A couple weeks ago I pinned this little number on pinterest: Maxi Dress...Beautiful? Yes Affordable? No
So, I thought I would experiment to see if I could create my own version of this $800 Maxi Dress. Here is what I came up with.
The following is the tutorial. Be aware this is pic heavy! I apologize for the horrible pictures, they were mostly taken in my basement with horrible lighting.
Pattern Pieces
1. Take your 3 yards of fabric and wrap it around your body one and half times to determine your skirt width. For me, it was approximately the width of my fabric, so I did not need to make any cuts. Next, measure from just below your chest to the floor and use this as your skirt length measurement. Cut your fabric to create a long rectangle using your skirt width by your skirt length measurements.
3. Take the bodice pattern pieces and cut out one bodice back on the fold and two bodice fronts. **My pattern pieces are for a size 4-6 for the top.** Pin the bodice front to the back, right sides together, at the shoulder. Sew it together at the shoulders.
4. Press the shoulder seams open. Next, take the sleeve edge and create a finished edge by ironing 1/4 inch and then another 1/4 inch towards the wrong side. Edge stitch next to the ironed edge. Do the same thing for the front of the dress bodice, ironing all the way around the neckline. This is where you can opt to use a twin needle. It allows you to create two even lines of stitching on the front while making a small zig zag stitch on the back which allows the fabric to keep some stretch. The bodice is loose enough that you can stitch this with a straight stitch using a regular needle and will still be able to take the dress on and off easily.
|Underside of Fabric with Double Needle
|Top Side of Fabric with Double Needle
8. Then take the elastic and wrap it around your rib cage under your chest. Cut off the needed amount. Do not pull the elastic tight while measuring it. Thread your elastic through your casing using a safety pin. Once it is pulled through, overlap the two ends by about an inch and stitch them together. Then finish stitching around the casing edge to finish off where you had left it open to insert the elastic.
9. Attach the bodice to the skirt. First mark the front center of the skirt, back center of the skirt, and back center of the bodice with pins. Use these as guides when pinning the skirt and bodice together, lining up all pins and matching the center of the bodice front (where it overlaps) with the center front pin. Pin the right sides together and stitch. The easiest way to pin the two together is to have the skirt right side out and slide the bodice (inside out) over the skirt upside down. Stitch at the top of the elastic. When you sew the two parts together you need to pull and stretch the elastic quite a bit to get the skirt and bodice to fit together. If you find there is way too much fabric for you to pull, you can gather the top in places first. (You could gather it on the bottom of each bodice piece).
10. Now it is time to add your pockets. Put on your dress and determine where you would like your pockets to fall. Mark this on your dress. Cut out 4 pocket pieces and attach the pockets using this tutorial from Burda: In Seam Pocket Tutorial
11. Finally, pin and hem your dress to the desired length.

When, exactly, did flight attendants stop caring about us?
I ask for two reasons: First, because of the luscious new trailers for the upcoming TV show "Pan Am," which depicts svelte young stewardesses -- yes, that's what they were called back then -- serving passengers.
Hard to swallow, that one. But yes, they served passengers back in the day.
And second, because of the preponderance of horror stories from readers like you that suggest things have gone too far in the other direction -- from the "coffee, tea, or me" stereotypes of pre-deregulation air travel to modern-day flight attendants who may actually hate us.
Well, "hate" may...

Enerjive Introduces Quinoa Skinny Crackers
Quinoa's popularity as a nutrient-rich, gluten-free grain (but it is actually a seed) has grown around the world in the past five years. So much so that the United Nations declared 2013 as "The International Year of the Quinoa" to recognize the Andean indigenous people who have maintained, controlled, protected and preserved quinoa as a food.
In response, all types of food manufacturers are developing products featuring quinoa. It is a versatile ingredient that complements the better-for-you trend, as it is a source of complete protein, as well as a good source of fiber and a variety of essential vitamins and minerals.
Ottawa-based enerjive is one of the first to put quinoa into cracker form with new Quinoa Skinny Crackers. These gluten-free snacks are low in sugar and sodium and are designed to help maintain hormonal and energy balance throughout the day. This assists with optimizing metabolism, boosting energy and reducing cravings, according to the company. The crackers come in five flavors -- Chocolate Fix, Cozy Apple Cinnamon, Garlic Cayenne Heat, Lemon Berry Burst and Rock Salt Crave -- and are 90 calories or less per 19g serving, which is two skinny cracker sticks.
"There's never been a cracker like this before," according to Korey Kealey, president and co-creator. Distribution is currently limited to Canada, with plans to expand to the States in 2013.

Telling Others You Have HIV
After being diagnosed with HIV, one of the toughest decisions you'll face is who to tell about your status. Friends, family, lovers, coworkers: How do you decide, and what's the best way to break the news?
There is no "right" way to disclose your HIV status. It all depends on the situation and how you get along with the people you're thinking about telling. Check out this list for some excellent information that will help you decide to whom and how and when to tell friends and loved ones that you have HIV.
George Burgess
"I think my dad had the best response when I told him I was HIV positive: 'Son, I love you. We'll get through this.' A soldier, true to his heart. You know, a soldier with compassion: 'We'll get through this, son. What do we need to do?'"
Read more about George or watch a video of him.
Wise Words: Guidance on Disclosing Your HIV Status
Telling others you're HIV positive is not something you rush into. There are important personal steps to take before disclosing your status to others.
There are plenty of pros and cons to disclosure. This article provides some general guidelines about specific people you may want to tell.
Disclosure means telling someone that you are living with HIV (HIV+). Sharing your HIV status can help with the stresses of living with HIV. But whom to tell and how to tell them can be complicated and difficult decisions.
When thinking about talking to your children about your HIV status -- or their status -- remember what you already know about your family: how your children learn new information, and what feels best for your family. There's no right way, but here are some steps to prepare.

Here at H&P we're looking forward to welcoming a lot of new things this year. Most importantly, on January 24, I invite you to check out our redesigned website. It's an exciting time for us, as we have been long overdue for a new site and it's going to be great. All the content will stay the same but it will better organized and easier to use and read.
You will find a new, cleaner look and better organization to our website. It has been completely redesigned to provide users with an easier way of finding technical fluid power articles and case histories, product releases, videos, news stories, and more. One of the most important redesigns to me is our search function. It will finally work more like a Google search and be a more useful tool for people doing searches on our website. The current one does not allow you to customize a search as well.
All content has remained the same; organization is the only thing that has changed. Popular sections, like our "Technology Zones" and "Industry Zones," have been renamed "Technologies" and "Applications" and include lists of articles, blog posts, and videos related to sub-categories organized by product type and industry use.
All product releases will be listed under the Products tab. Visitors will still find easy access to our blogs, events, Fluid Power Basics, eBooks, Bookstore, and Manufacturers and Distributors directories as well as our online Designer's Guide.
Please stop by and let us know what you think!
In addition, we return to three Fluid Power Conference & Expo events this year, and are giving them a fresh new look and feel. Our first one will be co-located with WasteExpo May 1-3, during the largest event in the waste management industry. It will cater to professionals working in the waste collection, reduction, processing, and recycling industries and focus on the hydraulics used in the machines and systems used in these industries.
The next event will be held at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, a stronghold in fluid power technology, June 26 to 27. The campus is also the home of the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power (CCEFP). The event will draw on the University's and CCEFP's research expertise and highlight some of the key research taking place there.
Finally, we'll head south to Charlotte, N.C. in October. Details and dates will be announced in the near future.

In late spring 2002, Terry Barton struck a match and lit a fire.
The flames — perhaps intentionally, perhaps unintentionally — escaped out of a holey campfire ring, then spread across a meadow, jumped a road and kept running for 215 square miles in Teller, Douglas and Jefferson counties. By the time the Hayman fire was doused, it had destroyed 133 houses.
People's dream homes were reduced to ash; mountain escapes bought with retirement savings were burnt bare. Five young firefighters driving to come help were killed in a car crash. A Teller County woman with asthma died after an attack on one of the fire's smokiest days. Water sources for hundreds of thousands were fouled. And the livelihoods of hundreds of people who depended on the forest — for tourism or ranching — were flipped upside down.
We know that Barton, a former Forest Service employee, started the Hayman fire because she said so in an interview with Forest Service investigators at the fire's origin point about a week after the fire began. That confession was videotaped. It came after several days in which Barton had lied about the fire's origin. Some investigators who worked the case believe Barton still hasn't told the truth about how the fire started.
Barton talked to the investigators willingly. She was, in fact, still employed by the Forest Service when she did. Judges upheld the confession as admissible evidence in the criminal cases against her. The tape today sits in the custody of federal authorities.
But the public is not allowed to see it. Nor is the public allowed to see reports by investigators examining the origins of the Hayman fire.
The Justice Department is worried about violating Terry Barton's privacy.

Jessie Mueller, the Chicago actress turned Broadway star, has plucked one of the major plums on the Great White Way.
Mueller has landed the role of Carole King in the new biographical show, "Beautiful--the Carole King Musical," as penned by Douglas McGrath and featuring songs made famous by King.
Based on the early life and career of the famed singer-songwriter, "Beautiful" is slated to try out in San Francisco this fall, before opening on Broadway, at the Stephen Sondheim Theatre, in January. Marc Bruni directs. Mueller most recently was a replacement star in "Nice Work If You Can Get It" on Broadway.

stealth bonus is 2/3 at no movement.Houndis wrote:So he moves only few inches, dies if anyone even touches him, and the stealth bonus is only 1/3 when he doesn't move? That sounds great. And do you mean that a sniper can only attack an object at range 10-30"? Well, that makes them easily killed if you get near enough.DarkWolf wrote:The penalty is basically -1 on everything (moving, armor, stealth, ect. ect.), except sniping, but he can't use the sniper attack inside a range of 10" and yes, either Friend or Foe will trigger this. So, if anyone get's too close, the Sniper becomes half a regular minifig, stat wise at least.
and yes, i believe it would be 5" as the bird flies, but what do we do about trapped snipers? for example, a sniper stuck in a tower that he cannot possibly climb out of? MY suggestion would be that if a sniper is trapped, he spends one turn freaking out, the next turn to smoke a cigarette (everyone knows snipers smoke cigs, REGARDLESS of how visible a lit cigarette is), and then he's calm enough to fire again. of course, all that wouldn't fit on the stat card, and it is rather... specific to a situation.
however if we DO get a stat card up, the sniper must be smoking in the picture.

Lima has developed quite a reputation as a culinary destination and not just for its food. The national cocktail has also conquered the world and virtually any self-respecting bar will serve a variation of the pisco sour.
Chile and Peru have long been embroiled in a dispute over the origin of pisco, a grape distillate with an alcoholic content of at least 38 percent. Both countries claim to have invented pisco and regard it as their national drink; the pisco sour as the national cocktail is a logical twist. Many connoisseurs prefer the Peruvian pisco over the Chilean because the grapes from Peru are sweeter. As a result, Peruvian pisco requires no additional ingredients, such as water or sugar.
A pisco sour contains only 5 main ingredients: pisco, lime juice, beaten egg white, (Angostura) herbal bitter and sugar syrup. It is key to use lime juice and not lemon juice because it contains a very different degree of acidity. The taste, however, is also influenced by the grape species that are used; pisco can be made with 8 different grape varieties. Depending on the types of grapes used and the method of preparation, pisco sometimes resembles a tequila or may lean more towards a vodka. Just as with different types of wine, discerning gourmets will distinguish all kinds of flavours in pisco, from pear to roasted almonds, from cucumber to honey. Some types of pisco are enjoyed straight up and others are perfect for a pisco sour. In addition to this 'sour' classic, there are countless other pisco cocktails, made with mango, cucumber or ginger.
There are many locations in Lima where they serve the perfect pisco sour. One of those is the Gran Hotel Bolivar, the famous hotel in the old city centre. Writer Ernest Hemingway is said to have knocked back a record number of pisco sours here. Staunch drinkers can still quench their thirst in style and order their cocktail in an extra large 'cathedral glass'.
Huaringas is a real hotspot. This multi-storey lounge is located above the restaurant Brujas de Cachiche in the Miraflores district and is known for its great variety of pisco sour cocktails. This is a popular destination for Lima locals who come here for a drink before hitting the bigger nightclubs. The menu offers more than 40 types of pisco sour, so there is certainly one that you will enjoy.
"The pisco sour is traditionally often drunk at lunch"
Huaringas, Surquillo, Miraflores 15074, Peru

Can it be that a mere 36 years ago it was still a world of neon signs, diners that offered "eats," public telephones and gigantic vinyl-roofed hardtops? It was on
Water Street
in Petaluma, California. Already those days were numbered. Beasley's, in the c.1850 Wickersham Building, had only 5 years to go before being replaced by a fancy Italian restaurant - at which I enjoyed many a zabaglione, it must be admitted. Water Street, formerly an access alley of tar, asphalt patches and plain old dirt, is now a cobbled promenade, though the now-unused railroad tracks are still there. The rest of the business district is populated by boutiques, wine shops, shabby-chic antique emporia, nail-, hair- and skin-care parlors and lots more upscale restaurants. Somehow it all makes me want to belly up to a counter for a burger and a shake. Car is a Ford LTD, film Kodacolor II, photographer me.

Launching a video game based on American football is rough going these days; EA has the lock on official players and stadiums on the professional and college level. There is one opportunity for a football product, however, as the Madden series has all but ignored Historically Black Colleges and Universities, or HBCUs. The Black College Football Experience, an upcoming Xbox 360 title, seeks to fill that gap "Madden forgot about us, so we [are] doing it ourselves," Jerry Perkins, the promoter for BCFx, told Black College Wire. The game isn't only about football, although that's the primary draw; BCFx will also come with support for the Rock Band drum set to tap into the popularity of drumlines at HBCU football games.
The game will ship with 35 songs and 65 musical cadences, although the Rock Band drums may have some challenges keeping up with the precision and speed needed to play this caliber of music. The title will feature a look at the culture of HBCUs themselves, as the Xbox 360 version will include a Museum section featuring the history of many of the schools and their football programs.
The game itself is not new: in November of last year, The Black College Football Experience was released on the PC by Nerjyzed Game Studios, a company founded by alumni of HBCUs. The social impact of having a game focusing on HBCUs was briefly a topic of conversation on several gaming blogs, but the game itself seemed to disappear without a trace; reviews of the game are all but impossible to find online. The promotion for the console version should help with consumer awareness, as the company say there's a $1.5 million budget for print and radio advertising. "We're going to make sure that we get the awareness out there, drive sales and promote it as best as we can," Nerjyzed Chief Executive Officer Jacqueline Beauchamp told The Advocate. "We typically don't like to discuss projection numbers, but at minimum unit sales we're hoping to sell at least half-a-million units. But our projections are going to be much, much higher." The game was heavily advertised on the NBC-televised Bayou Classic over the weekend.
The game may face an uphill battle at retail, however, as video game football has become synonymous with the Madden franchise, and the name of the game itself may alienate gamers. "Our shelves turn into a giant Madden ad [when the game is released]," one gaming retailer told Ars. "I'm not sure I've seen another football game sell well in our store for the past three years." When we asked if his customer base would be interested in this game he was blunt. "I'm not sure how many people are going to read the cover and pick it up."
The game has noble ambitions, and mining the past, present, and future of HBCUs and their sports programs gives Nerjyzed a rich vein of American history to tap into; these stories are rarely told and certainly can offer the gaming world a different perspective on college football. Whether this angle is enough to compete with EA, and whether the game will be racially divisive instead of a way to reach out to a diverse audience, will be a question that's answered when the game is released on the Xbox 360.

Running back C.J. Spiller came to New Orleans as a free agent this past offseason figuring that his speed and versatility would make him an ideal fit for coach Sean Payton's offense.
Then a training camp injury caused him to miss the regular season opener, and his opportunities had been so limited during his first two games back that Payton acknowledged he probably needed to give Spiller more chances to make a play.
Now Spiller is one of the main reasons the Saints have their first victory of the season, a 26-20 triumph over Dallas on Sunday night that ended with the running back's 80-yard catch and run on the second play of overtime.

- Main article: Changing of the World
The Downfall of Númenor was the utter destruction of the island of Númenor, a divine punishment for King Ar-Pharazôn's assault on the Undying Lands.
During the Second Age, Sauron, Morgoth's greatest servant, had grown mighty in Middle-earth. Defeating all resistance and ruling through terror, force, and persuasion, the peoples of Middle-earth looked to Númenor for aid. Heeding their desperate plight, the Númenorians dispatched an immense military force to Middle-earth, and after a period of heavy fighting, defeated Sauron's forces. Sauron hid within Mordor, where none dared to assail him, and re-built his forces. After once more reaching a height in his power, and with the armies of Númenor having left Middle-earth, Sauron was once more unopposed, and took on the titles Lord of the Earth and King of Men.
The Númenorians once more received word of his rise in power. Angered by Sauron's pride and wishing to avoid another difficult war, the Númenorians came once more to Middle-earth in immense military force to confront Sauron a final time. So mighty were they that Sauron's forces fled from them with barely a fight. Sauron, however, realizing he could not defeat the Númenorians militarily, allowed himself to be captured, and begged, falsely, for mercy. The Númenorians brought him back as a prisoner, though through Sauron's persuasion, he rose from prisoner to advisor to the King himself. Convincing many officials to worship Morgoth, they quickly became corrupted to his side, to the point where Sauron successfully convinced King Ar-Pharazôn to betray the Valar and besiege them.
Elendil, son of the leader of the Faithful during the reign of Ar-Pharazôn, his sons and his followers had foreseen the disaster that was to befall Númenor, and they had set sail in nine ships before the island fell. His father Amandil the Lord of Andúnië, imitating Eärendil, decided to go West to warn the Valar about the King's plans.
Flooding of Númenor
Manwë, chief of the Valar, called upon Ilúvatar, who destroyed the Great Armament of Ar-Pharazôn that had landed on Aman by crushing it under stones; he also broke and changed the world, taking Aman and Tol Eressëa from the world forever, changing Arda's shape from flat to round so that no sailor would seek the True West again. Númenor was covered by great waves and sank into the abyss, killing its inhabitants.
New lands formed in the West, islands rose and hills were formed. However the coastline of Middle-earth was not much affected, other than Tolfalas was drowned a bit, and the lands around it formed the Ethir Anduin.
Just a few people, the Faithful, still uncorrupted by Sauron managed to escape the catastrophe; they fled Númenor by ship, carrying some gifts that the Dúnedain had received from the Valar and the Elves in times of peace. These were the Palantíri, the Ring of Barahir, the Sceptre of Annúminas, Narsil and a fruit of Nimloth the Fair stolen by Isildur. They were led by Elendil the Tall and his two sons, Isildur and Anárion.
They landed in Middle-earth and met the colonists who were in the settlements of those lands among the Middle Men; the followers of Elendil united them by establishing two kingdoms which came to be known as as the realms of Exile: Gondor in the south, and Arnor in the north. The culture of Númenor became the dominant culture of Middle-earth (thus, Westron, a descendant of the Adûnaic language of Númenor, became the Common Speech). The sadness and the shock from the loss of their island home always remained in the hearts of Kings of Númenórean descent.
They were dismayed to discover that Sauron, although greatly diminished and bereft of shape, had survived the Downfall and returned to Middle-earth with the One Ring to continue troubling its inhabitants.
Meanwhile some of the King's Men had established other realms in exile to the south; of these the Haven of Umbar was the chief and continued to reign the lands there. These were known as Black Númenóreans.
After its fall Númenor was called Akallabêth or Atalantë in Quenya, meaning "the Downfallen", Mar-nu-Falmar ("Land under the Waves").

Press Release
L.A. County Says Impact of Thousands of Infections in Porn Industry "Minimal"
In Eye-Popping Legal Demurrer, LA County Lawyers to Show Complete Disdain for Well-Being of Young People Appearing in Porn as Well as Disregard for Health of the Public-at-Large
August 25, 2009
Los Angeles, Calif. -- In response to AIDS Healthcare Foundation's (AHF) legal petition for a writ of mandate to compel Los Angeles County's Department of Public Health to fight the spread of sexually transmitted diseases in the porn industry, County attorneys have filed an eye-popping demurrer that shows the County's complete disregard for young people working as performers in the $13 billion porn industry as well as revealing a strikingly blasé attitude by County officials toward potential County-wide general public health ramifications of serious infectious diseases, including transmission of several debilitating sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV.
The County's legal motion was filed last week in response to AHF's July 16th legal petition for a writ of mandate against the County's Public Health Department on the 'condoms in porn' issue. (NOTE: AHF separately filed workplace safety complaints late last week with Cal/OSHA -- California's Department of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health -- the state's health and safety regulatory and watchdog organization, asserting that 16 production companies endangered its workers in nearly 60 condom-less adult films they produced, shot and distributed. Those complaints remain under review by state health and safety officials.).
"We knew that Los Angeles County didn't care about young people who appear in porn, we just didn't think they were actually stupid enough to say so in print, as they did in their legal response to our petition for a writ of mandate to require the County's Department of Public Health to enforce condom use in the production of porn," said Michael Weinstein, President of AIDS Healthcare Foundation. "The County should be ashamed of its actions -- and the attitude represented in its legal response -- to the industry-specific and general public health concerns raised in our legal petition."
"In its petition, AHF is requesting that the County take action within the adult film industry only. As set forth in the petition, the adult film industry employs approximately 1,200 adult film performers at any given time. (Paragraph 9 of the petition.) The population of Los Angeles County is approximately 9,850,000. Thus, AHF is seeking that the County be compelled to take certain actions in regard to less than .01% of the population ... Plainly, the public need here is minimal."
Andrea E. Ross
Senior Deputy County Counsel
For the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
Demurrer to Case #BS 121665
August 18, 2009
"To County health officials, I simply ask what rises to the level of a public health concern, either for these individual at-risk actors working in the industry or for the greater Los Angeles public-at-large?" asked Weinstein, adding, "There is no firewall between porn performers and the general public."
"We are asking that Los Angles County lawyers and public health officials enforce various laws regarding public health and that they take concrete action to combat an outbreak of communicable diseases within a known population -- which County officials could do by requiring condom use on adult film sets," said Brian Chase, Assistant General Counsel for AHF.
The lawsuit was filed in Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (Case No.: BS121665), Thursday, July 16th and seeks a Writ of Mandate "compelling the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to discharge its ministerial and non-discretionary statutory duty to combat an acknowledged epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases stemming from production of hardcore pornography in Los Angeles County."
AHF filed the lawsuit after exhausting all other methods to compel the County to fulfill its obligation to protect the public's health in the wake of the mid-June revelation that an actress working in the adult film business had tested positive for HIV. At that time, AHF had urged the County to better monitor HIV and STD prevention in the region's adult film industry -- and require condom use -- or to shut down porn sets.
Since the June 17th reporting of the latest HIV outbreak -- and the subsequent report by the LA Times that as many as 22 porn performers may have tested positive in the last five years -- no action has been taken by the County to halt the spread of STDs on LA porn sets or to conduct the proper and legally-required public health follow-up with those thought to be infected.
At the time of the filing of the lawsuit in July, AHF's Weinstein noted, "The Department of Public Health has a responsibility to try and control the spread of STDs in LA County -- particularly in a commercial venue -- yet the County has not taken a single step to address this serious public health threat. As an HIV and STD medical provider, it is our obligation to pursue County action on this issue."
According to figures cited by DPH, there were 2,013 documented cases of Chlamydia among LA porn performers between 2003 and 2007. In the same period, 965 cases of gonorrhea were documented. Many performers suffer multiple infections. In the period April 2004 to March 2008 there have been 2,847 STD infections diagnosed among 1,884 performers in the hardcore industry in LA County. DPH attributes the epidemic of sexually transmitted diseases in the porn industry to a lack of protective equipment for partners, including condoms. The agency recommends condoms be used during production, but has never taken steps to ensure their use, or to protect the performers who are essentially required to endanger their health in order to remain employed.

Welcome! You have many questions, and I'm sure we can help you out. You will need to tell us a lil bit about yourself first(hobbies, any pets, why do you want a pit bull) to gain access to the forum.
To try and answer some of your question...pics 1 and 2 look like standard American Staffordshire Terriers, the last pic is an standard American Pit Bull Terrier, the pics inbetween are types of American Bullies. Since you are not in the United States, I'm not sure what breeds are allowed in your country. Are you familiar with your Country/state/province/county/community laws?
The term "Pit Bull" is a blanket term for many different dog breeds, and any mixes of those breeds. If you could tell us what your goals are to do with a dog, why you want a dog, and what you do not want in a dog...we can probably help you narrow it down. This is something you may want to ask in the General Section though, after you get approved to the forum.

Re: Halp ! And Hey Ho !
Those are not APBTS, they are American Bullies (except the first two who are probably UKC APBTs). American Bullies are rare in Europe, thank god, there's absolutely no need for this breed to become popular here. The few "breeders" who imported AmBullies to Europe are selling puppies at ridiculous prices, the dogs are not health tested and serve no purpose at all other than making money for their breeders.
Why don't you look into American Staffordshire Terriers? There are quite a few great breeders in Serbia who health test and show their dogs, you will have a much better chance at getting a healthy and stable dog if you go that route. Plus if you like the dogs similar to the first two pictured, you will like AmStaffs, they are similar, but not as overdone and unhealthy as AmBullies.

Re: Halp ! And Hey Ho !
maybe this will help you. It's a thread we had a while back on the differences of the "Pit Bull" breeds, and their registries.
Re: Halp ! And Hey Ho !
Nemanja wrote:Why Pitbull ? Their physical appearance is ABSOULTELY AMAZING ! Pit head looks badass,muscular/wide body,they look confidently ! and many many other reasons why i adore Pits.
What are your other reasons for wanting a Pit Bull/bully breed? All of the things you listed are purely aesthetic/visual. The appearance of a dog should be one of the last things on your list.
Are you prepared to deal with BSL (breed specific legislation)? Dog aggression? Prey drive? Go through and pay for a huge amount of training to ensure that your dog will be an ambassador for the breed?
The last thing the breed needs is someone getting a dog because they 'look badass'.
I hope you stick around, this forum is very knowledgeable and you will learn a lot!

Re: Halp ! And Hey Ho !
Unfortunately because they look bad ass isn't really a great reason. You need to actually like the temperament and behavioral traits of the breed as well.
Maybe do some research into the breeds history, what its temperament is like, what sort of exercise and other requirements the breed has before you actually start seeking breeders, also try to get out and meet some in person.
They are a beautiful dog (inside and out) but they take a dedicated owner.
Re: Halp ! And Hey Ho !
Nemanja wrote:I read many articles about their history,temperament,behavior towards to other dogs/humans and so on.As you said ''They are beautiful dog (inside and out) but they take a dedicated owner'' exactly,if you treat them badly,and teach them to behave aggressively,they will.
I would say you need to research some more.
There are a huge amount of variables that lead to 'aggressive' behavior (I say aggressive with quotes because ideas on what exactly aggression is varies from person to person). It is a myth that treating a Pit Bull (or any other breed for that matter) kindly will lead to a non-aggressive dog. A lot of what creates a dog is genetics (especially bad genetics if you buy from a poor breeder who is breeding solely for looks) and you can end up with an unstable dog regardless of how you treat them.
Nemanja wrote:After some researches i found something intresting,Unofortunately Pits are forbidden in my chocolate country,because our law has nothing to do with the logic of common sense,I even thought to buy AST instead of Pit after this,but my friend offered me Dogo Argentino,''I'm still at the stage of thinking''
It is cetain that i will buy one of these dogs,but still not sure which one.Pit has the least chance cuz of the law,I'm not sure about AST or AD,I prefer AD.
If Pit Bulls are banned on your country (and check the laws very carefully and make sure they don't have a blanket ban on AST/APBT/ST etc.) the MOST irresponsible thing you could do would be to buy a Pit Bull.
What characteristics are you looking for in a dog? What is your living situation like? What amount of training are you willing to put into a dog?
It is very important that you are truthful to yourself on exactly what you are capable of handling because you are looking at two vastly different breeds. The Dogo Argentino and AST are very different, you should be able to say what you like/dislike about both of the breeds tendencies before you even thing about buying one.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Shirley Temple
Shirley Temple may be in her 80s now, but for a four-year stretch from 1935 to 1938 she was Hollywood's biggest box-office draw every year. She pulled in a special Academy Award for "her outstanding contribution to screen entertainment during the year 1934" when she was just six years old, and her career really took off after that. Here are five things you might not know about the adorable screen icon.
1. She's Protective of Her Cocktail
There are few things tastier for a kid than a non-alcoholic cocktail like the Shirley Temple, a refreshing concoction of grenadine and lemon-lime soda garnished with a maraschino cherry.
What does the drink have to do with the child star, though? The Royal Hawaiian Resort in Waikiki, one of Temple's favorite haunts at the height of her fame, claimed to have invented the drink and named it in honor of the hotel's frequent customer during the 1930s. Like most any famous foodstuff, the Royal Hawaiian's claim of creating the drink is debated, though; Hollywood's legendary Brown Derby restaurant maintained that it invented the drink during the same time period.
While the drink's origins are murky, Temple is clearly protective of the drink that bears her name. In 1988 a California company tried to market Shirley T. Sparkling Soda. The former child star took umbrage at what she felt was the misappropriation of her name and told the New York Times, "I will fight it like a tigress. All a celebrity has is their name." The soda maker argued that the name Shirley Temple had become a generic term for the drink, but Temple still took the company to court, the second time she'd had to go through the legal system to squash a soda company's attempts to use her name.
2. She Was Almost Dorothy Gale
The lead role in The Wizard of Ozpropelled Judy Garland to stardom, but it could have gone to a more established star in Temple. Producer Arthur Freed met with Temple in 1938 to discuss the possibility of having her headline the picture, but since Temple was starting to lose her childish looks, he allegedly said, "First we lose the baby fat." According to a later memoir by Temple, Freed then exposed himself to her. Needless to say, she ended up not taking the part.
3. She Accidentally Inspired a Graham Greene Masterwork
When Graham Greene was a young writer, he earned a little money by writing film reviews for the British magazine Night and Day. In a 1937 review of Temple's film Wee Willie Winkie Green wrote, "Her admirers—middle-aged men and clergymen—respond to her dubious coquetry, to the sight of her well-shaped and desirable little body, packed with enormous vitality, only because the safety curtain of story and dialogue drops between their intelligence and their desire." Pretty biting hatchet piece on a nine-year-old.
Temple's representatives immediately went after Greene and the publishers of Night and Day. They sued the writer and publishers for libel; their claim was successful to the tune of $12,000 in damages.
The lawsuit might have had broader literary implications than anyone could have known at the time. Greene left the U.K. to travel in Mexico following the flap, which led some biographers to speculate that he got the heck out of Dodge to avoid being prosecuted and potentially imprisoned for criminal libel. If Greene was indeed fleeing from the law, he made the most of his journey. He turned his experiences in Mexico into the novel most readers consider his masterpiece, The Power and the Glory.
4. Hair Like That Didn't Come Easy
Temple was undoubtedly a great actor for such a young child, but it didn't hurt that she usually had a head full of perfect curls when she stepped in front of the camera. As you might expect, giving a preteen such a meticulous hairdo was no small task. Before she turned in for bed each night, her mother had to set her hair in 56 carefully planned curls.
Temple reportedly didn't love the hairstyle; she preferred the shorter, tousled locks that her hero Amelia Earhart sported. Temple did, however, understand the value of her trademark look. In 1938 she visited the Roosevelts at their Hyde Park estate. First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt asked the star to go swimming with her, but Temple declined "because of my hair."
5. She Knows a Thing or Two About Diplomacy
Temple hardly fits the stereotype of the washed-up child star. Although she might not have been a box office draw as an adult, she had quite a bit of staying power as a political appointee. Richard Nixon made Temple the United States Representative to the United Nations, and she later served as U.S. Ambassador to Ghana under Gerald Ford. She served in the State Department under Ronald Reagan and also held the post of Ambassador to Czechoslovakia under George H.W. Bush.
Temple's foray into electoral politics didn't go quite so smoothly, though. In 1967 she ran for the House of Representatives as a Republican candidate in California but lost out to longtime Congressman Pete McCloskey by around 19,000 votes. By that point, Temple had shed her cuddly former image; her opponents agreed that she was a "hawk" when it came to the Vietnam War.
A few other choice Temple facts
Lloyd's of London insured her for $25,000 with two stipulations: that she did not take up arms during war or get injured while intoxicated.
She later said she stopped believing in Santa Claus when she was six. Her mother took her to a department store to meet Kris Kringle, and the store's St. Nick asked for Temple's autograph.
When she was just six years old she was already earning over $1,000 a week. During her run at the top she raked in over $3 million.
She appears on the cover of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. See if you can find her!

The ELF version 1 object module format lacks any real method to determine the native operating system for any given binary thus mandating the ex- istence of these tools. The converted binaries created by elf2olf will no longer execute on their native operating system, only on OLF enabled platforms, although olf2elf will undo the damage.

Once Again, Using Industry's Own Methodology Shows That Copyright Exceptions Contribute More To The Economy Than Copyright
from the using-their-methodology deptThe Copyright Industry absolutely loves to trot out its "numbers" about how much copyright contributes to the economy in terms of both dollars and jobs. The problem, as we've discussed, is that these studies have a counting problem. They simply list out every industry for which you can get copyright, then sum up all the revenue... and pretend that all of that revenue is because of copyright. This is, frankly, ridiculous and stupid. And yet, because Congress and reporters don't bother researching this, they take the numbers at face value. What pisses me off about things like this is that it automatically counts my own revenue as being in support of copyright laws today, when I'm obviously anything but that. Even worse, the industry uses this argument to claim that they need more and stricter copyright laws, as if there's any causal relationship between that and the revenue in those industries.
For a few years now, CCIA has countered these claims from the copyright industry with its own study, using the exact same methodology, but counting up how much "exceptions to copyright" contribute to the economy, and showing that it's actually much larger than copyright. It's not hard to figure out that they're doing this to point out just how ridiculous the numbers from the copyright industry are. What's really funny is when totally clueless copyright maximalists, such as the folks at The Copyright Alliance, attack the methodology of the CCIA fair use/exceptions report, not realizing that they're attacking their own methodology at the same time. Amazingly, after having been called out on this, the Copyright Alliance still tosses out its own version of the study with the methodology that its own "founder" debunked when it was in a different report. In fact, despite the fact that we totally mocked the Copyright Alliance for this last year... this year they're right back at it mocking the CCIA's methodology. And, it looks like the MPAA has joined them in whining about the methodology. Apparently both groups are so clueless they don't even realize they're mocking their own methodology.
To drive this point home, the MPAA complains that the CCIA's report includes the movie industry as part of its "fair use industries." Indeed. But the studies that MPAA uses includes the exact same methodology, and includes companies like my own as a "copyright industry." The whole point -- which the MPAA and Copyright Alliance are apparently too clueless to recognize -- is that both methodologies are totally bogus and significantly overcount, but why is it that the MPAA gets to continue using its totally bogus study results, while slamming CCIA for using the identical methodology? It would be funny, if politicians didn't repeatedly fall for this crap.
Thankfully, not all of them do. When CCIA released its latest version of this copyright exceptions report showing, yet again, just how much exceptions to copyright law contribute to the economy and jobs using the exact same methodology as the famed "copyright" report. And, once again, if we use this methodology, copyright exceptions contribute more to the economy. The numbers are also growing really rapidly. So, based on the Copyright Industry's own logic... shouldn't we be adding more exceptions to copyright law?
The other good news is that Rep. Jared Polis showed up at the event where CCIA released the report and noted how it was important, and spoke out against PROTECT IP. We keep hearing from supporters of the law that only Rep. Lofgren and Senator Wyden are worried about PROTECT IP, but we're learning that a growing number of our elected representatives are, indeed, concerned about the law.
Honestly, I think that any time the Copyright Industry tosses out its numbers, it should be required that people point out CCIA's numbers as well. If you see anyone repeating the Copyright Industry's claims about how much copyright "contributes to the economy," demand that the same politicians and reporters also use CCIA's exceptions to copyright numbers which, again, result from the identical methodology.

University of South Dakota Now Smoke Free
VERMILLION, S.D. (AP) - The University of South Dakota campus is now smoke free.
The school announced in September that the USD Executive Committee voted to ban smoking on campus effective Jan. 9. The USD's Student Government had earlier passed a smoking ban resolution, which the Faculty Senate also endorsed.
Officials said at the time that while the university wanted to be fair to everyone, smoking is a health issue. They said that it is the university's responsibility to ensure the campus promotes a healthy lifestyle.
Smoking previously was not allowed indoors or within 25 feet of university buildings on campus.

Roman Pantheon Audio Self Guided Tour
Perhaps you were wondering "is there a Pantheon audio guide?" and the answer is absolutely! In fact, Getting your hands on one has never been easier! POPGuide allows you to download your Pantheon guide on your smartphone, instead of carrying around a bulky radio. This way, you can dive right into an exploration of the best preserved ancient monument in Rome, an imposing 2000-year-old church-turned-temple.
To be precise, the Pantheon is one of the most important structures of the Western civilization. It's most recognizable features include its incredibly massive dome and central oculus which both represent mind-blowing architectural achievements. Indeed, Pantheon is one of the most visited attractions in Rome, thought its proximity to many of Rome's exquisite gelaterias might've something to do with it! Whatever the case, your Roman holiday will hardly feel complete without a visiting the Pantheon. Tourists and locals alike come to marvel at the structure from the steps by the obelisk in Piazza Della Rotonda.
Though Pantheon entrance fee is zero, wandering around the Pantheon interior without really knowing what is it you are looking at and the story behind it affects the experience. Purchasing the Pantheon audio guide will provide you with an insight into the history of one of Rome's oldest buildings. There's so much to tell! You can soak in the knowledge of grand deeds, victories, defeats, and creations while enjoying the iconic moments such as passing through the grand bronze doors or standing in under the central oculus through which the sun shines (or raindrops fall) inside. Indeed, Pantheon audio guide gives your experience a whole new scope!
Product Highlights
Since 125 AD, the former temple dedicated to the classic Roman gods (now a Catholic church) has awed Romans and travelers alike with its incredible architecture, stunning art, and interesting stories scattered throughout the centuries. Our Pantheon audio guide will take you on an exciting quest at a very low cost. You will find out all the secrets from Pantheon architecture from its foundations all the way to the Pantheon ceiling.
How does it work?
The POPGuide application is free to download although the contents are not. After you purchase the Pantheon audio guide, you'll receive a QR code that will unlock the audio for you. Plus, once downloaded on your smartphone, the app doesn't need wifi and doesn't use your data, so you don't have to be worried about roaming charges.
Every good-quality tour of Rome holds a special place for the Pantheon on its itinerary. Perhaps you think that the Trevi fountain, Spanish Steps, or Piazza Navona are also incredibly iconic, and don't quite understand why Roman Pantheon is so special? Well, there's a good reason behind it!
Pantheon History
The monument was built in 125 AD by emperor Hadrian covering the ruins of Marcus Agrippa's former temple from 27 BC. Although its graying, weathered walls betray its old age, the structure still manages to catch people by surprise. When you enter the Pantheon, passing under its massive bronze doors and catch the beam of light streaming in through the oculus of the concrete dome, you will be speechless. In fact, this dome remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever built!
Interestingly, for centuries historians believed that it was the original temple, the one Marcus Agrippa commissioned in 27 BC. This little misinterpretation happened due to the inscription on the facade which reads 'M:AGRIPPA.L.F.COS.TERTIUM.FECIT' meaning "Marcus Agrippa son of Lucius, in his third consulate built this."Historians got their facts straight in the 19th century when the ongoing excavations revealed the presence of an earlier temple. So, they realized, Hadrian merely kept the original inscription when he built the new temple.
Originally, the Pantheon was dedicated to the classical Roman gods we know from mythology. Actually, its name "Pantheon" is a composition of the Greek words "pan" (all) and "theos" (gods). However, people's beliefs changed with time and, in 608 AD, the temple became a Christian church. In fact, the Pantheon's official name today is Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres.
Pantheon Architecture
The utter fascination with this church though stems from its massive dimensions and the unreinforced dome. To this day, it is viewed as the greatest architectural accomplishment of the ancient Rome. Until the 15th century, the Pantheon prided itself on having the largest cupola in the world. It remains the largest unreinforced concrete dome ever.
The harmonious and balanced look is the result of precisely calculated symmetry. For instance, the diameter of the temple equals to the Pantheon's interior height (43.4 meters /142 feet). In the center, the round opening in the roof, oculus, supposedly connects the earthly temple with the gods. However, it also plays a vital structural role as it redistributes the tension of the physical forces of the dome.
While informative, these paragraphs hardly scrape the surface of what is there to know about the Pantheon architecture and history. Book your Pantheon audio guide today and find out about Rome's best-preserved monument of ancient architecture.

Video: Tour de France tech: Europcar, Euskaltel-Euskadi and BMC
Voeckler's Colnago, Sanchez's Orbea, Hincapie's BMC
Thomas Voeckler's Europcar Colnago C59
Europcar captain Thomas Voeckler is enjoying another stint in the maillot jaune after a six-year hiatus and team sponsors Colnago have suitably outfitted the plucky Frenchman with a yellow C59 Italia. Voeckler's tenure as race leader is more tenuous this time around, though, and assuming he's unable to hold onto his scant advantage it'll be back to his standard team-issue C59 Italia.
Voeckler's machine differs little from those of his teammates, including the classy metallic green-on-matte-black finish, Campagnolo Super Record 11 group, and an assortment of Campagnolo carbon tubular wheels. Voeckler does, however, stick with his preferred FSA Plasma one-piece integrated carbon fiber handlebar and stem, and like that special yellow frame, the former French national champion also gets custom geometry, with a slightly longer top tube than usual.
One other thing worth noting: while the rest of Europcar's team bikes are equipped with two Elite water bottle cages, Voeckler's has just one. This means he never has to burden himself with the weight of two full bidons but either he or one of his teammates will have to make a few extra visits to the team car.
How "pro" is Thomas Voeckler of Europcar? Enough that his bike is only fitted with a single bottle cage
Gold, gold and more gold for Euskaltel-Euskaltel's Samuel Sanchez
Unlike annual events like national or world championships – or even the Tour de France – Samuel Sanchez (Euskaltel-Euskadi) gets to bask in the glory of his 2008 Olympic gold medal until next year's Games in London, and judging by the look of his custom Orbea Orca, he's rightfully enjoying his reign.
Sanchez's Orca gets an exclusive black-and-white paintjob in contrast to the team-issue black-and-orange livery plus an array of '8's scattered about the top tube, head tube, down tube and seatstays (plus the full date on the seatstay wishbone) to commemorate the year of his win.

In addition, there's lots and lots of gold. Included in the list of special gold parts are the seatpost collar, KCNC aluminum pulleys on the Shimano Dura-Ace rear derailleur, KMC chain, Alligator aluminum cable housing, quick-release skewers, and even the handlebar tape.
Otherwise, Sanchez's bike is business as usual, with a Dura-Ace Di2 group on his main bike and the mechanical version on his spare, an SRM Dura-Ace power meter, a variety of Shimano wheels (including a long-retired aluminum tubular used on one particularly windy stage) and carbon-bodied Shimano SPD-SL pedals, a Selle Italia SLR saddle, Vittoria tubular tires, an FSA cockpit and Elite bottle cages.

BMC's quiet celebration of George Hincapie Tour de France milestone
BMC veteran George Hincapie is competing in his 16th Tour de France this year – matching the run held for 25 years by Dutchman Joop Zoetemelk. Hincapie and BMC could justifiably pull out the stops to draw attention to this feat with a special bike for the four-time US national champion but instead, there's simply an understated raised "16" displayed on the top tube of his standard-livery BMC Teammachine SLR01 – something that typically wouldn't even show up on television or in photos.
Aside from that subtle reminder, Hincapie's bike doesn't stand out from its peers. BMC team riders have their choice between Hincapie's SLR01 and the company's latest Impec model but they all share similar builds including Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groups, SRM power meters, Fi'zi:k saddles, Continental tires, Speedplay pedals and Elite cages. Easton provide carbon wheels, bars and stems.

Hello All!
I've been interested in learning slide for quite some time and came across this page/forum by accident yesterday. From what I see, it's not only an excellent resource for slide, and all things blues, it seems to be loaded with friendly, knowledgable, helpful people. I'm looking forward to frequenting this forum, and, over time, hopefully contributing.
I've been playing guitar for about a year. I own a Larrivee D03R, a Larrivee D03-12, an American Fender Deluxe Fat Strat, an old Epiphone archtop(that I plan to set up for slide) and a beat up, but good sounding Seagull cutaway (I also plan to set up for slide) I'm still working on my guitar theory as well as my technique, but I suppose we all are.

Happy Birthday to me. *grin*
Boy, have I been a distant chump lately.
Been setting up a debian box to start getting my feet wet with php4 with a fellow from public library services.
Lucky bastard gets to play with a quad xeon, fully loaded from gateway computers. Hostname is SUPERCOW if you can imagine. (understand that around these parts, a single cpu xeon is considered impressive. Thus, a quad makes you a godlike deity.)
On a side note, I've come the conclusion as to how much of a trouble it is trying to find a project to start re- acquainting yourself with programming languages that doesn't truly suck. If anyone's looking for someone who has a whole whackload of ambition and drive, but been out of University-level OOP for 4 years, drop me a line. *grin*
more later... and Logic, where the hell are you these days?

I was inspired to make biscotti from a friend who enjoys baking biscotti on his weekends. I have made biscotti many times, with many variations on flavour and consistency of the biscotti dough. For instance there are firm doughs, soft doughs and doughs that are so soft and airy that you need to pipe them through a piping bag. Anyways, for my experiment, I decided to pack as many ingredients and flavours into my biscotti that I had around the house. I did ended up with a biscotti that was jam packed fruits and nuts. I myself am personally a minimalist when it comes to flavours, but the biscotti seemed to hail good response from the party in which I brought these to. The high density of fruits and nuts make these biscotti a little finicky to cut. They are also not as crisp and crunchy as your regular biscotti as they have a higher ratio of filling to dough.
almond, pecan, pistachio, ginger, cranberry and orange biscotti
1/2 cup almonds
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup pistanchios
1/2 cup candied ginger finely cubed
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 Tbsp orange zest
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups + 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1. toast nuts and set aside
2. cream butter, sugar and orange zest
3. add eggs and vanilla
4. add dry ingredients
5. at the end, add in nuts, candied ginger and dried cranberries
6. roll into 2 logs and chill for approximately 1 hour
7. bake at 350°F for approximately 20 - 25 minutes or until done
8. let biscotti cool for 10 minutes before slicing
9. dry out biscotti for 5-10 minutes at 300°F on each side for your desired crunchiness.

I always use cranberries, 1 tsp.almond extract and vanilla extract, and 2 tsp. cinnamon.
Maybe a dip in white chocolate on one side!
It's a x-mas staple in my house and goes great with nog, brandy, and even sweet dessert wines!

By Hindustan Times
Filmmaker Karan Johar, who is making a film based on the popular book Immortals of Meluha, believes that the movie adaptation will prove to be a game-changer for his banner Dharma Productions. "For me, it is not just another film. I would say it would be a game-changer for Dharma
Productions," the 40-year-old said here Thursday at the launch of the cover page of the third book of writer Amish Tripathi's Shiva trilogy, Oath of the Vayuputras.
Tripathi's Oath of the Vayuputras is expected to be on stands by March 2013. The second book of his trilogy was titled Secret of the Nagas.
Karan admits finalising the team for the film and handling the whole project will be a tough challenge.
"Internally, we have gone through the processes of really finding out exactly who the perfect team would be to write the script, because adapting this book is really a daunting task and (so is) putting it out on the celluloid," Karan said.
"It is not a film that you can commission to a writer and it will be ready in two or three months... you will get a first draft and second draft. It will probably be the greatest challenge that Dharma Productions has ever taken on," he added.
Asked what is his Meluha, the perfect land, Karan said: "Every movie I make, becomes my Meluha because to me, every film is therapeutic. Every film, I would say... it becomes a life at that point of time.
"So, we create a Meluha every time we put our vision on celluloid, and I think that would be any filmmaker's answer."
The book narrates the story of Shiva, a Tibetan refugee who is taken to Meluha as the king of Meluha believes in the legend that an outsider will be their saviour.

A Friday morning in the TRiO Student Support Services lab find four groups of Anatomy and Physiology students studying and working together with a tutor. Northeast State faculty members Dr. Brent Lockhart and Dale Ledford circle the classroom giving their time assisting tutors and furthering discussions.
But the session belongs to the students.
"To learn it is better to say something than to read it," explains Theron Booher, a Northeast State student and tutor who volunteers his time every Friday morning this fall to help fellow A&P students. "This method teaches students how to study and learn outside of class."
Tutors lead groups of three to four students on a variety of anatomy and physiology topics. The tutors explain anatomy while connecting the subject to a visual cue such as moving their arms or legs to demonstrate the aspects of anatomy. Each student gets a turn in the role of professor guiding his or her group.
Given the sheer amount of information students must learn, Anatomy and Physiology ranks as the most challenging subject health-related professions majors face during the first year of college. The subject is divided into two semester long sections and is required for all health-related professions majors.
The TRiO hosts the Anatomy and Physiology tutoring session at the TRiO Lab in the General Studies Building. TRiO Director Teressa Dobbs suggested moving the A & P tutoring sessions to the TRiO Lab earlier this year. The thought helps TRiO students enrolled in health-related majors and give A & P students a set time and place to get tutoring assistance.
"We volunteer our time, TRiO allows us to use their lab, and the students get a place to increase their knowledge through each other," explained Lockhart.
Booher referred to the tutoring process as "more myelinization". Defined in Dorland's Medical Dictionary, myelinization is the act of adding myelin sheath around nerve fiber. The result is a faster, cleaner movement of information across the nerves synapses – a good analogy of how group tutoring shares information with peers and develops a student's understanding of a subject.
April Hodges, a TRiO student taking part in the tutoring sessions, said the group learning environment not only gave her a more intense understanding of anatomy definitions but how they worked as a system. As the first member of her family poised to earn a college degree, Hodges also praised TRiO for helping her adjust to college life.
"The group setting gives you the back and forth communication that helps look at the subject and understand how everyone else learns it," said Hodges, a Nursing major.
Lockhart added the rotating roles meant every student became a pseudo-professor for the group.
"What we are doing here is stimulating the student's brain," explained Lockhart, professor of biology at Northeast State. "One student acts as the professor with the other students learning from them. The role of professor then moves on to another student who must take on the role of teacher."
Rita Muller heard about the tutoring opportunities in Dr. Lockhart's A&P I class. She jumped at the chance to improve her knowledge of the subject.
"The tutoring has been really helpful," said Muller, a Surgical Technology major. "One thing I really like is learning the information in a different way and understanding how everyone's style of learning differs and how we all learn from each other."
The TRiO Student Support Services program is a federally funded grant program designed to provide an array of free services to limited number of eligible students each academic year. Lockhart said the program's willingness to lend their space and time was instrumental to his department's work with students.
"If you want to know something, teach it," he said. "This is what we are doing, and TRiO is making that possible."
