Pacific Southwest Research Station
Research Partnerships
Tahoe Science Projects supported by SNPLMA
Measuring the ability of floodplains to treat urban runoff in the Lake Tahoe basin
Lead Researchers: Geoffrey Schladow, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, University of California at Davis; Stefan Wuertz, Department of Engineering, University of California at Davis
Progress Report (October 1, 2010 December 31, 2010) available for download.
Annual Accomplishments Report (October 1, 2009 September 30, 2010) available for download
The project seeks to measure the mechanisms and the efficiency of fine particle removal from urban stormwater using floodplains. The project is based in the Cold Creek/Trout Creek floodplain, and utilizes the Cattlemans detention basin and the floodplain immediately downstream of it. Experiments separating the role of biofilm processes and gravitational settling will be conducted within the detention basin, and on the floodplain downstream of the basin in response to both natural overflows of the basin and pumped flows of urban stormwater. The goals of the project are to (1) quantify the effects of gravitational settling and biofilm processes in the removal of very fine (<20 micron) particles from urban stormwater and to (2) determine the elemental composition of both the stormwater itself and the particulate material to assess the potential for negative impacts to the resident floodplain biota and their food webs. This information will be used to help calibrate and validate a two-dimensional floodplain model that will enable floodplains to be designed to optimally treat urban stormwater.
Expected date of final products: June 2011.
Schedule of milestones and deliverables
The project is expected to start in July 2009 and is scheduled to continue until June 2011.

text: With no release planned for Destiny this year, when can it be expected? Our sources tell us that seems to be unknown. It is obvious that now everyone will expect a 2014 release, but it seems Activision is content to let Bungee work its magic, and there is no race to get to the finish line at this point. Let's see how Activision feels about a release of Destiny in 2014 around E3, which is when we expect to hear much more about the title.

Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:We serve Jacksonville FL and surrounding FL towns.
About Our Rescue Group:Dogs Deserve Life is an all-breed, non-profit, no-kill dog rescue organization. We exist to spare the innocent lives of homeless dogs and place them with loving families so they can live the lives they deserve. Nearly all of the dogs we rescue are taken off of euthanasia lists at high-kill shelters, often literally hours before their senseless death. The dogs are then transported to us by volunteers and placed in loving foster home care while being prepared for adoption. We provide our rescue dogs with all the care, time, exercise, love, and attention they need and deserve in order to become their whole selves and adoptable. We fully vet all of our rescue dogs prior to or upon adoption, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm test, vaccinations for rabies, distemper, parvo, and bordetella, and deworming. Any medical needs each dog has are also addressed prior to adoption. By the time our rescue dogs leave our care, they are healthy in mind, body, and spirit, ready to be adopted and loved by their new families, and ready to go right into basic obedience training for the benefit of both the adoptive families and the dogs.
Donate to Our Rescue Group...www.paypal.com via firstname.lastname@example.com
Come Meet our Pets:Our rescue dogs are available for viewing on www.adoptapet.com and www.petfinder.com under Dogs Deserve Life.
Our Adoption Process:We ask all prospective adopters to complete and return our adoption application. Upon receipt, we will call you to discuss your application and, if it seems like a good fit, we arrange for your family to come to our facility to meet your dog or dogs of interest.. If, at that point, it indeed is a good fit, the adoption process can be completed.
Our adoption fees range. Please see our individual dog profiles to determine our adoption fee for a particular dog.

Terra Nova Season Finale Review: No Hope Plazaby Dan Forcella at . Comments
The largest issue I have with the Terra Nova season finale is that there were many nice moments that could have been great if they weren't part of a show that - in general - is just not good.
For example, the early scene at the bar was nice. Lucas making a big deal about his pseudo brother/sister relationship with Skye was funny, and then after he tried to go a bit too far with his fake sister, Josh coming to the rescue was admirable.
Lucas again proved to be a viable villain as he took a number of free shots on the teenager, before Big Jim Shannon came storming into the bar to save the day.
For as smart as Elizabeth is supposed to be, this was the first time she really did anything to prove her intelligence. Her ruse on Weaver, which got him to give up Jim, was bright, hilarious, and moved the plot exactly where it needed to go. It took 12 episodes, but Elizabeth finally did something worthwhile.
Unlike a number of the times that Terra Nova has attempt to pull at the heart strings of its viewers, the sweet moment between Zoe and Commander Taylor worked like gangbusters. It worked because it was an honest moment between two characters that we have had a chance to get to know over the season's run, and two characters that we've seen have a history (Zoe playing Taylor at the festival).
It didn't hurt that the girl's "If you need another hug, just ask" was the cutest darn thing I've ever seen.
As much as I've disliked Commander Taylor to this point in the series, the moments I have enjoyed him have all had to do with his relationship with Lucas, so when things looked like they were going to heat up between these two, I got excited. It was pretty obvious that Lucas was pulling a fast one on his dad with the "I'm sorry" bit, but that doesn't mean it wasn't interesting to watch.
Also, there was the added bonus of Lucas's new-found fake sister coming to Pops's rescue when Skye shot up Lucas. I'm just glad Luke managed to get away. Ashley Zukerman killed it again this week.
Finally, there was a bit of intrigue as the first season's story came to a close. Now that the portal and Hope Plaza have been destroyed, it seems like there will be no contact with anything other time period. Where did that figurehead come from? Interesting.
As is true with most of my compliments of Terra Nova, you have to take this praise with a grain of salt. All of these positive moments didn't resonate nearly as well as they could have because of the problems Terra Nova has had in the past and in this episode itself.
If you've been reading my reviews throughout the season, you know my main problems with the show are the sub-par acting, the awful dialogue, and the series not being able to figure out what kind of show it is.
All of these issues were evident in "Occupation/Resistance" as were some of these weird, wacky things of note ...
The bad guys came to Terra Nova and put up the most evil looking flags and logos they possibly could.
Throughout the year I have heard "klicks" more than anyone should ever have to in a lifetime. What was surely meant to give this world its own little details, just began to annoy me time after time after time. Are there no other units of measurement in 2149?
What a difficult job that woman we had never seen before had in disabling that bomb! She never saw that kind before but she thought she might be able to figure it out. Did you notice what she ended up doing? She cut every single wire. Wow! Brilliant!
The plan by the bad guys was just so elaborate. How many trips were they planning on taking? Was the reward worth the effort it was taking them to do all of that? And this Weaver guy was the right man to bring back? The guy shooting brachiosauruses for the heck of it? Jeez.
So there was some good and there was some bad in the Terra Nova season finale. This series definitely didn't turn out to be what I hoped it could be before the season started, but it also isn't completely dead. If there is a second season, I will continue to watch to see where this story goes.
What about all you TV Fanatics? What did you think of the Terra Nova season finale? Are you interested in seeing a second season of the FOX series? And did Jim Shannon prove that not only Cool Guys Don't Look at Explosions?

A little too much bashing here now!
If I don´t like a show I DO NOT WATCH IT!
Terra Nova was in my opinion a truly epic show that could´ve gone for at least two more seasons the characters felt real and the Shannon Family had all the problems and good things that a real family can experiance!
Lucas "pulling a fast one" on his dad was the ONLY predictable event in an otherwise very UN- Predictable show wich is rare especially with this genre and then some!
Macnimation: *FACEPALM* Offcourse if you gave up after only 4 episodes you are clearly the wrong person to make any objective judgement about it and the special effects what the heck was wrong with them???? Had they used the same effetcs as in Jurassic park they never would´ve been able to afford anything!
I just watched the first episode off the Walking dead and I´m almost ready to give up on because the special effects kind off sucked BIG time mostly the gore effects was extremely un realistic to the point off being silly but I´m still going to try and watch a few more before I start bitching about the show in it´s entirety!
I loved this show! It was entertaining, so it served its purpose. Some of you should take the sticks out of your butts.
For all that are bashing the show, come on it is a Sci-Fi NOT REALITY TV! It is supposed to let people escape from our everyday lives and imagine what it would be like IF we could travel through space and time, which if you do not know cannot happen. My best advice is if you do not like it fine TURN THE CHANNEL and watch the Kardashians. IF I want to watch reality TV I would look out the window and if all you critics think you can do better audition and make a better show yourself.
I was waiting an ending like this, no surprises. However, I enjoyed a lot watching this episode... Above all, Zukerman acting. He´s amazing playing the distubed Lucas, absolutely cute.
I don't know what's with u people this is the best show I've ever seen
I finally watched the finale and personally I still love this show. No mention of Washington's death? We have seent he girl, Ripley, who stoped the bomb before. And what's wrong with klicks? How is it any different from the use of the words shiny or gorram in Firefly?
Jus saw the season finale....finally got to see sonething entertaining. A message to the critics. Ur physchology doesnt allow you to praise anything no matter how gud it is. So f urselfves
I was trying very hard to like it but nop. Now I only watch it to criticize it, its hard to get into a show that supposedly its about a hole new world but some how that hole new world revolves around one family if its not the dad been the hero its the little girl been the clue to what the hole show was about.. its always about one person from that family its like they are trying really hard to put all the family members in every show. I agree with most of the comments that have been posted. Sorry, lame show..
"Josh coming to the rescue was admirable" Really? Because of all the stupid shit that kid has pulled, that took the cake. How gallant! He stepped in to rescue the girl from a little creepy fondling of her hand, in a crowded bar. And what exactly was he hoping to accomplish by punching Mr. Creepy in a bar full of his mercenaries, in a settlement RUN by him? Because what he DID accomplish was pretty impressive: He blew his dad's cover, he forced the girl he was so gallantly rescuing to go to Mr. Creepy and offer god knows what to save his stupid life, he forced his mom to risk herself and his sisters to save his dad, he forced Lt. Washington to sacrifice herself to get his family out, and he cost Taylor his source of inside intel and severely undermined the resistance movement. Yeah, that was... so admirable. I swooned. I want to marry him now, and have his babies. I'm sure Skye does too. But then, Josh isn't a character so much as a cheap plot device, so whatever.
I fell asleep after episode 4.
Too much about Spielberg family values. The show is basically The Brady Bunch in a different location.
The dinosaurs ( on the rare occasion they appear ) are unrealistic and badly rendered. But they act better than the real actors...enough said.
The special effects like explosions etc look like they were done by first year media students. This would be acceptable if the show was not hyped up to be the best ever produces etc.... Very disappointing. I cannot see a second series being signed off unless Spielberg moves aside.

LST-994 was laid down on 12 March 1944 by the Boston Navy Yard; launched on 17 April 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Lillian A. Finnerty; and commissioned on 17 May 1944, Lt. R. P. Gonder, USNR, in command.
During World War II, LST-994 was assigned to the European theater and participated in the invasion of southern France in August and September 1944. Following the war, she performed occupation duty in the Far East and saw service in China until mid-April 1946. She returned to the United States and was decommissioned on 31 July 1946 and struck from the Navy list on 28 August that same year. On 23 December 1947, the ship was sold to Pablo N. Ferrari & Co. for operation.
LST-994 earned one battle star for World War II service.

Under those terms, even a person who admitted to raping someone 10 years before could get away without being charged because of the statute of limitations.
That changed this week when Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback signed into law House Bill 2252, which removed the arbitrary 10-year reporting period and made it possible to report such sexually violent acts indefinitely. Such changes made possible by the legislation — co-sponsored by state Rep. Blaine Finch, R-Ottawa — are long overdue and should help with the identification of perpetrators for cold reported cases, as well as those reported years after they occurred. Many state-penal systems across the country collect DNA samples from every inmate, which greatly expands the forensic database of inmates and parolees who might have committed other crimes, but remained under the radar of law enforcement.
In Ohio — a state that requires a monthly inventory of inmates in need of DNA collection — a 37-year old man, Larry McGowan, reportedly was linked to the rapes of five women, as well as the murder of one of them. Locally, truck driver Ralph Corey was convicted in October of sexually assaulting a then-16-year-old Walmart Supercenter cashier on the night of Feb. 19, 2000, as she prepared to leave the employee parking lot at 2101 S. Princeton St., Ottawa. Corey was convicted of two counts of aggravated sexual assault, one count of aggravated kidnapping, one count of attempted rape and one count of making a criminal threat in connection with the incident, according to Herald archives. The case had gone cold until DNA retrieved from the crime scene matched Corey's DNA in a national database system as he was about to be released from an Arizona penitentiary on counterfeiting charges Nov. 8, 2010.
That success counters national averages, which reflect 25 percent of rape cases not resulting in an arrest.
The now-29-year-old woman who was victimized by Corey can rest easier knowing the man who violated her is back in prison for his crimes and can't hurt her again. Other rape and sexual assault victims still await the identification and apprehension of the individual that violated them. Now, with the removal of the statute of limitations, whether it takes 10 years or more, those perpetrators may be held accountable for their actions.
It's good to know these criminals are more likely to face the consequences of their actions.

Lots of questions after attack
WTOP's Hank Silverberg reports
WASHINGTON - Prince William County police are looking for a suspect who reportedly grabbed a 12-year-old girl while she was asleep in a Woodbridge, Va., home.
A woman told police that her daughter was asleep in a bedroom when she awoke to a man grabbing her through an open window. When the girl screamed, the man left the scene on foot.
Police responded to the home, in the 1400 block of Horner Road, shortly after 3 a.m. on Sunday.
Police say no property was taken and no one was injured.
Police used a K-9 to search the area for the suspect. The girl was unable to provide a description other than the suspect was a black male.
Anyone with information relating to this case is asked to call Crime Solvers at 703- 670-3700 or 1-866-411-TIPS. Callers do not have to give their name, just the information. Callers could earn up to a $1,000 cash reward.

Turkish Cypriots fear implications of Cyprus EU presidency
21.06.12 @ 09:51
BRUSSELS - While Cyprus is feverishly preparing its EU presidency starting 1 July, Turkish Cypriots from the isolated northern part of the island fear that Nicosia's international role will entrench divisions between the two sides.
"There is both exhaustion and the need for change in the Cyprus talks," says Osman Ertug, a spokesperson for the Turkish Cypriot community. "There is hardly any subject that has not been discussed and rediscussed."
He admits there is "no organic link" between Cyprus taking on the day-to-day running of the EU for the next six months and the Cyprus question, but suggests the developmwnt will cement the status quo.
"It will boost the self-confidence of the other side," says Ertug.
Ertug's appeal - made at the European Policy Centre think-tank on Tuesday (19 June) - comes eight years after Cyprus entered the EU as an island divided between Greek Cypriots in the south and Turkish Cypriots in the north.
The island has been split since 1974 after Turkey invaded following a Greek-backed coup.
Negotiations to reconcile both sides - include the latest round to create a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation - have outlasted the political lives of six United National secretary generals, six Greek Cypriot leaders and three Turkish Cypriot leaders.
Northern Cyprus, on a third of the territory and with about 20 percent of the 1 million population, is formally recognised only by Ankara.
It smarts under its relative economic and political isolation. EU law is suspended in the territory. There are no direct flights to the area. And a European Commission pledge to enact direct trade between the EU and the north is going nowhere.
Turkey - which has resettled more Turkish citizens to northern Cyprus than there were original Turkish-origin natives - also maintains at least 30,000 thousands troops in the northern part.
Ertug called on the EU to exert pressure on Cyprus to tackle the issue, claiming that Greek Cypriots have been dragging their feet in UN-negotiated talks.
"We are in the European Union but we are not. We are Europeans but we are not," he said.
EU officials, for their part, note that the commission has no leverage to exert pressure on Cyprus on the issue.
But enlargement commissioner Stefan Fuele says that Turkish Cypriot fears about Cyprus' EU presidency are misplaced.
Cyprus' presidency will make other EU states "more aware of the situation on the island. They will better understand the challenges faced by a de facto divided member state," said the commissioner ahead of this week's visit to the island.
"This should inject a new sense of urgency to solve the Cyprus problem," he added.
Cyprus officials, keen for their six month presidency stint to show that the island is more than its protracted division, resent both Ertug's timing and his words.
"It's a pity they are returning to this rhetoric just ahead of the presidency. They are trying to poison the presidency," said Nikos Christodoulides, spokesperson of the Cyprus representation in Brussels.
Meanwhile, longtime watchers of the problem believe negotiations - stuck on myriad issues including property rights and security - will stay off the agenda until after the presidency and after the Greek Cypriot elections next year.
Amanda Paul from the European Policy Centre agrees that the "Greek Cypriots have been going at a slower pace" than the Turkish Cypriots want.
But a real move is needed from one of the players to give the talks impetus.
"Ideally, Turkey should abide by its obligations and open its airspace and ports to Greek Cypriots," Paul said.
"People are saying: 'Why can't you open a port?' Really, it's not a big deal. It's not going to change our economic situation or harm us. It's a matter of principle," Turkey's EU ambassador, Selim Yenel, told this website.
"If it's annoying, let's have an annoyance, so that people are aware there is a situation going on."

Yup, there it is, in its full glory. The image was posted in an update on Ouya's Kickstarter page, and they also showed us a look at how the Ouya itself is assembled, showing off how simple it is.
The device itself appears to be very straightforward in its construction. It's also interesting that the controller has a round touch pad in the center, on top of a similar button and stick layout to the Xbox 360 controller. The D-pad looks like it might be similar to the widely loathed D-pad for the 360 controller as well, but we can't know for sure until we actually get our hands on it.

Catalina is pretty. I do think of the island and not the salad dressing, but that shouldn't stop you from using the name. It is funny because my DH and I went to Catalina island for our honeymoon, so it has a special significance to me as well. I think it is a pretty choice.

Australasia & Pacific Islands
A collection of islands ranging in size from continentally colossal Australia to pinpricks in the vast Pacific Ocean, and land masses of all shapes and sizes in between. No other region on earth is so intrinsically defined by the ocean that surrounds it.
Lots of possibilities for Australia & Pacific diving
Of the constituent countries, Australia and New Zealand have a particular affinity for UK-based travellers, many of whom might have visited before, complete with a backpack and boundless energy on a year-off. The last decade has seen a sudden influx of sophisticated new hotels and lodges and while these may not work on a backpack budget, they fit the bill perfectly for the more discerning traveller.
Further east still, Fiji and French Polynesia are close to the perfect desert island destinations, complete with white sand beaches, lush mountainous interiors and crystal clear waters. The problem? The sheer logistics of getting there, and a huge choice of accommodation to wade through to find the place that's right for you. Find the right place though, and the trip will be well worth the effort.
World class shark diving, wreck diving and more
This is a region near the top of every diver's hitlist whether it be for the sharks of Bora Bora and Rangiroa, the coral of the outer Great Barrier Reef or the wrecks of Chuuk Lagoon. Here at Original Diving we have travelled the region extensively to find the very best places to stay where you can get to experience the wonders of this far away part of the world both above and below the waves.

#39 to #8 - moofinbanana (05/06/2013) [-]If people find it "fun" to sit in a corner and just shoot anybody they see, that's fine for them. If somebody is running around, quick scoping and having "fun", that's fine for them. I'll just be running around with a Assault Shield trying to have "fun" myself.
#35 to #8 - sirbutterballs (05/06/2013) [-]It's not just the campers. It's also the ***** who run around. You can't stop because those run 'n gunners will **** you and you can't run around because the campers will rip you a new one from the other side of the map. The only way of killing them is with teamwork and unless you've got good friends in the match the likeliness of that happening are zero. MFW this happens
#144 to #50 - sloot (05/06/2013) [-]
Im just saying... I play more hardcore games where being a camper does absolutely nothing for you. In gears for example it comes down to out dodging your opponent and being perfect at landing all of your shots. 3 guys could flank you from different directions and if you have the skill your could clutch all three of them because you are better... It is the kind of game where someone bad at the game could play you to 20 and might only kill you once... It isn't about who sees who first and lands shots anywhere.
#22 to #20 - yunonomynameeh (05/06/2013) [-]
I think it's funny the way everyone runs around period, it wasn't like that when it first come out on PS3 -everyone played like they were afraid of death, like they were actually in a warzone. By the next one everyone was playing it like it was Halo, just running around, jumping and shooting -paying attention to nothing but kill counts and points.
#24 to #22 - masdercheef ONLINE (05/06/2013) [-]
I actually find that people still have some sense in games like Battlefield. In Halo, at least, it makes sense to go running around for kills because you can. However, in Battlefield, people generally tend to use cover, move as a squad (and not in the open) or not even move, just fortify one location. And then there are tank squads that just absolutely wreck whatever they point at. Because they're doing it right.

The amount of harm ND has done to the Catholic Church and to individual Catholics is immeasurable. Sorry, but I can't support ND in any way, shape or forn until they one again become a truly Catholic university, or at least drop the charade and declare themselves to be secular.
It most certainly does. It is the same university. Football and other sports brings a significant amount of money to the school. A sharp drop in football revenue along with a corresponding expression of the reason for the sports fans discontent would most certainly get the administration's attention.
Planned Parenthood contributes a lot to the economy. Do we give them a pass, too?
They are participating in one of the HHS mandate suits? Does this offset the scandal caused by giving Obama an honorary degree as he was assaulting the Catholic faith. Of allowing the Vagina Monologues to be performed on campus multiple times? Or the Queer Film Festival? Of decades of allowing professors to teach heresy, including Fr. Richard McBrien, who had his textbook condemned for heresy?
If none of those are direct enough, how about the various football players that have been arrested for various offenses in recent years? Or the sexual assault complaint against a football player that wasn't even investigated by the campus police until 9 days after it was reported -- several days after the victim had committed suicide?
Catholic institutions should be especially vigilant about avoiding scandal and the appearance of impropriety, not ignoring and even promoting it.

Arkansas Tourism Revenue Up As Governor's Conference Meets in Little Rock
Posted 3/7/2011 07:22 am
Updated 2 years ago
Revenue from Arkansas' 2 percent sales tax on tourism-related services, such as lodging, marina rentals and admission fees to tourism attractions, was up 2.3 percent in 2010 compared with 2009, according to the Arkansas Department of Parks & Tourism.
"We're seeing business coming back," said Joe David Rice, tourism director for the Parks & Tourism Department.
Rice said the last half of 2010 was strong, which made up for the "pretty miserable" first half of the year. Convention business and the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico helped boost Arkansas' tourism numbers.
Still, last year's revenue of $11.7 million from the tourism tax was off from the high of $11.86 million in 2008.
The annual conference, which takes place this year at The Peabody-Little Rock, runs through Tuesday. It is the largest in-state meeting of travel and tourism professionals, bringing in professionals in attractions, destinations, accommodations, and chambers and convention & visitors bureau officials.

Find a Conversation

So I heard a lot of chanting at school yesterday about tomorrow (today) being pay day, Woot! Ha, That doesn't mean a lot to me but some of those teachers make good money and b/w that and the slip ins about money in a couple threads here I thought a thread would be fun..
How often are you/your DH paid
Do you discuss finances with your children? To what extent?
Are you a spender or a saver
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 11:32pm
] Yes you said your husband is a pastor. A jack of all trades LOL Travels and doesn't have time for you. You can say your a sahp but you work and don't get paid. You collect rent, deposit it and do repairs. People do that for a living LOL. It's a ft paying job for every one but you.</p>
All you "ladies" are so horrible to each other. Why would you treat another woman that way?
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 11:07pm
I've never said my husband is a pastor. I have said he works 60-80 hrs a week as a financial advisor. How exactly could he juggle that and ministry is a bit beyond my scope of understanding. We are involved in church. But I'm not sure at all how that pertains to the debate at hand...-Yes you said your husband is a pastor. A jack of all trades LOL Travels and doesn't have time for you. You can say your a sahp but you work and don't get paid. You collect rent, deposit it and do repairs. People do that for a living LOL. It's a ft paying job for every one but you.

Ges said: . Dh and I both put in 6% with a 6% match from our employer.
Regina, it's 12% of their current income, not 25%. Which is excellent! (But math is math)-I heard it was 3000% LOL. Love the internet. Every thing is rosy.
|Sat, 03-23-2013 - 10:41pm
R-With your company match, that's almost 25% of your current income. You are the type of clients he likes.--And never gets LOL. Financial planners only help people in debt and clean up their messes. There's no money there. People with money invest on their own because they can or they degreed professionals who invest. Financial planners don't invest. They're a last resort before bankruptcy

Because people like you who don't get it make it easier for those of us who do. That's why. And you proved you don't get it when you said you deduct your mortgage from your taxes. B/c if you're deducting your mortgage from your taxes, the IRS is going to want to have a word with you. And your CPAs...
It's like the proverbial candy from a baby, G-money. - No one ever got rich being a financial advisor or planner. They help people in debt with no money to pay. Another words CPAs have a skill for people with money.

Navigate The Style Guy's Wisdom by Topic:
Socks & Underwear
Underwear that looks good under fitted pants
I recently gave up most of my boxer shorts and traded them in for briefs since, given the current style, most of my jeans and pants are low-rise and fitted. Boxer shorts didnt work because there was too much material sticking out the top of the pants. (I actually went to a boys school where the wedgie was rumored to have been invented.) I like the way the briefs look, but several of the new no show styles end up giving me some major wedgie action. Continually adjusting my seat is not the look I desire. Any suggestions for styles or brands that work well under fitted pants?
Ah, the wedgie! If you mean that your alma mater was actually the scene of its invention, please advise. I was under the impression that this initiatory form of assault dates back several thousand years to the ancient prep schools of Sodom. As for the design-induced auto-wedgie, the only way to prevent it is to wear underwear and trousers that fit properly. Not only are excessively tight pants uncomfortable and déclassé, they can also restrict ones running ability, which may prove problematic when encountering drunken frat-holes with wedgies on their minds. High-minded individuals, or those who find adjusting their asses in public to be ungentlemanly, should wear normal-rise jeans and regular briefsslim-fit boxers are also an option. Please advise where you traded in your boxer shorts. I have several pairs I would like to replace and dont know of any retailers with such a program.

Customer Reviews for Wintergreen - True
- Lovely scent of wintergreen, pretty pink oil... Review by bergamotpinenut
- I am very glad that E.B. carries this oil. I understand that some companies consider this too powerful to sell, but if you know what you are dealing with, a sort of liquid aspirin, you can responsibly dilute it and use it safely as an effective pain reliever. You just have to make sure you don't use it on a large area of the body or in a high concentration with great frequency. I personally love the scent and appreciate the pretty reddish color of the oil. I do find it can be irritating to skin, but I have extremely sensitive skin. Even with my sensitive skin I use it once in a while, just make sure I it is a minor component in my blends. I really wish I could slather it on as I love the smell of wintergreen but even with my restrictions it is still a useful and pleasant oil. (Posted on 8/29/14)

Entry-level Expectancies
posted October 14, 2013 9:04 AM by Sarah Barton
I spent some time with my brother on Sunday afternoon, and we were talking about school, jobs, life, and all that fun stuff. My brother just turned 22 and will graduate college in May. He must be living the life, right? One and a half more semesters of partying, hanging out with friends, partying, sleeping in, and partying. I can assure you that he has the partying part covered, but what is creeping closer and closer to the forefront of his mind is getting a job. Ugh...total buzz kill.
The good news is that my brother is way ahead of where I was at this point during my senior year of college. He acknowledged that he isn't sure what he wants to do, and said he's having a hard time finding "entry-level" positions. (My response: Do those even exist anymore?) Compare that to when I was 22 and about to graduate college: I was positive that I wanted to go into publishing, and getting a job would be no problem. I could not have been more naïve or wrong. Fortunately for him, his job-related reality check is hitting much sooner than mine did; fortunately for me, I learned my lesson and have had job applications on my mind since September.
It is far too easy to get caught up in the "woulda, coulda, shoulda" when it comes to school. My brother has not even graduated yet, but he already said that he would choose a different major if he had the opportunity to do it over again. For me, college was a time of self-exploration, while GSLIS has been all about professional growth. My GSLIS mindset is completely different than my college one, and thus far my personal and professional development reflect that. I feel like I will reemerge into the working world as an improved version of my bachelor's degree-holding self.
That said, don't apply to an advanced degree program in the library, or any other, field solely to look more desirable to employers. The fiscal and time requirements are too demanding to be squandered on something that you are not at least 95% sure about. (Note: This is not meant to suggest that I have everything all figured out, but I think I'm gradually getting there...maybe.) When it comes to your career aspirations, take advantage of reality checks and "aha!" moments when they occur, as those will encourage and motivate you to pursue your desired career path. I was oblivious to those moments in college, but am now quite aware of them as I once again seek an entry-level position (I'm hoping they still exist!), albeit this time with a master's degree.

Thu, Nov 08, 2012
There's no doubt about it, air travel is expensive and likely to continue to increase in the future. But an enterprising freelance travel writer and blogger has found an innovative way to get around the country which takes a page out of the books of budget-minded travelers of the past.
Amber Nolan has been bumming rides on private airplanes since last summer, according to a story appearing on Today.com, a website associated with the Today Show. The 28-year-old says that "there's a wonderful community of pilots out there who enjoy sharing their love of flying with people."
Nolan has traveled to 12 states since starting her journey about 12 weeks ago, and admits it's sometimes difficult to catch that next flight. While waiting to "thumb" the next ride, she says she spends her time blogging at JetHiking.com and sightseeing.
Nolan reportedly did her research, learing about aviation and contacting pilots on online forums. She connected with a pilot on an aviation ride-sharing site who helped her plan her strategy and get her started. While the site is called "JetHiking," she travels mostly on GA airplanes with private pilots, and says that she's only chipped in for gas once so far.
Nolan says she is very careful about the pilots with whom she hitches a ride. She sends 'N' numbers to her family, and generally flies with pilots who file a flight plan. "My family and friends always know where the plane is," she told Today.
What is not clear is how she's supporting herself between rides, as the blog does not appear to contain any advertising. But it does indicate that she has attracted the attention of television producers at PBS ... and a 13 installment reality show is in pre-production.
