When Laurie Mossey's 20-year-old son died, it was a pair of pyjamas that helped her during the dark days.
The Abbotsford woman lost her son Tyler Miller after he took tainted ecstasy. Depressed and not wanting to get out of bed or leave the house, Mossey received the pyjamas as a gift from a friend who had also lost a child.
"Every day I wore my pyjamas, I didn't want to get out of them," Mossey said. "You don't want to get dressed when you've lost a child."
In an effort to share the simple but profound gesture, Mossey has created the "Pyjama Project", sending pyjamas to grieving B.C. mothers whose losses she's heard about through news reports or friends.
"To sit in and feel comfortable and not have to worry about getting dressed and to feel comfort in knowing that there are other mothers out there who know that you're going through," she said.
In addition to the pyjamas, Mossey sends a book called 'Experiencing Grief'.
"And I'll also write up a personal letter for each of the moms."
The project received a financial boost in December when a local high school partnered with the Abbotsford Hospice to show their support. Local businesses also made financial contributions.
Mossey is also reaching out to the families of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on Dec. 14.
"Their circumstances are different but the pain is the same and I know how they feel," she said. "To send pyjamas to them would show them that people all over the world support them and understand their pain."

From Hard Candy to Caboodles, the '90s Beauty Essentials We Couldn't Live Without
There's a reason New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees, N'Sync, The Backstreet Boys, and Boyz II Men all reunited this past summer—we are deep in the middle of '90s nostalgia. Needless to say, our favourite part of the decade was a pink Caboodles full of Hard Candy rings and brown lip liner, a statement we knew our favourite '90s stars would agree with. So we asked Melissa Joan Hart and Candace Cameron Bure to help enumerate the decade's best. From Herbal Essences Shampoo to Chanel's Vamp nail polish, check out what we miss most, above.
Melissa Joan Hart
"I was one of the millions of teens that bought into the hype of the androgynous scent ck1 in the '90s," says Melissa Joan Hart. The Clarissa Explains It All actress currently stars in Melissa and Joey (yes, with Joey Lawrence) and says she'll never forget that ck smell. "It was like the Abercrombie & Fitch of my day; I could recognise that scent today in the middle of a 2,000 cow dairy farm."
Urban Decay & Hard Candy
The decade's must-have brands were Urban Decay and Hard Candy. The former was badass, with totally inappropriate for school eyeshadow colours and nail polish packaged in tiny liquor-like bottles. The latter was sweet as can be, with glittering polishes topped with rubber rings and an array of colour cosmetics delivering sparkles to the masses.
Bonne Belle Lipsmacker ($2) in Dr. Pepper
Although these lip balms came in a variety of flavours, we're pretty sure the Cher and Dionne's of the world were Dr. Pepper devotees.
Herbal Essences Shampoo and Conditioner ($5)
The commercials said it all: A beautiful woman having way too much fun in the shower—YES! YES! YES!—obviously thanks to her climax-inducing shampoo and conditioner.
Clinique Lipstick ($15) in Black Honey
This Clinique classic insists on being a makeup bag classic—as it should. The easy-to-wear, super sheer colour looks great on everyone.
Candace Cameron
"The '90s were all about my hair. I couldn't live without Infusium 23's Leave In Moisturizing Treatment ($4), L'Oreal Mousse ($6), the Elchim hair dryer (the brand I still use today), and Super Hold Aqua Net ($4) or Sebastian Shaper Plus Hair Spray ($22)," says Full House's DJ Tanner, better known today as Candace Cameron Bure, who just penned a book, Balancing It All.
Sun-In Tropical Hair Lightener ($4)
A bottle of this was the go-to warm-weather friend. If you had the right hue, it gave your hair subtle honey streaks or turned blonde locks platinum. If you didn't, well, you spent the rest of the summer a reluctant red-meets-orange head.
Liz Claiborne Perfume ($20)
This covetable geometric wonder was a must-have accessory in the early '90s. We can't quite remember the scent, but we do remember babysitting every Saturday night until we could buy the bottle in all three primary colours.
Revlon Lipstick ($5)
Depending on the year and your clique—goth, raver, cheerleader—you had your must have shade of Revlon lipstick. Raven Red, Toast of New York, Rum Raisin, Wine with Everything, Cherries in the Snow, and Toasted Brownie were the favourites.
Caboodles ($12)
It's possible that Caboodles were just a grand pastel plot for mums to get their kids to clean up, but it didn't matter. We schlepped all of our beauty products around in them anyway.
Brow Lip Liner
From highlighting a nude lip to enhancing a bold brown pout, wet 'n wild Lip Liner ($1) in Brandywine 666 and M.A.C. Lip Liner ($15) in Spice were the best way to say "kiss me." The second best? "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer.
Sea Breeze Fresh Clean Astringent ($5)
Now that we know a thing or two about beauty, we realise stripping our skin of oil was a bad idea. But back then? We were sure that the sting meant it was working really well.
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Polish ($27) in Vamp
"Vamp nail polish?" head mean girl Cordelia asks Buffy in the 1997 pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer to test just how cool she really is. "Um, over," Sarah Michelle Gellar answers. Maybe so for the second half of the nineties, but the product flew off the shelves for years and beauty obsessives rejoiced when Chanel brought back the colour in the mid-2000s.
Sticky Lip Gloss
Why was the lip gloss of the '90s so sticky? Who knows, but we were equal parts obsessed with the Body Shop's Kiwi Lip Balm and M.A.C.'s Lipglass ($15). The former may have looked like a little pot of green Nickelodeon slime, but this tiny container of awesome gave our lips the perfect sticky shine. (Also, who wouldn't want to make out with someone who tastes like kiwi?) And Lipglass, let's just say we still have a tube—for nostalgia's sake!
Noxzema ($5)
The tingle of a scoop of this deep-cleaning face cream was the perfect reminder that you too could have skin like '90s Noxzema girl Rebecca Gayheart (who, by the way, played girlfriend to 90210's Dylan McKay for a hot minute).
Sun-In Tropical Hair Lightener ($ ($4)
Sea Breeze Fresh Clean Astringent ($5)
Bonne Belle Lipsmacker ($2)
Aqua Net Hair Spray ($4)
Chanel Le Vernis Nail Polish ($27)

Ford, MIT, Stanford Assemble To Solve Autonomous Car Problems
Today Ford announced the equivalent of a superhero team-up for autonomous cars. The huge automaker will be working side-by-side with MIT and Stanford to solve two major problems that still stand in the way of autonomous auto technology.
Today Ford announced an engineering dream team to help the automaker bring the self-driving car closer to fruition. Ford will be working side-by-side with MIT and Stanford University to solve some of the major problems that still stand in the way of autonomous auto technology.
MIT will focus on safety by improving a car's ability to predict the movements of other vehicles and pedestrians' actions. Meanwhile, Stanford will investigate ways for cars to see around obstructions, according to a Ford's press release.
"Our goal is to provide the vehicle with common sense," said Ford global manager Greg Stevens in the release. "Drivers are good at using the cues around them to predict what will happen next...Our goal in working with MIT and Stanford is to bring a similar type of intuition to the vehicle."
This kind of work is similar to Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communications (or V2V) technology, a network of connected cars that feed data to one another, giving cars 360-degree awareness and the ability to evaluate risky situations. Ford's research aims to go a step further by using algorithms to predict the actions of nearby pedestrians and cars and to act accordingly.
Stanford isn't a newcomer to autonomous car research. Besides having an entire program dedicated to advancing automotive technology, the university also participated in the DARPA robotics challenge in 2005, submitting its own autonomous vehicle, Stanley, a tech-outfitted Volkswagen Touareg. That vehicle and DARPA's competition (along with more matured tech) laid some of the groundwork for the current deluge of resources being pumped into autonomous car R&D. MIT also has a storied résumé when it comes to autonomous research. In 2012, MIT showed off its (albeit small) autonomous plane and even developed a robot that'll build your IKEA furniture. Last year, a team from MIT participated in DARPA's robotics challenge. They placed fourth out of 16 participants.
This announcement is part of Ford's "Blueprint of Mobility,"—how Ford envisions the next decade of transportation. "To deliver on our vision for the future of mobility, we need to work with many new partners across the public and private sectors, and we need to start today," Ford chief technical officer Paul Mascarenas said in a statement. "Working with university partners like MIT and Stanford enables us to address some of the longer-term challenges surrounding automated driving while exploring more near-term solutions for delivering an even safer and more efficient driving experience."
With evidence of more minds examining and solving problems facing this self-guided tech, it's more certain, now more than ever, that autonomous cars are coming.

Categories Comments Greek Life I am not a part of greek life here, but it does exist. I think something like 20% of students are involved, so it's not huge, but it holds it's place on campus and most students do go to frat parties at least a few times in their years here. There are only a few options for frats and sororities but we are getting a new one this upcoming year.
Great for these types of students Muhlenberg is great for the typical liberal arts student who is interested in interdisciplinary education and may have an unusual combination of topics that they want to study.
Bang for the buck My experience with Muhlenberg's financial aid is great. They don't offer a ton of merit aid, but what I got was pretty significant and it's not like I was valedictorian in high school. The Berg is fantastic with need-based aid. The sticker price is very shocking but my financial aid brought it down to a VERY affordable price, way cheaper than what other schools offered me. If you are a candidate for need-based aid, Muhlenberg will most definitely help you out.
What to do for fun This is where Muhlenberg lacks the most, but I haven't had too much of an issue with this so far. Towards the start of the year the school is very good about having fun things on the weekend, always free like stuff-a-plush, make your own t-shirts, and movies. However, I felt that throughout the year that died out, or at least I stopped reading the berg bulletin and looking for them. Allentown isn't the most exciting place at first glance, but it has little treasures if you take some time to explore. There are shuttles that run on the weekends that go all around town so it's okay if you don't have a car, but better if you do. I would mostly stay on campus and hang out with friends and always had a great time doing just that. The older kids would sometimes venture to the bars which are very close to campus and I've heard they are fun, and sometimes drive 20 minutes to the casino. This isn't a DI state school, but if you really want to have fun, you will.
Food and Dining Our dining hall is nationally ranked, which we often take for granted. As a student-athlete who travels to other schools and experiences their dining as well, I can surely say none of them have been better than the Berg. Of course we still have days when even I, among the most praiseful of our dining hall, think the options are lacking, but those days aren't too often and still always have campus-made pizza, salad bar, burgers, and the deli station. We also use grass-fed, never frozen beef which has left me so spoiled. I'm a foodie I could go on forever. One thing I will end with is that the hours aren't the best. We have one dining hall and it closes at 8 on weekdays and 7 on weekends which is pretty early. But throughout the day it remains open, which isn't true at all schools so that is nice. We also have a few campus restaurants which are also great too and GQ (groceries and fast food) is almost always open.
Dorm Life The dorms at Muhlenberg are great. The three Freshman dorms are all very different but have their own perks. I lived in Brown, an all-girls dorm that had a few upperclassmen. The rooms in Brown are HUGE with hardwood floors and high ceilings. Sophomore year I had the village which is apartment style and the nicest dorm I've ever seen. There are plenty of options and none of them are terrible. Wherever you end up at Muhlenberg will be a step up from other college dorms that I have experienced. We also have school-owned off-campus houses that are available. Since this is a small school, there is always enough room for everyone, including upperclassmen, to live on campus, and most people do.
Academic Rigor Academics are, of course, a step up from high school. However, as someone who took multiple AP classes I felt completely comfortable with the transition. It wasn't much of a stretch at all. The biggest challenge was that there would be a few weeks out of the semester that seemed like professors- all across the board- gave out a heavier work load. It's just making it past those weeks that seem impossible. Everything else is fine as long as you are smart about your time. Granted, this is my perspective as a math major, I cannot speak for pre-med.
Tips for prospective students As for any college, solidify good study habits now, so that when you have the free time college allows you know how to use it wisely. As for Muhlenberg specifically, they call it the caring college for a reason. Muhlenberg has a very strong sense of community even among the theatre geeks, pre-med hopefuls, and obsessed athletes. This is a place for people with diverse interests and unique combinations of study. Some people will complain about the small size of the student body but it's what I signed up for and I love it. I don't want to be in a class with 400 other people and at Muhlenberg I haven't encountered a class with even 40 other people so far.
In three sentences The people at Muhlenberg open doors for you, literally and figuratively. I've never been in a class with a professor that I feel didn't care about me as a person, and I'm not the type to go to office hours every chance I get. It may be a small school in a less-than-exciting town, but there are so many hole-in-the-wall places to explore.

Categories Comments Bang for the buck The school is very very good with scholarships as well as Financial aid.
What to do for fun Visit downtown Allentown or spend some time at the Multi-cultural center
Food and Dining The food here is amazing, hands down. They have even won awards and contests for their food.
Dorm Life The dorms are kind of small and some do not have air conditioning. Also, they have communal baths but they're pretty small so you don't have to share with too many people. You can live in a double or a triple and there are all one gender floors I believe. Overall, the dorms do have that home-y feeling to them, even if they are a little on the small side.
Academic Rigor The school is big on its academics but the professors seem very willing to help their students. Also merit scholarships go the distance here but you have to maintain your solid academics to keep them.
Tips for prospective students Get to know your admissions officer! They are so nice! And scheduling an interview may be the difference between you getting in and that your admissions officer advocates for you and helps you get into special programs.
In three sentences Muhlenberg is a very welcoming school with a traditional small school feel to it. Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. Also, they are very very good with scholarship money as well as meeting your financial need.

Categories Comments What to do for fun There is so much to do for fun! Sports teams always have games that students can attend and show their school spirit. The Muhlenberg Activities Council do a wonderful job with bringing different events right to campus for all the students to enjoy. Various other extracurricular clubs constantly have different events going on that students can use as their study break.
Tips for prospective students Do not let the small population of the school cause wariness; the smaller student populations allow for more personal relationships with professors which can ultimately lead to a better performance. Not able to have a car with you on campus? Not a problem, there are shuttle services that run to practically anywhere you need to go whether it's for last-minute dorm necessities or Friday night movie plans. Muhlenberg truly possesses the resources to accommodate its students in a multitude of ways.
In three sentences Muhlenberg is a small close-knit community that have the type of students that will hold the door for someone close behind. It possesses a wide range of majors and minors that truly promote an interdisciplinary education. Apart for academics, Muhlenberg does a wonderful job providing ranges of extracurricular groups from greek life to pep band to sports teams; the options are diverse.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Absolute rockstars. I was on crew for Muhlenberg's Circus and one of the members got hurt backstage. They were on top of it and were super helpful in getting EMS there and getting her fixed up for the show!!
Greek Life It is there if you want it but not overwhelming or a pressure to join.
Clubs and Activities SO MANY. If you can think it, it probably exists. If not, find one other person and make it happen. A capella and Show Choir are big. Music and theatre in general. EMS is also a big club. But we honestly have everything.
Great for these types of students Theatre, Dance, Biology, Chemistry, Pre-med, Business, friendly
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus The fishbowl is the glassed in section of the Trexler Pavilion and it is beautiful and great to study or rehearse in. Every year Catholic Campus Ministry hold a HUGE fundraiser (biggest event of the year probably) where they serve free pancakes and breakfast foods late at night and all the student music groups perform. It is a fundraiser via donations and extremely successful. On the last Friday of the year, the school opens up the dinning hall for a midnight breakfast, free and open to anyone. Which is super great because it is right after formal for the Theatre and Dance Associations! We also have our own student Circus so that's pretty awesome.
Bang for the buck Most definitely. The quality and necessity of a liberal arts education in this day and age is unmatched. I am a Theatre (technical and acting concentrations) and Media Communications double major. And I have also taken Computer Science, Foreign Language, and Sustainability Studies course. Plus I work in the Information Technology department. All the professors are amazing. You will leave the school so skilled in so many different ways. And also extremely marketable for most any position.
What to do for fun There are tons to audition for and get involved with. I love being in the Muhlenberg Theatre Association and Muhlenberg Dance Association. If you aren't in the arts, there is still plenty to do! We have organizations for just about everything!
Food and Dining AMAZING!! We were actually ranked top 5 in the country I believe this year. While it can get a bit monotonous as far as options, the food is great and easy to access. Much MUCH better than any where else I toured.
Dorm Life I looked at the dorms for every college I toured and have seen several from visiting friends at other schools. Muhlenberg's is amazing. Rooms considered tiny on campus are average size at other schools. Most are much bigger and many have high ceilings which is quite nice when you loft your bed. There are kitchens and lounges in every building, and the entire campus is kept extremely clean. There are also off campus options through the school if you want more options when you are an upper classmen.
Academic Rigor It is perfect for those who want a strong performing arts program without the conservatory academics. You have a strong education in mainstream academics as well as in the arts.
Tips for prospective students Apply! I absolutely love it. If you are thinking theatre or dance or music, DEFINITELY audition. Generally: just talk to students. Everyone is very helpful and loves to talk to prospectives. It feels like home here and it is easy to get involved and make friends.
In three sentences It is academically rigorous and perfect for Theatre and Biology majors. It has a good variety of majors but definitely specializes in the aforementioned. Competition in the theatre and everyone is very driven in their lives.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Things get stolen, both I and some friends had objects stolen last year. You are in a city even though it doesn't feel like it and other people use the schools buildings. Heck even the other students are not trustworthy. Keep your stuff with you at all times, just be smart. As for feeling safe, there is little danger from outside, but be careful on weekends. That is when all the closet drunks come out and we do get reports of sexual assault reported. You will find that anywhere, it is just colleges cover it up to maintain reputation. But remember you can always call and ask for an escort if you feel unsafe. I usually called a friend, but the campus safety officers are always willing to help out.
Greek Life Overrated, a fraternity got kicked off campus last year for hazing. And most of them still do haze. If you aren't in one they tend to be annoying, especially since they recruit freshmen without pledging them, even though they are not supposed to.
Clubs and Activities Since they are student run you aren't getting the best organized groups out there. But some of them are really good and I recommend you try them out.
Great for these types of students It isn't really the type that matters. You will like the school as long as you aren't afraid of trying new things.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Sign up for the trivia night at the library. Even if you don't win it is fun.
What to do for fun There are a lot of clubs and even the non fun clubs, by which I mean Anime or Magic the Gathering Club, have fun events. And there are always pick-up games going on in the Green during the warm months.
Food and Dining My parents love to point out how spoiled I am food-wise, compared to their colleges. But you will get bored of your options eventually, especially if you only eat the pizza. Take advantage of the other stations, the lines never are as long as they look. And try out the Knoshery, but avoid there rice (they make it to dry). For meal plans try to go for one with more dining dollars. You will not use the dining hall as much as you think and will end up with excess swipes.
Dorm Life No matter what anyone says all the freshmen dorms have problems with alcohol and drugs. The RA's tend to turn a blind eye to it, and are rather wimpy about helping with social problems. The roommate pairing for freshman is rather bad as well, so be careful. But I did have a good experience in my dorm, my RA's (one was moved up to head RA part way through the year :( we missed her) were always willing to talk, even late at night. I also made good friends with the girls in the hall.
Academic Rigor It depends on the professor mostly, but don't be afraid to go for the ones that make you work. You will learn more in those classes and the professors will make exceptions for you, helping to get you into closed classes or ones you don't meet the requirements for.
Tips for prospective students Don't be afraid to talk to strangers, you will meet awesome people there and all the staff (whether your professor or the people in the Woods Dining Commons) are nice and willing to help out. Also join clubs and go to seminars. It may seem like a waste to spend an hour of your day listening to someone lecture, but your professors will notice and approve and there is really tasty food at all of them.
In three sentences It is a very small campus with everything you could want in easy walking distance. Be warned that the culture is not quite what they brag about, harassment is alive and well, there are groups on campus that are working to fix that. There are a lot of opportunities for making friends, in classes (most of which are small) and in clubs.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Safety is wonderful. They are always around and show up in minutes if anyone is in danger. A small campus so they make the students feel safe.
Greek Life A few greek fraternities on campus. There is no pressure to join them and they are not obnoxious. A very good balance of them between school life and greek life.
Clubs and Activities There are plenty of different clubs on campus but only for those kids who are really into theater. The theater runs the school while kicking all the other activities under the bus. The theater program is quite impressive though, very together.
Great for these types of students Theater students and pre-med students is what its best for. Kids who are very individualistic. Creative minds.
Bang for the buck The school is over priced in my opinion. The quality of the teachers is worth it but for the price of facilities and food options its not worth it. They do put all of the money towards education which is most important but still over priced.
What to do for fun Many bands come to Muhlenberg from off campus so seeing the show is excellent. Also seeing the bands, chorus groups and theater plays is fun too.
Food and Dining Pretty good food. Only one dining hall so the food could get a little bland but it is pretty high quality for a college campus.
Dorm Life I rated this a 3 because you never know who you are gonna room with and who is gonna be on your hall. It could be higher for you or lower for depending on the people around you. I personally would give mine a 5 because I got lucky with a great roommate and hall mates.
Academic Rigor It all depends on what classes you take. All the teachers are very highly skilled, thats why it is so expensive. Also I rated it 4 stars because it has a 43% acceptance rate so you should expect the course rigor to be somewhat difficult.
Tips for prospective students Ask about scholarship opportunities. Figure out if you like a small school that is more interested in the arts than sports.
In three sentences Small sized, easy to get around school. Good academic support if you ask for it. Friendly student body.

What to do for fun Farmers Market, a lot of good restaurants in the inner-city (Thai, Ethiopian, Mexican, etc.), pretty scenery, farms outside the city, decent number of events on campus... there is a lot, just have to look.
Food and Dining Muhlenberg drastically improved its food quality from when I was a freshman.
Dorm Life The dorms are pretty nice. The Office of Residence Life is moving as fast as they can towards equipping every building with central air and heat control. Overall, it is pretty cushy and can only get better.
Academic Rigor As I said in the tips, be ready to work! College in general requires a different mindset from High School. Don't be intimidated though! You learn how to manage your time well, and professors will be there to help you if you need it.
Tips for prospective students Be ready for theater students to have a large presence on campus! Also, be ready to work; many professors will assign a substantial amount of reading and writing.
In three sentences Muhlenberg is a fantastic place for a budding scholar. Faculty encourage you and connect you with local internships and research and job opportunities. People are very nice here and have a wide range of interests.

Categories Comments Campus Safety They're everywhere, all of the time. And they're super nice. I've heard of campus safety being nearly non-existent at other schools so it's awesome that they're so prevalent here.
Greek Life I'll be honest, it's OK. There are always things to do on the weekends and it's a great way to meet people. There just aren't many to choose from and about 20% of people on campus participate so there is no pressure to be in one!
Clubs and Activities There are a lot!! You can find at least one club for almost any hobby you fancy.
Great for these types of students This school is awesome if you like personal relationships and knowing everyone and having everyone know you. One of the perks of a school with less than 2,500 people!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Hmm...we have battle of the chefs in the dining hall every years where local colleges come and compete in food challenges with us, so the food is always incredible. Sports are a fun thing that a lot of students participate in, whether the play or watch. And Thursday night, many students go to the nearby club, maingate, or the bar, Roosevelt's to hang out.
Bang for the buck It's quite pricey and small, but there is tons of financial aid available (they help me out a lot) and the food in GQ is a bit overpriced. If you are happy here, the money is totally worth it. If you want a bigger school with more options available, save your parents the money, especially if you don't qualify for aid.
What to do for fun I personally am in a sorority so I always have stuff to do on the weekends with my sisters and I'm also part of the Muhlenberg Activities Council so I help plan events, both on and off campus that are fun to go to!
Food and Dining My friends from other schools who come to visit rave about the food...it's just that good! My only issue (hence the 4) is that there are only 3 places to eat on campus and after 8, the dining hall and Freshens close so you're stuck with GQ.
Dorm Life They're your typical college dorms
Tips for prospective students Get involved!! It can be boring if you're stuck on campus and don't know anyone so join clubs or a sport or even a sorority or frat! Having things to do and knowing people is what will make your college experience here memorable.
In three sentences This campus is very small and tight-knit. Everyone knows each other either by face or by name and professors really try to get to know their students individually. If you like the community feel and to be challenged academically, this is the place for you!

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campo is made up of retired Allentown Police Department officers. They keep everyone safe but are reasonable! There is a Blue Light system on campus and students must use their ID cards to swipe into buildings. Campus is safe, students feel comfortable leaving laptops, cell phones, and wallets on tables while they get food in the dining hall or are away from their desk at the library.
Greek Life About 1/3 of all students at Muhlenberg participate in Greek Life. Students aren't permitted to rush until their sophomore year. Greek life has a presence, but isn't exclusionary.
Clubs and Activities Muhlenberg is chock-full of clubs, and you can start a new one with enough interested students.
Great for these types of students Friendly, kind, outgoing students willing to get involved in clubs, activities, and the community and work hard in class but also have fun.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Victor's Lament is a modern art sculpture that is featured on the main green at the front of campus, and is iconic.
Bang for the buck College is supposed to be some of the best years of your life, and Muhlenberg seeks to provide that. The Muhlenberg Fund takes 17% off of expected tuition.
What to do for fun Lots of things, both inside and outside of the Berg Bubble. You can visit the Lehigh Valley Mall or take one of the buses driven by Shuttle Steve to the Target in the nearby shopping center or the Maingate Nightclub on college nights. There's always people hanging out in the freshman quad, GQ, and Light Lounge and there's lots of activites sponosred by MAC, such as Stuff-a-Plush, trivia nights, and performances from bands and singers.
Food and Dining Muhlenberg redesigned their dining hall within the past year, and has fantastic food with lots of options provided by Sodexo. There's vegetarian, gluten-free, and kosher options. You can also snack at the General's Quarters (GQ) or the LSC cafe at the gym.
Dorm Life Freshman have 3 housing options, surrounding the freshman quad: Walz (the most highly sought after, newest and nicest, typically goes to early decision students), Prosser (the largest dorm, known as Dirty Pross but it's a great bonding experience), and Brown (all girls dorm with the most spacious rooms).
Academic Rigor Muhlenberg was rated the #1 theatre program in the country a few years ago, and is also known for their science and education programs. Class size is kept small, and there are no TAs. Merit Scholarships are available, and there are honor programs such as the Dana Scholars and Muhlenberg Scholars.
Tips for prospective students Schedule a visit! The admissions counselors are more than willing to help and being a tour guide is a highly sought after position - everyone wants to share how great of a place Muhlenberg is.
In three sentences Muhlenberg College is known as the Caring College, and rightly so - the students that attend college here are some of the kindest and genuinely nice people you'll meet. Muhlenberg takes academics seriously, and also focuses on engaging with the surrounding Allentown community.

Categories Comments What to do for fun If you are social you will find things to do. Dorm parties for the underclassmen and a few local bars for the 21+ crowd. Decent selection of clubs, intramural sports, and other activities.
Food and Dining Wide variety of food with some fresh, local options. Good vegetarian selection as well. The campus dining program focuses on sustainability.
Dorm Life Avoid the all-girls freshman dorm! It is tough to be social if you live there. They started building some nice new suites during my senior year. They also offer college-owned off-campus apartments for juniors and seniors. These are a perk if you can get one through the lottery.
Academic Rigor Muhlenberg has a great academic reputation. It is known for its strong liberal arts foundation and its pre-med sciences and theater arts programs. Professors are all caring and extremely smart. You definitely get more personal attention here than at a state school.
Tips for prospective students Great if you are looking for a small school with personal attention and an intimate feel. Not a good fit if partying is your priority.
In three sentences Muhlenberg has a small campus and student body, but it provides a caring and intimate environment for students. Students are encouraged to customize their experience by becoming involved in the many clubs and activities offered on campus.

In three sentences I really liked how everyone at Muhlenberg seems to like it throughout their entire college career. Whether they work in admissions or are just a regular student, they love it. One person told me that they felt that Muhlenberg was a bubble of happiness.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Theater students or athletes thrive here.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus St. Pattys day is epic here.
Bang for the buck I wouldn't do it any other way. Although the school is very expensive, the education is unvaluable. I'm also having the time of my life.
What to do for fun There's so much to do for much. I love going to watch all the games, which is great for athletic people. For theater people theres always a performance going on. There are plenty of partys on weekends and a lot of the time me and my friends go hang out in the light lounge in Seegers just for fun because you'll see everybody.
Food and Dining Muhlenberg has the best dining hall. The food is great. I'll go to breakfast an hour early just so I can study in there. Its like a giant ski lodge. Its so beautiful. And GQ is great for late night snacks or when you're in the mood for something different.
Dorm Life Dorm life is amazing. Although freshman dorms (esp. Prosser) aren't the nicest dorms in the country, their so much fun. Its like living in a house with 300 brothers and sisters. You're never lonely and people are always in their rooms hanging out, having a good time.
Academic Rigor Muhlenberg is a hard school to get into but a harder school to get good grades in. I've learned more in chemistry this year then most people learn in all 4 years of college but it just makes me that much smarter and it will definitely help me out in the long run.
Tips for prospective students Get involved. Its a great way to meet new students, teachers and staff. Also, leave your door open while you're in your room, you'll be surprized at how many people stop by to say hello. If you're into sports, join a team. You make the most amazing friends and there will never be anywhere on campus where you don't know somebody.
In three sentences Muhlenberg is such an amazing school in every aspect of student life. The accommodations are amazing and they're enhanced by all the students who fill them. You can always find something to smile about while you're on campus.

Categories Comments Campus Safety the campus is safe, but criminal occasionally migrate from downtown allentown and commit crimes just off-campus. call boxes are located everywhere and you often see a police patrol car.
Greek Life common but not mandatory.
Clubs and Activities great theater and arts facilities, decent athletic facilities, greek life, a fair number of clubs relative to the size of the student body.
Great for these types of students theater students. white, middle-class students who plan to study biology.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus there is a bird museum on the top floor of the biology building which houses thousands of taxidermied bird specimens from around the world.
Bang for the buck the strength of the school is really the biology/pre-med program, so if that is your plan you should really consider muhlenberg. a degree from muhlenberg in another discipline may be very well-respected, but you may not necessarily get your money's worth.
What to do for fun there are many activites planned on campus, many bars in a short distance from the school, multiple colleges in the surrounding area, dorney park and wildwater kingdom, short trips to nyc and philly, etc.
Food and Dining there is a newly renovated dining hall, starbucks on campus, and many affordable places to eat just off-campus.
Dorm Life safety may be an issue at times, but most activity occurs off-campus.
Academic Rigor some courses are more challenging than others, but the tight community makes it very easy to form focused study groups.

Greek Life not that popular, but there if you want it.
Clubs and Activities theatre anything. gym. hanging out in dorms, suites. partying not too crazy. it's manageable.
Great for these types of students smart, theatre geeks, jewish
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus people here are buff, and pretty attractive. i go to the gym everyday. zumba is great. love the dance classes.
Bang for the buck pricey, but worth it. if i weren't in a scholars program though i may have chosen a less expensive school.
What to do for fun hillel is really big here. at first i was intimidated because i am not jewish. but they are welcoming once you make friends.
Food and Dining at first the food was okay, but after a while you get sick of it.
Dorm Life prosser is a party dorm. brown nice freshmen dorm for girls. walz is good choice for freshmen guys. upperclassmen live in suites, mile houses.
Academic Rigor at first it was too easy but now i feel challenged. i am in one of the three honors programs. the college is generous with scholarships if you are a great student. it's also what you make of it.
Tips for prospective students it may be hard to adjust to the lack of stuff to do on the weekeneds if you are from a big city. but, you should get involved in campus activities which is easy to do for those in theatre. lotsa people from nj, and surrounding pa area.
In three sentences muhlenberg college is a small lac located in allentown, pa. there is not that much racial diversity here, but after a while you become used to this. at first it was difficult because i graduated from an inner city, urban setting with a lot of diversity. theatre is a big nationwide draw here. so is pre-med, pre-law, and business.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Muhlenberg is great for anyone who is driven and willing to work hard. The courses are hard and you have to study alot so you have to be willing to put in the work if you want the grade. It's also great for theatre majors. Our theatre department is great.
Tips for prospective students Keep up with your classes and GPA your senior year. Don't slack off and take only easy courses, keep a hard class or two. This will show colleges that you are still motivated. Also, it's not how many activities you do, but it's how long and how involved you were.
Bang for the buck I don't know that much about how well my education will be overall, but so far I think that I am getting my monies worth. All tutors, worskshops, and appointments during office hours are abundantly available.
Am enjoying being here The campus really is a community. People are really friendly and always willing to help you out.
Am learning a lot You learn alot, it's hard material but the teachers are good and want to help you.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Muhlenberg College is the perfect place for students who are extremely passionate about the arts, but do not want to forfeit their academic goals for a conservatory-like atmosphere, as well as for the students who want to be very involved in the arts, yet wish to pursue a different academic major. We have extensive dance, theater, music and arts programs, yet, as a liberal arts college, there is also a very strong emphasis on academics. No one has to be a major or even a minor to participate in any shows or take any arts classes so a large portion of the student body participates in at least some aspect of the arts without the arts being the sole focus of the entire campus.
Tips for prospective students I would definitely suggest any prospective student who is highly interested in Muhlenberg College to apply early decision. A great portion of each incoming class does apply early decision which is wonderful because that means most everybody at Muhlenberg is at their first choice school and is truly passionate about being there. Don't panic though! Muhlenberg's early decision deadline isn't until February 1st, only two weeks before regular decision. This gives you plenty of time to truly decide if Muhlenberg is the place for you. Also, visit the campus and make contact with professors, students, coaches, etc. as often as you can. The Admissions Office takes note of every time you make an effort to show interest in the school and it reflects very well on your application!
Bang for the buck Muhlenberg College does an absolutely great job of offering both merit-based and need-based aid, so even if the tuition scares you at first glance, don't be afraid. There are even talent scholarships available for theater, dance, etc. plus three academic societies that the admissions office may offer you acceptance to which come with an additional scholarship. There is an extensive Career Center which anyone has access to starting from the first day of freshmen year where the experienced staff helps you create resumes, gives mock interviews, provides connections to alumni for possible post-graduation employment, and aids in the process of graduate school choice and application. Also, while work-study students have first choice at campus jobs, anyone can get a paying position on campus. Overall, Muhlenberg provides a wonderful balance of small, community feel with big university opportunities so, if you make the most of it, I definitely feel anyone is more than able to get their money's worth out of a Muhlenberg education.
Am enjoying being here I am so lucky that I know I have most certainly picked the best place for me to spend my college career! In my opinion, Muhlenberg College could not be more perfect. They have an extensive arts program and a heavy emphasis on strong academics. There are so many opportunities like ways to get involved on campus and in the community, places to go abroad, research projects in conjunction with professors, independent studies, and more. The campus is small enough that you feel very 'at home', yet without feeling suffocated. There are several other colleges right in the same area, plus Philadelphia is only an hour away. I have already made friends that I know will last a lifetime and built relationships with many professors. My classes are interesting, engaging and will aid my greatly in 'the real world' after graduation. Housing is guaranteed all four years, yet the college helps you take steps to adjust to eventually being on your own. I really could not ask for more from Muhlenberg.
Am learning a lot I am definitely learning a lot at Muhlenberg College. The academics here are very strong, but not in a competitive way. The professors are kind and personable; they demand the best of you, but, with the average class size being just nineteen students, you are able to get the individualized attention you need in order to succeed. Freshmen year, Muhlenberg offers a great program called a First-Year Seminar or FYS. It a writing-intensive class that you choose yourself from a list of sixty or so topics. The topics range from Finding Your Muse to The American Road-Trip to How to Think About Weird Things and each are the specialty of the professors who teach them. An FYS has approximately fifteen students in it who are also the students in your orientation group and the professor is your temporary advisor until your major is declared. The class is designed to explore the topic in a way that truly causes you to think and, also, to get you used to college-level writing. For this purpose, each FYS has its own writing advisor who is an upperclassman who has taken a course about teaching and editing writing. They attend the class and are available to help with any paper. This program is a wonderful way to start-off your college education; it causes you to start thinking at a higher level, gets you closely acquainted with your advisor, provides you with an upperclassman resource and introduces you to classmates who share similar interests. Thanks to my First-Year Seminar, I can say I am definitely soaking as much out of my Muhlenberg education as possible.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Muhlenberg is the school for you if you enjoy a close-knit community, want professors who know your name (and your last test grade!), appreciate the arts and can understand less-conventional types of diversity. Our pre-health programs (and all sciences for that matter) are absolutely fantastic as are Muhlenberg's performing arts programs.
Tips for prospective students Come prepared with a smile, a NorthFace jacket and a good work ethic! If Muhlenberg is your first choice, definitely apply early decision and everyone should interview if you can. Also, come out for a campus tour and information session... the admissions department loves visitors and will make sure your experience is wonderful.
Bang for the buck Muhlenberg is an expensive school, but as a small, private, liberal-arts institution, you definitely get what you pay for. The education is top-notch and the faculty and staff reflect the top-dollar price tag. The financial aid office is really good about accommodating the needs of everyone.
Am enjoying being here The people of Muhlenberg are really, really friendly, which lends itself to creating a fun community environment. Muhlenberg is definitely not a party school like some of the bigger state schools, but it is easy to have a good time! On the downside, Allentown is a pretty boring place.
Am learning a lot The professors truly care about your progress and the liberal arts philosophy really allows you to challenge yourself in a variety of academic areas.

Notes & Reviews:
Two dramatic new worlds in sound from our downtown Alchemist who continues to confound and defy expectations well into his fourth decade of recorded activity. Scored for two percussionists, The Satyr's Play is a dramatic work that mysteriously evokes the decadent excesses of Bacchanalia and Saturnalia. Presented in book form accompanied by a esoteric text beautifully illustrated with rare drawings by the great mystical artist Austin Osman Spare, this is a work of subtle nuance and sexuality. In contrast, Cerberus, is a flamboyant and dynamic trio for brass. A demonic piece featuring three undisputed Brass virtuosos, it jumps styles, moods and genres in classic Zorn fashion. Radical, moody and colorful chamber works for the 21st century.
Notes & Reviews:Recording information: East Side Sound, NYC.
John Zorn, whose music does not fit classical or jazz categories or even the in-between third stream classification, has constantly explored new terrain over his four-decade compositional career. He has composed film music, drawn on Jewish heritage, experimented with collages and what would later be called sampling, and pursued various conceptual approaches to improvisation. But even Zorn fans may not be prepared for this exciting piece, a score (apparently the music is pretty much written out) for two percussionists, accompanied by sound effects that include sheep bleats (one thinks of Zorn's earlier series of works based on duck calls) and, in one passage, simulated female orgasm. Donna Summer meets the avant-garde, one imagines. The idea is to evoke the Greek figure of the satyr and the related phenomena of the Roman Saturnalia and Bacchanalia festivals with their attendant dissipation. These ideas are realized in various ways over the course of the work's eight movements ("odes"), but percussionists Cyro Baptista and Kenny Wollesen are given plenty of high-energy rhythmic material and employ a huge variety of percussion instruments and textures. This is exciting stuff from beginning to end, and next to it the concluding ten-minute Cerberus, a brass trio employing a fearsome range of extended techniques, sounds almost conventional. An intriguing Zorn project, highly recommended for Zorn lovers. ~James Manheim

Economic theory and asset bubbles
The author summarizes what economic theory tells us about when asset price bubbles can occur and what the welfare implications are from bursting them. In some cases, bursting a bubble may make society worse off by exacerbating the market distortions that give rise to the bubble in the first place.

Darren McFadden to Dallas? Believe It.
If you trust the rumors, former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden will wind up here permanently as a member of the Dallas Cowboys. But for now, the two-time Heisman Trophy runner-up is merely in the area training for the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine.
Projected as the best running back and possibly the No. 1 overall pick in April's NFL Draft, McFadden is living in an apartment on the west side of Allen -- scooch a bit, Carly, you've been trumped -- and spending his days driving a brand-spankin'-new black Hummer to the Michael Johnson Performance Center just up the road in McKinney. Apparently, Nike is footing the bill for McFadden, who won consecutive Doak Walker Awards and has NFL teams salivating over his rare combination of size, strength and speed.
McFadden, from Little Rock, could use some time focusing on football after a hectic post-season. After rushing for an underwhelming 105 yards in Arkansas' Cotton Bowl loss to Missouri, he got handcuffed (but not arrested) during a bar brawl, picked the same agent that represents NBA No. 1 draft pick Greg Oden and somehow found time to mix in fitness tests with, um, other tests. He also stirred up all sorts of trade winds.
Don't know about you, but no way I surrender Marion Barber and two No. 1s (the 22nd and 28th picks) to the Dolphins for the right to draft him. In fact, not real sure I trade Barber for McFadden straight up. So welcome to town and all, but don't get too comfortable. --Richie Whitt

"Wait, wait. Back up a minute," the screenwriter says. "My agent called?"
Friday, September 9, 2011
Give me your best writing joke!
"Wait, wait. Back up a minute," the screenwriter says. "My agent called?"
8 comments:
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."And eskimo is having trouble with his car. He has it towed to the local garage.
'I can't fix it right away, can you come back in an hour', says the mechanic.
An hour later the Eskimo returns and sees the mechanic with his head under the bonnet (hood).
'Can you see what is wrong?'
'Yes, I think you've blown a seal'.
"No I haven't, it's just frost on my moustache!'
Oh, did I mention the Eskimo was an author.I was sat in the window seat of my flight watching the remaining passengers board when I saw what I think must have been the most the most beautiful woman I have ever seen coming up the aisle.
Incredibly she took the seat beside mine and we exchanged nods.
Half an hour into the flight, as I was trying to think of good opening line, she turned to me and asked if I was travelling on business.
'Yes, I am' I replied, 'And you?'.
'I am going to a book signing', she said, ' my new book has just been published'.
'What is the book about' I asked.
'Sex', she said, 'I write books on sex'.
She saw my reaction.
'Oh, not that sort. I have a team of researchers and we try to debunk some myths about sex; it's all very scientific'.
'For example', she added, 'in one of my early books we researched who are the most romantic men in the world. Traditionally it is thought of as the Frenchmen but we discovered it is in fact the Greeks'.
'And in my latest book we found that the most well endowed men in the world were not the black African men as is often thought, but in fact the Native American man'.
'But I'm sorry, I am talking to much and I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Francesca. What is yours?'
'My name? Oh, my name is Tonto Popodopolous'.

Hi, I'm sort of new on this board as we owned some Nubian goats for about a year now. Last Evening sometime, don't know when this had happened in our smaller barn, one of our younger goat's horn got broken/torn and is just hanging off the one side of her head. She is not bleeding anymore, but she is ok but she is staying away from the others. I guess she is not wanting to hit her head or bump it anywhere. We want to give her some antibiotic and tetanus shots and we will do that soon. We had not dehorned the two babies at the time when they were young because we didn't get out instrument yet for dehorning. We already did the other two younger kids and it worked ok but it didn't get all the horns off. But still they are far smaller in size and they may never have this problem like this younger goat is having now. I know we can't do much and it may heal as is, but with the horn still hanging, lucky it's not sticking out but we don't know what to do now. We don't want to put any more stress on her as she is now to just cut off the rest of the horn that is hanging. Or may this just fall off in a few days? We never owned horned goats before and we know that this does happened to them sometimes when they get it stuck in something. Just wondering what else to do now? We may still have to call or Vets but today it's snowing so hard and maybe he won't do housecalls. Also they do certain times and it's mainly in the morning not afternoon or evening times. Not sure about that too. They do know about goats so maybe we may just ask by phone what else we can do for her. Any answers to our problem? Thanks. junkertyge/Nancy
First, put the goat into a pen by herself so none of the others can bump into her and make the horn worse. Spray some iodine or blukote around the base of the horn to disinfect the area as much as you can. If the horn is hanging, it probably won't heal. The horn will shrivel up and drop off eventually - it will take a couple of months. A new one will grow, but it won't be as securely anchored as the old one was and will be broken again more easily. If you decide to cut the horn off yourself, make darned sure everything you use is sterile, and be prepared for lots of blood - there's an artery that runs up the middle of the horn. If you want the horn gone permanently, you need to cut the horn off at the base and cauterize the area so it won't re-grow. When one of my guys broke his horn, I chickened out and had the vet dehorn him. It cost $60, the whole thing was done under anesthesia (sp?) by someone who wasn't freaked out and knew what they were doing. A couple of months later, you couldn't tell the critter had ever had horns to begin with. This isn't a complete emergency. You have time to sit and figure out what you feel comfortable doing. If the vet can't get out today, tomorrow will be fine. Watch her temperature, make sure she's eating ok. A CD&T shot is a good idea. Keep the area around the horn as clean as you can. Spray iodine or blukote on it once a day (keep it out of the eyes!) to keep things disinfected.
You don't say if it is broken to the head area or just higher up but if it is broken so there is an open cavity then it needs to be as said above cleaned real good maybe even hydrogen peroxide. and covered so flies dirt etc etc don't get down in there . Or you will have big problems.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
I attended a ChemCom workshop last summer where the following idea was shared: Use tennis balls in their container to represent a solid (vibrate them in place). Put the tennis balls in a Zip-Lock bag to represent a liquid (still in close contact, but moving more randomly). Throw the balls around the room to show how random and far apart gas molecules are. This is a very simple idea but really gets the idea across. In fact I have used this model to start a discussion about what exactly a model is. The kids also totally get a kick out of seeing tennis balls being thrown around the room! Cathy Danielson Marshfield High School Coos Bay, OR

Fantastic job, Brother!!! That is one outstanding Fett.
that looks great . nice work brother .
Much better now with the pinch fixed.
wear it proudly my friend.
You wear the costume extremely well brother, and the weathering on the flightsuit is gorgeous. Awesome, awesome work there.

Impresive! definitely mine will be a SE!
Thank you all. Tough choice between SE Fett and ESB. Ultimately, I did not choose, but rather, my height and weight chose for me. At 6'3" and 225 lbs, the SE 12 pouch version of the ammo belt looked legit. The 8 pouch version looked like a change purse. 12 disguises weight and height much better. Crazy huh?
Looks great man. I can't wait to have something similar.

Scrapbooking supply company Archiver's, closing stores
GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. (AP) — The Golden Valley-based scrapbook supply company Archiver's says it's going out of business and will close its stores by mid-February.
In a statement on its website, the 14-year-old company says the industry, as well as customer needs, have changed resulting in declining sales and mounting losses. The company says it has 33 stores in 18 states and employs about a dozen people at each location.
Archiver's says that over the past four to five years, a weak economy and new technology has impacted retailers in the craft industry. The company streamlined operations, tried new products, but says its stores no longer generate the sales needed to support the business.
Archiver's filed for bankruptcy protection last April.

Word came to us today via a tipster, via Israel, via Google Translate, so proceed with much skepticism. That said, we do have an article citing Modu CEO Dov Moran, who says the modular handset is scheduled for launch in Southeast Asia in Q2 (as we reported in February). The report adds that the 200 Modu employees, in addition to churning out new phones, have been asked to swap their Nokia handsets for Modu ones. Advertisement Advertisement As a refresher, the Modu concept is pretty simple: Take one tiny, tiny cellphone and build a number of "jackets" around it that do a variety of different tasks. One may be an "mp3 jacket," for example, while another could simply be a color palette swap for a night on the town. If you're still confused, think of the Wiimote and its many worthless white plastic sports-related accessories, except in this case the add-ons do something, like GPS.Moran explains in a video from earlier this year: Sadly, if this strikes your fancy and you live in the U.S. you're out of luck (for now). In the article, Moran only mentions Southeast Asia, Russia and other scattered territories outside the Americas. Personally, as I sit here today with my multitasking iPhone 3G laying lovingly at my side, I'm having a hard time getting worked up over the snub.

There has also been evidence suggesting that internal emails and Internet searches have been snooped on by third parties. From Reuters:Navy Commander Walter Ruiz, who represents 9/11 defendant Mustafa al Hawsawi, said "three to four weeks' worth of work is gone, vanished." He said what appeared to be a computer folder of prosecution files had turned up on the defense lawyers' system, though none of them had opened the files.The incident prompted chief defense counsel for the tribunals, Colonel Karen Mayberry, to order the Pentagon defense lawyers to stop using government computers for sensitive information or drafts of their work. "I'll be filing a handwritten motion very shortly to ask for an abatement of the proceedings," explained defense attorney James Connell to Reuters.AdvertisementIt's currently unclear who or what was behind the breach in digital security.

I want to know much about dependency injection. pls help if anyone is familiar with the same.....
Dependency injection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A beginners guide to Dependency Injection
I used to try to think of dependency injection as an evolution for singleton manager types of patterns, where something that needs a handle on something else would do a somethingelse.getInstance() which gets complicated when there are a lot of pieces, and limited re-usability of the components.
where as dependency injection, something else creates instances of the components, invokes setters to have the references to other objects set, and stores the object instances in a kind of map. Spring framework happens to use XML, and more recently annotations, to articulate the relationship between individual parts.
The following article explains the IoC and its differents types:

Dr. Dave, thanks for your observation and input. Maybe I'm too focused on short term to fully envision or appreciate what you have pointed out. I follow your insight as I zoomed out to a year, but in reality I'm not patient enough to wait so long for payback. I'm actually quite a rookie in investing, and so far I've settled into short term swing trades as my comfort zone. I'll keep an eye on that developing cup and handle however, and make a play if or when I think I am ready (meaning confident and patient).
Thanks again for your input.

365 Things to Do in Memphis #101: Eat Crawfish on the Tracks at Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival
Normally, I don't advise sitting on the trolley tracks – it's a little uncomfortable and more than a little dangerous. This weekend, though, you should grab a bucket of crawfish and a seat wherever you can (including on the tracks) at the Rajun Cajun Crawfish Festival.
From noon until 6 p.m. on Sunday, April 15, the Rajun Cajun crew will cook and serve more than 15,000 pounds of crawfish. There will be live Cajun and Zydeco music, vendors, a gumbo cooking contest and all sorts of crawfish-related games (bobbing for crawfish, crawfish toss, crawfish racing, crawfish eating contests).
This year, the family friendly festival has expanded to include Wagner Place (which runs along the river-side of AutoZone's offices) and Riverside Drive. Admission is free, but you can buy buckets of crawfish for $20 and beers for $4. Proceeds from the 20th annual festival benefit Porter Leath.
Go there:
Free admission, all ages
Sunday, April 15, 12 p.m. – 6 p.m.
Wagner Place between Union and Beale St.
[…] this weekend is all about Crawfish. Kerry and Paul have the details, but the Rajun Cajun, Harbor Town, and Rehab Disco Crawfish Festivals are […]
This looks like fun. This has to be the only time I would advise sitting on a railroad track. The crawfish looks good.
I wish I knew how to eat crawfish, but I get intimidated by the shells, but the food looks great.
I might have to come by this one for the fun. thanks
