What are the benefits of mineral makeup over traditional makeup? What makes it different than the regular makeup I've used for years?Mineral makeup is comprised of micronized minerals, so it actually sits on the surface of the skin and isn't absorbed into it. Therefore, mineral makeup will not clog pores or get a cakey look in lines or creases. Mineral Fusion is a better choice than traditional makeup because it is not only non-comedogenic, but the formulation are pharmaceutical-grade, free of parabens, chemical dyes and perfumes, and are created with natural preservatives, making them healthy and effective for all skin types. Minerals often used in mineral makeup include micronized Titanium Dioxide (which acts as a natural sunscreen), Iron Oxides (which give color to the makeup), Zinc Oxide (a natural sunscreen and soothes skin). Mineral Fusion does not contain talc. Talc is the #1 ingredient in many traditional makeup formulations and is used as a filler - unfortunately it can clog pores and make fine lines look worse, the longer it is on the skin. Mineral Fusion makeup lays on the surface of the skin and allows your skin to breathe and function normally. It's better to wear it than no makeup at all.
Okay, how is Mineral Fusion different than other mineral makeup?The industry has changed and new technology is available. The new innovations bring clinically superior antioxidants and pharmaceutical grade mineral makeup together in a color palette as rich as the nature-inspired colors they are modeled after. Because this line utilizes the best technology available, they have eliminated some of the problems common with older mineral makeup technology: until now, you could wear mineral makeup that was good for your skin OR you could wear the industry's hottest colors and richest hues in traditional makeup lines. Mineral Fusion offers both, proving beautiful colors and treatment benefits work together beautifully. Modern women are conscious about their skin at a much younger age, and all women value color trends. By incorporating pharmaceutical treatment benefits and a brilliant color palette, Mineral Fusion is able to provide flawless coverage and healthy skin in a mineral cosmetic that appeals to women of all tastes and styles. Plus, Mineral Fusion pressed base is a no-mess alternative to other mineral makeup lines who offer a loose base formulation.
Is it true that mineral makeup contains a natural sun block?Mineral makeup provides natural, broad-spectrum UV protection from nature's elements without skin irritation. In a world, that's turning to a "green" and a more natural way of living, artificial chemicals and preservatives are being left behind. Earth-based minerals are a wonderful alternative to chemical-laden cosmetics. Mineral Fusion makeup contains Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide that will provide UVA and UVB protection.
What is the difference in the pureness of minerals?All minerals are a natural formation of the earth. The main difference between them when it comes to cosmetics is how they are processed and refined. Mineral Fusion an Italian triple mill process, making them the finest quality possible. Using minerals any finer than that (nano-particle) can clog your pores instead of staying on the surface.
Mineral makeup lines claim to be 100% pure. Are they?Minerals in their raw form are pure. Based on the formulation (loose, pressed, liquid), other ingredients are blended with the minerals. This does not change the pureness or the benefits of the minerals; however, the different formulations allow each customer's skin condition needs to be more specifically met.
Is there a special way to apply mineral makeup?The application of mineral makeup is different than traditional makeup. Since Mineral Fusion contains no talc (filler), you actually need less product on the brush to see more product on the skin. You can alter the coverage by using the right brush. The longer the hair is on the brush, the more coverage you will achieve. The blender brush gives a sheer medium coverage and the flawless brush gives a medium to full coverage. Mineral Fusion recommends doing multiple layers of sheer coats.
Is Mineral Fusion makeup easy to apply?Yes! Using the "Brush and Blend" technique, it's simple to achieve the coverage and finish you want. First-time wearers commonly apply too much. Because they are used to using makeup that has large amounts of filler and not a lot of "pay-off"; they use the same techniques when applying Mineral Fusion. You can customize your needs by lightly building your layers until the desired coverage is achieved.
Are the powder bases drying?Yes. Because this is a light-reflective cosmetic, it diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles to give a healthy glow to the skin, making it look younger, while matte makeup absorbs light and allows the eye to see "into" the skin. Spritz the hydration mist both before and after applying the base. This sets the makeup, soften fine lines and gives a dewy look.
Does Mineral Fusion makeup work on older or aging skin?Yes. Because this is a light-reflective cosmetic, it diminishes the look of fine lines and wrinkles to give a healthy glow to the skin, making it look younger, while matte makeup absorbs light and allows the eye to see "into" the skin. Spritz the hydration mist both before and after applying the base. This sets the makeup, softens fine lines and gives a dewy look.
Can Mineral Fusion be used on compromised skin or skin undergoing treatments?Yes, Mineral Fusion can be applied immediately after a microdermabrasion or a light peel. It will not only cover the redness but the titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are known anti-inflammatories, that will help to calm the skin. Application after laser resurfacing must depend on the physician's permission, which can be from 5-12 days, depending on the laser used and how deeply it was used. It is essential for healing skin to be protected from the sun. Minerals provide this as well as coverage and soothing properties.
Is the makeup safe for sensitive skin types?It's important to know that anyone can be allergic or sensitive to anything. However, Mineral Fusion makeup does not contain the top three sensitizers, fragrance, FD&C dyes and synthetic preservatives. Individuals with extreme chemical sensitivities wear this makeup successfully.
Is it all right to use it on acne-prone skin?Yes, Mineral Fusion makeup is completely non-comedogenic and allows the skin to breathe and function normally. It also easily covers redness common with breakouts without clogging the pores. Minerals like Zinc Oxide can even be healing to an acne condition. You can conceal and heal with Mineral Fusion.
What does "undertone" mean?Your undertone is your skin's natural shade, which never changes. If you have a golden undertone, you will be golden for life. Tones vary from light to dark based on a person's ethnicity.
What does "surface tone" mean?Varying color on the surface of the skin includes redness, freckles, acne, hyper pigmentation, etc.
How do I know what my undertone is?Look at the inside area of your forearm. Do you see yellow, green, peach or pink? This is a good indicator of what your true undertone is. Or, if you hold your arm next to a white sheet of paper, you will also be able to see your skin's undertone. If compared to the white paper, your arm appears to be pink, then most likely your undertone is pink/peach. If it appears to be yellow/green, then most likely your undertone is golden/yellow/olive/deep.

The Thrill of the Hunt
Gustave Courbet,
Deer in the Forest
, 1868, oil on canvas, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, gift of James J. Hill
People have enjoyed hunting for centuries. For some people, hunting is a matter of survival. But for the elite, it is more a stylish pastime than a necessity. Recreational hunters love the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of a successful adventure. Because of the sport's popularity, pictures of hunting escapades have been fashionable throughout time.
The artist Gustave Courbet was an avid hunter. His passion for the sport, along with the demand for hunting images, inspired him to paint numerous outdoor scenes. In fact, he painted more than thirty hunt pictures from 1850 through 1873. Some were paintings of hunting parties in action out in the field. Others were more peaceful scenes depicting animals at rest in their natural surroundings. Regardless of the scene, Courbet always tried to paint the animals in a sympathetic way.
Here we find two deer in a lush, wooded environment. Both are helping themselves to a tasty snack of tree leaves. The antlers on the deer in the foreground tell us that it is a stag (male). The deer in the background is probably a doe (female) because its antlers are very short. Courbet captured both deer in a moment—the stag is up on his hind legs as he reaches for leaves and the doe's curved legs show that she is resting on the grass. If Courbet painted this pair out in the woods, he would have had to make quick observations to catch their movements. Deer are rather skittish animals and wouldn't have been the best models to work with. Therefore it is believed that for some of his scenes, Courbet borrowed deer from a Parisian butcher.
1. Courbet loved nature, and painted both animal scenes and landscapes.

Sesame StreetPosted Friday, July 11, 2008, at 10:04 AM
Lazy. That was the word of the day Wednesday on Sesame Street. Throughout the program the characters used the word and explained its meaning. What better word to share with kids enjoying their summer vacation?! By showing children what it means to be lazy and placing a somewhat negative connotation with the word; kids will want to be more active (or that is the theory behind the idea).
It didn't stop there. Sesame Street continued on with a "Meal or No Meal" game show, similar to the prime time show, "Deal or No Deal". The contestant had to pick from six covered plates, without looking, hoping hers had a meal underneath it. Meanwhile, she selected from the other six plates, hoping they did not contain a meal. The first offered a plate of chewing gum. "Not a meal!" they shouted! The baker called and offered her one cookie for her plate. She said, "NO MEAL"! Next, it was an ice cream sundae. "Not a meal!" they shouted! The baker's next offer was a dozen cookies for her plate. She shouted, "NO MEAL"! This went on until it was time to see what was underneath her plate. It was, "A MEAL"! The game show host requested they look underneath the last plate not picked, it was 100 cookies…"Who could eat 100 cookies?" questioned the contestant, and here came Cookie Monster, out to eat the cookies! It is awesome that programs like Sesame Street are taking action to reduce childhood obesity by educating YOUNG children on the importance of eating smart and not being lazy. Hopefully this new spin on the beloved program will encourage parents and children alike to get out and move and eat a healthy lunch, and a cookie every now and then. Speaking of cookies, try these tasty lemon cookies, from the recipe collection of Aunt Carri Case. Lemon Crisp Cookies 1 package lemon cake mix 1 cup crisp rice cereal ˝ cup butter, melted 1 egg, beaten 1 tsp. grated lemon peel Directions: Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Dough will be crumbly. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on un-greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. |

Pros: The tape is just like the original. It's heat resistant and usually used to keep electronic parts in place and insulated. For example it's used in laptops to keep some wires in place or to tape a wireless card so it does not move or cause a short circuit.

Early Childhood Interventions
Proven Results, Future Promise
Parents, policymakers, business leaders, and the general public increasingly recognize the importance of the first few years in the life of a child for promoting healthy physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Nonetheless, many children face deficiencies between ages 0 and 5 that can impede their ability to develop to their fullest potential. The PNC Grow Up Great initiative, a program financed by PNC Financial, Inc., asked RAND to prepare a thorough, objective review and synthesis of current research that addresses the potential for various forms of early childhood intervention to improve outcomes for participating children and their families. The authors consider the potential consequences of not investing additional resources in the lives of children, the range of early intervention programs, the demonstrated benefits of interventions with high-quality evaluations, the features associated with successful programs, and the returns to society associated with investing early in the lives of disadvantaged children. Their findings indicate that a body of sound research exists that can guide resource allocation decisions. This evidence base sheds light on the types of programs that have been demonstrated to be effective, the features associated with effective programs, and the potential for returns to society that exceed the resources invested in program delivery.

Other notable pronunciations (wrong, but we can let them off) are:
The British Army and RAF say "Lef-tenant"; Americans say "loo-tenant", which is how it looks, but we're not concerned here with form over function.
The military rank most often made fun of; a Lieutenant is an officer, and therefore outranks all enlisted personnel (often well over 50% of the total force), but:
The situation is right out of Dilbert; your boss has been assigned over you not because he knows what he's doing, but because somebody has taught him to be the boss. In any case, Lieutenants generally fill middle management roles, and so are ripe for jokes like those in Office Space. In combat, however, ineptitude is handled in a manner Charles Darwin would approve of: in Vietnam, the average life span of an Army Second Lieutenant in the field was under 4 days.
The pronunciation of "Lieutenant" is another strange thing that makes American Lieutenants laugh when they go to any country formerly owned by the UK (not counting America). I've never met any English Lieutenants, so I don't know if they laugh about it when they come over here, too, but the difference is in the first syllable:
They say "LEF-ten-unt", we say "LOO-ten-unt", and the original French pronunciation is closer to "LYUH-ten-awng". When I was last over in the UK at Mildenhall Royal Air Force Base (shortly after I had gotten my commission as a second lieutenant), I was waiting for my flight back to the states when the lady behind the counter called out my rank and last name over the loudspeaker. I almost went into a convulsive giggling fit.
In addition to the explicit rank of Lieutenant as described by Jurph above, the term "Lieutenant" shows up in the name of certain other ranks in all of the US Armed Forces.
Because of similar etymology, "Lieutenant Commander" (Navy), "Lieutenant Colonel" (Army, Air Force, Marines), and "Lieutenant General" (Army, Air Force, Marines) all are typically the right-hand man (or woman) to the "full" version of the rank. Additionally, for the most part these ranks come with assignments to teach and test the responsibilities of the next higher rank; officers holding these "in lieu of" grades typically are promoted relatively quickly to the next higher grade, where they spend an extended length of time. In the US Army, for example, an officer can expect to spend 5-7 years as a Major, but only 2-3 as a Lieutenant Colonel before being promoted to a "full bird" Colonel (where he or she will usually serve for up to ten years, although retirement tends to comes first at these ranks).
This does create some confusion, though, particularly on behalf of the "order" of the General officer ranks. In order from lowest to highest in the Army, Air Force and Marines, the ranks go Brigadier General (O-7), Major General (O-8), Lieutenant General (O-9) and General (O-10). Those learning the rank structure of their respective service often wonder why a Major outranks a Lieutenant but a Lieutenant General outranks a Major General. The explanation is again in the etymology. As Jurph points out above, "Lieutenant" as a rank on it's own is indicative of someone who functions in the place of a Captain -- essentially a "Lieutenant Captain" if there were such a term. A Major, on the other hand, is someone who is simply "above" others -- hence a Sergeant Major who holds the highest of the Sergeant ranks*. Therefore while a Major General holds a high degree of responsibility and is in charge of a great number of people, a Lieutenant General is only slightly below a full General and can essentially function in his or her absence.
1 Yes, Sergeant Major isn't technically the highest rank; a Command Sergeant Major or Sergeant Major of the Army/Marine Corps will "outrank" a SGM, but these positions all hold the same grade. The Air Force alleviates (some of) this confusion by using the terms "Senior" and "Chief" (akin to the Navy's use of "Chief").
Lieu*ten"ant (?), n. [F., fr. lieu place + tenant holding, p. pr. of tenir to hold, L. tenere. See Lieu, and Tenant, and cf. Locum tenens.]
An officer who supplies the place of a superior in his absence; a representative of, or substitute for, another in the performance of any duty.
The lawful magistrate, who is the vicegerent or lieutenant of God. Abp. Bramhall.
2. (a)
A commissioned officer in the army, next below a captain.
A commissioned officer in the British navy, in rank next below a commander.
A commissioned officer in the United States navy, in rank next below a lieutenant commander.
⇒ Lieutenant is often used, either adjectively or in hyphened compounds, to denote an officer, in rank next below another, especially when the duties of the higher officer may devolve upon the lower one; as, lieutenant general, or lieutenant-general; lieutenant colonel, or lieutenant-colonel; lieutenant governor, etc.

We're coming up on another end of the world prediction, but this one's done by the Mayans, so, y'know, it's serious. But it was serious twelve years ago, too.
Remember the year 2000? End of the world, the machines take over, the aliens invade. How about in 1997, when the human race finished its transformation into a totalitarian society on a planet consumed by toxic waste? Neither do I. But as humans always do, we panicked. We built bomb shelters, stocked up on Twinkies and kerosine, and Hollywood moved quickly to capitalize on our fears by filming a ton of end-of-the-world films, and if those films and TV shows outlive us, some future civilization will believe all those things have truly happened. Here are just a few of the worst movie future predictions.
Note: Back to the Future, you have three years, do you hear me? I want hoverboards, hovercars and powerlacing sneakers.

Teaching Translation from Spanish to English: Worlds Beyond Words
Title: | Teaching Translation from Spanish to English: Worlds Beyond Words |
Author: | Beeby-Lonsdale, Allison |
Abstract: | While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, she demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. She presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. |

'Chunk' from "The Goonies" on High Frequency Trades and the Flash Crash
Meyer Lansky, a key architect of modern organized crime, often referred to as "The Chairman of the Board," built a gambling empire that stretched from New York to Las Vegas to Cuba and back again.
His casinos were luxurious, crowded affairs, a far cry from the "clip-joints" he must have known growing up on the mean streets of the Lower East Side.
"Clip-Joint" was a pejorative given to describe the crooked gambling halls of the day. The dice were loaded, the deck was stacked, the roulette wheel was fixed and every gambler that went in got clipped.
Between the flash crash, the stunning increase in the VIX and the vesuvian eruptions of trading volume seemingly detached from any underlying economic news; it is beginning to feel like Wall Street has become a clip-joint, at least for the average retail investor.
Rise of the Trading Machines
High Frequency Trading, involves complex, rapid, computerized, algorithmic trading of various financial instruments. Firms that engage in high frequency trading, "HFTs", usually end the trading day with no net holdings (i.e. they have liquidated every position they entered).
By all accounts HFTs played a major role in the Flash Crash of May 2010when the Dow went from being down 300 points to being down 1,000 points within 5 minutes. The SEC/HFTC issued a joint report regarding the Flash Crash which reads in part: "The combined selling pressure from the Sell Algorithm, HFTs and other traders drove the price of the E-Mini down approximately 3% in just four minutes…HFTs began to quickly buy and then resell contracts to each other—generating a 'hot-potato' volume effect as the same positions were passed rapidly back and forth."
HFTs currently constitute a majority of trading volume for US Equities. Consequently, there has been a significant increase in the VIX (the index gauging the volatility of the S&P 500). According to Gary Wedbush, EVP and head of capital markets at Wedbush Securities, "You can look at a VIX chart and that's almost perfectly correlated to high-frequency trading volumes."
There is nothing inherently wrong with computerized trading. However, the enormous impact the HFTs have on the market, makes it extremely difficult for individual investors to determine if a 200 point increase in the Dow is based upon fantastic economic news or just robo traders playing footsie with their equations.
In discussing the impact of HFTs on retail investors, Jim Cramer wrote: "(HFTs) have a speed edge and weapons that are like machine guns in World War I and individual investors are foot soldiers, mowed down by a new technology they can't understand. The individual investor is fodder in the face of these fields of fire."
However, not everyone dislikes the HFTs. The exchanges love them. Considering the volume of trades and the resulting revenue the HFTs generate for the exchanges, I understand their position. It squares nicely with their short term financial interests. The exchanges argue that HFTs create additional market liquidity. That is true, but the type of liquidity that can make the Dow drop 600 points in 5 minutes is the type of liquidity that can drown a retail investor.
From "Clip-Joints" to "Carpet-Joints"
Back to our pal, Meyer Lansky.
He made a fortune, because he realized that in the long run the casino makes more money when the dice are not loaded, the deck is not stacked and the roulette wheel is on the up and up. In his swanky establishments, lovingly dubbed "Carpet-Joints," the customers knew, win or lose, the game was fair and square. Wall Street would be well served to follow Lansky's lead on this point.
The house always has its mathematical advantage and market makers always have their spread. Gamblers and investors expect that. But they also expect a fair shot, honest dice, a market that effectively values assets.
Unfettered, high volume computerized trading may be good for short-term profits at the exchanges. But, for the long term good of the financial community and the country, retail investors need to trust that the market accurately reflects underlying economic conditions and are not merely algorithmic tornadoes conjured up by the HFTs.
If retail investors lose faith in the integrity of the market, the trip from carpet-joint to clip-joint is a short one indeed.

Catholics teach that the fear of god is a gift from the holy spirit.
Fear = Wisdom? Really?
I used to fear GOD. It was real to me and a constant source of stress. Perhaps when atheists speak of new found freedom, some of it is really the shedding of fear. Did you ever "FEAR the LORD? and if so, how did it feel to ditch that fear?
My parents never ever told me no supernatural, superstitious, paranormal, magical bs in my entire life; not even Santa, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, boogyman, bigfoot, etc etc. I was lucky; hell has been absurd for as long as I can remember. And I`m glad of it.
Yeah...god was like this sadistic father that I could never live up to who was supposed to love me, but would fry any of his children in hell for breaking some really stupid rules. I got pneumonia as a child and while pretty close to death I was hallucinating and talking about how much burns hurt and I would feel that forever. Scared my poor mother badly. How wonderful is religion?
When I realised god was an incompetent dick, I knew I could never fear such a being. I became an atheist shortly afterwards.
Yep when I was a believer, we were to told to obey, fear and love god. Also that hose who don't fear god, are the ones who will stray away and commit sins. Committing a sin in Islam is a huge thing.
I outgrew fear of God at around the same age that I outgrew fear of the dark and for all the same reasons.
When I believed there was a god, I thought of him as another grandpa - up there rooting for me and laughing at my mistakes. I think I got scared once - the first time I sad, "FUCK!" I really only got scared when I began to doubt, when I began to do my own research about whence the bible came to be. The more I dug, the more I felt like I was doing something really awful that would have horrible consequences.
I got scared once I discovered my genitalia's other function.
Hell and demons were some of the biggest sources of terror for me as a child.
I always knew that if there really was a god, he'd know that I doubted, so that's where I was going.
Also, when you read any religious texts and you're told from a young age that possession is real and possible.....especially if you doubt?
Stress? That's so far beyond stress.
I was always taught that to fear the Lord meant to revere him. It was a reverence - a deep respect. I can honestly say it has not disappeared in me as of yet...hard to explain. Ya know?
I constantly felt fear while I was a Christian, although it was more of a fear of hell than it was a fear of God. I was constantly afraid that I would end up in hell and might not really be "saved." When I first stopped believing in hell and the fear of it started to disappear, it was one of the best feelings I had from my deconversion experience and rather liberating, like a tremendous weight was suddenly lifted. I'd still get dreams where I ended up going to hell, but they no longer scared me anywhere near as much either.

Michael J. Anastasio Jr. Director, Strategic Solutions Contracts Division General Services Administration
Michael Anastasio has been a key player in the effort to demystify cloud computing and make the necessary tools readily available to agency leaders.
He led the effort to create the Infrastructure as a Service contract, a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement that offers Web hosting services and storage as commodities. It also saves agencies the time and expense of conducting their own authorization and accreditation of vendors. But the unusual approach meant that participants on both sides had many questions. Anastasio handled the award process adroitly and continues to manage the contract with the same skill and efficiency.
He is making sure GSA's Federal Acquisition Service stays true to its mission of providing the highest quality and best value to agency customers while keeping up with technological advances.

You are eligible to apply for transfer once you have accrued a minimum of 27, and a maximum of 33 credits from a law school which is a member of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS).
For transfer students, UW Law will accept all of the credits earned during the student's first-year program. Additional credits earned after the first-year are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Transfer students are expected to be in residence for a minimum of five quarters and 85 quarter-hour credits. These students are also eligible for graduation with honors based upon academic performance in the second and third years of law school at UW Law. Please note that after you have been admitted, the Associate Dean for Students will determine how many of the credits you earned at your prior school will transfer and whether you have completed UW Law's core first-year curriculum.
The Admissions Committee will not review any transfer application until it is complete, i.e., we have received all requisite materials. For many applicants, this process is often delayed by the receipt of their complete first-year transcript, official letter of good standing from their current law school, or release of their 1L ranking. Interested transfer students are encouraged to begin this process as soon as possible as the assembling of these materials can often take longer than anticipated. We take a holistic approach to reviewing all transfer applicants. We do not assign specific weights to individual aspects of a candidate's file. Consistent with this approach, we consider a number of factors when reviewing transfer applications, and no single factor is determinative. Such factors include, but are in no way limited to: undergraduate GPA, first-year law school performance, current institution, letters of recommendation, LSAT score, and the letter of good standing from your current law school. There is no cut-off for class rank, class percentile, or GPA.
We begin review of transfer applications as files are completed. Applicants are notified on a rolling basis as soon as decisions are made.
Yes, however, it matters less than it did when you initially applied to law school. With a year of actual classroom experience behind you and the grades that accompany it, there's less need for a prediction from a test score.
The number of transfer applications varies greatly from year to year. More importantly, the number of admission offers also varies and frequently depends on both the size of the second-year class and the total law school population. Like our regular admissions process, our transfer admissions process is competitive.
Yes, transfer students previously enrolled as part-time students may apply to UW Law's full time program provided they have completed the equivalent of the first-year curriculum.
To be considered for transfer admission, you must also submit a letter of Good Academic Standing. This letter should be prepared from your law school Registrar or Academic Dean and must provide (a) your class rank at the end of your first year of law school (if it's not on your law school transcript) and (b) state that you are in good academic standing and eligible to continue. If your school does not rank its class, then a letter from the Registrar or Academic Dean's office must be included stating such.
Generally, August 1. If offered admission, you will be required to make a seat deposit of $500. You will not have access to the Center for Professional & Leadership Development, or be able to register for classes until your seat deposit is received.
Typically, transfer students are ineligible for scholarship. If, however, scholarship funds become available, transfer students will be considered.
Unfortunately transfer applicants are not eligible for application fee waivers.
We understand that each law school may not have all of the information by June 15. Students should still submit their transfer application by June 15 and should contact us if the information will not be available.
Though strong academic performance is an important factor to the admissions process, the admissions committee is also looking for other indicators of academic success, e.g., leadership and volunteerism.
Outside activities will enhance your chances if your first year grades are also strong. Extracurricular activities do not substitute for strong academic performance.

The fairways are relatively tight, and ponds and lakes come into play on seven holes. This course's most difficult hole is #10, a 430-yard, par 4, requiring a tee shot up a dogleg left fairway, with a pond at the curve, then an uphill approach shot to the green. The large greens are undulating, and the terrain is rolling. The public can play this course on weekdays.

It has an opening in the front 36" wide in and 24" tall. The depth of the firebox at the hearth is 21" to the front of the surround or 17" to the rough opening behind the surround. The fireback is 24" wide at the hearth with a break forward 13.5" above the hearth so that the dept narrows to 10" at the base of the damper 8" above the fireplace opening.
Interesting to note, the 36" masonry fireplace is much larger than the Heatilator E-36 "low mass" fireplace used to develop the fuel crib. The E-36 has an opening of only 30" wide by 18" tall and is 16" deep with a 18" wide fireback. The E-36 has an area of 540 sq.in. compared with 864 for the masonry fireplace. The hearth area of the E-36 is 384 sq.in. compared with the masonry hearth of 510 aq.in. and the volume of the E-36 is 6,912 cu.in. compared with the volume of 12,240 for the 36" masonry firebox.

Saddle up boys and girls. Yank up those cowboy or cowgirl boots, jump on that iron horse of yours and head on out to Station North tomorrow night.
The last Friday of every month Baltimore Bike Party expands its posse tomorrow, teaming up with Station North and its monthly "Final Friday" event and Baltimore Bicycle Works for a wild night of riding and reverie.
The festivities, including Flying Dog beer, food truck grub and music from Sac Au Lait, starts at 5 p.m. at the Falls Road Streetcar Museum. Also on hand will be reps from the Baltimore Bicycling Club, Bikemore, Bearings Bike Project, Velocipede, the Station North Tool Library, Clean Currents, Thread Coffee, the Department of Transportation, Red Emma's and Bianchi, offering information on their outfits.
Bicyclists will hit the trail at 7:30 p.m. from the Streetcar Museum. The casually paced route can be found here. As of Thursday afternoon, 934 people said they'll be attending, according to the ride's Facebook page, with another 250-plus "maybes."
Riders will return to the Streetcar Museum for the after-party, including more food trucks, Flying Dog beer and DJ, so bring some cash and ID — if you plan to imbibe.
FYI: There's no automobile parking at the Streetcar Museum. if you need to drive, there's nearby by parking in the Station North/Mt. Vernon area.

How to Make FeedBurner Update Immediately
If you're running a tight schedule, publishing-wise, and you need your RSS feed to reflect the actual timeline of the release of your articles, FeedBurner might seem to lag somtimes. Other reasons you might need to make FeedBurner update quickly are for podcast feeds, feeds being used for alerts or notifications … I'm sure you know better than me what you want to use it for!
This is because, by default, FeedBurner pings your feed on a 30 minute interval. In order to increase this interval, you must direct FeedBurner to do so. Navigate to the Ping FeedBurner submission form and enter your FeedBurner feed URL; FeedBurner will immediately synchronize with your actual feed and continue on with a much more real-time watch on it.

After all of the problems with colony collapse disorder, it's nice to see a bee at work. When you realize how iimportant bees are to our survival on this planet, we can't take them for granted any more!
how do you get up close shots of bees without them stinging you?
I'm always freaked out of insects with stingers.
also, what kind of camera do you have?
I'm afraid of bees, but somehow you made it look totally gorgeous in the photograph :0)
That must have been a hard shot to get. I bet you had to stay really still. Very impressive!
Awesome photo! Of course, it being a Bee…I totally am in love with it!
What a sweet shot : ) Look at it, working hard to make another batch of honey.

"It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle."

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Police say two teenagers have been arrested for allegedly making online threats against six other high school students and a Tucson school.
Tucson police say the boys - ages 16 and 17 - are being held on suspicion of interference with or disruption of an educational institution and taking the identity of another person.
Police say the juveniles also are facing multiple misdemeanor charges including harassment, threats and intimidation, disorderly conduct, and the use of an electronic communication to terrify, intimidate, threaten or harass.
They say the two boys attend Flowing Wells High School.
Police say 5 of the students threatened online attend Flowing Wells and a sixth attends another school.
The nature of the threats weren't released by police and the names of the two juveniles are being withheld.
