Vilarnau Rose Cava 75cl
This is an age restricted product
You will be asked at checkout to verify that you are over the age of 18
Price per 75cl: £11.49
Product Description
Made from Trepat and Pinot Noir grapes which give this delicious pink fizz a bright redcurrant colour and vibrant ripe strawberry fruit characters, this Cava is aged for 18 months prior to disgorgement. It is soft and juicy in character with refreshing balanced acidity - the perfect aperitif.
Vilarnau (literally translated as The House of Arnau) made its first aged cavas in the town of Sant Sadurni d'Anoia in 1949. Sixty years later the wines are now made in a state of the art winery, whose sleek minimalist design couldn't be further from the fortified Romanesque house from which the company takes its name. The estate lies at approximately 250 metres above sea level and enjoys a Mediterranean climate, shielded by the breathtaking Montserrat Mountains to the north and the Litoral range to the south. Specialising in long-aged cavas, Vilarnau has over two and a half million bottles in stock, stored in temperature controlled cellars to ensure consistency of style and quality year after year.
Damia Deas has been in charge of winemaking at Vilarnau since 1985. He has personally supervised the planting of the vineyards and the construction of the spectacular bodega. Its sleek simplicity and sympathy with the surrounding landscape reflects Damia's interest in architecture, in which he is also qualified. Damia is passionate about Precision Viticulture, a practice where each vine is treated individually, achieving the ultimate balance between the canopy, the number of bunches and water retention, resulting in perfect ripening of the grapes.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Governor Scott Walker will make a promise tonight that middle-class taxpayers will get their state income taxes cut.
He'll tell lawmakers during his State of the State address that he'll advance Wisconsin with quote, "bold vision and bright hope for the future."
Walker released excerpts of his speech, which begins at 7 p.m. at the State Capitol.
He did not provide new details of the income tax cut. He said earlier it would be phased in over a number of years. Walker will promise quote, "to continue to put more money in the hands of the hard-working taxpayers and small business owners in our state."
The Republican also plans to talk up mining – and he'll again support efforts to set deadlines for state permit approvals, with a relaxing of rules to make it more appealing for mining companies to come in.
Walker will say in his speech that a mine would be quote, "a lifeline to people in northwest Wisconsin, where the unemployment rate in Iron County is the second-highest in the state at nearly 12-percent." But he said the benefits would be felt across Wisconsin.
The governor will also re-interate that he'll make more changes to the state's education system, without being specific.
Governors of both parties have traditionally been vague in their State-of-the-State addresses, saving the details for their budget presentations.

Muslim revival brings polygamy, camels to Chechnya
Adam, 52, keeps his three wives in different towns to stop them squabbling, but the white-bearded Chechen adds he might soon take a fourth. "Chechnya is Muslim, so this is our right as men. They (the wives) spend time together, but do not always see eye to eye," said the soft-spoken pensioner, who only gave his first name.
Though polygamy is illegal in Russia, the southern Muslim region of Chechnya encourages the practice, arguing it is allowed by sharia law and the Koran, Islam's holiest book.
Hardline Kremlin-backed leader Ramzan Kadyrov is vying with insurgents for authority in a land ravaged by two secessionist wars with Moscow. Each side is claiming Islam as its flag of legitimacy, each reviles the other as criminal and blasphemous.
Wary of the dangers of separatism in a vast country, Moscow watches uneasily as central power yields to Islamic tenets. It must chose what it might see as the lesser of two evils. Political analysts say that in exchange for successfully hunting out Islamist fighters, the Kremlin turns a blind eye to Kadyrov's Muslim-inspired rules.

NPC Contest Submit!
Posted 30 May 2006 - 08:51 PM
1) One NPC per person.
2) You can submit a picture and/or a written physical description. Picture is probably easier for Emi-chan to deal with. Don't make it too elaborate, since you don't want her to spend hours on a single character.
3) Give basic stats like name, height and class. Maybe include something on personality. Note that if you name the NPC after yourself, this means you will never have any other OO character named after you. (Just in case you were one day hoping to bribe me with offers of money, sex, or other goods to get into the comic. )
4) I'll be deciding which NPCs go into what groups (they'll be groups of four, of course). Because I'm the writing guy and I say so.
5) Not every submitted NPC is guaranteed to be used.
6) If you have a character named after you in OO that is participating in the game (so far this includes Terra, Saiai, Kayori, Tim, and Kerisu), you can't submit an NPC. It wouldn't be fair to others.
7) These NPCs aren't going to be major plot agents, so don't bother giving them huge extensive backgrounds. If you spend more than a couple hours on this, you're devoting too much time.
8) If you're a comic maker and you submit an NPC based on a character you created, you're giving OO copyright privileges to use said character in the comic. So if OO is ever published down the road, you won't complain that your character appears in print. It's probably best to avoid this problem and submit an original character.
NPC makers, GO!

Name: Meg the Pudding
Race: Ooze (read on for details)
Human form:
Height: 5,7
Age: Looks twenty-something
Hair: Bubblegum pink
Eyes: Sapphire blue
Skin: Fair
Class: Rogue
Weapons: Unarmed combatant; special move: engulfing hug
Clothes: Anything people give her to cover up, she's not choosy.
Quotes: "Hi!" "You're cute. Wanna make out?" "I remember you! You taste all spicey and you wriggle around a lot!"
Ooze form:
Height: Variable; Meg can squeeze herself into just about any shape.
Age: Unknown, possibly ancient
Protoplasm colour: Bubblegum pink
Class: Rogue
Weapons: Unarmed combatant; special move: engulfment
Clothes: Unneeded
Quotes: "Spleck." "Splorp." "Gloop, glop."
Meg is, in fact, an intelligent Ooze. (You know what they are, right?) 'Intelligent' is a relative term, though ... ^^; She's about as smart as a rather dumb human. Think South Californian beach bunny.
The first time she's encountered, Meg appears to be just a pink Ooze, guarding a treasure chest. Some female adventurer boasts she'll knock the 'monster' back with one blow and actually slams her weapon into Meg. The weapon sticks. Meg expands and engulfs the adventurer, then assumes (nude) human form and says: "Hmm, yummy!"
At this moment, Meg the Pudding is born as an interactive creature. She's agreeable, quite kindly and willing to help out if anyone asks her to, but she's still an Ooze. Occasionally, if someone attacks or gives the wrong answer to Meg's innocent remarks along the lines of "I'd like to eat you" or "Can I hold you for a while?", she'll engulf them and take them inside of her. At which point, whoever she engulfed before is spat out, unharmed but probably severely shaken.
Meg doesn't eat intelligent people -- though she'll eat just about anything else -- she just 'borrows' them for a while, absorbing their memories and any useful survival traits they might have. Then she uses them ... (Completely random idea: what if she engulfed one of the OO-ers and assimilated 'reality'? )
In any of her shapes, Meg is adverse to Bards; sonic attacks disrupt her protoplasm or, to use her words: "They make me jiggle lots!", which causes her discomfort and forces her to spit out whoever she might have recently engulfed, sometimes even forcing her into Ooze form.
Meg's appearance changes slightly with every person she engulfs, though her being female and her colours remain the same.

Dylana Merrow
Race: Human (Mermaid)
Height: 5' 9â€
Age: 29
Hair: Blonde with blue-green streaks
Eyes: Dark green, like the deep of a wave
Skin: Tan
Class: Bard
Weapon: Tridents, spears
Instruments: Voice and Biwa
Traits: Webbed fingers (hidden by gloves)
Clothes: Green dress, with a string of pearls, and shell dangle earrings. She also wears long white gloves
Favorite song: "Voyageâ€
Description: This woman stands five feet, nine inches tall, and has a willowy, graceful build and pleasantly round, small, perky breasts. Her hair is golden blonde, bleached by the sun and streaked with dark blue-green.. Her eyes are the deep green color of an ocean wave, and almond-shaped. Her lips are deep pink and slightly full. Tiny pointed shells dangle from her ears. Her dress is a medium green and made of soft cloth, cinched at the waist. A belt of woven sea-grass festooned with a circlet of mother-of-pearl wraps her waist. Her shoes are green leather sensible flats.
Background: Though Dylana's beauty is obvious, her true heritage is not. In reality, she is a mermaid that left the sea to explore the land in human form. While she was traveling this way, someone stole her magical red cap, depriving her of the power to return to the sea. (Note: This cap is covered all over with red feathers.)
She searches for it always, and has gathered quite a collection of such caps while trying to find her own, which she swears she would recognize once it touches her head. Bard is a natural class for her due to her beautiful singing voice.
Personality: Dylana can be quite shy and secretive about herself unless she has learned to trust you. She can be quite warm-hearted once she knows you, and her laughter is like bells.
When far from water she tends to be weak and lethargic, but perks up when she sees the seashore. She loves swimming in the waves, a trait left over from her watery days. Though she often gets weepy and sad when singing songs about her beautiful sea, she laughs at the wind and lightning of a storm.
Though her energy is low, she can be quite fierce in battle, especially when protecting sea creatures or those she has come to see as her friends.
Weapons: Her main weapon types are spears and tridents, both of which she has experience with from her time underwater. Normally only mermen wield tridents, but her brother, Briareus, taught her its use and she wields it in his honor.
Powers: In addition to bard spells, singing, and Bardic Knowledge, Dylana has these additional powers:
2x/ day her singing acts as a Charm spell on all who hear it.
(Su) Water Breathing ability, as per the spell.
Gets dehydrated easily;
Lightning spells do double damage

Name: Kisumi
Age: 17
Height: 5'10" (she's kinda tall)
Class: Level 1 (beginner) Air and quintessence elemental user, no adventuring class yet though
Hairstyle: Waist length, brown, braided pigtails
Eyes: Brown
Skin: tan, and she has freckles on her cheeks.
Costume: Dark blue long-sleeved dress with a white apron that has ruffled shoulder straps. She wears boots suitable for being outdoors though.
Personality: She's pretty much a ball of sunshine, she's nearly constantly happy, smiling and optimistic, and likes to hug or kiss other characters regardless of their gender. Some people would really like her company, but some would likely find her to be annoying.
Item: A gem called a light crystal that makes some large sparkles appear around her, they can be used to reflect some magic attacks or to cast a lightning attack.
Basic background: She's a maid at a village inn, but someone staying there gave her a highly rare item that he couldn't use since he was the wrong class, but it allowed her to go on adventures. She's good to have on a team because of her item, it allows her to fight way above her skill level. She can also take decent care of the other members of her team. Her main weakness is that all of her power comes from her item, and if she loses the item (which she does from time to time) she probably couldn't even win a tickle fight (she goes on advetures to level up and get better). Also, her item powers don't work underwater, her air skill just makes the water around her carbonated, and her lightning power is just generally bad underwater.

Name: Gef
Age: 21
Height: 5'5.9"
Class: Village idiot
Hair: Unruly black, very unkempt
Eyes: Green
Skin: White, not quite tanned but not ungodly pale, either
Duds: Wears a variety of garments that seem to have been picked out at random. Has a very eccentric and brightly-colored getup.
Personality: He's about as sharp as an ostrich. When danger shows up, he hides behind his hands, hoping that what he can't see can't see him. Strikes some as a lost child, desperately looking for something he can't find.
Background: Gef led an uneventful life in his village, happily and merrily doing whatever it is that idiots do. This was until some villagers thought that it would be a wonderfully hilarious idea to blindfold him and drop him off in the woods about a mile from town. This was 2 years ago. Gef has spent the time since trying to find his way back to the village.
Posted 06 June 2006 - 04:35 AM
Race: Human
Occupation: Not a very good sourceress who really wants to be an amazon warrior.
Age: 33 (actually around 60-ish but she's used youth potions several times)
Height: 5' 8"
Appearance: Indeterminate ancestry, most distinctive characteristic is perfectly straight, perfectly black, exactly waist-length hair.
Sabine has learned every spell in the book, to the first level, and a few to higher levels. She's not very good with many except for healing (only works on herself), resurrection and magic doors.
Her magic ability is low because she spent the early part of her adventuring career adding XP to Strength and Dexterity until they were maxed for her class, and drinks every strength and dexterity potion she finds and often goes into debt buying strength and dexterity potions so she can swing the two handed sword (+31 to life) she bought at an exhorbitant price from a dealer and wear the extra strong Mystic Armor (not magical, just very strong), also bought for way more than it should've cost, but it's saved her life in hundreds of fights. Her helmet adds +14 to all her attributes, without it and the rings and amulets she wears that also boost everything, she couldn't use the sword or armor. Being a magical artifact, when on her head the helmet takes on the appearance of a hat appropriate to her class, a broad brimmed, pointy, witches hat with gold trim at the edge of the brim. When she takes it off, it looks like a steel, open faced helmet with integrated cheek guards and an upward curved horn on each side.
Her magic and vitality are nowhere near maxed so now she puts half her XP each level into each of those attributes. Most of the spells she's learned by temporarily borrowing magic boosting rings and amulets from other adventuerers, reading the spellbook, then giving back the jewelry. That gives her the ability to use the spells but they put such a drain on her mana that they can only be used once or twice before she has to rest or drink a mana potion. (She always carries 6 or more at all times!)
With her potioned-up strength and dexterity, she packs a mean wallop with her sword, but tends to be slow with it, relying on her Mystic Armor to take the blows her opponents always get in before her next hit, which usually finishes them.
She's always in debt up to her ears for repairs on her helmet, sword and armor, as well as the strength, dexterity and youth potions. She keeps on adventuring anyway, always hoping the next monster she kills will drop some super magical item she can sell for the 100,000 Gold another youth potion costs.

Gender: Male
Species: Human (dragon)
Height: around Eri-chan's (human)/about twice that (dragon)*
Age: late teens (in human form)/not fully grown (dragon)*
Class: Chef
He's a spoof on People Eating Tasty Animals - or Monsters, in this world's case. He's an intelligent (character-grade) golden dragon, able to take human form at whim (clothes and equipment going into hammerspace as needed), who's exploring the world to sample its many tastes. He usually avoids dining on anyone he believes to be sentient, unless they attack him first or he's supposed to kill them anyway (though he did once apologize to someone who hacked out of his stomach after a misunderstanding). He serves as his party's logistics, able to both hunt up food (and cook it with flame breath) and fly the party around, and possessing the same like for gold that has led many of his kin to acquire their famed treasure mounds.
In dragon form - he's a dragon. Gold scales, gold skin, silver eyes. In human form, aside from his tan skin, he tends to keep the same basic color scheme: blond hair, slit gold irises on silver (not white) eyeballs, and yellow-colored clothing (maybe golden armor, which protects more through the magic one can bind into gold than through the hardness of a soft metal). The one exception is when he is practicing the core skills of his class and preparing a meal: whether human or dragon, he will wear a white chef's hat - which no one else has yet actually seen him don, nor been able to affect in the slightest (though some have tried) as if it were an illusion.
* It's not like these stats are going to be published, so I figured I'd give measurements that Emi might actually find useful.

The BSE Sensex rose 2.7 percent in the week ending September 20, as foreign inflows and the U.S. Federal Reserve's surprise decision to continue with its bond-buying programme boosted market sentiment.
The benchmark index, which is now up 9 percent in September and has gained for four consecutive weeks, touched its highest level since November 2010 on Thursday after the Fed's surprising move. Analysts said the U.S. central bank's decision could lead to a resurgence of portfolio flows into emerging markets such as India.
On Friday, the Reserve Bank of India stunned markets by raising the repo rate by 25 basis points (bps), but some of the recent rupee support measures were trimmed. The Indian currency gained 2 percent in the last five sessions and ended the week at 62.23/24 per dollar.
Here are the top gainers and losers of this week:
MARUTI SUZUKI: India's biggest carmaker was the top Sensex performer, with its stock surging 11 percent, taking its gains for the month to almost 18 percent.
The coming months are expected to be tough for India's auto sector. Sales growth is expected to remain in the negative in the fiscal year ending March 2014, an industry executive said on Sept. 10.

One year clean, hooray!
I went to the CT scan today. Okay, I don't have the results yet, but I am confident it will come out clean. The radiation place is interesting. I am led to a room, asked to change into a toga-like thing, and asked to wait until I am going to have some drug (radioactive iodine) injected into me. Pretty much, it feels like a cult, and I am there for my brainwashing. I then go to the CT scan. It is a giant donut you go through. It feels a little bit like Stargate. It feels and sounds like I could be transported somewhere else suddenly. Anyway, thanks for following my journey.

In 2000, median weekly earnings for female full-time wage and salary workers were $491, or 76 percent of the $646 for their male counterparts.
In 1979, when comparable earnings data were first available, women earned about 63 percent as much as men did.
The difference between women's and men's earnings is larger among middle-aged and older workers than it is among younger ones. For example, among workers aged 45 to 54, women earned 72.7 percent as much as men did in 2000 and, among those 55 to 64 years old, the women's-to-men's earning ratio was 68.5 percent. In contrast, among those aged 16 to 24, women earned 91 percent as much as men, and among 25- to 34-year-olds, women's earnings were 81.9 percent of those of men.
These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. Earnings data in this article are median usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2000," BLS Report 952 (PDF 193K).

Paideia®: Changing the Course of Liberal Arts Education
R. Bryant Hill
Southwestern Universitys Paideia® Program is now in its third year and, next spring, will graduate its first class of Paideia® Scholars. Almost 20 percent of the students at the University are a part of this innovative academic endeavor. Yet, while nearly everyone on campus and the majority of those in the larger Southwestern community have heard of Paideia®, many remain unclear regarding exactly what it is or why it came into being. To be honest, many still have trouble pronouncing it.
Paideia (pie-DAY-uh) comes from the Greek word paidos, which means the upbringing of a child. In ancient Greece, it connoted the sum total of educational experience required to train and prepare a young person to be a Greek citizen. At the time, there was little that was of greater social import. Citizenship accorded a certain degree of respect and honor to an individual as well as a host of social and political responsibilities to Greece and its people.
Little wonder, then, that a term of such gravitas would be applied to a program meant to transform liberal arts education in the 21st century. The goals and purpose of the Paideia® Program draw deeply from the educational history and import of paideia with the hope of building an even richer educational future for the students of Southwestern and, someday, all students of the liberal arts.
Early Thoughts
Southwesterns Paideia® Program originated through the process of forming the Universitys 2010 Strategic Plan. According to Jim Hunt, provost and dean of the faculty, As part of the development of the Strategic Plan, faculty and staff were encouraged to develop bold proposals for possible inclusion in the plan. Discussion of the program with University faculty came to focus upon the issue of student preparedness and resulted in the proposal of a program designed to ensure that Southwestern students actively engage their educational experience.
Once adopted as part of the Strategic Plan, it became known as the Named Fellows Portfolio Program and called for participating students to earn distinction in areas such as languages, international/cultural experience, collaborative learning, service, leadership, internships, the arts, athletics and entrepreneurship.
These areas of distinction mark traditional avenues of pursuit within liberal arts education and are not what set this program apart from similar programs at other universities. Rather, Hunt notes, it was making intentionality the central tenet of this proposal that made it unique. What was new was requiring that students participate in these activities in an intentional way, and requiring students to reflect on the activities and how the activities connected to their other educational experiences, he says. In some ways, Southwestern was in the process of developing a new curricular concepta concept that could be considered meta-curricular.
By meta-curricular, Hunt means that the students who participate in this program must consciously take stock of their progress and examine their educational process from a different vantage pointone that allows them to reflect upon the interrelatedness of the knowledge and experiences they acquire. Typically, students encounter, consider and digest knowledge and experience in discreet packets. In contrast, the program envisioned by Hunt and other faculty members asked students to think intentionally about the knowledge they gain in the classroom and to consider how it connects to real-world events, to other educational experiences and to their own lives. As a result of this very intentional process of reflection and connection, a student in this program would be more likely, for example, to recognize and explore the perceived relationship between the shift from an industrial to a service economy as explained by his or her macroeconomics professor and the fall to homelessness of an unemployed textile worker as detailed by the same students sociology professor.
The student also might draw connections between these educational experiences and his or her personal experience through a service-learning or leadership opportunity, thereby reinforcing the learning process via an opportunity for the practical application of the knowledge.
An Opportunity Presents Itself
In 2001, The Priddy Charitable Trust in Wichita Falls, Texas, sought proposals from 19 colleges and universities for original programs that would revitalize the liberal arts in the United States. Southwestern submitted the Named Fellows Portfolio Program, which, ultimately, emerged as a finalist for consideration. Hunt was given the task of fine-tuning the program with the input of faculty and other campus colleagues for a final presentation to the Trust.
While preparing, Hunt began to feel that too much emphasis was being put on the portfolio element of the proposal since it was not what he envisioned defining the program. He thought the proposal and program needed greater focus on the intentionality of the experience and the meta-curricular nature of the program as these elements were more indicative of what the faculty saw as its true value. He says, It was this realization that caused me to explore the use of the word paideia to describe what we were trying to accomplish.
Certainly, most colleges and universities try, in some way, to offer students a paideia-like experience. Hunt notes, They all have a set of courses and experiences that define the colleges or universitys vision of what a person, educated for the citizenry, should know and/or be able to do. Unfortunately, these courses and experiences rarely are framed in such a way to provide the kind of intentionality that the term paideia implies.
The strong intentionality of the new program being proposed by Southwestern set it apart from such efforts and led to its designation as the Paideia® Program.
Southwestern learned of the fate of its proposal to the Priddy Trust in the fall of 2002. The basic elements of the proposal were fundedwith money for the new faculty required to allow senior professors to become Paideia® Professors, the establishment of an associate provost position to oversee the program, stipends for students to cover Paideia®-related expenses and a challenge grant toward the construction of the planned Center for Lifelong Learning, which would house Paideia® and other student services. It was now time to turn the vision into reality.
Building Our Paideia®
With continuing input from Paideia® Professors and Paideia® Scholars alike, the Paideia® Program has evolved significantly during the three years since its inception. However, the evolution has been more about the mechanics and methodology of the program and less about its driving goals and fundamental tenets. The mission has remained the same. Paideia® Professor Sherry Adrian says, We wanted students to experience a community of learners that went beyond the bounds of majors and classrooms. We wanted students to engage in reflective practices that help them explore connections across disciplines, to make connections among their many courses of study with life outside the classroom.
The goal remains, according to the Paideia® handbook, to engage Paideia® Scholars in learning by building a culture of connections and reflections, and by integrating in-class and out-of-class academic and non-academic activities. Paideia® promotes connections between academics, intercultural experiences, leadership, service-learning and collaborative research/creative works. These are the five strands every Paideia® Scholar is tasked with weaving together via experiences within each strand, discussion and interaction with their Paideia® Professor and cohort at seminar meetings, and through frequent one-on-one meetings with Paideia® Professors.
Significantly, Paideia® is a student-guided experience. It is up to each Paideia® Scholar to explore, with the guidance of his or her Paideia® Professor, his or her own course through the three years of the program. This encourages students to take greater ownership of their own educational experience, which, research indicates, makes them more engaged learners. It is also, perhaps, why even those within Paideia® often have a difficult time explaining what it is. Paideia® Scholar Candace Stockton notes, I find myself saying more and more often that Paideia® is what the student wants to make of it. For me, especially in the past several weeks, Paideia® has become an outlet, of sorts, for my creative energy. When I meet with my group, we discuss possibilities for service projects and ways to improve the campus and surrounding communities. We also explore our own lives, current events and our often-differing viewpoints. Being with the smaller group has enabled me to take charge where I might otherwise have left leadership to another person.
This freedom to challenge themselves and direct their learning is, for many, one of the most beloved elements of the program. Ansa Copeland, also a Paideia® Scholar, says, I have thrived in the openness of the program. Each group is different and ours is very internally motivated. The students lead every session, giving us each a chance to practice leadership and innovation.
Paideia® cohorts are comprised of students from a range of academic disciplines and majors, exposing each student to perspectives and knowledge outside his or her own field of study. Without Paideia®, Copeland notes, My Southwestern experience would still be great, but I think I would have had more difficulty pursuing some interests, such as my current research project [a long-term philanthropic endeavor in Kenya] The Paideia® Program has been a doorway into other areas of the University I otherwise would have had more difficulty accessing.
Paideia® Professor Suzanne Buchele also cites the significance of the relationships developed in Paideia®. The most important parts of the program that have evolved in the first three years are the relationships and the connections. Since the seminar groups stay together for three years in the program, wonderful, close relationships are formed both among the students in the cohort, and between the professors and the students. As the professor, it is wonderful for me to get to know these students so well, and learn from them as we all learn together, she says.
Why Paideia®?
The pedagogical instincts behind Paideia® are strongly supported by the work of many education researchers, including Richard Light.
Light, professor in the graduate school of education and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and his colleagues, interviewed more than 1,600 senior undergraduate students at Harvard to discern what the students believed helped them get the most out of their educational experience. The results of this extensive research were published in Making the Most of College: Students Speak Their Minds (2001). According to Light, When asked to rate courses they take, students often give the most rigorous and demanding classes their highest ratings. Yet from the interviews, a fascinating observation emerges about certain faculty members who had an especially powerful influence on their thinking and on their lives. The faculty members who had an especially big impact are those who helped students make connections between a serious curriculum, on the one hand, and the students personal lives, values and experiences, on the other. Students were most impacted by the connection of knowledge to experience that helped them actualize learning beyond the examples offered in a textbook or tome of required reading.
Lights work also emphasizes the importance undergraduates placed on being able to think nimbly, and with some depth, across disciplines. Many seniors single out interdisciplinary classes as the courses that meant the most to them. As a corollary, they cite faculty members who, while expert in their own fields, are able to put their fields in a broader perspective, Light explains. Students find this important. They believe the real world, and the way people think in the real world, does not divide neatly into categories called history, chemistry, literature, psychology and politics. When asked what they want in place of the typical departmental structure, Light finds students invariably ask for more cross-cutting experiences and to make it easier for them to get the big picture.
More broadly, Paideia® Professor Rebecca Sheller says, Many data in the area of education indicate that engagement in major activities such as service, leadership, intercultural activities and collaborative/creative works is often a life-changing, transformative experience for a college student.
Light himself visited Southwestern in the fall of 2004. While on campus, he met with Paideia® Professors and Paideia® Scholars and presented a lecture to the University community highlighting his research on educational outcomes for college students. At the end of his visit, he provided some exciting and unexpected feedback on Southwesterns Paideia® Program. Light said, Im stunned, and Id even honestly say, blown away, by how special the Paideia® Program is. It provides those very experiences that 15 years of research on my campus and a number of other campuses has told us students most value in a college education. I have visited more than 100 campuses in America in the past 10 or so years, and I cannot think of a single campus that has anything like the Paideia® Program. It really is unique.

Small towns in Tama County are being turned into Hollywood-style movie sets for the next few weeks!
Crews from New York chose Traer and Clutier to shoot the bulk of a World War Two film called "A Place for Heroes".
"Iowa is wonderful, the way the towns have embraced us," said Sam Borowski, "A Place for Heroes" producer.
The filmmakers worked on a small community movie in Tama County a few years ago, and decided the small town backdrop would be ideal for shooting the World War Two movie.
"This is reality. You can't build this on a studio back lot," said Borowski.
Dozens of local veterans are even learning a new drill: serving as extras on set. They're all thrilled to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which they hope puts a much deserved spotlight on those who have served.
"I think it's a very welcomed thing for the veterans. They deserve all the recognition they can get," said Jim Zacharis, Vietnam veteran.
87-year-old World War Two veteran Norbert Cloud even broke out his 1940s Army uniform for the shoot.
"It's quite an experience to see this all put together," Cloud said.
Alongside the big stars and veterans, a couple of Iowans will be featured in the movie, including Cedar Falls native and "Saturday Night Live" alum Gary Kroeger and University of Iowa student Kiera Morrill from Des Moines.
"I've gotten my big break here. Someday I might move out and see the world, but until then, just many thanks and gratitude to all the people around here," said Morrill.
Tama County towns pitched in to help finance the film, and are already seeing the beginnings of what they hope will be a long-term benefit from the movie.
"They're spending money at the local establishments, and getting the towns names out there and hopefully we'll become maybe a mini "Field of Dreams" kind of thing where people will want to stop by and see," said Cecilia Podhajsky of Traer.
For now, the small Tama County towns will enjoy this time in the spotlight.
"A Place for Heroes" is set to be released next year, and will debut at several film festivals nationwide. The movie will then hit the big screens at selected theatres, which will likely include a few right here in Iowa.

NORCROSS -- Gwinnett County police were investigating Wednesday a suspicious package found at a Norcross bank.
The bomb squad -- which also responds to potential biological or chemical threats -- responded to the Wells Fargo at 5525 Peachtree Parkway after the package was discovered before 6 p.m. Though there was "no indication" an explosive device was in the package, the bomb squad implemented its robot and X-rayed the box, police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said.
Smith said the box contained "a bag filled with smaller bags" with something else inside.
Information on that material was not available as of press time Wednesday.

TEAMS: Toronto Maple Leafs, Colorado Avalanche
Via Puck Drunk Love:
Ceremonial puck drops have become pretty routine. Player X walks out, drops the puck and that's that. The Toronto Maple Leafs decided to add some creativity to their opening puck drop, dropping the puck from the International Space Station.
Some friends in high places (literally) and a bit of TV magic combined to make this one of the most fun and most innovative puck drops in NHL history. Toronto also did a tremendous job of incorporating names of old such as Felix Potvin, Darcy Tucker, Darryl Sittler and Johnny Bower.
The bar has been set quite high. Here's hoping more teams flex their creative muscle and try to liven up the usual boring, mundane opening ceremonies.

NYPD beefs up security at the 9/11 and Central Park runs
The NYPD spared no precaution at the city's Sunday runs, in the wake of two horrific bombings near the finish line of last week's Boston Marathon.
An NYPD spokesperson described the myriad security measures taken, involving personnel from nearly every unit in the force.
Any cars parked in the vicinity of the 9/11 Memorial Run and Walk, from Pier 57 to the World Trade Center, were relocated, and checked for explosives as a precaution.
Radiation sweeps were conducted prior to the event all along the route, and the bomb squad conducted specific sweeps at Pier 57.
Explosive and vapor-wake dogs with the K-9 unit were deployed inside the pier and along the route as well, and all trash cans along the route were removed.
One of the bombs at the Boston Marathon was thought to have been placed in a trash can.
Runners were also flanked by security on either side: NYPD scooter officers sped along the bike path parallel to the runners, and critical response vehicles were deployed on the West Side Highway, on the opposite side of the runners' route.
A counter-terror video car was also deployed along the way on the West Side Highway, to capture 360-degree video.
Culling through video footage collected from runners and spectators was one of the ways the Boston Police Department and others in the Joint Terrorism Task Force were able to locate the suspects, and eventually provide photos of them to the public.
All of the same precautions were taken at the four-mile Central Park run.
According to some runners, however, the added security didn't dampen the mood.
"It wasn't overwhelming by any means," said one Central Park runner, Leah. "It was reassuring."
Leah said the only major thing she noticed that seemed out of the ordinary compared to other runs she's done was a security checkpoint at the start of the race.
Otherwise, the police had a "visible presence," but "it didn't change the mood of the race."
"It didn't make it somber, it was still a very lively, uplifting event," Leah explained.
Besides, Leah noted, the majority of the runners seemed to have anticipated the security.
"Unfortunately in this day and age, that's the reality we live in," she added.
Michele Richinick, a runner at the 9/11 Memorial Run said she didn't notice anything out of the ordinary either, besides a bag search at Pier 57.
Cassie Leventhal, a runner in the Central Park race whose family is from Boston, noticed the absence of trash cans along the course and said there were "maybe a little more police than usual, but nothing out of the ordinary where it's like, 'oh, you're all standing guard on horses.'"
Leventhal also noted that in the past it's been customary for plastic bags to be required at "more high-caliber, high-media" races like the New York Half-Marathon and the New York Marathon.
Leah said that she and her friends originally signed up for the run on a whim, thinking it would be a nice thing to do in early spring.
But of course it became more than that.
"It became about showing solidarity for Boston, which was awesome to partake in," she said.
Leventhal also appreciated the measures taken to show support, especially the announcement by the New York Road Runners on Thursday that everyone that weekend would get back bibs reading "I Run for Boston."
"Who do you run for and why has been their whole campaign," Leventhal explained. "It was really nice, coming from the Boston area my whole life, but also growing up in New York, too, it was a really nice joint collaboration."
The organizers of the Central Park run also played "Sweet Caroline" at the start of the race, which Leventhal said was an "awesome" way to kick off the run.
Leventhal noted that the young woman who sang the national anthem prior to the run in Central Park was from Hopkinton, Massachusetts, where the Boston Marathon always starts.
"She started crying in the middle of it and that just made me bawl hysterically," Leventhal said.
Londoners rallies for Boston, tightens security as well
Englishman Samuel Bond, who ran the London Marathon in a rhinoceros costume for Save the Rhinos, said he wore a black ribbon for Boston, as most London runners did.
"We had a minute of silence at the start too, was pretty moving," Bond said. "Felt more important running today."
Bond said he didn't notice security being heavier than usual, but he did hear a lot of loudspeaker announcements about reporting suspicious packages and bags.
Bond finished in just under six hours, 20-pound rhino costume and all.

For Thanksgiving Day I always tend to dress up a bit and usually have an outfit picked out in advance. This year, that was not the case. I only knew that I wanted to wear this scarf that I recently purchased. The outfit all stemmed from there!

Tony Eagle
"Prompt, dependable, honest, and good with people." These are words a MerleFest volunteer team leader uses to describe Tony Eagle. Having volunteered for fourteen years, Tony is something of a MerleFest institution. He always requests to work perimeter security and team leader Jason Parnell is always pleased to have him patrol the cabin road at the backstage area. "Anything good you can say covers Tony Eagle," comments Jason.
Perhaps his many years of experience as a Dayton, Ohio police officer is what prompts retiree Tony to return to perimeter security year after year. He says his best duty as a police officer was his eight years of bicycle patrol. Even though he no longer patrols the streets of Dayton, cycling is still an interest for Tony. He considers staying healthy a hobby and a necessity. In addition to cycling he also walks, hikes, canoes, and kayaks.
On retiring, he and wife Sue left the snowy north and moved to Townsend, Tennessee which Tony calls "the peaceful side of the Smokies." The couple has seven children, fourteen grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren. Sue joins Tony in volunteering at MerleFest when she can. Retirement has allowed the couple to fulfill travel dreams. "We have a twenty-six foot RV, and my gypsy blood has taken us to forty-nine states. Sometimes my mind thinks I am only sixteen years old."
Tony learned about volunteering at MerleFest while attending the festival one year. He was at the Creekside stage and noticed a person sneak in by wading the creek. "I told someone that it looked like they needed more security. They told me about volunteering and the rest is history," remembers Tony.
His favorite artists at MerleFest are Doc Watson, Emmylou Harris, and the Sunday morning gospel singers. ?" tell everyone, if they don't find music they like here, they never will!!!" Tony continues, "Every year is like a reunion/homecoming. MerleFest is the BEST in the world, it's FAMILY."
MerleFest is fortunate to have people like Tony Eagle as part of our volunteer family. In the words of Jason Parnell, "Bottom line, Tony is a good man."

Dating websites are commonplace, but what about virtual matchups geared towards teenagers? A social media expert is warning parents about dating sites targeted at a younger demographic. Jenny Schmitt said that some of the content found on the sites can be racy and risky. The sites can be easily accessed by teens looking for love and others with more suspect intentions."You don't even have to have a login to get on some of these sites. So you can just go on, create an identity, upload a picture and start chatting right away," Schmitt said.There's no terms of agreement, no security profiles -- no way to keep out people who could be predatorsExperts say the danger lies in the tendency of teens to trust when one never knows who is actually on the other end.Young people often offer things online that they wouldn't offer in person to strangers, including phone numbers."They're not really looking at it through the lens of either a parent or someone who has more experience. They're looking at it as getting attention, some accolades, maybe some feedback of how great they are," Schmitt said.Schmitt says that teens shouldn't use their real pictures on their profiles. Instead, they should use animated avatars."Chose a name that's not your name and doesn't include physical details," she said.
Schmidt advises parent to take a look at their teens' computer history for apps on tablets and phones. She also urges parent to talk with their teens about what they're looking for and what friends they've made online and ask to see those friends' profiles.

Careers in Marketing
Marketing careers range from marketing research to brand management to public relations. Marketing-related jobs make up one third of the civilian labor force. Many top executives of Fortune 500 companies come out of marketing fields, including IBM's current CEO, Virginia Rometty, and previous CEO, Lou Gerstner.
Marketing Research and Consulting
Marketing research analysts and consultants study consumer preferences and behaviors by analyzing data. They use this analysis to advise companies on how to introduce, brand, and sell products.
Companies gather tons of data for analysis. Taking advantage of the data to generate managerial insights is challenging. No wonder the demand for marketing research analysts and consultants is surging. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics predicts a whopping 41.2 percent employment increase for the Market Research Analyst position between 2010 and 2020. The same position is also ranked the No. 1 best business job by US News & World Report.
Employment usually comes from either a marketing research company or the marketing research department of a company. Graduates need a strong background in statistics and computer analytics. It also requires a solid knowledge of consumer behavior and an ability to communicate with management.
Product/Brand Management
You've probably seen a TV commercial that has made you want to buy the newest technology or try a new product. Somewhere behind that advertising campaign is a product/brand manager. Many firms have one manager who is responsible for developing marketing plans for a particular product or brand.
Product managers interpret market research studies, decide the product price, enhance the brand awareness and brand equity, and work with advertising agencies to develop campaigns. In addition to traditional advertising, product/brand managers increasingly connect with customers through social media and generate buzz through internet marketing campaigns.
The product/brand manager job is currently ranked No. 9 among best business jobs by US News & World Report. New college graduates generally begin product management careers as product or brand assistants who work directly for the product/brand manager.
Sales and Sales Management
Selling is an essential component of marketing, but marketing is much more than sales. The goal of Krannert's rigorous curriculum and training is to lead you to a sales management position.
Sales mangers direct the distribution of their companies' products to customers, which involves establishing sales territories as well as setting quotas and goals. Guiding the sales team, sales managers outline staff training programs, develop strategies for the team to operate efficiently, and push team members to surpass short- and long-team sales targets.
Sales managers also help identify new customers and new business opportunities. In addition, sales managers have external responsibilities that include actively recruiting and hiring sales associates.
Of course, you may have to start your career as an entry-level sales representative. The responsibility of a salesperson includes helping distributors merchandise a product, monitoring competitors' activities, and demonstrating new products.
Sales positions can be very rewarding. Because of the exceptional level of independence working in sales, many individuals turn down opportunities for promotion into management.
A wide variety of companies seeks people for sales careers: consumer goods firms, companies providing service, and business-to-business firms. The sales manager job and the business-to-business firm sales representatives are ranked No. 15 and No. 16 among the best business jobs by US News & World Report.
There are two management tracks in retailing: merchandise management and store management. The key position in merchandising is that of a buyer, who selects merchandise, determines the quantity to order, sets merchandise prices, and guides promotion.
In contrast, store management involves the supervision of personnel in all departments and the general management of all facilities, equipment, and merchandise. Store managers are also responsible for the financial performance of each department and for the store as a whole.
Most entry-level jobs in retailing are trainee positions. A trainee is usually placed in a management training program and then given a position as an assistant buyer or assistant department manager. Advancement and responsibility can be achieved quickly because there is a shortage of qualified personnel in retailing. Superior performance is quickly reflected in sales and profits – two visible measures of success.

Port Authority Police say diamonds worth more than half a million dollars were left out in the open at the warehouse where thieves stole more than $1.2 million in cash last week.
The NY Post says police found a damaged cargo container in the Swiss Airlines warehouse at JFK Thursday afternoon. The crates arrived on Swiss airlines flights from Zurich.
The report says although it was still sealed, the container had a gap of several inches on the bottom and diamonds were visible inside.
The contents included up to $600 million worth of diamonds that were destined for jewelers in New York City and other locations.
Last week, police say thieves used a forklift to break through a crate and stole $1.2 million in cash from the same warehouse.
That cash robbery went unnoticed for two days when the crates were opened at a Federal Reserve Center in East Rutherford, NJ.
The Post says that heist was being investigated as an inside job and the FBI planned to give polygraph tests to airport workers who had access to Building 22.

Smaller Government in all countries around the world
Is there a way we can rationally and gradually shrink all governments in countries all over the world and reduce them to providing protection on national level and let the local take care of their own problems and seek help from other local governments?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Feb 18 2013: The premise of the question disturbs me. It assumes that there is some optimal size a government should be to mediate the competition for power that is natural in all of us. Government is the agreement we make to control our natural urges for the sake of civilized social intercourse. In the United States, where I am from, it was the savagery of the slave powers that constantly clamored for small government. When government gets in the way of our barbaric or savage tendencies, we instantly want it to shrink; but when nature savages us as it did with Hurricane Katrina or wildfire infernos in Texas or the Tsunami that devastated Japan, we tend to grade government by a different metric. They have a very small government in Somalia and Afghanistan and how is that working for them? Small government advocates rarely ask how the power void would be filled as government shrinks. But those of us who are not members of the power elite know the answer to that question. Someone said that the US constitution was designed purposely to limit the scope of the Federal Government. But that is odd, since the Constitution was "ordained and established" to replace the Articles of Confederation where the states maintained their complete sovereignty. This limited government mantra is a farce. Government should be big enough to ensure each citizen has EQUAL protection under the law. When government can guarantee that, then we can entertain a question about its size. Until then, it is only a beast or a monster to those warlords who want to carve out their own little multi-billion dollar fiefdoms and rule in perpetuity over a serfdom with no control over their destiny. Here is an exercise, see if you can go anywhere and see anything that was not made better by government regulation. ANYTHING? be careful, if you see only one footprint in the sand, perhaps that is when Big government is carrying you.
Feb 18 2013: Hi James.
In today's world and the one (whatever that is), that is emerging, more and more of the populace of virtually any country will be dependent upon the (good) will of the people for survival.
There are enough jobs of every variety today, to put almost everyone who can, to work doing something that the world and its inhabitants need and desire.
A problem with that is that many of these jobs no one wants to do and one reason for that is they will not pay enough to live and survive on.
I think government should be small everywhere, without the powers they have usurped from the people and the people have let them take or have.
One benefit may be people will work together, country to country and begin solving their problems, or rather our problems. We all share them, as we are part of the reason for them.
But it goes deeper or is more widespread than that.
The corruption that all governments thrive on must be eliminated everywhere and one great way to do that is to end the global monetary system. Then, we will solve our problems.

Help Stop NF2 Kilimanjaro Charity Climb 10-10-10 by HelpStopNF2 - over 4 years ago
