The hotel has an excellent staff. Cindy, our cabana attendant was awesome. She would check on us regularly, brought us multiple buckets of ice (without us asking), and was very sweet to the kids. I think every staff interaction I had was wonderful. The hotel is really geared towards families and they have a ton of activities for kids in addition to Splashtopia. The restaurant on site, Blu Ember, is wonderful. They had deals going on during our stay where the kids would eat free and there were a lot of options for the kids both at breakfast and dinner.
The walls are thin and we could hear everything that was being said next to us. The families next to us were not being particularly loud, it's just that the walls are paper thin. Our bathroom had ants, which is not that big of a deal, but made me feel like maybe things weren't that clean. There are no elevators to reach the second floor. This is not a problem. We prefer to take the stairs. However, the building we stayed in (#24) had uneven stairs. So the first step was huge and then all the rest of the stairs would be the same size and then the last stair would be larger again. Both my sons fell the first time because they were not expecting such a large step. If you have little ones I would recommend getting a first floor room, however, with the walls being so thin = noise issue, I don't know if you want someone above you.

Poor 2.0
This hotel is a PARTY hotel and was like a scene from Spring Break in Daytona Beach or from the Jersey Shore. It was packed with young, hard-partying people who were drunk from noon until the wee hours of the morning. They were loud, obnoxious, and were frequently swearing and exposing themselves in front of my children both in the hotel and at the pool. Now one might argue the hotel can't control who stays there but this hotel is clearly encouraging this specific type of hotel guest because they have night club at the hotel that pumps out loud music until 2 in the morning and their bar tenders continue serving extremely drunk people all day long. They are clearly making a lot of money from alcohol sales. This is not place for families or anyone looking for a romantic stay. The pools were overrun with extremely drunk people from 11 in the morning into the night and it was difficult to get sleep at night with them running, yelling, and generally being totally inconsiderate the whole nig...

woke up to find our bathtub (which we never used) backed up with dirty water and hair....maitenance took the next afternoon and evening - leaving our hotel room door wide open - to fix the problem and said they were not allowed to leave until they corrected the problem leaving us to have to change in our room for dinner -with them in the restroom and us using the main lobby bathroom to do makeup touchups...they unclog the drain, rinse the tub but still left residuals of human hair in the tub...which was still there when we left three days later....our second issue was our room was right above the costas nightclub...not usually a problem but we were to catch a 6 am flight and the club closes at 2 am and we kept waking to the pouding of the music...another issue was the outdoor hot tubs were lukewarm water at best and no one was able to enjoy them. the pool bar closes at 4 and there is no place to just get a plain hamburger in the hotel after that time (except room service), seems to be ...

Hotel was in a perfect location, near restaurants, shopping and downtown Palm Desert. Staff was friendly, and the lobby and bathrooms were really clean. Mattress was firm but pillows were nice. Other room amenities were excellent - TV, bathroom, fridge, microwave, coffee maker, etc.
The elevator was dirty and smelled bad, and the air conditioning unit smelled a little like urine (probably from water issues). Sheets were a little on the rough side. Overall, very minor issues given the price.

Grounds were very pretty. The employee during our check in was very professional, friendly and accommodating.
Lighting in our room was NOT adequate, both in the bathroom (especially the bathroom) and in our bedroom. We had dinner outside and happened to be seated at a table where there was no overhead lighting. All the other tables has strings of lighting overhead to provide adequate lighting to read the menu and see your food. Ours didn't have any and we couldn't read the menu or see our food. We had to use the flashlights from our phones to read the menu. It would be an easy fix to add a string of lights. Needed more coffee creamers. Two for 2 people was not enough

So in watching these vlogbrothers videos I just realized something.
Over Christmas break I was at a Barnes and Noble here and I picked up a copy of John Green's new book (The fault in our stars. GO GET IT) and saw that inside it was signed in green sharpie. Yes I remember the color because I remember useless crap.
I thought it was fake.
I literally thought it was a stamp or something, this was pre me becoming a nerd fighter.
I already loved his books but had no idea of his signing all 150,000 copies of the first printing of this book. I wish I had bought it right away when I had seen it. I would have a book signed by John Green. And I would be eternally fangirling.

5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts
BALTIMORE ( Stockpickr) -- Trading stocks that trigger major breakouts can lead to massive profits. Once a stock trends to a new high or takes out a prior overhead resistance point, then it's free to find new buyers and momentum players that can ultimately push the stock significantly higher.
One recent example of a successful breakout trade that I highlighted was home health services and hospice services player Gentiva Health Services (GTIV). In " 5 Stocks Poised for Breakouts" on Aug. 3, I mentioned that GTIV was approaching a big breakout if it could manage to clear some key overhead resistance levels at $7.24 to $7.33 a share with high volume.
Guess what happened? Shares of GTIV blasted through those overhead resistance levels with monster volume. The stock never looked back, and it went on to skyrocket towards its current price of $10.80 a share. That's a massive move higher in just a few weeks, and one that could have easily been traded with sound disciple in case the trade never triggered.
>>5 Stocks Under $10 Set to SoarTrading breakouts is not a new game on Wall Street. This strategy has been mastered by legendary traders such as William O'Neal, Stan Weinstein and Nicolas Darvas. These pros know that once a stock starts to break out above past resistance levels, and hold above those breakout prices, then it can easily trend significantly higher. With that in mind, here's a look at five stocks that are setting up to break out and trade higher from current levels.

Septic tank talks delayed until April
The Whatcom County Council, faced with opposition to certain parts of proposed ordinances requiring frequent professional inspection of on-site septic systems (OSS), decided to delay consideration until they meet April 1 as the county health board.
The 46-page On-site Sewage System Local Management Plan was developed by the Whatcom County Department of Health in response to state legislation that seeks to address failing septic systems, especially in areas deemed sensitive, such as estuaries.
At issue is the frequency of required inspections and that they be done by licensed and trained professionals.
The plan calls for inspections of complex systems every year and for less complex gravity systems every third year.
The cost of inspections runs from $150 to $300.
Council member Barbara Brenner has also been exploring the possibility of securing low-interest loans for homeowners whose systems are determined to have failed.
The county board of health will meet Tuesday, April 1, at 10:30 a.m. in the county council chambers. Copies of the current OSS regulations, the proposed management plan and other information is available online from the county health department at www.whatcomcounty.us or by calling 676-6724.

Chicago, IL (WKZO) – At this rate Miguel Cabrera should just remain out of the lineup until he is 100% healthy. For the second night in a row the Tigers were without their slugger in the lineup and for a second consecutive game they beat the White Sox 6-2 for their fourth win in a row and third straight over the White Sox.
The Tigers offense scored five of their six runs via home runs off of White Sox starter John Danks. The home run barged started early as Prince Fielder jacked his 17th long ball of the year in the first inning with two runners on. Austin Jackson followed up with a solo shot in the second and Torii Hunter hit his second home run of the series in the fifth, also a solo shot, increasing their lead to 5-0. Jackson, Hunter and Fielder each hit singles as well.
Also for the second night in a row the Tigers starting pitcher held the White Sox scoreless. This time it was Anibal Sanchez who went six innings striking out five while allowing six hits and walking just one and improving his record to 8-7.
Alex Avila had an RBI single in the sixth inning for the Tigers sixth run. Hernan Perez had two singles.
The White Sox finally got on the board in the seventh as Bruce Rondon gave up an RBI single Alexei Ramirez in the seventh. Drew Smyly allowed two hits but struck out the side in the eight pitch. Luke Putkonen gave up a solo home run to Dayan Viciedo for the White Sox final run. Joaquin Benoit got the final two outs to close out the game and move the Tigers to 12 games above .500 for the first time this season. The Tigers also increased their lead to 3.5 games over the Cleveland Indians for the AL Central lead.
Danks (2-8) took the loss for the White Sox. He gave up all six runs – all earned – and 11 hits while striking out three and walking one over seven innings.
Game Notes: Detroit manager Jim Leyland gave no update on Cabrera's condition and whether or not he will play on Thursday…Matt Tuiasosopo hit third again on Wednesday and was 0 for 2 with a walk and scored on Fielder's home run. Don Kelly manned the hot corner and was 1 for 4…Sanchez was credited with a quality start and the Tigers as team now have 56 on the year to lead the Major Leagues…Tigers look for the sweep on Thursday afternoon as Justin Verlander (10-7, 3.69) looks to rebound from a poor outing against the Royals during the Tigers last game before the All-Star break. Verlander was touched up for five earned runs in 5 2/3 innings while suffering his seventh loss of the year. Jake Peavy (7-4, 4.19) gets the start for the White Sox. Peavy has not faced the Tigers this year but was 1-3 with a 5.63 ERA against the Tigers in 2012. Coverage beings on 590 WKZO at 1:45 and first pitch is set for 2:10.

Chen Bo Lin dismisses dating rumours with co-star
Chen Bo Lin, who rose to fame for his onscreen heartthrob image in idol drama In Time With You, sparked dating rumours after his new movie co-star, Ting Xuan was spotting making frequent visits to the former's apartment recently. Media reports suggested the lovebirds have secretly developed a relationship one year ago.
The Taiwanese actor immediately denied this dating rumour online yesterday, claiming that they are just good friends, and have only known each other for ten months.
"We (Bo Lin and co-stars Ting Xuan, Jeff, Ralf) get along very well and will meet up for gatherings regularly," he added.
Self-proclaimed to be a low-key artiste, Bo Lin expressed, "I don't see the need to stir news in order to boost my popularity. It's the media who is fond of doing so."
Rumour has it that it was love at first sight for the duo after they met on the set of Bo Lin's new movie Machi Action. The couple allegedly kept their relationship under wraps and restricted their dates to the 30-year-old actor's apartment.
Ting Xuan used to work as a trainee at the China Airlines VIP Lounge. Taiwanese artistes Ella Chen and Mike He were charmed by her attractive looks and recommended the 23-year-old to enter the entertainment industry.

SPOKANE -- An adult in possession of graphic images of under age children can be charged with having child pornography. Local law enforcement says the law is the same for teenagers who "sext".
It isn't just adults who can get in trouble for sending or viewing sexual images of anyone under the age of 16.
Washington state law says even if both the sender and receiver of sexual pictures are under age, they could face criminal charges. That means if two 15 year olds are "sexting" pictures back and fourth both could technically be convicted of possessing and distributing child pornography. Part of their punishment would be having to register as a sex offender.
We talked to several teenagers who say texting sexual images is something that happens daily.
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office says charges against minors are few and far between because deputies often leave punishment up to the family.
We also talked to some parents, who worry parents won't take "sexting" seriously.

Consumer Reports released a list of its toilet paper ratings after testing more than two dozen products. In the end, it named the worst and best brands.
Three Wal-Mart products were in the top five: White Cloud placed first and is sold only in Wal-Mart stores. Wal-Mart's Great Value Ultra Strong was third.
Second place went to Quilted Northern Ultra Plush.
All three toilet papers rated high in softness, but the White Cloud 3-Ply Ultra Soft and Thick "combines softness with superior strength and disintegration".
The products were rated with machinery and "sensory panelists" on four criteria: strength, tearing ease, softness and disintegration.
The lowest-rated toilet paper brands included CVS Earth Essentials, as well as Whole Foods' 365 Everyday Value and Walgreen's Big Roll.
The eco-friendly Seventh Generation was soft but not as strong.

Newsbites: The people living in forests edition!
1. It turns out the rumours were correct: Cate Blanchett really will play Maid Marian in Ridley Scott's Robin Hood movie. The film, which stars Russell Crowe and was called Nottingham before it went through some extensive rewrites, "has evolved into a 'Gladiator' version of the Robin Hood legend. . . . Crowe plays Robin of Loxley in an origin story of Robin Hood that hews close to historical facts of the period. Abandoned as a child, he finds community with the common people of Nottingham. Robin's abandonment and trust issues hamper his ability to fall in love. He meets his match in Marian, a strong, independent woman." -- Variety, Hollywood Reporter
2. Eric Brevig -- whose last film, Journey to the Center of the Earth, was Walden Media's biggest hit outside of the Narnia franchise -- is going to direct the live-action version of Yogi Bear. -- Hollywood Reporter
3. Canadian actor Bronson Pelletier has reportedly been cast in the werewolf-heavy Twilight sequel New Moon. Meanwhile, series star Kristen Stewart is facing a backlash over suggestions that she regards Twilight as not a "great movie", but "just one that makes a lot of money." -- MTV Movies Blog (x2)

In short: Challenging hills, lovely scenery, great organisationDate of review: September 9, 2013
In short: Great eventIn full: Only decided to enter on the day as I was in the area. Fabulous event, but a VERY TOUGH route especially as it was exceptionally hot. Excellent organisation, with plenty of much needed water stations. My only criticism, I missed out on a T-shirt (heading straight for the water after crossing the line), despite the organisers promising to post me one out I never did get one. Perhaps I'll enter next year?Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Pretty route over undulating hills, very well organised, 5* marshals.In full: Thanks Witney Roadrunners for a well organised race over a really gorgeous course. The extra water stations were much appreciated in this hot weather, and there were lots of marshals giving encouragement at the top of the hills! Nice bright tech tee is a great memento. Was pretty near the back of the field when I'm usually in the middle, so seems quite a strong field for this one. Hope to return next year.Date of review: September 9, 2012
In short: Great scenery, friendly & well organised, but very hillyDate of review: September 18, 2011
In short: A lovely runIn full: I was a bit daunted when I first arrived at this race to find that 90% of people seemed to be affiliated with some club or other and were busy setting up their garmins. (Am not affiliated with a club and haven't run with a watch for a long time). That said, all the people who I spoke to whilst running seemed friendly enough and the marshalls were fab and there were plenty of them. The course was a bit challenging but not too bad and all on tarmac. I managed to come in in under an hour and a half but was still in the bottom 25%, so this is probably a run better suited to more experienced runners rather than beginners. Still, I had fun and would do it again!Date of review: September 12, 2011

I tried this for the first time on New years Day for my annual meal. I wanted to try somthing different so I thought about a sweet potato cassarole. I found this one while I was online in the store. It was amaxing. I used 4 cups instead of 3 ( by accident... I boiled too many potatos) and also by accident used a whole teaspoon instead of the 1/4 tea it call for. BUT it was SOOO great. My friends and husband raved about it for weeks. Thanks Paula
By christina on January 08, 2014
I tried this recipe for the first time this thanksgiving even though my family are not big fans of sweet potato. Well, let me just say that it was the only dish that there was not a drop leftover. My mom couldn't get enough and 3 people asked me for the recipe. I was amazed at how good it came out! I think it would also be great as a dessert. Just follow the recipe and pour into a pie shell. I plan to make it again for our new years eve party.
By Natalie on December 29, 2013
only put in 1/3 the amount of sugar, even added an extra cup of mashed sweet potatoes. Perfect.

Paula .... I sure hope you get this message You're a wonderful person And I've always enjoyed watching your cooking shows. I just want to say hang in there as you're going through the trials and tribulations that have come up in the recent past. Christ said, "he who hath not sin, cast the first stone." Sadly there are many stone throwers in this world today who just don't understand God's message. I'm sure if you rely on God and your faith everything will turn out well in the end. As a single father with an autistic boy I can sure tell you that I have experienced plenty of trials and tribulations these past few years.... I can say with complete conviction that everything always turns out for the best. BTW: I made your sweet potato casserole recipe for my family this Thanksgiving and everybody loved it. Thank you and God bless. Love, Andy & Nicholas Fietz

Long-Distance Effort Sends Panthers To Victory Over Broncos
Nov. 14, 2012
Box Score | Postgame Report | Player of the Game Interview (Audio)
MILWAUKEE - Sophomore Ashley Green set career-highs with 20 points and 14 rebounds and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's basketball team made 13 three-pointers in an 88-79 victory over Western Michigan University Wednesday evening at the Klotsche Center.
The Panthers (2-1) led the Broncos (1-1) by as many as 12 in the first half, but saw that lead trimmed down to two with just over three minutes remaining. But, a 7-0 run gave Milwaukee back the momentum and it went on to score 13 of the final 19 points to secure the victory in the home opener for head coach Kyle Rechlicz.
"I definitely think we have some great leaders on the floor," Rechlicz said. "Towards the end of the game we had our two seniors out there leading the group. Angela Rodriguez has seen a lot of minutes in her career and Ashley Green really stepped up again tonight. This is two games in a row where she is proving that she is a force to be reckoned with."
In addition to Green's double-double, senior Sami Tucker had 18 points and eight rebounds, junior Emily Decorah netted 15 on five three-pointers, senior Sammy Theut had 11 and junior Angela Rodriguez finished with 10.
The Panthers ended the night 13-for-18 from three-point range, with the 72.2 percent the second-highest in school history for a game (78.6 against Central Michigan in 2000). The 13 3's were also just off the program record of 15 in a game.
"We had it going tonight," Rechlicz said. "The reason we were able to get so many three's was our aggressive attack to the basket. I think we are a great three-point shooting team. I have told our team that I don't mind us taking 20-25 three's a game because sometimes I feel like that is what we are best at."
With UWM leading comfortably for most of the night, Western Michigan used a late 10-5 spurt to trim a seven point deficit all the way down to just two at 75-73 with 3:05 remaining. But, the three was again a dagger, as Rodriguez drilled one from the wing on the next possession to start seven straight points by UWM to put it away.
The Panthers shot 53.8 percent in the second half to end the night at a season-best 45.3 percent (29-for-64) overall. They forced 22 turnovers - including 17 in the first half alone - and scored a season-high 88 points. In fact, that point total was the highest in the regular season for a UWM squad since an 88-65 win over SIU Edwardsville back in November of 2008.
"We took away a lot of positives from this game, but also have some things now that we have seen on film that we definitely need to work on when we have these 10 days off coming up," Rechlicz said.
Milwaukee led by as many as 12 in an up-and-down the court first half and headed into the locker room with a 41-34 lead at intermission. After UWM had built an early lead and had it cut into, sophomore Janna Swopshire's pair of free throws capped a 10-3 run and gave Milwaukee a 30-19 advantage. Western would get a bucket back, but Decorah's three at the 3:38 mark gave the Panthers their biggest lead of the first half at 33-21.
The Panthers started by making five of their first nine shots and led 18-11 on a pair of free throws by Theut, courtesy of an early 7-0 spurt. The Broncos made a dent to get within 20-16, but Milwaukee came right back and extended its advantage 26-16 on a transition three by Green from the corner.
Aurielle Anderson led three WMU players in double-figures with 26 points, with Michelle O'Brien (10 points/10 rebounds) and Miracle Woods (13/12) each adding double-doubles off the bench.
Up next, the Panthers have 10 days off before heading to Puerto Rico for the San Juan Shootout, playing November 24 and 25. Game one in the tournament is against nationally-ranked Georgia Tech.

I used to see my mom with a hook in her hand quite a bit when I was little. My great grandma also used to crochet. When I was about 4 or 5 I took off with a ball of thread and a hook and hid in a closet. My great grandma came and sat in the closet with me and we crocheted together..my first chain and my first memory of having a hook in my hand.

Federal investigators are reviewing air traffic control and radar recordings at Nashville International Airport, trying to solve the mystery surrounding the crash of a plane early Tuesday from Canada.
The pilot, Michael Callan, died instantly, officials said, but the plane's wreckage sat undetected for several hours in thick fog.
Callan, a 45-year-old man from Windsor, Ontario, has the same name and date of birth as a man with a checkered past, including arrests for bank robbery and viewing pornography in public.
The Windsor Star newspaper reported a man with the same name allegedly committed violent bank robberies and viewed porn in a bookstore and on a public bus.
And a Michael Callan was also facing charges in Canada following a child pornography crackdown.
The pilot had several years of flying experience but should not, based on his qualifications, have been flying in fog at night.
Channel 4 also reviewed the air traffic control recordings and discovered a small, but potentially significant, few seconds of tape from the time investigators believe the plane went down.
"Nashville approach, say again, weak and unreadable," an air traffic controller says.
It was apparently the only communication during the approximate time around the plane crash.
The NTSB would not confirm those few seconds as related to the crash.
The full report on what went wrong could take at least six months to complete, but investigators are expected to release some preliminary findings next week.

by Date: October 28, 2011 Reporting From: Tokyo, Japan
Young people in bankrupt western nations do not have a particularly bright future. To put it bluntly, society is going to force-feed you a shit sandwich. Higher taxes, more debt, fewer prospects, and a much lower standard of living await you. That's if you stick around.
You probably won't be surprised to hear me say this, but I think that young people ought to consider getting out of dodge. The world is a big place and it's full of opportunities. Following the old way of 'study hard, go to a good school, get a great job, and work your way up the ladder' is completely dead.
Success today, whether it's in a job or owning a business, is all about creating value– what can you do that's so valuable to someone else that they're actually willing to pay you for it?
When you're in a developed country surrounded by hundreds of millions of people who share similar skills, it can be a bit competitive to do this. But if you take off for a developing country, you might be the only person in town who can do a number of things that might seem like second nature to you.
The great thing about being young is that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It's the only time in your life that you won't be saddled with other responsibilities.
As for WHERE to go? Part of it is a lifestyle choice… where do you want to be? But most of all, look where the growth is. Asia, Africa, Latin America. You'll find a happy medium that strikes a balance between growth opportunities and your personal desires.
I wrote about Mongolia last week, there are fortunes to be made there. If you're a real wild man, try South Sudan… they've been a country for all of three months. If you want a steady job and work experience, try China or Singapore.
Most of all, just expand your horizons and start to consider possibilities all over the world. Ignore your friends and family, they'll just try to talk you out of it. And then, in a few years' time when you're wildly successful, they'll pretend like they supported you all along.
Although he doesn't mention it specifically in this particular article one of Simon's top choices for expatriation is Chile. Check out all the reasons why at his website here.

Storm Sandy
United States
31 Oct 12
The devastating Storm Sandy that has hit parts of the Caribbean, Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States has claimed well over 100 lives across the area and left millions without power. Haiti is facing severe food shortages as 70% of crops have been destroyed by the storm, and US farmers will also undoubtedly be affected.
Many American delegates at Slow Food's event Salone del Gusto and Terra Madre, which concluded on Monday, are stuck in Turin and unable to return home due to the closure of international airports in the region. We have been reassured that the families and friends of staff from Slow Food USA's office in New York are safe.
Slow Food is active in many of these areas with a number of friends and convivia. Slow Food USA has dozens of local chapters across the northeast, with 13 in New York State alone. We would like to express our solidarity with those suffering through the disaster.

The Best Book on Ivy League Admissions
What's in the book?
Learn everything you need to know about Ivy League Admissions!
- A Step-By-Step Guide to a Successful Admissions Essay
- 5 Questions you're Guaranteed to Hear at Admissions Interviews
- How to Make your Extracurriculars Truly Distinctive and Outshine 95% of Applicants
- How to Avoid the 5 Top Mistakes Every Applicant Makes
- The Exact Strategies that Got Our Authors into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and more
We've been in your shoes before, and we've succeeded. We all had our weaknesses - for some, it was a low GPA; others, lack of 'Club President' on their resume, not taking an AP or IB class; still others went to schools where they were literally the first ones ever accepted into an Ivy League-caliber school.
Why are we doing this? Part of the motivation is seeing the helplessness and stress of our friends going through the process - from younger sisters to family friends to mentorship programs. We see you guys (and girls) asking the same questions and making the same mistakes. We feel like the path to admissions success can be SO OBVIOUS - but only once you've already been through it! We want to help - and after personally experiencing this ourselves, we know that Kaplan and Princeton Review can only go so far.
We've decided to share our stories, in detail, so you can learn our exact strategies, insights, techniques, and even materials that we used.
What do you have to do to get into your dream school? We can guide you every step of the way to your Ivy League entrance.
Getting into the Ivies is not just about tricks to writing an application: you need to work right, think right and act right for years. Our e-book, The Best Book On Ivy League Admissions, will tell you how to make yourself the most attractive student out there.
It's guaranteed to improve your chances to get into your dream school.
Now let's get started!
I'm a middle school student/high school freshman or sophomore. Am I too young to be able to use the guide?
The sooner you start focusing your activities on getting into the right schools, the better chance you have! We have sections of the book dedicated to the work you should be doing from the time you're in Middle School to Admit Weekend once you've been admitted.
I'm a parent of a high school student. Is the guide helpful for me? Is there advice specifically for parents?
As a parent, motivating your child to work smart, not just hard, is the best possible thing you can do for their chance to get into the Ivy League. Even if your son or daughter is not preparing their applications just yet, knowing this information as a parent can help them years in advance, so that when it comes time senior year to write those applications, they'll already have built a strong resume and won't be scrambling to make up the community service hours and extracurricular clubs they should have joined.
Does this book have advice for how transfer students can get into the top schools?
Yes! This book has an entire section dedicated to advice for transfer students. One of our experts, Tyler White, is a Stanford transfer from UMich, where he spent his freshman year. In addition, a lot of the overall admissions advice applies to transfer students as well, especially the essay, recommendations, and campus interview sections.

Activity in the tin market has slowed to a trickle, with no sign of a pickup in sight until at least the New Year, according to market participants.
"There's not much buying going on. It's extremely, extremely quiet," one trader said, noting that his large-scale company has a 2009 contract with only one steel mill so far. "Normally, everybody would have booked for the following year already. Absolutely nobody's booking."

Woodworker's Journal
"It's always been in our DNA to really engage with our customers, especially here in the U.S.," says Michael Williams, vice president of product marketing. "We're a relatively small company, so we have to be very much in touch with those who make a commitment to using our tools. Most of our customers are professionals who make a living with them, and that's where we set our bar. We not only want to help them learn how to use their specific tools, but even more importantly how to arrive at solutions for the work they need to do."
One way to focus on the "solutions" aspect was begun just two years ago, when the company launched a series of end user training classes. Williams says the idea grew out of the company's dealer training program, which it has maintained for years. At one point dealers wanted more in-depth training than merely the "nuts and bolts" of how to use Festool products, so Festool took a novel approach. The company started teaching its dealer network how to build things with the product line so the tools became the means to a solution, be it a cabinet, a door, a drawer or a trim carpentry project.
"Then customers found out about it, and they wanted that kind of experience, too."
Now Festool offers a half dozen different end user classes, ranging from finish carpentry to cabinet building and advanced routing techniques. Class sizes are kept small, with just six people per class and a trainer. The training takes place either at Festool's headquarters in Lebanon, Indiana, or a second site in Las Vegas, Nevada, over a two-day period. Meals and materials are provided for a tuition fee of $250. Students must arrange for their own transportation, but Williams says they're nabbing the opportunity to attend a class about as fast as new classes can be scheduled. Currently, more than 1,000 people are on a waiting list for future classes, "and when we post a new course schedule on festooltraining.com, the classes often fill in minutes. The response has been just huge for this kind of small group training!"
Customers are also eager for the opportunity to mingle with Festool staff and get their hands on the latest tools. Last year, the company held its first "Festool Connect" event in Providence, Rhode Island, concurrent with another trade publication's national event. "We had nearly 200 of our customers show up for the first 'Connect.' It was a great opportunity to share our new products and get their feedback," Williams says. Festool is planning another daylong "Connect" event in either February or March of next year, and early registration will be available online for it soon on Festool's web site.
But if you can't travel to Rhode Island, Indiana or Nevada for intensive training or hands-on time, there may be a live demo happening at Festool dealership near you. Dealer demos are ongoing, and Williams says they're usually hosted by Festool-trained professional contractors and other tradespeople and are open to the public. Click here to see a calendar of demo locations and dates.
Scheduled Festool events of these kinds provide helpful reactions from tool users, but so does unsolicited, candid online feedback. One very active Internet forum, called Festool Owner's Group (FOG), was begun in 2005 by a Festool customer. Four years later, the company took it under the Festool umbrella. But Williams says that Festool has left FOG largely alone so that end users can feel free to talk about whatever they want to with other end users -- be it about tools, projects or otherwise. And, he adds, that's why the forum works so well. FOG has garnered a global audience, sometimes receiving hundreds of posts each day from Festool users both in the United States and abroad.
"FOG is extremely organic ... we really only censor the forum for safety issues or obscene content. We do not take down negative comments about our tools, because we want absolutely honest interaction to be happening there. We learn a lot from it."
Occasionally Festool professionals and even company CEO Christian Oltzscher will post comments, but only as fellow participants in discussions in order to answer questions or offer clarifications.
Other forms of free online support include Festool's Facebook page as well as its 13-page "SysNotes" electronic newsletter, which the company sends out about 12 times per year. It also has an expanding presence on YouTube. "Festool Power Tools TV offers all sorts of end user produced videos about our tools as well as videos we create internally. They cover setup and usage issues, and some of them offer very detailed information about the finer points of our product line," Williams says.
Whether through dealer demos, a newsletter, intensive class sessions or a video that's just a few clicks away, Festool is committed to offering a broad base of end user support, and most of it is free of charge. While some may feel that Festool offers prohibitively expensive tools, even with a far-reaching network of support options, Williams counters the "Festool is too expensive" argument this way: "We absolutely believe that our tools are worth every penny and will pay for themselves, and that's what we want to show you in every way we can. We're happy to walk away from a sale if it's not truly the right tool for you ... and we've always offered a 30-day no-questions-asked guarantee." He laughs, "But people rarely take us up on that return option. Once they use our tools and experience the value we build into them, they're sold."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Kevin Frandsen hit 1 of Philadelphia's four solo homers to back Kyle Kendrick, and the Phillies inched closer in the NL playoff race with a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
Ryan Howard, Carlos Ruiz and Chase Utley also went deep for the resurgent Phillies, who pulled within three games of St. Louis for the league's second wild-card spot with their fourth straight win. Milwaukee and Los Angeles also stand in Philadelphia's way with 11 games remaining.
Despite the loss, the Braves are in excellent position to secure a postseason berth. Their magic number for clinching a spot was five, pending the outcome of the Milwaukee-Washington game.
Kendrick (10-11) allowed two runs and five hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking out six. He is 6-2 with a 2.17 ERA since Aug. 14.

Thank you for over 9.3 million views of the SuccuWiki!
Unholy Embrace (Novel)
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
Unholy Embrace is a romance/horror novel by Neil Benson. In this story, succubi appear at various times that the main characters interact with.
- Title: Unholy Embrace
- Author: Neil Benson
- Publisher: Night to Dawn
- Length: 204 Pages
- Format: Paperback
- Publishing Date: April 8, 2010
Plot Summary
Nessa, a 400-year-old alpha female vampire and her mortal lover Frank, discover a casual encounter can lead to deeper feelings. Before Nessa can explain the details of her life to Frank, they are attacked by two werewolves. Frank is horrified to see his beautiful lover turn into a horrible, lethal vampire.
Frank learns Nessa is engaged in a battle with a soul consuming demon that sent the werewolves after them. In an effort to track down and kill the demon, they must battle other vampires and more werewolves. Their romance survives the mayhem, but not without constant verbal bantering.
Critical Reviews
The following review is taken from the Amazon.com page in the External Links below:
- 5 out of 5 stars
- Get inside the vampire's head with this one!
- Reviewed On: June 29, 2010
- Reviewed By: Ellen C. Maze
Human Frank and Vampire Nessa make a lively pair. When Nessa pulls him into her life of vampires, werewolves and demons, he has his hands full just staying alive. Thankfully, Nessa is an extremely competent protector and she comes through time and time again to save his hide while she hunts down a despicable and dangerous ancient Chinese demon haunting Manhattan. Traversing the city at night to gather important elements needed to destroy the demonic force `Huli Jing', Nessa and Frank encounter danger at every turn. When the dust settles and their mission is accomplished, they fall off to sleep, ready to face the next evening with the same bravado that carried through the entire novel (I smell a sequel!).
Neil Benson has woven a sexy vampire tale with passion, adventure and more than enough vampire lore to entertain everyone who cleaves to this genre. The POV is shared between Frank and Nessa so that the reader is able to put themselves into both roles equally. A surprisingly provocative alpha female, Nessa's vampire point of view feels natural and believable. Benson worked quite a bit of her history into the telling which is a nod to the amount of research he put in to make his main character so three-dimensional. As her mortal and thus less capable lover, Frank also reacts in ways you'd expect someone would in his situation. He is an ordinary architect who happens to fall in love with a vampire just as she enters the battle of her life against a demon with deadly werewolf attendants. What luck!
This vampire tale will be one the reader enjoys over and over. Neil Benson is one to watch.

I folded mine slightly differently, but I really liked the outcome. Thanks for doing these videos for us, Sara!
easy and good looking .incredible!
Maybe I shouldn't be doing my first try out of 3.5 inch paper. I've seen the diagrams and it looks like it gets small.
[same person as above] Please don't tell me that size paper yields that size model D:
The resulting model is quite small compared to the starting size of the paper. So it's better not too use too small paper, especially for the first try.
-- Sara

Hi Cheryl,
