Our stay at Lazy Pond was terrific! The weather was cool and a bit rainy but the rooms were very cozy and having breakfast on the porch made for a perfect weekend morning. The Bethel Woods performance center is not to be missed and this Inn is the perfect place to stay. Don and Jean Tulp are wonderful hosts, baking fresh cookies all day long, and their son Matt will make you fresh farm eggs any way you like them!

Jean, Don & Matt made our stay worry free and provided a Very clean well kept cabin, immaculate grounds and the most excellant breakfast one could ask for. I recommend Lazy pond for all and I look farward to my next stay. Ten Stars.

We just stayed at the Lazy Pond B & B - Perfection. We had the cabin to ourselves. Nice calm quiet weekend. I could not have asked for a better place to stay. Our Hosts we wonderful, friendly and we felt very welcome. We will be back in the fall. I can not wait!!!!!

First, the bad part. We had four people in a room. The room, however, was very very small. We didn't even have a place to put our suitcases on the floor. Also, our room faced onto a tool shed. We didn't see any other rooms, but they may have been bigger/nicer. The room was clean. The beds had pillow tops (not our favorite). The worst part about the room was that it didn't have internet service. Since the hotel advertised internet service, we were very disappointed. When we asked, we were told that we could use the patio by the kitchen which, although nice, did not suit my purpose of private communications. On the other hand, the setting was beautiful. Jeanne was very nice. And we had a lovely time. The breakfasts were fine (my husband says that they browned the eggs, but I like them that way). We were thrilled when the had chocolate chips for my children's pancakes. All in all, we would definitely return.

My husband attended Woodstock 40+ years ago and wanted to revisit the area. We had been planning this getaway for months and couldn't have picked a better time and accommodations. The weather was perfect and upon arrival at Lazy Pond, we were warmly welcomed despite the late hour. Jean was a wonderful hostess, as was her husband. Breakfast was great and the conversation even better. Our room was spotless and the grounds beautiful and pristine. We hope to return in the summer and would recommend Lazy Pond to anyone who wants a pleasant time spent in the Catskills.

We had a wonderful "Woodstock" holiday at Lazy Pond. Jean was so kind and helpful and made us so very welcome. The accomodation was 5star and the breakfasts excellent. Highly recommend. Geoff & Lina. (UK).

So happy to have had the experience of staying at the wonderful Lazy Pond B&B. Our hosts, Jeanne and Don, attended to our every need. Our accommodations were immaculate, our breakfasts delicious and filling, and the conversation warm and inviting. The four days and three nights went by much too quickly. We hope we can return very soon!!
2,8 sur novembre 22, 2008
The setting was lovely, the room quite nice. It wasn't inexpensive, and when we said we needed to leave early, earlier than breakfast was served, they didn't offer much. We had paid for a bed and breakfast, but all we got was an offer of a bowl of cereal. Not very much for the money. Having said that, we would go back. Other than this glitch, the proprietors were quite nice and the setting also. I hope they will make more of an effort meeting individual needs in the future. I do recommend the Lazy Pond B and B to anyone visiting the are.

This was my 2nd stay at Lazy Pond this time for a very special wedding....it could not have been better thanks to our hosts Jean and Don......can't wait to return!!!!!!!!

felt it here in Warwick, RI
Felt two tremors in Exton, PA. The second one slightly longer than the first. A little rock-n-roll for everyone's enjoyment and pleasure.
BREAKING: Gov. Rick Perry denies that NYC had an earthquake this afternoon; blames dishonest scientists.
The quake isn't big. I live in Chesapeake, Virginia. No harm done whatsoever.
Although it wasn't dangerous, I'm frightened since it's my first earthquake experience.
The entire NE is over a bedrock of granite substrate which readily transmits earthquake waves.
Far more-so than the newer basalt substrates typically found in high earthquake frequency regions along subduction zones.
The proximity of these ancient fault lines to metamorphic substrates that readily transmit the waves over great distances is the reason earthquake from ancient faults such as the New Madrid system are so devastating over such a wide area… Not that the earthquakes are any stronger, just that the shaking is more readily transmitted.
For a 5.9 quake that caused no damage or injuries, it seems like it's an overraction to evacuate the White House, NYMEX, the Pentagon, et cetera. What do you think?
POLL: Are building evacuations due to the 5.9 US East Coast earthquake an overreaction?

Was it good for you too?
Yes, the earth moved for me!
"Having a quake this close to Washington, DC, adds to the degree of concern"
Of concern to whom? Our nation's capital needs some shaking up, eh?.
Oh ya…. in Cincinnati, OH…. Hahaha!
On the eighth floor, the building swayed under my feet .. crazy ..
That is not true there are no faults there are ancient faults all over the country. In illinois/Missouri there was pair of huge quakes that changed the whole history of our country.. Ancient faults operate on geological time meaning they may still be active just not within our lifetimes but from eons ago. This is just rare but not out of the ordinary. Prep for aftershocks or triggering of other faults..
Sitting in New Britain, CT at a doctors office…thought I was near the laundry room since my chair started shaking like a massage chair- and now i Just heard this news!
I felt my bed shaking, I thought I was hallucinating!!!

Too funny, Capitalist…lmao
felt it in CT
You'll dissemble, but I'm pretty sure you used nonplussed wrong here.
It's good to experience them when they're not so large. If they get over 6, they can get a little disturbing. Otherwise it's quite entertaining for a while. Oh yeah–I have lived in Alaska and California many years.
We are in Riverhead NY and felt the earth move the door shook that was amazing.

Friends….there will be a time soon enough when "The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it… (KJV Isaiah 24:20)
There will be mass EQ's and many a calamity. Don't mock me, because, then, when it is before your eyes you will say, "oh why is this happening, why did I not wake up" and every last one of you who does not heed this warning will regret mocking me, because it was never me who you mocked, but the Most High, Jesus Christ.
The Lord saith that in those days "that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts…" (KJV 2 Peter 3:3)
Turn away from sin, repent and call on Christ. Your time is straight up running out….its coming. Are you ready to meet your Maker?
I'm her in PIttsburgh, PA and we felt it here.
Another 5 letter word for fraud… OBAMA -http://www.BirtherReport.com

Out on farm in King George, VA….house violently shaking for three minutes…no cell service until now…Marine son called me on internet phone to check to see if we were okay. Said it wasn't a terrorist attack..just earthquake. PRAISE THE GOOD AND GRACIOUS LORD!!! Soo sad we have to think that way!
A native Virginian, I'm glad to be here In Ca, & pray for family back home
felt it here too Toronto, Ontario, Canada
The six "human beings" really detracts from the article. As if we thought there would be monkeys or rats working on the NYSE floor. But maybe there are?
Why do so many people assume terrorist attack? You are morons!
Felt it in Brooklyn NY
Enjoyed the ride on the 8th floor at 23rd and Broadway in NYC. That is all you can do. Born and raised in SF Bay Area and lived in Orange County, CA for years so this was nothing. Still the largest one I've experienced was a 4.5 near Dayton, Ohio b/c my house was 2 miles from the epicenter. It felt like a bomb explored in the neighborhood and lifted the bed a few inches off the floor.
We felt it in SW VA near Bristol,VA-WOW!!!
Is the market going up on the news that DC was evacuated?
We felt it in the State House in Montgomery, AL.
felt in harrisburg,pa
Is God trying to tell us something?
U will be feeling more soon if you don't quit rejecting God's counsel
I live in Smyrna GA 11 miles from downtown Atlanta. I didn't feel anything that felt like an earthquake. After living in Japan, Okinawa and California over the years, I think I would recognize one. However, my parents in Newport News, VA, my brother in Williamsburg, VA and sister and family in Baltimore felt it.
Sounds like an even better reason to go on a taxpayer funded vacation
Ghadafy has unleashed his doomsday weapon
Felt it in downtown Columbus, OH. Felt like someone was wiggling my chair.
Felt it out here in Indianapolis.
I live 2 miles from the San Andreas fault. A 5.8 is mild to moderate. I wish I was there with a video camera to capture the expressions on peoples faces.

Is this man made global earthquakes?
Gov officials instructed to snatch all coins shaken out of anyone's pockets.

Not felt in Florida ;-)
The teaparty did it.
-Maxine Waters
Yes, this is a thoughtful comment per your guidelines.
I hope our elected officials take this a a sign, and immediately resign en-masse
This is sooooo Washington, D.C., evacuate the city. Did they evacuate San Francisco when the the 6.9 quake hit in 1989? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
The only time I feel the shaking from Washington, D.C. is on April 15.
i was felt in Paoli, PA
I agree with Martha, George Bush did it. Just like he bombed the world trade center and spent trillions of our dollars on wars to make his daddy happy.
it was felt in Paoli, PA
Felt it in Vermont, where we already tilt to the left.
I'll bet that President Barry O'Carter even felt it while on yet another luxury vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Poor guy – he works so hard! And by the way, yes we felt it here in the mountains of North Carolina.
In Prestonsburg (Eastern) Kentucky, we felt two pulses-one brief, then one stronger 30-45 seconds later that lasted 10-15 seconds. Window blinds were swaying in 5th floor office, and building was cracking and popping as they sometimes do in windstorms.
Felt the room sway three or four times, figured it was a quake. They will probably blame Bush for this , too!
I hope you meant 8.9. the reason for evacuating certain buildings is they weren't contructed with earthquakes in mind. They haven't had the rigorous testing that CA buildings should have had. + it's better to have them leave work 2-3 hours early then that's less damage they can do vs something going horribly wrong and the capital building collapsing.
I am about 35 miles from Mineral, in Fredericksburg, VA. Very scary. Doorframes rocking, pictures and dishes falling from shelves. Cars rocking on the street. I am amazed that drywall and tile aren't cracked.
What a bunch of wussies. We get earthquakes like this all the time in SoCal
Pole shift is near… Everyone prepare! Don't be stupid!
The employees on 18th floor Regions RSA Building in downtown Montgomery Alabama saw their window blinds move and pictures fall from the wall.
It's Ha Shem admonishing politicians for their evil ways.
those aren't earthquakes in SoCal
that's the sound of lllegals running
There was definitely a low rumble up here in downtown Boston, MA
BFD. What a bunch of self-absorbed, hysterical fools.
I assumed a car had crashed into a parking garage column below my 4th floor office here in Richmond, VA, but when the shaking didn't subside and I looked out the window to see the 40 foot light post shimmying like a burlesque queen I highlighted out of here like the rest of my co-workers. Mother nature's reminder that we don't control diddly on this ball of dirt…..
There was a nice little shake here in Akron Ohio
felt it in MINNEAPOLIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I keep hearing news reports of people evacuating DURING the quake, and I'm thinking WHAT?!?
You evacuate AFTER the quake and take cover DURING.
Dear Mark: "NONPLUSSED" does not mean un-moved, or unaffected. It means perplexed. Common mistake.
I didn't feel a thing here in the ATL. Hope y'all are OK further north.
LULZ @ earthquake
How handy! Obama has another earthquake to blame his economic failures on…

vbucket creation issues
How to use Vbackets?
I have 4 tables that need to be created.so 4 vbackets.
Initially I have the default bucket with the it set to all the memory space.(2.39GB)
than I Modified the default bucket to 590MB
than created one more bucket of size 500MB and saved.
After that I get continouisly
memcached.exe Application Error:
The Instructions at "oxo34b8bea" referenced memory at "0x474e55a3". The Memory could not be read.
Click on OK to terminate the program.
click on Cancel to debug the program.
Memcached.exe encountered a problem and ned to be closed.
send Error Report ; Dont sen.
so,when I deleted the new bucket I created I dont see this ERRIR.
but when I run by program it will give "SERVER_BUSY" error.
1) what are the condictions I should take into account when I create a bucket?(other than space)
2) Is there any sample program with 2 buckets utilisation?
3) I have the default Bucket replication Enabled.
But I dont have any Servers. so if I create a new bucket with replication OFF will it be an issue?
4) Can you please let me know why I am getting the above Errors after creating the bucket?
5) How do I restart the Database in windows?
Question 5 is clarified.
I used service_start.bat/stop in windows and it worked.
Can you also please give me a example how I can use MemcachedClient to access vbucket other than the default.
I have in my programs :
MemcachedClient cache = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(server, port)); which is the default vbucket.
how can I set to a vbucket other than default?
mc = new MemcachedClient(baseURIs, "bucket_name", "bucket_name", "bucket_password", true);
I saw this command in one of the posts. but why are there 2 bucket_names?
can you please provide me with a example so that I can call the 2 buckets in the same client program?
sorry of this is basic question as I was new to this
I am still having issues if I try to create more than one bucket on my windows machine.
Can you please let me know what I am missing?
Adi, the original error you've posted seems like a problem with the memcached process crashing.
-Can you please tell me what version of Windows you're using?
-Can you also grab the output of http://:8091/diag and send that to 'perry -at- couchbase -dot- com'? (you'll want to compress it before sending)
To address your other questions:
Let's first move away from using the term 'vbucket' since that is an underlying concept of the way Membase stores and distributes data. What you are referring to are simply "buckets" that get created and managed by the administrator.
1) what are the condictions I should take into account when I create a bucket?(other than space)
[pk] - You'll want to review our sizing guidelines when deciding how much RAM to give a bucket: http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/Sizing+Guidelines
2) Is there any sample program with 2 buckets utilisation?
[pk] - We have plenty of customers using multiple buckets, it seems like you're running into some unknown bug at the moment.
3) I have the default Bucket replication Enabled.
But I dont have any Servers. so if I create a new bucket with replication OFF will it be an issue?
[pk] - I don't really understand this. You "have" to have at least 1 server in order to create the bucket. When dealing with replicas, the Membase software will create as many replicas as it can (based on the number of servers) and then present a warning if that doesn't match how many you've configured.
For example, if you create a bucket with a replica count of 2 and only have 1 server, you'll get warning but nothing "bad" will happen. When you add the 2nd (and 3rd) servers to the cluster, Membase will create the appropriate replicas and the warning will go away.
A replica count of '0' is perfectly valid, although it means that you can't "failover" when a server goes down.
4) Can you please let me know why I am getting the above Errors after creating the bucket?
[pk] - I'll need the above requested information and logs to help determine why you're having this problem. The error that you're actually getting ("SERVER_ERROR") is because the memcached process is crashing.
Now, as for connecting your client to Membase:
There are two types of clients:
-"legacy" clients which only implement the standard memcached protocol. These clients are required to go through a Moxi process (our proxy) in order to connect to Membase. You can read more about Moxi here: http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/Moxi. Older versions of spymemcached are this type of client and you can connect to Membase by using this code:
MemcachedClient cache = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(server, port));
If you want to connect to multiple buckets, you can configure each bucket to live on a different port and then tell spymemcached to use the different ports to connect to different buckets:
MemcachedClient default_cache = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(, 11211)); ---->connects to default bucket
MemcachedClient different_cache = new MemcachedClient(new InetSocketAddress(, 11212)); ---> connects to a different bucket, configure that bucket to be on port 11212 within Membase
-"smart" clients. These clients can connect to Membase's REST API and get the benefits of dynamic scalability, etc. without having to go through the proxy. The latest version of spymemcached (available here: http://www.couchbase.org/wiki/display/membase/prerelease+spymemcached+vb...) has been updated to be one of these clients.
Using that client, you can connect to multiple buckets by using:
default_cache = new MemcachedClient(baseURIs, "default", "default", ""); -->connects to the default bucket
different_cache = new MemcachedClient(baseURIs, "different_bucket", "different_bucket", "");
(The reason you need the bucket name twice is because the client supports using a different username to connect while the server uses the name of the bucket both as a user name and as an identifier)
Lots of information in there, hope it helps Adi.
Thanks again Perry for a detail information.
-Can you please tell me what version of Windows you're using?
>Version: 188.8.131.52
>Cluster State ID: 016-010-16
-Can you also grab the output of http://:8091/diag and send that to 'perry -at- couchbase -dot- com'? (you'll want to compress it before sending)
I am not able to download this document.
when I try to download , it gives downloading: ns-diag-2011060606330.txt and times out.
My server is up and running.I trid in iexplorer and Firebox.

Romance is for the pretty people2 Reviews
Patrick's first day of school
I'm ready for school just as Kevin wakes up. I'm wearing Dark deniem jeans and a Beatles T-shirt. I have my jacket zipped up to the pockets. I'm wearing my Dark brown hat tilted to the side. I frown at my reflection.
"Well... This is as good as it's gonna get..." I sigh.
I wait in the kitchen for mom to take us to school.
What's the school's name? OH well...
When Kevin is finally ready, we get into the car. Even though I called Shotgun, Kevin pulls me out of the front seat. Bastard! I sit in the back and try not to have a panic attack. I'm very nervous to be going to a new school. New people to call me fat and snatch my glasses off of my face. New people to crush on and be ignored by. New people to laugh at you. New people to trip you down the stairs. New people to never accept you. New people to not make friends with. New people to envy. New place to have the lowest social status. And I can only imagine what will happen if they find out I'm gay.
I sigh and put my earphones into my ear and listen to my ipod.
I walk into the office with Kevin. We're given out schedules and we're each going to have a "guide" to show us around and help us find classes. Kevin's Guide is a skinny blonde with way to much makeup. Her boobs are ridiculously big for her size. So, I know, Kevin's first goal at this school is to bang her. And he will. I guess my Guide got lost. I really hope it isn't a jock or a preppy girl who will look at me as if I'm vomit. A boy wearing black pants and a Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie walks over to me.
He flips his hair out of his face "You Patrick?"
I nod.
He smiles "Good. I had no clue who I was looking for." He grins "I'm Pete. Where's your schedule?"
I unfold it and hand it to him.
He looks over it and frowns "Well thats weird."
"We have...every class together. I've heard they do that when there's a new Student but I didn't think it was real."
"Um. SOrry?"
"IT's cool."
I smile "Thanks..."
"Now, we have first hour which is basically like a Study hall. Kinda just a goof off place."
I nod.
"A few of my friends are in that room so you'll meet them..."
"So. Moving must not be that fun..."
"Not really... My parents divorced."
"I'm sorry... "
"I'm not. My dad was.... well I don't really miss him..."
"Any brothers or sisters?"
"Unfortunately. One brother. And he's such a jerk."
"I'm sorry..."
I shrug.
The bell rings and I follow Pete to First Hour. He sits beside a guy with long sort of curly hair and glasses. The guy on that guy's other side has short curly hair and his eyes are bloodshot. Either he's on something or he hasn't slept in a while. I sit on Pete's other side, feeling slightly akward.
"Guys this is Patrick... Patrick this is Andy"the one with long hair and glasses"and this is Joe..."The drugged up-looking one.
"Hi Patrick." Andy smiles at me.
"Hey..." Joe mumbles.
Pete smiles and whispers something in Andy's ear. I feel myslef turn red. I just know he said something mean about me. I look down, frowning.
Pete frowns and grabs a piece of paper and scribbles on it. Then he slides it infront of me.
What's wrong =(
Sigh. You'll laugh...
Nuh uh
You said something about me to him didn't you?
Nothing bad.
Then what?
Just that even if you son't want to... we have to force you to sit with us at lunch... and be our friend.
I just mean... well why?
You're cool. And I want to be your friend.
I'm the opposite of cool. And why? No one has ever wanted to be my friend.
I can't believe I have a friend.

Pros: Outpatient, awake during procedure
Faster recovery time
Why i did it: lifelong battle with something i couldn't "fix"
Pros: Outpatient, awake during procedure
Faster recovery time
Why i did it: lifelong battle with something i couldn't "fix"
My procedure was April 1 (yes, April Fools Day) 2010. It is now April 3. This was no April fools day prank or joke. I couldn't be happier. Didn't expect to see these results this soon.
I had realistic expectations to begin with. I'm 5'6 and 145 pounds. I've had two children, they are 4 and 7. One was a C-section, so this pain was not unfamiliar. Very similar, but so worth it!
I've had this family curse of being bottom heavy, or pear shaped. Yes the hour glass curves are ok, but a little much for me. I'm totally unhappy and obsessed with worrying about what to wear to cover up my hips and thighs while trying to show off my decent waistline. I had realistic expectations going in to this. I've never been a stick thin swimsuit model, nor do i ever want to be. I've always been athletic and accepted my "thick" lower half. It just comes to a point when it's so frustrating wearing such dramatically different sizes of clothing for the top and bottom half of my body! I only want to be able to throw something on without having to overthink how it will make my lower half appear. I also had cellulite before and if there is any improvement in it post operatively, well, that's just bonus in my book. Just the huge difference in size and shape at this point has been miraculous to me!
I would definitely have someone with you the first day, especially the following morning for showering and changing bandages. Getting that garment back on the first time is challenging! I truly feel the arnica gel and tablets have helped reduce bruising and swelling tremendously.
I did take before pictures the night before and will post them along with my after pictures. I plan to take some after pictures later today (it's only 4 am now, i couldn't sleep becuase i'm really excited!).
The Dr. and his staff are professional yet personable. They take plenty of time from consultation, through the procedure, and post operatively. I appreciate the fact that they won't just take anyone on as a patient just because they walk through the door with money in hand. He wants them to be realistic and I appreciate that! He knows exactly what to recommend and how to get the best outcome.

Hi Salsa,
The doctor's name is shown at the top of the review. You must be signed in to your RealSelf account and then it will appear automatically for you. Hope this helps!
Thank you. I used {edited} from Brookside Cosmetic Surgery in Tulsa. I was very nervous going into it, seeing thousands of before and after pictures on the internet sites...some good and some not so good. I was put at ease from the beginning. He could be a stand up comedian, he is so funny and personable, but most importantly he does great work. He knows what he's doing and how to advise someone. I originally thought i only needed smart lipo on the saddlebags, but he helped me understand that once those were gone, my hips and belly (although not terrrible) would look much larger. He knew what he was talking about! I'm still ecstatic. The soreness and pain is totally worth it. I would do it all over again. Good luck with your decision.

According to Ken Brady, the village of Port Jefferson had one member of its Polar Bear Club: Nick Malvo. He'd take a "'Happy New Year' dip in the icy waters of Port Jefferson harbor," according to Brady.
This picture taken on Jan. 1, 1959 shows Malvo surrounded by friends after his winter swim that year.
"Malvo, a painting contractor, swam regularly throughout the winter and was known locally for wearing short-sleeved shirts in the coldest weather," wrote Brady in the village's historical archive.

By Bryan Alvarez
We're looking for reports on Sunday's WWE Smackdown show in Madison, WI, as well as the weekend TNA shows from Friday night in Richmond, VA and Saturday night in Bowie, MD.
Smackdown is being taped tonight in Moline, IL.
We've got a number of major features in this week's Observer, with two lead stories, the entire Jon Jones/Dana White situation and why UFC 151 was canceled, and the History of SummerSlam dating back 25 years. We also look at Masakatsu Funaki's winning the Triple Crown, including a look back at the Triple Crown history and the belts that form the crown.
-- As noted on last night's Observer Radio, the entire reason for the Kaitlyn push of late was a screw-up in the women's number-one contender battle royal last week. Eve was supposed to win but missed the apron on a clothesline spot and landed on the floor. That was why there was confusion immediately afterwards and Layla had a look of shock on her face. Based on Raw last night, it's possible Eve will end up getting the match with Layla back, or they'll switch it to a three-way. Presumably we'll find out on Smackdown or next week.
-- Speaking of Eve winning, she won the Stars Earn Stripes show on NBC last night, and now that the show is over one would presume they'll push that fact pretty hard on TV. WWE didn't promote it at all on Raw given it was running head-to-head on Mondays. She will be on Attack of the Show on G4 today discussing her win (Star Earn Stripes, not Kaitlyn match) (although I suppose she could mention that). The NBC finale did just under 3 million viewers.
-- Eve interview from Young Hollywood Network.
-- Last night's cameo with Paul Heyman wasn't an inside joke or visual gag, he'll be working with Punk going forward on Raw after signing a new deal with the company.
-- Randy Orton appears to be gone for the foreseeable future shooting 12 Rounds Reloaded for WWE.
-- The Canadian Smackdown dates for next week used to be headlined with Sheamus vs Del Rio vs Orton. The new main announced in the promos tonight on The Score has Wade Barrett replacing Orton. Thanks to Canyda.
-- Video of an angry Daniel Bryan here talking having to hug it out with Kane.
-- Daniel Bryan will not be sad to see this videoof Josh Reddick of the Oakland A's coming out to his theme music and fans going "YES YES YES!" The best part is that there is one section screaming "YES!" and pumping their fists, and there is another section looking at them completely baffled.
-- For fans of Daniels and Kazarian, the WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD, they have a new #WTTCOTW t-shirt up here. If it strikes your fancy, Daniels also still has CURRY MAN t-shirts available as well.
-- TNA's "British Boot Camp", which follows UK indy stars as they attempt to win TNA contracts (kind of like Tough Enough) is shooting right now. They have been commissioned by Sky and will be airing on the Challenge channel leading to TNA's January UK tour.
-- After the OneFC promotion decided this weekend that due to confusion over an "open attack" rule they were just going to eliminate the rule and allowed PRIDE-style soccer kicks to the head (bad idea), they announced last night that the Mitch Chilson vs. Shannon Wiratchai fight, which Wiratchai won via referee stoppage, would now be listed as a no-contest instead. The fight was stopped after Wiratachai threw a kick to the grounded Chilson. The referee stopped the fight and awarded the win to Wiratachai, but according to the rules at the time the kick was illegal and thus it should have been a no-contest. The main event fight between Andre Arlovski and Tim Sylvia was also ruled a no-contest due to confusion over the open attack rule.
-- Twitter notes: Dave is now on Twitter at @davemeltzerWON. I am up at @bryanalvarez. The official site Twitter is up at @WONF4W.
-- The former Abraham Washington on Cameron's 15-day suspension: "As I said before @WWE allows you to disgrace other countries flag, have DUI's, smoke marijuana, and do steroids but you can't speak ur mind! As I said before I was fired for tweeting about Linda McMahon. I didn't get fired over the Kobe joke. To those who don't know I was fired for tweeting "Support Linda" I also tweeted "VoteOrDie4Linda" Vince didn't get it. #PDiddy #Obama @linda_mcmahon : Hiiiii Linda! It's the guy that was fired for supporting you."
-- ROH's wrestling school in Bristol, PA, run by Delirious, reopens on October 22nd.
-- There is a story hereon the richest pro-wrestlers in the world. Don't take it too seriously.
-- Several newspapers and news wires, when covering the death of Michael Clarke Duncan yesterday, included a photo of him wearing a UFC hat. He was a big pro-wrestling and MMA fan and was also at one point training Gracie Jiu-Jitsu at the Torrence academy. I'm not sure how high he was ranked when he passed away. I know at one point he was at least a blue belt, but he was standing with Ed O'Neill (yes, Al Bundy) in the picture and Ed was only a brown belt at the time, and he got his black belt some time ago after training for about 17 years. The Gracie belt progression is white, blue, purple, brown, black. It normally takes about ten years of consistent training to get to black belt, though at the Gracie Academy it can take you longer than that, especially if you are only able to train infrequently due to acting commitments and such.
-- Chris Jericho has a new Fozzy blog up here.
-- Mike Tyson talks WWE '13.
-- Video of Juventud Guerrerasinging.
-- Sara McMann signed with Strikeforce. Strikeforce and Invicta have something of a working relationship, which is why Sarah Kaufman is going from a Ronda Rousey fight to the next Invicta show.

-- ROH has a new Kevin F'N Steen T-shirt for sale here.
-- New video hereon the AR Fox vs. Ricochet rivalry for this coming weekend's EVOLVE iPPV. Gabe Sapolsky is going to be on Figure Four Daily tomorrow talking the weekend events.

-- Des Delgadillo of Figure Four Weekly talks to Ring of Honor's TJ Perkins about his time in New Japan as Puma (the American answer to Tiger Mask), and ditching high school with Brian Kendrick here.
-- ESPN's Robert Flores on MLW Radio this week discussing Fantasy Football, what John Cena told him about why he won't go heel and more here.
-- Coming on the heels of last week's huge announcement that starting October 6, Impact Zone Wrestling (IZW) in conjunction with the GFL Combat Sports Network (GFL.tv) will feature a monthly television program on The Comcast Network (TCN), Comcast SportsNet (CSN) Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic, comes the news that IZW will be providing even more cutting-edge content for the largest cable operator in the United States. IZW has now extended its reach into four new markets throughout the country. Along with TCN, CSN Philadelphia and CSN Washington which combined serve the Pennsylvania and Mid-Atlantic areas, four additional regions will have access to this exclusive series on their local CSN channel. CSN Bay Area, CSN Chicago, CSN New England and CSN Northwest will now join the aforementioned stations to increase the total number of households who have access to IZW through Comcast from 7.4 million to 21.9 million.

This is one of my all time favourite recipes, perfect for dessert and as a tea cake, not to mention it looks beautiful on a cake stand. The I prefer it in greater volume so the recipe is doubled but it much better this way and a lot more satisfying. With a sweet base and top made from a soft doughy mixture the out side is a beautiful crust then is filled with a luscious lemon curd, that is extremely refreashing and satisfying at the end of a meal. Easily made Gluten Free as my whole family and i make it all the time and we are all gluten intolerant :)

Skyfall It's good . . . real good
By Jayson Burns
Whenever someone thinks of the secret agent, odds are they'll think of Bond, James Bond. He's suave, dangerous and sometimes really cheesy. Honestly, sometimes it's hard to differentiate his legit movies from his parodies. This is nowhere near the case with Skyfall, a Bond film that keeps what made the classics great while also taking itself seriously.
After a list of every agent undercover falls into the hands of cyber terrorist and ex-MI6 agent Silva (Javier Bardem), James Bond (Daniel Craig) must track the criminal down before he releases the information over the internet. The situation becomes more complicated when it's revealed Silva has something special planned for M (Judi Dench), the veteran director of MI6. Both Bond and M, however, may not be up to the task after so many years of fighting.
Skyfall shares much of its plot from previous Bond films, which is to be expected after 50 years of movies, but the presentation of it is more than enough to look past it. All of the characters have some strong chemistry between each other, particularly Bond and M whose relationship hadn't really been explored in the Pierce Brosnan movies. Everything that happens in the story happens for a reason (though it does feel a bit long at times), and though it resorts to a plot device that's been seen so many times before it's all pretty engaging. The one major issue is the resolution of the character of Sévérine (Bérénice Marlohe), mainly because there isn't any.
It's funny to look back and see all of the early criticisms of Daniel Craig as Bond when in Skyfall he captures the wit and determination of the character so well. What's interesting is even in scenes where he has no lines and is standing off to the side like an extra, he still looks like James Bond. Judi Dench is also great as M, making an elderly woman actually pretty intimidating. Silva is probably one of the best Bond villains seen lately, as Javier Bardem shows his character's own determination while also adding a love of the chase as well. The rest of the cast is good as well, which is surprising given how many characters there are vying for screen time.
What many people go to a Bond movie for is to see the cool gadgets the agent uses. Here, however, Bond is only given a gun that only he can use and a small radio. At first this seems a little cheap, but seeing Bond and the others use more conventional and creative tools to get the job done makes up for it. The action scenes are also put together well, being fast-paced but still comprehensible, as is the usually cryptic and artsy intro sequence. And like with every Bond movie, it's nice to see both the exotic and rundown places the mission takes him.
Skyfall puts to rest any concern that the many stories of James Bond are finished.

Congo: More Intimidation as Blood Flows Faster than Oil Spilled into the Gulf of Mexico
Georgianne Nienaber: The United States has strategic and mining interests in DRC and until the American people wake up and demand that our government do something to actually promote human rights in the Great Lakes Region, we can expect more of the same and press release after press release from Human Rights organizations will swarm foreign news desks like so many hyenas after the kill.
Jamaica's Gay Underground Christians
Rev. Irene Monroe: Sometime in the late hours of Saturday night the call will come in. Philbert (not his real name) — like many of his Christian LGBTQ buddies — waits anxiously for the call to tell him the time and place of the van pickup, and where it'll drop he and his friends off to a safe and secluded place for Sunday worship.
Tiger Didn't Apologize for Dubai's Slave Labor
David Love: With an economic and political crisis afoot in this crumbling empire, it seems that this salacious celebrity gossip is nothing more than that–a media-created distraction to help us forget how bad things really are in America. This is a sideshow, like the gladiator games in Rome, or feeding the Christians to the lions.
Could a Hillary Clinton Avatar Save Congo?
Georgianne Nienaber: Surprisingly, to some, the bad guys list also includes scientists, conservationists, non-governmental organizations, doctors, lawyers, public relations professionals and just about anyone who stands to make a buck off of the suffering. As one local Congolese activist told me, "rape is big business in Congo these days."

Although the U.S. is not in imminent danger of attack from any country, President Obama's first budget further expands the Pentagon's already dominant global operations.

Congo Violence: Déjà Vu All Over Again?
A force of armed combatants massacred at least 152 Congolese civilians and wounded another 106 at Gatumba refugee camp. The victims were largely Banyamulenge, a group often categorized with Tutsi.

August Meeting Minutes
Provost Council Meeting
August 8, 2013
Martin 128
The following were present: Dr. Deborah Curtis, Dr. Mike Grelle, Dr. Shari Bax, Dr. Rick Sluder, Ms. Melissa Jones (for Dr. Jim Graham), Dean Gersham Nelson, Dean Roger Best, Dean Mike Wright, Dean Joe Vaughn, Dean Joseph Lewandowski, Dr. Joy Stevenson, Ms. Cheryl Riley (for Dr. Alan Zabriskie), Mr. Ken Schueller, and Ms. Debbie Combs.
Information Items
No information items were given.
Minutes were accepted as distributed.
Report Items
Strategic Leadership Team: Dr. Curtis reported preparations are being made for the State of the University address.
Faculty Senate Update: An update was not available.
Retention Planning Update: Dr. Sluder reported it will be mid-September when EAV comes to campus to go live with their system.
Discussion Items
Lumina Conference Report: Delayed
APRC Faculty Representatives: Dr. Grelle reminded members the committee has expanded its membership. A request was sent to the deans for names of faculty reps from each college. Some have been received so this is a friendly reminder to those that have not submitted names.
Student Reinstatement Process: Dr. Curtis said she recently had a situation with a student and reinstatement. She would like to clarify the process and identify a point where it becomes a no deal situation. When students get mixed messages it makes UCM look bad and can also create legal problems down the road. After a lengthy discussion Dr. Curtis stated she will talk to Hank Setser about this issue and then come back to this discussion at an upcoming Provost council meeting.
Promotion & Tenure Guidelines Process: Dr. Curtis said the process and practice of going through promotion and tenure needs to be clear and consistent. She is taking this item to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee to get a timeline in place for this year. There needs to be a better rate of student evaluations. Another suggestion was to make it mandatory for chairs to complete evaluations on the faculty. There also needs to be a good definition of faculty workload expectations. Dr. Curtis will discuss this at the Senate Executive meeting to move the issue forward.
Data Dashboard Discussions: Dr. Curtis wants to make sure people can trust the data they are getting. There needs to be conversations about the data warehouse so units can do their own queries with confidence. She asked members how this should be approached. She suggested a couple of vendors (Digital Matters and TaskStream). A decision was made to have the next discussion on this item at an upcoming Academic Council meeting.
Space Allocation: Dr. Curtis reminded members of two space challenges that were discussed in the spring. One issue was solved and the other one needs to be resolved. A location needs to be identified for the English Language Center. A meeting is being scheduled to resolve this issue.
Advisors Handling Refund Requests: Dr. Curtis said this came up recently due to a request from a parent. Her question to members was where decisions should be made for refunds. For graduate students it is made at the grad office and students may appeal that decision to the grad council. One suggestion was that Mike Grelle should make the decisions on refunds with input from advisors. Faculty behaviors come into play on these decisions because a lot of decisions are based on last day of attendance. Dr. Curtis and Dr. Grelle will continue discussing this item.
Mid-Term Grade Reports in All Classes: Dr. Curtis wants to discuss requesting mid-term grades for all classes including graduate level. She will ask that this be added to the agenda for the next Academic Council meeting for further discussion. The deans unanimously agreed there should be mid-term grades for all classes and the only exceptions would be internships, practicum and individual projects. The objective of these grades is feedback to the students for persistence and retention.
Dean Nelson said they are ready to purchase pilot scanners for taking attendance in classrooms. The pilot will include two scanners for two classrooms. Provost Curtis has committed to spending $2,500 for this and the deans will make up the difference to meet the $8,000 cost. The pilot will be for rooms in Wood and WCM. The 2nd trial will be in Lovinger and WDE.
Dr. Curtis asked members what the process has been in the past for chairs teaching an extra course. The overloads have been based on the chair's academic year rate. She stated she will give this item more thought and asked the deans to have additional conversation on this item as well.
Dr. Sluder said enrollment is up 3% in headcount and 2% in credit hours at this point.
Dean Nelson asked when Maxient will be rolled out. Dr. Bax said the reviews have gone well, they are tweaking the system and training is slated to begin in September.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Debbie Combs, Recording Secretary
Provost Council
August 22, 2013
Martin 128
The following were present: Dr. Deborah Curtis, Dr. Mike Grelle, Dr. Shari Bax, Dr. Rick Sluder, Dr. Jim Graham, Dean Gersham Nelson, Dean Roger Best, Dean Mike Wright, Dean Alice Greife, Dean Joe Vaughn, Dean Mollie Dinwiddie, Dean Joseph Lewandowski, Dr. Joy Stevenson, Ms. Cheryl Riley, Mr. Ken Schueller, and Ms. Debbie Combs.
Information Items
Dr. Curtis announced that President Obama will be speaking on a college campus in Buffalo, New York today and will be talking about the Missouri Innovation Campus. The White House called to let President Ambrose know.
The minutes were accepted as presented.
Report Items
SLT Update: Dr. Curtis reported the last meeting focused on getting the semester rolling and President Obama's visit. Lumina and the Kauffman Foundation are hosting an event on November 13 & 14 that will focus on work with the Missouri Innovation Campus. Business partners and civic leaders in the Kansas City area will be invited as well as local school superintendents and representatives from MCC. Dr. Curtis will be working with the President's Office to schedule some informational meetings on campus regarding MIC.
Faculty Senate Update: Ms. Riley reported the first meeting of the semester is August 28 and they are giving the full meeting to President Ambrose for updates. One item he will be updating them on is the mixed use facility.
Retention Planning Update: Dr. Sluder reported retention rates for first time full time freshmen is .1% ahead of last year and full time transfer students is up 2.9%. It appears that retention from freshmen to sophomore and junior to senior years is increasing. They had the regular call with EAB yesterday. They reported 100% of the success markers have been sent to Erin and she was very pleased. Erin said they have been done very well and it is clear a lot of time went into them. September 17th has been identified as the date for onsite training before going live. This will be the last onsite visit this year.
Discussion Items
Lumina Conference Report: Dean Dinwiddie attended a conference in May. There was a great deal of interest in e-textbooks. Lumina is trying to establish a platform on using e-textbooks and they want to bring a group together to do small pilots. They suggest if universities move to e-textbooks they should start small. Dr. Curtis asked Mike Grelle to bring a group of faculty together to see if this is something UCM is interested in. Suggestions for members of this group were Nicky Nickens, Kathy Leicht, Phoebe McLaughlin, Scott Lankford, Anna McCoy, and Kim Andrews. Dr. Curtis suggested asking Kathy Leicht to run the group once it is put together.
SPSS Renewal: Dr. Graham reported a couple of years ago UCM went into an agreement with SPSS. IBM has since purchased SPSS. They say the current agreement is not in compliance with their new agreements. The cost over the last two years has gone from $28,000 to $40,000. Dr. Graham asked members if they are ok with the increase and if the software is being used enough to justify the increase. It is targeted to increase by another 20% next year. SPSS wants to move UCM up to a right to use license and then it could be used from home or anywhere on campus. Dr. Graham said we have the option of not renewing and then we can continue using the version we have because we own the license. We would lose any support they give us if that is the decision made but Dr. Graham is comfortable with that. Dr. Curtis said to renew for one year and that will give us the time to have conversations at the departmental level on whether or not we should move to something else or upgrade SPSS. She asked the deans to have those conversations with the chairs. Dr. Crooker will be invited to an Academic Council meeting to discuss those options.
E-portfolio: Dr. Graham said there is an option in Banner to create e-portfolios. These would be useful for promotion and tenure and for accreditation purposes. Some vendors can be invited to campus to demonstrate their product but that would be a waste of time if faculty aren't interested. Dr. Curtis suggested creating a short electronic survey to gather interest. Drs. Graham and Grelle will work on the survey.
Dashboard Metrics Meeting: Deborah Curtis, Mike Grelle, and Skip Crooker met and discussed getting something pushed out to chairs and program coordinators that they can start using. They plan to use a list of variables that are in the data pack, what was used to identify the signature programs and the state performance indicators. Dr. Crooker will write a script to improve the process. A group needs to be gathered to take a stab at this project. Dr. Curtis will ask Nicky Nickens to identify four department chairs (one from each college. She also wants two deans and Tina Church as part of the group.
Dr. Curtis asked for the deans' assistance in getting her at any departmental faculty meetings that she missed last year. Her goal for this year's meetings is for them to be more of a dialogue, more interactive, and a listening environment. She will focus on the departments she missed last year in the fall and then during the spring semester she will begin re-visiting departments.
Dr. Curtis announced she extended an invitation to Mike Racy to attend a Provost Council and Academic Council meeting as an observer.
Dr. Curtis announced they are moving forward with the R25 Scheduling upgrade. Training will be provided. The goal is to provide chairs more time by using the software and to use space more effectively. The Union will cost share the upgrade.
Dr. Vaughn reminded members of the following stipulations for grad assistants:
They cannot start work until they have a contract
They may not start work before the start date on their contract
They must confirm their citizenship status if they are an International student
For the summer semester the start date is usually the week before the semester begins
ometimes students are told they have a GA position and move to UCM from out of state and then find out once they get here they do not qualify for the position
A brief discussion was held on the expense of hiring grad assistants, offering them food plans and housing, and how some universities pay them $10,000-15,000 on top of their tuition. Dr. Curtis suggested having this conversation when John Merrigan was present.
Dr. Sluder reported as of today 12,360 students were enrolled which is an increase of approximately 700 students over the first day of classes last year. Approximately 300 of the 700 are grad students and 400 are undergrad.
Dean Best announced the Skyhaven Expo will be held on September 7 from 9:00 am to 4:0 pm.
There being no further business to discuss, the meeting adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Debbie Combs, Recording Secretary

Upstate, South C...
I've fallen out of the habit of posting projects here lately, but I really want to get back in to it. I love browsing the project gallery and getting inspired. Must do my part!
I made a maternity coat from the August 2008 issue of Burdastyle. A fellow sewist graciously traced a copy of the pattern for me. You can read my original blog post about the project here
It is a really nice maternity pattern. An empire style jacket with enough room for a belly without looking like a tent or a linebacker. I did make a muslin and found that the neckline was very high and tight. I made some alterations, including a different collar. I also added width to the sleeve so I could slip it on over sweaters. I have worn the jacket everyday since I made it in December. It has been invaluable to have a coat that buttons over my big pregnant belly! I actually see myself wearing this coat next winter even when I'm not pregnant. I think the style of the coat suits regular wear, too.
The pattern calls for the jacket to be made out of suede, but I used an acrylic suiting I had in my stash. It's not the best fabric in the world but it's warm. This is all the coat I need where I live. It doesn't get seriously cold. I lined the jacket with flannel except for the sleeves. I used a slippery lining so it would be easy to get on and off. I didn't make buttonholes simply because my machine wouldn't cooperate. I sewed on snaps instead. I struggled with the sleeve vents but that's not due to the pattern. Just my skill level. I'm not happy with the way they look at all but at least I don't see them while wearing the jacket.
Some acrylic suiting for the shell that is very warm and fuzzy, flannel for lining, poly blend lining for sleeve lining

Eine sehr sehr hübsche Jacke, sie wird auch später gute Dienste leisten. Herzliche Grüße!

That's crazy cute. I would wear it non-pregnant.
