Confession: We own the Honey soundtrack. Remember that early naughties flick starring Jessica Alba as a sexy dancer? Okay, whatever. We liked it. While Alba might not have gone on to win an Academy Award yet, she's definitely on the nomination list when it comes to red-carpet style. Lately, the actress has been upping her fashion game more than usual, transitioning from that slightly Cali, a tad too colorblocked vibe to full-on high glamour with serious street cred.
Case in point: Jessica Alba was le toast of Paris Fashion Week, hitting all the major front rows and insider-y after-parties in a slew of outfits that ranged from sophisticated to edgy. There she was at Kenzo wearing a white dress and black leather bag from the label's pre-fall '13 collection. Then again dancing at the launch of CR Fashion Book Issue 2 rocking a Valentino LBD. And — oh yes — at Chanel in, but of course, Chanel. While her IMDB profile might just have two Robert Rodriguez movies in the queue, does it really matter when her get-ups are this good? As Mark Ronson sings on Honey track number five — "Ooh Wee."
Ahead, check out five of Alba's chicest looks from Paris Fashion Week.

Volleyball downed by Clemson
Friday, September 19, 2003Clemson, S.C. (Sept. 19, 2003) -- East Tennessee State volleyball was no match for Clemson, host of the 2003 Clemson Invitational, as the Tigers swept ETSU, 30-16, 30-14, 30-15 in front of nearly 800 fans at Jervey Gym Friday night. "Clemson is a very talented team," said ETSU's first-year head coach Lindsey Devine. "They are tall, fast, disciplined, and they have great ball control. We did the best we could, but we were simply overmatched and oversized." The Tigers (9-5) made just eight attack errors on the evening and finished with a team attack percentage of .551, which ranks second on Clemson's all-time list for best hitting percentage in a match. Leslie Finn and Lori Ashton tallied 17 and 14 kills, respectively, while Ashton hit .667 on a total of 18 attacks. The Tigers also served up a total of seven aces. "I've told our players that playing teams like Clemson is only going to make us better," said Devine. "We are a stronger and smarter team than we were at the beginning of the season. I don't know if they see that yet, but playing high-caliber teams has improved our game." Freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) led the Buccaneers for the second consecutive match with 12 kills. As a team ETSU registered just 26 assists with sophomore Kristi Robinson's (Knoxville, Tenn.) 14 assists leading the way. On Saturday the Buccaneers, who fall to 1-10 this season, will wrap up the tournament by taking on Illinois-Chicago (5-7) at 10 a.m. and Charleston Southern (9-3) at 4:30 p.m. Admission is free to the public.

Science comes alive at Orlando Science Center!
Through exhibits, demonstrations, events, camps and workshops, both within and outside our walls, everyone involved with Orlando Science Center is dedicated to our mission: to inspire science learning for life.
Fiscal year 2014 was one of great achievement and success. Within the pages of our 2014 Community Impact Report, you'll get a firsthand look at our impact throughout Central Florida.
For optimal viewing, please click the image below to access the 2014 Community Impact Report in full screen.
19 February 2014
Posted in Community Impact Report
Welcome to 2014! As I look ahead to the many possibilities of the new year, I'm compelled to also look back on the achievements of the previous 12 months. We have been busy at the Orlando Science Center and the past year saw some incredible milestones.
In 2013, the Science Center was visited by over 413,000 people – the greatest attendance since the grand opening of the "new" building in 1997. Membership households swelled to over 8,000 – a record for us, encompassing over 34,000 parents, grandparents and children.
I'm thrilled by these numbers, but the figures I'm most proud of are the 70,000 individuals who enjoyed free or reduced price experiences like summer camps, field trips, family science nights or exhibit visits – thanks to our generous Community Request Fund donors.
A new addition to this effort, the "Science for All" family membership was piloted in 2013 to reach out to struggling families by providing them with 12 months of engagement at the Science Center at a greatly reduced price. Thanks to a handful of dedicated corporate partners, 140 families have now joined the Science Center family and that number continues to grow.

51 of 273 Still Hanging on at Spelling Bee
By PAULINE JELINEK, Associated Press Writer
Thu Jun 2, 7:18 AM ET
WASHINGTON - A spelling whiz from Canada and one from Jamaica advanced to the final rounds of the annual U.S. spelling bee, the only remaining foreign students.
Also among the 51 contestants still standing for Thursday's competition, more than half have competed in the contest before, and a half dozen are home-schooled in the United States.
"I'll just do the best I can," Louisville, Ky., seventh-grader John L.T. Tamplin said Wednesday night after making it through the fourth round spelling "Flamborough." It's an old English sword dance.
Seventh-grader Nidharshan S. Anandasivam wasn't leaving anything to chance.
"I will rest and then review some words," the Brownsville, Texas, boy said as he left the competition Wednesday evening.
Nidharsham was propelled to the next round when he correctly spelled "rodomont," a vain boaster. He said he remembered it from among the 40,000 to 50,000 words he has studied.
The 78th annual Scripps National Spelling Bee started Wednesday with 273 competitors ages 9 to 14.
Most were from the United States and its territories, but 14 were foreign students. There were 11 from Canada and one each from the Bahamas, Jamaica and New Zealand.
Finola Hackett of Tofield , Alberta, mastered "cassowary," large birds related to the emu, and outlasted the 10 other Canadians who competed this year.
Jamaican eighth-grader Stacey-Ann Pearson, who goes to school in St. Andrew, advanced by spelling "lapideous," having the nature of stone.
It was in that round that Dominic Ranz Errazo got a word he could relate to, "emetic," which means inducing one to vomit.
"It sounds like the nervousness I get up here," said the seventh-grader from Goose Creek, S.C. He spelled it correctly.
Each speller wins at least $50. The first-place winner gets $28,000 in cash, scholarships and bonds, plus books from Encyclopedia Britannica. That's about $10,000 more than in previous years.
The contest is administered by E.W. Scripps Co. The youngsters all won local contests sponsored by newspapers.

3M Foam Fast 74 Spray Adhesive is an aerosol adhesive used for bonding flexible urethane or latex foam together or for bonding many other materials like wood, metal, glass, fabrics, heavy papers and non-vinyl plastics (it is NOT recommended for bonding vinyl plastics). It is a fast drying adhesive and its high content of adhesive solids provides high coverage. 3M FoamFast 74 also has good moisture and temperature resistance to help protect bonds. Often used in recreational vehicles (RVs) for upholstery applications. Its volume is 22.6 fluid ounces (its net weight is 16.9 ounces).
NOTE: Federal regulations prohibit the shipment of restricted products (aerosol cans, flammable items, etc.) by air so please only choose UPS Ground/Standard as your shipping method if including this product in your order.

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils

RED OAK — The No. 3-rated Creston boys basketball team nearly went into holiday break mode a little too early Friday night.
After blowing out the host Tigers 19-2 in the first quarter, including a perfectly executed lob off the backboard by Trey Thomsen for a two-handed slam dunk by Luke Neitzel, the Panthers found themselves in a two-possession game (49-43) with 4:00 to play.
At that point, the Panthers had been outscored 41-30 since the decisive first quarter.
But in the end, free throw shooting down the stretch with the Tigers fouling against Creston's spread offense, allowed the Panthers to stay unbeaten (8-0) at the break with a 64-50 victory.
Creston also stands alone atop the Hawkeye 10 Conference at 4-0. Red Oak falls to 3-5 overall and 2-4 in league play.
The Tigers trailed 32-12 at halftime, but started their furious comeback led by guard Pete Walker and forward Tanner Johnson with a 20-12 third quarter. Then, an 11-5 spurt at the start of the final period closed the gap to six points.
"We started getting better shots," said Red Oak coach Bryan White. "We just needed a little more in the first half. Give Creston credit, they made their free throws down the stretch. They're a team that has some size and shooters. There's a reason they're 8-0."
With the late batch of free throws as Red Oak fouled to stop the clock, Creston finished 24-of-34 (70.6 percent) at the stripe, compared to just 11-16 by the Tigers.
"Early we were hitting some shots and defensively playing pretty well," Creston coach Billy Hiatt said. "We kind of fell asleep later on. We fell apart for a little while. I think not having school for two days hurts you in trying to keep any kind of rhythm. But it's a win. We'll take it on the road."
Colby Taylor sank three 3-pointers, shot 8-10 at the line and finished with a team-high 19 points and eight rebounds for Creston. Neitzel had 16 points and six rebounds. Point guard Kainen Somers tallied nine and center Briar Evans chipped in eight.
Red Oak's Walker matched Taylor with three triples in a 20-point night. Johnson finished with 14. No other Tiger had more than four points.
Clarinda (2-6), a 64-49 winner over Shenandoah Friday, hosts Creston in the Panthers' next action on Jan. 4.
RED OAK (50) — Pete Walker 7 3-3 20, Tanner Johnson 6 1-2 14, Jose Perez 1 2-2 4, Jordan Nelson 1 1-2 4, Brandon Birt 1 1-1 3, Ryan Leininger 3, Dalon King 0 2-4 2. Totals — 17 11-16 50. 3-point goals — 5 (Walker 3, Nelson 1, Johnson 1). Team fouls — 25. Fouled out — Johnson, Walker.
CRESTON (64) — Colby Taylor 4 8-10 19, Luke Neitzel 6 4-6 16, Kainen Somers 3 2-2 9, Briar Evans 2 4-8 8, Trey Thomsen 2 2-2 6, Ryan Cook 1 1-1 3, Jay Wolfe 0 2-2 2, Cole Thompson 0 1-2 1. Totals — 18 24-34 64. 3-point goals — 4-8 (Taylor 3, Somers 1). FG shooting — 18-34 (52.9 percent). Rebounds — 27 (Taylor 8, Neitzel 6, Somers 5, Thomsen 3, Evans 3). Assists — 6 (Thomsen 2, Somers 2). Steals — 11 (Taylor 4, Neitzel 4). Blocked shots — 1 (Neitzel 1). Team fouls — 17. Fouled out — None.
Red Oak — 2 12 32 50
Creston — 19 32 44 64
Creston's JV removed any doubt early in rolling to a 61-19 victory Friday over Red Oak.
Evan Nielsen led a balanced Panther effort with 12 points.
"The Nielsen brothers (Evan and Alex) were beasts inside the paint, which opened up our guards throughout the game," coach Kristopher "Kritter" Hayes said. "We had a lot of energy and much of that was provided by the guys who came off the bench. There was no let-up in our defensive pressure and we rebounded very well as a team."
Hayes said McClain Haines came off the bench and added a spark early with a steal and layup while being fouled hard.
Ten different players scored in the game for Creston (7-1).
Creston (61) — Evan Nielsen 12, Cole Thompson 10, Jay Wolfe 9, Cole Crawford 9, Alex Nielsen 6, McClain Haines 6, Nick Noecker 4, Brandon Phipps 2, Christian Groumoutis 2, Sam Hartsock 1. Rebounds — A. Nielsen 6, E. Nielsen 5, Thompson 3. Assists — Thompson 3.
Red Oak (19).
The Creston freshman boys finished up their pre-holiday schedule with a strong performance in a 39-31 defeat at Red Oak Friday.
Kyle Wynn and Nick Walsh led the scoring with 10 points each for Creston (0-6).
"The overall effort was a noticeable improvement, with the 31 points being the most the team has scored all season," coach Larry Beaman said.
Creston's next game is Jan. 4 at Clarinda.
Creston (31) — Kyle Wynn 10, Nick Walsh 10, Kole Lovely 4, Brandon Jones 3, Brandon Lee 3, Ryan Kucera 2.
Red Oak (39).

Your Dynasty is the ideal machine for this type of work. Or any small DC TIG unit, like the little Maxstars that Admweld suggested. Don't waste your time with a MIG unit if you have the 110V TIG option.
Good fit-up is critical, because once you start blowing holes you're in a world of hurt. You can weld outside corners without filler, which will make for easier post weld clean up.
Practice practice practice on some scrap- both welding and polishing. You will learn that the polishing is just as hard as the welding, and should be given respect. You'll see. I wouldn't try to weld and buff out any butt joints, as they will only give you problems. Design accordingly, and use a press brake to form things as much as possible.
Good luck!

reviving an old thread but do you think something like this
would bend 16 ga 304 stainless across 6 feet?
If you see an ad that says "constructed of 18-8 stainless steel type 304-16" what does the 18-8 refer to?

(or is it nickel and chromium? i never remember :-).
the rest is primarily iron & carbon (to make steel).
the 18/8 gives you the rough properties of the steel.
type 304 tells you the details
(if you look 'em up in an appropriate reference, of course)

OK Changing the scope a little (down to 48") would this work? I would make the front edge a 1" box (2 bends) and a 5" back splash in back.
Would 20 ga. some how bonded to particle board make a good kitchen counter top?
Is this a dumb idea and that is why you don't see it very often?

Not to hijack, but Bodybagger could you elaborate on the setup you were referring to. I had heard that there was a way to do this and it only makes sense, but I'd love to have that capability as my home only has 115 everywhere but the box and currently (as it would have cost nearly $1600 to run it to the garage)I have installed a 230V recepticle at the box and run a 60amp commercial extension cord to the garage. It works, but reeling it out and in is a PITA so I'm open to ALL alternatives. Thanks.
P.S. I will start my own thread so as to not hijack the O.P.'s
P.P.S. I saw at a site I was working at a machine in the back of a truck that extrudes the SS counter tops with the edges formed into them from a roll of 16 gauge so the only seams are at the corners. It was a pretty *****en setup.DYNASTY 200SD

The final stretch of the BarIII Flea Market Tour has come to an end, and I can gladly say that it's been a good one. Last weekend, we circled back to NYC for the Hester Street Fair and Green Flea Market. The weather held out (for the most part), and enjoyed another weekend of unusually delicious foods and fun vintage finds. We had a bunch of visitors at the Hester Street Fair including Karen from DBA and Jace of The Grungy Gentleman. Thank you to all the readers of WeWoreWhat and Song of Style who came out to show their support throughout this tour. Just because our tour is over, definitely does not mean my vintage treasure hunting is finished. Keep an eye out for me at the flea!

Action Pack
GHOSTBUSTERS Movie Party
|Ivan Reitman
|Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, Sigourney Weaver, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS! Obviously!
It's possible that GHOSTBUSTERS is the world's only universally adored movie. Spectre-destroyers Murray, Aykroyd, Ramis and the vastly under-appreciated Hudson collectively defined everything we enjoy in '80s cinema, unleashing a supernatural adventure that busts funnybones as well as ghosts. Together, the four hopped in a converted ambulance and made an entire decade safe for hilarity, action, and transdimensional demon combat.
But you knew that already, as this timeless classic is burned into our minds eternally, which is why the Drafthouse is presenting this special Movie Party Screening to see it on the big screen via a gorgeous new digital restoration while simultaneously singing the theme song loud and proud and quoting along with all of your favorite lines.
Of course we'll also have marshmallows you can rub all over yourself when they destroy the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, glow sticks you can use when they're shooting from their proton packs (just don't cross your streams!), and plenty of slime throughout the theater so you can slime yourself and your neighbors, and new Smell-Along cards you can scratch and sniff throughout the film, because every time somebody blows their nose we wanna smell it

He had plenty of chances and for as many rebounds as people would claim that "he watched as another teammate grabbed the board" he had just as many where Zaza would just beat him to the ball. Played with no aggression or purpose at all. On offense, sure he didnt have that many shots, but he also had 2 traveling calls and a few pathetic attempts at backdowns when he did get it. Or how about the time he caught it on the right block, switched his pivot foot twice, and ended up at the 3 point line? Bottomline, he played a horrific game on offense and defense, and of all people, he gets owned by zaza pachulia every matchup. he needs to play better, no way around it and there are no excuses for the game he put forth. If he was playing great ball all year and just one game, then we could sweep it under the rug, but not when youve been playing this bad, all year.
maybe hell pull a PG and go on an epic streak.
So you're basing it on an extremely poorly written assessment apparently based on one preseason game, which wouldn't be a big deal for you to point out, except for the fact that you refer to the guy who hosts this board as an idiot for requesting a source. Just saying...

Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
My thoughts are in the post game -- we aren't likely to lose the battle of the boards and get outscored by 20+ on points in the paint and win very often, but we got hot from deep, 12-25 from beyond the arc won us the game. I'm happy we won, I'll take it, but if anyone thinks that's a shooting performance we'll often match they are deluded. The better team lost the game, but hey, that's why you play the game. I'll take a nice shooting night and the victory and enjoy my new year.

green bell pepper
1 large
red bell pepper
4 cloves
crushed garlic
1/4 cup
extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons
tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
This was very tasty. I didn't use the tomato paste as I didn't have that much liquid from the tomatoes in the first place and I couldn't bear the thought of mixing canned paste with my fresh-from-the-garden veggies! Something I do first with my eggplant always is salt it. Slice it 1/4 inch thick, layer it in a dish, sprinkling each layer with salt. Put a plate over it and weigh it down. Let it sit for at least 1 hour. Then rinse and pat dry and continue with your recipe. This will take out some of the bitterness and make it less spongy. That way when you put it in your oil to saute it doesn't soak it all up in 2 seconds flat.
I am new to eggplant and this was my first recipe to try it....and it was GREAT! Really like the texture of the eggplant, too.

The prep time on this recipe is especially long but definitely worth it with the finished product! Full of flavor, everything about it was great. The only thing I did differently was added some grilled chicken breast directly to the sauce as it was cooking and served it over ziti. Could make and freeze if you have summer tomatos and eggplant that you want to do something with rather than regular canning! Fabulous!
it gets easier to make the more you make it.
It goes great over pasta (angel hair is my favorite).
This was delicious and reminiscent of the store-bought mediterrenean eggplant salad my husband loves (though certainly much better with fresh ingredients!) My only complaint was the amount of cayenne pepper called for; I found it too spicy, and while that's likely just personal preference, I would warn others to be wary of 1/2 tsp and use a sprinkle instead for flavor's sake. Otherwise, this is a delicious and healthy recipe I will use for years to come. Thanks for sharing!
This is delicious, but I made modification to the prep to make it faster and have less clean up. I oven-fried the eggplant- tossed the eggplant in oil in a bowl, then placed on a parchment paper at 375 for about 20 min, till golden brown. Less time, mess, and same results if you use enough oil. I also grilled the peppers in the oven at the same time. Yum!
I added some plum sauce and Chinese 5 spice and put it over rice. Tasted great!

If we count human on animal violence, are we living in the most violent era ever?
As an example of the decline in violence, Steven Pinker uses the fact that in the middle ages, we used to consider a burning cat to be entertainment. And yet, Steven Pinker appears not to take into account human on animal violence in his statistical analysis of violence. Otherwise, I would think that the 60 billion animals that we routinely raise and slaughter for food each year would overwhelm all the violence that we were committing in the past, even on a per capita basis, and make this the most violent era ever.
Killing a cow for food is a violent act, even if it isn't done in public like burning a cat on stage for entertainment. In the past, I don't believe that we used to consume animal foods in the same proportion as we do now. At least, from 1960 to 2000, while population doubled, the consumption of animal foods quadrupled. The animal foods that we consume are mainly a result of unseen, outsourced violence, but violence on par with cat burning.
As our technological prowess increased, we became more adept at inflicting systematic violence on animals, birds, fishes and the Earth. Climate change, environmental degradation and human ill health can all be viewed as the Earth's reactions to this violence. Therefore, it is important that we measure violence correctly so that we may respond accurately and save ourselves.
Debra Smith
Jul 9 2012: I foumd Steven Pinker's book "The better Angels of our nature" to be compelling. It shows strong evidence that this is absolutley NOT the most violent era - even so, even one occurance is too many for any victim.
- +1
Jul 9 2012: I have no doubt that his arguments are compelling, but violence across species boundaries is also violence and he seems to have largely ignored it. Just because an organism has the misfortune of having a tiny fraction of its DNA different from ours, we can't ignore the violence being committed on it and become too self-congratulatory about "the better angels of our nature." Nature doesn't make such anthropomorphic distinctions and we are now facing the catastrophic consequences of our myopia.
Jul 9 2012: He did not address this for sure but history does. How many millions of bisons were killed for the fun of it during the opening of the west? That must overide today in my opinion. With licensing etc. (and I am not for draining life out of anything) most hunters are kiling deer etc that are over populating, I think.Jul 14 2012: Sailesh, thank you infinitely for asking your question. People who post on TED, including myself, are usually well-educated. As such, our answers usually reflect the prejudices that are always so well hidden in the thoughts we have been fed and that we have digested that we seldom notice the passing shadows of such prejudices.
What I would like to share is a story about awareness of the nature of our identities as I believe that it is not only relevant but crucial to the conversation that Sailesh started with his conversation.
The first story is about a dog's love for me. She is a dog, and I am a human, and yet when she died she came to tell me that I would learn that she had died but that I shouldn't die or be sad because she was alive and well. Obviously, we did spoke neither in English nor in French (the two languages I am fluent in), and yet she spoke in a language that we could both understand. It was a visual language combined with a kind of knowing akin to the flash of clarity and understanding after you've worked on a problem for a long time and finally arrived at the answer. We were on different continents when she died, and there was a nine-hour time difference between us, but her death and time of death were confirmed. She had died at about 4 p.m. in the office of a French veterinarian, and she had given me her message in person, so to speak, in California at about 5 a.m.. I called my father immediately to ask my father if Mali was okay. She wasn't ill, he said; but when i told him about her visitation, he had to tell me the truth that she had indeed died. Of course, her visitation changed me profoundly, but such a transformation is not quite the subject of our conversation. For the purpose of our discussion,I wonder, if the bond of love was not so strong between us, would both of us have been receptive to the kind of language I tried to describe?
Jul 14 2012: So you're saying you saw the ghost/spirit/mental presence of your dead dog which died in France whilst you were in the USA. And dogs are very connected to man kind, they've been that way for roughly 10,000 years. It's astonishing some of the things I can tell from what my dog does, i.e scratching the door to be let out and nudging her dish to be fed etc etc. Though these could be interpreted without a bond between us. Anyone could rationally deduce that scratching at the door means something to do with said door. And this behavior is rarely observed in nature, especially between two different animal species, though rare stories do appear of humans and animals getting along in a certain situation but there's generally a benefit to this that spurs on the interaction i.e the animal gets food out of it.
Jul 15 2012: There was no benefit for my "dead" dog. she seemed to have come to visit me so that i would not fall apart emotionally when I learned that she had died. It seems, also, that she wished to give me proof that life somehow continued in a different place and environment and that such experiential understanding was key to understanding what love was not only between speicies but also within my own species.
Jul 15 2012: Unfortunately I've to asses everything on a scientific basis, and this leads me to have to say as you should expect me to say, that it was your personal experience and that I can't disprove what you saw/ felt and you can't prove it either way even if you were the most honest human alive.Jul 19 2012: All right, but then what about relationships between human beings, beings of the same species? You can't prove either way that any type of relationship can exist between two human beings as you cannot prove personal experiences and experiences that result from interactions with other humans. What does science, as you seem to so narrowly define it, do with that?
Jul 19 2012: It's called psychology and people spend a their entire lives studying the brain and how it interacts with others. And it depends how much evidence you want as proof. If two people showed all the normal signs of love and stuck together especially through rough times where neither party benefited you could conclude that their is a bond/ relationship.
And by personal experience I didn't mean what you seem to think I meant. If we can observe something and measure it, tell someone about it and then they can then go and see it, it takes that step beyond personal experience.
But what I mainly meant was the idea of hearing/ seeing your dead dog. Like people claim to hear god's word or see spirits or be abducted by UFO's. All of which lack evidence and are put down to personal experience and can't be proved.

Jul 10 2012: Hello Sailesh,
- 0
your question underlies a certain definition of 'violence' which I tend to define differently.
To me, nature itself is based on the most violant principles I can imagine, as survival is based on food-chains of living creatures, which contains flora as well as fauna. In terms of beeing 'alive' there is no difference to me if a cow is eating grass for survival or if this cow is slaughtered by man for the same purpose. The grass as well as the cow has been violently separated from their 'existence' to serve as nutritious food for another species. So if this basic principle is named 'violence', than the cow was as violent as the butcher.
It becomes difficult the moment you start to differentiate 'values' of species, which is no more than 'random' and via 'definition', as LIVE itself is distinct towards the non-living physical world by itself.
By this I consider myself as 'violent' in eating my salat as when I am eating my steak. What makes us feel differet is only related to our empathy, any by this the salat usually short, as we have no experience what it means to be a vegitable. Yet towards LIVE there is no difference at all.
By this empathy corrupts our value system from the beginning and therefore makes it questionable in all distinctions.
Fishing as we know it today would probably be quite different, if fish would just have a vocal organ to scream panicky while they are suffocate to death. Not because the 'violence' would be any different, but because our empathy would be approached in a more understandable way to humans.
What makes the difference to me in this matter is not the act of violence, as it can never be avoided, but the fact of suffering within it and the original need. The cat beeing burned to death has no need but a lot of suffereing, while a properly farmed and killed cow suffers, if at all, quickly. If we would find out, that salat suffers as much as fish and the cat, we should take care for it to remain as fair as possible.
Jul 10 2012: I don't share such a dark view of Nature. I believe that if ecosystems were strictly based on violence and "survival of the fittest," Life would not have endured for 4.5 billion years on Earth. I believe that it is compassion, cooperation and symbiosis which makes Life thrive.
As far as eating salad being just as violent as eating cows, please note that deliberately raising cows requires that we feed them the equivalent of salad in very large quantities, day in and day out, for 1-2 years before the cow can be eaten. Therefore, there is far more "violence" embedded in the animal foods we eat.
Lejan .
Jul 10 2012: Compassion, cooperation and symbiosis is not contradictory to the 'survival of the fittest', as they are strategies of getting 'fitter'.
- 0
The reason why we are increasing the "violence" embedded in the animal foods we eat is because the human race is increasing in numbers so much and got out of proportion of any natural balance of the given eco system on this planet.
So if you count the salats we need to feet our cows which feet us may not be less if we would spare the cows and lived on salats only. So a decrease in numbers of 'violence' could only be archived in focusing on the nutritional contents of what would be more 'fair' to eat or the numbers in species which have to eat.
As a collective, based especially on those strategies such as compassion, cooperation and symbiosis, as well as our capacity in inventing and using tools let us become the most 'fittest' of all animals yet it did not change the rules of 'survival' itself.
So if your wish to reduce this 'violence' it implies the reduction of the human species itself. Which, in my view, has to be adressed one day.
The balance of a given eco system is not a constant, it is constantly changing, interwoven and highly interdependent with one another. This actually can be calculated in less complex models of prey/predator relations and turned out to me chaotic in its pattern.
But as our species evolved beyond those natural rules of balance, our impact, our inprint on the overal 'violence' had to evolve as well.
The only 'ease of ones mind' I can picture at the moment relates to our technology only if we were able to grow or meat via genetic engineering directly and bypassing any attached 'brain' to this food within the process. Althoug the violence against a 'living organism' would not decrease this way, it would suit our concept of moral probably better than it does today.
I do not consider this view on nature beeing 'dark' as it already contains a moral valuation in it while looking at the given facts.Jul 9 2012: Well no I believe your trying to compare apples to cummbers. I don't know for sure but I have not seen any cows in my life set on fire for intertainment. I have put them on the bbq but only a steak or hamburger maybe ribs. I can also say I have never put any part of a cat on the afore mentioned grill.
My ancestors climbed to the top of the food chain for a reason. I don't think we all should eat the cows chickens fish but that's a personel choice won't falut you for not eating meat and ask same. Now as far as counting the processing animals for food as violence NO afraid not. If we would count them don't forget anmial shelters game taken by hunter or the all important road kill also don't forget animal attacks. I think then you would have to do alittle readjusting for the population difference. Beware though figures lie and liars figure
Jul 9 2012: I don't see the distinction between setting a cat on fire and setting bits and pieces of a cow on fire in a barbecue. One was for entertainment and the other is for enjoyment and both are unnecessary.
It is not about fault-finding but about recognizing and understanding the deep interconnectedness of our shared journey on this planet. What I do affects you and what you do affects me, profoundly.
Jul 10 2012: This is slightly incredible, the big distinction would be the fact that the cow's dead, that would be the first thing that comes to mind. So the cow can't feel pain at this point whilst the cat can.
Our shared journey with livestock is that we've kept them alive so we've got food. It's not violent it's nature.
Jul 10 2012: Agreed that the cow is dead and can't feel pain when it is being burnt on the barbecue, while the cat does feel pain when it is being burnt alive. However, the cow was bred with the intent of killing it before its natural death and therefore, there is violence involved and there are ecological consequences to be faced. By all of us. Therefore, that violence matters and needs to be accounted.Jul 10 2012: Sailesh what is you definition of violence? By your logic should we not be stopping lionesses from killing zebras and antelopes? They kill their prey before their natural death and they even purposefully aim for the young or the old in the herds.
Jul 10 2012: My broad definition is that violence is the presence of injustice, but I was only interested in having a conversation about human inflicted violence as it is we who are stressing the biosphere at the moment, not lions.Jul 10 2012: Ok we'll agree on the fact that unfair treatment of animals during their life is not to be accepted in the world. But the biggest fault here is your inclusion of eating animals. We have to eat animals, if you want to talk about biospheres or ecosystems there has never been a case where an animal has purposefully decided to just not eat it's main source of nutrition.
Jul 11 2012: Animals may be the main source of nutrition in affluent diets, but it is certainly not the main source of nutrition for the majority of people on the planet. According to Prof. David Pimentel of Cornell, two-thirds of the people on the planet are consuming mainly plant-based foods, while the remaining one-third are consuming most of the animal foods. Therefore, eating animals is not a necessity, but a choice. It is a choice that the affluent are making, while effectively causing all Life on Earth to suffer in the process. I wrote a piece recently in IndiaWest on this issue:
http://indiawest.com/blogger/185-Go-Vegan--Go-the-New.htmlJul 11 2012: I suspect there may be a correlation between wealth of a country and whether they eat meat or not.Jul 11 2012: I do see a difference I see no reason to set a cat on fire even for enjoyment. The cow on the other hand is food for my body. I would agree that some of what I do affects you and vise versa but not all of what we do does. We will just have to agree to disagree on the eating of critters.Jul 9 2012: Most animals survive by eating other living animals or plants.
We are animals, but we also have evolved to have reason, and empathy not just for our own family, tribe, species, but also for other animals. Many of us would oppose unnecessary suffering of humans and animals.
As animals our instincts are still strong in regards to eating meat, in fact we generally eat too much if food is freely available having evolved where food is scare.
If you are rich enough and there are non animal food options, then why not consider reducing or eliminating meat? I get this point.
Many would support reducing suffering while the animals grow and when they are slaughtered.But I guess the animals we grow for food would not exist if we did not grow them. In the wild everything is dog eat dog. That does not excuse us perhaps.
First step minimise suffering of creatures that can suffer humans and animals.
I don't think this extends to stopping cats chasing birds, but just to the animals in our care.
Its a big step, against our basic nature in some ways to forgo meat. Many of us still get a buzz out of hunting.But I recognise the ethical argument has some merit.
I've heard it said you can judge a society by how they treat the incarcerated. Perhaps you can also tell a lot by how they treat animals.
Jul 9 2012: Gandhi said, "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." However, I do not view this as an ethical issue because ethics brings in connotations of blame-fixing, right vs. wrong, etc. Instead, this is Ethos, about defining who we are in the family of Life.
In the Abrahamic wisdom traditions of our dominant culture, it is said that Man was created in the image of God. Then, let's act like it. Let us be as compassionate towards all Creation as we imagine God to be. In the modern era, we are able to reach that goal. For, as a species, we don't have any serious competitors except in science-fictional movies. Torturing animals and eating them should not be part of our Ethos.
Jul 9 2012: I agree that animals bred for food should at least have a decent life e.g organic farms etc and not having 20 chickens in a metre square box (this is what I think you mean by torture)
But if you want to talk about the tree of life, it is the most successful species that survives so in this angle what we're doing is fine, yet we can clearly see it's not, why is this? because it's an ethical issue and we've stepped beyond natural selection and have evolved mentally to see things such as right or wrong.
Now the morality of Abrahamic religions are really horrible but I won't go into it, it also says somewhere in Genesis that the animals are for Adam's use i.e do what you want.
So violence to you is basically just eating them and rearing them to be eaten.
But this is natural, it's possibly the best invention a species could think of to ensure it's survival. See this idea of not eating animals it is just not sensible to me. They're a huge source of energy, fat and protein. As Obey says one species eats another. Now here's another interesting point, why don't we eat chimpanzee's or monkeys? Well it's because (mainly) they're humanlike, they're smart they can do things we can do, and also they don't make great livestock but that's a smaller point. The main point here is we don't eat intelligent things usually.
I'm not sure i you've ever seen sheep or cows on a day to day basis, (I live surrounded by farms) they are the most stupid and all round useless animals I've ever seen, sheep die if they roll onto their backs for goodness sake. The only reason natural selection hasn't killed them off is because we've been breeding them and keeping them alive. They are awfully adapted for survival and we've artificially made them better.
I've made a few very jumbled points but the main drift is, 1)it's natural to eat meat 2) let's not raise livestock in a disgraceful manner 3) you can't be violent to something that's dead.
Jul 10 2012: Agreed that there are passages in the Bible that can be interpreted to incite violence towards other people, animals etc., but this is the case in most such texts. It is up to us to reject such interpretations in these texts that are not compatible with compassion for all creation. I don't see any other way for all of us from different cultures and traditions to come together to solve our global, interconnected problems. Please see, e.g., Karen Armstrong's Charter for Compassion web site.Jul 11 2012: Hi Stewart, I guess there are lots of natural drives and instincts we have that we decide to moderate because we are not completely slaves to instinct. We have the ability to reason.
For example our sex drive. We don't accept rape (usually). But it is a perfectly natural drive to have sex and to use force to achieve it in the animal world.
I just suggest it is worth considering. Do we have to be slaves to our instinct and nature.
I think it reasonable to assess whether eating animals is more harmful or beneficial on balance. Much more efficient use of land to grow vegetable food than plant food. Less methane. etc
Not just animal suffering, but sustainability and other considerations.
Agree in principle that the more we see ourselves in animals the more we care. However, Chimps are eaten. Called bush meat in Africa. Whales are eaten. I suggest the key drive is more likely that herd and other animals are just more convenient to domesticate and may provide other benefits - wool, milk etc.Jul 11 2012: Agreed not every basin instinct of ours should be followed but some have very useful, the feeling of wanting to be the best, drives competition etc, our social instincts allow us to care for each other etc.
And you're right about the potential for the use of land to grow more vegetables and what not,but that doesn't tie to the violence Sailesh thinks there is in eating animals. I just find it odd to evolve to a state where we, at least where I'm from, are sorted food wise for many many years to come.
Last point would you agree the chimps are killed in Africa odd of necessity for some people or for their coats for others, then you've to start questioning the morality of those who kill chimps.Jul 15 2012: The way I understand Gandhi's quote is that the ability to experience the suffering of another--human or animal or other--is linked first to the awareness of that other being as a life form and second to the awareness that life is to be loved. But then again, what is love? If you're so inclined, read the book True Love by Thich Nhat Hanh. It is short and a real treasure full of wisdom that he shows you how to put into practice.Jul 9 2012: I am in agreement with Dr. Rao. I find the slaughter of billions of animals every year to be unnecessary and driven by unquestioned culture and ruthless corporate greed. Mainstreaming a plant-based diet would not only end the violence against animals, but reduce famine and poverty by redirecting precious grain from animal feed to human diets, reduce fuel and water inputs for animal agriculture and potentially avert looming water and fuel-related conflicts, help address heart disease, diabetes and obesity epidemics, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions substantially. I understand not everyone can eat only a plant-based diet, and many indigenous communities have hunted for many years...there are certainly exceptions when it comes to subsistence, health concerns, and so on, but on the whole, US society's torrid affair with meat and dairy is based on inhumane practices that I completely disagree with, and what scares me most is that China is following suit by increasing its pork intake, India is increasing dairy production, and increasingly progress and status are associated with material and meat consumption. In my opinion, real progress would be to eat and live simply, and prevent human "civilization" from destroying its very life-support system. Numerous footprints - melting glaciers and ice caps, rising global average temperatures, more severe storms and extreme events, rapid extinctions, and failing mineral, carbon, and water cycles, all faster than predicted by the world's scientists, are showing us that as we inflict violence on animals and nature, we in fact are killing ourselves.Jul 9 2012: I consider any animal violence is part of nature and survival tactic , even plants are violent they do have thorns and poison and lot of chemicals to kill.
I assume that you intended to ask a question that weather humans have became more violent (in terms of killing other humans) over time. The answer is Human race is rapidly moving away from violence and we have achieved a huge progress in that terms. We have evolved from barbaric hunter gatheres to a highly sophisticated civilization where violence at any scale is being magnified by media and strives for justice and peace. And there is still some violence in this world, but it is mostly due to uneducated religious groups and some other reasons. Humans have learned that to survive we need to be dependent on others and we need unlimited resources, which humans are also a resource which is unmatched. The best way to manage human resource is not by slavery(we have learned this the hard way, ask any HR in corporate sector) but by providing a purpose.
Jul 9 2012: The point made in Steven Pinker's talk is that human on human violence has been decreasing fractally over the years, since Biblical times. My question is whether this decrease has been more than offset with the violence committed on animals, birds, fishes and the Earth with the net result that we are facing catastrophic consequences in the form of climate change and mass extinction. All violence has consequences, - call it Karma - even when it is committed across species boundaries.Jul 8 2012: I think you're idea of calling cattle slaughter violence is limited by the fact it's sheer nature. It's natural for one species to kill and eat another, we've just got really good at doing it.
I'd also add that we mainly do it out of necessity not for entertainment or for malice, burning a cat is 1)not natural 2) I think contains a lot of malice.
A good analogy I can think of is this, if you've ever seen a cat kill a mouse you think to yourself "O good cat" but if you see a cat teasing the mouse, i.e letting it run for a bit then catching it again and repeating this (at least I think) "bad cat!" and I normally chase my cat away at this point to let the mouse get away.
So the difference is one is nature HAVING to takes its course whilst the other is needless suffering.
Jul 8 2012: Interesting distinction, but I'm not sure that it applies. For instance, in the dairy industry, we kill male calves and in the egg industry, we grind up male chicks in what is seemingly gratuitous violence. Nature never intended the male of a species to be so mass slaughtered at birth.
To a point, yes, Nature intends one species to kill and eat another to maintain a balance in an ecosystem, but when one species burns down a Florida sized area of tropical forests every two years in order to raise and slaughter billions of farm animals, the violence is no longer natural. Besides, since consuming animal foods is a matter of choice, the suffering of the farmed animals can also be viewed as needless.
Jul 8 2012: Few things, we've evolved to eat meat, our appendixes have shrunk and our wisdom teeth come too late to be of any use in grinding plant material.
And I didn't say I agree with all foods, I disagree with veal etc, anything that you have to go out of yoru way to achieve is almost always just not worth it.
And nor did I agree to the cutting down of forests.
I'd say we've to get better at our farming techniques
Create sustainable methods of development
But meat is in our diet, it has been for the past 100,000 years and it isn't going to go anytime soon.
I'm not 100% sure on how they kill cattle but saying just lopping their heads off really quickly, it's quick and virtually painless, but if we saw off their limbs bit by bit, then that's cruel violence.
So there's another angle, methods used.
Jul 9 2012: Unfortunately, the animal food industry has achieved its productivity improvements over the past few decades, mainly by ratcheting up the suffering and the violence. Killing male calves and male chicks improves the efficiency of dairy and egg production. Keeping animals in tiny crates improves the productivity of factory farming. And yet, the increase in demand for animal foods is such that forests continue to be destroyed on an continual basis.
It is also established that humans do not need to perpetrate this violence. We can all live very healthy lives on plant-based diets. Therefore, the violence is being committed as a matter of choice.
While it is true that meat has been in our diet until now, we have also shown that we are perfectly capable of making significant changes in our cultural practices on short notice. Slavery and discrimination on the basis of sex, race, religion, caste etc. all fell out of favor in the past two centuries alone. In the face of climate change and other environmental catastrophes, I feel that the violent practice of animal agriculture is up for such consideration.
All violence has consequences. And the consequences of animal agriculture are being meted out to all of us, including those who are not consuming the products of this violence, and indeed all Life on Earth.Jul 9 2012: What makes you think plants are very different from animals in terms of a life form. I can argue eating plants is more violence than eating animals, plants are highly respectable life forms.
You have to research and innovate an energy source for human body other than life form, like from non life form of matter like coal or sunlight or electricity.
Jul 9 2012: Even if eating plants is defined as a violent act, it stands to reason that far more plants are violently affected when we feed them to animals and then wait 1-2 years for the animals to grow before eating the animals.

The problem I considered was one of drive train alignment. With the fat tire, the chain had to shift too far outside of the normal bottom bracket to rear wheel alignment, in order to clear the tire width. I also wanted to make this work with gears, as I knew the large tire would weigh a lot.
Originally I wanted to spoke up a fat tire rim with a standard bicycle hub, but this proved impossible due the the small rim size with the large tire.
After seeing one of the most creative bike ever (see Ode to the Chupacabra on
I got the idea of using a standard geared rear hub as a jack shaft or transfer hub between the front (bottom bracket) alignment and the rear tire alignment. This also solved the problem of gearing the bike, since I didn't have to mount the gears on the wheel itself. Thanks to The Atomic Zombie for instruction on one of his bike for the widened hub concept and for much other inspiration.
It weighs a lot, but it is a blast to ride and you never saw a bike get so much attention.
It took me a few months of noodling this around in my head and on paper before I started in earnest to create the "Fat Bastard" extreme fat tire sand bike. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Let me also just say, for the record:
I did not set out to make the most efficient, or lightweight, or highest performance bike I could. It was all about maximizing tire size and working out the drivetrain issue. This was for fun! And also to learn how to weld and to see where this project might lead.
amazing job there . i'm planning on doing something similar as I want to fabricate my own fatbike for beaches . for mine will be trying to make my own double width wheels by welding 2 together iditabike style . I hadnt thought of the issue of wheel rubbing against the chain but what you did with the extra chain is a clever solution .
I like it! How is the conduit frame holding up?
Thanks for sharing.
I have a Rokon, this is the eco version of it !!
I've had the wrong link out there for 4 years.
Thanks for picking that up.
I have corrected it now.
Thanks for all the tips and tricks and steps and thinking you went through with this bike!!!
I made one just like it only started with a Yamaha 7 inch fat tire dirt bike frame and disappeared the motor and transmission and welded in a Schwinn 12 speed bike frame and then proceeded to play with it until it worked. Current rendition has a 3 speed front derailer and a one speed rear. Kept the shocks and the front brake and it rides a little funny as your knees have to be out at a 45 degree angle to avoid hitting the rear shock brackets and it's one really looooooong chain with no jack-shaft like yours.
Handling in deep snow is not great due to weight of bike and geometry. Better in sand.
i cant think of a nicer bike thanks

But you know what, if they do get a team be my guest and be a LA fan.
But you know what, if they do get a team be my guest and be a LA fan.
Living in South Florida, if the Dolphins move to LA I'm picking a new team until a new team would come down here. I'd most likely become a Bucs fan.
No problem. I'll introduce the team to chili burgers at Tommy's, and the wonders of La Brea Tar Pits.
Then I'll spend several decades teaching the locals to despise the Jets, regardless if we remain in the AFC East. It won't make any sense to them but I'll explain that making sense of it has never mattered, just be prepared to lose the following week.
If Mike Dee doesn't tag along, a move might be well worth it.
The Canes can negotiate between the Coliseum and Rose Bowl until Ross builds a new home for them in Pomona.
Yes I have no problem with them moving. Crowds can't be any worse than they are now in miami
It's probably just about certain that the team isn't going to move any time soon (and I don't think it should if you ask me), but hell...teams moving all the time in sports and they STILL have a good following from the majority of their fans. The thing is nowadays, when teams move, they change their identity completely.
I'm not sure yet I would or wouldn't follow the Dolphins if they moved to Los Angeles, but being that I'm only 2 hours drive away from LA, I might follow them if they remain the Dolphins and retained their identity for the most part (colors, similar logo, etc). I root for the team...the Dolphins because of their great history, who they are...not what city they're from.
Not sure what I would do. I might find another team or quit watching the NFL altogether.
And now his fires have gone out.
If Ross plans on keeping this team then i hope they do move. As for me, i'm a MIAMI Dolfan not just a Dolfan. So if they are not in the Miami area i could care less about them.
Still banging and laughing
Yes they would be 80 miles to the North.
Thanks to brother Like2God for the great sig!

Please provide your first and last names and number attending. Student Testimonials Brad Canino The Le Moyne MBA program has been a unique and exciting experience. The program helped me to advance my core business skills, but it has also extended beyond the core curriculum and enabled deeper learning and personal growth. The Jesuit pursuit of holistic knowledge, the strong connections and mentorships I have formed, and the talent of my professors have raised a foundation of success upon which I now stand. But it will not end there - the education I received at Le Moyne will extend for a lifetime. Nicholas L. Romano, SPHR In recent years, my role as lead human resources professional has transitioned from one that had been transactional, technical, and administrative in nature to one that plays a major strategic role in the development and accomplishment of organizational goals and objectives. The MBA program provides a venue to develop strategic business skills for leadership, communication, organization, and team-building as well as the opportunity to network with other students, faculty and industry professionals. The classes at Le Moyne are led by experienced business professionals who enable discussions and interactions to take place as students are encouraged to share their business expertise, and challenge preconceptions. The MBA program is flexible for working professionals as classes are usually scheduled outside normal business hours. Le Moyne;s highly touted educational standards enable students to develop at their own pace and provides the support necessary for students reach career and educational goals in the manner that's most convenient and efficient for them. Jim Reed, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Sales, Excellus BlueCross BlueShield My experience in the Le Moyne College MBA program has been absolutely terrific. They provide a very well-rounded, professional curriculum in a setting that supports their Jesuit value structure. The smaller class sizes, and lower faculty-to-student ratio, has provided me the opportunity to take textbook learning and apply it to my current work assignments. The faculty has been great at seeking ways to bring my current work issues and challenges to projects and assignments that come with each course, thereby making it that much more valuable to my career growth. Through the part-time program, I have been able to pursue my MBA in a manner that fits with both my work and family life. When talking with other colleagues and coworkers interested in pursuing their MBA, I always recommend Le Moyne. William G. Veit '84, MBA '05, President and CEO, Badoud Communications, Inc. Upon graduating from LeMoyne's accounting program in 1984, I worked in the public accounting field for KPMG, followed by a divisional controller position for large industrial equipment supplier in Syracuse. I entered into the media industry in 1990 after being recruited by a former KPMG managing partner and LeMoyne alumni. While holding the title of CFO, I returned to Le Moyne for my MBA. While working towards my MBA degree I enjoyed collaborating with a diverse group of professionals, many of whom have become friends and business associates. Small class size throughout my MBA studies facilitated my learning and helped build these strong relationships. I appreciated academic rigor that Le Moyne provided while the flexibility and creative class structure allowed me to bring challenges facing my business into the class room. The Jesuit philosophy of educating the whole person; mind, body and spirit, as well as the idea of giving back to your community impressed me and is the reason for my current involvement in many community organizations including ReBuild Syracuse, the Syracuse Rescue Mission, and the Near West Side Initiative. David J. Barletta, MBA '96 Graduating from the Le Moyne College MBA program played a pivotal role in my success in the business arena. Not only did I leave Le Moyne College with the tools necessary to thrive in today's marketplace, I also learned the importance of fostering and maintaining good solid working relationships. Looking back, many of the ethical discussions held in class have helped me with some difficult decisions of my own. None of this would have been possible if it were not for the lessons that I learned during my time in the MBA program. Working closely with my professors and being part of a class size that welcomed open discussion, I came to appreciate the support that as a group we all had for each other. Evelyn C. Carter, MBA '02, Director of Consumer Affairs, Wegmans Food Markets, Syracuse Division My experience as a student in the Le Moyne MBA program was invaluable. The academically rigorous program challenged me to perform to high standards while simultaneously juggling a full time job. After graduating from a large institution for my undergraduate degree, the close knit feel of the MBA program at Le Moyne was refreshing. It provided a very personal approach to education. Also, the small class size enabled me to have a close professional relationship with both the students and the professors. As a working professional, the convenience of evening class times and easy access to parking was a significant, positive component of my experience. I am proud to be an alumnae of the MBA program at Le Moyne College. Kathleen A. Kolodziejczyk, MBA '96, Associate Director R&D Finance, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company While undergraduate degrees focus on developing expertise within one discipline, Le Moyne's MBA program develops an understanding of and appreciation for complementary disciplines. In today's business model - one in which Accounting and Finance personnel are expected to fully participate as partners with operations personnel - a broad-based knowledge is critical to the effective execution of a company's business objectives. Le Moyne's MBA program converts philosophical theory into practical business application which better prepares students for real life situations. The program curriculum and professors are flexible, which is particularly beneficial for working adults and students with families. I know my Le Moyne MBA has contributed greatly to continued growth and success throughout my career. Mary Walsh Brown, MBA '02, Chief Operating Officer, St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center, Syracuse, NY As Chief Operating Officer at St. Joseph's Hospital, I use what I learned in Le Moyne's MBA program every day. Aside from acquiring excellent business skills, I have a much better understanding of what it takes to be a great leader. Most of the MBA students in my class were mid-career professionals and came from many different industries. I found it fascinating to hear what was happening in other sectors. Class discussions were lively, and group projects were a simulation of all the things we had learned, including team building, conflict resolution, goal setting and process improvement. Faculty members were very accessible (even on weekends) and most of them provided their cell phone numbers to students. I vividly remember calling my statistics professor on a Sunday night to ask for assistance on an assignment. He was more than happy to help. Lastly, but not least important, the Jesuit tradition at Le Moyne is very similar to the culture of St. Joseph's, so it felt very comfortable. We share many of the values and beliefs, and we both place a strong emphasis on ethics. Mary McNeil, MBA '08 The MBA Program at Le Moyne College is truly about educating the whole person. The program is academically challenging and rich in culture. I entered the program secure in a professional career as an officer of a corporation, owned by a family member; my mission probably differed from the average candidate. Initially my charge was to advance myself academically while interacting with other executives and aiming for professional growth. As we were growing our company nationally I had to strengthen my leadership and business skills while evolving in our industry. My focus shifted quickly under the progressive influence of the Le Moyne faculty and my undertaking became more centralized around ethical and responsible corporate performance. The student faculty ratio is advantageously limited giving the professors the ability to actually develop the talents of each student. The curriculum possesses an invaluable Jesuit influence and is broadly rich in value and intellect. About Our Program The Le Moyne College Master of Business Administration (MBA) program strives to develop managers capable of making sound decisions in an increasingly complex world, and who combine the art and science of leadership in a global perspective. Today's manager must be able to analyze everything from balance sheets to socio-cultural diversity. But analysis is hardly enough. He or she must also be able to think through a plan of action, then implement it. Le Moyne's Jesuit tradition stresses ethical and value analysis as well as oral and written communication skills. All of the academic coursework needed for the MBA program is contained in the program. Applicants with little or no prior background in business, without a business or accounting undergraduate degree, or whose skills need updating, will find coursework available to meet their needs. Small classes, typically meeting once a week in the evening (along with occasional Saturday offerings), encourage close working relationships among faculty, students and staff. All faculty are doctorally qualified and publish research or consult in their respective fields. As a result, students will participate in engaging and lively discussions, addressing the management issues of the 21st century.
