Event Details
Tim Jenison is an inventor featured in the documentary film, Tim's Vermeer. In the film he works to solve a mystery: How did 17th century Dutch Master Johannes Vermeer manage to paint so photo-realistically—150 years before the invention of photography?
Jenison learned about technology and electrical equipment from his father, who ran an electrical engineering firm. At an early age, he learned to play the piano, and his keyboard talents propelled him to leave college to join a rock band. In the late 1970s, he saw the computer as the integrating medium for his various passions: electronics, music, film and video. He decided that forming a company was the best way to fuel his endeavors to create sophisticated, yet affordable video software tools that everyone could use. In 1985 Jenison founded NewTek, a hardware and software company that produces live and post-production video tools and visual imaging software for personal computers. Jenison also led the way in the development of DigiView (one of the first video digitizers for a computer), DigiPaint, and the Video Toaster®.
At this Cal Poly Science, Jenison will share his career path and his work. We'll start with a quick game to illustrate what are sometimes invisible connections between people and disciplines, led by Pegi Marshall, assistant professor of scenic design in the Theater and Dance Department. Jenison will then screen his latest short film (10 minutes) and bring his comparator mirror for a demonstration. There will be time for Q&A.
This event will include students from across the disciplines at Cal Poly, and illustrate how a mashup of determination, talent and interdisciplinary experimentation can lead to great discoveries and inspire lifelong learning. Free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
There is an exhibit of Jenison's process work in the Community Gallery. A free screening of the documentary, Tim's Vermeer, is also open to the community.
- Exhibit: Sept. 14 – Oct. 3rd • 1st floor Community Gallery, Kennedy Library
- Free Film Screening of Tim's Vermeer: Wednesday Sept. 30 • Time: 7pm • Spanos Theatre with a Q &A by Tim Jenison to follow
Sponsors and Collaborators: College of Liberal Arts, Theatre & Dance Department, Liberal Arts & Engineering Studies Program (LAES), Graphic Communication Department (GrC), Cal Poly Center for Expressive Technologies (CET) and Computer Science.
Join Tim Jenison and assistant professor Pegi Marshall for a mashup that brings together students from various disciplines to discover surprising connections between themselves and their disciplines. Both sessions will include a 10 minute film about Tim's most recent painting – "Claire with the Pearl Earring"– and the comparator mirror used in his process.
Wednesday, September 30th
KTGY Gallery in building 21m Engineering West room 105. Open to all.
• 10-11:30AM: Art vs. Science
• 2:30-4:00PM: It's about the Process, Not the Product

Every single day, Tennessee workers go to their workplaces and do their job so that they can put food on the table, feed their families and do their best to achieve the American dream. Unfortunately, some jobs are far more dangerous than others, and serious accidents at work can happen. The loss of a positive contributor to the community is always a difficult tragedy to cope with, both for friends and family members. Fortunately, as family members struggle to make ends meet without the much-needed income provided by this person, workers' compensation is available to help them get through this difficult time.
Recently, an on-the-job accident took the life of an employee of a tire company. The Tennessee accident occurred on Monday, Nov. 18. According to a representative of the tire company, two trucks were being serviced when one of them was started while in gear. The truck suddenly lunged forward and struck one employee, which caused that employee to suffer catastrophic head injuries.
Although the man was flown by helicopter to a hospital, doctors were unable to save him. He succumbed to his injuries later that day. The president of the tire company expressed his heartfelt sympathy to friends and family members. According to the president, the tire company is currently conducting an investigation into the incident to determine the actual cause and exactly what happened. The president also stated that every action will be taken to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again.
Whenever a Tennessee resident is injured or killed in an on-the-job accident, that person and/or his family members may seek financial assistance by filing a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation benefits typically include money to help cover medical care at the hospital and money to help cover rehabilitation services. In addition, for the family members of fatal accident victims, these state regulated insurance benefits can include a lost income package for covered dependents.

Anime Limited certainly do not rush things. Back when I discovered that my special edition of Durarara was plagued with missing subtitles it took them a year to post replacement discs. Their release of Mai Mai Miracle wasn't any speedier either. I backed the English language release of this movie back when it was announced in February 2014 and only received my copy at the start of this year. Delays like that really put me off from supporting projects on Kickstarter, not to mention that some companies are abusing the generosity of customers. Just recently Anime Limited went back to Kickstarter asking for £4,500 to localize Mind Game. What? Are you telling me that one of the UK's biggest anime distributors can't afford that sum of cash? Just because the company is based in Scotland doesn't mean that they have to be so tight with their money.
Mai Mai Miracle takes place in a tiny rural town named Hofu during the 1950s. The film follows the daily life of nine-year-old Shinko Aoki who is blessed with an overactive imagination. With no television to keep her amused Shinko spends her time fantasising about what her hometown was like during the late Edo period. One of her many daydreams stars a lonesome princess who moved to the region and now finds herself without any friends of her own age. Early on in the film Shinko befriends an affluent transfer student named Kiiko Shimazu, who has moved from Tokyo to Hofu due to her father's work commitments. Unlike the boisterous Shinko, Kiiko is quiet and shy… although she does open up after consuming some liquored chocolates. Under the effects of alcohol the timid lady even manages to see the funny side of her mother's tragic passing.
The source of Shinko's fantasies is her cowlick, which she has christened Mai Mai. I too possess unruly hair that can only be tamed with strong gel. Perhaps my locks are responsible for the hallucinations I see? It's that or the twenty beers I drunk. Hic. Anyways, this carefree tale forgoes plot in favour of showcasing Shinko and chums enjoying their youth. Using discarded lumber we see Shinko's group construct a pond where they hang out caring for a vagrant goldfish. Viewers also witness the protagonist bicker with her baby sis. Like most siblings the two argue, but do care for each other as evidenced in a scene were the toddler goes missing. Over the ninety-five minute running time we also see Kiiko bond with her new classmates. After a rough start she mellows out enough to forgive the scruffy kid who carelessly turned her coloured pencil into splinters.
My rating for Mai Mai Miracle is four and a half stars. I have felt rather low this week, due to undesirable department restructures at work, so a sweet slice of life movie was just what the doctored ordered to perk up my spirits. As someone who resides in a concrete jungle I cannot relate to the rural lifestyle presented in this Sunao Katabuchi directed flick, but I still felt nostalgia watching Shinko and friends onscreen. Their exploits aren't all that different to the adventures my pals Julian, Dick, George, Anne and Timmy got up to during our preadolescent days. One summer I remember exploring an island with them and tangling with thieves who were after gold housed within the hold of a sunken ship. Oh wait a second. Did that really happen or am I mixing up my childhood with Famous Five plots again?
Overall I had a pleasant time watching Mai Mai Miracle. The only thing that didn't click with me was the flashbacks (featuring a young royal) that would occasionally interrupt proceedings. Had that footage been removed I don't think the movie would have been any weaker for it. Perhaps the clips could have been fashioned into a short story and repackaged as a DVD extra instead? Either way I can recommend Mai Mai Miracle as good wholesome family entertainment. The folks at Madhouse have managed to capture the whimsy Studio Ghibli is known for with this adaptation of Nobuko Takagi's novel. Although I started this review bemoaning the time it took for this release to hit my mailbox it must be said that I am very satisfied with the final product. Like the old adage goes, good things come to those who wait.

Hello everyone
My name is Rosie and i am new to this site and to cake decorating in general. well kinda. ive done it for years but never really pursued it. would get discouraged with it and stop. but i took a cake decorating/fondant class and now i am very determined to make it into my passion. Any help anyone could off i could love you forever.
Hi Rosie,
What sort of help or advice did you need? Maybe that way fellow CC members can help you out accordingly.
Nixs :o)
AI like to bake as a hobby and when my children were young, and before it was even really popular, I used to make cakes from my home for people who were beginning to get sticker shocked at the bakery. A few tips:
1. Create an ingredients list, right down to the smallest item.
2. Take your time; plan all your work according to a time schedule you have created and a checklist of each necessary task in order of their performance.
3. With all the external skill sets available out there don't be afraid to use those external sources if you feel you are weak in some areas. For example, I recently made a cake with poinsettia flowers but I knew that making them myself might prove to be a challenge. Sometimes certain flowers just don't look perfect to me and the poinsettia happens to be one, so I ordered them pre made and I was not disappointed and my guests loved the cake! This makes the whole thing stress free and still enjoyable.
Someday maybe my poinsettia flowers will be to my liking but I doubt it LOL, so let someone do that who is excellent at it. The prices are so inexpensive that you can't even make them yourself for that. So stick to what you know well and make the rest stress free.
4. Follow directions. Shortcuts are usually counterproductive when you are just beginning.
5. Don't be afraid to study other people's cakes closely to get ideas for your own work; if you are in a non-competing market geographically they will usually not mind sharing little tips with you and sometimes will even go beyond and tell you how they made the entire project.
i am sure other members will jump in with their own tips, so i will end my list here. Good luck with your passion.
I am also new, to this and still looking in to classes, anyway. what is the secret to a moist cake from scratch?

The user friendly machine comes with a pulse blending button, which you can press to create the consistency of your frappe drink. In this way, you can tailor your frappe to meet your specific tastes and preferences. The frappe maker has a removable brew basket, a 20 oz blending jar, and a 3 minute blend-and-brew cycle.

This compact coffee maker has been designed as the perfect appliance for small apartments and secondary homes, as it has the ability to meet the needs of coffee drinkers who do not take too many cups a day.
As you can see from the name, the Cuisinart 4 cup coffee maker comes with a stainless steel carafe, which is sturdy, lightweight, and durable. This carafe will hold your coffee once it has finished brewing, and it will keep it warm and fresh until you are ready to drink it.
Furthermore, the carafe comes with a knuckle guard for safety and comfort, and a dripless pour spout for mess free serving.
Furthermore, this BPA free coffee maker comes with a Brew Pause feature, which gives you the chance to pour yourself a cup of coffee even before the coffee is done brewing.

The bold coffee that you will enjoy with this coffee maker will definitely put a smile on your face, and now you can enjoy a fresh and hot cup of Joe without ever stepping foot outside.
4. Hamilton Beach FlexBrew 49999A Single Serve Coffee Maker

5. Zojirushi EC-DAC50 Zutto 5-Cup, Drip Coffee Maker
Zojirushi has created its first collection of products, and they are known as the Zutto collection. This collection is the brainchild of Zojirushi and a Japanese interior designer, which may seem like an odd collaboration at first.
However, this collaboration has come up with a coffee maker that performs as well as it looks.

How To Choose - Some Crucial Point To Assess
For the best selection of an amazing coffee maker for home there are a number of factors that you have to be conversant with to help you in the selection process. With these factors in mind, you are sure of purchasing a coffee maker that will suit your needs.
The number of cups
Before you purchase a coffee maker for your home, you should consider the amount of coffee that you usually brew. If it is for you alone then you can consider a single serve machine but if it is for you and your family you can consider a larger automatic drip machine that can serve up to 10 cups of coffee that will be more than enough for you and everyone else.
The carafe
Coffee maker carafes are available in two common types which is the glass carafe and the thermal carafe. Most people do go for the thermal carafe because it tends to keep your coffee hot for quite some time compared to the glass carafe which doesn't keep it hot for long.
Size and height
Before you make a purchase, make sure that you put into consideration the size and the height of the machine. Ensure that you get one that is not big enough and can allow you to move it from one position to another and also one that fits into your cabinet and doesn't take a lot of storage space. If you purchase one that is too big for your cabinet space, storing it will be a problem for you.
The filtration
The filtration system in the coffee machine is meant to remove impurities from the water. It increases the quality and the taste of the coffee in case you did as poorly tasting water or chlorinated water. Filtering the water you want to use to make coffee will have an impact on the final taste of the coffee. For better maintenance of the filter, ensure that you do replace it after using it for some time to ensure optimal function.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question 101: Are home coffee makers dishwasher safe?
Question 202: Do home coffee makers come with travel mugs because personally I do like carrying coffee with me when travelling and so I need one that comes with a travel mug.
Question 303: Do they come with user manual or any type of guide that has instructions on how to use the machine especially for the first time users?
Question 404: Can I be able to find one coffee maker for my home that is programmable?
To Sum Up
You can now see for yourself that I was not exaggerating when I called these the best coffee makers for home guide and review is the utmost options for your home. These coffee makers have been designed with the features and functions that you need to brew a good cup of coffee, and they will definitely ensure that you only drink the best.
The coffee makers vary in price, features, and functions, so you can use the reviews to identify the one that will work best for your needs. I urge you to read this post one more time so that you can make your final decision, and then go ahead and make your worthwhile purchase. Good luck!

The Medical Consultant will verify if the medical emergency qualifies based on the medical documentation and verification process.
After an employee becomes a Leave Bank Recipient, his/her annual leave and sick leave accruals are prorated each pay period based upon the number of donated hours used. The portion of accrued annual and sick leave that is not made available for immediate use is put into a leave account that will be available to employee when he/she is removed from recipient status; this is called a "set-aside account." An employee may accrue no more than 40 hours of annual leave and 40 hours of sick leave in his/her set-aside account.

Ol' 55 door The Eagles in #Donderslag 60 op #Radio501
Ol'55 is een oude Buick uit 1955. Het is geschreven door Tom Waits en wordt nu gezongen door The Eagles. Ik draaide deze song om 14.15u vanmiddag.
Hieronder kun je er ook nog even naar kijken.
Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way.
Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing,
I'm on my way home from your place.
And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks,
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer,
Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger.
And my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive.
Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck,
Freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks, freeway cars and trucks…
"lickety-splitly " is simply a folksy way of saying quickly.
The phrase is usually spelled "lickety-split", but it does sound like it's "lickety-splitly"
Lady Luck
1) A woman who is the love of your life and hard to be away from. When your not with her your luck is not to be found.
2) A girl who is quick to have sex or give oral pleasure to anyone she meets.
De originele versie van Tom Waits:
The Eagles Bio
FORMED: 1971, Los Angeles, CA
1971 in California, Don Henley and Glenn Frey meet as members of Linda Ronstadt's band. They realize they have a mutual goal – the formation of their own band – which is realized when teamed with Bernie Leadon and Randy Meisner by Ronstadt's manager, John Boylan, as a projected backup band. Instead, the Eagles are formed.
Signed by Asylum Records, the Eagles travel to London to record with producer Glyn Johns. Their debut album is released in 1972 titled Eagles. The first single "Take It Easy" earned them instant national recognition. Another single, "Witchy Woman" hits #9 on the charts and the Eagles tour through the end of the year.
Their follow -up album is also recorded in London; however, halfway through recording the Eagles want a more rock-oriented sound and move recordings to California with producer Bill Szymczyk. The album Desperado is released in 1973 and evolves into what becomes the group's hallmark of storyteller writing.
While recording their next album, Don Felder is called in for guitar work. When the album is released Felder is made a member of the band. On The Border is released in 1974. The single "Best of My Love" hits #1 on the adult contemporary charts, placing them as a favorite among listeners. This also gives the Eagles' their first gold single record as well as multiple Grammy nominations.
In 1975, the Eagles are ready to release their fourth album One of These Nights. The title track "One of These Nights," a rhythm and blues song, is released early and the album is gold certified within a week of its release. By years end, Bernie Leadon departs from the band and is replaced by Joe Walsh.
By 1976, the band's success is still growing. Asylum releases Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975 and sells over a million copies upon its release, earning the first RIAA platinum award given in that category. This album is also the third in history to sell at the million-unit mark upon release. This same year, the band is awarded its first Grammy for the single "Lyin Eyes."
At years end, the new incarnation of the group releases their next album Hotel California, receiving outstanding commercial and critical success and reaching #1 on the Billboard Charts and goes gold. At that point, Hotel California sells nine million units, which surpasses the seven million units of Eagles: Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975. The following year is spent touring the US, Canada, England, Scotland, Europe, and Scandinavia. In August, Randy Meisner leaves the band and is replaced by Timothy B. Schmit.
1978 proves to be a successful year for the band. The Eagles receive two Grammy awards: Best Vocal Arrangement for "New Kid In Town" and Record of the Year for Hotel California. The band spends that year recording The Long Run. During recording breaks for this album, the Eagles release "Please Come Home for Christmas" and "Funky New Year." The single became the first Christmas record to break into the top 20 on national music charts in over 20 years.
The band was falling apart; however, they fulfilled promises of a long awaited Japanese tour with a stop in Hawaii. The Long Run is released and reaches #1 on the Billboard Charts. The Eagles do an extensive tour of the United States. No official announcements are made about the band until after the release of the 1981 album Eagles Live. This album reaches #6 on the charts. Even with all the success, the Eagles decide to go their own directions and declare that they would not get back together until hell froze over.
After a 14-year "vacation" the Eagles returned for an MTV special. This live recording became the bands' 1994 release quintessentially titled Hell Freezes Over, which reaches #1 on the Billboard Charts. During the next two years, the band tours, breaking all kinds of sales and attendance records proving to be the most successful tours in music history. Hell Freezes Over went on to sell over 15 million copies. In 1998, the Eagles were inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame.
1999, the new millennium was arriving and the Eagles decided to play a New Year's Eve show opening the new Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Later that year a four CD box set Eagles Selected Works 1972-1999 is released which includes highlights from that New Year's Eve show as well as hit songs throughout the bands' career.
The band now consisting of Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, and Timothy B. Schmit, toured Europe in the summer of 2001. The Eagles, in their third decade of entertaining fans around the world have amazing longevity that has lasted the test of time.

The field of power electronics and electrical drives, which is assigned to be part of the classic power engineering, is more up-to-date than ever before and there is also a strong demand for it.
The motion control by electrical drives affects all areas of life. Often, this happens unnoticeably and automatically and is taken for granted by the users. Variable speed drives are state of the art even for home appliances. More sophisticated drives can be found in elevators, paper and steel mills, or rail vehicles, to name just a few examples. In total, 65% of the electric energy produced in Germany is used by electrical drives in the end. Furthermore, electrical drives become more and more important in mobile systems such as ships and road vehicles. It seems that the time is even ripe for pure electric vehicles.
Power electronics is not only an essential element of controllable electrical drives, but is by now also a technological key component in the efficient generation, distribution and use of electrical energy. The grid connection of renewable energy sources such as wind power or photovoltaics is hardly imaginable without power electronics. Variable frequency conversion of electric energy as required e.g. for powering the railway grid is no longer performed with rotating machines, but with power electronic means. New impetus is given by IT systems like server farms, where electronic power supplies of highest efficiency and smallest size are demanded. It is estimated that in a few years up to 80% of the total electric energy will be converted by one or even several power electronic stages on their way between generator and user.

Hey guys! I'm new to WordPress, so to get a feel for the site and how it suits my hobbies of reviewing movies, my first reviews/posts will be ones that I've already written. In the spirit of the new year, I will be posting only my "Top 10" and "Bottom 5" movies of 2015 (or at least for the ones I wrote reviews for). Enjoy and let me know what everyone thinks. 🙂
Let's get this out of the way, I'm a fan of the WALLACE & GROMIT shorts, as well as claymation in general. Aardman Animations usually belts out pretty solid stuff. But, man, that trailer for this movie did not do it for me. It looked like it was going to rely on the most childish form of humor that you can put in a film: gross-out humor. So my faith in this being a good film was shaken. I was going to see this film anyway, as claymation is such a treat to see on film, but I had low expectations that this would be anything than what the marketing team seemed to want it to be: a kids movie. But then early reviews started cropping up. IMDb gave it a 7.4/10 (as of 8/12/2015), which is a decent score to have on that site, and on the ever popular RottenTomatoes site, critics gave it a 99% (as of 8/12/2015), and they hate everything, and audiences gave it an 83% (as of 8/12/2015), so my hope was renewed. Had an extra comp pass for work and sat down with… cautiously high expectations.
Shaun is a sheep who lives a frustrating life on Mossy Bottom Farm. Once, Shaun and the rest of the sheep had a great relationship with the Farmer, but time changed them into having a very unsteady relationship almost to the point of professionalism rather than family. Well, Shaun's tired of the same old routine of getting sheered and discarded and just wants a day of fun with the rest of the sheep. They trick the farmer into going to sleep and high jinks ensues. However, the sheep hid the Farmer inside of a trailer and it rolls away toward the big city. The Farmer's trusty dog Bitzer chases after him. Knowing that he's responsible for this mishap, Shaun and the sheep pursue as well. But upon arrival, the Farmer goes missing who suffered a head injury leading to amnesia and neither Shaun nor Bitzer can find him. Things are only more complicated as the city's sadistic expert animal snatcher hounds the sheep like a crazy-man and it becomes a desperate search to reunite with the Farmer and bring him home.
Aardman needs to slap their marketing team every which way that can possibly exist because this movie is SO CUTE!!! Yes, Shaun and the rest of the sheep are adorable in appearance, especially Timmy the baby sheep, who is fifty kinds of adorable, but it's their camaraderie, their teamwork, and resourcefulness that just makes me gush at these characters.
Now bare in mind, folks, these characters don't talk. This is a… semi-minimalist film. The characters just grunt, mumble, and everything in between. The characters act through their facial expressions and that's pretty much it. The claymation for it is outstanding. It's engaging, from its drama to its comedy, there's truly something for everyone. There's even a couple of sad bits in there that really add to the story as well.
Also keep in mind that this movie isn't… overly funny, per se. Not because the jokes fall flat, but rather it opts for the WALLACE & GROMIT formula in that the characters are more likable than funny. Granted, there are a few knee-slappers in the movie, but just don't hold out for it being a riot. This isn't Dreamworks, or even Disney. This movie is doing its own thing, and if you're a fan of this style of story-telling, I highly recommend it.
Sadly, I don't see this movie doing very well at the box office. According to Box Office Mojo, the film's only raked in $6.2 million at the box office on a budget of about $25 million (according to a Google search), despite it being out in America for over a week. Again, Aardman's marketing team sucks. Jack-asses… which is a shame because I think this film is thoroughly enjoyable.
I honestly don't know what to say about this movie. It's a smaller film compared to say, FANTASTIC FOUR, which there is too much to say about. I honestly chalk this movie up to being an experience. It's wholesome, it's fun, and there's a great deal of enjoyment to be had by one and all.

One Pan Dinner and Tasty use of leftover chicken.
|15 ml
|1 tbsp. butter or margarine
|125 ml
|1/2 cup chopped onion
|125 ml
|1/2 cup chopped celery
|500 ml
|2 cups of leftover chicken, cut into bite size pieces
|1 can
|Cream of celery soup
|1 ml

|5 ml
|1 tsp dried thyme
|125 ml
|1/3 cup milk

If using fresh vegetable, prepare and cut into bite size pieces and pre-cook in microwave.
In cast iron or oven safe deep skillet start by melting butter and saute onion and celery on top of the stove. Blend in soup, stir in cooked vegetables and seasonings. Add chicken, then slowly add only enough milk until soup coats ingredients and consistency is more like a sauce or gravy rather than soup. If you have lots of leftover chicken then use 2nd can of soup and increase vegetables as required.
Pre-heat oven to 375.
Topping: In 2 cup microwave glass measuring cup melt butter and let cool. In bowl mix together dry ingredients - add cheese. To cooled butter whisk in milk & egg. Stir into dry ingredients. Spoon over chicken/vegetable mixture, spread evenly. Bake in 375 oven until lightly golden - 30-35 minutes.
I microwaved fresh carrots, parsnips and turnip, and then added frozen peas. In this recipe hubby can't tell what veggies he's eating.

One in three men feel the need to look good on social media
It's common knowledge that social media has placed a lot of pressure onto women to look their best, but did you know men feel the pressure too? According to a recent survey conducted by Men's Health magazine, one in three men admit they feel they need to look good on social media. It's not the first piece of research to reveal an issue with male body image. Previous studies have revealed a quarter of boys believe there's such a thing as a "perfect male body image" which makes them feel like they aren't good enough.

When it comes to helpful and extremely popular devices, the humble laptop computer is without question one of the most popular and most efficient computers ever created. Over time however, like all things, they can become damaged, worn down, and in need of a little TLC maybe. With laptops, one of the most troublesome areas and also one of the most commonly affected areas is the battery. Because of this, you will need to ensure that you are able to pick up a new battery if your current one experiences any issues. Finding the right battery for your laptop however, is not as simple as may think. Buying a new laptop battery can actually be pretty confusing and complicated, especially if you're not too computer-savvy. Here are a few helpful tips to help you find the right battery for your laptop. If also you need a battery for your digital camera which always go hand in hand with laptops. See this article about camera repairs, it mentioned a shop that maybe able to help you.
Make sure you know your current laptop model and brand – It may sound odd, but you'd be surprised by just how many people go ahead and search "laptop battery" on the internet, and purchase the first battery they come across, only to find that the battery they ordered is for an entirely different device. Even simply knowing the brand of your laptop isn't enough, so you should also ensure that you know the model as well. The exact model number will either be printed on the laptop, or will be on a sticker or label located somewhere on the device.
Make sure you know the battery model number – To help ensure that you do know exactly which battery to purchase, if you look on the current battery you will also find a battery model number, which will show you exactly which battery to order. If you can't find the battery model number however, or if you're not happy with your current battery, there are often numerous other batteries that will be compatible with your laptop, you just need to shop around.
Do your research – If you do come across a battery that is compatible with your laptop, don't be so quick to purchase it, instead, do your research and find a little more out about the battery. Read the specifications, and more importantly, see what other people are saying by reading reviews of the product. If you find a battery with a great deal of negative or mixed reviews, you may want to find an alternative. On the flipside however, if you find a battery with a great deal of positive reviews, read what people are saying and what they liked about the product, and if you're happy, go ahead and order it.
Always buy from trusted suppliers – We all want to save as much money as possible, and unfortunately not all laptop batteries are the cheapest items in the world. They're certainly not ridiculously expensive, but they do cost a pretty penny. However, don't scrimp by purchasing a battery from company, a supplier, or even a second-hand dealer as you simply don't know what you're getting. Only buy from trusted suppliers as that way you know exactly what you're getting, and also the product will almost certainly have a warranty, giving you a little extra peace of mind.

Vista, California, March 21, 2018— Three local women were honored at Soroptimist International of Vista and North County Inland's annual "Live Your Dream" Awards Gala held Saturday, March 10 at the elegant Vista Valley Country Club. About 140 guests attended the $75 per plate dinner, including Vista Mayor Judy Ritter, Vista Councilman Joe Green, and Oceanside Councilman Jerry Kern. Author and Communications Coach Sheryl Roush of Sparkle Presentations was the guest speaker and music was supplied by DJ Party Pam. Event sponsors were Tri-City Medical Center and Modern Builders Supply.
The featured event was the presentation of the Club's "Live Your Dream" Award to three single mothers who are all attending college locally. As presenter Catherine Manis explained, Soroptimist Live Your Dream awards are designed to help women who have overcome great obstacles and are the primary source of financial support for their families by giving them the resources they need to improve their education and employment prospects. Each of the three awardees received a $5,000 check and award certificate as well as a proclamation from Vista mayor Judy Ritter and Certificates of Recognition signed by State Assembly woman Marie Waldron. "We'd like to also recognize the employees of Datron Communications for their donations," said Jackie Piro Huyck. "Their generosity made that third cash award possible. It is our goal each year to raise enough money to help three women," she explained, "and we met that goal this year. Plus, due to other generous donors, we were able to present each woman with her own laptop computer and printer."
Alaina, Linda (not her real name) and Grace all wished to keep their identities private, for safety reasons. Alaina, supporting three young children, is studying at Cal State San Marcos with the goal of pursuing a degree in Sociology. "Linda," after escaping an abusive marriage, will be attending Miracosta College this fall in pursuit of an Associates Degree in Nursing. Grace, a single mother of two, is working towards her Associates Degree in Nursing at Palomar College. All are balancing school while working to support their families. They each spoke briefly of their struggles to pull themselves out of very bad situations in order to follow their dreams. "They were grateful to the Soroptimists for not only the financial assistance, but also the moral support and encouragement, which was very important to them," said Gala co-chair Aleta Dirdo. "And one of our past Live Your Dream award recipients, Alisha Donaldson, also talked briefly, updating us on her experiences since winning her award last year. She spoke of the way that Soroptimists are always available to help in any way they can," added Dirdo.
Keynote speaker Sheryl Roush gave an inspirational talk, sharing with the audience her own experience of abuse, depression, and other hardships, as well as her determination to improve her life and follow her own dream of being an entrepreneur. She spoke of the power of a positive attitude and believing in the worthiness of oneself and others. "She was awesome," said Soroptimist Karen Thompson. "I think she should always be a part of our Gala!"
A silent auction was held featuring a myriad of enticing items, including a dinner for eight at a Firehouse, which was won by Denise Boulton of Boulton Mortgage and Real Estate. Proceeds from the auction will go into the club's Service Fund for next year's awards.
Gala Committee members were Paula Nix and Aleta Dirdo (co-Chairs), Sherry Luz, Thoralinda Soyland, Lani Beltrano, Runa Gunnars, Assly Sayar, Karen Del Bene, Ellen Clark, Nelly Jarrous, Catherine Manis, Judy Gregorie and Jackie Piro Huyck.

Unearth - Internal War lyrics
Internal War by Unearth
Internal war.
Killing our own.
Burn the ones that have sinned against.
Claim their lives in your death romance.
Arm the young with your hunting toys.
By your own actions you are all to blame.
Power in the wrong hands our scaffold is destroyed.
Children killing children because our government has ignored.
I sling my arrow to shatter your walls.
No more creating victims from ignorance.
Left to second both sides.
Each one cries and lies.
No more war.
You've killed again.
My life for what.
Bound hands.
Yes you've all killed again.
Stand by as dying children wait for life.
The line has been crossed again.
How long will it take.
The line has been crossed again.
How long will it take to protect life.

Palin Comes to Own Defense on Facebook
Sarah Palin sent out a message to her fans on Facebook. The title - "A Thanksgiving Message to All 57 States". Clever. The reason for the message was to stand up to the ribbing she has received for her slip of the tongue during a recent interview. She referred to North Korea instead of South Korea as our ally and the media snarks were off and running with vigor. Problem is, she immediately corrected her gaffe and that was the end of it. Or so she thought.
The message on Facebook refers to the long list of gaffes uttered during speeches and town hall meetings by President Obama. She backs them up with links to youtube videos. She mentions she didn't have the time to include the abundance of gaffes uttered by Joe Biden. Amusing. A part of me cheers her resolve to be her own biggest defender. Another part of me cringes. My instinct is to say, "Sarah. Please. Stop." The media is determined to stick with the usual path - conservatives are stupid and liberals are superior intellectuals. Palin is a prime target as she is always present.
The irony is that Palin supporters and Obama supporters are very much alike. Both politicians have people in their corner who will accept no criticism of their favorite. Both camps have those who are not open to anything negative or even perceived as negative to be written or said about their favorite. And, they both suffer from over-exposure. Not to mention thin-skinned.
Political strategist Mark McKinnon writes: Palin's appeal completely befuddles metro-intellectuals. They scoff at her "experience," holding the one-time city manager, mayor, oil and gas commission chair, governor, and vice presidential nominee to a different standard than candidate Obama. A marathon runner, mother of five, and grandmother to one, she has no qualms about smacking a slimy halibut—or an oil and gas company—upside the head. And don't be fooled, underneath that "prom hair" is a brilliant populist. McKinnon coached Palin as she prepared for her debate with Joe Biden. He has a personal admiration for the woman as a person yet doesn't want her to run for President.
Obama fanboys write about Palin's self defense, too. POLITICO was among the news organizations that reported on Palin's gaffe.
Palin's Facebook statement served as both a warning shot to the media and to the White House. She has made it clear in the Past several weeks that she is considering running for president, telling ABC that she could defeat Obama.
The gist of Palin's memo was that the media should apply even standards to candidates and their slip-ups.
Novel idea, huh? Treat politicians in both parties with the same amount of scrutiny. In most of the media, that would be a different approach to reporting.
Palin has to face the fact that people are mean. Politics is a brutal business. She receives criticism over her jewelry - "how much flag jewelry can she buy?" was a comment I saw on a left wing blog - and her good looks, her independence, her career record, her experience level, her speaking fees and travel expenses, etc. Unfortunately, it goes with the territory and when you are competing at the top of the heap, it only gets more intense. The left despise her and a lot of it has to do with the fact that Palin and her family are happy and secure human beings. Conservative human beings. The left loves to be miserable.
If I were advising Palin, and I am only as an observant and concerned Republican activist, I would ask that she not run for the Presidency in 2012. I would advise her to continue on with the life she has now. In the long term, it is as good as it will get. She is making boatloads of money, she freely travels, she has a reality television show for outreach to millions each week, she writes, she has a gig with FOX News Channel as a contributor. It's all the freedom with little of the constraints of the highest office.
And, as others have concluded, I don't think she would beat Obama in 2012. I appreciate her self-confidence and positive self esteem as she tells interviewers that she thinks she could beat him. Both of them are strong competitors as sports players are. It would be a tough match-up but in the end she would lose. Her numbers are just as grave as his in many polls. She is just as polarizing as he is.
Palin can serve her country - her party - best as a fundraiser and cheerleader. She's a crowd pleaser who brings out huge audiences to listen to her message, a traditionally Republican message. She straddles the fence as a darling of the Tea Party movement, too. She's savvy and knows how to capitalize on her time in the spotlight. More power to her. She encourages conservative women to get out there in the process and get out the vote. She encourages women to run for office. For that alone, I thank her from the bottom of my heart.

Thanks, Maria. Hope today finds you healing and resting. Speedy recovery!

I don't want her to run either. She would be good inside the Republican administration that takes over in 2012, but not as president or vice.
