Oh Yeah!Monday, August 25th, 2008
Well, I told you guys some stuff had happened during our time apart and here is one of the biggest things that occurred…
Applause please!! Yes, yes, Baby Boy and The Kid finally tied the knot and we could not be happier! I would say she is pretty happy too. What do you think? They are amazing together and Aunt Deb wholeheartedly approves.
Hey Ya'llSaturday, August 23rd, 2008
Hello, Children of The Bone! Yes my lovelies, it is really me. I know it seems as if I had buried The Bone and forgotten where I put it but, rest assured, such is not the case. I meant to take only a short break which somehow became an extended hiatus. My apologies.
Still, I have returned…hopefully a bit refreshed and better able to handle my time management skills. Things at Smurf Village have been outrageously busy for my office with our new Papa Smurf on board and, by the time my chocked – full day is over, I am absolutely beat and not wanting to do much more than collapse on the couch and try to watch my soapies on TiVo (usually through closed eyes).
Don't misunderstand me here now. Papa Smurf is wonderful and I love the things he is doing even if it does keep me and my Smurf suit hopping. All of this is a good thing and I will get you folks and the rest of my Bonecollecting into the swing of my new routine. Just bear with me, please.
Now, a lot has happened during our time apart and, I want to share, but obviously not all of it at once. So, I'll be throwing stuff out here and there that I've been up to, seen, heard, or thought about. Check back…it should be interesting!

In the past decade, distance education - especially adult education - has grown by leaps and bounds. While at one time many believed an education online to be fraudulent, online education is now a feasible way for working adults to get a certificate or degree. Those with access to a computer can pursue the adult education they desire.
Not too long ago, adult education was limited to traditional brick and mortar institutions, which often lack flexible hours. As a result, many adults were not getting the education they desired. Now, adults are able to get an education from the convenience of their homes at a time that fits their schedule, all thanks to the internet.
Originally limited in variety, new online adult education programs are being developed almost every day. As they grow in popularity, these programs provide a whole new world of opportunity for adult learners via the internet. Adult learners can now pursue an education on their terms, at their convenience; they can participate in group discussions via email and instant messenger services and quickly complete projects.
Many schools offer online education for adults. Some well-known universities offer these programs, often combining the online module with a lab module that may be required and call for limited on-campus time. Many private institutions and community colleges offer online programs for adults that are strictly internet-based and now, many universities themselves are internet-based, with no physical classrooms anywhere.
Many online programs for adults allow the student to work at their own pace, taking as long or as little time is needed to complete the classes. Such classes are often continuing education oriented. Online certificate and degree programs for adults, much like traditional programs, typically have a controlled curriculum with deadlines for coursework, regular quizzing, midterm and final examinations.
There are several benefits to an adult education online. Students have the freedom to take courses without having to be in a classroom at a specific time. Thanks to technology, adult learners can work towards program completion without putting their lives on hold; they can meet outside obligations and commitments while pursuing an education at their convenience.
More adults than ever are going back to school. The busy lives of working adults once made continuing education seem impossible. Online adult education makes it possible for the working adult to pursue education that may not have been otherwise accessible. Distance education is a way for adults to educate themselves and improve their careers and their lives.
For more information on online education and adult learning, visit our partner websites ContinuingEd.org, OnlineSchools.net, and CareerTraining.org.

Oscar Pistorius Awarded Bail in Murder of Girlfriend
Oscar Pistorius was awarded bail Friday in the case where he's been accused of murdering his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp.
The magistrate in the case announced that bail had been set after a week of testimony. The case has made international headlines after Steenkamp, 29, was shot dead in Pistorius' South Africa home on Valentine's Day. He claimed he mistook her for someone who had broken into the residence, but prosecutors say it was premeditated.
Lawyers for Pistorius said his fame precludes him from being a flight risk and he needed bail in order to effectively prepare for a trial, which is not expected to begin for several months.
If convicted of murder, Pistorius, 26, can be sentenced to life in prison.
Pistorius became an international star after competing in the Olympics last summer, even though he has two prosthetic legs made of carbon fiber.

Captain James Cook (1728 - 1779)
Most famous for his three voyages of Pacific exploration, Cook was one of very few men from the lower classes to rise to senior rank in the Royal Navy. He was killed in the Hawaiian islands during his third Pacific voyage with HMS Resolution and HMS Discovery.
Sir Joseph Banks (1743-1820)
Independently wealthy, Banks studied at Oxford and travelled to North America as a naturalist in 1766. Banks became very influential after the voyage - he was a trustee of the British Museum, ran the botanic garden at Kew, and was President of the Royal Sociey from 1778 until his death. It was on Banks' suggestion that the first Australian penal colony was founded at Botany Bay.
Daniel Solander (1733 - 1782)
A Swedish pupil of Linnaeus, Solander came to Britain in 1760, where he was employed as an assistant at the British Musuem. He was engaged by Banks to sail with the Endeavour, and after the voyage became Banks' assistant and librarian, even declining a professorship at St Petersburg university to remain in London.
Sydney Parkinson (1745 - 1771 )
Born in Scotland, Parkinson came to London in 1766 and was soon after engaged by Banks to work at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where he worked for a year before before joining the Endeavour. One of two on board artists, neither of whom survived the voyage, Parkinson died at sea shortly after leaving Java.

Big news for those of us who are tired of seeing 90-pound models on every page of our fashion magazines.
Vogue has just announced a new Health Initiative-- a pact between 19 of Vogue's international editors-in-chief.
The purpose, according to Vogue.com, is to "encourage a healthier approach to body image within the industry."
What does that mean for readers? Very good things! Read on to find out!
For one thing, the international editors are promising to work with models who are healthy in their view, and promote a healthy body image.
For another, Vogue editors are pledging to become ambassadors who will promote healthy body image.
"Vogue believes that good health is beautiful," Jonathan Newhouse, Condé Nast International chairman, said. "Vogue editors around the world want the magazines to reflect their commitment to the health of the models who appear on the pages and the wellbeing of their readers."
I can't tell you how excited I am to read this news. Paging through fashion magazines has become simply depressing over the last several years, as models have grown thinner and thinner and thinner. I remember a time when models all were a "standard size six." Today, they are all size zero or two.
I have longed for a return to the time when models like Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell, and Linda Evangelista provided us with images of the types of bodies we all aspired to have-- These were women who had muscles and curves and were in the best shape of their lives. So many of the models today just look ... sick. And I don't know about you, but I don't want to see that in my magazines.
I believe that the fact that Vogue is leading the way in this Health Initiative is HUGE, and that other magazine editors will soon fall in line as well.
Once that happens, hopefully, the Hollywood actresses won't be far behind ...
What do you think about Vogue's new Health Initiative? Will it work?

MONTE CARLO (Reuters) - Roger Federer beat an injured Novak Djokovic 7-5 6-2 to set up an all-Swiss Monte Carlo Masters final with Stanislas Wawrinka after the Australian Open champion ousted David Ferrer 6-1 7-6 (3) on Saturday.
Holder Djokovic resisted for one set before pain in his right wrist was just too much to bear for the second-seeded Serb who bowed out on the first match point after one hour 14 minutes.
"It's unfortunate that when you're playing at this level against Roger, big tournament, that you are not able to play your game because something else is taking away all your energy," said Djokovic.
"This injury that has been present for last 10 days, and I tried not to think or talk about it, I did everything I could really, I was on the medications every day, I was doing different therapies, injections."
Djokovic could not specify the exact nature of the injury.
"I had the feeling he was not finishing off his shots with as much top spin as usual," Federer told Canal Plus.
"Even at 90 per cent, Novak is still strong and you still have to take your chances in the key moments and there were some in the first set where I had tough moments."
The much-awaited clash lived up to expectations early on, with 17-times grand slam champion Federer saving two set points on serve at 5-4.
Federer, who has never won the Monte Carlo Masters, broke in the following game and pocketed the set with an ace before Djokovic went to his chair holding his right wrist.
The second set was a stroll for the Swiss who produced a series of forehand winners as he moved 18-16 up in his head-to-head record against Djokovic.
Earlier, third seed Wawrinka showed no mercy against the giant-killing Ferrer.
The Swiss raced through the first set and kept his composure in the second when the Spaniard raised his level.
Sixth seed Ferrer, who knocked out eight-times French Open champion and world number one Rafael Nadal in the quarter-finals on Friday, was on the back foot throughout.
"It was the perfect start for me. I played very well in spite of the wind," Wawrinka told Canal Plus.
"He changed tactics in the second set, being more aggressive, and I became more hesitant but I played tougher then."
Wawrinka quickly opened a 5-0 lead after breaking twice with a passing shot and a forehand return winner.
The Swiss, looking to win his first Masters 1000 title, sealed the opening set with a stunning backhand winner down the line.
Ferrer saved a break point in the opening game of the second set but Wawrinka, whose 31 winners made up for 40 unforced errors, accelerated again in the tiebreak and prevailed on his second match point when his opponent netted a backhand.
Federer is 13-1 against Wawrinka but the world number three's only victory was on the Monte Carlo clay in 2009.
"It will be my first final against a Swiss player since Marseille in 2000 when I lost to Marc Rosset. At the time I was devastated, I thought I would never win a tournament," said Federer.

Built around a compelling multiplayer experience, four players will be able to punch, kick, and nuke their way through the game's comic book environments. Levels include fighting off attackers on the SHIELD Helicarrier, underwater warfare in Atlantis, and a drawn out defensive battle in a metropolis as Galactus threatens to destroy everything in his path, lumbering through city streets like the dreaded Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. The battle with Galactus gave us a good look at what boss battles may resemble, including a button-mashing sequence you'll use to free yourself from the space traveling world devourer's powerful grip. Don't forget to dodge his finger-lasers, either.
There are single player missions that come up even during the multiplayer experience. These comic missions play off of the dichotomy between superhero and supervillain. In these sequences, the other players will be able to take full control of the enemy characters, who will have their own special moves and combo chains, just like the super heroes. The cooperative multiplayer mode isn't so cooperative either, as it's quite competitive, even if you can't attack each other. The way it works is, you'll get experience points for kills, so you're challenged to attack enemies and take them out before your teammates. While teamwork isn't being emphasized, this could lead to plenty of fun, especially online. For those who get along, you'll be able to create your own super team, and even pick a new logo for your custom team, build up its reputation, and earn new team statistics and abilities.
There will undoubtedly be different reasons that players have for playing Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. Rewarding your efforts is an end-game epilogue sequence that shows how the player's decisions affect the Marvel Universe. If you save Atlantis or let it fall into civil war, you'll see how that affects the surrounding world. If you're like me, though, you just want to clobber some villains and check out the neat power effects. We'll have more on Marvel: Ultimate Alliance when we get hands-on!

The state of Oklahoma is blessed with an
abundance of general aviation (GA) airports, providing its citizens with access to destinations
throughout the state, nation and world. In fact, with its 113 publicly owned airports, Oklahoma is ranked #4 in the nation for the number of airports per capita! Whether you are one of the thousands
of recreational flyers who cruise the Oklahoma
skies just for the sheer enjoyment or one of the many businessmen or businesswomen who use
GA aircraft to help shore up the bottom line, you
can rest assured that Oklahoma's airports will get you there!
Importance of General Aviation
General aviation, which can be defined as all aviation
except commercial or military aviation, is a tremendous asset to communities across the state and nation. The majority of GA aircraft is made up of small planes that typically seat two to four passengers, most of which are the single-engine variety sporting one propeller; however, twin-engine planes are quite common as well. Helicopters can also be considered GA aircraft.
Did you know that there are 220,000 GA aircraft in the United States transporting 166 million passengers?
That makes GA the largest "airline" in the country! Cities rely on GA to make their communities
more vibrant and viable in this global economy. No other mode of transportation can get you to your destination faster than GA. In a sense, GA is the closest
thing we have to a true time machine!
Nationally, GA accounts for nearly 1.3 million jobs and has an annual economic impact of $150 billion. In Oklahoma, the aviation and aerospace industry accounts for nearly 144,000 jobs and generates a $12.5 billion impact. GA alone has an estimated $1.2 billion impact in Oklahoma. GA airports provide access
to numerous sectors of your local community, including:
Business & Industry
Emergency Medical Service
Disaster Relief
Fire Fighters and Law Enforcement
Flight Training
TV & Radio (weather & traffic)
The U.S. is blessed with arguably the world's best air transportation system, which is comprised of approximately
5,200 public-use airports that can be directly accessed by GA aircraft. That fact is important considering
that only about 540 airports nationwide have scheduled commercial service, which means that many communities rely heavily on GA to get them to their desired destinations in a fast, safe, flexible and cost-effective manner.
The ABC's of General Aviation Airports
Today, business comes calling on an aircraft, not a bus! Studies have shown that companies that use GA aircraft in their business are more successful on average than those businesses that don't. According to one recent study of companies represented in the S&P 500, those that use GA aircraft were found to outperform nonusers in several important financial measures. But that doesn't necessarily mean that GA aircraft are reserved just for the big boys. In fact, the opposite is true. About 97 percent of business aircraft in the U.S. is operated by a broad cross-section
of organizations, including governments, universities,
charitable organizations and businesses.
Oklahoma's Airport System
As noted previously, Oklahoma is not lacking when it comes to the presence of public airports. Out of the 113 publicly owned airports in the state, 49 are regional business airports; the rest are what are referred to as community and district airports. Typically,
regional business airports are found in larger communities, have more based aircraft and see more takeoffs and landings from various GA aircraft.
A total of 42 of Oklahoma's 49 regional business airports
have runways of at least 5,000 feet in length, the minimum distance needed for most business aircraft to land safely. Airports with jet-capable runways
are valuable assets to business and industry who use aircraft to transact business. When major businesses were asked to rank the top reasons why they chose to locate where they did, convenient access to a commercial service airport and access to a GA airport with a jet-capable runway were among the top location factors identified. Local businesses gain competitive
advantages when they use the nearby airport, while the surrounding community gains jobs.
About 93 percent of Oklahoma's population lives within 25 miles of a regional business airport with a jet-capable runway. That is an important statistic,
especially when you consider that only three airports in the Sooner State -- Oklahoma City's Will Rogers World Airport, Tulsa International Airport and Lawton-Ft. Sill Regional Airport -- provide scheduled passenger service. So it really is true when they say that your local airport is your "gateway to the world!"
Nearly 85 percent of companies using GA aircraft are small and mid-size businesses.
Businesses that strive to be successful in this global marketplace understand the value that aviation has on their bottom line. For them, time is money. That's why so many companies and businesses in Oklahoma
such as Michelin in Ardmore, Seaboard Farms
in Guymon and Tyson Foods in Idabel, just to name
a few, seek the advantages of GA. They want their employees to be able to fly right into their destinations, conduct their business and then return promptly. And that's what general aviation and GA airports afford them. In this ultra competitive environment, it is critical
that companies conduct their business in a safe, reliable and efficient manner. In a nutshell, your local airport means Access, Business, and Convenience. It's as simple as A-B-C!
Today, business comes calling
on an aircraft, not a bus! A general aviation aircraft is the fastest way to get you from point A to point B.
Q The Importance of
Airports To Our

HEMET, Calif., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- Two men were arrested in Hemet, Calif., for allegedly stealing cooking grease from a McDonald's restaurant, police said.
The suspects, identified as Noel Portillo, 22, and Ricardo Robles, 24, were arrested early Friday at the McDonald's, the Riverside (Calif.) Press-Enterprise reported.
Police were tipped off to the alleged heist by the restaurant owner, who said thieves have been targeting restaurants and stealing thousands of dollars worth of cooking grease to resell to recyclers. Recyclers then turn the grease into biodiesel fuel.
The McDonald's owner, whose name was not reported, told police around midnight that he would be waiting inside his restaurant and would call again if the suspects arrived. Around 1:50 a.m. he called police to say the suspects were at the restaurant stealing grease.
When authorities arrived they found Portillo and Robles sitting inside a Dodge Ram with a large metal tank mounted on the bed, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Police reviewed surveillance footage before arresting the pair.

Mats Sundin couldn't have had a Hollywood writer contrive a better story for his homecoming to Toronto for the first and possibly last time as an NHL player. The build-up to the match up at hand were all surrounding the return of The Maple Leafs' prodigal son.
Sundin was welcomed with some mixed reactions when he first stepped foot on the ice of the Air Canada Centre. There was a lot of emotion and tension as Sundin skated prior to the game. Fans and Sundin alike didn't know how to react, didn't know how each other was thinking.
Regardless of what was going through the heads of the patrons of the ACC, the players on the ice on both benches, the one predominant issue of the night was "The Prodigal Mats Returns". For thirteen years, Mats Sundin toiled, succeeded, and endured in a Leafs uniform. For ten of those thirteen years, he was their captain. The tension at the ACC was unbearable until they played the tribute video.
Teary-eyed as he took the faceoff, Mats felt the love of a city that once put all their hockey hopes and dreams on his shoulder. He has come back, with another team, and although he was the enemy, both Mats and Toronto, embraced each other once again.
Last night, was an E-True Toronto Love Story. In his own words, Mats Sundin said, "The ovation from the fans was very special. I'll remember that the rest of my life."
Even with all the hype that surrounded the return of Toronto's once former favourite son, the game itself was entertaining to say the least. The Canucks battled back to a shootout victory with no other than Mats Sundin scoring the shootout winner.
A perfect ending to a perfect homecoming for #13.
Just some musings from the mud.

Dale sighed in frustration as the training match was cut short before changing his skin back to normal. As he looked at the new team member, he had to admit that she didn't look like much. Great, more dead weight.
Fixing Ninja 21 with a glare for brushing him off as some kind of extra, Dale crossed his arms across his chest before moving to stand a few feet behind the ninja playboy.
"So what can you do, anyway?"

I did some research, trying to find a decent quality dog food for the boys. Celena eats raw, but the boys refuse to eat it. I was looking for something better than regular commercial dog foods (yuck), not too expensive (as I'm living on my income only now), and something available within a reasonable driving distance (tired of paying shipping costs for everything).
So I found 4health dog food. Here is what one reviewer said: http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food- ... -food-dry/.
I went yesterday to Tractor Supply Co. in Galesburg (40 min. drive) and picked up a 35# bag for $30 and also picked up some natural and organic treats. I read online that the price is so reasonable because it's made specifically for TSC to sell so there are no middle men. I'm mixing it with their other dog food and so far so good.
Does anyone else on this forum feed 4health to your dogs? What do you think of it?

So, lately it seems more and more we have been accosted by not just off leash dogs (because that in itself is not my issue, appropriate off leash dogs are fine. But they are not appropriate, or not for the most part.
I don't take my dog to offleash dog parks, and the parks I do go to are supposed to have dogs on leash (Last sunday we must have seen about 10-15 dogs on our hike, 2 that I can recall were leashed, though most do listen, somewhat.
Uzi is sensitive, and I am tired of him being exposed to rude dogs. He is already apprenhensive, and this is not making it better.
I was trying to fenangle some kind of idea in my head for a magnetized shake can, so that it doesn't rattle for the rest of our walks.
Any other ideas?
I'm just so freaking sick of it.

Team BBQbyDan (Rick & Karen Streiff, Dan & Barbara Cannon) head out to Twentynine Palms Marine Base to provide support to the California BBQ Association (CBBQA) as well as many volunteers in providing a BBQ dinner to the Marines and their dependents at the Twentynine Palms Marine Base sports field. We will all go out on Friday, arriving in the early afternoon to prep meats, setup smokers, and cook the traditional award winning BBQ faire that we all do so often. All BBQ groups and volunteers are contributing (at no charge) their time, efforts, equipment, and fuels.
Friday evening late afternoon and evening will be dedicated to unwrapping, trimming, and seasoning 350 full size Briskets. That would be 4,662 pounds. Yes, it takes a lot of brisket to feed 18,000 folks. Briskets will come off the cookers early Saturday, go into warmers, then quartered and Buffalo Chopped, then into foil pans, and into the final warmers ready to serve for dinner. Chicken, Hamburgers, and Hot Dogs will also be served. This is the 5th year that Team BBQbyDan has had the privilege of being a part of this great event.
Del King is one of the originators, catalysts, and unbroken link that keeps these events happening. He keeps the Military involved, all the volunteers updated, events planned, and is ready on a moments notice to do an event like this anywhere.

Syringe Testing Fixture for Determining Force Required to Eject Fluid and Medication
A pharmaceuticals manufacturer was required to investigate the forces necessary to eject medications from various types of needles and syringes, and asked for our assistance in determining the best testing system configuration to perform the test. The purpose of this testing was to be able to collect force versus time data, as well as to determine the peak load and load values at specified points of plunger displacement. Other types of results often requested: the peak force (or "break-away force") that marks the force required to begin fluid ejection, and the average force (or "sustaining force") that marks the force required to maintain an even flow of fluid out of the syringe.
Our syringe testing fixture can accommodate a wide variety of syringe sizes. It uses an insert that is machined to match the syringe diameter. Several inserts can be used for a variety of syringe designs. A compression platen is mounted at the crosshead and is used to push the plunger and eject fluid. The fixture is compatible with any of our universal testing systems and Bluehill® Software is capable of both test control, and all results and calculations needed.
Records management compliance with FDA 21 CFR § 11 is non-negotiable for many Medical Device and Pharmaceutical companies. ComplianceBuilder™ is a stand-alone, add-on compliance solution that can be integrated with our Bluehill Software, providing features necessary to meet the latest FDA 21 CFR § 11 regulations.

Starting out as a young adult can be scary and exciting. Job hunting or college is one of the most important decisions you may make. When you start out with a new life, you will most certainly start out with credit. Credit will be low until you begin to purchase items and pay for them. A person does not have any credit if they never purchased anything in their life. College students will be in the same boat but they may have some income coming such as student loans and grants. As long as the loans and grants meet all of their financial needs, the student will remain free from poor credit. How will either of these individuals get a good line of credit or purchase their own house in the future?
The student applies to a college or university. He or she will also fill out a for financial assistance. If their parents are working, the fasa will depend on their income as well. Fasa is a government grant that helps pay for school when you do not have the income to pay. The scholarship committees will meet to see if you qualify for any scholarships. If you do, this helps but may cut down on your grant amount. Student loans are readily available for any student. All that you have to do is apply. Paying back student loans, after school is complete, usually starts about 10 months after graduation.
Personal loans, credit cards, and job income are the way you will pay back your student loans. Personal loans aren't too difficult to get if you have good credit. A bank may loan a small amount with just a signature. Payments are established and all is good. That is if you make your payments on time. If your payments are late, you may have a difficult time applying for other loans later. The late payments will end up dropping the score on your credit reports. The only way to improve your score is to pay off debt and consolidate your credit. Once you begin to make payments on time, your score will increase.
Buying your first home or car can be tricky without a secured bad credit personal loan if you have never started raising your credit score. It is easier to purchase a car or home if you purchase something else first. Purchase something small by using an in store credit card. Make all of your payments on time. Make sure to pay off the loan on time. Keep all of your bills paid on time so your credit rating will increase. While this is not the situation for more people, there are new opportunities to get back on their feet. One such example are financial institutions that offer loans for bad credit individuals. Check out the link to learn how you or someone you know may qualify for future loans.

THERE couldn't really have been more drama, red herrings and further plot thickening if there tried in the week running up to the Dior show today, a year on since Galliano's scandal and the second ready-to-wear show with Bill Gaytten, Galliano's right-hand man and work colleague for 17 years, at the helm.
Yesterday there were rumours that flowers had been sent to Dior HQ for one Haider Ackermann - at one point a contender for the job - and last week the news came that Stefano Pilati had left Yves Saint Laurent and Raf Simons had showed his last Jil Sander collection. Both designers have had their names linked to the infamous Dior job over the last year.
But today there was no sign or signal that Gaytten was going anywhere, merely refining and defining his take on the legendary brand.
"He's doing a really good job. I thought it was ravishing, such lovely colours - the Dior customer would be very happy," said Vogue's Lucinda Chambers, noting it to be very pared down but very feminine. "It was really polished, but gentle," she said.
Gaytten had taken inspiration from Dior's masculine tailoring and combined it with a ballet femininity which took shape through cinched waists to reveal splaying, thickly-pleated skirts beneath in shades from mauve through to red wine and powder pink.
Houndstooth opened the show reworked as embroidery on a burgundy coat to give a nod to this masculinity, while the balletic influences were signalled by the long thick ponytails that ran the length of backs, the little knitted caps and the shoes that cleverly combined the block of a point shoe into a thick sole and heel of a platform, complete with thick ribbon ties and the traditional little bow at the toe.
Draped leather, meanwhile, inserted itself into the backs of belted jackets - here was a tougher edge to the Dior woman's wardrobe. Throughout, Gaytten juxtaposed this hard and soft - with lots of little jackets that took on a new curved silhouette or "rounded femininity" as the show notes said. This term, however, could perhaps also be applied to the new Dior direction - it's more pared down under Gaytten's guidance and is very wearable, it is now a more rounded offering.
Wraparound knits looked poised for warm-ups before dance class, as did simple black long-sleeved tops worn with jewels sparkling from around their necks and a new midi length of tutu skirt, which worked its way into almost every look.
For eveningwear Gaytten's gal looked to old school Dior, back in the days when the man himself was head, and took to the catwalk in reworked structured gowns with sheer skirts that wafted and floated, again maintaining that signature waisted Dior silhouette - one in teal, another in pink and another on the gorgeous Karlie Kloss who closed the show in burgundy.
The rumour mill still rumbles on, but in the meantime Gaytten is going down well.

This is my daughter Rylee dressed as a little elf. I called this one Faerie Kisses because on her cheek there is some light dancing and it looks like little wings. I used some stickles on the diecut butterfly and I broke the pearl flourish in half to stretch it out a bit. I used my favorite Cricut font, Storybook for the title. This particular layout was for their sketch challenge that Beggahuna does. Look to the right under sketches for her blog site. She's fabulous!!
This layout is currently out for publication!!
So here is my sweet Tyler. Look really close because I altered her ears in Photoshop to make her look more like an elf. All of this was made from the kit, except for the knotted ribbon and the branches. I used the wonderful Storybook Cricut cartridge for the branches as well. Then I painted the leaves with green smooch, so they shine. One of my favorite things to do is cut out other pattern paper to create embellishments. I actually cut the entire gate out and used pop dots to bring it forward. Check back really soon for more Swirlydoos goodness :).

A Final Report on JavaOne 2007
May 8th to the 11th (or the 7th if you count CommunityOne Day) in the Moscone center, San Francisco saw this year's JavaOne conference. I will say up front that I love the spectacle of JavaOne and look forward to it every year for many reasons.
JavaOne is, according to Sun Microsystems, the world's single largest developer conference. While I don't know if this is true or not, It certainly is the largest one I have ever been to year after year, and I have no reason to doubt it.
JavaOne means many different things. There are the technical sessions of course - the chance for Java developers and luminaries to share their achievements and breakthroughs with their peers. While these are some of the best technical sessions you will see anywhere, they are only a small part of the overall experience. There are the BoFs (Birds of a Feather) sessions, which are a chance for peer groups with common interests to meet and discuss topics of interest (these are more interesting to me personally, especially after my recent first experience with an Open Space conference earlier this year). There are also Hands On Labs - some supervised and some not, which help you learn applied tools or techniques.
But some of the more interesting features of a conference like JavaOne are not part of the advertising or schedule. It is the concentration, for a week, of many like-minded Java enthusiasts and luminaries. A chance for engineers to engage in some cross between learning, discussion and power networking at an incredible rate. It is a fantastic breeding ground of new ideas, new projects and much more. These activities tend to happen organically, in between technical sessions, over lunch, at the dinner table or during one of the many parties that happen late into the nights.
This year's JavaOne had more energy than the last few years. My speculation is that it is because of a combination of factors - a new Web/.com bubble certainly helps (let's hope it is a little more cautious than last time though), but I also believe that the open sourcing of Java, and the new and increasing focus on community, is a real shot in the arm. Add to that a level of pragmatism that has been absent in previous years (for example, a recognition and acceptance that multiple languages on the JVM, even to the point of supporting them in tools, realization that we can learn from other sources, say .NET and Ruby on Rails, but also that we still have a thing or two to teach them as well, and so on).
Whatever the reason, this year was a fine vintage for JavaOne.
CommunityOne Day
Strictly speaking, this was not a part of JavaOne, but it was a free event on the day before, organized by Sun and taking place in the Moscone center. Couple that with some nice packaging of the event with JavaOne enticements (for example, if you registered for the event you could get a free JavaOne one-day pass for the Tuesday which included technical sessions) and really this could be viewed as a great JavaOne kick-off event.
In previous years, Sun has organized a NetBeans Developer Day on the day before JavaOne, and indeed there was a NetBeans Developer Day rolled in to CommunityOne, but there was a lot more besides. In addition to NetBeans, there were tracks on Glassfish (and Enterprise Java), Open Solaris, Open JDK (including mobile and embedded Java), a RedMonk unconference, web 2.0 and startup camps.
Also previously, these events have taken place in one of the nearby hotels, but this year the event was held in the Moscone itself.
CommunityOne was a great and welcome free bonus, and I hope Sun continues it for next year but I wonder if the expense might be too great for it to be held every year. Perhaps, because Moscone is already booked and being set up for JavaOne, holding it there might keep the costs down. Either way, this is much less of a "sales pitch" than you might think (although make no mistake, Sun products are very much the focus of at least the Sun tracks).
I am the co-host of a podcast called the Java Posse, and the four of us (me and my three compadres: Tor Norbye, Carl Quinn and Joe Nuxoll) were invited to provide the lunchtime entertainment by doing a podcast while people tucked into their box lunches. It was fun to be asked, and we made a few predictions and talked about the news from the week leading up to JavaOne.
The event also featured key Sun personnel heavily, for example Jonathan Schwartz and Rich Green gave a pre-lunch address to the NetBeans crowd, followed by another for the Glassfish track.
If CommunityOne does take place next year, I would encourage people to attend. If you are going to JavaOne, well - what's one extra day before spending the rest of the week at the conference, and if you are not going to JavaOne, it's a free taster for the event, and a chance to do much of the talking and networking that is possible during JavaOne proper.
In the evening of the Monday I headed to the Groovy/Grails party hosted by the No Fluff Just Stuff guys, and with Guillaume Laforge, Graeme Rocher et al. This was a fun event although perhaps a little more eyes-forward than I would have liked. It is good to see that strong progress is still being made in Groovy and Grails (Groovy is getting close to a 1.1 release with new Annotations support, while Grails is warming up for a 1.0 release in the not too distant future).
Tuesday brought the start of the conference proper, and the all-important general session/keynote. The key announcements from this, at least in my opinion, were:
Open Source Java
It was at JavaOne 2006 that the beans were first spilled about Java going open source (actually hints were made at last year's NetBeans day, and confirmed at JavaOne). One year later, and the platform and language have been open sourced as fully as they can be in present form (some small encumbrances still exist - more on that below).
Although this is great and monumental news, it was clear that this was an expected announcement rather than a surprise one. It is easy to overlook the magnitude of the effort which was started just one year ago and has led up to this point, in fact I have read some very negatively spun articles on the subject (along the lines of "finally! one year later..."). I will simply say that in my opinion, this is a tremendous achievement and a contribution to the open source community on a par with the Apache web server, Gnu tools and Linux.
There is a catch though, small parts of the JDK are still not open source, due to remaining intellectual property encumbrances. These include font rendering and some other parts of the Java 2d API. At present, it is necessary to download these parts in binary form to build the rest of the system into a complete and compatible JVM.
These pieces are also a problem that is not so easily solved. Sun engineers working on the Open JDK cannot simply re-write these pieces. They have seen the original code and are hence considered "tainted", for them to write replacements now could be a legal minefield.
This is also a great opportunity for the community to prove its mettle. Volunteers with 2d and font rendering skills, and who have not seen the source code that currently provides this functionality within the JDK, could step up and help provide replacements that are not IP encumbered. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please consider getting involved with this very worthwhile effort at http://openjdk.java.net/.
Another, smaller part of this announcement was also that it is now much easier to actually build your own JVM/JDK. NetBeans projects are available to make building from the source yourself much easier, providing you are using NetBeans (in fact a very recent version of the NetBeans 6 Milestone builds is required). Let's hope we see interest from other IDE supporters as well providing similar build projects for Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA and so on.

SEATTLE, Dec 17 ( Reuters) - United Airlines and Boeing Co confirmed Monday that a second plane in United's fleet of 787 Dreamliners had suffered electrical problems, notching up to three the tally of 787s that have developed electrical issues this month.
The growing number focused further attention on issues with the revolutionary carbon-fiber and plastic composite plane, which has been rolled out to customers over the past year.
Spokeswomen for United and Boeing said the problems on United's planes occurred in an electrical distribution panel, not a generator, as had been previously believed.
On Dec. 4, a United flight from Houston to Newark, New Jersey, made an emergency landing after it appeared that one of its power generators failed.
Last Thursday, Qatar Airways said it had grounded one of its three 787 jets because of the same problem United had experienced.
On Friday, the Seattle Times reported that the second United jet had electrical problems, bringing the total to three.
The newspaper quoted United as saying that on the Dec. 4 flight, "a power-distribution panel caused a nuisance generator fault indication", prompting the emergency landing. That meant a warning light came on when it shouldn't have. United said it "replaced the panel and returned the aircraft to service".
The Boeing spokeswoman said the power-distribution panel that developed the latest problem was different from one that caught fire during 787 testing in 2010.
The United spokeswoman declined to give further details because the problems are still being investigated and details about them may change.
On Friday, Boeing CEO Jim McNerney said in a television interview that the problems were "normal squawks" that occur when new planes are brought into service.
The 787 uses an electrical system with generators and power distribution panels to perform many functions that on other jet models are accomplished with compressed air from the plane's engines.
Problems with the 787, the first Boeing jet to be globally outsourced to suppliers around the world, caused it to enter service 3-1/2 years behind schedule. The electrical problems aren't the only issues arising with the new jet.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration told airlines to make immediate checks of fuel line couplings on the 787 to ensure that they were not leaking. The order came after the agency received notice that two 787s had developed leaks that could cause them to run out of fuel or catch fire.
Through November, Boeing had delivered 38 of its 787s. United is the only U.S. carrier that has put the jet into service. Other carries flying the jet include launch customer All Nippon Airways Co Ltd, Japan Airlines Co Ltd , LOT Polish Airlines and LAN Airlines of Chile.

Dark Igloo (1/2)
I've been friends with the homies of Dark Igloo, made up of duo Dave Franzese and Mark Miller, for a few years now, and they're two of the most creative dudes I know. Taking a look at their portfolio you can see the amazing amount of diverse thinking they posess – each project is unique and totally engaging. The guys hit me up recently with some beautiful wallpapers that I'll be sharing today and tomorrow. The first is Dave's wallpaper who's keeping things NICE. I feel like this is a perfect wallpaper for the season; nothing overly holiday but certainly fits the vibe of the weather. Check back tomorrow for Mark's wallpaper which is a throwback to the little things that made up (some) of our childhoods.

The master's thesis is an original empirical study that demonstrates the student's knowledge of both research methods and a mastery of her/his primary area of interest. The thesis should be rigorously investigated under the direct supervision of a major advisor and should be limited to a specific problem in tourism and hospitality management. Students are required to defend their theses publicly to the academic community.
A student preparing to defend a thesis should confirm a time and date with the Master's Committee and register with the graduate coordinator. After the time, date, and room are approved, the graduate coordinator will post flyers announcing the defense.
The student's Master's Committee is responsible for evaluating the thesis and the defense. No thesis should go to defense unless it is ready for public scrutiny. The Committee evaluates the student's ability to express verbally her/his research question, methodological approach, primary findings, and implications. The Committee votes to pass or fail the thesis and the defense at the conclusion of the public presentation. If the student must make revisions, those changes must be approved as arranged by the Committee.
Master's Project:
The master's project is intended to give students the opportunity to engage in systematic inquiry, while allowing for creative expression in the development of a final product. After identifying a specific problem or area of investigation, the final product for the project may take such forms as a videotape, a program evaluation, a demonstration, a new design, a research paper for publication, a grant proposal, or a manual. The project may be specific to an agency.
The student must complete all course requirements before submitting a written project proposal to the Project Committee. The proposal should identify the area of investigation, state the significance, outline the steps to be used in systematic inquiry, and describe the nature of the final product. The Project Committee is composed of two Graduate Faculty members in the School who are selected by the student. One member serves as the major advisor for the project.
Upon completion of the master's project, the student must formally present the project to the Project Committee at a final meeting. After the candidate leaves the room, the Committee decides if the project is approved.

Wesley S. Roehl , Ph.D.
Ira G. Shapiro. Ph.D.
The goal of the graduate program in Tourism and Hospitality Management is to develop advanced professionals in the field of tourism, hospitality, and commercial recreation management. Education should enable professionals in this field to be expert managers, marketers, and planners in the public, private, and commercial sectors. The program prepares students to be middle-level and, eventually, upper-level managers in the tourism and hospitality industry. The degree program is based not only on the practical application of management techniques, but also on the theoretical foundation that defines the profession. This makes the degree program clearly distinct from generic management curricula that do not include an industry-specific core. (Students interested in studying at the doctoral level should refer to the Ph.D. program in Business Administration with a concentration in Tourism offered by The Fox School of Business and Management.)
Time Limit for Degree Completion: 4 years
Main Campus
Students may take their two business electives at the Fort Washington, Ambler, or Center City campuses.

Etymologically, I'm infatuated with "uh-oh". I choose to imagine its formation thusly:
Glory begins in an "uh"—the involuntary spasm associated with confusion or unfamiliarity, it's a commonplace verbal crutch oft extinguished with any formal public speaking training. It's negative space before a cohesive thought, like a dial-tone waiting for instructions. And, with regard to "uh-oh", this monosyllabic overture intonates a forthcoming thought still too primitive for higher linguistics or verbiage. To the poor souls who utter it, their minds grope at the ineffable harbinger with horrifying deftness.
Notice singularity in purpose of the "uh" and the "oh": there's no space. A space affords a pause… and if there's time for pause, there's time for action. But, in this moment, action is meaningless, so the a hyphen is used only to service grammarians and readers. It's certainly not useful nor pertinent for its utterer who, clearly, has more pressing matters to attend to.
"Oh" is the moment of clarity when dire incomprehension shifts into sharp focus. "Oh" isn't acknowledgement of a mistake—that's "oops!"—or understanding that everything's going to be ok. Quite the opposite, in fact: the "oh" is the implicit acceptance that this, whatever it is that is now harrowing down upon your consciousness, is not good. This much you know. There is little, if nothing, to immediately do or solve, and your mind accepts the eventuality. What will happen will happen, and the most amount of action you can muster is to vocalize your fantastic impotence with a word so fatalistic that it does not employ a hard consonant.
Revel in the uh-ohs. They're the only moments when you can resign yourself to the fate of your circumstances.

Uehara's focus on future, not past success
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Out on Field 3 on Monday morning, the pitch started at Dustin Pedroia's belt and dramatically swooped down to his feet in an unfair instant. The Red Sox's star second baseman swung awkwardly at the pitch and then laughed at himself.
"That was sick," bellowed Pedroia in reference to a wicked splitter by closer Koji Uehara, the type of pitch that had as much to do with the Red Sox winning the World Series last year as anything else.
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Out on Field 3 on Monday morning, the pitch started at Dustin Pedroia's belt and dramatically swooped down to his feet in an unfair instant. The Red Sox's star second baseman swung awkwardly at the pitch and then laughed at himself.
"That was sick," bellowed Pedroia in reference to a wicked splitter by closer Koji Uehara, the type of pitch that had as much to do with the Red Sox winning the World Series last year as anything else.
But later in the batting-practice session between teammates, some even rarer things happened.
Mike Napoli hit two missiles -- one off the chain-link fence in left and another that nearly had home-run distance in right. Pedroia ripped one to the gap in right-center.
"The only team that hits him is us," mused pitching coach Juan Nieves as he hustled between fields.
"Remember, the only guys that can break you are on your team, so don't worry about it," Pedroia playfully told Uehara.
Even if Napoli and Pedroia could generate some bragging rights against their teammate during BP, they -- along with everyone else affiliated with the Red Sox -- are quite pleased that Uehara will once again be closing games for Boston during the 2014 season.
Uehara is coming off a Tour De Force type of season.
When the Red Sox clinched the American League East title on Sept. 20, Uehara finished the game with a strikeout. He then stood on the mound and finished off the Rays, Tigers and Cardinals with whiffs in the three postseason rounds.
"I was just trying to get the final out. That's the only thing I was thinking of -- nothing more, nothing less," Uehara said. "Of course, when we finally won it, there was an explosion of enjoyment there."
It was a stylish way for the righty to finish perhaps the best season by a closer in Red Sox history.
So when Uehara went back to Japan during the offseason, you probably expected he was given the treatment previously reserved for the likes of Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki.
Instead, Uehara paints a much different picture.
"Nothing has changed at all," Uehara said. "I don't realize any changes. I think me and [Junichi Tazawa], we just lack the star power."
Keep in mind that Uehara wasn't saying this as a complaint. He comes across as relatively ego-free and always driven to keep proving himself.
There were maybe some small hints that Uehara came home a champion for the first time in his Major League career.
"Within the family members, sure, there were some parties, but nothing so grandeur, or nothing too big," Uehara said.
Only when prompted did Uehara mention that he wrote a book over the winter, and landed an endorsement for a brand of beer in Japan.
"Please try it," Uehara said. "It's coming here, so we'll give you some."
However, Uehara doesn't want anything given to him -- not even the closer's role that is clearly his to lose.
"I feel that I still have to earn it," Uehara said. "I'm just preparing accordingly to win that position."
Perhaps it took a monster season from Uehara, capped by the World Series celebration, to realize that he has been dominating hitters for the past few seasons.
The only thing that could stop him is father time. The righty turns 39 in April. But Uehara might just have the weapon -- that lethal splitter -- to ward off the impact of age for another year or two.
"When you have a pitch that's so stinking good and so much better than everybody else's in the game … We all have our time, but I don't see him slowing down in the near future," said right-hander Jake Peavy.
Despite the cultural difference, Uehara has a clear bond with his teammates.
Of the rips Pedroia and Napoli took off him on Monday, Uehara could only smile.
"I think it was a difference in salary," Uehara said. "You could see that in how they performed against me."
In truth, Uehara has turned into a money pitcher, one who will earn a modest $4.25 million in the option year of his contract.
Though Uehara's montage of 2013 highlights was probably as impressive as anyone on the Red Sox, it doesn't sound as if he spent a lot of time over the winter celebrating his work.
"It's all in the past," Uehara said. "It's not productive, so I didn't really reflect on it."
Is it fair for the Red Sox to expect Uehara to match his numbers from last year, which included a 1.09 ERA and a .130 opponents' batting average?
"Totally fair," quipped manager John Farrell.
On a more serious note, the Red Sox are quite confident that the closer can once again be one of the best in the league.
"Granted, his performance last year was outstanding," Farrell said. "The line that he put up, the time of the year, the game, the importance of when he put it. I keep going back to the previous years. This is a very successful pitcher every year he's been here in the States."
