Penn State spring sports: Nittany Lion track coach will lead U.S. women's world team
The Penn State track and field program has been increasingly competitive in recent years, and the work of its head coach has not gone unnoticed.
Beth Alford-Sullivan has received a major honor as a reward for the work she has put together with the Nittany Lion track and field program.
Alford-Sullivan, the director and head coach for Penn State, has been named head coach for the U.S. women's team for this summer's World Championships.
"This is as good as it gets," Alford-Sullivan said Tuesday. "We had a tremendous Olympic run this past summer, so the World Champs will be quite an experience."
Penn State made the announcement during the athletic department's spring sports media day.
Alford-Sullivan has been associated with the U.S. program for years. She was an assistant coach at the 2004 Olympics in Athens, has been on the staff multiple times at World Championships and also at lower age level events.
The IAAF World Championships will be held in Moscow from Aug. 10-18.
As Alford-Sullivan pointed out, being the head coach for the most part does not involve actual coaching, but more organizing and managing a team of about 70 competitors.
All the athletes have their own coaches, so her job will mostly entail scheduling and lineup decisions like who will run legs of relays.
She is hoping to have a few familiar faces on the team this summer. Penn State assistant coach for throws Ryan Whiting and former Nittany Lion distance runner Bridget Franek competed for the U.S. and were among about a half-dozen Penn State athletes who were in last summer's Olympics in London. Whiting has already informed Alford-Sullivan he plans to be throwing in Moscow.
"Bridget will definitely be planning to be on the team again," Alford-Sullivan said, pausing for a few seconds before adding, "she better be."
Hitting the city
This coming weekend, Alford-Sullivan will be leading a much smaller contingent to an event that has its own rich history. Penn State will be sending its 4x800-meter relay team to the Millrose Games in New York.
The team was invited to the event, which will be held for the 105th time and second at The Armory after a long history at Madison Square Garden, and has a sizable goal in mind.
"We're on a mission to try and set another collegiate record," Alford-Sullivan said. "The 4x8 collegiate record's been on the books for a while now, it's (7:17), we feel we've got four, if not more, legs that can easily set up a good race to set that collegiate record."
The record is 7:17.45 set by a foursome from Clemson in 1989.
The 4x800 relay is not an official NCAA indoor event, though it is for outdoors, and the Nittany Lions have four of the top 16 times in the nation in the 800. Leading that group is the nation's leader at 1:46.98, Casimir Loxsom, who is eager to be close to home.
"Millrose is always something I've wanted to do since high school," said Loxsom, who is a native of New Haven, Conn., which is about 70 miles away. "It's the closest major track to where I live in Connecticut. I'm really excited to be going close to home to race. My family's going to get to come down. It's a really short train ride. It's such a prestigious meet. There are so many high-level athletes there that I've raced against, raced with, seen compete and looked up so it's a really exciting experience."
Loxsom will be joined by Ricky West, Ryan Brennan, Brandon Kidder and Za'von Watkins, who also will not be far from his hometown of Liverpool, near Syracuse. Alford-Sullivan has not decided which four of those five, or their order, will actually run in the race.
Despite also having major success in the mile – Kidder and Robby Creese have broken 4 minutes in that event this year – the Nittany Lions will not have anyone run that event, saving the athletes for next week's Big Ten Championships.
Going Southbound
The Nittany Lion men's lacrosse team will get to enjoy a little warmer conditions this weekend. Penn State will meet No. 9 Denver in the Moe's Southwest Grill Lacrosse Classic at Everbank Field in Jacksonville, Fla. The 67,164-seat stadium is home to the NFL's Jaguars and the Gator Bowl.
While they are not expecting a full house, the No. 15 Nittany Lions are hoping for a good turnout in an effort to promote lacrosse in general to the region and Penn State lacrosse in particular.
They also are eager to experience a game in a big venue.
"I'm just real excited to play on a big stage like this," said senior attacker Jack Forster. "I've actually never been, in past years, in a big stage like this so me, myself and the team are very excited to get down there and actually compete against a top-five team."
Head coach Jeff Tambroni wants his team to approach the event in a business-like manner, even if it is something different and on live national television (NBC Sports Network).
While taking the field in an NFL stadium may be new for the Nittany Lions, it's not for Tambroni. Before taking over at Penn State, he guided three Cornell teams to national semifinals, including twice at M&T Stadium in Baltimore and the 2009 national championship game at the New England Patriots' Gillette Stadium.
"I'm not sure what to expect down there but I'm sure it's going to be a valuable experience for our guys," Tambroni said. "If we're ever going to get to that point … the stage in and of itself can overwhelm you if it's the first time you've ever done it, so we as a coaching staff wanted to put our guys in a couple of positions … where the stage is just a little bit bigger than a home or away site."

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland, Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Michael Hoey had an eagle 2 on his final hole Thursday to join a first-place tie at the European Tour's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in Scotland.
Hoey's 2 at the par-4 18th at St. Andrew's Old Course moved him to 6-under-par 66 and into a tie with Rafael Cabrera-Bello, Markus Brier and Louis Oosthuizen.
The tournament is split over three courses -- the Old Course, Kingsbarns Golf Links and Carnoustie -- for the first three days. The final round is contested at St. Andrews.
Hoey and Brier played St. Andrews Thursday while Cabrera-Bello and Oosthuizen were on Kingsbarns. Marc Warren, one of six players tied at 5-under, had the day's low round at Carnoustie. Two-time defending champion Martin Kaymer is among the 11 players at 4-under.
Hoey opened his round with two birdies and made the turn at 4-under. He had back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 11-12 but answered with back-to-back birdies on the next two holes. The eagle at 18 got him a share of the lead.
Brier had eight birdies only to have a double-bogey 6 at No. 16 pull him back.
Cabrera-Bello got going with an eagle 3 at Kingsbarns' third hole. He added six birdies against one bogey before a bogey at the 18th hole dropped him into the tie for first.
Oosthuizen was 6-under before his long bogey of the day came at the 17th hole. A birdie at 18 put him in the lead.

Maternity Care in America: Thoughts by Nuria Nelkin, Certified Nurse Midwife/
How does society view pregnancy and birth? How do YOU view pregnancy? How do YOU view birth? Is it automatically an illness/problem? Are pregnant women ill, weak? Is it a natural state of the body? Can things go wrong? When are interventions appropriate?
The belief and attitude towards pregnancy and birth as a normal part of life versus an illness waiting to happen is the basis between the medical versus midwifery models of obstetric care. The short answer is, NO. Most pregnancies are not a medical problem. Because there is always a possibility of complication during the amazing transformation of a woman growing a person, it is sensible to monitor pregnancies closely to be able to recognize potential or actual problems, and refer to appropriate providers (that can manage a higher risk/problem) as needed.
Approximately 90% of births in the U.S. are attended by physicians (National Vital Statistics Reports, 2014). All women do not need a surgeon to directly manage their pregnancy, labor, and birth. Physicians/surgeons are taught how to analyze situations by identifying a medical problem and solving it. Labor and birth don't always need that type of analysis or intervention. The midwifery model approaches pregnancy and birth as a normal process until proven otherwise.
Midwives are taught to educate women about the process of labor, birth, and motherhood and help a woman manage labor and birth, while also having the skills to identify complications. They are taught to handle small complications and identify which ones they need to send on to a physician. Sometimes that means using their amazing, life-saving surgical skills; sometimes it does not. Although not everyone needs the skills of a surgeon at their births; every woman can benefit from the presence of a midwife.
Midwives and obstetricians working as a team is the perfect answer. Having hands-on care treating pregnancy as normal unless it presents otherwise, and involving the obstetrician/physician in the care if concern arises, gives women high-touch, low-intervention care unless otherwise necessary.
About Nuria:
After working as a nurse for several years and experiencing the pregnancy and birth of her second child, she knew pursuing a career in midwifery was her calling and dream, and completed her MSN in Nurse-Midwifery at Frontier Nursing University. Nuria is also a wife and mother of two young, active boys. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, reading, and exercising. She offers waterbirth with Providence Midwifery at North Fulton Regional Hospital.

Christmas is upon us, and I still haven't bought anything.
Christmas is upon us, and I still haven't bought anything.
I just haven't mustered the energy to shop. And I'm not alone. A survey conducted from Dec. 3-5 by RetailMeNot found that 87 percent of consumers still had holiday shopping to do.
Maybe you haven't finished your shopping because you don't know what to buy folks. Perhaps I can help. How about a money-minded gift?
Give cash. Cash is king, and it's really supreme when used to help pay someone's bill. Times are still pretty tough for a lot of people. So rather than give them something they don't need, help them get out of debt, catch up on an overdue bill or get ahead of one.
Create a gift certificate offering specific help with something. Offer to pay a cable bill or utilities for a month. Put that on the certificate. Regiftable.com allows you to personalize a certificate with five nice themes. (Click on the link "Don't Want to Regift.") Write a letter expressing your desire to help them not with a handout but a hand up.
Give knowledge. Reading is fundamental and essential to understanding personal finance. Give someone a subscription to a magazine that can literally enrich his or her life. They may not jump for joy. But you don't know how many times I've heard someone say, "I have no idea how to invest."
Give a session with a financial adviser. A full-fledged financial plan by an adviser can be costly. But you can arrange to pay for a session with a fee-only planner who charges a flat hourly rate. You want to give a sales-pitch-free session that will give someone a financial check-up.
You can also search for a fee-only planner through the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (napfa.org). Ask if the planner offers gift certificates.
Kiplinger's (one of my gift ideas) had a feature focusing on a few sites where you can get online financial advice. I particularly like the suggestion for Smart401k.com, which works with people by phone, email or online to help figure out how to invest in their employer- sponsored retirement plans such as a 401(k) or the federal Thrift Savings Plan. The service will look at your workplace investment choices and recommend what funds you should invest in and how much money you should allocate to each one. With a yearly membership, people get a quarterly update of the recommendations. A yearly membership is $199.95. But you can also get a quarterly membership for $59 and let the person try out the service. You can buy a Smart401k gift certificate.
I fully admit, my gift ideas aren't likely to result in the usual glee people show when they open a present. What I've recommended is akin to the socks or pajamas you got as a child. But if you're patient, you'll get your praise later.

Best-selling romance writer, Darcy Butler, is holding out for perfection in the form of her own carefully-crafted heroes. Once blissfully engaged to be married, Darcy's post-traumatic commitment phobia is depriving her of the very thing she wants most: her very own happily-ever-after. Now, here she is just six months shy of her thirtieth birthday, and not a Prince Charming in sight.
Successful lawyer, Josh Ryan, is the boy-next-door with a soft spot for the less fortunate, and Darcy's best friend without benefits. Darcy often comes to him lamenting her love-life, or the lack thereof, whereupon Josh patiently doles out his sage advice. Problem is Josh is in love with Darcy.
But when Darcy finds herself looking into the handsome face of the man who graces the cover of her soon-to-be-released novel, she's convinced her dreams of perfection have come true. Or have they?
If you're a woman, then you've dreamed of the perfect love with the perfect man. Only the guy you're with doesn't quite fit the description. So you think it must be him but did you ever stop to wonder, Could it be me? Now hold that thought right there.
Personally, I blame Disney. That's why I'm still single waiting for Prince Charming or rather John Smith or any male Disney lead. Of course let's not leave out Jane Austen's literary works and modern day romantic comedies where love is tied and wrapped and presented to you all with humor. But I'm losing track of my point here. Do you still have that thought? Good, now think. What did Disney, Jane Austen, and romantic comedies really do?
They made us believe in love but they in no way said their views or ideas were the only way to measure love. My point is, love can come in many ways and forms; and that what we see and read are not the only definitions. So stop looking for perfection ladies. There is no such thing, but the perfect person for you will be your perfect romance. Now if only someone had said something to the heroine of this book.
Darcy Butler is a romance novelist who writes about love all the time. So you'd think she'd be an expert on the subject. But since her heart break from the cheating bastard ex-fiancé Doug, Darcy has been leaving them left and right waiting for her perfect guy to swoop in and whisk her away to happily ever after. If only she knew there was a guy already there, picking up the pieces of her every heartache.
Josh has been in love with Darcy since the first time he laid eyes on her. Only problem, Darcy just sees him as a friend. Of course Josh friend zoned himself after Doug the cheating bastard, just trying to be a supportive friend at the time. But now he is the guy Darcy always runs to vent about her guy problems and she doesn't see Josh as the guy who could solve all her problems and be the one to love her.
Well no more. While Josh would love to ensure their friendship won't be jeopardized, he can no longer pretend he isn't in love with her. Josh is going to tell Darcy how he feels and whatever happens, happens. If she loves, great and they can finally have a life together. But if she doesn't, he'll just have to accept only her friendship and finally move on. But no love is triumphant without an obstacle to scale over.
Just as Josh has finally racked up his courage, in comes perfection in all his perfect glory. Dr. Blake Garrett, who also happens to be identical to the hero of Darcy's latest publishing in progress novel. How can Josh compete with a guy Darcy practically invented herself? He can't really but Josh isn't so sure this Dr. Garrett is who he says he is. So before Josh completely throws in the towel, he's going to make sure it's a fair fight and find out if this Blake character is legit or not.
Well Darcy couldn't be any happier. Her dream man was real! He was exactly as she had written him. Maybe even more perfect. He knew all the right things to say, all the right things to do, she was on cloud nine. Well there was this one thing. His kisses weren't perfect. There was desire and passion but no devotion and need. His kisses were almost just physical, absolutely no emotion involved. Her perfect could not fall short because of some kiss and yet Darcy couldn't get the thought out of her mind. Still have that thought? Maybe Blake kisses weren't the problem but Darcy's ideals of the perfect kiss as well as the perfect man? Was she just wrong about Blake or was Blake wrong for her? How will she ever figure this out?
And what about Josh? Will he discover who Blake truly is? And what if Blake is for real, could he really destroy Darcy's happiness? But what about his own? Is it time to move on now and avoid hurting Darcy and himself altogether? So many questions, but nowhere near answers or love.
That's the thing about love, it isn't all sunshine and roses but it can be achieved with effort and some work. Dreams of Perfection teaches us the true meaning of the word 'perfection' and that perfect doesn't mean without flow, it just means perfect or ideal for us. Dreams of Perfection also helps us understand that just because you label something perfect doesn't mean it is and vice versa. Most importantly, Dhows us that real love isn't perfect and that is the way it should be.

Carlsen Wins November's "Titled Tuesday"
Last week, just prior to the Champions Showdown in St. Louis, Magnus Carlsen won the November edition of the "Titled Tuesday" competition on Chess.com. It's a 10 round tournament played with a 3'+2" time control, and it's a very strong event. (Other participants included Hikaru Nakamura, Maxime Vachier-Lagrave, Dmitry Andreikin and tons of other GMs.) Carlsen won with an undefeated 9-1 score, but he had a huge scare in round 9, nearly losing to a French national master named Kevin Bordi. Bordi had a great tournament, and even mere masters can upset super-GMs every once in a while, especially in blitz. As it happened, Carlsen escaped with a draw, by the skin of his teeth, after being thoroughly lost for a very long time.
But what makes the game especially notable, blogworthy, is that Mr. Bordi achieved all of this with the worst opening in chess: the Grob, aka the Spike. (That's 1.g4?/??*, for those unfamiliar with the nomenclature.) Carlsen chose about the only setup against it that can sort of justify it, and while he wasn't worse even then the position was difficult for Black to play in a blitz game. Carlsen finally went (what should have been) fatally wrong with 25...Qe8 (Black is fine after 25...Nf5), and had Bordi played 33.Be6+ before playing Bxd4 he would have been a heavy favorite to convert his advantage. After 33.Bxd4 it was messy, with both players (but still mostly Bordi) having winning chances before the game finished in a perpetual.
Here's the game, without comments but with notation giving the time used each move. May the game produce a "spike" of interest in the Grob, for the benefit of those of us wishing an easy day with Black.
* For those who think I'm exaggerating with that punctuation, you're right - but only a little. Run it on a major engine (I just checked with the big three) and you'll see that Black is immediately clearly better. White has a minus score, and Black has more than one excellent setup against the opening. And the main reason the score isn't worse is the context: it's sometimes played by higher-rated opponents against lower-rated opposition as a contemptuous psychological ploy (or at best to avoid theory/wasting prep), and it's sometimes played by addicts who know it so well that their enormous experiential advantage compensates somewhat for the line's objective demerits. And yet Black still has a healthy plus score.

Robert Oster Green Diamond is a solid green, bright and strong. It does shade. It shades best with the 1.1mm stub nib. Robert Oster Green Diamond reminds me of Montblanc Irish Green. The green just pops right off the page. Though it isn't my kind of green ink but green ink lovers do check it out.
Similar Inks:
- Chestfield Emerald
- Montblanc Irish Green

Field, David and Payne, Sheila and Relf, Marilyn and Reid, David (2007) An overview of adult bereavement support in the United Kingdom : issues for policy and practice. Social Science and Medicine, 64 (2). pp. 428-438. ISSN 0277-9536Full text not available from this repository.
This paper considers some issues in the provision of adult bereavement support in UK hospices. The paper is based on the findings of a multi-method study conducted in two phases over 30 months (2003–2005) to examine the nature and quality of adult bereavement support in UK hospices from the perspectives of bereaved people and professional and volunteer bereavement workers [Field, Reid, Payne, & Relf (2005). Adult Bereavement Support in Five Hospices in England. Sheffield, UK: Palliative and End-of-Life Care Research Group, University of Sheffield. (Available from Professor Payne)]. It discusses the importance of continuity between pre-bereavement and bereavement support, the integration of bereavement services within hospices and the involvement of volunteers in bereavement support. It then discusses the engagement of UK hospices in the broader development of bereavement support. Although hospices have developed expertise in supporting bereaved people, our research suggests that they have not had a major impact on other health service providers, such as general practitioners and distinct nurses and staff in acute hospital trusts, in this area.

Tips for traveling models!
Working as an international model is much easier said than done! You don't simply book your flights, take off and start going to castings! Nope. There is a long list of things to get done before booking your flights.
Here are a few steps you might not be aware of that need to be taken care of way before making any plans!
- Firstly, you'll need a Visa. THIS is the HARDEST PART as there are MANY types of Visa's with different application criteria's. Just learning about them all is time consuming & confusing.
- When you've found an appropriate Visa, your Mother Agency (in my case, my Australian agency) have to put the feelers out for you. This means contacting all of the potential agencies who might be willing to have you on their books.
- Once an agency agrees to take you on board, they then have to sponsor you & your Visa.
- This process can take a long time! To apply for a US Visa for example, you'll need at least 60 tear sheets (a tear sheet is something like a magazine shoot you've done in the past to prove you're a working/successful model)
- As well as the 60 tear sheets you need to create an extensive list of all of your past jobs & clients
- Once you've remembered them all, you have to contact a bunch of them & ask if they'd be willing to write you a formal letter of reference
This doesn't sound all that hard, but trust me… it can be taxing.
Once you've collected the requested information, you can submit your application to the US embassy (depending on where you are going of course).
Then you just wait patiently. Visa applications can take up to 6 months just to be processed by the people in the embassy offices. And the worst part is that there are no guarantees. Even after 6months, you still run the risk of having your application denied. Given that a US Visa application can cost around $3500, you'd be shattered if it didn't come through! Luckily my Visa was approved… which was amazing news to receive!!
So to LA baby I went!
LA is an awesome market for most models as there is a tonne of work here. Far more than in Australia given the size of their market is so much bigger! From editorial campaigns, to social media collaborations, catalogues & e-commerce… there is a wide variety of work. If you are willing to spend entire days shooting e-com inside studios, you can earn a heap of money! Even though I'm happy to do a little bit of everything, I like more of a challenge! I like to be outdoors and on my feet, so I prefer the creative/editorial stuff. But each to their own!
LA is a states FULL of creatives. Everyone you meet is an actor, model, director or has some other connection to the industry. It's quite interesting sitting & "people watching" here as there are so many individuals. You just never know who anyone is!! Someone who appears to be super casual with a skateboard under their arm in Venice Beach could turn out to be a big time director! THIS IS WHY YOU HAVE TO BE POLITE & NICE TO ABSOLUTLEY EVERYONE. One bad first impression, is already too many! Your reputation is your biggest asset, so keep it in check!
If you're looking to come over the LA, the agencies I'd recommend contacting are the following;
- Wilhelmina
- Next management
- Two
- LA Models
- Hollywood
When you start meeting agencies, be careful & have your guard up. It's very easy to get all excited but stay real. Agencies sometimes have a knack of telling you exactly what you want to hear. They're good at getting you on their side & signing off on their lengthy contracts. So be wary!
Always make sure you know exactly what you are signing. If there is a word, a phrase or a term that you don't understand, highlight it & email it through to your Mother Agency. Read every single world twice! Contracts are very hard to get out of once they're signed… so sit down & read it over breaky or dinner (away from the agency where you can think independently).
Make sure you're being truthful to yourself. Don't sign with an agency because they have big names on their books! Look for gaps… which agency doesn't yet have what YOU could offer them. And which booker or agent makes you feel comfortable. That's the biggest thing. Go with your gut & be careful.
My biggest piece of advice…
Remember that your agency or your manager works for you; you don't work for them. You need to be honest at all times & tell them what or what you expect. No one is a mind reader. Models work so hard to make money for their agencies, so it's vital that you are honest & clear with them from day one.
When it comes to accommodation, sometimes agencies have their own model apartments which you can rent cheaply. This is an easy option if you're desperate but be warned, it can be tough! Like most models, I've stayed in a tonne of model apartments over the years. It's all a part of the journey but now that I'm a little older, I prefer to spend a little extra money & get my own place.
The option is totally yours. With the model apartments, it's nice knowing that you don't have to go out & search for a place to stay in a foreign city. When you arrive they're all ready to go so you can get straight in and find tour bearings.
Just make sure to prepare yourself to share your personal space as it can get very cramped. I once had an apartment where I shared a room with four other girls & we slept in bunk beds. I'm no princess!! I definitely don't expect luxury all of the time … but personal space is something hard to share at times! BUT I don't want to scare you off… as if you're a bit younger the model apartments can be a bit of fun & they're a great way to meet people from all around the world.
When I'm here I like to stay around Beverly Hills or West Hollywood. It feels more homey to me. It's a bit more suburban, there's lots of local's cafés, amazing workout spots & health stores all in walking distance.
When I'm away I like to staying in areas where I can walk pretty much everywhere.
Getting around in LA… Everyone says you need a car in here! I guess it might be handy if you are staying long term but Uber is so dam cheap here!! It can be way less stressful just jumping in & out of Ubers when you are jumping from job, to casting, to event. Quick & simple! Plus you don't have to worry about directions or parking… bliss!
A few final little tips for traveling models! It's really important to keep busy when you're away from home. I travel alone heaps of the time so I make it my goal to workout every single day. I eat healthy, I make sure to plan lots of sight seeing adventures & I try to say yes as much as possible when people invite me to social events. It's so much fun making new friends in new cities. For networking reasons & just simply because having friends all over the world is amazing!
Finally, doing lots of test shoots is super important no matter how big or small you are in the modeling industry.
All models always need fresh images. Be proactive with this! Don't wait for things to happen, MAKE things happen! Before I travel to a new city, I do a lot of research around which photographers I'd like to work with (social media can be so good for this!). Then I touch base with them & see who's interested to shoot with me when I arrive. It all adds value & nothing is waste of time! When you shoot you'll meet people, you'll stay busy & you will have fun! Plus, coming home with a full portfolio of new shots is a great feeling!
So safe & happy travels to all the models who want to travel! Make sure to comment below if you have questions. Be smart & work hard. It's not always a walk in the park but the feeling of independence is worth it! Make sure to make the most of it & create lots of lasting memories!

Over the weekend I had the chance to stop by my local library again to check out the quilting section; I was in the mood for a special treat, and I was not disappointed! I found a couple of books that are geared at donation or quick gift quilts--they're both great resources if you find yourself running out of ideas or getting tired of doing the same three stand-by designs all the time.
Debbie Mumm's I Care with Quilts: Sewing to Make a Difference, (2009, Debbie Mumm), is not only filled with patterns, but it has information about organizations to which you can donate, ideas for small gifts, and inspirational quotations. It really would make a very good resource. Her designs are classic Debbie Mumm--sort of a modern country. The book is nicely laid out and is pretty simply to look at. Although the designs are all fairly simple, some of them looked like they wouldn't be easily defined as "quick." Several you could probably knock out in a few hours; others seemed like they'd take more time. But still, I did enjoy looking through this book and got a few more ideas planted in my head for future donation quilt projects.
24-Hour Quilts by Rita Weiss (2006, ), is a little bit more "classic donation quilt project"-friendly, I think, only because most of those projects really are pretty fast and simple. Weiss' premise is that you can make an attractive quilt in under 24 hours--and she's counting that as working time, not 24-hours-in-which-you-also-eat-and-sleep time. As she says, 24 hours doesn't need to be all in one stretch; it could be one hour for 24 days, eight hours for three days, or whatever. And I found it a nice feature that she actually lists the estimated time for each pattern. I don't recall that any of them were listed as 24-hour quilts: The average is probably around eight hours or so--some a little less, some a little more. I saw several designs I liked; found myself double-checking the library due date to see if I felt like I could pull out a couple of quilt tops before I had to return the book. I wasn't as keen on the organization of the book, though. For whatever reason, the publishers decided to put a gallery of all the quilts in the book right at the front, with all the actual patterns in the back. I found myself doing some flipping back and forth. I don't think that would be an issue if you were working on one of the designs because everything you need for the making is right in the pattern itself. But other than that, everything seemed very well laid out and clear--I don't think there would be any problem following the patterns, although, to quote Fats Waller (I think), "One never knows, do one?" I can't judge how well a pattern is written until I actually try to work with it, but it seemed to make sense, anyway.
Do you have favorite books for donation quilts or fast gifts? Let everyone know!

Climate Change: What's happening now, What's going to happen, and What we need to do
Following the historic March for Science, the People's Climate March took to the streets in locations all over the US on Saturday, April 29. We hear from Astrid Caldas, a climate scientist with the Climate & Energy program at the Union of Concerned Scientists. She'll be talking abut the impacts that climate change is already having, the impacts that are coming soon, and what people need to do for humanity and the planet.
The dehumanization, attacks and repression against immigrants
Rita Dentino, Executive Director, Casa Freehold of National Day Laborer Organizing Network joins us to talk about the Nazi atmosphere and repression against undocumented immigrants. The Trump/Pence regime is ratcheting up terror, detention, and deportation directed at 11 million people within the borders of the U.S., and is creating a climate of demonization and marginalization for all immigrants, and for Muslims in general.
Bob Avakian, "Why Do People Come Here From All Over The World? "
We'll hear "Why do people come here from all over the world?" by Bob Avakian, Chairman of the Revolutionary Communist Party. Bob Avakian lays bare the reasons people come to the US from all over the world, the nature of the system that drives them here, and what happens to them once they get here,
This is an excerpt from "Revolution, Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible and What It's all About," the film of a talk given in 2003. For more excerpts, go to the Revolution Talk Youtube Channel.

Casa Mia has been reduced, it is now $229,000, down from $248,000. It is a brand new house and construction has been completted. The house is Casa Mia, on Calle Caladaritas MZA. 14, Lote 22, right behind Padrinos.
Casa Mia was built by Miguel Angel Garcia, originally from Vera Cruz, and now splits his time between Canada and Mahahual. He is both a Mexican and Canadian citizen. He has a landscaping business in Vancouver, British Columbia, and spends the summers there, and build houses here in Mahahual in the winter.
He first visited Mahahual ten years ago, and liked it so much, he decided to come back. He loves the beaches here, the quiet tranquil lifestyle, the safety and the fact that Mahahual is so close to Chetumal. He decided to work in the summer in Canada, and build houses here in the winter. This is his first house he has built-in Mahahual, and it came out nice.
This spacious house has three bedrooms, and a caretakers apartment. It also has three and a half bathrooms, a swimming pool, garden, garage, all modern appliances, landscaped yard and pool area, and many more options. The kitchen has granite counter tops, and the bathrooms all have mosaic tiles.
The house is three stories, and a palapa can be added on the roof. There is a great view of the ocean, the water park, and the port from the roof. It is one of only a handful of houses in Mahahual that are three stories.
The house has open living spaces, and has ceiling fans throughout the house. Air Conditioning has not been added yet, but the house has all connections for it. All the wood in the villa is local wood, Caoba, from nearby Nobech. There are screens also throughout the house, and hurricane proof windows.
The lot is gated and walled, and has that hacienda or villa feel. There is hot water, sewage, track lighting, and cable and internet is available. The is also a laundry room, big closets with lots of storage space, and a garage to park a car. The dwelling is in a safe and secure neighborhood, with several expats on the same street. The house has all the permits, and is ready for someone to move in.
The house is a short walk to the water park and port, and is about a five to ten minute walk to the beach, and all the bars and restaurants.
This place would make a great bed and breakfast, and or, a great investment and rental property. Something comparable in Playa del Carmen or Tulum five minutes from the beach would cost you around $750,000 usd. This house is now listed at $229,000, and is a great bargain, and will do nothing but increase in the next several years with all of Mahahual's growth.
Here are some photos I took this morning with my trusty 3gs Iphone, so keep that in mind.
This villa would make a great bed and breakfast, and there is a big need for that in Mahahual now. It is also a great investment and is one on the nicer homes in Mahahual. It is what we call here "Gringo Ready", and will not last long. If you are interested in more information about this property, get in touch with me, or hit the link on the Costa Maya Real Estate on this blog.
Casa Mia: $219,000 usd with possible financing.
Thanks for reading,

SA3 Magic Lashes
Duration to effect9.5/10
Skin compatibility8.0/10
Easy to use9.0/10
- very inexpensive in purchasing
- cheaper than many other eyelashes
- rare side effects
- minimum result after 14 days
- maximum result after 6 weeks
- In rare cases irritations of the skin parts occurred.
The natural ingredients and the low price of SA3 Magic Lashes achieve outstanding results.
The SA3 Lashes eyelash serum scores well in several respects because it is not only its efficacy that can be seen but also its natural ingredients and very favorable price have convinced all women so far. The satisfaction was already clear after a few weeks when the first results could be recognized. Also, the SA3 Magic Lashes eyelash serum can be used without mascara or other types of ink. They only ensure that the hairs break off and grow extremely thinly. Thus, a thick and long open eyesight is only a dream. The SA3 Magic Lashes eyelash serum is a natural way to conjure up an eyelash that kills everyone. The special natural ingredients are responsible for this.
The combination of natural ingredients
The special natural ingredients are only used to produce SA3 Magic Lashes Eyelash Serum. The effectiveness of the individual ingredients is carefully tested to ensure that no harmful side effects can occur.
The main active ingredient in the SA3 is panthenol. Panthenol is also commonly known as vitamin B5. Vitamin B5 gives the hairs much moisture. The daily stress of everyday life, cosmetics, and UV rays cause the hairs to lose moisture. Vitamin B5 replenishes the moisture reserves. The hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans are responsible for additional vitality. Moisture and softness are brought to the hairs by Prodew300. The active ingredient biotin, also known as vitamin B7, is responsible for a good portion of strengthening. Biotin also prevents hair loss. This results in much longer growth phases. Hyaluronic acid is the last natural ingredient in SA3 Magic Lashes serum. It ensures a healthy and supple appearance of the hairs.
The price performance of the SA3 Magic Lashes Eyelash Serum
Compared to many other eyelash sera, the purchase price of around 35.00 € to 45.00 € for the SA3 Magic Lashes eyelash serum is very reasonable. With a content of 4ml, the woman can get by for at least six months, at most around 8 months. With an exact conversion, monthly costs of less than 5.00 € are incurred. For this price, the SA3 Magic Lashes eyelash serum offers an excellent result.
Pros and cons of the SA3 Magic Lashes Eyelash Serum
very inexpensive in purchasing
Less expensive than many other eyelashes
rarely occurring side effects
the minimum result after 14 days
the maximum result after 6 weeks
In rare cases, irritations of the skin parts occurred.

I spent hours trying to get make to work on Cygwin. This list is the sequence of steps that finally solved my problems. Hopefully it might help someone else going through a similar thing. -- Chris LoSacco
Setup.exe. The key is that apparently this one doesn't play nice on Windows. Luckily, there's another one, available from MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows). Download mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe and run it. This is a Windows installer that will cleanly install mingw32-make for you (with prompts and all).
cygwin.bat. You need to get Cygwin to recognize your environment variables. The
cygwin.bat file is located in the main Cygwin directory (mine is
C:\cygwin) and is where these variables should be. My default batch file was:
This doesn't have any env variables set. So open up your favorite text editor and we'll add the important ones.

You will need to verify that these are the proper path settings for your system as well. The app name

MIDEAST STOCKS-Qatar outperforms in soft Gulf markets
By Tom Arnold
DUBAI, March 20 (Reuters) - Qatar's stocks outperformed in generally weak Gulf markets on Tuesday as investors awaited a U.S. interest rate hike expected at the Federal Reserve policy meeting on Wednesday.
In Qatar, the index rose 1.0 percent to its highest level in just over three weeks. The Al Rayan Qatar exchange-traded fund will list on Wednesday, giving the market a second locally listed ETF as part of efforts to improve liquidity and attract more investment.
Drilling rig provider Gulf International Services was the top gainer, rising 9.8 percent in unusually heavy trade, while Qatari Investors Group climbed 4.1 percent.
Qatar National Bank, which had attracted buying in recent days due to its move to boost foreign ownership limit, was sold off on Tuesday. It closed 0.4 percent lower.
The region's biggest market, Saudi Arabia, was up 0.2 percent with financial stocks among the largest gainers ahead of an expected decision by FTSE at the end of this month to include Riyadh in its secondary emerging market index.
Al Rajhi Bank, the kingdom's second largest bank by assets, rose 1.7 percent, while Saudi British Bank was up 2.3 percent.
"It's been a waiting game until March 28 when a decision by FTSE is expected," said Khaled Feda, senior research manager at Alistithmar Capital. "The banking sector is outperforming the Saudi market year-to-date. We expect nine out of the 12 listed banks to be included in the index."
Kingdom Holding barely moved, edging up just 0.2 percent after chairman Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, in an interview with Bloomberg after his release from detention in the country's crackdown on corruption, said he had signed a secret agreement with authorities and declined to give any details.
He also said Kingdom was looking at splitting its $13 billion of assets by spinning off some domestic property and other holdings.
The Abu Dhabi index was down 0.4 percent with First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB) unchanged. On Monday FAB, the United Arab Emirates' biggest lender, denied a claim by Qatari authorities that it had tried to manipulate the Qatari riyal.
Aldar Properties was down 2.7 percent. In an announcement after the market close, Dubai's ruler said Aldar and Emaar Properties, the top Dubai-based developer, were partnering to launch local and international projects worth 30 billion dirhams ($8.2 billion).
The Dubai index was flat as banks dropped but healthcare and industrial firms edged higher. Emaar Properties rose 1.0 percent.
* The index rose 0.2 percent to 7,725 points.
* The index lost 0.02 percent to 3,183 points.
* The index fell 0.4 percent to 4,525 points.
* The index rose 1.0 percent to 8,978 points.
* The index dipped 0.3 percent to 17,114 points.
* The index edged down 0.6 to 6,706 points.
* The index went down 0.5 percent to 1,341 points.
* The index edged down 1.05 percent to 4,782 points. (Editing by Andrew Torchia and David Evans)

Maybe you are graduating from college but feeling a little uncertain about the future? Some of your friends may be headed to graduate or medical school and others may be starting jobs with pharmaceutical or biotech companies. It may seem that everyone else has a career plan, but you are not alone, and you have plenty of time to explore career options to put your science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) degree to use. Actually, taking a little time off to get some real world experience and help define your career goals can be more beneficial in the long run than jumping into grad school or a job that puts you on the wrong path… So, here's your post-graduation homework: ten career development activities that will help you find a STEM career path that's just right for you.
1. Postbachelor/postbaccalaureate positions – consider a postgraduate research position or internship to test out different career fields, expand your skill sets and enhance your resume. Here is a short list of programs offering positions to recent college graduates (performing an internet search for "postbaccalaureate research programs" will yield even more results):
Oak Ridge Institute of Science Education
National Institutes of Health (NIH) Postbac IRTA program
NIH Postbaccalaureate Research Education Program (PREP)
Pathways Program at USAJobs.gov
2. Certificate programs – some STEM careers (e.g., medical technology) require an additional degree program beyond the bachelor's degree, so read up on education qualifications for any career paths of interest.
3. Professional science master's programs – check out these graduate degree programs that teach students business skills along with advanced science courses to prepare students for careers in science management areas. There are also degree programs specific to entering engineering management.
4. Online professional communities – join an online community for career prep information, posting your resume and viewing job postings. Most professional societies maintain a career portal accessible from their main web page (e.g., MySciNet from Science Careers).
5. LinkedIn.com – create a free profile and start building a professional network, join professional and science groups and search job postings. (See "How to Build a Professional Network, Part III: LinkedIn" for more information.)
6. Career counseling center – check out your school's career center and make an appointment with a career counselor to discuss career options in your field.
7. Career fairs – ask your local career center about ongoing career fairs and look up resources for resume and interview preparation from online career centers (e.g., University of California-San Francisco and NIH).
8. Faculty mentor – make an appointment to speak with a close faculty member that can point out your positive skills sets and offer career advice.
9. Informational interviews – conduct short interviews with professionals working in careers that interest you to learn more about entering that career path. (See "How to Build a Professional Network, Part II: Informational Interviews" for tips.)
10. Job search engines – make a list of job search engines and check the sites on a regular basis or set up alerts for keywords. Even if you are not looking for a job right now, you can gain a lot of information about jobs open in your field and see what qualifications are needed to land that dream job. I like to keep a text file of website addresses to periodically check out jobs in my field. Here's a few STEM-specific job sites to add to your list:

A litter of puppies abandoned by their owner are proving true to the old saying that love, especially motherly love, is blind.
Otherwise, how could one explain the adorable photos showing the Dachshund mix puppies being mothered by a prickly capybara known as Cheesecake?
The photos were posted to Facebook by Rocky Ridge Refuge, the Arkansas-based animal rescue group that took in the litter of eight puppies after they were left in a Tupperware container outside a church March 6.
Four of the puppies were quickly picked up for adoption while the remaining four stayed at the refuge under the care of Janice Wolf, the refuge's founder.
Just a few days after they arrived, March 9, Wolf left the resident capybara in her menagerie in charge of the pups.
"Saturday was warm and sunny here, so I put Cheesecake in charge of the Doxie pups for the day," she wrote on Facebook.
Capybaras, according to Arkive.org, are the largest rodents in the world and can sometimes weigh as much as an adult human, a far cry from the tiny Dachshund pups. Nonetheless, the pups can be seen in the photos nuzzling and snuggling with Cheesecake as if she were their mother.

Since prevocalic /r/ misproductions are often characterized by gliding or
w/r substitution that is an issue that should cease at around age five.
Many times it remains an issue beyond the preschool years. I have seen many SLP's administer intervention for prevocalic /r/ by instructing students produce an er in front of the prevocalic /r/ sound as in the words red, becomes errrr red. Unfortunately, this becomes habitual for students and does not sound natural in conversational speech. The students are continuing to round their lips as they did in the w/r/ substitution.
What I have recently found to be more effective in my interventions with younger and older students is auditory discrimination of w/r words. I produce two words, one with /w/ and the other with / /r/ as in wed vs. red. I hold my mouth behind a piece of paper and ask the student to listen carefully to see if I have students raise their hand every time they hear an /r/ sound and keep the hand down if I say a word that begins with /w/. Oftentimes, students cannot hear the difference and so this is an important foundation for beginning to hear and correct error patterns. The exercise is fun for students, yet effective at the same time.
I often times have parents do the auditory bombardment exercise at home for homework using the Entire World of R Activity Books

Happy solstice to all of you lovely denizens of internetland! It is four days until Christmas and also much warmer out than it was for the entire two weeks before the official onset of Winter. I would say Young Man Winter is in charge this year, seeing how impatient he is to set the weather upon us. Just my thoughts. Four days before Christmas and just officially finished the true brunt of my gift shopping, and it's like there is a hole in my wallet. But I can't complain, money is dead stuff, whereas the recipients of the gifts that this dead stuff purchased, are warm, living and breathing beings. It is true that money can't buy you love, but if you aren't a miser with your money, you can illuminate more people's lives. I know I don't have much a lot of the time, but I'm still inclined to get someone the better quality gifts, exploring more than just the big box stores, or the generic "hot items," that everyone always seems to be after. I'm sorry but I don't think it's very thoughtful of you to get my a tv just because it's $500 less than usual. It just doesn't set me on fire. A lot of these more expensive items are not the sorts of things I ask people to give me. Sure, at this point in my life, a little bit of the surprise is vacant, since I tend to ask for things I need as well as things I want. But no matter what I get, the joy is still there, and also the sense of wonder that so many people seem to lose as they grow older. So money indeed can't buy you love, but you can buy things for those you love, to bring them wonder and merriment. There was nothing better to me growing up than to try to figure out what items from your list, or not from your list that Santa, or anyone else got for you. Wrapping paper can transform the most mundane gifts into something absolutely awe-inspiring and incredible. So keep it merry and bright by just having fun, and appreciating everything you are given, because it isn't the money that counts, it isn't the money that tugs the heartstrings and brings on the hugs and kisses and thank you notes, it's the pure fact that somebody wanted to buy you a gift that makes it special.

Happy Solstice one and all! (I know it's a day late but I did at least write it yesterday)December 22, 2013
It was offensive, but it also made no sense…December 22, 2013
I had a peculiar experience the other day at work. Well it wasn't all too peculiar in the fact that I have heard all manner of words and phrases and slurs and adamant belief in foolish stereotypes bandied here and there around the store, from customers and associates alike. This occurrence was peculiar in that the customer for some reason was trying to explain what he was talking about, when I knew full well what he was saying, and apparently my look of disgust wasn't enough to give him a hint to cease and desist. But anyways, this one customer had some sort of squash or the like in his items. He grabbed one that lacked a sticker so as is common in this case I asked him, "So, what's the price of this?" He responded by not saying the typical "I don't really know," or the estimations that some customers give in this scenario. He responded by saying, "How should I know? What do I look like? A woman?" (Insert fake laugh from me here) I really have no idea what this statement is supposed to imply, other than that men are too stupid to check prices. But it remained that he meant it in an offensive and derogatory manner, regardless of what he was implying. But obviously I can't call people on things like this, even though it seems fully acceptable to do so, because I need this job right now. And it would have been a closed case at this point if the talk didn't continue. A man behind him in line, a public servant no less(for shame), decided to turn this man's comment into a conversation¸ and muttered a bunch of unintelligible stuff to me about how men know what they are doing when they go shopping and blah blah blah, and that women are impossible to go anywhere with because they pay attention to the prices and such. So like I said, I have no idea what point he was trying to make, but he made it. Since when is checking prices a negative trait? It's impossible to get any shopping these days without budget yourself at least a little bit. Also case in point, don't say idiotically offensive things to someone that is unable to tell you to shut the hell up!
AmnesiacDecember 13, 2013
Easily one of the strangest Radiohead albums, the majorly electronic follow up to KID A, really shows Radiohead as an even bigger musical pioneer as it delved more into the digital age coming about in the early 2000's. The world was exploding in all directions, everything getting faster, more user friendly, the early stages of the social networks, and a world drowing in post 9/11 hysteria. This album is not what I would have called user friendly when I first heard it, but then again, this is coming from the guy who's first Radiohead album was KID A, and if my early teenage mind could process that, Amnesiac was truly a step into something more resembling normalcy. It's definitely not as free form and confusing as "King of Limbs" and certainly not as focused as "In Rainbows," and not as weird as KID A, but definitely one of the most memorable albums in my life, as well as the most listened to. There are just so many lush soundscapes, mixing a seamless blend of jazz rhythms, ambient noises and haunting vocals. All in all it is a masterpiece if I've ever heard one.
In the storm of ideas..December 13, 2013
Four years ago I started this blog, four years ago, the end of college, and the possibilities of the world at large sparked a frenzy in me, and a desire to spread my voice, and the light which I try to bring with it through the world. The power to change, to create my own path, to struggle against adversity, and always root for the underdog, a passion brought about by my birth in a pre-Winter blizzard, reflecting upon my dual nature, my fire and ice. That's what it means to be the snowchild. Four years ago this week, I turned 23, four years ago this week, one of the most important people in my life embarked on his next journey, into that which Hamlet describes as "that undiscovered country." My grandfather had a profound influence on my life and my discovery of self. The self I found was like him yet wholly unlike him. He understood me better than any other, whether or not he always saw eye to eye on things that I did, or thoughts that I thought, but he knew me plain. The way very few others have known me. My promise to myself in the post-collegiate world, was the same promise I made to me. I would live fuller, feel greater, and fight for my place in the world that would truly make me feel truly myself. I have not given up on this dream and what's more, I will truly make it my cause this time around, to really turn things to the way I want them to be within a matter of the next few months. This journey began here, and returning to this spot as it does once a year, it will set out from the initial point of origin once more. I can only wonder what surprises are in store upon this road, diversions, new interests, distractions, all contribute equally to the experience of life, so embrace it all.
The Drive HomeDecember 6, 2013
Driving home last night was like existing in a place outside of time. The fog had closed in on all sides, and you could see only the tiniest hint of the road ahead. Think of a rough draft of the world, think of the primordial goop that there must have been before the creation of the universe. In the few places where the fog had begun to lift, it was like watching the world be born, things coming in and out of focus the start of something new and curious and exciting. I couldn't help imagining the fog releasing its stranglehold on the world around me, breaking free, my eyes lighting on something I had never seen before, because it would all be new. Besides a hell of a frustrating ride home, it become something so much more. I think it is up to us to have these kinds of moments to truly get a better perspective on life and the world around us.
My Thoughts on The Black Heart BurlesqueDecember 1, 2013
Last Thursday, I went to a very amazing show up in Burlington at Higher Ground: Suicide Girls' Black Heart Burlesque. It was my first time in the venue, and it is a great open space, which I would liken to Pearl Street in Northampton but a bit nicer looking. In the decade plus since the alt modeling site's debut, Suicide Girls have done their best to spread their mission of redefining beauty and empowering women from all over the world to be happy with who they are, as well as the fair share of causing great excitement among the masses! They all seem so chill and open-minded and ooze confidence from their toes, and each girl adds their own unique touch to it all. Struggling in a quest for self? Check SG out and feel empowered and enlightened.
Me and one of my best took the long foray to the further reaches of Vermont, with people acquired along the way who I did not know previously. So that in and of itself was a great and interesting adventure. And much more fun to take long trips with a group. When the doors were opened, we got the customary pat down and dispensing of wrist bands. Of course our first course of action was to take to the bar and get some beer! Live events and beer have been going steady since the dawn of time. I think? Ask wikipedia if you don't believe me.
From the moment those girls hit the stage, there was never a dull moment. The choreography was perfect, the costumes and outfits, (or lack thereof) was great, and Katherine Suicide was such a perfect and lovely emcee, with her cheeky British wit and her command of the crowd. Sure I'm a bit biased because one of Katherine's dances was Doctor Who inspired, but she was great indeed. Other highlights were a Game of Thrones themed dance with this awesome dragon hats, and some chains and not much else, a Kill Bill inspired dance with Beatrix Kiddo's amazing outfit, and of course near the end of the night, the Sexy stormtroopers. It is hard for me to put much of the night into words, to someone who hasn't seen it, but one can try can't they? And after a sort of downer of a week, this show really brought my spirits up, with the help of one of my besties, the Suicide Girls and a couple really fascinating new friends I made in the crowd. My only regret was leaving Burlington, but I left with my comfy SG hoodie, and a compliment from Lolana Suicide. She said i looked cute in it. So who am I to argue?
Get out there and explore the world, cool events are everywhere if you know where to look, chances are I'll be there. 😉 Thank you SG for a great time!
Breaking BadDecember 1, 2013
I finally got a netflix streaming account to work no problem on my crummy internet, so I have started watching shows that other people are talking about and making me curious. Breaking Bad is the start of this amazing adventure into shows I have yet to watch. It's sometimes difficult to see my way past the hype and truly enjoy something as it is, especially when taking into consideration how obsessed people seem to be with their programming. But upon the first viewing I couldn't help but need to see the next episode right away. The subject matter itself interests me enough to make me watch, but I was so unprepared for all the emotions and such welling from my being as I continue to watch the show. Walter White is an amazing dynamic character, who we can't help but like from the start, and it shakes you to the core, to witness him descend slowly but surely into the Heisenberg persona. And from here it's just one thing after another, so it really allows us to see ourselves differently, when we can see a normal man under extenuating circumstances, losing himself and becoming something wholly unlike the Chemistry teacher we meet in the first episode. But even with monstrous things piling up on his soul and whatnot, we still see the humanity inside, and his journey into darkness becomes our own, and we begin to question our own thoughts and feelings, and we can never quite demonize him for this. In so many other things, we start with the disconnect, which causes us to loathe these people, and root for the "heroes" but when we present the character pre-transformation, we never forget that other person, and that makes for really intense, emotional, and powerful television! watch this show, it will change everything. And I'm still only on Season 2!
The View From The Parking LotDecember 1, 2013
By breezing through all their Black Friday deals on Thanksgiving day, it seemed going into work on Friday, that Walmart had become an active participant in the Black Friday boycotts. Some really insane deals lay untouched upon the shelves, which only made me wonder, couldn't we sell these items at this price all the time and still have everyone cutting a profit? There were no lines on any of the registers, and the parking lot was devoid of all life except for the seagulls, the only beings to benefit from the disturbing waste culture of the American Dream. The sharp talons of these birds are pointing all too clearly at the true detriment of extreme consumerism. Bless their little hearts!

Some of the possible reasons are as follows:
- Check the payment method selected, it should be U on the FI (use FBV3 to check).
- If payment method "Other" is not selected in the Travel Portal, the TPA will not be able to add in the UNDP vendor.
- Check the vendor text field in the FI document to ensure the UNDP Donor code is there.
- The funds center of the funds commitment may not be mapped to a UNDP donor code (this can be checked using ZAP_DONORMAP, this T-code is mapped to finance roles). If the funds center is not mapped an ineed ticket needs to be raised assigned to Umoja Tier 2b-Financial Accounting in UNHQ.
- There is a payment block on the AP document.

Halloween always seems to sneak up quickly and without a lot of planning, a fun and memorable costume can be a challenge. But with some cardboard, glue, spray paint and random other household items you can come up with some fun and creative costumes that are easy to put together last minute.
- A Lego block:All you need is a cardboard box, solo cups, glue and some paint and before you know it you're a lego. Easy peasy.
- Bundle of Grapes:For this you'll need purple or green balloons, a coordinating shirt, black pants and safety pins! Inflate the baloons, and pin them to your shirt, wrap some fake ivy around a headband and voilà! You're a bunch of grapes! And if you have a group together you might look like the Fruit of the Loom fruits!
- Glowing Jelly Fish:Get an umbrella (clear for the best effect) and glue or tape ribbon and streamers and/or bubble wrap all around. And for an extra fun glow, get some glow sticks or even battery-powered Christmas lights.
- Hoodie Animal:Have an old solid color hoodie lying around? Get some felt and fabric glue and you could have yourself a quick, easy and best of all cozy animal costume in no time!
- The Cabbage Pack Kid:This is fun if you've got a little one! All you need is a cardboard box, paint,a crochet hat and yarn, a cute little baby outfit, and a stroller with a baby! Such an original idea!
- Wall-E the Robot:A fun option for adults or children and all you need is a cardboard box, poster board, CDs and paint! Original fun and easy!
- 50 Shades of Gray:For Couples out there this is a unique spin on the popular book. It's literally 50 shades of gray, using paint swatches from your local hardware or paint store! Throw on a nice gray outfit and then add in your 50 shades of gray with paint swatches in a tie, and skirt and other accessories.
- The Solo Cup Lobster:This is the most elaborate and maybe not as "quick" as the others, but definitely a show pleaser! You'll need lots of red, Solo plates and cups, a red hat, red duct tape, some string and felt and styrofoam balls for the eyes!
Whatever your Halloween plans may be, from costume parties and contests to trick or treating, we hope you have a fun and safe holiday!

Pop quiz: What fast food chain was the FIRST to
Develop the Flame-Broiled Burger? (NOT Burger King)
Create the Value Combo of soda, fries and a burger? (not McDonald's)
Create the Self-Serve Works Bar? (not Fuddruckers)
Create the "Funmeal"? (not McDonald's version called the Happy Meal)
The answer to all 4 trick questions, is Burger Chef! If you're under 40 (and aren't a fan of Mad Men), you've probably never even heard of the restaurant chain, considered to be one of the most innovative competitors that challenged McDonald's back in the 1960's.
While designing a custom broiler the founders, Dave and Frank Thomas, decided they'd compete with Burger King directly instead of supplying them. The brothers began franchising locations in 1954. In 1968 General Foods acquired BC & it had 600 locations in 39 states. At its peak, there were 1,200 locations 2nd only to McDonald's!
With the financial resources of General Foods and cutting-edge innovation, by 1973 Burger Chef seemed poised to take-over McDonald's foothold in the industry. Instead, it went downhill with General Foods selling the business to the owners of Hardee's in 1982, taking a $75 million write-off. By 1996, Burger Chef was gone.
What happened? Troy Smith recounts the whole story, from beginning to end in episode 2 of his Restaurant Rewind series -
The Delicious Rise, & Sad Demise Of Burger Chef

text: For the Summer of 2010 the community is welcome to join me, Sharon Kallis, in workshops to create woven sculptures for the CRAB Park marsh pond located in CRAB park, Vancouver. Forms made will serve as perches, protection and nesting locations for park birds and participants can learn about the plants and wildlife of CRAB Park while helping to make this small ecosystem more livable for birds in the DTES. Begun on Earth Day, April 22 with 3 woven orbs made from locally harvested Red Osier Dogwood. Workshops will continue both in the park and at various DTES community locations: basic weaving techniques will be taught using natural materials harvested from the park. The materials used include invasive Flag Iris, growing in the pond and native Red Osier Dogwood, a fast growing bush that requires ongoing trimming. Together sculptural processes with the materials will be explored leading to the the final installations in the marsh and park. It is my hope as well, that the community and I can work together to weave a garden-bed protective edging for the woman's memorial located in the park. Click on the pages above to see more of this project and for workshop and event information. A big thanks to project partners and funders: Community Arts Council of Vancouver and Neighbourhood Matching fund

My name is Timothy J. Hammons, and this is my photography blog. I may, on occasion, post more than my pictures, but for now, I'm enjoying sharing photos I've taken over the years.
The LORD blessed me with a wonderful wife, Heidi Ann, in March of 2015. We have two sons and two daughters that we spend as much time with as we can… and … two precious grandchildren.
For the moment, we live in Frisco, TX, but that could change by the LORD's hand at any moment.
Please note that all photos are copyrighted Timothy J. Hammons 2019.
