Just finished the first book of the trilogy this week and am about a quarter of the way through the second.
These books are crazy popular, especially now that the first movie is coming out, so I have to believe that someone else in TORC land has read them (although I looked back at least 4 pages and couldn't find a thread about them ).
Any thoughts?
One book in and I'm thoroughly depressed, yet completely riveted. The story is incredibly gripping. I think I yelled at the book at some point during each chapter.
Excited to see where the story is headed though!

Su-Jin (Son Yae Jin) and Chol-Su (Jung Woo Sung) meet under seemingly average, normal circumstances. Su-Jin is exiting an affair with a married man, and Chol-Su is working for Su-Jin?s father as a carpenter, and when they finally meet it's as if it was meant to be. Their love is affectionate and their marriage as close to perfect as can be...but is fate truly that kind? Su-Jin surprisingly contracts Alzheimer?s disease, and the tragic struggle they face both threatens and strengthens their love. But for how long? As Su-Jin?s memory begins to leaves her, the disease they face may turn out to be too much for even a love as strong as theirs? A Moment to Remember is the latest representative of Korea?s stunningly popular tragic drama genre, and features two of the region's brightest stars. Son Yae Jin shines as the tragically afflicted Su-Jin, and Jung Woo Sung brings photogenic cool to the role of the supportive and loving Chol-su. This 2-DVD set of A Moment to Remember comes with various extras, including filmmaker commentary, and a Director?s Cut that restores nearly 30 minutes of extra footage! My Thoughts I watched it last week and although the story starts like most Korean romantic movies (goofy, cute), the movie quickly progresses towards the tear-jerker side. It's one of the most emotional movies I've seen in recent months because it makes you really think about what if the tragedy happened to you? Many of my co-workers called and thanked me for sharing it with them. One of them cried for over an hour at midnight and again on her way to work. Yup, very touching story.

Everyone wants to believe they graduated from one of the country's top schools. But since U.S. News & World Report started compiling and publishing its Best Colleges list in 1983, the bubble has burst for many of us. Your school was either on the list, or it wasn't one of the best.
Well, maybe and maybe not. "The ratings tend to trail reality," David Cole, chairman emeritus of the Center for Automotive Research and a current advisory board member of the University of Michigan's mechanical engineering program, said in a Design News interview. "The past is really the criteria for school ratings."
That seems to be the case in U.S. News & World Report's latest undergraduate engineering program ratings, which were released Tuesday. The 2012 edition names MIT, Stanford, the University of California-Berkeley, and Cal Tech as the top four schools whose highest degree is a doctorate. Among schools whose highest degree is a bachelor's or master's, U.S. News placed Rose-Hulman, Harvey Mudd, the U.S. Military Academy, and Cooper Union in the top four.
All eight of those schools grabbed the same positions last year. "The rankings are pretty stable, whether you're talking about graduate or undergraduate levels," Robert Morse, director of data research for U.S. News, said in a Design News interview.
But those results -- which are based exclusively on peer assessment -- may be more a matter of past reputations than current realities. "I would be amazed if I saw a report where MIT wasn't No. 1," Cole told us. "One of the reasons is that MIT graduates a significant fraction of the engineering faculty across the country."
Cole argues that tradition shouldn't be the only criteria. In the last five to 10 years, engineering curricula have shifted from theory-heavy coursework to a mixture of theory and hands-on experience, he says. In the University of Michigan's mechanical engineering program, for example, students take three team-based design classes and complete a capstone project that requires them to design and build a product while working with industry sponsors.
"It's great to deal with theory, but you've got to get your hands dirty at some point if you're going to be a good engineer," Cole said.
We've written about this trend previously, describing the hands-on design efforts at such schools as Rose-Hulman, Harvey Mudd, and Olin College of Engineering. Students at those schools reportedly feel more engaged and are less likely to wash out of engineering.
Cole says the shift toward hands-on experience will shake up the ratings eventually. As a result, polls such as those by U.S. News could see some unfamiliar faces near the top one day. "Some of the people who vote on this may not appreciate this trend, because it's different than the world they were calibrated by. But it's a very positive sign in general. We'll see this get reflected in the ratings in a few years."

nagger 100000MRSJ Comment (1) Visits (20026)
Cut from that AIX wiki page for the project here (all Copyrights acknowledged - I hope you don't mind as this is a advert for your hard work) are two sample graphs.
One day on a POWER p590 64 CPUs (I removed the table showing the Virtual Server (LPAR) names):
You can see the dedicated LPARs as solid consistent strips - which probably means lots of wasted CPU cycles! - the Shared CPU LPARs are dynamically taking what they really need.
And below is an interesting yearly graph:
Not sure but perhaps we can see here workload being adopted and added to the machine over the year.

Glenholme Grizzlies Take to the Court
Saturday, January 14, 2012
By: Devereux Glenholme
Washington, CT
Washington, CT - The Glenholme Grizzlies faced the athletic powerhouse, the Rumsey Blue Dogs, in their basketball season opener on Thursday, January 12, 2012. The first half of the game consisted of an incredible back and forth match-up between the teams, with strong defense and offense by both sides. As the clock ticked down the final minutes of the first half, the Grizzlies rallied together with a 6-0 run, tying the score at 19-19. In the second half, the Blue Dogs clamped down on their defense to hold off the Grizzlies' offensive effort. Although the Blue Dogs ultimately prevailed (29-46), the Grizzlies' effort and determination were not reflected in the final score. Each player demonstrated great maturity and made a solid contribution to the game. Going forward, the resilient Grizzlies will use this on-court learning experience to hone their playing skills and prepare for the rest of the season. The interscholastic sports program at The Glenholme School fosters health and wellness, while building school spirit, teamwork, and strong friendships. By actively participating in competitive sports, including basketball, tennis, softball, and soccer, Glenholme students learn the importance of hard work and become more confident in their own abilities. We look forward to the Grizzlies' match-ups against Grove and Maplebrook over the next two weeks as they prepare for a rematch against the Rumsey Blue Dogs on January 31st – marking the midpoint of the season. Go Grizzlies!Read about the varsity match-up with Grove, visit the school blog at www.glenholmeschool.com.The Glenholme School is a therapeutic boarding school for young people diagnosed with Asperger's, ADHD, PDD, OCD, Tourette's, depression, anxiety and variouslearning differences.

Obama and Trump both promised peace. They delivered war.
Key Excerpts from Article on Website of The Week
Obama and Trump both promised peace. They delivered war.
The Week, June 23, 2017
Posted: 2017-10-01 23:14:23
We have had two consecutive presidents - Barack Obama and Donald Trump - who have in their own way recognized the limits of American military power in achieving political outcomes across the globe, yet we have been at war the whole time they've been in office. They were preceded by a president who promised a "humble foreign policy," no nation-building, and military involvement only where the exits were clearly marked. But George W. Bush's abandonment of those campaign planks set the United States on a foreign-policy course that has clearly not worked as planned. Still, at least he was operating in the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, before all the unintended consequences of Iraq-style regime change were so blatantly known. Neither Obama nor Trump has that excuse. Obama largely owes his presidency to his 2002 speech opposing the invasion of Iraq and other "dumb wars." Trump won the 2016 South Carolina primary the day after denouncing the Iraq war in terms that got Ron Paul nearly tossed off the debate stage in the same state a decade ago. The foreign policy advice presidents receive is predominantly hawkish. So is the reinforcement they get from the Washington establishment. Things happen all over the world that seem to cry out for some kind of American response. But ... until some of this institutional bias in favor of intervention changes, we will keep voting for presidents who promise peace but deliver war.
Note: Read an excellent article showing how the power elite and their war machine corrupt world leaders. Powerful political and economic interests profit immensely from an endless war on terror. A top US general long ago exposed the corrupt roots of war in his penetrating book War is a Racket. For more along these lines, see concise summaries of deeply revealing war news articles from reliable major media sources.
Explore our index to revealing excerpts of key news articles on several dozen topics.
Don't miss amazing excerpts from the 20 most revealing news articles ever published.
Below is a sample of just three of those 20 articles.
U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War With Cuba
2001-05-01, ABC News
In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba. Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities. The plans were developed as ways to trick the American public and the international community into supporting a war to oust Cuba's ... Fidel Castro. America's top military brass even contemplated causing U.S. military casualties, writing: "We could blow up a U.S. ship in Guantanamo Bay and blame Cuba," and, "casualty lists in U.S. newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation." The plans had the written approval of all of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and were presented to President Kennedy's defense secretary, Robert McNamara, in March 1962. But they apparently were rejected by the civilian leadership and have gone undisclosed for nearly 40 years. The Joint Chiefs even proposed using the potential death of astronaut John Glenn during the first attempt to put an American into orbit as a false pretext for war with Cuba. Should the rocket explode and kill Glenn, they wrote, "the objective is to provide irrevocable proof … that the fault lies with the Communists." The scary thing is none of this stuff comes out until 40 years after.
Note: Why was ABC the only major news source to report on this highly revealing story? Read the shocking declassified documents on Operation Northwoods. Many military and political leaders look at the world as a grand chessboard. Sacrificing pawns (innocent civilians) is sometimes necessary to capture the queen.

Inside the secretive Bilderberg Group
2005-09-29, BBC News
How much influence do private networks of the rich and powerful have on government policies and international relations? One group, the Bilderberg, has often attracted speculation that it forms a shadowy global government. Every year since 1954 [they have brought] together about 120 leading business people and politicians. At this year's meeting in Germany, the audience included the heads of the World Bank and European Central Bank, Chairmen or Chief Executives from Nokia, BP, Unilever, DaimlerChrysler and Pepsi ... editors from five major newspapers, members of parliament, ministers, European commissioners ... and the queen of the Netherlands. The chairman ... is 73-year-old Viscount Etienne Davignon. In an extremely rare interview, he played down the importance of Bilderberg. "I don't think (we are) a global ruling class because I don't think a global ruling class exists." Will Hutton ... who attended a Bilderberg meeting in 1997, says people take part in these networks in order to influence the way the world works, to create what he calls "the international common sense". And that "common sense" is one which supports the interests of Bilderberg's main participants. For Bilderberg's critics the fact that there is almost no publicity about the annual meetings is proof that they are up to no good. Bilderberg meetings often feature future political leaders shortly before they become household names. Bill Clinton went in 1991 while still governor of Arkansas, Tony Blair was there two years later while still an opposition MP. All the recent presidents of the European Commission attended Bilderberg meetings before they were appointed. Informal and private networks like Bilderberg have helped to oil the wheels of global politics and globalisation for the past half a century.
Note: Why is this meeting of top world leaders kept so secret? Why, until a few years ago, was there virtually no reporting on this influential group in the major media? Thankfully, the alternative media has had some good articles. And a Google search can be highly informative. Explore many other revealing major media news articles on powerful secret societies. And for those interested, check out reliable, eye-opening information covering the big picture of how and why these secret societies are using government-sponsored mind control programs to achieve their agenda.
[9/11] Hijack 'suspects' alive and well
2001-09-23, BBC News
Another of the men named by the FBI as a hijacker in the [9/11] suicide attacks on Washington and New York has turned up alive and well. The identities of four of the 19 suspects accused of having carried out the attacks are now in doubt. Saudi Arabian pilot Waleed Al Shehri was one of five men that the FBI said had deliberately crashed American Airlines flight 11 into the World Trade Centre on 11 September. His photograph was released, and has since appeared in newspapers and on television around the world. He told journalists there that he had nothing to do with the attacks. He has contacted both the Saudi and American authorities. He acknowledges that he attended flight training school at Daytona Beach in the United States, and is indeed the same Waleed Al Shehri to whom the FBI has been referring. But, he says, he left the United States in September last year [and] became a pilot with Saudi Arabian airlines. Abdulaziz Al Omari, another of the Flight 11 hijack suspects ... says he is an engineer with Saudi Telecoms, and that he lost his passport while studying in Denver. Meanwhile ... a London-based Arabic daily says it has interviewed Saeed Alghamdi. He was listed by the FBI as a hijacker in the United flight that crashed in Pennsylvania. And there are suggestions that another suspect, Khalid Al Midhar, may also be alive. FBI Director Robert Mueller acknowledged on Thursday that the identity of several of the suicide hijackers is in doubt.
Note: The deceptions in the 9/11 official story are clearly shown in this key story. The FBI never revised its list of alleged hijackers. These four are all listed in the official 9/11 Commission report as the hijackers. Click here and scroll down a little over half way to see their photos in the official report.

Life, Death and Insulin
2019-01-07, Washington Post
The global insulin market is dominated by three companies: Eli Lilly, the French company Sanofi and the Danish firm Novo Nordisk. All three have raised list prices to similar levels. According to IBM Watson Health data, Sanofi's popular insulin brand Lantus was $35 a vial when it was introduced in 2001; it's now $270. Novo Nordisk's Novolog was priced at $40 in 2001, and as of July 2018, it's $289. The companies appear to have increased [prices] in lockstep over a number of years, prompting allegations of price fixing. All three companies denied these charges. (In 2010, Mexico fined Eli Lilly and three Mexican companies for price collusion on insulin, an allegation Eli Lilly also denied.) In the United States, a federal prosecutor and at least five state attorneys general are currently investigating the companies' pricing practices. There is also another, less known corporate entity in the mix: pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), which include Express Scripts, OptumRx and CVS Health; all are now named in lawsuits on high insulin prices. These corporate entities are powerful special interests. In 2017, the pharmaceutical and health product industry ... spent nearly $280 million on lobbying, the biggest spender by far of 20 top industries, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. The industry also has a revolving door to government. Alex Azar, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services, was the president of Eli Lilly's U.S. division until 2017.

More than 1,000 US polling sites closed since supreme court ruling
2019-09-11, The Guardian (One of the UK's leading newspapers)
Jurisdictions once monitored by the justice department for racially discriminatory voting practices have collectively closed more than 1,000 polling places since a watershed 2013 US supreme court ruling released the jurisdictions from oversight, according to a new watchdog report. In 757 counties and county equivalents that formerly had to pre-clear voting practice changes with Washington, 1,173 polling places disappeared between 2014 and 2018, a study by the Leadership Conference Education Fund, part of the nation's oldest and largest civil rights coalition, found. The closures could disproportionately disenfranchise voters of color, especially when combined with restrictive voter ID laws, gerrymandering and aggressive voter roll purges, the report warned. Last month, a separate study found that US election jurisdictions with histories of egregious voter discrimination have been purging voter rolls at a rate 40% beyond the national average. "Closing polling places has a cascading effect, leading to long lines at other polling places, transportation hurdles, denial of language assistance and other forms of in-person help, and mass confusion about where eligible voters may cast their ballot," the report said. "For many people, and particularly for voters of color, older voters, rural voters and voters with disabilities, these burdens make it harder – and sometimes impossible – to vote."

Jeffrey Epstein's lawyers highly 'skeptical' of suicide ruling, say he wasn't 'despairing, despondent' before death
2019-08-27, CNBC News
A defense lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein on Tuesday expressed deep skepticism that the wealthy financier died by hanging himself in a Manhattan federal jail while awaiting trial on child sex trafficking charges, as a medical examiner has ruled. The injuries suffered by Epstein are "far more consistent with assault" than suicide, the lawyer, Reid Weingarten, told Judge Richard Berman in U.S. District Court in Manhattan during a hearing. Weingarten cited the defense's own medical sources. Broken bones were found in Epstein's neck during an autopsy after he died Aug. 10. Such fractures are somewhat more common in cases of strangulation than in hanging. Weingarten told the judge that when he and other defense attorneys spoke to Epstein shortly before his death "we did not see a despairing, despondent, suicidal person." Weingarten's comments came during a proceeding where prosecutors were seeking the dismissal of child sex trafficking charges against the Epstein as a result of his death. More than 20 alleged victims of Epstein spoke or had statements read during the hearing. Weeks before his death, Epstein was found semiconscious in his cell in the Manhattan Correctional Center with marks on his neck. That incident led to him being placed on suicide watch, but he was taken off of that status about a week later. Weingarten also pointed out that "we've heard that" the surveillance video at the jail around Epstein's cell "were either corrupted or not functioning."

Only a couple of weeks away from spring, we've gotten restless, tired of checking the weather reports to discover whether traffic's stuck in Glorieta Pass. Newcomers to this area are often surprised that there's actually visibility, sun and clear roads after trudging along, following a million semis crawling on I-25. We've stayed home more than we're accustomed to, due to the weather, and we've acquired cabin fever.

On a recent Wednesday night, 20 men, most middle-aged and all African-American, sat facing a whiteboard with the words "honeymoon," "guilt," and "cheating" written on it.
"Why do you treat your mom different from your girlfriend?" a female instructor asked.
"It's respect," answered Russell White, who works two low-wage jobs to meet $150 a week in child-support payments.
"They should get the same amount of respect, shouldn't they?" the instructor challenged.
"They should," Mr. White nodded.
IN PICTURES: Scenes of fatherhood
This is a fatherhood class at the Center for Urban Families, a nonprofit in Baltimore. The center works with what its founder, Joseph Jones Jr., calls not deadbeat but "dead broke" dads, connecting them with services that help them become better fathers.
It has served 14,000 clients over 10 years, and it's now considered a national model for so-called "responsible fatherhood" programs – an area that the Obama administration has emphasized.
Indeed, the Obama administration's approach to welfare policy and family funds gives much attention to fatherhood-oriented programs like this one. But it hasn't been this way for long: The fatherhood emphasis may represent a shift from the Bush administration, which favored marriage programs. Supporters of marriage education are worried.
"The marriage-education movement is not against fatherhood programs, but we are against fatherhood programs being launched at the expense of marriage and relationship programs," says Chris Gersten, a former Bush administration official.
The apparent shift from a marriage to a fatherhood emphasis can be seen in the funding philosophies of the two administrations.
The Bush administration's family funding included dedicated line items in the budget – $100 million a year for marriage and $50 million annually for fatherhood. President Obama's new fund, which has yet to be approved by Congress, takes a different tack: It splits $500 million into two equal pieces that states deliver to local organizations. One piece is for "comprehensive responsible fatherhood programs – including those with a marriage component," and the other is to improve the lives of children by helping their parents get jobs.
To be sure, the Obama administration believes that marriage is important, says Jesse Moore, a spokesman for the Administration for Children and Families, the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that will administer the new fund. But at the same time, the fund reflects the fact that "children live in a wide range of family structures and there are many different ways that fathers can engage in the lives of their children," he says.
Fatherhood has been a recurring theme of the Obama administration. Shortly after his inauguration, Mr. Obama established a Fatherhood and Healthy Families Taskforce. He called the high rate of absent fathers in African-American communities "a real crisis." In June, Obama launched a Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative.
"Given the focus on fatherhood at the highest levels of the administration, it's clear that this is a priority," says Joshua DuBois, who oversees fatherhood initiatives as director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
When Congress passed welfare reform in 1996, a section of the law directed that funds go to the "formation and maintenance of two-parent families." This section opened the door to federal funding for programs that support and encourage marriage.
Since then, presidents have cited the same dire statistics surrounding single-parent households: One in 3 children in America lives in a fatherless household, and these children are likelier to be poor, abuse drugs, and become teen parents.
But presidents have used these statistics to support different approaches to family funds. Now, groups concerned about the Obama approach are pressing members of Congress to create a dedicated portion of funds that would go to marriage education.
The California Healthy Marriages Coalition is one group calling for this. The coalition provides marriage- and relationship-education funding to organizations throughout the state. It received almost $12 million over five years from the Bush administration's Healthy Marriage fund.
But the group would be fortunate to get $1 million from the new fund, says Dennis Stoica, the coalition's president. He argues that the language in the proposed budget, placing marriage as a "component" of comprehensive responsible-fatherhood programs, favors fatherhood. The multifaceted nature of the funds would crowd out marriage, he adds. "For us, it's this tremendous shift," Mr. Stoica says.
Mr. DuBois of the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships refutes the idea that marriage education could become obsolete under Obama. "There is a renewed and invigorated emphasis on the responsible-fatherhood side and a continuation of interest in marriage," he says.
The fund's composition will remain unclear until the money is appropriated and distributed. Furthermore, both fatherhood and marriage-education programs are relatively new fields, and while some studies have found success, others are inconclusive.
Mr. Jones of the Center for Urban Families is also a member of a presidential advisory council. He sees fatherhood programs working in tandem with marriage promotion. "We want to help men be good fathers and partners so that, when they go into a new relationship, we have the potential to cut off that cycle of father absence," he says.

More than 1,000 supporters of horse racing and greyhound racing including those from Sam Houston Race Park, Retama Park and Lone Star Park, rallied at the State Capitol in Austin on March 31 to support House Bill 2111, which would allow slot machines at licensed racetracks (horse, greyhound) and Indian Reservations in Texas.
Two other pieces of legislation, SJR 33 and HJR 111, were also spoken of. Those would allow a vote by the public to put slot machines on racetracks.
For these measures to pass, two-thirds of the Texas Legislature must approve, then voters would decided whether or not to approve a constitutional amendment.
Supporters say this would generate hundreds of millions of tax dollars annually and allow Texas racing to compete with Oklahoma and Louisiana racing, which host races that are rich with slot money.
Win For Texas released a report that 77,500 new permanent jobs would be created and that the $2.2 billion that Texans are spending on slots and gaming outside the state would be kept here.
Jon Hockenyos, president of TXP, an economic analysis and public policy consulting firm founded in Austin, said that that about $2.4 billion in gaming revenue (and $3.8 billion total) would appear in-state by the end of 2013. "This in turn would create $8.5 billion in total economic activity (and) $2.6 billion in earnings," he said. "The economic benefits of implementing slots are well-distributed across the state, as Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston each stand to gain close to 20,000 permanent jobs, Austin and San Antonio will realize approximately 10,000, and the balance is distributed across the rest of Texas."
Other supporters include Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, D-McAllen, and Sen. Jeff Wentworth, R-San Antonio, Rep. Beverly Woolley, R-Houston and musician Lyle Lovett."Our state is no longer competitive with our surrounding states in terms of money we can generate here," Lovett, a Texan, told KVUE news. "We're looking for new non-tax sources of revenue and this is a significant source of non-tax revenue."

Anyway, I am going to share a quick tutorial for making a body pillow (it's called Huggy in this house) using an old blanket and a small amount of fabric. One day my daughter sew a body pillow on TV commercial or something and asked me to make one for her.
This is the pillow I am sharing the tuto today.
I started constructing variety of possible materials I can think of for making it in my mind. It seemed very easy to make the shape of exterior with fabric. But if I need to fill that with fiber filling, how much should I buy it? After awhile, when I was cleaning my daughter's bed, a MARVELOUS (at least I thought so) idea hit me.
Nina is modeling for me how to use her new pillow!
As you can see she is just pretending she is asleep, (she has her school uniform on yet!)
I edited the photo to look like she is in a dream......
This blanket has been with us at least seven years I believe. And it was already pretty much used since it was a hand-me-down from Nina's grandma. I have no idea how many years Grandma had it. So I needed to patch holes sometimes and even trimmed "Shabby" edges all around. That was worn-out pretty much. But on the other hand, it has gotten very soft so this was Nina's favorite blanket for years. Then, the (BIG) idea was to re-purpose this blanket as a filling of a body pillow.
I am going to show you how I make a blanket into a filling and how to make a fabric cover for it.
I folded and rolled the blanket. Than measure the dimension of the roll.
Stuff the blanket into the cover.
The cover is just a simple draw string bag with a round bottom. Only it is super loooooong.
Supplies ; ★An old blanket or quilt. (The size of my blanket is about FULL. If you have larger one, you will get a fatter pillow. The size doesn't mutter so much. If you thought the roll is too skinny, you could roll two blanket together for some more thickness.)
★Fabric which has nice and soft touch for your skin. (Mine was quilting weight 100% cotton.) The amount of fabric you will need is up to your blanket size. Please refer the measuring instruction below.
★Cotton cord. "a"x(3.14)+8" (Refer the measuring instruction below.)
How to fold and roll your blanket.
You need two measurement from your roll which are the diameter of bottom "a" and the length "b".
Sew the bottom to the side. Stitch zigzag around the seam.
Make knots on the ends of the cord so the cord won't easily come off.
Stuff your blanket roll into the cover. Pull and tie the cord. Tuck the knot into the pillow.
This is the finished bottom. Nice and clean.
Thank you for stopping by! I hope you all have a beautiful week!

.110 Questions
.200 Request for Use of University Buildings and Grounds
.210 Request for Use of Ahearn Sports Complex
.220 Request for Use of Kansas State University Chapels
.005 Purpose
This policy is to help provide for the safe use of KSU buildings and grounds and the avoidance of scheduling conflicts. Nothing in this policy is intended to or shall be used to prohibit free expression based on viewpoint, or to prohibit unscheduled expressive activities on KSU grounds. Safety rules and other content-neutral reasonable time, place and manner restrictions may be enforced.
.010 Unscheduled Building Access
All University buildings are open from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and closed all day Saturday and Sunday unless scheduled to be opened by request for special use. All office doors should remain locked after hours or when offices are unattended for a prolonged period of time.
The following guidelines are intended to establish a procedure to admit authorized persons to University buildings at times when buildings are normally closed.
Faculty and staff personnel who have a need to be in a building during closed hours should request, through their department head or dean, an outside door key to be issued to them. Faculty and staff personnel who would need to be in their building during closed hours at infrequent, unscheduled intervals should go to the Kansas State University Police Department, show their Kansas State University identification card, state the reasons for needing building access, and request assistance. Only when this process is followed may the Kansas State University Police Department, by the authority of the Assistant Vice President for the Division of Facilities, open buildings during closed hours.
.020 Scheduling Building and Grounds Use
University facilities are available for use by authorized groups for activities that complement the teaching, research, and service programs of the University. Priority is given to academic scheduling. The use of buildings for other than regularly scheduled academic classes and functions will be considered special and will be subject to these guidelines.
Scheduling of University buildings and grounds shall be approved only for a University department or a student organization that is registered by the Center for Student Involvement, or CSI. Non-university groups or individuals requesting to reserve university space for events open to the public must be co-sponsored by a University department or registered student organization. Members of the student organization or department must be actively involved with the planning of the event for it to be considered sponsored by the student organization or department. The Division of Facilities or the appropriate Building Authority as designee reserves the right to request verification of eligibility if necessary and make the final determination as to sponsorship by considering the nature of the event and past experience with respect to similar events.
To reserve space, the Request for Use of University Buildings or Grounds form must be completed. Policy and Procedure Manual Chapter 8530 provides additional guidelines that student organizations must adhere to.
For scheduled activities, a Facilities Request for Use of University Buildings and Grounds form (Attachment 200) (pdf) shall be completed and submitted to the Associate Vice President for Facilities or Building Authority at least one week in advance of the requested activity. Building opening requests should be submitted at least 24 hours in advance or before noon on Friday for weekends. A shorter notice period may result in a rejection because of lack of time to make necessary arrangements. If .25 inch of rain is received during the 24-hours preceding a scheduled outdoor event, the event may need to be postponed/canceled in order to protect the grounds.
Scheduling of activities can be made only for the current semester. Regularly scheduled continuing functions will be approved for one semester only. Applications for renewal will be submitted and processed in the same manner as new requests. Scheduling for the summer can begin May 1. Fall semester scheduling can start July 1. Spring semester scheduling can begin December 1.
Activities will be confined to as few buildings as feasible in order to comply reasonably with State, Federal, and University requirements on energy conservation. A copy of the approved Building & Grounds request will be sent to the Kansas State University Police Department as authorization to unlock outside doors of buildings to be used. The Police Department is not responsible for unlocking department space doors. General use classroom doors are to remain unlocked at all times unless approval has been received from Facilities to do otherwise.
.030 Food
Food is not permitted to be handled and served in University buildings, except in non-classroom areas in the following buildings and their immediately adjacent outside grounds:
|K-State Union
|Football Office Bldg., Big Eight Room only
|McCain Auditorium
|Durland Hall, Foyer only
|Hale Library, Room 315
|KSU Foundation Center
|Nichols Hall, Foyer only
|Weber Hall, Arena only
|Derby Food Center
|Brandeberry Complex
|Kramer Food Center
|Justin Hall, Hoffman Lounge only
|Bramlage Coliseum
All catering of food on campus is to be arranged by the K-State Union or a licensed caterer. Catered events involving food not supplied by the K-State Union must meet the requirements of the Campus Sanitation Committee and be signed by the Director of Public Safety before the request is considered.
.040 Fund Raising Functions
Any activity which is sponsored by a registered student organization that involves a request for money from non-members, and is publicly advertised or solicited, requires a Fund Raising Permit.
Use of buildings and grounds for political activity will be subject to the Board of Regents and Kansas State University Political Activity Guidelines currently in effect.
Individual use areas such as Weber Arena, Ahearn Sports Complex, All Faiths and Danforth Chapels, and Military Science Building, Room 8 have specialized policies in addition to this basic policy and they are defined in the section of this document called Specialized Procedures. These areas have use fees and the group is responsible for submitting payment for all areas except Military Science to the Division of Facilities, Dykstra Hall Room 109, prior to the event.
University facilities are NOT available for private use. (See Specialized Procedures for All Faiths and Danforth Chapels.)
.045 Electronically Amplified Sound
The use of electronically amplified sound may be desirable or necessary in connection with certain special events or activities on campus. However, amplified sound presents a potential for interference with essential university activities. Therefore, the use of amplified sound, such as public address equipment, sound vehicles, electronically amplified musical instruments, and so forth, is generally restricted to non-classroom, classroom, non-laboratory and non-office hours and/or to such locations as auditoriums, stadia or other areas in which amplified sound is unlikely to disturb the regular academic or administrative functions of the university.
Based on the above considerations, electronically amplified sound is permitted on campus, but generally only on the island between Seaton Hall and the K-State Student Union, in the Quadrangle east of Calvin Hall and around the perimeter of Bramlage Coliseum. Amplification is permitted on the island between Seaton Hall and the Union generally only between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. During enrollment, amplified sound also will be permitted around the perimeter of Ahearn Fieldhouse.
Persons wishing to make use of electronically amplified sound must consult with the special events coordinator of the Division of Facilities in order to schedule the time and place. If another group or individual has already scheduled a certain time and place for the use of amplified sound, anyone later making the same request for the same time and place will need to schedule an alternative time or place, so that amplification is not magnified and/or so that the groups do not interfere with each other's ability to be heard.
Requests for exceptions to this regulation shall be made to the Special Events Coordinator and will be considered by a committee composed of one representative of the Student Governing Association, one faculty member, one representative of the Dean of Student Life's office, and one representative of the Department of Public Safety. Requests will be considered without regard to the content of the speech or activity. Exceptions will be granted if the committee determines that the proposed use of amplified sound will not interfere with university classes or other academic or administrative activities. Decisions of the committee are final.
In any event, no matter what prior permission has been granted regarding the use of electronically amplified sound, if the sound level does in fact interfere with any academic or administrative activity, as indicated by one or more complains about sound level or by other indicia of excessive noise, the amplification will be reduced or eliminated at the request of any campus law enforcement personnel or other University official.
.050 Specialized Procedures
All arrangements for service, equipment, or personnel will be made by the Division of Facilities unless otherwise agreed by both parties. Requisitions will be required where specified. Billing for services will be done after the event on the basis of time and materials used unless mutually agreed upon in advance, and use fees are to be paid in advance.
Sponsors of non-academic functions are required to see that special area use fees are paid in advance. Final approval for an activity will be granted upon receipt of the specified amount.
Areas should be cleaned up and left in their original condition and may be subject to inspection by a representative of the Facilities staff. Charges may be assessed for additional clean-up or damage.
All fire, safety, sanitation, or special regulations specified for each area are to be obeyed. Infractions may result in the curtailment or cancellation of the event.
Faculty sponsors, sponsoring departments or units and requesting groups make a commitment in the course of using University facilities to use the areas without disruption to academic programs, to avoid any damage to the areas, to conserve energy, and to conform to all regulations. Abuse of use regulations will result in restricted or withdrawn privileges.
All requests are approved in accordance with University regulations concerning use of Kansas State University facilities. Some using groups are required to sign a waiver of liability. All requests are subject to cancellation by the Assistant Vice President for the Division of Facilities.
.060 Weber Arena
Weber Arena was specifically designed for classes and laboratories for the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry and priority is given to these activities. Educational events such as conferences, clinics, and symposiums may be held there on a scheduled basis. It has unique features which can accommodate large events that may be open to the general public.
All requests are handled and processed by The Division of Facilities and coordinated with the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry.
The Arena surface shall be worked by a person or persons designated and approved by the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry.
Events which disrupt research being conducted in the Physiology of Reproduction Laboratory located in the area beneath the bleachers are not permitted.
Events that are hazardous to students, participants, livestock, facilities or equipment are not permitted.
Animals which are not healthy and may endanger the health of the herds and flocks of the Department of Animal Sciences and Industry are not permitted to contaminate the facility.
Animals which are closely confined or offered for sale are required to have a health certificate from the State Veterinarian's office and compliance with any other applicable health regulations.
Animals shall not be ridden or exercised on the lawn areas of Weber.
Evening and weekend or holiday events should have adequate security provided by the using group and coordinated through the Kansas State University Police Department.
Use fees, which are used for maintenance of the arena, are based on the most current fee schedule and are to be paid in advance.
A responsible representative of the using group of the group sponsor shall be present at all times for supervision and emergency situations.
.070 Military Science Building - Room 8
Military Science Building, Room 8, was specifically designed for a rifle range for the Department of Military Science and ROTC instruction. Priority is given to these activities.
All requests for use of Military Science Building, Room 8, will be referred by the Division of Facilities to the Head of the Military Science Department for approval prior to scheduling. Specialized guidelines have been established in addition to those stated in Chapter 7840.
A use fee will be charged, based on the number of persons each day using the facility. The current fee schedule will be used. The Head of the Military Science Department will calculate the proper fee to be assessed. Payment of use fees is to be in advance.
Use fees collected are controlled by the Head of the Military Science Department and used exclusively for range maintenance (i.e., target cloth, paint, light bulbs, pulleys, electric motors, cord for target carriers, cleaning materials, hiring personnel and renting equipment to maintain target traps, and other expenses incurred on the range.)
.080 Ahearn Sports Complex
The Ahearn Sports Complex is made up of the Field House, Gymnasium, Natatorium, and miscellaneous areas designed for use by the Department of Kinesiology, the Department of Athletics, Rec Services, and K-State Global Campus. These departments have use priority. A Request to Use Ahearn Sports Complex form (Attachment 210) (pdf) must be completed by the requestor and approved by the Division of Facilities to reserve time and space in this building.
Events that are hazardous to either students, participants, facilities, or equipment are not permitted.
A qualified lifeguard shall be on duty at all times for activities in the Natatorium.
No food or drink is permitted in the pool area, gymnasium, or other areas as posted.
Non-academic groups must direct their request for use of facilities to the Facilities Special Events Coordinator. All scheduling of academic use will be coordinated with the Ahearn Users Group. Areas requested for use will be specifically stated on the formal request form. A use fee may be required.
A responsible representative of the using group or the group sponsor shall be present at all times for supervision and emergency situations.
Adequate safety and health provisions (including Red Cross) will be arranged for and paid by the using group when deemed necessary by the Ahearn Users Group.
Events which involve large numbers of people and/or many special arrangements should be made as much in advance, at least one semester if possible, to assure scheduling.
If a principal user unexpectedly requires the facility, every effort will be made to relocate the events and to keep inconvenience at a minimum.
.090 All-Faiths and Danforth Chapels
The chapels were given to Kansas State University for the religious life and growth of the university community - Danforth Chapel by the Danforth Foundation and All Faiths Chapel through private donations as a memorial for K-State alumni who died in World War II and the Korean War. At the onset, it was decided that Religious Activities, Dean of Student Life, and the Music Department would share All Faiths Chapel.
The original intent for use of the Chapels is to provide a place for holding meetings, services, or other activities of a religious nature and for individual private meditation by students, faculty, and staff. Additionally, the facilities are to be used by the Music Department to support their academic program as long as the All Faiths Chapel organ is the only one available. University- related religious activities and academic programs have use priority.
The schedule for University-related religious activities and Department of Music programs is established and maintained through mutual agreement to accommodate valid religious activities and priority time for the Music Department. Scheduling is done on a single semester basis.
All Request for use of Kansas State University Chapels (Attachment 220) (pdf) will be processed and approved by the Facilities Special Events Coordinator. The Division of Facilities maintains the Chapels as public use facilities and charges a use fee for all non-academic related activities. Non-academic activities include, but are not limited to, wedding rehearsals, weddings, and special events that charge an admission fee, such as concerts or speakers. The fee is used for special custodial upkeep and building maintenance. Added fees may be assessed if a special event has an expected attendance of 200 or more and lasts for more than three hours.
Additional services requested by any user will be charged at the current rate for such services, such as table and chair rental, delivery and pickup, and PA systems (if house system is not used). All use fees are payable in advance and final approval for use will depend upon receipt of the designated amount. If the facilities are damaged or not left in the same condition as found, the user will be billed for restoration.
The following guidelines are provided in order to facilitate chapel use for religious groups, university chaplains, worship services, weddings, memorial services, music academic classes, faculty and student recitals, and concerts:
To accommodate academic music requirements, All Faiths Chapel should be scheduled primarily Monday through Thursday, all day, and Friday afternoon until 4 p.m.,and Sunday from 1 to 4:30 p.m.
Similarly, to best accommodate wedding rehearsals, weddings, worship services, and religious activities, All Faiths Chapel should be scheduled primarily Friday after 4 p.m. through Sunday at 1 p.m. and after 4:30 p.m.
Exceptions, such as memorial services, special concerts, and musical and religious activities require coordination between the Department of Music and Religious Activities.
Single or short-term events may be scheduled at any time when space is available on a semester basis.
Scheduling of musical programs by off-campus groups should be coordinated with the Head of the Department of Music, while off-campus, non-registered religious groups scheduling should be coordinated with the Coordinator of Religious Activities.
Registered student organizations wanting to use the chapels regularly during a semester are to have their reservation forms submitted to the Division of Facilities by the beginning of each semester.
Semester schedules for music student recitals should be completed early each semester.
To provide use opportunity for as many units as possible, because of limited availability and heavy demand, it may be necessary to limit the frequency and time length for meetings, regular groups, or events. Weddings should be limited to three hours.
- Danforth Chapel (seating 65) may be scheduled on a regular basis and for single events by religious groups on any day of the week. Other groups or individuals may schedule Danforth Chapel on a space-available basis. Off-campus groups will be coordinated with the Coordinator of Religious Activities or Head of the Music Department
.100 Control of Animals on Kansas State University Property
The University has the responsibility to provide a safe, healthy, positive learning environment. The uncontrolled and unsupervised presence of animals on campus compromises that environment. This policy establishes and fixes the responsibility with the owner of the animal and sets forth the manner in which the conditions of the policy will be administered.
Animals are not permitted in any buildings with the exception of service animals, animals under care and treatment in the College of Veterinary Medicine, research animals housed in University buildings or animals used as part of an academic program. Service animals are defined as a dog or miniature horse (in certain circumstances) individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. Service animals are welcome in all buildings on campus and may attend any class, meeting or other events. Students who use a service animal are encouraged to notify the Student Access Center.
Assistance animals are permitted in university housing if an accommodation is required under the University Housing Reasonable Accommodations Policy. That policy, the forms necessary to request a housing accommodation, and the Assistance Animal Policy and Agreement can be found on the Student Access Center website. Animals such as fish, non-venomous or non-dangerous reptiles, or amphibians may be allowed in university housing under certain circumstances. Please refer to the relevant housing handbook: For Residence Halls. For Jardine Apartments. For Polytechnic.
The Building Authority for each building is responsible for enforcing the policy.
All dogs and cats on campus must be licensed with the city in which the campus is located. All animals must have current vaccinations evidenced by a tag on the animal or the vaccination certificate in the immediate possession of the owner.
All animals at Kansas State University are expected to behave appropriately at all times. The University may exclude an animal, including a service animal, if the animal:
- is not housebroken;
- would pose a direct threat to the health, safety or property of others that cannot be reduced or eliminated by a reasonable accommodation;
- is out of control;
- would fundamentally alter the nature of a program or activity; or
- is not being cared for by the individual.
Animals are not permitted to run free on University property. Animals on University property outside of buildings must be leashed and under personal control of the owner at all times. Animals may not be secured to trees, posts, shrubs, etc., and left unattended. Owners are required to clean up after their animals outside of buildings.
Animals that are running loose or unattended will be taken or turned over to the Riley County Police Department Animal Control. These animals will be held in the T. Russell Reitz Animal Shelter for five days to be reclaimed by their owners. After five days, if the animal has a stable disposition and is in good health it is made available for adoption. See the animal shelter's website for more information.
