Dr. Scott LaMascus will become Oklahoma Christian University's new vice president for academic affairs in January.
The 1984 Oklahoma Christian graduate chaired OC's Department of Language and Literature from 2000 to 2006 and has directed OC's Honors Program since 2009.
LaMascus helped establish OC's McBride Center for Public Humanities, which brings high-profile writers and speakers to Oklahoma, and helped the university secure a $200,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities last year.
The Hennessey, Okla., native earned OC's Gaylord Chair of Distinguished Teaching in 2003 and the university's Faculty Leadership Award in 2008. He serves on the national board of the Conference on Christianity and Literature and on the board of the Oklahoma Humanities Council.
"Dr. LaMascus is a true scholar and collaborator with his colleagues. He is a fantastic teacher and mentor. He is one of our best student recruiters," President John deSteiguer said. "He connects effectively with external supporters and friends, and he develops and moves programs forward. Scott is a strong Christian and has a wonderful family. He is OC's ideal chief academic leader for the future."
After graduating from Oklahoma Christian with an English degree, LaMascus earned his master's degree and doctorate at the University of Oklahoma. He taught at OU and Georgia Southwestern State University before returning to Oklahoma Christian as a language and literature professor.
During his tenure as chair, LaMascus helped OC's Department of Language and Literature grow from 37 majors to 117. His leadership helped Honors Program alumni achieve a 100 percent acceptance rate to graduate schools the past three years.
OC's Honors Program offers what the National Collegiate Honors Council calls the "most robust" model for Honors programs, with an Honors core curriculum in place of the general education core. Most OC Honors students live on campus in Honors House at Davisson Hall, which opened last year.
In addition to his faculty roles, LaMascus was staff writer of the Christian Chronicle, an international newspaper for Churches of Christ, from 1984 to 1989 and managing editor from 1999 to 2005. He and his wife, Dr. Alice Mankin, a family practice physician at Mercy, have two sons and are active members at Memorial Road Church of Christ.
A five-member committee assisted deSteiguer with the search process for OC's new academic leader: Dr. Larry Jurney, who is serving as interim vice president for academic affairs this fall; Dr. Jim Baird, professor of Bible and philosophy; Dr. LeeAnne Paris, associate professor of library science and president of OC's Faculty Association; Dr. Kerianne Roper, associate professor of business; and Dr. Bill Goad, executive vice president.
"I'm very humbled to have been interviewed by the advisory committee and asked by President deSteiguer to serve in this new way," LaMascus said. "OC's future is bright because of the amazing things done by alumni, students, faculty, staff and trustees to make the OC experience compelling. It is exciting to work with these people and to see their commitment to Christian higher education. I pray that together we can sustain and build on the legacies of great teachers and scholars who have led us in academics since 1950."
When LaMascus assumes his new role in January, he will become the ninth full-time dean or vice president of academics in OC's 63-year history. Oklahoma Christian has had just four chief academic leaders over the past 54 years: Dr. Stafford North (1958-1976); Dr. Bailey McBride (1976-1996); Dr. Jeanine Varner (1996-2007); and Dr. Allison Garrett (2007-2012). North and McBride are in the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame.
Oklahoma Christian is recognized as one of the best universities in the western United States by U.S. News and World Report and The Princeton Review.
The last eight years have featured OC's eight highest enrollments ever, including a record 2,271 students this year. OC's 2012 freshman class includes seven National Merit Finalists, including four from Oklahoma, the most in the state after OU. Oklahoma Christian currently has more than 30 National Merit Finalists enrolled.
OC is nationally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and has discipline-specific accreditations from ABET (computer engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering), the Association of Collegiate Business Schools and Programs, the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Accreditation, the Council for Interior Design Accreditation, the National Association of Schools of Music, and the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.
The university offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study and graduate programs in business administration, engineering, ministry, and divinity. OC's MBA program is offered both on-site and online.
In addition to its Oklahoma City campus, OC has study abroad opportunities in Europe, Honduras and the Pacific Rim. This year, Oklahoma Christian opened a Learning Support Center in Kigali, Rwanda, allowing Rwandan students to study in OC's online MBA program.

Here's hoping all you curmudgeons have a wonderful Christmas!
Thanks to Frank for the lovely photos.
Narrator: "AND NOW, FROM HOLLYWOOD..."
Warmth From The Pontiac Cast
This'll be a sincere thank you to the George Liquor audience and a wish for happiness in the coming year for everyone who believes in the American Way and 32 miles to the gallon.
Narrator: "IT'S THE MAN OF THE HOUR, GEORGE LIQUOR HIMSELF!"
The audience applauds wildly.George: LET'S HEAR IT FOR THE PONTIAC PLAYERS!
The curtains open to reveal...
Characters in front of curtain
George, Jimmy, Sody, Slab 'N' Ernie, Mabel's Butt, Donald Bastard and Cigarettes the Cat are standing in front of the curtains on the stage.
They are wearing Christmas stuff.
The Pontiac Vibe is on a tall pedestal in the background. It is bedecked with Christmas ornamentation. Santa is tied to it.
The sponsor stands there with the gang - in a suit, wearing gold rings and smoking a huge cigar. His thumbs are under his lapels and he is beaming with pride.
George: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE AT PONTIAC, WE'D LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR WATCHING OUR SHOW ON THE INTERNETS EVERY WEEK.
There is a Christmas Tree
Let's have a week of peace
George is sweating from putting on such an energetic show.
George does a preamble:
"Listen up here, will ya? I got sumpin' important to say.
This is the season of peace for all mankind. Peace, love and mutual understanding. Let's all set aside our Goddamn differences and put down our guns for a week. Deal?"
Cut to a cave. Inside are a moose squirrel, raccoon, duck and cockroach watching Pontiac Playhouse on a big computer monitor.
They all breathe a sigh of relief.
George: "Next week we can all go back to killing each other….and I got a list!"
George wishes Audience a Merry Xmas
"So on behalf of our wunerfull sponsor, Pontiac' Vibe, we'd all like to wish you a Merry Christmas!"
Lawyer Ruins Christmas - Donald Bastard to the rescue
A corporate Lawyer slithers in and whispers to George....
Lawyer: "You can't say that any more! You have to say 'Happy Holidays' so we don't offend non-Christians!"
George is Outraged, starts screaming at the lawyer
George: "Whattaya mean we can't say Goddamn Merry Christmas anymore? What country do ya think we're in???"
Donald Bastard bites the lawyer on the butt and tears off a piece of fabric.
The cigar chomping sponsor spits out a chunk of cigar and comes between George and the lawyer. He calms them down and suggests a compromise.
Sponsor: "Tell you what, as long as you cover everyone's holidays you can say Merry Christmas."
We pan down the group of characters as each one wishes a happy holiday to a different ethnic group.
Sody: Merry Kwanza!
Donald Bastard: Happy Cinco De Mayo!
Ernie: Jolly Bullies week!
Jimmy : Hug a retard!
Slab: Joyous Suicide Bombers!
The lawyer: Happy Devil Worshippers, folks!
we fade out on ridiculous greetings as we pan up and over to the Pontiac Vibe gleaming with holiday spirit.

An uneventful regular meeting of the Ramsey County Commission was interrupted Tuesday as the public was asked to leave and the commission went into an executive session to discuss details of threatened or pending litigation.
An uneventful regular meeting of the Ramsey County Commission was interrupted Tuesday as the public was asked to leave and the commission went into an executive session to discuss details of threatened or pending litigation.
When the meeting was called back into session a motion was made, seconded and passed to make a counter offer to settle the dispute.
No further information is available on this matter at the present time.
Other business conducted at the meeting included a discussion about the unwanted mobile home in the town of Edmore. Mark Shipley offered to take a look at it to see if he was interested in it.
Emergency Manager Kristen Nelsen reported on efforts to obtain specs for a new surveillance system for the courthouse. The issue was tabled by the commission until they hear from the architectural firm they'd asked to outline the county's needs.
Nels Halgren from rural water helped the county understand about fee increases that rural residents may see in the future and cleared up some rumors the commission had heard about their rates doubling. He assured the commission that the only increases he could foresee may be an increase in water usage rates not an increase in the base rates, and that would not be a significant increase.
"We're the lowest in the state," Halgren said pointing out that water rates may have to go up but that base rates most assuredly would not rise.
He also reported that they would be in their new building by the end of the year and the former building will be turned over to the county at that time.
County Auditor Elizabeth Fischer talked about the election needs for the coming year and asked for an increase in the hourly wage paid to election workers. "It's getting more and more difficult to find people to work the entire 14-hour day," she explained. The commissioners voted to keep the precincts the same and to increase the hourly wage to $12 an hour.
"If anyone is interested in being an election worker, please contact the Ramsey County Auditor's office. We need more workers in the year ahead, 2014 is an election year," Fischer said.
Road Superintendent Kevin Fieldsend reminded the commission that it is time to review the county's 5-year road plan. That was tabled until January.
He also discussed Ramsey County No. 10, the truck weight training happening Thursday, and a pre-job meeting planned with the state DOT.
Mertens asked him about snow removal in Lakewood as he'd received calls regarding a berm being left that four-wheel drive vehicles could not get over. Fieldsend explained it was a driveway and the property owner's responsibility to take care of.
The commission voted three to two to install wireless Internet in the courthouse, with commissioners Mark Olson and Scott Diseth voting against it.
They approved Sunday beer licenses, dealt with board appointments, added a couple of items to the next meeting's agenda, moved the IT department to the same commissioner's portfolio who has the tax director and approved a letter of support for the Airport and Skywest Airlines.
Commissioner Bill Mertens reported he had attended a state water board meeting recently where the governor assured those in attendance that the Devils Lake outlets would continue to pump and the Sheyenne River would remain full, water would continue to flow.
The commission briefly discussed the county setting up policy that would deal with drain tile permits. That will be put on the agenda and discussed further at a future meeting.
He and Commissioner Myrna Heisler volunteered to be part of the Devils Lake Executive Meeting that will take place via telephone in January.

Cameron vows fight to keep Clacton
David Cameron has promised an all-out by-election fight against Ukip after one of his MPs dramatically defected to the Eurosceptic party.
The Prime Minister said the decision by Douglas Carswell was "deeply regrettable and counterproductive", arguing that only a Tory government could deliver an in-out referendum on British membership.
The response came after Mr Carswell delivered his bombshell at a hastily arranged press conference, accusing Mr Cameron of being "insincere" and not "serious about real change".

He said he was resigning from the Commons immediately to trigger a contest in his Clacton constituency - where only his personal following is thought to have been holding back the Ukip vote.
A host of Eurosceptic MPs have been deployed to back the party leadership and pour cold water on the possibility of other prominent defections to Nigel Farage's party.
But the jubilant Ukip leader hailed Mr Carswell's decision as the "bravest, most honourable and noblest" he had witnessed in British politics, describing him as a "perfect fit".
Mr Cameron, in Scotland to deliver a speech, told the BBC that Mr Carswell's action was "self-defeating".
"It is obviously deeply regrettable when these things happen and people behave in this way. But it is also, in my view, counter-productive," he said.
"If you want a referendum on Britain's future in the EU, whether we should stay or go, the only way to to get that is to have a Conservative government after the next election.
"That is what until very recently Douglas Carswell himself was saying."
He added: "Obviously I'll want to make sure (that there is) a very strong Conservative campaign in that seat, so they can be properly represented in this Government, and hopefully the next."
Mr Carswell beat the Labour incumbent by just 920 votes to become MP for Harwich in 2005, but won the seat with a 12,000 majority in 2010 - although boundary changes had seen it renamed Clacton.
Ukip performed well in the area in recent local and European elections, and experts believe it will be a big challenge for the Tories to hold on.
However, there is a potential obstacle in the form of Roger Lord - who has already been selected as the Ukip general election candidate for Clacton - and is signalling that he is not willing to stand aside in favour of his erstwhile opponent.
Setting out a litany of criticism of Mr Cameron this morning, Mr Carswell said he did not believe the EU policy was "sincere", saying the leadership wanted to secure "just enough" to pretend change was happening.
"No-one cheered David Cameron's Bloomberg speech more loudly than me ... but there's been nothing since. They haven't thought it through.
"There is a world of change and opportunity out there ... ministers are simply not up to giving us the kind of realignment we need."
Mr Carswell said it would have been easier for him to "muddle along" as a Tory backbencher until next May, but he wanted to do the "honourable" thing.
"As someone who's always answered directly to the independent-minded people of Essex, there is only one honourable thing for me to do," he said.
"I must seek permission from my boss, the people of Clacton. I will now resign from Parliament and stand for Ukip in the by-election that now follows."
Mr Farage said: "I don't think it is any great secret there are now a number of MPs sitting on the Conservative benches, and indeed some now sitting on the Labour benches, who hold Ukip's views very strongly.
"It was only a matter of time before one of them had the courage to come across, at least that is what I thought a couple of years ago.
"I have to say I had begun to wonder whether it would happen, but it has happened.
"And it hasn't just happened in terms of the defection, but I think what makes this all the more dramatic is the fact that Douglas Carswell is prepared to test this with his constituency."
Tory backbencher Zac Goldsmith, who has worked closely with Mr Carswell to demand measures so voters can recall MPs, said the defection should be a "wake-up call" and the move was avoidable.
He said Mr Carswell was a "model Parliamentarian", adding: "I have nothing but admiration for him."
Senior backbencher Bernard Jenkin, whose seat neighbours that of Mr Carswell, told BBC Radio 4's World At One that the defection had come as a "bolt from the blue".
"Douglas will regret making this move because the more Tory voters defect to Ukip, the more likely it becomes that Ed Miliband becomes prime minister," he said.
Fellow Eurosceptics Mark Pritchard and Bill Cash also indicated that they disagreed with the action, while Clacton Conservative Association chairman Simon Martin-Redman said: "We are disappointed and surprised that Douglas Carswell has chosen to stand down. I am a deep-seated Conservative and so are my management team.
"We feel let down and believe it's a regrettable and counter-productive decision since, as he himself has said, the only way to get a referendum on the EU is to return a majority Conservative government.
"We are determined to keep this constituency Conservative."
It is thought the earliest a by-election could happen is October 2 - the day after Mr Cameron is due to deliver his keynote speech to the Conservative Party conference.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said: "Douglas Carswell's defection is not just a blow to David Cameron. It shows the Tory Party is too divided to stand up for hard-working families."
Ukip's only representation in the Commons to date came when Castle Point MP Bob Spink defected from the Conservatives in 2008, although he subsequently stood unsuccessfully as an independent at the 2010 general election.
In May, Mr Carswell attended a seminar hosted by academic Matthew Goodwin, and was told that Clacton is the seat with the population most likely to be receptive to Ukip. According to the assessment, that is because it has a higher proportion of old, poor and white voters who have no academic qualifications.
Previously experts believed a Ukip victory was "almost impossible" because of Mr Carswell's majority and appeal to Eurosceptic voters.
But Mr Goodwin told the BBC: "He will not struggle at all to win an election under the Ukip banner.
"It's classic, left-behind territory for Ukip.
"Douglas Carswell has spent years cultivating an image for himself as being away from the Westminster elite."
A Ukip spokeswoman said: "Roger Lord has never been the by-election candidate for Clacton.
"By-election rules determine that the party is entitled to start with a clean slate of nominations for Prospective Parliamentary Candidates, with the final elected candidate being decided by the National Executive Committee.
"There will not be a hustings in these circumstances as the immediacy of selection that a by-election warrants permits, in accordance with the party's constitution and sensible procedure, for the National Executive Committee to overrule and finitely determine who should represent the party for the campaign.
"Roger Lord is a committed member of Ukip and we appreciate his contribution to the development of the party locally and hope that he understands the decision of the NEC to support Douglas Carswell in the defence of his seat, as a Ukip candidate. "
Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg said he felt Mr Carswell had made a mistake - insisting his friend had won most of his arguments inside the Tory party.
He told the BBC Radio 4 PM programme: "I think Douglas has made a mistake, partly because of what he achieved in the Conservative Party. Douglas is an articulate and intelligent eurosceptic, one of the first MPs to call for us to quit the European Union and the party was moving inexorably towards his position.
"I rather feel he has left at the point he was winning the battle for ideas inside the Conservative Party.
"Ultimately I think this single resignation won't many any difference. If there would be more, it would be very important but as a one-off, in three months time people will have broadly forgotten."
Tory MP Michael Fabricant told PM: "It doesn't encourage me (to defect) ... although I have some similar views to Ukip in Europe, that has to be the truth of the matter, but I have very different views from Ukip on so many other matters.
"I doubt (others will follow) but I was surprised by Douglas Carswell."
Prominent eurosceptic Tory MP Bill Cash said he disagreed with Mr Carswell's move, despite voting with him on most issues.
He told Channel 4 News: "The best way to guarantee we don't have a referendum is to have a Labour or a Lib Dem coalition. That would mean we didn't have a referendum.
"Those who vote for Ukip ... mean the Conservative Party would be destroyed by defectors to Ukip preventing us from winning the marginal seats.
"Every constituency has to be taken on its own merits. There are particular issues in the Clacton context which will come out in that election. I'm by no means convinced Douglas Carswell will win there.
"I really do think Ukip, under first past the post, have a real struggle on their hands to get even one seat, let alone two or three - but even if they do, it doesn't amount to a majority in the House of Commons. In order to have a referendum Act, you have to have a majority of MPs voting for it."

Invoice Factoring: Helping Temp Staffing Agencies Grow
When a temp agency is experiencing a cash flow problem, they generally have two options: the first option is to apply to a bank or other lender for a business loan, and the second is to use Invoice Factoring. In this article we'll take a look at why Invoice Factoring may be the best option.
Many companies who bill their clients have discovered that Invoice Factoring is a very effective way of addressing cash flow issues, and this is also true for temp staffing agencies. Typically, temp agencies don't get paid by their clients until such time as their job vacancy has been filled and the employee hired has actually commenced work, which means that it's very common for temp agencies to experience cash flow problems.
Any advertising required to successfully place job candidates is paid for by the temp staffing agency, meaning that they're not able to invoice their client until they've found a suitable candidate and the candidate has actually started work. So, the temp staffing agency must wait to get paid.
Why Invoice Factoring Works Well for Temp Staffing Agencies
Temp staffing agencies are typically paid per hour, with the amount due being based on the number of hours their placement has worked. Of course, during this time they still have to pay their own bills, and these might include rent, payroll, advertising costs, utilities, and so on. So, it's easy to see that this can put a big strain on a temp agency's cash flow.
Many expenses incurred by a temp staffing agency can't be put off, so the agency must be able to access cash straight away: their employees need to be paid on time, as do their rent and utility bills. All businesses require office supplies, so money must be available to keep the business running smoothly. In addition, temp agencies must have money on hand for advertising job openings. For all of these reasons, it's not either feasible or practical for a temp staffing agency to apply for a business loan, then sit, wait, and hope to be approved.
These businesses need money and they need it now; and that's why Invoice Factoring may be the perfect solution to their cash flow problem.
Explaining Invoice Factoring
When a business makes the decision to use Invoice Factoring in order to generate cash, their cash-flow problem can be resolved almost immediately. In many cases, the business can secure up to 92% of the value of their invoice within 24 hours! A word of caution though: if this is the first time the temp agency has worked with a factor it could take longer - somewhere between four and seven days.
Any temp staffing agency that's experiencing a cash flow crisis, or even agencies that only occasionally experience cash flow problems, should do as much research as they can to learn about factoring and how it might help their business grow. With this knowledge they can then consider Invoice Factoring as and when the need arises. Factoring really is the perfect way for a business to access cash money when it's most needed. In many cases, once a relationship has been established with the factor, the money will be delivered within 24 hours.
Cash When You Need It!
Of course one of the major bonuses of invoice factoring is that temp staffing agencies no longer need to worry about whether they will or won't qualify for a bank loan, because factoring will take care of their cash flow crisis. All they need to do is provide their chosen factor with the invoices they wish to sell, complete with the time-sheets for each employee, and the cash that's due and payable to them can be deposited into their bank account within 24 hours. Now, temp agencies will have no problems meeting their monthly obligations, and best of all, there'll be no need to take on new debt.

A blog post worth a thousand words
By Jon Pratt
Aside from the occasional trip to the local pub, riding bikes and taking photographs is how I spend most of my free time. To capture those on-the-bike memories, I've tended to look for point and shoot cameras that capture as close to a digital SLR-quality photo as possible. Though DSLRs produce considerably better photos than point and shoot cameras, I find them unusable in most riding scenarios. Thankfully there are some incredibly good small pocketable cameras.
The best I've found are in the Panasonic Lumix DMC and the Canon S lines. While all cameras have their drawbacks, each of these gave me the ability to shoot RAW with full manual control and produced incredible images.
So what do I shoot with now you ask? A Nikon AW100. Nikon's all weather, jpeg only, full auto, GPS enabled, smack it off a rock, drop in a lake, toss it into a mud wrestling match point and shoot offering. All of these images were made with this camera.
Why? If I showed you my credit card bill over the last few years you'd understand. Every six months or so there is a $400+ charge for a new camera. It turns out I'm pretty hard on my gear. There have been times where I've had a camera for a little over a month before it became the unwilling victim of a downhill mountain bike crash or of an unscheduled swim in a pocket full of mud and grime.
Nikon's AW100, so far, has taken some serious abuse and captured some great memories. The photographs aren't going to end up on the cover of Dirt Rag or Bicycle Times, but they are surprisingly good in most cases. And, I've got a couple of extra dollars left over for that after-the-ride IPA.

Invitation to Improvise
I was fortunate enough to meet the lovely Alissa Haight Carlton at Quilt Market only weeks ago, and the feeling you get from her is just the feeling that I get from her new book, Block Party, which was written together with Kristen Lejnieks. And that feeling is one of approachability and warmth. After talking to her for a only a bit, I wanted to sit next to her and sew. The book, after reading a few pages, makes you feel just the same way. You just feel invited. Not in the fancy invitation that comes in the mail and requires a new dress kind of invitation, but a hey, come over here and join us kind of invitation. The best kind.
The book covers 12 women who formed a modern quilting bee so that each would contribute a block to one person's quilt concept each month. All the blocks would be sent to that one person, and she would get to assemble the quilt and keep it. By the end of the year all twelve of them had done the same, each keeping a piece of history and the work of 12 minds, 24 hands. I love thinking of how every block in every quilt was created during a completely separate set of circumstances within each quilter's life. And that they each, doubtlessly, struggled more with one block than another, experienced successes and emotions that they wouldn't have otherwise had. Some days I imagine that making the block was the most peaceful part of their day- I'm sure other days, they forgot to get to it all together, and stressed a bit to finish it. Each one different. Each one a record of time. Each one perfecting a skill they already possessed or pushing them into a new one. And all together the quilt then, an expression of many. I do believe that is the heart and soul of quilting.
I took note of my dear friend Denyse's introduction to the book, most specifically where she writes that "the best way to learn something (to understand it viscerally and not just intellectually) is to make it happen with your own hands." That, in addition to all the wonderful inspiration, and perfectly clear instructions is what had me chopping up my Liberty stack faster than you can say bee (which doesn't take long at all). I was so inspired by the Confetti quilt because it felt most different from what I typically do. More improvisational. I see a lot of quilts. Lots and lots. And the moment I see them I either get it and move on, or I get it and I want to try it. Or better still, I get it, want to try, and even meditate for a while on how I might interpret it to see it anew. So here I am, improvising within the boundaries of this lovely Confetti block. Instead of using all white for the solid background, I decided to show off all the irregular strip widths by using 3 solids from my voiles (sixpence, midnight, river rock). And because I can't leave well enough alone, in addition to the 3 background solids, I decided to interject one of my own prints. The good for me thing, in addition to it being a scrap + solid style block, is that its perfect for special fabrics that you'd like to use a bit sparingly.
So after only messing around for about an hour or so this morning, I am finding myself entirely charmed with this process, remembering how much I love to wing it, and loving how this one little block is a microcosm of the quilt it will become. And even each component of the block, its own abstract composition- beautiful and unique. I've decided that I need a little tiny bit of this freedom on a regular basis, so I think I'll do one every Saturday morning. We'll see how that goes. I'm glad to have the company of these talented women every time I open this book.

This was one of the more insightful looks into a book that I've seen! I wasn't sure I needed this book on my sewing shelves, especially since I'm not much of an improv quilter myself. After reading your experience with this book and your interactions with the authors, I am more compelled now to get this book and actually try some of the projects. Thanks for that push I needed! (love seeing the spin you'r putting on a project, btw)ReplyDelete

Improvisational quilting is something I have recently had the joy of trying too- wow, what liberating fun! I can't believe how much stress is taken away from quilting when you purposefully don't try matching seems or making things perfect- I have realized that I love both traditional and modern quilting and will make room for both in my little world as long as I am having fun. I sure would love to win this book!ReplyDelete

One of my favorite quotes is by Geri Weitzman: sometimes you gotta creat what you want to be a part of.ReplyDelete
That's what I did last summer. I wanted to be a part of a quilting bee, so I started my own, Bee Vintage, on flickr. A year later, I'm flying across the country to visit one of my bee friends! (See you Tuesday, Linda!)
I can't wait to get this book! Be it winning it or purchasing it, it looks fabulous!ReplyDelete

This book sounds really intriguing! I love the idea of sharing blocks with friends.ReplyDelete
Yay! I would love to win!ReplyDelete
oh my goodness, i'd love a chance to win this fabulous book!ReplyDelete
I could not agree more with the sentiment that doing is learning... Or vice versa. Though I so rarely give myself the permission to play, and possibly, fail.ReplyDelete
oh .... thanks for such an awesome giveaway ... it would be well treasured & used aplenty! blessingsReplyDelete
Love your block!ReplyDelete
I just started getting into quilting and would love to win it :)ReplyDelete
What a wonderful idea, I want to start my own bee! Thanks for the chance!ReplyDelete

A while back, a bunch of us from a quilt guild took a color and design for quilting class from a local instructor. We decided to reward her with a quilt of "crazy" pieced apple blocks, a block made by each of us. The effect was gorgeous with red, green and yellow apples and she was so thrilled!ReplyDelete
Pick me! Pick me!ReplyDelete
I have this book on my wish list but the bills have to come first.... I go to the bookstore occasionally and fondle it, but always put it back. It's a luxury. BTW I can't get enough of the Summer Totem Tart fabric. It's really beautiful and my friend gave me a yard of it as a happy day present!ReplyDelete
Hey, way to improvise! Yes, Yes, Yes, I really want a copy of this book! (please) It's tough to bust out of accurate piecing, points that don't disappear and seams that match, but I'm willing to through caution to the wind and try.ReplyDelete

The relationship between art, religion and commerce hardly gets closer than in the church of Orsanmichele. Upon a site that had, since the VIII century, hosted the Oratory of San Michele in Orto, in 1290 Arnolfo di Cambio built a loggia to serve as the grain market. It burned in 1304.
In 1337 Francesco Talenti, Neri di Fioravante and Benci di Cione began the present structure, which was supposed to be a larger grain market. In 1380 the two upper floors were added to store grain for emergencies, and Simone Talenti closed the arcades of the ground floor to transform it into a church.
The building is square in plan, and there are still, on the ground floor, the 13th century arches that formed the loggia. On the exterior of the chapel marble tabernacles were built to host statues of the patron saints of the Guilds, who commissioned the greatest artists of the period.
Thus we find Verrocchio's Saint John the Baptist and Doubting Thomas, Giambologna's Saint Luke, Donatello's bas-relief of Saint George freeing the King's Daughter, and a Madonna with Child by Luca della Robbia. Inside, to the right, is the tabernacle Andrea Orcagna's painstakingly built and decorated between 1355 and 1359.
For any information:
Chiesa di Orsanmichele
Via dei Calzaioli (055 284944).
Open 9am-noon, 4-6pm, daily from Nov 2005.
Admission: free.

How To Become A Registered Nurse in Illinois
In order to qualify for Nursing jobs in Illinois, you should compare all available technical schools in your target area, as well as consider taking some of your courses online. Check with each nursing school below for assistance with certificate program requirements, degree prerequisites, and class registration. You may request information from several different schools below, without making a commitment.
To prepare for Nursing careers in Illinois, you need to complete a technical education in your specialty area, as well as consider taking part of your required courses online. Which college degrees give you the best chances of finding employment after graduation? The field of engineering requires either an associates degree for entry-level technical workers, or a bachelors degree for professional engineers. Check with the registered nurse rn department for course registration deadlines, and engineering program requirements.
Registered nurses (RN) provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members. Registered nurses' job duties often depend on where they work and the kind of patients they assist. For example, an oncology nurse may work with cancer patients or a geriatric nurse may work with elderly patients. Some registered nurses combine one or more areas of practice. For example, a pediatric oncology nurse works with children and teens who have cancer.
Most registered nurses begin as staff nurses in hospitals or community health settings. With experience, good performance, and continuous education, they can move to other settings or be promoted to positions with more responsibility. In management, nurses can advance to become a clinical nurse manager, charge nurse, or head nurse. Some nurses move into the business side of healthcare. Their nursing expertise and experience on a healthcare team equip them to manage ambulatory, acute, or chronic-care businesses. Employers may desire registered nurses for jobs in health planning and development, policy development, and quality assurance. Beyond major requirements within the registered nurse rn department, you may consider Westfield State University scientific research as a complementary elective.

"Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid people, it is true that most stupid people are conservative."
thank you 1. i will try this because its new to me and nothing else works.
I am an adult now, and instead of remaining a schizophrenic, I decided to face my fears(people) and cure myself(without taking medication.)
I would like to add one thing though. Schizophrenic does not mean violence. I have met people with moderate to high levels of schizophrenia and in all cases they were not violent but instead were victims of bullying and violence. But I think drug and alcohol abuse might make some schizophrenics violent. But drug and alcohols can and does make normal people violent. So in my opinion the blame for violence should be on drugs and alcohol and not schizophrenia itself.

Who's on first? Well, no one for the past six months. Thankfully, that drought ended Sunday night when the league-switching Houston Astros topped the Texas Rangers 8-2.
Who's on first? Well, no one for the past six months. Thankfully, that drought ended Sunday night when the league-switching Houston Astros topped the Texas Rangers 8-2.
This is a great time of year because, before any of the games are played, the Chicago Cubs are still in first place in their division. If 2013 is like almost every other year for the last 100, that won't last long.
I grew up loving the Cubs and Braves. Cable was pretty new and the two "super" stations carried almost all of their games.
As cable television and the contract with Major League Baseball has expanded, there is almost no game that you can't see if you have enough money and desire.
My love of baseball was kindled as a kid in Little League. It was almost doused during the same time by a "daddy coach" who took over our All-Star team. He decided to join in with some of the kids in trying to bully the fat kid. It didn't matter how many home runs I hit or kids I struck out. All that mattered was that I was heavier than the other kids. I hated him and he was my baseball coach so, for a few years, I hated baseball because of him.
Thankfully, some weird twists brought me back. My nephew's tee ball team didn't have a coach. One of the dads got suckered into being the head coach and when my brother-in-law was too busy with a new job to help out, I got a call asking me to help. I figured it was a great way to kill a summer between semesters at college.
I've had a very blessed life. But I'm not sure that I will ever top the 10 years I got to coach those kids.
Part of it was baseball. I love how every pitch is part of a plan. Baseball is equal parts strategy and skill. Smashing a home run isn't worth any more than the smallest player on the team executing a perfect sacrifice bunt to drive in a run.
I also love baseball because preparation shows up during key times in games. You know who wins the game when you go into the last inning tied 4-4? I'll put my money on the team who was practicing inside while there was still snow on the ground outside. The other thing I enjoyed about those years was learning to manage individuals. I think coaching a kids' baseball team made me a better manager in my career.
I learned quickly that everyone is not the same. If you treat them all the same, you will see some excel and some fall away. You can treat everyone differently while still being fair to all. We all respond to different stimuli and need different rewards. Some kids needed a pat on the back. Others needed a kick in the backside. The key was that they all wanted to succeed and they knew that each individual had to be successful in order for them to have success as a team.
Coaches have limited control over which batter comes up with two outs in a big situation. You can't just pass the ball to your best shooter or throw it to a favorite receiver.
If your 8-hole hitter comes up with two on and two out in the last inning, he better be able to deliver. We had some players who would crumble if you raised your voice to them. We had others who couldn't get in gear if you didn't challenge them.
One pitcher we had is a good example of both strategy and psychology. We were in the later rounds of a tournament. We had used up some pitchers and we were trying to save others for a potential shot at a championship.
We put a kid on the mound who should have been able to do just that. Instead, he gave up eight runs in two innings and left us in bad shape.
We pulled him out and put in a new pitcher who only had a few of innings of eligibility left. He did a great job and our bats came alive. With one inning to go, we were up 11-10 and needed someone to finish the game.
Who did we put in? We brought the same kid who had given up eight runs in the first two innings. He had the ability. He just didn't do it the first time. While he was getting loose, I could tell he was nervous. This kid needed a little fire in his belly to make his arm work. So when he threw his last warm-up pitch, I asked him from the bench if his arm hurt. He gave me a confused look and said, "No."
"Then throw the ball!" I yelled at him.
He got angry at me and went on to shut down the next three hitters and close out the game. Afterward, he came up to me with a smile and said, "I know what you were trying to do. You tried to make me mad."
"It worked," I said with a laugh. Everyone is different. Teams only succeed when everyone contributes. And when someone screws up, sometimes you have to give them a second chance.

Captain's ReportBy Capt. Ron SvobodaSummer Dreamin' Aboard the Wakesetter Series By Capt. Ron SvobodaOn an Indian summer day in California, we recently had the opportunity to test one of the hottest wake sport tow rigs in the country. Malibu's Wakesetter is the choice of professional wake athletes and the pull boat at many of the venues that these riders compete in. So what's all the hype? For starters, Malibu focuses on producing boats that are designed specifically for the sport. They do not compromise when it comes to the pursuit of fabricating the best wakes to launch riders off of. In addition, Malibu will let you customize this boat with exactly what you need, whether you're on a budget or not.One boat, Two Tough DecisionsTwo main versions of the Wakesetter are available; the VLX and the XTi. The VLX is a V-drive layout with engine and transmission at the stern of the boat. The goal here is to maximize the space of the cockpit and shift the weight balance of the boat to the rear. On the other hand the XTi has her motor about midships, balancing the weight to center and maximizing seating potential. Both models come standard with Malibu's "illusion X" tower and a plethora of cool options.The XTi's center mounted engine makes for better handling and an aft seating zone that features a removable table and wraparound seating for up to four adults. There is also a rear stereo entertainment console and a built in beverage cooler, delivering full control of your music and refreshments without having to get up. The centerline engine also affords a deep storage compartment to starboard, making it the ideal place for big or bulky items. In contrast, the cockpit of the VLX offers an open layout with long and spacious U-shaped seating with concealed storage compartments under the cushions. A baker's dozen of drink holders and numerous stereo speakers keep everyone happy on board. At the transom, a full width sun pad tops the engine box and supplies added storage below. The VLX also happens to be the choice of title holders and the official, world wakeboard championship tow rig. Wake Shaping ExpertBoth versions are a nimble 21 feet 6 inches overall and 8 feet, 2 inches wide and comes with a spacious bow area up front for tanning and lounging. Here you'll also find contoured grab handles, four drinkholders and a pair of stereo speakers. The boats are based on the V25 wake hull, and can be combined with the Launch System (front, center and aft ballast tanks) and Power Wedge mechanism that will changes the wake size and shape at the push of a button.The helms on both boats are also the same, with innovative digital accessory power switches and a shift-by-wire throttle. Best of all, Malibu's Ballast Monitoring System and Precision Pro Speed Control gives the driver ultimate control of all the ballast on board and exact speed settings. The unique feature here is that personalized settings for speed and ballast can be stored in the systems' memory, guaranteeing that every pass is maximized and tailored to each boarder. Another great feature is the removable engine tray located above the motors that lets you store wet ski vests in them and warm them up between runs.So if you're pondering the purchase of a new wake maker or preparing for your next championship title the Wakesetter by Malibu will take your shredding to a whole new level.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Malibu Wakesetter 23 XTi is 44.5 mph (71.6 kph), burning 29.9 gallons per hour (gph) or 113.17 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Malibu Wakesetter 23 XTi is 28.3 mph (45.5 kph), and the boat gets 4.02 miles per gallon (mpg) or 1.71 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 170 miles (273.59 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 400-hp Indmar 383 Hammerhead.

There are four various sorts of life insurance policy. Each with a various rate range. Right here's a quick summary of each starting with one of the most pricey and also finishing with the least pricey.

Whole life insurance policy is the following most costly. It as well has an affixed interest disallowing account. You do not obtain rather as much versatility with your premiums as well as financial savings as you do with Universal life. Still, both are referred to as 'long-term' life insurance policy.

If $2000 is exactly what your family would call for regular monthly to live well, you would have to discover a financial investment plan that is extremely low risk and with a minimum return on investment. When you have found the secure investment plan and the least possible roi then you are set. Let us think the return on investment is 10% yearly, you would certainly compute your family members' annual demands which would amount to $24,000.

That has to do with it.

Where is the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons)? It should be protecting retired people from the government dipping into Social Security again.
Perhaps the organization's name should be changed if it is unable to do that.
The Associated Press regularly reports that Social Security is part of the government's deficit.
In my opinion, Social Security is not part of the government's deficit. Social Security is funded by the workers and their employers.
Social Security had a $17 billion surplus around 1987, but politicians weren't able to keep their fingers out of the cookie jar.
When an assistant of the late U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter took money from his retirement fund, she had to serve prison time.
My retirement fund is just as sacred.
Does anyone else think that the politicians who mess with our retirement fund should have to serve prison time also?

Chair Bamboo Stick Set
Learn a new, unique and easy way to deliver seated chair massage. By using these bamboo tools, you will be able to market new services while offering an effective treatment that does not feel like you're using tools. Sticks glide easily over all fabrics and can be chilled for spot treatments or used at room temperature.
Set Includes: 8 piece stick set, 2 tapotement wraps, and carry bag. 60 day warranty.
Dimensions of the high quality bamboo tools:
4 Halves cut: 6" long and 1.5" wide
1 Master piece: 16"long and 1.5" wide
1 Mini master: 6" long and 1.5" wide
2 Tapotements sticks: 16" long and 0.5" wild with face cloth wrapped.
The varnish is meant to be slick so as to slide over the client's clothes, which they do great! These tools are not meant to be heated, as the varnish will come off.
As long as you understand that you will ruin the tools if you heat them, it's a great product. Well worth having as it makes chair massage much more pleasurable to do!
I wast not a big fan of chair massage until I started using the bamboo tools. Easy to use, easy to clean and you can even warm them up in a heating pad if you have the possibility of electricity. Great investment !
Just received my new chair set and the quality is great just like the table set. It saved my hands at more than one event! My new clients love it.
The chair Bamboo-Fusion set seems to be made of much cheaper materials than the table set and with less care. You cannot warm these or the coating comes off, I think it does mention this somewhere on the site. The tools are bulky and uneven, not worth the money at all. I do love the table set though!

March 12, 1999
Mr. Thomas W. McElvain
The University of Michigan
1524 L.S. & A. Building
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109
Dear Mr. McElvain:
This is in response to your January 25, 1999, letter to this Office regarding the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). You attached a copy of a letter that The University of Michigan (University) received from the Canadian International Tax Directorate in Ottawa asking for certain information from student education records. Specifically, the Tax Directorate seeks a complete list of Canadian students who have attended the University over the past 10 years including the name, address, Canadian social security number (if available), and years of attendance. You ask whether the University can provide the requested information.
FERPA generally protects a student's privacy interests with regard to "education records." "Education records" are records which contain information directly related to a student and which are maintained by an educational agency or institution or by a party acting for such agency or institution. FERPA generally prohibits the nonconsensual disclosure of education records, or personally identifiable information from education records, except in certain specified circumstances, such as when the educational agency or institution has appropriately designated the information to be disclosed as "directory information." 34 CFS § 99.31(a)(11). A school may disclose directory information if it has given public notice of the types of information which it has designated as "directory information," the students right to restrict the disclosure of such information, and the period of time within which a student has to notify the school in writing that he or she does not want any or all of those types of information designated as "directory information." 34 CFR § 99.37(a).
FERPA defines "directory information" as information contained in an education record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. 34 CFR § 99.3 "Directory information." Directory information could include information such as name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, participation in officially recognized activities and sports, and dates of attendance.
We have recently received inquiries from various postsecondary institutions on this issue. We have determined that "directory information" under FERPA may be disclosed to the Canadian government in order to meet their request. Of course, this information may not include social security numbers because this type of information may not be designated as "directory information." While a country of origin cannot be designated as directory information, it is usually implied in the home address of the student. Therefore, if the University wishes to disclose a student's name and (Canadian home) address to the Canadian government, FERPA would permit the disclosure, as long as the University has followed the procedures outlined in § 99.37 of the FERPA regulations regarding the designation of such information as directory information. Furthermore, as indicated in FERPA's definition of directory information, the University can designate dates of attendance, major field of study, and degree received as directory information. Enclosed for your review is a copy of the FERPA regulations.
I trust that the above information is helpful to you. Should you have additional questions regarding this matter or FERPA in general, please do not hesitate to contact this Office again.
