During the 2013-14 academic year, the Center for Faculty Development offered three Faculty Learning Communities, each around a book.
The first two were launched during fall quarter and continue into winter. The third began in winter quarter and continued into the spring. The first – on Ambrose et al.'s How Learning Works – was for faculty who want a better understanding of their students' learning so that they can make smarter decisions in their own courses.The second – on Rabiner and Fortunato's Thinking Like Your Editor – was for faculty interested in writing nonfiction for a broad audience.
Meanwhile the third – on Stone et al.'s Difficult Conversations – was for faculty who want to learn how to communicate effectively in difficult situations, following a carefully structured process.
A faculty learning community is a group of cross-disciplinary faculty (usually 6–12 people) engaging in an active, collaborative program that meets regularly to support the enhancement of one's teaching or scholarship (definition adapted from Miami University, OH). Participants in the learning community each pick a focus project and agree to apply the ideas, try out innovations, and report back to the group on what they have learned.The Center for Faculty Development provides you with a copy of the book, refreshments, and a designated "host" for your learning community. At each gathering, you'll discuss key insights from the assigned reading, the progress you're making on your own project, and questions that are surfacing for you.
Any Seattle University faculty member, part-time or full-time, can participate in the program.
Are you interested in learning how to communicate effectively in difficult situations, but are not sure where to begin? Difficult Conversations, written by members of the Harvard Negotiation Project, provides a step-by-step approach for how to have your toughest conversations with less stress and more success. In this four-session Learning Community over winter and spring, you'll work your way through the principles in the book so that you feel better prepared to engage in important conversations on tricky topics, be they with a colleague, a relative, or a friend.
If demand is high,
then we will set up a separate group that will specifically focus on "difficult
conversations around diversity."
3a. What's in it for you?
Over the four sessions, you'll learn how to:
3b. Who is it suited to?
This community is for any faculty member who would like to be better prepared for awkward conversations and wants to take a more measured and research-driven approach to broaching the topic. Ideally, you will have a future conversation in mind that you can consider as you work through the book with your learning community of up to 12 people. You may choose to share your topic with the group, but we won't require that of you.

Would you like to write a book about your
area of expertise for a broad audience, but you're not sure where to
begin? In this five-session series over Fall and Winter Quarters, you'll
learn some of the trade secrets for writing a successful nonfiction
book. We'll be reading and discussing Thinking Like Your Editor: How to Write Great Serious Nonfiction – and Get It Published,
recommended by editors at Harvard University Press, Oxford University
Press, and HarperCollins, to name just a few. We won't be talking about
how to write a book for the dozen specialists in your field, but how to
write a book that's sold at regular bookstores and reaches 1,000 or more
people a year. Whether you're already outlining chapters or you're just
toying with the glimmer of a book idea, this faculty learning community
can take your thinking and writing where you most need them to go.
2a. What's in it for you?
Over the course of this 6-part series, you'll
2b. Who is this suited to?
You can be at the early thinking stages
of your book idea or you can already be writing chapters. We do ask,
however, that you come with the intent to work on a nonfiction book
project for a broad audience, rather than a niche book for a select
group of like-minded specialists or a journal article. We'll be able to
provide the best support for one another if we're facing similar

Twelve places are available for this community on a first come, first served basis. If more people apply, we will keep a wait-list.
Are you interested in finding out more about your students' learning and adjusting your own courses as a result? How Learning Works, written by faculty developers from Carnegie Mellon University, is grounded in evidence from cognitive sciences, education, and psychology, and presents seven key principles that we can use to underpin the design of our courses. Covering such topics as mastery, prior knowledge, motivation, and classroom climate, this book has gained an international reputation for its clarity, rigor, and practicality. Over five sessions in Fall and Winter, we'll be able to increase our understanding of learning, plan concrete changes for our classes, and discuss the results of these changes with an interdisciplinary group of peers.

1b. Who is this suited to?
This community is for any faculty member who would like to take a more research-based approach to teaching. Ideally, you would be teaching in both Fall and Winter so that you can put new ideas into use immediately and are therefore better able to contribute to group discussion and reflection. This will give everyone greater insight into the variability of teaching contexts and norms, and can lead to a deeper appreciation of disciplinary nuances in higher education.

Are there any diagrams for this?
You're lucky, I made a video yesterday, which which probably be up next weekend. :)
Also, Klaus-Dieter Ennen drew some diagrams, check http://origamist.de/pdf/17/dreiecks-schachtelv.h.w.guth.pdf Note that I fold the model quite differently, though. I didn't want to have any creases on the visible surface of the finished model. ;)

A pet goldfish is off-the-hook and alive after a micro-surgery removes a tumor from his brain.
Angela Steinfurth and Steven King, the mother of east Toledo 1-year-old Elaina Steinfurth and her boyfriend, have both been indicted for murder.
A grand jury indicted Angela Steinfurth on one count of murder Monday. Her ex-boyfriend Steven King was indicted on aggravated murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence charges.
Family members, police and the community spent months searching for Elaina Steinfurth after she was reported missing on June 2, 2013. Police found her body in the garage of King's home on September 5.
An autopsy concluded Elaina suffered numerous broken bones as a result of "non-accidental trauma." The Lucas County Coroner ruled the girl's death a homicide on November 6.
Court documents filed Monday allege King purposely caused baby Elaina's death, and that he tried to destroy evidence of the crime. When it comes to Angela Steinfurth, court documents state her actions contributed to the death of her 1-year-old daughter.
"I assume she's responsible or allegedly responsible for some type of injury the child may have suffered, or that she allowed the injuries caused by Mr. King," explained Jerome Phillips, an attorney who looked over the indictments. He says based on statements of evidence, King is allegedly the primary cause of Elaina's death.
Both King and Steinfurth are scheduled to appear in court Tuesday morning. Phillips says he wouldn't be surprised if pleas are taken and sentencing takes place.
"I think that's probably best for everybody," he said. "All the families involved need this thing done. You need it behind all the families, you know. They've been through a very traumatic experience."
Count on Toledo News Now for complete coverage of those court appearances.
Even before the girl's body was found, police charged King and Steinfurth with obstruction of justice. Those charges were amended on Monday when a grand jury indicted the two on murder charges, and King on the abuse and tampering charges.
In Ohio, a person convicted or aggravated murder could be put to death.

2011 PUMA Battle Royale V, a.k.a. Last Man Standing
PUMA is once again bringing some excitement to the track. The PUMA Battle Royale V, a.k.a. Last Man Standing is one of the most unique track events in the world. 13 athletes will step on the track for a 5 kilometer race. But here's the catch. After each lap, the runner in last place will be pulled from the track, eventually leaving the winner to bask in the glory of a solo lap of victory.
Last Man Standing is a thinking person's race. So much strategery to contemplate. Do you push the pace hard from the gun, to keep it honest? Or are you confident that you'll always be able to outkick the slowest athlete each lap? Not only is Battle Royale supremacy on the line, but as with any good fight, so is cold hard cash.
- 13 runners start the race. Each lap, the runner in last place will be pulled from the track by the referee until only one remains. He will be crowned the 2011 PUMA BATTLE ROYALE, a.k.a. Last Man Standing Champion.
- Performing any illegal holds or maneuvers, such as excessive spiking to the leg of an opponent when he/she is entering oxygen debt, hair-pulling, choking or biting an opponent, or repeatedly punching with a closed fist are all subject to a referee-administered disqualification.
- Any outside interference involving a person not involved in the race striking or holding a runner is forbidden. If a heel attempts to interfere but is ejected from the track by a runner or referee before this occurs, there is usually no disqualification.
Prize Money:
1. $1500
2. $1000
3. $500
4. $250
5. $100
$150 bonus for leader at the mile.

The Theory of Relativity ruined everything but the partying at Rice-Eccles Stadium on Thursday night, and it was, indeed, attributable to equations of mass and energy.
Utah had all of it, Northern Desperation had none.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Any questions?
Yeah, there are still plenty, while answers are yet in short supply, and here's why: No matter what the Utes accomplished in their opener here, including the final score of 41-zip, they did it against one of the worst football teams in the country, a second-tier outfit coming off a winless, 10th-tier season.
Everybody knew that coming in.
Including the Utes themselves.
Kyle Whittingham said before and after the game that his team was supposed to win. Defensive end/linebacker Trevor Reilly was candid about that in the postgame, saying, in so many words, that the Utes were the bigger, badder team before this thing was ever played.
That fact pretty much canceled out any usefulness any fool wanted to attach to the outcome. It was simply a win, bought with the few hundred thousand large Utah handed over to the N. Colorado Bears for their trouble. It was college football's version of prostitution.
Wham … bam … and the Utes got what they paid for — an easy, empty victory.
When Whittingham was asked afterward what he learned from the game, he said: "That's a good question."
He later added: "We understand there are bigger challenges on the horizon."
The main tidbits culled from watching were: Jordan Wynn's arm didn't fall off when he threw the ball — "Overall, I was pretty pleased with my performance," he said — and Brian Johnson can, it turns out, call plays from the booth without a brain freeze, a fact that left Whittingham satisfied.
Johnson's new offense is all over the place and much more adventurous than Norm Chow's was a year ago. How effective it will be against teams that actually match up against Utah … well, that information comes later in the course of study.
John White, who gained 119 yards, with a TD, on 24 carries, is already convinced: "The new offense is really explosive and balanced. It's going to be that way the entire season. I can't wait."
The defense was decent, too.
"They couldn't run on us," said defensive end Joe Kruger, "and that's our No. 1 priority every game. … Just shove it down their throat."
Kruger wasn't bad at stopping the pass, either, picking off a Bear throw early in the fourth quarter and taking it 23 yards to the house for Utah's final score.
The relative numbers read like this: The Utes outgained UNC, 414 yards to 114. The Utes had 193 rushing yards to the Bears' 35. The Utes had 221 passing yards to UNC's 79. The Utes scored six touchdowns to the Bears' none. After a slow offensive start, Utah plowed ahead and the defense kept it there.
It was dogged, determined defensive dominance against a team destiny demanded had to be deterred, destroyed and dominated.
Simply said, there was a whole lotta D.
Offensively, Whittingham said the Utes "didn't stretch the field enough. We just have to get better."Next Page >

You may remember Michael Paul Stephenson as the guy who directed "Best Worst Movie", the breakout hit documentary from a few years back about "Troll 2". Stephenson was also the child star of that film, and "Best Worst Movie" was in part a response to his discovery that the infamously bad "Troll 2" had become something of a cult classic with kids who grew up watching it on HBO in the 90's.
Michael Stephenson, yes the "Troll 2" Michael Stephenson, will be producing and directing a new dark comedy titled "Destroy". The movie focuses on a man obsessed with hunting and destroying vampires even though they don't exist. Which is obviously fiction because vampires do exist and they have babies with normal people, which I think I might how the "Twilight" series ends. So, spoiler alert! Maybe.
A new clip from "Sharktopus" featuring commentary by Roger Corman has been released in honor of the films DVD release. Corman has a cameo as a beach bum who oogles a girl on the beach which is really how we all like our Corman. Either that way or with a side of cole slaw, I like that Corman too.
Mark Pellington, who I would be mocking for his music video directing work if he hadn't also directed "Arlington Road", says that the script for the English remake of "The Orphanage" is actually better than the original. He goes on to say that he's getting a little antsy to get this thing going and wants to close on a leading lady ASAP. Having never seen the original and not knowing much about the remake I'm going to confidently say the girl who played Six on "Blossom" would be perfect.
I can't think of one time Woody Harrelson has been wrong so when he talks about "Zombieland 2" and says he's "not sure it's the right thing to do." I believe him. I would also believe him if he told me that the sky is red and bleach is perfectly fine to drink too though, so maybe I'm not the best judge of people. In any case the future of the film is rocky at best but as of right now is moving forward.
Singing pornographic songs to kids is always funny, that's a fact that any college scholar will tell you. So I'm shocked and disturbed to find that a 21 year old man in Michigan is being brought up on charges of manufacturing child sexually abusive material after he posted a video on youtube of him singing a dirty song spliced with video of kids in a classroom. Even more troubling is that the video has been taken down.
A Massachusetts man is being forced to undergo a psychiatric evaluation after he threatened two men with a hatchet in a local Wal-Mart. Honestly though have you ever talked to a Boston sports fan? Two seconds of listening to any of them and I want to take a hatched to anyone within a 5 mile radius.
A lot of movies get added to Netflix's Instant Stream every week. Luckily for you, I'm here to dig through what's new and highlight new releases that may be of interest to BGH readers. Halloween is right around the corner and Netflix is really ramping up the horror releases. Tons of stuff this week. And without further adieu, joining the ranks of the Instant Stream this week are:
Amityville II: The Possession (1982)
At the risk of losing some nerd-cred, I have to come clean: the only Amityville movie I've ever seen was "Part 3D". Checking this one out.
Sometimes, you find something just so bizarre, part of you hopes it isn't real - and part of you secretly hopes it is. I came across this trailer yesterday for the movie "Raped By Satan" via the twitter user JonKillerFilm. I'm on some heavy painkillers currently, and I'm not sure if that's what allowed me to watch this at least 5 times, cackling to myself in morbid delight. Or that could have been a RESULT of the painkillers, but I'm not one for details.
The time has finally come my friends! After a successful run of screenings across the country "Best Worst Movie" is finally coming to DVD on November 16th. The DVD will be chock full of special features including over an hour worth of never seen footage and deleted scenes.
"Troll 2" came out almost twenty years ago and in honor of this a special edition Blu-Ray version of the film is being released. Every time I think about this I automatically ask myself one question, "why god?". I then immediately think about how excited I am to be able to add this awful masterpiece to my collection. Yes the movie is terrible and no there's no way that watching it on Blu-Ray, in all its hi-def glory is going to change any of that. But what can you do.
Good news for all you hipsters our there who need to be ironic on the latest technologies. "Troll 2" is coming to Blu-Ray! So now you can show your friends how witty you are by thinking the film is great and how you paid thirty bucks to prove that point. Congrats!
"Underworld 4" has had it's release date pushed back a second time now and won't see a release till January of 2012. Disappointing I know but the good news is "Underworld 5" will hit theaters in March of 2011. Alright that's a lie, it isn't disappointing at all.
Chris Vance from "Prison Break" is the latest addition to the ever growing cast of "Dexter" season 5. I have no idea if this is good news or not. Is "Prison Break" still on? If they haven't broken out by now I'm thinking maybe they should just do the time and call it a day.
Arlen Escarpeta who you might remember as the kid who pleasured himself to a Sears catalog in the "Friday the 13th" reboot has been added to the cast of next years "Final Destination 5" film. Just pray whatever he does to himself in this one won't be in 3D.
Sometimes litter can be adorable kids. Just look at this bear cub in Florida who had a plastic jar stuck on its head for ten days. Sure it could of died but really that's a small price to pay for hilarious internet videos.
1992 - Actor-director Woody Allen admitted being romantically involved with Soon-Yi Previn, the adopted daughter of his longtime companion, actress Mia Farrow.
If you don't have a soft spot in your heart for the "Troll 2" documentary "Best Worst Movie" than I'm not sure you even have a heart. It's the feel good hit of the summer as the kids say and it's got a brand spanking new trailer and screening dates for your to get all mushy over.
For those of you not familiar with the doc it's a heartwarming look back at "Troll 2" and how it's grown from being considered one of the worst movies of all time to a underground hit with a cult fallowing. Are you crying yet? You should be.
Bill Murray continues to stir up "Ghostbusters III" talk. During his appearance on last night;s "Late Show With David Letterman", he confirms that he will be killed off early in the script and states that he doubts the film will ever be made.
Everyone's favorite ginger snap Katherine Isabelle is returning in "Hard Ride To Hell", a story about a group of campers who find themselves in danger after witnessing a blood sacrifice. The film will debut on Spike TV before the DVD hits on May 18th.
Area23A, an event based distribution company, has picked up the rights to "Best Worst Movie". If you've been dying to lay eyes on this documentary centered on the 'classic' "Troll 2", your dreams are about to come true as the company plans a theatrical release.
Keep your eyes on your local art house theater; the recent midnight screenings of "Evil Dead" have been doing so well that Grindhouse Releasing has struck a new 35mm print of the film. With showings selling out, the company plans on keeping the film going for quite awhile. Stay tuned to the Grindhouse Releasing website to see if they add a city near you.

I recieved a link to this show last week, and in light of Tor's recent review of the documentary "American Scary", I thought it was the perfect time to bring it up. What you have here is a fan-produced series "B-Rated". Essentially you have a corny horror host, and then a psuedo-intellectual reviewer who takes apart truly awful movies and gives them more thought than they deserve. It's all pretty entertaining, and dare I say, shockingly well produced for something put together by fans.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

File (filacium) is a threed or wyer, whereon writs, or other exhibits in courts, are fastened for the better keeping of them. [Cowel, "The Interpreter," 1607]
Methods have become more sophisticated, but the word has stuck. Related: Filed; filing.
The 'Chateaubriand,' the 'entrecôte,' and the 'filet mignon' (of mutton), with other forms, are all due to the more enlarged sympathies of the French butcher for what is perfect. We must entirely change the mode of cutting up the carcase before we can arrive at the same perfection in form of meat purchasable, and as that is hopeless, so is it useless to insist further on the subject on behalf of the public. ["The Kitchen and the Cellar," "Quarterly Review," April 1877]

Outstanding singers, sumptuous sets and a firm sense of the dramatic created a moving evening of opera in Florida Grand Opera's opening-night performance of Verdi's La Traviata at the Arsht Center in Miami.
The Mexican soprano María Alejandres gave a vivid, vocally spectacular performance as Violetta Valéry, the doomed Parisian courtesan who finds love just as death closes in upon her. Singers in the other leading roles fully matched her performance Saturday night, and sets and costumes vividly recreated the world of 19th-century French high society.

From Oscar award winning writer and director Sofia Coppola, THE BLING RING tells the story of a group of teenagers obsessed with fashion and celebrity that burglarize celebrities' homes in Los Angeles. Tracking their targets' whereabouts online, they break-in and steal their designer clothes and possessions. Reflecting on the naiveté of youth and the mistakes we all make when young, amplified by today's culture of celebrity and luxury brand obsession, we see through the members of the Bling Ring temptations that almost any teenager would feel. What starts out as teenage fun spins out of control and leaves us with a sobering view of our culture today. THE BLING RING stars Emma Watson alongside incredible new talent Israel Broussard, Katie Chang, Claire Julien, and Taissa Farmiga. The film also features Leslie Mann, Gavin Rossdale, and real-life Bling Ring victim, Paris Hilton. It is based on the Vanity Fair article The Suspects Wore Louboutins by Nancy Jo Sales.

New single "Kill For Love" :
New single "Kill For Love" :http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/12663-kill-for-love/ - th…
So I was getting my coffee this morning and overheard Feist on the shop's soundsystem. Next thing I know I'm walking down the street humming Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi." Dunno why - guess my head figgers there's a connection there, maybe it thinks the melody is somewhat Feistian…?
So anyhow, the more I think about it, the more I think a Feist cover of that tune would in fact be pretty sweet.
Not so bizarro IMO. I'd assume a power law (long tail) distribution would apply to listening habits, as well as purchasing ones. So a very few CDs get a huge number of listens while most get almost none at all.
I'll bet it holds true in terms of digital formats in peoples' collections as well. Feels about right when I sort my iTunes music collection by number of plays. Someday I might even plot it on a graph.

A 6-year-old girl and her 4-year-old brother wandered away from home Friday and weren't seen for hours. Thankfully, those children were found a short time ago. But there are still a lot of questions -- how they got out, and how they got so far from home.
The Avondale kids were found in Goodyear, several miles away. They left their home near Central and Van Buren about 4 p.m. Friday, while their father was asleep and their mom was at work.
When their dad got up, the kids were gone. They had changed out of their pajamas and took their dog out on its leash.
While walking their dog, a man waiting for the Metro bus gave them $2 to get on a Zoom bus with their dog. The bus dropped them off at a YMCA water park at Litchfield and Thomas.
A man at the water park became concerned about the unsupervised kids and called the fire department. Firefighters picked them up about 8 p.m. -- they were barefoot.
Cody Donnafield is a neighbor. He helped search for the kids when their father discovered them missing.
"Grueling. Driving down every street, I started to think the worst, that someone took them. Where are they," he says.
11-year-old Desire Sampson saw them at the park earlier sometime between 4 and 5 p.m.
"We left, we started having second doubts. We thought oh we should've stayed with them.. until their parents got home or something. We came back and they were gone," she says.
The dad says he's grateful they're home, but is still beside himself over the ordeal. He says he plans to put deadbolts on the doors.
The kids had never been to the water park before and hadn't ridden a bus since they were infants.
When asked how they planned to get home, they told their mother they planned to sleep at the water park.
There's no word if anyone will face charges.
We reached out to Valley Metro to find out how two children and their dog were able to get on a bus unsupervised in the first place.

Dear Citizen,
Welcome to the
2012 Oklahoma Voter's Guide: for the Well-Informed Voter of Faith
. This online publication is a project of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. The purpose is to provide you, the voter, with non-partisan, unbiased information from each of the candidates.
Rather than writing our own questions, we have used an independent research firm to develop and write the questions. We simply selected the general topic areas of education, the economy and so on.
Each candidate for the state legislature, statewide office and Congress in the general election--regardless if they had an opponent--was given an opportunity to respond and provide comments. (Note: Survey questionnaires were sent by certified mail with follow-up phone calls to candidates.)
We commend all of the candidates who took time to ponder each question and respond. We hope this voting resource and the other links on this site are useful to you. The Bible tells us to "pray without ceasing." As you use this guide and vote on November 6, we encourage you to do so prayerfully. Should you have any questions or comments, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Conception of the Magnetic Collar Stay. A few years ago, I was getting dressed to take my wife out for dinner and have drinks with our friends in downtown Sarasota. My wife bought me a very nice expensive shirt the prior week which I was putting on to wear for the evening. Looking in the mirror, I could not believe the shirt's collar! It would flare out and not stay in any position I would put it in. I looked like the flying nun! After continual complaining about the way the shirt collar looked and time running out...I had an idea. I immediately configured a make-shift magnetic collar stay. Yes, it was primitive. However, the basic idea was there and more importantly it worked. The collar adjusted exactly to the way I wanted the collar to look. Wurkin Stiffs is here to conquer evil collars everywhere! The line has since expanded into a variety of Innovative Men's Accessories

CASTINE, Maine – (Reprinted from CHS release) With its public exhibit season extended through October 15 this year, the Castine Historical Society is pleased to announce that Maine Maritime Academy students will be serving as exhibit docents on weekends throughout the fall.
This year's seasonal exhibit at the CHS Abbott School location, "Schooner Bowdoin on the Greenland Patrol", is co-sponsored with Maine Maritime Academy and tells the little known story of the National Historic Landmark schooner's World War II service. The extended season at CHS will allow MMA students, parents, faculty and alumni – as well as local residents, visitors and school groups – to explore the Bowdoin's arctic history from her first voyage north with Admiral Donald MacMillan in 1921 through more recent voyages as MMA's flagship sail training vessel. With the Bowdoin recently returned to her home port from summer training voyages, visitors to the CHS exhibit will also have an opportunity to see the historic vessel at the MMA waterfront in Castine during the fall season.
MMA faculty members and Bowdoin exhibit co-curators Peg Brandon and Betsy Reese are continuing their research on schooner Bowdoin and her service on the Greenland Patrol. Five MMA students working with them on that research will join CHS volunteer docents in manning the exhibits during public hours in September and October. Visitors to the Castine Historical Society will have an opportunity to engage the students as they conduct their research, and learn more about the back stories of the officers and crew who served on the Bowdoin during WWII as well as how the arctic schooner came to be part of this historic engagement.
In addition to the seasonal exhibit on Schooner Bowdoin in Greenland in World War II, the Society offers a permanent exhibit on the Penobscot Expedition of 1779 at its location in the Abbott School at 17 School Street on the town common in Castine. For more information on the Castine Historical Society and its exhibits, visit CHS online at www.castinehistoricalsociety.org or call 207-326-4118.

scrap export,
Sean Davidson
NEW YORK The introduction of a new trade barrier on ferrous and nonferrous scrap metal by the Indian government has sparked outrage among U.S. exporters and Indian importers who expect volumes shipped to India to drop significantly as a result of the new fees. In two separate customs notifications, Indias finance ministry announced May 8 that effective immediately it would impose a 2.5-percent customs duty on imports of scrap iron, steel and aluminum and a 4-percent duty on imports of brass scrap. Until May 8, India levied no import duties for any of these scrap metals. In a note sent to its members, the Metal Recycling Association of India (MRAI) said it was shocked and disappointed with the implementation of the duties. ....

nope, not a big tattoo guy. Just been a year since I have been translating and such and trying to see if I am still on course.
Plus everyone knows if I wanted a tattoo it would say Molon Labe with an American flag and 2 riffles shooting down the red plague of socialism!
so... would Πάντα ερώτα, μάνθανε τι, μηδέν αποκρίνου be the most proper way to write the uncited Euripidean quote of "Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing"?
and to make it more accurate, would one have to capitalize it all with no spaces or accents?

Ah, A gyro! I thought I'd never get good Greek food again after I moved out of Astoria. But it turns out that there are some decent Greek restaurants and even one excellent one here on the West side of the Hudson...
Thanks for the welcome! I can't contribute much on classical Greek, but am a real fan of Greek music and food - born and raised in "Little Athens" (Astoria, NY), and lived there until my mid-30s....
Are there any other Greek or Greek-inspired musicians out there?

How are you. Sorry I did not introduce myself earlier, when I joined. AOM and on-line activities keep taking a back seat to work.
I am a "Hellene".The last name might put you off its literally Θωμάς
Im glad you put up this site. I took ancient an ancient Greek class many many moons ago. Just want to read and brush up (or relearn really). Times the biggest factor. The church I attend is in 100% Koine/Byzantine greek, except the father will give the sermon in demotic and english.
Lately I've been preparing for professional practice examinations in engineering. Taking up most of my free study and reading time.
How long have you been studying greek? Im glad you put the group on the site!

Mary and Tom's Hip & Historic Haven
House Tour
Name: Mary Visconti and Tom Caldwell
Location: the Loop — Chicago, Illinois
Size: 2,000 square feet
Years lived in: 4 — Owned
As a lifelong Chicagoan, I've often been curious about the Manhattan Building, the 1891 landmark that's the city's oldest surviving steel frame building. Designed by William Le Baron Jenney, the 16-story historic skyscraper features gorgeous bay windows and a prime view of the Harold Washington Library. Unsurprisingly then, I was pretty excited to see one of the apartments inside and even more excited when I saw Mary and Tom's stunning, art- and book-filled home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Contemporary with heavy mid-20th century design influences. We drool over completely spare spaces featured in design magazines, but we live here and work here and have a 13-year old cat miss jackson with "issues" and a big library and a big vinyl/78rpm collection and a lot of big pieces by local artists. Totally spare is heavenly in theory, but not totally realizable for us in practice. And spare precludes or at least inhibits eclecticism, which we like. We have some really expensive pieces, and we have other things we "gleaned" from yard sales, thrift stores, and trash piles.
Inspiration: In print, we're really inspired by Dwell as well as books on both domestic and commercial architects/architecture. On line, we love Apartment Therapy, of course !, and Design Sponge. In life, we draw a lot of inspiration from the architecturally amazing city in which we live. We reside in an historic building the Manhattan Building in the Printers Row neighborhood and are surrounded by masterpieces like the Monadnock and the Rookery, but are also a stone's throw from amazing new buildings and spaces like Piano's modern wing at the Art Institute and Gehry's band shell in Millennium Park. Tom is also a docent at Wright's Robie House, which is inspiring every single time you walk into it.
Favorite Element: Tom: Random Bookshelves by MDF Italia. Mary: Our lighting--the three Castiglioni-designed Flos lamps, the Arco, the orange Nesso Artemide lamps, the two Flos Glo-Ball T lamps, the black standing lamp with the "shut up shade" and the big wacky nature shade in the office. I love lighting! If we had the room, we'd love to have the Fortuny lamp. It's just too big. And it has a crazy big price tag!
Biggest Challenge: The kitchen and the bathrooms, which also serve as the biggest embarrassments. They are such big and expensive projects, and we've just ignored them really. It's hard to know where to start, how to segment off discreet projects, how to work on the small stuff while awaiting the winning lottery ticket that would allow us to do the big stuff. We're also challenged by the mirrored closet doors and walls in the front entranceway. We hate them, but don't know quite what to do with them. Rip everything out, replaster, repaint and get new closet doors? Wallpaper over the whole thing? Paint? A mesh metal curtain? We've considered all of these options, but have decided on nothing to date.
What Friends Say: I can't believe you got such a big space in an historic building in the loop! We really did luck out on the size. People also comment on our classic pieces--the Arco, the womb chair, the Noguchi coffee table, the Bertoia chairs--and the artwork, most of which is by Chicago artists.
Biggest Embarrassment: See "Biggest Challenge" section above! The embarrassment within the embarrassment is the "Broadway" style lights framing the mirrors in not one, but both bathrooms. Of course, the hideous beige berber carpet in the master and guest bedrooms is hardly a source of pride ... Ditto on the track lighting that we've yet to remove.
Proudest DIY: All of the bookshelves except the Random are DIY from our graduate school days. We would actually really like to either replace them with some cool shelving/modular storage pieces from BO Concept or get some custom pieces made ... And we can include the fireplace surround here, too, though it wasn't totally DIY. When we moved in, it was more crazy mirroring. Inspired by a friend's fireplace, we removed all the mirrors and worked with a really talented local artisan named Jan Sopoci who created what we have now out of rolled steel. It's Jan's prideful piece, but we really love it.
Biggest Indulgence: The wall mounted TV "cabinet" and shelving unit elevenfive by MDF Italia. The Athos sideboard by B&B Italia was a close second. The amazing series of photographs by a local artist Kyle Brumfield is right up there, too.
Best Advice: Be patient and invest in the really awesome pieces that you really love. For us, the most beautiful things--the Arco lamp, the Noguchi coffee table, the Saarinen womb chair, the B&B sideboard--just effuse this amazing energy within the space and help "hide" the less-than-radiant elements that we have to wait to replace.
Dream Sources: The showrooms at Luminaire and the model kitchens at McDufee Design both here in Chicago.

LOVE all the books. Thank you! Love the myriad of bookcases! Excellent!
The entirety is beautiful, the books tell me interesting, thoughtful people live there.
(Also love the Michael Apted Up Series dvds. I'm there.)
Very cool mix of styles, art, and book. Where did you get the couch pillows? And Mary--I love your boots! Where did you get those (I know that question doesn't belong here...)
Wow. I love, love, love all of the books and art. They really liven the place up. And, can I say that I am jealous of the fabulous lighting? I really am. Oh, and I also love the paint color in the bedroom and dining area.
Love the big art!
Who started the "love, love, love" thing? I don't think there is an AT post where someone doesn't "love, love, love" something. What's wrong with just one "love"? Why is it never two or four "loves", but always three? Can anyone help me out here, I just want to understand.
What a great place! Love the Random bookcases (can't believe I haven't seen those before!), and I'm lusting over your Heywood-Wakefield pieces. What a score!
I also love the placement of the Arco lamp: It's an archway into another room--style, lighting and architecture in one product. Most photos I've seen of this lamp tuck the stand in an almost hidden place, but this placement really makes the most of the piece.
Love it. The books and the artwork give such character to the mid-century design. It's just a little random, a little overstuffed. It gives great visual interest to what could have been a very run of the mill tour.
I especially enjoy that paper doll art in the living room.
Lovely place. How do y'all afford such amazing things (and space) on grant writer salaries??!!
I give it Five Loves.
Your place rocks. Amazing color, art and lighting and you both have just wonderfully eclectic, interesting taste. I could just kill for the Random bookshelf and a Womb Chair. These pieces really are worth the investment if you can manage it. I hope I can someday. Great work, and thanks for letting us into your world!
This is honestly the coolest apartment I have ever seen. I want it to be mine! Those bookshelves and the arched floor lamp are my favorites!
epindc: Thanks for the lovely comments re our place. All the comments are SO gratifying (big thanks to all), and we appreciate so v. much. We were in a panic the night before Kathleen arrived, cleaning and fretting the not-so-hot elements and wondering if we were really "AT worthy"! As for the awesome Guidi boots, I got them at a super cool boutique here in Chicago-Robin Richman. Quite a splurge ... If I hadn't bought them, I might have been able to remodel the bathroom (joke-sort of). Cheers, MV
Really nice pad! I'm totally digging the closet full of vinyl. And I'd die to have an orange Nesso lamp! You guys have really great taste.
One of the most interesting and inspiring art collections I have seen here on AT.
Such a nice paintings~♡
AT-worthy? This is gorgeous, and I love the bookcases. What is the blue paint you used for your walls? It backgrounds the bright colors and artwork perfectly.
And yes, I'm also envious of these beautiful furnishings and art banked by writing salaries. I'm a writer and.... sigh. Maybe someday!
I'm so desperate for those bookcases! Amazing!
Love it esp. Derek Erdman artworks, bookshelves inc. DIY ones, Orange touches- great! Thanks for sharing
Can't believehe bookshelves are DIY from their graduate school days!! Great appartment!!
AT you guys seriously need to change the coding in your software for links to open up in a different window/tab.
Am I the only one who finds a larger-than-life image of a child in underwear a strange choice for a living room....?
I need that bookcase... :)
saucefiend- yup.
Not my personal taste, but as an apartment that reflects the obvious preferences of its owners I love it. I'm sure that if I visited, I would enjoy the ambience.
Yup nice stuff, but I have no feel what soever of the space or spaces. and the kitchen? I guess there are rooms we are no allowed to see.
Since the building is apparently so famous, it would have been nice to see a photo of it, as some of us have never heard of it. The inside is lovely too tho!
Great style. And you better believe I'll be checking out Robin Richman! Those boots.......
Wow...almost speechless! One fraction of a word: FAB!
Thanks for sharing your wonderful space!
Great space. I especially like the Hey-Wake. I had the opportunity to aquire some nice pieces years ago and passed. Le sigh, regrets...regrets. What paint Brand/Color are the walls. It looks to me like just the perfect shade of blue-grey I'm looking for. Please advise.
Fantastic space. Your design choices are beautifully edited and placed. I have an idea for your kitchen...you can do a 'quick-fix' by removing the cabinet doors, sanding and repainting the face frames, and replacing the doors with simple painted frames with opaque glass insets. You can also alternate with metal mesh inserts. Exposed side panels can be covered with paint, or be creative with surfacing -- white board, chalk paint, metal sheeting, even a funky colored/textured styrene cut to size.
Love the Gus*Modern sofa. I have the Jane and am nuts over it.
*caroylnapplebee: The "Paper Doll" piece is by a local artist named Derek Erdman. When he was making this series some years ago he also did a big Angela Davis head, and I am kicking myself for not getting it. His work is VERY reasonable.
*epindc: I ordered the couch pillows, which are by notneutral, from Design Public.
*Clank1969, MarshallO & ProfKD: I started my grant writing and development consulting biz here in Chicago 10 years ago, and Tom joined me in it just this year. I have developed a good, steady client base, but we're far from rich. Units in our building are suprisingly reasonable, and a real glaring omission in my "advice" section above was to Never Pay Full Price! We waited out the womb chair for Luminaire's annual Knoll sale; all the DWR pieces were on sale when we got them; I scored both of the Bertoia chairs at charity auctions for a song; the Artefort chairs, the cork stools, and the glass office door were all floor samples; we scored the Nesso lamps at 75% off when our beloved Marshall Fields on State Street sold its soul to Macys; and several pieces were thrift store acquisitions. The biggest deals were the Heywood pieces. All but the Kohinoor chest were from one seller on ebay. She had listed the dining table (which came with 2 drop leaves and original pads) and chairs and the dresser (all 8 pieces for less than $1K), but when we went to pick them up, I spotted the bedside tables and TV table, and she sold me those for like $100 a piece. Only violation of the never pay full price policy were the Guidi boots (still feeling guilty, but still loving them intensely). The elevenfive, B&B sideboard and Brumfield photographs were exceptions, too, but we saved up/spaced out the purchases, and Carl Hammer Gallery (best gallery in Chicago, in my opinion) allowed me to pay in installments on the Brumfield. That's good advice, too-Don't think you can't afford great contmeporary art; most galleries will allow installment payments.
*ProKD and others: We used three different shades of gray paint throughout. Light gray in bathrooms and kitchen, medium in bedrooms and office, and darkest in dining and living rooms. The cans are in the basement, but Tom is going to go check the brand/color names this afternoon, and I'll post that info tomorrow.
Very beautiful.
what a wonderful hip environment you have created! i love the use of color you chose for the walls, and your choice of art work is very interesting. great style! great mood! well done!
I love your apartment! I am looking for large art pieces like yours and live in Chicago. Can you share the artist of the colorful piece in your dining room and orange piece in your living room...I am having a hard time finding it on the internet. What gallery were these from?
o! mary & tom! how i love your home! the colours! the books! the controlled chaos! it's clear, like the fist poster said, that some thoughtful folks live here. what a rich and interesting space.
i have two questions though? with 2000 square feet, why put a bicycle next to a bed?
and what the hell is that object on the stone placed freud-like between the cut-out child's legs!? for god's sake, put it somewhere else!
love, a fellow stay-at-home grantwriter with a Special Needs cat.
oh ps, i LOVE your "big wacky nature shade", but couldn't find it on the site listed.
Nice to see book/LP hoarders on here. Real art too. Most of all nice to see some color. Though i hate the whole gray thing the walls are a nice back drop the for the colors and textures. I'm waiting for my invitation to listen to records, talk books and check out that deco dresser first hand. I'll bring the beer.
Inspiring shelving.
*To everyone who asked about the paint: We used Benjamin Moore "Boulder Gray" (dining room, office and bedrooms) and Ralph Lauren "Silver Cuff" (entrance way and living room).
*Jack 17 re the art in dining and living rooms: Perhaps one of the most gratifying questions, as these two pieces were created by none other than Tom Caldwell, co-owner of the hip and historic haven! No gallery representation and not for sale! If you are looking for some big pieces, I would recommend going to the twice annual Student Show at the Art Institute of Chicago. I went last year, and they had some amazing stuff at very good prices.
*darlingclementine re the bike, the odd object on the cork stool and the wacky nature shade: I had my bike in the storage room downstairs, but moved it up for the summer, as getting it in and out of our building's bike room (you have to lift the 100 pound vintage bike to get the front tire in the vertical rack) is challenging. If it weren't for the massive vinyl collection, we I could store it in the "Cave of Solitude" along with Tom's bike. Yes, the blue object is rather phallic; it's a B&O telephone. Tom is insisting on moving it now! We bought the wacky nature shade at ID Chicago about four years ago, and it was a floor sample. I cannot find the name of the co. that produced it on the shade. If you're really interested, you could call the shop and inquire.
THANKS again, all! MV
Great job, guys - I've always envied having a view of the owls at the corners of the library. About 10 years ago, when the Fisher building went apartment, we were tempted to move in there...finally made it all the way to the loop at Michigan/Madison in the old Montgomery Wards building and it's great. Although I don't have a view of the library, there's no shortage of architectural views, along with a slice of the lake from my desk. My favorite on your tour is the cat sitting in the chair, looking out the window....love all the stuffed animals.
great space..inspiring
Really lovely job! Really nice mix of high end and thrift.
Love the large abstract art. Nice job.
Beautiful furniture (especially all the Hey-Wake) and interesting art arranged carefully. M&T, thanks for sharing.

Power of Promise Breakfast
Salute to Volunteerism in Girl Scouting
HOUSTON (Nov 17, 2008) On Tuesday, November 12, more than 200 people came together at the annual Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council (GSSJC) Power of a Promise Breakfast to hear inspirational stories of how volunteering with Girl Scouts impacts lives. Sharon M. Owens, vice resident of Community Relations and Business Development for CenterPoint Energy, served as chair of the event for the second consecutive year.
This year's invitees heard stories and memories from three guests who have been impacted by or have served as a Girl Scout volunteer. This year's speakers were Evelyn Vittone, Girl Scout volunteer and board member; Danielle Rutherford, Girl Scout Ambassador, Troop #5496 and Charles Moger, Girl Scout Volunteer.
Vittone shared one of her favorite memories of being a Girl Scout as a girl, drinking the juice of an orange through a peppermint stick. Each guest was provided an orange and peppermint stick in a "goodie" bag to try it. Vittone reminisced about how her family bonded through Girl Scout activities. She has held several positions with the San Jacinto Council over the years but is known for her commitment to the girls.
Rutherford had an extraordinary experience to share. After having been taught by her troop leader the importance of being a sister to every other Girl Scout and the importance of living life that exemplifies the Girl Scout Promise and Law, she and her troop were devastated by the death of their troop leader. As Rutherford recited the Girl Scout Promise and Law, she trembled to hold back the emotions that flooded her. For each line of this historic doctrine, she was able to relate it to how her beloved troop leader encouraged and imparted wisdom that she now know she could not have gotten any where but through Girl Scouts.
Moger is the widowed father of four. He was left with the insurmountable task of raising his children by himself when wife lost her life while giving birth. After briefly pausing to collect himself, he told guests how he began his adventure as a widowed father. He is now a faithful Girl Scout volunteer who helps his daughter's troop bake cake from scratch secretly teaching them math skills along the way. He is affectionately called Daddy-Mom by his youngest, who said that he is both a mom and dad in one.
Girl Scouts of the USA is the world's preeminent organization for girls, with a membership of more than 3.5 million girls and adults. Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Chartered by GSUSA to provide Girl Scouting locally, Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council is one of the largest Girl Scout councils in the country serving more than 64,000 girl members and 18,000 adults in 26 southeast Texas counties. For more information call 1-800-392-4340 or visit www.gssjc.org
GSSJC Pluralism Statement
Embracing and promoting pluralism is an integral part of every activity and plan of Girl Scouts of San Jacinto Council, not disconnected or separate projects. Only individuals willing to accept and be educated about the basic tenet that Girl Scouting is for all girls may serve in volunteer leadership or staff positions.

Small Space Dinner Party: Creative Options
Loving Living Small
When you have a dining room, throwing a dinner party is a no brainer. Set the table and you're done with it. But, when you have no dining room, your kitchen's tiny and your living room is your only option, you've got to great creative (see How to Fit a Dining Room Into a Small Space). Which is exactly what Loving Living Small did when she threw a dinner party!
- Let the coffee table double as the dining table. Guests can make themselves comfortable on the couch or sit on the floor.
- Instead of crowding the table with bottles, set up drinks at a convenient spot nearby. Ice and glasses mean that guests can help themselves.
- A folding table or an ottoman with a tray on it can hold extra food (or a panini press!)
- Go vertical: use a tiered serving piece, stack cake stands or improvise by stacking plates and glasses.
- For a "sit down" dinner party, keep the guest list small enough that everyone has a spot to sit.
- Consider fork dinners that don't require a knife if you worried that some of the guests may have to eat from their laps.
- Use cloth napkins. If food spills, cloth will catch food and prevent a disaster better than paper.
For more of her tips, see Loving Living Small | small space panini party.

How to Fit a Dining Room Into a Small Space
4 Comments
When I have my housewarming party, I plan on going tapas style, but a panini party sounds fun, too! I have a dining table large enough for 8, but my dining room is much to small for it - the leaf is in my closet and it's pushed up against the wall to make walking room so you can get to the rest of the apartment. It will probably work for 4 people, but not any more than that. Great post! Using the coffee table looks so cozy!
Or take it outside to a deck if you're lucky enough to have one and be in a warm clime.
One thing not mentioned is not everyone has to sit right next to each other. Here I have a combination of seating - four people can sit at the kitchen table, two more can fit at the breakfast bar, and depending on if it's children or adults 2-3 people could easily eat sitting on the floor at our coffee table. Sometimes conversations flow better when everyone is crowded in one spot.
@davebarnes: ;-)
Yes, small children occupy less space when they are still. They occupy far more space when they are moving (and they are always moving), and tend to leave marks -- on walls, on floors, on the host, on the cat...

ATLANTA (AP) -- Executives at Atlanta's airport say they are widening a runway and making other preparations for the world's biggest passenger jet to begin making flights to and from South Korea.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport officials say Korean Air plans to begin daily service between Atlanta and Seoul with its super jumbo jet as early as January 2013.
The Airbus A380 is a double-decker aircraft that seats more than 400 passengers. Airport officials say there are plans to include cocktail lounges and duty-free shops on the planes.
In addition to widening taxiways and a runway, airport officials say they are modifying two adjacent gates on Concourse E so they can simultaneously serve the giant aircraft.
