Funding Your Experience Abroad
Student Representative Program
Opportunities after Study Abroad
Financial Aid for Study Abroad
Students planning to utilize financial aid should be aware that federal regulations prohibit the release of aid before the beginning of the term (including Study Abroad Scholarships). The earliest possible release of funds is 10 days prior to the program start date.
Most forms of financial aid may be used to pay for study abroad program fees. If you are applying for federal aid and are already receiving your academic maximum amount of Pell Grant and/or Federal Direct Student Loans, you may not be eligible to receive additional federal financial aid for the winter or summer term if you remain at the same grade level.
If you wish to use your WKU financial aid to help pay for a study abroad program, here are the steps you will need to follow:
- Apply for financial aid by completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
- In some instances, a consortium agreement is required before aid can be considered for classes taken as part of a study abroad program. The Office of Student Financial Assistance will contact you via your WKU email if this is needed.
- Meet with the Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning (located in Grise Hall, 128) to determine the cost associated with your program. The program budget will be forwarded to the Office of Student Financial Assistance. The cost information will be used to determine your budget and financial aid. The budget is the limit of money you may receive for the program. Loans are generally the only type of aid that can be increased.
- If you wish to apply your scholarships to your program cost, send Andy Wagoner, Assistant
Director for Academic Scholarships, an email with your WKU ID and request that your
scholarships be applied to your program costs. His email is email@example.com.
This will count as a semester of eligibility. This notification should be sent by
November 1 for Winter and Spring Programs and March 1 for Summer and Fall Programs.
- KEES scholarship money may only be applied to programs which originate in the state of Kentucky. Also, WKU National/International Academic and Military Tuition Scholarships cannot be applied.
- For study abroad Scholarship information, contact the Office of Study Abroad and Global Learning at firstname.lastname@example.com or (270)745-5334.
- Your parents may increase their Parent Plus loan if they have been approved for the current academic year based on the cost of your trip. Your parents must notify Nancy Alfonso (firstname.lastname@example.com) if they wish to do so.
- Private/Alternate loans may be used to help cover study abroad program cost after other types of federal aid have been exhausted, Generally, a co-signer is required before loans can be processed and the loans often have higher interest rates than Federal Direct loans. The website for information is http://www.wku.edu/finacialaid/alternativeloansupply.php.

A Plumaged Pilgrimage: How Wild Turkeys Came To The Northwest
The turkey is a quintessentially American bird, exported from the New World like corn and potatoes. But the turkey is not native to the Pacific Northwest. The wild turkeys you may have seen here are part of the bird's comeback story.
The Northwest's wild turkeys are out-of-state newcomers. In fact, you might have lived here longer than turkeys have. A few were introduced in the 1960s, and then, "In the 1980s and 1990s, wild turkeys were brought into the Pacific Northwest," says This is Mikal Moore, a biologist with the National Wild Turkey Federation.
"The turkeys were released out of cardboard box. They were shipped in from various locations -– Texas, and other parts of the United States."
A big reason for establishing these new colonies was that turkeys weren't doing so well in the eastern US. Over-hunting and cutting forests for farmland drove the bird close to extinction in the 20th century.
But with the help of wild turkey settlements in the Northwest and elsewhere, turkeys rebounded. Now they number around 7 million nationwide.
And, bonus, says Moore: "Wild turkeys are wonderful on the plate. I think you'll find them very flavorful."
The introduced birds have had some conflicts with other species -– most notably, humans. Some western states have developed guidelines for handling the pecking, scratching habits of what they now call "nuisance turkeys."

Rebuilding the tool belt economy
Energy efficiency retrofits can provide a real help for construction unemployment explains CAP's Bracken Hendricks, who was the founding Executive Director of the Apollo Alliance, in this repost.
Yesterday President Barack Obama announced details of his proposed $6 billion energy efficiency rebate program, known as Home Star, at Savannah Technical College in Georgia. Informally known as "Cash for Caulkers," the Home Star program would provide immediate rebates of up to $3000 to homeowners who invest in making their homes more energy efficient. President Obama described how Home Star helps Americans on several fronts:
Now, we know this will save families as much as several hundred dollars on their utilities. We know it will make our economy less dependent on fossil fuels, helping to protect the planet for future generations. But I want to emphasize that Home Star will also create business and spur hiring up and down the economy.
With unemployment in the construction industry at almost 25 percent, it is imperative that the Obama Administration implement innovative, effective programs to spur job creation in what has been termed the tool-belt recession. The tool-belt recession has a deep and far-reaching impact on communities. Construction job losses touch every state in the union and hit local economies hard, spilling over to other parts of the economy as well. Job loss in manufacturing industries tied to construction is higher than in manufacturing as a whole. Many construction related industries have shed 20 percent to 30 percent of their jobs since the recession began. Jobs in the construction sector and related industries are suffering more compared to other parts of the economy. It is time for a national response to this tool belt recession. Here are some of the numbers:
- The unemployment rate for experienced workers in construction was 24.7 percent in January 2010.
- Total construction payroll employment has dropped by 2.1 million jobs since 2006, with residential construction down by 1.3 million, or 38 percent.
- For 2009, 12.4 percent of all unemployed workers were previously employed in the construction industry.
- There have been 134,000 jobs lost (10 percent) in construction-related retail, such as building supply stores and lumber yards, since December 2007, with 186,000 lost (14 percent) since July 2006.
With demand for construction jobs at near depression levels, stimulating consumer demand for residential energy efficiency is a smart business. It creates high-paying jobs for idled construction workers, boosts sales of American-made building materials, and saves consumers money. American companies are ready to hire back crews if we can jumpstart demand for projects. Home performance contracting for energy efficiency is one bright spot on the horizon for the building trades today.
Matt Golden, CEO of home performance retrofit contractor Recurve, and co-author of our study explains:
The tool belt recession is devastating. There is an urgent need in every state of the union to generate skilled, high-paying, long-term construction and manufacturing jobs to grow our economy. But there is hope. As an employer in the hard-hit state of California, I have seen my efficiency business grow by 60 percent, even as the construction industry has lost over 35 percent of construction jobs, around me.
It's time to launch a national Home Star program which includes incentives for homebuyers to invest in the energy efficiency of their homes, which will jumpstart demand for labor. Congress can quickly create jobs with policies to expand investment in commercial and industrial energy efficiency and financing for retrofit jobs.
Read the whole memo about taking on the tool belt recession here.
8 Responses to Rebuilding the tool belt economy
Besides the jobs, energy savings, boosts to the economy, etc. many buildings with energy retrofits simply work a lot better creating a win, win, win arrangement.
Gives some indication on how to move to an economy and society where people have decent incomes with a lower cost-of-living based on commonsense and reductions in waste.
Great post.
The CT Energy Efficiency Fund's Home Energy Solutions program (http://ctenergyinfo.com/category.htm?cat=n057d9f2) is an example of the proposed Home Star program on a state level.
It should be stressed that the savings are each year, every year.
When the program started several years ago, there were maybe two (?) companies that did this, now there are over a dozen. One outfit in particular started two years ago and is now up to 40 employees.
Less than 1% of the homes in CT have been done. The potential for job creation, savings in fuels and dollars, and reductions in emissions is huge.
I think the most importend factor in coming years is energy security.
Old energy infrastructure is just not capable to cope with the increase of destruction.
Add some energy to grid solution and your nation is a lot more stable, even under ruff conditions and in harmony with the electromobile.
Coal, fossil energy ĉompanys should adopt this solution and start invest into renewable energy sources. Florida just went with a hybrid facility.
Clean Energy Updates Take Power Plant for a Spin
By David Bois | Sunday, March 7, 2010 10:08 AM ET
Yup, it's a hybrid. But since it's anchored in place, the only place that it can take us is into promising new territory in industrial scale power generation.
Next step, morph the fossil plant into a bio-energy facility – with biomass to biochar aim. Pyrolyse organic materials and gain:
Biochar a powerful fertilizer and carbon sink. By products are ie. bio-oil.
Reduce organic waste
More sustainable agriculture
Enhanced soil, ie. better prepared flood/drought conditions with biochar enhanced soils.
Adds to food security
Carbon sink
Turn waste into money so to speak.
I live in Southern Illinois. It is coal country. But this is also the trailer park capital of America. Did I mention we have lot's of tornadoes? I'd like to see a program to replace trailers with low cost energy efficient homes. This could be a stimulus program or perhaps part of a C&T system in which coal power plants – of which we have plenty – could fund such conversions in exchange for carbon offsets.
However, in the long run, since smaller houses use less energy, high energy cost will mean small houses and fewer construction jobs.
4. Mike, " . . . program to replace trailers with low cost energy efficient homes."
Better yet, teach people to build their own homes. They'd save a fortune and build them the way they want; work better with minimal maintenance etc.; with bragging rights.
Think about passive solar, super insulation, environmental protection (wind and sun) from trees, etc., before solar energy machines such as concentrated solar and photovoltaic.
However, in the long run, since smaller houses use less energy, high energy cost will mean small houses and fewer construction jobs.
However if society were to index energy costs with all social services, including defense, universal health care, the whole shebang, all other taxes could be removed. No more deficit spending. Note GOP.) By implementing point of use sustainable energy production options people could have a "cash cow" in their yard or on their roof. The 40 hour work week could be cut in half or less. Many rural folks could drop out of the labor market completely and subsist on cottage industry or organic food production. Save money on efficiency in health providing, (better food and exercise), defense, (no war) etc. the cost of energy comes down. High energy consumers would be a asset to society as opposed to Carbon Stomp determent that leaves the working stiff to mitigate. The SUN would pay for all!
An, interesting article from New Scientist 20 February 2010 page 35:
Bright lights, bug city
Insect architects could help us build the eco-cities of the future
says Philip Ball
"In the heart of Africa's savannah lies a city that is a model of sustainable development. Its buttressed towers are built entirely of natural, biodegradable materials. Its inhabitants live and work in quarters that are air-conditioned and humidity-regulated, without consuming a single watt of electricity. Water comes from wells that dip deep into the earth, and food is cultivated self-sufficiently in gardens within its walls. This metropolis is not just eco-friendly: with is curved walls and graceful arches, it is rather beautiful too.
"This is no human city, of course. It is a termite mound."
There is tremendous opportunity in this realm for the dual objectives of employment and energy conservation. Plus there is the bonus of improved quality of life. I just rebuilt the envelope of my home, a tract house built 50 years ago in Santa Fe NM.
I added 50% to the square footage and a new high efficiency furnace. I replaced windows and doors, added 4″ of foam to the exterior walls and an R-40 foam roof. Last month was the first full month using a programed thermostat. I used 45% less gas than in any comparable month in the last 6 years. I heated the entire house to a comfort level never before achieved.
This is all blue collar work so there is no effective lobbying to promote this type of project. It is viable in most cities around the country where there are older houses and good neighborhoods.

Salt and Pepper Squid or Calamari With Cucumber Salad
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 6 mins
This dish could also be used with calamari. I have been looking for a squid/calamari dish that does not have Szechuan pepper as I am unable to find it. This recipe comes from The Australian Womans Weekly Simply Seafood book.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 500 g squid, cleaned hoods only
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 lebanese cucumber, sliced thinly (about 130 grams)
- 2 green onions, sliced thinly (also known as spring onions)
- 250 g cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1⁄3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped coarsely
- 1⁄2 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- Cut squid hoods along one side and open out. Using a small sharp knife, score inside of hoods in a diagonal pattern, without cutting all the way through. This will allow the squid to curl during cooking. Cut each squid hood into eight pieces.
- Sprinkle squid with combined pepper, salt and lemon pepper seasoning.
- Heat oil in wok or large frying pan, stir-fry squid in batches until curled and just cooked through. Serve squid with cucumber salad.
- Cucumber Salad: Combine cucumber, onion, tomato, nuts and mint in medium bowl. Add combined vinegar and oil, toss to combine.

The salad is to die for, very very tasty, we made it yesterday and today I feel like having the same thing. Our calamari, unfortunately, came out tough, so be careful when you're frying them as they become overdone soon. In the end we toasted a few pieces of bread because we found that the acidic taste of the salad was a bit difficult to take on its own (or with the tough calamari) and there was something missing. We will surely try this recipe again and I hope to master the skill of frying calamari not too much! Thanks a lot for posting, we love trying out new things.
Chef floWer, these were just perfect. My 11 year old son LOVES calamari (as do I) but not fond of the breaded deep fried style. These really hit the spot, texture and seasoning wise (we didn't make the salad but dipped the calamari in Tzatziki sauce). {Made and reviewed for NZ/AUS recipe swap #31, Aug. 2009}
This was a very fresh and light meal. I coated my calamari with flour, salt and pepper in a ziplock bag. I didn't use the peanuts due to nut allergy in the family. I cooked my calamari in the wok with sunflower oil infused with a clove of garlic. Another great recipe from Chef floWer.

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) Hundreds of Fiat workers in Belgium held a protest outside the company's headquarters in Brussels on Friday.
They were demonstrating against the sacking of five of their colleagues who last week took over a sales garage in a protest demanding higher wages.
The workers attempted to force their way into the building but were prevented by steel doors.
Some workers rang the doorbells to the senior management offices but received no response.
The demonstrators carried red flags and banners and chanted slogans as they blocked the building's entrance.
None of company management came out to talk to the workers.
Martin Villams, who is a member of the Fiat union in Belgium, said it was "unacceptable" that the workers who staged last week's demonstration in the garage had been dismissed.
"If you can be dismissed for serious fault just because you take part in social action then you don't any more have any right for collective action and collective bargaining," he said.
Villams said Fiat must abide by the "rules of the social dialogue" and hold discussions with its workers about their demands for higher wages.
The Italian carmaker has been involved in discussions over a bid to buy Germany's Opel, whose parent company is the stricken General Motors Corp, which filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday.
Fiat's CEO Sergio Marchionne said on Friday that the Italian automaker had not given up on reaching a deal for Opel, even though a rival takeover plan by bidders Magna International Inc. and Russia's Sberbank was moving ahead.

A man accused of holding a female informant against her will during a raid last month is arrested during a traffic stop in Tennessee.
According to the Warren County Drug Task Force, 47-year-old Lloyd Butch Skillern was stopped by a Whitehouse, Tenn. police officer on Saturday, March 31, 2007.
Skillern has been wanted since March 5, 2007. On that day the informant completed a controlled purchase of prescription drugs from Skillern. Following the sale he forced her to disrobe while he searched her for an electronic recording device. He then held her captive for more than half-an-hour and then fled the scene. She was unharmed in the incident.
Skillern was found inside a vehicle driven by 36-year-old Shylah Whirley of Bowling Green. Whirley was also wanted in Warren County on a charge of attempting to obtain a controlled substance by fraud.
Skillern is charged with kidnapping, tampering with physical evidence and trafficking a controlled substance.
Both Skillern and Whirley are lodged in the Sumner County Jail and waiting extradition to Warren County.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Super-Grind, part 1: Demolition, St Marc
Here's something new. We play a game for ages, show off everything we can find in it, video it, put it on the internet. We'll call it "Super-Grind" because it's late and I can't think of anything better.
We've been playing a bunch of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, so we're going to start recording everything to show off all the maps and modes. Below you'll be see Sam and I playing a game of the new Demolition mode on St Marc.
Demolition's a slimmed-back version of the classic shooter, in which your weapon changes for the next round if you kill an enemy in the current one. You don't "buy" anything.
The small map's one of eight new stages created created specifically for Arsenal, which includes both the Demolition and Arms Race modes. It has a single bomb-placement point in the centre, outside alleyways and central buildings. And a bunch of toxic barrels ripe for terrorising.
Watch and see. You can buy Counter-Strike: Global Offensive now.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.

Senior news: It's never too late
I was reading an online post from a young person asking if, at the age of 30, she still had time to make something of her life. When I read it I wanted to say to her, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! It is never too late. At the age of 60, 70, 80 or even 90!"

Senior news: Being realistic isn't giving up
Do we always have to act our age? Do we really have to stop dressing up for Halloween, or drawing with watercolors and crayons? Or telling corny jokes we have all heard several times before (but still find amusing)? If you are 92, should you really climb under the house when your wife is afraid she will have to call 911 to pull you out? (I don't think you really want to be the opening segment on the Channel 6 news: "Stubborn Geezer in over his head.")

Senior News: Enjoying the climb through your senior years
I came across this quote by Mitch Abom, journalist and writer best known for "Tuesdays with Morrie." "It's funny. I met a man once who did a lot of mountain climbing. I asked him which was harder, ascending or descending? He said without a doubt descending, because ascending you were so focused on reaching the top, you avoided mistakes. The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature," he said. "You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up."

Outside, its bouncers are smiling. Inside, its three bars supply 25 different beers. Terminal West is now Robert Shaw and Alan Sher's dream venue, built after years of throwing concerts inside a King Plow Arts Center gallery space that required them to rebuild and destroy their stage setup for every show booked. Their persistence inspired an avid following that justified the need for a permanent venue. Terminal West now resides inside a former 6,700-square-foot iron and steel foundry, and its back patio faces train tracks running parallel to Marietta Street. But the better view is inside - featuring a stage setup capable of illuminating and amplifying newgrass pioneer Sam Bush, New Orleans sissy bounce queen Big Freedia, and the most buzzed-about DJ/electronic music producer of the year, Skrillex.

On Monday, the Justice Department announced it would soon be implementing new and broader criteria for drug offenders seeking clemency.
Today, the Justice Department announced the new criteria. It is a welcome sea change:
The Justice Department is encouraging nonviolent federal inmates who have behaved in prison, have no significant criminal history and have already served more than 10 years behind bars to apply for clemency, officials announced Wednesday.
The new criteria:
- They are currently serving a federal sentence in prison and, by operation of law, likely would have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of the same offense(s) today;
- They are non-violent, low-level offenders without significant ties to large scale criminal organizations, gangs or cartels;
- They have served at least 10 years of their prison sentence;
- They do not have a significant criminal history;
- They have demonstrated good conduct in prison; and
- They have no history of violence prior to or during their current term of imprisonment.
Thank you Obama Administration. This is what change looks like. [More...]

Former Arkansas Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee is taking a lot of heat these days over his clemency decisions while Governor -- particularly that of Wayne Dumond. Huckabee's latest statement, released today, is here.
This is a complicated tale. For the facts of the Dumond - Ashley Stevens rape case, and why Huckabee might have had doubts about Dumond's guilt, based on problems with the scientific evidence and Stevens' identification of Dumond, there's no better source than the appellate court opinions on the case. Here are four of them:
TalkLeft contributor Last Night in Little Rock also known as John Wesley Hall, was Wayne Dumond's post-conviction attorney. In addition to seeking post-conviction relief in the state courts, John represented Dumond in his federal habeas actions, the pre-Huckabee clemency request and in the civil case against Sheriff Coolidge Conlee, who displayed Dumond's castrated testicles on a jar on his desk. John obtained a $150,000.00 verdict for Dumond for the tort of outrage. The Sheriff later died in prison while serving his own 20 year sentence for extortion, gambling and other crimes. (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, 9/26/96, available on Lexis.com)
An interview with John about Dumond's sentence commutation and clemency, the roles of former Lt. Gov. Tucker, Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee, Dumond's castration and his thoughts on Dumond's original rape conviction, from evidentiary doubts to the sentence disparity, follows:

HIV test: A test for the human immunodeficiency virus, the cause of AIDS. HIV tests are designed to detect antibodies to the HIV virus or the HIV virus itself.
The antibody tests are:
The premiere test that can identifies the genetic material, the RNA, of the HIV virus is called PCR (the polymerase chain reaction). PCR can detect an early HIV infection before antibodies are evident and determine whether a baby born to an HIV-positive mother will have HIV. A test similar to PCR testing, called the branched DNA test, also detects the RNA of HIV.Source: MedTerms™ Medical Dictionary

Ex-Google Chefs Cook Up a Start-Up of Their Own
Many Google Inc. executives and engineers who have left the Internet search giant have launched their own start-ups. That goes for former Google chefs Nate Keller and Mirit Cohen, too.
Their tale is classic Silicon Valley. The two chefs, who cooked at Google for several years until leaving in 2008, launched their own San Francisco-based catering company dubbed Gastronaut LLC that same year. The company's goal is to innovate with food using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible.
Now the duo are riding San Francisco's wave of start-up growth. Over the past year, Mr. Keller and Ms. Cohen's Gastronaut has become the go-to caterer for hot start-ups such as microblogging company Twitter Inc., online-education company Grockit Inc., mobile-payment company Square Inc. and local-reviews website Yelp Inc., among others. Such start-ups often offer perks such as a daily catered lunch to help attract and keep employees.
"We kind of think of [Gastronaut] as a start-up as well," says Maja Henderson, the office manager at Square, a 50-person start-up led by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, which began using Gastronaut as its full-time caterer in March.
Indeed, unlike other catering companies, Gastronaut has modeled itself on tech start-ups. In setting up their business, Mr. Keller and Ms. Cohen were advised by a panel of Googlers including Christophe Bisciglia, Google's onetime "cloud computing" poster boy who later founded enterprise-technology start-up Cloudera. Mr. Bisciglia says he advised Gastronaut on corporate structure and that he meets with the company and its other advisers every few months, "just like a board of directors."
In a reflection of the improving start-up economy here, Gastronaut's growth has taken off as its start-up clients have added more staff. Mr. Keller and Ms. Cohen now serve 300 to 600 meals a day, up from zero a year earlier. Their company has 14 full-time employees, up from two a year ago.
"We're turning people away now," says 34-year-old Mr. Keller. He and Ms. Cohen declined to comment on revenue or what the company charges start-ups for meals, though they say their entrees for special events typically cost $10 to $30 per serving.
Gastronaut has modeled itself after tech start-ups in other ways, heavily using social technology to promote its service. The company tweets its menu and kitchen activities every day, and keeps an active Facebook presence.
Ms. Cohen, 33 years old, says Gastronaut has had some offers of venture funding. So far, she says, the duo have turned those down and self-financed their business. "The food industry, unlike the tech industry, has very narrow margins—it would be like investing in apples and oranges," she says.

Songwriters: Dierks Bentley, Brett Beavers, Jim Beavers
For all the great heights Dierks Bentley has achieved with his best material, it's almost amazing how tasteless his up-tempo hits can be when attempting to tap into the party crowd demographic. At the very best, "5-1-5-0" is not as grating as over-the-top predecessors such as "Sideways" or "Am I the Only One." The production is surprisingly clutter-free this time around, while including the generous touches of bluegrass-flavored instrumentation that Bentley's records have often utilized.
Even then, the problem remains that "5-1-5-0" doesn't quite rise above the contrived paint-by-number feel that has plagued many of Bentley's previous efforts in this vein. A noteworthy problem is that the song builds its hook around a concept that, in all likelihood, relatively few listeners will understand. For those who don't know, "5-1-5-0" is the California Police Code for an insane person, which the song ineffectively attempts to stretch into a metaphor picturing a man driven crazy with infatuation over a woman he has met, while cheesy references to calling "the po-po" sound just plain hokey.
Though it shows some relative good taste in certain areas (and mercificully does not end in a canned barroom singalong chorus a la "Sideways"), "5-1-5-0" lacks the intangible spark needed to truly capture the good-time, escapist vibe that it aims for. Thus, it ultimately comes across as little more than mediocre radio filler.

Video: Watch Highlights From Tonight's Republican Primary Debate in Iowa
Spoiler alert: Newt Gingrich really, really hates the debt-reduction super-committee.
If you spent Thursday night watching Jersey Shore or Project Runway instead of the Fox News Republican primary debate in Iowa you missed a fiery exchange between Chris Wallace and Newt Gingrich over his evaporating staff, and some charming chatter about lightbulbs and dog food. Frontrunner Mitt Romney stuck to his playbook, reframing every question to criticize President Obama while doing his best to ignore everyone else on stage. Michele Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty did their best to destroy Minnesota's reputation for niceness. And, sorry, Rick Perry, but if you don't show up, everyone's gonna gossip about you.

The appointment of Louis van Gaal as Manchester United manager throws the futures of many of the squad up into the air.
United's new boss is a famously fiery character, forced out of both Bayern Munich and Barcelona despite having won domestic doubles in his first season with each.
That suggests that he will get off to a flying start at Old Trafford - but his history at both Bayern and Barca strongly indicates that any on-pitch success will come at the cost of terrific battles off it.
Throughout his career he has consistently alienated superstars - among them Brazil legend Rivaldo while at Barcelona, and France superstar Franck Ribery at Bayern - and upset the applecart with club chiefs.
In fact, far from being grateful for all he did, Bayern Munich's president Uli Hoeness once went on the record to say: "His problem is that Louis is not God, but the father of God. Before the world existed, Louis was already there."
It's hard to actually envision the level of arrogance that must have provoked such a statement. What's far less hard to imagine is that it will lead to clashes at the already-crisis-stricken Manchester United.
You can see where we're going with this already. If there's one player you would NOT back to keep his mouth shut and toe the line under a strict new regime, it's Wayne Rooney. And there is a very real chance that Van Gaal's arrival will also herald Rooney's exit.
Twice in the past four years Rooney has threatened to leave Manchester United; twice he has relented, and signed a new (and much improved) contract to keep him at the club.
But the bald fact is that Rooney has only surpassed 20 goals once in the last four seasons, and many people raised eyebrows at the generosity of the £300,000-a-week contract he agreed recently.
Several papers reported the Scouse striker's "fears" over Van Gaal's appointment in the last few weeks, suggesting that there could well have been a few off-the-record briefings by either the player himself or his agent. Van Gaal is expected to restore Robin van Persie as the Red Devils' number one striker - leaving Rooney either on the bench or being played out of position. In other words, the exact same unsatisfactory situation that almost prompted the England star's exit last summer. Rubbing a little extra salt into that wound, Van Persie is also expected to take over as club captain instead of Rooney.
Would Van Gaal really have the guts to sell off a United icon, however? We'll answer that question with an anecdote: during his second spell at Barcelona, Van Gaal was once challenged in the dressing room by players over whether or not he had the guts to drop the club's big stars.
He replied by dropping his trousers in front of the assembled squad before yelling that yes, he did have the balls, and here was proof.
United's stars can consider themselves warned. The likes of Shinji Kagawa and Ashley Young will be as good as out should Van Gaal attract top targets such as Toni Kroos, Thomas Mueller and Arjen Robben - but there seems a strong possibility that Rooney could be the biggest casualty of all.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A man upset over thousands of dollars in fees owed to a condominium association brandished a gun and took two association employees hostage before he was killed by a SWAT team, authorities said.
Patrick Dellisanti, 57, barged into the complex's clubhouse shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday and demanded to speak with an association employee. He told two women he was upset over the fees, waved a revolver in the air and shot at the ground, said Broward County sheriff's spokesman Jim Leljedal.
One of the women called 911 and authorities surrounded the clubhouse. Dellisanti released the two hostages unharmed about 40 minutes later, then emerged alone. Officers asked him to put his hands in the air, but Dellisanti pulled out the revolver, Leljedal said.
Deputies "were screaming at him to put the gun down, but he didn't seem to be paying attention," said Ross Torman, 30, a resident who watched the standoff from his nearby balcony. "He just put that gun right to his head and that's when they began to shoot."
Dellisanti was pronounced dead at a hospital.
Dellisanti lived with his mother, Edith Jemas, 80, who owned the condo in Pompano Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. Neighbors said Dellisanti did not appear to have a job and said his mother was ill and cared for by nurses.
Records show she owed more than $4,000 in missed maintenance fees, special assessments and late fees. Neighbors said the assessments were added after Hurricane Wilma hit in 2005. The association put a lien against Jemas' home on April 11.
A call to a telephone number listed under Jemas' name rang unanswered Friday.
Leljedal said officers are trained to fire when someone pulls a weapon. The officers who fired the shots will be placed on paid administrative leave as required under office policy, Leljedal said.

We stayed at Rose Gables last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We are novice B&Bers, and, therefore, don't have other B&B's to compare with. However, I cannot imagine it gets much better than this. To begin with, as it turned out, we were the only party that had booked a stay for this particular weekend, and had the whole house to ourselves. More importantly, however, they were planning to shut-down that weekend for "winter maintenance," but honored our reservation when I'm sure most would have attempted to re-schedule us or cancel! (Now that's putting your guests first!) We stayed in the Pearls and Lace room which is fabulous -- large bed, fireplace in the bedroom and one in the over-sized bath. The marble two-person bath tub is very relaxing and bubble bath and cozy robes are provided! We both found the bed to be quite comfortable and the mini-fridge made it convenient for us to keep our own drinks, etc. cold. Their collection of books, games and dvd's is vast so always something to keep you occupied. Baked goods, teas, hot chocolate, etc. in afternoon/evening -- and Laurie's cookies are quite yummy! As for breakfast, Laurie (and Liberty) are great cooks. One day, egg souffle with a great sausage, fruit, juice, etc., the next, eggs benedict (their own hollandaise!), a french toast that was fabulous, and all the trimmings. The proprietors and their family that were there for the weekend were friendly, and a joy to sit and talk with. So, all in all, have not even one negative about our trip to Rose Gables. And, for antique enthusiasts -- they have some lovely pieces and enjoyed admiring them!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- A romantic atmosphere is enjoyed at this Victorian-style home in a scenic mountain resort. The antique-furnished decor is refreshingly light and airy, clean and uncluttered. Well-designed suites feature fireplaces, cotton robes, VCR/DVD and CD players, balconies, lake and forest views, and much more. A delicious breakfast, served on crystal and fine china in the sunny dining room, offers daily variety. Stop and smell the fragrant roses and flowers in the English garden with wishing well and picket fence. ... more less

Baby rock monster by SeanAveryWatch

A speed sculpture I made for charity the other day. The theme was "nightly", so I made this baby rock monster crawling out of a a piece of creepy looking driftwood. It will be sent off to Sydney and auctioned off later next month.

I really love your work. I do stuff with dried gourds... Pyrography, engraving, beadwork. Lately, I have become almost fascinated with birds. How do you cut the CDs without n cracking?
Nice one! Some CDs shatter and some don't — it just depends on the quality of the plastic I suppose.
i like his eyes nice work man
