The National Orphan Train Complex, Inc. Annual Meeting will be held January 20, 2015 at 5:15 pm. This meeting is open to the public.
More information to follow.
The Museum and Research Center are dedicated to the preservation of the stories and artifacts of those who were part of the Orphan Train Movement from 1854-1929.
The mission of the National Orphan Train Complex is to collect, preserve, interpret,
and disseminate knowledge about the orphan trains, and the children and agents
who rode them. The museum's collections, exhibitions, programming and research
will engage riders, researchers, and the general public and create an awareness of
the Orphan Train Movement.
Current Exhibition:
Opening Reception has been postponed until a later date due to weather.
The Ledgers: The American Female Society Collection
Shaley George, Curator of the National Orphan Train Complex in Concordia, Kan. will unveil the newest exhibit at the museum on February 28. The public is welcome to attend this event, enjoy refreshments, and tour the museum from 1 to 3 pm.
From approximately 1834 to 1960 the American Female Guardian Society functioned as an all-female organization that hoped to improve the morals of New York City's underprivileged women. Beginning with the organizers bringing children and adolescents into their own homes for care and nurturing, by 1895 it operated twelve schools. Located in mid-town New York City, the orphanage operated by the AFGS was called the Home of the Friendless.
The new exhibit will display Mothers' Books which contain surrender information, entrance records, and history volumes that record updates after children were taken in. The information contained in the entrance records was required by law in the state of New York. The AFGS worked with other organizations in the New York area, including the Children's Aid Society, utilizing rail transportation to place out children.
The entire collection of 100 ledgers, including bi-monthly newsletters from the AFGS, was donated to the National Orphan Train Complex by Mr. Tom Riley of New York. The records had been stored in a rural area after the dissolution of the AFGS in the 1970's.

Caught between the government and the rebels, a Mexican shaman fights to bring his message to the world stage.
About this project
See the trailer here: http://vimeo.com/12906368
Keepers of the Earth uncovers the battle between environmentalists and indigenous tribes for Mexico's greatest natural wonder, the Lacandon Jungle. At the upcoming 2010 UN Climate Talks, will the rainforest be saved or will people fighting for survival win back their land.
Friends, we're making a feature documentary film!
Keepers of the Earth was born out of our lifelong love of myth and photography. After completing his BA in anthropology at Johns Hopkins, Aaron got a Fulbright Fellowship to Mexico. In January 2009 he set out for Chiapas in search of shaman. After finishing a BFA in Film Production at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, David journeyed to Chiapas with a camera, sound and lighting equipment in September. Together we have raised and invested over $20,000 and 2 years of full-time work. Now, six rising talents have joined our crew and we need $25,000 to get the team to Mexico for four months to finish shooting.
18 months of research and 60 hours of filming gave birth to 2 burning questions driving our work:
How do we choose between economic prosperity and saving our environment?
What place is there for a traditional way of life in the 21st century?
Keepers of the Earth is an inside look at the battle over transforming the earth's dwindling biodiversity into sustainable development. As the threat of environmental catastrophe mounts, biodiversity gains more and more traction as a hot commodity. Mexico is a mega-diverse country and keenly aware of the potential to turn green plants into green dollars.
Juan Mendez—humble peasant, refugee and Mayan healer—is caught between two warring ideologies. Though forced to work with both sides, he remains single-minded in his quest to revive his people's reverence for the earth. Will Juan find his voice at the UN talks and return to lead his people? or will he be consumed in the conflict?
After a rebellious youth, Rocio is striving to break with cronyism and turn decades of public resentment into trust. A coalition of farmer-activists aren´t buying it and aim to foil the effort. Rocio believes eco-tourism will bring prosperity to rural poor and reconnect urban society with nature. But farmer-activists suspect ulterior motives and intend to use December's UN Climate talks to discredit Mexican leadership on the global stage.
Keepers of the Earth documents the difficulties at the heart of sustainable development and the unwavering pride of Mexico's indigenous people in their daily struggle for land, ancient traditions and the right to join the globalized world at their own pace.
Why We Need to be in Mexico RIGHT NOW:
Now is the ONLY time we can tell this story!
-The 2010 UN Climate Talks are in Cancun this December:
Chiapas is facing increasing militarization
Authorities are ramping up forced relocation of indigenous settlers
-Rapid loss of biodiversity contributes to climate change and ravages our untold genetic heritage.
Here's What We Need Your Money For:
-A second camera, tripod, sound kit, and mobile lighting kit to achieve our artistic vision
-A web media coordinator and strategist who will develop our website and bring the details of our adventure to you through articles, videos, and images.
-Renting a house for our 8-person crew
-Buying a used off-road 4x4 for transport to remote shoots
-Food and incidental expenses for 8-person crew
In Chiapas Keepers is a tool in the movement for pragmatic dialogue aimed at breaking down 20 years of resentment between government and communities.
While focusing national attention on rural development, we will showcase the benefits of Cooperative Natural Resource Management.
Keepers is a tool to urge the international community to convene environmentalists and social activists around an environmental agenda that uplifts the world's poorest.
Working on this film has been a great challenge and a great joy. We look forward to sharing our challenges and joys with you as we move forward.

Additional Background Information:
The May 2008 G8 Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity Report ushered in a new era in global development. The report values global biodiversity at up to $4 trillion/year.
Biodiversity is a new kind of commodity with the potential to drive equitable growth and climate policy innovation. Indigenous peoples face an unprecedented opportunity for greater equity: their lands harbor the majority of the world's biodiversity. Will the world's indigenous communities harness newfound wealth or face another brand of exploitation?
In the battle against biodiversity loss and climate change, Mexican political leaders hope that the Cancun talks will cement Mexico's reputation as a global innovator in sustainable development. But Mexico's greatest biodiversity treasure is also it's poorest state, Chiapas. Twenty years of warring ideologies and tribal feuds have bread widespread deception and left countless families in ruin. Chiapas' Lacandon Rainforest is an environmental gem and the point of conflict between national interests and indigenous settlers who refuse to move.
Keepers of the Earth is an inside look at the tension between global priorities and local rights in the lead up to Cancun. Will the international spotlight offer an opportunity for compromise between divided segments of Mexican society?

Mix like a pro DJ with VirtualDek
Mix digital audio on realistic turntables with this DJ software.
The first disc jockeys discovered that using side-by-side turntables is the best way to cue up tunes for broadcast or dancing. DJing has gone from a skill to a performance under the hands of today's turntablists, but you don't need to invest in a pair of analog decks to mix beats like the pros with VirtualDek 2.2. This digital music suite uses two virtual turntables with realistic action to make playing and mixing MP3s, WMAs, and WAVs nearly as easy as cueing up vinyl tracks with a stylus. With a central mixing panel, syncing, direct monitoring, scratching, and adjustable beats and tempo, VirtualDek is about as close as you can come to having a full DJ console where your keyboard should be. Extras include a CD Ripper, CD Burner, Recorder, WAV Editor, and an Aux input channel. VirtualDek is free to try, though session time is limited to 30 minutes, and the software inserts a frequent audible message, "Welcome to the VirtualDek demo." We tried the latest version, VirtualDek 2.2, which has an improved installer.
VirtualDek's installer lets you enter a license key, but we chose the trial option. The full-screen interface features a background similar to desktop wallpaper with a program interface we could drag around the screen, but we were able to turn off the background by clicking Options, selecting Settings, and deselecting the background check box. VirtualDek's twin turntables are nicely rendered, as is the rest of the interface. A clean, efficient layout places the decks and mixing console above the playlist and track selection panel. The operation is very simple, and quite realistic, too: load a song, choose a starting point, and move the turntable's tonearm from the cue rest to the disc to start the platter spinning and your tune playing. A demo playlist containing two selections makes it easy to get started.
We had a lot of fun with VirtualDek, even though we just scratched the surface of its capabilities. The demo's audible message doesn't appear so frequently that you can't get a feel for the software, and the full version is a bargain compared with some mixing suites.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Virtual DJ Prophet 2.2.

Who We Are
Based in Tucson, Arizona, TFF is a U.S. non-profit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with no religious or political affiliation. While we do require host institutions to provide appropriate short-term accommodations for our teachers (described in What We Offer), we do not impose any fees for our services.
In 2002, the Teach for Friendship Foundation was created in response to requests from a leading university in Wuhan, China, for native-English-speaking teachers to strengthen their students' ability to converse in English and to build bridges of friendship between China and the U.S.
Since that time, TFF and its highly skilled volunteer teachers have successfully engaged thousands of Chinese university students, from a variety of fields, in short-term, interactive English conversation classes. TFF's programs in China have also included more specialized programs for a number of universities there, including oral English for "Young Professors" and medical and law students as well as professional development courses for Chinese teachers of English in middle and high schools. Recognizing the importance of TFF's work, China's Hubei Province honored TFF's founder and president, Bill Ingram, with its Bell Chime Award, the highest honor given for contributions to education and economic development.
In recent years, TFF has expanded its teaching programs to universities and other institutions in countries as diverse as Romania, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, and Chile. These programs have included the short-term, intensive oral English classes for university students and others, which are TFF's hallmark. In addition, building on the strong academic and professional backgrounds of our lead teachers, we have developed and led well-received professional development programs for university faculty; methodology classes for non-native English speakers who teach English in middle and high schools; and academic writing workshops for university faculty and graduate students. TFF has also developed industry-specific English classes for workers in the tourism industry as well as for doctors.

City Hall says no to Blackout 505 rally at Padang Merbok on June 22
10 Jun 2013 07:33pmKUALA LUMPUR, 10 June — City Hall has rejected PKR's application to hold the Blackout 505 rally at Padang Merbok on June 22. Kuala Lumpur Mayor Datuk Seri Ahmad Phesal Talib said the reason for the rejection is that Padang Merbok is in the city centre and a rally there could cause traffic jams since it is near several major roads. "The roads are Jalan Kuching, Jalan Raja, Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman and Jalan Parlimen. Also, Jalan Parlimen is a 'protocol' road which is popular with cyclists," he said. He suggested that the rally be held in a closed area such as Stadium Merdeka or Stadium Titiwangsa. Another reason for the rejection is that City Hall has to ensure that the landscaping in the area is not affected by the rally. On top of that, Ahmad Phesal said City Hall had received an application from the Olympic Council of Malaysia sent in on Dec 18 to hold an Olympic Run at Padang Merbok on June 23 and the organiser has to make preparations for the event a day before. "We will call for a meeting with PKR on June 14 to sort out the matter and give our views. The meeting will also be attended by the police. We will try to help them find a suitable venue," he said. – Bernama |

The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden".[1] In the medical sense it is used to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed"[2] may be one detected indirectly by the presence of otherwise unexplained anemia.
The word has many uses in the English language, popularly meaning "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable",[3][4] usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean "knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.[5] The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable.[6][7]
The term occult is also used as a label given to a number of magical organizations or orders, the teachings and practices taught by them, and to a large body of current and historical literature and spiritual philosophy related to this subject.
Contents |
Occultism is the term used to describe the study of occult practices including (but not limited to) magic, alchemy, extra-sensory perception, astrology, spiritualism, and divination. Interpretation of occultism and its concepts can be found in the belief structures of religions such as Gnosticism, Hermeticism, Theosophy, Wicca, Thelema, Satanism, and Neopaganism.[8] A broad definition is offered by Nicholas Goodrick-Clarke:
OCCULTISM has its basis in a religious way of thinking, the roots of which stretch back into antiquity and which may be described as the Western esoteric tradition. Its principal ingredients have been identified as Gnosticism, the Hermetic treatises on alchemy and magic, Neo-Platonism, and the Kabbalah, all originating in the eastern Mediterranean area during the first few centuries AD.[9]
From the 15th to 17th century, these ideas that are alternatively described as Western esotericism, which had a revival from about 1770 onwards, due to a renewed desire for mystery, an interest in the Middle Ages and a romantic "reaction to the rationalist Enlightenment."[10] Alchemy was common among highly important seventeenth-century scientists, such as Isaac Newton,[11] and Gottfried Leibniz.[12] Newton was even accused of introducing occult agencies into natural science when he postulated gravity as a force capable of acting over vast distances.[13] "By the eighteenth century these unorthodox religious and philosophical concerns were well defined as 'occult', inasmuch as they lay on the outermost fringe of accepted forms of knowledge and discourse,"[10] They were, however, preserved by antiquarians and mystics.
Based on his research into the modern German occult revival (1890–1910), Goodrick-Clarke puts forward a thesis on the driving force behind occultism. Behind its many varied forms apparently lies a uniform function, "a strong desire to reconcile the findings of modern natural science with a religious view that could restore man to a position of centrality and dignity in the universe.[14] Since that time many authors have emphasized a syncretic approach by drawing parallels between different disciplines.[15]
Direct insight into our perception of the occult does not usually consist of access to physically measurable facts, but is arrived at through the mind or the spirit[verification needed]. The term can refer to mental, psychological or spiritual training[verification needed]. Many occultists have studied science (perceiving science as an adjunct to alchemy) to add validity to occult knowledge in a day and age where the mystical can easily be undermined as flights of fancy. An oft-cited means of gaining insight into the occult is the use of a focus; a physical object, a ritualistic action (for example, meditation or chanting), or a medium in which one becomes wholly immersed. These are just a few examples of the vast and numerous avenues that can be explored.
To the occultist, occultism is conceived of as the study of the inner nature of things, as opposed to the outer characteristics that are studied by science. The German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer designates this "inner nature" with the term Will, and suggests that science and mathematics are unable to penetrate beyond the relationship between one thing and another in order to explain the "inner nature" of the thing itself, independent of any external causal relationships with other "things".[16][original research?] Schopenhauer also points towards this inherently relativistic nature of mathematics and conventional science in his formulation of the 'World as Will'. By defining a thing solely in terms of its external relationships or effects we only find its external, or explicit nature. Occultism, on the other hand, is concerned with the nature of the "thing-in-itself". This is often accomplished through direct perceptual awareness, known as mysticism.
From the scientific perspective, occultism is regarded as unscientific as it does not make use of the standard scientific method to obtain facts.
Occult qualities are properties that have no rational explanation. In the Middle Ages, magnetism was sometimes called an occult quality.[17] Newton's contemporaries severely critiqued his theory that gravity was effected through "action at a distance" as occult.[18]
Some religious denominations view the occult as being anything supernatural or paranormal which is not achieved by or through God (as defined by those religious denominations), and is therefore the work of an opposing and malevolent entity. The word has negative connotations for many people, and while certain practices considered by some to be "occult" are also found within mainstream religions, in this context the term "occult" is rarely used and is sometimes substituted with "esoteric".
In Rabbinic Judaism, an entire body of literature, collectively known as Kabbalah has been dedicated to the content eventually defined by some as occult science. The Kabbalah includes the tracts named Sefer Yetzirah, The Zohar, Pardes Rimonim, and Eitz Chaim. For a more exhaustive look at these subjects, see Kabbalah.
Though there is a popular myth that one must be a 40 year old Jewish man, and learned in the Talmud before one is allowed to delve into Kabbalah, Chaim Vital says exactly the opposite in his introduction to Eitz Chaim. There he argues that it is incumbent on everyone to learn Kabbalah - even those who are unable to understand the Talmud. Further, the father of the Lurianic School of Kabbalah, Isaac Luria (known as the Ari HaKadosh, or the Holy Lion) was not yet 40 years old when he passed away.
Christian authorities have generally regarded occultism as heretical whenever they met this: from early Christian times, in the form of gnosticism, to late Renaissance times, in the form of various occult philosophies.[19] Though there is a Christian occult tradition that goes back at least to Renaissance times, when Marsilio Ficino developed a Christian Hermeticism and Pico della Mirandola developed a Christian form of Kabbalism,[20] mainstream institutional Christianity has always resisted occult influences, which are:[21]
Furthermore, there are heterodox branches of Esoteric Christianity that practice divination, blessings, or appealing to angels for certain intervention, which they view as perfectly righteous, often supportable by gospel (for instance, claiming that the old commandment against divination was superseded by Christ's birth, and noting that the Magi used astrology to locate Bethlehem). Rosicrucianism, one of the most celebrated of Christianity's mystical offshoots, has lent aspects of its philosophy to most Christian-based occultism since the 17th century.
Occult concepts have existed in Hinduism from the time of the Vedas and it is ingrained into the Hindu thought.The Atharva Veda contains a number occult practices. They were supposed to be used to protect oneself from evil.
Tantra, originating in India, includes amongst its various branches a variety of ritualistic practices ranging from visualisation exercises and the chanting of mantras to elaborate rituals.
There hundreds of mystic amulets or Yantra in Hinduism for various deities.

Reverse one's upward course, descend. For example, When she saw the wasps' nest on the roof, she hastily backed down the ladder. This literal usage usually refers to something one has climbed, such as a ladder or mountain. [Mid-1800s]
Also, back off. Retreat or yield. For example, As the watchdog began to snarl the letter carrier backed off, or You have a good point; now don't back down when you present it to the board. [First half of 1900s] Also see back away, def. 2.

I feel that at $19.99, you're essentially paying for the game twice or at least close to twice as I thought this would be about $10-$15 just for the Wii U version. I'm taking into consideration that its a download only title and the fact that the past two M&DK downloads are around $10 each... My opinion though as my experience with the DSiware game (similar to this new game) wasn't that fun for me (at least recently)...

R.I.P. Ralph, and thank you so much for your contribution in creating such a wonderful industry!!
Dat Slowpoke theme doe...
I actually really like the music of the "Kawaii" themes (which is why I got the black and white polka-dots theme a while back), but I have NO IDEA why Nintendo decided to put relatively scary Mario enemies as part of the cute themes...
THEY NEED TO MAKE A DISCO BOO THEME!!!!! It would have boos dancing in a club with the same music that SPOILERS played in the Paper Mario: Sticker Star disco boos fight! I WOULD SOOOOO BUY THAT!!!!
Wait... If you have to get both smash games before November 13 for the sound track cd, then nobody will be able to get outside of reviewers... (Take the hint)...
Iwata may have fallen, but he had a fairy on him, AWWW YEAAAAAH!! I'm glad he's feeling better and even came back a bit lighter, good for him!
I still need to know what they do in other games before I jump on board. Also, how many games they'll be compatible with. I don't really care much for the figurine part of it as I do for the DLC that each of them offers.
I passed on Mario Kart 8 due to not having anything fresh or new but passing up on riding in the worlds of or riding as characters from F-Zero, Animal Crossing, Excite Bike, and The Legend of Zelda is TOO MUCH to pass up... I'M GETTING MK8 IN NOVEMBER!!! ....If the packs have enough new/revamped tracks on them as well. I've owned every Mario Kart so old tracks would really have to be revamped to matter to me.
Sorry Capcom, unless if you just now realized they infringed your patent, it's too late to intercept Koei's (and other companies for that matter) Uno in my opinion.
Why didn't you guys wait one more year for the 20th anniversary to do this article? It probably could've been more special...
I thought you were supposed to fight veggies... What's up with the soda ridin' polar bears and french toast?
Super Toy Cars is calling my name... I need a review before making a final decision because I heard of some bad quirks this game has on Miiverse...
I'm really hoping it isn't just a Corneria clone or Venom clone because they should just put those in as past stages...
I really liked the difficulty of the first one because it had me and my cousin on our serious gamer modes when playing it but I'm wondering if the difficulty slider allows you to slide it up to original levels or higher...
I think I'll pass on all the amiibos if they don't really do anything for the games supported that makes them worthwhile... I'll need to know more how amiibo works in Smash also factoring costs of each amiibo.
Downloading Dillon's Rolling Western! Thanks, Nintendo! I'll see if platinum can be achieved this year as well!
If you haven't played DK returns yet, I'd probably get that one but Game & Wario could be great with more than 3 people. I haven't tried returns 3D, but I've heard that the framerate is better on Wii and I also haven't tried NES Remix to give an opinion...
Can anyone help me out, please? I don't know what to get... Dillon's Rolling Western, Earthbound, or a retail game to sell...
REMEMBER EVERYBODY, they're bonuses for buying the games you were gonna buy anyways! If you're buying it for Club N, well then you're not exactly doing it the best way in my opinion...
Toon Link is driving the train in the spirit tracks stage but is replaced by alfonzo if he's chosen to fight so let's not count out Cranky Kong just yet.
@Mus1cLov3r Happy Birthday, bro! They should give you Mario Party 2 for free for this special day. (kidding ) Not a bad idea to break out the M party though.
Umm... the music is the same in my eshop... Am i missing something here? (Yes, I updated it last night).
"Wish you had a Game Boy / Girl like this?"
EDIT: I like how a lot of the guys above are staying "on topic."
I'll see what I can do to get Paper Mario this month (not enough coins... for now).
If anybody is wondering whether or not Kid Icarus is good, it's a hard platformer that has shooting elements and I really liked it enough to play it to the end. Why don't you give it a chance? (I played the 3D classics version).
Am I the only one that actually likes singing along to the songs at the end? This was a good mini-series but it still didn't convince me on getting the game... Even the demo didn't make it seem worth the asking price... I hope that there are other mini-series in the future as they're pretty cool (from what I've seen outta this one).
I feel like they should make a kids react video for those old Wind up telephones. THAT would be hilarious, "How do you go on the app store on this?!"
Near the beginning of the video, "...why can't it be called Game Boy Girl?" Ay yai yai...
I think Trevor was the kid that thought you were supposed to build your way up in Tetris? XD
!!! Anybody else notice Bowser's shell!? 0_0
My brother got Luigi today and let me have one of the stickers it came with. I didn't really see the figure that good though to be honest.
It depends on format (Download or retail), cost, amount of content, and variety whether or not I'll pick up Captain Toad. Even then, I'm not sure...
From what I've heard, it's better to play this game in short bursts. I'll pass 'cause that's not my style. I really wanted to get this game but it really seems like it'll become repetitive... Animal Crossing got boring for it's repetitiveness and I'd regret picking up this game if it had that same problem too soon.

Western Illinois
With Kill At Hospital, Minnesota Tops WIU 29-12
With Minnesota coach Jerry Kill at a hospital after a seizure at halftime, David Cobb and Rodrick Williams each rushed for two touchdowns to lead the Gophers past Western Illinois 29-12 on Saturday afternoon. Kill has epilepsy, and this is the fourth time in three seasons with the Gophers he's had an episode on game day. The scene of Kill writhing back and forth on the sideline is always jarring nonetheless, and the sluggish Gophers (3-0) found themselves trailing 12-7 until late in the third quarter.
Gophers Still Trying To Get Passing Game Going
Minnesota has scored 95 points over the first two games, and the Gophers have barely mastered the forward pass so far. That could be a good sign. If sophomore quarterback Philip Nelson and the rest of the offense find a rhythm with the aerial attack to supplement what has the potential to be a rugged, productive running game, the Gophers will be in good shape.

Apr 14, 2012 Unprecedented Presidential Posturing Peter Schiff 321gold ...inc2 ...s -
April 16, 2012
"Last week, responding to President Obama's latest populist assault on the wealthy, I issued a commentary in which I explained why his ideas about American economic history were fundamentally flawed. As dangerous and erroneous as those views are, at least I can cut the President some slack for commenting on a subject in which he really has no basis for expertise. Hailing from academia and local community organizing, Barack Obama likely did not spend huge amounts of time boning up on economic history. However, there are other subjects where he should find firmer footing. Constitutional law certainly comes to mind. After all, Obama rose to national prominence based on his status as a legal scholar. He graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School, where he was elected president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He went on to teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School, one of the top ranked schools in the country. Based on these achievements, it is simply stunning that he made so many fundamental errors last week in his analysis of the Supreme Court's review of his sweeping health care legislation. Not only did he make grossly inaccurate statements with regards to the health care legislation, and the history of Supreme Court decisions that relate to it, but he also showed little understanding of the very purpose that the Court serves within the constitutional framework of the U.S. government. These remarks either indicate that a Harvard degree isn't worth the paper it's written on or that there is nothing Obama won't say to advance his political agenda." -

One of the remaining castaways may be forced to make a difficult choice to advance in the game.
The remaining castaways face a challenge that harkens back to the early days of the show and two tribal councils make for quick decisions to be made by some.
The latest Redemption Island Duel results in one person re-entering the game. A tribal merge causes some to rethink their plans.
One survivor distances himself from his tribe mates. A group of castaways plot to possibly blindside one of their tribal leaders.
Castaways learn if blood is truly thicker than water as a tribal switch happens and new alliances form.
One castaway looks to consolidate what he believes is his growing power in the game. Another castaway may sacrifice their chance at winning to save their loved one.
One survivor is confident that he is running the game to suit his goal of winning but is on the receiving end of harsh words before the next duel at Redemption Island.
Simmering family rivalries come to the forefront during an intense tribal challenge. One castaway's decision on what to do for the rest of the game has a tremendous impact on the remaining contestants.
morelessThe first duel is held at Redemption Island with the participants trying to do well enough to stay in the game. Despite earlier declarations, one tribe member reverts back to the attitude and form seen in the past.
morelessIn the season opener, two tribes are assembled composed of past contestants and their loved ones with the goal of being the sole Survivor and winning a million dollars.
The twenty castmates reunite with Jeff to talk about the events of the past season and the location for the next season of Survivor is revealed.
The remaining five castaways scramble to ensure their respective at the final tribal council but one person's dream of possibly winning the million dollars is derailed by a serious health problem.
One of the remaining castaways faces a decision that could be a game changer. A visit from loved ones stirs raw emotions for the castaways.
Two immunity challenges and two tribal councils force the remaining castaways to scramble as current alliances are tested and new ones may be formed.
Alliances may shift as "the three amigos" attempt to sway people to their side via carefully crafted lies and half truths.
One contestant's nerves are frayed to the point they may quit the game. A revelation looks to turn Tribal Council into one of the most tumultuous of the season.Â
Confusion is rampant in the camp when deciding who to vote out in the next Tribal Council - an easy target or try and potentially blindside another person.
The tribes merge into a single tribe and talk starts among some about potentially blindsiding a person at the upcoming tribal council.
Phillip's demeanor is starting to wear thin with his tribe. One castaway decides to share information with his fellow castaways that could change his future in the game and others.
Two castaways scheme to get their opposing number out of the game but a twist may foil one, or both, of their plans.
One member of the Favorites tribe becomes so agitated by perceived slights that a rampage ensues in the camp area.
Feeling low after back to back tribal councils, the Fans tribe must deal with hostile elements and unwanted visitors in their camp.
Unhappy with the tribal council talk, Shamar lets the Fans tribe know just how displeased he is. In the Favorites camp, Brandon threatens to create chaos once again and Phillip is wearing thin on everybody's nerves.
morelessFeeling internal stress, Brandon threatens to cause chaos for the favorites team.
This season is set in the islands of Caramoan and pits tens "fans" against ten returning "favorites".
Denise knows she is at the bottom of the Final Four alliance as Malcolm is not able to commit to a final three with her. Denise knows that Malcolm has the best chance to win the jury's votes, so she approaches Lisa and Michael in an attempt to vote him out.
Before the tribe's final vote, Lisa and Denise are on board to vote out Malcolm, but Michael considers going to the final three with Malcolm. On day 39, the final three enjoy a relaxing view of the horizon, a breakfast reward and burn down their shelter. That evening, the three face the jury.
morelessLisa reveals she would take someone she can ultimately beat to the finals, which Malcolm takes as a warning sign. The next morning, the Final Four alliance have a hard time believing that Abi has a real hidden immunity idol. Abi tells Lisa she is at the bottom of the alliance in an attempt to get Denise out. Lisa feels her vote could go either way and is waiting for the appropriate time. Later while on their reward, Malcolm, Lisa and Michael plan to be the final three. The next morning, Denise wakes up in pain but still participates in the Immunity Challenge. Before Tribal Council, Abi tries again to persuade Michael and Lisa to join her side. Malcolm feels confident that Abi is the next to go, but he doesn't know that Lisa is considering voting out Denise.
morelessAbi now knows about the Final Four Alliance but continues to lie about having a new hidden immunity idol. Meanwhile, Lisa doesn't know if going to the finals with Malcolm and Denise will work in her favor, but doesn't want to betray them.
At the Reward Challenge, the tribe mates are partnered with their loved ones. Malcolm wins the reward and chooses Lisa and Michael to have their loved ones spend the night at camp. That evening, Lisa's brother encourages blindsiding Malcolm and his idol.
But when Malcolm wins immunity, Lisa new plan will no longer work, leaving Carter and Abi as the two major targets.

This is a change from the September 1st deadline, which was updated during a past legislative session. Districts will then have until May 1st to submit an official affidavit with final ASCENT participant numbers for the 2015/16 school year, along with a list of participating students. After June 1st, districts will receive notification of the number of ASCENT slots that have been allocated to their district.

- Contact Michelle Camacho Liu at email@example.com or 303-866-6596 with any questions
Some important things to keep in mind to determine the number of slots you request:
- Who can request ASCENT slots?
- Student Eligibility
- ASCENT slots are not the same as headcount
- You are submitting your best estimate by Feb 1st and you have an opportunity to adjust
- Local Education Providers
- Districts
- District Charter Schools*
- Institute Charter Schools
*CDE, on behalf of the Concurrent Enrollment Advisory Board, recommends that if a school district is participating in ASCENT, a district charter school within that district should request ASCENT slots with their authorizing district.
Student eligible for the ASCENT program must:
- Complete, or be on schedule to complete at least 12 credit hours (semester hours or equivalent) of transcripted postsecondary course work prior to the completion of his or her 12th grade year*;
- Not be in need of basic skills coursework in their selected pathway;
- Have been selected for participation in the ASCENT program by his or her high school principal or equivalent school administrator;
- Have satisfied the minimum prerequisites for the course(s) before his or her enrollment in the course(s), and;
- Have not participated in the ASCENT program in previous years
*Note: Does not include Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Education Program (CLEP), prior learning, or experiential courses, unless these courses/experiences have been converted to transcripted credits on a college transcript.
ASCENT slots are not the same as headcount:
- 1 ASCENT slot = 1 full-time OR 2 part-time students
- Full-time = 12+ credit hours in fall semester
- Part-time = 3-11 credit hours in fall semester
- Home study students enrolled in ASCENT are only eligible for part-time funding
- Example: 4 students interested in ASCENT, 2 full-time and 2 part-time
- Request 3 ASCENT slots
You are submitting your best estimate by Feb 1st and you have an opportunity to adjust:
- After submitting this request, you have until May 1st to submit an official affidavit with your final ASCENT participation request.
- At that time, you will also submit a list of specific students that will be utilizing the slots.
- CDE will have a webinar before May 1st to provide additional information for submitting your final numbers, affidavit, and student information.

I have several pairs of leather barn and horse boots that get hard wear in dust bowl dry weather (10% humidity) to ankle deep mud, snow and ice. I'm just curious about other member's leather care routines.....Here's mine, specifically for leather when coloration, discoloration or darkening is not important:
Keep clean with saddle soap;
Routine applications of Bick's Leather Conditioner;
Frequent applications of mink oil; and
Occasionally polish with Cavalier polish or Meltonian.
I keep them dry, supple, crack free, and can generally have them re-soled and re-heeled before any leather wears out. If they get wet, I dry them slowly in a cool location, and then follow that with the above routine, perhaps even two or three times.
Can anyone add their routine? Do I have opportunities to improve? Do you recommend different products? I know we have a lot of different leather experts here, from holster folks to restoration experts..........
Am I on track here? Other ideas?

100 Favorite Handbags For Spring 2010
From left: Fendi, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton spring 2010
Always a cash cow category for design houses, the spring 2010 collections offer handbags in a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures. One of the most ubiquitous trends of the season — tassels and fringe — had major moments at Bottega Veneta, Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton, Derek Lam, and Gucci. Other details to note when considering purchases for this season: clear plastic and lucite (at Prada and Fendi, respectively), stingray skin (Givenchy), crochet and woven details (Carolina Herrera and Bottega Veneta), and contrasting colors (Versace and Proenza Schouler). Check out our selection of the top 100 spring bags from New York, London, Milan, and Paris in the gallery below.
