General effects of this project on my wallet:
Finishing the project
Mundane detail: took me several nights and 4 coats of overly-expensive non-toxic waterproofing, but now Ike can (and I assure you, he will) be as stupidly messy and gross as he wants… and I can wash all the internals with dish soap and water, and not have to worry about staining the wood. But that is not the story you came here to read.
Prior to another trip to the Yale CEID…
… I spoke with Alex, the guy whose project was my inspiration to do my own with my additions and tweaking and the like (and my thanks to him for his help in thinking and talking through how I want to do the IkeHaus, and what worked with his setup), and he mentioned he uses a product called the Herpstat Pro to control his lights and fans… but that is $400, and takes the fun out of building the WHOLE project myself. So, I decided to stick with my initial inclination of doing the Raspberry Pi to network the controllers for the electronics. That said, many thanks to Alex for his great idea that inspired me, and his pointers on lighting and wattages!!
I also had a chance to catch up with Paul, the employee at Home Depot Hamden, who was instrumental in helping me realize I could make an effective notching system to hold the walls in place, instead of the pain of fastening the walls in multiple places. This system is what allows me to set up or take down the whole enclosure in something like 7 minutes or less. Paul and I, reveling in the victorious project:
The remainder of the physical construction centered around the roof alcove for wiring, and building a locking lid on hinges so 1) I can easily stow the cables in it during transportation, but moreso 2) to allow me to have access to all the wires without having to take the enclosure apart, if ever I needed to do so. I used half inch plywood, which was a bit small for the hinge screws… I realized, quite madly, as I split through the wood 😦 Even so, I think it turned out looking alright:
Even still, the wiring alcove looks nice, and is also framed into place by the nameplate. Many thanks to the CEID, and specifically Ellen (one of the student employees there, who put up with my lots last weekend and helped me use the laser cutter for this finishing touch), as the laser cutter allowed me to put a polished name and set of details onto the top of the enclosure. The laser cutter is yet another aspect of CEID which is like a science fiction movie in real life (alongside things like 3D printing), and one of the few areas of this project of mine which I didn't already know how to do well or had at least some experience with; so I am very grateful for the help!
On either side of the nameplate, then, one will soon find two rather small (4 rows of 20 character lines) backlit LCD screens. These each need between 7 and 11 lines to control them, so that meant I need to use 2 Raspberry Pi computers (as each only has 17 lines, and I have many other things that need controlling!). The right side LCD is controlled by the RasPi which takes care of a certain set of controls (lower sensor, electricity usage monitor, the fluorescent fixtures, and the three halogens). The left side LCD is controlled by the RasPi in charge of the high-priority controls – the upper temperature sensor, the exhaust/intake fans, and the ceramic heat emitter (basically, the system for detecting too much heat and then dealing with it, by cycling the air, and if needed, turning off the VERY hot ceramic emitter). The data displayed on them switches every 20 seconds or so, meaning a person watching Ike will quickly be able to gain a sense of everything from the ambient temperature and relative humidity of the enclosure, to seeing how much longer the enclosure has to run to pay itself off via electricity savings (having gone from 700 watts to 235 watts for 14 hours per day, it is not going to be THAT long). This and more await you, so come visit Ike and I, and see for yourself. More on this in the next (and final) blog post for this project, hopefully coming soon!
Not like I planned and thought through this WAYYYYY too much or anything, right?? RIGHT???
Video of Ike enjoying his new digs
The last portion of this stage of the project, of course was moving Ike into his gorgeous new IkeHaus. Thusly, please enjoy this brief video showing Ike enjoying himself, the general layout of the land to scale with him, his refusing to move when the camera is on, and more:
Thusly we come to the photo gallery for this project:

Been traveling around a lot lately, as I'm working for a new online drama production, based outside London. Blimey, there's a lot of online drama about, no? But I'm having real fun with this one, and think it'll go the distance.
I'm traveling again today, heading up north for The Story Engine, aka The Northern Screenwriters' Conference. If you're vaguely near the area and like a bit of screenwriting, then you simply must attend. Because if you don't, myself and event-speakers James Moran and David Lemon will pay you a visit and tickle your extremities until you perish from the sheer delight of it all. Could be messy.
Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire scribbler Simon Beaufoy is speaking at the event, which also features various workshops and of course networking ops. See you there. Or, at your place, for the ticklage.
Gentlemen, Start Your Story Engines

On Moralizing and Patronizing
For my first movie review I decided to write about Steamboy, thinking it would be easy. However I found myself writing a long review, and half of it was about the blatant moralizing in the story. Now don't get me wrong, I think books or movies with a moral or lesson are better than a mindless action movie or adventure book. Call them a book or movie with a reason.
However there's a right way and a wrong way of moralizing a story, and
Steamboy Director's Cut (2004)
Ray Steam is a boy inventor who lives in Victorian Era England. His grandfather sends him a parcel containing a device called a Steam Ball, and instructions to keep it safe. The O'Hara Foundation sends two thugs to retrieve the Steam Ball, however Ray escapes with it, and the chase is on. Soon Ray is caught in a conflict between forces trying to gain control of the Steam Ball's enormous power.
Jack the Ripper: Scotland Yard is fighting to keep 123 year old files secret
Jack the Ripper is the name given to an unidentified serial killer who murdered female prostitutes in the Whitechapel district in London's East End in 1888. He slit their throats and mutilated their abdomens. He removed internal organs from at least three of his victims. The killer was also known as 'Leather Apron' and 'The Whitechapel Murderer'.
Parliament vs Monarchy
|Houses of Parliament
This is my first historical article about the Victorian Era. I believe if I am to write a Steampunk novel based in Victorian Era Britain, I have to understand life back then. Their culture, politics, and technology. During my research I learned many interesting facts, and I'd like to share them with you.
By the time of Queen Victoria, the British Monarch was already a figurehead, and Parliament held legislative power. Ever wondered how the power transfer from Monarchy to Parliament happened?

Adobe Creative Cloud and CS6 Licensing
K2-KeyServer continues to manage license compliance and cost reduction analysis for CS6 products, and can also be used to optimize licensing and reduce the costs of Creative Cloud products. K2 provides definitive analysis of software usage that aids in optimizing licensing contracts and reducing the cost of software for all products – whether delivered through traditional deployment methods or through Cloud delivery models.
After a few comments & questions were submitted by customers on the Adobe Installation and Licensing blog in 2012 about Sassafras K2 support for Adobe software products, Adobe invited Sassafras to make a guest contribution to the forum. Many of the topics addressed by Sassafras at the time continue to be relevant for Adobe CS6 licensed products today. Additionally, K2 provides valuable cost reduction analyses for Creative Cloud licensing. Details follow. You can read the original Adobe blog here: http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2012/05/guest-blogger-john-tomeny-from-sassafras-software.html
For Creative Suite products; K2-KeyServer can be used to enforce any CS6 license model you have acquired: either Concurrent use licensing, ELA Enterprise Licensing, or TLP/CLP per-device ("node Locked") licensing rights. For more information about Adobe CS6 Volume Licensing see: http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing/policies.html
For Creative Cloud products; since Adobe is managing license compliance with Cloud activation, you can focus your attention using K2 for optimization and cost reduction for Creative Cloud. For more information about Adobe CC Volume Licensing see: http://www.adobe.com/volume-licensing.html
Sassafras K2 can track usage and license metrics for all of these license models, and most importantly, for all examples, K2's reports can show you areas where you are not using licensing that you have deployed and give you details on where you can reduce the cost of licensing. If you would like assistance with configuring K2 to manage software licensing and reduce costs, contact us for a personal K2 configuration review and consultation.
As always, the responsibility rests with the license administrator to understand both the licensing restrictions, and the licensing rights that have been purchased (e.g. suite vs. point product, concurrent vs. node locked metric, perpetual vs. subscription).

During these days, I like to take some time to look back at all the obstacles and joyful moments that the year has brought me. The year 2012 has showered me with great opportunities and many new friendships. This has been the year for me to begin a journey to inspire women of all shapes and sizes. It is important for each and every one of you to honor (and care for) the body that makes you beautiful. Style has no size limits or constraints. Together, let's make 2013 your most fab year yet!

text: Last Wednesday I experienced my first King's (formerly Queen's) day ever. It was so much fun. We took a train early to Amsterdam and spent some time in the park and on the streets. Later, we headed to the King's day festival, where we saw Kygo, Jack Ü, Yellow Claw, Robin Schultz and others. The weather, people, and music were all just perfect. Also, I don't think I've ever seen so much orange at once. I personally find orange so unflattering on me, so finding something to wear was pretty hard. That being said I was very glad with my aviators with orange tinted lenses that I found from H&M.

Golfer Receives Brain Injury In Black Friday Attack at Indian Creek Golf Club
According to cbsdfw.com, Michael Plumlee, 27, was attacked and seriously injured after finishing up his putt on the 17th hole at Indian Creek Golf Course in Carrolton this past Friday. According to witnesses, another foursome, including suspect Kevin Keo Sivilay, broke golf etiquette by hitting their fairway shots at Plumlee and his friends.
Plumlee then threw one their balls off the green, and that is when Sivilay swung an iron at the back of Plumlee's head; hitting him repeatedly with his club. Witnesses say that the attack continued after Plumlee had fallen to the ground with serious injuries.
According to police, Sivilay has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and could face up to 20 years in prison, if convicted.
But that leaves behind the question that personal injury attorneys spend their lives working towards: who is going to make this young man whole again? This young man has been severely injured after a savage attack. He could certainly sue the man who attacked him. Could he sue the golf course? That is a good question because there is not a whole lot of case law that speaks to this particular issue. So, at best, we could say "maybe" because we need to know more about the situation.
The closest case on point in Texas would be Hathaway v. Tascosa Country Club, Inc., an Amarillo Court of Appeals case from over 20 years ago, but still remains the case on point for Country Club liability. Essentially, it comes down to whether the Country Club knew or should have known about the potential dangers to their "invitee" golfers. To put it more legally:

Seven judges detained over the weekend by Nigeria's Department of State services on suspicion of corruption have been released on self recognisance bail.
They were reportedly released on Sunday but reported at the security agency on Monday for investigation purposes, a source told AFP.
Nigeria's judiciary has criticised the arrest of the judges who are said to be part of 15 judges under investigation for corrupt practices since April.
The head of Nigeria's judiciary, Chief Justice Mahmud Mohammed, has described the mode of arrest of the seven judges, including two Supreme Court judges, as "very saddening and deeply regrettable."
He announced an emergency meeting of the National Judicial Council on Tuesday to "comprehensively look into the matter."
Federal authorities said they have seized 800,000 dollars during a raids of the homes of magistrates throughout the country.
The DSS said the raid was conducted due to lack of cooperation of the National Judicial Council who refused for the judges concerned to be interviewed by the secret police services in April 2016.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Emergency beacons made by Honeywell International Inc (HON.N) can be simply removed from the Boeing 787 in about an hour, Boeing Co (BA.N) said Thursday, after UK authorities investigating a 787 fire in London, recommended de-activating the devices.
"The emergency locator transmitter (ELT) can be simply removed and the task takes on the order of one hour to perform," said Boeing spokesman Marc Birtel.
He said the device's main purpose is to alert and guide rescue crews to the location of an airplane in the event of an accident, but the equipment was not required as part of the airplane design.
"It is not a U.S. Federal Aviation Regulation requirement, but it is required by some foreign regulators for their airlines or their airspace," Birtel said.

mytaxi announced today that Marc Berg will join as the new CEO, succeeding Andrew Pinnington with effect from April 16 this year.
mytaxi has seen tremendous growth over the past 18 months. In 2017 alone, mytaxi provided 75 million trips (+337%) and increased its active passengers to more than 11 million (+194%). During Pinnington's tenure, the company grew from a local player in Germany to the European leader in ride hailing services through strategic acquisitions and dynamic growth.
Pinnington decided to step down as CEO after successfully merging Hailo, Clever Taxi and Beat into the mytaxi business, while simultaneously scaling the existing operations. Pinnington will remain in the business to ensure a smooth transition to his successor, Marc Berg.
Berg is currently the CEO, DACH of Klarna Group the leading provider of secured online payment services in Europe. He has held this position since 2016 and during his tenure, the company has seen dynamic growth in the DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) region for which he is responsible. He was also responsible for executing strategic acquisitions while successfully building out the DACH organization. In addition to his banking and e-commerce background, Berg has held various senior leadership positions in other digital and fast-growing companies.
Stephan Unger, Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Daimler Financial Services Board Member: "I am happy to have found an experienced strategist and digital executive in Marc. I am confident that Marc will further build on the enormous growth the company has seen over the past year and to further shape the organization to become a global player in the mobility space.
At the same time, I sincerely thank Andrew for growing mytaxi into Europe's largest ride hailing app and for his leadership as we merged several acquisitions into the mytaxi family. We respect Andrew's decision and are grateful for his ongoing support as the leadership transitions to Marc at this exciting stage of the company's development."
Including Beat and Clever Taxi, mytaxi currently operates in 70 cities in Europe and South America and has more than 120,000 registered drivers. In 2018, it is focused on continuing its growth strategy in relation to cities, customers and drivers. mytaxi is a part of Daimler Mobility Services which is strategically focused on dynamic growth and creating a customer-centric, broad mobility eco-system.

What is the 10% rule?
In order for your cat's diet to be complete and balanced, less than 10% of your cat's daily calories can come from cat treats, human foods (e.g. meat and fish), treats for giving pills (e.g. Pill Pockets® Treats), fat supplements (e.g. fish oil), etc. These foods are considered unbalanced foods because they do not have all the nutrients a cat needs. Breaking the 10% rule by offering more than 10% of calories daily from unbalanced foods can actually unbalance the complete and balanced kibble or canned food your cat is eating by diluting the nutrients.
What is complete and balanced?
A diet that is complete and balanced has all of nutrients your cat needs and those nutrients are balanced in proportion to the number of calories your cat is eating daily. Typically complete and balanced diets are kibble or canned foods, where each bite of food provides all the nutrition your cat needs. Have your cat's veterinary team review the nutritional adequacy statement on your cat's diet to be sure it is complete and balanced.
How many calories does my cat need daily?
Because your cat is unique, a physical exam is required to determine your cat's daily calorie needs. Your veterinarian will need your cat's current weight, body condition score, and muscle condition score to estimate your cat's needs. As an example, a 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) healthy, adult cat with an ideal body condition score and normal muscling needs approximately 215 calories per day. This means no more than 21 calories daily should come from unbalanced foods.
It's very easy to break the 10% rule!
Here are a couple examples of how quickly the 10% rule can be broken:
How many calories are in human foods?
Check out the Canadian Nutrient File at https://food-nutrition.canada.ca/cnf-fce/index-eng.jsp or the USDA's Nutrient Database at https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/ for calorie information in human foods.
IMPORTANT: Some human foods are toxic to cats (e.g. onions, garlic, chives, etc.), so be sure to check with a member of your cat's veterinary team before offering any human foods to your cat. Additionally, certain human foods could cause problems if fed to cats with medical conditions.
Until next time! Keep it balanced and keep if factual!

With passage of the Agriculture Act of 2014, the nation's farmers and ranchers now have a farm program and a safety net in place to provide assistance with yield and market losses.
The new program marks a significant turn from the old farm programs and features significant reliance on crop insurance. Farmers have options and decisions will need to be made based on individual farm and crop choices.
Farm Press staff writer Hembree Brandon has developed a comprehensive article outlining many of those changes.

The watercolor trend has found it's way into the Studio! Join us over the next four weeks as we ink up our paintbrushes (and fingers!) with Dr. Ph Martin's Hydrus Fine Art Watercolors.
Additional Dr. Ph. Martin's Inspiration on their FACEBOOK PAGE
Here's a peek inside where a small notepad is attached for those spur-of-the moment notes and ideas.
The notepad is attached with Tombow's Fastener Tabs. No need to worry about running out of paper! The back panel can easily have more sheets attached to create a refill. Tip/Hint: Mod Podge is fabulous for sealing the top edge of a tiny stack of note paper to create a custom pad.
The front cover consists of three layers of Penny Black's die cut "By the Numbers". The top layer was cut from watercolor paper. Layers of Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus watercolors and Medium Gel Mat were applied to the surface. After the desired color intensity was achieved, random areas were scuffed with emerald metallic rub-ons and smudged with Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White. The finished piece was staggered on a black die cut then a white die cut. Tip/Hint: Offset layering is a great way to add depth as well as a shadow effect to an element.
The main base of the notebook was created from a piece of heavy cardstock covered in painter's tape. Tim Holtz's printed tissue paper was applied with Medium Gel Mat before the watercolors were splashed on. I grabbed my Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleed Proof White again and used a paintbrush to "flick" speckles across the surface.
To seal all the paints and colorful goodness, the finished project was sprayed with Krylon's UV Resistant Clear (Matte) Acrylic Coating.
[Supplies: Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus Watercolors; Penny Black: Creative Die - By the Numbers 51-054; Craf-T Products Metallic Rub-Ons; Krylon UV Resistant Clear (Matte) Acrylic Coating; Liquitex Medium Gel Mat, Tim Holtz Tissue Paper; Tombow Fastener Tabs; Painter's Tape; Black Velcro]

Chicago-Kent Master Calendar. The Chicago-Kent Master Calendar is available here; it may also be accessed from the main Chicago-Kent web page and from the Record web pages (see, e.g., the link to the right on this page). This site brings together the following different calendars: the Academic Calendar, Admissions Calendar, Alumnae/i Calendar, Events Calendar, Student Administrative Calendar, and Student Organizations Calendar.

Section 14.5 also explains how you may request that directory information, including the information published in the Student Directory, not be published or released.
Notice to Students in Substance Abuse Recovery (or who want to be). If you are in recovery for a substance abuse problem, or if you are not in recovery but would like help with a substance abuse problem, consider contacting the Lawyers Assistance Program. This confidential program exists to help lawyers, judges, and law students with alcohol abuse, drug dependency, or mental health problems. If you are already in recovery, there are weekly A.A. meetings at LAP's Chicago office on Tuesdays, 12:15-1:15 pm, and Thursdays, 12:15-1:15 pm, , at 20 S. Clark Street, Suite 1820.

Reminder About IIT's Political Activity Policy. IIT's General Counsel would like to remind employees and students of the university's obligation as a tax-exempt entity to refrain from engaging in any partisan political activities. This policy applies to all academic units within IIT, including the Law School. Violation of the prohibition against such activity could jeopardize IIT's tax-exempt status. While individuals are free to express their opinions and to support political candidates on their own, it must be clear that the individual is acting on his or her own behalf and not on behalf of IIT. In no event may the name, symbols, or resources of the university be used to participate or intervene in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to a candidate for political office. Specific examples of impermissible activities include the use of university letterhead, campus mail, or university e-mail accounts to solicit support or contributions for a candidate; using university funds to purchase tickets for a candidate's fund-raiser; and putting campaign posters on university property. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please contact Mary Anne Smith, Vice President and General Counsel of IIT, at 312/567-3034.
Smoking Outside the Building. This is a reminder that the City of Chicago prohibits smoking within 15 feet of the building entrance.
Smokers should use the designated outdoor smoking area to the east of the building entrance (past the second column). Thank you for your cooperation.
Furniture in the Classroom. If you have any reason to remove tables, podiums, chairs, or other furniture from classrooms temporarily, please be sure that you return them promptly. Missing furniture can cause serious inconvenience to instructors and students.
Entering Students:
Student Handbook and Code of Conduct. Please take time to review the Student Handbook, including the Chicago-Kent Code of Conduct (located at the end of the Handbook). For future reference, there is a permanent link to the Handbook on the main Student Portal page.
Amendments to Your Applications for Admission. The Illinois bar examiners reserve the right to check information you disclose to them on your bar application for consistency with the information you provided on your application for admission to law school. The bar examiners also conduct their own investigations to ensure that you disclosed all relevant information on your bar application and your law school application. Some students have had considerable difficulty in the past when the bar examiners found discrepencies between the information disclosed to them and the information on their law school applications, or when they discovered relevant information omitted from both.
I recommend that you review your answers to the questions asked on our application for admission and amend your application if any relevant information was excluded. You can amend your application by sending a memo to my attention describing the omitted information and explaining why you did not include the information on your application. In some cases, disciplinary action under the Code of Conduct may be appropriate. But it is much better to disclose the information now, and suffer whatever consequences may ensue (if any), than to be called before the bar examiners three years from now to explain a discrepency or omission.
Most problems in the past have arisen with respect to the following two questions on the
14. Have you ever been convicted of, plead guilty or nolo contendere to, or received a period of supervision for, any offense other than a minor traffic or parking violation, or is any charge now pending against you concerning such an offense? (A "minor traffic violation" is a violation for which only a citation was issued, e.g., speeding. You must report any other traffic offense, including any offense in which acting under the influence of a drug or alcohol was an element of the offense.) You must disclose each instance regardless of whether a conviction was reversed, set aside or vacated, or the record sealed or expunged.
15. Have you ever been dropped, suspended, placed on academic or social probation or warning, or otherwise disciplined by any college or university, for any reason.

•Consider Taking Appellate Courts & Procedure. [From Prof. Steinman] All through law school you read appellate court decisions, and perhaps you plan to litigate. How much do you know about appellate review: About who can appeal, when, where, and how?; about the scope of review available before final judgment? Do you understand what the various standards of review really mean, and what standard the courts will apply to what issues? Are you sure of the degree to which the trial court record and the issues you've raised – or failed to raise – in the trial court limit what you can argue on appeal? Have you pondered when appellate courts feel free to make new law and when they leave law making to legislatures? or the role of intermediate appellate courts in lawmaking? Have you considered how the volume of litigation has altered how appellate courts operate (their internal procedures, their use of staff, the very structure of appellate court systems), and the implications of those changes for how appellate counsel must work? Do you know much about U.S. Supreme Court jurisdiction and certiorari policy, or the role of amicus curiae?
If these questions interest you, consider taking Appellate Courts & Procedure, Mon. & Wed. evening, 6-7:25 pm. We'll be using materials by Meador, Baker, & Steinman.
•Exam Schedule
Please note that you are permitted to register for courses with exams scheduled at the same time; one exam will be rescheduled for you.
The Student Handbook requires that you take your finals at the times scheduled unless you have an exam conflict (as defined below), or you have a "serious illness or other extraordinary or compelling reason" beyond your control. A Final Exam Reschedule Form will be posted later this semester through Web for Students.
A student is deemed to have an "exam conflict" if he or she has two exams at the same time, or has two or more exams within 24 hours (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., or at 6:00 p.m. and 1:15 the following afternoon). A conflict does not exist if two exams are scheduled exactly 24 hours apart (e.g., exams at 8:30 a.m. one morning and 8:30 a.m. the next morning).
•Bookstore Hours
•2011-2012 Academic Calendar
Adding and Dropping Courses. You may add an open course without special permission until the end of the first week of classes. During the second week, however, you may add an open course only with permission of the instructor. You may not add a course after the second week of the semester.
You may withdraw from any course except a required course, a clinical course, Law Review, Moot Court, or Intensive Trial Advocacy at any time prior to the date of the final exam or final paper (see § 3.10(c) of the Student Handbook). There is no tuition penalty if you drop a course during the first two weeks of classes. You will not receive a tuition refund, however, if you drop a course after the second week of classes.
Pass/Fail Elections. Pass/fail elections for the Fall semester must be made online no later than Friday, September 2. Please review section 2.4 "Pass/Fail Election" in the Student Handbook if you have any questions regarding your pass/fail elections. In order to make your election, you should:
The Registrar's Office will review your request, determine your eligibility and notify you of the status.
Spring 2012 Preliminary Schedule. The preliminary class schedule for the Spring 2012 semester is available on the Fall 2011 Term Information page. Please note: This schedule is only preliminary; there will be additions to the class list and other changes made before the schedule is finalized. The final Spring 2012 schedule will be issued later this semester, when registration for Spring classes will also take place.
Fall U-Pass Distribution. The remaining U-Pass distribution is today (Monday, August 22) from 11:00am - 2:00pm in the Front Lobby.
After Monday, August 22, you
may pick up your U-Pass from the Registrar's office.
All full-time day
students (determined by your official division status, not by the number of credit
hours you take in a particular semester) will be issued U-Passes valid from August
22 (the first day of classes) through December 17 (the end of Fall exams). New
cards will be issued at the start of the Spring semester. The charge for the card
will appear on the semester bill for each full-time student. If you registered
for Fall classes late or do not have a picture in our ID system, we will not have
a U-Pass for you. Please let us know that you qualify for a U-Pass and, after
we confirm your status, we will order one for you. For more details about the
U-Pass program, see our U-Pass
FAQ, and visit the CTA's
U-Pass web site.
Note to International LL.M. students and visiting students: You qualify for a U-Pass if you are registered for at least 12 credit hours for the Fall semester. If you are reigstered for fewer than 12 credit hours, you do not qualify for a U-Pass.
Spring 2011 CALI Awards. The CALI Excellence for the Future Award, sponsored by the Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction, is given to the student or students who receive the highest grade in each section of each course. The CALI award winners for Spring 2010 courses are available by clicking here. If a section or a course is not listed, that means the professor elected not to give a CALI award, or we have not yet heard from the professor. Congratulations to all of you who received an award - you should be proud of your achievement.
Spring 2011 Class Ranks/GPA Cut-offs. The class ranks as of the end of the Spring 2011 semester have been posted and are available through Web for Students (go into your Webmail account, click on Web for Students, then click on the "Spring 2011" link under "Grades and Rank" on the left hand menu). For those of you who just graduated, this information constitutes your final GPA and class rank. The GPA cut-offs as of the end of the Spring 2011 semester are available by clicking here.
Full-Time Students Taking Fewer Than 12 Credits. Students graduating at the end of the Fall 2011 semester who need fewer than the minimum number of hours to graduate may take fewer credits without special permission. If you will be taking fewer than 12 credit hours, you will not be automatically included in the student health insurance program - you will need to opt in to the insurance program. Please see the Student Health Insurance FAQ for more information. In addition, if you take fewer than 12 credits hours, please contact the Registrar, Jerry Seaton, so he can make sure you are still coded as full-time in the registration system.
Tuition Discount for Graduating Students Taking More than 87 Credits. If you will be graduating at the end of the Fall 2011 semester, and will be taking more than the 87 credits required to graduate, you may receive a 50% discount on each credit you take over the required 87 credits. If this affects you, please contct me by email no later than Friday, September 2, and I will arrange for the credit to be applied to your account.
Academic Counseling. I am available for counseling about course selection, certificate programs, bar preparation, academic rules and regulations, and other academic matters.

The Dayton Flyers went on the road and took care of business, downing Richmond 87-81 Wednesday night.
Anthony Grant's team is back to .500 — again.
Is this the time the Flyers turn the corner and start to play like a conference contender?
No one really knows.
Again the formula for success was seniors Josh Cunningham and Darrell Davis leading the way (a combined 37 points) with Trey Landers contributing a career-high 18 points.
RELATED: 4 reasons the Flyers won at Richmond
Next up is a very beatable VCU team Friday night at UD Arena.
Unfortunately, beatability hasn't been much of an indicator this season if Dayton will win, and neither has playing at home.
John Crosby and Kostas Antetokounmpo had nine points apiece off the bench while this night's loser in minutes roulette was Jordan Davis, who started but saw only 10 minutes of action…
Elsewhere in college basketball, Middletown's Vincent Edwards scored 10 points for Purdue as the fifth-ranked Boilermakers won at Michigan 70-69 in a game that could end up looming large in the Big Ten race, and Miami University was also a winner last night.
Intriguing late signee Nike Sibande led the RedHawks with 17 points while Darrian Ringo added 16 points and seven assists as Miami downed Kent State 80-69 at Millett Hall…
Tuesday night was not short on drama in high school basketball around the area.
At least four games were decided at, close to or even after the final buzzer.
Versailles, with Ohio State signee Justin Ahrens, suffered its first loss of the season when visiting Fort Loramie's Dillon Braun made a pair of free throws with less than a second remaining to break a 46-all tie.
He was at the line because Tigers coach Travis Swank called a timeout he didn't have after Evan Berning hit a game-tying 3-pointer for the Redskins.
Berning scored eight points and was credited with making life tough for Ahrens, who finished with 12 points.
Elsewhere, Matt Welker made Dayton Christian a winner over Yellow Springs when he made two free throws after time had expired, Michael Kriel hit a game-winner with less than three seconds to go in overtime for Butler against Stebbins and Triad beat Greeneview on Hadley Levan's runner as time expired…
Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals' offseason continues in earnest.
My take on whether or not Blake Bortles has surpassed Andy Dalton when it comes to NFL quarterback quality resulted in lots of discussion -- mostly supportive of Cincinnati's signal-caller -- and that was pretty much the point.
Dalton has done more in the league, but nothign is static. Everyone is constantly getting better -- or worse. That's part of what makes it interesting!
Both Bortles and Dalton had better seasons than Joe Flacco if that interests you.
Finally, Jay Morrison had a nice summation of what challenges face the Bengals heading into 2018.
I'm betting the offense improves because the offensive line is more likely to be better than not, Joe Mixon should be even more effective in year two and presumably they'll get something from John Ross.
Those things would all benefit Dalton, of course.
The defense has plenty of room to improve, too, with Carl Lawson and Williams Jackson entering heir second seasons on the field and more experience for Nick Vigil and Andrew Billings.
I have zero expectations for the leadership void to be filled.

"I push net, dig bait and fish in my 'Vass SuperNova' waders, they are without doubt the best PVC / Rubber waders on the market, and these are the reasons why. They are totally comfortable, allowing me to bend and kneel with ease, the Double layer on the knees cushion me from the ground as well as add strength, and the waders don't restrict my movement , speed wins matches , these waders don't slow me down . The straps adjust easily and are comfortable even over just a thin t-shirt and most important of all they don't restrict my upper body when casting. The straps are elasticated but unlike some other brands they don't need constant adjustment, once you set them they stay set .The boot part is tough with a thick sole offering plenty of grip, strength hasn't compromised the comfort on your feet, walking distance in these boots is no problem.
When I'm fishing in my waders I am warm and dry whatever the weather, keeping me alert and allows me to concentrate 100% on fishing the match
Callum Graham (England Junior Fishing Team)"
"I have to say they are the best waders that I have owned over the many years that I have been fishing.
I always buy quality waders and have owned many pairs of Ocean waders studded and non studded, I noticed over the years that Oceans quality has dipped thinner rubber and the last pair I bought were very snug fitting. However the Vass wader I have worn to death and found them to be the best waders I have ever owned. Hard wearing soles and the extra room in the body for those that are carrying a bit of extra padding is fantastic! The upper chest draw-cord and also the detachable straps, again, is a great idea so you can role the waders down to your waist and secure using the unique Vass braces as a belt with no problems. Additional reinforcement on the knees is also a great idea as with previous wader I have found that I put holes through them when kneeling down.
Blog from Andy Bunston (Sept 2011) on Vass-Tex 740 SuperNova Chest Waders"
"For the past six months I have been using the new Vass-Tex 'SuperNova' Chest Waders, and I am very impressed, good strong reliable waders. The benefits I have found with these Vass chest waders are the reinforced knee area, Velcro storm flap on the internal pocket (to stop phones, clippers etc from falling out when bending over very important when stood in water) and the studs on the soles of the boots are superb, giving excellent grip on slippery surfaces.
I would recommend these to anyone thinking of purchasing a new set of chest waders.

"Earlier this year following discussions with a former well established company (Vass Rainwear & Waders) who were trailing a new style of chest wader. I was really pleased to be sent a pair of studded chest waders to put through the daily rigours of hard competitive match and pleasure angling.
The knee areas on the front have been 'reinforced', this is a brilliant improvement as over the years this has been an area, given the varying grounds, that anglers face in the UK the strain on the knee area of other waders caused damage. I can now confirm that the modification has much improved the product given the user plenty of confidence when kneeling down and scrimmaging around the rocks when collecting bait.
The internal pocket has also been improved especially when faced with severe conditions it allows you confidence to know your keys/Mobile will stay dry no matter what weather is thrown at you.
Finally and most importantly the boot has been improved that to me is the most important part of the regeneration of these fine Chest Waders coupled with studs they are brilliant, well done Vass

Yesterday I had to deal with a very frustrating issue. I was forced to use my old laptop that I personally didn't use for a while and whenever I tried to type in a URL of my own website or any other website in browser I would be redirected to Ask.com search results (or ad results). This happened although the URLs I was typing were correct, so it definitely felt like my Chrome browser was hijacked.
The fix was quite simple (although I still have hard time to understand why I would be redirected when my URLs were correct). Here is what to do:
- Click that strange button to the right of your browser as shown on the image below. When you hover over it it says: "Customize and control Google Chrome". Then choose Settings from drop-down menu.
Yeah, I always have that many tabs open 🙂
- A page will open. Scroll down to where you see:
Set which search engine is used when searching from the omnibox. Sure enough, you have Ask.com chosen. Change it to Google or another search engine you can live with. Voilà!

There's nothing like getting to
decorate a little girl's room...
my husband (God bless 'im) recently pulled the carpet out of our third bedroom and laid down the white-wash wood flooring from IKEA for our daughter's new bedroom, sans crib and diaper changing table (Woo-hoo!!).
I absolutely cannot paint free-hand, but I knew I wanted some kind of cherry tree motif in the room. I ended up finding this adorable wall decal at Amazon.
I painted the walls a pale gray just because I didn't want the room to be too saccharine sweet, since this also doubles as our guest room.
(IKEA Cherry Blossom Light and Nightstand, Hobby Lobby Old-Fashioned Alarm Clock)
This lamp is dim enough to serve as a nightlight and bright enough as a second light when company comes over.
(IKEA Tranby Mirrors, Alina Gray Quilt, Alvine Duvet, PB Wire Wall Letter, spray-painted silver)
(IKEA LACK Shelves, Vases, Blomster Flowers)
This was an ugly brown light that'd been hanging in the boys' room, but I actually loved the shape, and was inspired by one I saw at Pottery Barn Kids, so I removed all the crystals and spray-painted it this lovely shade of pink.
The paper pom-poms were made from tissue paper, but I've seen them in kits at Walmart and Hobby Lobby.
(IKEA MALM Bed, Target Simply Shabby Chic Silk Drapes)
(Garnet Hill Feathered Friends Percale Sheets)
The other set of floral sheets you see the pictures at the top are from KOHLS.
I wanted a fun, unique way to display all Makenzie's hair bows and I found this AMAZING Custom Made Tutu bow holder from the Add A Lil Charm Etsy store. She'll custom make whatever colors you need and it even comes with extra ribbons on the back for extra storage.
The knob it's hanging on was from Hobby Lobby.
Definitely, need to give a shout out to Marie D's and luvable creations (she makes bows made to match for Gymboree) for all the cute hair things you see here. LOVE THEM...

Political Tensions Can't Put A Damper On Efficiency's Bright Future
Energy efficiency policy experienced a set-back this week as the Shaheen-Portman bill (S. 2262) was derailed before reaching a final vote on the Senate floor. It has been seven years since Congress has passed a major energy bill, and non-energy efficiency related pent-up political issues were blamed for contention over the legislation.
In other words, the disagreements over Shaheen-Portman had nothing to do with the bill itself; everyone agrees about the merits of energy efficiency. After all, the House of Representatives recently passed energy efficiency bill H.R 2126 with overwhelming bi-partisan support, and the President announced last week that the Administration would provide $2 billion in additional funding for energy efficiency performance contracts.
Once you step outside of the political bubble even further, it's clear that energy efficiency is a cause that individuals and organizations are supporting with enthusiasm – now more than ever.
Brad Plumer recently authored an article in which he asks: How much energy could the US save if it really tried? We've already doubled our nation's energy productivity since 1970, and concerted efforts in the coming years will allow us to do the same by the year 2030. We need to engage local stakeholders, incentivize household efficiency, uphold more rigorous building standards, and break through other barriers to double US productivity (again).
Alex Laskey of Opower weighed in as well, explaining that energy efficiency is a cause that people from all political parties, belief systems, and lifestyles can support. Plumer, Laskey, and many others are engaged in important dialogues to spearhead the adoption of energy efficiency practices across the US.
Energy efficiency has moved beyond the op-ed pages, as well. Georgetown University launched a competition in April with a $5 million prize for the community that leads the way in energy efficiency. The GUEP aims to foster innovation and creativity to facilitate energy savings across the US. Eligible communities have until June 30, 2014 to enter the competition, which will run between 2015 and 2017.
Adding significant backing to the efficiency creative front is a $10 million US Manufacturing Innovation Fund, which was announced earlier this year and is a partnership of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, Walmart, and the Walmart Foundation. They're now accepting applications from non-profits, universities and think tanks, so if you know a group with applied research projects that will advance innovative solutions – particularly in areas identified as major challenges – to lower the cost of making consumer products in the U.S. then spread the word!
Lastly, the Alliance's annual EE Global Forum is coming up next week – bringing stakeholders in the energy efficiency community from around the world to Washington D.C. for high level discussions aimed at identifying actionable plans that will drive the future of energy productivity. The Energy 2030 On the Road campaign will be making an exciting announcement at EE Global—proving, once again, that work on energy efficiency continues full steam ahead, regardless of recent political setbacks. We encourage you to register so you can learn about another efficiency initiative that has already gained support across the country. Let the energy efficiency work and inspiration continue!

AT&T cuts off Usenet in the US
AT&T has followed Time Warner and Comcast by shutting off all access to Usenet groups. Usenet is a very old and little used (outside of porn and file sharing) method for communication.
AT&T and others claim the move is to help cut down on the distribution of child pornography, but may also have caved to pressure from the entertainment cartels.
Of course you can still get to usenet groups outside the US by using a proxy server (something like TOR or XenoBank) but for the majority of users in the US usenet is gone.
The move brings up the question of if an ISP has the right to censor traffic and act as internet police.
Read more here.
While the move is being claimed as part of a move to fight kiddie porn, it is equally likely to be due to pressure from the Entertainment business which has long seen Usenet as a hot bed of pirate distribution. While many Usenet users hoped that it would just be the 'binaries' section which would get banned, it appears the big US ISPs have decided
it is better safe than sorry.
Usenet is one of the oldest Internet communications systems around having been established in 1980 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University. As such it pre-dates the World Wide Web.

Book summary:
After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.
Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
Yesterday I posted my review for Throne of Glass novellas. Today I have Throne of Glass review for you.
I believe when a great book is read at perfect time then the book becomes even greater! Maybe that doesn't make a lot of sence, but maybe it does. Throne of Glass is a book that brought me back to fantasy. Even though I've never run away from it, the big fantacy lover I was has been hidding for some time now. I believe I've found it again.
At the beginning I was scared of reading this book. Mostly cause I though that Throne of Glass would be nothing more than repeating novellas. It was hard to imagine that it was possible to create the story that doesn't have a lot of digressions. But it turned out that I knew nothing about Sarah's writing abilities. Throne of Glass was everything but repeating the novellas. It has its own story which is going to take you into its world.
Basically after Celaena has been punished and sent to survive in the most terrifying place, the light at the end of the tunnel shows up. The one and only Crown Price is there and had an offer for her, the think she wants the most - freedom. Even though that means working for the man she hates the most. She goes back to Rifchold where she once more becomes assassin. One year left trace on Celaena's abilities and strength but Captain Westfall is there to help. Mysterious and I must add bad-ass the captain of the guard. Being young and beautiful no one think she is able to win a competition but only because they don't know who she really is.
I could see why some people don't like this book so much. Famous love triangle is a little bit cliche and some people could find those different POVs confusing. To be frank I cannot tell you a lot about it, cause I was so cough into the story that I haven't paid attention. For me Throne of Glass has more than interesting story and fascinating characters. In this case I won't ask for more.
Until the next time,

This is a deck of many surprises, all of which are artfully integrated into its design. A delightful, deck-level garden area, a private space off the master bedroom, and a unique treatment of movable planters combined with ground exits are just a few of the highlights. The deck wraps around most of the rear of this home and encompasses over 850 square feet. The largest portion is accessed from the gathering room and dining room via three sets of sliding doors. There's plenty of space for table and chairs just outside the dining room. The deck sits on the ground level, so steps are not required to reach the backyard. Built-in planters are set at right angles to the two ground exits, giving the deck's perimeter an interesting jagged shape. The garden area is an open space in the deck; the garden is planted directly in the ground just below. This is a simple design, but highly effective; the garden can be viewed from the gathering room, and watering and planting are performed from the deck. Benches surround the garden area, providing seating and safety. Tucked around the corner, a small, intimate area adjoins the master bedroom. An exit to the ground is provided here as well. Though it is adaptable to any size or style of house, this deck was created to complement Home Planners Design HWEPL00633.
All plans are drawn at ¼" scale or larger and include :
|Reproducible Set
|For inexpensive local printing / making minor adjustments by hand. 1 printed set, typically on Bond paper.
|Single Set

If you're on the cusp of a milestone anniversary, you've just survived a rough patch or you just want to remind your partner that you're still committed to your marriage, having a vow renewal ceremony is a beautiful way to re-affirm your love and devotion to each other. After all, just like newlyweds, couples whose love has survived the wear and tear of marriage deserve a lavish party too. In addition, renewing your vows will give you a chance to celebrate with all the new friends and family who have come into your life since you first said "I do." While you can renew your vows anytime, having a ceremony as your anniversary party with custom 40th anniversary invitations is a great way to mark the milestones. Let these wedding vow renewal ideas inspire you to create the wedding of your dreams… again!
Wedding Vow Renewal Ideas: The Ceremony
Should the bride wear white again? Do you need attendants? Who officiates? Since you're already legally married, deciding on a vow renewal ceremony can be difficult. The good news is, a vow renewal ceremony is much more laid back than a wedding ceremony. It can be anything you want it to be! You can hire an officiant, ask a trusted friend or family member to lead the ceremony or forego an officiant all together. The bride can walk down the aisle alone, with her children, with her groom or not at all. And if her wedding dress still fits and is in good condition, she's certainly welcome to wear it again.
While a wedding ceremony is all about two families joining together and two people becoming one, the idea of a vow renewal ceremony is to celebrate the people you have become and the life you've created together. Use personal touches from your own unique personalities to create a beautiful ceremony you will both love. Here are some ceremony vow renewal ideas:
- Have a casual outdoor ceremony in your backyard, a friend's yard, a park or a garden. Obviously this ceremony is ideal for summer, and it's best to have a back-up plan (or at least a cover). Though you'll have to take chair rental fees into consideration, this type of ceremony can be very inexpensive, particularly if there are a lot of fresh flowers. All you'll need are chairs, an aisle runner, plenty of flowers and some kind of arch or place marker for the spot where you'll stand. Make sure your guests will be as comfortable as possible. Try to seat them in some shade and keep citronella candles on hand to keep bugs at bay.
- Have a church ceremony, either at your regular church or a big, beautiful cathedral you've always admired. If you are religious, you'll likely want to make your promises in front of God just like you did the first time around. Or, if you never got a true wedding ceremony when you got married and are a traditional couple, you can have the wedding you've always dreamed of. Every bride that wants to walk down a church aisle deserves that privilege, so feel free to have a church vow renewal ceremony if that's what you desire.
- Have your ceremony at a spot that has special meaning to you… rent out the lounge where you had your first date, the theater where you saw your first performance together or the restaurant where the proposal took place. Many public locations can be rented out for private parties, and this way you could combine your ceremony and reception into one fun-filled bash.
- If you had a big wedding the first time around, consider a destination vow renewal. You could return to the spot where you had your honeymoon, jet off to Vegas and get re-married by Elvis, elope to a tropical paradise or just enjoy a relaxing weekend getaway at a bed and breakfast that will accommodate your needs. If you were planning an anniversary vacation or a second honeymoon, this option will definitely be the most frugal. You may decide a private vow renewal ceremony with just the two of you will be the most special option for you. Also, if many of your friends and family members live far away from you, this option will save them any hurt feelings or guilt.
- Wedding ceremonies trend to have a serious tone, but a vow renewal can be much more fun and playful. That being said, consider a themed ceremony for your second big day. If you're theatrical people, you can host your ceremony at a theater and have a Broadway theme. If your anniversary is in autumn, you can have a Halloween-themed party (click here for more Halloween theme ideas). You can go vintage with lace, pearls and old music, or you can turn it into a fairytale land. The sky is the limit when it comes to vow renewal ideas, so get creative with your ceremony.
Wedding Vow Renewal Ideas: The Invitations
Once you've envisioned your ideal vow renewal, it's time to send out invitations to your loved ones letting them know you've decided to take the plunge again. There's really no rule that states who must be invited to a vow renewal, so invite guests at your discretion. If you're close with your immediate family they'll certainly expect an invite, but there's no need to invite your second cousin who lives out of state this time around. If you'll have a reception, keep your budget in mind and plan your guest list accordingly.
You can order your vow renewal invitations from any site that designs wedding invitations. One site in particular, Wedding Paperie, will allow you to fully customize your invitations which will be necessary for a vow renewal. Wedding Paperie also exclusively offers booklet-style invitations. The booklet invites allow you eight pages of space, so you can fill your guests in on your love story while inviting them to celebrate the continuation of it. You can add old photos and stories from your relationship that even your close friends may not have known. When your guests arrive at your vow renewal ceremony, they will already have a deep appreciation for the love you've shared over the years and will be excited to watch you renew your commitment to each other.

Wedding Vow Renewal Ideas: The Etiquette
While your wedding vow renewal ceremony and reception can be whatever you envision it to be, there are a few etiquette rules you should try to abide by if possible. These are not set in stone but are rather general guidelines. Here are some tips to keep in mind when consider vow renewal ideas:
- Do not register for gifts. While the blender, toaster and towels you received as wedding gifts may no longer be useful, it is tacky to request gifts at your vow renewal. Some of your guests may bring gifts, but they should be from their hearts, not out of expectation.
- Don't throw bachelor or bachelorette parties. You're re-affirming the commitment you've already made to each other, not celebrating your final moments of freedom!
- Consider writing your own vows. This is not necessary, of course, but it will add a deeply personal touch to your ceremony. At your wedding, you are promising what you will do. At your vow renewal, you can talk about what you've experienced together since that day and what you can promise from this day forward. There are many websites with vow samples, and if you're still stumped, you can hire a writer to help you.
- Don't have attendants. You can incorporate your children into the ceremony and invite your original bridal party to attend so you can honor them, but there's no need to select a large wedding party and coordinate their roles. The exception to this rule is if you didn't get a wedding the first time around and consider your vow renewal to be your "official" wedding.
Use these wedding vow renewal ideas as guidelines to plan your perfect day, take two. Congratulations on having a love worth celebrating!

Plant for Peace bars come in three varieties: Mulberry Apple, Mulberry Chia Seed and Mulberry Cocoa Orange. They are 100% natural and packed with antioxidants, minerals and vitamins. They are made using wholesome ingredients such as organic mulberries, seeds, apple and raisins with no nasty additives whatsoever. They are suitable for vegans and are a low calorie, nutritious and really tasty, fruity snack.
However, even more excitingly than having a new superfood bar on the market, Plant for Peace helps farmers in conflict zones in Afghanistan turn their lives around. The organic Mulberries in the bars are exclusively grown on small Afghan farms, enabling farmers to transform their fields from growing opium for the heroin trade, to growing fruit for the superfood bars. All profits from the bars will be reinvested to fund further fruit tree planting, helping even more farmers to transform their lives. Plant For Peace aims to revive the agricultural industry which was destroyed during the war, and offer farmers an alternative and sustainable livelihood. I think this is an amazing initiative for everyone involved. As a consumer, I love knowing that my money will help support these farmers and this great cause - plus the bars are really good, healthy and vegan. Win win!
Plant for Peace bars cost £1.19 (£2.99 for box of 4) and are available from Sainsbury's in three flavours: Mulberry Chia, Mulberry Cocoa Orange and Mulberry and Apple.
