Social and Environmental Disclosure and Corporate Characteristics: A Research Note and Extension
This paper is concerned with the attempts to explain the disclosure of social and environmental information in the annual reports of large companies by reference to observable characteristics of those companies. An extensive literature has sought to establish whether variables such as corporate size, profit and industry segments can explain corporations' disclosure practices. The results from that predominantly North American and Australasian literature are largely inconclusive. This paper provides an extension of that literature by considering a more disaggregated specification of social and environmental disclosure and by employing a detailed time-series data set. By so doing, the paper tests two possible explanations for the inconclusiveness of prior research: namely that any relationships between corporate characteristics and disclosure are dependent upon the type of disclosure and that any such relationships are not stable through time. The results provide support for these explanations as sufficient, if not necessary, conditions for explaining the inconsistency in prior results. Copyright Blackwell Publishers Ltd 2001.Download Info

If Tim Scapin, the Asheville Police Department's new evidence and property manager, needed reminders of how sensitive his position is, he didn't have to wait long for them.
Scapin started the job March 4. Three weeks later, his predecessor, former APD evidence manager William Lee Smith, agreed to plea guilty to stealing drug evidence valued between $10,000 and $30,000. And in the first week of June, defense attorneys in an Asheville rape case cited the APD's past evidence-room dysfunction in a bid to have crucial DNA evidence from a "rape kit" dismissed.
The judge was not persuaded; he ruled that the evidence was sound, and the jury went on to find the defendant guilty of rape and related charges. But the deliberations offered a stark reminder of the potential consequences of a local law agency's breakdown in evidence handling.
Even before these latest developments, Scapin knew what he was getting into, he told Carolina Public Press in a recent interview.
"It's been well-publicized, the situation that led up to our current position," he said. ...
Despite the controversy over missing drugs, guns and money, "I didn't have any reservations about taking the job," Scapin said. "But I did know it was going to be a huge undertaking."
One of Scapin's major challenges will be to counter a climate of doubt about the APD and evidence in the wake of the scandal.
"I'm working every day to try to build that public confidence, that public trust, back in," he said. "Obviously, the sins of someone's past, I only have so much control over. But from the point I came in and going forward, we're locking it down and it's going to be on the straight and narrow."

We are a responsible and home-loving married teaching couple, currently based in the Middle East, who are experienced house and pet sitters. As international school teachers we get fantastic holidays and like to combine travel with looking after pets. We have previously owned cats and dogs but due to a number of factors we currently do not have any pets of our own. We are also both owners, with two properties which are rented out. We are looking for house and pet sitting assignments for mid June 2014 onwards, ideally somewhere where we can indulge our passion for long walks and caring for pets. We are equally at home in an urban or rural setting. Please ask for references from our previous assignments.

Unless you're lucky enough to happen across an extremely obscure and unusual scholarship with only one or two qualified applicants, you are going to have to face some competition to receive a scholarship award. In the case of essay scholarships that are easy to enter or that come with a substantial award, you may be facing quite a lot of competition. In fact, with many scholarship competitions, you may be up against so much competition that there's no guarantee a reviewer will even have time to completely read and digest each scholarship essay submitted. This makes your essay's introduction vitally important.
The first sentence of your scholarship application is your first, best and possibly only chance to capture your reader's attention. To have the best chance at winning scholarships, you need to know how to start your essay off right. The following are some tips to help you craft an eye-catching introduction that gets your foot in the door and gets your application the attention it deserves.
Put it in your own words. While starting with a quote is a common technique in speaking and some writing, it may not work best in a scholarship application essay. Leading with a quote shows the reviewer that you know how to read, but it doesn't tell much else about you or your ideas. Use your own words to begin, and if a quote supports or enhances your argument, consider bringing it in later in the essay.
Avoid clichés and tired phrases. One of your essay's goals should be to distinguish you from the competition, and it won't do this if it rehashes the same overused expressions that everyone else employs. Keep in mind that the scholarship reviewer will be reading hundreds or even thousands of applications. What seems clever or cute the first time doesn't seem that way after the 50th or 100th iteration. A good rule to follow is that if a phrase belongs on a bumper sticker or in an e-mail from your mom, it likely does not belong in your scholarship essay.
Establish a personal connection. If your experience gives you a unique perspective on the essay's topic, show your reader this. Most people are suckers for personal anecdotes, provided the stories are interesting and well-told. Make sure the story you tell fits these criteria and actually enriches your essay and contributes to your overall message. Don't get melodramatic and don't bog down your introduction in an overly long, detailed or irrelevant narrative, but if you've got a good story to tell to frame your essay, use it.
Say something new. Are you arguing something that falls well outside the typical series of canned responses? Consider leading with your thesis, or at least some of the information or realizations that guided your essay towards its thesis. There's no better way to stand out from a pile of fairly standard responses than to have something fresh and thought-provoking to contribute with your scholarship application.
With a solid introduction and a thoughtful and well-written response, you'll be well on your way to writing a scholarship-worthy essay.

If you haven't already been seeking out and applying for scholarships, what better time to start than National Scholarship Month? November was designated as National Scholarship Month by the National Scholarship Providers Association to bring more awareness of scholarship opportunities to the college-bound or those already pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees. The organization works with scholarship providers to make them more effective in providing you with scholarship opportunities and exposing college students to the number of awards out there.
National Scholarship Month was switched from May to November in 2008 for a reason. Now is a great time to start applying for awards, as by next spring, many scholarship deadlines have passed and funding has already been disbursed. And even if you have several months to get ready for a scholarship application deadline, apply early. Scholarships are constantly being added and created, and in a tough economy, best practice will always be to apply early and apply often to get the most out of your scholarship search.
Browse through our site for tips on applying for scholarships to improve your chances of padding your financial aid package with scholarship money. One of the biggest misconceptions out there is that your chances of winning a scholarship award are slim to none. But someone wins each award, right? Why shouldn't it be you? For an idea of the kinds of awards you could win if you put the time and effort into your scholarship search, see our Success Stories page. Many of those students applied to a lot of scholarships before winning one, or had the same apprehensions you might have about your chances to win an award. Now they're enjoying life on campus with less of a reliance on student loans and a new confidence that they were chosen to win these awards from large pools of applicants.
Celebrate National Scholarship Month by starting with a free college scholarship search, where we'll come up with a list of awards that you're specifically eligible for and have a good shot at landing. Make your search as specific as possible, as there are awards available to students based on almost any characteristic you can think of. Play up your academic strengths if that's where they are. If you have a unique hobby, use that to your advantage, as there are awards out there that could reward you for your interests. And be sure to keep your profile up to date. If you improve on your GPA, for example, you could be eligible for a number of new scholarship opportunities you weren't eligible for before.
Most important of all, go into the scholarship search with confidence. There are awards out there for you, so start looking and apply for scholarships before the school year gets away from you. Happy National Scholarship Month!

Scholarships.com is pleased to announce its 2009 Resolve to Evolve Essay Scholarship winners!
The five winners of the 2009 Scholarships.com Resolve to Evolve Scholarship tackled college costs, achievement gaps, energy policy, and post-graduation struggles in essays that provided not only their criticism and opinions, but workable solutions to problems facing the country.
College students have been creatively addressing current events and issues through the Resolve to Evolve Essay Scholarship since 2006. This year, the contest asked applicants to explore the efficacy of general education requirements or create their own "calls for change" in response to the current administration's tasks for the future. The five winners each received $1,000 scholarship awards, and will have their essays posted online and forwarded to officials who may be able to act on their suggestions.
This year's winners were Jennifer C., who argued that general education requirements should include life skills to help students get and keep jobs after graduation; Andrew K., who suggested legalizing and taxing marijuana to pay for two years of free tuition for every college-bound American; Tara M., who proposed investing in early childhood education to close achievement gaps and support lifelong learning; Yvonne V., who suggested more flexible general education requirements with a firm foundation that left room for greater freedom after the first year of school; and Tai W., who offered a strategy for energy reform in the United States.
"For me, winning the Resolve to Evolve scholarship has a special meaning. I am a returning student, and it took a lot of motivation to return to school after a seven-year hiatus. ... Winning this scholarship helped me prove to myself that I can succeed and accomplish my goals," Tai W. said about the scholarship application process.
Jennifer C. compared winning the award to "having my own cheering squad encouraging me to go on with my education and helping me succeed."To learn more about this year's winners and winners from previous years, visit our Resolve to Evolve award winners page. We also have a Success Stories page for scholarship searchers who have landed some generous scholarship funding by applying for awards early and seeking out scholarships often. Check those out to give you a confidence boost for your own search, as it's a great time to be looking for scholarships. And remember, essay scholarships aren't the only awards out there. Conduct a free scholarship search to see the kinds of awards you may qualify for, because many won't require an impressive academic record or essay-writing ability. Good luck!

Cancellations and cutbacks to scholarship programs have been making the news a lot lately. Michigan recently ended its state Promise Scholarship in the face of a budget crisis (though the state's governor vows to restore funding) and other states and companies are also having to make some hard cuts. The latest round has left five high-achieving Arizona high school juniors without the four-year full-tuition scholarship they signed a contract to receive in the fifth grade.
Budgetary cutbacks aren't the only way that students can lose scholarship money. Many scholarship funds are only designated for a set amount of time: four years, two years, or just one check. Other awards are contingent on strict eligibility criteria. A dip in your GPA, a semester where you drop below full-time, or a transfer to another college or university could potentially make you ineligible for a renewable scholarship award. All of this can change your college funding picture dramatically from year-to-year.
Students who are transferring will want to see if their new college offers scholarships for transfer students. If your scholarship is from your college, it's unlikely to transfer to your new school unless there's a preexisting special arrangement between the two institutions. However, if you've won an outside scholarship, especially one from a state or national organization, you should contact the provider to see if the award will transfer to your new school. You also will want to do a scholarship search--many national scholarship awards are designated specifically for transfer students, especially students who are moving from community colleges to four-year schools.
Students who have lost their scholarship from not meeting eligibility criteria will often have a chance to appeal the decision to revoke the award. Ask the scholarship provider if there's an appeals process, and follow the instructions exactly in as timely a manner as possible. If there are extenuating circumstances that led to the situation, you may need to document them. Above all, be polite and respectful and try to create a good impression, even if your appeal is denied. Awards that run out can also occasionally be appealed for an extension, or applied for again for a possible second round of funding. Check the rules for the contest or ask the scholarship provider if this is the case. Even if you lose eligibility for one award, it doesn't mean you're ineligible for all scholarship opportunities. Search for scholarships to see what else you may be able to find.
Finally, if your scholarship program has been canceled, there are still things you can do. Some providers, like our Arizona example above, will help students find alternate funding, and may even be able to supplement some of the difference between what they promised and what you can't find on your own. Some colleges are also making up for cuts in high-profile state and local scholarship programs by creating their own scholarship funds for the students affected. Other schools have emergency aid or one-time scholarships available to students who find themselves suddenly without the means to pay their tuition. Check with your financial aid office to see if your school can help.
Students who have already succeeded at winning scholarships are also likely to win more, since so many scholarship providers have similar criteria. If you find yourself caught without scholarship money you had planned to use, try to find some time to apply for additional awards. You may even win more money than what you lost.

Want a shot at a top fellowship, like the Rhodes scholarship? There may soon be someone on your campus to point you in the right direction. Just like college advisors and career counseling services can help you apply to graduate school or find a job, many schools are hiring fellowship advisors to help students land these competitive awards for graduate study.
Fellowship advising, once found almost exclusively at Ivy League schools, has become a growing trend at unviersities nationwide, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education. Fellowship advisors get in touch talented and ambitious students on their campuses and help motivate them to seek out and apply for prestigious fellowships, such as the Rhodes, Marshall, Truman, and Fulbright scholarships. Since the common understanding of these programs is that they are exclusively for the best of the best, usually exceptional students at top-ranked universities, many students who could qualify and potentially win don't even think about applying.
Fellowship advisors typically look for students engaged in challenging coursework, research, and extracurricular activities, and encourage them to consider graduate study and fellowship funding. For many, the goal isn't so much to have students at their schools win these prizes, but to help outstanding students define their goals, push themselves, and get the most out of their educations. The process of preparing and competing for a prestigious fellowship can be a huge help to a student, even if he or she doesn't win the award.
High school students who are committed to seeking out all possible academic and scholarship opportunities may want to see if any of their prospective colleges have fellowship advising offices. Current college students, especially freshmen and sophomores, may also want to look into this, as many fellowship programs look at students' entire college careers, not just their last year or two.
Even if your school doesn't offer fellowship advising, you can still compete for, and potentially win, prestigious graduate student scholarships. As with your college scholarship search, seek out opportunities early, and know what's required to apply. Cultivate good relationships with your professors to land excellent letters of recommendation and seize every chance to participate in research projects and extracurricular activities. Even if you don't win the award you want, these activities can help you stand out in the job search and the graduate school application process.

There are a lot of awards out there that target high school seniors and college freshman, one justification being that in order for those student populations to even consider going to college, they may need more help getting a start and funding that difficult first year. This week's Scholarship of the Week, however, targets college sophomores who have spent that first year proving themselves on their college campuses.
The Ronald Reagan College Leaders Scholarship is given to college sophomores who are making a difference on their campuses as leaders and have taken a stand against ideological conformity. The award is given annually by The Phillips Foundation, a nonprofit that looks to advance constitutional principles, free enterprise, and a democratic society. This scholarship program was launched in 1999 to provide renewable awards to undergraduates demonstrating leadership on behalf of the cause of freedom, American values, and constitutional principles. The foundation awarded more than $200,000 in new and renewed scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year.
Prize: Up to two $10,000 awards will be awarded, but scholarship renewals will also be given in the amounts of $7,500, $5,000, $2,500, and $1,000 for the 2010–2011 academic year.
Eligibility: Applicants must be college sophomores enrolled full-time and in good standing at any accredited, four-year degree-granting institution in the United States or its territories. Third-year students are eligible to have their awards renewed to help in the costs of their senior years on campus.
Deadline: January 15, 2010
Required Material: Applicants must complete an online application that will ask for proof of good standing at their accredited colleges, a short essay highlighting their personal background and scope of activities consistent with the reasons for the award, any documentation proving the students' leadership abilities, and at least two letters of recommendation.
Further details about the application process can be found by conducting a free college scholarship search on Scholarships.com. Once the search is completed, students eligible for this scholarship award will find it in their search results.

After you have created your list of scholarships and or colleges and identified the people you want to write your recommendations it is time to tackle the most important part of the application. The reason writing skills are apart of the foundation of the application is because they build up to the personal statement. The personal statement is just that; writing that makes a statement about who you are as a person. It does something that a grade point average, test score, or award cannot: it gives you the opportunity to creatively tell the scholarship or admissions review board (the people who will read and judge your application) how high school has affected you. It also provides the opportunity for the review board to gain an understanding of who you are when you leave school. The review board will be looking for students who are well rounded and that understand that school is more than just acquiring accolades and gaining a high GPA or test score. School is about growth and progression and the people who read your application will enjoy applicants who show that they understand this concept. The personal statement is your chance to show the review board that you understand, and in many instances it will be used to evaluate everything else included in your application.
Now that you see why the personal statement is so important, it's time to start writing. However, before you start writing, please check out my Top Five Don'ts When Writing a Personal Statement:
Now that you have read the "Top Five Don'ts When Writing a Personal Statement", you should be more than ready to write a great personal statement for any college or scholarship. Just remember that the personal statement is about illustrating who you are as a person in and, more importantly, outside of school. You want to find something that other parts of your application do not say, start early, be concise, be creative, and revise, revise, revise. If you keep these points in mind you will definitely set yourself apart.

Now we turn to an important and sensitive issue in education. If you follow the news in education or you find yourself around schools at just about every level, then you will probably have noticed that there are major gaps opening up between girls and boys, with boys on average falling behind girls in grades, in participation in advanced classes, and graduation rates.

Amada mia [bolero] - Cheo Feliciano sings / My beloved
My beloved... you gave me a welcomed surprise. I needed a love and you've made me fall in love.
My beloved... you are much more than I had dreamed of. You're the sweet woman of my dreams. I am all yours.
You came from silence, oriented towards the sky with your eyes of stars and your healing voice.
You are more than one life, for not keeping it yours alone, but give yourself to love.
My beloved... everything in me claims for your presence, sprinkle the rain of your innocence over my heart.
My beloved... queen of light and of hope. You have the gift of giving peace, because you are love.
You are more than one life, for not keeping it yours alone, but giving yourself to love.

NAACP, SPLC Looking into School Discipline
Posted: 9:05 PM Mar 25, 2012
Reporter: Chip Scarborough
NAACP, SPLC Looking into School Discipline
Meridian Public Schools will be the topic of conversation at a meeting taking place in Meridian on Monday evening.
The NAACP and Southern Poverty Law Center are hosting the meeting at EMEPA on Highway 39 North to discuss the severity of school discipline in the district. An attorney with the SPLC tells Newscenter 11 that students are being removed from school over minor offenses, therefore being deprived of their education.
"For all of those that are concerned about the children and families in Meridian who believe in this city's potential," SPLC attorney Shakti Belway says. "Those who would like to make things better or those who are concerned about the school discipline crisis and how children are being treated there, we encourage you to come out to this meeting."
The meeting gets underway at 7 p.m. on Monday at the EMEPA auditorium.

The Huk Rebellion: A Study of Peasant Revolt in the PhilippinesNewly available with an updated bibliographic essay, this highly acclaimed work explores the Huk rebellion, a momentous peasant revolt in the Philippines. Unlike prevailing top-down analysis, Kerkvliet seeks to understand the movement from the point of view of its participants and sympathizers. He argues that seeing a peasant revolt through the eyes of those who rebelled explains and clarifies the actions of people who otherwise might appear irrational. Drawing on a rich array of documents and in-depth interviews with peasants and rebel leaders, the author provides definitive answers to the causes of the rebellion, the goals of the rebels, and the process of resistance. |

Who Likes Music? | GBGV | Wordless Wednesday
Get your groove on for Snoopy #8, the musical Snoopy. He was originally in front of the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, but for some reason he is now in front of a candy store in downtown St. Paul. I know it's Wordless Wednesday but I have to mention that the sign in the right photo on the right side says, "Please do not climb on or stand on statues". Whoops, broke that rule, but no harm done!
Join in the fun at the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop sponsored by BlogPaws! Thanks so much for stopping by!
September 4, 2013 06:11
Woof! We love music (and candy, too) and you look terrific, Emma!
September 4, 2013 06:43
Oh…. that one has to be my favorite Snoopy so far! It's so fun!
September 4, 2013 06:43
Looks like candy on his hat and is holding candy? lol A musical candy Snoopy! Great find!
September 4, 2013 07:01
I'm sure a face as cute as yours is allowed to break all the rules
September 4, 2013 07:12
Rules are meant to be broken. Have a wonderful wordless Wednesday.
Best wishes Molly -
September 4, 2013 07:17
I am sure that rule is for humans and not pooches. And if they are, well, rules are meant to be broken.
September 4, 2013 07:19
I dunno Emma. Several of these Snoopy's have been creepy. I mean look, he has slits for eyes!
September 4, 2013 08:00
I'm thinking the candy store would be more tempting for me than the statue. But I love how you bend the rules Emma, you are definitely giving Snoopy a run for his money.
September 4, 2013 08:06
Aww! That is seriously cute! I bet Snoopy felt really lucky to be in a photo shoot with you, Emma!
Ellen Shedlarz permalinkSeptember 4, 2013 08:49
I think they should rename all the statues to Emma and Snoopy, oh ok Snoopy and Emma. Two more days until my book arrives, I can't wait for me and Katie to read it together.
September 4, 2013 09:19
Wow, how I can get a job as Snoopy? The last one had a sandwich crib and this one has candy, to be Snoopy seems like a dream job. have a great wednesday, Emma!

FleaByte permalinkSeptember 4, 2013 10:08
Emma, I love this Snoopy! Is this your next career – singing and dancing? Is your mama going to dress you like a chorus girl?
September 4, 2013 10:21
Did you figure out how to dart into the candy store while you were there?
September 4, 2013 10:23
Wish I can come to your city and go on a tour w/ u of the Snoopy Parade … It will be so much FUN but Dad have no plan to be in MN this month, BooHoo to him. Happy BlogPaws WW. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar

Don't worry, pretty sure that sign is for humans only. Now you have me looking forward to your "snoopy rundown" post once you've got them all.
September 4, 2013 11:08
You rebel, Emma! This one is so different. It's the first one with no house, right? And no Woodstock either? Poor Woodstock.
September 4, 2013 12:10

September 5, 2013 18:03
Music, candy, and Snoopy… what's not to love? I think this might be my second favorite so far.
And Emma, no one minds if YOU break the rules. Cuteness goes a long way when it comes to what you can get away with ;). -

Our partner network In 2008 we had supported more than 80 partner institutions in implementing over 160 projects in 7 Latin American countries, benefiting more than 1.6 million people in the region. During that time, we had also trained over 4.000 technicians, communicators and representatives for our partner institutions, and 40.000 community representatives and leaders. We are now working with over 1 million people in 6 countries. In order to be successful, we seek for a synergistic work with organizations which, from different perspectives, have an interest in helping Latin American families improving their access to safe water: We have signed co-operation agreements with institutions from the public sector (Health Ministries, Water Ministries, municipalities, universities, etc.), the private sector (companies) and the development sector (NGOs, United Nations' agencies, donors and more), aiming to provide them with technical assistance. We collaborate with universities and research centers specialized in safe water and health-related areas. Our scientific support Furthermore, our work is scientifically supported by the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) through its Department of Water and Sanitation in Developing Countries (Sandec) and by the Water and Environmental Sanitation Center (CASA) from San Simón University (UMSS) in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Our donors Thanks to our proved efficiency and the critical nature of our job, we have received support from internationally respected sponsors, such as the AVINA Foundation (Switzerland), the Liechtenstein Development Service (LED), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (COSUDE), the Switzerland and Luxembourg Lions Club, Michel Comte's Water Foundation, the Jürg Weber Foundation, EAWAG/SANDEC, the Swiss Red Cross, the SOLAQUA Foundation and more.

Spring Term 2009
For our spring retreat, Gamma Knox went to Give Kids the World (GKTW) in Orlando, Florida. This organization works with Make a Wish Foundation to give children, with life threatening diseases, the opportunity to go to Islands of Adventures, Hollywood Studios, or any of the Disney theme parks (Epcot, Animal Kingdom etc.) while providing housing and food for them in a theme park, animated filled property. Our time spent at GKTW was extremely rewarding - we worked from 8am-1pm and did everything from serving breakfast, driving families on a tram to and from where the wanted to go, serving ice cream, and running the carousal. Interacting with the families, celebrating birthdays in the Gingerbread House, and the opportunity to tour this wonderful facility provided us with a fantastic spring retreat.

You will fall in love with these beautiful hand made beads and charms. Each bead is hand crafted with exquisite precision and detail. Lampwork beads are created by heating a glass rod and winding it into the shape of the base bead, then intricate patterns and colors can be added to the bead with nearly limitless design possibilities. Early lampwork beads were created with the flame of an oil lamp, hence then name, but today are formed with torches.
The brilliant optical qualities of the dichroic lampwork beads came to us thanks to space age technology. NASA originally developed the unique process of stacking multiple layers of metal oxides and then fusing them with glass for satellite mirrors. The radiant spectrum of colors seen in these beads is a result of different wavelengths of light either passing through or reflecting off of various layers of metal oxides. Each bead is truly an individual work of art; continuously drawing the eye to resplendent colors as light shifts upon the bead. If you enjoy these lamp beads be sure to check out our Czech lamp beads by Jablonex, the World's foremost manufacturer of glass beads.

THE 39-year-old victim had his face cut during the incident in which various possessions were taken from the house in Edinburgh.
A BLIND and disabled man has been assaulted and robbed in his own home.
The victim, who uses crutches and a wheelchair, suffered a cut to his face and was knocked to the ground during the "despicable and opportunistic" theft.
The 39-year-old was in his Edinburgh home shortly before 1pm yesterday when there was a knock on his door.
When he opened it, a man forced his way into the Broughton Road property, wielded a sharp object and robbed the man of various possessions.
The victim suffered the facial cut and was knocked to the ground during a struggle before the intruder fled from the property.
Officers at Lothian and Borders Police are looking to speak to anyone who can help them catch the suspect.
He is said to be about 5ft 10ins and slim. He had a local accent and is thought to be in his mid twenties or early thirties.
The intruder also had a strong smell of stale body odour, smoke and alcohol.
Detective Sergeant Dave Pinkney said: "This was a despicable and opportunistic theft which targeted a vulnerable man who was virtually unable to defend himself.
"Despite his visual impairment, the victim has provided us with a fairly detailed description of the suspect and we are carrying out enquiries within the local community to identify him.
"Anyone who was in the Broughton Road area on Thursday afternoon and remembers seeing anything suspicious, or who can help us trace the man responsible for this crime, is asked to contact police immediately."
Anyone with information can police on 0131 311 3131.

Heather Heather Heather….why do you have to do this. So last week I posted this post (x) regarding how much i was annoyed/disappointed by Heather just out front telling Vincent she doesn't trust him when she could have just told this to her sister in private and blah blah blah (you can read the rest of that post by clicking the "x"
Anyways I just find the scene above hilarious because Heather's going all out and crewing Vincent out about being a smooth talker, getting her flowers, and saying she doesn't trust him when she isn't noticing any of those qualities with Darius (who is the shady character according to the promo of him holding the gun and the episode description saying Heather gets herself into the wrong crowd)
But who knows, maybe Darius hides it off really well. Either way I hope at some point Heather realizes Vincent isn't the creepy/shady person here and admits she was wrong.

Well i just learned one of my first lessons when actually brewing your own beer not from a kit. When you add your bittering hops in the wort boils up, alot. Oh P.S. for those of you who don't know yet (I'm sure everyone already does) that stuff is REALLY sticky. 1 lesson down, 2000 to go.
keep a spray bottle of water close by and use it to knock down the foam
simplified signature: beer, wine, cheese in various stages of production
That's a good idea, didn't even think of that. I just kinda went "oh sh!t!" Watched it spill over and turned off the heat.
guess how i know
Lol. Good to know i'm not the only one out there getting wort all over the place
I use a gas stove so I just slide it off the burner a bit. You can slowly move it back over the flame once it drops...and lower the flame a bit. Sometimes I'll boil it while half the pot is not directly over the flame until it subsides.
I have a gas stove (currently still doing partial boils so it works) and when I add anything, I shut off the heat.
I'm using a little electric stove in my apartment so i don't have to much room to work with. The only reason it boiled over cause the pot was to little. I just dumped it into a pot about twice as high and it was fine. I'll definitly use that water bottle method till i get a nicer stove.

Comfortable, Family Friendly Condo With An Excellent Location
Comfortable, Family Friendly Condo With An Excellent Location
- Guest Laura C.
- Date of stay 02/11/14
- Review Submitted 03/04/14
We stayed here with our two small children for 10 days and were more than comfortable during our visit. Upon arrival, the condo was very clean and we found it was well represented by the photographs and description. We had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us and found the condo well equipped for all our needs. This condo is perfectly situated near the shuttle line to take you to the mountain or town. In the evening, we actually enjoyed walking to Ketchum for dinner and drinks at many of the places Doug suggested during our stay. We've stayed in Elkhorn previously and now can't imagine staying any further from the mountain or town . Doug went above and beyond to be sure we were comfortable and you can tell there is pride of ownership and care for the renters. We were greatly appreciative of his hospitality. One note as mentioned by another review -- we were also initially concerned during the reservation process, because a check was the only accepted payment. However, Doug accommodated our request to provide additional information to confirm that everything was legit and everything worked out fine. We would definitely recommend this condo.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers.

We stayed here with our two teenagers and another couple for a long ski weekend. The condo is as advertised and well represented by the photographs. We had plenty of space and the kitchen had everything we needed. This condo is located near the base of the mountain and it was easy to get to the ski resort or downtown. This owner does extra special things for you as well. We had firewood ready for our use upon arrival and a nice bottle of wine. These extra amenities just pushed everything over the top and you can tell that this owner cares about your experience. I will say I was a bit concerned at first in reserving the condo because the owner would only take payment by check verses paypal, credit card, or some other form of payment that would provide some protection. It was a lot of money for us to rent and if it turned out to be a scam we would be out the money with no recourse. But this place is legit and we were very happy. Also, Doug mailed my check for the damage deposit back to me soon after our departure. We had no problems and I only mention this one issue so that others with similar concerns will know that everything worked out fine for us. I would recommend this place and hope to return next year.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers.

Our condo was warm, cozy and inviting. Everything felt new and in great condition. Loved the warm interior paint colors and the contrasting cushy and wood furniture. Also, the ski motif was fun yet understated. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the eating and cooking items we needed. Plenty of plush towels for bathroom and hot tub. The wall heaters in the bathrooms were a nice touch. As was the boot heater. Linens and bed were high quality all around. Location was great for town but removed enough to feel secluded. Although we did not make a fire, there seemed to be plenty of wood. It was not a large condo unit, yet the high ceiling and picture windows made it feel spacious enough. Were there for 3 nights, wish we had 1 more more day to ski and take in more of the town life.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, families with teenagers.

This condo worked perfectly for our family of 4 plus uncle. it was outfitted with everything we needed including a relaxing hot tub and ping pong in the rec. room. Loved the short walk to the ski hill each morning and into town each evening. Ate some amazing food in ketchum thanks to Doug's helpful Recommendations. We highly recommend this condo and hope to make it back when the snow is a little more plentiful. Sun valley was a fun place to ski down the long groomed run and enjoyed breaks at the beautiful lodges with more delicious food.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.

This condo has everything! When we arrived we were treated with a note and a bottle of wine. The location is walking distance to RiverRun, walking trails and town. There is a bus stop next to the condo if you prefer the free bus. The condo exceeded expectations. The sheets were all flannel and the towels were soft and thick. Everything was in place in the kitchen to meet any cooks needs. There was plenty of gas in the grill and fire wood for a daily fire. Any question we had there was an amazingly clear and convent answer at our finger tips. Even though all of this sounds great what really makes this property so great is the owners. We booked the trip ten months in advance. The owners always responded quickly no matter what silly questions we had. We truly enjoyed our experience and would only stay in another property if it had the same owners!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.

Enjoyed each day of our time in Ketchum and the condo was everything pictured or written in the advertisement. The condo is very clean and included everything needed for a vacation. It is convenient to the main walking/bike trail, restaurants, bus stop and most important a coffee house for our morning coffee. (However, the unit has a very nice coffee pot). Each day was an adventure - watching the paragliders, attending one of the many music events, riding the gondola, yoga, driving to Stanley. The Owner deserves high marks for his very though instructions, recommendations for restaurants or events in the area. Plan to return next summer.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.

This rental was a great fit for our group. Everything was in great condition, very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. We had three families with kids, 3, 2 and 6 months and the loft layout worked out well for varied schedules and allowed everyone to spread out a bit. The location was also perfect and gave easy access to trails and to town.Recommended for: Families with young children.

The accommodations were everything we hoped for. We had four adults and two children staying in the condo and the place accommodated everyone well. Two full baths were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with glasses and other essentials which made grabbing or sharing a snack easy. We enjoyed several easy walks to town for dining and made short car trips to Sun Valley and the gondola. The kids loved playing in the development's pool after hiking six miles on Baldie. Arranging payment and logistics were very easy and professionally handled. We would definitely stay here again when we return to the area.Recommended for: Age 55+, girls getaway, romantic getaway, adventure seekers, families with young children, sightseeing, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.

Martin Scorsese must hate taking vacations, because he certainly has shown no signs of slowing down in recent years. According to indieWIRE, Scorsese is currently attached to direct the financial drama The Wolf of Wall Street. The article also points out that this film will reteam the venerable director with his frequent collaborator and leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. The Wolf of Wall Street will be based on the memoir of the same name, which chronicles the rise and fall of infamous Wall Street broker, Jordan Belfort.
However, The Wolf of Wall Street won't be Scorsese's next project after his 3D children's movie Hugo Cabret (opening on December 9), according to indieWire. Apparently the oft-delayed film Silence is Uncle Marty's immediate focus. Based on a novel by Shusaku Endo, Silence revolves around the persecution of two Jesuit missionaries in 17th century Japan. Daniel Day-Lewis, Benicio Del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal have all been rumored to have roles in the film.
Silence has long been a passion for Scorsese, but a series of legal problems have delayed the film's production. But with those battles settled, it appears as though the director with the most famous eyebrows in the Western world is set to finally deliver.
