Product Details
One of our designers went to a women's surf clinic and was so inspired by the rash guards she saw the surfer girls wearing that she created a version just for us. With a snug second-skin fit to prevent irritation and smart UPF 50 sun protection (think of UPF as SPF, but for fabrics), it's made for riding the waves, but we also love it for just relaxing waterside. Cut with a slightly longer length so it won't hike up, it's finished with a zipper at the back neckline so it's easy to get on and off. It's no wonder we're obsessed. (P.S. It also comes in a crewcuts version for the pint-size surfers in your life.) Recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV protectant.

It is likely that, since the destruction of the last remnants of the Elk Mountain Mission in the 1990s (built in the 1850s), the Grandstaff stone cabins (1870s) are now the oldest pioneer structures in the valley. The stonework is impressive, and we are honored to preserve the artifacts.
When I discuss the history of the ranch with visitors and then recommend a hike up the eponymous canyon, I find myself wincing when I get to the canyon's name. At the ranch we have always been careful to use the man's name – he had one. We will correct our spelling (Granstaff to Grandstaff).
I have heard many arguments for preserving the existing canyon name but none of them hold up to a rational discussion and they all crumple in the face of the one big reason to make the change – it is the right thing to do and it is high time we did it. There are many ugly aspects of history that we should never forget – but the notion that we should preserve hurtful institutions just because they are historic is absurd.
The only "history" being preserved by continuing to use the name is that racist names were used to alienate an entire group of fellow Americans for centuries. That historic fact is in no danger of being forgotten any time soon. We needn't perpetuate the wrongs to remember the truth.
The future is more important than the past. People are more important than names. Let's make this change and move forward.

When reports surfaced last year that the Gronkowski family had hired William Morris endeavor "to develop a TV show," those reports quickly were shot down.
Regardless, a TV show has been developed.
According to Deadspin, it's an animated show. And there's a sizzle reel consisting of the Gronkowskis being the Gronkowskis, but no actual animation. A pair of guys named Henry Penzi and Wayne Carmona are reportedly pitching the show, and the plan is to put the pedal to the metal in the offseason.
The Gronkowskis consist of five brothers (Pats tight end Rob and two others with NFL experience) and patriarch Gordy. And someone from Family Guy could be on the writing team.
While the Gronks aren't Italian, here's hoping that the show has the same overall vibe as The Goomba's.

Six generators from Ogle County have been shipped to victims of Hurricane Sandy, which ravaged the East Coast last month.
Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) officials arrived at the Ogle County Sheriff's Office early Nov. 9 to pick up six generators, which were soon headed for areas where electrical power has yet to be restored.
"We're donating the generators at the request of IEMA," said Sheriff Michael Harn.
Hurricane Sandy made landfall along the eastern seaboard in late October. Especially hard hit were areas of New York and New Jersey.
Approximately a week later a winter storm Athena left as much as a foot of snow on some of the areas still trying to recover from the hurricane.
The generators, which were obtained from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS), were intended for use throughout Ogle County in case a natural or manmade disaster interrupted electrical service to the region, Harn said.
He said the donation will not leave Ogle County without emergency generators should a disaster occur.
"More are available if needed, " Harn said. "There's still other generators in the bank in Illinois."

I couldn't have said it better. This certainly nailed the "problem" of painting in this day and age right on the button. It echoes my thinking almost precisely. I prefer not to think of painting as "dead" but as simply an "antique" artform as compared to the much more viable ways and means artist have today of expressing their thoughts and visions. There was a time when painters could have claimed, "Yeah sure, if I had a few million dollars I'd go off and make a really searing, important motion picture or TV docu-drama or some such other "important" communicative creation, but since I don't, I'll just have to be happy staying home with my paints and brushes and daubing around as best I can".
Today, however, such excuses don't hold up. Thanks to the relatively inexpensive "home" technology of video and computers those "few million dollars" are at best a few thousand dollars, and well within the grasp of any serious "artist" who wants to take the time an energy to master then. I'm not denigrating painting as an artform. It has its place and I think we all know what that place is, but let's face it, it is not now, nor is it ever again likely to be cutting edge. There will always be a market for paintings, there will always be painters, just as there will always be a market for antiques and those involved in preserving their beauty. But as a vehicle for creative communication, (which is a good, working definition art) its limitations become more and more pronounced by the hour.

You didnt really thought I would build this army without a space fleet to back it up now did you?
For the grand (micro scale) finale, I present you the MAOX "Blackwind" Battle Cruiser. The back bone of the imperial fleet. (Also from 2009)
Its an overall balanced ship, yet it excels in firepower. It is found in most situations, from exploring, to defending, to assaulting! Even in planetary invasions the BW is found either defending the orbital deployment ships or sending troops itself.
If taking it on on long ranged space combat is a pain, with its pack of Heavy Laser Cannons, you can't even imagine up close and personal, right when facing the threatening and deadly Impact Batteries.
The back of the ship, were you can clearly see the shield projectors, main and secondary engines. (I gotta start making those engines prettier with some TO)
The ships front, noticing the Long Range Sensors Array.
A good shot at the whole vessel. The hangars are located bellow the bridge, at the middle of the engine section. In case the ship is destroyed or must be abandoned, the bridge module can detach from the main body as a rescue option. You can also see one of the two twin linked Ion Cannon Turrets mounted in the ships hull.
Hope you liked the last demonstration of the basic MAOX forces, future designs are currently being worked on for the rising level of quantity and quality of the Immortal War.

Former Chief Tech Policy Officer At MPAA Admits That SOPA Was 'Not Compatible With The Health Of The Internet'
from the indeed dept
"Did my position on this issue evolve over the last 12 months? I am not ashamed to admit that it certainly did," Brigner writes. "The more I became educated on the realities of these issues, the more I came to the realization that a mandated technical solution just isn't mutually compatible with the health of the Internet."And how does the MPAA feel about this?
A spokesman for the MPAA said his organization would not comment on Brigner's volte-face.Well, what can you say when your (now former) chief tech expert agrees with what every other tech expert has been saying all along?

Over the weekend the kids were playing quietly in the girl's room. That's a dead giveaway that they are probably doing something wrong.
So I poke my head in there to see what's going on. Maren is sitting their cutting pieces of paper into a million tiny pieces (which her mom will clean up a day later). In the corner is little Brant.
Playing by himself.
With dolls.
And a dollhouse.
I played with dolls when I was a kid. But we didn't call them dolls, we called them G.I. Joe's or He-Man or Macho Man Action Figures. We called them that because we're boys and boys don't play with dolls.
Last night he was all over the place with a pair of Buzz Lightyear toys, so everything's back to normal. Then this morning, after I got him out of bed, I walked back in and he had a pile dolls, beds, etc. putting them all "night-night."
He offset the dolls with a Pirate t-shirt and a Lightning McQueen slipper that doubled as a bed. Still, when I get home today, I'm going to switch all the dolls out for Buzz and Woody and Lightning. I bet I can fit Finn McMissile in that crib, right?

Love genealogy but looking for something more?
For me that came in the form of the ProGen Study group. This study group allows genealogists to work in small groups to expand their knowledge, thus sharing and growing with their peers, all the while learning about genealogy from the "master source" - Professional Genealogy: A Manual for Researchers, Writers, Editors, Lecturers and Librarians, edited by Elizabeth Shown Mills. The project is coordinated with the very able leadership of genealogist Angela Packer McGhie.
Now don't get scared away that it says Professional Genealogy. You can participate even you don't want to take clients. Perhaps you'd just like to higher level skills to track your ancestors.
When I participated in ProGen I believe it was ProGen 5. Each group session is numbered based on which "generation" of the group it is.
So what makes ProGen so great?
Well, it's the people. Each group is small, say around 6 people. Each group also has a leader and there is a moderator who is typically a Certified Genealogist. Every month the group reads a chapter from the book Professional Genealogy and then there is an assignment to complete based on the chapter. Later in the month the participants get together online for a discussion of the chapter and the assignment. Since this is a peer-based program assignments are shared with each group member so that they can comment and learn from each other.
I found the interactions with the other group members to be one of the most satisfactory parts of the program. I developed a wonderful group of colleagues. And the discipline of reading and completing an assignment each month enriched my genealogical skills.
So if you are looking for something more head over to the ProGen website to find out further information. When I took the class it was free. I have heard that they are now charging $38 but there is no indication of that on the website.

I was in ProGen1 and I can second everything Marian said about it. Angela has provided a great opportunity. I really miss it.ReplyDelete
Hope to be able to do this after life settles down some.ReplyDelete
I will definately check it out. I'm interested in pursuing the genealogy certificate at BU, but the course is very expensive. Plus I have an MLS, almost 20 years of library experience, and have been at genealogy for a while now. I hate to spend all that money if I'm already sort of ahead of the curve. The ProGen Study Group sound like it would be PERFECT for me. Thanks so much for your interesting post.ReplyDelete
By the way, I heard you speak at the WPL Genealogy Conference back in the spring. I really enjoyed your talk about poverty records. Very interesting...
I'm in the group right now, and I'm learning so much and loving every bit of it. It has already helped me in so many ways to improve so that I am able to conduct my research and finish my reports quicker. It has been a fabulous group!ReplyDelete

one that responds to the colour red
one that responds to the colour green
and one that responds to (naked people) the colour blue
the reason we can see diferent colours apart from these three is the result of all these colours fireing of in difffrent patterns scintest like to call this the hellwackshiznit that happens inside our brizzle"

DONNIE: How's it feel to have a wacko for a son?
ROSE DARKO: It feels wonderful.
Gretchen: ...what if you could go back in time, and take all those hours of pain and darkness and replace them with something better?
[Donnie tries to kiss Gretchen and she pulls away] Donnie: Well I-I, sorry I...
Gretchen: Donnie wait...
Donnie: I like you a lot...
Gretchen: I just want it to be... at a time when... it...
Donnie: When what?
Gretchen: When it reminds me just...
Donnie: When it reminds you of how beautiful the world can be?
Gretchen: Yeah...
[turns her head] Gretchen: and right now there's some fat guy over there staring at us.
Donnie: You are such a fuckass.
Elizabeth: Did you just call me a fuckass? You can go suck a fuck.
Donnie: Oh, please, tell me Elizabeth, how exactly does one suck a fuck?
Donnie: Life isn't that simple. I mean who cares if Ling Ling returns the wallet and keeps the money? It has nothing to do with either fear or love.
Kitty Farmer: Fear and love are the deepest of human emotions.
Donnie: Okay. But you're not listening to me. There are other things that need to be taken into account here. Like the whole spectrum of human emotion. You can't just lump everything into these two categories and then just deny everything else!
Karen Pommeroy: [to Principle Cole] I don't think that you have a clue what it's like to communicate with these kids. We are losing them to apathy... to this prescribed nonsense. They are slipping away.
Donnie: My parents didn't get me what I wanted for Christmas.
Dr. Lilian Thurman: What did you want?
Donnie: Hungry Hungry Hippos.
Dr. Lilian Thurman: And how did you feel, being denied these hungry, hungry hippos?
Donnie: Regret.
Donnie: [taking a cigarette] What will happen if you tell mom about this?
Samantha Darko: You'll put Ariel in the garbage disposal.
Donnie: Goddamn right I will.
DONNIE: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
FRANK: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
Dr. Lilian Thurman: Donnie, an atheist is someone who denies altogether the existence of God. You're an agnostic. An agnostic is someone who believe that there can be no proof of the existence of God, but does not deny the possibility that God exists.
thats a good one from the engl.tv show COUPLING:
I want to spend the rest of my life with the woman at the end of that table there, but that does not stop me wanting to see several thousand more naked bottoms before I die, because that's what being a bloke is. When man invented fire, he didn't say, "Hey, let's cook." He said, "Great, now we can see naked bottoms in the dark." As soon as Caxton invented the printing press, we were using it to make pictures of, hey, naked bottoms! We have turned the Internet into an enormous international database of naked bottoms. So you see, the story of male achievement through the ages, feeble though it may have been, has been the story of our struggle to get a better look at your bottoms..

Mr. Pink: I'm very sorry the government taxes their tips, that's f**ked up. That ain't my fault. It would seem to me that waitresses are one of the many groups the government f**ks in the ass on a regular basis. Look, if you ask me to sign something that says the government shouldn't do that, I'll sign it, put it to a vote, I'll vote for it, but what I won't do is play ball. And as for this non-college bullshit I got two words for that: learn to f**kin' type, 'cause if you're expecting me to help out with the rent you're in for a big f**kin' surprise.

Quotes from Gandhi:
# A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes.
# As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world -- that is the myth of the atomic age -- as in being able to remake ourselves.
# Be the change you want to see in the world.
# God is conscience.
# Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
# A 'No' uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a 'Yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble.
# A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.
# A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion.
# Adaptability is not imitation. It means power of resistance and assimilation.
# Anger and intolerance are the twin enemies of correct understanding.
# You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
# Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart.
# Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.
# Fear is not a disease of the body; fear kills the soul.
# The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world's problems.
# Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him.
# The test of friendship is assistance in adversity, and that too, unconditional assistance. Co-operation which needs consideration is a commercial contract and not friendship. Conditional co-operation is like adulterated cement which does not bind.
# Non-cooperation is an attempt to awaken the masses, to a sense of their dignity and power. This can only be done by enabling them to realize that they need not fear brute force, if they would but know the soul within.
# Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
# It is easy enough to be friendly to one's friends. But to befriend the one who regards himself as your enemy is the quintessence of true religion. The other is mere business.
# Democracy is an impossible thing until the power is shared by all, but let not democracy degenerate into mobocracy.
# They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.
# I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
# Nonviolence is the greatest force at the disposal of mankind. It is mightier than the mightiest weapon of destruction devised by the ingenuity of man.
# An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody will see it.
# Even as wisdom often comes from the mouths of babes, so does it often come from the mouths of old people. The golden rule is to test everything in the light of reason and experience, no matter from where it comes.

text: Isculpt 96 Report post Posted October 2, 2012 I don't want to distress "Oldlady" by being a newbie who asks a question that I 'should' have discovered in the archives or books, but I've read many of both without finding anything definitive on this (and many other topics). In fact, coming from a woodcarving background, I've had to adjust to the fact that clay doesn't have all that many definitive answers; it seems there are myriad ways to get from point A to point B. Recently in reading posts by posters who clearly have extensive knowledge, I have found references to firing to a higher temperature for the bisque firing, and lower for subsequent firings. In researching the subject, I did discover a reference in a book to using that order when working with low fire clays, and reversing the order when using mid or high fire clays, but this is contrary to what I was originally instructed, so now I'm a bit confused. Let's say I have a clay that fires in the 1-4 range, and I want to bisque it, then underglaze fire it -- and possibly finish it off with additions of a cone 4 glaze. How should I proceed, in terms of firing temps? And why? Would that procession be different if the clay were a mid range clay, firing from 2 to 6? And why?

Los Angeles: A gunman was shot by police and three others were found dead Saturday morning inside a home in Colorado's Aurora town, after negotiation failed during a hostage situation, reported Xinhua citing local media.
Police entered the house at about 9 a.m. local time (6 p.m GMT/11.30 p.m.IST) and killed the suspected gunman, during exchange of fire after hours of failed negotiations, the local media reported.
Several nearby homes were evacuated at around 3 a.m. local time (12 p.m. GMT) for safety reasons.
One person inside the barricade home was able to escape by jumping out a second-story window and alerted authorities.
The motivation of the suspect is under investigation, police said.
Local media report said the gunman shot dead three people, but whether the gunman was shot dead by police or he killed himself remain unclear so far.
A mass shooting in one of Aurora's theatres killed 12 people and injured 58 others on July 20, 2012. The sole suspect, James Eagan Holmes, was charged with 24 counts of first degree murder and 116 counts of attempted murder. He will return to court Monday for a hearing.

Police are urging eligible undocumented immigrants to be ready for a new state law going into effect Jan. 1 that allows them to apply for a driver's license for the first time in more than two decades.
At a Latino community forum Wednesday in West Hills, Los Angeles Police Department officials asked undocumented immigrants to pick up a driver's manual at their local Department of Motor Vehicles office or access it online as soon as possible so they can study for the test, learn traffic laws and drive safely come next year.
Last year, there were more than 14,000 collisions in the San Fernando Valley, including 75 fatal collisions in which 80 people were killed, said LAPD Detective Bill Bustos of the West Valley Traffic Division.
"We're trying to make it safer in our community for the pedestrians, the cyclists, the motorcyclists — everyone who is driving on the roadway," Bustos noted before the start of the forum.
"One of the ways to do it is to get a driver's license, because that's telling us that they studied the manual and they took the test and they passed it according to the standards of the Department of Motor Vehicles."
The LAPD, with assistance from the DMV and the Mayor's Office, will be hosting two community meetings next week focusing on Assembly Bill 60, which was signed by the governor in October, and the licensing of undocumented immigrants. The first is Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Ninety-Third Street School, 330 East 93rd St. in South Los Angeles, with the second on Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. at Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, 22021 Gault St. in Canoga Park.
Under federal guidelines, driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants are required to have a different appearance than others so they cannot be used, for example, to board a plane, according to a DMV spokeswoman. However, the carrying of these cards will not be used against the public, said LAPD Lt. Al Labrada, a community outreach liaison for the police chief's office.
"This is not an extension of ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)," Labrada said. "If a person has a different license, that doesn't matter to us. The fact of the matter is that public safety is the most important part for us — whether they have a license, registration and insurance and drive respectfully in the community."
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck echoed a similar sentiment at the forum, telling the audience of nearly 100, including residents and police, that the department belongs to everyone no matter "where you were born, where you live, your economic status (or) your immigrant status."
AB 60 applicants will also have to prepare to show certain paperwork in order to identify themselves and prove they are California residents, said DMV spokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez, adding a list of potentially acceptable documents is still under review and expected to be finalized by the state Office of Administrative Law in November.
Among the proposed submissions are DMV-approved foreign documents such as a Mexican Federal Electoral card, a Guatemalan National ID card, a valid foreign passport, a federal government-issued ID card with a current photo or a valid consular ID, such as the Mexican Consular card, and certain expired foreign passports.
In cases where no valid documents can be produced, the DMV is proposing that a department investigator would attempt to verify the applicant's identity using other records, such as an official school or college transcript, a federal asylum application, a marriage license or divorce decree, a foreign driver's license or an income tax return.
Speaking at the forum, Carlos M. Sada, the Mexican consul general in Los Angeles, hopes to see "long lines" in the DMV offices of undocumented residents applying for their driver's licenses. "Now you can drive without a big concern," he said.
The Mexican government has long been issuing the consular ID — or "matricula consular" — on a daily basis. The document, a form of identification issued by the Mexican government for nationals living in the U.S., is now recognized here at the federal, state and local law enforcement level, he said.
"It's important to have your documents in order and not to use any fake documents, because when there is a problem in the community, it's important that you identify yourself as the person you are," Sada said. "That's the role of the matricula consular."
Speaking in Spanish, Leonor Garcia, a Van Nuys stay-at-home mother, said she was happy to hear from LAPD officials at Wednesday's forum that they weren't going to focus on one's immigration status. She said she knows undocumented people in her community who would be afraid to seek a license or take advantage of other opportunities, such as their children participating in police youth programs, for fear of potential consequences.
"I know many people that say the police are a danger or that the police are bad, but they shouldn't think that because they are here to protect us and help us," said Garcia, who noted that she's in the country legally.

LeRoy Collins was born March 10, 1909, in Tallahassee, Florida. In 1934, Leon County elected Collins to the Florida House of Representatives. Collins later served in the Florida Senate, until successfully running for Governor in a special election in 1955. He won the gubernatorial election again in 1956, becoming the first Florida Governor to serve two consecutive terms in office.
As governor of Florida, Collins clashed with members of the Florida legislature who wanted to halt integration following the historic Brown v. Topeka, Kansas Board of Education ruling in 1954. Governor Collins wrote that efforts by the legislature to uphold segregation constituted an "evil thing, whipped up by the demagogues and carried on the hot and erratic winds of passion, prejudice, and hysteria." (See the document below for more information.)
Collins remained in public service after his second term as governor ended, until losing a bid for the U.S. Senate in 1968. When his career in politics ended, Collins and his wife Mary Call Darby Collins retired to their family home, known as The Grove, located in Tallahassee, Florida. In 1981, Secretary of State George Firestone designated LeRoy Collins as the first "Great Floridian," in recognition of his achievements and significant contributions to the progress and welfare of the state.
LeRoy Collins died in 1991, followed by his wife Mary in 2009. Before LeRoy's death, the Collins family sold The Grove to the State of Florida. The agreement allowed the couple to remain in the home until both passed away. In 2009, the State of Florida began efforts to restore The Grove for use as a multipurpose historic house museum.
Governor LeRoy Collins and Mary Call Darby Collins are remembered for their legacy of public service and for promoting equality for all Floridians.

Cindy Jao, Lead Instructor Cindy discovered a love of yoga several years ago and hasn't looked back since. She completed an intense 200-hour training in India, where she lived on an ashram, deepened her practice, and immersed herself in the yogic lifestyle. Her teaching comes from the heart, and blends her own experiences doing yoga in the East and the West. Her classes emphasize proper alignment and coordination of breath with movement, providing a foundation for developing the individual practice. She is continually inspired by the amazing teachers, students, crossfitters, runners, and climbers that surround her and hopes to share her love of yoga with them.
Kristin Shearer Kristin started practicing yoga as a way to stretch out and recover from years of sports. Although drawn in for the physical benefits, it was the mental benefits that kept her coming back for more. There's nothing like the grounded clarity that comes from an hour of listening to your body and letting go of the rest. Kristin did her 200-hour training at Corepower in 2015, and has been teaching ever since. With an emphasis on creative sequencing and safe alignment, Kristin's classes will leave you feeling strong and stretched.
Melissa Paz Melissa has always been inspired by the human body as an instrument for self expression. Having been a ballet dancer for the majority of her life, she found herself re-ignited by what the practice would bring to her performance. This led her to complete her 200-hr teacher training from CorePower Yoga. Her style of teaching aims to be supportive and personalized, while incorporating a focus on body awareness that she finds integral to various athletic pursuits. She has continuously been both motivated and uplifted by how much the rock climbing and yoga community complement one another in their ability to align mental and physical fortitude. She is excited to foster that connection for her students at MetroRock.
Kate-Marie Roycroft Kate-Marie discovered yoga six years ago when a colleague asked her to join her in a class. She fell in love with the sense of peace and community that yoga gave her and has been practicing ever sense. Kate-Marie received her 200 hour yoga certification from Barre & Soul in Melrose. She teaches a moderately paced vinyasa flow style that is accessible to and enjoyable for all level of practitioner. She loves to bring fun and playful poses into her classes. Kate-Marie tries to find the joy and laughter in the everyday and bring this into her teaching. When not practicing or teaching yoga she can be found climbing with her husband or running through the woods with her dog.

Hannah Phillips grew up with a dream of playing professional basketball. That dream was centered on playing in the WNBA. Phillips has altered her destination, but is still going to live the dream of playing professional basketball. But instead of playing in a large city in the United States Phillips is heading for Australia where she will play for the Wynyard Wild Cats in the North-West Basketball Union. Since graduation in May of 2013 she has continued to work out while also working as a court clerk and helping as an assistant coach for girls' basketball on the varsity and junior varsity level at Brentwood Academy. She gives Lipscomb coach Greg Brown much of the credit in helping her become a part of a team in Australia. She arrives Feb. 4 and will play in her first game Feb. 8. She took some of her time after a workout in Allen Arena to talk about the next level of her basketball career.
How did the opportunity to play professional basketball in Australia develop for you?
"Playing professional basketball is something I have always wanted to do. I asked coach Brown before my senior season began if he thought I could do it. I told him I was not really sure about it. I asked him if it was possible. He said, `oh yeah, you can do this'.
Coach Brown contacted an Australian team for me. Coach Brown was great in helping me. I am so in awe and humbled by what he did for me.
"But coach Brown's job is to coach the women's basketball team. So I also have an agent. He told me, `I have a bite here and I am going to work on it'.
"I wanted to go overseas as soon as I graduated but there was nothing available. I had given up a little bit on the idea of playing pro basketball. I think God opened up this doo for me. For some reason God waited for nine months to do it.
"I am getting kind of nervous about it. When I told my close friends and my mother it was like, `congratulations, this is something you have always wanted to do so don't you feel at peace with this?' I said, no, I feel like I am jumping off a cliff. But I am also ready for a new adventure. I can't wait. It will be awesome."
Give us some background on your team and what your life will be like over there?
"Australia is definitely a good place to go. Through Lipscomb I have been there before on a mission trip to Brisbane but this time I will be in Tasmania (northwest coast). I've got a lot of contacts over there from my mission trip and other friends.
"I will be playing for the Wynyard Wild Cats in the city of Wynyard in the North-West Basketball Union. I have no idea what the quality of basketball is over there.
"They have asked me to play a point guard plus the No. 2 guard. They know I am a No. 3 or No. 4 forward. But I will handle the ball. I can handle the ball getting it from point A to point B. That is what I had to learn last year, driving the ball. I will do whatever they need me to do.
"Basketball is a part of who I am. I am passionate about basketball. I want to bring that passion to my team.
"I have a 24-week contract. I get there Feb. 4. My first game is Feb. 8. I furnish a car. They have an apartment for me and a weekly salary. I will have a part-time job helping coach a younger club teams.
"It is going to be summer when I get there but it will be winter when I leave in July. They have told me to pack warm clothes.
"I want to be friends with my teammates. That is what I miss the most is having those friendships. I want to be competitive. I have won a lot and I have lost a lot. That's okay. I miss the competition. I want to do well."
What years did you play basketball at Lipscomb? Who were your coaches?
"I came to Lipscomb in 2009. I played three years with coach Frank Bennett. I played my last year for coach Greg Brown.
"I came to Lipscomb to play NCAA Division I basketball. I had played against Jenna Bartsokas in high school so I knew something about the team. This was the best opportunity to help me become the best player possible."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
My senior year we lost to (then No. 16) Vanderbilt 62-45. I had 21 points. I grew up down the street from Vanderbilt. I was a ball girl for them. They were like my idols growing up.
"To get to play them and do well against them was awesome. We are a Division I team and they are too but they are in the Southeastern Conference. We had to forget about that and play.
"Anything can happen on any given night. We snuck my Dad (Tim) out of the hospital to see the Vanderbilt game. If I had gone somewhere else to play basketball my Dad wouldn't have been able to see me play."
You mentioned your father. He passed away during your senior season. Talk about the emotional impact of your senior year.
"My senior year was the most emotional ride. It was tough. My father died (age 51). I reached 1,000 points for my career. We were only one win away from making it to the Atlantic Sun Tournament.
"There were games when I would go up to Alex Banks or somebody else and say, `I can't do this. I am not mentally tough enough to do this on my own'.
"But my teammates built me up so much. I was always at the hospital and then I was back at practice. Practice was a place for me to forget. It was a place to get all of that pent up energy and anger out. And I could go back to the hospital and tell my Dad about it.
"He wanted us to live our lives. I missed one practice and one game my senior year. He didn't want me to miss practices or games because he was sick.
"His death was definitely a huge part of my life. It still is."
Who had the biggest influence on you during your athletic career at Lipscomb? How?
"It depends. There were different stages in my growth.
"Beth Stark played here and she helped me get recruited to come here. She was definitely an influence in me getting here.
"Coach Bennett turned me into the player I was through my junior year. I was raw athletically when I came to Lipscomb.
"Coach Bennett was more mental. I was immature in learning and adapting to college. As a player you think you know everything. Coach Bennett was the coach and I had to mature and learn to respect that. It is because of him I am able to deal with tough bosses and cranky employees. He taught me how to deal with people. I have such gratitude for him in teaching me that. He probably doesn't even know he did that.
"Coach Brown's was more from the physical side of basketball. I fell right into it. I fit right into his motion offense. I had the energy and the passion for it. I loved every minute of it. I loved everything he said, even if he was hard on us. He was just trying to inspire us. He pushed me even harder.
"I was the player that got singled out by the other teams. I got beat up. But that toughened me up."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"My best friends are from Lipscomb. My freshmen year players from both the men's and women's teams would come over to our house on Sundays and my mother would cook. We were a little rat pack. We hung together. My mother loved having people over.
"I miss the most being on a team. I miss having the camaraderie and trust."
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"We didn't have the best seasons. When you are winning you are the best and you learn so much, but losing taught me a lot. I am able to handle adverse situations. I can look at things more positively than some other people because of those losses.
"Classes were hard. I also was dealing with my Dad being sick. It broke me down and built me back up and not just on the court.
"I am not sure if it was the institution of Lipscomb or the time and the place of me being here and the people that God put into my life but everything is working out for me. I played in Division I. I am going to play professional basketball. I had this huge dream. I am going to get to do it. It is crazy how things have worked in my life."
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"I was in the Honors College. I never had him as a classroom teach but I appreciate Dr. Paul Prill and how flexible he was with my schedule and the honors class schedule. He was wonderful. He was every helpful. I was able to get into all of the classes I needed.
"I was a psychology major. Dr. Paul Turner was very kind and very informative. He joked with us. It was back-and-forth in class with him. He has a lot of conversations with us. He was a very helpful and motivating person. He helped set me up with an internship. I appreciated his classes."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"I am a court clerk for the Davidson County Chancery Court. I have taken the LSAT. I also have been coaching at Brentwood Academy helping out with the high school and junior varsity basketball teams.
"I knew I wanted to play pro basketball and I wanted to get another degree. I think law school will fit my study habits and interests.
"I haven't applied to law school yet. That will give me something to do while I am in Australia."

Once Upon a Time . . .
Here it is just a few years later and she has a baby of her own! How does time go by so fast? In a few years, her baby will be grown, too.
Though she's there and we're here, my heart is there with her today, wishing her the happiest of birthdays.
Here's a little cake for you, Natasha. I wish it were real but it wouldn't travel well in the mail and I know your sister baked you a real one yesterday. I guess this is for the memory of happy birthdays at home.
Happy Birthday, dear Natasha!
To you, dear readers: This photo with the cake was taken a few years ago but it could have been taken today. Our birthday cakes are always, always the same recipe: Sharon's Chocolate Cake. We all love it and ask for it every year for our birthdays. Come back on Friday and I'll share the recipe.

Happy birthday to Natasha from across the pond.ReplyDelete
Children are all too soon grown and have babes of their own. I miss my babies and sure would love the opportunity to start again knowing how quickly time passes. I cherish my four children and do adore with all my heart the eight grandchildren they have given me. Thank you for your heart warming story. P>S> Choc. cake is our favorite too. Happy Birthday Natasha.ReplyDelete
Happy belated birthday to Natasha, and the babe is simply precious...ReplyDelete

Happy Birthday Natasha! Yes, time goes by much too fast doesn't it? Especially when it comes to our children growing up.ReplyDelete
Thank you for the birthday wishes! (Even though I'm late reading this and commenting). It better be more than just a few years, but as I already know the time does pass quickly. All too quickly. And I think it's funny that I think I look tiny in the photo but Malachi was a good three pounds lighter than me even!ReplyDelete
I appreciate your comments and look forward to reading what you have to say. Thanks for stopping by.

Taking inspiration from the Ottoman Empire and Topkapi architecture, Boris Bidjan Saberi's Fall/Winter 2014 collection, "Structurism," channels a futuristic yet primal world. Unveiling a more structured silhouette than previous seasons, the designer combined his attention to detail in sophisticated tailoring with the brand's usual streetwear aesthetic. Models appeared like nomadic travelers from the future – a juxtaposition of clean lines with rough knit fabrics and soft shapes with sleek leathers. A key highlight was the black-and-white geometric jacquard fabric which adorned pants and jackets, confirming the brand's position as a purveyor of luxury modern garments made using meticulous techniques.

6-Month* financing available.
Drums to fit a player's expression in every genre, style, mood and technique.
Starclassic Bubinga shells are made slightly thicker than those in Tama's Starclassic Maple series to provide a more aggressive attack, a fuller deep and dark tone, and more powerful resonance. Numerous options are available to meet the varied and critical needs of professional drummers including a selection of more than 30 different shell sizes. Starclassic Bubinga is simply an unprecedented combination of sight and sound.
African bubinga wood is approximately 53% harder than maple and birch. Acoustically speaking, bubinga provides very sharp and aggressive attack combined with unbelievably rich and fat lows. Tama's 9-ply, 6mm bubinga shells (the bass is 7mm) are slightly thicker than their maple drums which allow the drums to speak to their fullest.
The Star-Cast Mounting System has always provided maximum resonance and stability for Tama's drums. A streamlined design makes it easier to position toms closer together, while a switch to aluminum provides lighter weight and truer tonal vibration. Hoops affect drum tuning and drum sound, which is why Tama uses zinc die-cast hoops, which are manufactured by injecting molten metal into molds. The rest of the drums are fitted with die-cast hoops for consistent tuning, crisper attack and powerful rim shots.
Starclassic Bubinga's claw hooks feature rubber spacers that help protect wood hoops from damage. The hooks and hoops work as one unit and won't separate or rattle, even on loose tunings. Tama's MSB30 die-cast bracket holds the spur bracket securely, thanks to the same powerful hinge mechanism used on the MTB30 mounting bracket.Unique memory markers found on the folding spur bracket help simplify set up. Starclassic's Air Pocket rubber feet feature a special air chamber, that eliminates the transfer of vibrations to the floor (which chokes sustain and sound) and absorbs shock for better playing.
The Hold Tight washer is a cup-shaped stainless steel washer that contains a rubber ring so the tension rod pushes both the cup washer and the rubber ring. Normally, vibrations will eventually loosen the tension rod. But the softness of Hold Tight's rubber ring keeps it in contact with both the tension rod and the hoop at all times and maintains friction between them so that tension is always preserved.
Evans heads are featured on all Starclassic drums (except bass drum front heads). On the rack and floor toms, Genera G2 2-ply clear batter heads and Genera G1 1-ply clear bottom heads provide both durability and solid sound. Starclassic bass drums are fitted with Genera EQ4 clear batter heads.
Cymbals, hardware and snare sold separately.

Many today speak of a deficit of trust between Americans and the federal government. And with good reason. Washington has not only done nothing to deserve trust, but has seemingly done everything possible to destroy it.
The simple reality is that Americans will never trust Washington until Washington trusts America. After all, who can trust a government that believes it is ok to lie to you, spy on you, target you and then arm its agencies against you?
Americans were disturbed by recent events between Bureau of Land Management (BLM) agents and a renegade rancher in Nevada. A number of us worked strategically to diffuse a potentially deadly – and completely unnecessary – standoff in the desert. As the situation played out I was shocked by much of what took place and wondered aloud, "Why on earth does the BLM have a sniper team! Why are their agents trained in Special Tactics? After all, these are regulatory agencies NOT military units!"
And the BLM is not alone. Almost every regulatory agency now has a special law enforcement division with the capability to bully or intimidate the American people. A partial list of these units includes the IRS, EPA, National Park Service, Department of Education, and Food and Drug Administration. Think about that, the Department of Education has a special law enforcement division! Armed with such units and a distrust of the American people, these heavy-handed enforcement groups are all but certain to abuse their power at some point.
There is a reason that local sheriffs are elected. If they or their deputies abuse their authority, the people can seek redress. If the local authorities do not correct their own behavior, they can be replaced.
Consider the appropriateness of a Department of Education SWAT team that battered down a California father's front door, placed him in handcuffs, isolated his three children then aggressively interrogated him; or the Food and Drug Administration law enforcement team which raided a family farm in Pennsylvania over the transportation of unpasteurized milk to a co-op of mothers in Washington D.C.
These examples of abuse, as along with countless others, are the reason I am leading the charge to defund paramilitary units for any regulatory agency.
I understand that federal agents must be capable of protecting themselves. But what we have observed here goes far beyond providing necessary protection. It is a demonstration of the federal government's distrust of the American people, excessive concentration of power and an ability to intimidate us in ways that we never could have imagined just a few years ago.
We are witnessing the criminalization of America, where any one of us may find our front doors broken down and a SWAT team in camouflage standing in our living rooms. It is also why we may find ourselves under arrest for some innocent action that no reasonable person would think is illegal, like helping an injured bird, getting lost on a snowmobile on federal land, or shipping lobsters in plastic instead of cardboard boxes. And as absolutely absurd as these examples sound, they have all led to federal investigations of private citizens.
The militarization of agencies and the criminalization of trivial actions are only symptoms of a much deeper and more troubling problem within Washington.
The heart of the problem is that the federal government no longer trusts the American people. When all of us feel that we are no longer seen as citizens but as potential suspects – a relationship of trust is impossible.
Trust matters. And with the tremendous challenges we face as a nation and the difficult decisions we must make to preserve future opportunities for our children – trust matters more than ever. That is why I'm going to lead a sustained campaign to restore and build trust – beginning with my effort to defund paramilitary capabilities from federal agencies.
America will never trust Washington, until Washington trusts America! I trust America and will continue to work everyday to convince my colleagues in Congress to do the same. Vote by vote, law by law, regulation by regulation, agency by agency, we will rebuild trust in America – and reclaim our future as a nation.

NASCAR Abuses DMCA To Try To Delete Fan Videos Of Daytona Crash
from the that's-now-how-copyright-works dept
As the press started calling, NASCAR gave what might seem like a perfectly reasonable response:
The fan video of the wreck on the final lap of today's NASCAR Nationwide Series race was blocked on YouTube out of respect for those injured in today's accident. Information on the status of those fans was unclear and the decision was made to err on the side of caution with this very serious incident.—Steve Phelps, NASCAR Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing OfficerSounds great, except it's totally bogus. NASCAR may well be concerned about those injured by the crash, but that does not give them the right to automatically remove someone else's video, nor does it allow them to abuse the DMCA takedown process for that purpose. The DMCA only applies to copyright.
Of course, once again, we're seeing how when our laws make it easy to censor via copyright claims, many people seek to do exactly that. Thankfully, all of the attention on the takedown has resulted in YouTube doing what appears to have been an expedited review, and have put the video back:

That eco-car challenge, named after the Michelin Man — aka Bibendum — carried on over the weekend in Paris, despite the recent death of its champion, Edouard Michelin. The electric rides were palpable. Take, for example, the Courreges ZOOOP (pictured), which revives the Jetsons bubble-car sensibility (also known as the "solar oven") as an electric-powered speedster that can go from zero to 60 in six seconds. But with skyward gas prices, fuel supply concerns and global warming hogging the spotlight this summer, can the members agree on which alternative power source — e.g., electricity, natural gas (CNG), distilled corn, Chanel No5 — will take the mantle from today's GODJ (good,old dino juice)? Good question. [Thanks to Mirko for the tip.]

Shares of LinkedIn (NASDAQ:LNKD) soared more than 21% Friday as analysts applauded its stronger-than-expected fourth quarter earnings and upbeat outlook.
Continue Reading Below
The Mountain View, Calif.-based professional social network posted a bottom- and top-line beat late Thursday thanks in large part to new products like Talent Solutions and an increase in premium subscriptions.
LinkedIn also forecast revenue in the current quarter between $305 million and $310 million, which is above the consensus view of $301 million, according to a Thomson Reuters poll.
The Silicon Valley giant was met with strong analyst support on Friday morning with a string of upbeat analyst notes and price target increases.
Unlike some of its rivals, analysts seem to be greatly pleased with the fact that the tech company is being innovative and producing new products and services that contribute directly to top-line growth. That is something Facebook (NYSE:FB) has been criticized for.
"Rapid product innovation and high engagement drove upside to growth in all segments, and LinkedIn passed the 200M+ members milestone in the quarter," J.P. Morgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) analysts said in a note. "We expect shares to respond favorably to the better than expected 4Q results and solid 2013 outlook."
J.P. Morgan raised its price target on LinkedIn to $163 from $142.
Shares of the business networking site climbed more than 21% to an all-time high of $150.45 on Friday. Its shares have grown a whopping 31% since the beginning of January.
Other brokerages to raise their price targets on LinkedIn were Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), Barclays (NYSE:BCS) and Evercore (NYSE:EVR).

Difference between revisions of "Theophanes (Kim) of Kyzyl"

SEATTLE -- Seattle University canceled its decade-long personal training rec center program because of declining student participation.
The program was temporarily halted over the summer quarter, then officially canceled for fall, former trainer Carol Lorenz recently told the Seattle University Spectator.
"The cost was $50 per hour, $30 per half hour, and so that became cost ineffective for the students," Kristen Christopher, Seattle University strength and fitness coordinator, told the student newspaper.
Lorenz said the personal training program began declining in fall 2008, reflecting industry-wide economic trends.
During the past school year, the program had no more than four students in it at a given time, Christopher said, compared with about 1,200 daily visitors to the center.
In early November, the school announced plans to build an 18,750-square-foot fitness center addition slated for completion by fall of 2011. The university still needs to raise $5 million toward that project, which is expected to cost $10 million. The center is slated to be built according to LEED Gold standards.
Meanwhile, Christopher told the newspaper that the personal training program probably would be reinstated in a new format, using student trainers who charge students lower rates.

Okay, so last week I laid claim to the creation of a new Blogging Theme - Sentimental Sunday - and then today I had a full day of BUSYNESS, and, although it was in the back of my mind all day, just didn't get around to doing the post. So, I decided to put if off til next week, but then.... I had to go and open my reader, and the first thing I saw was a Sentimental Sunday post by my genea-buddy, Luckie Daniels. So, with guilt setting in, let me get to typing before the clock strikes 12!
This Sunday, I want to honor the memory of my brother, Arthur, who was just 17 months older than I, and who passed away at the age of 23 from liver cancer. Arthur and I were like twins. We were so close in age that we did everything together. We had the same friends in the neighborhood, were just a grade apart in school, and fought like cats and dogs (lol), like all loving siblings do. :) Arthur is the only person with whom I shared my entire childhood. He knew all of my secrets, and I knew his. We shared the joys and pains of growing up in our rather dysfunctional family, and we provided that quiet, but solid support for each other through it all.
Arthur and I grew up in a time when kids made fun out of anything, and that's exactly what we did. We were Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack ("Where is the Love?) and Cowboys and Indians. We built tents on our stairway, played hide-and-seek in the house, slid down the banister when our parents weren't looking, and competed to see who could jump from the highest step - and land on their feet. But one of my most cherished memories of fun times with my brother are those of us sneaking late night snacks after everyone in the house had gone to bed. Here's how it worked:
Arthur's room and mine were on opposite sides of the staircase, but our closet walls met above the front foyer. We would set our game plan before saying goodnight, and at an appointed time, we'd each go into our closets and listen for the special knock that meant the other was there, too. It was my job to check to be sure that my parents' door was closed, since my room was next to theirs, and Arthur would make sure that neither of my older brothers were around (which they never were). When the coast was clear, we'd knock in unison, and then creep out of our rooms to meet at the top of the stairs. One of us would go to the bathroom (so as to be able to flush the toilet for noise) while the other crept quietly down the steps to get our snack, which one of us had usually conveniently hidden in one of a few places downstairs. (Our favorite spot was the big wooden Dutch shoes that sat very close to the staircase in the dining room.) With the lookout standing just inside the bathroom door at the top of the stairs, the other would creep quietly back up, pass over the shared snack, and we'd each retreat back to our closets to eat it!
I can't quite figure out why Arthur and I had to go to these ends just to have a snack, but for us, the thrill of the adventure was worth it. Sometimes, I think my parents had to know what we were up to, but I guess as long as we weren't bothering them, they just let us have our fun!
My brother has been gone now for 25 years, but I think of him and miss him dearly every single day.

MIDDLEBURY — When Middlebury College is in session, the school's radio station, WRMC 91.1-FM, experiences such high demand for radio shows from its student body that it can fill every hour of the week with original programming, and still must turn away aspiring DJs.
During the summer, the complexion of the station's weekly schedule looks — and sounds — considerably different.
MIDDLEBURY — When radio pioneer Jay Allison spoke at Middlebury College on March 16, the turn out was significantly larger than anticipated. After moving to a larger auditorium to accommodate hoards of eager listeners, dozens of students and community members were turned away from the free talk due to what organizers called "a fire hazard."

Macy's in the Christiana Mall will welcome Santa Claus on Saturday, Dec. 8 at 2 p.m., just a couple weeks after his appearance in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade in New York City.
Santa will welcome one and all to join in the festivities, as he reminds everyone about the spirit of the Christmas season and shares a few magical moments with his jolly elves.
Earlier in the day, Santa will make a special visit to the Ronald McDonald House of Delaware where he spread holiday cheer to the families of seriously or chronically ill or injured children.
The event is part of Santa's national bus tour launched in 2009 as part of Macy's annual "Believe" campaign, taking St. Nick on a whirlwind bus trip across the United States. This year, Macy's and Aflac will partner as the National Santa Tour hits the road, bringing holiday happiness to cities from coast-to-coast.
Now in its fifth year, Macy's "Believe" campaign invites children of all ages to mail letters to Santa using Macy's Santa Mail letterboxes. Macy's donates $1 for each letter mailed in stores, up to $1 million, to Make-A-Wish.
