By now, you know european car magazine incorporated eurotuner.com several months ago, with our editorial team working on both titles. One of eurotuner's most popular events was its annual Tuner GP, so we decided to continue it under the EC banner since it's a great showpiece for many of North America's best European tuners.
As a result, the format of the event is very similar to how it was at eurotuner, with shops invited to compete on the dyno and road course against one another. We used to incorporate drag racing as well, to give the teams a greater challenge, but dragstrips are virtually extinct in Southern California, so we dropped it for this year, hoping to bring it back in 2013.
The Tuner GP isn't a competition as such, since no two cars are the same. It's more of a grudge match, with the teams competing to highlight their engine and chassis tuning abilities.
We split the cars into rear- and all-wheel drive classes, with a Time Attack class for cars that don't see street use and a new electric vehicle class. However, ECGP is designed to demonstrate how the various modifications perform in real-world tests. So if you're thinking about tuning your R32 or M3, you might like to consider some of the engine or chassis mods featured here.
The Tuner GP is a great opportunity to examine specific tuning packages and discover whether they meet the tuner's claims. And while the team with the best numbers has something to brag about, it's not the whole story. For example, cars that do well in each discipline are likely to be highly focused track cars that might not translate well to the street. But by measuring power and lap times, you can see which package delivers the most overall, or in the specific area you want. But it's worth remembering that the Time Attack cars are stripped out, lightweight machines, whereas most of the other classes represent street cars with full interiors, steel body panels, etc. This is what you'll be driving, unless you're looking to build a dedicated track car.
ECGP is designed to let you browse tuning conversions under the harshest conditions and decide what modifications or base vehicle would work best for you and your requirements
ECGP is a test of speed, power and poise. We scrutinize the cars on the dyno for outright power and torque, and on the road course to see how the total package performs under pressure.
In order to accommodate such a variety of cars, we really don't impose many rules. You must use the Continental ExtremeContact DW tires we supply to each team, and you can't inject nitrous into the engine (although you can use it as an external cooler).
In the past, tuners were allowed to swap components or software maps on the dyno, but we've removed this ability to ensure the cars remain in the same tune throughout the event.
Previously, some teams would find an advantage with tire choice, making cars on street tires the underdogs. So we teamed up with Continental Tire to supply its ExtremeContact DW rubber to all the teams. These are considered an ultra-high performance street tire, well suited to modified street cars, yet they also withstand considerable abuse from the Time Attack cars, allowing them to record some very fast times that are comparable to dedicated race rubber.
On the dyno day at Church Automotive Testing, teams were allowed three pulls to ensure the ECUs had adapted and to check for any potential problems. As we said, this year there was no tuning allowed between runs, but faults, blown hoses, etc, could be rectified on the spot.
For the road course we visited the tight and technical Streets of Willow. It's a relatively short track but its demanding turns and high-speed corners are a great test of chassis balance over engine power, which is why we choose it rather than some of the faster SoCal tracks. It gives the less powerful teams an equal chance to shine, instead of the more powerful cars simply blowing them away on the straights. We're not simply looking for the fastest and most powerful cars here.
Turn the page to discover how each team did on the dyno and road course. We also have a profile of the teams as well as the overall results and a spec list for you to better understand what went into building these remarkable cars, and how they fared in our 2012 Tuner GP.
Specifying a control tire for the Tuner GP meant we can focus on what parts the tuner has fitted, rather than the rubber he's chosen. A mix of tires in the past was either flattering or condemning some teams, so the standardization of the Continental DW gives us a better indication of how the tuner's components are working together.
With such high-performance machinery, it was vital for us to choose tires that were equal to the task, rather than leaving the competitors scrabbling for grip. So we've been fortunate to forge a relationship with Continental Tires for the past few years.
We initially approached Conti for the ExtremeContact DW tires because they'd performed very well in a group test we conducted at eurotuner magazine in collaboration with Tire Rack. In fact, they won the last Tire Test we conducted in 2009 against ten of the latest high-performance tires in both wet and dry conditions.
The Continental ExtremeContact DW was declared the overall winner thanks to its abilities in mixed weather conditions, as well as good braking performance and turn-in grip.
And although the Tuner GP remained hot and dry all day, the DW's abilities were appreciated by GP competitors who experienced high levels of predictable grip. The teams needed to keep the car stable under high braking forces, while also requiring strong and consistent cornering ability. What's more, when the tires do finally let go under severe provocation, they respond predictably to give the drivers plenty of feedback. In fact, the number of drivers drifting through turns after their timed sessions suggested they were very comfortable with the tires' performance.
Continental ensures the DW (meaning Dry and Wet) provides both a lower rolling resistance and improved tread life than its competitors. It has a 340 UTQG rating, which means they should last many thousands of miles under normal conditions. There are different indicators within the tread blocks themselves to alert drivers to when the tires have exceeded their optimum tread depth for both dry and wet conditions.
To verify the treadwear, one of our GP drivers reported that he was still using the DW tires we provided last year. Not only had they completed a full track day, but he then put them on his daily driver and will even participate in track days on them up to a year later!

Silver Spring, MD – More than decade ago, a sea change began in the American diet, with consumers starting to avoid foods with trans fat and companies responding by reducing the amount of trans fat in their products.

Nothing is ever quite what it seems in this dark comedy of suspicion, theatrical illusion, and romantic truth. Steven Dietz's darkly comic play Private Eyes offers a startling and incisive glimpse into a world in which appearances deceive at every turn. The private becomes public, the real fades into the imagined, and glimmers of truth may be glimpsed only fleetingly against a dark tide of lies.
The characters in Private Eyes long for truth, love, and genuine human connection, but, terrified of rendering themselves vulnerable through open self-revelation, they instead pursue avenues of deceit, disguise, and self-delusion. Falsehoods pile up at a fevered pace until the final moments of the play, when the characters lay down their lies and face each other in a moment of bare honesty, a blissful release that allows them to see and to be seen without guile or guise.
As his characters gasp for breath against the seductive current of their own lies, Dietz challenges our own expectations for narrative truth as well. The story exists on several different planes of reality simultaneously. It invites audiences to join in with the characters who watch from the wings as the most private moments of their lives unfold onstage, but the play offers no promises that the worlds observed are really what they seem—until we, like Matthew and Lisa, are granted respite in a final instant of stillness and truth.

KSU School of Music Announces the 2014-15 Signature Series
In 2014-15, the Kennesaw State University School of Music will debut a brand new concert series that unites some of the regions top professional ensembles with exciting performances by KSU's very own students and faculty. The 2014-15 Signature Series will include a trio of concerts by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, the debut performance of the Atlanta Opera Chorus at KSU, and two very special scholarship concerts featuring KSU's very own students and faculty. Signature Series subscriptions are available now by clicking here.
Opening the 2014-15 Signature Series on September 16, the School of Music welcomes the powerfully moving voice of the acclaimed Atlanta Opera Chorus. Their debut performance at KSU will commemorate the Chorus' 25th season under the direction of chorus master Walter Huff and will include repertoire spanning 300 years of operatic choral works, including performances of well-known masterpieces by Verdi, Mozart, Puccini, and Wagner.
The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra returns to Morgan Concert Hall three times this season, each time with special guest soloists and a different internationally acclaimed conductor. The orchestra's first performance of the season (September 26) marks not only the return of the orchestra to KSU, but also the return of pianist Jeremy Denk for a performance of Mozart's Concerto No. 20 conducted by ASO Music Director Robert Spano. On January 16, the orchestra will perform an exciting program conducted by Marin Alsop, the first female conductor of a major American orchestra, which will include a performance by the ever-vibrant violinist Julian Rachlin. Finally, on March 20, the ASO will perform a program devoted to art and Spanish music, including a concerto by classical guitarist Miloš Karadaglić, which will be conducted by Jacomo Bairos.
The KSU Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble team up early in the new year on January 8 for a special performance with indie-alt-folk band, von Grey. The members of von Grey are four classically-trained sisters who have spent the last year accumulating glowing press reviews and featured appearances on national TV including "The Late Show with David Letterman," "Conan," and NBC's "Rock Center with Brian Williams." The band will perform special arrangements of songs from their catalog that feature the powerful and moving sound of full orchestra accompaniment provided by the KSU Symphony Orchestra and Wind Ensemble. Proceeds from this concert go towards supporting student scholarships.
A favorite of many longtime School of Music friends and supporters, the annual Collage Concert will take place on February 7, 2015.

Star-Spangled Spectacular at KSU!
Kennesaw State University will present two special concerts this summer: The 7th Annual Star-Spangled Spectacular on Saturday, June 28, featuring the Georgia Symphony Orchestra and "Back to School with von Grey," an end-of-summer concert featuring Atlanta based indie-alt-folk band von Grey on Sunday, Aug. 10.
Presented annually on the Saturday that precedes the Independence Day holiday, The Star-Spangled Spectacular has long been a summertime tradition at Kennesaw State to kick off the celebration of our nation's independence. Since 2008, the free event has been held in the heart of campus on the Campus Green and is accompanied by an exciting fireworks finale.
The Georgia Symphony Orchestra will perform many favorite patriotic tunes as well as a selection of exciting American works for orchestra. New for this year's events the addition of preconcert activities including games, face painting and balloon animals for children, vendors and exhibits from the KSU community, and a patriotic singing contest.
The contest winner will have the opportunity to perform the National Anthem at the 2014 Major League Lacrosse Championship game at Fifth Third Bank Stadium on Aug. 23.
Preconcert activities begin at 5 p.m. and the concert begins at 8 p.m. Concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to get a good spot on the green and enjoy the preshow activities. Blankets and lawn chairs are welcome, and parking is free in designated areas.
Atlanta-based indie-alt-folk band von Grey will headline "Back to School with von Grey" on Sunday, Aug. 10, at 7:30 p.m. in Morgan Hall at the Bailey Performance Center. The members of von Grey are four classically-trained sisters who have accomplished more tasks on the proverbial band wish list in the past year than many bands do in a decade — all without the help of a record label and before their 20th birthdays.
With glowing press reviews and appearances on "Late Show with David Letterman," "Conan," NBC's "Rock Center with Brian Williams" and CNN's "Road Warriors," the Atlanta Journal/ Constitution described the quartet as "nothing short of stunning."
The band's debut at Kennesaw State will also feature a performance with the KSU Symphony Orchestra. In a special collaboration with the Bernard A. Zuckerman Museum of Art and Joel A. Katz Music and Entertainment Business Program, concertgoers are encouraged to arrive early to attend an outdoor party starting at 5 p.m., featuring food trucks, live music and tours of the Zuckerman and the Bailey Center. Seating for the concert is general admission, and tickets go on sale July 1 at ticketing.kennesaw.edu.

Dance Festival at Kennesaw State University
Festival celebrates concert dance for high schools and dance studios
Kennesaw, Ga. (March 18, 2014)––Kennesaw State University's Department of Dance will host the 2014 KSU Dance Festival March 28-30. The Festival is the first of its kind in the state of Georgia, and features over 30 classes, two nights of adjudicated performances, and teacher seminars. Approximately 150 students have registered to participate in the three-day Festival.
Ivan Pulinkala, Chair of the Department of Dance, said, "The KSU Dance Festival is intended to promote concern dance at the high school and studio levels, supporting our mission of dance education on campus and within the community. Master classes, adjudicated performances, guest companies, and faculty seminars will provide a unique artistic and pedagogical experience for participants."
Twelve participating companies will present work for adjudication, and a panel of three national adjudicators will select a work for festival recognition.
Mara Mandradjieff, Instructor of Dance, said, "KSU's Dance faculty and staff are thrilled to be part of this initiative. The KSU Dance Festival will create a supportive environment that fosters valuable dialogue between various dance institutions. It is opening new doors to meaningful connections and learning experiences for the Atlanta dance community."
Dance Instructor Natalie Berry echoed Mandradjieff and said, "It has been a wonderful experience creating the inaugural festival both from a creative perspective and a personal one. As faculty, we have been given a wonderful opportunity to work closely with our colleagues, which is such a treat, to design an exciting and fulfilling experience for festival attendees."
Attendees will benefit from the experience and so will KSU dance majors, who will gain valuable arts management experience as they work closely with dance faculty and staff to organize the festival.

Patty Poulter, Dean of the College of the Arts, said, "The KSU Dance Festival not only celebrates dance, but also brings the dance community together in a fun way. The Festival's unique approach to performances, techniques, and creative choreography will be extremely valuable. The Department of Dance continues to set the bar for dance education in Georgia."
Meet Avery Sharpe: Theatre for a Change
By Kelsey Medlin
With a smile that goes on for days, Avery Sharpe is a unique theatre and performance studies major with a concentration in acting. His positivity radiates off of him and out to others throughout Kennesaw State's Department of Theatre & Performance Studies, but Avery was not always this vibrant thespian and lover of the arts.
In high school, he says he was a "super jock" before a girl told him that boys were needed for the school musical, "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." Curiosity got the best of him, and he auditioned and received a part. He discovered that theatre was "collaborative, fun and freeing" and exactly what he wanted to do.
Since then, Avery has grown so much at KSU, not only as an actor but also as a human being. "I've learned that if you work hard, trust yourself and your work in all aspects of life, you can make yourself a better person and enlighten others," he says. Professor, Interim Chair and Coordinator of Internships Karen Robinson says, "It is so exciting to see him grow into this incredible and wonderful combination of talented and gifted actor. His presence is charismatic, really smart and insightful, plus he is such a genuinely and authentically warm person."
When Robinson first met Avery at the auditions for "Fences" in the spring of 2010, she remembers noticing Avery's "inherent charm that comes out in his manner and way of engaging with people." Despite only being in his second semester of freshman year, she saw that there "was a sense of self possession that was more mature than his years." Avery has been a part of every production she has directed on campus ever since.
Beginning the rehearsal process of "Ruined" by Lynn Nottage this semester, Avery is eager to see where this production will lead. He connects deeply with his character, Christian, in the very last scene of the show. "He has the fortitude, the discipline and the humility to be able to love the woman in the scene," Avery says, "despite her faults and the things that happened." Avery believes that "love like that is what we are all looking for and there should be more of that."
Through the course of these past years at KSU, Avery has grown and discovered a passion and ideology for what he believes theatre is. He says, "It has changed my life and can be used to change others' lives." After graduation, Avery wants to stay in Atlanta for a while before traveling to Chicago or New York to work. His biggest goal, though, is to one day bring theatre and its techniques to Latin communities, perhaps in South America. He says their warmth and attention to family are something he desires, and he would like to see theatre make a difference in those communities as it has for him.
Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Nelson Mandela tributes and conference lead Pan-Africa Week focus on civil and human rights struggles
Kennesaw State University will examine civil and human rights struggles in Africa and the African Diaspora during Pan-Africa Week, March 17-21. The week will feature forums and artistic presentations, including a debut of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play "Ruined," tributes to Nelson Mandela and a student research and engagement conference.
The violence against women resulting from war and the pursuit of conflict minerals in the Democratic Republic of Congo are highlighted in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies' presentation of the play "Ruined" by Lynn Nottage March 18–23 in the Stillwell Theater. Directed by Karen Robinson, professor and interim chair of TPS, the play tells the story of the courage and survival of women who have been visited so violently by atrocities that they are no longer able to bear children.
"As we learn about the role that conflict minerals play in fomenting unspeakable atrocities in the DRC, we must ask ourselves: What is our responsibility in perpetuating the violence from afar with our global consumption of not only gold and diamonds, but our voracious appetite for mobile phones and electronics?" Robinson said.
Each performance will be followed by discussions with the director, actors, and guest faculty in disciplines from across the University. A panel focusing on trauma and healing, co-sponsored by TPS and the Gender and Women's Studies program, will follow Sunday's matinee performance. For tickets, visit www.kennesaw.edu/arts/boxoffice or call 770-423-6650.
Two Pan-Africa Week exhibits focus on the fight against apartheid in South Africa and pay tribute to the recently deceased South African President Nelson Mandela. "Graphic Resistance: Anti-Apartheid Political Posters" features facsimiles of vintage posters created between 1960 and 1990 protesting against apartheid. "Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013): Before Prisoner, Beyond President" displays vintage press and art photographs and memorabilia celebrating Mandela's life. The exhibits, curated by Jessica Stephenson, assistant professor of art history, and Monica Russ, a student in art history and African and African Diaspora Studies, are located in the Social Sciences Building Atrium through March 31.
On March 20, the all-day 6th Annual African and African Diaspora Studies Student Research and Engagement Conference will present 16 student and community panels focused on struggles for civil and human rights, culture and contemporary issues in the African diaspora. It also will feature two keynote speakers: Robert "Bobby" Hill, professor emeritus of history at the University of California Los Angeles, disicussing "The Concept of Africa for Africans"; and Chapurukha Kusimba, chair of anthropology at American University, discussing "Maritime Networks and Urban-Centered States in East Africa."
Other Pan-Africa Week highlights include:
· Forum: The National Center for Human Rights CEO Doug Shipman will discuss the "Global Struggle for Freedom: Atlanta's Legacy and its Relation to Current Human Rights Movements" Monday, March 17, 12:30 p.m., Social Sciences Building, Room 2034.
· A musical tribute to Nelson Mandela by the Kennesaw State University Choir, led by Professor Emeritus of Music Oral Moses, and a screening of the documentary "Nelson Mandela: The Life and Times," Wednesday, March 19. The musical tribute begins at 2 p.m. The screening will follow. Both are in the Social Sciences Building, Room 1019, and are free and open to the public.
· Forum: Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women's Studies at Spelman College, will discuss "Violence and Silence in the Black Woman's Experience," Friday, March 21, 9:30 a.m., Social Sciences Building, Room 3019.
Pan-Africa Week is a collaboration between the Kennesaw State College of the Arts' School of Art and Design and Department of Theatre & Performance Studies; College of Humanities and Social Sciences; African and African Diaspora Studies Program; Center for African and African Diaspora Studies; and Institute for Global Initiatives.

Kennesaw State University's School of Music Announces Jazz Venue Partnerships
Premier jazz clubs include Churchill Grounds and The Velvet Note
Contact: Kathie Beckett, 770-499-3417, email@example.com
KENNESAW, Ga. (March 17, 2013) — Kennesaw State University's School of Music is pleased to announce that it has partnered with two of the top jazz venues in the region: Churchill Grounds in Atlanta and The Velvet Note in Alpharetta.
Students in the jazz program at Kennesaw State University will now have the opportunity to play to audiences in Atlanta and Alpharetta and experience what it's like to perform in a real world situation. Each venue will promote and host concerts by KSU students and faculty.
Mike Alexander, Interim Director of the School of Music, said, "The School of Music at Kennesaw State University is proud of our jazz program that continues to create the future cultural leaders in our region. We encourage an entrepreneurial spirit amongst our students and having them perform at the top jazz venues in our region is an important part of their education. Bringing our faculty and students out of the university and into the community is a core element to how we believe our school can contribute to the quality of life in our area."
Sam Skelton, Director of Jazz Studies and Senior Lecturer in Saxophone said, "I think this will be a fantastic opportunity for our students to hone some entrepreneurship chops in creating electronic press kits and demo reels." Trey Wright, Lecturer in Jazz Guitar and Jazz Studies, echoed that and said, "Our students will gain real world experience at world class jazz venues and have the opportunity to play outside of our Kennesaw community and reach out to the metro Atlanta community at large."
The owners of the venues are excited as well. Sam Yi, owner of Churchill Grounds, said, "We need to give these up-and-comers an opportunity to expand, an opportunity to let younger generations perform. Allowing students to play here also gives us club exposure and a chance to reach new audiences; it's a win-win all the way around."
Yi added, "To the young cats, I say 'Continue to shed because there's no magic bullet. The only way to get better is to keep shedding and shedding and put an enormous amount of time into your craft. What most jazz musicians lack is how to advertise and promote. They spend so much time shedding that they don't expose or promote themselves. Learn how to shed, but learn how to promote yourself.'"
Tamara Fuller, owner of The Velvet Note, said, "Through the partnership with KSU, our audiences get to enjoy jazz from two different approaches: one that comes from the traditional, standard formal training approach that KSU provides, and the other that comes from getting out there and exercising your chops and getting your experience in playing the stage. It's a unique combination—usually you have to choose one over the other. With the KSU students, you get both."
This unique combination is paying off: recently KSU grad Zac Evans did a show around the music of chart-topping Daft Punk at The Velvet Note. Fuller said, "It was extremely original, and audiences loved it. We got the craftsmanship and the talents that he had developed in his time at KSU, but also got the originality, and the street credentials, that come with a young person who is looking at different influences. I'm hoping that through our partnership with KSU, audiences get the accomplishments, achievements, and trained musicianship perspective, but also get originality and creativity from listening to artists in this generation."

James Smith: Serious about his acting career
The first thing you notice about James Smith is a smile big enough to light up a major city, but he's really serious about his acting career. In addition to his classes, Smith keeps busy by honing his craft and auditioning for upcoming roles. He is constantly auditioning for his next part.
He says, "I don't think you should just sit around waiting for the phone to ring. I believe you should always be auditioning for other roles rather than wondering, 'did I get the part or not?'" He says it's important not to focus on when the role is coming, but rather to be prepared when it does arrive.
James is certainly landing the roles. He's playing a lead character in the play "Ruined" this spring. Karen Robinson, Professor and Interim Chair of Theatre and Performance Studies (TPS), says, "James is a generous and compassionate actor who brings vulnerability and deep commitment to his work. He has a gift for eliciting empathy for his characters. It has been an absolute joy to work with him in class and in our production of 'Ruined' in which he plays a young man who is seeking fervently to reunite with his wife."
Smith says he really appreciates the support he's gotten from Professor Robinson. "She basically opened my eyes to how the real world works in this field. She doesn't hold back," he says.
In addition to Professor Robinson, Smith also speaks highly of Harrison Long, Head of Acting for TPS, and his instructor for Acting I and Acting II. "Professor Long's primary objective when he comes to work each day is to see his students succeed. Everything he does is for the students." Smith praises Professor Long for challenging students to work as hard as possible and to continue researching and looking for ways to improve.
In addition to receiving excellent instruction, Smith loves the diversity of the KSU student body. Smith, who is African-American, says the presence of various cultures on campus and in the Department of Theatre and Performance Studies really makes him feel welcome. "At the previous schools I attended, the student body was mostly Caucasian. It's really nice to see African Americans, Latinos, Asians and other cultures being featured in theatre productions and involved in so many activities on campus."
Last year, Smith played "Reuben" in a play written, directed and performed by KSU students. "Reuben is a character who didn't have a parental figure in his childhood. Later, as an adult, the lack of guidance affected his relationships romantically and socially. I can relate to this character. It was really fun portraying this guy."
KSU is the third stop on Smith's road to a Bachelor's Degree in Theatre. He started out at Valdosta State and later transferred to Georgia Perimeter before enrolling at KSU. Among other things, Smith likes KSU's proximity to Atlanta and the numerous networking opportunities. "I love it here! I think KSU has one of the best theatre programs in the Southeast. I really enjoy it."

Meet Shannan O'Dowd: A choral conductor in the making
By Zola Matingu
Shannan O'Dowd started to sing before she could even speak. Now, the Baton Rouge, Louisiana, native has taken that passion and is making it into a career.
Her interest in music came from her mother, who exposed her to all genres of music from the 1950's through today. Her mother plays the trumpet, and Shannan plays piano and guitar and also sings. She led an acappella group while in high school, and she vows to find one while she is here at KSU.
At first, Shannan was on the fence about what she wanted to study at KSU; Adam Kirkpatrick, Associate Professor of Voice, gave her a tour of the music department while she was still a high school student. She decided to come to KSU's School of Music because she felt the environment was a perfect match for her personality. She initially wanted to focus on music therapy, but decided instead to pursue music education and vocal performance.
Shannan's love of music has deepened since she became a student at KSU, and several KSU professors have noticed it. Among them is Leslie Blackwell, Associate Professor of Music and Music Education, who has witnessed Shannan grow to become a student with tremendous talent and potential: "Shannan is very gifted in music. I have seen her hone her skills as a performer, an artist and a musician," says Blackwell.
Shannan attributes her growth to Blackwell's mentorship and encouragement. Blackwell says, "It is always a huge compliment when students regard your work together as influential in their lives and their education. Shannan hopes to be a choral conductor in the future, and my aim is to aid her in that journey. She is a student with extremely high aspirations, and this is evident in her work ethic in all her classes. She is a natural leader, vocally gifted, and is passionate about teaching and music. This dedication to the art of music is essential for a future music educator."
Shannan's journey of studying music will likely continue beyond KSU; after getting her Bachelor of Music with an emphasis in choral music education, she hopes to pursue music therapy or vocal performance in graduate school. Ultimately, she wants to use music astherapy for children with illnesses or special needs. With her musical background and the music knowledge she has acquired thus far at KSU, Shannan is prepared to make her mark in music.
Her advice to future students choosing her major? "Be prepared for an intense schedule, and make sure you know what you want to do, especially in music education. Many people choose this major casually, not really knowing what it entails and the commitment they have to make to be successful in it. You have to realize that you are affecting many lives with your skills; this is an all or nothing major, and you have to love it."
Dance Student Rebekah O'Toole: The Freedom to Express Yourself
By Kelsey Medlin
For dance major Rebekah O'Toole, dance is in her blood and deeply embedded within her soul. Inspired by her aunt, a professional ballerina, Rebekah started dancing fifteen years ago and has not stopped. Her passion for movement and the stage goes back to the time when her grandmother took her to see her aunt perform in the comedic ballet "Coppélia." After the show, her aunt brought little Rebekah backstage. Right then and there, Rebekah fell in love with dance.
As Rebekah prepared to graduate from Peachtree City's McIntosh High School, she knew she wanted to attend Kennesaw State University. The talented freshman says that she chose KSU because of the "incredible" dance program. She made becoming a KSU dance major her goal and "put everything into it."
She experienced the dance department in summer of 2013, when she attended the College of the Arts' Summer Arts Intensive, a weeklong program. There, she met Christen Weimer, Interim Assistant Professor of Dance. Weimer says she immediately saw "the honesty in Rebekah's movements. It's apparent how much she loves to dance." She says her performance quality and commitment to improvement make her stand out.
Rebekah says she is grateful for the opportunities at KSU. As a member of the KSU Dance Company, Rebekah was chosen by Weimer to be a part of the professor's piece, "Sablon," in the fall dance concert, "Touchdown." Weimer says she chose students who "had strong ballet backgrounds and were open to exploring their own individuality." Weimer asked each girl to bring in a picture of a girl or woman to whom she related.
She remembers distinctly the drawing Rebekah chose: it was an image of "an eye with a girl crawling out of it." This drawing and Rebekah's words inspired Weimer. "Rebekah said that the eye was like the constraints in her life. The girl crawling out of the eye was how art and dance gave her the freedom to express herself," says Weimer.
Rebekah's ability to express herself freely is evident not only in her dance but also in her voice. The most influential lesson she has learned at KSU is that "you may have thoughts about what you want to do, but you should still keep an open mind." She has heard so many stories about dancers helping out in other areas of the arts and, consequently, falling in love with a new passion. That inspires her, and she's very determined. As the first in her family to attend college, she's eager to prove her abilities to others, and to herself.
After Rebekah has soaked up all she can at Kennesaw State, she plans to "perform as long possible," perhaps in New York or Chicago. However, she's excited to see where the Atlanta arts scene is by the time she graduates. "Atlanta is growing so much, and I would love to be a part of it," she says.

I have tried this already. It didn't work for me. They said there was something that went wrong between 8.04 and 8.10. Do you think this will be corrected in the next release? I read that Mint 7 is coming out in a few months.

Call To learn how to do Phone Sex. Get Off Yourself and Help Her Cum.
There are all different tastes of what we want for a sex partner. Phone sex provides a wide variety of choices. Does the thought of a teen girl give you some wood. They are all so young and hard bodied. Full of spirit and juice. Maybe part the thighs of a cheerleader and smell the wonder of her womanhood. Watch her clit peek out as her pussy lips open like a flower.
There is no reason not to experiment with phone sex. Have you ever tried BBW phone sex? These fat girls will open your eyes. They do not apologize for their right. They revel in being fat. A full length mirror will show them a great big fat ass and huge bouncy tits. Try a bbw. Pound for pound, they are the best.
Some might think it is a little strange to chat with a man/woman or shemale. She has nice big breasts and a swinging dick in her panties. It's not. It just shows that there are no taboos in phone sex. Chatting with a shemale can be very rewarding. It lets you observe sexuality from a totally different point of view.
More taboo. How does the idea of fucking your sister or mom have you distracted. If incest is supposed to be wrong then why is it so exciting? Is there even such a thing as taboo incest phone sex. The short answer is, of course, no. Do you find it strange that from ancient times incest was reserved for Royalty. Kings and princes could fuck their sisters or get a blow job every morning from their mother, the queen, and call it all good. It was forbidden to the common guy even if it was something as non invasive as licking some princess pussy.

Add Texture with the Baby Lock Sashiko
Have you ever put your own spin on a pattern you loved? Take this adorable Asian-inspired dress for example. We love the original pattern from Modkid, by Patty Young, and thought it was a perfect candidate for some Sashiko stitching. By adding decorative Sashiko stitching to some of the skirt panels, and the edges of the belt and ribbon, we gave an already adorable pattern a completely original twist!

There's some things in life that I can't understand
Like people who mumble, or meat that is canned
But one thing I think that is way out of hand
Are people called "guidos" who live in this land.
One night I had tea, and a chocolate biscotti
Walked by the TV, en route to the potty
When I saw this wretched show "Growing Up Gotti"
Just WHO looks at them and thinks "He is a hottie!"
They have those same haircuts, which look so darn strange
They gel up their hands, and each spike they arrange
They wear their new shirts from Armani Exchange
(Cost 500 bucks, or somewhere in that range)
Their tanning has made them the color of night
Their weightlifting makes sure their asses are tight
They love to be morons but think they are right
And if you're not careful, they'll start up a fight
They walk in the clubs, still looking quite goofy
They're armed with a condom, some cash and a roofie
Their shirts are off now and they'll make a big scene
In the hopes they'll be in Steppin' Out magazine
And yet some girls love this, they think that it's great
And sadly some day these guys and girls will mate
So then they'll have offspring that I'll also hate
To this guido life, I will never relate
So guidos, please hear me, to life there is more
Then dry humping girls who are on the dance floor
And if you cannot because that's how you score,
Please go somewhere else. Don't ruin the shore.

Your plant will need to be placed in direct... filtered
sunshine to flower. If your plant won't re-flower... move it to a
sunnier location. Most "Goldfish" plants are grown in
6" or 8" hanging baskets without a saucer, making it
difficult to water. When the soil is dry to the touch (once to
twice a week)... set your plant in the sink and water it until
water runs from the bottom of the container. Feed monthly with a
balanced plant food. If your plant becomes leggy... just cut it
back to the desired size. It is possible to root the cutting in a
container of water or vermiculite.

Hotel seen in new plan for shelterTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 29,2013SHELBURNE A Shelburne hotel is poised to be converted into a new type of short-term housing that Vermont officials are touting as a way to help potentially homeless clients regain their footing.
The Champlain Housing Trust is buying the Econo Lodge that will cease operating as a motel within days and will become Harbor Place.
Its like a motel but very different, said the trusts Michael Monte. This is really something in the middle between having nothing and having something.
Children and Families Commissioner David Yacavone said the Harbor Place will provide up to 59 rooms for people in need of temporary housing and caseworkers to help them find work, child care or overcome other challenges that led to their homelessness.
The goal is to help people connect with services.
We have families that many times come back through, Yacavone said. We dont break the cycle.
The trust is paying $1.85 million for the property that includes almost 4.9 acres, Monte said.
Yacavone said the state has been spending $3 million a year statewide and $800,000 in the Chittenden County area on motel vouchers. Motels in the Burlington area cost the state $62 a night, while Harbor Place is expected to cost $38, a potential one-year savings of $262,000.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The once-endangered loons had a record year nesting on some of Vermonts lakes and...

Obama just nominated John Kerry for Secretary of State a few moments ago, citing that Hillary was also very excited with the nomination. As I've said in the past, I just don't think it matters much who will replace Hillary Clinton because Obama runs the show in Washington and handles most of the serious foreign policy stuff himself.
Understand how history repeats itself with today's persecution of Christians in Islamic countries and compare to the plight of the Jews in Nazi Occupied Europe. Click here for details.
That said, the Weekly Standard is raising some issues with the Kerry nomination, noting that he's got some investments in companies accused of violating Iranian sanctions and that he has been a frequent visitor to Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. The latter could put him at odds with Obama who wants the dictator removed, however I doubt with Assad's actions in the past year or so that Kerry will support him in any fashion.
So, ho hum I guess is my feeling over the whole announcement. And he'll probably get nominated without any trouble because, to quote Lindsey Graham,

(Slightly late) birthday present for my beloved Marz, with her beautiful arts and her beautiful smile and her beautiful enthusiasm and her beautiful beautifulness.
Brainiac 5 and Lyle from Legion of Superheroes. Super smart geeks being super smart and also in love. <3
So were you expecting a competent answer? Or…?
I mean, in Lo3w, there were some absentees.
I will also never understand why Andromeda was just. There. As not a space nun. But whatever, her hair was FABULOUS.
(I'm still going to make a reply for this, but my brain is to ecstatic right now to make one, and I still want to post it! Eeeeeeeeeee!)
((Singlehandedly ruining the lives of Brainiacs is just my day to day job, besides being a student.))
Go Team Green by Dennis Culver
Because Tiny Brainy's getting his own 32 page special in special in September, I think it warrants a Tiny!B sketchdump.
He's so tiny I just want to hug him <3
Also I might ink the far right and lower left. And flat color. Because of reasons.
Augh, B! Gotta be honest, the Legion #0 is one of the only ones I'm actually looking forward to. I mean, Scott Kolins on the art? This should be interesting.
Hi I'm taking my first art class on a college campus on monday.
Instead of copious figure drawings I should be doing, I hopped on a bandwagon.
Sailor Colu of the 31st century, everyone. (I'm going backwards in brainiacs because I do what I want.)
I think this weekend was a 'let us post things that Grey will like when she gets back Monday' kind of weekend.
((Brainiacs 2 and 5. I just found this on Legion World and FJDSKFHDJFKL DYING FROM THE CUTE.))
I believe Interpunkt off DeviantArt is to blame for this vision in green.
Brainiac family sketchdump.
Lyrl is really fun to draw.
Querl remains fun to draw.
Indigo is a cutie patootie.
And good god, how is Vril such a nuisance to draw!? Probably his hair… And his everything.
I have a confession to make.
I stopped following a lot of Brainiac blogs for a reason.
And that reason is…I'm a Coluanholic. Totally incurable. I mean, it's the only reason I'm still reading the reboot Legion of Superheroes book. I NEED MY FIX.
I guess what I'm saying is, starting here, I'm not gonna fight it anymore. I'm just going to let go and let god.
Commence the Brainiac reblogging!
You can't escape, so just give in and get it over with.
Big baby…
Now hold still.
Such a brat.
//Not sure what to do with this yet. Too busy flailing and squeeing. Not sure If I should go with a pic response or a paragraph. *flail*
My ship name for this pairing is Blonde Broccoli.
Everything Brainiac 5 does is perfect. Even having sex. Especially having sex.
Invisible Kid is invisible, in case you can't tell.
….I imagine Lyle starts to lose hold of his invisibility the closer he gets to orgasm.u///u
I think I remember reading a fanfic like this once, where Rokk catches them.
My favorite pin-up from LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES ANNUAL #6.
Ugh, everything about Brainy and Andromeda's weird thing in twoboot was tragic and hilarious and I don't care how creepy I am for saying this: I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.
I just love how you can also interpret Lyle's reaction two ways:
"Brainy! Don't be distracted by blondes while you're holding acid!"
"Brainy! She'll just chew you up and spit you out! I'm the one who really loves you!"

Body Bakery: Bread imitating Gore by Kittiwat Unarrom
This brings weird to a whole new level. Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker. All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named "Body Bakery" – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread.
With a master in Fine Arts Kittiwat Unarrom creates sculpture in bread. Not just normal sculpture but horror, dark art, gore, something I don't know if I could actually eat. Located in Ratchaburi, Thailand Kittiwat creates feet, hands, heads, and internal organs among other body parts all entirely edible and for sale at his family's bakery. He skillfully paints each piece to look terrifying to the observer/customer.

An anti-government protester holds a firearm as he mans a barricade on the outskirts of Independence Square in Kiev, Ukraine, Thursday, Feb. 20, 2014. Fierce clashes between police and protesters, some including gunfire, shattered a brief truce in Ukraine's besieged capital Thursday, killing numerous people. The deaths came in a new eruption of violence just hours after the country's embattled president and the opposition leaders demanding his resignation called for a truce and negotiations to try to resolve Ukraine's political crisis.

Much respect for the people of Ukraine for standing up for themselves. Especially the guy with the side-by-side shotgun.

Sgt. Thomas McVicar of the Jersey City Police Department shot 22 year old Kwadir Felton, leaving him blind, after Kwadir pulled a gun on him, he claims. Kwadir Felton denied the accusation, stating that he doesn't even carry guns.
"I don't understand!" Felton yelled at a police officer before his mother was removed from the courtroom. "You didn't have to shoot me in the head for no reason! You trying to charge me with something I didn't do!"
Systematic oppression to protect a corrupt member of a corrupt force.
that's so fucked up..
