We guarantee that the pictured item is an original Longines watch.
Longines is a doyen regarding the whole Swiss clock industry. The company has already been a watch shop since 1832. The watch factory, though, was established in 1866 by Ernest Francillon, a Swiss clockmaker. In 1867, it became one of the first Swiss watchmaking manufactories, winning the first gold medal for a pocketwatch at the wold exposition that very same year. This success seemed to appeal to firm owner Ernest Francillon because till 1926 Longines was able to take home a total of nine similiar prizes.
In 1952, Longines became the official timekeeper for the Olympic Games and has since then been a part of every summer and winter Olympics. The probably best known Longines watch wearer is Charles Lindbergh, who crossed the Atlantic ocean succesfully and safely with a Longines pilot's watch strapped around his thigh. Just like Humphrey Borgart in the Fifties, who looked with a melancholic stare into the camera while wearing a tonneau-shaped yellow gold Longines on his wrist.

My Bloody Valentine is a shoegaze band formed in late 1983 in Dublin, Ireland. The band's best known lineup is Kevin Shields (vocals, guitar), Bilinda Butcher (vocals, guitar), Debbie Googe (bass) and Colm Ó Cíosóig (drums). Their 1988 album Isn't Anything is generally regarded as one of the most influential records of the period, acting as an important precursor to the early '90s "shoegazing" scene. In 1991, the band released their second full length album Loveless, later declared one of the finest albums of the 1990s. Read more on Last.fm more

DIY Stone Backsplash with AirStone
61 comments:
That seriously looks amazing and so high-end! I love it. Good job, lady!ReplyDelete
Wow I love how it turned out! It really did change the entire feeling of your kitchen. Forgive me if I have been living under a rock, but what is airstone? Are they super lightweight? Are the actual stone?ReplyDelete
Gotta love those project that are easy-ish, relatively inexpensive and look amazing when completed!ReplyDelete
It completely transforms your kitchen!!ReplyDelete
I will for sure keep these in mind when I have a house of my own one day. Imagine placing these on a wall in a den or bedroom - so cool!
It looks awesome! Great job!ReplyDelete
Looks awesome! May have to look into that as an option when we get to our backsplash this spring summer.ReplyDelete
That looks FABULOUS! Amazing job.ReplyDelete
Wow, looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!ReplyDelete
Oh my gah! I LOVE! And I love the lighting under the cabinets!! Looks amazing!ReplyDelete
We have been discussing this project for some time now. You've just convinced us! We are doing it soon. Question: where did you find that lighting under the cabs? Did it come with the house? YAY Thanks for making it look so easy as I was able to convince Dana to do this hahahaReplyDelete
It makes your kitchen more elegant and cozy. I love it. Do you think the stone will be hard to clean?ReplyDelete
Looks fabulous!ReplyDelete
We don't have a backsplash and have been looking every time we go to Home Depot (current projcet = my closet). I just can't make up my mind! Yours looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
Looks great. You guys did a good job!ReplyDelete
GORGEOUS! Your kitchen is a dream.ReplyDelete
WOW! Look how much personality the stones add to your kitchen! So beautiful!! Nice job!!ReplyDelete
Looks so good! Y'all did awesome!ReplyDelete
It looks great!!! I love how it gives the kitchen a whole new look.ReplyDelete
Oooh I LOVE it! The whole kitchen looks so different! We're definitely doing a backspash in our next, soon-to-be-built house, and I'd love to do it ourselves. It always seemed so intimidating. Was it really that easy to use the saw to cut the materials? That's the scariest part to me!ReplyDelete
I love it! I'm getting ready for an easy bathroom remodel end of this week (just in time for Lovebug's 1st bday party) but the kitchen is on my to-do list. We removed ugly tile that the previous owners had for backsplash and have yet to replace it... might have to add this as a project!ReplyDelete
Great job! And I agree with another poster here, very high--end looking!
I am totally touching this... TOMORROW!!!! EEK!ReplyDelete
@Andrea - it is super light. I think its made with concrete, but you don't have to use a backer board or anything!ReplyDelete
@Heather - The hacksaw was pretty easy. We used sandpaper to even out the edges. For the lengthwise cuts, the jigsaw was much easier.
Great job Molly! Ya'll did awesome!ReplyDelete
It looks amazing!ReplyDelete
It looks fantastic!ReplyDelete
Absolutely love it! Was it hard to do? We are wanting to redo our fireplace with the same brick. It will be a BIG project, but it will look fabulous when we are done! Great job!!!!!ReplyDelete
Gorgeous touch. I love love love stone.ReplyDelete
Your backsplash looks amazing! I've been trying to decide on tiles for a backsplash and saw the product at Lowe's recently. Decided to search it on pinterest and found your blog. You sold me on the airstone and I'll be following your blog too! Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
looks gorgeous!ReplyDelete
how does it clean???
How do i find that stone? Lowes?ReplyDelete
How do i find that stone? Lowes?ReplyDelete
Any chance you could repost the pictures of the kitchen? The link to photobucket says it's not found.ReplyDelete
Did you seal it? Does it clean well with kitchen splatters?ReplyDelete
I would like to echo Tammy's post. My wife and I are considering this for our backsplash, and we are curious about sealant and kitchen clean up.ReplyDelete
You didn't mention the electrical outlets. How do you extend them out to make it all fit? I want to do this project, but don't want it to look like I did! You got beautiful results.ReplyDelete
The kitchen looks WONDERFUL!!ReplyDelete
I just finished my Air Stone back splash and love the product. It was inexpensive, easy to use and looks so warm and beautiful when completed. I highly recommend this product. I bought it at Lowes.ReplyDelete
How hard is it to clean this stone? Like splatters from food and dust? Does it wipe down easily?ReplyDelete
Love it... am curious about the questions from commenters about outlets and cleaning.. will watch for your answers.ReplyDelete
thanks for share.ReplyDelete
Amazing you done this easily, but cleaning the stones is very tough thing. I appreciate your post.ReplyDelete
Natural Stone Cleaning Arlington TX
I love that backsplash! My husband and I are in the process of doing our backsplash and an island surround with the same product, and I was wondering if you had any slight gaps that you noticed after the stone had set and if you did, what you did to help blend it back in. Our home is and older one with lots of funny shaped rooms, and things aren't perfectly level in our house, so we found a few tiny gaps (probably not any wider than coin, maybe a millimeter?) but we had white gloss paint behind it and our kitchen opens up to our back door, so when you walk in you can see the white gaps, especially when its bright outside. Just wondering if you had any ideas....?ReplyDeleteReplies
Maybe fill it in with colored caulk that matches the stone???Delete
We just did our fireplace and also have a couple small gaps. I'm thinking about using some tile grout that is similar in color to the lighter stone. I think that would look better than caulk because it would have the same texture as the stone.Delete
Did you do anything special to get the outlets to go back on, was there any issues with depth?ReplyDeleteReplies
Outlet spacers make them stick out as deep as the stone. You can get them in the electrical department at Lowes.Delete
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.ReplyDelete
Hi! I have my fireplace 95% finished with Air Stone and I love it! My question is how did you cut the air stone lengthwise? I have to cut ten pieces to fit at the top and I am having difficulty - everything else was super easy.ReplyDeleteReplies
We used a jigsaw!Delete
I cut the air stone for my top row with a chop saw. Just did my back splash, super easy!! I think you should consider doing the back of your island as well. That would like amazing.ReplyDelete
How do you extend your outlets?ReplyDelete
Having some glass splashbacks could surely enhance the beauty of this stone backsplash!ReplyDelete
question----how do you set outlets out like that....???ReplyDeleteReplies
They sell spacers at Lowes in the electrical department!Delete
Is this the vineyard blend color? Looks great!ReplyDelete
what is the box color you used? also have hard is it to clean??ReplyDelete
It's extremely crooked. Stack stone can be made entirely straight, with little to no space, if done correctly.ReplyDelete
What type of blade did you use to cut these with your chop saw?ReplyDelete
I agree it looks lovely but also my first thought is, kitchens, grease, difficult to clean. I wonder if you would comment now on that point? thanks!ReplyDeleteReplies
Pete, I'm in the process of installing this same project in my kitchen now. According to the manual, you should seal the stone after you're finished installing it. This will keep grease/food splatter from staining the stone and will make it much easier to clean.Delete
Thank you so much for posting this!! My husband are in the process of putting this backsplash in because your pictures looked so, so amazing! You are 100% to credit for the way our kitchen will look in a few weeks! We are a bit new to the world of DIY, so.. it is taking us a bit longer--we are doing ours in spurts over weekends.ReplyDelete
I have a few questions, and I would love to pick your brain..
1: I love the way that the lighting from below the cupboards highlights the stones.. do you have a specific brand/type that you would suggest?
2: is there a type of seal that you would suggest after we are done? The manual advised that, if you are putting up the arisen as a kitchen backsplash, that you should seal it after installation so that food splatter won't stain the rock and because it makes it easier to clean. We were thinking of going with a high gloss to make it almost look like wet river rock.. but I really don't know what I'm doing... any thoughts/suggestions/insights would be MOST appreciated.
Again, thank you for your blog! LOVE IT!

Coffee-mate powderThe first two ingredients are as follows: Corn Syrup Solids, Vegetable Oil (Partially hydrogenated coconut or palm kernel, canola, hydrogenated palm, soybean, cottonseed, or safflower). It's bad for you...Trans fats, and chemicals...I imagine it isn't good for bees either.
No canola, corn oil, nothing that says partially hydrogenated.
Quote from: tlynn on January 17, 2009, 01:18:05 PM No canola, corn oil, nothing that says partially hydrogenated. So no canola at all, or no hydrogenated? We have stopped using hydrogenated oils and try to avoid products that have it (talk about a challenge) and mainly use olive oil, but do use canola for deep frying.

The item was posted on the Council agenda on Thursday afternoon.
El Paso City Representative Steve Ortega, who indicated a tentative agreement for a team is already in place, said the fate of Triple-A baseball in El Paso now rests on a City Council vote on Tuesday to approve the building of an estimated $50 million ballpark on the current City Hall site. Another hurdle that must be cleared is a vote by Triple-A ownership, clearing the way for a team in El Paso.
El Paso millionaires Paul Foster and Woody Hunt have been working for two years to acquire a Triple-A team for El Paso. According to Tuesday's City Council agenda item, City Manager Joyce Wilson would work with MountainStar Sports Group, LLC in the construction of a baseball stadium.
MountainStar Sports Group was founded May 8, 2012 and has active officers that include Foster, Hunt, Scott D. Weaver, and Josh Hunt, according to business registration information with the state.
Ortega did not know if that team would come from the Pacific Coast League or the International League. But recently Foster and Hunt had been working on trying to acquire the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres, which is currently located in Tucson.
The City Hall site is most viable, according to City officials, because it is already owned by the City and could be cleared quickly. City Hall would have to be razed and relocated in order to make that happen.
The Triple-A franchise could begin playing games in Downtown El Paso as soon as Spring of 2014, according to City officials. The ballpark would likely seat 10,000 to 12,000, with a potential funding option coming from raising the Hotel Occupancy Tax two and a half percent. That would raise $35 million of the $50 million needed over a 15 year period, according to Ortega.
Mountain Star Sports Group has been working for over two years to bring a professionally-affiliated sports team to El Paso, according to a news release from the group. They have engaged two prominent sports business consulting firms to assist with the effort: California-based Barrett Sports Group, LLC, a sports management consulting firm, and Perfect Game Ventures, LLC, a sports advisory and management firm based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
"El Paso is ready for professionally-affiliated sports," Josh Hunt said in a news release. "A Triple-A baseball team and a new ballpark would be a tremendous quality-of-life opportunity for the City, as well as a catalyst for downtown revitalization and a boost to economic development. We believe a Triple-A team would be well-received by residents, and we intend to make it a true community asset and El Paso's team."
El Paso has been without an affiliated baseball team since 2004 when the El Paso Diablos franchise, formerly a Double-A minor league team, was moved to the midwest. An ownership group then brought the Diablos back as an independent baseball team about a year later.
El Paso Diablos officials had no comment regarding the possibility of a Triple-A baseball team being brought to El Paso.
The full agenda items related to the Triple-A team and a Downtown baseball stadium are below:
"Discussion and action on a Resolution that the City Manager be authorized to sign the Term Sheet as agreed upon by the City of El Paso and Mountain Star Sports Group, LLC, in order to signal the creation of the public/private partnership and the intent of the City Council to construct a public sports facility ("Ballpark") in the event the investors are able to purchase a Triple-A Minor League Baseball Franchise and relocate it to El Paso; that the City Council intends to locate the Ballpark on the site currently occupied by City Hall, Insights Museum, the Community Garden and the supporting parking area fronting on Franklin Street and authorizes the City Manager to take measures to complete the planning for the redevelopment of such site and to take steps to make the site available for the construction, including termination of leasehold interests, and to move forward to formulate long term and short term execution plans for the relocation of City operations from the City Hall site to other locations in the downtown area for the construction of the Ballpark; that the City Manager be authorized to proceed with proposed financing plan to include the possible use of (i) a venue hotel occupancy tax if approved by the voters at a duly-called election; (ii) lease revenue bonds issued by a local government corporation formed by the City; and/or (iii) other debt obligations issued by or on behalf of the City for the construction and development of the Ballpark; and that the City Manager or her designee be authorized to negotiate a contract containing the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet for the construction and future operations and maintenance of the Ballpark and to present it to City Council for consideration upon completion of the negotiations."
Other items on Tuesday's agenda also are related to the construction of a baseball park downtown, including:
Discussion and action on a presentation of the Downtown Sports Complex Study as developed by Urban Design and discussion and action on a presentation of the financial impacts of a downtown stadium.

The Oil And Gas Information Technology Innovation Dilemma
The hydrocarbon logistics chain of natural gas and crude oil connects globally distributed exploration and production sites with industrial and private consumers via pipelines, tankers, rail cars, and trucks with massive intermediate buffering storage and conversion facilities (tank farms, refineries, gas plants); it is the lifeblood of our energy supply chain today and for the coming decades.
More than 75 million barrels of oil and 300 billion cubic feet of natural gas are produced, transported, and consumed all over the globe — every day. Along the complex transportation chain, these special bulk products, both liquids and gases, are transferred between the different modes of transportation, resulting in a number of challenges based on complex measurements of product volumes and masses:

Changes proposed to police reviews in Portland
City Auditor LaVonne Griffin-Valade will introduce a package of reforms to Portland's police accountability system to City Council on October 23, 2013 at 2:00 in Council Chambers. The changes are aimed at providing the Auditor's Independent Police Review (IPR) division with increased authority to conduct investigations of alleged police officer misconduct.
IPR was created in 2001 as a division of the City Auditor's Office, with a mission of improving police accountability and promoting higher standards in police services. Most of the proposed reforms now coming before City Council implement the police accountability portions of the settlement agreement between the United States Department of Justice and the City of Portland.
Among the proposed code changes:
• Authorize IPR to directly question Police Bureau employees and compel their testimony
• Implement a discipline guideline to allow for fair and consistent discipline
• Create 180-day timeline for administrative investigations
• Expand the Citizen Review Committee (CRC) to 11 members
• Authorize CRC members to serve on Police Review Boards (PRB) in use-of-force cases
• Provide a template for PRB public reports
• Require more detailed public reports for officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths

Green Bay Travels to Wichita To Close Out 2012
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay women's basketball team (8-2) will travel to Wichita, Kans., to play its final nonconference road matchup of the 2012-13 season in a battle against Wichita State (6-5) on Sunday, Dec. 30 with the tip set for 1:05 p.m. The Phoenix has not played the Shockers since the 2002-03 season, and the two teams are split in just two all-time meetings.
Green Bay is coming off a key 53-38 home win against Wisconsin, a game which saw the Badgers held to a program-worst 10 points in the first half. In addition to limiting the Badgers to just 38 points on the night, the Phoenix forced 25 turnovers and outscored Wisconsin 38-6 in the paint. Redshirt senior Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) led Green Bay with 13 points, including a 1:04 stretch in the second half where she scored seven consecutive points.
The win against the Badgers improved Green Bay to 2-0 against other in-state Division I teams this season, and the 25 Wisconsin turnovers were just one shy of tying the season-high 26 forced at Marquette on Dec. 8. The win over Wisconsin also improved Green Bay's senior class to 4-0 against the Badgers.
Wichita State has won three straight and four of its last five having last played in a 61-59 win at SMU on Dec. 22. The Shockers are 4-1 at home this season, with wins against UTSA, Grambling, Northern Colorado and Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Both Green Bay and Wichita State competed in the 2012 Cancun Challenge from Nov. 22-24, but did not face each other while south of the border. The Phoenix went 2-1 with wins against Missouri and Richmond and a loss to James Madison, while the Shockers went 0-3 against the same teams.
In two all-time meetings, Green Bay is split 1-1 with Wichita State. The last meeting came during the 2002-03 season, a home win for the Phoenix. The Shockers won the meeting at home the season prior.
Following Sunday's contest, Green Bay will ring in the New Year with three straight home games, starting with its final nonconference matchup of the season against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 5 at 2 p.m. The Bonnies advanced to the Sweet 16 of the 2012 NCAA tournament before falling to eventual National Runner-Up Notre Dame.
The Phoenix will open Horizon League play on Jan. 8 against Detroit, and remain at home to host Wright State on Jan. 12.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Fans can listen to Bruce VandenPlas on the call on WDUZ The Fan 107.5 FM. The Broadcast will be played tape-delayed following the Packers Pregame Show. Live stats and Live pay-per view video will also be available for the game against Wichita State. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixWBB and @JustinGrones on Twitter for updates throughout the game.
SENSION'S NEW DIMENSION: Redshirt senior Stephanie Sension continues to impress in her starting role this season after leading Green Bay with 13 points against Wisconsin. The Hopkins, Minn. native is averaging 11.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game and also has a team-high six blocks. Averaging 27.1 minutes per game, Sension is also shooting 45.7 percent from the field.
AGAIN: After playing consecutive home
games for the first time this season last week, Sunday's game at Wichita State will
be the seventh of 11 games this season that Green Bay will play away from home.
The Phoenix holds a 4-2 record in road or neutral site games this season.
DOWN-LOW DOMINANCE: Head coach Kevin Borseth challenged his team to dominate the paint against Wisconsin, and his players responded by outscoring the Badgers 38-6 in the lane. In the previous game, the Phoenix tied a season high when it outscored North Dakota State 46-16 in the paint. Green Bay has outscored opponents 314-192 in the paint this season and has only been outscored once in the paint through 10 games. Over the previous three games, the Phoenix holds a 110-34 advantage down low.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will ring in 2013 with the nonconference
finale, a home contest against St. Bonaventure on Jan. 5. Horizon League play will
begin just three days after with the Phoenix hosting Detroit Jan. 8 and Wright
State on Jan. 12.

Is anyone currently producing rubber Fett rifles? There would seem to be a huge market for these, now that Hyperfirm isn't producing anymore.
So, rubber casters, who is up to the task?

Is anyone currently producing rubber Fett rifles? There would seem to be a huge market for these, now that Hyperfirm isn't producing anymore.
So, rubber casters, who is up to the task?
The Hyperfirm guys said that they had ESB Fett blasters when I emailed them about 2 months ago... Was that just the last of their stock, or...?
I would love to do a ROTJ but, I need a base gun. I have the rest of the parts or I can have them made.
Asok, you'd think someone would offer one up to you. Would you be able to work a deal with them, say a free rubber version, if they let you borrow theirs to cast?
I would love a rubber blaster!! I've been looking out for one, if someone does start to make runs, I am very interested.
Me too! Lol, I can just see everyone wacking each other with their blasters. Hmm...wait, that didn't come out right.
I think alot of people would like to get their hands on one.;) Currently the market value on these has gone through the roof!:eek
So who wants to 'donate' their W&S to Asok for research and development?
Hey Bats, pm sent.
So how much might a rubber blaster run?
Seeing I was looking into this for an E11 here goes. If I would do one I would want to use all found parts. Not copies. So, we would need:
machined barrel
Bomb halfs - have that
V8 cover - have that
other plate - trying to have it made
Then about 6 gallons of stuff to make the mold at about $150 for 2 gallons
Wood to make the forums.
So, to make the mold could cost over $1,000 and not a single one has been made. Not sure on the resin yet. The stuff that I have been using is about $45 a gallon. So, is is not a cheap idea.
I would but mine's not accurate enough and it's esb. No stock details and no blocks. made from scratch ( a .357 and reworked with scratch parts to make the barrel). he would have to smooth out some rough ( bondo) on one side. But at least it wouldn't be a recast hunh
Id be interested no matter what was made, but would PREFER to get my hands on an ESB!!
-Tony Vida; TK 3204; Austin, Tx
If got a real one. If you wanna use it, Id bee more than willing to offer it to the services Bill.
Asok, would you be selling W&S kits with the ESB and ROTJ parts separately? Or would you end up making a mould for both the ESB and ROTJ rifle?
find enough people to prepay for one and you've got the broke part taken care of, and it looks like Gilmore of OK has one he'd be willing to let you use for the project. X times Y = MOLD where X= number or people willing to prepay, Y = the price you are wanting to charge for the finished product and MOLD = the total price of making the mold and getting started.
Still interested...
-Tony Vida; TK 3204; Austin, Tx
i've got to imagine a lot of people would want these if this project comes together. almost everyone who has seen my hyperfirm has commented on wanting one ;)
Do we have someone who has a real W&S to lend Asok? Without that, this project is going nowhere fast.
I will be willing to pre-pay in order to help out Asok for the mould and casting.
Same here.Quote:
I will be willing to pre-pay in order to help out Asok for the mould and casting.
Also, how much does a real W&S cost?
-Tony Vida; TK 3204; Austin, Tx
I think he meant I've, not If... but I could be wrong. Someone might want to send Gilmore of OK a PM.Quote:
If got a real one. If you wanna use it, Id bee more than willing to offer it to the services Bill
-Tony Vida; TK 3204; Austin, Tx
I'd just like to add to this thread because I don't wan't to see Asok get pressured into something he might not be prepared to tackle. I'm not saying anything against Asok and his molding/casting abilities but as far as reproduction is concerned these blasters are tough. I have PERSONALLY been to the shop and seen the guns and the molds. I know exaclty what products are used and the process in which these casting are created. IT IS NOT AS EASY AS POURING IN SOME GOO and popping out a rubber gun. It is a tricky multi-step process where many mistakes can be made and a lot of wasted time and money spent if you make mistakes.
I don't mean to come off as an arse, I just want to offer fair warning to anyone thinking of stepping into the shoes. Heck I've thought about it many times.

Adult and Child Psychiatry Neuroscience Research Track
The Department of Psychiatry is one of the leading research departments in the country and annually ranks in the top 20 in NIH/federally-funded research grants. To facilitate the development of psychiatrists who excel as clinicians and scientists, the Department has created a specialized Adult and Child Psychiatry Neuroscience Research Track (RT). Through formal instruction, mentorship, and the completion of a research project, RT residents have a structured, supportive pathway towards scientific and professional development in psychiatric neuroscience.
The training involves 5 years of integrated and specialized clinical and research training with protected research time in years 3-5 of the residency, designed to progressively increase (e.g., 30-40 percent in the PGY 3 year, 70 percent in the PGY 4 year and 80-90 percent in PGY 5 year). In addition, post-residency fellowship training may be recommended, if appropriate. The goal of the RT is to ideally position the RT graduate to be competitive for a career development grant ('K Award') that will facilitate the transition into a tenure-track faculty position.
Visit to learn more: http://www.psych.uic.edu/research-during-residency/adult-psychiatry-neuroscience-research-track
Opportunities and benefits afforded to RT residents include:
- Supportive, structured process and plan to link the RT resident with appropriate research mentor(s)
- Monthly workshop ('Colloquium for Junior Scholars) dedicated to RT residents, postdoctoral fellows and junior faculty focused on scientific and career development topics
- Formal protected research time away from clinical training obligations
- Pilot funding for lab supplies, other research project costs, and travel expenses to attend scientific conferences
- Assistance and support for applications for Travel Awards to scientific conferences, NIH Loan Repayment Program, and other awards to enhance extramural training (e.g, NIMH 'Brain Camp')
- NIH NIMH-supported T32 Postdoctoral Training Program in the Neuroscience of Mental Health
- Masters of Science degree in Neuroscience or Masters in Public Health (MPH) during the training period when appropriate
- Constructive internal review of applications for career development and pilot grants
- Salary augmentation (e.g., stipend) in years 3-5 of the RT residency

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by FSWer, Feb 14, 2013.
Does anyone know if she is still with Scott?
Yes. They just finished 2nd at the Four Continents Championships in Japan this past week and will compete at Worlds in Canada next month.
Here's the link to their official site: http://virtuemoir.com/
track them on my blog, compulsorydances.blogspot.ca/
odd question...why do you ask?
It's a genuine question by FSWer. He usually can only watch some of the competitions televised on NBC and doesn't have access to YouTube videos.
^doesn't he have access to results and competition comments in this forum or other websites?
It might be easier for some to start a thread on a message board to ask this question than google Tessa Virtue or check latest results in ice dance competitions.
in all fairness to hsgp21, there is the v/m thread where we obsess over everything v/m. and it's always in the trash can, page one, and usually the top thread on that page.
In all fairness to FSWer, he is not an uber and is likely not interested in reading obsessive threads.
Was that necessary?
FSW, you just keep asking whatever it is you would like to know. There are enough nice people on this board that are happy to answer you. Sylvia is the nicest one ever. Don't worry about the ones who think you should know everything that they know.
If you can see iggie's blog you'll see lots of nice pictures.
I was in-boxed yesterday about the "elephant in the room" in a very polite manner as i made a sarcastic reply similar to some posters who felt this question was perhaps odd. I as more than happy to change my reply as i was enlightened about why the answer that i felt was obvious was not obvious to everyone. I believe in the respect of everyone as well as patience and tolerance but those who are not privy to certain tidbits about certain posters shouldn't be made to feel bad either for their knee-jerk reaction to the question posed. There is a way to be discrete about everything but pretending that posters like HSGP21 or robinhood are over reacting is not really fair either...seriously. You dont know what you dont know...
What is so sacred about coming into a thread that one has no interest in and complaining about the topic? It's possible to decide "I'm not interested" or "I don't want to answer" and to move on without comment.
I agree.
I agree. If anyone has information that would be helpful for another poster to have, I hope people would send a private message to that poster. To criticize someone you think is being too critical doesn't really make sense, does it?
I totally agree. Once in response to a comment I made on a thread, I had some people politely PM with information to help me understand the situation which I really appreciated. But then got totally lambasted by someone in the rudest fashion for my comment. They assumed that because I had been a forum member for a long time that I should have been aware of the situation. Lesson - never assume anything about anybody!
ITA, wise advice, but I guess often difficult to heed. I opened the thread thinking that it might be something about how Tessa is feeling after the break in their FD at 4CC being attributed to problems with her legs. I was definitely surprised to see the OP's question, but I didn't feel overly judgmental about it one way or another. In fact, it made me think, did I miss something?
Oh well, patience and tolerance are virtues (which Tessa definitely seems to possess).
Very well said
FSWer,don't stop asking if you want to know something.I'm sure a lot of people are willing to answer.You know how many times I've seen a thread about a skater I didn't know and didn't dare to ask?
I totally agree with quartz.
How about maybe taking a deep breath before having a knee jerk reaction to a simple question that is not put rudely?
I think it's reasonable for people on a skating forum to wonder why someone would ask certain questions rather than Googling, or watching competitions - and we all know that FSU can be a snarky place. I was in the same situation as arakwafan, and I fully agree that you can't always tell if there are good reasons for someone to ask these sort of questions. There's no need to criticize the person who asked, but also no need to criticize the people who don't realize that certain types of replies may not be appropriate in a given situation. Plus, all this can be done behind the scenes.
I believe by now FSWer knows what Tessa is up to these days, so it's all good.
Did YOU take a deep breath before you posted this sarcasm laced passive aggressive message? If so, i'd say up your meds, stop taking the forum so seriously or join a kickboxing class to relieve some frustration. I gotta say Yazmeen, i dont read patient, kind of polite in your message. I almost read "knee jerk"
I will say that I am glad that I didn't post anything to/about the OP that would have hurt or scarred. I still dont know why people think that a forum that even has a place labeled "trash can" would be free from snark LOL. I will however be more conscientious and still appreciated the discrete explanation i got. EVERYONE should be able to post here and enjoy the site. Tolerance is sorta important even to people you dont agree with. Controversy; well thats just something adults have to learn to deal with. It builds character and is actually quite entertaining.
Good to see FSWer posting again. They have been very quiet for quite some time. Welcome back!
Nicely done, my dear, your little tantrum just illustrated the point I was trying to make. And my question wasn't sarcasm; I've seen people act rudely toward what they think is "obvious" before; why would it hurt to just NOT react and see what develops? For the record, I have nothing against you or your posts. I just think there's no harm in taking a moment to think why someone might be asking what seems to be an obvious question.
And yes, it is nice to see FSWer back, I especially enjoy some of the skating history topics he brings up from time to time.
Well,I think your one off the nicest people yourself. I was just thinking..it might be great to start a forum on the Boards to keep up with Split or Retired Skaters/Partnerships.As skaters and Partnerships are changing and (or) Retiring every Day or year.
When I saw the question I thought that after some suggesting Scott was po'd with Tessa about what happened at 4CC, she thought that the two were at odds and decided to split.

DENISON - "It's going to take an awfully good team to beat them. I predict they'll win their third straight title. They are a pretty talented team," said Glenwood boys basketball coach Curt Schulte in describing the Bishop Heelan basketball team.
Beginning Saturday, Feb. 26, residents of southwest Iowa - including Glenwood, Mineola, Silver City, Council Bluffs and four other communities that enjoy having unlimited local calling to the Omaha metro area - will have to dial the three-digit area code plus the seven-digit telephone number to complete their call.
TABOR - Representatives from the Sidney and Fremont-Mills boards of education are scheduled to meet in Tabor tonight (Wednesday, Feb. 23) to discuss opportunities to expand the sharing of resources between the two school districts.
The meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the Fremont-Mills School Media Center.
The two districts, both members of the Corner Conference, currently share resources and expenses in several areas, including transportation, maintenance and business services.
SILVER CITY - Things are going well these days for Gordon May American Legion Post 439.
It's hard to believe just a few years ago there was concern the post might dissolve because of declining membership.
"We were down to about 25 members," Post Commander Jim Schoening recalls. "I knew a lot of people who were veterans, but the problem we had here is we didn't have a building."
The Glenwood boys basketball team came out the aggressors on both ends of the court against Atlantic with a 23-5 run to open the game and never let up the intensity in a resounding 62-46 Class 3A, Substate 1 opening round victory on Monday.
MONDAMIN – A gallant fourth-quarter comeback by Glenwood's girls basketball team came up just short last Wednesday in the opening round of Class 3A, District 8 play.
After a 1-4 opening round at the Iowa State Wrestling Tournament the Glenwood wrestling team bounced back to place 22nd as a team behind medal-winning performances by Steven Gutschenritter and Nate Harms.
Waverly-Shell Rock was the Class 3A champion for the fourth straight time with 152 team points. Iowa City West was a close second with 150, followed by Bettendorf with 148.
MALVERN - The East Mills boys basketball team held Stanton to seven first half points to advance to the Class 1A, District 15 semifinals on Thursday with a decisive 45-18 victory over the Vikings.
East Mills coach Kevin Schafer commended the play of his defense in the win, but the coach was quick to point out Stanton entered the game a struggling offensive basketball team.
The Glenwood girls basketball team improved to 16-5 on the season with an impressive 65-36 rout of Denison on Friday on the road in Hawkeye 10 Conference play.
Glenwood jumped out to an early 10-2 lead, but the Monarchs answered to pull within a point at 12-11 to end the first quarter.
The game went back and forth during a fast paced second quarter, but each time Denison closed the gap, the Rams responded with a run of their own to keep the lead.
Semi-professional football is coming to Mills County.
The Mills County Militia will begin its inaugural season in the semi-pro Central Plains Football League this season with a home opener on March 19. The Militia will play its home games just east of Malvern.

Providing support, information, and advisement to our students, field training sites, and our faculty.
Many people are involved with the training of Counseling and Psychology students both on and off campus. As a learning team, we work together to provide the best possible experiences for students during their internships. The learning team consists of the graduate student, the site supervisors, Clinical Practice & Supervision instructors, faculty advisors, and the directors of the Field Training Office. Our main responsibilities include providing quality sites, insuring that site supervisors meet licensure and regulatory requirements and that the clinical instructors for the on campus course make the required site visits and monitor student progress. The team is responsible to see that the students' experiences meet the competencies and standards as articulated by program policies, and the ethical codes of the ACA, ASCA and AMHCA. The Field Training Office monitors the documentation of the practicum and internship experience so that students will have the necessary paperwork when they apply for licensure. Upon graduation, our Licensure Advisor helps students in their application process.
Stay Informed, and Keep On-Track
In mid-semester of each year the Field Training Office hosts an informational meeting for students considering internship. Each student needs the approval of their faculty advisor in order to pursue internship. Major criteria include the completion of 7 required courses as stated in the Learning Goals contract, as well as the approval of the instructor of the Clinical Skills and Counseling Process course. At our informational meeting we review the necessary prerequisites as well as provide the information students need in order to begin their search. Students receive an internship packet with an internship search guide, information on how to use the web-based approved site list, and a copy of the necessary contract to be signed. Field training requirements necessary to meet licensure as either a LMHC, school guidance counselor, or school adjustment counselor are reviewed. Each student will know what they need to complete in terms of overall hours, clinical contact and supervision based on her/his program. These details regarding the requirements of students and their sites are provided at this meeting and at subsequent meetings with the Associate Director, as well as in the Field Training handbook which students, site supervisors and clinical faculty will receive at the start of the internship year.
Field Training Site and Professional Development
The Field Training Office provides oversight and consultation to the sites as well as professional development opportunities to both site supervisors and campus clinical instructors in the interest of providing our students the best possible opportunity to learn how to be counseling professionals.

text: 17800393 HT383E What's Hot? Four-bolt mains Perfect truck/SUV upgrade Easy installation An emissions-legal small-block that brings on the torque for your '96''99 GM truck/SUV! The HT383E crate engine from GM Performance Parts is an exciting new extension of our 'High Torque' line that is especially designed for your '96''99 half-ton, full-sized GM pickup trucks and SUVs, with the L31 350. The HT383E is a direct replacement for your high-mileage 5.7L stock engine. The HT383E offers you the same brute strength of our HT383: forged steel crank, 4-bolt main cast iron block, and a camshaft designed for towing and hard work. With 383 cubic inches, you also get a broad torque band that peaks at 3600 rpm with horsepower peaking at 4500 rpm. Our GM Performance Parts engineers designed the HT383E so that installation is as easy as possible. Simply swap your new HT383E in place of your existing 5.7L engine using your stock intake manifold, wiring harness, and fuel injection system. The stock computer adapts to the new HT383E, and you suddenly have a stump-pulling, big-inch small-block at your disposal. Go with the HT383E, and get the job done right! I am considering installing the above described GM Performance Parts engine in my wife's 1999 1/2 ton Suburban. Does anyone here have any experience of using this same engine and is the stock transmission enough to handle the torque or are there some modifications that need to be done? A brake upgrade from SSBC is also in the plans.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 533
I've just done 75 because
a) this is my first zine and I don't know what I'm doing
b) there are a few places that I wanted to stock it so I have printed 10 copies for each of them, plus a few for interested friends, plus a few for trade, plus about 25 in my back pocket for selling on etsy and just in case I bump into anyone who wants to trade.
I have to pay for my copying and the price comes down after a certain amount so it all makes a kind of sense eventually.
The first 5 or 6 issues of my zine were really badly written and laid out, my friends and I just had no idea what we were doing. So I just stopped selling back issues of those. The punk zine archive guy asked permission to scan them in and I said yes, but kinda cringed at people looking at them again. Oh well, I'm sure it's the same way for most zinesters. No one does a killer first issue, save for maybe Jim Goad with Answer Me. I wonder what the first issue of Cometbus was like...You answered your own question here about zines being sold out. Imagine ten years going by or more. Imagine how much a person's perspective, ideas, and personality changes in THAT time; even in adulthood. There's undoubtedly many things printed in my zines that are still circulating that I would have done differently now.
I never understood the idea of zines being "sold out" because I figured "well, why can't you just print up more?"
I would like to openly challenge anyone doing zine runs of 10-30 issues to double their next print run. You're going to so much work to create your zine, and to provide your own unique voice and perspective in the world of publishing--which let's face it gets more and more consolidated every day--that it's a crying shame that your zine doesn't reach more people. Even a few dozen more people. Try printing more issues, sending more out for review, and growing your audience and reach. Make an impact with your DIY publishing venture, even if it's small. Gawd knows the world needs more independent voices.

Rule 60.02: Mistakes — Inadvertence — Excusable Neglect — Fraud, etc.
On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party or the party's legal representative from a final judgment, order or proceeding for the following reasons: (1) mistake, inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect; (2) fraud (whether heretofore denominated intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation, or other misconduct of an adverse party; (3) the judgment is void; (4) the judgment has been satisfied, released or discharged, or a prior judgment upon which it is based has been reversed or otherwise vacated, or it is no longer equitable that a judgment should have prospective application; or (5) any other reason justifying relief from the operation of the judgment. The motion shall be made within a reasonable time, and for reasons (1) and (2) not more than one year after the judgment, order or proceeding was entered or taken. A motion under this Rule 60.02 does not affect the finality of a judgment or suspend its operation, but the court may enter an order suspending the operation of the judgment upon such terms as to bond and notice as to it shall seem proper pending the hearing of such motion. This rule does not limit the power of a court to entertain an independent action to relieve a party from a judgment, order or proceeding, or to set aside a judgment for fraud upon the court. Writs of error coram nobis, bills of review and bills in the nature of a bill of review are abolished, and the procedure for obtaining relief from a judgment shall be by motion as prescribed in these rules or by an independent action.
Advisory Commission Comments.
60.01: This Rule supersedes the provisions of Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 20-1508 [repealed], 20-11-106 and 20-11-107, although it is generally consistent with the purpose of those statutes. The provisions of the Rule are somewhat more flexible than the statutory procedures.
60.02: This Rule supersedes chapter 7 of Title 27, T.C.A., dealing with the writ of error coram nobis, and Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 27-203, 27-204 [both repealed] dealing with bills of review. The Committee felt that it was better to bring together under one Rule the subject matter formerly covered by these statutes and to provide a simple remedy by motion or by separate suit to obtain relief under the circumstances set out in the Rule.
Advisory Commission Comments [2009].
A modified Rule 60 procedure to obtain relief from a general sessions court judgment is available by statute, T.C.A. § 16-15-727.Back to Top

FINALLY starting my Mando build. The main factor in the delay was: The Army kept getting in the way (also hard to get the right facilities in the barracks for what I'm doing). Now that I'm out, I can finally start presenting my scratch build beskar'gam.
The body suit is a pair of my old Nomex CVC Coveralls from my days as a Bradley and Stryker crewmember. For the armor pieces, I am using 16 gauge aluminum. Everything's going to be pretty simple, the only thing I can think of that will take some work will be the helmet. I will also be crafting some beskad's to go with it as well, so, stay tuned!
Most of the tracing was pretty easy, the only thing that took some work was the front collar, it was a little short for my liking, but after 3 tries, I was able to extend it adequately and keep it fairly even. I'm going to be cutting out and starting to shape pieces today, and will post more when done.

California's Supreme Court struck a blow for the rights of gays and lesbians by ruling the state ban on same sex marriages was unconstitutonal. "Our state now reognizes that an individual's capacity to establish a loving and long-term committed relationship with another person, and responsibly to care for and raise children does not depend upon the individual's sexual orientation, and, more generally, that an individual's sexual orientation– like a person's race or gender– does not constitute a legitimate basis upon which to deny or withhold legal rights."
There undoubteldy will be an uproar from many sectors of the California population at the court's decision and cries will be made that it takes away the right of people to decide what takes place in their state. As Rea Carney, of the National gay and Lesbian Task Force, put it: "Thank you California for standing up for safety, respect and dignity for our families. The high court's decision comes down to this simple yet profound principle: all Californians should be treated equally under the law."
The United States of America is a constitutional government because the founding fathers feared the momentary emotional feelings of a majority might transcend rights of the minority. That is why we have a supreme court.

Denver • The Jazz scored only two field goals in the second quarter and none in the final 8:25, boosting the Nuggets to a 53-38 halftime lead at Pepsi Center.
The Jazz led 27-26 at the end of the first quarter, but Enes Kanter's tip-in that put the Jazz up 34-32 proved to be the team's last basket of the quarter as the Nuggets closed the half on a 21-4 run.
Denver forward Kenneth Faried led all scorers with 14 points, and added eight rebounds. The Jazz had no such performance. Each of the 10 who played socred for the Jazz, but Paul Millsap led the way with 6 points.
The Jazz (2-3) are trying to avoid going to 0-4 on the road, particularly in a game against a Northwest Division rival.
The Jazz shot 33.3 percent from the floor in the first half, missing their final 11 shots. Six of their 10 turnovers came in the final 8:25 of the quarter, which was the Jazz's worst stretch of the season.
