Adam Steinberg
• Tenth year as Head Men's Tennis Coach
• Led the team to their first ever National Championship Team Title in 2006
• 2006 NCAA Coach of the Year
Upon his hiring as head coach prior to the 2002-03 season, Adam Steinberg told Pepperdine Director of Athletics Dr. John Watson that he could turn the men's tennis team into national champions. In just four seasons, Steinberg stayed true to his word.
Steinberg is now in his tenth year as head coach at Pepperdine. In 2010-11, Steinberg established himself as part of an elite group of coaches. His 2006 Waves won the national championship and in eight years he has an overall record of 176-61 (.743) along with eight West Coast Conference championships and eight NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2006, he was named the National Coach of the Year by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, and he is a five-time WCC Coach of the Year.
During the 2007 season, his fifth, he moved into second place among Pepperdine's men's tennis coaches in career victories. He trails only Allen Fox's 367 wins, which came over the course of 17 seasons.
Each of his last six teams has finished in top 25 in the ITA national rankings, and all eight of his squads have ended up in the top 30.
His players at Pepperdine have been named All-Americans 13 times and have been All-WCC first team selections 21 times in singles and 12 times in doubles. A Pepperdine student-athlete has been named WCC Player of the Year in each of his eight seasons.
In 18 years as a head coach, which includes previous stops at St. John's and Alabama, his overall record is 306-140 (.686).
Steinberg's first two Pepperdine teams reached the NCAA Tournament's second round. He also produced two All-Americans in Diego Acuna and Calle Hansen in 2003, while in 2004, Pedro Rico earned the honors in singles as a sophomore.
In 2005, Steinberg led the Waves to the quarterfinals in College Station, Texas, and ended the season with a #8 final ranking. Rico and Scott Doerner earned their first All-America honors in doubles after ending the season ranked #2.
The 2006 championship began with the freshmen he brought in for the 2002-03 season. Steinberg developed those young players and recruited more talent to the squad over time, and the result was the program's first NCAA title.
After earning an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament with its 16th consecutive West Coast Conference title, Pepperdine began its magnificent tournament run. The Waves picked up wins over Montana State and TCU in the first two rounds of action in Malibu, then traveled north to Stanford to continue their title hopes. Steinberg guided his team to wins over Florida in the Sweet 16 and defending national champion UCLA in the Elite Eight.
The Waves then avenged their only two losses during the regular season in the final two matches of the tournament. Pepperdine beat Texas in the semifinals after losing to the Longhorns in April. In the championship match, Andre Begemann's win at the fourth singles position clinched the Waves' 4-2 upset victory over previously undefeated Georgia. The Bulldogs had beaten the Waves 4-0 on Feb. 20 at the National Indoor Championships.
With a record of 36-2, it marked a NCAA record for most wins in a season by a championship team. Steinberg's #1 doubles team, Doerner and Begemann, were runner-up in the NCAA Doubles Championships and were named All-Americans. Doerner also earned All-America honors in singles after finishing the year ranked at #14.
Doerner, Rico, Ivor Lovrak and Kevin Borzenski ended their collegiate tennis careers as national champions with the Waves. Lovrak, a transfer in 2005, went an incredible 24-1 playing at the #3 singles position his senior year and was named the Most Outstanding Performer of the NCAA Tournament.
Because of Pepperdine's success, Steinberg was named the ITA National Coach of the Year after earning the ITA West Region Coach of the Year just weeks earlier. Steinberg also was named the WCC Coach of the Year for the second straight season.
The 2007 squad went 23-8 overall and Steinberg directed the squad to a second-round finish in the NCAA Tournament.
The 2008 Waves had another strong year, going 20-7 overall, winning the school's 18th consecutive WCC title, reaching the NCAA's Round of 16 and finishing with a #12 national ranking. Begemann and Bassam Beidas were named All-Americans after reaching the semifinals and the quarterfinals of the NCAA singles tournament, respectively. Steinberg earned WCC co-Coach of the Year honors.
Steinberg was again WCC Coach of the Year in 2009 as the Waves went 20-10 and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and a #18 final ranking. Omar Altmann was an All-American in singles after making it to the NCAA Round of 16, and he and Beidas won the award in doubles after reaching the NCAA quarterfinals.
The 2010 season was another fine one as Pepperdine went 17-11 overall, reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament and had a final ranking of #21. Steinberg was named WCC Coach of the Year for the fifth time and Beidas earned All-American honors for the third straight year.
Steinberg came to Pepperdine from Alabama, where he was the head coach from 1998-2002 and posted a record of 69-57 (.548). Steinberg took the Crimson Tide to their first-ever NCAA appearance in his first season. The 1999 squad advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, and he guided Francisco Rodriguez to All-American status and a #5 national ranking, the school's highest-ranked player ever. In his final season, 2002, Alabama posted a 15-8 record and tied for second place in the SEC West Division. The Tide notched wins over #8 Kentucky and #12 Auburn before earning a #18 ranking in the year's final national poll.
Looking to further his coaching career, Steinberg was at Northwestern for two seasons as an assistant coach under Paul Torricelli. During Steinberg's second season (1997), the Wildcats won the Big Ten title, competed in the NCAA Tournament and had a final national ranking of #25.
Just two years removed from his playing days, Steinberg was named the head coach at St. John's University, and he served as head coach there from 1991-95. In his five years with the Red Storm, Steinberg compiled an impressive dual-match record of 61-22 (.735) and led the program to a Big East title in 1991. St. John's captured second-place finishes in 1993, 1994 and 1995. He was an assistant coach at St. John's for the 1989-90 season.
A native New Yorker, Steinberg played his college tennis at Penn State, where he served as team captain his senior year. He stayed on at Penn State for the 1988-89 season in order to serve as a student assistant for the Nittany Lions while completing his bachelor's degree in marketing.
He and his wife, Casey, reside in Malibu. They have a daughter, Mia.
Nick Carless
Nick Carless will run the adult weekend camps. He begins his sixth season at Pepperdine in 2011-12, and his fifth as a full-time assistant coach. He was a volunteer assistant coach for the Pepperdine men's tennis team that won the NCAA championship in 2006, and then returned to Malibu in September 2007.

Program Overview
For the past 22 years, ELS has been perfecting the language camp experience in one of their most popular programs – the Malibu Youth Camp! The Nike Tennis and ELS Language program are held on the same campus of Pepperdine University, and as such it makes it easy to bridge these two programs together. Because this is a combined language and sport program, ELS and Nike Sport camp staff will oversee camper transition between the two programs.
Campers may mix and match the number of language and tennis sessions they want, but the language programs must start on either June 29 or July 6th. We recommend a minimum of two weeks of language with the ELS Malibu Camp - just because we know it is so fun! Each Nike Tennis session starts on a Sunday (check-in from 1-3PM) and ends on a Friday afternoon at 3:30PM. The last overnight Nike Tennis session starts on July 27, 2014.
Students attending the language program will have 15 lessons (each lesson is 50-minute) per week in the mornings. The language classes are followed by lunch and supervised on-campus activities which include sports, games and events with American teens. Students will also participate in late afternoon and evening activities which include shopping, bowling, and scavenger hunts. Supervised full-day excursions include a Los Angeles City Tour, trips to Six Flags Magic Mountain® – voted best roller coaster park in the world, and the ever popular Universal Studios Hollywood® with its awe-inspiring rides, shows, and a real working movie studio. For a detailed informational package on the ELS program, including the daily schedule, please click here.
Our Nike Tennis Camp are open to kids 8-18 of all skill levels, however, we are also offer three specialized sessions in 2014.
- High School Training: July 20 (The high school session is specifically designed for players currently on their high school team and wanting to move up their team ladder or those trying to make a high school team.)
- Tournament Training Camp: July 27 (The tournament training program is geared towards tournament level and ranked players looking to improve their tournament results, learn winning strategies, and work on mental toughness.)
Our Nike Tennis camp program begins at 8:00am each day for all campers and will consist of morning drills and instruction and afternoon match play. Camp instruction ends at 4:45pm, except on check-in and check-out days. In addition, to tennis instruction, a flighted tournament will be held each session with a trophy presentation.(See below.)
Logistics and Travel: The Nike Tennis and ELS Language program are held on the same campus of Pepperdine University, and as such it makes it easy to bridge these two programs together. Because this is a combined language and sport program, ELS and Nike Sport camp staff will oversee camper transition between the two programs. During the language program, students will reside with ELS staff on the Pepperdine campus. During the Nike Sports Program, campers will stay with Nike Staff on the Pepperdine campus.
ELS will be responsible for airport transfers on the way to camp. Nike Sport Camp will handle the transfers on the departure. All airport transfers are included in your tuition. Campers are asked to arrive on the start date of camp and depart on the last date of camp.

Our daughter, Casey, had an amazing experience! She is a good athlete who now can't wait to get back on the courts to keep hitting tennis balls. She wants to go back to the camp next summer for as many weeks as our schedule will allow. The staff did an amazing job providing enough instruction with the right amount of FUN! Thank you!

The Age of Enlighteneers

seattle theme by parker ehret
So new year means new sketchbook and new scribbles. Here are just a couple of ideas I've been working on and off with. You will probably be seeing these guys much more.
The heading comes from this very good book here. However, a really good place to start if you're just getting into Native American history is Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. Or better yet, pick up something by N. Scott Momaday and just go wild; he's got a large body of work to choose from.
Another sketch dump. I love baroque clothing, it's so fun to do because of all the FRILLS and RIBBONS. The epitome of manliness was to look good in ruffles and tights. Hell yes. Louis XIV was so kooky, too, it's hard to take him seriously. I think he might show up again later ;]
A few ink profiles of some French Revolution characters from my travel-size sketchbook. Gawd, there was WonderCon, road trip, cousin's wedding; man, April was busy @.@ But now that I finally have some downtime to myself, I have already started a few more comics! I think I'll probably try to put one up every week. Or once every two weeks. Actually, don't take my word for that, my word is pretty shoddy sometimes

KINGDOM has been putting dance floors in ecstatic trances for many years. He joins us during pride in Palm Springs at HANDS ON, as DJ Day's special ¡Reunión! guest. Catch him from 10pm til late on Thursday in the Amigo Room at Ace Hotel & Swim Club, and get to know him a little better below.
What's inspiring you at the moment?
I just moved to LA a year ago from Brooklyn, this place is inspiring me, the climate, the mountains, the ocean, and also my crew here (Nguzunguzu & Total Freedom) inspire me a lot. Recently we did a Fade to Mind showcase in Mexico City and feeling that city for the first time was also great.
What are you working on right now?
I have a lot of new music out there at the moment! My songs Take Me and If You Buckare out now, and my next EP Dreama will be out November 22nd. Also my label Fade to Mind will be releasing NYC-based Ballroom/Vogue producer MikeQ's debut EP November 21st. We will be celebrating both releases with a huge party in LA at Los Globos on the 18th.
On that note, join us for a free screening of PARIS IS BURNING, a 1990s documentary about NYC Ballroom and Vogueing culture — screening Friday night at 8:30pm at HANDS ON.

I agree, always loved fist weapons (and they make a lot more sense than swords/axes/maces when it comes to ninjas).
SillyString said...
They're underrated as a weapon, period. I love claw- and katar-style fist weapons, elegant and vicious. Two of my favorite game characters are favorites mainly because they specialize in them (Zhang He in the DW games, and Vega in SF). I'd roll a Rogue right now if they made some good top-level fist weapons and a few more lower-level ones that weren't a pain to get.
@SillyString There's these *wicked* fist weapons that drop off trash in Hyjal for Shamans that look, to quote my friend, like you punch lava and it stuck to your hand That kinda stuff is hard to come by, though the 'Fist of Subtlety' model from mid-level Northrend is also nice if you're going for big and not-so-subtle.

The Dodgers affiliate completed the four-game sweep of the South Division rivals. The lone bright spot this road trip has been Raimel Tapia, who extended his club-record hitting streak to 29 games. The 19-year-old Dominican product picked up two hits and is the league's leading hitter at .384. The first half division champs have lost eight of their nine games and fall to 0-2 in the second half of the season.

Dak Juk: (Almost Spring) Chicken Congee
Mar 14th, 2010 by Yoko
I've been on a Korean cuisine kick lately. I think it has a lot to do with living near an HMart– we've been buying lots of ingredients to make Korean recipes, with delicious success. It also helps that the salespeople often offer free samples while shopping so that you can try before you buy.
I don't know much about cooking Korean food, so Lipby kindly bought me a cookbook for my birthday, in which I've tried some of the recipes so far. I've also been reading Maangchi's food blog and watching her entertaining videos.
I used her recipe for Dak Juk (jook, also known as congee or okayu, with chicken) here. I had thought I bought a package of cut-up whole chicken, but had mistakenly bought a package of whole chicken legs. It turned out just fine. I also used slightly less garlic than called for in her recipe, also because I didn't buy enough. The garlic is what makes the dish– the cloves will melt into the jook and flavor it. I also added a couple knobs, unpeeled, of ginger, just for some contrasting flavor.
And do make the dipping sauce for the chicken– it's addictive.
This was just like making homemade chicken soup, with an Asian twist. Americans have chicken soup when they're feeling under the weather, and Asians have congee, so this is the best of both worlds.

AT On: Laundry Day
We don't appreciate the importance of cleaning in our daily lives until the mess gets really out of hand. We've had a laundry issue lately that's threatened to overtake our home...
Since moving into our new apartment, we haven't been able to do any laundry. There's a combination lock to the laundry room, and we haven't gotten the code from our landlord or our neighbors. It's caused a lot of stress as we try to get our new place together in between piles of dirty clothes. Yesterday we drove a car full of laundry to my mother-in-law's house. Just doing a few loads made a huge difference in our stress level at home.
Our laundry issue has helped us realize how important cleaning is to keeping the chaos at bay. The daily ritual of wiping down surfaces, doing a load of laundry, and taking out the trash is crucial to keeping a healthy home, and when you don't have that system in order, things start to fall apart.
We're wondering: what types of messes have accumulated and infringed on your healthy home-life?
28 Comments
This is how I feel about the kitchen! If the kitchen is a mess my head is a mess--if it is clean I could be knee deep in clutter and I would feel sane.
The first thing I do when I move is make everything perfect in the kitchen--I even hang the curtain!
I have a hard time managing clean laundry -- shirts that need ironing and folded clothes that need to be put away. This is a clue that I have too many unworn "painting t-shirts" and ill-fitting "someday when I'm thinner" jeans in my drawers.
Really, you would do laundry every day if you could?
how do you take the laundry bags out?
Yep, I'm with Kimg924; clean laundry takes over. Usually by the time I finish doing laundry at night, I'm too tired to deal with it so I leave it in the basket for 'later'.
Also, dry food storage. My roomates eat on tons of packaged food items that overflow the pantry cabinet purchased to hold it all (4 types of chips, 4 types of bread, 3 things of cookies..all half eaten). Therefore, they get left out on top the microwave and other places and clutter up the design of the space. And they wonder why we have ants...
Laundry has become my new thorn in my side. I actually like doing laundry, but hate dragging it up and down the stairs of my walk-up. Thankfully the laundromat's just up on the corner and it's big and clean, but they recently built a HUGE development in my neighborhood that brought an influx of families that need to do laundry! My local laundromat can no longer handle the amount of people that live here. As it is, I now get up at 5:30 am on Sunday mornings to do laundry, and it's STILL busy in there. (And for the first time in my life, I'm getting in arguments with other people there over machines, etc.) I've come to dread doing laundry ... I barely get it done early Sunday, then I'm so annoyed and tired by the time I get back home that it ends up sitting around my apartment for a couple of days before I put it away. NOT my usual routine at all! Folding laundry and putting it away used to actually be a real stress reliever for me!
I'm the same way kimg924, I always have a problem with putting up (hanging, folding, ironing, etc) the clean laundry.
It always manages to get thrown in a clothes-basket so
I can take it back to my bedroom to fold, but I get sidetracked typically and it just sits there until I want to wear something. This creates a lot of clutter and I end up washing things more than necessary. I have never been good and focused at doing the laundry, anyone have some tips????
Sad to say, our bedroom is the place that is always "I'm in over my head" messy- not good, since we start and end our days there!
I have taken steps towards making the bed every morning. But our big problem in clothes being left on the floor, instead of always being put in their place. When I do a big cleanup before company comes over, I always intend to take care of the bedroom, but more often than not we tend to skip it and keep the door shut.
I realized how bad it was when I was showing my best friend the new setup in our bedroom and she remarked that it was the first time she'd seen my room... and I've lived there since August!
This is my exact same issue. I moved a couple of months ago, and haven't been able to get caught up on laundry since. I don't have much of an excuse... the laundromat is next door, and I live on the first floor. On the weekends I am always torn... should I tackle another unpacking project, or get caught up on laundry. Pffft.
I just bite the bullet - get up early on Saturday or Sunday morning, go down to the laundry rooom and get it done. Usually, no one is down there so I can use as many machines as I need to. When I was single, I used to wash my clothes every 2 to 3 weeks but now I have someone to nag me about it so weekly loads are a necessity. Not only because I want to have marital bliss but our dirty clothes will take over my closet.
As far as the folding - I have tons of retail experience so whipping through a few loads of laundry is nothing compared to clipboard folding t-shirts at Banana Republic.
Now if we had a washer dryer in our apartment it would take me all day to complete 3 loads. So I do consider myself lucky to have a big laundry facility in our building.
There are two messes taking over my home life and driving me crazy: first is an enormous pile of clothing, electronics, luggage, etc. that has to be shipped out to donation centres. We're not done going through the closets yet to complete this pile, so the stuff we've already sorted just sits there. And sits there. And sits there. It takes up so much space and looks so messy!
And then there's the worst yet: recycling. My town is now on a two-week recycling rotation: paper/cardboard one week, cans/plastics/glass the next. And if you screw up and put the paper out on plastic night? Well you're tough out of luck and have to wait even longer, thus resulting in another two weeks' worth stacking up! We're in a very tiny apartment and it's really stressing me out trying to find the space to stash away these separate recyclables in an unobtrusive way. There has to be some solution!
Kittystockings...I dont know if this is a possibility for you, but for paper like junk mail and such, keep a separate 'trash' bin (lined with a paper bag) either in the office space or at your landing strip. I use and oblong shape rather than circular to fit the paper in better. For heavier stuff like magazines and newspaper, I just keep them neatly in the various racks (side table, bedside table, bathroom) until the night before they go out then I got around and gather them all up. Another possible option is to take small amounts to work with you for recycling. Sometimes I open my mail in my car and then just take it into work with me and recycle it there.
kittystockings - i have the same problem here, outside boston! only our town is a bit lamer, and if you put out the wrong recycling batch, they toss it in the garbage truck. boo! all that sorting for nothing!
I love the table that they have- most laundry "solutions" have the baskets, but there's a lot of us with folding issues, which this table would help with. Now if only it had a bar for hanging items! My blouses always end up slung over the dining room chairs.
Ridge van winkle - I can't believe the development didn't build their own laundry facility. weird. But then I considered that perhaps they did - but they priced the coin op too high so the residents opt for the laundrymat.
I'd go picket the development and make them install washers and dryers!!
as for the Restoration Hardware laundry station... I stared at it for a while and I figure that you just pull the bars of the bags up - angle them and drop them down. Otherwise I don't know. Would make more sense if they slide out the ends - but there are bars there.
I have one possibly helpful tip for those who are having a hard time folding/hanging up clean clothes. I used to have this exact same problem, but I found a way to make it easier. I have found that it is easier to fold/hang clean clothes if you do it in the living room while watching tv. I don't watch much tv at all, but I do have one show that I like to watch every week. When my laundry is finished, I find the show online and watch while I fold. Then, when the show is over, I have a couple of neat stacks of folded clothes and one stack of things on hangers--it's easy to move those three stacks to the closet/dresser!
our bungalow is short on storage space, so we hired a handyguy to make some changes. one has made a big difference in laundry clutter. we made another small closet in the bedroom by taking space from some shelves in the bathroom that were too deep, anyway. here i have room to hang up the laundry waiting to be ironed, along with the board and iron. it has made a huge difference to not to have this stuff thrown over the back of chairs or hung on the outside of closets.
If you like the laundry station above, I got a similar one (but much cheaper!) from the Container Store. The top is also padded/covered for use as a ironing board and it has two bars that swing out to hold your hanging clothes.
clickchick, I had the same thought, too. I have a feeling that building had the same developer as mine and my friend's building two blocks over ... both of our apartment were built with the option of having its own washer/dryer. His, however, has machines, mine has the closet for it (with electric and vent), but they never installed the water hookup.
My solution for not wanting to iron is...not to iron. If I take my clothes out of the dryer right when it finishes, I fold them smoothly, and then look fine. I can imagine how daunting the laundry situation would be if I had to iron everything. My laundry is the in basement of my building, so I start the laundry and do the cleaning during the cycles.
I am lucky enough to have my own machines and laundry room. Dirty laundry drives me crazy so I usually do laundry every other day. When it comes out of the dryer I fold it or hang it right away. I don't iron my husbands dress clothes -I wash them at home but send them out to be pressed.
I even have my 4 yr old bringing his dirty laundry down to the room on his own. (he's not as good about putting it away yet- give me 6 months though and he'll be a pro)
I'm awfull at putting things away... clean clothes, the vacuum, after vacuuming, cleaning supplies in the bathroom... make-up... I think I'm a slob. I know I'm a slob. I want to be better, but putting things away is no fun! :(
@ridge: I'm looking at the Container Store website, and I can't find the laundry station that you mention. It would be perfect for our place...do you mind providing a link? Thanks!
i got derailed in the middle of the cure. my husband was working far away and staying there most nights so i had clarity of space and mind. then he started commuting more and needing gatorades by the gallon and all the other little things just started piling up!
Okay. Here's my tip. Not much but it works for me.
I mounted some sturdy hooks inside my clothes closet doors. When I take out an item to wear - the empty hanger goes on the hook. Then when it's laundry time - no fumbling around for hangers - that way I don't put off hanging them up. They get on hangers right away.
And - this may be a little hyper-tidy for some --- but my clothes are in color groupings/color order -- and everything faces one direction --- that way, all clothes go back to their 'place' and it's satisfying... quick to be done.
I don't fold much - just workout clothes and around the house clothes so I just cram those into the drawers. Looking forward to having a bigger dresser!
mint, perhaps they don't have it anymore or they only sell it in stores? I can't remember when I bought it - at least a year ago at the Chelsea store. If you live in New York, perhaps you'd want to check there...? If not, maybe look around at bed, bath and beyond and places like that. I can't remember what brand it was, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't their proprietary brand, because I can still remember what the box looked like.
i um, dont really get it. its laundry, right? you dont have laundry day? this is too hard to organise? i did laundry by stomping on my clothes in the bath for ten years. it took 45 minutes, AND i had nice strong arms at the end from all the wringing. you crazy americans...
also, i dont know how many of you are able to air dry (europeans manage to do it over the bath) but if you hang your clothes properly/ neatly and smooth them out you wont need to do much ironing. just a thought.

Mann Aviation Boosts Its Payload
Mann Aviation at Fairoaks Airport southwest of London began taking in more business aircraft interior refurbishment work about two years ago and recently added a new 5,500-sq-ft facility dedicated to that aspect of its business. It includes cabinetry and upholstery shops as well as hangarage.
Currently in for work is a privately owned Bombardier CRJ700. The customer, said Mann marketing manager Barry Jarlett, bought the airplane new with the airliner interior already installed and is having the regional twinjet gutted for conversion to an executive configuration. The project is scheduled for completion in February. Also in the company's refurb pipeline is a privately owned Sikorsky S-76, which calls for an integrated in-flight entertainment system and 15-inch LCD monitor in a wood veneer credenza with gold-plated fittings.

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Our Nurses Honored at National Magnet Nurse of the Year Awards
November 01, 2011
Woman's nurse Kristy Simmons, RN, CNOR was honored as national Nurse of the Year for Exemplary Professional Practice by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and April Morris, RN was named the Protector in Superheroes of Nursing by Mosby's Nursing at the ANCC National Magnet Conference held in Baltimore, Maryland on October 4-6, 2011. ANCC is the world's largest and most prestigious nurse credentialing organization. This is the first time they have given the Nurse of the Year Awards, and Simmons was one of only five recipients nationwide. Nominees were judged by a panel of nurse experts for innovation, consultation, leadership, and professional risk taking.
A perioperative surgical nurse at Woman's for 27 years, Kristy Simmons' professional excellence and a passion as a patient advocate was noted through her many achievements including developing perioperative policies to improve patient care; being published about the proper care of non-English-speaking patients; encouraging nursing careers among local high school students and mentoring college students, and working with the international community by organizing a medical clinic for underserved women in Mexico and responding to the Japanese earthquake.

April Morris, RN, Charge Nurse - Neonatal Intensive Care at Woman's was named a winner in the Mosby's Nursing Superheroes of Nursing, a contest aimed to search and identify the real-life superheroes in the nursing profession. The contest was part of a nationwide Facebook campaign to recognize nurses who represent four key categories - The Validators, The Achievers, The Educators and The Protectors - and identify how they address the issues they face daily. Morris was named the "Protector" and called "a real nurse and leader who can manage the most critical patient assignment. She is a Superhero of nursing, for nursing, of patients and for patients," said Mosby's website.

All Photographs by Eric Cator
Polymer clay, also known by the brand names Sculpey and Fimo, is surprisingly easy to work with. Once you get used to working with polymer clay you can make anything from highly detailed miniatures to pretty beads, and it's incredibly addictive. Here's a little tutorial for making pendants for necklaces or ornaments for your tree. The process is so simple and quick, so these make fantastic last minute gifts.
Materials Needed:
buttons, stamps, bits of metal (anything that you think might make an interesting texture.)
rolling pin
Aluminum Foil
Old baking sheet
sharp knife or cookie cutters
wooden skewer
necklace chain, ribbon or string
plastic table cover
gloves (optional)
Step One: Set up your workspace
Polymer clay is made of synthetic materials which makes it easy to manipulate and gives it a smooth texture. It is not food safe though, so when choosing your tools it's best to use items that won't be used to serve or prepare food afterwards. Protect your work surface with plastic sheeting, and line your baking sheet with foil and set that aside.
Step Two: Knead Clay and Roll Dough
Take a lump of sculpey and using your hands massage it until it becomes flexible. Sculpey can be hard to squish but the heat from your hands will quickly soften it. Roll the softened dough to desired thickness. I did mine about a quarter inch thick. If you roll it too thin the finished piece can be fragile, too thick and it might be too heavy.
Step Three: Cut Out Shapes and Add Textures
Using a sharp knife or cookie cutters cut out pendant shapes. Using a spare scrap of clay try pressing your various texture objects into the clay to get a sense of the effect they will create. When you find something you are happy with use the object/stamp etc. to make patterns on your pendant.
Step Four: Poke Holes and Transfer to Baking Sheet
Using a wooden skewer poke holes in the tops of your pendants and carefully transfer them to your foil lined baking sheet.
Step Five: Bake
Follow the directions on the sculpey package for baking. I recommend keeping an eye on your creations while they are in the oven. Thin objects have a tendency to discolour if they get too hot. When they are finished baking remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Step Six: Paint and Decorate
Using paints, crystals, beads or anything else you like decorate your pendants. Mine are going to the tween girls on my gift list so I picked colours suitable for them. When the paint is dry thread the pendants on ribbons, chains or strings.
Voila, a collection of homemade gifts to package up and give.
Happy Friday Everyone!

Why This Consulting Firm Merits the Investors' Spotlight
By Arturo Cuevas - August 13, 2013 | Tickers: BLL, FCX, STN
Stantec (NYSE: STN) is an equity that many investors are wont to overlook.

Nevertheless, this company too got what it takes to deserve the investors' spotlight.

Is this Aluminum Play Bullish Despite the Metal Glut?
By Arturo Cuevas - July 12, 2013 | Tickers: BLL, CSTM, RIO, BA
Investors are generally bearish on aluminum due to the lingering market glut of the metal and its depressed prices. Nevertheless, there are some aluminum-related equities which still look worthy, one of which is Constellium (NYSE: CSTM).
An aluminum fabricated products manufacturer based in the Netherlands, this company's IPO was met with lackluster reactions this May. Could it be a spillover of the negative sentiments that mining and aluminum have more »

The symbolic start to earnings season occurred yesterday when Alcoa (NYSE: AA) gave its Q4 earnings report. In summary it was a positive report for Alcoa in terms of its efforts to get back to cash flow generation but a slightly disappointing one for growth outlook in the Western world.

Why Campbell Soup's Problems Could Be Good News For Valspar
By Eric Novinson - October 8, 2012 | Tickers: BLL, CPB, VAL, WFM
Campbell Soup (NYSE: CPB) hasn't been selling as much soup as usual recently, but the coatings manufacturer Valspar (NYSE: VAL) may have a solution for Campbell and other soup makers on the way. Bisphenol A (BPA) in metal can linings could be scaring off grocery shoppers and causing weak soup sales. If so, soup companies will need another FDA-approved way to protect metal cans from acidic liquids. Conveniently enough more »
Euro Zone Maneuvers Seeking Stability

Five Sectors Benefiting From Lower Commodity Costs
By Lee Samaha - June 6, 2012 | Tickers: BLL, CL, GIS, TGT, UPS
The downgrades to China's growth expectations have hit commodities hard and I think this is creating potential for some upside surprise to certain sectors in the developed world. The good news is that analysts rarely make big macro calls in their estimates, so I think there is a good possibility that their forecasts will prove too low.

On the surface, century old glass making legend Owens-Illinois (NYSE: OI) appears to be a rather dull find – it operates in a mature industry with seemingly minimal future growth, it produces an unexciting product with underappreciated consumer value, and it has large legacy costs and a huge asbestos liability dating back to an operating segment the company owned nearly 60 years ago.

Perhaps feelings and emotions might arise. When you do a training like this an intensive you might feel everything at once. Thanks yogis for making your self available and for being so RAW. You have one more week to go let the layers of the onion peel!!! Lots of love Namaste

Tropical Depression Sixteen-E was first identified as a
disturbance in the Intertropical Convergence Zone on November
11th, a few hundred nautical miles south of Acapulco,
Mexico. Moving northwestward, the system developed a well-defined
circulation center and became a tropical depression on the
14th, while located 470 n mi south of the southern tip
of Baja California. This occurred even though there were strong
westerlies aloft and about 25 kt of vertical shear over the system.
Later on the 14th, the low-level center became exposed
and the direction of motion became west-southwestward. There were
occasional bursts of convection for the next day or so, but the
depression became completely devoid of convection early on the
16th and degenerated into a remnant low about 630 n mi
southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.

On June 14th, 2014 – The Urban League of San Diego County celebrated its 23rd Annual Golden Pyramid Scholars Program on Saturday, June 14th, 2014. The event took place at San Diego Concourse, Golden Hall. The program was designed to identify, recruit, nurture and support students who are striving to achieve academic and economic excellence. The communities' goal is to ensure that its future parents, politicians, scientists, carpenters, doctors, and professors are identified early and supported continuously in their quest to achieve excellence.
In partnership with several community based organizations, more than $215,000 in scholarships were presented to Golden Pyramid Scholars who represent African American and other underrepresented populations. The scholarship partners included College Bound; Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., Omicron Iota Sigma Chapter; The Pat on the Back Foundation, San Diego State University; San Ysidro Health Center; and Rudolph Johnson Scholarship Fund, Neighborhood House Association & Urban League of San Diego County. Additional thanks goes to our military personnel who volunteered their time to help with logistics and crowd management.
The Golden Pyramid Academic Scholars Awards program provided participating organizations and businesses an opportunity to connect with more than 1,300 high-achieving underrepresented youth and their families. This year's program attracted more than 2,529 people. Participants were encouraged to enroll in one of our year-round youth programs such as Project Ready (College Readiness Programs for males and females 11-17). The Golden Pyramid Scholars Program features encouraging messages which promote academic achievement, civic responsibility and professional success. The programs emphasis on academic achievement and career success attracts aspiring, influential teens and young adults, ages 8-18 along with loyal parents/grandparents/guardians of all ages. These consumers bring a mindset perfect for marketing certain consumer brands, career opportunities and social campaigns that appeal to this trend-setting demographic.

rather true
Animation was very nice - just not the style liked by many and I know that making backgrounds is boring, but you could have done one. It's fine if this was supposed to be a short animation purely for showing your mates.

Not bad
I found it pretty funny. ^^ Some of the jokes went by too fast, and I think could have been drawn out a bit more. But I think the fast paced comedy is what you were going for, so good job. ^^
