Categories Comments What to do for fun Getting involved with the surrounding community is a great was to have fun. Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity is worth anyone's time.
Food and Dining The food on campus is relatively delicious but is a little pricey. The food is well worth the extra.
Dorm Life I personally have not lived in the dorms but I have heard NMSUA takes care of all of their dorm students well.
Academic Rigor The academic rigor is 5 stars. Classes are geared towards a learning student. They challenge the students to think outside the box while learning.
Tips for prospective students For students who want to apply, apply early. New Mexico State University Alamogordo works well with military families so do not be afraid to ask those questions as well.
In three sentences New Mexico State University is very personable. They put the need for the students first and support the students well being. NMSUA has wonderful professional professors and they have a wonderful online class tracker.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus sends out warnings to students whenever even the slightest threat is given. The campus safety is incredible.
Great for these types of students People who want to ease into college life and save money at the same time.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Earth day, which was last held on April 22nd, 2014 and was hosted on the campus patio. Also, Take Back the Night, which was held on April 11th, 2014 was hosted at the Tays Center and is an awareness march for sexual assault and domestic violence.
Bang for the buck I am confident that choosing to go to NMSU-A was the best decision I could have made for college choices. The relatively low cost of tuition as well as the overall helpfulness from NMSU-A staff made my first semester amazing.
What to do for fun Located right next to the food shop is the game room that has pool tables inside. It is a very nice place to go between classes for food and fun.
Food and Dining The food served is quite good and, as I have seen, come in nicely sized portions. The food area is located in a central area on campus that makes it easily accessible after any class.
Dorm Life This college does not have dorms.
Academic Rigor As a student fresh out of high school, the change in how seriously instructors take assignments was immediately noticed. It was tough getting used to the demanding assignments that were required of me but trying hard to keep up turned out to have a major payoff.
Tips for prospective students Work hard and keep up to date with your assignments. As long as you follow the instructions that your instructor gives you, every class will come easy for you. Talk to your advisor if you are ever unsure of anything when it comes to your schooling. They are extremely helpful when it comes to setting you on the right path to earning your degree.
In three sentences NMSU-A is a great school for anyone either just starting college or wishing to get back into their education. The campus is located in a nice spot in Alamogordo and can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. The staff is universally kind, helpful, and responsive to any questions that a student might have.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are regular police patrols on campus and it is in a safer part of town.
Clubs and Activities There are several clubs from which to choose.
Great for these types of students Returning students and those will limited funding.
Bang for the buck For the cost of tuition, you can't beat NMSU-A. I am getting a quality education for far less than the cost of the state 4 year universities, saving thousands by getting the associates degree first.
What to do for fun Alamogordo has the typical movie theater, small mall, and various sports bars.
Food and Dining There are many good, inexpensive options for dining in Alamogordo.
Academic Rigor The courses offered are challenging and engaging.
Tips for prospective students Work with your student advisor. They know what they are doing when they help you select not only the classes you should take, but the instructor that would be the best fit as well.
In three sentences This is a very friendly campus for returning adults. I would recommend anyone thinking about returning to college look here first. It has been a great experience.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I believe campus is safe but look out for poles; they tend to jump out in front of you if you're not looking where you are going :)
Greek Life There is no Greek life here that I've noticed.
Great for these types of students NMSU-A is great for those students who are going to college for the first time. Classes are smaller and works hand in hand with students.
What to do for fun Absolutely nothing. I have not noticed any clubs meeting up and Alamogordo is an extremely small town with a lot of military coming and going.
Food and Dining Nmsu-a doesn't have good food on campus so everyone has to go else where for food but it's within a ten minute drive to find somewhere to eat.
Dorm Life NMSU-A doesn't have dorms. Most students room with other people In houses or apartments.
Academic Rigor The professors know what they're talking about.
Tips for prospective students Find your classes before the first day. It'll help reduce anxiety and the typical freshman I don't know where I'm going expression
In three sentences The professors are extremely helpful and nice. This is my first semester in college ever and all of the professors that I've asked for help, they are extremely willing to help out in any possible way. Even the students are down to earth.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There are officers on campus but the do not portal and the one time I needed to see them they were not there.
What to do for fun There are no fun activity's on campus. We do not have any sports teams. Alamogordo is a small town and does not have much going on.
Food and Dining The food on campus is decent but very overpriced. Alamogordo is a small town so there are great restaurants nearby. If you are not going to be leaving campus for lunch bring your own food you will save a lot of money.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at NMSUA. You will have to rent or buy a place nearby.
Academic Rigor The teachers are good and well trained, and NMSUA offers a good range of classes.
Tips for prospective students Live close to the school. You can save a lot of money by riding a bike or walking to school. There is a great bike shop in town the has great bikes for commuting. I bought one and had them put a rack on it so I can carry all my stuff. Bring your lunch from home the food on campus is over priced.
In three sentences I would give NMSUA a B. The school it's self is nice and the staff are great. They are nice and helpful, but not all of them seem to know what they are doing. I have been given wrong information before. NMSUA has a nice, but small, student support center. There are not enough computers to go around and I often can not work because there are no open computers. It also gets very loud in the support center. The staff do not keep it quiet and it makes it hard to work or study. Most of the teachers take time for their students.

Categories Comments Campus Safety During the day it is a safe campus, however night time seems a bit unsafe. The lighting is not very good and the security officers are never in the dark areas.
Great for these types of students This university is definitely great for small town students or those who do not do well in a large setting.
Bang for the buck I have currently been taking advantage of the dual credit program and my high school has paid for my college up to this point. However, I believe the education I have received for the price I have seen on the receipts provided to my school has definitely been well worth the price.
What to do for fun This is a very small campus and there isn't any extra curriculum activities on campus.
Food and Dining The campus offers vending machines and a snack facility but not a major restaurant area.
Dorm Life This particular University does not offer a dorm facility.
Academic Rigor In my experience most of the professors I have had haven't been very helpful. I found out that the student academic centers were more beneficial than my professors.
Tips for prospective students My first tip for prospective students would be try to be the first to order the books necessary for the course you have entered because they never have enough and sometimes it takes them too long to get them in and you will end up falling behind in your course. If you are struggling in a course and not receiving the help you think you deserve talk to your professor's boss immediately. Take advantage of the student academic support center.
In three sentences New Mexico State University of Alamogordo is helpful for the classes they offer. Their staff is not knowledgeable for required classes needed in a field of major that they do not offer. The dual credit adviser is not helpful and is extremely hard to get in touch with.

Dorm Life lived off campus
Academic Rigor I really like this college and how helpful everyone is.
Tips for prospective students Just show up for class and you'll succeed and professors will appreciate your effort.
In three sentences I was skeptical about this college given how small the town is, but I was very impressed with how helpful every professor was. They all went above and beyond to help me succeed, even the online professors. I'm actually looking forward to school and to be in class with Dr. Lombrana again.

Tips for prospective students I would say make sure you do you research before entering classes, the admins are not very informitive.
In three sentences I would say this is a good school. The classes are small and controlled while the teachers are nice but not to forgiving. I love the online classes.

Academic Rigor College is supposed to be challenging just use your time wisely and study as much as possible.
Tips for prospective students Get all your paperwork done in a timely manner and utilize all of the resources available to you i.e. study rooms, student resources, student center.
In three sentences NMSUA is a great transitional school and very organized. It is just big enough to give you that college feel, but intimate enough to create a good learning environment. I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus to my experience is very safe. You do not usually here many bad cases of anything happening on the campus. Yes they do have occasional lock downs but for the most part it is very safe.
Great for these types of students For students who do not plan to do big majors.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The glass room is definitely unusual. You can lounge there. You could also do homework or play chess.
What to do for fun They have a game room area where you can play pool and enjoy your time. They also have a glass room where you can lounge or play chess.
Food and Dining There is a coffee shop type area for students to have a snack or beverage. The area is fairly nice. The hot chocolate was not particularly a favorite.
Dorm Life There are no campus dorms.
Academic Rigor The teachers intend to make sure you understand the academic curriculum.
Tips for prospective students Be sure to register on time to avoid extra fees.
In three sentences The NMSU Alamogordo campus is very professional with the students. The employees are very helpful and understanding of what is needing to be done. I find the tutoring station to be very helpful in improving my academic understandings.

Categories Comments What to do for fun They hold events at the theater and in the bistro, they also have clubs and study groups you can join.
Food and Dining They have a small bistro that sells sandwiches and other items during the day but not during the summer session.
Dorm Life Their are no dorms, its a small college, the larger branch in Las Cruses has some though.
Academic Rigor Just because it is a community college it doesn't mean they are lenient. They are strict, but they do understand situations that can arise. Never be afraid to approach them.
In three sentences Great, you feel like you can really connect with the professors and get one on one time with them. They also don't mind challenging you even when you are at a community college. I would recommend it to anyone who is scared to go try school again.

Categories Comments Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The campus is unusual in that it rests in the foothills of the mountains. As a result, the campus is designed aesthetically with horizontal lines and buildings actually seeming to rest in the curves of the mountain. While being well-kept, the grounds have a wonderful display of desert plants and wildlife.
What to do for fun At least a few times a month the campus provides free food (usually as a barbecue) for students while promoting a fun event like a zombie-walk or even an education open-discussion on scholarships or other education related topics. The campus also sports a chess club, student government, and other clubs for anyone interested to join. Various community dance classes are offered through the school for anyone looking to learn everything from swing to waltz.
Food and Dining NMSU-A has a small store for on-the-go lunches, snacks, and drinks. It provides a nice atmosphere for students to eat and study at the same time if they desire.
Dorm Life I cannot honestly rate dorm rooms because the NMSUA campus does not have dorms. The main campus has dormitories, but as I am not attending the main campus I cannot honestly give a rating. I rated at 3 stars because I considered that to be neutral in this circumstance.
Academic Rigor I consider NMSU-A to be a wonderful place for academics. Students can learn in small groups with special one-on-one instruction from teachers if necessary. The focus on knowledge feels less like a factory floor for the masses and more like a serious approach to career paths.
Tips for prospective students Any students considering NMSU-A should know that the campus is scenically located at the foothill of a mountain overlooking the City of Alamogordo. All staff and attending students are friendly, interesting people with varied backgrounds and similar interests in brightening the future. The school also participates in local community events and promotes various causes.
In three sentences The NMSU-A campus is a well-kept campus. Students and professors alike are dedicated to education and broadening horizons. When you're attending NMSU-A, you feel like your time there is well spent.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Small, tightly knit community means everyone gets along and even when they don't, respect is still shown by all parties.
Greek Life None of that here.
Clubs and Activities While not a member of any, cork-boards around campus are always filled with recruiting flyers for clubs
Great for these types of students Busy, working students out on their own.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus It is located on a large hill, so watch for longboarders while driving!
Bang for the buck Easy to pay for and plenty of options course wise.
What to do for fun Town itself is quite small, but there is a mall, movie theater and plenty of gyms around.
Food and Dining Again, small campus so no restaurants or anything like that.
Dorm Life No dorms! Have to live off campus.
Academic Rigor As long as you're studious and pay attention, classes are a breeze, they even have online classes, which surprised me with so small a college.
Tips for prospective students Show up early for parking if you drive! And take Sociology classes, even if their just elective for you, Lockhart is an amazing teacher.
In three sentences While being a much smaller campus than most, it's still a great learning environment. The teachers are attentive to their students, and the atmosphere is open, which makes learning, for me at least, a lot less stressful. Even the administrative staff is friendly!

Categories Comments Bang for the buck You will undoubtedly get the best education possible from this college. This is a community college, which means the prices are quite a bit lower than a university. There is no doubt that you will not love this college and the professors.
What to do for fun At last count, NMSU-A had over 15 official student groups and organizations. You'll not only meet new friends, but also make contacts for a future career. There is also a pool hall in the student union building where a wide variety of students frequent to.
Food and Dining NMSU-A provides a small bistro where food may be purchased, but the amount of choices you have are very limited. I recommend pack your own lunch and snacks.
Dorm Life As this is a Community College, there are no dorms. However I lived at home when I attended NMSU-A. So, my dorm life was very good.
Tips for prospective students Do not ever hesitate to ask for help from your teachers. I can guarantee you that they only want what is best for you. Don't forget about your fellow students though! No matter where you turn, there will always be some one willing to help you through.
In three sentences This college was an amazing experience for me to have. All the teachers have only the students best intrest at heart and will always be there for you when you need help. Simply the best college experience thus far.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The campus has a guy on patrol in a golf cart monitoring the campus regularly to make sure everything is fine. Also, the department of public safety of Alamogordo patrols the area in their vehicles to enforce the speeding and other laws.
Greek Life No really sure it has any greek life to it.
Clubs and Activities NMSUA has all kinds of clubs and activities on campus to keep you involved. They have rotary club, criminal justice club, and many more.
Great for these types of students It is good for students just coming out of high school, and sometimes students still in high school can get credits for attending as well. Other people who like the small town atmosphere may like attending here too.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus This campus is located on the mountain top across from the local hospital GCRMC. The campus has great editions that have been added to NMSUA over the years.
Bang for the buck I would definitely recommend this campus to any student interested in furthering their education, although most people have to transfer to another larger campus like in Las Cruces at NMSU.
What to do for fun I love to do martial arts, currently a 2nd degree black belt in korean tae kwon do. I have tae kwon do classes in the evenings on mondays, wednesdays, and fridays..I use hobby to keep me in shape and also to help me keep my mind on track. I find it very relaxing. Also, I have fun with my three kids 18 months, 3 years, and 4 years old. I try to spend a lot of time with them and I enjoy watching them grow up.
Food and Dining They have food on campus and vending machines, in case you get thirsty. Although, NMSU at Alamogordo is much smaller then say NMSU at Las Cruces. We do not have dining and cafes on campus like they do on Las Cruce Campus.
Dorm Life I have not had the opportunity to live in the dorm rooms. I'm a mom of 3 beautiful babies and I took time off from college to have them at age 21. When I started college in the beginning I lived with my parents, then getting married I moved out into my own place.
Academic Rigor Try not to overdue it on academic classes, when first starting plan out your classes and break them up with core/fun classes. This way you will have a combination of your classes you have to take and classes that you find interesting. The interesting classes will keep you going, while the required classes may be a bit more boring to take.
Tips for prospective students A few tips would be to get familiar with the campus, so that you can find your classes in a timely manner and also to relieve any stress on your first day. Don't be afraid to ask questions about financial aid and other resources like registration.
In three sentences New Mexico State University of Alamogordo is a very friendly and small academic place. When entering the building of the student services I am greeted immediately with a warm smile from all the staff members there.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck NMSU-A is more for atypical college students who are paying for their own education, paying their own bills, have families and jobs. It is not the typical college with parties, dorms, sorority/ fraternitiy pledging, and drunk nights. This college is for people strictly going to school to hurry up and finish. If you are looking for that authentic college experience, this is not the college for you.
What to do for fun Alamogordo, New Mexico is not a place where people typically brag about fun activities but within an hour in any direction you can find activities such as mountain climbing, skiing, fishing, parachuting, horseback riding, camping, and other outdoor activities.
Food and Dining The food is not impressive..that is all.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at NMSU-A but there are apartments nearby perfect for students. If you are looking for the dorm life college experience NMSU-las cruces would be a better fit (about an hour away).
Academic Rigor Their are many academic opportunities at NMSU. My major is nursing right now and I can say that it is difficult but worth it. As for the other classes, some classes are difficult and some are easy, but the good thing about NMSU-A is that the classes are relatively small and the teachers are more readily available.
Tips for prospective students Three tips for prospective students would be to come to NMSU-A with a plan on what you want to major in and what your want to be so that you aren't aimlessly taking classes, speak with an advisor so that you can develop an attainable goal, and apply for financial aid opportunities.
In three sentences NMSU-A is an excellent school for mothers, fathers, continuing students, students who can't travel far, students with families, students with jobs, military members and other atypical college students. NMSU-A has some wonderful teachers, and some not so wonderful teachers but the school in general is very accommodating and perfect for a mother and nursing student like me.

Food and Dining The food in the bistro is ok; kinda over-priced.
Dorm Life No Dorms.
Academic Rigor The coursework can be challenging at times, but overall manageable.
Tips for prospective students Always talk to an advisor when considering classes, they can help you find a good fit with a teacher. Use the ASC if you need help, it's a valuable resource.
In three sentences NMSU-A has a nice campus. NMSU-A's advising and financial aid departments are very helpful and thorough. NMSU-A students are friendly.

Categories Comments Campus Safety I have never heard of a robbery, shooting, theft--or anything else like that. I would say the campus is pretty safe, given the area. I would stay there if I was a local.
Greek Life Again, I do not have time to indulge in a sorority. I live in a military base, with my husband.
Clubs and Activities I am a full-time employee, wife, and student. I do not have time to be part of such events. Though, I would love to join the choir or the volleyball team!
Great for these types of students Military spouses should definitely take advantage of this. Out of all my girlfriends on this base, I would say that probably 2 out of every 10 military wives I know actually attend school. this school is affordable and fun, and the faculty is very approachable. It is such a comfortable atmosphere!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I do not spend time on the campus. I live on base and take my courses online, and some courses that are not online are offered on base.
Bang for the buck The best part of this campus is the price! College is very expensive, and in this economy, everyone is pinching their pennies. The credit hour rate is worth it. Not to mention, there is a set rate for 12 to 18 credit hours, meaning that when I take a full course load of 18 credit hours, I pay the same as someone who is only taking 12 credit hours! It is fairly cheap compared to my first college--$15,000/per year. This price is excellent!
What to do for fun The New Mexico State University website is always jampacked with a fun calendar. There are always things happening to get students involved in the atmosphere. Though I can rarely make it, it is nice to see that the faculty care so much about motivating the students.
Food and Dining Again, I live in military base housing. Therefore, I do not reside on campus.
Dorm Life I live on a military installation with my husband. I do not reside in the dormatories.
Academic Rigor My instructors have all been very helpful to me, and the experience has been rewarding. Being a military spouse is difficult, and I am proud to say that they have greatly helped me advance myself through postsecondary education. Also, there are a lot of courses that are offered on the base. I take online courses through NMSU-A, and the other courses that I wish to take are on base, so I do not have to drive out to Alamogordo for class. It is pure nirvana!
Tips for prospective students You must make sure to explain exactly what it is that you want to major in. Miscommunication is a big issue. Keep your head on straight, and do not forget to study! Don't be afraid to ask for help from other students; everyone is friendly and has been in the same place as you at one point in their life.
In three sentences Excellent course list for an Associate's Degree, but not alot of choices for 300 or 400 level courses. Instructors can be very unclear, but also very helpful. The faculty and staff are always upbeat and friendly!

What to do for fun i love to play board games with my husband and friends. just hanging out and watching tv or movies is fun too.
Food and Dining i have not dined on campus, but i am sure it is fine.
Tips for prospective students you must be dedicated if you plan on taking online courses. otherwise, you may really struggle to keep up.
In three sentences the only courses i've taken were online so i can't give a campus review. i really loved my human biology class. i plan to transfer to the main campus in las cruces this summer to pursue a bachelor of science in biochemistry, but will still be taking some lower level courses online or on campus here in alamogordo.

Money is never a more sensitive subject than when it comes up in relationships. In fact, fighting about money is one of the biggest predictors of divorce.
But it doesn't have to be: Here we explain how to have the money talk—and why it's so important.
And—newsflash—not only can knowing how to talk about money make your relationship more peaceable, knowing that you know how to handle it makes you more attractive to your significant other.
Want More?
The M Word: The Talk Everyone Needs to Have
Don't believe us? We asked nine guys ages 28 to 40—some married, some about to be, some on the market, some straight, some gay—to reflect on the financial issues they take into account before getting serious with someone.
Hear how they really feel about everything from the "wallet reach" and cheap tippers to settling down with someone who has a lot of debt.
LearnVest: What do you think of 'the reach'—when your date reaches for his or her wallet when the check comes?
"It's appreciated and the polite thing to do. Within the first three dates, the guy should politely say 'I got it,' but the woman should offer. It shows she isn't being a user."
Kevin, Westfield, NJ
" 'The reach' is a bit awkward—it's like, 'I'm going to make a very obvious, slow-motioned movement just to be considerate, but I'm expecting you to pay.' The gesture is nice in a way, but honestly, I just want a woman to give a sincere 'thank you' afterward. I'd prefer she say something like, 'Would you like me to help pay?' It acknowledges the elephant in the room in a direct, but polite way."
Greg, Houston, TX
"Depends on when it happens in the relationship. A girl can't go wrong doing the reach early. It's the safe play. If there was no reach after date number two—or an offer to pay the tip or, 'At least let me treat next time' – then that's a problem and would give me a little pause."
Brian W., New York, NY
At what stage of the relationship should a significant other start picking up the tab?
"I'm very old-fashioned, and I still think the person who asks someone out should pick up the check. At least on the first date. I think it starts pretty naturally from the beginning of a relationship and gets easier over time."
Pat, Pittsburgh, PA
"I think the bigger deal is kind of the opposite—I'd know I'm close to 'something real' if we stop thinking so much about who gets what and we started thinking more like we're making decisions like a pair and less like two individuals."
Dan, New York, NY
"I think after three or four dates, or once it has become an exclusive relationship, it is probably time to start sharing the cost."
Brian W., New York, NY
How do you feel about dating an over-spender?
"Won't do it. Not interested."
Dave, Philadelphia, PA
"If a girl is an over-spender with a ton of credit card debt and a closet full of stuff she never wears or uses, I think it demonstrates an undisciplined 'live for the day' type of attitude. I would be fine dating someone like that but that is as far as it would go—dating."

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Bear the Chimp - Traveling chimpanzee (a.k.a. "The Kid") on the comedy adventure B.J. & THE BEAR/NBC/1979-81.
Bear was a four-year-old, good-natured chimp owned by Billie Joe "BJ" McCay (Greg Evigan), a young Vietnam veteran trucker who plied his trade by driving a red and white rig across the country.
B.J. first met Bear in Vietnam when Bear brought B.J. food while he was a POW. B.J. named his pet companion (who accompanied him on all of his trips) after Paul "Bear" Bryant, a football coach from the University of Alabama, whom B.J. considered the greatest coach of all times.
Bear's real name was Sam. He was born in the wilds of Africa and imported to the United States by an animal dealer and later sold to his trainer, Marvin Downey. Bear's stand-in was Jimmy the chimp.
Theme Song Lyrics Hey there, where ya goin'? Not exactly knowin' Who says you have to call just one place home. He's goin' everywhere, B.J. McKay and his best friend Bear. He just keeps on movin'. Ladies keep improvin' Every day is better than the last. New dreams and better scenes, And best of all I don't pay property tax. Rollin' down to Dallas. Who's providin' my palace? Off to New Orleans or who knows where. Places new and ladies, too, I'm B.J. McKay and this is my best friend Bear.

"One concern when users FTP into your server, is that by default users who have accounts can roam your server to view contents of files. VSFTPD by default does not allow user logins, it allows anonymous by default. Anonymous users by default are locked into the directory that they login to. This is exactly what you would want. However, if you set up user FTP accounts you will probably want to limit those users so they can only access their own files and not other users. In order to achieve this you must place them in a chroot jail."

Debian Lenny on Android Phones
Thanks to a hack a few days ago, BusyBox has been running on the T-Mobile G1 mobile phones with Google's Android platform. Now Jay Freeman, alias saurik, goes a step further: in his blog he describes how to install Debian Lenny by way of root access on the device.
All is well, according to Freeman on his website, because Debian already supports ARM EABI. EABI stands for Embedded Application Binary Interface developed by ARM to be the interface port for the same-named 32-bit microprocessors.
Freeman established a special hacker's mailing list to discuss the G1. The steps to your own Debian phone, however, are not trivial. Among other things you have to add a filesystem to the kernel and pack root into a filesystem image that you then mount on Android's 16-Gbyte FAT.
Beginners beware of such experimentation, unless you inherited a trust fund. Parts of the world where G1s are not yet available can only watch as those that do have them promptly turn them into bricks. The next updates to the device are already on the way, so Freeman advises users to play with it "while you still can." Unfortunately saurik's website doesn't show pictures of the result of his successful hack.

Introducing: beautiful watercolours and lithography from illustrator Ruta Daubure
Recent Camberwell illustration graduate Ruta Daubure has spent her time in education wisely, leaving university with a portfolio that any young creative would be proud of. She's a dab hand at creating narrative driven editorial illustration – images that experiment with form and scale, deftly luring you into a world that seems light-hearted at first, but quickly reveals a more intricate web of emotional complexity – and extremely proficient in a variety of print processes; from litho to Riso.
All of her work is grounded in good old-fashioned draughtsmanship though, drawing quickly and decisively with inks and watercolours with as little intrusion from any digital media as possible. We met Ruta recently at an event in London and decided to pester her to find out a little more about the intricate workings of her day-to-day.
Where do you work?
I always work at my desk in my studio in Peckham, shared with six other Camberwell Illustration graduates. Sometimes I do work at home, bvut it's more fun working in the studio; I can see what the others have been up to and it works for me if I divide work and home. Also I tend to need every single brush or paint I have whenever I get to work, so it's good to have all the stuff at one place.
How does your working day start?
I usually go through my emails and see if there is something good waiting for me. Ideally there is.
How do you work and how has that changed?
I used to be sort of scared of trying new things out, or I'd try them out but didn't really apply them in my own work. Now I'm not as scared of failing I guess, as long as I keep moving on to the next project. I would also like to think my work actually has some sort of base now, which I know for sure wasn't there couple years ago.
Where would we find you when you're not at work?
I would probably be at home. I need a lot of alone time.
Would you intern for yourself?
I would say no, because I'm learning to juggle a couple of things myself and being an intern for me sometimes would be a bit confusing, with a lot of uncertainty most of the time. However, I do believe there are useful things I could pass on to people.

Terex® TLB840 backhoe loader works for the Lubrza Municipality community in Poland
A small municipality in southern Poland has a new hero – the Terex® TLB840. This backhoe loader helps them tackle every job from damage repairs, water pipe fittings and pavement construction to snow clearing. It is maneuverable, easy to operate and the cab offers excellent visibility – drivers and local officials alike sing the praises of the machine.
WARSAW, POLAND, 22nd May 2013 --- Recently, local officials from the municipal housing and engineering office in the Lubrza Municipality, Opole Voivodeship, southern Poland, thought long and hard about buying a modern and versatile backhoe loader for the needs of the whole municipality after the previous machine needed to be replaced. The municipality needed a versatile machine, one which could work all year long and be cost-efficient. On the advice of Asbud Maszyny Budowlane Sp.z o.o., one of the Terex distributors in Poland, they chose the Terex TLB840 backhoe loader.
The TLB840 is now being used in the construction of a gravel road and storm drains, to improve ditches and for snow-clearing, among other tasks. It is the only machine of its kind in the municipality, which means its durability and productivity are going to be thoroughly tested.
"We were looking for a machine to help us carry out our municipal projects, such as the construction of roads, and replacement of the drainage and water supply systems. It was also very important for us to secure the longest warranty possible," explains Kamil Postawa of the Municipal Housing and Engineering Office in Lubrza.
Dependable hydraulics were also a key requirement of the purchase. "The advantages of the hydraulic system were among the factors which helped us decide on this machine over others on offer. It is important that the hydraulics are easily accessible and there are no leakages," said Kamil Postawa.
According to Krzysztof Janik, operator of the backhoe loader, the machine's versatility is its greatest asset as it is capable of performing complicated jobs in relatively confined spaces, e.g. gas-pipe connections in the gardens of houses. He also praised the machine's maneuverability – specifically its small turning circle (with a turning radius of 10.6 meters over the bucket and 7.9 meters over the tyres). Marcus Rosenkrantz, Terex Sales Director, says that this is because the TLB840 was designed with the operator in mind.
Rosenkrantz said: "In terms of versatility, the TLB840 can perform a number of tasks as it can be fitted with a wide variety of attachments, for example, pneumatic hammers or post-hole augers. It can also be equipped with lifting attachments with burst valves which makes it an excellent choice for people who need a machine that can work on a wide variety of jobs. Our TLB840 also provides a high level of comfort for the driver, from the spacious cab with good visibility, to the ample seating space. It is well suited to the varied tasks it will be working on in Opole Voivodeship."
Bartosz Szczesniak from Terex distributor Asbud said ease of service is an important benefit of the TLB840: "Without doubt, the extended service intervals of 500 hours of operation versus many competitors' 250 hours are an additional advantage of the TLB840 model. To help with servicing, Terex has also included Kevlar friction discs on the outboard planetary drive axles to make them easily accessible once the wheels are off. On many competing models, the brake discs are located in the drive axle housing, which is not as convenient. The material used to make the friction discs is hard-wearing and the location of the discs shortens the replacement time if it becomes necessary to change."
Szczesniak says another important feature to help with ease of service is the externally adjustable stabilizer and dipperstick wear pads, easily adjustable by the driver, saving the callout of specialist service engineers.
"These are just some examples of the solutions offered by the TLB840 model which save on maintenance costs during these tough times for the construction industry," adds Szczesniak.
The TLB840 is powered by a turbocharged diesel engine, has dual brake pedals, optional 2- or 4-wheel drive, power steering, a bucket with centrally located lift capacity and a hydraulic system equipped with tandem gear pumps with an unloader valve.
Although it will face both difficult and numerous tasks, the Terex backhoe is proving it can meet the municipal challenges, thanks to its versatility, comfort and natural maneuverability.

Hello, my name is Parry Skinner, and on April 1st, I am going to ride across America on a bike with my dad, Thomas Skinner. At the moment, that is all I can think about. Every morning I get up, get dressed, if I remember then I'll eat some breakfast, then I'm out riding my bike around my part of the city.
My dad battles Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) every second of every day, so I have a pretty good idea as to why the success of our mission is so important to him. I know his heart goes out to all of the returning veterans and all of their families that have to go what he goes through. This is why he has put together his presentation, "What Comes After Welcome Home?" In his presentation, he tells some of his own story and what he is currently going through, but more importantly, he presents veterans, friends, and family with the resources they need to help reintegrate successfully after deployment.
My dad bought me my first bike when I was about five years old. A few months later, the training wheels came off, and after many scraped knees and elbows, I was riding every day. I have been riding casually ever since then. So needless to say, I'm no stranger to riding a bike. But I must say, now that I have started to train for the Awareness Adventure 2012, my appreciation of the ride has gone to a whole new level. I'm not sure how to describe it, but it is an awesome, beautiful feeling, and I cannot wait to see just what America has in store for me!
I know both my dad and I train just about every day, but our experiences on our rides are totally different. A day when he climbs a large 1,000 ft hill may be a day that I decide to take a ride down in southern Louisiana and see some gators in the swamp. It's just awesome to think that pretty soon, this is what I'm going to be doing every day. I'll be seeing new things, riding with my dad, and helping soooo many people out.
I'm not really sure what this trip has in store for me and my dad, but I do know one thing. It's going to be awesome!

The new Peugeot 408 Sedan has recently leaked in a couple of images ahead of its public debut which will take place this weekend, during the 2014 Beijing Motor Show.
The brand new Peugeot 408 Sedan will be officially presented to the public during the 2014 Beijing Motor Show, but rather than being kept a surprise, the model in question has actually leaked ahead of its debut. The images posted below are showing the China-spec 408 Sedan but chances are that the European version will look pretty much the same, but it may receive the 308 Sedan moniker, later on, instead of the current 408.
When compared to the hatchback, the 408 Sedan has a longer overhang, wider horizontal taillights and some other tweaks. The vehicle will be riding on the same EMP2 platform used on the hatchback and wagon and the Chinese version will be using a 117 HP (82 kW) 1.6 liter naturally aspirated engine, a 140 HP (104 kW) 1.8 liter and a 163 HP (121 kW) 1.6 liter turbo. The European variant will be coming with the same Euro-6 compliant units, along with the 1.2 liter PureTech e-THP turbocharged gasoline burner, rated at 130 HP (96 kW).

Simple Yet Comprehensive CD Receiver

About Me Engineer
Best Uses
Comments about Alpine Single DIN CD/HD Radio Receiver:
This is a reasonably priced head unit that has the features of HD radio, CD player, Satellite Radio via aux input, and iPod Touch capability via front USB input.It is simple to install, simple to use, and provides surprisingly good sound quality from its internal amplifier.I have installed a number of head units using the RCA outputs to an external amplifier to achieve better sound. This unit provides sound quality almost equal to an external amp.I really like the iPod tagging feature, the HD radio functions, and the ability to set it up for iPod control via the iPod itself.I compared this to Pioneer and Sony head units, and this one has better features. I have previously used Sony Xplod head units, and this one beats Sony hands down.

What was expected, it happened, Honda has announced its version of the Honda Pilot for 2015, called the 2015 Honda Pilot. Although we do not expect a major transformation of the model compared to the previous one, but now the popularity is growing rapidly. This model is particularly popular in the USA, which was sent to Honda makes great cars, while in Europe is somewhat less enthusiasm. This is a great model and probably will in many ways be better than the previous one.
The lower part and the fog lights are redesigned, which contributes to its compact appearance. Manufacturer promises its customers that the new Honda Pilot have improved fuel economy, thanks to a six-speed transmission that replaces the previous five-point model. The most remarkable feature regarding the 2015 design is that the car will get a really modern look. There is an opinion going around that the 2013 Pilot is aworkhorse with excellent performance. However, its box shape has not found admirers. In fact, the 2013 model is supposed to have an "angry robot" look. The restyling is being done to remove this impression. So, 2015 Honda Pilot will be very different, but in what way this remains to be seen, but we will certainly get any information you transmit to you.
The interior took place a number of changes, which are mostly related to audio and navigation system. According to our information, the 2015 Honda Pilot will have a 310 HP 265 lbs.ft and 3.5 l V6 engene with a CVT for the front wheel drive versions, and a 6 speed automatic transmission for models with all wheel drive. But with the launch of the new 2014 Acura MDX it is became clear to us that the model will be the 2015 Pilot who all look forward to. Given that it is a reliable family car that can carry up to eight people with luggage, then we can say that this is not a bad car.

Earlier this week the French justice minister, Rachida Dati put in, what was by all accounts, a less-than-convincing appearance at a question and answer session during a meeting of young members of the centre-right Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (Union for a Popular Movement, UMP) party
The subject - Europe - as Dati is standing as number two in the list for Ile de France (the region of Paris and its surrounding area) for the party in the upcoming European parliamentary elections.
But was Dati just "playing a game" as she insists or did she in fact not know how to answer the questions?
To begin with, Dati turned up 90 minutes late and the way in which she answered some of the questions gave many commentators the impression that she hadn't really prepared in the first place.
Here's a sample
First question was one that didn't cause too many problems,
"After Paris, which is the most beautiful capital in Europe?" someone asked.
"After Paris.....Rome," replied Dati with intermittent giggles.
And then the question, "The most beautiful European monument outside of France?"
(Giggles) "I'll 'phone a friend," she responded.
And then with a questioning glance to the moderator, "Sagrada Família in Barcelona?" Followed by more giggles, smiles and an appreciative round of applause from the audience.
Later on though the questions became more difficult, and Dati's answers accordingly more incomprehensible.
When asked whether she was more in favour of wind power or the Iter project (the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) based in the south of France, Dati replied, "I'll say that 77 per cent of our energy comes from nuclear - that's right isn't it?"
A pause followed during which someone from the audience reminded her that it was "77 per cent of electricity (in France) and not energy."
"Electricity...you said energy," she replied to the initial questioner.
More giggles and then, "So nuclear, yes. And then of course it's necessary to invest in research for sustainable energy, which includes wind power," she continued.
"That's right isn't it?"
If that answer hadn't been entirely convincing, there was apparently more confusion to come later when Dati was asked whether she thought Europe occupied itself too much with international affairs.
Her reply was......well you judge.
"It gets involved in what we give it to be involved in. And then it gets involved in things we give it to be involved in with the people who are able to carry out the affairs with which they're involved," she replied turning to the moderator to check whether she had answered the question well.
Immediately after the meeting as the French media began reporting what had happened, the Socialist party described her performance as "the offhandedness of a minister in disgrace" whereas the UMP insisted it was a moment of "relaxation" in front of the party's young members.
There was no official statement from the office of the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy.
And Dati, what did she have to say?
She claimed the meeting was supposed to be in the format of that popular television quiz, "Qui veut gagner des millions" (Who wants to be a millionaire) and she had only been playing her role.
"I was invited by the youth membership of the party to participate in a parody of the show," she said on national radio on Thursday.
"The idea was to take that tone in answering certain questions. So for example when there were questions about football, that's what I did," she continued.
"When it comes to energy, I know the sector perfectly well," she maintained.
"What we had organised with the members present was that I would ask to 'call a friend' - the audience - responding to the question as though I had been given the response. It was a parody."
And as far as the claim that she hadn't been particularly well prepared for the meeting Dati said, "I'm out there campaigning practically every day, except of course when I have ministerial duties to perform.
"The whole polemic doesn't interest me, and it never has," she continued.
"I think politics is like life and sometimes it's important to relax and laugh."
Dati is number two on the UMP list for the European parliamentary elections for Ile de France behind a fellow cabinet member, the agriculture minister, Michel Barnier.
If as expected they're both elected on June 7, they will both have to stand down from their governmental posts.

By BILL GOTTLIEB
A man's last years ought to be spent strapped to the fighting chair of a
game-fisher while battling a black marlin, not tethered to a nursing-home bed,
incontinent and unable to talk.
But the latter is a likely scenario if you're one of approximately 600,000
Americans who will have a stroke this year.
"Your chance of dying is 20 percent-but you have a 40 percent chance of
being disabled and a 25 percent chance of being severely disabled," says Dr. David Spence, director of the
stroke-prevention center at the Robarts
Research Institute in Canada.
An ischemic stroke—the kind that
affects most men—occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked by arterial
plaque that has broken loose and caused a blood clot. In fact, it's just like a
heart attack, only instead of heart cells dying for lack of blood, brain cells
are kicking off-thousands of brain cells. Perhaps paralyzing half of your body.
Or slurring your speech. Or plunging you into senility.
But a "brain attack" is not inevitable.
"Fifty to 80 percent of strokes can be prevented," says Dr. David Wiebers, a professor of neurology at the Mayo
Clinic and author of Stroke-Free for Life. "Making the simple choices at
25, 35, or 45 years of age can make an enormous difference in preventing stroke
when you're in your 60s, 70s, or 80s."
Swallow Nature's Blood Thinner
Loma Linda University researchers found that
men who drank five or more 8-ounce glasses of water daily cut their stroke risk by 53 percent compared with guys who drank
fewer than three glasses. Water helps to thin the blood, which in turn makes it
less likely to form clots, explains Jackie Chan, Dr.P.H., the lead study
But don't chug your extra H2O all at once.
"You need to drink water throughout the day to keep your blood thin,
starting with a glass or two in the morning," adds Dr. Chan.
Swig Less Soda
Unless it's the diet stuff. The Loma Linda University researchers also discovered that the men who drank
large quantities of fluids other than water actually had a higher risk of
stroke—46 percent higher.
One theory is that sugary drinks like soda draw water out of the
bloodstream, thickening the blood. Another explanation may be the boost in
triglycerides caused by sipping liquid sugar.
"Elevated levels of triglycerides-any level above 150-are a risk factor
for arterial disease," says Dr. Daniel Fisher, an assistant professor at
the New York University School of Medicine.
Count to 3
You may have just lowered your stroke risk.
In a study published in the journal Stroke, researchers noted that of 2,100
men, the anxious guys were three times more likely to have a fatal ischemic
stroke than the more serene men. "
Anxiety causes chronic overproduction of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that
regulates the brain's control of circulation," says Ernest Friedman, M.D.,
a professor of psychiatry at Case
Western Reserve University.
Counting to three—or reining in your racing mind in any other way—helps by
stabilizing your levels of serotonin, the antidote to excess dopamine, says Dr.
Hold Your Breath
At least when you're around a smoker. University of Auckland
researchers found that people exposed to secondhand smoke are 82 percent more
likely to suffer a stroke than those who never inhale. It seems that carbon
monoxide promotes clot formation by interfering with nitric oxide, a
biochemical that relaxes blood vessels.
"To get rid of every single bit of carbon monoxide after a night at the
bar, you'd have to breathe fresh air for about 8 hours. But most of the carbon
monoxide will be gone from your body in the first hour," says Laurence
Fechter, Ph.D., a professor of toxicology at the University of Oklahoma.
So on your way home, make sure you roll down the car windows and start
sucking in some clean air.
Beat Homocysteine
Research suggests that people with high blood levels of this amino acid are
more likely to stroke out than those with low readings. Extra folate will help reduce
the risk, but only for some people. "Fifty to 60 percent won't respond
with lower homocysteine," says Dr. Seth J. Baum, medical director of the
Mind/Body Medical Institute, a Harvard affiliate.
Dr. Baum recommends 1,000 micrograms (mcg) of folate, plus 25 milligrams
(mg) of vitamin B6, 1,000 mcg of B12, and 1,800 mg of the amino acid
N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC). "With folate, B6, B12, and NAC supplements,
almost everyone will have normal homocysteine levels," says Dr. Baum.
Pick Up an Iron Supplement
Aerobic exercise is antistroke medicine. Can't run or cycle to save your
life? Then lift. "Regular resistance training decreases blood pressure,
elevates HDL cholesterol, lowers LDL cholesterol, and decreases the stickiness
of the blood," says Dr. Jerry Judd Pryde, a physiatrist at Cedars-Sinai Hospital
in Los Angeles.
If you don't already weight-train, try the American
Heart Association program: Lift weights two or three times a week, targeting
the major muscle groups. For each of the following, choose a weight you can
lift eight to 12 times at most, and do one set to fatigue: bench press,
shoulder press, lying triceps extension, biceps curl, seated row, lat pulldown,
crunch, squat, Romanian deadlift, and calf raise.

For the 2002 Stratford Festival, LD Kevin Fraser designed two very different productions, Shakespeare's All's Well that Ends Well and Lerner and Loewe's My Fair Lady. On All's Well, he says, "The biggest challenge is the Festival stage itself and the relationship between the stage and the audience. The theatre has a brown hardwood thrust stage, with balcony, and a solid wood back wall that matches the stage floor. In All's Well, as in most traditional Shakespeare productions, very little ...

The cake serves approximately 12 people (excluding the front of the igloo).
First, mix black and orange gum paste and leave some white. My hands turn a lovely shade of fuscia when I mix black fondant or gum paste. It usually wears off after a few rounds of dishes or a nice hot bath.
I also baked 18 chocolate cupcakes with the remaining cake batter from the double recipe. The 6" rounds baked 350F for 25 minutes and the dome cake baked 350F for 35 minutes. Oven times may vary.
I mixed a batch of buttercream frosting and tinted it sky blue for the crumb coat of the igloo. Spread a layer of frosting between the 6" round and the dome cake. Then crumb coat (thin layer of frosting) the rest of the cake.
For the entrance to the igloo is constructed using a cake donut cut in half and stacked side-by-side. Crumb coat the donuts as well.
Mix until combined. Remove from bowl and knead the mixture on a greased surface until smooth and pliable. If too sticky, add more powdered sugar. If too dry, add more water.
Roll fondant on a surface lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Use a knife or pizza cutter to make 1/2" to 3/4" strips of fondant.
Then slice the strips into rectangle shaped blocks. You can vary the widths, but try to use the same height for each row of snow blocks.
Working from the base of the igloo, start placing your fondant snow blocks. I added another thin coating of sky blue frosting and wanted a little of the blue to show between the stacking of snow blocks.
You could stack the fondant blocks closer or you could roll a large piece of fondant and cover the entire igloo and then use a tool to create the indentation of the blocks. If you clicked through to the foodnetwork cake, they used broken up piece of white chocolate to cover the igloo.
You can continue the blocks all the way to cover the dome or stop and add white frosting for snow on the top. I wanted snow on the top and across the passageway.
Last step is to place the penguins. Flatten a piece of fondant and stick to the cake stand and squish the penguin into the fondant to stand. I also rolled small balls of fondant for snowballs to place at the feet of the penguins.

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf said during a recent New York visit that his is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. Facing external pressure to be a major partner in the "war on terror" and internal pressure to resist Western influence, Musharraf must consistently pull off a delicate balancing act amid a tenuous security situation. But recent accusations suggest the scales have tipped too far to one side. Last month, the BBC published excerpts of a leaked report from a British military think tank alleging that Pakistan has been indirectly "supporting terrorism and extremism—whether in London on 7/7, or in Afghanistan, or Iraq." Days later the police chief in Mumbai, India, claimed to have proof (Dawn) that Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, planned the July 11 attacks on that city's commuter rail system. In late September, Afghan President Hamid Karzai complained at a CFR meeting that he had provided Islamabad with the location of fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Omar's hideout near Quetta, Pakistan, yet Musharraf took no action. A new Backgrounder examines the charges that the ISI is supporting terrorists.
Musharraf has spent the last several weeks fending off his critics. In a video interview with the BBC, he stressed the essential role his country plays. "Remember my words," he said, "If the ISI is not with you and Pakistan is not with you, you will lose in Afghanistan." But when questioned a few days later about Pakistani support for the Taliban on U.S. television, Musharraf acknowledged that some retired members of his intelligence services could be aiding the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan.
On Saturday, Musharraf took an encouraging step, arresting nearly fifty suspected Taliban fighters (Hindu) on the outskirts of Quetta. Some experts are skeptical of Pakistan's commitment to pursuing the Taliban, suggesting the arrests are simply a bid for a reprieve from criticism. NATO leaders have loudly condemned Pakistan (EurasiaNet)for what they see as clear ISI support of the Taliban, while pressing Western leaders to call Musharraf's bluff. General David Richards, NATO's commander in Afghanistan, traveled to Pakistan on Tuesday (BBC) to discuss the country's role in fighting terrorism.
Allegations of duplicity have not played well in the Pakistani press. An editorial in The News, a Pakistani newspaper, cites "the significant number of casualties suffered by Pakistani forces and civilians, not to mention the damaging political fallout of supporting the war on terror," as evidence that Musharraf is not "faking it." One thing that is undeniable is that the Taliban has bounced back (Frontline), and poses a serious threat to the future security of Afghanistan. Speaking with CFR.org's Bernard Gwertzman, Afghanistan expert Barnett R. Rubin says Pakistan's support for the insurgency has pushed Afghanistan to "a potential tipping point." A Backgrounder looks at what NATO is doing along the troublesome Afghan-Pakistani border.

The Flats Gallery, a College of Mount St. Joseph off-campus urban arts partnership, announces the opening of a very exciting exhibition of Seek & Find posters (June 25-August 3, 2013) that echoes most of the series that was recently installed at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center facility in Green Township. The 24 posters on display were original designs by Mount graphic design students under the direction of Beth Belknap Brann, associate professor of graphic design, in collaboration with Cincinnati Children's, Kolar Design, ArtWorks and students from Bridgetown Middle School, C.O. Harrison Elementary School and Oak Hills High School, whose lively drawings are embedded in the poster designs. A closing reception to acknowledge the participants is scheduled for Saturday, August 3, from 2-4 p.m. It will be open to the public.
The sophomore Mount graphic design students created the series of original posters that feature recognizable west side icons within each of the designs. The "seek-and-find" concept will be used as a game for waiting patients and their parents at Children's Hospital Medical Center. Some of the west side connections that are hidden within each poster include Western Bowl, Zip Dip, corn hole, high school sports, recreational activities and annual community events.
"This was an amazing opportunity for our students," said Beth Belknap Brann. "Sophomore year is the first time our students work with design programs on the computer. The sophomores jumped in and really landed on their feet." Belknap Brann then added, "This is such a great collaboration between emerging student talent, a highly regarded hospital and top design professionals in the city."
Kolar Design, a nationally-renowned graphic design firm in Cincinnati, and the non-profit ArtWorks, worked with Mount students in the fall of 2012. After several community engagement sessions with area schools and the public, students generated a concept from gathered sketches, comments and ideas and then turned it into a graphic representation. They then presented their digital design concepts to representatives from Kolar Design and ArtWorks for critiquing. Students used the color palette that is tied into the CCHMC brand, creating posters that are imaginative, upbeat, engaging and reflective of west side communities. Twenty-four of the overall 36 posters that were chosen for the project will be on view at the Flats Gallery through August 3.
The Seek & Find posters will also serve as an inspiring backdrop for the exciting and interactive Flats Gallery Summer Workshop Series featuring two Wednesday evening sessions on July 24 and August 7 from 6-8pm. For more details and registration information, go to www.msj.edu/flats.
Flats Gallery business hours are: Tuesdays from 4-7 p.m.; Fridays 3-6 p.m.; Saturdays 1-5 p.m.
Flats Gallery is closed on major holidays, and College holidays. Admission is free.
The College of Mount St. Joseph is an undergraduate and graduate Catholic college that provides an interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curriculum emphasizing values, service and social responsibility.

Occidental College
Campus Conversations
Blogger: Lisa Gilliland
As we reach the point where counting months turns into counting weeks until graduation I've begun to experience the first of the "lasts." Already having seen my last football game and had my last Spring Break (this one's particularly bittersweet). I attended my last Dance Production performance this past weekend. Dance production is an annual event that is completely organized and run by Oxy students. Extremely talented students choreograph dances from hip hop to ballet, and this year over 300 students participated as dancers in the show! Seeing this show is always a highlight of my year because it gives me a chance to be blown away by the talents of my incredibly bright and passionate classmates - whether they're my friends or people I see in passing in the quad.
Of course as graduation draws nearer and nearer I'll be experiencing more lasts, a few of which I'm very much looking forward to (my last final, my last research paper, my last 8:30 am class) but there are also a lot of events in the coming month that I am already nostalgic for. Most of these are fantastic community service events that various clubs on campus put on annually. On April 13th the Occidental Sport Business and Law Network (of which I am Vice President) together with a few other students are putting on a 4 on 4 volleyball tournament fundraiser for Nothing but Nets, a grassroots organization that sends mosquito nets that protect families for up to 4 years! Later on in April is my favorite fundraiser, which my sorority Kappa Alpha Theta puts on, which is a Dodgeball tournament! The proceeds from this tournament go towards our philanthropy CASA - Court Appointed Special Advocates, and it is always a really well attended event! One of my favorite things about events such as these, is that so many students want to participate in community service, and these clubs and organizations make it so easy to do good on a daily basis! This just goes to show the kind of generous and good hearted people Oxy students are, and I am not ready to leave them just yet!!
Thanks for reading, prospective students, and best of luck to those of you who are in the process of deciding where to spend your next four years!!
