|Alex Darras sports a brace on his right knee as a result of his summer internship, more or less.
Sewanee athletics photo
By Brian Lester
Alex Darras has had an interest in medicine for quite some time.
A player who battled injuries in high school and then tore his ACL last season as a sophomore in college, the Sewanee quarterback figured, based off his experience, that the medical field would be worth looking into as a profession.
This past summer he had a chance to spend a couple of months shadowing the doctor who performed his ACL surgery last season and that further cemented his belief that a career in medicine is for him.
"Being on the patient side really piqued my interest, and after the summer, being on the medical side of it confirmed everything I've felt about it," Darras said.
Darras is now a junior for the Tigers and off to a solid start to his season, guiding Sewanee to a 2-1 record and earning player of the week honors in the SAA after leading his team to a 28-20 win over Austin College in the conference opener Saturday.
But late last season, the story was different. Seven weeks into the season, Darras went down in the game against Birmingham-Southern. His season ended that night. He was running down the sideline and injured his knee as he was tackled.
"At that point in the season, I was really comfortable with the offense and hit that groove that I had been waiting for," Darras said. "I was on the same page with the receivers and our offense had really started to click. It put things in perspective for me. Some guys who have an injury like that are going to hang it up, but I realized how much I loved the game and was willing to do what I had to to stay in it."
Jeremy Bruce, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine, performed the surgery on Darras. He was also the team doctor for the high school Darras played for, so the relationship between the two was tight.
So it made sense for him to reach out to Bruce in the spring about following him around over the summer and gain a better understanding of everything being a doctor entailed.
"I was looking to do an internship or something in research, but I was a little behind applying for things through school, so I talked with him and he said he would love to have me in his office," Darras said. "I had a chance to shadow him and even watch some surgeries."
Sewanee coach Travis Rundle thought it was a great experience for his quarterback and noted it says a lot about Darras as a student-athlete.
"He's an amazing leader and an example for others to follow," Rundle said. "Everyone sees how hard he works. He interacts with guys well and is a demanding player. It's easy to see why he was voted a captain as a junior."
Darras enjoyed the time he had with Bruce over the summer. He learned a lot about the commitment a doctor must have to excel in the profession.
"You see how much they really do on a day-to-day basis," Darras said. "People don't understand all of the things a doctor has to do for each patient, especially the doctor I was working with. He's very personable and that helps patients trust him, but it takes time to build that personal connection with those patients and treat them based on what they want to get done and the expectations they have."
"I could relate to those athletes. If a senior came in and his surgery was optional and he wanted to play through it, I could understand that because I know how he feels."
— Sewanee quarterback Alex Darras, pre-med major
Darras had a chance to build relationships with some of the patients. He saw several athletes come in with injuries and could relate to what they were going through. After all, it wasn't too long ago that he was in the position they were in.
"I could relate to those athletes. If a senior came in and his surgery was optional and he wanted to play through it, I could understand that because I know how he feels," Darras said.
As a quarterback, Darras is tasked with solving problems. Maybe it's reading the defense and thinking about the play he's going to run or changing up the play at the line of scrimmage. That experience translated to a medical setting as well.
"Every day you learned little things, ways to understand or approach problems. If a patient came to you with a problem, it's up to you to solve it," Darras said. "I think that's the big thing I learned in the medical field because it applies to life on the field and off it."
Darras is making the right decisions on the field more often than not. He leads the league in completions (68) and completion percentage (61.8). He has thrown for 789 yards and six touchdowns.
"His decision making has really improved," Rundle said. "He knows where to go with the ball. Last year he had a pretty good idea, but now he knows exactly where to go. He also great chemistry with his teammates and has a tight bond with the team."
Rundle knows what it means to be an NCAA Division III athlete. His dad, Craig Rundle, is in his 22nd and final season as head coach at Albion and Travis was a two-time All-MIAA quarterback for the Britons.
"I love seeing kids have a chance to pursue opportunities off the field," Travis Rundle said. "I tell kids all of the time they can do anything they want academically, athletically and socially. It's a great thing for athletes at this level."
Darras is looking forward the remainder of this season, hoping to lead the Tigers into contention for the conference championship.
He has a bright future off the field as well. His dream is to be in sports medicine one day. And when the day comes to finally go to medical school, he'll be a step or two ahead of his peers.
"It's amazing. Even in just those two months, I learned more than I could have with any other opportunity," Darras said. "On my last day, (Bruce) told me that with everything I've learned, I could probably skip the first year or two of medical school. To have that opportunity and have a chance to interact with patients and figure out what was wrong and why they were coming in. It's big for what I want to do in the future getting into medicine."

This chapter describes the Cisco NX-OS commands that begin with P that are used to manage a Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender from a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch.
To specify the number of statically pinned uplinks, use the pinning max-links command. To reset to the default, use the no form of this command.
Number of uplinks. The range is from 1 to 8. The default is 1.
This command is applicable only if the Fabric Extender is connected to its parent switch using one or more statically pinned fabric interfaces.
Fabric extender configuration mode
The number of uplinks is extended to 8.
Note In releases prior to Cisco NX-OS Release 4.2(1)N1(1), the maximum number of uplinks was 4.
Use the pinning max-links command when you create a number of pinned fabric interface connections to enable the parent switch to determine a distribution of host interfaces. The host interfaces are divided by the number of uplinks and distributed accordingly.
This example shows how to specify the number of statically pinned uplinks for a Fabric Extender:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# fex 101
switch(config-fex)# pinning max-links 4
This example shows how to revert to the uplink count to the default for a Fabric Extender:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# fex 101
switch(config-fex)# no pinning max-links
Creates a Fabric Extender and enters fabric extender configuration mode.
Displays all configured Fabric Extender chassis connected to the switch.
To preprovision a module in a chassis slot, use the provision command. To remove a preprovisioned module from a slot, use the no form of this command.
no provision model [ model-name ]
Module name. The supported modules are as follows:
Slot configuration mode
Switch profile configuration mode
Use this command to define the modules (line card or Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extender) to preprovision. If the card type does not match the card in the slot or the module is not compatible with the chassis, you see the following messages:
You can configure features or interfaces (Ethernet, Fibre Channel) on the modules before the modules are inserted in the switch chassis. You can also use this command to manage the configuration of these features or interfaces when the module is offline due to a failure or scheduled downtime. These configurations are applied when the module comes online.
When you preprovision a module by specifying the type of module, platform manager will allow only modules of matching type to come online. If you configure the interfaces for the module without specifying the module type, the configuration is applied when the module comes online, regardless of the module type.
You can preprovision modules and interfaces in a switch profile. The modules and interfaces are preprovisioned when you apply (commit) the switch profile. Once the module is inserted and interfaces are created, the preprovisioning module passes on the configuration to the respective applications before the interfaces come up.
Mutual exclusion is a mechanism where configuration outside the switch profile is not allowed in the switch profile and vice-versa. This requirement is to ensure that configuration in the switch profile is exactly the same on both switches. Preprovisioned configuration is the same as a configuration when the module is online, so mutual exclusion checks would continue to apply normally.
When you downgrade from Cisco NX-OS release 5.0(2)N1(1), which supports preprovisioning, to an earlier release of Cisco NX-OS that does not support module preprovisioning, you will be prompted to remove preprovisioning configuration that you configured on the switch.
This example shows how to preprovision a module in slot 2 of the chassis:
This example shows how to remove a preprovisioned module from a chassis slot:
This example shows how to remove all preprovisioned modules or line cards from a chassis slot:
Displays the running configuration excluding the preprovisioned features.

Decorative wall paneling kinds add 3d photos and create nice illusions and create spectacular visible results. Usually two shutter panels are used over a window unless the windows are tall and slim during which case four panels work greatest.
All sides of the double sided panels would be fabricated from a special cloth to complement the décor of the room or area the panel was dealing with.

Stained glass provides another dimension to a room, throwing beautiful patterns of light onto partitions and floors, giving a feeling of heat and vibrancy.

Creative Tips:
1. The Eggcellent Eggs Kit from the Occasions Mini catalog does more than decorate eggs. Just look at this fun Easter card. The kit is full of great accessories to adorn your favorite projects this Easter. The flowers are die cut from four different soft subtle designer paper patterns. It also includes one sheet of leaves to add to all of your posies. The rhinestones are a fun way to add a little sparkle and are also part of the kit.
2. The scalloped edge around the circle was added using an egg stand from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit. Scallop each side and distress by dragging it back and forth along your table edge. Cut it in half and run through your Crimper. Apply Sticky Tape to the back of the circle around the outside edge. Begin wrapping the scallop edge strip. The distressed crimped paper becomes easy to wrap around different shapes. Try using the technique on an oval.
3. The sentiment was stamped and embossed with White Embossing Powder. The added swirls are rub-ons from the Eggcellent Eggs Kit. The border across the top of the card was also added from the same sheet. With two sheets of rub-ons you can decorate a dozen eggs and several matching cards.

Florian's Travels: Haas, Paire Fall in Stuttgart; Fognini Thru
(July 13, 2013) Four of the five top seeds, including three Germans, were in action at Friday's quarterfinals at the 35th edition of the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart.
In the first match of a beautiful sunny day at the Weissenhof Club, two unseeded players met each other for the first time. Roberto Bautista-Agut faced Michael Berrer, who was born in Stuttgart and entered the tournament by a wild card. The German played aggressively right from the beginning and tried to find his way to the net as often as possible. The Spaniard needed some time to respond to the attacking style of his opponent.
In the sixth game Bautista broke Berrer's serve for the first time when he hit some nice passing shots. With another break in the eighth game, the Spaniard took the opening set 6-2 after just 29 minutes. During the changeover, Berrer took a medical time-out and received some treatment to his left elbow and arm. This seemed to help the German break serve in the first game of the second set, but that's where his luck ended.
After this short feeling of success, however, Berrer was forced to retire.
"I felt pain in my elbow when I was serving and so it was useless to go on," explained Berrer in his press conference. "Yesterday, I noticed it for the first time and I got treatment but this morning I could hardly brush my teeth."
For the tournament's local player, it was bitter decision.
"There were so many people here in Stuttgart who wanted to see me play," Berrer continued. "I could have given at least seventeen tickets away to friends. This also means that I'm out for the qualification in Hamburg but I hope that it will be better in four to five days."
Berrer also had to withdraw from his scheduled doubles semifinal with his partner Andreas Beck thereby giving their opponents, Tomasz Bednarek and Mateusz Kowalczyk, a walkover into the final on Sunday.
In the second match of the day, Victor Hanescu extended his head-to-head advantage against tournament No. 4 seed, Benoit Paire to 4-0. The Romanian won the encounter after 71 minutes with a score of 7-5, 6-2.
The Frenchman lost an even opening set when he faced his first break points of the match, and let it get away from him. As a consequence and in typical Paire style, the Frenchman hit the ball clear out of center court, also giving him an expected warning by the chair umpire.
Paire never really recovered from that and lost his service in the fourth game of the second set with a double fault. From then on the "Big Paire-show" began in terms of moaning, complaining and even smashing his racket, which meant the 24-year-old was given a point penalty.
After the match, Hanescu admitted that it might have been the key to his win that he stayed focused during Paire's tantrums — when he wasn't really sure about what was going on, on the other side of the net. The Romanian added: "Sometimes I wasn't really sure if he was playing on or just making show."
In the afternoon, it was time for the marquee match of the day which featured top seed Tommy Haas against No. 5 seed Fabio Fognini.
Given that Tommy Haas' manager, Edwin Weindorfer, is also the Mercedes Cup's tournament director, it was no surprise to find the German's face plastered on every poster, t-shirt and cap.
On an almost fully packed center court, the 35-year-old Haas appeared in his ninth ATP World Tour quarterfinal of the year facing Fognini for the first time. The Italian had a great start and began to hit some nice backhand winners. The German veteran was under pressure in every service game. Consequently, he lost his serve in the third and seventh games, allowing Fognini to close the set out in only 31 minutes.
Seven minutes later Haas gained his first break point of the match but couldn't capitalize on it. So it was the fifth-seeded Italian again who got the break in the seventh game. Fognini served the match out 6-2, 6-4 after 74 minutes and finished the "Haas-hype" in Stuttgart.
"It wasn't my best day for sure," said a calm Haas after the encounter. "I tried to find a rhythm and I fought for that. There were also some unlucky calls today. It is always difficult with the umpires on clay. I'm disappointed that it doesn't go on for me here in Stuttgart."
Haas will next play at the German Open in Hamburg and also revealed what he did with the car he won earlier this year at the BMW Open in Munich: "I sold it!" Luckily for Haas, he won't have the problem of finding a buyer for the tournament winner's car this time, a Mercedes.
All the German hopes have now switched to Philipp Kohlschreiber, the last remaining German left. The second-seed held a 1-8 career head-to-head disadvantage against Gael Monfils, but today the German was able to improve this stat.
Kohlschreiber gained two breaks in the third and seventh games of the first set, and Monfils could only get one back. The Frenchman then had the chance to even the set at 5-5, but the German ended up serving out the set after 38 minutes.
The second set became a copy of the first, with Kohlschreiber again up two breaks up. He eventually sealed victory after 70 minutes, 6-4, 6-4 to reach his first ever semifinal in Stuttgart.

Learn live over the internet via Teams/Skype! Attend our instructor-led courses in real time from anywhere
Wherever you are on Planet Earth you can attend a live instructor-led class, learning MIM, Azure or PAM.
Take your training live via Teams/Skype, it's "just like being in the classroom!"
To join a live instructor-led class via the internet in real time all you need is an internet connection and you're right there with us; much a part of the class as those physically sitting in the classroom. We provide you with a virtual machine and a soft copy of the complete courseware, and the instructor is there for you in real time exactly as if they were in front of you.
Our instructors are experienced in teaching 'remotely' via Teams/Skype, so you will be included in any class discussions as you work through the course materials.
You don't even have to be in the same time zone to attend remotely!
Callum said:
Fantastic as always. Paul is an amazing teacher and really takes the time to help you understand inherently complex technologies. This is the first time I have attended a class 'remotely'. It's a very nice and convenient way of learning.
Om said:
I found the training very informative and right to the point. The advantage of me attending this course via Skype was that I could carry on with labs and revision after the classroom session had ended.
Phil said:
Very happy. Never been in a class this way but it worked out well.
And Kevin told us:
The course experience was superb. I appreciate being able to participate remotely. This is the second course I have participated remotely and highly recommend it. It was just like being in the classroom!
The advantages of learning remotely are many. You won't have the time and expense of travelling to join the class, but you still get the direct interaction with the tutor and your classmates, and can raise questions as you go along. While the flexibility of online, self-paced training works for many students, others greatly value the discipline of attending in real time. There can be no excuses – your instructor expects you to be there and to participate fully.
If you haven't already got very comfortable headphones with an integral microphone, we recommend you invest in some. No matter where you are sitting – in your study, your office or even at your kitchen table – they will help you to focus on your learning and become part of the class.
All our courses (except the Identity Masterclass) can be attended remotely, so wherever our schedule says the class is taking place – Oxford, UK; Redmond or Bothell, WA; or The Hague, NL – you can also add your own location, whether that's Austin or Australia, Zandvoort or Zambia.
We schedule our courses in local time: so Redmond/Bothell courses are scheduled in Pacific time, and Oxford courses UK time.

The holiday season is upon us and, as the classic song says, it really is "the most wonderful time of the year." The sparkling lights along with the sounds of holiday music and the nervous chatter of children waiting to meet Santa are instant reminders of the season. The scents of gingerbread and fresh pine decorations fill the air and make everything feel festive. In our fast-paced, modern lives some people forego those fresh pine decorations and put up artificial arrangements to save precious time. But there's really nothing quite like the look and smell of fresh, live decorations and trees.
Drier. Cleaner. Healthier.

Gearing up to face a tougher future17-Apr-2013
The contemporary market place is becoming increasingly demanding and the regulation thereof by means of legislation has a major impact on the food industry. The commencement of the Consumer Protection Act as well as the Labelling Act put a bigger costing pressure on the food industry. The extent to which the government will regulate and bring these acts into use will have a decisive influence on how the food industry will look like in a few years' time.
Unfortunately it will be impossible for a large portion of manufacturers in the industry to continue doing business and the costs will be too high for the smaller manufacturers. This predicament came upon us sooner than we had anticipated. Our clients are pressuring us for food safety audits to indemnify them from any actions taken against them. However, after spending more than R3 million on its processing plant since August 2012, we are now on par with hygiene and safety standards.

But I didn't want to risk having any trouble after staying in Bridgeport all day just for the chance to see & hear Bishop
We almost got to see Bishop TD Jakes speak on Thursday nite
Lil Man fell asleep about 5 minutes before he got on stage & I had to leave about 5 minutes when Bishop got started
It was a crazy tiring but kind of fun day for me & Lil Man walking around Bridgeport while we waited for us to be able to get into the Harbor-Yard Arena
Bridgeport makes me kind of think of NYC & is doing a better job of trying to revitalize than Hartford is doing because it's trying to make & keep living space as well as business space downtown & not just big business but small businesses
What they are lacking is small family eat in style type places like Friendly's ice cream or Old Country Buffet to eat & there's limited shopping –
no big CVS or Walgreens although they do have a small Rite Aid drug store there & of course McDonalds & KFC,
Lil Man swears he saw a Burger King but I never did
I knew that Rita had to be lying about TD Jakes going to the tiny hole in the wall church that she was attending with Jerome's mother & sisters & cousins –
when they announced that Bishop was coming onto the stage they were talking about how he's not been to CT in years &
when he had come in the past he wasn't known like he is now,
the arena wasn't filled to capacity but it did have several thousand people there
& the main reason that it wasn't filled to capacity was due to them not putting forth publicity
& allowing for people to get the free tickets even when coming into the arena once it was started which they should've done –
because they didn't it was commented on stage that some people were going to have to deal with God about the fact they sold tickets which had been given for free
if they had then Byron could've stayed to see Bishop too & we could've gotten the car jumped afterwards when the service ended
I'm really thankful that Byron came even thou he came early
Normally they don't allow people back nto the Arena after they've gone in but since it was Bishop the one really nice guy at the door said I could
When I explained to him why Byron had showed up & that Byron had come such a distance to jump the car
By the time that we got the car jumped & Byron said I'd have to let it run a bit to get a charge
So we chatted while it charged & figured that it was already 930p so by the time I walked back to the Arena Bishop would be finishing up
So we just left & headed back homewards & he brought Lil Man upstairs & put him into bed
CT is trying to get resparked in religion I guess – about time – the Northeast is in Need of Revival
not only did td jakes get here with singer Marvin Sap but next week Kirk Franklin is coming to 1st cathedral –
you know that big new church at the corner of blue hills with the school & the scrolling sign outside –
the tickets for Kirk Franklin are $29 & $39 according to the recording – 1-888-971-2047
now unfortunately due to the poor publicity & high ticket prices I doubt they'll get as big of a crowd as they normally could get but they'll fill the church I'm sure –
it would be nice to see them go into the old civic center or the new convention center but they need more planning on the publicity side to make that happen
I'm pretty sure that they could fill it if they did such an event but it seems that people in this area have poor planning skills
But it would be so great to start seeing Revival come to CT especially to Hartford's new convention center or the Meadows outdoor venue
& the preachers like Bishop T D Jakes, Pastor John Hagee, Paula White, Joyce Myers, Pastor Rod Parsley to name a few good well known preachers
Pastor Luis Palau with his youth ministry & I'm not sure who the minister is who has the other big youth ministry
Ok enough about what I'd love to see happen & onto our adventure
7am we were heading out to gas up the wagon
I wasn't happy with the cost of the gas $2.97 gal but it was better than $3+ which is what they have in NY state
We were in Bridgeport by 8:15 am & standing in line by 8:35am
traffic wasn't too bad until we hit a few of the city exchanges like 84 & 91 connection & the 91 & 95 connection
the only fault that I had with the online directions which I had Byron print was that I wasn't prepared for the exit number –
27 or 27A but actually that was more on the highway signage rather than the directions
because I'd never been to Bridgeport before I got just a bit confused once I got off the highway
again that's due to poor signage in Bridgeport,
but I did find parking on the street not far from the Arena for FREE – something that you can't find in downtown Hartford!
Had the church's website told the truth of the time of the tickets being given out I'd have brought out our chairs from the car
But the church website said the tickets would be given out at 9am not the 10am time which they posted on a hand written sign there
The line was long, but nice & quiet considering the number of people there
Once they finally started giving out the tickets shortly after 10am
the line moved pretty quickly considering the number of people in line & only 1 ticket per person
Lil Man & I headed back to the car to pick up a snack for him
Then we went out to do a small bit of exploring
We'd walk around for a while & then go back to the car to sit & give my legs a break
We discovered 3 parks during our walks
One which is downtown in the middle of things with trees & benches
Nice & it seemed to have an area where it would be nice for artisans & musicians to perform & / or play during the day
The PlayHouse on the Green was across the street from this park
We ventured around further & asked one of the security guards about a Friendly's type eating place
But he said that there wasn't one around unless I got in the car & drove along way down
Since I didn't want to attempt to drive without a map of the city I just decided if we'd be able to walk a bit & find someplace to eat
During our venture out we came across the Old Savoy Hotel
I had to taek a picture of it on the way back to the car
Shame to see a hotel that I've only known from old movies in such disarray & abandoned
Wish I had the money to be able to buy it & then have fun trying to restore it for the new century
Past the Savoy we came upon park number 2
Lil Man had a ball just running chasing the birds & paying with the sculptures
There were 3 but the 3rd one had been broken off & removed
The pretty façade that sorta makes you think of old times according to Lil Man
Hid in fact a homeless colony – I told Lil Man that since there was stuff there that we should leave
I didn't see anyone there but definitely there was 3 different places marked out –
shame that in America we have homeless people but at least these have found a "safe" place to sleep
I guess it's another reason that Bridgeport made me think of NYC Hartford tries to pretend they don't have homeless but they do as well
The homeless just don't have pretty places to call their home & have to sleep under the highway overpasses
We had quite a time walking & just chit chatting as best as a 5 yr old can chit chat about life
After spending a small bit of time at the park we traveled back slowly towards the car & hopefully food
Stopping at the Savoy for pictures on the way back we crossed the street to get a better view
We enjoyed the trees in the direct downtown section where the majority of the construction was going on
But as we had walked further out the reconstruction hadn't yet gotten to making that as nice
So we were getting a bit hot, tired & hungry
Stopping at Rite Aid was quite disappointing considering how the CVS & Walgreens stores
around us in Hartford & surrounding area are all much bigger stores & seem to have a whole lot more to offer in the way of goods
but I think that's why I have always preferred CVS & Walgreens over Rite Aide to start with
so the franchise people need to look at going in to the area
I did love the fact that many of the businesses seemed to be small store front owners but that there was housing over top
Hartford needs to do more of that to help keep people in the downtown after the insurance companies close at nites
Lil Man & I stopped at KFC to pick up a 6 piece meal for lunch & dinner
Then we walked back to the car to eat
I loved the fact that our parking space was so close to the arena, but unfortunately there was no shade where we parked
So while we were eating I tried to run the ac & the cd player –
OK I now know that was a big mistake, but I wasn't sure if we'd get in trouble trying to eat in the grove of trees on the corner
It was wonderfully cool looking but it was on a tight corner angle
With traffic heading towards the highway entrance which was a block up
I didn't think it was quite safe enough for me & Lil Man to be in case a car jumped the curb
Or if Lil Man decided to try to chase birds & not pay attention & run into the street
Afetr we spent time relaxing in the car from our lunch we headed back out to park #1
Stayed there for a bit & then walked to Rite Aid to pick up a cold 2 liter bottle of soda
Again disappointment since there was none cold in their cooler section
So we headed back to the car for our cups & to let my legs rest
After going for along time away from the arena I decided to test out whats in the direction opposite
So we headed out towards the arena to check on what time they'd be opening up the doors
It was about 3pm by then & the guys were starting to set up the line things
The 1st guy who answered said 7pm but that's when the event started
The 2nd guy said no the doors open to get seats at 530p
So we walked & walked & thought how pretty it was to see they had houses near the arena
As well as a couple of churches which weren't open for business right then
(ok my mind is constantly going, I thought it would've been nice for those churches to be having a bake sale or something
I mean we weren't the only people from out of town & it could've been a good chance for them to show off
what Bridgeport has to offer as well as a way to make a small bit of money for the churchs that were in walking distance to the arena)
SaeSide Park was nice considering just how much it was visible that Bridgeport is a depressed city
Closed up businesses all along the one side & falling apart ware houses
The benches were in ok condition but not so comfortable looking
I didn't take pictures of the Remington Steele building or the othrs
Had I known that I wasn't suppose to bring a camera into the arena I would've
But I was saving my last 2 & ½ disks for when we got inside hoping to be able to get a picture of Bishop & Marvin Sap
Lil Man had a great time walking along & seeing the ocean
Of course being a 5yr old he commented on the smell of the ocean &
screamed in disgusted delight over the fish tail we found dropped by a bird
by the time we found the playground area it was near time for us to go back to get in line for the event
had I known about how long that line was going to be &
the fact we'd have to get out of line to bring the camera to the car
I'd have just stayed at the park then gone to drop off the camera & then gone into the arena after they'd opened the doors
In spite of the fact there were so many Free ttickets being given away
We were able to get good seats which was certainly a shock for me
I guess it was around 6p by the time we got inside
Lil Man had a ball during the praise & worship singing that they had
& when they had testimony he sat nicely
because we had end seats he was able to sing & dance to his lilttle hearts content
Lil Man gave all of us a laugh when he tried to catch the lady who was carrying the offering bucket
He lost sight of her & started heading towards the stage
But he was able to deiver the offering & even brave enough not to cry as I was heading down towards him
He was so set on accomplishing his mission he was about to get lost
Boy 5yr olds can run fast when on a mission
The Harbor-Yard Arena was certainly God's House Thrusday nite
The service was excellent even thou I didn't get the hear Bishop speak for more than 5 minutes or so
It was beautiful to see white black & Hispanic all together worshipping God
Even thou Lil Man fell asleep 5 minutes before Bishop was even introduced
& Byron showed up about 5 minutes into Bishop getting on stage
I was Blessed to have been there & enjoyed all that I did get to see. Hear & experience
I know that Lil Man enjoyed himself as well
Well I'm going to end this
you'll see from the pics we had a day full of Adventure
& this is the ned of what the pictures detail

Numerical Simulation and Experimental Validation of Residual Stresses in Water-Quenched Aluminum Alloy Castings
Document Type
Publication Date
Publication Title
Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance
Aluminum alloy castings are normally water quenched after solution treatment to improve mechanical properties. Rapid water quenching can result in high-residual stress and severe distortion which significantly affect functionality and performance of the products. To optimize product design and durability, one needs to model and predict residual stress and distortion produced in the water-quenched components. In this article, a finite element-based approach was developed to simulate the transient heat transfer and residual stress development during water quenching. In this approach, an iterative zone-based heat transfer algorithm was coupled with material constitutive model called mechanical threshold stress (MTS). With the integrated models, a good agreement was achieved between the numerically predicted and the experimentally measured residual stresses in the aluminum alloy frame-shape casting. The integrated FEA-based heat transfer and residual stress models were also applied to a water-quenched cast aluminum cylinder head with a great success.

Where do you want to visit in Miami
Wynwood Walls
2 Hours
Estimated Time
Wynwood is a neighborhood in Miami, Florida. Wynwood is best known for being a prominent entertainment district, dotted with artwork, restaurants, breweries, clothing stores, dance venues, among other retail options. Formerly an industrial district, the area is highlighted by colorful murals that cover the walls of many of the buildings. It is north of Downtown Miami and Overtown, and adjacent to Edgewater. Wynwood has two major sub-districts, the Wynwood Art District in northern Wynwood, and the Wynwood Fashion District along West 5th Avenue. Wynwood is roughly divided by North 20th Street to the south, I-195 to the north, I-95 to the west and the Florida East Coast Railway to the east.Wynwood was long referred to as "Little San Juan", and commonly known as "El Barrio" as many Puerto Ricans began immigrating to this Miami neighborhood from the island and northeastern cities in the 1950s. Puerto Rican-owned restaurants, shops, markets and other businesses line the streets of Wynwood. Since the early 2000s, the neighborhood has seen a rising amount of investments and attention, expanding the scope of the region. The Midtown Miami development construction began in 2005 between North 29th and 36th Street and Miami Avenue and the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) on what was historically an FEC rail yard. This brought renewed attention to the area, and previously abandoned warehouses have begun to be occupied by artists, restaurants, cafés, and lounges. Tony Goldman, a developer, also assisted in the growth of Wynwood by creating a mecca out of the already present graffiti. In 2009, artists commissioned by Goldman helped create the Wynwood Walls. Located in the Wynwood Art District, this is an outdoor exhibition of rotating street art.

Graha Lakon Office Building by Andyrahman Architect
From the outside, a harmony-contrary element can be seen from the juxtaposition of brick material and the ethnic wood panels with a random impression. Both elements were neatly arranged and contained small panels, but we can find its contrary power within the arrangement between the organized and the random. It happened also in the juxtaposition of bricks and the contemporary element (concrete, glass, iron), as the locality and globality (which actually contrary) come together but still can be harmony in this design. Thus made both tension and intimacy come up within them.

14 executives in fray for top PFC job1 min read . Updated: 28 Dec 2007, 03:17 PM IST
14 executives in fray for top PFC job
14 executives in fray for top PFC job
New Delhi: Fourteen executives from NTPC, BHEL, NHPC and other state-run enterprises are in the race for the top post of Power Finance Corporation, the country's prime lender in power sector which went public early this year.
Those in the fray include three Power Finance Corp (PFC) officials believed to be among the front-runners for the post of the company's chairman and managing director, as the present Chief VK Garg retires on July 31 next year.
Sources said PFC director (finance) Satnam Singh, director (institutional development & administration) M K Goel, and executive director (HR, administration and projects) Rajeev Sharma are among the top contenders for the PFC top job.
Goel took over as PFC director (IDA) on 27 July this year. Prior to this, he was executive director (projects) in the company. Sharma (46) joined PFC in August 2005, while Singh (48) joined in 1996 as deputy general manager, finance.
Others in the running include NTPC director (finance) A K Singhal and his counterpart in BHEL C S Verma.
Hindustan Paper Ltd CMD Raji Philip, who is also said to have contended for CMD posts at BHEL and NTPC, would also appear for an interview for PFC's top job, to be conducted by Public Enterprises Selection Board (PESB) on 21 January 2008.
Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam chairman and managing director H K Sharma, Mineral Exploration Corp's A K Lomas, Cement Corp CMD A K Srivastava, NHPC director (personnel) S K Chaturvedi, and Engineers India Ltd director (finance) D S Chakravarty would also take a shot at the top position of PFC.
PFC, which got navratna status this year, made a stellar debut on the bourses early 2007, getting listed at a 22% premium to the offer price of Rs85 per share.
Shares of the company were at Rs256.50, up 1.14% on the Bombay Stock Exchange in morning trade.
Besides PFC, a hunt for heads of two other power firms — NTPC, and PGCIL — has also begun. NTPC's T Sankaralingam and PGCIL's R P Singh are set to retire in April and July respectively next year.

Travel Conveniently with the Help of Travel AgentsOn December 14, 2013 by Marie Gizelle
"My hubby's recent trip to Northern California was a little bit shorter than last time. He didn't get to use a travel agent to book his trip but my husband got to stay with a friend's family the whole time (thank you so much, Red) ^_^. It was quite convenient.
You don't always have a friend or relative in every state. Therefore, it is best to consult with experienced travelers and travel agents for the best options. For example, if you want to visit North Carolina and you live in Seattle, you should use a professional Charlotte travel agent for help in planning your upcoming trip."
Even though many of us are Internet savvy, there is a lot of organization required when planning a honeymoon, vacation or even an emergency trip to see friends and family. In most cases, you will have to call several companies such as the airlines, hotels and car rental businesses. When using a travel agent, you can make one call and everything is taken care of. Travel agents have all the information necessary right at the tip of their fingers to assist you with your trip organization.
Some people have the wrong conception that travel agents charge for their services. In almost all cases, this isn't true. Yes, the travel agent is paid for their services, but in most cases not by the client. The ones who pay for their services are the travel companies. Only on a rare circumstance will there be extra charges added to your deal. This means you aren't paying extra for a holiday or vacation package when using an agent. Because there is no commission paid, you don't have to do the booking yourself because you won't be getting a cheaper price.
It's very beneficial to use the services of a travel agent. You always receive the best advice, and the travel agent will have either been to your destination before or booked it before for several clients. This gives them more firsthand knowledge, tips and advice to pass along to you. They will offer you many options for availability, pricing and personal preferences. The information they have available will make your trip more comfortable and convenient. Additionally, you have customer service available while planning and traveling on your trip. Never discount the true importance of having that contact person available if things go wrong or not according to your original plan.
Best of all, you receive personal service and a trip customized based on your budget, preferences, special attractions you want to visit and the dates that you want to travel. A travel agent wants your business and will do anything to ensure you are satisfied. Even in today's world where we can easily do these things ourselves, it is still beneficial to use a professional agent to take care of your trip.

Whenever I fly to Manila, I don't book for hotels or anything since I have lots of relatives that I can stay for a short while. But now that I am planning to go to Bangkok for a little reward to myself, I consulted few travel agents and I keep comparing which offers the best itinerary and affordable price! 🙂

Travel agents do save us a lot of time because they can give us suggestions to make our trip brief and special! ^_^
It's a plus having family /friends living in your vacation destination as they always offer free accommodation. In my past life (pre-marriage, that is), I always took the offer, but the 13+ years that I've been married I've learned to decline offers because of husband. He feels we're causing chaos/inconvenience. Thank God we've neto lost friends coz of this. 🙂
Travel agents are still great to peruse no matter how much info there is available for us. I've learned that lesson on a previous vacation. There are hidden gems/precautions that you can't obtain online.
Travel agents are a great help especially in finding deals.
Jessica Cassidy
Travel agent is very necessary when we travel. The travel agents will do anything to make your travel comfortable than doing it by ourselves. I used the travel agent the last time we traveled 🙂
Family bonding is truly essential for a child's psychological well-being. Kudos for being such good parents. 😀
Fernando Lachica
Travel agencies are very helpful with your travel plans. if possible, an early transaction for them may be fulfilled in advance.

Artist Editions: Seldon Hunt X UO
Designed exclusively for Urban Outfitters, Artist Editions is an ongoing series of limited edition graphic t-shirts created by a rotating roster of artists from around the globe.
Known for his rock graphics, Australian artist Seldon Hunt has created intricate artworks for bands like Neurosis, Earth, and the Melvins. We caught up with him at his Brooklyn studio space to chat about his latest work.
Photos by Tavish Timothy
Who is Seldon Hunt?
Thats a good question. I'm an Australian who moved to NYC ten years ago to pursue a more active creative career. Most of my clients, and especially the creative culture I was working, in were based in the US, so it seemed like a logical journey. I was pretty much unknown in Australia at the time and was frustrated with a lack of opportunities. So here I am ten years on.
When did you first start creating art? Was there a moment when you knew you wanted to be an artist as your profession?
I started creating art in design school outside the syllabus. I guess this was the start. After a couple of obligatory years of working in design firms and traveling I came back to creating art. I wasn't sure I could make a career out of it. In some ways, I was late to the whole creative process as I didn't really even start drawing until my late 20's. I was commissioned to create a CD cover by a legendary Japanese noise artist after he saw my work. I think this moment I gave me the impetus to pursue art as a career.
Your work is known for its density and intricate detail— what did your earliest works look like and how has your style evolved over the years?
My earliest work was very rough and chaotic and I guess heavily influenced by the deconstructed typography of the early '90s when I studied design, lots of chopped up heavily layered abstract Adobe Illustrator! The dense intricacy that I became known for was a refined version of of the earlier works, layering grids and reflections in Illustrator, and printing these on an offset press using similiar techniques they use to print currency. It was pretty cool fun and some of the results were startling. I then started doing a lot of tour posters for metal bands and turned to collaging biological illustrations to reflect the symmetry of nature and chaos. After a couple of years, I started to draw my own material and this led to other work doing more illustration work for black metal bands etc. I guess I've completely stopped using the computer for illustration, everything I do is hand drawn now.
Nature is featured prominently in both your illustrations and your photography. What is it about these natural elements that appeal to you?
The nature that has appeared in my illustration stems back to when I studied biology in college for two years before I turned to design. When I first started doing screen printing I went back to that college and used a lot of the reference books of early 20C anatomy and flora, mostly as I thought it looked cool and weird and strangely alien, especially the microscopic flora and fauna. It suited the music I was working with and I guess that alienesque aspect of the hidden natural world has stayed with me. The photography is more about capturing a sense of desolation, fear and doom, that I find in landscapes, the absence of humanity, the utter silence of the woods... That has been more of a reflection of my works with black metal culture over the years.
You've created work for some of the best metal bands out there. What first drew you to heavy music and darker themes?
Ive pretty much always listened to metal, going back to the 80's. So I dont know what originally drew me to it, as it feels like thats always been the music I listened to, but I guess Ive always had an interest in darker themes since I was quite young, from literature to film etc. I've always enjoyed solitude and found a lot of solace in bleak spaces, winter beaches, industrial estates, anywhere kind of desolate, since I was a kid!
How did you go about getting involved in that scene? It's seriously the best. Did you know the bands personally or did you work through the labels?
I did some work for a few noise acts out of Japan then travelled around the world back packing for a year, taking some samples of work with me. While in Europe I was commissioned to do another Japanese artists cover work through a Belgian label so I went there to do the project (this is before the days of laptops). That same label distributed most of the the music you're talking about, so I was introduced to a couple of bands via email and I visited them in the states just on a casual basis, and one thing led to another in terms of doing art for them and subsequent related artists. Most of these bands were unknown at the times so it was an interesting journey (and somewhat of a dream come true) to be part of a scene/movement that became internationally recognized..
Can you tell us a bit about your designs for Artist Editions? How did the ideas come about?
Well, firstly I wanted to create something fun without losing the darker theme, considering UO is not a metal band! I wanted to create a kind of diorama aspect, almost like a weird children's book aesthetic, I've always liked that idea of creatures living in a giant head or a cloud or something impossible. That was the main direction,so I went with the wooden skull refinery image, for some reason... like a lot of this kind of work, I just kind of made it up as I went along.
Can you walk us through your process for creating a new work?
Its pretty simple really. I usually just write a bunch of key word ideas. Then sketch really rough images, then select stuff that i think will work and do a more detailed sketch. Then I'll start on the pencil outline of the finished piece, adding and subtracting elements. Im really not a particularly skilled draftsman, so I have to work hard on getting the pencil outline perfect before I ink, so this is the most difficult and frustrating part of the process. Ive become quite confident with my ink and fill style so this is the fun part, so ill happily sit and ink for hours with a movie or tv show on in the background.
What makes a t-shirt design so important?
A t shirt should say everything and nothing, a brief but casual visit into the impossible.
Do you have any favorite band t-shirts of all time?
I love 80's metal shirts, the Iron Maiden ones in particular. They've become somewhat of a hipster cliche now of course, but at the time they were so iconic and confronting!
What's next for you?

Designer Series Paper
This week I am going to try and inspire by using DSP in some different ways.
My first is as a small simple shape which has been stamped or used with a Whisper White mat.
I used the gorgeous NEW In Color DSP using the 2017 - 2019 colors.
I made a set of 5 notecards which can be given as a gift.
My first card I have used the Powder Pink paper and added a strip of the
Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon to match the Ink.
The second card, I reversed the paper to show the stripes side and added a white mat.
On the mat, I added stitches using a Lemon Lime Twist Marker Pen to match the die cut image.
The ribbon is a piece of Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon.
This next card is Lemon Lime Twist Polka Dot paper. This time I have coordinated it with
Fresh Fig Ink and a piece of Sheer Ribbon.
This one is the reverse of the one above, I used Fresh Fig paper and Lemon Lime Twist Ink Pad.
Once again, I used the lovely Ombre Ribbon in Lemon Lime Twist.
The stamp set is Stitched All Around (10 stamps) and the coordinating
Framelits Stitched Labels (10 Dies).
These can be bought as a Bundle for only £44.
A beautiful bargain!

March 31, 1999, Section C, Page 1Buy Reprints
Priceline.com, the Web site that hired William Shatner of ''Star Trek'' as its pitchman, saw its stock price fly off to a distant galaxy in its first day of trading yesterday.
Priceline's shares jumped from an offering price of $16 a share on the Nasdaq market to a high of $85 before settling at $69, a more than fourfold increase. That gives Priceline, which lets consumers bid on airline tickets, cars and other items, a market value of $9.8 billion, the highest first-day value ever achieved by an Internet company.
Priceline, which lost $114 million last year selling $35 million worth of airline tickets, is now worth more than the United Airlines, Continental Airlines and Northwest Airlines combined. That value is all the more astounding because Priceline has only been in business for 11 months.
That did not stop Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter, from doubling the proposed price, to give the company a value of $2.3 billion in the offering of 10 million shares.
The stock market has accorded Jay S. Walker, Priceline's founder, paper wealth of $4.3 billion. Mr. Walker's previous claim to fame was that he started Newsub services, which sells magazine subscriptions in credit card bills.
The offering comes amid a buying frenzy in the shares of nearly any company involved in the Internet.
''It doesn't matter what these companies do or how they are priced,'' said David Simons, who runs Digital Video Investments, an advisory service. ''Each new Internet I.P.O. is nothing more than red meat to the mad dogs.''
But a number of analysts praised the company for its sales method. Priceline calls itself a ''demand collection system'' in which customers name the price they want to pay for a trip, or a certain model car, and so on. If Priceline can find someone willing to sell at the specified price, the customer is committed to buy. ''We like Priceline's business model,'' said Peony Kao, an analyst with Renaissance Capital. ''It can be expanded from airline tickets to loans, cars and a lot of other things.''
Ms. Kao said she was impressed with Priceline's growth, with revenues expected to increase fivefold this year to $175 million.
''The company has a lot of potential,'' she said, ''but whether it's worth $10 billion remains to be seen.''
Like most Internet companies, Priceline has spent far more on building its systems and marketing than it has generated in revenue. But the nature of its business adds a number of unusual risks.
Its biggest constraint has been the unwillingness of most major airlines to undercut their existing prices by selling through Priceline. Priceline had tried to make the restrictions for buying tickets so onerous that it would not attract any high-margin business travelers. For example, buyers have to be willing to fly at any time on the travel day they specify, on any airline, and to accept at least one change of planes.
Even so, only Trans World Airlines and America West sold tickets through the service at first. Last fall, Northwest and Delta Air Lines agreed to participate. But in order to induce Delta to join, Priceline granted it warrants to buy 18.9 million shares of the company's stock, a stake worth $1.3 billion yesterday, or 13 percent of Delta's $10 billion market value.
Even with the addition of these airlines, Priceline was only able to sell about 25 percent of what it termed ''reasonable bids,'' which it defines as those no more than 30 percent less than the lowest fare for a particular route. And to satisfy even that many customers, the company has had to sell many of its tickets for prices below what it pays the airlines.
The company hopes to make up some of those losses selling credit cards and other products to people while they are bidding. The company's prospectus indicates that even these moves may not be enough to make money.
''We are unlikely to make significant profits unless we make new or complementary products and services and a broader range of existing products and services available through the Priceline service,'' the company wrote.
A number of other people have found near instant paper wealth as a result of the Priceline offering.
Richard S. Braddock, the former president of Citicorp, who became Priceline's chief executive last August, now owns shares worth $980 million.
General Atlantic Partners, a venture capital firm in Greenwich, Conn., saw its $28 million investment turn into a stake worth $1.8 billion.
Nicholas J. Nicholas Jr. the former co-chief executive of Time Warner, owns stock worth $264 million.

A. Reduce the number of figures per unit,
B. Reduce the number of units
C. Find more men.
Reducing the number of units would mean no need for adjusting rules as long as I adjusted the table to fit but it might change the dynamics and since the number of units was uneven (eg 3 units of light infantry, 3 units of cavalry) then any rounding might also alter the balance. Again, I decided that this was not my preferred route.
The first option remained, reducing the number of figures per unit. Once again the question arose of modifying the terrain in proportion to the frontage of the units, but there was also a question of whether or not changing the unit size work with the rules to be used. Deciding on a set of rules suddenly became a critical event.
Initially, I had planned to used Warhammer Ancient Battles (WAB) since these are what I have mostly been playing. However, when I re-read the scenario, I also re-read the accompanying rules and decided that I would like to try them. If I have time, it might be interesting to play it at least once with each set.
Looking at Harry's Quick Play rules, the first thing I noted was that standard unit sizes were given. The second thing was that since casualties aren't removed and the number of dice per unit is fixed, then apart from looks, the number of figures didn't actually matter as long as the unit frontages were relative. A Persian infantry unit deployed deep, a Persian archer unit and a Greek hoplite unit deployed normally, all have roughly the same frontage. If the Greeks deploy deep or the Persian infantry deploy wide, then 2 Greek units can attack them. Since I was working towards 18 man units for both armies, it seemed that if I used these for the Greek and Persian archer units and put 2 of them together for the Persian infantry, then than would work well. Alas, I was back to not enough figures! Reducing the numbers to 12 and 24, I did have enough but I presumed that I had best call each rank as equal to 2 under the rules.
My next concern was the frontage of the armies and the width of the gap between the mountain and the sea.
I went back and re-read the battle report again. The conventional interpretation was that the Greeks thinned out the center of their line to extend their battleline. In the game they did this by deploying 3 units on either flank in 4 deep formation while the 5 units in center deployed 2 deep. This formation was not wide enough so they deployed light infantry on the flanks and still the Persians outflanked them. Now we come back to the size of the table and a new, previously undetected issue: how wide were Harry's units? It occurred to me that classic 25mm miniatures were probably based on tradional 15mm per figure frontages. A study of the pictures appeared to confirm my suspicion but thanks to the internet I was able to get confirmation from the author himself. Now some time ago, mainly due to some awkward poses, for example that on my Immortals, I started migrating to a 20mm frontage for all my infantry. That meant if I deployed my units with the same number of files as the originals, my formations would be 1/3 wider. Considering that my table is a foot shorter this compounds the problem and makes it far too easy for the Greeks. Math is not a strong point but it seemed to me that if I used the right number of ranks with my wider bases then my 1/2 size units would be about 2/3 of the right frontage. If I then reduced the gap to 2/3 of the original, all should be well. The discrepency in frontage vs ranges and movement should be small enough to be excusable.
Now, if I do decide to refight the game with WAB, I will encounter another problem, 12 man hoplite units are too weak to use the phalanx special rule. That will mean either combining units or making a scenario rule to allow the Greeks to get the phalanx benefits regardless of unit size. I'll worry about that if and when the time comes.
In the meantime, after an evening of rebasing any hoplites not on a 20mm frontage onto 20mm sq bases, replacing shields and spears and the occasional head and weeding out figures that were beyond easy repair, I found myself with the requisite 11 hoplite units each 12 strong along with 3 12 man psiloi units. Some shuffling of Persian units then allowed me to field 9 units each 24 strong and 6 units each 12 strong and I laid the whole thing out. (Yes I haven't mentioned cavalry yet but there are an excess of these and I will probably field 12 man units). Some of the hoplites are a 100 years or more later in fashion and some of the Persian units are unlikely at best and other a motley crew as I merged 18 man units in 24's but they will serve.
Now, to see if I can entice some players and set a date for the refight. Next post will look at some of the units and their capabilities and examine some of the tactical problems and possibilities.
