KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jordan Farr of Corban (Ore.) has been named the NAIA Men's Soccer National Defensive Player of the Week and Alan Harwell of Auburn Montgomery (Ala.) has been selected as the NAIA Men's Soccer National Offensive Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Farr and Harwell were chosen for their performances during the week of Oct. 28 – Nov. 3 and were selected out of a pool of conference, independent, and unaffiliated grouping award winners.
Farr, a freshman goaltender from Turner, Ore., recorded shutouts against College of Idaho, 2-0, and Oregon Tech, 1-0, helping Corban improve to 13-1-2 on the season. On the year, Farr has allowed just seven goals—five of which came against conference foe Concordia (Ore.) on Oct. 23. The freshman, who is also tied for second nationally in goals against average (.49), is just the second player in CCC history to register 10-or-more shutouts in a single season. With this week's selection, Farr becomes the first player to earn multiple Player of the Week awards in 2013 (Oct. 1, Nov. 5). Will Monsour of Belhaven (Miss.) was the last men's soccer athlete to earn multiple weekly honors, doing so in 2012. The Warriors (10-1-2) will play for the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) regular-season title on Saturday, when they take on Northwest (Wash.) (11-2-0). In the teams' previous meeting on Sept. 25, Corban won 1-0 as Farr recorded one of his NAIA-leading 10 shutouts.
Harwell, a sophomore forward from Montgomery, Ala., had a hand in six of Auburn Montgomery's eight goals on the week. With the Southern States Athletic Conference (SSAC) regular-season title—and an automatic bid to the NAIA National Championship tournament—on the line, Harwell recorded a goal and two assists in the WarHawks 4-3 win over then-No. 8 William Carey (Miss.) and added two goals and an assist in the team's 4-2 victory over then-No. 17 Belhaven (Miss.). On the season, Harwell leads the WarHawks in goals (12) and points (31), while ranking second in assists (7). He's also among the NAIA leaders in total points (39th, 31), total goals (45th, 12) and total game winning goals (50th, 3). With two victories on the week, Auburn Montgomery clinched the SSAC regular-season title, the top seed in the conference tournament and an automatic berth to the NAIA National Championship tournament.

The folks at Chillingo were showing off Icycle 2 at GDC 2013, and it broke my brain just a little. The game mechanics themselves are very simple; the controls are ultimately the most basic ones you could have for a platformer game. The real trip is in the art style and storyline.
Players control the chilly and lovelorn Dennis, who, for whatever reason, is chasing the woman of his dreams naked on a bicycle. Eventually, her head turns into that of a fish, but I'm not quite sure why. My demo of the game ended with Dennis mere millimeters away from smooching this aquatic goddess. Players are ranked out of three stars for each of the positively surreal levels based on how many little icicle pellets they pick up along their twisted route. Over time, players can unlock new and ridicuclous outfits to make sure Dennis doesn't have to do all of his chasing in the nude.
Those of you that have played Wonderputt will be familiar with the level of graphical polish and left-field thinking that the developer, Damp Gnat, is capable of. I'll go so far as to say that Icycle 2 is the most interesting and refreshing mobile game that I've seen between GDC and PAX East. The Chillingo folks are being coy about a release date, opting for a "it'll be ready when it's ready" approach, but expect it to cost about a buck in the App Store.

Aaron Cruden had a mixed night with his boot, but managed to slot 13 points for the All Blacks as they held off a combative France side 23-13 in the first game of their three-Test series at Eden Park yesterday.
The All Blacks, who had not lost at the Auckland venue since France coach Phillipe Saint Andre sparked "the try from the end of the world" in 1994, scored two counter-attacking tries late in the first half that proved the difference.
Both sides wasted several golden opportunities to score, most notably France No. 8 Louis Picamoles, who dropped the ball with the line open following a devastating break from Florian Fritz.
"We have to be pretty happy with that. A tough, tough Test match. Certainly our accuracy can be better, but nothing was going to be perfect tonight," All Blacks captain Kieran Read said in a touchline interview.
France inside center Wesley Fofana opened the scoring after a break by Fritz when Sam Cane and Ma'a Nonu collided, and opened a gap for the Toulouse center to ghost through.
Scrumhalf Maxime Machenaud converted for a 7-0 lead before Cruden slotted his first penalty, after two earlier misses, in the 22nd minute.
The All Blacks then scored their first try when scrumhalf Aaron Smith finished off a searing break by winger Ben Smith to give the home side a 10-7 lead.
Machenaud slotted a penalty to make it 10-10 before Cane crossed for a 38th-minute try when the All Blacks forced a turnover.
Nonu cut back across the defensive line and fed Aaron Smith, who made the final pass to the lurking flanker.
Cruden's second conversion gave the All Blacks a 17-10 lead at the break.
France flyhalf Camille Lopez, who took over the goalkicking when Machenaud limped off early in the second half, slotted a penalty that rallied the visitors.
However, a number of penalties at the breakdown and scrum swung it back to the All Blacks, with Cruden pushing the lead out to seven points with his second penalty.
Picamoles then dropped the ball with the line open after another break from Fritz and neither side were able to capitalize as the match was played in the middle of the field before Cruden slotted his third penalty.
"We were close to the All Blacks, but we made too many mistakes, lost too many balls in the contact and they got a lot of opportunity due to our mistakes," France captain Thierry Dusautoir said.
"We didn't keep control of the ball and that is very important that when you have the opportunity to score against them, you do it," he added.
The second match of the series is in Christchurch on Saturday, with the final game in New Plymouth a week later.
Reuters, BRISBANE, Australia
The British and Irish Lions passed the first genuine test of their Australia tour by grinding down a spirited Queensland Reds 22-12 in a rainy tour match yesterday.
Scrumhalf Ben Youngs scored a first-half try and flyhalf Owen Farrell added 17 points in a perfect kicking night for the Lions, who had to weather a fierce second-half challenge in front of more than 50,000 fans at a heaving Lang Park.
Although shorn of seven capped Wallabies, the Reds led for much of the first half after a brilliant try by winger Luke Morahan and pulled within seven points when scrumhalf Nick Frisby touched down in the 64th minute.
However, the Lions held on to record their third win from three tour matches, after easy victories over the Barbarians in Hong Kong and the Western Force in Perth.

Katie Marie Pierce (Ladewig) passed away at Mercy Medical Center in Redding as a result of her injuries she sustained on Oct. 17, 2012.
Katie Marie Pierce (Ladewig) passed away at Mercy Medical Center in Redding as a result of her injuries she sustained on Oct. 17, 2012. Though Katie's life ended in tragedy, her spirit will live on through others as she graciously donated her organs to those in need.
Katie was born on Sept. 5, 1982 to Vernon and Goldie Pierce in Yreka. She grew up as the older sister to Karlie Jean and became a middle child, later in life when her older brother Albert joined their family.
Katie attended Montague Elementary and then Yreka High School graduating with the class of 2000. Throughout the years, she was involved in many different activities including volleyball, basketball, softball and girl scouts.
Katie married Lukes Ladewig on June 23, 2012. From this relationship, she was blessed with three beautiful little boys Lucian "Louie," Liam and Landis. They were the true love of her life. She enjoyed being a mom to the fullest extent, always wearing that big smile when she spoke of them, and she was so proud to be called "mom." Besides caring for her boys, she loved to can, garden and cook, all of which her three little ones reaped the full benefit of!
Katie had a fun, soft personality with the most contagious giggle. She had a way about her when she greeted anyone who came to visit, meeting them outside, so excited they came to see her. She was an amazing cook and is known for her cheesecake and baking ability. If Katie had one downfall, it was her tender heart for rescuing animals and caring for strays. She brought home anything from kittens, birds, frogs, pigs, you name it, and she brought them all home, a trait Katie came by naturally. Most of all, Katie loved spending time with her family. Many summer days were spent at the lake, teaching her brother how to fish, swimming with her sister, or just simply enjoying the outdoors.
Katie was preceded in death by her grandparents, Ralph Opdyke and Cecil and Dora May Pierce.
She is survived by her three sons, Louie, Liam and Landis; her parents Goldie and Vernon Pierce; her brother Albert Trujillo; her sister Karlie Pierce; niece and nephew Jasmine and Cross; grandparents Marlin and Darlene Johnson; great-grandma Goldie Opdyke; uncle and aunt Brad and Jina Johnson; uncles Jack and David Pierce; as well as many cousins, friends and extended family.
Katie's passing was sudden, but her selfless protection of her children will forever be remembered.
A celebration of life will be held at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 26, 2012 at the Grenada Berean Church.
Donations can be made on her behalf to Siskiyou Domestic Violence & Crisis Center, P.O. Box 688, Yreka, CA 96097; or to the benefit account for her sons, located at the Siskiyou Central Credit Union, P.O. Box 1125, Yreka, CA 96097. (Please make checks payable to Louie, Liam or Landis.)
Girdner Funeral Chapel is assisting Katie's family and you can view the online version of her obituary or send condolences to her family at www.girdnerfuneralchapel.com.

Haunted Collector
Posted 12 September 2012 - 08:49 AM
Posted 13 September 2012 - 08:52 AM
Anyway, so when I take attachment into consideration, it's always as a theory and never as fact. We just don't know factually why any of this happens, it just does. So I'm guessing that most of what Saffis has is not haunted but just assumed to be so for whatever reason. I would like to have most of his stuff just because it's old, cool, and collectible. And being that he is a collector, I am sometimes surprised that he doesn't know what a particular item is, such as with a very recent show where they found a blood-letting blade from the Civil War and he didn't know what it was (or so he claimed). He's not so much the collector as the title implies, but then again one can't know everything.
Posted 17 September 2012 - 03:28 PM
I would like to see this show and others like it go away. I have noticed he does not ask to take the offending object any more, he asks the client what they would like to do with it., a bit more P.C., but most likely coached. Everyone wants to be on TV !
Unfortunately, the public sees this junk as the answer to their problems and become victims of unscrupulous groups. It pays to "Investigate The Investigator !!!
Trust No One.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 09:05 AM
As far as those types of shows going away, as long as there is an audience, I guess they will continue to be pumped out. I don't necessarily want them to go away, but I would like to see them appear less scripted and not so gimmicky. HC does seem coached/rehearsed, so it doesn't necessarily have a 'real" feel, if any of these shows can.
You are definitely correct about investigate the investigator. There is another member on here who has exposed scam investigators before. The example he posted was really interesting, AND he figured out the source of the "haunting". The group was going to charge the client several hundred dollars to do the investigating and cleansing.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 11:12 AM
However, now that I think about it....it does concern me, lol. If he DOES spiritually cleanse the items, or something similar...then why is that never offered as an option to the owners? Or is it? I've only watched a handful of these shows, and since I do have respect for Zaffis' work, I didn't want to jade my view of him by the presentation of the show, I just stopped watching, lol.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 12:12 PM
Good point in the latter part of the second paragraph. It's either "keep it" or "take it away", never a cleansing option of the item. Hmm. Hell, I would want to keep whatever was found regardless, so cleanse the mo-fo, or leave it as it is.
I have seen him put salt around a found object being put on display in a couple of episodes. Since I'm not really into the cleansing part of paranormal phenomena, I'm not qualified to really comment but from only a personal point of view.
Posted 18 September 2012 - 09:12 PM
Salt has a longstanding tradition of purification, protection and blessing in many traditions. The power of salt is said to come from both its origins, the sea, and that it is a mineral and of the earth. The sea, or really water in general, is seen as a purifier, and earth is seen as a grounding and stabilizing element.

Long before the likes of Google and Facebook moved in, the ROLM Corporation was one of the most enviable places to work in Silicon Valley. Boasting a campus furnished with a swimming pool, open space park areas and a recreation center, the company rewarded its employees not only financially but with incentives that today have become staples of the region's high-tech culture.
In her new book, Starting Up Silicon Valley: How ROLM Became a Cultural Icon and Fortune 500 Company, Katherine Maxfield recounts the history of ROLM from start-up to buyout.
Maxfield spoke about the company's past and unique culture before a crowd of about three dozen at the Montalvo Arts Center on June 17. Afterward, members of the audience said they found her stories engaging and enlightening.
Till Guldimann, a Saratoga resident and former vice chairman of SunGard Data Systems, said Maxfield's talk made him realize just how far back the history of Silicon Valley really goes.
"I thought it was wonderful–refreshing insights from an ex-marketing professional," said Guldimann, holding a copy of Maxfield's book. "Even if it didn't work out in the end, it's a great story."
Fellow Saratogan Micki Anderson, a retired speech therapist whose husband once worked for ROLM, commended Maxfield's writing style, saying that she manages to deftly explain the technical elements, such as those pertaining to financial data and corporate strategy, while also telling a story that is compelling.
"I think Kathie's very eloquent," Anderson said. "It's a very readable book."
Maxfield herself has lived in Saratoga for 25 years with her husband, Robert Maxfield, one of ROLM's four founders. She worked for technology companies for 25 years, including five years for ROLM. She said the company provided significant financial rewards for smart, successful work.
"It was a fabulous place to be if you were willing to do that," Maxfield said.
Credited with being one of the first companies that broke from the staid corporate mold to become a company that was very different from the rest of corporate America, "ROLM originally made the world's toughest computer for use in air, ground and sea military applications," Maxfield wrote in an email.
The Santa Clara-based company later branched off into energy management and the telecom industry, becoming a Fortune 500 company with worldwide offices, having developed technological innovations that revolutionized both military computers and telecommunications. In 1984, ROLM was acquired by IBM.
Maxfield's talk focused on not only what it was like to work for ROLM, but the story behind the IBM merger and the tricks played by competitor AT&T. A story Maxfield relayed about the mother of a Columbia University student leaving her son a voice message that circulated throughout the school in what she claims was the first message that went viral drew much laughter from the audience.
The biggest challenge Maxfield said she faced in the process of writing the book was getting opinions from 60 different people "of how something went down, and sometimes consensus could not be gathered." Judging by the positive reaction from her audience, Maxfield appears to have met that challenge head-on.

My intent, of course, was to capture the motion using a timed exposure, but you never quite know what you've got until you get a chance to do some editing later, especially when using film.
What an awesome photo! I LOVE the motion you captured here.
Thanks, Patricia! I thought it captured the park's essence as well!
Beautiful, festive photograph. Captures the excitement of an amusement park.

Bill Buchanan needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 216 designs submitted by 84 freelance designers.
We are small transport company based in Sydney Australia but deliver Australia wide. We deal with the largest forms of trucks and trailers that are avialabe to use. What makes us unique in the transport buisness is that we specialise in the transport of large construction, mining & civil works equipment. Our speciality is cranes, mainly the type you see putting up skyrise buildings but we do anything from large steel structures to Holding tanks and pretty much anything that can't go on a normal delivery truck. Our loads are either extremely long or extremely wide or even extremely high or all of the previous. We sometimes have to operate in the early hours of the morning involving police escorts and road closures. We are very good at what we do as we have been around for 30 years and never had to advertise, we don't even have a web site. We are just looking for an indentity that we can use to market ourselves.
Our target audience would be mainly construction and mining companies but our audience would also include manufacturing companes, steel fabrication companies and the general public as the logo would appear on the side of our trucks. We have never had a corporate identity but we are looking to be recognised when people see our equipment and see what loads we are carrying as they often stand out.
We would like to incorporate our entire name in the logo but not neccessary. We would like the logo to be stylish and professional and also relate back to what we do somehow. As we have never had a logo we are up for any suggestions. Just do what you do best and be creative. This logo will be our corporate indentity and will be used for web pages, buisness cards, uniforms and all other places in relation to the idnetity of our buisness.

This video exposes the link between belief in evolution, racialism, and nazism. It is a must-watch:
We do not fight people, we are fighting with a spirit. That spirit is Mammon which dominates and controls the whole world through the Anglo-American Democratic Capitalist System. It manifests in Humanism and Liberalism, through Democracy, and Capitalism, the Four Evils who enslave the whole of mankind. Many Christians who should understand the spirit of Mammon, do not. We expose and fight the spirit of Mammon, and the four evils of Humanism, Liberalism, Democracy and Capitalism.

Idzia Pienknawiesz
Born: 1920
Kaluszyn, Poland
Idzia was the older of two girls born to Jewish parents who lived 35 miles east of Warsaw in the small predominantly Jewish town of Kaluszyn. Idzia's father owned a liquor store and her mother was a housewife. Idzia was close friends with a group of Jewish teenagers who went to the same public school and spent much of their free time and vacations together.
1933-39: Normally, I go out with my friends on pleasant summer evenings. We like to stroll down the main street together and visit the sweets shop. Sometimes we go to the school building, which is open at night for recreational activities, and play dominoes or checkers. But now, everyone is afraid that war will break out and is staying at home. Every day there's more news about border skirmishes between Polish and German forces.
1940-42: The Germans have occupied Kaluszyn. Acting under German orders, the town mayor has chosen a Jewish council which includes my father and my friend Majlich's father. They, in turn, chose Majlich, me, and some other young adults to work on the Jewish sanitation committee. One of my jobs is to take women to the one remaining Jewish bathing facility in town so that they can wash themselves. We've already seen several cases of lice-borne typhus, and we're trying to limit the spread of the deadly disease.
In September 1942 Idzia's parents and some 3,000 other Jews were deported to a killing center. That December, 22-year-old Idzia was also deported to the same camp, where she perished.

News from the Centre for Gippsland Studies
A most excellent Disaster Management workshop was held today at the Centre for Gippsland Studies, at what is about to become Federation University. Shown above are Bruce McMaster (Morwell Hist Soc), Graham Goulding (Moe Hist Soc and secretary of Gippsland Affiliated Historical Societies), Dr Harry Ballis (rear, incoming head of FedUni Gippsland), Dr Julie Fenley (Centre for Gippsland Studies), Russell Northe MP and Duncan Rolley from Artifact Conservation.
Dr Ballis was there to outline plans for an expansion of the Centre for Gippsland Studies - which sound very promising and exciting. A draft document is currently being prepared, which will be released for public comment in the near future. This will then provide us with the opportunity to point out just how important the future of the Centre is to us.
The day was otherwise a mix of theory and hands-on from Duncan and Tina Rolley of Artifact Conservation - in this case, above, Tina is demonstrating the removal of staples from old documents, before sewing them in an approved manner with approved (and easily obtainable) materials
Above - Tina demonstrating recovery of wet photographs.
People attended from as far apart as Walhalla, Drouin, Stratford and Leongatha - with a fair few in between. It was a most enjoyable day - many, many thanks to Dr Julie Fenley from the Centre for Gippsland Studies for her commitment to regional history and collections.

Pa. Baseball Coach Accused Of Punching Ejected Son
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – A Pennsylvania youth baseball coach is facing a simple assault charge for allegedly punching his 9-yearold son in the face after the boy was ejected from a game.
Police charged Ray Boudreau of suburban Harrisburg after he allegedly struck his son twice with a closed fist at Monday's game.
Defense lawyer Brian Perry says Boudreau handled the situation poorly but struck the boy on the back. Boudreau has a hearing scheduled for July 27.
Court papers say the umpire and scorekeeper called police, who arrested Boudreau at his Enola home. An officer says he observed redness on the boy's face.
Perry says Boudreau spent Monday night in jail. He says the boy was ejected for throwing his helmet after being thrown out at third base.

Ethan Wate, 17, has had the same recurring dream for months. A mysterious young girl is waiting for him on a Civil War battlefield. Ethan desperately wants to be with her, but there is an unknown danger—and each time a lightning bolt cracks like a gunshot, killing Ethan before he ever reaches the girl.
The danger of this strange dream world, however, is preferable to Ethan's waking existence in Gatlin, South Carolina, a small, conservative Southern town that hasn't caught up to the 21st century, where nothing ever changes and nothing ever happens. Trapped at home with a father who has completely withdrawn since the sudden death of Ethan's mother, Ethan yearns for a life he can only read about in books.
But Ethan's mundane world is shaken up with the arrival of Lena Duchannes, the beautiful and enigmatic niece of Macon Ravenwood, the reclusive owner of gothic Ravenwood Manor. Ethan finds himself immediately drawn to Lena, even though destruction seems to inexplicably follow her and it becomes apparent that she is a Caster, with powers beyond her control. The town, led by conservative Mrs. Lincoln, wants her banished. Even Gatlin's all-knowing librarian, Amma, is afraid history may repeat itself—a history of family secrets and a curse that looms for Lena as she approaches her 16th birthday. It is that time when a Caster is chosen by the forces of either the Light or the Dark.
But Lena's fate may already be sealed by the curse that draws both her and Ethan into a tangled web of spells and peril from which there may be no escape.

Off Justice's 2007 debut †, DVNO is terrific dance of a tune. There's really not much to say about it other than it's a catchy, upbeat dance/disco/electro-house(?) joint with a fantastic bass-line. It came up on my shuffle and I had to pass along the love. Just listen to it. And then listen to it again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
It's also worth noting, as you may have noticed by now, the official music video is positively mesmerizing. If movie opening sequences were that enthralling, I'd be going to the theater way more often. [Amazon, iTunes, Spotify]

Shadow Forest
Current Season
Winter has taken hold of the forest, meaning an end to the falling leaves of autumn. The temperature is starting to hit freezing points and in some areas its even colder; prey are storing up on food and taking shelter. Heavy rain and snow are possible and can happen with little warning. Will the frost of winter cause lives to be lost, or will the packs make it through the tough winter?

If you are in search of a dog to join your family as a member, then you will find that there are many different dog breeds available to choose from. This being the case, it is very difficult to find out the right type of dog that would suit your lifestyle, and the best thing that can be done is to go through various avenues that are open to you and find the right dog for yourself. But what happens if the dog you want to adopt is a cute and adorable Springer Spaniel puppy that you were mesmerized by the other day?
It's simple really. If you haven't already bonded with the Springer Spaniel puppy, then you will first want to do a few background checks. And if you don't know the breeder very well (where you saw the Springer Spaniel puppy from to begin with), or you saw the puppy in a pet store, then you will most definitely want to do a little searching as to the validity and the reputation of the breeder or the pet store.
First of all make sure that you are not getting a puppy from a puppy mill and move forward from there. Once all this is clear and decided you can some more searching and try to get more information about how to deal with a Springer Spaniel puppy.
Keeping up with this energetic and playful puppy is not anyone's ball, and in case you do not have the time or inclination to deal with a puppy that is sometimes willful, but mostly very playful then it is better for you that you keep your options open and look around for other dog breeds that you are interested in.
Another thing that you should know is that these dogs shed constantly, although not everything at once. It would be required by you that you groom their silky coats and brush them at least once daily. They are not suited to those people with dog hair allergies as they are constant shedders.
If you happen to get a Spaniel puppy you would know that they are very responsive and intelligent in nature. They are also very willing to learn new things and are easily trainable. They are basically good natured and are hence considered to be good around children.
However it is advised that if you plan on leaving your Springer Spaniel alone for a long time, you should take extra precautions, or try to leave it alone only for small durations of time. These dogs can be quite willful and you do not want to come back home and see your house trashed by your lonely Springer Puppy.
However all these things should not act as a deterrent and put you off from getting a Springer Spaniel puppy for yourself, as these are very cute and adorable dogs and are very loyal to their owners and have several other good characteristics. A Springer Spaniel is an asset to its owners.

Minnesota Monthly's Best Real Estate Professionals
The Best Real Estate Professionals in Minnesota list, compiled annually by Minnesota Monthly magazine, includes real estate, mortgage, and insurance professionals in the state who simplify the process of buying or selling a home, work hard to protect valued assets, and not only know and understand the market, but know and understand their clients.
In order to produce the lists of best residential real estate agents, best mortgage professionals, and best insurance agents in Minnesota, we reached out to over 15,000 homebuyers and subscribers and industry peers. Respondents were asked to nominate real estate, mortgage, and insurance professionals based on customer service, market knowledge, integrity, communication, negotiation, post-sale service, and overall satisfaction. The nominated professionals were screened against the licensing database at the Minnesota Department of Commerce to make certain that licenses were up-to-date and there had been no disciplinary action. Names are not added to or removed based on advertising history with the magazine.

U.S. Rep Jared Polis has weighed in on lawsuits filed by the Colorado Oil & Gas Association against Lafayette and Fort Collins that challenge drilling and fracking bans passed by voters last month, asking the trade association to "immediately withdraw your lawsuits."

"Please stop suing the communities I represent," the congressman wrote in a letter to Tisha Schuller, president of the association. "Local governments have authority to regulate oil and gas land use activities because oil and gas operations are matters of local concern that directly involve the use of land and are an important issue for residents and neighborhoods."
The letter was dated Dec. 4 and was announced in a release this morning.
The Colorado Oil & Gas Association sued the cities on Tuesday, claiming that the bans on oil and gas activity were illegal because municipalities don't have the authority to regulate the industry, which is under the auspices of the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission.
But Polis cited home-rule powers in his letter, saying towns and cities have "the right to determine how their own city or town will look and feel; the right to decide between an expanding extractive industry and the value of their homes; and the right to balance increased development with the health and quality of life of community residents.
"Like most Coloradans, I want your industry to thrive in our state and many of my constituents make their living by working hard to achieve energy independence," the congressman wrote. "But the future of oil and gas development is already being threatened and will most certainly be killed if local communities, the bedrock of Colorado, are not allowed to control their own fates."
Doug Flanders, director of policy and external affairs for the Colorado Oil & Gas Association, said his organization appreciates Polis' input.
"As a federal lawmaker representing communities with oil and gas development, his views are important," Flanders wrote in an email to the Camera. "It is very encouraging that we agree about wanting the oil and gas industry to thrive in Colorado."
Boulder and Broomfield voters also passed fracking bans last month but the Colorado Oil & Gas Association has not indicated whether it plans to sue those two cities as well. The association sued Longmont last year after voters there passed a fracking ban in November 2012. That case is still working its way through the courts.
Polis wrote to Schuller that he is willing to work with the industry to "find a solution that empowers our city councils and county commissioners with clear authority to determine what land use is most appropriate for their communities."

Brantley Gilbert and Jana Kramer Separate Business and Romance in Battle for ACM New Artist of the Year Award
It's official! The nominations for the 48th annual Academy of Country Music awards are in, and Brantley Gilbert and his new fiance Jana Kramer are going up against each another for the New Artist of the Year Award.
Gilbert just proposed to his country singer girlfriend in January, and the couple is already being put to the test by competing against one another for the coveted trophy. Break-out duo Florida Georgia Line has also been nominated for the New Artist of the Year honor.
This award is decided by the fans, who cast their ballots for New Male Artist, New Female Artist and New Vocal Duo or Group. Now, the three winners of those categories will battle to become the New Artist of the Year.
"I got asked, 'Who's going to bring home the next award?'" Gilbert told Country Weekly. "And I said, 'You know what, it's going to the same house, so it don't really matter.'"
The good news is, both Gilbert and Kramer seem to be excited for each. They aren't going to let an ACM competition get in the way of their happiness. Kramer mentioned that she is excited to be nominated for the award, and that no matter who gets the trophy, she and Gilbert will support each other.
"We're so different that it's not a competition, if that makes sense," she said. "If he were to win and I didn't, I support him 100 percent."
"I might be bitter for like a second," she added jokingly. "I might be like, 'Maybe you could take me out to dinner and surprise me or something.' Just kidding!"
Gilbert added that he's excited to walk the ACM red carpet with his future wife.
"It's always an honor to be nominated," he acknowledges. "[I'm] definitely looking forward to the show. You know I'm gonna have the hottest date in the house, so that's always a plus."
It sounds like these two love birds won't get rattled no matter how the New Artist of the Year award shakes out. They aren't the only country music couple who will be pitted against each other at the ACMs -- Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton are both nominated in the Entertainer of the Year category.
Tune in to the ACM awards when they air live on CBS from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday April 7, to see which country stars will go home with a new trophy in hand.

The Ohio Domestic Violence Network (ODVN) is a statewide coalition of domestic violence programs, supportive agencies and concerned individuals organizing to ensure the elimination of domestic violence. Since 1989, ODVN has been providing technical assistance, resources, information and training to all who address or are affected by domestic violence, and promoting social and systems change through public policy advocacy, public awareness and education initiatives.
The Batterers Intervention Committee (BIC), an existing committee of the ODVN, was first established in 1991. The BIC is mainly comprised of batterers intervention program (BIP) representatives, victim advocates, and legal system representatives, such as attorneys, probation and police officers. The members represent diverse regions of Ohio as well as diverse professional backgrounds. The BIC has always worked closely with victim advocates through ODVN's statewide network of domestic violence programs.
The BIC created the first Standards for Batterers Intervention in the early 1990s and published the revised version in 1998. Although adherence is voluntary in Ohio, the Standards continue to provide direction and support in program development for BIPs. The BIC also developed an addendum to the Standards, The Self-Evaluation Tool for Batterers Intervention Programs, in 2002, to assist BIPs and other community agencies assess and improve their local efforts. In 2009, the BIC started the process of the second revision of the Standards. It was timely to update the document as knowledge and information on batterers intervention has evolved.
The Standards are based on a feminist perspective which believes that domestic violence is gendered in nature: it is an instrument of oppression that arises from the patriarchal cultural and institutional beliefs that support men's power over women. It is important to note that the patriarchy does not only support sexism but also supports racism, heterosexism, classism, and other oppression that allows one group's dominance over another. In this revision, as we strive to create a document that addresses the growing diversity in Ohio with a feminist analysis in mind, we have added a section on working with marginalized communities, including women who use force (WWUF), immigrant/refugee, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Queer (LGBTQ) and other communities.
While the Standards go through revisions time to time, the main theme of the Standards must remain the same: BIPs need to work within the coordinated community effort in keeping victim safety first and holding batterers accountable.
To assist batterer intervention programs with the implementation of the Standards, this Guide provides a " how-to" approach. Each section contains questions to be answered by the batterer's program so they can see how they are doing according to the Standards. The document is in Microsoft Word format.

Over the years, ODVN has received numerous requests regarding risk assessment with DV offenders. Although we believe that there is no "low risk" in domestic violence, we also understand that those in legal system as well as batterers intervention programs and victim advocates often are faced with the challenge of assessing the level of risk for a variety of reasons. The Batterers Intervention Committee of ODVN has developed the Guideline for Domestic Violence Risk Assessment to share some tools widely used and are readily accessible. Please do remember that there is no one perfect tool to assess risk in domestic violence and that the victim/survivor's assessment of risk should be taken very seriously.

Years ago after moving into this home it seemed that the large stone terrace garden and other open spaces on the grounds were perfect for summer entertaining, sharing cocktails with friends and neighbors. One such year was a mojito inspired party, serving many guests, the night was a hit. I guess the chatter and excitement of the party with the unusually warm weather was the perfect combination to enjoy such a frosty and minty drink.
As the years went by, more and more parties were held, each with their own theme and plan. I was noticing a pattern, how the party flowed and what was necessary to keep the party going. Considering the details and flow of guests is crucial to the success of such an event. You will know how much to prepare, best times to hold outdoor soirées and so on.
Long before the party, planning was underway to determine the current year's theme and featured drink. Guests were always welcome to bring something, but it is not necessary. One of the greatest joys for your guests is to offer them your hospitality.
To this day, with gratitude, the annual summer parties are a memorable experience for the many guests who have attended and look forward to another great evening.
For now, the days are growing longer and temperatures are rising. Here is my classic mojito recipe and a watermelon version that has served my guest well, not to mention is an excellent thirst quencher after a long day of weeding in the garden, the perfect moment for a mojito, to refresh and relax.
Classic Mojito Recipe
2 ounces Flor de Caña silver rum
2 ounces fresh lime juice, strained
4 mint leaves
2 teaspoon sugar
2 ounces club soda
In a 10-ounce tumbler, muddle the mint leaves with the sugar until the sugar turns light green and only flecks of mint remain. This step releases the essence of the mint that will flavor and perfume the drink. Pour in the fresh lime juice, and rum. One of my top favorite rums to use for this drink is Flor de Caña silver rum.
Add in the ice, yes, lots of ice. Fill the glass all the way to the top and finish with club soda.
I find that beverages such as these are best made to order. Freshness is a great thing to savor.
Watermelon Mojito Recipe
2 ounces Flor de Caña silver rum
2 ounces fresh watermelon juice
1 ounce fresh lime juice, strained
4 mint leaves
1 ½ teaspoon sugar
1 ounce club soda
In a 10-ounce tumbler, muddle the mint leaves with the sugar until the sugar turns light green and only flecks of mint remain. Pour in the watermelon juice, fresh lime juice, and rum. Fill the glass all the way to the top with ice and finish with club soda.
*note: To make fresh watermelon juice, remove the rind of the watermelon and place flesh in a food processor, process until smooth. Strain through a medium size sieve and again through a fine mesh sieve. The color will depend on the variety of the fruit, so I suggest the small individual ones. They have deep red color and are sweeter in character. I shy away from using a blender as it is too hard for this purpose, much of the pulp becomes too fine and muddies the flavor.
If you are planning an evening to entertain friends, give these recipes a try. Or, use the classic mojito recipe as a starting point to create your own unique mojito. Don't stress the heat, have a mojito!

So what happens if you are aiming to optimise for the word accommodation, but 40% of those that search are searching for other words, that is other versions of your targeted word? This is an ever going proplem in a perfect world averybody would know how to spell in english and everybody would search in english and market them selfs in english but this is not the case so… remember the misspells!
3 thoughts on "Accommodation, acommodation and accommodation or acomocation or…"
Other well known misspells are Occasion – Occassion and'Confectionery would be Confectionary. Purchased has been known to turn into purchesed, Yahoo reports that 10% to 15% of search terms they receive are misspelled, take that in when you do your SEM. If 100,000 are searching for a laptop computer do we then have 10 to 15.000 searching from a Lapptop computer or a aptop computer or…?
But there is a dilemma here as Matt Cutts points out, of course all sites should be with a proper spelling, but when even Google cannot get it right how can they expect us, people like me that do not have English as our first language to get it 100%? See more about this at his Blog SEO Advice, http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-advice-spell-check-your-web-site/. So what is to be learned from this? People do not know hot to speall, spell, spel…..

Health Teaching Gems
In a recent shift, I met a young man who had a few questions about the transmission and pathology behind influenza. Since it was a quiet lull in my day, I relished the opportunity to flex my teaching muscles and started by asking him to describe what he knew so I could proceed from there. He knew that he should wash his hands and cover his mouth when sneezing or coughing but he did not know how that prevented flu's spread. The conversation eventually led to me explaining how the virus essentially hijacks cellular machinery to assemble millions of copies that burst out of the cell thereby destroying it. He became slightly confused and in order to clarify the concept, I asked him to imagine an overcrowded place in which people are pushing to get out. Lost deep in thought, he stared at the wall behind me before his eyes lit up and he triumphantly announced, "the virus bursts out of the cell like hookers from a cake!" Flabbergasted at such a crude, yet visually effective analogy, I had no choice but to enthusiastically agree!

Rihanna's Instagram Thank You Cards
This is one of the reasons why it would be awesome to be super famous like Rihanna. The Unapologetic singer shared several pictures of the dope swag she received from fashion designers for the holidays on her Instagram page. Notes thanking Rihanna for her continued support and wishing her all the best in 2013 accompanied a pair of red Manolo Blahnik heels (average price $695), a Marc Jacobs polo, Givenchy purse (about $2400) and other designer shoes. Any gal would be jealous.
Rihanna channeled the thank you e-card of the future by thanking the designers in the Instagram photo captions, using hashtags, at signs et al. While it's no handwritten note, as Emily Post's Etiquette book suggests goes out, it does get the thank you out quick and gives a little extra publicity to the designers gear as well. Check out the photos of the free swag below and drool.

There's something about a high-low skirt that feels very Gold Dust Woman to me. Or maybe a little goth. Or glam! Clearly, the high-low skirt can have many iterations and personalities. We've talked about how to style this trend before (see the video here) and I've also compiled a Pinterest board of high-low looks. Have you been wearing high-low skirts? What's your favorite way to wear them?

7 Manly Ways To Handle Going Bald
Hair is a powerful thing, a sign of true individualism in many cases. Hair is often one of the first things we notice about someone. But what happens when that confidence maker – that character-creator – decides to leave us? Well, some guys become absolute hermits, get embarrassed or feel sorry for themselves.
However, there are ways around the feeling of inadequacy that can result from going bald. Bald can be cool: Bruce Willis, Patrick Stewart, Ed Harris, Vin Diesel, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin all rock a serious bald head. You can still be a man if you are bald… as long as you steer clear of the comb-over. Here are seven manly ways to handle going bald:
Andrew H. Walker, Getty Images
Shave Your Head
Too often, guys go for the 'horseshoe' hairstyle. There are only a few dudes who can pull it off. Most of you reading this are not Larry David. Therefore the answer is no, you cannot do the horseshoe. Honestly, if you realize that you're going bald, do yourself a favor and shave your head! Not only will you save yourself some embarrassment, you'll also look quite badass. It worked for Walter White, didn't it?
Get A Convertible
Don't get a Mini Cooper convertible; get something nice and manly! You want the car to scream, 'I might not have hair, but I'll pay for your dinner!' Girls love a guy with a good car, so if you're going bald, you might as well spend a little extra cash on a nice convertible. Perhaps you can spend your monthly haircut budget on the car.
John Shearer, Getty Images
Wear A Hat
Wearing a hat is a classic solution. You can't go wrong with a nice hat. Baseball cap, flat cap, cowboy hat, knit cap – it's your decision! However, if you meet someone new, just make sure they know the truth. They need to know they're dating a bald-y. Nothing is worse than agreeing to a date and — when being picked up — seeing your reflection staring back at you through the front door peephole.
Grow A Beard
Beards make men look tougher. We're not exactly certain as to why, but when bald men have beards, we're deathly afraid of them. Remember when Jeff Bridges had a beard in 'Iron Man?' Exactly. Grow a beard, fellas.
Daivd Paul Morris, Getty Images
Get A Tattoo
Perhaps getting a tattoo on your head isn't the best choice, but it is a viable option. Getting a tattoo on your head – some dome ink – is manly. It creates a clean and clear statement: 'I am insane.' No one is going to screw with a guy who has a tattoo atop his head. So, if you're looking for a way to silence the critics, you've found your alternative.
Justin Sullivan, Getty Images
Get A Motorcycle
Getting a motorcycle accomplishes a few things: 1 – You'll be covered by the helmet (unless you're crazy enough to believe in the No Helmet Law). 2 – Guys on bikes can be badass. 3 – You'll get over the midlife crisis that you're either in, or are going to find yourself in someday. Motorcycles are risky, dangerous and sometimes even a turn-on for the opposite sex. So, if you're going bald, why not put your life at risk for the sake of looking cool, right?
Stuart Hannagan, Getty Images
Embrace Your Baldness
Embrace your baldness and be confident. Going bald is not the end of the world. So, you lose your hair. Who cares? Put some extra sunscreen on during a sunny day and use body wash instead of shampoo in the shower – big deal. You're still a man. You're now a member of the bald community; they welcome you!

Hillsborough Gardens in Hillsborough, NJ. This was taken on a beautiful day with my crumby camera phone. I used Adobe Photoshop to stitch together about 78 images to get this panorama, which came out better than I thought.
We can see the corner of Farm Road and Triangle road northerly to the left of the building (there are traffic lights). Of course we can't miss the power lines.
Beyond the playground is Robin Road.
The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, a long-time member of President Barack Obama's Cabinet and the first Latina to head a major federal agency, announced plans to resign on Wednesday.
Her departure comes as the White House faces questions about why the president so far has not nominated any women for the vacancies he has had to fill for his second-term Cabinet.
Continue Reading Below
A White House official said three Cabinet members plan to remain as Obama begins his second term. They are: Attorney General Eric Holder, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, and Veteran Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
Solis said in a statement she had submitted her resignation to Obama - not an unexpected development given that many Cabinet members grow fatigued by the long days in office and are eager to look at opportunities in the private sector after four years.
She grappled with trying to bolster the U.S. workforce at a time of fiscal crisis and recovery from recession. "There is still much to do, but we are well on the road to recovery, and middle-class Americans know the president is on their side," she said.
Obama, in a statement, called her a "tireless champion for working families."
"I wish her all the best in her future endeavors," he said.
So far, Obama has picked white males for the three biggest Cabinet positions - Senator John Kerry as secretary of state, former Senator Chuck Hagel as defense secretary and Jack Lew as treasury secretary.
This is leading to some questions as to whether Obama is losing diversity from his senior leadership team.
At his daily briefing, White House spokesman Jay Carney defended the president and urged critics to render a judgment after Obama has filled out his team.
"I think that the record speaks for itself," he said.

FirstNet - How Does it Affect Iowa Public Safety?
FirstNet will provide emergency responders with the first highspeed wireless broadband network dedicated to public safety. The FirstNet network will be a single, nationwide long term evolution (LTE) network that makes it easier for public safety users to communicate during emergencies and on the job every day. Think of the FirstNet network as a bigger, more reliable, secure and resilient wireless data network. This new network will provide faster access to information and wireless coverage where first responder personnel need it most.
FirstNet will provide missioncritical, highspeed data services to supplement the voice capabilities of today's land mobile radio (LMR) networks. Initially, the FirstNet network will be used for sending data, video, images and text. The FirstNet network will also carry location information and eventually support streaming video. In time, FirstNet plans to offer voice over LTE or (VoLTE).
Who Should Attend: Police, Sheriffs, DNR, Marshals, Homeland Security, EMA, Communications, Fire, EMS, Hazmat, Explosives, Search and Rescue, DOT – Highways, Airport, Railways, Waterways, Department of Health, CDC, Municipal Government, Utility, Public Works, County Government, County Attorney, Tribal Government, Utility Providers, Military, National Guard, Coast Guard, Federal Agencies
The Iowa Statewide Interoperable Communications System Board (ISICSB) in cooperation with local communities invites you to attend a Public Safety/First Responder town hall meeting about the future of broadband for first responders in Iowa.

Apparently creating a company called "Qwikster" wasn't the only bad idea Reed Hastings had: in an internal motivational video uncovered by FastCompany, you get a look at the CEO's idea of humor. Let's make fun of overworked, unconscious Chinese workers.
The video was produced in 2007, when Netflix was experimenting with a Roku-style hardware box. Part of the gag flick involves a trip to Foxconn's factory lines—one of the first times an outside firm was allowed inside with cameras running. You can clearly see Netflix execs demeaningly pretending to sleep on the job like Foxconn's notoriously depleted, over-exerted laborers. And although it's not uncommon in Chinese corporate culture to take a little power nap at work, this is pre-outrage Foxconn we're talking about—a place with brutally long days of monotonous assembly, before international controversy tilted the manufacturing giant toward reform. Their naps aren't exactly the leisure nap of a CEO with his feet on the desk, and having a guffaw at the expense of factory workers is never exactly classy. And that soundtrack sure isn't helping.
According to FastCo's Austin Carr, "The video was a huge hit at the company." [FastCompany]

Difference between revisions of "Sun Peaks"
Revision as of 19:05, 20 June 2008
Sun Peaks is a four season destination resort located in the interior of British Columbia, Canada near Kamloops. It has 3678 acres of ski runs and 2891 vertical feet downhill on three mountains, which all lead to the resort village. Sun Peaks is known worldwide to have the best grooming in Western Canada and the best weather for skiing in Canada (with an average of over 2000 hours of sunshine per year). There is something to do there year-round for just about anyone. In the winter, there is, of course, the world-class skiing, as well as numerous other winter sports. In the summer, the area is transformed into a hiker's and biker's paradise, with mountain trails for adventurers of all levels of experience. There is also an 18-hole golf course at the resort, as well as numerous events and festivals, for those who wish to have a more "relaxed" vacation time in the mountains of BC.
The Sun Peaks ski resort currently consists of 3 mountains of ski runs; Tod Mountain (the original ski run), Sundance and Mount Morrisey. Sun Peaks resort was founded by Harry Burfield, and The Burfield Lodge and first chair-lift at Sun Peaks opened to the public in 1961. At the time, it was simply known as Tod Mountain. The lodge was damaged by fire in 1968 and remained closed to the public while it was being rebuilt. It opened again in December of 1970. Mr. Burfield died in a plane crash in 1971 while touring the mountain on which he founded the resort. The Shuswap Double Chair Lift was constructed in 1972, and the Crystal Triple Chair Lift was installed in 1979. A year later, in 1980, the Shuswap Day Lodge was built. In 1988, a 49 lot subdivision across from the Burfield Lodge began construction. That same year, a fire caused major damage to the top station of the Crystal Chair. In 1990, the paving of the road from Whitecroft Village to Tod Mountain was finished, and in 1992, Nippon Cable Company Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan (now known as Hi-Lex Corporation [1]) purchased Tod Mountain. There's much more in the recent history of Sun Peaks, and you can read about it here: [2] Sun Peaks Resort was the first ski resort in North America and is the only resort in Canada to receive the ISO 14001 designation recognizing the resorts environmental policies and practices.
Sun Peaks gets an average annual snowfall of 220 in (or more than 18ft) (559 cm / 5.5 m) The resort village is at an elevation of 4117ft (1255m) above sea level, and the top lift elevation is 6824ft (2080m). The yearly average temperature is 22F (-6C), with highs in the winter around the freezing mark and lows around 14F (-10C). In the summer, the high temperatures average around 67F (13C), but can reach up into the high 80's (F) (20's C). The resort is probably known as "Sun" Peaks because it averages over 2000 hours of sunlight annually.

Under-the-Sink Organization: Maximize your Space!
You may have seen some of these great under-the-sink organizers before, but I bet many of you haven't seen a stock pot on this list. Read more to find out why a stock pot makes a great under-the-sink organizer.
Like the Over-the-Sink Accessories post, all of the featured products are made of bamboo and steel. Bamboo is renewable, extremely durable (harder than maple), naturally microbial, and beautiful. Steel is recyclable across many industries, many times over.
One of my favorite under-the-sink organization tips is using a metal pot as a cleaning bucket, rather than the traditional pail. The handle on the typical pail or bucket makes it extremely difficult to carry when full of water or loaded with cleaning supplies. The two handles on a pot make this task much easier. Secondly, the ergonomic handle on a pot makes it easy to use as a storage bin under the sink. Think about the motion used when you pull a drawer open or closed. Likewise, the pot acts like a drawer under your sink, as you pull the handle to take supplies in and out of your cabinet.
Product Line-Up:
1. Group photo of all featured products.
2. InterDesign Formbu Over Cabinet X3 Basket, Bamboo/Bronze from Amazon. $17.50
3. Heuck® Stainless Steel Stock Pot from Ace. $18.99 – $24.99.
4. InterDesign Axis Over-Cabinet 14″ Towel Bar from Hanger City. $11.49
5. Under Cabinet/Sink Shelf & Drawer Kit (Small, Chrome) from Organize.com. $29.99

The Planet's #1 Selling Popping Candy
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, Pop Rocks is the best-selling popping candy in the world! Pop Rocks focus on quality, from the raw materials used to the manufacturing process to the consumer and it's a strategy that works.
Way back in 1970s 500 MILLION packets of Pop Rocks were sold in just 18 months, making it "the hottest selling candy...in history"!
Did You Know
Pop Rocks has a (now dispelled!) urban legend attached to it. It was rumoured that Little Mikey, star of Life cereal commercials in the 1970s, ate a whole bag of Pop Rocks candy and downed a can of Coke. Supposedly, Mikey's stomach exploded from the combination and he died.
This is, of course, nonsense (it'll make you sick at worst!) but it did mean Pop Rocks got featured in the movie Urban Legends in 1988. You can check it out in the Video tab!
Pop Rocks come in a variety of delicious flavours, offering something for everyone. So get popping, get rocking now and add Pop Rocks to your basket today!This product is Gluten Free. INGREDIENTS: Ingredients: Sugar, lactose (Milk sugar), *Corn Syrup, Artificial Flavour, Artificial Colours **(E129), Processed With Carbon Dioxide. *Produced from genetically modified maize. **May have an adverse effect on activity & attention in children.

Is anyone missing the Premier League yet? It's been 10 long days since a ball was kicked in anger in English football's top flight, and I think we can all agree that it's about time that it, and domestic football around Europe, returned.
But that doesn't mean there wasn't some highlights from the international break. From England's uninspiring draw against Montenegro (who doesn't like confirmation that Roy Hodgson's men are, well, rubbish?) to Lionel Messi spewing up the contents of his stomach in Argentina's stalemate against Bolivia, there was plenty going on.
On top of that there were some pretty special goals as the cream of the world football crop helped edge their sides closer to securing a place at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Feast your eyes on this lot then ask yourself, do you really want domestic league football back so soon after all?

Loan Disclosure - Excelsior College
Page Hero - Tuition and Aid
Excelsior loan disclosure policies title and accordion
Loan Disclosure Information
Excelsior College policies and procedures pertaining to private loans.
These are institutional policies and may differ from policies set forth by the lenders.
General Private Loan Information
- After a private loan is certified, it will be disbursed once each trimester.
- The first disbursement will take place 10-12 business days after the loan is certified, but no earlier than three weeks prior to the start of a trimester.
- Eligibility is defined as an enrolled student with course approvals in place for the upcoming trimester and a completed Private Loan Study Plan (login required).
- To be eligible for subsequent disbursements, a student must attempt the anticipated credits in the previous trimester.
Course Takers
- Students receiving private loans in addition to federal aid may receive funding up to their cost of attendance as determined by the financial aid office.
Exam Takers
- Loan disbursement amounts will be based on the amount of credits anticipated (approximately $200 per credit hour).
- Due to the structure of the Clinical Performance in Nursing Examination (CPNE®), students will be allowed a maximum of $5,000 for the exam once eligible.
Choose Your Lender
Every student at Excelsior College has the right to choose the lender of their choice.
- Excelsior College only recommends lenders who do not sell their loans to another lender later since borrowers can and do lose certain benefits when lenders sell students' loans to other lenders.
- The College continuously monitors the service our students receive from the lenders on our list and encourages feedback regarding experiences with all lenders. The financial aid office reviews the listing of lenders on an annual basis.
- As these lenders are all independent entities, Excelsior College cannot guarantee their services, and no guarantee is given or implied that these particular lenders have the lowest available rates.
Questions to ask lenders
Choice of lender is in all cases the borrower's responsibility. Excelsior College provides the same treatment and service to all student and parent borrowers, regardless of the lender they select. To help you make an informed decision we recommend that you ask prospective lenders about their practices. Here are a few questions and the reasons for asking them:
Fees that are deducted up front will cost you money because you will not have received all of the money you have borrowed.
All savings are desirable. However, some benefits only happen during repayment when you are finished with school. Many of these back end benefits (benefits that accrue after repayment begins) are tied to on-time payments and can be lost if you miss or are late on one payment.
Incentives offered to borrowers who make forty-eight consecutive on-time payments sound attractive, but it may be very difficult to meet those requirements. If you are just a few days late with only one payment, the benefit usually becomes unavailable.
Loans can be sold without the borrower's permission, and this can leave the borrower with a lender that does not provide the same quality service as your original lender. Excelsior College strongly recommends borrowing from lenders who provide service over the life of your loan and who will not sell your loan.
It's important that you be able to ask questions and get help from a lender at times that fit into your own schedule.

ACParadise Network: American Cosplay Paradise American Cosplay Experience American Cosplay Snapshots
Some of the Silent Hill fans might also know me as "EileenGalvin", I am a huge fan of Cosplay, Final Fantasy and Silent Hill, that is why most of my Cosplay is Silent Hill or Final Fantasy related.
Actually I have a lot more Silent Hill Cosplay done than any others lol
I started cosplaying in 2000 and since then I made a few costumes. As mentioned before, most of them are from the Silent Hill series because I love Silent Hill so much. I haven't done many costumes so far because I actually hate sewing. Seriously. I prefer crafting which comes in handy for some Silent Hill Cosplay, such as the head of the Bubble Head Nurse costume or the parasite of the Puppet Doctor costume I made for a friend.
