COMMERCE -- Whit Bazemore got just what he wanted Sunday afternoon here at Atlanta Dragway, a Funny Car finals victory over John Force.
Bazemore, who grew up in the Atlanta suburb of Buckhead, took the Funny Car crown at the 22nd annual Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals but more importantly to him finally won at the track he considers home and the place where he saw his first live drag race.
``To win here in Atlanta, this is a dream come true for me,'' Bazemore said. ``I can't even describe it.''
The toughest loss of Bazemore's career came here in 1999 when he lost to Force by one-thousandths of a second. On Sunday, Bazemore ran a 4.96 (310.41 mph) to Force's 5.59 (195.51 mph).
``To get that right for us today is a big thing and it means a lot,'' Bazemore said. ``It couldn't be any better than racing him in the final. I can't even describe it, it's everything.''
Force, the winningest driver in NHRA history, still leads the series points race, but Bazemore, who won for the second time in two weeks, moved himself from sixth to third. Bazemore won just one round in the first four races of the season. In the last three, he has won 10 rounds.
``We feel really good about where we are,'' he said. ``I've never won this early in the season, that's really cool.''
In Top Fuel, series point leader Larry Dixon extended his lead with a finals win over surprising finalist Doug Herbert. It was the fifth win of the seven-event season for Dixon, who ran a time of 4.63 and a top speed of 318.09. Dixon also won the Southern Nationals crown in 1996. Dixon, like Funny Car winner Bazemore, took home $40,000 with the win.
The feel-good story of the day was Don Sosenka, who qualified 15th in Top Fuel but advanced to the semifinals, upsetting No. 2 qualifier Tony Schumacher in the first round and No. 10 qualifier John Smith in the quarterfinals. Sosenka, a 51-year-old who had the best NHRA outing of his career, finally came up short in the semifinals, losing to Doug Herbert 5.02-5.62.
``We got lucky,'' Sosenka said. ``I just focused on getting the car from point A to point B no matter what our opponent was doing in the other lane. It was a lot of fun out there.''
Sosenka's wife Lana suffers from Dystonia, a neurological movement disorder.
``I am racing for my wife,'' said Sosenka, who doesn't have a major sponsor and has Mr. Magoo painted on the side of his car, said. ``We just want to make more people aware of the disease. I don't want a sponsor. This is just a fun thing for us to do and we're really laid back.''
In Pro Stock, Allen Johnson became the seventh winner in seven events this season by nipping No. 1 qualifier Greg Anderson in the finals with a time of 6.90 (200.92 top speed). Johnson earned $25,000.
Buford's Warren Johnson, the No. 1 qualifier, set a track elapsed time (6.811) and speed record (202.61 mph) in his first round win over Mark Pawuk but was eliminated one round later when Darrell Alderman beat him on a holeshot start. Johnson ran a quicker time than Alderman (6.878 to 6.888) but Alderman had a reaction time at the starting line that was two-hundredths of a second quicker and got him to the finish line first.
In Pro Stock Motorcycle, No. 1 qualifier Angelle Savoie won her first final of the season and 23rd overall, running a 7.16 to Matt Hines' 7.18. Savoie's top speed was 187.9 mph. It was the 27th meeting (18th finals meeting) for Savoie, who won $10,000 Sunday, and Hines. Hines leads the overall series 14-13 (10-8 in finals). Savoie, though, had the dominant bike this week. She ran the quickest elapsed time in each qualifying session and elimination round and took over the series points lead.
Former series points leader Craig Treble lost for the first time this season when Shawn Gann knocked him out in the quarterfinal round. This was only the third event of the season for the bikes category, which only runs at select NHRA events.

In awe of their expert packing skills, we sat down with Svbscription's Co-Founder and Buyer Andrew Apostola and asked him to pick the ten objects he wouldn't leave home without when heading off on a city break.
1. Steven Alan beach blanket. It's the perfect, light weight throw that can be used in any situation and tucked away into a small space.
2. Want Les Essentiels O'Hare Shopper Tote. A great mix between a casual bag and travel bag, dresses up really easy.
3. Mini Jambox by Jawbone. So small it makes sense to carry as you can never be sure what you're going to get at someone's house or hotel.
4. Suede Document Carrier by Paul Marlow. I use to use all sorts of travel wallets until I came across this document carrier with zip. It easily fits four passports, boarding passes and currency.
5. The White Briefs Anchovy T-Shirts. I throw a whole bunch in my suitcase wherever I go, they have a mid-length sleeve to they're easy to wear in any weather and instantly look casual and sharp.
6. Mamas & Pappas City Stroller. Wherever I travel I bring my two kids and my wife. It's mid weight so it's much easier to travel with than a clanking big bugaboo.
7. Yumaki Tooth Brush. Small and elegant, it lives in my dopp kit and ensures I never forget it.
8. Suited Magazine. I always have something light to read/view and this is what I'm reading right now, first issue from New York.
9. Le Labo Travel Tube. The French/New York fragrance brand has this beautiful travel tube to take your fragrances with you wherever you go.
10. Maison Margiela Stationary. Ok so, I don't really write with this every time I travel, but I like the idea of penning something important to someone on my next trip to Paris.

Welcome to the extraordinary world of Theo, a mystical forest dweller, whose wild antics and enchanting flute offer the listener the keys to inner bliss. Here is what people are saying: "This little gem is at once hauntingly familiar and utterly original. It is a classic, right up there with Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince as a fairy tale for grown-ups. To say it is suitable for all ages would be an understatement. It should be required listening for all ages." (David Katz, author of Round Trip). "Todd Calfin transmits a level of truth on par with Khalil Gibran and Paolo Coelho! He walks in a powerful lineage of truth-tellers with this beautiful parable of immense wonder!" (Loren Wheeler, poet).
©2013 Todd Calfin (P)2013 Todd Calfin
"REVIEWED BY LOREN EDWARD WHEELER (musician/poet)"
Todd Calfin transmits a level of truth on par with Khalil Gibran and Paolo Coelho! He walks in a powerful lineage of truth-tellers with this parable! I rank this audiobook #1 among all the audiobooks I have listened to so far. Bravo!
He clearly and consciously invites us to let go of all that stands between us and bliss as his story unfolds. There is a tremendous depth of experience and wisdom synthesized into this beautiful parable of immense wonder. This is a great service to the world, to tell a beautiful and humorous story, inviting the listener into an experience of wonderment and intrigue, while consistently radiating messages which are universally common and profound: love; truth; the journey of life; how to live in the world and enjoy the many splendors while being grounded fully in the natural simplicity of abundance as it is so effortlessly provided when we are open to receive!
His voice is like pure spring water - calm, clear, and nourishing. His Zen flute serenades are beautifully woven into the story and truly do transport the open-hearted listener around the globe where one receives clues into the Mystery of Bliss.
You are The Great Mystery experiencing itself.
I bow to Toddy and the light which he radiates. May we continue to feel this love which Toddy so eloquently transmits, and to spread its simple truth unto all beings and places at all times. Much love and aloha. My breath to yours, Toddy. -Loren Edward Wheeler

What is Ride The Rockies?
The Denver Post Ride The Rockies is an annual bicycle tour that takes 2,000 cyclists, assisted by more than 100 volunteers, on a 6-7 day ride through Colorado's Rocky Mountains each June.
Ride The Rockies' route is different each year, but always climbs a few challenging mountain passes and showcases the state's spectacular scenery. Daily treks can be as short as 45 miles or as long as 100 miles, but generally average 65-75 miles.
While the Tour route changes each year, the benefits and responsibilities of each host community remain the same. Benefits include publicity, positive economic impact, fundraising opportunities and a grant provided to an eligible non-profit agency in each host town by The Denver Post Community Foundation. Cyclists in 2016 spent an average of $250,000 in a 24-hour period in each town and many planned to return at a later date as tourists. Host communities provide alternative lodging, inexpensive community meals and entertainment.
Riders on past Ride The Rockies have represented all 50 states and 18 foreign countries. Ride The Rockies is a non-competitive event open to cyclists of all ages and participants are encouraged to ride at their own pace.
Proceeds from Ride The Rockies benefit The Denver Post Community Foundation. All funds raised are returned directly to Colorado nonprofits.
32nd Edition
The 32nd Tour will showcase the communities of Alamosa, Pagosa Springs, Durango, Ridgway (supported by Ouray), Montrose, Gunnison, and Salida. Beginning in Alamosa, the 'Gateway to Colorado's Great Sand Dunes', the ride will traverse through some of the same mountain passes made famous by the historic Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. From Alamosa, cyclists will cover 447 miles and ascend over 32,000' vertical feet, all the way to the 'Heart of the Rockies' in Salida. Keeping to tradition, the course will feature some of Colorado's most scenic and breathtaking views. Highlights of the route include: Wolf Creek Pass, Pagosa Hot Springs, Yellowjacket Pass, the Durango-Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, Hesperus Hill, Coal Bank Pass, Molas Pass, Red Mountain Pass, Ouray Hot Springs, Cerro Summit, Blue Mesa Reservoir, and Monarch Pass. Cyclists will be treated to some of Colorado's finest communities that host the Tour and the introduction of a new host town, Ridgway.
Ride The Rockies has added a "Government Springs Challenge" option to day five. Cyclists may choose to take the regular 32 mile route from Ridgway to Montrose, which will serve as a nice recovery ride, or they may opt in for some elevation while exploring an out-and-back route highlighted in the Official Montrose Visitors Guide in 2016, for a stage total of 51 miles.

Putting out an inquiry if anyone has tried their dim sum, and am curious how extensive the selection is.
BK's Kitchen
5492 Central Ave
(between I-880 & Timber St)
Newark, CA 94560
They claim to be one of those "made to order" places. Yelp's pictures and reviews makes it sound more like a HK style noodles/rice plates cafe with dim sum.
The only thing that caught my eye was that there was an ad in World Journal Chinese newspaper, stating that the dim sum chef came from Hong Kong's famous Lei Gardens chain (Tsim Sa Tsui East branch) but didn't state the name. Could this be a pseudo "Tim Ho Wan" (the one Michelin star el cheapo dim sum place in Hong Kong) a non seafood high end restaurant small place offering hopefully quality dim sum? Granted some of the Yelp reviews are not very promising, but then some probably expect more from a small shop.

Place your kitty photo here that you would like me to put up to represent our group for a month. I would like you to put one photo in, unless I find that it is hard to see because it is too small or blurry, and in that case, I will let you keep your spot, but I will ask for another photo.
I already have Miss August, so the first pic in this thread will be Miss September, or Mr. September.
Thank you!
OH, I forgot to mention that they eyes must not be white or a solid color.... I think someone once told me to turn off the flash, and I also found that if I took a photo, I would try not to take it head on. I would do it on an angle. Oh it took me several shots before getting one pic right.
Gulliver starts September.
I'm backward here. This is Miss Aug. Callie, who appears to be a brown Tabby.
Oh beautiful Aug &Sept cats, both so striking , Miss Aug is so unusual, gorgeous warm colours, and Mr Sept looking every bit the proud tom cat
When you see my iddy biddies, Eric & Jimi (twins) they are the same, tall skinny long cats, with big eyes, on a defined face, both black short haired, Eric though now has a white star just above his chest, they are so funny , think the "Simpsons" cat Mini is a beautiful long haired black cat, and boy does she know it!, Buni is a tux style black and white cat, very cute, well I think lol ,
just had to compliment Miss Aug, and Mr Sept . now I am off to me bed , night Donna xwendy k x
Gorgeous kitties for Aug. & Sept. Can't wait to see them posted up for the month.
Such sweet kitties!! Perfect representatives for the months of August and September I have cared for a lot of Tabby cats in my life and I don't think I've ever owned a brown one....Callie is so precious. Gulliver, you look like you have a kitty secret you'd like to share. Thanks for posting their pictures Donna!!
Beautiful cats!
Ladies Ladies
I am waiting for new pics that will start in October.
Remember, I am a fuss budget with the photos being clear, and the eyes being perfect.
Remember, this kitty in the photo will be seen by all kinds of people, and their opinion of this kitty might make them want to join our group.
While ALL the kitties are beautiful, not all photos are great, so even if you have had your kitty up, you are welcome to put another up. One photo at a time please, and if it is not a good one I will remove it and ask you to post another one.
I am hoping Wendy will get her picture up for October, but if you don't get a move on Wendy, others will be ahead of you. Ask all the questions you need to ask.....
This is Tori aka T.T. She is blind so her pupils are large most all of the time.
Deb ~
Tori is BEAUTIFUL! Her blindness doesn't take one thing away from her beauty. Her eyes are exquisite! I LOVE the large pupils.
Her eyes are perfect. When mine had blind eyes his eys were a solid blue color.
Tori is so lovely, she looks purrfectly relaxed and content, I think Tori might be a great contender for October xxxx
EEEEK Donna is after me with big words, lol, I am on it Donna, I dont mind when ever the photo I submit is chosen, I will be pleased if it gets chosen , Donna is so patient , with me honest lol x wendy k x
Thanks for all the sweet comments about my little girl It's okay for Wendy's kitty to go ahead ... I just thought I would submit a photo ... I feel the same as Wendy ... I would be honored to have her photo used at any time.
All of these kitties are just gorgeous and can't wait for them all to be representing our group. Hopefully we can see yours too Wendy very soon.
Hi Donna, I did another photo shot of Noss. I hope this one is acceptable enough. If not please let me know.
Awwwww .... look at that beautiful black coat!! So shiny
NOSS IS THAT YOUR CATNIP PILLOW , Wonder will you be October, ? or November? x wendy k x & XBuniX >(sitting on the arm of the chair looking at Noss's photo)
Wow, that's a beautiful picture of you, Noss!
Hi Donna,
I have a great October photo - one of my kitties sitting next to pumpkin, if you haven't found one already. I have plenty of others too...with 5 cats I never have any problems taking photos!! However, I'm having a problem posting photos here. Is there any special magic to it?! LOL
Thanks Joy
Noss, you are just gorgeous, was that picture taken after your bath, 'cause you sure look great?
Great shot of Noss. She will be Miss November. September and October are here on this page.
Joy, remember when you post a photo that as cute as a pic might be, it will be small, so that has to be taken into consideration. That means a pic with not too much stuff in it. I no longer have my old program to fix all that and do some work on the photos. It doesn't work with windows 7, and they want 80.00 for the upgrade..... I have another program but I have to figure it out.
Joy, I tried clicking on all your pics, and each one said pic not viewable. You are suppose to be able to click on the pic, and right click to copy it, then start a post, and right click to choose paste.
This was only copied. It shows up here but it is hard to say if it will show up there. This is the best Pic for Miss December. I hope it will work out since it is small. It should. If not, we will work something else out.
Thanks everyone for the comments on Noss. Yes Michela, she had her bath that day and when she dried off she was happy to find a big comfy clean bed & pillow, the dog's one that is. LOL.
Buni & Wendy, laughing so much at your comment of the pillow being my cat nip pillow. Don't I wish. LMAO~ Noss
Ok, thank you Donna!! I'll see if I can change the sizes or do some editing. Maybe I'll just have to take more close-ups!! My girls will looooove that!
Love all the kitty photos here - they are really beautiful cats! I love Tori's large pupils!!
Hi Joy, I don't think it has anything to do with the sizes now. A lot of us are having the problem of the thumb nail pics not enlarging... Some of mine will, but a lot will turn into red X's when I click on them. Care2 has not fixed it. If you try using photobucket it might come out better. That photo won't be much bigger on the group photo....
Maybe, you can try putting that photo in again. Some of the later photos worked out. That will be a good photo for the group pictures, and, I would like to know what the kitty's name is.
Gulliver is very handsome.
Just looked at the F&S group because I was having picture uploading problems and Eric said a bug has been filed and they are trying to fix issues that everyone is having with albums and photos. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Joy, I love your little white kitty's face!! How sweet Thank you for commenting on Tori's pupils ... she is a special little girl to me. Of course, they are all special, but ... well ... with her being blind and all ... she's got a big personality for a little bitty girl
Noss is very handsome, too. He looks a lot like our old cat, Sharkey, except Sharkey had white markings on his chest and belly.
Ok, Donna sounds good! I've been trying to add more photos to my profile with no luck either. My white lady (one of her many nicknames) is named Lacie. All my kitties names rhyme - I didn't plan it that way...LOL She was the one that had the ear infection that you all helped me in healing!
Thanks for the update on the photo glitch, Deb!! Yes, that's one of Lacie's "Another photo, mommy?" faces! They ARE all special...I have a soft spot for the blind/disabled. Did you know there is a blind cat (only) rescue? Not sure where you are, but I believe they're located in South or North Carolina (USA)! Their kitties are just adorable!!! I'll post the website, if you want to check it out. I think they have webcam where you can watch them "in action" too!!
Joy, I am an avid supporter of Blind Cat Rescue in North Carolina. I even have a link to them on my profile page. Pretty sure that is the rescue you are talking about. I've done some designs for them for sale items at their Cafe Press store. So glad to "meet" others who support them
Looks like our photo albums are somewhat working again
This post was modified from its original form on 28 Aug, 23:26
It's always nice to see animals by webcam.
That's wonderful, Deb!! Yes, that is the same rescue - small world!! They seem like a great group and they give these beautiful cats another chance - when a lot of places wouldn't.
I know, I have so many photos to post that I'm trying to catch up!! Think it was down for several weeks...
Take care of your cutie!
I wish everyone a nice long holiday weekend!!!! Hugs, Joy

Now Donna dont scream I managed to get an old pic of the twins, a pic of Buni, and a pic of Mini, into an album, on my profile ?, the tags are Buni, The Twins And Miss Mini, but as for loading to put in a thread no luck >Yet, tomorrow I have some time , so I am going to master this yet , who is the recent cat ? ^ above? looking alert lovely markings looks so sweet xwendy k x
ahem have a look at the photos in my album , Mini would make a good January , cause thats how we feel after xmas lol xxxxx
If I can get them in for you it won't be until February as Darla's kitty Shasta above, is already in the January spot.... I tried to see your pics earlier, but now I better go back and look at them.
My care2 album is SHOT. All that work for nothing.
I am now going back to photobucket, but I have to relarn a lot, and that is not the biggest
problem for me. I lost my compupic photo fixing program because it does not work with windows 7. I have to get use to another program that is free. CompuPic wants 80.00 to reinstate me, and well, that is not going to happen.'
It took me a while to get Shasta into a smaller picture. She is 400 by 337 I think. However,
something in this thread has widened it.
Your a star, Donna, I will be trying harder now my work load has lessened, if you do get a pic, have Mini's you will see why, perfect match for her personality lol , So sorry you lost your album very upsetting ,Compupic want $80? , whats care2 photo loader like? I have tried photobucket couldnt get the hang of it, again tomorrow some serious work, I would love to put the odd funny photo.
So thats Shasta , ahhh knew she was a sweetie, ok, back to finishing my emails, then some word games on here xwendy k x
This is Mini and she should be up for Miss February
It seems care2 must have fixed their albums, but anything put in there before the fix will not work. If you know how to copy and paste, all you do once the photo is in the care2 album
is to click on it, then right click to copy. Go to the post and start it, then right click and choose paste to put it in.
This photo and the one of the kittens together would be good, but the others are too small to be able to see when it is in the little square. You can post the twins after Mini is in in Feb.
I forgot to say that she is a real beauty ! Try putting your other photos in a thread by themselves. We use to have a this is my kitty and I am proud thread, but it vanished, so
just start a thread with Wendy's kitties in the title.
Oops, that pretty tiger kitty is darla's kitty Shasta. She will be Miss January.
Great picture of Shasta.
Great pics of Shasta & Mini.
Donna, thanks for posting Shasta's picture for me. And thanks to everyone for the compliments on her. I think she's a real beauty but then I am a bit biased! Mini is beautiful. I love her tongue sticking out!
Thanks Donna, I will give it a go with the twins further on, up the calender, that pic of Mini, really suits her personality, lol, I will get another one, showing her at the widow, soooo big headed -look at me the queen !!!!
Shasta is lovely Darla, and looks a real sweetie %#&!*%
Hilarious picture of Mini!
Darla, Shasta ia beautiful cat, she looks like a real sweet kitty.
Wendy, Mini is also beautiful and she really does look like the queen, love how her tounge is sticking out.
I love it when cats stick their tongues out.
I don't know if this is needed or not, but I thought I would post a larger picture of Lacie. I grabbed it when the albums were working, just in case they went back to not working. She is just beautiful, Joy
Thank you so so so much Deb. She is a gorgeous cat.
Joy, Lacie is a very beautiful kitty. Thanks Deb for making it larger.
Great picture of Lacie.
You are so very welcome, She is so sweet looking, and even looks better when the pic is bigger. Anytime you need help with anything like that Donna, you just let me know.
This is Pola. She is a daughter of Maya, my avatar.
Wonderful pictures....such gorgeous cats ♥♥
I love black cats! Karen, Pola's eyes are exquisitely beautiful!

Who is going to be October kitty? There are 3 black kitties ... should one of them be for October?
Thank you Deb. I have been running ragged and it slipped my mind. I have to see who is next.
This is my CB at my sons house when he was babysitting her.She is 20 years old,a Tortie & shes now blind which is age related but she does very well getting around.We got her from the humane society in St Louis Mo.She was my daughters cat while she was in college in US but emigrated to Canada because no pets were allowed in the rental apartment my daughter was in.She has always been very tiny but was always very fiesty & considered herself a lioness
Donna I just wanted to share my kittys photo,its not good enough for the cat of the month but its the only one I have to share
Penny, Cb 's picture not there!
The picture is not there.
Penny, you can try sending the photo to my mail box , and I will post it for you. If it is not a close up, then it won't show up too good for the group photo, but you can still share the photo. I will post it. I went to see if you made an album but you didn't, so there was noting I could do.
Sally, the picture of Noss is a good one. I thought Noss was up not that long ago. ????? Let me know, as I will have to get someone else for November, and you can go to the end of the line to be put up later.
I don't know who I posted on there that does not have a name.
I just got rid of 1,726 emails.... I think I got 12 of each post.
Sorry guys,I can see it but no one else can.Thanks Donna for offering to do that but when I sent it to you I couldnt see it myself so I guess this is a lost cause.Thanks for offering to help Donna

SCBWI announces the winners of the 2016 On-The-Verge Emerging Voices Award. Collette Childers is the writer of the YA novel HYPERSLEEP, a story that explores a seventeen-year-old's attempt to find a cure for her juvenile arthritis by undergoing a radical cryonics treatment. Sindhu Vijayasarathy is the author of the YA novel INSTANT KARMA that tells the story of two girls from different centuries whose lives are inexorably linked through karma and reincarnation.
The award is inspired in part by the SCBWI's increasing efforts to foster underrepresented voices in children's literature. According to SCBWI Executive Director Lin Oliver, "Every child should have the opportunity to see themselves reflected in the pages of a book.

Here's a winter climbing report by outdoor instructor and part time Climbers Shop staff member, Bryan, just to get you inspired and psyched for the Christmas break and New Year. Fingers crossed for some cold conditions.
'Myself and a couple of friends, Andy and Mark headed north to Scotland at the beginning of December, hoping that our optimism of the weather not being as bad as forecast, and some good conditions, would pay off. Luckily for us, we were rewarded with good early season conditions, and typical Scottish weather.'
'Wednesday was spent in the Cairngorms, in Coire an Sneachda, where we climbed The Genie, where we had to climb fast to try and beat the rapidly rising freezing level which was threatening to strip the route.'
Mark seconding pitch 3
'After checking the forecast for Thursday, we decided to take a gamble and drive to Torridon, aiming to climb the triple buttress of Beinn Eighe via the East Buttress IV,5, which has always been somewhere I've wanted to climb. As we drove down the valley, we were pleased the snow level was down to 300m, and knew that our gamble was going to pay off. We were slightly concerned about our rather lazy 9.30am start however, as there was a 3hr walk in and 250m climb ahead of us!'
'After only 7hrs, we arrived back at the car, after having an excellent day, where we didn't see anyone all day. If you haven't been round to the Triple Buttress, I would thoroughly recommend it, even if you don't intend to climb, its a nice walk, and a stunning place to be.'

text: It finally happened, my H did the 9.8 m/s2 into the ground. It was pilot error, as I was filming the fresh snowfall on a large Douglas Fir tree, the prop wash pushed the snow off of the heavy snow laden branch and as the snow fell off the branch, the branch rebounded way up and the props sucked into the branch and down she went from about 30 feet. It happened too fast for me too react. Many lessons have been learned from this ordeal. Total of 2 arms totaled, the arm clips, 4 of those, the entire camera attachment assembly, outer shell...top and bottom replacement needed, and a motor on the landing gear. So far it's looking about $200 from my research. Anyone find anyone else besides Vertigo and Carolina? I'm mostly interested in the arm plastic/carbon assembly but man those are expensive at $49.00 each. Seems like the better deal is to get wire/motor/light/cables and arm clips along with the arm for $69.00 Is there any overseas (China) Clone Parts anyone know of?

Michael O'Doherty: Des Bishop has made a tit of himself
This week, publishing boss Michael O'Doherty takes a pop at comedian Des Bishop.
Speaking last week to the London -based newspaper The Irish Post, Des bemoaned the fact that his fame was making his life in Ireland a living hell, to such an extent that he was considering moving to the US full-time.
"I'm well-known in Ireland, and with that comes the stress of being recognised everywhere," he said.
"Every time you walk into a restaurant you think maybe people are looking at you. They may not even be, but regardless, fame makes you conditioned to be paranoid. You spend your time walking a little faster than you normally would, trying to find a table that isn't in the middle."
Not only does the sheer magnetism of Des' presence cause him to be ultra-careful about restaurants, it also makes him think twice about going out at all, as every nightspot is a potential scene for a flashpoint.
"At night when people are drunk you are extra worried because you think if someone sees me it could be an incident," he continued. All of which prompts the following, well-intentioned observation.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Bono, no mean achiever in the celebrity stakes himself (though perhaps not having reached the exalted heights of Mr Bishop), has no problem going out and about in Dublin, without resorting to an armed escort or insisting on a segregated room away from mere mortals.
Read more: Michael O'Doherty: Yes, Eoghan, you're not a celeb - now can you tell your pal Laura Whitmore?
So is it not a tiny bit precious of Des to claim he attracts so much attention that he is being forced to consider moving abroad?
Then, of course, the penny dropped. This was an elaborate April Fool's joke and Des was being hilariously self-deprecating. But I read the date on the interview - March 26.
So sorry Des, but you have made a tit of yourself.

Nintendo Wii is set to receive its first official YouTube app, allowing users to access the video site on their gaming consoles at no charge.
The company announced the addition on its YouTube blog on Thursday, saying that the new app is designed specifically for the platform and allows users to watch YouTube on the big screen.
There is no set release date yet, as the company stated it will be available in the United States and two other countries first "in the coming months."
When it arrives, users will be able to sign into YouTube and watch their subscribed channels, as well as other categories, trending videos, and everything else that YouTube offers. It also has a very convenient search that displays instant results as the user types.
The new app is a vast improvement over how users usually access YouTube with the Nintendo Wii. In order to access the video sharing site, users had to purchase an internet channel on the Wii Shop Channel for $5. They were required to purchase and download a version of Opera, which would then allow the Wii user to access YouTube and the internet.
That access has changed in recent years and the software used to access the internet on a Wii console is now free. With the new app for Nintendo Wii, YouTube has helped to make the gaming console more in line with the offerings of other major gaming consoles, like the PlayStation 3 and Xbox.

John Lewis wants to extend gun revolt to Georgia
For a reminder of the potency of gun control as an election-year issue, look no further than the town hall meeting Wednesday held at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
At center stage was Rep. John Lewis, who orchestrated last week's headline-grabbing sit-in at the U.S. House, and other Democrats pushing for a vote on new gun restrictions as nothing short of a new phase in the civil rights struggle.
He and his allies made clear that it's a two-pronged fight in Washington and Atlanta, where they hope to defeat a new version of a high-profile gun rights expansion that was vetoed this year.
"You're on the right side," Lewis told a crowd of hundreds of supporters at a cramped room outside the church, the spiritual home of Martin Luther King Jr.
"We're not going to take it anymore. We're going to speak up, speak out and pull and push," he added. "All across America today there are hundreds of members of Congress doing what we're doing here. It's a movement and we're not going to quit."
Second Amendment activists are readying for a fight. Republican lawmakers, who hold overwhelming advantages in the Georgia Legislature, are looking to bounce back after Gov. Nathan Deal vetoed a "campus carry" measure that would allow people to carry concealed weapons onto pubic college campuses.
Jerry Henry of GeorgiaCarry.org, one of the more aggressive gun rights groups in the state, said the civil rights icon was at the center of a "hypocritical" crusade to deprive citizens of their constitutional right to bear arms. Next year, he said, expect a push to expand the places where permitholders can carry their guns to a range of new places.
"The overwhelming majority of these incidents occur in gun-free zones," he said. "Do away with gun free zones and allow citizens the right to protect themselves if they desire to do so."

Keep your nose out of Georgia! I'm sick of their stupidity!
All I can say to john lewis is TERM LIMITS!
Why doesn't he spend his time addressing black on black crime, drop out rates for minorities or the murder rates for blacks? He just wants attention for the next election.
Lewis is no leader!
Maybe these churches holding political rallies should have tax exemption status looked at.
John Lewis is a great reason for term limits. He is a partisan hack and idiot.
What a dumbass!
Oh, just go home Mr Lewis ! No, just go to Cuba, we have had enough of you here in GEORGIA !
John Lewis isn't the smartest rock in the pile.
John Lewis can shove a gun law up his butt! He is a total idiot!
Too bad so sad
He's just a typical Democrat
He needs to protest illegal terrorist that the dems want to overrun this country
John Lewis is a leftist moron that is Anti-American. Should be fired.
loves any attention he can get.....so sad
Georgia ??????? U R kidding right?????
Yea, good luck with that!!!
Then John Lewis needs to fire his body guard.
I agree out with the old
He is a lot Dummer than he looks,and that is saying a lot.Compared to him,stupid could be easley fixed.
He needs to go back to DC we don't need his opinion in Ga...
Fuuuuuuuck off, stupid.
What's wrong John you can't stop your on people from killing each other?
Can he retire already?!
It is all about money and lots of it let's bankrupt them all And put it back in the Good old USA AMEN!!!!!!!
Hey bro Georgia can do without your dumb ideas. Take it up to Chicago that Wild West side gun town with all those strict gun control laws\U0001f644\U0001f644
John Lewis needs to take his sorry self home in retirement. His era is history.
Send this commie to Cuba.
That's right alex
He needs to be voted out of congress.
Then Georgia needs to elect someone else to office
JL is a disgrace to Georgia! Foolish behavior on his part.
I would love to help...
Lewis is just out of touch with the people! But he's sure not the only one but we just expected more out if him! He really could help unify the people but he just ain't gonna do it! It's time he just goes home!
Such a LOOSER... Way out of touch with the people of the State. Looking to make headlines only.
Not everyone is ok with the gun legislation
He needs to go + anyone want to hire him
He is a disgrace to the great state of Georgia.
He has become ignorant and has bought into all the Washington elite nonsense that the Gun is the Problem!
He is still old, and he is still a fool, and he is still irrelevant. He could never support himself in the private sector. He still flips the race card on the table on a daily basis for he has nothing else to offer.
Lewis will do anything Al Sharpton and Jesse tells him to do. He is not smart enough to think for himself.
You would think after all John Lewis has been thru he would be pro 2nd amendment along with all of the bill of rights.
John Lewis Retire
Ga won't fall for this
I can't stand Lewis. He's a fool just like the rest of the Dems.
john lewis is a dam idiot that needs to be voted out of office asap ..
That pathetic excuse for a public servant can go F himself.
Mind your own business Senator...
John Lewis needs to go
John Lewis is a bought and paid for lapdog, where was this effort for Flint.

Born and abandoned in Newgate Prison, Moll Flanders is forced to make her own way in life. She duly embarks on a career that includes husband-hunting, incest, bigamy, prostitution and pick-pocketing, until her crimes eventually catch up with her. One of the earliest and most vivid female narrators in the history of the English novel, Moll recounts her adventures with irresistible wit and candour - and enough guile that the reader is left uncertain whether she is ultimately a redeemed sinner or a successful opportunist.
Die Inhaltsangabe kann sich auf eine andere Ausgabe dieses Titels beziehen.
The recent adaptation of Moll Flanders for Masterpiece Theater is a book-lover's dream: the dialogue and scene arrangement are close enough to allow the viewer to follow along in the book. The liberties taken with the tale are few (some years of childhood between the gypsies and the wealthy family are elided; Moll is Moll throughout the tale, rather than Mrs. Betty; Robert becomes Rowland, etc.) and the sets avoid the careless anachronism of the movie version released earlier this year.
The breasts, raised skirts, tumbling hair and heavy breathing on the small screen might catch you by surprise if you don't read the book carefully (as might Moll's abandonment of her children on more than one occasion). Unlike his near-contemporary John Cleland (_Fanny Hill_), Defoe was trying to keep out of jail, and so didn't dwell on the details of "correspondence" between Moll and her varied lovers. But on the page and on the screen, Moll comes across quite clearly as a woman who might bend, but refuses to break, and who is intent on having as good a life as she can get.
E. M. Forster in Aspects of the Novel considers Moll and her creator's art in some detail. While he finds much to criticize in Defoe's ability to plot (where did those last two children go, anyway?), he is as besotted with Moll as I am. Immoral? Sure -- but immortal, and never, ever dull. We hope at least a few of the viewers of the recent adaptation take a couple hours to discover the original, inimitable Moll Flanders.From the Publisher:
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

There is a talk in Kollywood circles that contrary to the widely held perception that the release of the Jeeva-Karthika starrer 'Ko' (directed by cinematographer-cum-director K.V. Anand) is not getting delayed or held back due to the cricket world cup but because of the delay in addition of background music being done by music director Harris Jayaraj.
Harris, who has risen to the top three music directors' list in Kollywood along with A.R. Rahman and Yuvan Shankar Raja, is reportedly demanding and getting Rs.2 crore as his fee per film. Despite churning out hits after hits in the past 2-3 years, Harris' style of sending the songs 'bit by bit' doesn't appear to have changed.
Harris, who doesn't over-work himself as he commits himself to not more than 4-5 films per year and manages to dole out hit number with surprising frequency, remains the favourite of directors despite the delay in his work as most of the songs composed by him go on to become hits which considerably helps in the concerned film having a decent run at the box-office.
Reports add that the producer and director of 'Ko', who have high regards for Harris and music-composing abilities, have purposely 'hidden' the fact that the film's release was getting delayed only because of the delay in adding background music and songs and have instead blamed the world cup for the delay of the most-awaited film in recent times.

- How is public transportation on Saturday nights and Sundays?
- I want to tour the JFK museum. How accessible to DAL and the hotel area?
- May want to rent a car and take a mini day trip to Mineral Wells, TX. I know we're talking about a 90 minute haul each way. I want to take the ghost tour of the once elegant now closed Baker Hotel. Is it worth doing?
- Any indoor aquatic facilities in the DAL area? My hotel does not have an indoor pool.
- Dallas is known for it's Mexican food and killer steak/beef; Any suggestions for either cuisine close to where I'm staying that's not a national chain and not expensive?
- How about one of those steak places where if you eat the entire steak it's free and you get a trophy or honorable mention on their wall of fame? I realize the side of beef/steak is going to run in the 30's price wise.
- Any comedy clubs with an open mike nearby? (I'm just in TX for training so, if I flop, what's done in TX stays in TX)
- Intense classroom instruction can cause tight muscles. Any massage recommendations? (women administering the therapy)
- Areas me and my fellow classmates should avoid/stay away?
Of course there is that issue of going to class, studying etc. But, as mentioned with what limited free time available I want to explore and experiencing new things.

It all started with a birthday party, a Bundt cake, and a 7-year-old with a wild imagination. An ordinary layer cake just wouldn't do for him; neither would a store-bought confection with plastic figurine toppers. He wanted to capture the Loch Ness Monster from the depths of the sea, and he wanted it in cake. As a supportive older sister with a penchant for baking, I had to meet his challenge. My only dilemma was figuring out how to do it.
Fondant would be the obvious route, but fondant and I are not friends. Sure, I'll smile as others stare in wonder of its smooth, flawless glow, like the Hills girls do with Heidi's "structured" new face, but you will not see me dashing off to transform my cakes into fondant-ensconced masterpieces. At least not until I find a fondant that actually tastes like something other than a gummy wedge of lard. (Oooh, harsh!)
I like my birthday cakes with character, even if it means they're a little flawed and lopsided. I made this cake a whopping three years ago (Fun fact: those first two paragraphs were written waaay back then, when Collegiate Cook first launched — hence the dated Hills reference. I couldn't lose it though!), but it was so easy to make I couldn't resist sharing it with you.
If you make it, be sure to send me a pic!
"Whoa, Nessie!" Loch Ness Monster Cake
Serves 6-8 hungry little monsters
Utensils required: mixing bowl, measuring cups, spoonula, oven mitts, Bundt pan, 9″x13″ pan, butter knife (for spreading frosting), toothpicks, serving dish (or just turn a baking sheet upside down and cover it with tin foil)
1 cake mix (and eggs/oil/butter, according to box's instructions; for some reason, box mixes hold up better when making sculpted cakes)
Cooking spray or butter for greasing pans
2 cans vanilla buttercream frosting (or cream cheese frosting)
1 bottle blue food coloring (you'll only need a few drop of each)
1 bottle green food coloring
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- Follow cake mix directions to prepare batter and preheat oven as directed. Grease bottom and sides of 9″x13″ pan and Bundt pan. Pour batter into Bundt pan first, filling it no more than 3/4 of the way up, then pour remaining batter into 9″x13″ pan.
- Bake according to package directions. The Bundt cake should take about 35-40 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the cake, and if it comes out clean, the cake is ready. Since oven cook times and Bundt pan sizes vary, I recommend checking up on it after 30 minutes, and every 5 or so minutes after that until it's ready. Nothing's worse than a scorched, dry cake.
- Once it's ready, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely, about 20-30 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the frosting. In one can, pour 4-5 drops of blue food coloring. In another, pour 4-5 drops of green. Use a butter knife to stir the colors, adding a drop or two at a time until you have the hues you'd like.
- Cut a strip of cake off the narrow side of the 9″x13″ piece that's roughly the width of the Bundt cake. This will be used to make the head of your monster. Set it aside for now, and move the remaining 9″x13″ slab of cake to a serving dish (it's probably now more like a 9″x11″).
- Put scraps of parchment paper (or clean, regular paper) under the edges of the cake to keep the frosting from dripping all over the dish. Cover the 9″x11″ with blue frosting, using the knife to swirl wave-like ridges and texture onto it.
- Cut one semicircle from the Bundt pan — that will be the looping back of the monster. Set aside. Cut the remaining half in half — set one piece aside in case you make a mistake or are in need of a snack mid-decorating. With the other piece, you'll cut out a triangle to form the tail, and the remaining part will be the neck/mouth (see diagram).
- Insert two toothpicks halfway into both ends of the semicircle (AKA Nessie's body), then stick it onto the center of the 9″x11″ cake. You'll frost Nessie's body later. Do the same for the head and tail. Use additional toothpicks if necessary to keep the pieces from falling over. You may want to shorten the neck so it's less likely to wobble.
- Use the 2″ piece you cut from the 9″x13″ to carve the top of the head. Stick two toothpicks in the bottom of the cake, and secure it onto the neck/mouth piece (which should resemble an upside-down L jutting out of the 9″x11″ base of the cake). Frost all of Nessie with the green frosting, being careful not to drip green frosting into the blue "water" frosting. If you do, just swirl some excess blue frosting over it to cover the green splotches.
- Create a line of chocolate chips down the back of Nessie to form her spikey scales. Stick two chocolate chips pointy-side down on the mouth piece for nostrils, and do the same on the head to create her eyes.

Red Hat the Top Company to Contribute to the GNOME Project
The GNOME Census ranks the top of companies contributing to GNOME.
At GUADEC last week Neary Consulting revealed the results of its GNOME Census, a report that studied who contributes to the GNOME project. The study found that some 70 percent of contributors are unpaid, but that the majority of commits comes from paid participants. The vast majority (70 percent) of contributors work on the project on their spare time, while an additional 20 percent of contributors do so on both a paid and voluntary basis.
The Study also looked at commercial developers' contributions to GNOME. In the information collected, Red Hat had the highest percentage of contributions to the project with 16.3 percent. Immediately behind Red Hat was Novell with 10.44 percent. The top five commercial contributors were rounded out with Collabora (4.99 percent), Intel (2.57 percent), and Fluendo (2.35 percent).
The study was quick to point out that Red Hat's ranking isn't much of a surprise, considering the company employs 16 of the top 40 GNOME contributors. Red Hat has been key in developing middleware modules such as device detection and sound support to the project.
The report also cautions about the compartmental nature of GNOME development. According to the report, specific companies have carved out areas of GNOME to maintain.
From the report: "This compares unfavorable with the Linux kernel, where there are several active maintainers for each subsystem."

How Can We Save the Rainforest?
The rainforest is a very gentle and complex ecosystem it can be harmed by even cutting down one tree. When you cut down a tree all the life that tree has and is supporting lose a home. That can be anywhere from 30-40 small animals such as birds, chipmunks and even monkeys. Image if you cut down a hundred trees that destroys about 3500 animal homes. You also can't re-plant the rianforest because when you pull out the tree's they pull out the soil and it loses almost all it nutrients. So that beasically means that your destroying nature and that really isn't a good thing. People are making many types of species of the rainforest endangered and maybe even extinct. Even if you try to rebuild the rainforest you just be killing more animals and you will not succeed. Why would you destroy nature for you own selfish needs. It's not right. Would you like it if your home was being destroyed or maybe if you dying! I didn't think so. If you think destroying the rainforest isn't right then contact us and post you thoughts on our idea page.

* Taiwan cbank urges companies to be vigilant about FX hedging
* Says stronger Taiwan dollar is due to foreign fund inflows
* Says currency level is determined by demand vs supply (Adds background)
By Faith Hung
TAIPEI, May 3 (Reuters) - Taiwan's central bank deputy governor said on Wednesday volatility in the local currency against the U.S. dollar is "unavoidable" but that it would not intervene in response to continuing foreign fund inflows.
The central bank has been under pressure as the surging currency could cloud prospects for Taiwan's export-driven economy.
Despite this concern, the central bank has refrained from weakening the currency through market intervention, as a precaution against the possibility of being labeled a currency manipulator by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Taiwan appeared again alongside China, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Germany on the latest watchlist published last month of countries that the United States would monitor as potential currency manipulators.
The semi-annual U.S. Treasury currency report has singled out those trading partners for closer scrutiny in an effort to curb what the U.S. calls "unfair currency practices."
The Taiwan dollar has strengthened about 8 percent against the U.S. dollar so far this year, making it the best-performing currency in Asia.
Earlier on Wednesday, it was traded at T$29.940, an intraday level not seen in two and half a years.
"Currency volatility is unavoidable," deputy governor Yang Chin-long said in response to questions from lawmakers at a legislative hearing, adding that the surge can be attributed to foreign fund inflows.
"Companies must be vigilant about currency hedging," he said, adding that the central bank would not intervene if foreign fund inflows continues.
"When the Taiwan dollar trades at T$29 - T$30 (to the U.S. dollar), the market perceives the U.S. dollar as too cheap," he said.
"The currency exchange rate is a matter of supply versus demand." (Additional reporting by Loh Liang-sa; Editing by Sam Holmes)

Day 5 YellowGreen Springtime Tree watercolor was fun and a learning curve.
Day 5 YellowGreen Springtime Tree watercolor was fun and a learning curve.
My newest and latest beauty.
My latest and greatest watercolor of a little chuparosa dancing over some gorgeous Echinacea. This is stage 4 with many more to go
This was the 3rd phase. First being the thought and sketching, the choice of colors and paper and what I want to create. I remember from college that my professor had us think clearly about what we wanted to do. Even write it down. I don't do that very often, but it came back to me wanting to take this one slow and do it for me.
I want to create the gorgeous morning light that lit up these Echinacea flowers of purple, pink and bright glowing orange with a little wispy female chuparosa dancing across her stage.
this is where the idea started. I love the stage of bright orange heads on these wonderful pinks and purples.
And I adore the background colors and feel in this one. And this will be the little chupa I'm going to put in my painting. Right now she is covered in the green misket and it will be very exciting when I get to the point where I can start to paint her.
I'll keep you posted.
I'm also posting on my FaceBook pages
Hope your summer is rocking,

The faculty, students, and alumnae of the YSPH Health Management Program are proud to celebrate and honor the memory of Professor John D. Thompson with the John D. Thompson Distinguished Visiting Fellow Award. The award pays tribute to Professor Thompson's contributions as an educator, researcher, and mentor in health administration, including his pioneering work in healthcare finance and hospital quality of care. The fellowship program brings a leader in health administration to the School each year to share their experiences with students and discuss emerging challenges in health administration. The program is supported by the John Devereaux Thompson Academic Development fund.
John D. Thompson (1917-1992) was a professor at Yale's Schools of Nursing, Medicine, and Public Health, and is perhaps best known for his role in the development of Diagnosis Related Groups (DRGs) for hospital reimbursement. A true innovator, Professor Thompson was an early advocate for the application of quantitative data in health policy formulation. Today's healthcare management students and leaders continue to be inspired by his compassion for patients, dedication to research, and belief in the power of data.

Dr. Tesla Discussing The Ether Space Wave Theory
"It was evident to me that wireless transmission of energy, if it could ever be accomplished, is not an invention; it is an art. Bell's telephone, Edison's phonograph, or my induction motor were inventions, but the wireless transmission of energy is an art that requires a great many inventions in combination.
"We are living on a planet that is rushing through space; this planet is partly conducting and partly insulating. If it were all conducting, or if it were all insulating, we could not transmit energy without wire. It is only because it is partly conducting and partly insulating that a glorious future for man is reserved through the application of this art."
–Nikola Tesla
(From a pre-hearing interview with Nikola Tesla and his legal counsel in 1916 to protect his radio patents from the Guglielmo Marconi and the Marconi Company.)
[Fig. 1]:
"We are living on a planet of well-nigh inconceivable dimensions, surrounded by a layer of insulating air above which is a rarefied and conducting atmosphere. This is providential, for if all the air were conducting the transmission of electrical energy thru the natural media would be impossible." –NT
[Fig. 2]:
"My early experiments have shown that currents of high frequency and great tension readily pass thru an atmosphere but moderately rarefied, so that the insulating stratum is reduced to a small thickness as will be evident by inspection of [Fig. 2], in which a part of the earth and its gaseous envelope is shown to scale. If the radius of the sphere is 12½", then the non-conducting layer is only 1/64″ thick and it will be obvious that the Hertzian rays cannot traverse so thin a crack between two conducting surfaces for any considerable distance, without being absorbed." –NT

Eleni Gatzoyiannis Scholarships Available to Greek Students at Boston University
Contact: Lauren Davalla, 617-358-1688 | firstname.lastname@example.com
(Boston) – Boston University is currently accepting application for the 2010-2011 Eleni Gatzoyiannis Scholarship, through April 9. The scholarships are available to full-time undergraduate and graduate students of Greek birth or ancestry who have completed at least one semester at Boston University, are in good academic standing and demonstrate financial need. To apply, eligible students must complete a two-page application, write a short essay, and have a 10-15 minute interview with the Gatzoyiannis Scholarship committee members.
Established in 1985, the endowed scholarships are gifts from Boston University graduate Nicholas Gage (COM '63, HON '85) in honor of his mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis. The scholarships serve to recognize and memorialize her struggle and martyrdom to protect her children's lives and to secure their freedom against Communist guerrillas during the Greek Civil War, which resulted in her death at the guerrillas' hands. A renowned author, Gage depicted the story of his mother's life in a prize-winning biography Eleni, which he subsequently produced as a feature film of the same title.
A four-member committee consisting of Nicholas Gage, a representative from the University's Office of Financial Assistance, the Director of the International Students and Scholars Office (ISSO) and an instructor in Modern Greek, selects scholarship recipients on the basis of written applications and personal interviews. Interviews will be held in April and all applicants receive notification in writing as to the decision of the committee soon after the interview sessions are complete. To obtain an Eleni Gatzoyiannis Scholarship electronic application, contact Linda Renzi via email at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Jeanne Kelley at email@example.com.
In advance of the April 9 deadline, completed applications should be returned to Linda Renzi by fax at (617) 353-2445. Applications can also be submitted via postal mail or hand-delivered to the Office of Development and Alumni Relations: Attention Linda Renzi, 595 Commonwealth Avenue, Suite 700, West Entrance, Boston, MA 02215.
Founded in 1839, Boston University is an internationally private research university with more than 30,000 students participating in undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs. BU consists of 17 colleges and schools along with a number of multi-disciplinary centers and institutes which are central to the school's research and teaching mission.

Pilot story and photos
by ANDREA BARKAN
Kalmiopsis Elementary School in Brookings celebrated national Read Across America day on the centennial birthday of Dr. Seuss Tuesday night in the cafeteria.
The National Education Association started Read Across America in 1998, Kalmiopsis Principal Chris McKay said.
andquot;The reason they started it was to promote reading in schools and reading in families,andquot; McKay said.
Students, families and friends gathered in fifth-grade classrooms where guest readers, including teachers, police officers, school administrators and community members, read stories they chose.
Other activities during the hour-long event, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., included a book fair in the library and free cookies and punch in the cafeteria.
Students lined the hall with parents and friends to have their Polaroid taken behind a andquot;Green Eggs and Hamandquot; mural in the music room.
andquot;It's a good, fun, family event,andquot; Alice Farmer said.
Farmer said she has one child in kindergarten at Kalmiopsis. Her husband, Daryn Farmer, was a guest reader.
andquot;It's kind of like a ritual,andquot; she said. andquot;It's a tradition for everyone.andquot;
McKay said this year's event was better attended than past Dr. Seuss nights.
andquot;We couldn't have hoped for anything better,andquot; McKay said. andquot;Awesome turnout.andquot;
Kalmiopsis students have collected 33,000 total reading points so far this school year. Their year-end goal is 40,000, McKay said.
Point values vary from half a point to 18 points, depending upon the difficulty level of the book.
McKay said reading a andquot;Harry Potterandquot; book, for example, would earn a student between 15 and 18 points.
To earn points, students not only have to read a book but must pass a comprehension test, she said.
School officials recognize top readers at the end of each school year.
If the school-wide goal is met, McKay said, she takes the whole school to the movies.
Students have consistently met or exceeded the school goal during the past five years, McKay said.
andquot;We've got a lot of kids really motivated to read,andquot; she said.

Coral bag aside (you're all probably bored sick of it by now) and on to the makeup! I've been using my old Sigma F80 flat top kabuki brush a lot for concentrating products in the places that need more coverage and I realised how much I liked it before I joined the millions of thousands of people who now love the real techniques buffing brush. I've also been keeping my base very light and dewy and have pretty much used the Dr Jart Water Fuse BB Cream everyday for the past three weeks (excluding a brief stint with the This Works Perfect Look Skin Miracle). It's light and hydrating and you don't even need to worry about whether it's the right shade because there's just one! If I remember correctly they're also on offer on the Boots website at the moment - I may have to stock up...
Next up we have a few of my newer loves, starting with (drum roll please)... The Aerin Multi Colour for Lips and Cheeks. I have the shade 02 Freesia and which is a more coral pink in comparison to it's bubblegum pink counterpart in 03 - don't even get me started on 01, it's just a nude blush with some shimmer. This is probably my favourite of all the cream blushes I've tried and it's baby pink princess-like packaging just makes you feel a little bit special.
This month I also discovered the joys of a gel eye cream, I'm using the Elemis Fresh Skin Soothing Eye Gel*, and it works a treat at reducing puffy eyes in the morning. Gels are great because a little goes a long way and they can end up lasting forever, on top of that if you keep them in a fridge they're extra refreshing in the morning! I also picked up the Una Brennan Rose Hydrating Facial Oil when I was on a bit of a mad one in Boots after work. It's designed to be a pre cleansing oil and I use it on days where I'm not going to be using a hydrating cleanser just to balance things out. It smells amazing too so I find it really relaxing to use.
My final beauty favourite is one I did a review of in April - The Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I also popped up a review of it's newest partners in crime - The Suf shampoo and conditioner, but I digress. I've been using this on days where I curl my hair and really want to mess it up. I spritz a generous amount on and scrunch my hair - it looks huge and seriously messy - perfect!
For non beauty favourites, Daft Punk - Get Lucky has to be my favourite track for the month and a blogger I've really been loving is Luce (link here), I don't think there's a day where we aren't jabbering away on twitter and she's super lovely so go and check her blog out if you haven't already! Another lovely lady i'd like to mention is Lauren (link here), I love her blog and she is just so super lovely and cute!
By now you're most probably thinking: April favourites - in a blog post? I know it's not my usual video but I was waiting for my new camera to come and when it did my room was too messy to film in! So I thought I'd mix it up a little as a few of you have asked for favourites to be written out! Hopefully I'll get round to filming a new video soon - but I have to tackle the hideous mess that is my room first - SOS?
