Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by CoCo, Sep 29, 2012.
And in the scouting process.
i really just wish we'd start winning again so all of us can get along.
Even if we did people would still fight.
Uhhh, I'm pretty sure we won this week. :laugh2:
Yea, i hear you guys. I really wish people could just rationally discuss the topics that are brought up instead of always breaking off threads into some other silly discussion like who uses the ignore feature and how.
...that it leaves something to be desired, but we have invested in Callahan and we have to give him a chance to earn his keep.
It's too early to be writing off the season.
BTW, I think we win the East with a 9-7 record.
I hope so. Maybe they need more time to gel or the teams we have faced were pretty good upfront. I predicted a Super Bowl for the Cowboys at the start of the season. That prediction i am having second thoughts about because of the offensive line play.
...there are parts fo the team that are less than desireable right now.
As fans we have to let the coaches coach.
One of the best things I have seen over the past 10 years is a better focus by fans, forums and media on the discussion of the technical side of the game.
It deepens our fan experience and makes us more informed on where we should be throwing our darts.
We all must remember it's a 16 game season and like any other organization one year does not make a legacy.
Garrett is on the start line of his legacy. it has not all been roses, but as much as any other coach who has come before him, he has the tools from what media and others have said.
Last year I attended the Rams game and I focused in the warm ups on Garrett and Ryan. I can tell you with my humble and feeble opinion that the Cowboys had the right guy as the head coach.
Honestly you should have seen Campo. My guess would have been counter to yours. This is not the Superbowl year. We have a chance every year just like any other team, but I feel that Garrett needs another year to work on the roster.
Based on Parcells need and opportunity rule this was the year they focused on the secondary. I can live with that. I willing to bet one of the reasons why they did so was because Callahan possibly put his two cents in to say he could handle the line this year and roll towards the secondary.
It's a relatively new staff and they need us to give them a chance.
Antonio is the one who has held the franchise hostage for years now!
The offensive line is a mere scapegoat for lil' Antonio's failures.
When Kyle Orton steps in for an injured Antonio, you will see a vast improvement in line play!
The line will pass protect better for Orton.The line will open up running lanes for Murray with Orton at QB!
Orton will get the ball down field, and the Cowboys will score points in droves!
With Orton at QB, Austin and Dez will prove to the naysayers that they are a better duo than Jones and White!
And I will simply post three final words on this forum:I told you!
Are those really your final three words?
When Orton proves that I am correct, they will be my final three words!
Ok. I'm not going to hold my breath though.
I would have LOVED if they had drafted a quality guard/center this year. I think the future RT is already on the team in Jeremy Purnell...
The players Dallas brought in this offseason lacked consistency before they were brought here. The folly of Garrett and Callahan appears to be believing they could change that.
Maybe over time Callahan can get them where he wants. (I don't count out the possibility.) The problem I have with the plan is the Cowboys didn't need to surround its franchise quarterback with projects, they needed to put proven ability in front of him.
This just isn't the time to be working on a project line. If not for the defense, Dallas would be 1-2 right now.
1 playoff win since the start of the 1997 season makes defending Jerry Jones' record as a general manager/owner extremely difficult. That piece of evidence is a dagger to the heart of any argument defending Jerry Jones' record as a GM of the Dallas Cowboys. Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have written the book on how to overrate and overpay "star" players (leading to salary cap problems), make stupid trades (Roy E. Williams/Joey Galloway), give big drafts away (2009), and hire puppet head coaches or inexperienced head coaches. Until a legit NFL GM is in charge of building the Cowboys, they will continue to be mediocre and fail, imo.
I'd rather have Mike Pouncy over a couple of Dallas' overrated skill players on offense, however, he isn't walking through that door. Many teams, winning teams, have offensive line issues. That shouldn't be an excuse for team failure, imo.
The Bears have offensive line issues, and I'm pretty sure Aaron Rodgers was sacked 8 times in one half by the Seahawks. I saw the 49ers beat the daylights out of Eli Manning (in the NFC Championship Game). Manning won the game, anyway.
What gives you that feeling?
I said all of this in April after the draft that the o-line hadn't been addressed and would be a massive problem and all i got was abuse. Seems i was right.
Yep, 100% accurate. This Oline is destroying all the good everyone else is doing. Thats the importance of a good Oline. Its too bad Jerry and Garrett cant see that. Truely pathetic actually. Most of the entire fan base has known this for years. Why cant the dopes running the show figure it out? Very sad. Romo, Ware, witten, their career have basically been wasted by Jones and Garretts failure to address the Oline.
:doh: Could have had an O-Line.

Luckily most of my other files are still accessible and it appears that there's network connectivity. How can I re-store the var to what it was before I deleted it? Is there a system restore feature like in Windows or what?

Hello everyone!
Here's my great question!
Using SET (or doing it manually) combined with the Java applet attack creates a self-signed jar file.
I'd like to know if there's a way to fake a third-party certificate for your own applet.
I know that the security warning would still shows up, but thie time indicating that the applet is certified and not only self-signed.
I've googled it and searched the forum too but with no results. The only "answers" I've found were speaking about self-signing (which is not the point, self-signing is already done) and/or paying a third-party to approve the applet, which wouldn't be a fake cert, but a true one!
Has anyone a clue on how to do it? If It's even possible.
PS : Considering the context is during a MITM attack, would it be easier for the attacker to fake a certificate since he owns the web trafic?
I thank by advance everyone willing to give a hint on this!
Thanks :).

FftScope is the first released external visualization scope for AlsaPlayer
It will hopefully be a good starting point for others.
The scope API is generic enough to be useful in other projects.
The ultimate goal is to create a system wide visualization by either tapping

Highlights of the third fiscal quarter and nine months include:
» Revenue for the 2014 third fiscal quarter (i.e., the three months ended October 31, 2013) increased 309 percent to $2.2 million vs. $536,000 compared with fiscal 3Q 2013. For the nine-month period ended October 31, 2013, revenue increased 228% to $4.6 million compared with $1.4 million in the year-ago nine-month period.
» Increased grocery retailer penetration to 8,000 authorized locations as of October 31, 2013, compared with 500 locations at the end of the third quarter last year helped contribute to the growth in revenue.
» Gross profit increased to $811,000 in the 2014 third fiscal quarter compared with $153,000 in the year-ago third fiscal quarter. For the nine months ended October 31, 2013, gross profit was $1.8 million compared with $295,000 in the year-ago nine-month period.
» Gross profit margins increased to 37/% in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 from 29% in the year-ago third fiscal quarter.
» Operating expenses for the third fiscal quarter 2014 were $1.5 million compared with $1.0 million in the year-ago third fiscal quarter, and $3.1 million for the nine months ended October 31, 2013 compared with $3.0 million in the year-ago nine-month period. While operating expenses increased by 50%, revenues increased by 309% highlighting the companies' ability to scale well.
» Net loss was $1.4 million or $0.01 per share for the third fiscal quarter of 2014, compared with a net loss of $945,000, or $0.01 per share, in the year-ago third fiscal quarter. October 31, 2013 was a non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt of $684,000 and $1.1 million, respectively and non-cash equity compensation of $601,000 and $1.6 million, respectively. That loss on extinguishment of debt was specifically due to the financing transaction by Ironridge. The losses relate to a non-cash true up of certain amounts due to Ironridge under the July 2013 transaction and represent the value of shares of common stock issuable to satisfy certain liabilities previously purchased by Ironridge. Moreover, excluding these noncash transactions, net loss for the three months ending October 31, 2013 would have been $93,000 or $0.00 per share and net income for the nine-month period would have been $200,000 or $0.00 per share.
» Cash flows from operations improved from a net cash burn of $998,000 for the nine months ending October 31, 2012 to a positive net cash flow of $990,000 for the nine months ending October 31, 2013. The positive cash flow was due to the significant increase in revenues during the period, in addition to the use of equity financing to pay down and manage debt. The Company believes that this decrease in debt will help minimize the risk for any current and potential investors, and plans to transition from equity-based compensation to cash compensation for the management team during the fiscal year ending January 31, 2015.
» Generated distribution with several leading supermarket chains and retail outlets including Giant Food Stores, Stop & Shop, Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage, AKiN's Natural Food Markets, Chamberlin's Market & Cafe, Richard's Foodporium, Market District, Vitamin Discount Center, Hen House Market, Ball's Price Chopper, and Brookshire Brothers, were added during the fiscal third quarter.
» Garden of Life, named the #1 selling brand in the natural products industry by SPINScan, launched fair trade Marley Coffee flavors of its best-selling Raw Protein and Raw Meal.
» AVT Inc., a leader in automated retailing systems, self-service stores and kiosks, placed 360 Marley Coffee automated kiosk in Los Angeles' Westwood Pavilion.
» Introduced three varieties of Marley Coffee espresso capsules for the Coscolina and Verona espresso machines, manufactured by the Martello Cafe line.
» Marley Coffee named as primary refreshment option at the New York City headquarters of Spotify, the innovative online music streaming service.
» Launched "Smile Jamaica," a blend of 20 percent Jamaican Blue Mountain (JBM) coffee and 80% Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, the first authorized JBM blend in North America.
» Company management featured in a series of media outlets including Bloomberg TV and Fox Business News.
» Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company generated distribution with Kroger-owned Quality Food Centers, Fred Meyer, Ralphs and all 14 New York City metropolitan area locations of Fairway Market.
» Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company purchased the majority of assets of BikeCaffé Franchising Inc., a Denver-based company that owns and sells mobile coffee carts worldwide.
Rohan Marley, founder and chairman of Marley Coffee, said, "The progress during this quarter was a result of our company's dedication and vision for Marley Coffee. As we continue to grow our business and introduce more and more customers to our unique blends, we also intend to remain true to our ideals--including sustainability, environmental awareness and community-based responsibility--that truly sets Marley Coffee apart as a coffee company."
Brent Toevs, chief executive officer of Marley Coffee, added, "As we increase our presence in traditional retail markets, we also continue to concentrate on expanding our domestic and international distribution channels. We believe there are many exciting opportunities for us to increase sales of our products, and the recognition of the Marley Coffee brand."

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I ordered a child size Medium and its fairly true to size pretty snug for my 9 year old but still fits.
Age: 40-49
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
So I just recently ordered this and I was very cautious about sizing. I decided to order the child large instead of the adult small and I'm extremely happy I did!!! Just to let you know I'm 13 and quite petite yet tall/average height with very long legs, and a large fit perfectly!
This product was exactly what I needed! My daughter outgrew a competition costume before Nationals. I ordered this bra top, and it was perfect. It fit true to size, and it was comfortable. Comfort is important to my kiddo who has sensitive skin. There was no shifting of the top when she danced, and it was she like it so much that she wears it to class now that the season has ended.
The red is obvious, but not sure what would match the lime/turquoisethe hot pink/yellow options.
Sign in before answering this dancer's questions.
Was this Q & A helpful to you? YES (
Natalie Child Lace Overlay Camisole Bra Top in Yellow lace is the top that I want to purchase, however I want the matching booty shorts. Can you tell me which ones they are?
Item N8641C are the matching shorts for this item.- DDS Customer Service (02/05/2013)

GSA Launches Pilot To Assist Employees with Child Care Expenses-- Correction
March 16, 2000
Contact: Eleni Martin
(202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - In partnership with the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and the National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE), the U.S. General Services Administration is rolling out a tuition subsidy pilot to help make child care more affordable for its lower-income employees. GSA offices nationwide are committed to supporting this subsidy for all qualified employees.
"Child care simply costs too much for many workers," said GSA Administrator David J. Barram. "Rates vary across the country, from about $3,800 to over $12,000 per year depending on the location of the center and the age of the child. We believe that in the long run, this program will help GSA employees to find a balance, to provide for quality early education for their children in healthy and safe environments, and to become better, more productive workers knowing that they can afford to put their children in good hands. I am proud that GSA is one of the first Federal agencies to seize this opportunity, for we see it as part of our continued commitment to work/life issues."
When Susan Clampitt, GSA's Associate Administrator for Child Care, surveyed the GSA workforce, she found that nearly 500 of GSA's lower-income employees indicated that they have young children in need of care. Under Office of Personnel Management regulations, GSA will be able to subsidize the cost of child care in licensed child care centers and family child care homes for children.
"I'm really enthused about this because child care subsidies will be a great benefit to many of the employees we represent," said Carl Yates, President of AFGE Council 236. "We worked in partnership with the agency in developing this initiative, and GSA should be commended for moving out so quickly on it."
"This is a good example of what the union and the agency can accomplish when they work together," said Jack Hanley, President of the NFFE Council of GSA Locals. "Affordable child care is an important issue for us, and we're hoping to use this success as a model for working cooperatively in the future on other issues affecting the GSA workforce."
Total family income will be the basis for determining eligibility for GSA's child care subsidy -- $35,000 for a family with one dependent child and incremental increases of $3,000 for each additional dependent child, as the threshold for support. For example, a family with three dependent children, could earn up to $41,000 and still be eligible for the program. Parents will be required to provide proof of income and proof of enrollment of their children in a licensed child care facility.
Parents who meet the family income level threshold and who pay more than 10 percent in child care costs can apply for the subsidy. GSA will pay the difference between what parents pay for their children's child care and 10 percent of the total family income. Payments will be made directly to child care providers.
If a family with two children under six and a total family income of $36,000 is paying a total of $800 a month, or $9,600 a year, in child care expenses, then the subsidy would be $500 a month, or $6,000 a year. This represents the difference between the total child care cost ($9,600) and 10% of the total family income ($3,600). A payment of $500 (or 1/12 of $6,000) would be made each month directly to the licensed provider. The family would reduce their monthly out-of-pocket cost from $800 to $300.
The application form for GSA's child care subsidy is expected to be published in the Federal Register on March 17.
The legislation which makes this possible expires at the end of FY 2000, and in order for the subsidy program to be continued, the amendment must be re-authorized.

WATCH: Pablo Sandoval foul ball breaks reporter's laptop
Mark Sheldon was simply doing his job. The Cincinnati Reds MLB.com beat reporter was toiling away in the Great American Ballpark press box, writing on the home team's eventual8-3 victory over the San Francisco Giants. But in the top of the eighth inning, Sheldon became part of the story. That's when a Pablo Sandoval foul ball found its way into Sheldon's workspace and … well, the look on his face says it all.
RIP my laptop. Sandoval foul hit it #reds pic.twitter.com/igNCCLeKMp

This issue of HT highlights insight from our advisory board for a look at what's trending in 2014. We've asked them to offer their outlook for top technologies, must-have skill sets, and general industry buzz. Here is a prediction from HT to add to that mix.
There's a new term being tossed around in the hospitality tech world, and like all buzzwords, there's usually a valid concept buried in there somewhere. Here is HT's pick for the buzzword of 2014: Disruptive Innovation. We've heard this term trickle out from a few technology vendors lately, and I'm going out on a limb to say there's some real meat to this one.
Here's the fast overview of disruptive innovation: it takes place when an innovation aimed at introducing capabilities or efficiencies that previously didn't exist, through its growing implementation, ultimately transforms the status quo and redefines the industry. The term was coined by Harvard prof. Clayton M. Christensen, circa 1997. In 2014, it's gaining traction.
For hotels and restaurants, there's no doubt that a handful of technologies — chief among them mobile and cloud solutions — are already changing standard operating procedures for those who have adopted them. Extending that notion out a bit, disruptive innovation in our industry implies that mobile devices and cloud-based solutions have the potential to be so far-reaching, that they will have a redefining impact on the way hospitality businesses operate. What that looks like remains to be seen.
Our board agrees that the skills required of IT leaders must go well beyond IT savvy — in answering HT's questions, they call out skills such as change management, marketing, and clearer communication. If disruptive innovation is indeed poised to redefine hospitality operations, then as IT leaders this is your moment to shine.

Part Two: Splash Screens and App Icons
In the first post of this series, we illustrated how to create optimised versions of your photos at various required sizes for output. Using these same principles, in this post, were going to show you how to create images for your splash screen and home screen.
One thing to think about if you havent already is the visual identity of your field guide. What will it look like in terms of a logo, branding, colours and featured imagery? This is based on your intended audience and the feeling you'd like to convey. Also give some thought to the consistency of the brand across the various aspects of your app. Using only one or two typefaces and a consistent colour scheme helps your app appear not just professional, but like you've put some thought into how your app represents your content, which you've no doubt been crafting for a long time. If this all sounds foreign to you, its worth getting a graphic designer involved to help you through this process.
So once you have a look that would make Beyoncé jealous, youll need to think about what it is you want to display when your users start up the app the splash screen or launch image. This is the first thing users will see once they launch your app. It only shows for a few seconds, so keep it as simple as possible. Think of your splash screen as a billboard. If you're driving down a freeway and see an advertisement on the side of the road, you've got a couple of seconds (if that) to read it. So it's best to save that essay for inside the app.
As far as technical requirements are concerned, there are a few versions to consider. For an iPad app splash screen, youll need a PNG or JPEG image with dimensions of 768 x 1004 pixels. The iPhone and iPod Touch splash screen requires a 640 x 960 pixel image for the Retina Display (Apples 326ppi high density display). You'll also need to supply a version at half the size (320 x 480) for iPhones and iPod Touches that arent young enough to have a Retina Display. Here are some examples of the screens we created for the Museum Victoria Field Guide..
To get a feel for how your splash screen will look in the real world, you may like to preview these at their native size on the device before you proceed with development. One way to do this is to import the images into iPhoto and then sync them with your iPhone, iPod or iPad.
There is one more image that your users will see before theyve launched your app in fact, before they've even downloaded your app which is the application icon. This is used as an icon on the home screen as well as acting as a badge in the app store. This must be an opaque square image with 90 corners. Apple requires that you provide this with dimensions of 57 x 57 pixels, 72 x 72 pixels for iPad, 114 x 114 pixels for Retina Display and 512 x 512 pixels for the App Store. In iOS, your icon will automatically be displayed with rounded corners and a drop shadow. Your icon will also have reflective shine unless you create a pre-composed image, which you can specify in your apps Info.plist file.
For further information on these image specifications, you can view the Image Creation Guidelines on Apples website.

Sounds fabulous! I don't like sour cream, can I skip it?
Six Sisters says
Hi Stephanie!
I have never tried it without sour cream. I couldn't really taste it in the sauce, but if you were to take it out I would replace it with some sort of cream so you end up with the right texture. You could even use a little milk so your sauce turns nice and creamy. Let us know how it goes!

Several of a Utah Highway Patrol trooper's fingers were severed from his left hand Wednesday morning when he was hit by a vehicle while investigating an earlier accident on Interstate 80 in Parleys Canyon.
Sgt. Chris Dunn who has been with the force 14 years was standing by the open driver-side door of his patrol car when a utility type truck approached the accident scene and struck him, said UHP Cpl. Todd Johnson.
Dunn was flown by air ambulance to University Hospital, where he was undergoing surgery Wednesday afternoon.
Dunn sustained "a lot of trauma" to an arm and particularly his hand, as well as other injuries, which were not considered life-threatening, Johnson said.
Part of Dunn's hand, including several fingers, were severed by the crash, said UHP Lt. Steve Winward.
The trooper's hand may have been caught between the door of his UHP squad car and the vehicle's body at the time of the accident, said UPD Lt. Justin Hoyal.
UPD investigators say the 21-year-old man driving a Mitsubishi flatbed truck reported having experienced difficulty shifting gears shortly before the accident. The UHP unit was one of several parked in an outside lane processing the initial crash; the truck was eastbound in the next lane over.
"The driver said he looked down briefly at the gear shift and drifted into the outside lane, hitting the [UHP] unit," Hoyal said. "Dunn apparently had the door open and was in the process of getting back into his unit" when the crash occurred.
The driver of the truck, though shaken, did not suffer physical injuries, Hoyal said.
No citations were immediately issued. Hoyal said once UPD investigators conclude their reconstruction of the accident, they will submit their findings to the Salt Lake County District Attorney's Office for screening of charges.
Winward said Dunn was anticipated to be out of surgery, following operations that were anticiapted to take several hours, by 6:30 p.m.
Troopers had been at the hospital throughout the day and they had been checking in with Dunn's wife, who dispatches for UHP, to make sure she and her family were alright, Winward added.
The accident involving the trooper occurred at 8:26 a.m. near Lambs Canyon. The trooper was there investigating an earlier 6:27 a.m. crash in which a van rear-ended a semi-trailer truck.
The driver of the van was flown to University Hospital in critical condition but with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Several other, more minor and non-injury accidents were reported in the same general area as a result of traffic constriction due to the van-semi crash.
Winward noted that Dunn is the fifth trooper to be struck by a vehicle this year and he urged drivers need to watch out for them.
"If they see the red and blues, pay attention, slow down and allow the troopers plenty of space," he said.

Teen Girls' Medical Mystery Baffles Doctors [VIDEO]
Everyone knows the term "monkey see, monkey do", but can that be a legit diagnosis for a severe medical disease? According to doctors in New York, it can. In the fall of 2011, 12 girls from one school all mysteriously fell ill with Tourette's-like symptoms such as vocal outbursts, nervous tics and more life-altering symptoms. But where did these symptoms come from and how did these 12 girls all become ill at once?

Lol, tbh, I just liked the way it rolled off the tongue. And plus, some of my friends called me Cooter Scooter for a while. I just like it.
are you sure they werent just calling you cooter? or pussy?
^ Lmfao, Nope. It was because I called someone a Cooter Scooter when I was really stoned. And it just stuck.
ok I changed some stuff
how about it now?
The T looks far more like a T. It has good balance. Personally I liked the 2 before vs this one.
i like the idea of the P but youre still not doing it right HA connection is dope but the A needs work the T aint flowing neither and that 2 aint that nice but its better then the Z you were doing
phat the p and t need work. I think a backwards p is fine, maybe balance it by making the top right of the t bigger. Or do a backwards t that would be sick.
ok i think I got it, I'll try an idea I have later on at work. will edit this post with the flick. I'm trying to get a decent full name throw down. I'm starting to find that my usual 2 letters aren't enough for me. I nEED MOAARR :P heh

When Drones Come to America, What Happens Then?
Congress started it all this year when it voted to allow drones to fly in the U.S. as soon as 2015. Now it's fighting against its self-imposed deadline to pass legislation that limits the scope of the new technology.
At a hearing Friday, the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security, and Investigations discussed what measures should be included in a federal bill that would protect Fourth Amendment rights without limiting the potential benefits of drones.
"The expectation of privacy down the road is going to not be expanded but made smaller," said Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX). "I think that's what members of the Supreme Court, to me, are saying, which concerns me. So Congress needs to set a standard."
The meeting was the second on the topic of domestic drones this year and reflects a mad dash by both state and federal lawmakers to place checks on the technology before it's readily available.
In February, Congress voted to make the Federal Aviation Administration let drones fly in U.S. airspace by 2015. In response, four states have already passed legislation limiting the use of drones or unmanned aerial systems within their borders. According to the American Civil Liberties Union, 32 states in total have active legislation that would limit the not-yet-legal technology. Yet no federal bill has passed.

POMONA>> A 12-month-old girl was found dead Monday in her home on the 1200 block of West 8th Street in Pomona, according to Pomona police.
The death is not being considered a homicide nor is it suspicious, according to police.
The girl's father, Lo Vave, said he woke up to discover she was not breathing.
"My daughter was cold," he said.
Vave said his daughter was known by the family as "Nonu."
She was the youngest of five children.
"We suffered a great loss today," he said. "There's not much else I can say. It was a misfortune my daughter passed away."
Lt. Fred Corral with the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said the case is not completed yet.
"Anytime the coroner is involved it is to determine the manner, mode and cause of death and that's what we're going to do," he said.

Gallbladder removal - laparoscopic - dischargeCholecystectomy - laparoscopic - discharge
You had a procedure called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Your doctor made1 - 3small cuts in your belly and used a special instrument called a laparoscope to take out your gallbladder.
What to Expect at Home
Recovering from laparoscopic cholecystectomy usually takes around 1- 3 weeks. You may have some of these symptoms as you recover:
- Pain in your belly. You may also feel pain in 1 or both shoulders. This pain comes from the gas still left in your belly after the surgery. The pain should ease over several days to a week.
- A sore throat from the breathing tube. Sucking on ice chips or gargling may be soothing.
- Nausea, and maybe throwing up (vomiting). Your surgeon can provide you with nausea medicine if needed.
- Loose stools after eating. This may last 4- 8 weeks.
- Bruising around your wounds. This will go away on its own.
- Skin redness around your wounds. This is normal.
Start walking after surgery. Begin your everyday activities as soon as you feel up to it. Move around the house and shower, and use the stairs during your first week home. If it hurts when you do something, stop doing that activity.
You may be able to drive after 2 or 3 days if you are not taking narcotic pain drugs. You may lift 15 pounds or less. No heavy lifting or straining for the first 1 - 2 weeks.
You may be able to go back to a desk job within a week. Talk to your doctor if your work is physical.
Wound Care
If sutures, staples, or glue were used to close your skin, you may remove the wound dressings and take a shower the day after surgery.
If tape strips (Steri-strips) were used to close your skin, cover the wounds with plastic wrap before showering, for the first week after surgery. Do not try to wash the Steri-strips off. Let them fall off on their own.
Do not soak in a bathtub or hot tub, or go swimming, until your doctor tells you it is okay.
Eat a normal diet. But you may want to avoid greasy or spicy foods for a while.
Make a follow-up appointment with your doctor for 1- 2 weeks after your surgery.
When to Call the Doctor
Call your doctor if:
- Your temperature is above 101 °F.
- Your surgical wounds are bleeding, red or warm to the touch or you have a thick, yellow or green, or milky drainage.
- You have pain that is not helped with your pain medicines.
- It is hard to breathe.
- You have a cough that does not go away.
- You cannot drink or eat.
- Your skin or the white part of your eyes turns yellow.
- Your stools are a gray color.

A play is a form of literature written by a playwright, usually consisting of scripted dialogue between characters, intended for theatrical performance rather than just reading. There are rare dramatists, notably George Bernard Shaw, who have had little preference whether their plays were performed or read. The term "play" can refer to both the written works of playwrights and to their complete theatrical performance.

Henrik Ibsen told his readers if they were to understand his work, they should read all his dramas and live them in their person experience. Little has been published about his first plays. This book covers dramas from "Cataline" to "Peer Gynt," and demonstrates how "The Master Builder," "Hedda Gabler" and "The Lady from the Sea" are related to archetypal themes of his youthful work. The thesis is that Ibsen was a creator of myths. Using the psychology of Carl Jung, ...

Best I could find.
By Larry the lounger

Having worn EMU's for years, I found their product has gotten worse and worse, so I was delighted to see these in the HS catalogue. They ran small to size but a well handled exchange has given me a well made and comfortable product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought these with hopes they would help relieve my bruised heels and they are doing that quite nicely. I bought them one size larger than my regular shoe size but they did come much smaller than I needed. I stretched them out, and they did end up fitting, tightly, but they work without socks.

The Genuine Australian Sheepskin Scuffs (Men's).
By Pandely on the go
from Boca Raton,
Gifted these to my husband who commented on opening before trying on what great quality these are. Afterwards, how comfortable, then, said he would only wear indoors to keep them nice, for a long time. He daily wears them. Feels true to size -- looks a half-size too small (to me), not to him though!
Australian Sheepskin Scuffs
By Mom the Gift Giver
from Scottsdale, AZ
These seem perfect except for needing to be upped a size when ordering, especially when your size is close to the next size up. I nearly ordered the next size, now I am very sorry that I didn't. I hesitated because I it seemed the sheepskin lining could crowd the foot. And,boy does it! It would be helpful to have a notice regarding the size adjustment in the catalog description.I would return them, but I gave them as a gift and he decided to give them to his wife. I hope they change their mind as she is very petite.I would recommend it only when being able to warn the friend first about the size.

WATCH: Slipknot Shares New Song 'The Devil In I'
Listen to Slipknot Radio on iHeartRadio
Slipknot has unleashed another taste of the group's first album in more than six years. They made "The Devil in I" available to stream late Sunday night after sharing "The Negative One" earlier this month.
"The Devil in I" serves as the first official single from Slipknot's still-untitled follow-up to All Hope Is Gone, which is expected to hit shelves this October.
Frontman Corey Taylor recently told BBC Radio 1 that "The Devil in I" offers "something different," and predicted that fans will "lose their minds" when they hear it.
A video for the track is on the way as well. Last week they put out a call for extras to play "human maggots." The shoot reportedly took place over the weekend, but the group has yet to announce a premiere date.

Carrie Underwood gives Lucy Hale some 'strong' advice
Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Country star Carrie Underwood is giving Lucy Hale some advice. And it had nothing to do with proper tire-slashing protocol when punishing a cheating ex.
It took two years, but "Pretty Little Liars" star Lucy Hale's debut country album Road Between has finally hit shelves today (June 3). "A lot of people know me as Aria," Hale told MTV, "I think after listening to the album, they'll get a clear idea of who Lucy Hale is as a human being."
Carrie Underwood is keenly aware of the struggles and joys of breaking into the country scene, so she gave Lucy a pearl of wisdom c/o MTV. "Just be strong. Country music is definitely in need of more really strong females…Give it 1000% every time and they can't stop you."
As long as A doesn't get in the way, we have a feeling she'll be A-OK.

Restaurants must squeeze every penny they can out of their customers these days as consumers closely watch their dining dollars. While doing everything they can to keep revenue coming in, restaurants must also closely guard against revenue going "out" through theft or loss. Typically, the three major areas of loss in a foodservice environment are in lost time and productivity; theft of monies, food and/or beverages; and spoilage or poor management of inventory. Here are several ways that restaurants are fighting back against lost profits.
Time theft
Candlelight Inn (www.candlelightinnrestaurant.com), an Illinois-based family-owned restaurant since 1967, added handheld technology for loss control prevention in fall 2009. Since then, owner Matt Prescott estimates the technology has added 3 percent to his restaurant's bottom line, "which turns into a lot of money," Prescott relates.

Wizards Clash For The Fate Of Reality In 'Kill Shakespeare: The Tide Of Blood' #5 [Preview]
As much Shakespeare as I read in high school and college, I confess I kind of though Kill Shakespeare's plot putting a "wizard-god" version of The Bard and his magical quill into conflict with his creations in a shared universe was a neat but wild spin on the poet's usual beat. Then I thought about it for about ten seconds and went, "Oh yeah, he wrote a lot of ghosts. Oh yeah, he wrote a lot of witches. Oh yeah... he wrote The friggin' Tempest." In next Wednesday's Kill Shakespeare: The Tide Of Blood #5 by Conor McCreery, Anthony Del Col and Andy Belanger, all kinds of supernatural elements converge in a climactic battle between, well, everyone - but especially between The Tempest's signature Sorcerer Prospero and Shakespeare himself. It's the kind of thing I imagine dudes like Harry P. and Voldemort would read to get pumped before a righteous duel.

Is your router dropping outgoing ICMP? Can you ping out when using a different operating system?
Hi folks,
Recently installed the Vmware image of backtrack 5 R1.I have configured the network settings as per instructions,set the VM N/w setting to bridged,have configured a static IP address in the wcid,have added the ip,netmask and gateway in /etc/network/interfaces.In the resolve.conf i have entered the default gateway address as name server(or should it be the preferred dns server addr- i have tried this too)
Iam able to connect to the internet and browse webpages through Firefox,but not able to ping the IP addresses,i receive no reply.I'm able to ping the local host and the default gateway.The BTVmware image is hosted on windows 7 64bit ed and iam unable to ping from the windows 7 to the Backtrack.
Iam really at my wits end and really need some help.My internet connection is a wired broadband connection,which is connected directly to the NIC.
Thank you and regards,
Is your router dropping outgoing ICMP? Can you ping out when using a different operating system?
Thanks for the reply,when i ping out to outside domains,i don't receive replies from them.iam able to ping local host and with loss of packet,i can also ping and receive replies from another VMware windows 2003 server and i can ping from the same win 2003 server to the backtrack 5.
Iam able to ping to internet domains from the VMware windows 2003 server,but not from the BT5.
P.S:Please note iam able to access the internet from any internet Browser on the BT5.Its the ICMP that's got me in the fix.
Thank you and regards
Can you ping those hosts on IP?

"The difference between RAID1 and RAID0 is that the zero stands for how many files you're gonna have after a harddisk failure."
Maybe you've got some ip filtering rules setup? What is the output of iptables -L
and alot of systems have icmp like ping blocked by default, such as machines running vista and xp. some servers and firewalls block it as well due to the old ping of death attacks.
personally instead of pinging victims i rather just run simple nmap scans, especially with the -PN operator to exclude pinging. -sS works well also and is a tcp syn scan

'Monster Home' to be Built is Not Popular With Neighbors
Some Sugarhouse residents -- living near 19th South, 15th East -- are up in arms, over what their neighbors are up to.
But city zoning regulations indicate, there's nothing they can do about it.
This week a home was torn down, on Bryan Street, to make room for a new, 2-story, 4000 square foot house.
Neighbor Tana Gaia and others are not pleased, saying the new house "doesn't fit the street."

Sleeping Beauty: 10 Tips and Tricks for Beating Insomnia
Frustrated that you can't sleep when you want to? Try one of these techniques to bring on the zzz's peacefully and naturally.
-Melanie Kozlan, Four Green Steps
Tired of being tired? Try some of these natural insomnia remedies and make up for lost sleep.
1. Avoid coffee/tea, caffeine and alcohol at least 4 hours before bed. Alcohol might seem like a quick fix for a night of sleep, but you might only be sleeping off the alcohol and wake up still tired. You also don't want to create a sleep pattern that depends on alcohol.
Read Summer Slim Down: Easy Ways to Lose Weight Without Joining a Program
2. Never exercise close to bedtime. You might feel like you're tiring yourself out, but you're actually waking your body up.
3. Have a small snack before bed. Going to bed hungry will only keep you awake.
4. Develop a routine. Going to bed and waking up around the same time everyday will make your body accustomed to a healthy sleep schedule.
5. Only use your bed for sleeping! It seems irrelevant, but using your bed as a home base for everything from eating, working, or using Facebook weakens your mind's association between your bed and sleep. Using your bed for various activities will make it more difficult to turn off your thoughts when you want to sleep.
6. If you can't fall asleep, do something else. You'll be more productive than just lying awake frustrated. And, by the time you go back to bed, you'll have a better chance of falling asleep easier.
7. Have a hot bath an hour or two before bed. Simple as that!
8. Try an herbal remedy. Venereal and lavender root are said to aid insomnia.
9. Start a sleep ritual. Convince yourself you need a glass of warm milk or to watch an episode of 30 Rock before bed.
10. Make your bed somewhere you want to be. If it's too hot/cold, bright or uncomfortable ,your body will mostly likely dread bedtime.
Tell us: What are your tricks for falling asleep fast?

Forbes contributor Adam Hartung dropped a bomb on the business world this morning when he forecast the complete collapse of Microsoft's business and the company's sudden exit from the entertainment market. Hartung draws on Surface's mediocre sales and the PC market's woes to claim that "Microsoft makes nothing from its xBox/Kinect entertainment division."
He goes on to make dire predictions related to Windows, Office, and Microsoft's other businesses, but we're going to focus on the Xbox comments -- they're easily the most entertaining.
Let's start with the claim that the Xbox division is unable to make a profit. That's easy to check -- all we need to do is consult Microsoft's own press releases.
... No it won't happen
Ha..be hilariousness if it was owned by Barns&noble
it is a little known fact xbox doesnt make money i think they have bad manufacture agreements r something that and they pay developers off left and right
You obviously don't know your facts, haha!
how is that? xbox doesnt make money.............. look it up.......
Oh Xbox makes money. They just haven't made enough to break even on their investments yet. It's right there in the article.
Sell it to Samsung.
Samsung is an innovationless company, I'd rather have Microsoft than them.
Really... they've been doing more to push tech than most, lately. First flexible OLED screen phone could very well come from Samsung.
The only people making the best phones as far as innovation is concerned right now are HTC, Samsung and Sony.
Bottom line just saying Samsung could do it and I am sure they could make some new innovations along the way. Now would I want a company that has never been in the gaming industry really making a console no but do I think over time they could make one sure.
This would never happen anyway Microsoft would probably let the Xbox die before they would sell it to someone just like Sony will die before they sell anything of theirs of any real importance.
You do know that Samsung is a holding company right. They don't develop the technology. Try doing research first before you speak. You sound like effing 12 year old's on here talking about stuff you don't have any knowledge about.
They'll milk the Xbox brand name to bits. plus I don't see how it will benefit them, since most their revenue is from the Smartphone market.
"They'll milk the Xbox brand name to bits."
LMFAO so true, all the products would switch names from Samsung Galaxy to Samsung Xbox(Samsung X).
Nah, to Sony their innovators, but i don't now what they would do with the Xbox brand, manage it ? or vault it, i wouldn't know why you would want to vault it in the US since its popular, or why they would want to manage it since they running business with the PlayStation brand.
but then again this is a console doom article.
While at it i think they should buy google and apple too. ..... oh and nintendo just for the lols
Playbox 720?
LOL, how many suicides would there be on this site if that ever happened? half the fanboys here would cut their wrist if that ever happen. This site may be half decent if it did happen though. The conversation might actually get back to the games.
Naaaa, that's just some pipe dream.
And the same columnist said this about Sony in April 2012:
"Sayonara Sony"
So....ugh...well...thats quality journalism /s
This will never happen.Its funny to hear all you so called experts talk about it though :)
Like i said before sony is financially broke and poor with a low credit rating. Sony is no longer the cash rich company they once were. MS xbox business is much healthier and financially stable than Sony entire electronics business...just food for thought folks.
I bet you repeat that every morning in the front of the mirror.
What are these dumb ass analyst smoking? Why would SONY buy the XBOX brand from SONY? SONY doesn't need to wast on a console
"Why would SONY buy the XBOX brand from SONY?"
I wasn't aware that Sony owned the Xbox brand... Or that a company would sell an asset to themselves...
An the world will end 12/21/12............... Yep, I don't see it happening.
I think its funny whenever a company has ONE failing product, the entire company is doomed. They don't even think "hmm maybe this product is doing fine" or "maybe the product will grow in the long run?"
Seriously. Sony could release a MP3 player for kids, put one million dollars into it, watch it flop, and some analyst will go "sony is doomed" Same here. MS releases a Tablet, which is doing fine compared to other tablets, but its not selling like iCrap so "microsoft is doomed" Lets all pretend MS spends millions on advertising, exclusive content, etc for absolutely no reason at all.
There is a reason why these analysts are not CEO's. If they truly knew everything, they'd have a CEO position somewhere.
Sony did fail in terms of their HDTV and 3D investments. Likely wont do well with this 4k nonsense.
At the same time Windows 8 is underprerforming where 7 coasted and Vista...was Vista. MS is at a point where their main staple isn't as solid a seller as it use to be. And Xbox has generally been a struggle. Nevermind what can be said or proven with Kinect.
Not saying that analysts know everything, but there are more than a few examples of CEOs running businesses into the ground while reporting nothing but profits.
"There is a reason why these analysts are not CEO's. If they truly knew everything, they'd have a CEO position somewhere."
Some CEOs are terrible at their jobs just like some analysts are bad at theirs. MS was late to the tablet/smartphone party and its cost them huge market share. There is a reason Steven Ballmer got called the worst CEO of 2012 after all.
Wow. Even Microsoft is getting the doom articles now. N4G is really starting to feel like that stereotypical bum on the street always preaching about the end of the world.
Lol why are people getting worked up over this? Its not even real news just, brainless specualtion? Something like this would never happen.
Brainless speculation... sounds like about 90% of the content on N4G.
Xbox has already failed, the hardcore jumped ship after the HDDVD rip off, and the rest slowly but surely got the picture when Kinect got pushed down their thoat.
A whole year "headstart" is as much as 5 years with compitition, they blew that!!!
You wont see anything like this in the media, cause it hurts them just as much.
"Xbox has already failed, the hardcore jumped ship after the HDDVD rip off, and the rest slowly but surely got the picture when Kinect got pushed down their thoat."
Really? I have a feeling that you are just throwing out random speculation due to the lack of logic for your claim. I bought the HD-DVD addon to support the format over blu-ray. I also like the idea of kinect, although Im not to fond of its use in games besides the possibility if voice commands. In fact it has inspired inclusion of the same technology in Televisions, uses in the healthcare field, innovative ideas such as the smart shopping cart, not to mention all the random stuff you can do with it hooked to a PC. Care to backup your claims with evidence?
"A whole year "headstart" is as much as 5 years with compitition, they blew that!!!"
Sorry son, if you can't see the logic in my claim, stop trying to understand.
Your deluded already, you bought into the gimicks after all.
Prety funny actually :)
Oh you. Its okay, you are a PS3 fanboy, I understand. All it takes is a quick look at your previous comments to see it.
"The PS3 stand head and shoulders above the 360 son. #54.1"
"The PS3's Cellis packing 7! SPU's at 3,2 Gigahertz.
Sony will not release a weaker CPU system within the PS3, mark my words. #12"
"As a gamer i have "ZERO" interest in the WiiU, its clearly a gimick in the lines of kinect.
Give me more well build games. #24"
"The DualShock 3 is a great solid controler already.
A LCD screen would only distract from the screen, it would be a cheap gimmick, something Microsoft would be interested in, watch!
If anything should be added, it should be input and or feedback.
A "hyper!" powerfull rumble is a good idear. #101"
"Move! is factualy a better version of the Wii Mote.
And Wonderbook is just a nice little thing for the kids, thats all it is, and thats all its been promoted as, not pushed down the troats of core gamers, you know, like MS did with kinect. "
"I don't know what is more pathetic, microsoft giving out money to plz stay on their system.
or the xbox3fixme player who don't know its a small part of their own money they get back for paying to use their own internet on their own console..."
"Sony went through hard times, but outperformed on every single level when it come's to consoles.
Its online service is superior on every front, from Free stable online play, to blowing Live! out of the water with PSN premium.
Greater ammount of quality exclusives packing the best graphics out there.
How is this to make up for a comback?, in the eyes of bought and sold media maybe, but the gamers are having a blast already. #33"
So Mr. DigitalSmoke, maybe you should look back through my comments. You'll see I am a technology lover, not a fanboy like yourself.
BTW, learn how to use the english language, it'll make your arguments seem a little more worthy.
just stop smoking that digital stuff.
it makes you sound like a 12yo sony slave...
Why would Sony buy Xbox? They already have a game division.. the only thing Sony should buy is the Halo IP..
im guessing it would come as a package deal, everything related to the brand. Unless they plan on selling piece by piece, which I doubt.
I don't like Halo.. but it makes a lot of money for M$. In term of bringing in money that would be a smart buy for Sony!
FYI, Sony bought Gaikai couple of months ago! business can loan money!
Doesn't the 2010 to 2012 say something? 2011 may have been their best year but then it only drops off after that.
Also its only referring to income, what's been brought in. What does the operating costs chart look like in comparison?
Doom articles, flame bait, etc. don't start until N4G say so.
Adam Hartung is a f***ing idiot. The End.
I would rather Xbox brand stay with an American company, if this in fact does happen!
if microsoft falls, apple has to fall first.
im more interested in things not related to xbox.
So basically, you're openly admitting that you're an illiterate tard, since you're commenting on an article about XBOX.
lol...Neither one could afford to buy xbox.
I think it's because the xbox720 is going to be damn PC.. Isn't it suppose to have Windows 8? an all the components are PC parts :P Sony is just the champ of gaming consoles..
Nope...Ps4 is going to be more like the PC. It seems Sony is going the cheap route.
Boy Journalism is hitting the bottom of the well these days.
This Adam Hartung will be the laughing stock of forbes.
sony should scrap its television division, and buy up microsofts gaming studios.
I'll believe it when Microsoft comes out and confirms it.
Considering Sony's financial woes, maybe Google should buy Sony....
They need to sell it to a company that has creativity & will take initiative.. Sony has no use for anything xbox related.. It would only harm their name in the east & make me not wanna play games anymore because of their casual/multiplat only philosophy..
hahahah so it mean at E3 Microsoft cannot wait to sale its xbox to its main competitor in the gaming industry SONY.. Microsoft is soo happy to do so that they already have integrated a timeline or stuff at there blogs.. hahahha Forbes truly lost its respect after this article..

Thread: Superfood for babies

Superfood for babies
The latest Save the Children report into breastfeeding is now available: Superfood for babies.
This report estimates that the lives of 95 babies an hour could be saved if they were breastfed immediately following birth. I personally find this a shocking statistic and want to help charities such as Save the Children empower women around the world to breastfeed successfully.
There has also been media attention due to a recommendation this report made to change formula advertising to make mothers more aware of the benefits of breast milk over formula.
What are your opinions on the report? Has the nature of the media attention surprised you?
Best wishes,

Hi LJ
I applaud your intention to support charities working to promote breastfeeding. There is much that can be done by those willing to pick up the sword. I support through monthly sponsorship a number of programs aimed up supporting pregnant women, safer childbirth, and breastfeeding support in the poorest communities of the world. I also sponsor a number of children worldwide.
It is undoubtedly true that a lack of awareness within these communities of the nutritional needs of infants and children and how to support their wellbeing results in significantly hirer rates of illness and death. I also agree that formula promotion needs to be reduced. In addition I have no doubt that successful breastfeeding could save many lives. However all this needs to be placed in context.
Staking claim to breastfeeding being the solution, ignores everything we know about the wellbeing of mothers and its link to breast milk production. In the absence of clean water and sufficient nutritious food, with cultural practices which require men and boys eat first taking the best of the food, and living conditions of the poorest standards imaginable, the likelihood of successful breastfeeding is low.
Certainly where interventionist programs have provided clean water and good food, the rate of infant deaths has dropped. Again we can't lay all that on breastfeeding but I have no doubt the greater ability of these woman to produce milk plays in there.
In many of the world's poorest communities access to formula marketing or formula itself is low due to sheer economics. However there is certainly a perception in these communities that formula is the answer. This too though has to be put in context. These women are starving. They see a can of formula as their baby's best chance at survival. Without considering water quality and lack of sterilisation procedures for bottles, can we really blame these women for seeing this as a salvation? Education alone won't boost their milk supply.
In short a two pronged approach is needed, prong one being food and water provision and prong two being the reintroduction of breastfeeding knowledge into these communities. Of course there is a third prong there that requires greater respect for women in these communities to increase their access to food and water and decrease the horrendous workloads they face. But that third prong is one that money alone can't fix.

Thank you for your comments mumof2IVF miracles.
Yes - I see - education needs to go hand in hand with the proper resources in order to support and empower women to breastfeed in all communities. Whilst breast milk is not the whole answer to reducing infant mortality rates and increasing infant well-being it is a significant factor. My hope is for the 'two pronged' approach you refer to, to come into fruition after reports such as this latest Save the Children research.
The media attention surrounding this breastfeeding report has also made me reflect on my own breastfeeding experience and how grateful I am that I have access to the medical professionals (including midwives, lactation consultants and health visitors) who have supported me on my journey.
Best wishes,

Hi ljmarsden
I agree. As much as we may comment on the quality of breastfeeding support in Australia, we must remember we are indeed very fortunate for the breastfeeding relationships many of us have been able, and been supported to, establish.
This reminds me of a lecture I watched recently on homebirth by Caroline Homer. In conclusion it offers a similar reminder. You can watch it here: Home or Hospital? Is there a 'best' birthing option?

I think Mother Feed is best food for Babies in whole world ....
What you think ???
15th February 2014 02:39 AM #7
Yes - breastmilk is Nature's Perfect Milk. Sadly, formula milk is vastly inferior to breastmilk.

Absolutely, breastmilk will always be the top choice!
26th June 2014 05:34 AM #9
Nothing comes close to the nutritional, immunological and developmental benefits of breastmilk. Let alone the wonderful chance for bonding and socialising with your baby.

A mum's milk will always be the best and the had the most beneficial nutrients needed by babies especially during infancy stage where the baby is most susceptible to various health threats brought about by birthing and its new environment outside mum's womb where it has been for nine months. Awesome nutrition aight?

Pomeroys anticipate 92nd annual Ring Day
March 17th, 2014 | SMWC
Ring Day Ceremony
Saturday, March 22, 2014
The Church of the Immaculate Conception
Reception immediately following in O'Shaughnessy Hall
It's a moment that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) students look forward to from their very first day as a Pomeroy, some long before they become a student. The symbolic ceremony on this day binds students and alums together and recognizes everything they have gained at The Woods – academic success, personal growth and unforgettable friendships.
The 92nd annual Ring Day will be held on Saturday, March 22, 2014, and the anticipation multiples as each day goes by. On this day, President Dottie King will place a ring – a unique design of gold and onyx displaying the SMW emblem – on their finger. It is the most anticipated tradition at The Woods. It is Ring Day.
"Ring Day gives me a connection to a much larger family of Pomeroys that have already received their ring, an automatic bond of togetherness," states Kristin Bell, junior class vice president and art education major at SMWC. "Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College has strengthened and molded me in a way that I will forever be thankful. It has given me the opportunity to exceed far past my goals and create reality of my dreams. The ring will display to me and those around me that I am a proud Pomeroy setting forth my dreams by succeeding in my college career."
Students earn their participation in the ceremony through academic success in their junior year at SMWC, or for graduate students, when they are three-quarters of the way toward completion of their degrees. This year, 81 traditional campus, Woods Online and graduate students will receive their Woods Ring in the emotionally moving ceremony.
"I don't think anyone can truly anticipate the feeling of having the ring on their finger," states Amanda Payton, junior class president and double major in business administration and marketing. "While it's common to try on upperclassmen's rings, I assume it can't compare to wearing your own ring. I'm sure it will be wonderful and make the long, anticipated wait well worth it."
