After a long and relatively pointless piece of spectacle in Monaco, the UEFA Champions League groups are set. Some look pretty straightforward... and some -- we're looking at you, Group D -- don't. At all. You've seen what the analysts think of the various groups, but now it's time to get feedback from the fans themselves. We've surveyed the SB Nation blogs involved in the tournament to find out just what they think of their group stage fates. Read on!
Group B: Arsenal
Opponents: Schalke 04, Olympiacos, Montpellier.
Ted Harwood: Arsenal's draw is one that looks manageable on paper. Schalke 04 was the Bundesliga team that everyone wanted to draw, hoping to avoid last year's finalist Bayern and league champion BvB Dortmund. Montpellier, while French champions, are probably a weaker side this year than last year, especially since their highest scorer, Olivier Giroud, now plies his trade for Arsenal, strangely enough. Olympiacos are a familiar foe, having been in Arsenal's group for three out of the past four tournaments now, and playing away in Piraeus is never easy, so hopefully that tie won't be a crucial one. Group B is by no means a cakewalk, but one can easily make the case that the draw has been favorable to Arsenal, who managed to avoid the obviously terrifying teams in each pot. The Gunners should have no trouble qualifying out of the group and are probably most people's favorite to take the top spot.
Group C: AC Milan
Opponents: Zenit St. Petersburg, Anderlecht, Malaga.
Gianfranco: My wish was to get PSG in the Group Stages, but UEFA, King of the "random" draw and big ticket matchups, didn't grant my wish. What better way to show Zlatan who the better team was then by beating him not once, but twice, in the single Club tournament that has eluded him for his entire career! Throw in a little payback for Leo, Silva, and our old friend Carlo Ancellotti and you had an epic story line. Sadly my wish will have to come in the knockout phases, assuming PSG makes it that far! As for Group C, Sacha Klestjian's Anderlecht and the financially distressed Malaga make for interesting matchups, but this is just the sort of group Milan needed to test their progress and ideally build some confidence. While no games are a foregone conclusion in any tournament, Milan should advance from this group and hopefully get some much needed experience for an evolving roster with little to no Champions League experience.
Group D: Real Madrid
Opponents: Manchester City, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund.
Gabe Lezra: Well, I don't feel like Madrid got screwed with their pants on exactly, but definitely with their pants somewhere in the vicinity. In all seriousness, it's hard to be thrilled with the draw from a Madrid standpoint, as the reigning champions of Spain were drawn with the reigning champions of England, Germany and Holland. And any time you see your team name next to the word "death" you know good things aren't happening. But it's not like Madrid won't be favored to go through--they're still one of the best two or three teams in the world--and the games should be exciting, at the very least. But for the first time in a few years, Madrid's place in the next round isn't assured--and that's a bit unfortunate for madridistas.
Group D: Manchester City
Opponents: Real Madrid, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund.
Danny Pugsley: When City were paired with Real Madrid I tweeted that the key to the group would be who came out of pot 3 and 4. Well, if you thought last years group was tough try this one for size.
I'm not disheartened with the group though. Real are a plum draw (and a trip to the Bernebeau has always been high on my list) and whilst Ajax and Dortmund are tough draws, let's not forgot they wont be keen to face City either and this will be a City side improved from last season.
The schedule is also key for me. City get the Real trip out of the way early before entertaining Dortmund. If they start well, they will be well positioned to then face the back to back games against Ajax.
Still positive though and I take City to go through, although likely in second place.
Group E: Chelsea
Opponents: Shakhtar Donetsk, Juventus, Norsejaelland.
Graham MacAree: It's hard to find yourself that worried about the group stage draw when your team is the one defending the trophy, but I have to admit that I was more than a little anxious when first Shakhtar Donetsk and then Juventus were deposited in Group E. With Borussia Dortmund still on the table, it would have been very easy for a Group of Death situation to arise, and it would be entirely fitting for Chelsea to finally win the Champions League and then fail to qualify from the groups the next year.
Fortunately, that seems unlikely to happen. Juventus are tough opposition and the trip to Ukraine is going to be about as much fun as rolling around in a nest of porcupines, but Chelsea are the best team in the group, and you'd have to expect them to top it.
I guess I should say something about Norsejaelland. They're that team you've barely heard of who probably aren't very good and you're pretty sure you'll beat. That wasn't a metaphor, although I did switch into second person for some reason. Sorry Norsejaelland. Thank you in advance for the six points. This paragraph is going to return to haunt me, I swear.
Group E: Juventus
Opponents: Chelsea, Shakhtar Donetsk, Norsejaelland.
djp4cal: While Juventus have a couple of tough teams to face in Group E, it could have ended up a lot worse. I like Juve's chances against all three teams in the group. While the hunt for a top striker is still something all Juventini are watching with all of their concentration — and then some — this is still a much-improved squad from the one that didn't lose a game in Serie A. Of course, not having Il Mister, Antonio Conte, on the sidelines during matches isn't the ideal situation as the Bianconeri return to Europe, but if there's any squad that can overcome things going against them, I am pretty sure Juventus have the kind of grinta that is able to fight through it.
Group F: Bayern Munich
Opponents: Valencia, Lille, BATE Borisov.
Pierson: On the whole, FC Bayern's draw was about average, possibly leaning slightly towards the "easy" side of average. Group F will consist of Bayern, Valencia CF, Lille OSC, and BATE Borisov. Valencia is one of Spain's somewhat static "best of the rest" group - a handful clubs that are below the level of Real Madrid and Barcelona, but that are still solid teams that can beat anyone on any given day. They have Roberto Soldado, who I've seen a few times and who can certainly find the net, and I just saw that they have Joao Pereira, the Portuguese wild-man who can give anyone headaches. So, I don't expect an easy win vs. these guys (especially the away match), but we did alright on our trip to Villarreal last season, so I think we have to be favored.
I know rather little about Lille, other than the fact that they somehow picked up Salomon Kalou and that I absolutely love their mascot. I really, really hope that they have an actual Bordeaux wearing a dog-sized Lille kit on the sidelines. If anyone knows, DON'T tell me - I want to be surprised.
As far as BATE Borisov - I've heard their name before, meaning they must have been in the Champions League a few times, but I'd be really, really disappointed if we drop points to these guys. Their stadium seats under 6,000 people, if I'm reading that correctly. I thought UEFA had rules about that kind of thing, but I guess not.
Overall, I think there's enough talent in the group to keep us awake (especially with Valencia), but we should be able to win 4 of the 6 matches outright and come away with at least 13 points. Last year, FC Bayern was in clearly the toughest group, so we were probably due for a medium-to-easy draw. There is a school of thought that says it's better to get drawn into the toughest possible group, to avoid complacency and "get your confidence up" or whatever, but I'm very satisfied with this draw. Excellent chance to advance, very good chance to win the group (and draw a 2d-place finisher from another group), and we can turn it on in February when it really counts. Good luck to all.
I just thought of one more thing. Wouldn't it be awesome if Lille not only had a real, live Bordeaux mascot, but if it broke free and started running around the pitch during the match? Wouldn't that be just the greatest thing ever? I don't think I'd be willing to give up a finger to witness that, but I'd certainly give up a toe.
Group G: Barcelona
Opponents: Benfica, Spartak Moscow, Celtic.
Arron Duckling: At this level of competition there is no such thing as an "easy" group, but in every draw there are one or two groups that look less challenging and Barcelona are in one of them. A trip to Russia wouldn't have been high on Tito Vilanova's wish-list, especially given the pace of the Spartak frontline and the synthetic pitch at the Luzhniki Stadium, although even the Russian winter is preferable to facing the Serie A champs, Juventus. On the other hand, Culés will be glad to see Benfica again as matches against the Portuguese side are usually a good omen as the Blaugrana went on to lift the trophy after knocking out SLB the last time these two sides met in 2006. And how's this for a fact: the last time Benfica were drawn into a group with Barcelona was 1991/92 and the Catalans went onto to lift the famous trophy at Wembley. There's a long way until history has a chance to repeat itself, but with a group like this, Barcelona should at least reach the knock-out stages.
Group H: Manchester United
Opponents: Braga, Galatasaray, CFR Cluj.
Gene Um: There were five bullets I was hoping to dodge (Valencia, Benfica, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Borussia Dortmund) and fortunately for Manchester United, they did so in this draw. Despite having tremendous squad depth, this is even more welcoming when considering that the six Premier League fixtures that follow these midweek European nights are difficult weekend ties with Liverpool, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Aston Villa, Queens Park Rangers, and Manchester City -- all of which are away with the exception of QPR. United should be far from complacent though with their draw as they failed to advance last season from a group they were clear favorites to top. If Sir Alex Ferguson's side can earn the maximum points at Old Trafford, they likely will advance as Group H's winners. Away to Galatasaray should be intriguing as many United fans likely remember the 'Welcome to Hell' banners that greeted the club the last time they trekked out there.

WOW. What can I say. As someone (I'm 37) who grew up on Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath, Dokken, etc. and heard their message, CREED gives us GREAT MUSIC with a message that's POSITIVE. I honestly believe life sucks, but at least I don't feel like blowing my brains out (I had a friend that did that). GOD is PARAMOUNT with CREED and they do give a message of FAITH. I like their dark songs, too, for that's great at times…CREED still taps into WHITE ANGST. Keep it up.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
This is by far the best that Creed has offered. Since breaking up late last year, I can now better fully appreciate this album which gives an insight to the beginnings of this doomed band. The song lyrics are beautifully constructed and created by Stapp himself. In no way is Creed 'a Christian rock band', they don't preach conversion in their songs, what they do sing about is things we can all relate to in our lives.
'My Own Prison' is a masterpiece with two helluva great songs in 'Illusion' and 'Unforgiven'. I have the Australian CD release version where a bonus track 'Bound and Tied' was included. This album is 'tour de force' of Creed's best.
Some hard music fans despaired in the late 1990's worried that their style of music would be overrun by pseudo-skacore pretenders and teeny-bop boy-wonder bands that made sugar-pop for pre-teens (I was going to try and get in a few more hyphenated words there, but ….). Then along came Creed. They covered no new ground musically, but they did revisit the well traveled roads of hard music and made a name for themselves in the process. Needless to say, they were welcomed with open arms, ears, and wallets.You know this album is going to rock when Mark Tremonti's guitar starts to kick-in right as Scott Stapp sings "Lies are what they tell me" in "Torn". "Ode" takes the rock one step higher and harder before things tone down some for "My Own Prison". We kind of tolerate "Pity For a Dime", "In America", and "Illusion" before "Unforgiven" explodes confidently from the first note. "Sister" is a fun and sentimental rocker. "What's This Life For" asks an emotional question that really gets no answer (beware of one naughty word sung three times). Finally, "One" visits social frustrations as it punctuates an energetic departure.Although we can celebrate the sound of edgy hard rock all day long, the amazing thing about "My Own Prison" is the lyrics themselves. Creed incorporates a great deal of religious imagery, angst, frustration, and anger in to the song writing, but isn't that how so many of us feel? … and possibly that is why the foursome became so popular. We heard songs about us.All-in-all, "My Own Prison" plays very well in any CD player. Parents may object to hearing profanity (God's name in vain coupled with "damn") on track number 9, but Creed definitely puts pop music on its gluteus maximus with this release. It is a strong debut.
Creed-a quartet out of Florida who like every other band out there dreamed of becoming stars. With hard work and determination, Creed began their rise with this debut My Own Prison. Scott Stapp may sound a bit like Eddie Vedder(Pearl Jam) but his deep voice calls for unity in "One" discusses a friend's suicide "What's This Life For" and relates an episode of him drinking too much 'shroom juice with the line "should've been dead on a Sunday morning" in "my Own Prison." Mark Tremonti-a truly gifted guitarist successfully backs up Stapp with his rhythmic riffs and his back-up sultry voice. Brian Marshall's pulsating bass provides rhythm throughout and Scott Phillip's pounding of the skins provides a memorable beat for all. For everyone who has never heard Creed, come out from hiding and check this remarkable CD out. You will truly be blown away by the songwriting of Stapp and Tremonti as well as the deeper meaning behind each and every song.
When toad the wet sprocket broke up, I was looking for bands that were as good. With the possible exception of Collective Soul, none were. Toad had a lyrical depth and a realness and an emotional intensity that no one had.Until I heard Creed.This album is amazing. Creed is a tier above the rest of the music industry. I get so sick of "artists" worshipping at the altar of money and popularity. Creed has a strong thread of reality and wholeness that I haven't heard in a long time. They tell stories, they write philosophy, they address issues, they offer hope. "My Own Prison" is a powerful piece of art.If you aren't a fan of grunge/hard rock music, their edginess may turn you off. Personally, I think they have it just right. Scott Stapp's voice conveys anger, hurt, or hope very well and the band is very professional in its playing. Obviously they can be compared in sound to Pearl Jam, and other groups. But certainly not in quality. They have actual messages. They are a group that can write, can sing, can play, and can really inspire.Creed is fueled by the band members' own passions and beliefs, and that shows through in this great CD. They aren't "wannabes"; it's the rest of the music industry that is!

Is there a noise ordinance for hotels?
Original post made by Eileen on Sep 9, 2007
I found that there is a noise ordinance for construction:
(includes any and all deliveries)
MONDAY-FRIDAY.......8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
SATURDAY......9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
SUNDAY/HOLIDAYS.......Construction Prohibited.
But does anyone know how this would work for a residential property right next to a hotel?
on Sep 10, 2007 at 12:07 am
Call the police and ask, although they seemed pretty toothless about enforcing construction noise violations I reported.
on Sep 10, 2007 at 8:09 am
Close the hotel and build more housing! The Palo Alto way!
on Sep 10, 2007 at 9:05 am
It isn't just hotels with these problems, midtown safeway generates a lot of overnight noise which causes problems for local residents.

Vet Advice: Relief for Your Dog's Itchy Skin

Our two year old Maltese Shih Tzu cross has itchy skin and red rings around his eyes, he constantly scratches and chews all over himself. We took him to the Vet and he said he has a food allergy and/or other allergens but is very expensive to find what food and/or other allergens he may have. We have changed his dry food to Kirkland chicken, as through research we found it to be one of the top rated dry foods. The biggest problem with dry food is the fillers , corn being the worst by far. We cannot digest it and neither can dogs or most other animals,also some of the other fillers are absolutely sickening. Read the labels and if one of the first five ingredients is corn do NOT buy it. Since changing to Kirkland dry dog food his scratching and red rings have subsided but he still has bouts and we give him half a benadryl 25mg tablet at night. The Vet also gave us a prescription of prednisone 5mg cut in half every 12 hours as needed for really bad flares to help relieve the awful itching. People need to read all labels as there are a lot of bad stuff in food and treats for your pets as the saying goes "if you can't pronounce dont eat it" same goes for your pet. It really does not cost much more to buy really good food for your pet, considering the cost of vets and other meds if you feed them CRAP.

Our Maltese was doing the same exact thing! Then someone told me it was maybe a grain allergy. I switched him to Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diet, grain free. It took a full year of feeding him only this, but he has stopped chewing and itching and his tear stains have completely disappeared. Also I have heard yeast too and to only feed Raw diet, but we haven't gone to that......yet:) good luck!

I have a 2 yr. old Blue Nose Pit Bull with food and environmental allergies. I finally spent almost $500 for the allergy testing after $1900 in vet bills for chronic ear infections, and skin bumps, rash.
Even after finding out what he is allergic to, he still has outbreaks. I started doing research online and began giving him daily 2 Zyrtecs, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar in his water, Digestive Enzymes with Pro/Prebiotics and Omega 3 fish oil. So far, so good!
It is a lot better for him than the prescribed steroids and antibiotics.

Thank you so much for advice. We have 5 dogs of our own & foster for local humane society. We use 3 teaspoons Apple Cider per gallon of water for their drinking water for flea deterrent. It seems to help. They won't drink tap water anymore. We have 2 w/itchy skin & trying to find home remedy instead of steroids & antibiotics. Again, thanks for your reply.

Old fashion pine tar soap found at most health food stores may help. It not toxic derived from natural ingredients. It costs about 4 dollars for one bar but it is rock hard soap and goes a long way. It may not cure the problem but will help with the itching and promote healing. My family has used it for years on ourselves and pets. Its a icky brown color and smells a little strange but really saves the day when it comes to relief. Only warning is as always do not get it into your eyes. The only soap safe for eyes is Johnson's no tears baby shampoo. I use a very small drop on a wet warm cloth to clean my dogs eyes. I also do the same thing to remove makeup from my eyes. It really works and does not hurt or harm your eyes. Good Luck.

I have spent a lot of money in the past on pets with allergies & I can't do that anymore. I researched online about home remedies and then went out to get Epsom salts, olive oil, benadryl capsules and apple cider vinegar. I tested the apple cider vinegar on some areas. I put it in a spray bottle & got a cotton ball - saturated it & I really saturated it and massaged it right into my dogs skin skin. Also I sprayed all four paws and lower legs and hiney. Again very saturated. The first relief he has had has come from Apple Cidar Vinegar $2.80 for a big bottle! It's a no name brand - not toxic and I'll need to reapply it a few times, but he finally stopped scratching non-stop and slept for a couple of hours. This first round of relief has lasted about 4 hours. I don't know if its the cure - but it's looking good!! Later I put him in the tub with room temperature - cool water that was 1/2 water and 1/2 apple cider vinegar with a little bit of olive oil. For 10 minutes I just kept pouring it over his back...everywhere but his face of course. I did use a cotton ball to apply it to his ears with the AC Vinegar. His areas that he had scratched raw are nicely healing. I apply the apple cidar vinegar to his paws in the morning. I only use the Benadryl if its bad at night. Good luck!

I have a small to medium size dog that we got from a friend. Not sure what breed he is he's maybe 15 lbs long wiry hair that we keep trimmed. We live in the desert , dry, windy, and hot. Anyways he's constantly scratching his face to the point his eye has a cut near the corner. I try to keep it clean, he's an outside dog so that hard but I bring him in to clean it every few days. My question is, is it safe after I clean it to put a triple antibiotic ointment on it so it doesn't get infected??

Your dog's itchiness could be from being outside. For one thing a dog that small needs to be indoors. They are lonely outside. Dogs are social animals. If a dog is bored they will scratch at themselves or dig holes etc. Bring your dog inside and his health will improve.

After dealing with my own allergies to dust mites, I found my terrier dog got better. I have a clean house but took down drapes, took out carpets, etc. . My allergist said dust mites saliva causes many allergies in people so why not in dogs too.

It sounds as if those are flea bites, which can cause flea dermatitis on both humans and dogs. Try filling a spray bottle halfway with either apple cider vinegar or white vinegar then fill it up the rest of the way with water. Once a day, spray your dog with the solution making sure to wet the skin. Fleas hate vinegar and it should help to relieve some itching.

My lab has been suffering from dry skin since he was 5mths old and he is now 15mths. I went to the vet and they recommended changing dog food to something with better product which I did. They also said a antihistamine, which I did for awhile every few days no result. He sheds more than I have ever seen for his type plus I can slightly tug and clumps and clumps come out but still tons there. This been after I just brushed him. He scratches almost every few minutes. His skin doesn't have flakes but during the fall, it looks snowy (he has black fur). During the summer its so bad, he is chewing off patches. I have also used oatmeal shampoo once a month. Nothing, vet didn't seem too concerned but I need to make him itch less, I am sure it would allow both of us to sleep and his life easier.

Alisha - I too just adopted a rescue dog. Her skin was beat red and she did nothing but scratch and bite her skin. To the point where she was raw and missing fur. My vet put her immediately on a steroid regiment which worked amazingly but now that she is dwindling the dosage, the scratching and biting is coming back. I am going to try different things- if something works I will let you know!

both of my dogs have all the same symptoms. Took her to the vet. SAid it could be changing food or diet. My dad has been changing foods a lot. oatmeal shampoo didn't help. Vet said you could try adding cooking oil to our food. I'm assuming the dry food, but I'm also going to mix wet food in with the dry. and we have per allergy pills we've been giving them that seem to work for a while. I'm thinking of trying to mix conditioner with/water and see if that helps

I would try rinsing your dog with water instead of conditioner.My dog had the itchies all last summer.I must have dried her skin out with shampoo and flea stuff.Anyway all winter I never shampooed her just rinsed her and everything was great I thought she must have out grown the itchiness.But then I bathed her with people shampoo and conditioner the stuff I use and the itchiness came back.I use Panteen but I think there must be to much perfume or something in the shampoo and conditioner so I am going back to just rinsing her with tepid water.good luck

Charlene, you should *never* use people shampoo/conditioner on cats or dogs. Why? Because their skin has fewer layers than humans, making them more sensitive. You should only use products made for dogs on dogs.
I was a hairdresser and shampoo is shampoo it is all made with sodium laurel sulphite and perfumes and emulsifiers can't see it making allot of difference the science says it is bassically the same thing

Oh gosh.. don't ever use a shampoo nor conditioner that has any perfume/scent EVER on your dog! The poor dog has allergies so why exacerbate his/her condition?
I would also remove ALL products from the house that are scented.. Remove ALL air fresheners(they are toxic to humans as well), stop all use of fabric softeners(toxic as well...are natural unscented ones out there.. for example: Seventh Generation's).
Also, stop all use of chemical scented floor cleaners. Use natural plant based dish detergent(unscented) for dishes, floors, etc. You can also use Mule Team Borax for laundry, clothes, etc. Also, switch to a natural unscented laundry detergent.
Throw out all perfumes, scented hair sprays, body lotions, and bar soaps.. can switch to a more natural unscented bar soap.
Your dog will be healthier and so will you.
The same thing happened to me with the panteen shampoo.I am on here again because ever since I shampooed her I can't stop the itchy s I tried water and calomine lotion in a spray bottle but leaves hair feeling funny and didn't stop the itching .Did you find anything that worked.

Massage pure coconut oil into their skin. I have done it for both of my Bulldogs. No more scratching or raw, flaking skin. It's completely natural, inexpensive and NO DRUGS! And the best part is it's pretty much instant relieve for them.
One time when I was packbacking through central america I noticed I had got some kinda crap bug in my hair and I was in a remote area so I used a can of raid on my hair wrap in a towel and then used coconut oil .It took the itchy s away and I was told that mites and bugs can't live on your hair or scalp with the oil on it.It work from personal experiance

Check your dog's food. I have had two dogs that I have had to switch to a certain diet because of allergens. Corn, wheat and chicken are all common allergens, and most dog foods have at least one of these ingredients, often more. My pups did the same thing, dry flaky skin and constantly scratching, to the point where they would get sores and their skin would smell even if they'd had a bath the day before. Once we got them on the right food, their skin started clearing up within a week. Also be careful of the treats you give them, as they may have the ingredients you are trying to avoid.

I adopted an 11 year old dog from a couple who had the dog since he was a puppy. They brought along vet records that were extensive. They also brought all kinds of medication. The results from a previous allergy test were that the dog was allergic to all kinds grass and trees. The problem for me was that this was February and nothing was blooming and there was no grass anywhere yet the dog was suffering. He had no fur on his belly and his skin was tough and blackened.

Hello. I have a two year old golden who is tearing herself up from itching. Her father had severe allergies to grasses and trees. We have had her on benadryl and are going to try using mane and tail shampoo. Any comments as to how often to shampoo her? Also, someone posted to use tinactin on spots that have been bitten raw, does anyone else successfully use that?

My Gracie & I adopted one another last July, 2013. She had hair missing from the back of her legs, under her chest, belly & her tail was almost hairless. She's on minimum ingredients, grain-free dry dog food - I add fresh chicken breast to morning meal. I bathed her frequently with oatmeal shampoo when I first got her. Later - I would bathe her when she seemed more itchy. One day I used the oatmeal shampoo & added the Main & tail shampoo w/it. Afterward, she was jumping & running all around, seemed she was irritated - it was early evening. I rinsed her again because I thought it must have been reaction to the shampoo. In the morning her skin was a deep red color in spots on her back - not from scratching but I believe from the main & tail shampoo. Had to take her to the Vets & he gave her a prednizone injection. I since have used the oatmeal shampoo only & she hasn't had any reaction. I will not use main & tail on her again. This is the shampoo I'd used on my previous dogs w/o skin allergies & no problem w/them that I ever noticed. Gracie is going through the itching again this June; hair coming out in clumps. I'm looking for a natural remedy.

I posted this on my personal Facebook page, but felt compelled to share it with you here as well. I have to warn that I kept this in the same form I posted on my page, so there is a vulgar word. I am leaving it in there as I believe it best captures the moment, and the account is the truth as I remember it that fateful day.
Like many service members who serve because of a desire to pursue their patriotism, I consider myself one of the idealists. And am thankful that I was able to return to service at the young tender age of 37 a couple years ago!
I was running late that day. Some people dread Mondays, but I hated every day of the week at the time. Feeling trapped in life in a fairly high-paying corporate sales job, I usually made myself late by taking advantage of "my" morning before enduring the drudgery of my career at the time. So, it was not uncommon for me to be at home at 9 am.
My phone rang just after 9 and Dan said, "Where you at? You near a TV?" He said, "Turn on a TV, you aren't going to believe what just happened." I hung up and flicked on the TV to see the now smoldering first tower of the World Trade Center. The talking heads on TV were discussing how a small commuter plane could have been the cause, but no one was quite yet sure. This was only minutes after the first crash.
I, clad in my three-piece suite and $100 Ike Behar tie, sat and watched with mostly curiosity at that point on what and how this crash had happened. I nestled into my chair for the long haul since there really wasn't anything exciting to look forward to at work, and decided like tens of millions other Americans at 9ish am on a Tuesday morning to watch the excitement of the crazy event unfold live.
Not even minutes after I got comfortable in my chair, the second jetliner came screaming from the rear right of the picture and slammed into the the second tower live, right in front of my eyes. I stood to my feet, and uncontrollably yelled, "NO" at the TV set as a sickening feeling of watching the immediate death of everyone of the people on that plane, and the thousands inside the building during the explosion.
A sickening feeling came over me as I slowly slumped back into my chair, a witness live to the most destructive and devastating terrorist act on American soil in our nation's history. "That was no fucking commuter plane", I said angrily to myself. My sickening feeling quickly and easily turned to anger. The muscles most notably in my arms and legs began to twitch slightly, like one experiences after a long, enduring run, or other strenuous physical activity. I got up and without taking my affixed, numbed stare off of the TV, I started to pace back and forth. Then the news reporters started to debate what I started to think myself – that this may have been a terrorist act. Then came news of the crash in Pennsylvania and then the crash into the Pentagon.
Our nation was once again at war. And I was really pissed off. That day changed me inside.
As a combat veteran of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, I witnessed first hand the devastating effects of what the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait did to that region. I participated directly as a combat soldier in liberating Kuwait and advancing with the elite 82nd Airborne Division far into Iraq to just outside of An-Nasariyha on the banks of the Euphrates River. Fortunately, that war only lasted several months, but that experience burned into me a patriotism for everything American, and our position in the world as the most powerful, and at the time, most important symbol of righteousness in the world. I was proud to have served, and knew that if my country ever needed me again I would quickly and easily stand in the gap again.
In my heart, I felt that call again on 9-11-01 on that morning. I didn't know who the enemy was and I didn't care. You don't mess with America, and you certainly don't attack her innocent civilians on her own soil.
Like all immediate reactions when you feel violated, I stewed with my friend and fellow citizens about how this could happen to America, to "us". All the talk came in about Osama Bin Lade, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and others. President Bush acted swiftly and without regret to provide an appropriate response. We were at war with terrorism.
On 9/11 I had the beginnings of something that would become a very successful business in the years ahead. Even though I felt the call, I also felt other responsibilities to friends and business partners to begin what I had started. It was just too inconvenient to run off and fight a war at that time in my life. Several times in 2002 and 2004 I started the initial process to join the military as a reservist to do my part in the war. See, it is difficult for those of us who have the innate "calling" to fight a war. Those who never pick up a weapon and serve never get that call and they don't understand how consuming that feeling can be. It goes away from time to time, but always…always comes back. Sometimes it comes back stronger than others.
Fast forward to late 2006 – me, standing in my kitchen crying my eyes out in front of my wife because this time that feeling came back with such intensity I started making phone calls this time intent on serving my country and fighting the war. I was trying to explain the torment going on inside of me despite the success we were having in our professional lives. I know it was difficult for her to understand at the time. My business at the time and my career at the time was at a high point. But, the war was continuing in full swing in two places on the globe, and I WASN'T IN THE FIGHT. That is near impossible to push away when you know it is your place to be there too. Not only because you are called, but because you are also good at it. Designed for it. Prepared for it. Only those who fight the fight know what I am talking about.
2008. Many things changed for me in 2008. I was at a difficult period professionally, personally and emotionally. In September 2008 that undeniable call came again. This time was the time. After much prayer, thought and contemplation with my wife I made the decision to join the Army again as an Army officer and finally, put the suit back on, get into the game and play first string on the front line. I put everything else professionally on hold to do it the right way and fulfill that nagging calling that had been present with me since 2001.
I am here in Iraq because I was called to be here. That's it. My country deserves the best of one of her citizens that was designed with a certain mentality, a control over emotions in the fog of war and a honed skill set that allows me to do what I do and prayerfully do it well on my nation's behalf.
I am thankful to have a wonderful country that deserves every effort I can give to make a difference. I am thankful that I have a loving, wonderful and respectful wife that serves the needs of her husband even if that need calls our entire family temporarily on a different and many times inconvenient path. I am thankful for friends, family and business associates who were understanding as best as they could be about a man's calling to service.
And most importantly. I am thankful and wonderfully fearful of a holy God who before the beginning of time planned these steps for me, provided that calling for me and has protected me and my family through this walk on a path less traveled. I owe everything I am and everything I become to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy in my life and thank you for the purpose-filled adventure you have given me.
Thank you America.
God bless,
"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." – Romans 8:28

Performance with Cassette Tape Recorder
"For general Western spectatorship, Vietnam does not exist outside of the war. And she no longer exists since the war has ended, except as a name, an exemplary model of revolution, or a nostalgic cult object for those who, while admiring unconditionally the revolution, do not seem to take any genuine, sustained interest in the troubled reality of Vietnam in her social and cultural autonomy. The more Vietnam is mystified, the more invisible she becomes."
I use the simple device of a cassette recorder to create a language learning tape in real time. Beginning with a seemingly innocuous series of questions, my responses on the second round of recording reveal hidden narratives of gendered power inequalities, geopolitical struggles, and family trauma through a constant shifting of subject positions and subtle nuances of tone.

On Tuesday 16th July our Community Coach Ben Smiley visited the Kite Ridge House Pupil Referral Unit (PRU) in High wycombe.
Kite Ridge House is a unit for young people who have Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and associated behavioural problems. Some students might also be on the Autistic Spectrum. The PRU works on the basis that "all behaviour is communication", and the team of staff develop alternative strategies, in a number of multifunctional, in-formal teaching areas at the school, to support the student's development as learners and as people.
Ben was invited to the PRU to deliver two Tag Rugby sessions, one higher activity session on the school field, and one lower intensity session indoors. The indoor session saw Ben coaching the five students and four support staff on how to pass and catch, before putting their technique under pressure by adding a competitive element between small groups. As the coaching moved outside, Ben was able to focus on tagging skills and running and dodging when holding the rugby ball.
After his session, Ben Smiley told wasps.co.uk: "The students were very keen to learn and gave me 100% of their attention when I was discussing the techniques and activities. They all put everything into the session and there was a marked improvement in their ability to play Tag Rugby."
We would like to thanks Gail Prince for the inviting us to visit Kite Ridge House.

Is there an agenda against the Heat. YES! Will there always be, YES! Is it ok to dislike the Heat's style ... YES!
People dislike the Heat because they want to. Each dissenter has their own reason and sometime rightfully so. The fact is the Heat will be the heel of the NBA like the Iron Sheik was to Hulk Hogan for as long as they are constructed with LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Here are a few tangible reasons why:
Bandwagon Fans-Showing up because it's your team is not winning is not bad. Leaving early, having no knowledge of the team history and being obnoxious is.
The Decision- LeBron rubbed people the wrong way and still does taunting fans with Instigram messages and post-game rants. Just not likable.
Whiners- LeBron, his fans, and Heat fan base are angry everybody doesn't like him and his team. Question, did all fans root for Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird or Michael Jordan ... NO! but everybody is supposed to bow to the king. Please.
Fake Celebrity Fans- Lil' Wayne and Justin Bieber are as real a two-dollar bills when it comes to loving the Heat and if Bieber is with you ... a good number of diehard fans are not.
Mocked Dirk Nowitzki- In 2011 Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki was ill and had a reported temperature of 102 degrees in Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Heat. Dirk dropped 21 points scoring 10 in the fourth quarter in an 86-83 win over the Heat. LeBron and Dwyane Wade were caught on video mocking Nowitzki being sick the next day. The Heat did not win another game. The sports gods were not happy.
Fans leaving Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals early- The Heat won one of the best games in franchise history while clowns in Heat garb were outside talking to the media about how the team lost and attempting to beat traffic. Weak. The celebration parade is Monday, June 24, 2013-I wonder how many fans will leave early for that. Weak.
Truth is when LeBron leaves with his three or four titles with the organization, so will the so-called fans who are loudly passionate now about their team.
Could Be The Last Hurrah
Only four players on the Hawks' roster are under contract for next season, and the coach's deal is up too. This will be the last incarnation of the Billy Knight-Rick Sund projects in the Atlanta Hawks era. Danny Ferry has already gotten rid of two players whose contracts were extended by the two previous general managers (GM) – Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson; he's also brought in a new assistant GM, a new vice president of public relations, and upgraded the media room with new paint and free food ... awesome for the media!
In short, the new sheriff is bringing in his own deputies. With this, the organization is likely to get a new coach and new players; let's make some final memories with this crew.
They've Been Hurt
The Hawks started 29 different starting lineups this season, which may have worked in their favor. After all, rooting for a banged-up team is just flat-out American. Insert Lou Williams and Zaza Pachulia in the lineup, and this team could be the number four seed in the Eastern Conference. The Hawks have been undersized all season; so losing Pachulia is was a huge blow. Williams was "money in the bank" in the fourth quarter of games; he came off of the bench and solved a lot of the offensive power-outages the Hawks had at times. This season, the Hawks seem to have always been a man/shooter short and have persevered in spite of their circumstance.
They Have Beaten The Doubters
The Hawks are not supposed to be here – in the playoffs. According to several publications, the Hawks should be headed for a lottery pick and should have been an embarrassment all season. Instead the Hawks:
Started the most lineups in the NBA this season – due to injury;
Finished 25-16 at home;
Won 19 road games and were second in the NBA in assists (first in the Eastern Conference), third in fast-break points and sixth in three-point shots made.
Their Style Is Fun
When the Hawks run, they are a devastating team on the fast break. The Pacers, and hopefully a second-round opponent, will pay for turnovers and rebounds that end up in the hand of Hawks' guards in transition. The Hawks beat the Clippers, Grizzlies, Thunder, Lakers, and Celtics by utilizing their speed throughout the course of the season.
They Are The City's Most Successful Team in the Last Six Seasons
The fact is – in the last six years, the Atlanta Hawks have been in post-season play more than any other professional sports franchise in Atlanta. While we can debate which sport has the toughest road to the post season, we cannot argue about which team has been there the most consistently over the last six years. Let's keep a good thing going.
It's going to come down to speed for the Hawks to be successful the remainder of the season and in the playoffs. With the absence of center Zaza Pachulia in the lineup, the lack of size the birds will have on the floor nightly can only me matched by one element ... speed. The Hawks can outrun anybody in the NBA if you don't believe me look at what they have done to the Lakers, Celtics and Heat on the fast break this year.
Jeff Teague and Devin Harris are tough covers in transition and when Teague makes up his mind the pick and roll can be a devastating weapon for the Hawks. Attacking and playing with an up-tempo style is not an option, but a requirement in every game. The bench has seen energy from rookie John Jenkins and Ivan Johnson this year, and defensively, Al Horford and Josh Smith have started many of the Hawks fast break opportunities by blocking shots and grabbing rebounds.
The Hawks have three elements that regularly show up in losses:
A lack of energy
A lack of rebounding
All off the above can be offset by running the daylight out of our opponents. The Hawks can make shots and knock down 3-pointers without blinking an eye and can score in bunches early and late in games. The team can punish larger teams with quickness but can hurt themselves when the offense becomes stagnant. Either way slowing the game down for the Hawks is the only way to ensure the team is not utilizing. best strategy to win.
Entering the week of march 18, the Hawks are third in the NBA in fast break points with more than 17 per game. If we see less than that number, something has gone wrong. The Hawks have the talent to put up nearly 20 points per game in the break.
Run, run, run! Even if the shots don't fall ... run run run ... even if the 3-pointers are off target. Speed has hurt bigger teams and forced big men to be off balance when the Hawks are playing fast. When we run, we win. Let's keep winning.
With the Hawks making the push to the post season, the team has players who will be instrumental in making the run but who will not be on the roster next season. Some should stay some should go, here are my thoughts on who the Hawks who should return that have expiring contracts.
Josh Smith
Yes ... for the right price. A unique player who is active on both ends ... but for the right price. The organization learned a lesson by paying Joe Johnson a kings' ransom. That mistake won't be made again.
Devin Harris
No. Solid point guard and can finish at the rim. But has dealt with injury the latter part of his career and this season with the Hawks. Could be a starter or back up but may be hampered by injury. Hawks may need to go younger at point guard.
Zaza Pachulia
Yes. He's 7-feet tall and brings energy. Plays his role well as a starter or reserve and can be big on the offensive glass. Hawks need to build a team with size, Zaza can be a solid anchor.
Kyle Korver
Yes. There are men and then there are special men. Kyle Korver was born to shoot three-pointers. Sign him up.
DeShawn Stevenson
No. I love DeShawn as he uses most of his energy on defense. He is very reliable shooting three-pointers. But father time and achy knees will only hurt him minutes-wise moving forward.
Johan Petro
No. A big man but not enough impact on the floor. Has length but is not active enough to get minutes.
Dahntay Jones
No. A defensive piece for this season but is north of 30 and does not have enough offense to bring him back.
Anthony Tolliver
No. Not a lights out shooter but his size and versatility allow him to get minutes. He can knock down the three but is not consistent enough to make a second run with the Hawks.
Falcons safety Thomas DeCoud deserves to be NFC player of the week after five tackles, a pass defended and an interception against the Broncos on Monday Night Football, followed by three tackles, two interceptions, three passes defended and a fumble recovery in a 27-3 beating of the Chargers in San Diego. And why has he turned into one of the most disruptive defenders in the league? Coaching.
The coaching of the Falcons was brilliant enough again to get the team to 3-0 this season. Whenever the readily available argument of "who is an elite quarterback" came up before the season, Peyton Manning and Philip Rivers made a list, probably yours and mine. In two consecutive weeks the Falcons defense has made both men look like scabs and replacement fill-ins.
The defense is confusing the best triggermen in the game at the line of scrimmage and disguising their coverages, the secondary keeps coming up with turnovers and big hits to any opponent who has the ball. Who are these guys? The same people they were last year, and the year before, and some of them the year before that with better coaching.
The talent is the same but the play-calling, execution and aggressiveness are all much better. The defense has become the X-factor for the Falcons this season and they are showing up with a chip on their shoulders and the results are different. The Falcons are physical, disciplined and consistent in getting turnovers in three weeks of action so far.
The good coaching is getting great results.
The Falcons Coordinators Are Better Than Fine
Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter is moving defenders around and getting his offense ahead of his opponents. I can't way to see how this evolves later in the season. Matt Ryan is first in the league in quarterback rating (117.6) after two weeks of play and has looked decisive on where to throw the ball.
Defensive coordinator Mike Nolan has coached two outstanding games. Holding Peyton Manning to one touchdown and picking him off three times is a fantastic achievement and a display of how Nolan can confuse even a great quarterback on a big stage. The Falcons lead the NFL in interceptitons (5) and have set a tone at home and on the road. The defense is playing better with the same players minus Brent Grimes ... that is good coaching.
It's Not Over for the Braves
The Braves begin the week five games behind the Nationals for the lead in the NL East. After sweeping the Nats last week the Braves showed they can win even without great hitting. With 14 games remaining it is not out of the questions that the Braves could make a run at the end. Still time for the bats to come alive. Brian McCann is still banged up and will be the rest of the season, but if the bats can just come alive late, it could be an exciting finish.
The Hawks Get Ready to Fly
With the Hawks reporting in a few weeks, fans can get ready for a chance to see the 2012-2013 installment of our Atlanta Hawks. More shooters, a perimeter attack with Anthony Morrow, John Jenkins, Kyle Korver, veterans Al Horford, Josh Smith and Jeff Teague will make for a likeable team on the floor that will look to establish a new style of play and and identity taking team into a new direction in the Danny Ferry era.

Foods For Every Mood
Ever feel like your moods are out of whack?
According to Woman's Day magazine, there are certain foods you can eat to tame your wild moods. Being a college student means you get your fair, or unfair, share of stress. In order to combat this stress, studies show that eating just a small piece of dark chocolate a day helps to reduce stress hormones like Cortisol and Catecholamine from flaring up, which helps to decrease overall stress. I'm sure you've woken up early for your 8 AM feeling super cranky because you only got four hours of sleep the night before; we've all been there. If that's the case, grab an apple and some peanut butter before class! The combination of carbohydrate and protein work together to give you extra energy and make you feel better throughout the day. Another effort to help you feel better and happier throughout the day is to nosh on some whole grain cereal and low fat milk. Studies show if you are feeling sad, this meal helps to produce serotonin in your body. Serotonin helps to release that happy, calm feeling throughout your body. In addition to regulating serotonin, eating this quick meal will also help to boost your amounts of vitamin D, which in turn can help regulate your mood as well. If these quick fixes are intriguing to you, check out the article for yourself to see even more ways to control your moods by clicking here.

I had never seen a pic of the corner building before. Its very interesting if perhaps a little domestic and understated for such a prominent position. The buildings I was talking about were probably a little further down towards Grafton St. I think I remember which book they are in. Obviously, they aren't on Dawson St, but I was mentioning them in relation to parapet height.

3. I hated the Hobbit so much. Soooooo much. It was so incredibly slow, it was ridiculous. And here I thought the previous films were super slow. Do we need to spend two hours of our lives watching a hobbit try to throw a ring into a massive pit of fire? For God's sake, just throw the damn thing already!! I mean nothing happened. NOTHING. For almost three hours.

6. My former roommate Caroline got engaged this past weekend. We were supposed to grow old in eternal spinsterhood together. So much for that dream.
Juuuuuuuuuuuuust kidding, I'm really happy for her and Greg. Those little weirdos can ride off into the sunset together and live happily (and oddly) ever after.
7. Jenny sent me this fantastic article about nine signs of introversion. This is the best explanation of introversion I've ever seen. It's not shyness, "it's a low drive to participate in social situations." While I do tend to be very shy around strangers, I just have almost no desire to be social. And when I do want to be social, it's only with people who are my very close friends or family. My favorite part was about answering the phone, which I am historically terrible at (sorry to every person who calls me, for the love of GOD just text or email me please):
"The telephone is intrusive, especially for introverts, whose brains don't switch gears all that quickly. When we're deep in thought, a ringing telephone is like a shrieking alarm clock in the morning.
And we often give bad phone—awkward, with pauses. We struggle without visual cues, and our tendency to ponder before we talk doesn't play well on the telephone."
Seriously, don't call me. And, if it's an emergency, call two times in a row or text me to call you ASAP. Otherwise, enjoy my auto-robot voicemail lady.
8. Aaaaaa-men.
I love you APA.
9. The fire sirens at my apartment complex have been going off at random for a week now. And they don't stop for hours. It's really fun at 4 am. The good news is that I will never ever sleep through a fire because they screech both in and outside my apartment and throughout the entire complex. Please enjoy this horrid noise and Bardot's half-assed escape attempt. Fat little devil.

That reminds me so much of my dad. He tries so hard every year.
11. More grumpy cat!

MADISON – As autumn begins to tint the hillsides of the Ohio River Valley, it's time to celebrate the harvest and the wines of southern Indiana at the Indiana Wine Trail's 6th Annual Fall Haul on November 2nd and 3rd, 2013.
Seasonal foods, special wines, lively events and collector's edition recipe cards (to add to your Indiana Wine Trail collection) can be found at all six wineries. "We'll have tapas, cheese spread and meat balls," says Sandy Palmer of Madison Vineyards. "We enjoy treating people to the food made with our wines!" Brian Ahaus of Ertel's Cellars always looks forward to the herb and wine-based pestos their chef creates! "He always surprises us with something wonderful, and this year he's adding soups to the line-up." Lanthier Winery will serve its' Cranberry Grande' cheese spread and chicken wings in spiced Chambourcin glaze. Ridge Winery is showing off their Pasta in Wine Sauce, Wine Salsa, Wine Jelly, and Wine Cake. Stream Cliff Farm Winery is featuring a Potato-Wine Soup, a hot cheese wine dip and their hot Mulled Wine Punch. The Thomas Family Winery has Welsh Rarebit made with Gale's Hard Cider and Gale's Hard Cider Cheddar as well as other choice tidbits on the menu.
The Indiana Wine Trail consists of six wineries-Thomas Family Winery, Lanthier Winery, Madison Vineyards, Ertel Cellars, Stream Cliff Farm Winery and The Ridge Winery- who have joined together to create a fun wine trail along and around the beautiful Ohio River Scenic Byway. Encompassing everything from secluded estate vineyards to historic pub-style bistros, the Indiana Wine Trail brings together the region's best, each offering a different take on one of the state's fastest-growing agricultural products: handcrafted Indiana wine. Those interested in more information about the Indiana Wine Trail can call Visit Madison at 800-559-2956 or log onto the website www.indianawinetrail.com .
Mark your calendars for November 2nd and 3rd, 2013. The event runs 11 am – 5 pm. Please contact the wineries for individual arrangements, Visitor Bureau partners on the trail, or check in at www.indianawinetrail.com for more details.

Official "Transformers: MMORPG: Support Petition
This petition is to make a formal list of anyone who would be interested in the creation of a Transformers Massively Multi player Online Role Playing Game. The main focus of which, will be to be able to create your own Transformer, and be able to choose everything from their looks, to what they would transform into, and what weapons would be used; and then take your transformer online to show off to the rest of the world and see what others have created. Game play would be similar to Oblivion but set in the Transformers Generation 1 universe on Cybertron.

Right-hander Woody Williams will take the mound for one of his final outings of the spring, and he must have a good outing to stay in the running for a rotation spot.

Bow ties were once a signature of worldly authority—think FDR and Winston Churchill—while Jerry Lewis and Pee-wee Herman gave them a comic twist. Famous women from Marlene Dietrich to Diane Keaton to Rihanna have sported the neck-cessory. This season they're back but in iconoclastic shapes and exaggerated lengths that evoke more boho poet than ambitious politician. For her fall collection designer Tory Burch added voluminous ties to amber and rose silk blouses and then included a video on her blog instructing how to knot them. "The tie takes the classic shirt and makes it glamorous," says Burch. "It reminds me of all those incredibly chic women from the '40s and '70s."On the runways Phillip Lim sent out a sweater maxicoat with a modernistic, chunky half-tied neck bow; Gucci, a printed chiffon scarf; and Ferragamo, a jet-black silk tie that added architectural accents to form-fitting apparel. Jason Wu devised a skinny ribbon sewn onto shirt collars, while Dolce & Gabbana's diminutive patterned bow made the subtlest of statements. Lately L.A.-based stylists Emily Current and Meritt Elliott, the duo behind the denim label Current/Elliott and a handbag line for Kate Spade, have been pairing a shimmery vintage tie shirt from Palace Costume with tux-cut pants. "We love the theatrics of it," says Elliott, who wears a similar Rebecca Taylor design with her bell-bottom jeans. "On a man it seems gender bending, but on a woman it's the perfect balance of masculine and feminine."Melissa Akkaway might have been channeling her great-grandfather Will Beckley, whose men's store set fashion standards in long-ago Las Vegas, when she topped a blouse and a dress with bow tie necklines for her fall collection. "There's so much you can play with," says Akkaway, whose West Hollywood boutique, Beckley, carries similar looks by Zac Posen and Camilla and Marc. "If you have a corporate job, pair the top with a pencil skirt, and if it's retro you're going for, tuck it into a high-waisted pant." Man about town Cameron Silver, owner of the high-end vintage boutique Decades, often dons floppy velvet versions from Lanvin or creations by French designer Alexis Mabille. "They have to be worn tongue in cheek because they are a bit clownish," Silver admits. "I call them my erectile dysfunction bow ties."

In place of the chunky wooden trunk-cum-coffee table, Talley decided to use an airy, gracefully designed folding table from HomeGoods. Talley transformed its original bold red and black paint with a double coat of a deep smoky blue paint from Sherwin-Williams. To add an extra touch of personality, Talley lined the table's edges with gold paint to accentuate its elegant shape. To liven up the sofa's slipcover, which was fashioned from a tan linen fabric piped in a blue-and-cream stripe from Calico Corners, Talley designed a cheerful mix of custom pillows made from various checked and floral-print fabrics in soft shades of blue and pink, also from Calico Corners. A sisal rug from HomeGoods helps to further warm up this seating area, while a classic white pitcher, also from HomeGoods, holds a bunch of bright fuchsia ranunculus from the garden.

"Tony Ryals" is a false persona, shill or a front.
The site that hosts this so-called "antiwar leftist" in Guatemala is run by a military brat and security specialist from California (where "Tony" also lived) who boasts about his knowledge of Latin military techniques/technology, posts publicly about selling Peruvian military secrets for money, curses Islam and Mohammed vilely, and links to the Dept. of Defense terrorist sites. Strange host for an antiwar leftist.
Guatemala is noted for banking secrecy and judicial corruption, so it would be easy for money to be funnelled there by criminal short-sellers, who could pay Ryals to support them on the web uncritically and incessantly, while bashing any and all critics.
Ryals' host has a somewhat shady past and it looks like he uses Ryals as a front to bash anyone who opposes the government-run money scam called the Federal Reserve or exposes the frauds of the big banks. THat explains the incessant attacks on right-wing critics of the war on terror and the dilution of the currency.
Small businesses like coffee shops or travel agencies are good covers for spies and informants from America posing as Latin-infatuated gringos, like Ryals. They prey on the unsuspecting natives, pretending to be involved in some good cause, like sustainable agriculture or ecotourism, while actually laundering money, spying on local military and political figures, and collecting the IP addresses of people who contact them to monitor them. Meanwhile, they write misleading articles to cover their real activities and prevent honest researchers from finding out the truth.
These kind of fakes usually pose as extremely anti-Zionist, whereas the truth is they are nothing more than hasbarah, acting as honey pots to entrap or monitor naive people on the left.
They information they collect is then funnelled back to their masters in the intelligence community, many of whom are not above violating all kinds of national and international laws for the sake of lucrative homeland security contracts.
This explains how Ryals' idiotic analysis is taken seriously by some naive journalists. It contains just enough factual material (although completely distorted) that uninformed readers latch on to it, espcially those already biased to think that way.
Attacking right-wing targets is especially popular and enables a well-rewarded career in finanical journalism.
Also rewarding is supporting the biases and prejudices of short-sellers who naturally find nothing at all wrong in naked short-selling or abusive derivatives, which are all speculator-related frauds.
Ryals is your typical gringo brat and spy posing as a lover of native people and the third world.
The truth comes out, however, when anyone questions him. Then he rears up and boasts of his "Americanness", even though he has been non-resident for 15 plus years.
This sickening fraud preys on the poor people of Guatemala while spying on them.
He pretends to be anti-Zionist while defending the bloodline of empire, which is the Federal Reserve and the big banks.

Reload the page and try again.
Overall Experience:
The information and feedback I've been receiving has been very promising
Tuition & Financial Aid:
Financial aid will always have at least a small part that will hassle you.
Online Courses:
These online courses are simple to understand yet challenging
Overall Experience:
It has reasonable classes sizes; affordable and a friendly staff.
Academic Experience:
Pretty basic stuff although there are a lot of great certificaton classes available.
Campus Resources:
Library folks are friendly and helpful. Have never worked with anyone else
Academic Flexibility:
We are in such a small area that there are not many options for classes. Right now; I am registered for a class that I will have to drive 1 hour and 15 minutes each way just for a two hour class - each week. Any financial help would be greatly appreciated :)
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I always have a difficult time getting my paperwork submitted. The staff is friendly but really seems like they don't really want to be bothered to help you.
Overall Experience:
My experience has been generally neutral. I haven't had many difficulties with the school but I feel i should have went to a four year school instead.
Tuition & Financial Aid:
I received a letter from the school which stated i was not eligible for financial aid so I ended up paying tuition in full.
Career Services:
There are no post-graduation services that I am aware of.
There is a good art program. There are facilities both on and off campus.
Academic Experience:
I am in the associates of arts program. I currently have a low workload and have a lot of free time and feel that i should have registered for more classes.
Academic Experience:
There seems to be a good amount of extra curricular courses at the school which is nice. Most regular classes are easy and do not require too much work outside of class.
Student Body:
There doesn't seem to be much diversity in the student body.
Online Courses:
Online courses where somewhat difficult. Most of the online classes consist of reading out of the book then answering questions online.
Campus Resources:
A new student area for studying or lounging was just built which is nice and the library is not bad.Overall, the aesthetics of the school are okay.The main building seems to have the most recent renovations but other areas of the school tend to look less refined. From what I understand the baseball and softball programs are good but there are no other sports.
Campus Resources:
I have only once used the computer lab in the school but there is wifi which is relatively quick and has not gone down during my time at the school. Having a personal computer is not essential but is helpful as many of the classes require internet access outside of class.
Academic Flexibility:
I haven't had many difficulties during my time at the school. Sometimes you need to be persistent with the faculty to get things done but it's nothing too difficult to handle.
Overall Experience:
I really wish I had chosen to attend a larger university. My primary reason for this is that I want to be able to meet different people.
Academic Experience:
Once again there isn't much to do at this college so it is hard to say.
Academic Experience:
The professors are alright, they know what they are talking about.
Student Body:
The student body is very small and not very diverse. Once again this is another reason I cannot wait to go off to a larger school.
Online Courses:
Online classes are okay, my only problem with them is that it seems like the teachers don't really care too much and don't communicate very well.
There isn't anything to do on campus. I cannot wait to go off to a bigger school so I can meet new people and expand my knowledge.
