As the admission's office has to analyze a large number of applications, your goal is to stand out in a good way. Keep your application brief, and stick to the point when answering questions. Search on Google for professional resume writing tips, as if you were applying for a job interview, and write your college app in the same style. Depending on the schools you're applying to, the admissions process can range from a simple formula that weighs grades and test scores, to a subjective review of your whole application. The overall time-span for higher education is lengthening, because attending college as an undergraduate is increasingly likely to lead to graduate school. Colleges look for patterns in both grades and test scores. High grades combined with low test scores may suggest a hard-working student, but high test scores with low grades may suggest a smart, but lazy student. It's optimal to attempt the hardest courses that your high school offers, and the worst thing you can do is to drop a hard course just because you're receiving a low grade.
Applicants who achieve a leadership position in an extracurricular activity are regarded more highly than students who merely participate, so only join clubs that you have a real interest in. About half of colleges use a waiting list, particularly those which are more selective. One survey suggests that 30% of wait-listed students are eventually accepted, so applicants who are wait-listed should contact the admissions office of their top choice by phone, to declare that they will attend if accepted. While most college admissions involve high school students applying directly to college,
transfer admissions
are important as well. Many community colleges have agreements with four-year schools, particularly flagship state universities, so that the transfer of credits is handled smoothly.
Test Prep, Sample Practice Tests
Most colleges accept either the SAT or ACT, and have formulas for converting scores into admissions' criteria. Colleges use these standardized tests because there are substantial differences in curricula, grading, and difficulty among US high schools. One benefit of the ACT test is that it allows the test-taker to select scores to send to specific colleges. ACT test questions are geared towards higher levels of high school mathematics, while the SAT test is a better choice for students with an excellent vocabulary. Counselors suggest that students practice taking the test under actual testing conditions, and using a large watch with a sweeping second hand, rather than a digital display which may distract you.
On average, over half of juniors retaking the SAT as a senior saw improvements in their scores. These tests are designed to measure your accumulated knowledge over years of study. Further, Advanced Placement exams are offered in a variety of physical sciences, offering you college credit for honors-level classes that you have taken while still in high school.
Test yourself
with practice exams online, before visiting the College Board website to register to take your actual AP Tests. If you earn a score of 3 or higher on an AP Exam, you may be able to receive course credits or advanced placement, when you start college.

Welcome to Ecorse Along the Detroit River
Hello and welcome to Ecorse Along the Detroit River,
Since 2010, I have researched and written a blog called Ruth Spangler's Blog after my Grandma Robson- her maiden name was Ruth Spangler. She lived in Ecorse on Beach Street for over forty years and worked in the Ecorse High School cafeteria and she and my Grandpa Robson were active in the Ecorse Presbyterian Church. I loved her very much and I dedicated the blog to her. I dedicate this website to her and to Ecorse, my home town.
After four years of Ecorse blogging, I am transforming my Ruth Spangler's Blog to Ecorse Along the Detroit River, because I think the content is easier to follow on a website and I hope that the Ecorse History here will be preserved and read.
In the years since August 2010, my very first post, I have researched and written much Ecorse history and two books about Ecorse: A Brief History of Ecorse, and yes, you guessed it, Ecorse Along the Detroit River. It occurred to me that Ecorse Along the Detroit River would be an excellent name for a website of Ecorse History and a good way to advertise the book as well. My Amazon Author Page is: amazon author page
Here are the links to the books: Ecorse Along the Detroit River and A Brief History of Ecorse. I hope you enjoy them, especially since most of the photographs in Ecorse Along the Detroit River are from John Duguay and Sandy Blakeman, Ecorse photographers and Ecorse citizens and boosters.I believe that Ecorse has a fascinating and significant history and I am glad that I grew up there and learned to appreciate it.
I am also glad that I am having a small part in preserving Ecorse History and I hope that you will add your memories and stories about Ecorse as well.

(JNS.org) The widows of two of the 11 Israeli athletes killed by Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics participated in a ceremony and minute of silence in the memory of the victims at the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Village, where this year's summer Olympic Games will begin on Friday.
Anke Spitzer remembered her fencing coach husband Andre, while Ilana Romano remembered her husband and weightlifter Joseph Romano at the ceremony led by International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach.
"This is closure for us. This is incredibly important. We waited 44 years to have this remembrance and recognition for our loved ones who were so brutally killed in Munich," Spitzer told reporters.
"That they would be really accepted as members of the Olympic family. It is what we wanted because they were members of the Olympic family," she said.
In September of 1972, Israeli athletes were taken hostage at the athlete's village of the Munich games by Palestinian terrorists belonging to the Black September terror group. They killed 11 Israelis over 24-hour standoff with German police, in which five of the terrorists and two police officers were also killed.
While the families of the victims have long called for a minute of silence during subsequent games' opening ceremonies in honor of the murdered Israeli athletes, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has refused this demand. This year, however, Back finally inaugurate a Place of Mourning area, which will now be set up at every Olympic Games in the future.
"I never believed it was going to come. After 44 years I am happy for this moment of history," Romano said, according to Yedioth Achronoth.

Pioneer Editorial: Campaign '06: Funding role for higher ed
A federal report issued Tuesday shows that three out of every four undergraduate college students in Minnesota take out loans for their higher education and that Minnesota ranks third in the nation -- behind New York and Georgia -- in the highest average loan amount at $20,312, a figure $1,000 higher than the national average. Of that, $16,594 is with federal loans, according to the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics.
Also Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education announced that interest rates on student loans will climb 1.84 points in July to as much as 7.14 percent for federal Stafford student loans and 7.94 percent for PLUS loans, which parents take out for their kids. The only escape is to consolidate loans before July 1, with rates as low as 4.75 percent, and locking their rates in.
Barring that, it's going to be even more expensive to attend a higher education institution.
The double whammy in Minnesota comes from the aftermath of the Deficit Reduction Act signed by President Bush in February which cuts government spending on student loans by about $22 billion, plus budget cuts by Minnesota to cover the $4.5 billion budget deficit of a few years ago, forcing the state to cover less and less of the cost of higher education.
Students in Minnesota, including those at Bemidji State University and Northwest Technical College, have faced double-digit tuition increases nearly every year, forcing them to take out more in loans or work several part-time jobs. Or drop out because they can't afford it.
Tuesday's revelations signal that access to higher education remains a priority in Minnesota, and should be among the issues raised during this fall's campaigning for the Legislature and the governor's office. The recently concluded 2006 legislative session helped secondary education and early childhood education in a number of areas -- but did virtually nothing for higher education. Aside from brick-and-mortar spending through bonding, the only program measure was to approve $5 million to the University of Minnesota to provide it an expanded presence in Rochester.
Minnesota takes great pride in offering access to higher education without making cost a barrier. With the level of loans going higher, and now also the interest rates, that universal access is in jeopardy.
A legitimate policy question for candidates this fall is what level of support do they believe the state should have in tuition support. The total amount spent by the state on higher education is an ever decreasing piece of the state budget pie, when perhaps a greater investment is needed to prepare the workforce for the jobs of tomorrow.

Young Adult
Catherine may be one of the most desired girls in Wonderland and a favorite of the unmarried King, but her interests lie elsewhere. A talented baker, she wants to open a shop and create delectable pastries. But for her mother, such a goal is unthinkable for a woman who could be a queen.
At a royal ball where Cath is expected to receive the King's marriage proposal, she meets handsome and mysterious Jest. For the first time, she feels the pull of true attraction. At the risk of offending the King and infuriating her parents, she and Jest enter into a secret courtship.
Cath is determined to choose her own destiny. But in a land thriving with magic, madness, and monsters, fate has other plans.
Right from the very first scene of this book (literally) I felt an instant connection. The plot had gripped me and begged me to continue.
Heartless is a compelling story full of imaginative characters and intricate plot developments.
It plays a unique twist on the Alice in Wonderland fairytale – one that I have decided not to share with you, with the hope that you can all experience discovering it for yourself.
As a huge fan of Marrisa Meyer's previous series, I can affirm that this is yet another testament to her brilliant writing style. The descriptive style allowed me to actually imagine the scene being played out. Unlike some other authors, her dialogue is realistic, and at times, humorous. I believe one of the main skills of Meyer included her ability to weave a particular aspect throughout the entire novel, and well as advancing the plot efficiently. It is as if the story is being propelled in feelings. This makes it easy to read whilst still being complex and enjoyable.
Marissa Meyer easily creates a perfect balance when creating her fairytale refilling.
Furthermore, each character in this novel brings a unique characteristic as they tie in together with apparent ease. Catherine, the main character, is a aristocratic member of society, with a passion for baking. She has dreams of opening a bakery, but when she is proposed to by the King, her plans are thrown off course. Her approach to this difficult situation was extremely interesting to read about, and developed wonderfully throughout the novel.
Cath also maintains relationships with her parents and close friends with awe-inspiring resilience.
In the very beginning of the novel, we are introduced to the character of the Joker. (Not really a spoiler – happens early on). I LOVED HIM SO MUCH HOLEY MOLEY! DEFINITELY ONE OF MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS.
I honestly did not except to enjoy Heartless as much as I did! Definitely a favourite of the so far.
Frequently asked questions:
Do I need to read the Lunar Chronicles Series before reading this?
Answer: NO! Completely different series! Definitely go read it! :)))

Re: paperwork (rant warning)
Expand Messages
- Thanks. Good to know. However, I think that capacity rule is, lets
say, a certain kind of very cheap ground and processed meat. The
design displacement of my Brick is something like 600 or 800 lbs, and
I've seen it sail ok with 4 people on board, when the rule says 2
people. The rule seems to rate the Bolger Nymph at 2 people, but it is
completely adequat for 3. It also rates a dinghy I designed for a 350
lb payload at only 1.4 people. That dinghy has been tested in service,
and has plenty of freeboard. Single sculls rate an additional person,
most assuredly a bad idea. Legislating good (I won't say "common")
sense is hard.
I wonder what Coast Guard Auxiliary policy is upon meeting homemade
boats on the water. I don't know if I've EVER seen a capacity plate on
one, and I don't think I've seen too many builder's numbers either.
However, it seems very clear that when I am rowing my boat I am fairly
safe, assuming no careless powerboats hit me. It is my impression that
reckless or ignorant operation are the real hazards, whether in
motorized vessels that can cause damage or in tricky (well, tricky for
a drunk) vessels like canoes. For instance, a fomer coworker of mine
went out tin motor skiff on the ocean, too soon after a hurricane,
flipped over, and drowned, or perhaps hypothermia got him. I'm sure
that skiff had a capacity plate, and it was probably registered
As far as "enforcement" goes, I think a delicate balance must be
maintained. History has multiple examples of what happens when the
"enforcement" arm gets a bit too rambunctious. With my big mouth, if I
was in a place that had gone very far down that road I'd end up in the
arctic "counting trees". On the other hand, I wish the Coast Guard or
police had been around the day I saw a guy doing doughnuts in front of
the trailer ramp with his 22 foot boat where the river is maybe 100
feet wide in Waltham. And, of course, I wish they had been very close
to my former coworker that day he flipped. Or had asked him what he
thought he was doing.

Death Comes to Pemberley Paperback
by P. D. James
The world is classic Jane Austen. The mystery is vintage P.D. James. The year is 1803, and Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet have been married for six years.
There are now two handsome and healthy sons in the nursery, Elizabeth's beloved sister Jane and her husband Bingley live nearby and the orderly world of Pemberley seems unassailable.
But all this is threatened when, on the eve of the annual autumn ball, the guests are preparing to retire for the night when a chaise appears, rocking down the path from Pemberley's wild woodland.
As it pulls up, Lydia Wickham - Elizabeth Bennet's younger, unreliable sister - stumbles out screaming that her husband has been murdered.
Two great literary minds - master of suspense P.D. James and literary icon Jane Austen - come together in Death Comes to Pemberley, a bestselling historical crime fiction tribute to Pride and Prejudice.
Conjuring the world of Elizabeth Bennet and Mark Darcy and combining the trappings of Regency British society with a classic murder mystery, James creates a delightful mash-up that will intrigue any Janeite.
From the bestselling author of The Murder Room, Children of Men and A Certain Justice, comes a wonderful mixture of the nation's greatest romance and best-loved crime fiction.
In 2013, this novel was adapted as a miniseries by the BBC, starring Matthew Rhys as Darcy, Anna Maxwell Martin as Elizabeth Bennet and Jenna Coleman as Lydia Wickham.

Review by gbsallery
An entertaining sequel to Pride and Prejudice, delivered with style and panache by P.D. James. I have not encountered James' writing before, but if this is anything to go by, it's something of a treat. Whilst not clinging too firmly to the modes of speech of the original novel, there is an obvious sympathy and similarity of viewpoints; aside from the slip of genre from romance to whodunnit, there is no painful disjunction between the two books - this is a real achievement. To spin an entertaining novel out of such well-loved foundations without striking an awkward note creates a delightful book. The only slight detraction from the novel relates to the formulas and structure of the detective novel, but these are minor imperfections.
Review by curlycurrie
P D James has carried on where Jane Austin left off, but with a twist! Her writes blends seamlessly into a P D James mystery. I loved the way that Mr and Mrs Darcy are made for each other. Ms Austin left you wondering whether it would be a match made in heaven, or made elsewhere!
Review by MarthaJeanne
I thoroughly enjoyed this. I normally don't read mystery novels, but the connections with Austen, and my husband's hesitation ('James is such a good writer, but I'm not sure I want to read a mystery taking place in the early 19th century.') decided me. James takes a light-hearted attitude to it all, the prose is exceptionally good - not trying to be Austen's, but with occasional bits that bring P&P to mind, as well as characters brought in from other Austen novels. It felt like a gift from one Austen lover to another.My husband has read it now, and would warn off James fans who don't also know Austen. He says that this is not a detective novel, and is not easy to read if you don't already know the characters.
Review by Cassandra2020
Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James - Dull

I remember when Pauline read this, it fell into the category "books I read so you don't have to"! Despite this warning, I signed up for a bookray & lo this dropped onto the doormat a few days ago.

I hang my head in shame at the next admission, I've never read any Jane Austen or seen any adaptation of her books. Despite this, I've read a few Austen inspired books and have been slowly working my round to the realisation that I'm going to have to bite the bullet and read the real thing (especially as I now want to read: Longbourn by Jo Baker). This book is the final straw.

It's not very good. I don't know what got into PD James, but it was stilted and the mystery wasn't particularly well drawn or...er...mysterious. It was pretty obvious what was going to happen.

Elizabeth & Darcy have been married for a few years and have a couple of children. On the eve of their annual Ball, her sister Lydia arrives, distraught: her husband and his friend have disappeared into the woods & shots have been heard. Darcy mounts an expedition and a body is found.

The rest of the book meanders about, not really telling you much until suddenly Darcy is at the Assizes giving evidence. The murderer is unmasked and everyone lives happily ever after.

Thing is, nothing much happens, there is no investigation. Between finding the body, arresting a suspect & the trial etc. NOTHING happens. Is Pride and Prejudice this dull? I wouldn't expect so. I think, maybe, PD James found writing in this style stiffled her.

On the plus side, it took just under 2 days to read and didn't challenge me, just filled in some time.

Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block are reportedly close to signing a deal for a joint tour.
The boybands are in talks with Live Nation Entertainment to embark upon a 2011 US tour together - possibly as early as March - according to E! Online.
Organisers are also apparently keen to add a third band to the tour, with Boyz II Men at the top of the wishlist.
A source, who described the possible reunion as the popstar equivalent of current star-studded action movie The Expendables, said: "The idea is to recreate the boyband phenomenon. It will be the ultimate ladies' night out."
The idea was apparently conceived after Backstreet Boys and New Kids On The Block shared the stage during a performance of 'I Want It That Way' in New York this June.
The source added: "The response was amazing. It was a great night of music."
Management reps from both groups are believed to have opened discussions about recording a single together prior to touring, but a Live Nation rep declined to comment.


text: I am going to start doing a lot of top-dressing of lawns and am looking for a good organic mix. What I have used up to this point is a mix my local distributer sells which is 50% topsoil and 50% GroCo ( 90% sawdust and 10% bio solids ) ( I think bio solids is the correct word, its processed sewage ) I talked to a local Organic nursery to have them potentially sell my top-dressing service and his feedback was I need to change my mix to a more organic friendly mix. He said yes bio solids may be considered organic but he would not be comfortable recommending it. Also he said he would like to see pete moss instead of sawdust. That may be an availability problem for me. Thats enough from me you know my problem, What can you suggest.


text: A couple years ago a thread was bouncing around on LS about "the perfect mower". Wander into (mower) fantasy design land for a minute with me, what features would your mower have? OK here goes some from me: A completely non stick deck; Highly polished aluminum clad deck? A deck that discharges on either side. Goofy but would be very practical. I really like the electronic OCDC my Power Chute Design.....if they could get one thats reliable it would be great. A blade that never needs sharpened; Lets hear some more ideas!!

Ladies, the struggle for equality between the sexes is over! Sure, you still make less money for the same work, and sure, companies still play on insecurities they reinforce so you'll buy useless crap, and sure, people still say things like, "if you don't want to be raped, don't wear a short skirt." But! Now you have your own anthropomorphized M&M who's smart, outspoken, and supposedly a feminist. (Not like that trampy green one, am I right? Take your knee-high boots and your fake eyelashes and catch the jitney back to Whoreville, green M&M!)
Meet Ms. Brown: she wears glasses. She's a career woman — Chief Chocolate Officer, if you must ask. She uses "Ms.," because her marital status does not define her and it's 1974. She has this game on lock and she's going to premiere at the goddamn Superbowl. Check it:
"M&M's, sold by the confectionery giant, will use a commercial during Super Bowl XLVI on Feb. 5 to introduce a character to represent brown M&M's named Ms. Brown. She will be the sixth computer-animated mascot for the brand, following walking and talking versions of the red, yellow, blue, green and orange M&M's…
In a teaser effort that begins this week, Ms. Brown will arrive in social media… There will also be print, online and mobile ads as well as a deal to incorporate Ms. Brown into the radio program 'Elvis Duran and the Morning Show.'"
That's right, she's taking down the patriarchy one tweet at a time. Let's see if you can handle this truth, misogynists:
Yeah! The struggle for women to make history is hard, because women have been oppressed for centuries! But it's not hard if you're candy, because you're made of delicious chocolate. Stop slacking, human women.
If I sound massively cynical about this, it's only because I am. (As I am about most advertising. As we all should be.) Sure, it's great that M&M's newest mascot is a smart and successful female and not a copy of the sexy green one. I am, I guess, as happy about that as I can be. But… we've had three female Secretaries of State at this point, so I think M&M's missed the window on this being provocative. Or even on trend. All this fanfare (which the company itself is creating) about how she's smart and outspoken makes it feel like we're supposed to laud the move as being somehow special, when my reaction is more akin to, "Thanks for catching up."
I will concede the choice to premiere the character at the Superbowl is an interesting one, though I reserve the right to change that opinion once the commercial actually airs. One overly suggestive line about melting in mouths or hands and I am out of here.
Bottom line, though: talking food is always creepy.

text: A few weeks ago I decided to buy a battery, from China, off Ebay, for $3.19....delivered. Needless to say I wasn't expecting much. What I got was so much more though. The battery came in, I charged it up (in my spiffy new .99c charger from Ebay) put it in my phone and turned it on. An hour or two later I went to bed and left the phone on all night. I awoke to find it still had 92% left. I used the phone during the day to check e-mails and make/receive a couple of calls. I don't try to conserve power in any way. I have the brightness set as high as it will go, wifi, bluetooth, and even gps were left on all day. I run a live wallpaper (City at night) and my screen timeout is 2 minutes. I even used the color flashlight app for a good 15 minutes tonight at the zoo. So here I sit 26+ hours later and the battery is still at 28%. To say that I'm happy with my $3.19 battery is an understatement. I'm going to leave the phone on again tonight to see just how long I can get with this battery.

LIHEAP and Public Health
Periodically, NEADA conducts surveys of LIHEAP recipients to document the experiences of the families and how they are coping with high energy prices for the winter heating and summer cooling seasons and whether or not higher funding levels are helping to reduce arrearages and shut-offs for those families receiving assistance. Read More
Increasing Number of Military Families Receiving Energy Assistance
The number of military families (current and former) has increased from 12% of total recipients to 21 percent since 2008, increasing from 695,760 in FY 2008 to 1.87 million in FY 2011. During this period the overall program grew by 53.5% while the number of veterans households increased by almost 169 percent. Veterans households in fact accounted for almost 38% of total growth in the program between FY 2008 and 2011. Of specific interest, 12% of all veterans receiving LIHEAP have served in Iraq or Afghanistan and 6 percent are currently serving in the military.

NDI Internships
"Being an NDI Global Health Intern was both a humbling experience and one that allowed me to grow as a person.I felt welcomed and comfortable with the organization and on the island from day one. Being part of it all, even for just a short time, really opened my eyes to the all hard work that is done, and I felt that my work was really valued during the month I was there. I would recommend this experience to anyone who is interested in working in global health!" ~ 2013 Intern, CCNM

Too hot to shop? Local retailers think not.
Despite the unseasonably warm weather and the sagging economy, local merchants say this holiday shopping season is proving profitable.
Deborah Hollaway, assistant manager of the Wal-Mart Supercenter on Lexington Highway, said the past weekend's sales exceeded profit margin expectations.
''We've been running right on schedule. We've been extremely busy,'' she said, admitting that hopes for a lucrative shopping season were dismal given the current economy, the warm weather and the events of Sept. 11. ''I think we've been busier than last year. All I know is my body's hurting now (from working so hard).''
While parking lots have been at half-capacity most days, Amber Joyce, marketing director for Georgia Square Mall, said they begin to fill in the evening as people heading home from work stop to shop.
Joyce said the remaining days before Christmas, especially the weekend and then Christmas Eve, should be ''packed'' at the mall.
''I've doubled my customer service employees (who lend out mall strollers and offer general guidance) during the evening, and we're holding pretty steady,'' she said.
Georgia Square Mall will be hosting a ''Men's Night Out'' from 6-9 p.m. Wednesday to help last-minute shoppers, particularly men, who need gift ideas for their spouses, girlfriends, daughters, etc. Radio station WPUP-FM (103.7) will be on hand to broadcast the event.
For the event, representatives from mall stores that cater to women will present ideas about fashion, jewelry and fragrance trends to help men who are lost about what to get for the women in their lives.
''We expect to have a lot of last-minute shoppers because the weather's been so hot and it doesn't dawn on people that Christmas is just a week away,'' Joyce said.
The mall also will have extended hours this week, opening at 8 a.m. and closing at 11 p.m.
Downtown merchants are also pleased with the amount of foot traffic through their stores.
''We've been doing really well; surprising because I thought it wouldn't be as strong with the students out of town,'' said Courtney DiCarlo, a sales associate at Art of It All, a downtown jewelry store that sells handmade, original pieces.
As for those last-minute shoppers who have been putting off their holiday shopping until the week before Christmas, the next two days will be crucial.
''I've been fairly busy, that's why it's taken me this long,'' said Watkinsville resident Lynn Brown.
Brown was browsing for family Christmas gifts Monday at Georgia Square Mall.
''But I will definitely have everything done by today.''

Aston Martin has revealed its most powerful - and most extreme - mainstream sportscar.
With the exception of the ultra-rare One-77, the new Vantage V12 S is the most focused machine ever created by the iconic British sportscar company.
It features more power from its 6.0-litre V12 - now producing an additional 53kW and 50Nm with maximum outputs of 423kW/610Nm - and a fatter spread of torque to improve its driveability and increase its top speed to 330km/h.
The increases come from technologies derived directly from Aston Martin's involvement in GT-style sportscar racing with the V12 now featuring CNC-machined combustion chambers, hollow camshafts and a shorter, lighter and louder exhaust system similar to that used on the One-77.
To harness the improvements, the six-speed robotised manual transaxle has been modified with sharper shifts and is 25kg lighter than the unit it replaces.
The suspension now features three-stage adaptive dampers with Normal, Sport and Track modes which is linked to a revised steering system with a similar two-mode assistance program.
Visually, the V12 Vantage S replaces the aluminium vanes in the trademark front grille with carbon fibre, has new 10-spoke alloy wheels and a subtle graphics pack that includes a black-painted roof that extends into the bootlid.
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is expected to arrive in Australia later this year.

Identify a significant symbol in the story.
- print Print
- list Cite
I think that one significant symbol in the story is the presence of written correspondence. The story opens with Nnaemeka hesitating to write a letter to his father about his impending marriage to Nene. Writing a letter is the initial conversation about Nene and Nnaemeka about their marriage, the ways of the Ibo, and the clash between their love and tradition. The writing of a letter serves to establish the basic trajectory of the work.
Once it becomes evident to Okeke that his marital wishes for his son are not going to be met, he communicates only through written format. His letters are terse and bordering on cruel. He sends back the wedding photograph sent to him with Nene's head cut out of it and essentially uses written communication to dissolve the bond between he and his son. Whereas written correspondence at the start of the story was used to represent the hopeful union and integration of family, Okeke uses written correspondence to sever such connection.
The ending of the story also features the symbolic use of written correspondence. Nene has written a letter to Okeke explaining that their sons want to meet their grandfather. It is through this use of written correspondence that Okeke has recognized the error of his ways and is overcome by regret and remorse that he will lose the opporunity to see his grandsons. Written correspondence is an important symbol in the narrative. It is a symbol of both what can be and what is, as well as the human fear of what might be given our poor choices. The use of written correspondence advances the narrative through its symbolic function.

When your Buick Roadmaster Series 80 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants a trusted name in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Buick vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your automobile. Buick automobile owners have grown accustomed to a certain level of reliability when driving their Roadmaster Series 80 around town. Your Buick dealership isn't the only place to buy genuine or original equipment quality replacement parts for your Roadmaster Series 80.
As far back as two thousand years ago, the Greeks and Romans were using hydraulic pressure to provide drinking water to cities. Your Buick Roadmaster Series 80 has a very efficient system of hydraulic pressure production and distribution that all starts in the brake master cylinder. This part compresses fluid inside the cylinder and sends it to your calipers and/or wheel cylinders. That is where the braking force from your Buick Roadmaster Series 80 brake master cylinder is applied; as the calipers and wheel cylinders create the necessary friction so you can regain control of your automobile when necessary.
Don't let a broken Brake Master Cylinder bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by buying anything but the best repair parts. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and realize incredible savings on all your upcoming repairs. Bring your Roadmaster Series 80 back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

This February I decided, once again, I needed to get healthier and take care of my body. I researched a few different gyms and, thanks to Facebook, found that one of the gyms I was looking at, which was owned by a friend, was having a sale on their membership if you locked in for a year! I talked with my husband, physically went to the gym to check out the environment and what it was like (also to get a feel of the drive), then JUMPED at the chance!
I am LOVING the classes! But I've also hit a few hiccups where I haven't gone as much as I would like to. But I have also learned something. Having an investment in the gym makes me have skin in the game so I CAN'T give up. And having a couple friends who are at the same gym makes going so much easier!
I've also learned that I can no longer say, "I'm going to try." When I do that, I set myself up with an out and thus, for failure. If I say, "I'm going to try to eat healthier and work out" I give myself that chance of when I do miss a workout or eat no so healthy to say "Well, I tried. It didn't work though."
NO! Never again!
I am putting those words out of my vocabulary! I have to own it!
I WILL eat healthier and work out. I WILL lose weight! I WILL be healthy! I WILL get into shape!
This concept really hit home lately when I became an independent distributor for It Works!. I really just wanted the free product credit! (Which I got!) I found myself thinking, "I'll try it out as a company." My awesome upline kept telling me, "You have to say it like you've got it. That is how you will succeed!" But the voice in the back of my mind kept reminded me how I've failed before.
Suddenly, I snapped. If I want to succeed, I have to own it! I'm not just going to try it as a business.
I WILL succeed and help Tanner and I pay off our debt and put money aside for the deductible on our health insurance when we decide to have a baby.
I WILL make money with MY business!
I started MY OWN business, and I WILL ROCK IT!
Of course, I go to God every day and pray that He leads me in the way He wants me to go. So far, it's lead me here. I firmly believe he led me to It Works! and to Dawn and Macie and the rest of my team. I just had to be ready to hear what they had to say and willing to let Him handle the how. He has blessed my business thus far and I am SO grateful for that!
Take "try" out of your vocabulary. Rely on God and own what you do.

Techart unveiled today the GrandGT, one of the most beautiful body kit for the Porsche Panamera. Set to make its official debut at the Auto Zurich Car Show from November 11 to 14, 2010, the new car will join the Techart Magnum based on the new Porsche Cayenne.
The new body kit includes a new front bumper with integrated splitter and large ventilation intakes as well as daytime running lights, a new Techart Aero engine hood made of carbon fiber, new side skirts, and flared fenders which increase the width of the Panamera by 21mm on each side of the front axle compared to the standard vehicle and 42mm on each side of the rear axle.
Furthermore, we find side air outlets made of high-quality polyurethane RIM, a new rear apron with integrated air openings and matching diffuser, new oval dual tail pipes integrated in the car's rear end, as well as a big rear spoiler in order to improve the downforce.
The design of the car is completed by the Techart Formula light alloy wheels are available in 20- and 21-inch, the Techart Formula II design in 22-inch or by the Techart Formula III forged light alloy wheels in 21- and 22-inch.
Under the hood we find the same 4.8-liter V8 engine found on the standard Panamera Turbo, boosted from 500 to 571 hp and an impressive 830 Nm (from 700 Nm). Pushing the standard sport button the Panamera has a significant increase of performance and driving dynamics.
These numbers were obtained thank to the Techart engine management Techtronic. Inside, the vehicle can be customized in every possible way, from fine accents such as decorative stitching in custom colour or parts in fine wood trim through to unique interior packages refined in all details.

As such, I wanted to offer the Cabot Institute's perspectives on the Green Capital and the wider University's engagement with it. And how you can become more involved.
We have been involved in Bristol Green Capital from the very beginning, dating back to Philippa Bayley's (Cabot Institute Manager) role in the Bristol Green Capital Partnership, first in helping with the bid and then serving as co-Director. Amanda Woodman-Hardy (Cabot Institute Coordinator) serves on the Partnership's Communications Action Group, Mike Harris (Cabot Institute Knowledge Exchange Manager) serves on the Industry Action Group, and Cabot academics populate many of the other Action Groups: Kath Baldock (Biological Sciences) on Nature, Wildlife and Green Spaces, Jonty Rougier (Mathematics) on Research and Evaluation, Chris Preist (Computer Science) and Caroline Bird (Law) on Energy, Trevor Thompson (Social and Community Medicine) on Health and Wellbeing and Sue Porter (Policy Studies) on Inclusion and Communities*.
We are deeply involved in this exciting event! And we are committed to making it a success. We have already committed over 5000 hours of service to the Bristol Green Capital effort and plan to increase that significantly over the coming months. We want to work, learn and innovate with people from every part of this fantastic city. And we want 2015 to only be the next step in a growing partnership.
|University of Bristol, credit UoB
A particular commitment from the Cabot Institute is to work with the Centre for Public Engagement and the wider University to host or co-host a wide range of events during 2015. From Julia Slingo's Cabot Fellowship acceptance talk in February to a major lecture during alumni weekend to a workshop and public debate on the Uncertain World, we will continue to invite inspiring intellectuals from across the globe and engage with local innovators. But we will also use the numerous opportunities and the thriving creative energy in Bristol to showcase our own academics.
We have been approached by artists (such as the amazing team behind In Between Time), private organisations, businesses and clubs asking for academic perspectives on our changing world, our changing cities and thriving in them. We are also looking forward to working with the Bristol Festival of Ideas which is taking the lead in organising much of the formal 2015 schedule, including a series of debates focussed on Youth, Business, Faith and Future Leaders. I hope that many of you will be keen to engage with these opportunities – opportunities to share what we have learned but also to initiate new collaborations. Please contact us if you are interested in partnering or if you have your own ideas!
Finally, it is on this deeper level of collaboration that 2015 has the potential to make a real difference to the city and this University. The Green Capital Year must transcend the lectures, exhibits, debates and other events and serve as a launching point for innovative ideas and new models of working together. The sustainable and smart transformation of the World's cities is essential to addressing many if not all of the environmental, food, energy and water security challenges we face. Much of the 2015 activity will reflect on the climate change negotiations culminating in Paris at the end of the year; this is also our chance to show that regardless of the outcomes of those negotiations, innovative cities and educational institutions can and will take the lead in transforming our world.
In 2015, the Cabot Institute and its Future Cities initiative will launch a new framework that will allow research to be conducted in partnership with groups from across the city and the world. This will promote innovations in education, sustainability, creative technology and low carbon energy. Moreover, it will put many of our best students at the heart of the City-University relationship. Cabot and the Centre for Public Engagement are connecting community organisations to academics in order to craft novel masters and final-year undergraduate research projects. This is just one exciting way in which we can work together – our researchers, our students and our city partners – to co-produce new knowledge.
On a final note, I am particularly proud, as an employee of the University, that we have made our own pledges. Our commitment cannot solely be research and education; we are too large a part of the city, too embedded into its fabric and infrastructure. The University has already received national recognition for its sustainability work with a Green Gown Award in 2013 for Continual Improvement: Institutional Change and a Times Higher Award for Education for Sustainable Development. But these new pledges will take us further. They include aiming to become a net carbon neutral campus by 2030; decreasing the University's transport footprint; and ensuring that every single one of our students has the opportunity to undertake education for sustainable development. Some of these will be hard to achieve. Others are only a start. But our commitment is genuine.
|Prof Guy Orpen, Deputy Vice Chancellor
at the University of Bristol.
"Bristol European Green Capital 2015 is a great opportunity for the city and the University of Bristol. We are centrally involved as a University, and as part of the city more widely, to show the world what can be done, and what we can do, to make cities happier and healthier places to live and work, throughout 2015 and far beyond."Cabot is excited to be part of this and we hope many of you are also keen to participate.
*In addition to those mentioned above, many Cabot academics and partners of the Cabot Institute have played major roles in winning the Green Capital Award and shaping the current programme. For example, Karen Bell of SPS helped shape the the Inclusion and Communities Action Group.

* Expects total imports to rise 20 pct to 10 mln T by 2020
* Mozambique may take at least 10 years to realise
* Shale gas exports to Asia will impact regional prices
By Jane Xie
SINGAPORE, Oct 28 (Reuters) - Osaka Gas Co, Japan's second-largest supplier of city gas, may step up imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Russia to feed rising demand, a top company official said on Monday on the sidelines of a conference in Singapore.
Japan's requirement for the super-chilled fuel has skyrocketed after its Fukushima nuclear disaster and it now accounts for a third of global LNG cargoes, taking the bulk from Australia, Qatar and Malaysia. With demand continuing to rise and nuclear plants still down, companies are also looking at tapping new suppliers such as Mozambique and North America.
"Russia can be a very, very strong candidate" for securing more supplies, said Osaka Gas President Hiroshi Ozaki, in an interview at the Singapore International Energy Week.
Ozaki didn't give details on how much more LNG the company might buy from Russia. It imported 390,000 tonnes from Russia in the financial year that ended March 31, compared with 260,000 tonnes a year earlier. It has an annual contract, which started in 2008, to lift 200,000 tonnes from a project in Sakhalin.
In total, the company imports about 8 million metric tonnes of LNG a year. Its annual purchases are expected to reach 10 million tonnes by 2020.
Russia is Japan's No. 4 LNG supplier, behind Australia, Qatar and Malaysia. It sold 5.6 million tonnes of the fuel between January and August this year to the world's third-largest oil consumer.
It may take Osaka Gas at least 10 years to realise its plans to import LNG from Mozambique, Ozaki said.
"It's a bit far-horizon business. But the potential is very huge," he said. "Mozambique is not a gas exporting country yet so they need some new infrastructure."
Osaka Gas has identified offshore Mozambique as one of several regions in which it would be interested in making an upstream investment. It is looking at cooperating with Tokyo Gas in buying LNG from one of the many projects planned from resources offshore the east African nation.
Mozambique, expected to eventually compete with Australia and Qatar as a major LNG exporter to Asia, is believed to have gas reserves of around 150 trillion cubic feet (tcf) - enough to meet Japan's demand for 35 years.
Ozaki expects U.S. shale gas exports to Asia to impact regional prices of LNG, because overall supplies will rise.
"If you have an option then it will have a very big impact on the pricing system," said Ozaki.
"Once the shale gas is introduced to the Japanese market, then the new suppliers must reflect the price of shale gas or other new competing suppliers," he said.
Osaka Gas, alongside Chubu Electric, has signed a 20-year liquefaction tolling agreement with Freeport LNG to process about 2.2 million tonnes of LNG a year each from Freeport's first unit starting from early 2018.
Freeport LNG in Freeport, Texas, received approval from the U.S. Department of Energy in May to export LNG at a rate of more than 10 million tonnes per annum from its first two trains.

Laser Stretch Mark Treatment – Bella Rosa Rejuvenation Clinic
Unsightly stretch marks, also known as striae, can be a confidence robber. While the exact cause of stretch marks is unknown, it is thought they are the result of the skin's collagen and elastin breaking down under stress. Pregnancy, bodybuilding and weight loss are the leading causes of stretch marks. Stretch marks occur most frequently in areas of mechanical stress such as the breasts, abdomen, thighs, and buttocks. Laser stretch mark treatment stimulates the production of collagen and improves or eliminates the appearance of stretch marks. The increased collagen production thickens the skin under the stretch marks until it closely resembles the surrounding normal skin. Additional studies show that the appearance of stretch marks continues to improve over a period of time ranging from 3 to 6 months after the laser treatment was given. Even those treatments that showed little if any initial improvement showed as much as a 50% improvement at their 6 month checkup.
What to Expect with Laser Stretch Mark Treatment
You can expect to feel a slight tingling when the laser pulses, and/or a sensation similar to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. Most patients do not require anesthetic. Mild swelling may also occur during the first 24-48 hours.
Results vary from patient to patient and may take a few weeks to be noticeable. Most patients require multiple treatments. Approximately two thirds of patients receiving laser treatments for their stretch marks notice a marked improvement. To enhance the results of your laser stretch mark treatment, you may be directed to use a tretinoin cream or a glycolic acid cream both before and after your laser treatments.
For more information about laser stretch mark treatment or to schedule a consultation, please call Bella Rosa today at 713-383-ROSA (7672) or email us via our contact page.

Luther Nissan Sales Reviews
- 1470 50th St E

- Chat with Dealer
Luther Nissan Kia uses deceptive sals practices, lies about financingWritten by uglyshirts on 12/23/09 12:00:00 AM PST Go back to Sales reviews
Recommend this dealer? No Purchased a vehicle from this dealer? No
Luther Nissan Kia runs has TV and radio ads in the area that tout the liberal nature of their financing. My credit is weak but improving, but their ads say they help these people specifically, so I was confident I'd be able to buy a the car I want there. It would be my first NEW car. Upon getting a call from and speaking with one of their their Sales Reps, JP Liesenfeld, he unequivocally tells me on the phone that credit "will be no problem." Based on the fact that his call comes after I had already submitted a credit "pre-approval" using an online form, I believe him. He says specifically, "when I started here at 21, I had the worst credit in America, and they were still able to get me approved. If they could approve me, they can approve ANYBODY." That sounds pretty encouraging to me, and I start to get hopeful. In the next few days, I received three phone calls and three e-mails from Mr. Liesenfeld, all following up on my purchasing intentions. He was pleasant, filled me in on financing incentives, offered me resources concerning the specific vehicle I'd expressed an interest in, and made small talk about a recent snowstorm. Then, I got a letter from the dealership refusing financing. I sent two follow-up e-mails to Mr. Liesenfeld, who was so VERY eager to stay in contact previously, for the purpose of asking about my options. To date, I have not gotten a response. I understand that sales are subject to credit approval, but I feel I was genuinely misled both by forms called "credit pre-approval" on the website, their ads boasting of painless credit, as well as Sales Rep JP Liesenfeld's assurance that credit would not be a problem. I have the funds to buy a car and even put down a 10% down payment, but am frustrated that I am being refused both the opportunity to buy, and the courtesy of a follow-up response after being sold a bill of goods on an over-eager sales pitch (as well as ads) that contained significantly misleading information regarding the company's financing practices. I submitted a complaint to the area Better Business Bureau, which was utterly ineffectual. Following up with them produced ZERO response, save a notification on the complaint file saying the matter is "Closed." This is news to me, as nobody ever contacted me from either the BBB, or the dealership to explain or apologize. I'm not personally looking for anything in restitution from Luther Nissan Kia. I simply object to their deceptive sales practices, TV/radio ads, and referral of online forms as being "credit pre-approval." As well, I find their complete "hot-potato" dropping of potential customers whom their sales representatives seemed VERY eager to maintain contact with right up to the point that the seemingly-promised credit approvals do not materialize to be extremely unprofessional. I am not idealistic, nor unrealistic. I just think it's poor, discourteous business practice to mislead people, and then completely cut off all contact once they stop seeing "walking dollar signs" where there are actual human beings instead.
Dealership Experience
Seems to me that you are sore about not getting financing. I didn't have great credit when I walked into Luther Nissan either, but they found a way to get me into my car - at a pretty good rate too. I think that if you can't even get financing for a car these days, you're credit is worse than you think. Not only that, but you could have got financing from another source if you felt that the Luther dealership was not being fair; don't blame Luther Nissan because you have bad credit. Perhaps you should re-think buying a new car until you can handle your finances more responsibly. The Better Business Bureau olny closes cases like that if there is no legitimate claim, this tells me that perhaps your complaint was baseless. If the BBB investigated anyone who complained because they didn't get a new car due to bad credit, they'd be too busy to work on real claims. Pay your bills on time, don't over-extend your credit, then go back to Luther and I'm certain that you'll have a delightful experience as I did.

'Painless' pledge over unpaid tax
The Government will seek to claw back unpaid income tax "as painlessly as possible", Exchequer Secretary David Gauke has pledged.
Outlining a series of measures designed to ease the pain on the hardest hit, Mr Gauke nevertheless told MPs he did not want to raise people's hopes that they could escape repayments.
With almost £2bn owed as a result of a HM Revenue & Customs blunder, Mr Gauke said the country "simply cannot afford" to write off all of the underpayments.
The intervention came after HMRC started sending out nearly six million letters to individuals who paid too much or too little income tax.
Around 4.3 million people are due a rebate, but some 1.4 million will have to hand over an average of £1,428 each.
Updating MPs on the situation, Mr Gauke said: "In total the Exchequer is owed approximately £2bn. Being left with the worst deficit in peacetime history means we simply cannot afford to write off all of these underpayments. To ensure that the tax system is fair for everyone, where everyone pays their fair share, we are taking action to recoup these funds as painlessly as possible."
Those owing under £2,000 will have the money deducted from their salaries on a monthly basis from next year, Mr Gauke said, while people owing more than £2,000 would be contacted by HMRC to discuss payment options - though he stressed that "no immediate one-off payment" would be required.
The letters were being staggered between now and Christmas to make the system manageable, he said.
And he added: "In cases of genuine hardship, HMRC will allow payments to be spread across a period of three years. As was already the case, HMRC will not pursue cases where the amount owed is for less than £300 - that's an increase from the previous threshold of £50 - and this applies to 40% of all underpayments.
"And of course in specific circumstances HMRC will consider writing off underpayments where it can be shown that HMRC was provided with all the information necessary - although I have to tell the House that from historic experience, this is unlikely to apply to many cases and we do not want to build up people's hopes unrealistically."

A federal judge will consider a request to take a key question off the November 8th ballot.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross will hear a request for a temporary restraining order on the question of cityhood for South Fulton.
This comes as early voting is well underway.
On the ballot now is a yes or no question asking voters whether they want to create a new city of South Fulton.
It would include as many as 100,000 residents, which is about the size of Sandy Springs in North Fulton.
But the precise borders of the new city haven't been decided because they're the focus of separate legal battles over annexation by the city of Atlanta.
One South Fulton resident filed suit to remove the question from the ballot, arguing the border question makes it's unclear who should be eligible to vote on the issue.
Fulton County Commission Chairman John Eaves told 11Alive's Shiba Russell that the county will "proceed as if the judge will not stop the election process."
"We are operating in good faith," he said. "We're making an educated guess that it's going to be allowed."
He said about 17,000 voters have already cast early ballots in South Fulton.
State Rep. Roger Bruce sponsored the bill to put the cityhood question on the ballot.
"If voters say no, things won't stay the same. The city of Atlanta could move to annex more of South Fulton County, primarily the Sandtown community," Rep. Bruce said.
Rep. Bruce said a new city would have a healthy bottom line, with almost $20 million in sales taxes.
