Garth Brooks adds 'wow factor' to NightShine
It was pretty cool to have Garth Brooks headline NightShine: An Evening for Denver Health Foundation. Just how cool, though, bears further explanation.
There isn't a country music fan out there (at least I don't think there is) who doesn't know that Brooks is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. Sales figures change from minute to minute, but at the end of 2009, it was determined that 68,363,000 copies of his recordings had been sold, which is 7 million copies ahead of the Beatles. His last tour, in 1996-98, had 350 performances in 100 cities that were seen by 5.3 million fans. A 1993 Super Bowl appearance was seen by 1 billion television viewers around the world.
Plenty of fans were disappointed when Brooks said he was going to retire so that he could spend more time with his family. He didn't disappear entirely; the occasional charity gig, and the big pre-inauguration show on the National Mall for President Barack Obama helped keep him in the public eye. Then, this past December, he launched a five-year deal to perform weekends at the Wynn Las Vegas.
So how did he wind up on the National Western Events Center stage last Saturday, performing in celebration of Denver Health's 150th anniversary?
It happened because of his relationship with Sharon Magness Blake and her husband, Ernie.
Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, have been friends with the Blakes for some time; they were here in 2004 when Sharon, the widow of telecommunications pioneer Bob Magness, exchanged wedding vows with Ernie, a high-powered attorney whose cases include trials relating to the Exxon Valdez oil spill and Three Mile Island. And the two couples have worked together on various projects relating to Teammates for Kids, a Wheat Ridge-based charitable foundation that Brooks started with some of his pro athlete friends.
Teammates for Kids does a lot of things, but is best-known for establishing therapeutic and educational "refuges" called Child Life Zones in hospitals across the country. Until this past week there were six of them; the seventh, built in cooperation with the Troy Aikman Foundation, opened April 24 at Denver Health Medical Center.
Each Child Life Zone is a no-doctors, no needles, no procedures-allowed spot where pediatric patients and their families receive emotional support and coping skills via play, education and self-expression activities. The 3,300-square-foot Denver Zone was built in cooperation with the Troy Aikman Foundation.
After the formalities, Brooks didn't just disappear until it was time for his show. "He said he wanted to say hi to the people who make it happen on a daily basis: the nurses and the staff," said publicist Paula Peri Tiernan. "And so he did. It was really special."
Brooks and Yearwood also visited a young patient, a girl recovering from facial reconstruction made necessary after a horse fell on her. "He couldn't have been more gracious," Tiernan added. "You could tell his actions were straight from the heart."
The ribbon-cutting and NightShine were the centerpieces for Denver Health's sesquicentennial (150th birthday), and Brooks added to the gala's $2.5 million financial success by waiving his concert fee. His show that night, according to Norm Clarke, was basically the same one he does in Las Vegas.
Clarke, a former Rocky Mountain News columnist who now chronicles the Vegas celebrity scene, flew in to attend NightSine and memorials for Colorado Rockies president Keli McGregor and restaurateur Randy Rutherford.
While he's on stage with just his guitar, Brooks leads guests on a musical journey that includes some of his biggest hits and works by those who've influenced him, including George Strait and Bob Dylan. Yearwood came out midway through to sing two of her most popular numbers, "She's in Love with the Boy" and "Walkaway Joe."
NightShine was chaired by the Blakes and two other couples with deep ties to Denver Health: Jean and Dr. Ben Galloway and Lisa and Bruce Alexander. Ben Galloway is a forensic pathologist who spent many years at Denver Health; Bruce Alexander is chairman of the Denver Health and Hospital Authority board.
To give the cavernous event center a sense of intimacy and elegance, BJ Dyer and Guenther Vogt of Bouquets spent an entire week on site, removing the gold stars and streamers that have been an event center staple for eight years, replacing them with 68 glittered faux chandeliers at varying heights, and hundreds of yards of white and blue organza fabric in a crisscrossing pattern.
Dinner tables, where guests dined on spinach and iceberg wedges with strawberries and candied pecans, grilled black Angus tenderloin and chocolate/raspberry mousse cake from Epicurean, were draped with silver, navy and black crushed satin linens.
In all, the Bouquets crew installed 3,000 yards of fabric and placed over 8,000 stems of fresh flowers into 1,000 glass containers. And when the party was over, they delivered the flowers to patients at Denver Health.
"BJ and I were also delighted to learn that (Denver) City Hospital was established in June, 1860, at the intersection of Wazee and 16th streets, within a block of Bouquets' LoDo location at 15th and Wazee," Vogt added.
Starkey Hearing Foundation was the $200,000 Legacy Sponsor; Margaret and Jerry Hodge, Peri Marketing and Public Relations and the Blakes came in at the $100,000 Diamond Sponsor level. Larry Walker, a former outfielder for the Colorado Rockies and a member of Teammates for Kids, was a $50,000 Platinum Sponsor with K.P. Kauffman Co. and Siemens.
Other athletes at the gala included Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway; Shjon Podein, formerly of the Colorado Avalanche; Brian Griese; Jeremy Bloom; Kyle Orton; Haven Moses; Billy Thompson; and Troy Aikman. Elway and his wife, Paige, sat at the Blake table with Podein and his wife, Sherry; Phyllis Coors; and gubernatorial hopeful Scott McInnis and his wife, Lori.
Dr. Patricia Gabow, Denver Health's chief executive, was joined by such colleagues as the chief medical officer, Dr. Phil Mehler, and his wife, Leah; Dr. Gene Moore, chief of surgery and trauma services; Dr. Rick Albert, chief of medicine; Dr. Paul Melinkovich, director of community health services; Dr. Chris Urbina, director of public health; and Dr. Kathy Boyle, chief nursing officer.
Mayor John Hickenlooper said a few words, as did David McReynolds, chair of the Denver Health Foundation board. A live auction, called by emcees Reggie Rivers and Denise Plante, included "The Life of Time," an oil painting created for the occasion by Darrell Anderson, who was born at Denver Health.
With so many guests, it's probably safer to say who wasn't there instead of who was, but I'll give it a try:
Former Gov. Bill Owens; former Mayors Federico Pena and Wellington Webb; U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette; state education commissioner Dwight Jones; state Treasurer Cary Kennedy; Speaker of the House Terrance Carroll; Peter and Marilyn Coors; June and Dr. Johnny Johnson; Faye and Dr. Reginald Washington; and Hubert Farbes, incoming chair of the Health and Hospital Authority board.
Also, Stephanie Thomas, Denver Health's chief operating officer; Paulette and attorney Penfield Tate; Kathy and Steve McConahey; Eric Duran; Yvonne and Bill McCallum; Jeanne and Dick Saunders; Anna and John Sie; Caz Matthews; Anne and Ralph Klomp; Sue and Louis Clinton; Dr. Julika Ambrose; Elaine and Dr. Steve Berman; Terry and Dr. Elaine Scholes; Mary and Dr. Richard Krugman; Carole McCotter; Pat Cortez and Manuel Martinez; Arlene and Barry Hirschfeld; Mary Gittings Cronin and Jack Cronin; Kate Paul; Sheila and Rick Bugdanowitz; Elbra Wedgeworth; Laura Barton and William Matthews; Bonnie and David Mandarich; Zee Ferrufino; Roxane White; Shereen and Michael Pollak; Carolyn and Dave Wollard; KayLin and Charlie Fote; Debbie and Jim Shmerling; Marcia and Dick Robinson; and Kalleen and Bob Malone.

Jedi in the Cantina
July 1, 2004, 04:40 PM »
I assume that during the period 'A New Hope' occurs that seeing a jedi or someone that wields a lightsaber is rare. Why is the reaction downplayed after Ben slashes off Pondo's arm? I'd think someone would say, "I thought they were extinct" or "I didn't think there were any more jedis."... What's the deal with this?

I think after seeing him chop someone's arm off, they all decided it was in their best interet to keep out of it.
That. or if they did have a comment to make, they decided to keep it to themselves since the cantina is a "wretched hive of scum and villainy" after all and loose lips sink ships and potential payouts.
I doubt any of the denizens of the Cantina were really going to get involved, except for that Kubaz spy that eventually ratted them out to the Imps.

Garrouff Lafoe actually goes from the bar to tell the Stormies right away... He can briefly be seen taking in the fiasco.
Others do take notice too... Staring, silently, for a moment...
I agree with Nataku that they're backing off then because they feel it's in their best interest. Those there old enough to remember Jedi clearly maybe know better than to step on toes, and anyone else would be leary of making a negative move towards our heroes because they just watched 2 armed men who had the proverbial drop on one oold man lose an arm and some guts to him in one rather quick motion.
I remember being at a bar one night and watching a little, unassuming man take down 3 rather large guys... Nobody said anything, nobody did anything... The 3 guys, who were sorta dicks, got what they asked for, and left licking their wounds dealt them by the guy.
Felt similar to me... haha

I think what I'm getting at is that the stature and respect that a jedi deserves died with the old practice. I would think that they would live on in lore or stories at least and for some it would be hard to accept that they actually exist. They obviously do not want to get involved due to the display Obi-Wan puts on.
As far as the informant goes, he is reporting what? If it's that a jedi has appeared or exists, wouldn't be in the Imperial Trooper's best interest to report it to Vader? I don't know, I think the scene is great, but the reaction of the crowd could be more shocked in my opinion. They are used to violence, but a lightsaber & a jedi being there seems pretty rare. It also would have foreshadowed how important or revered the jedi used to be. But these are villany & scum and they trade horror stories. Shock isn't in their vocabulary. I just thought it was a moment that was important because it's the first jedi public appearance in a long time...

Imagine you're in some seedy place where everyone is armed to the teeth. There's incidents every day where someone gets shot, stabbed, etc. Its all just business. You see a scuffle in the corner, where two guys pull guns on some old geezer. He whips out an antique katana and cuts off the arm of one of his assailants. The two guys turn tail and run. Would you automatically assume that the old guy is a samurai, just because he has an antique katana?
There were lots and lots of jedi over the span of their order, and a massive number of them died over the course of a few years on many different worlds. I'm sure there's plenty of lightsabers around the galaxy. And since lightsabers aren't very well respected anymoreHan seems convinced that the blaster is the way to gothe cantina scum probably figured that anyone who would come in waving a sword around must be a crazy bastard. Now, if Ben started force throwing stuff around, and using all sorts of force powers, then the crowd might get a little curious.
Just the way I've always thought of it.

My take involves where I believe Lucas' mind was at the time SW was written, assuming he had in his existing backstory a timeline similar the official one of today, that these last warriors, relics of a forgotten era, were a somewhat allegorical reference to the mid-to-late '70's mindset of negative opinions towards soldiers (veterans, specifically).
Lucas has played with the anti SE Asia conflict and big-government themes as far back as THX1138. American Graffiti plays like a goodbye to the period lost to it, and then that dead horse is continually kicked in More American Graffiti. Its apparent all the way through Star Wars into Jedi, where he has specifically called the Ewok victory over the industrialized Empire a direct reference to Vietnam. (And not a very pro-American view, obviously).
It may be nothing, but looking back at the cantina, in a world where the Jedi have been portrayed as outdated and villainous (using the assumed Ep3 direction), most onlookers probably wouldnt look on in shock or disbelief, but with indifference and maybe contempt, similar to the attitudes many took towards veterans in the period Lucas was writing his drafts.
Just a thought.

That's pretty deep Tydirium. I am not sure I was looking to get that involved in the subliminal references to historical events and the human condition... I like your ideas though.
I guess in a place like the cantina, this could be true. But I would say that if the Jedi are viewed as relics and outlaws, that view was created by the empire (calling a spade a spade...). So when the evil dictatorship of the universe began to unfold, people were either sold the idea through Nazi-esque propaganda or they kept quiet out of fear. The Jedi were the peace bringers, they upheld the law and they worked within a code that was respectful and good for the most part. They got a bad rap becuase the council had corrupt members that cursed them for their meddling. We know the Trade Federation abhored them and those that worked behind the scenes with the Trade Fed. also began to buy into the idea that the Jedi were meddlesome and to be wary of them and their kind.
The people that knew of them and that revered them were shut in and went underground. I would think that the rebel alliance told the legends of the Jedi and had hopes of their return. Rogues and villanous types were probably apt to view the Jedi as 'bad' due to the nature of their business.
The one that says something to me is Han Solo. He never saw the Jedi work and to him they are like mythology. He has been conditioned to believe in the concrete 'blaster at his side' and faith has been cast away. It is good that he begins to show his faith as his time with Luke and the rebels goes on...

Wow what a great analysis Jared...very cool but the one point I've been saying for a few years is that "the backstory" and plan for the whole OT was never there. Lucas has overstated his grand vision a few times and I find that laughable. That doesn't change the fact that he did know the Jedi were once Soldiers who had fought in many Wars. Here's an old Hermit living in a shack on a backwater planet who was at one time one of the greatest Jedi of all time. To say he's been neglected, spat upon and treated like a Vietnam vet is a pretty good analogy

DU's Zucker should resume World Junior play with Team USA
Word out of Buffalo, host of the World Junior Championship, is that DU fabulous freshman and Team USA forward Jason Zucker was not seriously injured in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over Slovakia.
Zucker absorbed a wicked elbow to the chin by a Slovak player in the third period and did not return. It appeared Zucker sustained a concussion, but I don't think it's that serious. The kid that hit him was ejected with a "contact to the head" penalty. He also could have received charging and elbowing majors, plus an interference minor. He completely ran Zucker.
USA Hockey media guy Alex Clark wrote in an email to me today that Zucks is "day to day, no word if he will play" Thursday against Germany. The Las Vegas product did not skate with the team today.

Mortgage Refinance
Refinancing a home a may be a great financial decision. One of our Licensed Loan Originators can help you make an informed refinancing decision. Below are some of the top five reasons why refinancing might be right for you.
- Lower your interest rate and/or monthly payment* - This can make a big difference in your monthly out-of-pocket costs for housing and save money spent on interest costs.
- Build equity faster - Income changes may allow you the flexibility of making a higher payment. If this is the case, you may want to switch from a 30-year loan program to a 15- or 20-year loan program. This enables you to build equity faster and save money on interest costs.
- Change your loan program - Homeowners who currently have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) and find their interest rate climbing may benefit by switching to a fixed rate program.
- Take advantage of improved credit score - If your credit score has improved, you may be able to lower your interest rate and/or monthly payment.
- Use the equity you have established - A cash-out refinance allows you to tap into the equity you have built up in your home. Common reasons to obtain a cash-out refinance are: to pay off debt, send a child to college, or use the money for home improvements.
Regardless of your reasons for wanting to refinance your existing mortgage, an experienced Loan Originator can help you determine if a refinance is right for you.
*By refinancing an existing loan, your total finance charges may be higher over the life of the loan.

A man suspected of fatally shooting Broomfield auto repair shop employee Mary McGrath told police he planned the shooting for at least a year before carrying out the act, and also planned to kill himself and a Lakewood motel employee, according to an arrest affidavit.
Lawrence Crouch, 62, was arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of 56-year-old McGrath at East of Sweden Saab repair shop on Friday. Crouch told police he wanted to kill her because she was "a drunk, a shrew and a thief" who took advantage of Bob Wisdom, the owner of East of Sweden, where McGrath worked and the shooting happened.
Those who knew McGrath from her work at the repair shop were shocked and saddened by her death. They described her as kind and friendly.
"She was a low-key lady who was great with customers. She didn't have a mean bone in her body," said Pam Janssen, who owns Carquest Auto Parts with husband, Lee.
Crouch has not yet been charged, but District Court Judge Patrick Murphy, during an advisement hearing on Monday, said he expects Crouch to be charged with first-degree murder during his next court appearance at 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
According to the arrest affidavit, Crouch planned McGrath's murder in advance and had packed two handguns that morning before leaving the extended-stay motel where he had lived for the past year.
Crouch told police he also planned to kill an employee at the Lakewood motel where he lived, because the employee's accounting practices were "horrible." He planned to throw a makeshift bomb made of soap and gin behind the motel's front counter, then set fire to the motel, according to the affidavit. He abandoned the plan when the employee was not at work on Oct. 12.
Crouch told police he chose Oct. 12 as the day to kill McGrath, the employee and himself because he was out of money and had nothing left to lose. He described the act of killing McGrath as "stress relief."
Crouch told police he cleaned up his motel room that morning and left a written letter about what he planned to do that day. He then left the motel, 7393 Jefferson Ave. in Lakewood, and worked out at a nearby gym before driving to Broomfield.
Crouch arrived at East of Sweden around 2 p.m., where he saw Wisdom standing in the business's front office. Wisdom and Crouch had known each other for 20 years, but had not seen each other for the past year, according to the affidavit. The two had a short conversation about what they had been doing in that time, then Wisdom left the building. As Wisdom left, McGrath entered the front room.
Crouch pulled out a Kimber .45 caliber handgun from a small bag he carried and shot her five times in the chest, according to the affidavit.
Though Crouch wanted to kill himself after he had completed the two murders, he told police he could not shoot himself in front of Wisdom. Wisdom ran back into the business after he heard the shots fired.
After shooting McGrath, Crouch handed the gun to Wisdom and asked him to call 911, according to the affidavit. He sat on a futon in the repair shop's front office to wait for police, where he was arrested without incident.
According to the affidavit, Wisdom, Crouch and McGrath had been roommates in Broomfield for several years. Crouch wanted to move out and get his own place, but had been defrauded of his money by a fake rental property scam on the Internet. He left Broomfield about a year ago to live in the Lakewood motel, according to the affidavit.
Crouch told police he had been friends with Wisdom since 1992. He said Wisdom and McGrath had dated for a few years, but then broke up and stayed friends. Crouch said he never was romantically interested in McGrath, but wanted her dead because she took advantage of Wisdom.
Witnesses to the shooting said they thought Crouch might have placed a bomb in his car. The Adams County Bomb Squad was called to the scene shortly after Crouch's arrest.
The bomb squad used a robot to remove what appeared to be a backpack from a red Saab in the parking lot. Something inside the backpack was detonated after it was placed on the street. The explosion did not result in a fire.
Police did not release many details about the detonation, stating only that a "suspicious device from the suspect's vehicle" was detonated. Crouch is being held without bail at Broomfield County jail.

Interactive activities to do in Ford exhibit
Ford offers history tour, games and Blue Oval Card for interaction
DETROIT – With so many vehicles to see at this year's North American International Auto Show, you may be looking for something fun to do.
Besides taking a look at the latest cars Ford has to offer at NAIAS, the automaker also offers a plethora of fun activities for people of ages.
To start, those who stop by the Ford exhibit can register for the Henry Ford tour. Mr. Ford and a crew of other time-piece actors will take you back as far as 1903, starting with the iconic Model A.
MORE: Henry Ford tour showcases Ford's history, future
Many lined up to take part in a Focus ST Sport Technology vehicle simulator, which rocks you back and forth as you drive through a virtual world. Those who played the game attempted to beat the fastest time on record.
Players can also test out their gaming skills with the FordSMART Driving Challenge, or they can find a friend to navigate through a labyrinth together.
NAIAS attendees can become an "electric detective" to learn more about how many miles one can achieve with one of Ford's electric vehicles.
If you're looking to interact and learn more about the cars themselves, Ford offers spectators to pick up one of their "Blue Oval Cards." With the card, you electronically scan, collect and share all of the information you find about the vehicles, all while connecting it with your Ford account.
At home, you can access everything you've collected with their Blue Oval Card website. There, you can learn more about the vehicles you discovered at NAIAS, and you may even be entered into a prize draw.

The other side of the Quicksheet contains a "Life Stages Worksheet" listing the typical activities in a persons' life, from birth to burial. There is room to fill in the records found for each activity, and the potential records that could also be searched and correlated. For more information on each of the ten steps, and additional worksheets to complete the analysis process, consider taking Elizabeth Shown Mills' on Advanced Methodology and Evidence Analysis course at the Institute of Genealogy and Historical Research at Samford University.
The new Quicksheet can be ordered from Genealogical Publishing Company or from the Board for Certification of Genealogists

Reader Chris E. reports from Peabody, Massachusetts:
Figured you would like to see this photo – having lived in the South, I know Chick-fil-A very well. I don't eat fast food often, but decided after reading your post to go the local store at the North Shore Mall in Peabody, MA. Needless to say, the line was at least 150 people deep – if you look at the attached photo, you will see the Chick-fil-A symbol on the left hand edge of the photo.
People of all races, business folks, families alike on line – all saying what the Mayor of Boston has said is just plain wrong – and they wanted to show their support.
AND THIS JUST IN, DATELINE MINNEAPOLIS: "My husband and I and our son who works at the University of Minnesota had lunch at the Coffman Union Chic-fil-A location today, and the line was 50-60 people long! Our son said he had never ever seen a line longer than 5 or 6 people, even during the school year! Parking was a problem, not to mention getting there through all the construction (apparently the University has plenty of our money available to spend), but we wanted to support Chic-fil-A's First Amendment rights."

Obama talks climate, raises funds in S.F.
President Obama dropped into San Francisco Wednesday night for a pair of high-dollar fundraisers during which he underscored his concerns about climate change and his drive to return Nancy Pelosi to the speakership of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The visit drew protests from opponents of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and from Republicans, who slammed it as a jaunt to "billionaires' row."
Obama appeared first at a cocktail reception at the Sea Cliff home of billionaire environmental activist Tom Steyer and his wife, Kat Taylor, where about 100 guests paid $5,000 to $34,200 to attend the fundraiser for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He later had dinner at the Pacific Heights home of Gordon and Ann Getty.
The president, in Denver earlier Wednesday for a speech on gun control, landed at San Francisco International Airport about 5:30 p.m. In a drive lasting about 20 minutes, his motorcade was met with shout-outs from people on the street as it wound through the Sunset District and Golden Gate Park before arriving at Steyer and Taylor's oceanfront home.
Obama chuckled as he pointed out that the Golden Gate Bridge was invisible. His hosts even apologized to him that it was covered in fog.
Steyer, who is a vociferous opponent of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and a strong supporter of climate-change legislation, appeared to try to ease concerns that Obama wouldn't keep the issue at the top of his agenda, as he has promised.
"He is doing everything he can on the issues that we care about," Steyer told the group in his home. "He has political limitations ... so we really have an obligation to help him."
Obama for his part, addressed climate change repeatedly in his remarks, which lasted 19 minutes, but never specifically mentioned the pipeline.
Environmental fight
Despite an "aggressive agenda" by Republicans in opposing his environmental agenda, he said, "We've been able to reduce carbon emissions in this country."
Obama acknowledged that the issue of climate change is "close to Tom's heart," but added, "The politics of this are tough."
"If you've still got that factory job that is powered by cheap energy ... if every time you go to fill up your old car because you can't afford to buy a new one, and you certainly can't afford to buy a Prius," he said, "you may be concerned about the temperature of the planet, but it's probably not rising to your No. 1 concern," Obama said. The main concern remains, he said, "How do I feed my family."
Obama said a big challenge is to show middle-class families that "we are working just as hard for them as we are for an environmental agenda - and that's going to take some work."
Steyer, a leading opponent of the proposed pipeline, which would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast, is the founder of Farallon Capital Management and is increasingly mentioned as a potential Democratic candidate for governor.
While the president was speaking in Sea Cliff, protesters were assembling in Pacific Heights near the Getty home, where Obama went for his second event of the evening.
Protesters lined several blocks of Pacific Avenue to urge Obama to reject the pipeline.
Frozen out
By the time the president arrived, many of the protesters had fled the cold, but a few hundred remained. Most gathered at Divisadero and Broadway and were blocked by police and barricades from getting close to the Getty home. The group included members of the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and grassroots political action groups CREDO and 350.mobile.
About 70 people attended the dinner in the two-story atrium of the Getty home, where the president reiterated the importance of returning Pelosi, D-San Francisco, to the House speakership. Helping to achieve that goal was his main reason for being at the San Francisco events.
"I can get a whole lot more done if Nancy Pelosi is speaker of the House," he told the group at the Gettys.
Outside, a band of a dozen musicians played. Beryl Landau, 69, of San Francisco said she was there to stick up for the environment. She said she voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but was disappointed because she believed he would approve the Keystone pipeline.
"He's standing up for the 1 percent and the oil lobby" she said. "We have to do everything we can."
At both functions, the president talked about gun control legislation, comprehensive immigration reform, education reform and upgrading the nation's infrastructure, but he drew the most-enthusiastic applause when he mentioned the progress made in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights and the goal that "the LGBT community has full and equal citizenship"
Pelosi and Rep. Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, attended both fundraisers.
Bay Area House Democrats Jared Huffman of San Rafael, Eric Swalwell of Dublin and Mike Honda of San Jose attended the Steyer event, as did San Francisco attorney Joe Cotchett and Silicon Valley venture capitalist Vinod Khosla.
The Getty dinner, for which 75 guests paid $34,200 per person, was the latest in a series of events the couple are holding for Pelosi's campaigns to increase the number of Democrats in the House. The Gettys' last event, in 2012, raised $1.7 million for the party.
More to come
The San Francisco fundraisers this week kick off eight events Obama is attending around the nation this year designed to help House Democrats in the midterm election next year.
Wednesday's fundraisers helped bulk up the coffers of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which raised $12.4 million in January and February. The National Republican Congressional Committee raised $9.4 million in the same period.
Republicans slammed the San Francisco events as both a waste of taxpayer money and an example of political hypocrisy.
"When you're not looking, where's President Obama? On billionaire's row," said a Republican National Committee Web video released Wednesday.
The video lambasted the president for spending time privately with wealthy Bay Area Democrats while publicly attacking the wealthiest Americans for not paying more in taxes.
Obama was scheduled to spend the night in San Francisco. On Thursday, he will attend a brunch at the Atherton home of Liz Simons and Mark Heising, managing director of the San Francisco investment firm Medley Partners and a board member of the Environmental Defense Fund.
That's followed by lunch at the Atherton home of philanthropist John Goldman, the Levi Strauss heir, and his wife, Marcia Goldman.

Nintendo of Europe has just published the Iwata Asks Wii U discussion first made available just after E3, and while it's the same discussion as before something intriguing stood out on a second reading.
Shigeru Miyamoto touches on Wii Fit's future when enhanced by the new controller. Although the original created the fitness game boom all-but single-handedly with the Wii Balance Board, it's been overtaken since by full-body tracking from games like Your Shape: Fitness Evolved on Kinect. As the Wii U supports all previous Wii accessories it's likely the Balance Board will still find a home, but there's something tucked into the new controller that could also help out.
While reluctant to discuss in detail, Miyamoto reveals he's working on a new Wii Fit for Wii U with activities that use the camera to track the player:
I can't really talk about it in detail, but we're working on new ways to do training exercises with Wii Fit, like using the camera, you can place it against something and play while the game looks at your status.
We've seen the camera used for video chat in the Nintendo E3 Wii U video, but nothing with any gameplay applications yet. If the player recognition is better than DSiWare's WarioWare: Snapped! this could be a welcome addition to Wii U's capabilities, though we wouldn't expect anything on the level of Kinect's limb-tracking functionality.

Final Devourment Lyrics
Surfacing from the foul abysmal depths, be at rest assured she will sing to the world in sweetened harmony, without a falter in her means. As I bear witness to the flood that's justly pouring from her shawl, I know that soon we will swoon in the wrap of her staggering grace just simply melting from her breath. She is poisoning us with regret for feeling comfort instead of dread. She has got the lead and she sees it, lifting her arms. And just as we turn our backs to flee, wretches tail her out of the sea. Coiling the running that shapes the flood, where the burdened visions take our hands the blood will fall. Higher forces please intervene. Stagnate this army and their queen.
Opening up her chest, exposing prodding ribs. Swiftly gaining on our tracks, we're wearing out. Atrocious has become this night of apathy. Not a cloud lays low to cover me. It's apparent that our flesh is the destination they'll be feeding on for days. No one here lives to scream, no one but me. You sing the song. We shed the blood. Taunting us from the girders, our bodies have become the flood. We have become the flood.

Can Twitter help you find a job?
But only if you use it right.
It can be a huge challenge sorting the wheat from the chaff on Twitter, where millions of updates appear daily, only a few of which contain useful job-search information.
Let's start at the beginning, then explore two case studies.
Twitter is the micro-blogging service that lets users send updates ("tweets") of 140 characters or less to people in their network. You can follow the updates of any other Twitter member with one click.
When it comes to meeting hiring managers, Twitter is like a cocktail party, according to Mary Lower, President at Sterling Cross Communications, in Maple Grove, Minn. (sterlingcrossgroup.com). "Twitter lets you reach employers where they have their guard down. You can use it to start conversations that you finish later."
One conversation Lower had started with a tweet from Kelsey Jones, a PR major from Drake University, who joined Lower's firm as an intern this past spring.
How was Jones hired? Through Twitter, of course.
"I met a woman at a political convention, followed her on Twitter, then looked through her followers for possible connections in PR, where I wanted an internship. I found Mary Lower, who works in PR in the Twin Cities," says Jones.
She exchanged tweets with Lower, which led to phone conversations, which led to an internship being created for Jones at Sterling Cross Communications.
Action Steps: If you're on Twitter, your user name ("handle") and profile picture are keys to making the best first impression, according to Lower. Her handle? @PRMoxie. At a glance, anyone searching a long list of profiles can see what she is about.
If you already have a Twitter user name, put extra effort into uploading a professional-looking picture to your profile, one that invites others to learn more about you. But no cleavage, please. (You laugh, but it's been done.)
The exploding popularity of Twitter has spawned a cottage industry of startups that have created tools to integrate with Twitter and deliver specialized services.
One such service is TweetMyJOBS.com, based in Charlotte, N.C., which bills itself as a Twitter-based job board.
"It's free and lets job seekers search Twitter for openings by geographic area, industry, and job title," says Founder and President Gary Zukowski.
Paul Gilmore, from Lantana, Fla., used TweetMyJOBS to land a position as a Staffing Coordinator at Synerfac Technical Staffing, in December 2009.
"I was working a shorter term consulting project, when I found the posting for Synerfac on TweetMyJOBS. After sending my resume in response, I had a series of phone and in-person interviews, and got a job offer in less than two weeks," he says.
Action Steps: Although I'm a firm believer that you should spend no more than 20% of your time looking for advertised job openings online (the remaining 80% should be spent meeting people offline), tools like TweetMyJOBS, JobShouts, and Tweetajob can automate the process and save you time. So consider using one or more of them.
Here's additional advice from Gilmore, who has experience as a recruiter in a highly competitive job market: "The recession has significantly altered the way everyone should conduct their job searches. It is essential for candidates to use every method to reach all potential employers."
This means you should combine old school methods (offline networking among them) with the most-effective Internet-based tools.
Should Twitter be among the tools in your job-search kit?
Try it, ration your time carefully, track your results, and judge for yourself.

William P. Wehrly (1845-1909) was my paternal 2nd-great grandfather. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical facts I've discovered about him.
1. Vital Records
1.1. Birth Certificate
William was born November 2, 1845 in Preble County, Ohio1,2. There were no birth certificates required at this time, as the State of Ohio didn't start requiring them until 1867.
1.1.1. Birth notice in a newspaper
I have not been able to locate any contemporary news reports of William's birth.
1.1.2. Bible record
I am not aware of the survival of a Wehrly family Bible. I will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one does exist.
1.1.3. Baptismal record
I do not know what church the family was associated with in Preble County, Ohio and am unaware of any baptismal record.
1.1.4. Adoption record
There is no indication that William was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
William was married August 5, 1866 in Jay County, Indiana to Olive Jane Smith2. One source indicated that the marriage took place on August 4th1. Obtaining a copy of the actual record from Jay County is now on my "to do" list.
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
I have not searched local newspapers to see if William and Olive's nuptials were mentioned. Will add this to my "to do" list on my next research trip into the area.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
I have not searched Jay County, Indiana newspapers for mention of William and Olive's anniversary either. Their 25th would have been August 5, 1891. They did not survive to reach their 50th anniversary, which would have been August 5, 1916. Have added finding an anniversary mention to my "to do" list.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
There is no indication that a divorce ever occurred, and a recent search of court records during the time period did not turn up a divorce record.
1.3. Death certificate
William died on June 16, 1909 in Salamonia, Jay County, Indiana2. I thought that I had a copy of his death certificate, but apparently I do not. Will add obtaining one to the "to do" list on the next research trip into Jay County.
1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper
I need to search out the Portland Commercial-Review on my next trip to the Jay County library to see if I can locate a copy of William's obituary. I thought that I had already found it, but if I have, it has not been properly sourced in my database.
1.3.2. Funeral home record
The Jay County library has some of the funeral home records from the various funeral homes in the county. Will add this to my list of "to do" research items.
1.3.3. Tombstone photograph
William's tombstone in the Salamonia cemetery has been photographed. It lists him as "William P. Wehrly Nov. 2 1845 - June 16, 1909", and his wife, Olive, is also listed3.
2. Census Records
2.1. Federal Census Records
2.1.1. 1900 Federal Census
On June 2, 1900, William was enumerated in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana4, as William P. Wehrly, age 54, sawmiller, born November 1845 in Ohio. Both his parents were born in Pennsylvania. He had been married for 33 years. He could read and write and spoke English. He owned his home, and had a mortgage. Living in the household was his wife, Olive, age 53; son Alva M., age 21; daughter Ida L, age 17; son Blaine, age 15; daughter Ethel M., age 13; and son Martin N., age 11.
2.1.2. 1880 Federal Census
On June 3, 1880, William was enumerated in Salamonia, Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana5, as William Wherhly, age 24, works in sawmill, born in Indiana. The birthplaces of both of his parents was left blank. He was listed as married. Living in the household was his wife, Olive, age 33; daughter Minerva, age 12; daughter Isabell, age 11; son John, age 10; daughter Catherine, age 9; son Franklin, age 8; son Henry, age 5; son Harvy, age 3; and son Monroe, age 1. William's age is clearly listed as 24, though he should be more rightly, 34.
2.1.3. 1870 Federal Census
On August 2, 1870, William was enumerated in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana6, as William P. Werly, age 24, farmer, born in Ohio. He was a U.S. citizen. The value of his real estate was $1200 and the value of his personal estate was $200. Living in the household was Olvi J., age 24; Minerva P., age 3; Barbary J., age 1; and John W., aged 2 months. A servant, Amo H. Mamo, age 20, born in Ohio, was also in the household.
2.1.4. 1860 Federal Census
On June 9, 1860, William was enumerated in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana7, in the John S. Whorley household as William Whorley, age 16, born in Ohio. He had attended school within the year.
2.2. State Census Records
The State of Indiana conducted state census in 1853, 1857, 1871, 1877, 1883, 1889, 1901, 1913, 1919 and 1931. These however, were merely for the purposes of determining legislative apportionment.
2.3. Agricultural Census Records
I have not yet investigated these types of census records to see what information might be shed on the Wehrly family farm.
3. Military Records
3.1. Draft Registration
I have not found William in any draft registrations for the Civil War, though he did enlist in Company I, 130th Indiana Infantry Regiment.
3.2. Pension Records
William did receive a pension for his service during the Civil War. He enlisted January 29, 1864 in Company I, 130th Indiana Infantry Regiment. I need to make the records of his pension the subject of a future post.
3.3. Service Records
Though I've received the records from the National Archives, I've not yet sourced William's service records into my database. I need to make the records of William's service the subject of a future post.
4. Land Records
4.1. Deed Records
Deed records need to be researched thoroughly in Jay County, Indiana.
The following records in Jay County Circuit Court Book 1 need researched:
Wehrly, William P., Elisha C. Shepherd et al, Foreclosure, September 9, 1890, Box 290, Record No. 6634
4.2. Plat map / County map
Jay County published a plat map in 1874, 1881, 1887, 1901, 1910 and 1920 that may be relevant to my search for William. I have access to copies of the 1887 and 1901 plat maps of Jay County, and need to see what information they hold concerning Willliam.
5. Supplemental Records
Supplemental records available to research for William include county/city directories, court records, and will and probate records. Searching these items will be on my "to do" list for my next research trip into Jay County.
William died intestate in Jay County, Indiana. His estate was settled in December 1913 term of the Jay County Circuit Court, John W. Wehrly, administrator. I need to make this the subject of a future post.

Nor, after more than a decade of fervent hype, do e-books show any signs of significantly encroaching on the territory of real books. See Mann, Thomas. The Oxford Guide to Library Research. New York: Oxford University Press, 2005.That was more than eight years ago. Bear in mind that Apple's iPad was introduced on April 3, 2010, just about three years ago. Apple sold 3 million iPads in the first 80 days of sales. Yes, although it seems like tablets have been around forever, it is just a few short years. There were a few tablet computers released in 2009 but most of the sales only began in 2010.
It is also interesting to note that Mann's argument, cited above, that the ebook would not make any progress in replacing paper (real books?) was based on the premise that people would not read them on their desktop computers. When that argument went out the window, did ebooks really start making inroads?
From watching the steady increase in tablet and smartphone usage, I would guess that they are being used more each year. But are people using them to read books? Depending on whose statistics you believe, ebooks have passed some categories of paper books in sales. See "US eBook Market Grew by 5% in Q1 2013, AAP Reports" citing statistics from the Association of American Publishers, Inc.
Personally, I would rather read a book on my iPad than on paper. But I have been limited by the availability of ebooks on subjects I am interested in reading about. Hence, the paper book by Thomas Mann I cite above.
From a strictly economic standpoint, ebooks will inevitably replace the vast majority of paper books. It is so much less expensive to publish and distribute an ebook that there is literally no comparison. One indication of the popularity of reading ebooks is the fact that the New York Times Best Seller lists now have combined Print and E-Book Fiction and Non-fiction lists and separate lists for ebooks.
The main reason that ebooks have not yet had a huge impact on genealogists is that up until very recently few of the basic genealogy books were available in ebook format. This is still true of the newer books, but reference books and older source books are being converted to electronic format at an ever increasing rate. It is only a matter of time that genealogists will realize that most of the books they have been consulting for the past years are now available in ebook formats. For example, FamilySearch recently added just over 100,000 ebooks to FamilySearch.org's Books collection. I can access all of these on my iPad. It is easier to download the books to my desktop computer in PDF format and then put them in Dropbox and then on my iPad, I can move them to iBooks, Kindle or other readers. I am still using the original iPad so it is a little slow, but who needs speed when you are reading?
No, I do not see paper books going away any time soon. As a matter of fact, I have a couple of thousand of them that are resisting going away at all. But technology is inevitable. Tablets and readers keep getting lighter and thinner and faster and higher quality images.

In 2 hours after posting this, I realized that preserving Liouville measure solves the problem completely. Sorry for disturbing...
Construction of perpetuum mobile: Consider room with mirror walls formed by two arcs of two ellipses with common foci and two segments of on bisecting perpendicular for the focuses as on the picture:
Place one-point-bodies with the same temperature in each focus --- they radiate and
All rays from blue focus come to the red one.
Big portion of rays from red focus goes back to it-self (that are all rays which reflect in bisector) while the rest goes to the blue focus.
Thus red focus getting hotter than blue one; i.e., we have a perpetual motion machine of the second kind...
Why exactly it does not work? My guess is: if instead of one-point-bodies we have bodies with real size (no matter how small) it will no longer work, but I'm too lazy to do calculations, and I also it should be a good explanation (with no calculations).
For those of you who think it is not math, here is math formulation: Assume instead of one-point-bodies we have very small bodies of arbitrary shape. Then physics tells us it should not longer work. BUT I do not see mathematical proof of it...
- I know this construction from Vladimir Troitsky. A similar (but not as elegant) construction appears in comment on the Brain Teaser in the September 1972 issue of Physics Education (page 414). (maybe earlier?) --- thanks to Scott Carnahan for the ref. On page 446, there is a "solution", it only says that "it would not work because of the finite sizes of [the bodies]". Next year (June 1973, p.292) a letter with a better explanation was pubilshed in the same journal, this "better explanation" roughly says that it does not work by a "well established law".

London Marathon takes place on 13th April 2008!!!
you all can join in with the fun...
H.E.A.R.T UK – The Cholesterol Charity – is one of the two Official Charities of the Flora London Marathon 2008 and plans to field a massive Teamredlaces at the event to raise funds and awareness for our work.
At H.E.A.R.T UK we're passionate about preventing premature deaths caused by high cholesterol and cardiovascular disease – especially inherited high cholesterol (IHC).
IHC affects about one person in every 100 and can cause early cardiovascular disease and shorten lives. IHC can kill fit young people, without warning, in their 30s, 40s and even in their 20s! The good news is that early diagnosis, lifestyle changes and appropriate medication can effectively treat IHC and lead to longer, healthier lives. But the bad news is that about half a million people in the UK today have undiagnosed IHC and are at risk.
redlaces have been designed to:
represent a healthy cardiovascular system
encourage exercise as a means to a healthy heart
prompt people to think about their family's heart history and recognise whether they might be at risk from IHC
With a huge presence at the Flora London Marathon, Teamredlaces can reach thousands of those people at risk. Please use your place to help us.
quote from teamredlaces....
Remember, a healthy diet isn't the only aspect in helping to maintain a healthy heart – exercise is also important and by training for the FLORA London Marathon you are making a massive commitment to your heart health and setting the benchmark for a continued healthy lifestyle into the future.
let me know if you gonna do it....
there are two people so far....

Staples High boys soccer honored with national academic award
Recommended Video:
For the fourth season in a row and the ninth time in 10 years, the Staples High boys soccer program has been honored with a national award for academic excellence.
The National Soccer Coaches Association of America gave Staples a Team Academic Award--one of only two boys soccer programs in Connecticut to be named.
To qualify, a program must have at least a cumulative 3.25 grade point average from its varsity players. The award is given for the previous academic year. In 2011, Staples' 25 varsity players had an average GPA of just a fraction over 3.25.
"I've always said that our players are some of the smartest and most creative people at Staples," head coach Dan Woog said in a release. "We want our guys to be as strong in the classroom as they are on the field. What's especially gratifying about this award is that it's won as a team. I'm proud that the NSCAA recognizes our team as one that strives for academic excellence."

Te arata´i ataata - Lizard
Added on April 24th, 2009

Inspired by "Lizard"
Lizards symbolize good luck, and are spiritual guides.
Ancient Celts believed the lizard to represent the shadowy plane of manifestations where everything changes and transforms. Meeting a lizard when on a journey meant that attention had to be paid to all the unclear, under-the-surface activities that may take place all around.
Based on a request by Thiago.

Sister Genevieve Kunkel, a professed member of the School Sisters of Notre Dame for 78 years who was known for her spirit and positive attitude, died Wednesday at the age of 101 from complications after hip surgery.
Sister Genevieve was a participant in the "nun study," which has tracked more than 600 members of the School Sisters since 1986 to learn more about aging and Alzheimer's disease. Her sunny approach to life was featured in a book published about the study, titled "Aging with Grace: What the Nun Study Teaches Us About Leading Longer, Healthier and More Meaningful Lives."
"My philosophy as a woman, a religious and a teacher has always been to be grateful for the past, enthusiastic about the present and confident about the future," she said in a chapter in the 2001 book on the effect of happiness and gratitude on longevity.
An example of someone who retained her cognitive skills late into her life, Sister Genevieve appeared on national television with epidemiologist Dr. David Snowdon, who began the study of nuns and aging, and in 2004, she testified before Congress in support of funding for Alzheimer's research.
Genevieve Louise Kunkel was born Jan. 3, 1911, in Baltimore to Joseph Anthony and Dorothea Eva (Becker) Kunkel, the oldest of nine children. Her father and his brother founded Kunkel Pianos in 1905.
"She was devoted to her parents and her family," said Sister Frances Marie Usher, her friend for many years. "She would tell me stories about her family, about how her mother was in bed with a baby more than she was around the house.
"And she told me how her mother asked her father for a cook. She said, 'I need a cook. I want to go with you on your business trips and the babies are starting to come and I don't know that much about cooking anyway.'"
Sister Genevieve earned a bachelor's degree in English and history in 1932 from what is now Notre Dame of Maryland University and later that year entered the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Baltimore. All her sisters earned degrees there, a fact that made her immensely proud, Sister Frances recalled.
She was given the religious name Mary Nicholas after her brother, Nicholas, who was then preparing to become a Jesuit priest. "She had the most beautiful things to say about him," Sister Frances said.
She professed her first vows in August 1934 and her final vows in 1940, the same year she earned a master's degree in English from Boston College.
Sister Genevieve, who resumed using her given name later in her career, went on to teach secondary school English, along with history, French and Spanish. She also coached debate teams.
During her long teaching career, she was assigned to St. Mary School of Bryantown; Our Lady of Perpetual Help (Mission Church High School) in Roxbury, Mass.; St. Patrick School in Cumberland, where she was superior of the house and principal of the school from 1953 to 1956, and Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Tampa, Fla., where she was principal of the K-12 school and supervisor of all School Sisters schools in Florida from 1956 to 1961.
"She loved her years teaching English in Boston the most," Sister Frances said of the school where Sister Genevieve taught for 19 years. "And she could still quote from all the things she taught during those years."
In 1961, she became director of sister education and supervisor of secondary schools for the Baltimore Province of her congregation, based at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland. She supervised high school teachers while traveling from Florida to New Jersey and advised sisters pursuing degrees. In 1980, she became a consultant in education for the province.
In 1990, at age 79, Sister Genevieve moved to Villa Assumpta, home to retired sisters, in Baltimore County to offer pastoral care to other sisters. She moved to Maria Health Care Center, the nursing center adjacent to Villa Assumpta, in 2008, remaining an avid reader who also took great pleasure in music until the end of her life.
Sister Genevieve died Wednesday at St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson, and, in accordance with her wishes, her body was donated to medical research. As part of Dr. Snowdon's study, which examined sisters' early writings, then conducted cognitive and physiological testing after the age of 75, participating nuns agreed to donate their brains to research after death.
She is survived by two sisters, Irene Froehlich of Timonium, and Maureen Storch of Macungie, Pa., and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial Mass will be held at 10 a.m. Sept. 29 in the chapel at Villa Assumpta.

Do you crave the very best that fashion has to offer? If you want to impress with jaw-dropping styles from top designers, you can count on thredUP. You'll find like-new treasures for prices that are up to 90% off estimated retail!
A Brief History of Designer Clothing
The advent of designer clothes occurred in the 19th century, when machine manufacturing was first becoming popular. Designers of many items, from ceramics to clothes, would label their products to assure consumers that they were receiving high-quality goods. In the 1860s, Charles Worth became the first clothing designer to place a label inside his clothes.
Since then, the world of designer clothing has blossomed into a thriving industry. People seek out designer brands because they want to be sure that they are purchasing items of the best available quality—items that embody the ideals of style that drive the fashion world forward.
The Best Brands and the Best Looks
What is your style personality? Regardless of what type of clothing you gravitate toward, you will find a look among our selection of designer dresses, tops, jeans, and accessories. Shop items from brands that will make your friends drool with envy, including MICHAEL Michael Kors.
Put together outfits that speak to your sophisticated taste. Pair your designer tops with fabulous designer jeans to create a weekend look that will impress your girlfriends or that hot Saturday date. Alternatively, pair your favorite new blouse with some classy slacks that you can wear to work.
Give your designer items the treatment they deserve by buying accessories to complement them. A gorgeous but simple Tory Burch dress might need a chunky necklace and a pair of statement earrings in order to reach its full potential. That stunning jacket could be begging you to buy a Gucci handbag.
Caring for Designer Clothing
To make designer clothing worth the investment, you must take care of it. Many top-notch items are made from luxurious fabrics that require special attention. A cashmere dress may need to be dry-cleaned for it to maintain its shape and softness. Don't forget to oil that leather jacket so it doesn't dry out, and be sure to care for your favorite silk dress as if it were your baby. For care instructions, check the labels on your clothes. If you still have questions, you can look for expert advice on the internet.
Shopping for Designer Clothes at thredUP
Many people equate the word "designer" with "expensive," and that is often true if you shop at traditional retail outlets. Fortunately, when you shop at thredUP, you'll discover these amazing pieces at prices that are up to 90% off estimated retail. Who says you can't afford that Neiman Marcus sweater? We have designer items in a broad range of styles and sizes—you're bound to find something you can't live without!
If your new clothes don't fit as well as you had hoped, or they don't fulfill all your fashion hopes and dreams, send them back to us. Returns are easy. We want you to love thredUP as much as you love being the best-dressed person in your circle of friends.

I'm new to these forums and new to Java programming.
Swedish male at 28 years old and working atm with CNC-programming. It's not as complicated as computer programming, but it's logical thinking following a set of commands.
But I'm tired of working with that and I've always been interested in programming. I started programming textbased programs in QB back in the day and also worked a little bit with VB too. What I've done most is probably html/JS.
But now I'm looking into the possibilities to work with computer programming and thought I'd teach myself some Java to get a headstart when I start my education. I've been watching Lynda.com's Essential training for Java and now I've started with the book "Introduction to Java Programming 9th edition", by Daniel Liang.
Looking forward to be part of this community
Best regards,

For this tutorial you will need:
An alligator clip
glue gun and glue sticks
Some sort of lighter
First off, lets talk about alligator clips. There are A LOT of different types of alligator clips. Most of them will work. However I have found one kind that does not work that well. If you look at the picture you will notice that the clip in front is not at tall as the clip in the back. This is a good thing. The clip in the back is too tall and when I have used these clips in the past they make my bow stand to high on one side and can be seen more easily.
When you are buying your alligator clips just be sure that they are not like the ones in the back and you should be fine.
To start off you are going to burn the end of your ribbon to keep it form fraying. Take you lighter and get your flame going. Now take your ribbon and just hold it close to the flame. You are not actually going to put it in the flame just hold it close enough for the end of the ribbon to start melting . You will be able to see the ribbon melt.
Now take your clip and turn it upside down and put a globe of glue at the end that does not open, as shown in the picture.
Place your pre-burn ribbon on the glue.
Now you will put a dot of glue on the inside of your clip like this..
Whatever you do don't get glue in the spring that is on the inside. If you do it will not open and close as easily.
Fold your ribbon over onto the glue. It should look like the picture above.
fold your ribbon onto the glue.
This next part will depend on what type of alligator clip you have. Mine has two legs, yours may not. Put a line of glue down the length of the clip, or in my case two lines.
And lay your ribbon on top of the glue. Pinch the handle to open the clip so that you can make sure that the mouth of the clip does not get glued together.
Now you will fold your ribbon inwards to measure where you need to cut. You want your ribbon to go as far into the mouth of the clip as it can.
Once you have measured it cut and burn the end
Then while holding the mouth of the clip open. Glue the top inside of the clip.
and fold you ribbon inwards on top of the glue.
Here is what your finished result should look like.
When attaching your clip to a bow you always want to glue the side that is not flat directly to the bow. This way the flat part of the clip is held against the babies head and provides the most comfort.
This side should be against the babies head. Enjoy your bow making!
