When our student leaders commit to our program, they are committing to a full six-month "cycle.†At the end of every cycle, we launch applications for new student leaders and we give out renewal forms for the current student leaders. Besides asking if the student intends on committing to another cycle, the form includes a handful of other questions that provide us with valuable information that allows us track the progress of our students and help our program become more effective.
Thinking about putting one together? Here are some questions that I would strongly recommend to you:
1) What is the state of your faith? Obviously, it is important to know where your students are at in their relationship with the Lord. Some students might be afraid to answer this question thinking that they might get kicked out if they aren't doing great at that moment. Encourage them to answer honestly, knowing that you are there to help them along no matter how good or bad their spiritual walk is.
2) Recycled Questions. One way to check progress is to reuse questions that are on your application. It is really interesting to compare their responses with what they wrote on their original application. My favorite question that we recycle is "what does it mean to be servant-hearted?â€
3) How has the Student Leadership program impacted you? A more straightforward way to check progress is to directly ask the student how the Student Leadership program has grown or challenged them. Greater insight into how they have grown as a leader and as a servant can help you keep them accountable with the lessons they have learned and it can equip you to be more helpful in finding leadership opportunities that they would excel at.
4) What have you enjoyed about the Student Leadership program? Ask them what works. Instead of tracking the progress of your students, this question helps you examine your program. When the time comes for you to switch things up and refine Student Leadership, it will be helpful to know the strengths of your student leadership model.
5) What can we be doing to improve the Student Leadership program? You can't refine your program without knowing where it can grow! This can be a scary question to ask, but the answers can lead to some really incredible changes. I love this question because it gives you another opportunity to empower students and allow them to speak into your ministry.
Does your ministry do something similar? What would you ask your students?

Many observers complain that the financial reforms proposed so far by Congress, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other government bodies in the wake of Enron Corp.'s collapse are a case of too little, too late. That's clearly so for Enron's shareholders and employees. But critics also worry that congressional hearings into the debacle amount to political grandstanding, and that any legislative or regulatory change in their wake will fall short of what's necessary to prevent future Enrons. Those demanding more draconian action have already blasted proposals by SEC chairman Harvey Pitt aimed at better oversight of auditors, for instance, as Band-Aids for the emergency room.
To address the growing controversy, CFO invited representatives of the SEC, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and Wall Street's nexus of banks, credit agencies, auditing firms, and investors to take part in a roundtable discussion of the issues raised by Enron. The participants were Peter Clapman, chief counsel for TIAA-CREF, one of the nation's largest pension funds; Cliff Griep, head of credit-ratings policy for Standard & Poor's; Chuck Hill, director of research for Thomson Financial/First Call; Edmund Jenkins, chairman of FASB; Ed Nusbaum, CEO of Chicago-based accounting firm Grant Thornton; former SEC commissioner Laura Unger; and Robert Willens, a managing director at Lehman Brothers. The roundtable was moderated by CFO deputy editor Ronald Fink.
Given the participants' divergent interests and agendas, it's no surprise that their views often differed as to potential solutions. Yet they reached something of a consensus on important issues. Accounting rules for special-purpose entities (SPEs), everyone agreed, should be tightened. And no one disputed the need to assure greater auditor independence in light of Arthur Andersen's failure to alert investors to Enron's problems.
But the assumption that reform must go much further struck them as counterproductive and even dangerous. The system may need repairs, but it's still the solution, not the problem, agreed the roundtable. So is the market, whose punishment of companies that indulge in Enron-like accounting may be the most effective deterrent of all.
Indeed, the roundtable expressed deep concern over the long-term consequences of what several participants labeled the potential "federalization" of accounting standard-setting. The fear is that due process could be distorted, if not stymied, by political interference. It's hardly an irrational fear, as anyone who is remotely familiar with how politicians have pressured FASB in the past knows. Accounting for stock options is the prime example, but political interference also explains why FASB's work on SPEs is unfinished, 20 years after the board first took up the subject.
Still, the panelists expressed confidence that, ultimately, cooler heads will prevail — and that the playing field of the capital markets will receive a necessary, but subtle, releveling.
We all know numerous proposals have been floated to deal with the implications of the Enron collapse. I'd like to go around the table and ask each of you, which are the most important proposals? What changes need to be made?

Out-of-the-mainstream congressmen come in all shapes, sizes and political parties. TV camera lights attract them like moths to a flame. Big ideas to advance the nation, compromise and even tempers are seldom seen in this breed of grandstander. This type can often be found on C-SPAN late at night, addressing a virtually empty House chambers. The topics are usually conspiratorial meanderings about one policy or another. These are the ideologues, the outspoken radicals on a grand mission to prevent the United Nations from overwhelming our shores or some such nonsense.
Residents of Alabama's 3rd congressional district have no such worries. Mike Rogers, the district's representative since 2003, is not one of those outrageous lawmakers furiously seeking out the spotlight. Rogers is a far more serious man, and we firmly believe he has little use for his colleagues' time-wasting antics that are all heat and no light.
Rep. Rogers keeps a much lower profile, chairing the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation Security, looking after his district's priorities particularly in the areas of Defense and Homeland Security spending, and performing the inglorious-but-important constituent-service duties of all local congressmen.
Yet, on the big national issues that divide Republicans and Democrats, Rogers is very much in step with his fellow Republicans in Congress. He is one more sturdy brick in the Republican wall of opposition to almost everything proposed by President Obama.
Earlier this week, Rogers said of the president, "When I have been around him, he strikes me as arrogant and disengaged." It's a remarkable thing for a sitting member of Congress to say about a president, and even more remarkable that it came from Rogers, who usually steers clear of such rhetoric.
Fear not, however, the congressman won't face any repercussions from his remark. It's become standard in modern politics; in fact, these comments are fairly tame in comparison to what we've heard over the past four years.
In this way, Congressman Rogers is one more cog in the machine. We suspect this is less a function of Rogers' whims than it is a requirement for holding congressional office. Analysis shows that the differences between the political parties have grown sharper in recent years. As a result, we find fewer moderate-to-liberal Republicans and fewer moderate-to-conservative Democrats. In our times, neither party can tolerate much coloring outside the lines.
For what it's worth, the National Journal ranked Rogers the 177th most conservative member of the House of Representatives, a ranking that puts him closer to the middle than all but two of his fellow members of Alabama's U.S. House delegation.
Of course, even if Rogers wished to strike a more independent legislative course, it would be extremely difficult. In recent elections, the surest way for a Republican incumbent to be voted out of office is to moderate from the strict party line.
So, Rogers strides along, comfortably holding a district where his strongest challenge would likely be from a fellow Republican to his right, not a Democrat to his left. That's the case again this year. Rogers' Democratic opponent is John Andrew Harris, a Lee County commissioner who is little more than a placeholder in the ballot.
If by some wild happenstance Harris were to win Tuesday, Alabama's 3rd district would be represented by an inexperienced congressman and not one with 10 years of seniority. That would be bad for the district.
So, we are stuck. On one side is an under-funded and lightly experienced politician who's never served beyond purely local office. On the other is an experienced congressman who generally looks after his district's priorities but is also just another puzzle piece in a larger ideological struggle.
Given our options, we recommend Mike Rogers. However, we'd prefer more options, so that voters have a wider range of viable choices, and so that Rogers could break free of the partisan restrictions that are stalling the nation's progress.

Justin Bieber may want to protect his hold on the teen fragrance market with a new scent.
He'll soon face competition from the English-Irish boy band One Direction, which is aiming squarely for Bieber's audience with the introduction of a women's scent next fall.
The five member band (think big hair, groomed brows, skinny jeans and pop ballads) have inked a licensing deal with Olivann Beauty, a spin-off of Fusion Brands Inc.'s Luxury Fragrance Division, to release its first fragrance and ancillary products. Bandmates Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson and the company have been working on the concept for about six months, said Dana Kline, president of Olivann Beauty. She added the fragrance will launch globally in fall 2013 at department stores, concentrating first on markets where the band is touring and then continue to roll out from there. More details, such as the name, will be released early next year.
The band, billed as a modern-day "British Invasion," has amassed legions of fans with upbeat pop songs like "Live While We're Young" and "What Makes You Beautiful."
One Direction, which rocketed to stardom on the U.K.'s version of "The X Factor," released its second album, "Take Me Home," on Nov. 13. It made its debut at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 540,000 copies in the first week, making it the band's second chart-topping album in less than a year.

I saw James Cameron promoting the Avatar 3D Blu-ray at a conference, and someone asked him whether the 3D effect needs to be adjusted for home viewing. He said that he felt no adjustments were needed from cinema to home. But perhaps other filmmakers/studios are taking a different approach?
If that is the case, it falls at odds with all the marketing for home 3D, which shows exaggerated images of things poking out of the TV screen.
BTW, have you checked out the credits in Despicable Me on your RS40?

Skewed in favor of Funimation titles and dubbed anime. Fairly obvious that few female fans participated in the nomination round.
- March 1, 2013 at 10:21 am(2) email@example.com says:
The shows may have been released in 2009 in Japan, but they were offered in in English last year, which is why they're featured here.
Please keep the discussion civil.
- March 5, 2013 at 7:37 pm(3) Frosty says:
While I do like FUNimation alot, I would have to agree with tuxedocat – this nomination round is extremely biased towards FUNimation and dubbed products. Would have liked to see titles like Ano Hana and perhaps some more titles from Sentai and the other distributors. Perhaps even having an Other option?
- March 5, 2013 at 7:44 pm(4) firstname.lastname@example.com says:
A number of non-FUNimation titles did show up in the nomination phase, which is why I encouraged as many people as possible to vote in that round as well.
- March 27, 2013 at 7:41 pm(5) Bans says:
Err, AnoHana was made in 2011….and therefore wouldn't be on the list? I liked how Another made it in the top 4….I was a big fan of that show. I'm in the process of watching Steins; Gate, myself.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.-- Now 26 years old, Lindsay Hoy hasn't seen her mother Rayne Perrywinkle, since she was 5. She hasn't spoken to her in more than a decade, when Rayne, then Kimberly, left her home in Australia for the U.S., then changed her name. "I just haven't had a relationship with her since," she said Through a Skype audio interview from Australia, Hoy told Action News' Noel McLaren she's devastated over the kidnapping and tragic death of her little sister, Cherish Perrywinkle. "I just burst into tears, I thought I'm not going to ever see my sister again or ever. I never met her before in my life and I'll never get that chance. It's been taken from me. It's horrible," she said. Hoy says she now fears the worst for her two remaining siblings. Rayne's daughters are now in the custody of the Department of Children and Families. She says her family in Australia plans to seek permanent custody, and that they weren't shocked when they found out the two little girls were taken away. "I knew it was going to happen and I think we all prepared ourselves for it," said Hoy. "We just want the best for those little girls and we want them to be safe and even though they don't know us we love them and we care about them," said Cathy Hoy, Cherish Perrywinkle's aunt and Rayne's sister. The Hoy family in Australia says they want to make arrangements to come to the U.S. and meet Cherish's sisters.

Basile told the Glasgow Daily Times that the idea he would be associated with such a movie made him sick.
"That guy is nuts to make a movie like that," Basile said.
Basile said he started receiving calls from media outlets last week asking if he was that Sam Bacile, a pseudonym for Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, the California man who made the film. The Kentucky Basile received seven calls in one day and his wife received some as well.
"It's kind of scary," he said. "They got my (cellphone) number. That means anybody could get it."
After he moved to Kentucky because of family, Basile became a cook with the Head Start program in Glasgow. Other than home videos of his children, Basile has no filmmaking background.
"I thought it was a joke at first," Basile said. "I hadn't seen the news yet."
Basile had given the phone to a family member Wednesday morning, so he didn't get the first phone call. After more came in, Basile decided he had better lay low.
"I got lots of family around here and I don't want to make any waves," he said.
Basile hasn't received any threats but he thought there was a possibility he would be attacked by someone mistaking him for the filmmaker.
"You know, I thought 'they'll look me up on the Internet and think he's in hiding in Kentucky,'" Basile said.
Basile wanted to make sure it was made known he was just a guy living in Kentucky, who had coincidentally lived in California more than a decade ago.
"Just let everyone know this is not the guy," he said. "I just happened to have the same name."

To honor the lives lost on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., the Georgia Gwinnett College Police Honor Guard has scheduled a flag ceremony for Sunday morning.
At 8:44 a.m., the honor guard will lower flags at the campus flagpoles. At 8:46 a.m., an outdoor chime will sound 11 times to mark the time Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
Georgia Gwinnett College President Daniel J. Kaufman commented that it's "an important time to remember those who lost their lives, their families and the first responders who dutifully sacrificed their lives to protect and serve the citizens of this great nation."
The memorial ceremony is open to the public.

I will argue to the contrary. There is a mountain of crime stats indicating it (do not ask me to provide it, it is available).
Intuitively, I agree with you Pego. The unavailability of guns probably wouldn't stop the determined nutjob from killing, but it probably would prevent spur of the moment murders, such as crimes of passion.

How do you define "assault weapons" in such a way that you don't ban guns like the Remington 742 semiautomatic 30-06 which can do everything that an AR-15 or AK-47S can do, but is more powerful than both?

the onset of toddlerhood inevitably comes the temper tantrum. Whether you call
it the "terrible twos" or growing pains, these upset outbursts in
public and private are definitely a normal, if annoying, part of healthy child
development. How you react, though, can affect how long your toddler's
emotional explosion lasts, in the short and long terms.
My older daughter,
Sabrina, was the queen of the meltdown from age 3 to about 4-and-a-half. From
hitting to throwing things to laying down on the front porch screaming at the
top of her lungs that she would not get in the car, if there was a way to throw
a fit, she used it. My response was usually the same: ignore her yelling until
she realized she wasn't getting what she wanted. Then follow up with hugs,
kisses and sometimes a good nap.
What are some tried and true tantrum tamers
you've found calmed your child? What do you do to make sure you keep your cool
when a meltdown comes on?
tell her d normal things
I always repeat back to them what I know they want and then give them a quick explanation why they cannot have it. With my youngest I simply walk away after that. With my older son I carry him to his room and tell him when he feels better he can come out. When it is over we go right back to playing.
My daughter has recently begun throwing tantrums. Being our first it has been a rapid learning process for my wife and I. My daughters crying and screaming breaks my wife's heart. While I prefer to let her continue until she realizes it will not get her what she wants from me, it is still very hard to sit through without wanting to pick her up and make it all better too. Each time she has a tantrum it seems what worked before doesn't this time. It can be trying at times, but together my wife and I work as a team to bring her back to smiles.
We do the same ignore...it's the only thing that works. Seems however, we never experienced terrible 2's.... just 3's and 4's I wonder where terrible 2 came from?
I've found that the whole idea of positive reinforcement works well to prevent tantrums from starting. When my kids are playing well together or they ask me for something without whining or throwing a fit, i'll praise them for it. For example..."You two are playing so well together! Laurel, I love it when you're so nice & you share with your brother! He is so lucky to have a big sister like you!" or " Cole, thank you for asking so nicely for a drink. I would be happy to get you one since you were so polite!" Kids love the praise & attention they get from you when they behave well & it makes them less likely to throw a fit to get your attention.
FarrellClanMom- Same here! Terrible 3's and 4's all the way. The 2's were saintly. :)
bflick1824- I do the same thing, especially concerning manners. I give tons of praise and as much attention as I possibly can.
Boy you guys are lucky! Jordan hasn't been 2 for a month yet and she's been firmly entrenched in the Terrible Twos for at least half a year already. Tantrums every day 'round here!
I thought I was lucky too until the horrific, rotten, evil 3's rolled around. :) I miss my sweet boy~! LOL.
Yikes! You folks are starting to spook me - if my daughter's having tantrums this early now I'm wondering what's in store for the next few years, lol. Here's hoping for the best !
Hi Im new to this i'm a mom of three kids. I'm new to temper tantrums my oldest son never had a temper tantrum. My question is how can i stop my 14 month old daughter to stop banging her head on the floor when she doesnt get her way? Im worried she might severly hurt her self and I talked to my ped and he said if she hits her head hard enough she will stop. But she hasen't. I put down pillows and tried to grab her as fast as I can. And my older son tries to. If you have any sugestions please let me know I don't know what else to do. Everybody says ignore it but I can't.
Strongdad- Maybe your little girl is just getting it out of the way. :)
My now 5 year old did that when he was younger but used the wall instead of the floor. What i used to do was take him by the arm( not mean just put it in my hand) and guided him away from the wall. On the occasion that didn't stop it, i did just let it go, i would walk away from him and ignore it( as hard as it was to do). Once he realized that what he was doing was getting absolutly no reaction from me(horrified or other) he would stop. They do grow out of that "phase". Good luck
Thank you I need it. She has been doing this for about a year now. I'v walked away but she still keeps on banging her head. And it gets worse when dad comes home from work and he don't pick her up right away. When will it end?

Florida's recruitment of defensive end Jeoffrey Pagan took a hit when he decommitted in November around the time former defensive line coach Dan McCarney left to become the head coach at North Texas.
Florida has since hired a new head coach, Will Muschamp, and a new defensive line coach, Dan Quinn, who will also serve as Muschamp's defensive coordinator.
Pagan's interest in Florida has since been sparked again by the presence of Muschamp, who previously served as the defensive coordinator at Texas.
"I'd love to be coached by somebody like that," said Pagan, who attends Asheville (N.C.) High School.
He has plenty of other options to consider. Pagan's list of schools includes Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and Clemson, which might be the favorite to land Pagan on National Signing Day on Feb. 2.
"For me, it's only an hour and 45 minutes down the road," Pagan said of Clemson. "They treat me like I'm one of their own. I feel like a home atmosphere there. Plus, my mom, that's an easy drive for her to come see me."
Clemson has been successful recruiting many of the same prospects being targeted by SEC schools. Guys like running back Mike Bellamy, wide receiver Sammy Watkins and linebacker Lateek Townsend might often end up choosing schools in the SEC.
The Tigers currently have 24 commitments for the class of 2011, which is good for ninth overall in the Rivals.com team rankings.
Pagan's visit schedule this month still appears to be up in the air. He visited Georgia last month but still has trips available to the other schools on his list.
Pagan told the Gainesville Sun he hopes to visit Florida on Jan. 28, which is the final weekend before signing day.

strangely enough i think ive also somehow earned dogar's respect
p.s. When are we playing that chess match
Well, I open my eyes and I see things. I've seen spirits moving through the walls. I've seen a vortex coming through the wall. I've seen amorphous little balls of light bouncing all around in the front yard through the window. I've seen giant bugs on the floor. I was in a hotel room in Amarillo, Texas, and all I remember is standing on the bed and seeing the whole wall in front of me filled with lights that were [makes popping sound] popping like popcorn out of the wall. Then I'll wake up and I go "Wow, I was standing on my bed and staring at this wall."
yea i think justin is equal to justin. everyone else is inferior
The chess match will be postponed until June now. NEXT TIME DON'T LEAVE PD RIGHT AFTER I MAKE A THREAD!!!

Absolutely the best sushi in Albuquerque. Chef James is a master. The staff members are considerate and efficient. The food is fresh and artfully plated. The sushi bar is immaculate

14810 Clayton Rd, Chesterfield, MO | Directions 6301738.626055 -90.512389
RUDE, INSULTING, AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE!! (CWE location) – Terrible service! Since I was meeting 8 friends, the host told me I could take 2 tables and sit at them while waiting for the others. After the first inning, the waitress (and then a manager!) told me if ALL my friends "don't get here in five minutes, we're giving you're table away." I tried to explain, but WAS TOLD I WAS "LYING" and that THEY DON'T TAKE RESERVATIONS BECAUSE OF "PEOPLE LIKE YOU [ME]." BY THE MANAGER. Even though a party of 20 had reserved the entire rooftop area. Another manager came to clarify the whole thing, although none of us ever received an apology. We'd already ordered drinks, and every place we called was packed so we stayed. All I had wanted to do was watch the Cardinals in the playoffs on my birthday!!!
Great MIZZOU crowd – This is a great place to watch MIZZOU games. They have giant TV's surrounding the bar and many MIZZOU fans to help cheer.
This place can be a jealous cougar hang-out, but lots of men.
Great Food & Service – We love going to Lester's for a number of reasons:
1. Nice, always clean, smoke-free and great sports-themed decorations. We especially love the wall of autographed baseballs and challenge each other to identify many of the autographs. In the main room alone there are 10 large flat-screen tv's and there are even more up in the bar area - always a good view to watch a game (or several games at once).
2. Servers: they are always helpful, friendly and very attentive, especially with our two children, which is very important to me.
3. The food is wonderful. The hot pastrami is as good as you'll find in town. The burgers are great and always cooked as ordered - even the turkey burger was juicy and tasty (never dried out). Their specialty is their pulled-pork, chicken and smoked meats - all are terrific, especially when you add either of their barbeque sauces.
A previous review said he didn't mind paying for good food but felt that Lester's too pricy. We ate dinner at Lester's in Chesterfield on 7.24.2010 - 1 hamburger wtih fries, 1 turkey burger with sweet potatoe fries ( the burgers normally come with chips, potatoe salad or cole slaw, so the fries were extra) , 2 toasted ravioli kids meals with applesauce and 2 kids drinks = $28. We've had dinner for four at fast food places and it's cost that much.
As a side note, we've ordered soda before and I don't ever remember them charging for refils! The only thing I think they could do to improve is to change their pickles - I'm just not a fan of the NY deli-style pickle (I'd rather have a standard dill).
We'll be back - hope to see you there!
Great food but not worth the price! – First let me say, my whole family really like the food and service. The interior was spacious and nicely decorated. I had always heard the food was good at the Ladue location but had never visited. The Chesterfield location at baxter and clayton is close to where we live.
Some standout items- buffalo wings, all star quesadilla, french fries, chicken strips, reuben and pork steak. Some so-so items- potato salad, guacamole(all you tasted was onion), cole slaw, beans(bland). My wife and our 4 kids (10 yrs- 1 1/2 yrs) got out of there for lunch for only $79.xx, YEAH! We got Buffalo wings apptz. Pork steak, Reuben, All star quesadilla which was the lunch special, Kids chicken fingers and two of our children split an apptz of chicken strips. One mountain dew and 4 waters. Thank God only one soda because they were $2.50 each. Not even served in a real glass, plastic Denny's type glass. Imagine $10.00 more bucks if we wanted soda. $90 bucks for lunch??? Good food- greedy owners, Won't be back unless being treated by freinds or family. I love paying for great food, price doesn't really matter, menu pricing fueled by greed however does not work in my book. In my travels both internationally and domestically this restaurant is among a few that have fairly good food but are to greedy in their pricing with everything taken into account (Location , Labor, Food costs and decor). I'm sure the owner will justify their greed internally just like Madoff did, however our judgement is at the gates to heaven not by the square foot of our house or size of our IRA. I'm not here to judge, just give my opinion. My opinion is they have good food but their price schedules are disproportionate to value of the entire package.

Women are starting their businesses at 1.5 times the national average.
The number of women who lead, both in the home at at the office, is at an all-time high. In fact, a recent study conducted by the Pew Research Center found that the public perceives women to be more competent as leaders than men. Cheers to that! So how do you stack up? Are you a natural-born leader? Do you have "executive presence?"
Whether you are are aren't, we'll help you get there in our January Alpha Woman Issue, which highlights all the secrets of strong, successful women. After taking the survey, you can enter to win a $100 cash gift card — and maybe buy that chic blazer you've been eyeing? Good luck, Alpha Woman...
Note: The survey closes Dec. 31, 2012.

I didn't finish the survey. Question 17 put me off, I couldn't care less about celebs, and that wasn't an option. But the lack of 'my husband, who is a home maker, cooks and cleans' options for 20 and 21, I just stopped caring, sorry.
Nice survey! More power to all the Alpha women out there!!! A lot of us today are Alpha women because we are career oriented, family oriented, we take good care of our minds, bodies and spirits and we out-earn our husbands. I'm looking forward to next month's Alpha Woman issue – it should be interesting.
Took the survey! Thanks!
There's a link after you submit the survey that takes you to the giveaway. Copy and paste it into your browser. The results of the survey will be published in January. It says at the beginning of the article.
Um... nothing happend
After I took the surve, nothing came up. I just wasted 5 minutes for nothing!
I like this concept and that you're empowering women! Very cool. I took the survey. Excited to see the results. :)

Michigan's Sunrise Side greets fall color in late September, and the autumn hues usually linger until mid-October. This 200-mile route travels from Lake Huron's shore to a stunning stand of virgin forest, with lots of opportunities for wildlife viewing along the way.
Where better to begin a driving trip than in the Motor City? The home of the Motown Sound is the starting point for a 195-mile fall color route that skirts three waterways to the maritime city of Port Huron, and rolls through historic Southeast Michigan towns with connections to three pop music stars. The month of October is prime for viewing autumn hues at a variety of parks, and stopping to taste seasonal treats at cider mills along the way.
Catch the last spectacular show of fall color in East Central and Southeastern Michigan in October. There is plenty of see and do with the entire family in this loop of 150 miles from Bloomfield Hills, to Flint and back down to the Brighton area.
Here's a Capital idea: a fall color excursion that starts in the State Capital and takes in scenic farm and woodlands, rivers, and a unique geological formation that is about 300-million years old. The 150-mile loop is best enjoyed from mid to late October.
Pack the binoculars, bicycles and beach blanket for a fall color tour that takes in all the sights, from city scenes and sand dunes to wineries, farm markets and Lake Michigan sunsets. And don't forget the camera for this 195-mile West Michigan jaunt, which is best enjoyed from early to late October.
Enjoy this area's fall color by car, on foot, or in a canoe. The winding Au Sable River is the perfect waterway to paddle and enjoy the splashes of vibrant color against towering evergreens.
Catch the last act of Michigan's fall color show in the central Lower Peninsula near the state's border with Indiana and Ohio. Best enjoyed from mid-to-late October, the 155-mile loop travels through countryside known for agriculture, antiques and Amish communities.
Michigan's fall colors come first to the trees of the Keweenaw Peninsula, the state's northernmost point. The crooked finger of land that juts into Lake Superior puts on its annual show from about mid-September to early October in a stunning display of reds, oranges and golds that blankets the hills and ridges and forms colorful tunnels on winding two-lane roads.
If you're looking for fabulous fall color, look no further than Michigan--it's around nearly every bend in the road. We invite you to take time along the way to discover the many local U-pick orchards, pumpkin patches, cider mills, and autumn festivals for a real taste of the harvest season in Michigan.
This Western Upper Peninsula fall driving tour includes breathtaking vistas, country roads, waterfalls and a chance to walk on the Lake Superior shore. With ninety percent of the area forest covered, you are sure to be engulfed by a sea of reds, oranges, golds, and greens that tint the countryside from mid-September to early October. The colors outlined by the mountains, bluffs, and lakes form woodland rainbows around every bend.

She is, after all, a professional.
Miller has been racing competitively for almost as long as she has been snowboarding. She first strapped on a snowboard and joined the Telluride Ski and Snowboard Club (the local nonprofit kids ski and snowboard program) back in 2001, at the age of 13. She quickly climbed the ranks, consistently receiving invitations to compete at Nationals events then going on to qualify for the top-tier Race for the Cup series (part of the North American Cup, or NorAm, series).
Nowadays, she goes to college at Westminster College in Salt Lake City, and is finishing out her final year there as an economics major. She's also a full-time athlete, who has just accomplished her most lofty goal heretofore: Making it to the World Cup.
Being back home in Telluride for her World Cup debut is "icing on the cake," she says.
"It's a little bit intimidating, brushing shoulders with Olympians," Miller admits of her pending World Cup start. "It's a different caliber of racer who comes here."
Yet being able to compete on her home mountain for this, her first-ever World Cup, has been a blessing, she says. She gets to step away from the buzz of World Cup activity currently engulfing Mountain Village when she goes home at night to stay with her family – including mother Cheryl, father Bud, and siblings Sarah, David, and Andy –
who will all be on hand to cheer her on when she steps into the starting gate this Thursday.
Miller got her start racing with TSSC, under the direction of past-Snowboard Team coaches John Jett, Kirk Davis and David Glenn. These days, she trains with the recently formed FAST (First Alpine Snowboard Team,) currently based in Park City, Utah, with coaches Chris Karol and Srdjan Pantic and teammates Heather Herde, Patrick Hanna, and Gaelen Schiedel-Webb, and sister Sarah (currently a student at THS.)
Miller's competitive cache made major advances last winter, thanks to a sixth-place finish at the USASA (USA Snowboarding Association's) Nationals, and a 10th-place finish at the NorAm (North American Cup) finals.
She qualified for this week's Telluride-hosted World Cup through points accumulations from past events. It was only two weeks ago that she received a formal invitation to attend, however.
Miller says her goals for this week's PGS competition is to record her own personal-best times. Not letting the excitement of World Cup competition interfere with her performance will also be a major objective as she steps onto the course on Thursday.
"I want to race as well as do in smaller events, and keep calm and focused and normal so I can perform at my best," she says.
Keeping those pre-race butterflies at bay could prove to be a daunting task, with the international alpine snowboarding world's greatest here in Telluride competing against her. But then again, Miller is herself one of the international alpine snowboarding world's greatest too, as her presence on this week's World Cup start list corroborates.

"These announcements came out just absolutely beautiful. The dots are not metallic, but I prefer that they aren't. They stand out enough as they are. My baby girl is the focal point of the announcement, not the dots! But the overall design is just gorgeous and people have been constantly complimenting me on these. The texture, thickness, and print quality of the cards were perfect too!"
"Everything was perfect about this card... Colors, design, photo and paper quality... It was flawless. I ordered the cut-out design and it was gorgeous! I only gave 4 stars for delivery because I wish the production time was a little quicker, but overall this is a great product from a great company! Would highly recommend to anyone!"
"We found this card perfect for the announcement of my granddaughter Averey. It allows for photos on the back as well. It is super adorable and current for today. Love!"

"The colors were so vibrant and bright, and the options for text color and font style matched so well. The photo clarity was not as clear as I would have liked but it could have been due to the original photo submitted, it is hard to say. Overall, a really sweet looking announcement."

Customer Reviews
Simply Phenomenal - Both Paper and Pencil
"Reviews"? Where you're going... you won't need "reviews"... This app could have cost 10 times the price and I still would have made the purchase.
Save yourself the time of reading the countless stellar reviews and just download it - you will not be disappointed. Elegant design, uber-functional UI (user interface), and I can't even begin to detail how positive my experience was with FiftyThree's customer service has been - I had the pleasure of an entertaining exchange with the customer service staff via email about replacement parts for my Pencil due to my obscene use of the device which has become indispensable to me. I'm awestruck - love the way it writes and draws! I use both Paper and the Pencil stylus which I purchased via the website. - I scored the walnut one which is an absolute joy to use. I now use my Jot stylus to prop up the left side of my cable box which is missing a little rubber bumper and used to lean to the side a bit... I'll probably never use it again for its actual intended purpose now that I have the Pencil Stylus. To the Team at FiftyThree - Great job on the products... You've set the bar pretty high.... Please keep it up....
Lots of Potential, But...
This app is really neat, the ink and paint acts and blends very realistically. The rewind tool is inventive and easily accessible, however it can be touchy at times. In addition, the option to print all of your work into a physical book with the cover of your choosing was very nice. The color tool is by far my favorite part of the app, well worth the purchase.
However, the lack of layers is almost a deal breaker! Please add layers! Beyond that, there are only a few other small gripes I have with the app such as variable tool and maybe a few more tools like chalk, airbrush and paint(watercolor is really nice, but it's hard to beat good ole fashioned paint). The other bit is that compared to other professional apps with all the bells and whistles, this app is overpriced. This app is $8.98 for all the tools. Procreate and Sketchbook are $5.99 and $4.99 respectively, and are arguably better than this application. The price alone costed this app nearly two stars!
Is this app worth getting? Maybe? It still has room to grow and hopefully the developers at 53 become more proactive. I have ordered the Pencil 53, this may change the whole experience and I will update my review afterwards.
Paper is a game changer
The moment I drew my first line in paper I knew I had to have an iPad. In the years and updates since, I've only come to love it more.
Drawing in Paper is incredibly fluid and intuitive, the tools are perfect complements (and worth every penny), and the page motion and organization system is so beautiful that merely showing people the app has earned me more than a few art and design contracts.
People complain that there are no layers, that the tools have preset sizes, that the app doesn't do x, y, and z that another app does. All of those statements may be true, and yet it doesnt change the fact that while drawing in any medium will make you a better artist, creating with restrictions will improve your imagination.

Scotland Hate Crime Guide Scotland Cornerstone Document
Police Scotland defines a hate crime as being a crime motivated by malice or ill will towards a social group by
and describes hate crimes as being 'abhorrent and target marginalised and vulnerable members of our communities with devastating effect on both victims and their families.'
Police Scotland defines a hate incident as any incident that is not a criminal offence, but something which is perceived by the victim or any other person to be motivated by hate or prejudice.
The Offences (Aggravation by Prejudice) (Scotland) Act 2010 put hate-motivated offences against LGBT people, as well as disabled people, on the same footing as incidents aggravated by racial or religious intolerance (laws for which already existed). Stonewall Scotland's campaigning and years of hard work helped to secure unanimous support for this bill in the Scottish Parliament.
This law means that if you're assaulted or harrassed because of your sexual orientation or gender identity - if you get verbal or physical abuse, threats, or your possessions's graffitied or vandalised - and you report it to police, they have a duty to note the motivation behind what happened and take it seriously.
It means that when someone does something that's already a crime – from a breach of the peace right through to murder – for homophobic or transphobic reasons, sheriffs and judges can take account of this motivation in sentencing.
Every time you report a hate incident, that report gives the police a clearer picture of homophobic and transphobic hate crime, both in your community and across Scotland. Telling someone about what happened means you're standing up for your rights and those of other LGBT people in Scotland. When you report the incident, the person you report it to will also be able to put you in touch with support services, if you want or need them. Every report that's made plays an important part in raising awareness and changing attitudes for the better.
We know that one in six lesbian, gay and bisexual people in Scotland have experienced a homophobic hate crime in the last three years, however three in four LGB people still don't report hate incidents to the police.

ALPENA - A new year does not mean new weather patterns, especially for those who are waiting for snow. Meteorologist Nick Schwartz of the National Weather Service in Gaylord, said Alpena residents can anticipate another winter with a lack of snowfall. He said the region currently has a snow deficit, which will be hard to make up and will result in below average snowfall.
"The big problem for this year is the lack of snowfall, which is attributed to the lack of lake affect snow and arctic air," Schwartz said. "Overall, there will be a lack of snow this winter across the region."
According to Schwartz, January, February and March will reach near or slightly above average temperatures with weather comparable to last year's mild winter, with slightly colder temperatures.

Patrick Boyle prepares for a chilly walk with his dog Sasha at Bay View Park.
"What you see is what we get, especially with the significant lack of arctic air," he said. "This season, Alpena had a total of 13.9 inches of snowfall. The normal amount for this time of year is 28 inches. We're seeing benign winter patterns."
Schwartz said 2012 was an exceptionally mild year and the warmest year on record for Alpena due to a variety of factors, including a mild winter.
"Last year, January, February and March were mild with light snow. Alpena also had a very warm summer. June, July and August had high temperatures," he said. "Overall, it was an exceptionally mild year across northern Michigan with typical amounts of precipitation."
Schwartz said current weather shows benign patterns with an anticipated snow accumulation of an inch or less for today, but said this winter's weather will be colder with below average snow.
"Alpena is transitioning into a relatively quiet weather pattern with little or no snow accumulation, just a series of weak moisture deprived systems," he said. "There will be a warming trend as we head into next week with high temperatures near or slightly above the freezing mark until the middle of January."

F1/J1 Visa Information
Applying for a Student F-1/J-1 Visa
Like all countries in the world, the United States has laws and regulations governing international visitors who are temporarily within its borders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) administer the immigration regulations. International students are those who already have, or will be applying for, a temporary United States Visa (most commonly the F-1 or J-1 Visa) to study in the United States. Therefore, it is important for you to understand the immigration rules as they apply to your student status. The government does not consider ignorance of the law a legitimate reason for failing to obey it.
Be sure to apply for a passport in your home country with first and last names that match exactly the first and last names on the education documents you will submit to WKU. Most passports are good for a limited period of time. Your passport must be valid at all times while you are in the United States. It is your responsibility to apply for the passport and to remember when it will expire and contact the nearest consulate or embassy of your country in the United States to renew it. Visit this directory of foreign embassies and consulates in the U.S. if you need to locate your home country's embassy/consulate to renew your passport.
When WKU accepts you for full time study or an exchange program of study, we will enter your information into the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and send you a SEVIS I-20 form (for F-1 Students) or SEVIS DS-2019 form (for J-1 Students) as proof of acceptance. You will use your SEVIS I-20 or DS-2019 to apply for an F-1/J-1 Visa and you MUST pay the SEVIS fee at www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/ using a valid credit card BEFORE you present the following documents to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in your home country to apply for the F-1/J-1 Student Visa:
- Valid Passport (for at least 6 months)
- Original letter of acceptance/admission from WKU
- Valid SEVIS I-20 or DS-2019 form issued by WKU
- Original copies of all financial documents [such as bank statement(s)]
- Proof of ties to your home country (such as a job, ownership of a property, etc.)
- Copies of all transcripts
- Copies of the TOEFL or IELTS and GRE (if any)
- Copy of your SEVIS fee payment receipt (see PDF file)
When you submit all items above to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate to apply for the F-1 or J-1 Student Visa, the Embassy will verify your information in the SEVIS system and decide whether to issue a Visa to you.
If You Are Denied A Student Visa
Please visit the U.S. Department of State Web site to learn more about the Visa denial.
After You Are Granted a Student Visa
The U.S. Embassy/Consulate will add a Visa sticker with your photo in your passport for permission to enter the United States for a specific purpose and period of time. Students are usually given an F-1 or J-1 Visa. J-1 Visas are given to researchers, scholars, and students. After having the Visa sticker in your passport, you must have the following documents to enter the U.S.:
- Valid Passport (for at least 6 months) with a valid F-1 or J-1 Visa
- Original letter of acceptance/admission from WKU
- Valid SEVIS I-20 or DS-2019 form issued by WKU
After Your Arrival to the United States
When you arrive at a United States airport, you will be asked to complete a form called I-94, also called the Arrival/Departure Record of Stay Permit. It is a small white card. This form is very important since it officially determines how long an international student can remain in the U.S. Students on the F-1 and J-1 Visas usually have their I-94 stamped "D/S" (Duration of Status), which means you can remain in this country for the length of time required to complete your studies as long as you follow all the regulations of the Student Visa. The 11-digit number written on your I-94 is your DHS-USCIS admission number, which is used by the USCIS to monitor your entry into and departure from the U.S.(see PDF file )
For more information about your entry procedure to the United States, please visit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

weezer covering "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead in the studio, 3 days ago.
with the B.O.M.B.fest gong tent still ringing in our ears, we packed up in Hartford and made tracks across the long state of Pennsylvania overnight, to make it to Pittsburgh in time to set up and play at Stage AE tonight.
Now the kids are coming in to the Stage AE, which as we've learned is a really neat mini outdoor ampitheater in the heart of the city, across the street from a classy sportsbar, with an ice cream truck circling the block incessantly. Its time for rock...

Dan, the openers last night were Triggers. They're local. You can find them on Facebook.
the show was fantastic, paranoid android was great, although like someone else said I would have preferred to hear some pinkerton.
my only question is, what were the openers called? they never said their name and I couldn't find it online.
