Starcraft. Heart of The Swarm
Most anticipated game , Starcraft, was released at July 27th. Blizzard, as always, announced the game two-three years before the beta, and people were uneasy , waiting for the release, watching Youtube movies, following concept-art and reading forums
When the Wings of Liberty campaign was not yet released, rumors about second expansion: Heart of The Swarm began. Starcraft Heart of The Swarm, should continue the story from the place, where the first part left – Terrans restored Sarah Kerrigan back to humanity. Though unclear, how Heart of Swarm will explain the story of Zerg – since there will not be any Zerg Queen Any more.
Heart of Swarm expansion should introduce new units, as usually Blizzard does – people all over the internet are speculating, what units exactly? Some say , lurkers will be back. Blizzard is known for tuning the balance between races very well (so we shouldn't worry too much about balance) – which is hard job, since all the races are so different, and there are lots of aspects to take care, make sure there is a counter unit to every unit, counter tactic to every counter tactic, and so on.
The 3 Campaigns
Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm will be Zerg Campaign ,as can be clearly understoon from its name. Developers told us , in various interviews, that they have a lot of ideas of how to implement this campaign, since it should vastly differ from the Terran one. There will not be any battle-cruiser, star-maps and so on. Any guess is a good guess, but some kind of Lair, of an Overmind cavern is likely.
Blizzard (the game studio that develops Starcraft Heart of The Swarm) explained, why there will be 3 expansions, and not one game, like we all are used to.
They want each campaign to be unique, to have an interesting plot, be well designed and balanced. The first part – Wings of Liberty (Terran campaign), was truly epic. Very interesting story-line, new units, tight balance, well done cinematics – it surely deserves 10/10 score. The length of each campaign is a game by itself – about 30 missions , including small stuff in the background , like the music jukebox machine, the Viking minigame, units upgrades, alien technology and more, and more!
Second campaign : "Heart of The Swarm" is expected to arrive in early 2012, which also will be campaign sized (but expansion-like priced) and final one, the Protoss Campaign "Legacy of The Void" , will probably be released somewhere around 2014. Protoss game will be at Zeratul's perspective , the dark Templar, whom we saw in Wings of Liberty cinematics, and even played some Protoss levels , which were disguised as Zeratul's dreams.
Heart of The Swarm will focus on Zerg, and those are psychologically unique race. While it is pretty sure, that the campaign will be tweaked for all players to enjoy and experience (as the Terran campaign was pretty easy to finish for everybody) , it still will be rather different. Zerg are "swarming" , and "cockroach" like race, dwelling on creep, crawling and mutating. Some might find this cool and special, some might get repulsed ,especially by the sound effects. Zerg also require entirely different gameplay stile (more quantity), and have their own pros and cons. Definetely- it is going to be a special game.
Heart of Swarm also introduces some mysteries to us, and hopefully, will reveal a story behind the race. Some say, that Zerg were sent by Xal'Naga , to wipe out life from the Universe, which was also created by Xal'Naga. Kerrigan (Queen of Blades) seems to be Overmind's attempt to break free from Xel'Naga will and stop being the weapon of destruction. But all of this yet to be uncovered in Starcraft Heart of The Swarm.
Anyways, Blizzard has never let us down,and despite very long developing/debugging/beta/tuning time we are sure, that Starcraft 2 Heart of The Swarm will be as ground shattering, as their games usually are.

Hey guys I was trying to get a little creative last night about possible trades because two weeks is a long damn time and while I want Noel I wanted to think what kind of moves I would be open to or at least would think about.
So here were the best two ideas I could come up with.
Trade #1
#1, #19 for Jonas Valanciunas and Demar Derozan.
Why Cleveland would consider this. JONAS! The magical unicorn would look great next to Tristan and has a lot of Marc Gasol in his game in my opinion. A lot of heart.
Why Toronto would consider this. They need to blow up everything. While Jonas is their one good prospect the opportunity to rid themselves of Demar's awful contract (9.5 mill for 4 years) would be very tempting especially if they could add two young players in this years draft that could be building blocks for the future but still not help them win enough to take them out of the Wiggins lotto.
Next move after this: MOVE DEMAR FOR ANYTHING! Like I would honestly take just a second round pick. Most likely destination would probably be Phoenix. If you could get Dudley from PHX for Demar I think you do it even if we need to sweeten the pot with a second.
In reality. Not sure Toronto would do this but I think it's close.
Trade 2.
#1 and Tyler Zeller to Charlotte for MKG and #4.
Why Cleveland does this: MKG fills the void at SF and at #4 they could draft Len or even Cody Zeller to play center.
Why Charlotte does it: People there love Tyler Zeller and the opportunity to add a top pick to the equation might be really tempting for them. All depends how much they still value MKG.
I've stated my preference but I just wanted to gauge how everybody would feel about moves like this.

DOSWELL, Va. (AP) - Virginia state police say they have found the body of the third passenger of a hot air balloon that drifted into a power line, burst into flames and fell into a heavily wooded area about 25 miles north of Richmond.
State police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said the searchers found the body at 11 a.m. Sunday. The two other passengers had previously been found.
Police have not released the victims' names, but family members and the University of Richmond said associate head coach Ginny Doyle and director of basketball operations Natalie Lewis were passengers. Veteran hot air balloon pilot Daniel T. Kirk was at the controls.

On Saturday, search teams spent the day conducting targeted grid searches that covered roughly an area 1/4 of a mile wide and three miles long. The grid searching is done by foot and is a very meticulous and methodical process. On Sunday morning, teams continued those efforts. At about 11 a.m., Sunday, the remains of the third occupant were discovered. This discovery was approximately 100 yards north of where the second occupant was found Saturday.
Now that the male pilot and two female passengers have all been located, this concludes the large-scale search efforts of the operation. Virginia State Police and National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigators are now concentrating on locating the balloon wreckage and evidence collection.

New York Wind Wars: Hiding the Facts (PTC allows Invenergy to desecrate)
"New York State's installed wind factories averaged a pathetic 23.5% Capacity Factor in 2012…. It's no wonder New York has earned the dubious distinction of having the highest electricity rates in the continental United States – 17.7 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) – a whopping 53% above the national average."
The last minute extension of the Production Tax Credit (PTC – aka: "Pork To Cronies") within the December 31, 2012 fiscal cliff deal was good news for Big Wind corporate welfare profiteers, like Michael Polsky's Invenergy. It was very bad news for rural/residential Towns being targeted by industrial wind developers here in New York State, and across the nation.
Despite the fact that the Wyoming County, NY Town of Orangeville's conflicted Town Board approved Invenergy's "Stony Creek" project in the Fall of 2012, Invenergy admitted they would not be going ahead with the project unless the PTC was extended – highlighting the fact that the only thing Invenergy is interested in 'harvesting' is taxpayers' money.
Once Crony-Corruptocrats in DC extended the PTC in that midnight fiscal cliff deal, the once-beautiful rolling hills of the Town of Orangeville were doomed. As Michael Polsky enjoys his new mansion, many Orangeville residents are helplessly looking on in disgust as Invenergy turns their entire Town into a sprawling industrial wind factory — rendering their homes virtually worthless — all thanks to the legalized thievery of their own tax dollars for The Wind Farm Scam.
As Big Wind CEO, Patrick Jenevein candidly pointed out in his Wall Street Journal op-ed, "Wind power subsidies? No Thanks" and follow-up TV interview, [Read more →]

New York's (Agenda 21) "Sustainability" Planning: What About Wind Power's Ecological Insults
"The Sustainable Development Challenge Grant program is also a step in implementing 'Agenda 21, the Global Plan of Action on Sustainable Development,' signed by the United States at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. All of these programs require broad community participation to identify and address environmental issues."
- Environmental Protection Agency, 63 Fed. Reg. 45157 (August 24, 1998).
On January 26, 2012, I attended the final meeting in Batavia, NY, for the Finger Lakes "Regional 'Sustainability' Plan," part of New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's $10 million statewide program to have regional Planning Departments orchestrate "sustainability" plans described in NYSERDA's "Cleaner, Greener Communities" Program. Here is my take on what is going on in regard to this extensive plan across New York State.
As those who have studied the United Nations's 'Agenda 21′ plan know, "Sustainability" is a key buzzword that is part-and-parcel of the UN's 'Agenda 21′. There is no doubt that the "Sustainability" Plan currently being devised by Planning Departments across the state, who are acting "under NYSERDA's thumb" (as one Planner phrased it at their first meeting in Batavia), is 'Agenda 21′ in the works (think carbon taxes, 'green' energy transfer-of-wealth schemes, and one-world governance).
At the "open-house style" meeting in Batavia last week, folks were asked to read the poster boards relevant to each part of the overall plan: Land Use, Water Use, Agriculture, Forestry, Waste Management, Economic Development, and Energy — and to then use sticky notes to post their comments on the boards for each particular segment of the plan.

Entertainment Meets Energy: Yoko's Magical Mystery Frac Tour
"[Sean] Lennon fancifully likened drilling and gas production to awakening a sleeping dragon. His mother said later of the comparison, 'That's beautiful,' but, thinking on it some more, suggested 'it's a sign of a devil, actually. In my mind it's more like a snake. A dragon is too big; you're giving too much respect for this thing.'"
- Eric Roston, "On New York Shale Gas, Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon Say Let It Be," Bloomberg.com (January 23, 2013).
That's Sean Lennon and his famous mother, Yoko Ono, speaking to reporters taking a tour of Susquehanna County, Pa., in an effort to highlight the supposed dangers of natural gas development. They were accompanied by Susan Sarandon, Josh Fox (producer of Gasland) and Ghandi's grandson, not to mention a bevy of local anti-development celebrities.
But the real story was the long list of folks not invited on the tour, which was billed as an "informational" affair but, as you could expect, was anything but.
The luxurious Mercedes bus wasn't hard to find in the Montrose Price-Chopper parking lot, so a few colleagues and I tagged along behind, watching as entertainment intersected with energy policy. (I'm the "white haired" guy with the nice jacket in the Bloomberg story, and I was accompanied by Rachael Colley, our Field Director, who captured some great video to memorialize the tour and wrote about it.)

New York State Windpower: Enough Business/Government Cronyism
While Invenergy waits for the federal Production Tax Credit (PTC) to be extended by this 'Lame Duck' Congress, as expressed in the 12/4/12 Batavia Daily News article: "Orangeville windfarm waits on the tax credit," there are thousands of local tax- and rate-paying citizens who are eagerly awaiting the expiration, permanent expiration, of this $0.022/kWh subsidy. The PTC is nothing more than a tax-shelter-generator for wealthy, multinational, rent-seeking corporations like Invenergy.
How does a business plan dependent on massive taxpayer-funded handouts for profitability make it past the drawing board in the first place?!? Any of us would have filed such a plan to its rightful place—in the garbage can.
The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA)– with the help of political cronies in high places–have attempted, and failed to push the PTC through various bills, not once, not twice, but FIVE (5) times in a little over a year. Congressmen were inundated with letters, e-mails and phone calls each of those (5) previous attempts from a lot of us telling them to say NO to the PTC–which they did. Yet, here it comes again.
No Means NO!
We hope that our elected "public servants" understand that NO means NO! "We the People" do NOT want more wasteful spending on an inefficient, unreliable, antiquated energy source that ruins peoples' lives, kills hundreds of thousands of birds a year, does nothing to significantly reduce CO2 emissions, and has exorbitant costs to boot.

'Imagine' A New York World of Hydraulic Fracturing (and economical clean energy, sustainable jobs)
In recent months, the state of New York has been a focal point in the broader public debate over hydraulic fracturing. Activists in the state have teamed with musicians (in the loosest possible definition of the term) and Los Angeles movie stars to try to block shale development from occurring.
Hollywood's finest, including Robert Redford and airline aficionado Alec Baldwin, as well as celebrities like meat-suit-wearing Lady Gaga have expended great effort in trying to undermine scientific conclusions about the safety of hydraulic fracturing.
Meanwhile, unemployment remains unacceptably high in the areas of upstate New York where prospective natural gas development would be located. So, it was with perhaps little surprise that when the voters in the Southern Tier had their say at the ballot box last week, they sent a clear message that they've had enough of "artists" telling them how to live their lives.
As the Associated Press reported, candidates opposing hydraulic fracturing "were beaten up and down the ballot after intense campaigns, some of which were framed as referendums on shale gas development."
Translation: bring all the tambourines and celebrity star power you want, but facts will win the day, and the people have spoken.
Not to be rebuffed by democracy, "Artists Against Fracking" founders Yoko Ono and Sean Ono Lennon – best known for breaking up the Beatles and, well, being the son of the lady who broke up the Beatles, respectively – have paid for a huge billboard that says "Imagine There's No Fracking."

Local Wind Subsidies: New York State's Money-Road to Nowhere
Special political favor at the local, state, and federal levels have created an artificial industry: industrial windpower. Massive turbines have resulted in negative ecological and economic effects. Rural towns and countryside across the USA have become the dumping grounds for massive infrastructure producing a paltry amount of remote, unreliable energy.
For many enjoying rural life, in particular, an invasion by industrial wind installations has turned environmentalism on its head.
New York State has more than its share of such malinvestment and damage. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli recently reported that tax exemptions by NYS's Industrial Development Agencies (IDAs) were not creating jobs and "shifting tax burdens" from mega-corporations to local residents.
As a result, we have the spectacle in Upstate New York of taxpayer-subsidized industrial wind installations driving people from their homes — while further endangering the populations of eagles, hawks, herons, cranes, bats, and all magnificent flying creatures. Rural wind power, in short, is not only a fiscal fairness issue, it is an environmental issue of the first order. Washington, D.C. environmental groups, are you listening … ?
Background: Wyoming County Subsidies
The Wyoming County Industrial Development Agency (WCIDA) was established under New York State legislation and regulation as a "public benefit corporation." Its mission "is to promote, encourage and attract economic development projects in Wyoming County that result in the retention and/or creation of job opportunities that will generate additional tax revenues."

New York's RPS: High-cost, Ineffectual, and Antienvironmental (30% goal perils)
"Ultimately, New York's RPS will cost ratepayers billions of dollars to support the construction of new generation. And if the state continues to rely on wind as the dominate resource, more turbines will be necessary to make up for low capacity factors. The program is up for review again in 2013. It's time for the PSC to remove the rose-colored glasses and acknowledge the program for what it is: Regulatory Capture at its finest."
Tens of thousands of acres across New York State have been transformed into sprawling electric generating facilities. Specifically, some 18 industrial wind complexes house nearly 1,000 towering wind turbines that consume the landscape and threaten otherwise pristine communities.
Now, consider that another 1,500 giant towers will need to be erected by 2015 in order to satisfy the state's 30% renewable energy mandate.
New York's Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) can be credited with most of the wind development in the state. Officials insist the policy has helped New York diversify its energy resources and will ultimately lower electricity prices but such claims are more rhetoric than real.
New York's RPS has already exceeded original budget projections, it's current renewable targets are unrealistic, and claims that prices will drop are predicated on a flawed understanding of how the New York wholesale power market operates.
New York first enacted its renewable energy mandate in 2004 through regulations adopted by the Public Service Commission (PSC). At the time, about 19.3% percent of electricity retailed in the state was derived from renewable resources, with the vast majority coming from large-scale hydroelectric facilities upstate and in Canada. The PSC ordered the state reach a 25% renewables target by 2013 which meant an incremental increase of 10.0 million megawatt hours (MWh) from projects built after 2003. [Read more →]

Wind Power Gets an Environmental Pass in New York State (Power NY Act's Article X vs. grassroot environmentalism)
Joke: 'When is an environmentalist not an environmentalist? …. When it comes to windpower.'
[This press release from August 10th is reproduced in its entirety. A description of the sponsoring organizations follows.]
The North-American Platform Against Windpower (NA-PAW) objects to the passing of the "Power NY Act" on August 8th. Also known as "Article X", this law reverses decades of democratic rights in New York State.
Municipalities no longer have the power to veto harmful projects targeting their constituencies. Albany bureaucrats will decide where energy and other industrial projects are to be built, and the people will have to bite the bullet.
Says Sherri Lange, NA-PAW's CEO: "I believe New Yorkers won't take it lying down. I have faith in the North American spirit: we won't let politicians take away our freedoms." Sherri is also founder and president of Toronto Wind Action. She has her own "article x" to fight in Ontario: the Green Energy Act, which equally tramples citizens' rights.
Wind Favoritism
It is believed Governor Cuomo repealed the right of veto from municipalities so as to impose numerous industrial wind facilities on them. But citizens are increasingly concerned with health issues associated with these industrial installations. Recent peer-reviewed scientific studies have shown that wind turbine syndrome is not imaginary. Infrasound and low-frequency noise emitted by wind turbines cause insomnia, headaches, stress, nausea, and more. This is confirmed by research from Dr Nina Pierpont, and by an epidemiology study by Professor Carl V. Phillips.
There are also concerns regarding the destruction of jobs in tourism, recreational industries, and elsewhere as subsidies increase public deficits, causing taxes to be raised. Other harmful effects include the killing of rare bird species such as eagles and falcons, of migrating birds, and of the very bats that help NY farmers save millions of dollars in pesticides. Water contamination, forest fires and reduced property values are also of concern.
Taxpayer Issue to Begin With
NA-PAW disapproves the un-democratic process which led to the vote of Article X. Citizens were not consulted, yet they will pay a high price for this. Sherri Lange said:
We will fight Article X with determination and with all our heart. North Americans have had enough of the wanton destruction of their great countryside and wilderness by monstrous machines that don't deliver on promises. Home Rule must come back to New York State and to Ontario.
NA-PAW has received the support of the European Platform Against Windfarms (EPAW). Its CEO, Mark Duchamp, warns that the huge cost of renewable energies is in part responsible for the crisis that is shaking the Euro: "Spain, for instance, is paying €8 billion ($11.3 billion) in subsidies to renewable energy every year. This makes it difficult to contain the national debt, while unemployment won't come down from 20%. It is truly unsustainable." [Read more →]

'Worst potholes' in Darwen set to be fixed
3:00pm Monday 10th March 2014 in News
A STREET plagued with potholes in Darwen has been labelled one of the worst in the borough by a councillor.
Sudell councillor Roy Davies said Powell Street, between Richmond Terrace and Industry Street, was in desperate need of repair.
But, he claimed, despite Blackburn with Darwen Council contractors from Capita acknowledging the state of the road surface, they had refused to repair it.
Council officials said although they had launched a programme of road repairs, they had to prioritise the most-used routes. Coun Davies said: "I spoke to Capita about the road and they agreed it wanted recovering but it is not going to be done. They say there may be funds next year to do it but it is not on the long-term plan."
Coun Davies said some holes had been filled in, but not enough and not to a high standard.
He said: "They sent someone up and filled in probably 20-odd holes, but not very well, and there was no sealant on them.
"I looked at where they have done it and it looks like someone has just thrown a bit of Tarmac in and then the biggest bloke has gone over and stamped it down a bit."
He said he had complained but heard nothing, adding: "It is about the worst I have seen anywhere in Darwen or even the whole borough."
Coun Jim Smith, executive member for environment at Blackburn with Darwen Council, said the road would be fixed. He said: "Even with the massive cuts the council has suffered we are making a £10m investment into our roads.
"We are dedicated to maintaining the borough's roads and I guarantee that Powell Street will be on the list for work in the coming year.
"Powell Street is inspected every six months as part of our safety defects policy, which identifies and arranges repair of significant hazards. Our records show that the condition of this road has deteriorated in the last six months so this will be a priority."

FAQs – Financial Aid
When should I apply for financial aid?
The maximum consideration deadline is March 1. It is always to your advantage to apply as early as possible. The School of Social Work does deplete its grant funds. There have been years when the School has been unable to provide grant aid to late applicants.
Should I wait until I know if I've been admitted to apply for financial aid?
Definitely NOT. You should complete the application for financial aid at the same time that you complete the application for admission, but definitely before March 1. (When March 1 falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the deadline is the following Monday.)
I am getting a divorce (or separation) and don't want to have my spouse's income counted. Is this possible?
Yes, in addition to the FAFSA and School Financial Aid Application you must provide the following documents: copy of your separation/divorce agreement, completed Verification Worksheet, signed copy of your taxes and W-2s. If you are not legally separated and/or divorced, please provide a letter stating your separate addresses as well as the date of your change in marital status. If you have not yet filed the FAFSA, do so following the directions for divorced or separated status.
I have had a recent change in my income. Can I receive additional financial assistance?
Possibly. In addition to the FAFSA and School Financial Aid Application, you will need to provide a letter to the School explaining the change in your financial circumstances as well as the date the change occurred. To the letter, please attach a Verification Worksheet, signed copy of your Federal Taxes, copies of your W-2s, and any supporting documents you feel may help. The Office of Admission and Financial Aid will review your information and offer any help we can.
How many credits must I take to be eligible for financial aid?
To qualify for traditional types of financial aid, you must be enrolled for five credits each semester. *Alternative education loans are available for students enrolled less than half-time.
If I'm in default on a federal education loan, can I still receive financial aid?
New federal regulations governing defaulted loans have made it easier for a student to get out of default on a loan and resume payment or defer the loan. Grant aid is available from the School (to financially eligible students) as long as the student is making repayment on the defaulted loan. Documentation is necessary. Students with a defaulted loan should call the Office of Admission and Financial Aid for specific information.
I live with my parents. Will this affect my financial aid?
Yes, but not as much as you might assume it would. All graduate and professional school students are considered to be independent of their parents for federal financial aid. For the School's grant money, we also assume that you are independent and do not require information about your parents' income and assets. However, we do assume that your living costs are about 30% less than students who maintain a separate household. There are many students here who qualify for a grant who also live with their parents.
When will I hear if I've been awarded financial aid?
When the Office of Admission and Financial Aid is notified of your admission, your application is reviewed. If your application is complete, you should hear within two to three weeks after admission; but probably not before April 15. If your application is not complete, you will receive notice of what is missing from your application.
The first award letters generally are not mailed before April 15 to applicants who have complete applications. Keep in mind that the sooner you file your federal tax return the sooner you can complete your part of your financial aid application.
My situation is really unusual. Is there anyone who can advise me?
Yes. The Office of Admission and Financial Aid is open from 8:30 to 4:30, Monday-Friday when classes are in session. After April 1, processing of applications becomes a priority and it is more difficult to reach the office between March 1 and September–when school begins. So, the best time to call or come in to discuss special circumstances is between now and the first part of April.
Are there scholarships for minority students?
All of the grant aid available at the School of Social Work is awarded based on financial need. The Human Rights and Opportunity Grant, available to all students, takes into account a variety of factors including a history or background of educational and/or socio-economic disadvantage.
The School also offers a number of competitive scholarships for which you can apply. Some of these scholarships are geared toward minority students. Application materials are available in September of each academic year and located on the Financial Aid bulletin board. You do not have to be a financial aid applicant to apply.
How do I apply for the Human Rights and Opportunity Grant?
You don't need to do anything beyond completing the application for financial aid. All students who apply for financial aid are automatically reviewed for all types of aid the School has to offer.
I just want to apply for loans. Do I have to complete this whole financial aid application process?
No, you need only complete the FAFSA. However, we recommend that students complete the entire application process. You might be surprised what you qualify for. Also, if you have a change in your finances, this will be one less form you will need to complete for additional consideration.
If I am ineligible for any kind of grant aid, I will have difficulty paying my tuition until I receive my loan money. Can I postpone paying my bill until my loan money arrives?
Yes, if you have been awarded a federal education loan through the School and you have returned your Acceptance Form indicating that you will borrow an amount sufficient to cover your tuition and fees, your payment will be automatically deferred (postponed) until your loan funds arrive.
Can I receive assistance for daycare expenses?
Yes. Please provide a letter indicating your request and the name(s) of the dependent(s) receiving daycare. Attach documentation of your payment to the daycare facilitator.
I applied for financial aid last year. Can you reactivate my application?
No. Even students who have been enrolled for the current year must reapply for every subsequent year of enrollment. This is because students' financial circumstances and family situations change from year to year and these changes have an effect on eligibility for financial aid.
When should I apply for financial aid?
The maximum consideration deadline is March 1. It is always to your advantage to apply as early as possible. The School of Social Work does deplete its grant funds. There have been years when the School has been unable to provide grant aid to late applicants.

KISS ~ Keep It Simple & Stylish
Do you have a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear? Do you dread shopping? Do you have clothes in your closet that still have tags on?
These are common issues that I find with my clients regarding wardrobe. It's no fun browsing a crowded closet full of items that you don't like or that don't make you look fabulous.
If you take the time twice a year as the seasons change to review your wardrobe you can eliminate this issue. The time you put in up front will save you time and aggravation on a daily basis. Ask yourself the following three questions.
- Do you love it?
- Does it fit you and is it flattering?
- Does it project the image you want the world to see?
If you answer no to any of these questions then you should toss, donate or consign it. If you answer yes to all three then use it to build on your wardrobe.
When you only have items in your closet what you love. You can see clearly what you have and will make fewer purchasing mistakes.
Step two of this process is to go through your closet and create a capsule of must have pieces in neutral colors. You want to have black, white, grey, brown and beige solid colors. These are staple pieces. Pants, tank tops, short sleeve shirts and long sleeve shirts in solid colors. For shirts be sure to have various neck lines as well. Scoop neck, v-neck etc. You can mix and match these pieces with your trendy seasonal pieces to complete your look. You will want to have a pen and paper handy to take notes of what key staple items you're missing. The great thing about these simple pieces is that you can purchase them on sale or at discount stores. Then you can splurge on classic or trendy pieces for the season.
Step three is to go shopping to complete your look. Take a friend with you that has a good sense of style. It's good to have a second opinion (especially for the rear view) and it's just more fun to shop with friends.

Asics Gel Challenger 9 Black/Red Men's Shoes Customer feedback
|Contribute Your Feedback
|Click the button below or email email@example.com to contribute your experiences with this product. Although not necessary, it's interesting to have a first name, city, state and country (no email addresses will be used). Any information submitted becomes the property of Tennis Warehouse.
Please include any relevant information such as skill level and style of play.
Comments: Love this shoe except that the first pair I had ripped at the seem on the outside front within the first
couple of weeks. I returned them for another pair and the same thing happened on the other foot in the first two weeks. I don't
love them any more.
Comments: I bought these 1 month ago. I just used them for 5 hours of playing and it's already broken on one
side. There is a cutting in the synthetic leather -- not a very durable shoe.
Comments: I bought these shoes on sale a month or two ago and stuck them in my closet. I wore them for the
third time last night and the seam over my right little toe separated.
Comments: Size 8 fit tight across the widest part of my foot and a little snug up through the toe. Heel was loose
for me, too. Length fit good. My foot measures 29 cm by 10 cm. I returned them.
Comments: The shoes are certainly not a replacement for the Gel Resolution. They take a little while to break and
have a snug fit. A little loose in the heel, that being said, these are fine shoes. The sole is really nice and appears that it should
last a good while on the local hard courts. I purchased them for my college team and they all agreed, they are comfortable after a
short break in period due to the stiff uppers.
Comments: The Gel Challenger 9 gives me stability and support since I'm a pronater. The first thing I do when I get
a new pair of tennis shoes is take out the inner soles and insert my plastic orthotics. The orthotics along with these shoes keep
my knees from swelling along with providing me arch support. No break in required. I'm a 53 year old 4.0 player.
Comments: I can't wear these shoes, they kill my feet every time. I have worn Gel Resolutions for years with no
problems and will order those again now. The Challengers seem to lack the gel cushioning I am used to with Asics.
Comments: Really comfortable shoe. It does fit wide in the heel, but if you use the lace-locks it cinches up and
keeps your heel secure. The upper part of the tongue could use a little more length and padding considering the need to use the
lace locks.
Comments: I have been wearing the Gel Resolution 5 for the past 6 months or so. Love the durability but not
necessary the weight or clumsiness of a fortress preventing wear. Gel Challenger 9 is surprisingly good shoe. Fits snug. Overall,
I find that it is a better performance shoe than the GR 5 if durability and super stability of the feel cup is not considered. Good all
around cushioning and fit for medium width and average arch. Pleasantly surprised. Dare I say this is better than Nike's Vapor 9.
Light weight. Excellent fit. Without the robust weight and exo skeleton of the bigger brother Gel Resolution 5 as in Court Ballistics
4.3. In many ways, this season, Asics has outdone its competitors. But please more color-ways Asics.
Comments: Wonderful shoes. I have slightly wide feet in the forefoot and these give me no problems. Comfortable.
A bit soft but still sturdy. I honestly feel like my happy feet help me play better. These are my second pair after trying the Babolat
Propulses, which gave me massive blisters and were so narrow on the sole in the forefoot that I kept turning my ankle.
Comments: Nice tweener shoe between the Resolutions and Speed. The arch support is good, the cushioning is
better than the Speeds, and softer feeling than the Resolutions. They fit my narrow/medium foot well except for a little pinching
at the top of the eyelelt when tightening them for match play. Inside, the lateral stability is solid but the outside support is
deliberately lighter. I am in shoes all day coaching high school tennis and play regularly in them. Will be buying these again
(hoping for new color options). Solid choice!
Comments: I was afraid to buy these since the old Resolution 2 did not fit properly and gave me a black toenail. But
get a really good vibe from Ascis and decided to try it again after my Nike 2k12 Breath fell apart after 3 months of playing. And so
far, these are winners! Very comfortable shoes, true sizing and I only hope they will last longer than my Nikes.
Comments: Fantastic shoe! I have both the Gel Resolution 4 and the Solution Speeds in size 11.5. Sizing is true
the Challenger 9. This shoe has the slipper fit of the Speed but with more support and directional stability. Not as "clunky" as the
Gel Resolutions. A great shoe with great fit if you are an Asics fan. I will be buying many more pairs for tournament use.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- New Bills defensive co-ordinator Mike Pettine is still evaluating the high-priced, underachieving group he has inherited, but he saw enough from the opposing sideline last season to know "the cupboard is not bare" in Buffalo.
Having spent the past four seasons with the Jets, Pettine says Friday in his introductory press conference that the talent level in Buffalo was one factor in his decision to switch teams two weeks ago.
"There are some good football players here and we are excited to work with them," he said. "They are explosive athletes and playmakers and we are looking forward to building a system that is going to take advantage of that."
Pettine's challenge is to transform a defence that last season finished 22nd in yards allowed, while giving up 435 points, the second-most in team history. Buffalo went 6-10 before coach Chan Gailey was replaced by Doug Marrone.
The defensive struggles were a surprise, considering Buffalo invested consecutive top 10 picks in defensive lineman Marcell Dareus and cornerback Stephon Gilmore and signed defensive end Mario Williams to a $100 million contract in free agency.
"I can't really speak on what happened here," Pettine said. "I do know that we are going to bring a passion. We are going to work hard and the stuff we are going to do is going to highlight what we do well. There is no substitute for putting the work in, both on the field and in the classroom. I think that's where a lot of people think there is some magic schematically. It really isn't. Football is a game of a million little things.
"And we'll try to get as many of those things taught as we can."
Pettine said it's too early to declare what schematic changes he may implement. Dave Wannstedt switched the Bills to four-lineman, three-linebacker base formation last season after the team spent two years deploying -- and drafting players for -- a 3-4 alignment.
Under Pettine, New York's defence has not ranked lower than eighth in the NFL in yards allowed. And that includes a top ranking in 2009. The Jets were known for being a 3-4 team the past four seasons, but Pettine said that is a "misconception."
"The cornerstone of our system is its flexibility and its multiplicity," he said. "We'll be in 3-4, we'll be in 4-3, we'll be in 46. If you can draw up a front, we'll probably be in it."
Pettine was more forthcoming about the attacking style the Bills will play.
"We're going to play smart, we're going to be tough, we're going to be relentless," he said. "We're going to put pressure on you. We're going to force quarterbacks, we're going to force offences to make very quick decisions. We're going to take our best shot at you. We're not going to be a read-and-react defence. That is not in our vocabulary."
Marrone has "always been an admirer" of Pettine's and that he boarded a flight to meet with him immediately after being introduced in Buffalo Jan. 21.
"Having more of a background on the offensive side of the ball ... you look for someone that has caused a lot of problems for offences around the NFL. Someone that you don't ever want to play against," Marrone said. "When that was going through my mind, it kept coming around to one name."
Pettine said he received several calls from mutual friends urging him to go work for Marrone.
"It got to the point," Pettine said, "where I was literally answering the phone and saying if you are calling me to tell me how good of a guy Doug is and how great he is going to be to work for, I'd say, 'I already got that. You got anything else?"'
The Houston Texans selected defensive end Jadeveon Clowney first overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Olympia's first cohousing community is navigating more red tape in order to build a new "common house" and more dwelling units.
Located in west Olympia, Woodard Lane Cohousing is a 2.34-acre neighborhood within a neighborhood. In April 2010, residents moved into Woodard Lane's three finished "fourplexes," each containing four dwelling units. One unit has served as a temporary common house with a kitchen, tables, guest bedroom, washer, dryer, bulletin boards and a big-screen TV.
The cohousing community's residents are also their own developers. Woodard Lane is working with the city on a zoning amendment that would allow two more dwelling units above the property's new common house.
The city's hearing examiner has approved the acquisition of two Transfer Development Rights, known as TDRs. The process is a tool for increasing density in a development by shifting one parcel's rights to another. In this case, the rights would come from a rural landowner in Thurston County.
Woodard Lane's current density is eight residential units per acre. The community needs the extra density to accommodate 18 total units because there are plans to build another fourplex when enough buyers come forward, said co-founder Liv Monroe.
The Olympia City Council is expected to approve the amendment April 15. Monroe said construction of the new common house could begin as soon as June and would last six to eight months.
Throughout its existence, Woodard Lane has attracted opposition from some adjacent homeowners, specifically in regard to buffering and the location of trash bins.
One of those neighbors, Debra Van Tuinen, moved into her home 24 years ago. At the time, the area behind her house at Thomas Street and Muirhead Avenue was undeveloped woods. Van Tuinen said the condos of Woodard Lane defy city code by being out of scale with the surrounding neighborhood and too close to her home.
To mitigate complaints, Woodard Lane erected a wooden fence along its eastern border and relocated the dumpsters to the property's southern edge. Van Tuinen said she's happy to see the changes after fighting the development with help from an attorney. However, she laments her loss of privacy and believes that Woodard Lane has reduced the value of her home.
"They've taken my afternoon sun," Van Tuinen said from her back porch. "I'd like them to conform to city code."
Cohousing residents have fully functional private homes and also share facilities. Before moving in, Woodard Lane residents commit to participation in community life. This includes serving on committees, doing chores, hosting celebrations or cooking a shared meal for everyone. The concept differs from a commune, in which members tend to live under one roof and even share resources such as income.

Twenty-year-old Azamat Tazhayakov and another friend removed items from Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's room three days after the attack.
His pal is facing 20 years for obstruction of justice.
And "slept a little bit more," according to his roommate.
His lawyers have requested a change of venue.
Apparently they could eat.
The process of building a case against the surviving Boston Marathon bomber continues.
Tsarnaev brainstormed with his Kazakh friend about it.

Summary: This critically acclaimed text takes a modern and completely unique approach to the study of cell biology. Its overriding theme is that cellular structure, function, and dysfunction ultimately result from specific macromole cular interactions. The text takes readers from an explanation of the "hardware" of molecules and cells to an understanding of how these structures function in the organism in both healthy and dis...eased states. An exquisite art program allows readers to better visualize the molecular structures. [read more]

Damien Brown
Damien grew up on the North West Coast of Tasmania in Devonport and was always listening to the radio.
Taping and recording his own 7AD shows and 'putting them to air' from his cubby house ... not the biggest audience!
When Damien was 17 he was accepted as a cadet at The Advocate working there for five years starting in Ulverstone before moving briefly to Burnie and spending most of his reporting days in Devonport.
It was then time for Damien to travel... his pale skin not coping with any form of NW Tasmanian sunshine... so he headed to Canada living there for two years with working in hotels and resorts across Canada and the US.
Rumour has it he even served dinner to US President George W Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien not to mention the Dixie Chicks, John Travolta and Ozzy Osbourne.
After returning home Damien decided a change in career was needed and he studied education from Hobart and worked in a grade 5/6 class at Campbell Street Primary School.
But the irresistible lure of the media was calling and Damien was offered a job as a general news reporter at Southern Cross Television.
He spent two years at Southern Cross before moving to The Mercury Newspaper where he was state political reporter and chief-of-staff and now the ABC!
For Damien presenting radio is a dream come true especially 'at home' in Northern Tasmania.

"Kris really didn't want a big celebration, but he had jokingly told my mom he'd be fine if there were mini-horses there," says Kardashian with a laugh. "Later that night at the party, my mom brought out two mini-horses, covered in glitter, for us! It was hysterical!"

Rushing touchdowns count for six points, too.
Blount County's four high schools may have each graduated their quarterback a year ago, but there appears to be more than enough muscle returning at running back to compensate.
Maryville senior Thomas Shuler, who lost his sophomore season to a knee injury, was flying by season's end, rushing for 116 yards and a touchdown in the state championship game as the Rebels won their fourth consecutive 4A crown and 60th consecutive game. It marked the third successive contest — coming at the end of a 15 game season — in which the Maryville ace cracked the century mark.
Shuler's new backfield mate at Maryville, junior Buddy Jones, is likely to remind Rebel fans of the plunging runs of former fullback Adrian "Tank" Baker. Jones has muscled up considerably and looks explosive.
William Blount returns 2007 county rushing champion Darrin Garner. There wasn't anything close to the Governor flyer in terms of raw speed a year ago, and William Blount will still deploy the spread offense to create running lanes for the 1,000-yard rusher to get loose.
Junior Michael Cermak became more and more of the Heritage offense last season. A rare blend of power, speed and instinct, the budding Mountaineer star is sure one to keep an eye on.
Then there's Alcoa.
"We've got some depth, I think," Tornado coach Gary Rankin said. "One thing we're doing right now is we're working a lot of kids in there."
The Tornadoes lost 1,000-yard game-breaker Troy Hodge after last season, but, if the first day in pads on Monday was any indicator, the four-time defending Class 2A champions don't look as if they'll be hurting too much.
Rankin is working six backs into the rotation in preparation for the season opener with Spring Hill on Aug. 22, with plans to use all six in the quest for a fifth straight crown. With the Tornadoes blowing through much of last season's 2A schedule at a punishing pace, Jaron Toney, Taharin Tyson, Darrel Warren, Dee Herbert, Jalik Toney and Cameron Foster all saw plenty of work.
"They've all got their strengths and weaknesses," Rankin said, "but we're playing three sets of backs."
With an equally deep offensive line out front of them, new quarterback Chase James likely won't feel any pressing need to carry the offense all by himself.
"We do have some depth in the line," Rankin said. "There are some pretty good fights up there for who's going to start."
Hodge, 10 yards per carry, proved a touchdown machine for the Tornadoes a year ago. Paired with Mr. Football quarterback Randall Cobb, now a freshman at the University of Kentucky, Alcoa had the star power that could blow a game open quickly. Deep threat Sam Thompson, back for his senior season, averaged 37 yards per catch.
These Tornadoes largely don't yet have the name recognition, but they're sure fun to coach, Rankin said.
"This team sure has no ego problem," he said. "There's no selfishness, and that's very rewarding for a coach."
Only time will tell how far Blount County's four schools can go on the ground. Quarterbacks like Maryville's Brent Burnette, a freshman at Middle Tennessee State University, William Blount's Tyler Burstrom, on a baseball scholarship at Chattanooga State, and Cobb could put points on the scoreboard in a hurry. So too, though, could burners like Garner and Shuler.
Garner tore off better than 1,500 yards in becoming William Blount's all-time single-season rushing leader a year ago. Drawing interest from several schools, he'll be motivated to deliver a lights-out senior campaign.
Shuler was heralded as a speedster extraordinaire before a knee injury in preseason wiped out his sophomore year. The speed returned game by game last season. By the close of business, Maryville's feature back was back to his old self, hinting a big finish this fall with 920 yards and 12 scores on 153 carries.
Tyson, Warren, Herbert, Foster and the Toneys won't start with those numbers, but Rankin likes their potential.
"We've got a lot of depth for a 2A team," he said. "We can't really tell until we get into some scrimmages, but it looks like good depth."

Mountain restaurants
Lots of choice
For a high modern resort, the choice of restaurants in Val Thorens is good, and improving. The piste map names the restaurants – unlike the maps of the other valleys. It's such a simple thing ...
Editors' choice
We've had several good lunches in the rustic table-service section of the Chalet de la Marine (0479 000186). It has a big terrace with 'funky' music. The self-service section below is also good and has a wide choice. And the loos are 'the best on the piste'. The self-service Folie Douce and table-service Fruitière are modelled on the Val d'Isère originals, the latter with an interesting menu, well executed when we lunched there. Reporters in 2012 confirm that the après-lunch party is 'mental' – 'not to be missed'.
Worth knowing about
The rustic Chalet des 2 Lacs is a reader favourite, and we had a good lunch here last season – warm, welcoming, log fire, good food. The Chalet des 2 Ours is repeatedly recommended for food ('great home-made pasta'), service and views; we visited when it was very quiet and had a good tarte tatin. The Aiguilles de Péclet 'serves massive portions'.
The piste map shows picnic areas.
Eating out
Star quality
The resort's 'Holiday Guide' is very helpful, with photos and some idea of the cuisine and prices.
Top of the range is the restaurant in the Oxalys, with two Michelin stars. We had a delicious and very inventive meal here; expensive, but worth it. The Fitz Roy and Val Thorens hotels also have serious restaurants. The Epicurien has gastro ambitions, too.
There are plenty of more modest places. A 2013 reader tips the Chamois d'Or ('superb, varied menu, became a regular'). Others liked the Petite Ferme ('decent food and prices, good pizzas'). For Savoyard stuff there's the Fondue ('friendly, intimate'), Auberge des Balcons, Chaumière and Cabane. The Vieux Chalet has a varied menu, including seafood and duck. The Steak Club found favour with a reporter who 'went three times – excellent pasta, steaks, burgers'. The Blanchot is a wine bar with a simple carte.
Livelier than you might expect
Val Thorens is more lively than most high-altitude ski stations. The action now starts up the hill at the Folie Douce (see 'Mountain restaurants') or on the terrace of Club Med in the village. The Red Fox up at Balcons is crowded at close of play, with karaoke. The Frog and Roastbeef at the top of the village is a long-established British ghetto. The Downunder and the Saloon are lively. Quieter bars include the cosy Rhum Box Cafe (aka Mitch's). Later on, the Malaysia cellar bar rocks from 11pm until the early hours with 'top quality' live bands and dancing.
Off the slopes
Could be worse
Val Thorens is not ideal for non-skiers. But there's a sports centre with a small pool, saunas, hot tubs, gym etc and a leisure centre with bowling (pricey) and pool tables. Free weekly concerts are held in the church (recommended by a reporter), and there are twice-weekly street markets, a small cinema and an ice-driving course. The toboggan run (the longest in France) is 'great fun'. There are four walking trails marked on the reverse of the piste map. A pedestrian lift pass covers nine lifts, allowing access to some mountain restaurants and the Cîme de Caron (don't miss the panorama from there). Buses to St-Martin and Les Menuires run five times a day except Saturdays.

Number of ratings 13 / Average Grade: C Submit a correction
This class was hard for me. I know many people that did really well in that class. Very boring class. Get MWF because its only 50 minutes. If you have never taken Biology before (in high school) wait a semester or two. She expects too much and it can be overwhelming.
Dr. Bensen's class isn't too hard if you take good notes, pay attention in class, and do the homework assignments. She gives you lots of ways to earn points besides exams, such as online assignments and participation points. She also gives you time to take notes from her slides. The material can be overwhelming, but studying lots will get you by!
Bisc 102
I think her tests are fair compared to the material she goes over in class,but I believe she gets way too detailed for a non-major biology. She will never let you out early but she is easy to get in contact with. Fair teacher but strict.
impossible. so hard and she makes it so much harder than it needs to be. especially for a non major class. she's really nice and will try and help you if you go talk to her one on one, but the class itself is so hard.
This woman is heartless. I was very ill on the day of a test. I could barely get out of bed, but I went to her and gave her a doctor's note, hoping she would let me take it at another time, but she said she didn't care if I was sick. I still had to take the test. Very pro-woman and health freak. Just awful.
She is a great teacher. Make sure you go to class and answer the clicker questions. As long as you do that, and do all of her study questions, you will do well on the tests.
She is a good teacher. Some people cant get past the fact that she will never be hopping around, making a theatrical scene for biology 101. She is serious, but she is helpful. She makes her best effort to get to know her students. If you pay attention, answer the clicker questions, take notes its really easy to make good grades.
Quite hard and not very helpful.
At first I thought she was going to be a terrible teacher, but after a few classes I changed my mind. She isn't the most entertaining class and it can be a hard class if you don't pay attention. But she's very helpful if you ask questions and she's willing to work with you if she knows you're trying. If you just make sure to show up to class every day, she counts off for absences, and pay attention to her lectures you should be fine.
So HARD, and boring as hell, she expects wayyy to much out of her students. The final is impossible, and if youre not ready to commit all your time to this class dont take it.
She is one of the most BORING teachers i have EVER had. she thinks that her class is the most important class on campus (she said so herself) and she just sucks as a teacher. she has one monotone voice and will keep you until the very last second of class. don't bother being late to class cause she's been known to call people out on it.
hard tests, participation points via clickers. if you come to class and do her study questions, its fairly easy to make a B
Hard class but you can do well if you attend and pay attention. Gives 5 points everyday you attend. Clicker is needed for daily quizzes. Doesn't matter if you get the quiz wrong, only used for participation.

I went to a career fair where International Paper was present. I did an interview on campus which was very fast paced. I then was asked to fly to Memphis for a more in depth interview. They call this the blitz, they do it every year. They fly so many students down and have a social meeting, interviews (most likely 6), and then a night out in Memphis with current employees. The interviews were pretty easy, normal questions about tell me a time when, but mostly just them getting to know you. This was by far my favorite of about 100 interviews I did. Very relaxed environment for such a large company. I participated in the blitz this year as a current employee and really enjoyed it.Interview Questions

I met the HR manager at a Career Fair at my university. I chatted with her for a bit and left a resume. About two weeks later I received a call from her to schedule an interview. The first interview involved a tour of the paper mill (1 hour) followed by a panel interview with the HR manager, the lead process engineer, and the engineering manager. The questions were very standard and the interviewers were very nice. I got a call back for a second visit, which involved 3 1:1 interviews with various mangers of the company and more detailed plant tours (2.5 hours). Overall very positive interview experience. Note: do not arrive to interviews in your nicest clothes. You will be given steel toe shoe add-ons and your shoes (and person) may get wet.

I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at International Paper.Interview Details
A recruiter contacted me and I was going to interview, but then was told the position had been filled. I was later contacted by a different recruiter with the same job specifications. I was then asked if I would be willing to relocate. The recruiter asked questions about dealing with personnel and when I would be available to start. I also had to give three references for him to contact.
The recruiter then passed my info on to the HR manager and set up a 30 to 45 min phone interview for me.
At the end of the phone interview I was told by the HR manager that he would like me to come to the plant the following week.
The interview process was very quick. The managers interviewed me multiple times and I found it very redundant.The Plant Manager asked for a lot of specific details regarding my resume.
I had to go back on the next week for a final interview. The managers I had already interviewed with the previous visit interviewed me again in a panel interview. They asked the same type of questions.
Once this was completed, I had to take a personality assessment. This was about 100 questions. I was given the drug testing at that time and then sent the final offer over email.Interview Questions

- It was a lot of the same questions over and over again. You had to know what you were talking about obviously. The plant manager asked for a lot of details on the specifics of my resume. If interviewed by the plant manager, be ready to talk specifics with him. Answer Question
