Congressman John M. Mchugh Receives Clarkson's Bertrand H. Snell Award
[A photograph of Congressman McHugh receiving the Bertrand H. Snell Award is available at http://www.clarkson.edu/news/photos/snell2005.jpg]
John M. McHugh, Republican Congressman from the 23rd District, was the recipient of Clarkson's highest award for community service, the Bertrand H. Snell Award, at a special dinner held on the University's campus Saturday evening.
Created in 1981, the award honors the memory of Bertrand H. Snell, a North Country businessman and Congressman, and assures the remembrance of his generous contributions to the University. Selection for the award is based on outstanding achievement in professional, business or educational endeavors, combined with an integrity and community concern to which others can aspire.
Clarkson President Tony Collins told the group assembled, "Congressman McHugh could have chosen a career in business that would have undoubtedly landed him on Wall Street because the Congressman get things done and succeeds, where others may falter. But to our great good fortune, John McHugh picked public service as his life's work."
The award was presented to McHugh by Clarkson University Chair of the Board of Trustees, Jack Welch. The board was unanimous in their praise of McHugh as a legislator who gets things done for his constituents and the North Country.
In receiving the Snell award, McHugh proclaimed his great pride. "I am profoundly humbled to receive the Snell award, joining the previous eight recipients who had done so much for so many in the North Country. As Congressman Snell himself did so well in the early 20th Century, I have worked hard to represent our interests in Washington and Albany for more than 20 years. I thank Clarkson University for bestowing this honor upon me," said McHugh.
McHugh is embraced by the dairy farming community because of his legislative efforts in getting the option 1-A pricing system enacted, which provides fairer and more stable prices for farmers' milk. His role as a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee also makes him vital to the future of Fort Drum. This legislative group will determine which military bases will be affected in the latest closure and realignment rounds. McHugh also chairs the Committee's Subcommittee on Military Personnel, which oversees more than $70 billion in federal defense spending related to personnel issues and $15 million in health benefits.
As a state senator, McHugh secured bipartisan support for the design and construction of Bertrand H. Snell Hall, the largest academic building on the Clarkson campus. He has also encouraged Clarkson's participation in Department of Defense research programs, especially in advanced material processing, a discipline where Clarkson enjoys a worldwide reputation.
Making the federal government less intrusive and cutting taxes have been hallmarks of McHugh's 30 years of public service. He represents 11 counties making up the 23rd District in the House of Representatives.
The man the award remembers, Bertrand Snell, was born in 1870, in Colton, New York. He was a successful entrepreneur, political leader, and philanthropist. Snell founded the Raquette River Paper Company in Potsdam and the Snell Power Company at Higley Falls. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1914 and served for 23 years. Snell served as a Clarkson trustee for 47 years, including 25 as chairman of the board. He supported Clarkson generously throughout his life and his family has continued to support the University with their resources and energies. Helen Snell Cheel, Bertrand Snell's daughter's generous support helped make construction possible of both the Cheel Campus Center and Arena and the Bertrand H. Snell academic building. When Mrs. Cheel died in March of this year, she bequeathed $27 million to Clarkson. Bertrand Snell's grandson, Hollis Petersen, is a Clarkson Trustee.
The award is a five-inch, cast-bronze medallion, revolving in a bronze ring and set on a polished block of Potsdam Sandstone. A likeness of Bertrand Snell is cast on the obverse side with the words "achievement, integrity and community concern" displayed on the reverse. Collins reminded the audience that the award had only been given out eight times previously. "This is the first time the Bertrand H. Snell Award has been given during my presidency, and I can think of no person who deserves such an earned award more."PHOTO CAPTION: Congressman John M. McHugh(C) was awarded the Bertrand H. Snell Award by Clarkson University President Tony Collins (L) and University Board of Trustees Chair, Jack Welch. The award recognizes individuals of outstanding merit, and honors the memory of Bertrand Snell, an industrialist, Congressman and Clarkson benefactor.

AKA Lexi Frost
NOOK Book(eBook)
Lexi Frost is a successful photographer in a specialty niche: tasteful nudes. All she wants is continuing success and to keep her private life private. She didn't want to attract the attention of millionaire Paul Lovett. And she really didn't need rock star Flynn Peterson to fall for her during a photo-shoot either. Both are persistent but Lexi isn't interested, in part because she isn't Lexi Frost.
Teri Giles has a successful career, two teenagers, and their four friends. Okay, maybe having six teenagers in the house isn't ideal. And her son's basement band makes her buy aspirin in economy-size bottles, but she makes it work. Trying to hide an alternate identity and career from a house full of teens is a little chancy, so Teri was ready to scream before attracting unwanted attention.
Then her worst fear is realized: her cover is blown. In a split-second decision, she takes a chance on one of her suitors after swearing she wouldn't love again. But Teri isn't the only one who's been keeping secrets…
• **This book is for adults. I don't fade out on love scenes. Like other romances, there are complications that arise that keep the characters apart and hard decisions that make them think about more than just themselves. In The Lexi Frost Series, those complications are slightly atypical of romance novels, but not outside the realm of possibility in today's world.***

About the Author
Tori Brooks grew up in the Pacific Northwest, moving every few years throughout her childhood. Eventually she got tired of temporary friendships and spent her spare time reading instead. At about eleven-years-old, she started writing short stories. She continued writing in her spare time until college when, between full-time school, full-time work, and the occasional date, she didn't have any more time for writing. In 2008, Tori returned to writing and finished her first novel. She wrote a third of that novel on her smartphone during lunches and breaks at work. It took a while before Tori considered her writing to be anything more than a hobby, but by then she had finished a few books. Writing taught her to appreciate the mischief her teenagers stir up, that the characters in her head fight back, and that she misses Seattle. Life is still teaching her that her children will grow out of it, and she can visit Seattle occasionally. She's still looking for a solution on how to deal with her characters. Maybe she should stop fighting them; these are their stories after all.

A. You can't. No good will come of your broaching the delicate topic. That's a job for your husband, who will sound much less accusatory than a protective, sensitive daughter-in-law.
But before you send your husband off for that potentially awkward sit-down, recognize that while it would be great if your in-laws were lovey-dovey with their stepgrand, it's not all that weird that they're not. After all, loving and accepting someone who doesn't have blood ties can be tough for some people, even if said someone is a child. For sure, my dad is nice to Nick's son, Mazi, and talks to him about school and football and topics to which both of them can relate, but when it comes to Mari and Lila? They get the special grandchildren treatment -- rides on the knee, walks to the park, trips to the ice cream store, little gifts just for being. Nick and Mazi understand it and accept that it is what it is.
Bear in mind that your oldest has other grandparents -- your folks and his father's -- so your husband's parents might be worried that it's not quite their place to dote.
Now, if your in-laws are downright mean to your firstborn, then by all means a talk should be had. But if they're just less effusive, and your son has other grandparents to spoil him, leave it alone.

Feb. 27, 2000
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Due to unfavorable weather conditions in Tallahassee, Fla., the match scheduled for February 27, 2000 at 12:00p.m. against the #45th-ranked Florida State Seminoles and the #29th-ranked University of Miami Hurricanes has been postponed to a later date. Travel arrangements for the Hurricanes limited their stay in Tallahassee, therefore the match will be rescheduled.
A large crowd was expected for Sunday's match due to the rivalry between two of the top schools in Florida. Florida State was entering the match with an 8-1 record on the season, with six matches won at home, one won on the road and one lost on the road. The loss on the road came against the #16th-ranked Texas Christian University. The University of Miami has won five matches at home and two on the road.

In your first year, you will work closely with your marketing colleagues, tutors and industry practitioners to learn new insights and develop your professional approach to digital marketing and advertising projects.
You'll learn how brands are built, how they reach their audiences and how you can add value and shared experiences to these through strategic and creative user journeys that optimise digital media channels and returns on investment.
In the summer semester, you will join forces with your Digital Art, Video Games Development and Film Promotion colleagues to put your learning into practice. You'll be working on 'live' briefs with top agencies, industry partners and clients like the BBC or Sony to deliver real projects that prove your proficiency in the digital marketing sector.
In your second year, you will consolidate your own digital marketing expertise through professional practice placements and your own, self-defined Final Major Project. In this, you will choose to write a dissertation or produce a practiced-based portfolio of work that is employment-led. This is all about your choices and your professional development.
So far, Digital Marketing students have used this final project to work on a national advertising campaign for the government through the UK's most successful advertising agency AMV, international movie channel launches with branding agency Red Bee Media and automotive launches with digital agency MediaCom.

For successful graduates there is a natural progression from BA Digital Marketing to MA and MSc Future Media: Pro, which is a one year accelerated masters degree focused on exploiting digital media and marketing opportunities through emerging technologies and advertising agency techniques. Students taking this option can gain an undergraduate and postgraduate degree within 3 years.
Alternatively, Birmingham School of Media at Birmingham City University offers a wide range of MA courses, allowing you to specialise in such areas as online journalism, social media, photography, public relations, television or event management.
Details can be found on the postgraduate section of the website.
Workplace simulations, placement activities and industry standard projects are all key pillars in the course content. In addition you'll be working closely with professional practitioners, top agencies and prestigious clients to develop and deliver your assignments.
There are visiting specialist lecturers, Honorary Fellows and industry experts who you'll meet on field trips or in class and these professionals frequently work with you and your fellow students as mentors.
Towards the end of your studies you'll complete a final major project and this may lead you to working directly with a client. This direct professional contact will give you the experience, confidence and freedom to put into action all you've learned during your studies. It will also give you a proven track record of professional placement activity and a portfolio of work to showcase your abilities.
On top of this course specific experience you'll gain, the University has introduced the BCU Graduate+ programme, which is an extra-curricular awards framework that is designed to augment the subject-based skills that you develop through your programme with broader employability skills and techniques that will enhance your employment options when you leave university. The key components of the award are:
Allied with this course-specific experience you will also have access to a range of support staff and services from the University's careers service, who can help with:
Placement activities on the course range from the collaborations you share with our industry partners in your assignments to actually working for clients that the University introduces you to as part of the programme.
In your assignments, you'll find yourself taking various briefs from your tutors, clients looking after brands, and agency strategists and planners who run prestigious accounts. You'll be taught how to use the tools of the trade and expected to deliver your work to industry standards. Sometimes your placement activities will take the form of a brief only and at other times you may find yourself on projects where you are heavily involved with your client and hold regular milestone reviews of your progress.
By the end of your second year you are able to demonstrate professional proficiency and channel this into your Final Major Project. This is where most of our students develop employment-orientated relationships with the mentors of their choice. It's these kind of relationships that build valuable professional contacts, promote networking across the industry and often lead to internships and eventually jobs for our students. You will be encouraged to engage with industry professionals throughout the programme and your tutors will make every effort to introduce you to contacts across the digital marketing and advertising and sector.
An awesome experiential event and showcase for student work, attended by VIPs from the digital games, advertising and art industries.
OpportUNIty: Student Jobs on Campus ensures that our students are given a first opportunity to fill many part-time temporary positions within the University. This allows you to work while you study with us, fitting the job around your course commitments. By taking part in the scheme, you will gain valuable experiences and employability skills, enhancing your prospects in the job market.
It will also allow you to become more involved in University life by delivering, leading and supporting many aspects of the learning experience, from administration to research and mentoring roles.
Through our courses we give you the skills and experience needed to get a head start when applying for jobs. But we offer something extra too – Graduate+.
Our unique programme gives you the chance to develop valuable skills outside of the more formal classroom learning. We award points for Graduate+ activities (including firewalking!) and these can be put towards a final Graduate+ award.
In addition to delivering specialist lectures and hosting field trips our industry partners get involved in structuring your course, updating the content as the digital landscape evolves and helping to frame your assignment briefs.
These partnerships include some very prestigious industry players and you should take time to explore what it is that they do in this highly creative environment of innovation and communication:

Okra, corn and black beans blend together beautifully in this hearty gumbo. The garden brown sauce is easily doubled, keeps well and can also be used as a base for enchiladas, curries and eggplant cacciatore. This recipe comes to us from our friends at myrecipes.com.
Serves 6
For the garden brown sauce:
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup onion, chopped
- ½ cup carrot, chopped
- ½ cup celery, chopped
- ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, halved
- 1/8 cup tomato paste
- 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup dry red wine
- 3 cups water
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 bay leaves
To complete the zesty bean gumbo:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup fresh or frozen okra, sliced
- 1 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 cup celery, diced
- 1 teaspoon filé powder*
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups garden brown sauce
- 1 cup tomato juice
- 1/2 cup frozen whole-kernel corn, thawed
- 1 15-ounce can low sodium black beans, drained

Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and carrot and sauté for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
Add celery, mushrooms and garlic to the pan and cook for 10 minutes more.

Strain the mixture through a sieve into a bowl, reserving stock. Discard solids.
Garden brown sauce will store in an airtight container for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.

Judge strikes down City Council's prevailing wage law
By Laura Shin
Published : August 06, 2013
A State Supreme Court judge ruled in favor of the Bloomberg administration Monday, striking down the prevailing wage law passed by the City Council last year.
The law would have required businesses that receive at least $1 million from the city to pay workers at a rate higher than the state's minimum wage.
The state judge ruled on Monday that the law is invalid because it was preempted by the state's minimum wage law.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg had vetoed the legislation, saying it would drive businesses away from the city, but the Council overrode his veto.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn's office released a statement Monday night that said, "We disagree with the judge's decision and will take appropriate legal steps to have it overturned."

On Feb. 27, gunshot damage was discovered on a synagogue in Evansville, Indiana. The shot had been fired through a classroom window of Temple Adath B'Nai Israel. No one was hurt.
It was, nonetheless, a hate crime — even if it's not recognized as such by authorities, The Huffington Post reports.
"In light of recent events around the country, the possibility of this being a hate crime is something we are keeping on the table, but at this point we have not collected enough information to classify it as a hate crime," Sgt. Jason Cullum of the Evansville Police Department said to The Huffington Post.
Rabbi Gary Mazo of Temple Adath B'Nai Israel, however, disagrees.
"I believe it's in response to the climate in our country right now. It comes in response to the rhetoric that comes from the top," he told the publication. "It's sickening, it's upsetting, and I do believe it's an act of hate."
He said he thinks the perpetrator's main goal was to inspire terror.
"This is an individual just trying to make us afraid," Mazo said. "Somebody could have inflicted way more damage, but their goal is to instill fear. We stand up to fear. We do that as a community and as a religion."
The temple recently posted about the incident and the subsequent outpouring of support to their Facebook page:
The post reads,
"We have been absolutely overwhelmed with messages of love and support over the past day and a half. From Facebook, to Twitter, to a personal visit by our great mayor to drop in visits by dear clergy friends and phone calls from our Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu and atheist friends.
So many have asked "what can we do?" There have been suggestions for rallies, vigils, protests, volunteers to patrol our property and to pay for the damage. Thank you, thank you and thank you for all the support and willingness to help.
I have been trying to preach - and all of our religious traditions teach- that we respond to hate with love. So, to that end I would invite our TABI community, our Interfaith partners and our friends in this community to join us for an uplifting Shabbat worship service this Friday night. It is our monthly "Shabbat Rocks" service with our kippah groovin band and we will have a musical Shabbat focused on love, unity and hope. 7:00 PM at TABI. I hope you can join us."

I have a big wedding cake coming up that is going to be covered in all red and black fondant. I don't normally use satin ice because its so expensive for me but I need pre-colored black and red fondant. I'm looking to get around 15-20lbs of each color. So my question is, if you buy your fondant (particularly satin ice) online, where do you shop? Around how much does it normally cost you in products and shipping?

Blake Lively attended the 2014 CFDA Fashion Awards held at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center on Monday in New York City. She wore a mossy green sleeveless mini dress covered in pink confetti-like flower appliqué with a scalloped hem by Michael Kors from the Resort 2015 collection.
She ran with the '60s mod feel of the dress by adding a thick blush satin headband, pink suede Casadei platform pumps, plus large diamond hoop earrings and diamond encrusted natural wood bangles by Lorraine Schwartz.
Considering it was a fashion fête, you can't blame her for trying, but she went too far with the accessories. I wish Blake ditched the OTT jewels and opted for a complementary single sole sandal.
Shoes She Should Have Worn: (based on Blake loosing the jewels)
Sophia Webster mixed media Alicia t-strap sandals
These playful shoes are my spiciest choice featuring mirrored rose gold leather with fluorescent embroidery and yellow leather-trimmed insole.
Aperlaï Simple D ankle-strap sandals in pale pink leather
This is my favorite selection and the most complementary sandal embellished with a Swarovski crystal-studded toe strap plus caviar-beaded heel.
Aperlaï Liberty Rivets sandals in pink leather & transparent PVC
Aperlaï has a truly fabulous spring collection filled with red carpet ready shoes including these cutout sandals adorned with micro studded panels of clear PVC.
Christian Louboutin Aqueduchesse sandals in glitter-coated leather
We know Blake has M.Louboutin on speed dial and could get her hands on these brand new sexy lace-up sandals.
Rupert Sanderson Corona strappy sandals
They're from the Spring 2014 Antonio Berardi collaboration in a beautiful mirrored apricot leather with a ribbon candy inspired toe strap – total statement makers!
Giannico Cosmopolitan t-strap sandals
Once again, Giannico is the wild card. Assuming her clunky jewels are out of the picture, the smooth pale pink leather combined with the yellow spiral adds a bit of finesse and fun.
Which pair do you like for Blake? Check out more Shoes She Should Have Worn posts.

"Gaping Arseholes" And "20-Foot Schlongs": Australia Debated Porn Last Night And It Was Magnificent
Welcome to ABC2's 2Sexy week: a glorious seven days in which our national broadcaster is delving into the legal, ethical and interpersonal complexities of the Australian sex industry and straight-up asking people how much they wank.
You likely know a little about this already. Triple J's Tom Tilley has been creepily hounding you about what kind of porn you watch every time you jump into the car. A promo clip has been doing the rounds which is almost entirely comprised of close-up shots of his smile and the word SEX in giant pink neon type.
But last night, this gloriously shameless celebration and interrogation of sex had its first official climax in Australians On Porn: a 70-minute debate on the pros and cons of pornography, hosted by Tilley and fearlessly broadcast live to the nation. It was just as eventful as it sounds.
20 minutes into #ausporn and chill and @TomTilley gives you this look. pic.twitter.com/YLzIYRWGgn

Slotted straight after a powerful and decidedly sombre Australian documentary on the harms of revenge porn, this unprecedented program was an all-in bacchanalian feast of outrage, terror and lust. While discussion consistently swirled around complex and important topics such as exploitation, sex education, and violence against women, the whole thing was made decidedly unruly by the fact the wonderfully diverse panel seemed to actively despise one another.
Here's a little of what you missed:
The Players
Brendan Maclean: musician, actor and the self-described "token gay". Brendan was proudly representing the Men Who Enjoy Jerking It To Fun Consensual Queer Porn. He wore a magnificent earring, compared watching porn to eating KFC, and at one point screamed at an anti-porn activist while rocking back and forth on the couch with his head in his hands.

A bearded man who watches porn: I mean, what a guy. He has no problems with porn, he watches a lot of it, and he would like the whole nation to know that. This was his sole purpose during the debate, and at one point they played a clip of him touching himself.
What in living fuck is on television right now pic.twitter.com/AY4eLhEVpX

A man with a terrible porn addiction: On the other side of things, there's this poor fella. He suspects his addiction started when his dad came out as gay in his adolescence and he wanted to prove his "manliness". Since then he's struggled disengaging from it and the constant friction causes him to occasionally bleed from his penis.
Laura Pintur: anti-porn campaigner. Laura is a member of feminist group Collective Shout and was also behind the petition to get Zoo Weekly off the shelves at Coles and Woolworths. She argues that porn consistently promotes violence and against women and skewers young boys' understanding of sex. As this is the sole point she seemed willing to talk about, at one point she was outnumbered five-to-one in the most cringe-inducing grilling since Joe Hockey was last on Q&A.
Melinda Tankard-Reist: an infamous anti-porn campaigner and leader of Collective Shout. Like Pintur, MTR is concerned with what she sees as a common thread of violence in pornography and to make this point she regularly screams phrases like "HUMAN TOILET BOWL DOT COM", "VIOLENT PENETRATION" and "GAPING ARSEHOLES" with little to no context.
She continued doing this while Tilley was trying to wrap up the show which reduced him to stammering, "Are you really going to talk over me? Are you? Okay."
Lucy Bee: porn actor. While acknowledging negative aspects of her industry, Lucy defended the positive side of porn and the ways it can be used in a healthy sex life. She also called for more sex ed in schools to help young people better understand sex and pleasure, and willingly stepped up as MTR's main foe for the evening.
David Hollier: a counsellor who has specialised in helping those with porn addiction. David is a very measured and empathetic voice in this whole debate. For this reason, he's often spoken or yelled over.
Jacqueline Hellyer: a sexologist who is all about healthy relationships. She thinks porn has its positive and negative sides just like anything else, and also advocates for better sex ed in schools.

A Christian couple who have an issue with porn: After waiting until marriage to have sex, this woman found out her husband had been watching porn and kicked him out of the house. They view porn as a break in their own monogamous intimacy and manage to look slightly paler each time someone brings up BDSM.
A couple who love porn: Much like old mate beard-o, these guys were around to mellow things out a little. They find that watching porn together stimulates their own sexual intimacy and generally refute arguments from the Collective Shout ladies with statements like "…Yeah, but porn's pretty good though".
At one point, while laying topless in bed with his girlfriend, the dude offered this stellar insight:
"My schlong's not like, twenty foot long" quote of the night #ausporn
— Love Actually Fan (@JennaGuillaume) December 7, 2015
The Issues And Solutions Going Forward
The conversations between all these incredibly different people jumped between the nature of addiction, the origins of sexual violence, the need for a better formal sex education, the problems of exploitation in the industry and the defining features of sexual intimacy in the digital age. Should there be better censorship or prohibition of pornographic material online? How exactly does porn affect our real-life relationships? Should it be within any one body's purview to decide what types of sexual expression are acceptable and which are not?
There are no easy answers. Nothing was ever going to get solved in 70 minutes. However, some important advances were undeniably made.
For starters, the fact that this happened at all is completely great. Though it could have made for some extraordinarily uncomfortable viewing, people all across the country likely stumbled across this show and left it on "for laughs". That makes it an in for parents to subtly address sex with their teenage kids; for friends to trade stories they likely would have been too embarrassed to talk about; and a catalyst for couples to more openly discuss their sexuality.
This openness is important. It can give people the confidence to speak frankly with their partners about what they want in bed. It removes stigma from behaviours and practices which have previously been shamed or fetishised, which can have a positive impact on people's mental health. It can let a young queer or questioning kid know that they're not alone; that sex and sexuality is negotiated and expressed in myriad ways.
Of course, an hour-long scream-a-thon may not be the best way to get those things across. It takes some reading between the lines. However, much of the topics they raised will be later dissected in other ways. Tonight ABC2 are airing a BBC doco interrogating the way young people use the internet for sex and porn, as well as a Four Corners report on escorts. Tomorrow, local filmmaker Maddie Parry is diving into the world of Australian brothels and there are accompanying films and docos on stripping and sex work from around the world.
This is all part of an evolving and complex conversation. Maybe you need someone to get up and inadvisably yell "GAPING ARSEHOLES" to finally get people talking.

There are decisions and questions that by virtue of their difficulty one might put aside to be dealt with on another day. Then there are those dilemmas which one tends to put on the back burner, not because they are hard to unravel, but because of the fear of having to face up to the implications of any conclusions arrived at from analyses of the dilemma.
Most bloggers will have suffered from mild symptoms of blogyndrome, when one begins to question the value, usefulness and indeed validity of one's blogging activity. The usual remedy at the early stage of the syndrome is to push the questions to the 'back of the head.' Those who pay a little more attention to the emerging malaise soon find that the syndrome is not such an easy one to deal with and cure.
There is, however a limit as to how long one can go on putting off facing up to the inevitable question of one's blogging activity and dealing with the fallout from such an encounter. So how does one face up to and deal with the question that will not go away - to blog or not blog? To answer this question the starting point I think has to be gaining an understanding of the reasons why we started, and why we have been blogging up to now. This introspection naturally has to include a look at what benefits we have gained through our blogging activity, be it social, monetary, emotional, or therapeutic.
To succeed in this self-examination exercise it is necessary to be honest with oneself and to not be afraid to lay bare the true motives for embarking on the blogging path. Although most unlikely, it is entirely possible that it may transpire that one has been foolishly wasting hour upon hour of one's time with little or no benefit to oneself or others.
It is only fair having pontificated on the blogging question, I come clean whether I have faced up to this question. Clearly not, as the few infrequent visitors to my blog will have observed. Not a squeal, though mind you, I have on occasions in my comments, referred to the nagging question ("…the question of whether to blog or not blog will simply not go away. So I may abstain for a while...."). So the best I can claim is that I have let the question around blogging simmer on the burner, with my fingers getting singed because I haven't paid attention.
So what was the decision, after all the simmering and bubbling? To put it simply, there was no decision. In retrospect, this clever ruse by me to abstain for a while slowly, but surely extricated me from the blogosphere. Though it is not a course I would necessarily recommend to other bloggers, for it leaves a sour taste in one's mouth. And let's face it, who am I to pontificate?
It would be remiss of me if I failed to mention the other side of the coin, namely that one's motive for blogging may be altogether noble and commendable, such as sharing useful information, and promoting something one believes in. I guess the bottom line is the blog is here to stay, a tool that is still evolving in the way it is used and in the function it performs. Maybe one should not become too wedged in the groove of the blogging question while the birds still soar freely in the open blue skies.

Many of our customers are interested in coloring grout, stucco, plaster and mortar but have a difficult time finding the right colors, especially blues, and small enough quantities. Direct Colors General Manager, Shawna Turner, is here to talk more about calculating for and mixing custom colors in these materials. Welcome Shawna.
Amie Nolen: Calculating pigment for so many different cement-based mixes sounds complicated. Is it?
Shawna Turner: It definitely can be. The difficult part is the fact that very few manufacturers report the product contents on the side of the bag. Usually the technical data sheet will include the amount of cement in the mix but that' s not always available so we often are forced to make an educated guess that many vary somewhat from product to product.
AN: Why is the amount of cement in the mix so important for getting the color right?
ST: Concrete pigment creates color by coating the cement particles with color so other ingredients are a less important part of the color equation. The pigment needed to achieve a specific color from our color charts is based on the amount of cement only rather than the total weight of the mix. Each mix is comprised of a 3:1 ratio of sand to cement and/or lime. If lime is also added to the mix, the cement and lime should be added together for the purposes of calculating pigment load. Whether you are mixing your own material or using a pre-bagged product, having this basic information can help you to determine how much pigment you need for a project. Because grout, stucco, plaster and mortar are cement, sand and possibly lime mixes containing no aggregate, colors can appear somewhat different in fact than they are on color charts. Testing is incredibly important when working with these materials and will help avoid mistakes.
AN: There are several concrete calculators on the website. Which calculator should a customer use for these mixes as opposed to concrete?
ST: The calculator most useful for coloring grout, stucco, mortar and plaster is called the Custom Batch Calculator. The Custom Batch Calculator requires two pieces of information – the weight of cement and/or lime in your mix and the pound rating for the color chosen from our concrete pigment color chart. We recommend calculating both for batch size as well as the overall project. For example, if you planned to use one 80lb. bag of stucco mix and wanted to integrally color the stucco to Cornflower. You'd enter 20 lbs. for the cement/lime content and a "1" for the pound rating to calculate the amount of pigment needed for the project which is just under a quarter of a pound (.21 lbs.) per bag.
If you're calculating for a sample, the pound output from the calculator is likely to be unhelpful so we've provided a link to other calculation options at the bottom of the page. For example, say you have about 5 lbs. of cement/lime in your mix and the amount of pigment needed for the chosen color, Royal Blue, is 0.1595 lbs. 0.1595 lbs. is a difficult number to work with so converting lbs. to teaspoons for such a small batch is very useful. Using a conversion website easily found with a search engine, we'll need 15 teaspoons to achieve Royal Blue in 5 lbs. of white Portland mix. Calculating from lbs. to grams is also a good option. Gram scales provide more exact measurements, especially when measuring small amounts, and can be used for any small or medium sized project.
AN: What about sealing? Is it necessary in all instances?
Outdoor stucco applications should be sealed with an acrylic or penetrating densifier sealer to protect the color integrity from the elements. Some customers prefer a light shine and the easy application our Sprayable Satin Finish Sealer offers, especially for stucco projects. Our DCI Penetrating Lithium Sealer Hardener has a matte finish is perfect for grout projects where gloss isn't all that desirable. This sealer enhances overall concrete durability and is a one-time application which is super. Sealing for interior projects isn't necessary but acrylic sealers will deepen color appearance and add some gloss.
Thanks for making pigment calculations for grout, stucco, mortar and plaster mixes easier to understand.

As part of President Obama's planned executive action on immigration, which was announced on November 20, 2014, the U.S. Department of State ("DOS") has unveiled a new process for determining immigrant visa availability. This change, which goes into effect October 1, 2015, impacts when foreign nationals with an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Visa Petition, may file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, Application ("Green Card Application") with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS").
Currently, the DOS publishes one monthly Visa Bulletin that determines when foreign nationals may file and when USCIS may approve their Green Card Applications. The Visa Bulletin is divided into multiple employment-based ("EB") preference categories and sub-categories based on a foreign national's country of birth. When the foreign national's priority date – or the date their PERM Labor Certification or I-140 petition was filed with the U.S. Department of Labor and/or USCIS – is "current", meaning that the foreign national's priority date falls before the cut-off date listed on the Visa Bulletin for their EB preference category and sub-category, the foreign national can file their Green Card Application with USCIS and USCIS can approve such application.
The DOS will now issue two Visa Bulletins monthly – one will control when USCIS can approve the I-485 application ("Approval Bulletin"), and one will control when a foreign national can file a Green Card Application with USCIS ("Filing Bulletin.") A foreign national may file a Green Card Application when their priority date is current on the Filing Bulletin. While USCIS will not approve the Green Card Application until the foreign national's priority date is current on the Approval Bulletin, he or she will obtain the benefits of having a pending I-485 application while waiting for their priority date to become current on the Approval Bulletin. These benefits include employment and travel authorization as well as increased job portability.
This modification to the Visa Bulletin may significantly impact employers of foreign nationals who previously faced long delays before being able to file Green Card Applications on behalf of their employees. The new two Visa Bulletin system will become effective October 1. Employers should plan accordingly in advance of this implementation date to ensure that eligible employees are able to file Green Card Applications. A link to the new Visa Bulletins and additional information can be found at: http://travel.state.gov/content/visas/english/law-and-policy/bulletin.html.

The Bucs should be 3-1 right now, but not because Marcus Pollard might have caught a touchdown. Anytime Griese turns the ball over four times and the defense lets Joey Harrington drive on them at the end of the game, the Bucs should lose the game.
But Lions fans, do not blame the loss on the refs. That was clearly not a touchdown.
The ball was still moving while Pollard was in bounds, and the ball did not stop moving until his knee was out of bounds. Exhibit A, notice where the ball is located, high on the arm (about at the wrist).
In this next picture the ball is lower in Pollard's arm, at about elbow level.
In this last picture, the ball is cradled between Pollard's elbow, hand and body. In the first picture the ball has not yet stopped at Pollard's elbow.
The Lions organization, according to ESPN, has tried to argue that there was not enough refutable evidence to overturn the touchdown call on the field. To be clear, the Lions are not asking the NFL to give them a win, they are simply complaining about the officiating in the game.
If you watch the play in slow motion it should be obvious that Pollard did not have control of the ball while he was in bounds. Lions head coach Steve Mariucci believes that Pollard made the catch with his hands before he went out of bounds. But after the ball hits Pollard in the hands it slides down his left arm before it stops when it is held against his body.
I honestly wish I could find video of this play that would make it clear this was a non-catch.
And one last complaint directed against Bucs fans. Don't bring up the Bert Emanuel catch versus the Rams in the NFC Championship Game. That was most likely a catch, and any comparison between the two plays implies that the refs made a bad call yesterday.
