Grading and Evaluation Procedures
The college awards letter grades in recognition of academic performance in each module of the full course. Grades are based upon peer assessments as described in the study process and the course instructor's academic judgment that the student has demonstrated a specified level of performance based on objective and subjective evaluations. Students are graded according to their individual performance in the course and not on a curve.
All of the grading criteria listed are subject to the specific course syllabus. Criteria for awarding grades as described in the courses syllabi may include, but are not limited to.
- Quality of assignments and peer assessments
- Sufficient participation in the discussion forums ( according to the requirements laid out in the course syllabus) and the quality of the postings
- Performance on final exam
Each course is based on a total 100 maximum points
Letter Grade
Quality Points
90 to 100%
80 to 89%
70 to 79%
60 to 69%
Below Average
Application of Grades and CreditsThe chart above describes the impact of each grade on a student's academic process. For calculating the rate of process, grades of F (failure), W (withdrawn), and I (incomplete) are counted as hours attempted, but are not counted as hours successfully completed. A W will not be awarded after reaching 60% of the term. Withdrawal after reaching 60% of the term will result in the student receiving a F. The student must repeat any required module for which a grade of F is received. Students will only be allowed to repeat a module in which they received a D or below. In the case of D or F, the better of the two grades is calculated into the GPA. Both original and repeated credits will be counted as attempted credits in rate of progress calculations. Full tuition will be charged for any portion of the program or course lab that is re-taken. To receive an incomplete (I), the student must petition, by the 8 week of the course, for an extension to complete the required course work. The student must be satisfactorily passing the course at the time of the petition. Incomplete grades that are not completed within two weeks after the end of term will be converted to an F and will affect the student's Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). The college reserves the right to extend the time needed to make-up an uncompleted grade. The student must be aware that skills lab make-up is on space available only.
Successful course completion depends on routinely following the instruction and guidelines provided in the course syllabus. Attendance is measured and recorded by posting responses to weekly discussion questions, participation in peer assessment process, timely submission of assignments, in addition to taking periodic surveys. As indicated above, while attendance is measured by participation in a number of activities, attendance and participation in those activities accounts for approximately 70% of the grade in each course, with a final examination constituting approximately 30%. Therefore, a student who chooses not to attend cannot pass a course.
Course Drops and Withdrawals
Course DropThe Aesthetic Dermatology Nursing is one course made up of seventeen modules and six days of skills lab. Students are responsible for managing their time and balancing their studies with their commitments. All students must complete all required online modules and clinical hours to graduate. A student has the right to drop the Aesthetic Dermatology Nursing course any time. A course drop applies to the full Aesthetic Dermatology Nursing program and does not assume withdrawal. Students are responsible for executing a course drop by written notice of cancellation and notice is sent via mail to 111 West Ocean Blvd. Suite 400, Long Beach, CA 90802 . The notice is effective by postmark date. Text message, phone call or email is not an accepted form of course withdrawal.
Course WithdrawalStudents who wish to withdraw from the Aesthetic Dermatology Nursing program must send and email to firstname.lastname@example.com indicating their name to student services requesting to withdraw. Students submitting a request to withdraw are also asked to indicate their reason for withdrawing in the email to student services. Students who have withdrawn but wish to return to study in the future will be required to re-apply for admission and to pay the current Application Processing Fee.
Administrative Withdrawal
Students who by the end of week 2 have not participated in the Aesthetic Dermatology Nursing course or who have minimal participation and show no credit for any grade assignments will be subject to an Administrative Withdrawal.
The following consequences apply to a student who is administratively withdrawn from the program
- The student receives a grade of W for the course
- The grade W appears on the student's transcript
- The grade of W does not affect the GPA, but course credits are included in attempted credits when monitoring academic progress
Leaves of Absence
The college may grant on a limited basis, a leave of absence to students when the student is experiencing extenuating circumstances that prevent attendance and/or challenge academic success. These circumstances may include medical emergencies, family emergencies and exceptional personal circumstances. The college reserves the right to request supporting documentation from relevant authorities.
A request for a leave of absence must be in writing, and e-mailed to firstname.lastname@example.com including:
- Student's full name (First and Last)
- Reason for the request
- Program Name
- Date of requested leave and the date of return
The time granted for a student's leave of absence will not count against the total time allowed for the program completion. Student affairs will decide whether to grant the student's request for a leave of absence after investigating the request, the supporting documents and the student's academic history.
The College awards the grade of "W" for courses from which the student has withdrawn due to an approved leave of absence. This grade does not affect the course completion rate, and therefore does not affect the measurement of the student's satisfactory progress.
Re-Enrollment PolicyStudents who have been granted a leave of absence may be re-enrolled based on the space availability.
Graduation Requirements
A certification of completion will be awarded to those students meeting the graduation requirements. Students eligible for a certificate of completion are those who have satisfactorily completed their course of study with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 (C average), who have passed the final exam with a letter grade of C or better, and who have fully paid all tuition charges. If a third party is paying for your course, the college will not issue the course completion record until the course has been completely paid in full. If a student does not meet graduation requirements, records of his/her attendance and grading will be maintained through official transcripts.
- The students must complete and pass all 17 online courses, exams, as well as, successfully meeting all competency evaluations, in addition to clinical skills.
- The program exit examination and clinical skills competency examination must be passed.
Retention of Records
College of Medical Aesthetics will maintain student records for five years, as required by state law. Student transcripts will be maintained permanently. Students have a right to access their records anytime that the institution is open and during normal business hours. Students desiring to view their records may request to see their records in the college office during normal business hours or may schedule a time to review records that is convenient to both the student and college administration. If an appointment is made, the appointment shall be made no later than 48 hours after the student has requested their records. Extensions of this time shall be granted only upon decision of the student. Only the student and the college have the right to review student records. No outside personnel will be allowed to view records except for appropriate state regulatory, federal regulatory or accrediting agency officials or upon proper subpoena. The student will issue a transcript for course work upon request. All transcripts of training will be kept indefinitely upon completion or withdrawal of the student. Financial payment documents will be kept for a period of at least 5 years after completion or withdrawal of the student. The institution reserves the right to issue transcripts for training for which the student has paid tuition. The institution reserves the right to refuse to issue transcripts for training for which the student has not paid tuition.
Tuition Payment Methods
College of Medical Aesthetics Accepts payment for tuition and other fees through cash payment, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, personal or a third party check. College of Medical Aesthetics also offers direct auto pay to defray any student loan debt upon completion of the program. Students assume the responsibility for payment of the tuition costs in full, either through direct payment or a third party financial plan. All financial arrangements must be made before the beginning of the class. The college will contact students who are delinquent in paying tuition and fees. They will be counseled and encouraged to make specific arrangements with the college in order to remove their delinquency and remain in good financial standing.
STUDENT'S RIGHT TO CANCEL:You have the right to cancel the enrollment agreement, and obtain a refund of charges paid through attendance at the first class session or the seventh day after enrollment, whichever is later. College of Medical Aesthetics shall transmit the first lesson to you on the day before the first scheduled start date of the program after you are accepted for admission. You shall have the right to cancel the agreement and receive a full refund before the first lesson is received. Cancellation is effective on the date written notice of cancellation is sent. If College of Medical Aesthetics transmits the first lesson before an effective cancellation notice is received, College of Medical Aesthetics shall make a refund within 45 days.
PROCEDURE TO CANCEL: Cancellation is effective on the date a written notice of cancellation is sent, this occurs when you have given written notice of cancellation and notice is sent via mail to 111 West Ocean Blvd. Suite 400, Long Beach, CA 90802 . The notice is effective by postmark date. Text message, phone call or email is not an accepted form of cancellation.
WITHDRAWAL FROM COURSE:The institutional refund policy for students who have completed 60 percent or less of the course of instruction shall be a pro rata refund. After the end of the cancellation period, you have a right to terminate your studies at this school at any time, and you have the right to receive a refund for the part of the course or program you have paid for and did not receive. You have the right to withdraw from the course of instruction at any time. If you withdraw from the course of instruction after the period allowed for cancellation, the school will remit a refund, less a registration fee of $250.00, within 45 days following your withdrawal. You are obligated to pay only for educational services rendered.
- Deduct a registration fee ($250) from the total tuition charge.
- Divide this figure by the number of days in the program.
- The quotient is the daily charge for the program.
- The amount owed by you for purposes of calculating a refund is derived by multiplying the total days attended by the daily charge for instruction.
- The refund would be any amount in excess of the figure derived in (D) that was paid by you.
- The refund amount shall be adjusted for equipment, if applicable.
If you receive federal student financial aid funds, you are entitled to a refund of moneys not paid from federal student financial aid program funds. If you obtain a loan to pay for your educational program, you will have the responsibility to repay the full amount of the loan plus interest, less the amount of any refund. If you are eligible for a loan guaranteed by the federal or state government and you default on the loan, both of the following may occur:
(1) The federal or state government or a loan guarantee agency may take action against you, including applying any income tax refund to which you are entitled, to reduce the balance owed on the loan.
(2) You may not be eligible for any other federal student financial aid at another institution or other government assistance until the loan is repaid.
Complaint Grievance ProcedureFrom time to time, difference in interpretation of college policies will arise among students, faculty and /or the administration. Persons seeking to resolve problems or complaints should first contact the instructor in charge. Requests for further action may be made to the College Director. When such differences arise, usually a miscommunication or misunderstanding is a major contributing factor. For this reason, we urge both students & staff to communicate any problems that arise directly to the individual (s) involved. If the problem cannot be resolved in this manner, the College Director should be contacted. Normally, the informal procedure of "discussing" differences will resolve the problem. In addition to complaints previously stated and appeals of an academic nature, a student has a right to complain to the institution. If a student wishes to file a written complaint, they may do so. All written complaints will be resolved within 10 days and will be sent to the student in writing. If a compliant cannot be resolved after exhausting the institution's grievance procedure, the student may file a complaint with the Bureau of Private Postsecondary Education. The student may contact the Bureau for further details. Unresolved complaints may be directed to.

Student Services
Guidance ServicesThe College of Medical Aesthetics provides assistance to students in solving personal or education- related problems, which may occur during the course of their education. Information regarding professional counselors and other appropriate community agencies is also available through Guidance Services.
Employment Assistance
College of Medical Aesthetics does not guarantee employment to any student upon graduation. Embarking on a course of education typically enhances one's thinking and potential job enhancement. The program offered at the College of Medical Aesthetics requires a significant commitment of time and effort. There is also the risk that, due to market fluctuations, personal issues or other factors, some graduates are unable to find employment in their field of training within a time-frame that is acceptable to them. Job search assistance will be in the form of some or all of the following:
- Interviewing skills seminars
- Resume preparation seminars
- Job search techniques seminars
- Referrals to potential employers
In the aesthetic dermatology-nursing field, many jobs start part-time, averaging 20 to 25 hours per week, with an opportunity to progress to or change employment to a job that is full-time.
Finding employment is a joint effort between the student and the College. The student must agree to cooperate with College staff in conducting a job search including providing a resume, participating in scheduled workshops, attending interviews and completing all required assignments.
Furthermore, it should be understood that the effort it takes to find a job upon completion of the program is equal to that of the program itself. In order to maximize chances for success, students must commit to a reasonable time-frame to complete the job search process, which typically takes several months beyond graduation. During this time, the student should maintain regular weekly contact with the College. It should also be understood that a potential employer may consider a job applicant's attitude, grades, attendance, and personal performance on an interview, work background, educational background and other intangible factors in determining whether or not to hire the applicant.
College of Medical Aesthetics programs are comprehensive in nature and are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in medical aesthetic nursing. An entry-level position usually entails additional training to learn further skills and protocols specific to that position. An applicant for an entry-level position, in order to secure employment, must adopt a "get your foot in the door" approach by maintaining flexibility with regard to salary, hours, location and potential relocation.
Online Distance Education Course Structure and Delivery
The College of Medical Aesthetics goal is to provide accessibility and academic accountability to students through online, distance learning and on campus for clinical skills. This is known as a blended course. The online course structure and delivery format used by the College is designed to provide a quality educational experience to students through professional instructional design in collaboration with innovative online technology.
The enrollment process is comprised of the following components.
- Enrollments are processed weekly
- Each enrollment has a start date and an anticipated end date
- Each student is assigned to a faculty member qualified to teach that subject
- The student interacts with the instructor in a "cohort of one" relationship
- A cohort of multiple students may be assigned based upon the program and /or course objectives
- The content delivery is based on the course structure and assessment schedule.
- Entering students are required to complete an online orientation before beginning the first course.
- Courses consist of modules that are identified in the course syllabus.
- Allowable completion time is seventeen weeks
- Extension petitions may be granted based upon the students' needs at the instructor approval
- Students are required to submit two or more assignments per module
- Specific courses are identified and require final exams
- Selected exams may be proctored. The number of proctored exams is based upon the level of the program
Student and Faculty InteractionThe instructional model is a cohort of one student per one family member. Student faculty interaction is mandatory throughout the course of study and managed through the online Virtual Learning Environment portal supported by Moodle. Students receive personalized attention through email, chats, and discussion board postings that are tailored to their needs and learning styles.
The primary academic goal is that students master the course objectives and complete all reading review and textbook module assignments within the course schedule. Instructors are responsible for initiating substantive contact with students throughout the course and monitor student's progress throughout the program. Monitoring and evaluation is accomplished by assignment submission and grading, discussion boards and through student and faculty surveys.
The Study Process and Student ResponsibilitiesThe recommended attendance hours are 16-20 per week per course (module). Students registered in the same course may be divided into sub-groups. Students will be expected to comply fully with the instructions in the course syllabus and to participate actively in required discussion forums by posting responses to questions and comments posted by instructors and other students. It is especially important that students get in the habit of seeking clarification from their fellow students or instructors on topics they find difficult.
Each module is comprised of several elements, including an introduction for the week, learning guide, reading selections, assignments, quizzes and discussion questions. Students must read the syllabus and should fully understand the components and requirements of the course.
• Components of the study process
• The Learning Guide
• The Learning Guide includes instructions on how to approach the weekly tasks. The guide might consist of a lecture intended to enrich and update the existing reference material, or a list of further reading references and activity sources, or a combination of both.
Reading AssignmentsThe reading assignments will be web and text-based, freely available electronic resources such as open textbooks, articles, tutorials, and links to open courseware, all with proper licensing agreements allowing use of the materials. In some cases, there will be optional links to animations, simulations, and audio and video lectures that are recommended.
ParticipationA primary goal is to provide students with a learning experience that will assist them in achieving their aspirations for both higher education and a subsequent career. To realize this goal, students must take a professional approach to their studies by being present, active and involved. Research has shown that student engagement is directly related to course success. Students who actively participate in both the required and voluntary learning activities and assignments are more likely to succeed.
The Course ForumOpen course forums allow all students and instructors to participate in discussion of questions and issues related to the course. Participation in the Classroom Forum is mandatory to gauge the knowledge of the subject when implementing nursing care plans, patient safety and collaboration with physicians.
Discussion ForumParticipation in the Discussion Forum is an integral part of the student's learning experience and grade. The minimum expectation for student involvement in the Discussion forum is outlined below.
Post an initial response to the "Discussion Question" every week. Postings and responses should be well thought out and researched and must consist of the student's own words or otherwise be appropriately cited with the relevant sources. Post a minimum of two comments per week in the Discussion Forum (e.g. providing constructive feedback to another student's posting and developing the discussion). It is expected that students will participate in at least 15 out of 17 discussion forums in a 17-week course. Failure to do so may result in a failing grade (F) for the course.
Assignments and AssessmentsStudents are required to submit their assignments as described in the Learning Guide and Course Syllabus. The instructor designated for each module each week will assess assignments. The grade for the assignment is based on evidence based knowledge, independent research and compendencies. All assignments must be submitted in APA (American Psychological Association) format using appropriate referencing citation. Faculty will closely monitor for plagiarism. Students are required to use research resources (the internet, libraries, journals) for additional materials used in the students studies.
Late AssignmentsCollege of Medical Aesthetics does not accept late assignments. It is important that students understand that missing a submission deadline precludes that possibility of participating in the clinical skills lab. If a student feels that exceptional circumstances will prevent him or her timely submission of an assignment, he or she should contact the assigned instructor prior to the due date.
Library Resources
In support of our students and their academic pursuits, College of Medial Aesthetics has provided Library resources including but not limited to latest video tapes, CDs as well as current journal publications and medical and nursing books are available for the student use. In addition to CINAHL, MedScape, HHS, and trade journals are available to students for research purposes. Some suggested journals have an annual fee that is paid by the student voluntarily and are not required reading assignments.
Computer and Internet ResourcesNo learning resources, the Virtual Learning Environment, Course and Class Forums are open to public access. However students should note that the learning resources are not private or confidential and neither students nor faculty should assume privacy when communicating on the Virtual Learning Environment for regulatory, accreditation, and other administrative purposes, or for the purpose of enforcing the Code of Conduct, including investigating allegations of misconduct, suspected misconduct or other complaints.
Course Forum AccessFor regulatory, accreditation and other administrative purposes, the Course Forum may be accessed and observed by persons other than students, faculty and staff. Access to the Course Forum will be authorized only after the review of such a request and the determination that access is necessary and appropriate, does not infringe on the activities of students and faculty, and does not threaten the academic integrity of the course forum. Although the course forum is not open to public access, it is neither a private nor a confidential domain. Neither students nor faculty should assume privacy with the course forum.
Contact Information for StudentsStudents are responsible for keeping their contact information accurate and current. Student's contact information is the information they submitted upon initiating the application process. Student's wishing to update any of their contact information should contact student services firstname.lastname@example.com or phone 949.945.3919 and include Student's full name (first and last)
The primary form of official communication is through e-mail. Students are required to maintain active e-mail addresses and inform the college of any change of address according to the process described above. To ensure receipt of important communications, students should make sure that spam filters are set to receive e-mail from the college.
Electronic CommunicationElectronic communication is the preferred communication media for students, faculty and staff. In order to take advantage of this technology, it is required that students, faculty and staff acquire and maintain e-mail access with the capability to send and receive attached files.

Creamy Fruit Freeze {Guest Post} Our Best Bites
While I get my self settled back in from the amazing time I had in Utah at the EVO conference, I have one more special guest for you. You have probably heard of a "little" {wink} called Our Best Bites? Or maybe you've picked up their cookbook? Sara and Kate are two girls who love to cook and show us that home cooking can be easy and fun!
Hey there! I'm Sara from Our Best Bites and I'm thrilled to be hanging out with y'all today! My blog partner Kate and I are c-r-a-z-y about homemade ice cream, but we get lots of emails from folks that don't own ice cream makers and still want in on the creamy homemade action. No fear! There's actually lots of non-ice-cream-maker friendly recipes and this is one of our favorites!
It's so easy, and only takes 3 ingredients. Seriously, three! Fresh fruit, sugar, and whipping cream. The finished consistency is a little more rich and elegant than a sorbet, but easier and lighter than an ice cream. It falls somewhere in the middle. The great part is that you can customize the flavor and make it with whatever fruit you happen to have on hand. I happened to have some gorgeous blackberries, and perfectly ripe mangoes, so I went with that! Let's get cooking, shall we?
First, pop your fruit in a food processor with some sugar to make a puree.
Puree until it's nice and smooth (you could strain the seeds out at this point if you're one of those people who cringes when biting down on a berry seeds; I am not one of those people!)
You'll set aside a little of this puree to use later in the recipe.
Next you just need some fresh whipped cream. Definitely lick the beaters when you're done. Totally necessary.
Are you ready for this? We've already used all of our ingredients and this is going to get super duper complicated. Just a warning.
Fold the whipped cream into the puree.
Whew! We made it. It's amazing that something this simple can be so delicious! Now, make sure not to stir at this point. Folding means to gently scoop from the bottom and fold it over to the top. That way you don't use all of that nice fluffy air in the cream.
Guess what? Almost done! Just pop it into a freezer safe container now and chill until it's at a good scooping consistency. A few hours should do it.
When it's ready to eat, spoon into bowls and use the reserved puree as a sauce.
Amazingly delicious and oh so easy! Try it with strawberries, peaches, you name it!
Summary: A non-ice-cream-maker friendly recipe with only 3 ingredients.
- 4 C berries or roughly diced fruit
- 1 C sugar
- 1 C heavy whipping cream
- Combine fruit and sugar in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Reserve 1 cup of the puree (store in fridge until ready to use).
- In a mixing bowl, whip heavy whipping cream until soft-medium peaks form.
- Gently fold into the remaining puree just until combined.
- Place in a freezer safe container and freeze until firm (about 2-4 hours).
- Scoop into bowls and serve with remaining puree and extra berries if desired.
Recipe courtesy of Sara at Our Best Bites.
Variations: You can customize the flavor and make it with whatever fruit you happen to have on hand.
Thanks Cheryl for letting me come play today! I hope you guys enjoy this easy treat as much as I do. Come visit me at ourbestbites.com any time!

By Jon Connor (Regional Support) NTM-A, CSTC-A)November 30, 2010
CAMP STONE, Afghanistan - For one airman, you can get your award and eat Turkey too.
Such was the case for Senior Airman Brandon Bednarski when Brig. Gen. John J. McGuiness awarded the Joint Service Commendation Medal at Camp Stone in the Herat province in western Afghanistan on Thanksgiving Day.
McGuiness is the deputy commander for Regional Support, NATO Training Mission - Afghanistan and Combined Security Transition Command - Afghanistan.
Bednarski was in a group of a dozen U.S. military and Afghanistan personnel awarded in an outside ceremony near the flagpole under a bright sky. The other military members received achievement medals and local personnel were given certificates of appreciation. Bednarski's was the highest award given in recognition of his tour coming to an end.
"I'm just stoked," the 27-year-old Hampton, Va., native said. "Been proud to be here. I take back a lot of memories."
Bednarski served a seven-month tour assisting in the management of the Regional Support Command-West budget. "I handle the Army's money," he said.
I have "a better semblance of what we're doing here," Bednarski said looking back. Ultimately, he said, the Afghans will manage the entire Regional Support Command-West budget.
Soon he will head back to his home base - MacDill Air Force Base, Fla. -- in early December. Awaiting there will be his wife of nearly five years and their two children.
As it turns out, military life has meant Bednarski and his wife have not spent three of their anniversaries together - in October -- thanks to advanced training in his specialty, pre-deployment training, and this deployment. But, the silver lining now is that he will be home for Christmas.
Numbers are what Bednarski likes as he has already completed his associate degree from the Air Force's own Community College in accounting and finance. This accomplishment and others will help him get promoted to the next rank of staff sergeant in early 2011, he said.
Looking ahead, Bednarski said he's about 30 credits away from a bachelor's degree in finance and accounting.
After the midday ceremony, McGuiness, assisted by other camp leadership, began serving Thanksgiving meals to those at Camp Stone.
But first McGuiness spoke to those attending the ceremony afterward wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving and thanking them for their service.
"You chose to be here," he said. "That says a lot about you and your character. You all do a phenomenal job. Thank you very much and have a Happy Thanksgiving."
The first person in line was Army Spc. Justin Fuller, 27, of Company B, 2-22nd Infantry Regiment. He received a lobster tail from McGuiness, complemented by mashed potatoes and rice.
Nearly five hours after the dining facility opened its doors for the festive meal, nearly 750 people had passed through, the headcount showed, with 15 minutes left to serve. Most all left stuffed with traditional holiday food.
The mission of the RSC-West is to provide directive authority and oversight to coordinate and synchronize the operations of NTM-A/CSCT-A elements in the west region to build Afghanistan National Security Force (ANSF) capacity and support RSC-West, a command slide briefing stated.
This ANSF capacity consists of sustaining and advising during a transition to a professional, accountable, credible, self-sustaining ANSF capable of providing enduring security to the government and populace it serves, briefing slides stated.

School officials spent much of last Wednesday dealing with a possible mercury contamination.
According to Dee Gee Fischer, assistant superintendent of Harrison County Schools, a Northside Elementary third grade student had a trace amount of mercury in a plastic container on the school bus and then in the school's cafeteria.
The student showed the less-than-dime-size amount of mercury to four students on bus no. 952 and to five students at his breakfast table.
The ribbon has been cut and gravel tossed. It's official.
Two state road projects in Harrison County totalling $33 million, were ceremonially completed and started.
The ribbon-cutting was for the completion of the $8.9 million bridge that spans the CSX Railroad on the north end of Cynthiana.
Monday's ribbon cutting marked the official opening of the bridge.
A well-preserved copy of The Guardian of Liberty, Cynthiana's first known newspaper, is now available for public viewing at the Cynthiana-Harrison County Museum.
The June 24, 1817, issue was discovered in July by Anthony Defilio of Barnhart, Mo., in his parents' home in St. Louis. Defilio said that he knew no connection of his family or the home's previous owners to Kentucky.
Very seldom does a story walk in off the streets and into my office.
However, that's exactly what happened last week when the busiest senior citizen of Harrison County, Charlie Tribble, brought Prue Manson from Timaru, New Zealand, by for a chat.
Prue came to the states to make visits all around, but primary on her itinerary was visiting her mother's pen pal, Beverly Steffe.
Miss Steffe, a retired school teacher and sister-in-law of Charlie, had been pen pals with Prue's mother, Heather Scott, since 1978.
Revival services will be held Sept. 23-25 at Berry Baptist Church, Main Street, Berry. Services will be held at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.
Guest speakers will be Bro. Bob Jones on Friday, Bro. Ronnie Wolfe on Saturday, and Sunday at 10 a.m. will be Bro. Bob Jones and at 11 a.m. Bro. Bobby Lakes. The Blue Grass Boys Quartet will provide music on Friday and Saturday only.
For more information call Pastor Carl Morton at 859-356-2887. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Forty-one years ago, Steve Starnes played football alongside Al Cowlings and O.J. Simpson as the Buffalo Bills fifth-round draft pick out of the University of Tampa.
He also played for the Green Bay Packers and the (former) Boston Patriots.
He was big and burly. Then he injured his neck and his professional football career, the dream of many little boys and grown men, was cut short. Five years ago a stroke nearly took his life.

A Fayette County inmate who has been on the lam for two weeks was captured in Harrison County Monday night.
Trina Hurst, 31, was given a furlough on Sept. 6 to attend a trial for the man accused of murdering her father in north Lexington in April 2010.
Hurst did not return to the Fayette County Detention Center at the end of the day. According to media accounts, Hurst walked out of the courtroom when graphic photographs of her father were shown. Her father was beaten to death.

Phoenix invites bids from residents for 'Community Chest'
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing
Phoenix Community Housing is inviting residents and organisations to bid for a share of £100,000 through a "Community Chest" funding scheme that gives tenants a direct say on projects in their area.
London's first resident-owned social landlord launched its five-year £500,000 Community Chest funding scheme in 2013. The scheme "encourages groups and organisations to come up with creative projects that will make a real difference to the lives of residents at Phoenix's 6,300 homes in the Downham, Bellingham and Whitefoot wards of south Lewisham".
Phoenix is now inviting bids for a share of the £100,000 on offer through its 2014 Community Chest, with all shortlisted applications to go to a public vote at a Community Links event in June. Groups can apply for larger funding of more than £1,500 or a range of smaller and fledgling grants to kickstart their project.
Phoenix chief executive Jim Ripley said: "This scheme is all about handing over control to the experts – the residents who live in our properties and the organisations that work in our community. They're the ones who know the kind of projects that will have the biggest impact in their neighbourhood and to people's lives."
Under the first wave of Community Chest funding last year, the public voted for projects which included a new allotment clubhouse, holiday schemes for young people (photo) and support sessions for carers.
More details from www.phoenixch.org.uk. The deadline for applications is 23 April.

The Color Purple
by Alice Walker
The Color Purple Letter One Summary
- Celie is fourteen-years-old.
- Her mother has just given birth to yet another child. Her Pa wants to start having sex with his wife again, but she pushes him away saying it's too soon after giving birth.
- Pa molests Celie, using her in place of her mother. Pa tells Celie she'd better never tell anybody but God. This may explain why Celie begins each entry by addressing God in little letters/prayers—it's the only person she has to tell these things to.
- Celie's mom is happier now that Pa isn't pestering her all the time for some action. But, she's also sick.
- Celie seems to have morning sickness.

With 38 games left and three teams standing between the Mets and the second NL wild card, manager Terry Collins is convinced his ballclub can still make a serious push for the playoffs.
A strong outing from Noah Syndergaard and another home run from slugger Yoenis Cespedes certainly helped.
Syndergaard and Jeurys Familia combined on a three-hitter and Cespedes homered off Jeff Samardzija, leading New York over the San Francisco Giants 2-0 on Sunday night.
"We've had a tough time, but if you're going to win, your good players have to play good," Collins said. "We ride those guys. Hopefully this is the start of what we've been looking to...

Hello CVS shareholder, do you know what Mr. Weldon had done to JNJ n the past 10 years. We JNJ are so happy to get rid of him. It is time to sell CVS now
Cause he is going to run the day to day OPS. NOT!!! I guess you have been waiting for Weldon's name to pop up so you could resume your your personal "hate on". I just hope you sold JNJ shares when Weldon was at the helm. Today you look like a fool. Another laid off dead wood ex JNJ employee!!!
Long time not hear from you. I thought you have moved to Florida and carrying the golf bag for your master.
I can hear the shareholders at Walgreen's cheering now!!! If Weldon does for CVS what he did for J&J, CVS will be a Dollar Store before long.
More like a penny store.
Thank you for the Christmas Morning Moment! I've been thinking of selling my Walgreens and sticking it into Newmont Gold with all this fiat money the government is printing up to pay its bills inflation is going to come back rampant someday. I'm going to keep Walgreens, but I won't be sleeping at night, I'll be too busy laughing into my pillow thinking of Weldon messing up CVS.

Lampre-Merida announced their squad for this year's first Grand Tour with Poland's Przemyslav Niemec, Italian Simone Stortoni and Colombian Jose Serpa charged with assisting the 2011 winner of the three-week race.
Scarponi picked up that title by default after Alberto Contador was stripped of victory following his failed drugs test at the 2010 Tour de France.
In last year's defence of his crown, the Italian finished the Giro in fourth place, with Canadian Ryder Hesjedal of Garmin-Barracuda claiming the pink jersey.
Lampre also named Roberto Ferrari in their roster and the Italian will be expected to contest for wins in the sprints, while Filippo Pozzato will hope to atone for a disappointing Spring.

Please don't fall victim to HIS HARD LUCK STORIES...
I met Mr. Gwinn on a social network site and casually began a regular routine of personal chatting online and telephone chatting. Within just a few weeks of knowing each other, he asked me if I could wire him money through Western Union because he said, "He had no groceries in the house to feed his sons" and as my name implies over the next few months I foolishly fell victim to his scam and wired him money on numerous occasions. I am not looking for repayment, and I am not just a jilted lover, this is the truth and I am just so thankful for this website that might be able to finally stop him from doing this any longer and help someone else to know not to fall into this man's trap. I know for a fact that he has done this for many years. He is as fake as a 3 dollar bill...

My brother in law took a wet vac there & they started sucking out water before "Dry Wizard" arrived. Two guys showed up approx. 4:15pm. My brother in law offered 2 guys to help them but they refused. They sucked the water out, removed the carpet, tore out all my baseboards, set up lots of fans & left about 9:45pm.
I called my insurance the next day, finding out that they would not cover the expenses. Immediately I called Dry Wizard & told them & asked them how much it would be.
He faxed me an invoice for $5,600!
The invoice is so ridiculus, I would like to put it here for everyone to see. They charged us for 19 different things. Example:
Moisture mapping $140.85 & thermal imaging $281.70, whats that for? We all knew where it was coming from! Clean water out of the toilet!!
Emergency serv. $175, ok but overtime $422 & itemized labor of Baseboard removal $75, carpet removal $264.60, furniture moving $390, And a whole lot more!!
After I made a negative comment about the invoice, they went there, took their fans down & send they would lower the invoice to $4,823.55, saying their giving me a break since the place is dry a day earlier!(If it was insurance money, they would have kept them there 3 days)
Tuesday morning my brother in law went there & seen the pile of carpet & baseboards on the lawn and called me telling me what idiots they were. The baseboards were only wet an hour and should have been taken off nicer so I could still use them.
Oh yeah, they were charging me $250 to haul this stuff away on the invoice. I called Dry Wizard & told them NOT to come haul it away. And he said OK, we wont. I wanted to pick out the few baseboards that could be reused AND we had a truck to take it to the dump for $7. I was over there an hour later & everything was gone!
If you can legally charge someone almost $5,000 for 6 hours work & fan rental, we all need to start that business!!
We are getting an attorney for this also!
This is insane!

Dry Wizard unscrupulous liars
AUTHOR: damann - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 19, 2012POSTED: Thursday, July 19, 2012
I will simply say this: Anything that anyone who works for them says, is a lie. If they say insurance will cover it, it won't. If they say they will be there the next day, they won't. If they say it will take x amount of time, it will take three times longer. If two people are needed to do the job, they will send one. If you call them on their lies, they will do one of two things: 1) Blame someone else; or 2) Deny they ever said what you know they said to your face.
Daniel Linga is a "field supervisor", and a bald faced liar. Joe something or other is the owner, and a no good liar. Some girl named Giselle works in the office and she too, is a liar who will give you the most ridiculous BS excuses conceivable. There is also some weaselly little guy who will talk your ear off with assurances that this or that will be done the right way or within a certain time frame and "guarantee" that this or that will happen and he is a dirty stinking liar.
Trust these scumbags at your peril.

hello, I just installed and I am testing with this Multilingual plugin:
Seems like it is working out of the box. However, I have some questions:
1. Is is possible to show six by six month calendar, with arrow scroller (6 month forward, six month back)?
2. Is it possible to "force" next year in view. For example, renters which aim for summer guests, in this time want to show next summer on screen, wit forward/back scroll-able options.
3. Is it possible to have first and last day in block half marked (first night and last day morning - arrival and departure days)?
4. Any plan to add JS selectable dates which values could be passed to contact form (inquiry for selected dates). No need to provide online booking, just send inquiry by e-mail.
Such options would make one complete solution for little renters (private house owners). I hope you will think about it.

Skill Level Beginner
In this movie we are going to look at what's called symbolic links. These are also called sym links for short. So you'll often hear me just say sym link. We create them the same way as we do the hard links. We just use ln, short for link, but we use the -s option to indicate that it's a symbolic link. So ln -s and then the file that we want to link or a path to the file that we want to link, followed by the name of the link or a path with the name at the end, just like we did for hard links. We have our target followed by the name of the link.
Where symbolic links are very different from hard links is that symbolic links reference the path to the file. That's what they keep track of, is the path to get to that file. Not the file itself. So hard links keep track of the file on the hard drive and point to that file; instead symbolic links keep track of the fact, which directory is this file embedded in. As a consequence that means that they break if the file is moved. The file is no longer at that path, well, then when we try and do something with this links its going to go to that path and it's going to say, "Oh, wait I was expecting a file to be there," and it's not and you'll get an error.
And of course, if the file is deleted then, the file will definitely not be at that path any more and so will also break which is different from the way hard links works. Let's try working with symbolic links. Notice that I am inside Unix files and in here we have some files already created. You can see that I have hard link that I created in the last movie. We also have linkdir, which is just an empty directory that we'll be using again in this movie, and then I have a couple of aliases that I created in the Finder. Those aren't going to be included in the exercise file, just because they don't travel well.
They really do reference things on my file system. So you won't have those in exercise files, but they are easy for you to create. At the end of the hard link movie, we deleted our original file to see how that worked and see how it kept the data around. So what I want to do now is I want to recreate that file. So the first thing we want to do is nano, and let's create linkedfile.txt and this time just give it any kind of different text from what we had before. This is Another link test. So different than the text we had before and we'll safe that.
And the reason that I want to show you that it's different is just so that you see that this hard link still has a size of 10, while our new one has the size of 18 and if we take a look at that hard link it's still pointing at the old file. So I don't want you to think this is in any way related to this new file that we just created. So now let's see how we go back creating sym links. The way we do that is with ln and then the -s option, the path to the target file that we want to make a link to, so in our case that's going to be linkedfile.txt, and then the name of the link that we want to create.
I am going to call it symlink. Let's take a look at that and you can see the file and notice that it's very different. Notice right of the bat it says symlink and then we have this arrow and then the path to the file. We can't really see the path there because it's in the same directory. But if it were listed somewhere else on the file system we would have the full path that it would take to get to that from here. Notice also that at the beginning it's not a regular file. It's an l file. We have seen the d and we have seen the dash. This one has an l to let us know that it's a link.
The hard link doesn't do that. The hard link is just like a regular file. If we look at it in the Finder, you'll see that in the Finder it does give it this little icon to make it look like its alias just like Finder, but it's not. Looh at the difference here. Look at the size of this alias we created earlier and look at this size. Here is the difference. You see this path right here. Count up those characters. There are fourteen characters in that path. That's the fourteen characters that are being stored inside this file. So, this special type of link file and what's inside of it? Just the path to find this other thing.
So when we try and do something to the symlink, like cat symlink, what Unix does is it goes to the symlink and it says, "Oh, wait, this isn't a normal file. this is a link file. I need to read the path that's in here, go to that path, and try and find the file that's indicated and do this action to that file." The way that an alias normally works, it's more like the way the Finder does it. When we do something in the Finder, it's not pointing to the same file on the file system. It's pointing to the file itself. It's an alias to that file and if the file goes way the link breaks.
The difference is that our symlink, we can't move the file around or it breaks, because it just keeps track of this path. It's the simplest possible implementation of this. Whereas the Finder version keeps a lot more data around, so that it can keep track of this file. That's why its so much bigger is because it has this added ability that it doesn't break as you move things around. You drop something into a folder? Then no problem, your alias keeps working. But if you move something into a folder here with your symlink, let's move linkedfile into linker, now cat our sym link and it says, "Oops no such follow directory". Because it's still pointing at that same place, but when it gets there the file is not there anymore.
But in the same way, if we move it back, move linkdir linkedfile.txt, move it into this directory, now we can cat our symlink again and it works again, because it went to that path and the file was there again. It suddenly magically worked. So, just references the path. Now of course if we threw this file away, then of course it would break because the file wouldn't be at that location anymore, just the same as when we moved it. So there's really three different approaches to this and you can see why Apple came up with their alias approach.
It sort of tries to marry the best aspect of hard link and symlinks together into something new. But there's three different ways of doing it and you need to understand them all to be able to choose which one you want. Now the short version, 99% of the time, what you are going to want is symlinks. That's usually what you mean. When you are working in Unix what you are usually trying to do is give yourself a shortcut to say from this folder, boy, I really wish I had a shortcut to just shoot over to my web access logs. My access logs aren't going to move. Chances are they are going to stay in the same place.
So I'll make a symlink from here and then I can just see the end of that directory and boom, I'll be inside my web log. The other nice thing about symlinks is that they do work in the Finder. So here in the Finder, if I double- click on this, it opens it up, exactly the same as these other ones do. To the Finder they seem the same, the only difference being that symlinks are brittle and they do break if files move around.

Continental Gatorskin Tire - Clincher $54.95
The Continental Gatorskin Tires are a bit less costly than the ever-popular G.P. 4-Season. However, like the 4-Season, the Gatorskins are made for the insults of gritty winter riding. Comparatively, they're a bit slower, a bit heavier, but it's because they are unmatched for puncture-proofness. The secret to their durability on bad roads is twofold and is due to Continental's materials technology.
They use Duraskin anti-cut fabric to give the sidewalls extra protection against cuts. It's a polyamide (nylon) mesh that is bonded onto the sidewall plies. It acts like the ripstop material you'd find on ultralight jackets or tents. In the event that you do encounter a sharp object with potential to cut the sidewall, the Duraskin mesh will resist and most importantly limit the extent of the damage. The second line of defense is a puncture resistant layer under the tread called Poly X Breaker. It's a dense layer of tough nylon, designed to add serious protection. With the tread and sidewall bolstered against the hazards of the road, you'll worry less about grit and gravel on the edge of the road and more about enjoying your ride.
Continental Gatorskin Tires have Black tread with Black Duraskin sidewalls. They're available in 700 x 23c and 700 x 25c folding versions.
- Dual-layer puncture protection

Love my Gators
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These gatorskin tires are nice and durable. You might be mad when you get a flat, but these tires will make it hard to remember the last time you fixed a flat. A great training tire that might be a little heavy but keeps your butt on the saddle and your legs turning. Get them if you put your miles in.
The ultimate training tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There simply is no better tire for training. I got 6000 miles out of my last set and I probably would have gotten a few more if I had not used them on my trainer over the winter. Sidewalls are very durable. Extremely resistant to punctures by road debris, but not impervious. They can be punctured by wires, but seem to be pretty resistant to glass.
Never had a flat
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
bought these to replace an older set and I love them for my commuter. Since its for commuting i dont mind or really notice the extra weight
The standard.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
There's a reason why everyone and their moms spend most of their non-race miles on Gatorskins; namely, no one likes flats, and they like their moms getting flats even less. These are the standard, anti-puncture endurance tires. They don't withstand everything, but they'll hold up a lot better to random road debris than your typical racing tire.
Great all 'rounder
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
While the rubber is not as supple as the 4000s2, they still make riding on all surfaces smooth as butta! These are the chip seal champions. 28mm is the new 25mm, and I'm never going back. Ive ridden these on buffed dirt roads, and on brand-new asphalt, they are awesome
Great City Tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used these on my bar bike/fixie for years and have never had an issue. I think I have had one flat in 3 years (knock on wood)! I even rode a few blocks with very limited PSI and wore the sidewall down slightly but once I put a new tube in they were still smooth as silk.
Ride with confidence
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently decided to switch over to the gatorskins from the 4000s' and have save a ton of tubes since. Same great traction and compound with Black Chili, at a slight weight penalty. To me the flat resiliency is worth it.
The Best
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been using this tire on my front and the Gator Hardshell (http://www.backcountry.com/continental-gator-hardshell-road-tire) on the back of my bike for roughly 2 years now and it is the best combination for a single speed commuter set up. Easy to put on and they last. Great gear allows you the confidence to not have to think about it while using it. I never worry that these are going to fail on me and that makes for great rides.
Reliable tyres
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
First time user of Conti tyres. So far no hassle whatsoever. Body feels sturdy and realiable and they look like they were built to last.
Comes with all the technology you would expect from any high end tyre. They are foldable so you can stash them pretty easy.
Great commuting tire
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Reliable and great price point! Really holds up in a multitude of conditions!
Always a winner!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my go-to off season, commuter, rough road, etc tire and I have even put some hard racing miles on them. Great grip, low rolling resistance and most importantly outstanding puncture resistance. I have tried other similar options that offer flat protection, but have not had the same overall performance as with the Gators.
Throw anything at them
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Brilliant handling. Ridden through rain, snow, sand and dry tarmac. In all situations these tires gripped and hauled ass. Ran over a 5 inch bolt, no damage at all.
Seriously recommended for the cyclist who isn't racing, but likes to go fast.
Can't beat the price either. Best value.
My only training tire
The best for long miles
No more flats!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Its a great tire for flat protection and overall training. It was a long life and protected well against flats. Don't know if would really race in them but for the purpose for everyday training and riding you can't go wrong. I'm on my third pair and have nothing to complain about .
Website glitch w/ initial review
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I ride a 2013 S-Works Venge, currently run Roval CLX 60 & Fulcrum Zero wheels on post-apocalypse Texas roads. My second set of Continental tires - previously rode Hard Skins. I ride 60 - 150 miles per week, & have had NO issues with either of these two offerings from the Continental family (another testament to German engineering). Better yet - got last set from CC for $40 each - can't be beat!
Great all around tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are my go to tires. I have been using gatorskins for 8 years, have always got well over 1,000 miles on them and rarely had flats. I am not a racer. I ride about 40 -100 miles per week in dry conditions ( I avoid rain if possible) on gently rolling roads to steep climbs with steep down hills and I love the grip these tires give me on tight downhill curves. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a solid tire that will give you miles and stability on the roads.
gnar bar test approval
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Gator skins are amazing tires, tough, long-lasting, and hand-made with care.
Perfect winter training tire
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I bought these for the hubs b/c Gatorskins have always been my go-to Winter tire, so they get 5 stars from me too. Here's his review:
This is my first time on 25mm tires after 12 years on 23mm. I honestly can't tell a difference. But that doesn't matter because these tires rock…and always will. Grippy, race-pace speed with puncture resistance and long life. What's not to love??!!
Added piece of mind....
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have used Gatorskins in the past on a commuter bike and the tread was worn out before they had a puncture. I decided to try a set on my race bike after reaching the "0.99% flat rate" over the summer while running GP4000's. I love the 4k's, but especially going into fall and winter having to change a flat on the side of the road is a real bummer. So far, I'm impressed. I ride the same routes, over the same roads and have yet to experience any trauma.
While no tire is 100% puncture resistant....ok, no non-solid tire..., any added protection will help. As for the handling characteristics, They really do not feel too different than GP400's unlesss the road is really, really cold. If it's cold enough outside that you can feel the difference, just back off a notch on the cornering ; )
Great tires!
Extreme Durable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you are looking for a tire that last longer than a month and helps prevent flats, this is the tire you need. The Poly X breaker and the duraskin side wall combine to create the toughest tire out.
