GOVERNOR TOMBLIN HIGHLIGHTS PROGRESS MADE TOWARD BUILDING UP WEST VIRGINIA'S WORKFORCE
Governor has personally convened Workforce Planning Council since 2013
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Jan. 3, 2017) - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin today convened the West Virginia Workforce Planning Council for its monthly meeting, highlighting the state's recent progress in meeting the workforce demands of businesses and industries.
As part of his comprehensive work to raise student achievement, Gov. Tomblin re-established and re-constituted the Workforce Planning Council in 2013 to coordinate initiatives, leverage resources and plan for the delivery of a comprehensive workforce strategy to ensure an integrated and strategic approach for aligning classroom learning with workplace needs. Gov. Tomblin has personally chaired the Council since that time.
"We have taken a holistic approach to ensuring West Virginia's workforce is prepared and ready to meet the demands of our businesses and industries," Gov. Tomblin said. "By bringing our top state officials across a variety of sectors to the same table every month for the past few years, we have been able to break down barriers and create new opportunities for West Virginians to get the education and training they need to succeed."
Notable achievements of the Council include:
Implementation of policies and initiatives, including Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) reform, WV Works, justice reinvestment, felon surety bond and juvenile justice and the Governor's STEM Initiative;
Launch of education and workforce programs, including My State. My Life., Learn and Earn, Career Pathways, Simulated Workplace, Governor's School for Entrepreneurship, the Minority Business Expo, Dual Credit and Statewide College Credit Transfer; and,
Establishment of retraining efforts and funding , including the Southern West Virginia Workforce Initiative, Veterans Training Programs, WV Bridging the Gap Consortium, Sector Strategies Job Training Website and Let's Train WV.
"Going through Simulated Workplace has taught me so much and given me much more insight into a career than a typical classroom setting," said Rachael Peele, a Simulated Workplace student at Fayette Institute of Technology. "Simulated Workplace turns okay students into great students, and great students into leaders."
Members of the West Virginia Workforce Planning Council include Dr. Sarah Tucker, Chancellor of the Community and Technical College System; Dr. Paul Hill, Chancellor of the Higher Education Policy Commission; Keith Burdette, Secretary of the Department of Commerce; Dr. Michael Martirano, Superintendent of the West Virginia Department of Education; and, Russ Fry, Executive Director of Workforce West Virginia.

Ok, the tournament is not the same for me this year. The demise of the Big East - the one that I knew and loved for over 25 years - has broken my basketball heart. No disrespect to the current Big East teams, but the Beast of the East and I arrived in Syracuse about the same time, and we kinda grew into adulthood together, raised our kids together, and many of us are retiring together. Still, I'm kind of surprised by my reaction to their absence. I thought I'd still care about the teams, but it really just isn't the same now that they've scattered to the conference winds. And, yes, I know, it's pretty ridiculous to mourn a sports league given the number of truly serious situations around the world these days. I'm not even a diehard sports fan, just kind of an ordinary one, but I feel their loss. And no, I cannot really support Syracuse as an ACC team.
But - and there is almost always a but with me - there is a positive side. In the past, my March loyalties have always been divided - much to the chagrin of daughters and colleagues (Big East) and siblings, cousins, and dad (Big Ten). This year, all my eggs are in the Michigan State basket,* As my alma mater, I've always supported them, but there was also a strong counter pull from my workplace of twenty years. Until now, when I am posting this 4-leaf clover for Sparty. Good Luck and play well, guys!
*Full disclosure: This is for the men's tournament. You can't live in Connecticut for a decade and not become a UConn Women's fan. Yeah, I know, the rest of you hate them - kinda like I hate the baseball Yankees - if you even know what women's basketball is. But that's a blurb for another posting.
This is the bus that took mom and I to Boston. And this is the same exact bus that took us home to Miami! To weird. No joke!! Proof in my little journal, lol!! But this was the company's newest bus. Very smooth, roomy and comfortable! Also for the life of me, I can't remember what part of Florida this was. All I know is it was somewhere past Palm Beach County.
The Class 221 are similar to the Class 220 Voyager units, but were built with a tilting mechanism enabling up to six degrees of tilt to allow higher speeds on curved tracks, most have five coaches, and they have a different bogie design. They have a maximum speed of 125 mph (200 km/h), as do the class 220.
This set mixes it up a bit with both a pretty blonde and brunette goddess! You can see them both modeling the Gold 45 Revolver swimsuits as well as a 45SURFER camera bracket mount for shooting stills & video at the same time.
Here's some epic video of the beautiful goddesses:

All the Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

Special guest degli Helloween e dei Rage, il 31 gennaio all'Alcatraz di Milano, i Crimes Of Passion.
With an epic sense construct of melody, dynamics and power, C.O.P UK (Crimes of Passion) will hit your ears on October 23rd with “Kiss Of An Angel”, a 4-track/2 video EP that refuses to leave your memory.
Produced by Sascha Paeth the Sheffield, England-forged quartet make their intentions clear from the first shimmering guitar of “My Blood”, it’s crisp, melodic metal sound placing C.O.P. UK in the same arena as Saxon, Megadeth and classic White Lion. “Kiss Of An Angel” showcases a soaring sense of balladic warmth which cascades into a slice of classic AOR rock radio, Saxon’s Biff Byford makes a guest appearance on the catchy yet thrash-riffy “Blackened Heart”, while “Blown Away” is a stadium rock classic in the making.
Dale Radcliffe (vocals), Charles Staton (guitar), Andrew Mewse (guitar), Henning Wanner (keys), Scott Jordan (bass) and Kevin Tonge (drums) grew up with the sounds of hometown heroes Def Leppard ringing in their ears, and fusing such influence with an insatiable appetite for performing, C.O.P. UK came together in 2005 and quickly established the type of schedule reserved for the elite. Honing their craft on club stages all over Europe, the band recorded their debut album, To Die For, in 2011 at Blind Guardian’s Twilight Hall Studios, Orion Studios in the UK before being completed at Helloween’s Tenerife studio.
It was during this spell that C.O.P.UK garnered major interest from some of modern metal’s founding fathers. Saxon’s Biff Byford personally invited them to tour Europe in May/June of 2011, touring with them again later that year, as well as appearing at metal festivals throughout the continent. 2012 saw C.O.P. UK’s ascent continue, with recognition from Metal Hammer magazine and further prestigious festival appearances such as the world famous Wacken Open Air and Bloodstock in the UK.

"The Scottsdale Community College Volleyball team's season came to an end today as they lost in the Region Championship match to Glendale Community College 3-2.
The Fighting Artichokes did everything they could today as they faced long odds of beating top ranked Glendale Community College twice in the same day in back to back matches. In match #1 of the day, the Artichokes beat the Gauchos in five sets 29-27, 25-22, 20-25, 20-25, and 15-9. The Artichokes had about 45 minutes to rest and recover from the emotional roller coaster of staying alive in the Regional tournament. In the Championship match it went back and forth the entire match, with GCC taking set one by a score of 25-21. SCC came back quickly as they took set two by the score of 25-22. In set three the defending national champions flexed their muscles and took the set 25-15. Coach Regina Mannix got her team back in the match as they seized the momentum and won set four by a score of 25-17. In the fifth and final set the set was 8-7 in favor of the Gauchos at the side change. The scoring went back and forth from that point on, but SCC just could not get over the deficit and eventually fell 15-12. The Fighting Artichokes were eliminated from the playoffs and Glendale will get the chance to defend their title on the national stage. Congratulations to all the coaches, players, and members of the program for such a tremendous season and representing SCC the right way with tenacity and grace. GO CHOKES!!!"
New build A1 pacific Tornado, a personal favorite of mine, had the honour of hauling the first train of the Legends of Steam III gala. Hauling a Mixed 1960’s goods train with Queen Mary and Toad Brake Vans, 60163 impressed onlookers at Burrs Country Park with its three-note chime and Pop Whistle. Having missed out the previous year, Tornado graced the ELRs rails for the first time in Brunswick Green and sported (again for the first time since the 1960s,) all black smokebox and front end details. Safe to say, it was a star runner at this years Legends of Steam event.
The 2013 Classic Snow White Doll is photographed new in her unopened box.
The 2013 Classic Snow White doll has many differences from the 2012 model, many of which are improvements in my view. The biggest changes are to her hairdo, her skirt and her legs, and the addition of a cape. There were also minor changes to her bow, collar, shoes and painted on underwear. Her head, face, arms and upper torso have remained the same. I like this doll much better than last year, and she represents the movie character much more faithfully.
Her face has remained the same, but I think she is beautiful, lively and very movie accurate. She has a round face, big brown eyes glancing to her right. She has three short thick black lashes over each eye, and short thin black eyebrows. She has small button nose, small full dark pink lips in a sweet open mouthed smile. She has pale flesh colored skin, and her cheeks are lightly rouged.
Her hair is greatly improved over the 2012 doll, mostly due to the redesign of her side curls. She is jet black shoulder length hair, in a bobbed hairdo. The main curls on each side of her head are now much larger, and the upper curls now curve in the same direction (clockwise) as the main curls. The upper side curls are now sewn to her hair, keeping them in place, as was done in the Snow White dolls before 2012. Her hair looks very movie accurate, and is much neater than the old style. There is a bit of gel in the curls, both on the sides and in the back, but the hair is still fairly soft to the touch.
Her dress is yet another version of her iconic blue, yellow and red gown. And with the addition of a red satin cape, her outfit is much closer to the movie character than any Disney Store Classic Snow White doll in recent years. Her bodice is the same as last year. It is dark blue satin covered in blue glitter, with puffy short blue satin sleeves. On her sleeves are oval bright red appliques. Her high white satin collar is rounded looks much better and movie accurate than last year's square cornered collar. Her newly added red satin cape is half-length (about four inches long), and is unfortunately sewn to the back of her dress. It is shorter than the movie cape, but matches the doll's shorter skirt. Her yellow satin skirt has changed a bit from last year. It is a couple of inches shorter, less full, and stiffer with the addition of a golden glitter floral pattern. It's color is more golden than last year. The width of last year's skirt was wasted as there was no petticoat underneath to keep it full. This year's skirt keeps its shape much better due to its stiffness. The glitter does tend to shed, finding its way in the dolls body, legs, face and hair, as well as your hands and the general neigborhood of the doll.
Her shoes are pale yellow flats that are shorter and slighter darker in color than last year's. Their soles are also rounded upwards at the toes, similar to the flats that the Mulan doll always wears. This design looks better on a doll with angled feet, than would the 2012 style flats, which had very flat soles. The red satin ribbon in her hair is thinner than last year's, with a much smaller bow. Last year's ribbon and bow were much prettier, but her bow was placed halfway down the right side of her head. Now the bow is in the center, at the top of her head, where it belongs.
Her body is fully articulated in the arms, but now has the rubber legs of 2011 and earlier dolls, which has internal knee joints and fixed angled feet. I would rather that they fixed the problems with the fully articulated 2012 legs, but when exposed the rubber legs do look a lot better, with the disadvantage of being much less posable. Also the glitter tends to stick to the rubber legs, and it cannot simply be brushed off. Although both dolls are wearing flats, the 2013 doll is about 1/4 inch taller since she has angled feet, wearas the 2012 doll has flat feet.
The packaging for the dolls is much improved. The box art has been completely redesigned, with beautiful decorations unique to each Princess (actually for each movie), and a cameo of the animated movie character. Also the way the dolls are packaged is much simplified, making it much easier and quicker to remove them from the box. Greatly reduced or eliminated are the tiny plastic T-bar fasteners, which secured the outfits to the backing and left little holes and sometimes runs in the fabric. There are still large T-bar fasteners tacking the back of the doll's head to the backing. Also the dolls with free flowing hair no longer have them flattened and sectioned into two parts, making it hard to even out the back of their hair after deboxing. Instead, their hair is gathered up and placed to one side of the doll, and secured by thread. It looks good as is in the box. Or if the doll is deboxed, it is easy to shake out the hair and even it out using just your fingers.
The 2013 Disney Princess Classic Doll Collection, released on June 10, 2013. They consist of 11-12'' articulated dolls of the 11 official Disney Princesses, from Snow White to Merida, as well as Princes, Villains and Sidekicks. I now have all 11 Princesses, Queen Elinor, Charlotte and Gaston. I will photograph them boxed, during deboxing and fully deboxed. I will also post reviews and comparative photos.

Same truck, different manufacturers. The Ford Aeromax on the left came first; then in 1997, Ford sold its heavy-duty truck line to Freightliner, which re-badged and marketed the trucks as Sterling, the truck on the right.
Same place as previous photo with a bit of morning mist being burned off with the sun. Feels ethereal!
