Course Information
The university offers about one hundred degree programs with a wide range of courses within its seven Faculties of Humanities, Natural Sciences, Medicine, Law, Catholic and Protestant Theology and Agriculture. International students can choose from all courses offered by the university as well as from classes offered by the International Office. In general, the language of instruction is German, however, there are also classes taught in English. The flexible program structure and the different course offerings present students with a tailor-made study abroad program.
Academic Advising and Course Registration
Students choose their courses before the semester starts and sign up for no less than 12 and no more than 18 hours per week. Your performance during the orientation course will directly influence what kind of classes you will take during the semester. During the last week of orientation we will discuss your choices with you and help you registering for classes.
Course Recommendations
Your performance during orientation will result in recommendations on what kind of courses you should take during the semester. A list will be emailed to you at the end of orientation. Please follow these recommendations or talk to Mr. Gerkhausen if you have any questions.
Course Types
Depending on their knowledge of German, international students can choose from classes offered by the International Office and university courses.
1. The International Office offers German language classes on different levels as well as topical courses from areas of German culture, media, politics and history. For more Information, please click here
2. The course catalogue of the university offers "seminars" and "lectures". Classes are generally held in German, some are taught in English. You can find information on university classes and the online course catalogue here
Course Registration and Schedule
During the last week of the orientation course you should choose and sign up for classes. Based on the teachers' recommendations and your interests, you can plan your provisional schedule. During our advising sessions, you should then discuss your choices and schedule with us.
You can register online for International Office courses shortly before the beginning of each semester. For the winter semester 2014: as of September 30 (2.00 p.m.) - October 6, 2014 (1.00 p.m.) and from October 8 (9.00 a.m.) - October 12, 2014! These courses will start on October 7. In order to register for the university classes, you need to contact the respective professors directly during their office hours or via e mail. more
In the beginning of the semester you will receive a so-called "Belegbogen". On this form you need to indicate all classes you are taking during the semester (classes at the International Office and the "orientation course" as well as classes at the university ). Please fill in this form completely and e-mail it to Martina Stephan until October 31, 2014 (firstname.lastname@example.com)
You have to let us know about changes in your schedule and if you want to drop a class or audit it instead of taking an exam at the end of the semester up until November 14, 2014. Please send an e-mail to Martina Stephan.

The Novohradské Mountains lie on the Czech-Austrian border.
On the Czech side you can climb three peaks over 1000 meters above sea level: Kamenec (1072 m), Myslivna (1040 m) and Vysoka (1034 m). Hiking and nature trails will carefully guide you through the landscape, which is one of the best preserved in the country. Worth seeing is the oldest European nature reserve, the Hojnovodský and Žofín Forest, and the observation point on Kraví Mountain (953 m) that looks out over the pilgrimage site of Dobrá Voda (Good Water).

This is the first time I've come across Tornado Rider, and I've got to say, I'm not quite sure what to make of them. They take some weirder punk/new wave stuff like the sounds of Oingo Boingo and Gogol Bordello and mix it with a metal and rock sound. I can't quite tell if they're attempting to make fun of metal or if they're just super nerds. It's really a conflicting thing, not knowing if you should really like or hate a band. Whatever they're doing they seem like they've having fun so you've gotta give them that. Their Jark Matter album was put out by Silver Sporcket Bicycle Club back in October; it's a pretty nice package you get here. The CD pack has a map of the band's mystical land of sneth, has a set of 6 post-cards, pin, lyrics and an original story by eggleston. If you enjoy the band this is a sweet deal here, if you don't, you've still got to give them props for the nice package they've put together. This is one of the few times that I can't really say if you'll like this band or not but if you're into weird punk/new wave/rock you should at least give these guys a try.

- Re: Opinions, plz? Overly paranoid, or justifiably...
How would you guys react to this situation?
I was at a close friend's house for an informal get-together/dinner party. I had my two girls with me ages 7 and 10. My friend has a large house and she has taken in another woman and her 9 year old son temporarily. I know this woman and her son, but more like an acquaintance.
These are the only three kids there, so of course they were playing together in his room. But they were being rather wild, which Im not comfortable with. I could hear them jumping on the bed, etc
Then, they turn the light off in the room and close the door. Im not ok with this so I go in and tell them the light needs to be on and the door open. Then, the boys mother comes up to me and says "actually, they're just playing a game. its kind of fun, really. I play it with him all the time. We turn off the light and hide..." blah blah blah
Grudgingly, I say ok, but they still need to keep the door open. The boy argues with me that that will ruin the game because then it wont be dark. The mother is standing there agreeing with him! What was i supposed to do? So finally they agreed to keep it open a crack, and i decide that I'll just continue to pop in on them frequently.
The "game" continues but he keeps closing the door and turning off the light. Then I hear whispering and giggling so I went to go back in and he locked the door! I about lost it. I said "why is this door locked?!" Im not ok with that, open the door and dont do that again. His mom is right there, doing nothing. Saying nothing.
I finally told my girls that they either needed to find a new game to play or they would have to come out in the living room with me. Which was hard, because this boy totally disregarding the fact that the girls arent supposed to be playing and hes continuing to ask them to come play, or trying to involve them in some game or another.
It was extremely awkward since they live there and his mom didnt seem to care and didnt see anyhting wrong with it. I cant tell someone else's kid what to do, but what kind of a kid does that? Disregards what the parent says and just goes ahead and askes the girls to play?!
What would you have done? Should I have just trusted that the boys mom is well aware of what they're doing and just let them play? should I have told the boy not to involve them anymore??
I think you did the right thing. I am uncomfortable with doors shut and definitely lights out. I had a similar thing happen where an older girl that I didn't know ( her mom was friends with the owner of the house that is my friend ) The girl kept shutting and locking the door. I first told her she needed to keep the door open, when she ignored me, I went in and told my son he needed to come out and find something else to do.
You're right, you can't make someone elses child follow your rules and you also can't be as strict, imo, as you would be in your own home. I think it sets a good example what you did, even if it made your children unhappy to not play the game. You stood up for what you feel is safe, I think that's a good message to send.
I'm a little freaked out that the boys mother couldn't understand why that would be uncomfortable for you.

mrcoop, got any new vids of your progress? You must be murdering your streets by now after seeing what you were putting on them in a matter of days bro. The quality of your laybacks prompted me to work on mine and in two weeks I've upped my game on those a ton.
A bunch of you cats over the months have talked about when you reach this critical point of surfing progress you now start to get A LOT better very quickly. That's recently happened with my Carver skills. The best part is that the more skilled you get on the Carver, the more of a surfboard feel it becomes in all ways. Would you guys say the key to surfing progress is being able to find the speed in the wave and use it to full benefit? Because that's what I would have to point to as the impetus for my Carver improvements as of late - I'm creating, conserving, and not destroying (by zig-zag/tic-tac) my speed and energy which therefore allows me to make a 10 degree incline of smoother pave serve as a clean chest-high wave.
I can't get enough of it. Between quick lunch breaks from working during the day then my evening pave rip then my late night clear street sesh, I get about 2-4 hours a day back in EMass and that's been in 12-32 degrees for months. When I'm out west, I don't stop. The swell here has been less than impressive the last several days, so I've just hammered the Carver endlessly. I'm talking 8 hours on Saturday total including 5.5 straight at Honeyton. Then on Sunday surfed for 3 and ripped pave I think for 5. And hard the whole time too, not this "cruising" crap. Pumping for full speed, then treating the street like it's sections and then hacking multiple maneuvers on it and repeat the other way.
If there's an equivalent of throwing buckets on pavement, then I'm heaving gravel by the ton during sessions now. Every street or lot or post or bench is a wave, section, obstacle, and purposeful instrument in my surf training. I've really loosened up the whole body during pumps and maneuvers on the pave and that single-handedly gave me some of my most fluent and controlled wave rides ever out on the water on Sunday. Staying loose throughout the whole takeoff and drop, then banging down the line stat, then finding speed to make the section and complete the section then ride off the shoulder when the wave ends. Simple rides to full completion with smoother execution throughout is something new to me.
I've always known that more skillful movement patterns actually contain less movement and tension than less skillfully executions of the same movement patterns. However, I'm finally feeling seamless at all times on the Carver and now that's transferring to some seamlessness on the wave.
Most notable changes as of late: greater compression/extension/re-compression and reliance on changing levels and height throughout a ride and maneuvers, sending my speed on a linear path at all times towards where I want to go rather than zig-zagging (what onlookers would call "wiggling" when you're not up to speed on the Carver yet), improved arm placement and movement prior to and throughout maneuvers front and back, weighting on front foot for drive, weighting on rail strategically rather than excessively (transferring weight to flatter ball of foot rather than side of foot than I'm turning, snapping, or trimming towards), bending back knee down and inward towards front leg when transferring weight and pivoting on instep/arch of back foot rather than always keeping it flat, and finally, throwing the whole body into movements fully without holding back.
It's purposeful time on the pave that elevates your Carver (and therefore surf!) game just like it's purposeful time in the water for surfing. Find smoother pave, hit banks and slight ramps, throw snaps around obstacles into tail slides, and basically make the concrete/asphalt environment your bish. Go HAM the whole time, every time. There's no other way. I don't care how good you get either - if you don't eat schitt or at least have to do a hard runoff once or more in a session you're not gonna end that sesh a better charger.
NOTE: Experiment with varying tensions in the spring bolt on the C7. This will have everything to do with the hold/looseness continuum not only on power moves but also in your generation of power for those moves during your pumps and trims. Don't go too long either without re-checking just how tight or loose you have it. I keep mine loose as hell on the 34" Green Room but gave it a twist again finally two nights ago and damn did that make all the difference. Know your gear and make the board an extension of your body. Zen, bro.

In "Virtue Ethics," a Tapestry of Faith program
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for our own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. — Marie Curie, scientist
IN TODAY'S WORKSHOP... we talked about the virtue of responsibility and the ever-widening circle of whom and what we are responsible to and for. We talked about personal responsibility, responsibility at home and school, and responsibility for the care of the planet. We explored the complexities of making good choices, including how to balance feelings of responsibility.
Today's Quote
Marie Curie says we have a particular duty to people "to whom we think we can be most useful." Could this guideline help you decide where to spend your socially responsible coinage? Think about the ways you give to society now. Are you using your gifts and talents in the most helpful way?
Personal Responsibility
Did You Know... ?
Dorothy Day (1897-1980) was a crusader for justice. This radical Catholic reformer started the Catholic Worker Movement and has been nominated for sainthood. One of her most famous sayings is included in Singing the Living Tradition, our Unitarian Universalist hymnbook:
People say, what is the sense of our small effort.
They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time.
A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that.
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless.
There's too much work to do.

VERY nice! It is strong, but for me, that's a good thing.........I can actually smell it! AND, it lasts a super long time(almost unheard of with so many other lotions)! It isn't very moisturizing, as it's a light lotion(not sticky), but the lasting scent makes it worth it! I've even applied a fragrance over this and all I can smell is the lotion. GOOD STUFF! Be nice if a powder came with it. Also, I don't get "old lady" with this as some others had mentioned. For me, it's a sweet and creamy amber. Very pretty and soothing.
This is one of my favorites from the Victoriria Secret Garden Collection: I have been using it more time than Vanilla Scent. I have tried other scents from this collection but this one is my staple lotion scent. I feel spoil every time I put this lotion in my legs and arms. It doubles in my case as a fragrance which is good. It moisturize the skin does not let it feel stick or greasy. Is softly scent but this scent can carry on your skin for a bit more than an hour. So if you layer it with the gel, body splash and edt you are set for at least a good 4 hours.
It has some vanilla and musk touches in this lotion.
More reviews by MelissaIsTheBest
I use this lotion in place of perfume. Smells great. It doesn't moisturize wonderfully, but it's not one of those lotions that leaves you feeling dry due to the chemicals it is made with.
Love this scent!
got the mini bottle of this lotion while waiting to check out. I like this, but it's so strong/concentrated that i can't say I love it. It's a nice foody vanilla, will probably repurchase if I can find a way to tone this scent down a bit. Also, this lotion absorbs nicely & leaves my hands & legs super soft. The best "secret garden" scent imo.
I love Victoria's Secret Lotions! This one goes on smooth, doesn't leave a residue, and it smells delicious! It's a black cherry, creme anglaise and sandalwood scent, I like it because it has a little bit of a musk scent, but not too bad. I like a variety of scents that I can change out daily, and this one I really liked the scent, but I can't really explain why, it just smells good! I got in in a great deal mix and match six products in this line for $30 plus one free product! So I got 7 products for $30! They always have great deals!
I bought this lotion a few years ago during one of their semi-annual sales. I am the bona fide Vanilla queen. Anything and everything Vanilla is what I gravitate to. But this was purchased during one of those awful "I really should try some new things" moments. You know, the kind of moment where for whatever reason you neglect whatever it is you KNOW you love and you KNOW works for you in order to give some random thing a shot that you instinctively know you won't like as much. Anyway, I bought this and was pleasantly suprised that I wasn't completely repulsed by it. I would even say it smells nice. I found it warm smelling and slightly comforting. Slightly. There's a note in this that is just a little too heady. It's a bit cloying after a while. It's kind of reminiscent of Caramel, a sickeningly sweet, cavity inducing caramel. I've only used the lotion but I would imagine that a spray or EDT version of this would just be too much. I've owned this for well over two years and it's what I use whenever I run out of my regular lotion. I still have roughly a quarter of the product left to go. I give it 3 lippies for its endurance, meaning because I still own it. Everything else I bought on that fateful day, I've since given away to my nieces. This certainly was the best of the worst. I wouldn't wear it out because it's not what I want to smell like in public.
More reviews by winddancer1323
LOVE this scent. It is so warm and comforting, but sexy at the same time. Definitely a cold weather scent, which is great, because its also very moisturizing. I have never gotten close to a guy who didn't comment on how wonderful I smelled when wearing this!!
This is my all-time favorite fragrance. I get so many compliments in the 5+ years I've been wearing it. It is stong smelling so my solution is to "cut" it with an unscented lotions such as Eucerin to make sure it's not too overpowering.
This is a great scent and with the lotion you won't need any additional perfume. I like every variety of the body lotions I have tried and I can't wait for it to go on sale those few times a year.
If you don't like sweet fruity scents but prefer a sexy, musky perfume, give this one a try. I hope VS never discontinues this line; it is infinitely better than as of the other smelly VS Garden scents.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love the smell of this lotion! I use it on my hands and arms in the morning before I go to work and can still smell it when I wash my face at night! And I have to wash my hands at work frequently so that's pretty good.

Remotes via IP
In the January Trends in Technology I discussed the difference between TDM and IP in the context of a station's STL system. I asserted that with a LAN extension to the transmitter site or even a WAN with known and controllable characteristics it made sense to consider IP for an STL system (most certainly for backup systems). It may seem logical to apply the same thought to a remote broadcast, but remote broadcasting is really a different ball game. The nature of remote broadcasts is that they are always somewhat risky. Everyone knows that you are walking on a tightrope without a net below. We are all willing to accept a certain amount of risk when it comes to executing a remote; indeed, when you pull it off against the odds, it makes the winning result that much sweeter.
The means by which you could carry out a remote broadcast used to be fairly limited. You could contact the telephone provider to see if it could drop a broadcast loop at the proposed location. Whether they could or not was often predicated on whether or not there was enough time to do so. If the line was dropped in time, the results could be good (if you got a good installer) or they could be not so good, for a variety of reasons.
If you were lucky enough to have a licensed RPU channel and the proper equipment, then likely you could pull off remotes fairly easily, though quite often the audio quality wasn't that great. A "remote" really sounded like it was remote, in most cases. Interference from other users of the shared radio channels was always the wildcard to be wary of.
In the early 1990s, when ISDN started to see widespread use, the ordering issues were similar. The telephone provider had to be able to actually deliver ISDN at the proposed site, and there had to be enough time before the remote date to get the line installed and tested. The good thing about ISDN is that (assuming you have a good connection) you know what audio quality to expect ahead of time. Because ISDN provides a full-duplex connection, mix-minus and talkback could be provided to the remote site too, which was a nice improvement in functionality.
Current limitations
At my station, we use ISDN frequently for remotes, but I know the future of remote broadcasting is wrapped up in the almost ubiquitous nature of the Internet. We don't make use of RPU, and I have found most programmers have been spoiled by the audio quality we get with ISDN codecs. The audio quality of RPU has become unacceptable in most cases. We're preparing ourselves for the inevitability of using the Internet for remotes, and you probably should as well.
Using the Internet for remotes, though, really represents a paradigm shift. Up to this point, the means by which audio was sent back to the station from the remote site was yours and yours alone (with the exception of those shared RPU frequencies). The audio quality was a function of the bandwidth - and the bandwidth was known ahead of time. Now, in making use of an Internet connection, you will contend with an unknown number of users, each of who will occupy varying amounts of bandwidth at random times, all through a pipeline with a fixed maximum bandwidth for its shared users. Sounds a little scary, but not surprisingly, many manufacturers of broadcast remote equipment have studied and attacked the problems associated with this shared usage successfully. Let's examine some of those problems.
When contending with other users for bandwidth in a bandwidth-limited system, there is an advantage in minimizing your own bandwidth requirements. For this reason, codecs that use the Internet for connectivity make use of many of the same audio compression schemes we've become familiar with that work over synchronous networks (such as ISDN or TDM).
However, the packet-switched nature of the Internet (as opposed to the circuit-switched nature of the PSTN) complicates the situation considerably. The data stream that represents the audio output of the encoder is broken into pieces - called packets - and each packet has additional information appended prior to its injection into the network. That packet overhead is the same on a per-packet basis, so changing the packet size affects the overall bandwidth needed to move the packets.
Say you have an audio encoder with an output of 128kb/s, or 16 kilobytes every second (16KB/s). Now, say you break that data stream into 800-byte pieces; add overhead of (for example) 100 bytes to each of the 800 bytes of payload. So, now you've generated packets that add up to 18KB/s, for an increase in required bandwidth of 12.5 percent. Or, say you break the data up in to packets of 200 bytes; add 100 bytes per packet of overhead. Now the bandwidth requirement is 24KB/s, or a 50 percent increase over the size of the encoder output by itself.
An unfortunate characteristic of the Internet is that sometimes these packets are lost along the way, for various reasons. Ideally, you would want the packet size to be large because, as I just demonstrated, the overall bandwidth requirement is reduced. However, if one of those large packets is lost, then a substantial amount of the encoded audio data will be missing at the far end.
One aspect then, considered to be important in gaining success in transmitting audio across the Internet, is the ability to alter the packet size on the sending end, so that different network conditions can be met, and the effect of dropouts can be minimized. Some of the units actually adjust the packet size dynamically based on changing network conditions. In any case, the user needs to be able to adjust the packet size so the best compromise between packet size and overall bandwidth can be met.
Inevitably, some packets will still be lost though, and there are other mechanisms designed to further minimize the negative effects of packet loss. One such method is known as forward error correction (FEC). FEC is basically the addition of redundant packets to the data stream - the idea being that these redundant bits will effectively take the place of the packets that somehow end up missing at the far end. One can easily see that the addition of too many redundant packets could possibly create a problem in and of itself with respect to network congestion. Therefore, like packet size, the amount of FEC should be adjustable by the user, to best meet network conditions.
Oh, but it doesn't end there friends. The nature of the Internet also means the packets getting to the receive end may be late, or even out of order. For an audio stream, this is obviously a problem - one addressed by way of a packet jitter buffer. This buffer stores received packets for a certain amount of time, allowing late packets to catch up; out of order packets can also be re-sequenced prior to being sent to the audio decoder. The obvious problem here is that the buffer adds delay time, generally considered bad when doing remotes. Therefore, once again, a compromise must be struck between problems in the audio caused by late or out of sequence packets, and the amount of delay that can be dealt with at the remote site.

The future, which we hold in trust for our own children, will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children. — Marian Wright Edelman
IN TODAY'S WORKSHOP... we learned about the life of one of our Canadian Unitarian ancestors, Lotta Hitschmanova. We talked about whether everyday games we play are fair, and how fairness relates to justice.
Leveling the Playing Field
Fairness Dilemmas
Remember this dilemma from today's workshop?
As part of an experiment, you are offered $100. There are two stipulations to the offer: 1) You must share it with a partner. However, you decide how much to keep and how much to share. 2 ) If your partner refuses their share, neither of you gets a penny. How much do you offer your partner? 50/50? What if the partner says, "I won't accept anything less than $90." What do you do?
This experiment was actually performed. Online (Economics vs Logic) you can read the results and many interesting questions they raised, such as "When is keeping a good reputation more important than financial self-interest?" and "How does this dilemma translate into supply-and-demand capitalism?"

Hi everyone! I'm
Andrea Bialosuknia
, a part-time student at DCC. Even though I've been attending classes here for a few years, I'm just now starting to engage with the school and campus more fully; this semester, tutoring in the WC is one of the most exciting opportunities for me to do this. I've always loved writing, both the action and process as well as what we can create through it. It means a lot to me to be able to work with other students and help them become more comfortable with their voice as writers. I know it isn't easy--I'm still working on that bit myself--but being able to give voice to our ideas is one of the most powerful skills we can learn. The Writing Center is an incredible
on-campus resource to help us in that effort, and I'm so glad to have a part in it.
"Without knowing the force of words, it is impossible to know more." - Confucius
Hello everyone, my name is Paul Christian , and I am starting my third semester this fall. I am currently in the Engineering program, and planning to transfer and finish a four-year degree, most likely at New Paltz. I moved here to New York last fall, and I really like it so far. Outside of class I enjoy traveling (new places especially), reading and scuba diving. This will be my first time working in the Writing Center, or even tutoring at all - it should be a great experience, and I am really looking forward to seeing you all in there. As a non-traditional student, I will take an extra year to finish up here at Dutchess, so hopefully I will have plenty of time to spend in the Writing Center, getting to know all of you - thanks!
Hey everyone. I am Diana Cruz , a Liberal Arts and Humanities major. I planning on transferring soon and majoring in political science. Beside school, I enjoy visiting art galleries, watching documentaries, and reading large books. I look forward to collaborating with you on your writing assignments.
Remember, "Education For a Democracy of Excellence".
Hello everyone. My name is Joshua Neil . This fall semester will be my last at DCC. I am in the General Studies program with a concentration in psychology. After DCC, I will be spending time in the Air Force to accomplish a goal of mine of serving and trying out a new life experience and challenge. I hope to also receive my bachelor's in psychology after leaving DCC. Outside of school, I enjoy traveling, photography, reading and writing short stories. This will be my first time working in the Writing Center and being a tutor. I am looking forward to working in the Writing Center and getting to interact and assist you all with your writing. I will do my best to help you in whatever way to the best of my ability.
S'up world; my name is Aidan O'Callaghan and I'm a freshman at DCC in my second semester. I've loved to read and write my entire life, and have been employed at the Red Hook and Hyde Park Observers (local newspapers) as a contributing writer and journalist since late 2012. I am extremely excited to begin tutoring in the Writing Center, as I can think of nothing I'd like to do more than facilitate better writing and assist my fellow students in achieving their academic aspirations.
Hi, my name is
Zack Remling
. This is my third semester here at Dutchess Community College, and my first working in the Writing Center. It is my personal belief that all writing should be short and sweet, so I am going to be as quick as I can. I joined the Writing Center because college has brought about some great changes in my own writing over the last year. It is my impression that
working in the Writing Center will be a great chance for me to explore my own writing further, and at the same time help others find theirown style of writing. I'm decently knowledgeable in most subjects, which I feel will allow me to help any and all students that come into the Center regardless of the assignment. I am currently an LAH honors student, looking to transfer once I have gotten my degree. All in all, I hope that our time together will be both fun and productive.
Hi! My name is Joshua Tubbiola, and I'm an aviation student here at DCC. Flying airplanes is my passion and my future career, and I take great pride in saying that I'm a pilot. Guitar, piano, reading and writing are a few of my hobbies, as well as anything that involves problem solving or building. Unlike most of the students at DCC, I was home schooled: the same teacher, same classroom, same everything for twelve years, and I'm very happy that I was raised that way. In general, I love to learn anything, because I don't think you can ever know or do enough!
Tom Denton,

Edwina Gray
Teaching Lab Assistant, Writing Center Computer Lab Hi, I am usually the first face you will see when you enter the Writing Center. I've been here for about twelve years now, and each semester presents its own challenges as well as joys. I am here to share both with you. I often get questions ranging from, "Do you know what time the bus comes to the Main Mall," to "How do I create a database in Microsoft Access?" So feel free to stop by and drain every fiber of my being! Just kidding, looking forward to your visit. email@example.com
Ryan James McGuckin —Professional Tutor and Coordinator of Student Academic Persistence. Hi, my name is Ryan and here at the Writing Center I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your reading and writing questions, ideas, and observations regarding any stage of your assignment. Whether it involves drafting, revising, focusing on a few technical aspects of your writing, or anything that involves the texts and materials for your class, I am looking forward to meeting with you. Beside my time in the Writing Center, I am also an English PhD student in the Rhetoric, Writing, and Culture concentration at Louisiana State University. My research involves looking at language and communication as a series of designed and managed networks, found in a variety of mediums, such as the fine and performing arts, architecture, photography, film, and writing. These interests guide my university teaching and service as well as the work I do here at the Writing Center.

Switzerland tops Global Retirement Index, but survey shows retirement security is weakening worldwide.
While Northern European countries continue to provide the most favorable economic and social conditions for retirees, growing government debt and private pension liabilities are challenging retirement security in most developed nations. Under these conditions, individuals are likely to bear a greater responsibility for retirement savings and income. According to Natixis Global Asset Management CEO for The Americas and Asia, John T. Hailer, investors will need to adopt a more risk conscious view of long-term investing and set personal measures of portfolio performance.

Your approach is great, Jonathan.
The arguments we make against faith fall flat on their ears just as their arguments fall flat with us. It's like we are not speaking the same language.
If we listen politely, ask questions (politely), then we give them the opportunity to notice that their arguments are not airtight.
A double "amen" to your Christian friendships!!
Believers absolutely need atheist friends.
Let's be gentle, folks!
I agree with your comments Mark and Jonathan.
A gentle approach - sow the seeds of Freethought.
You are right that anti-theism is needed. Each person has their own role. There is a place for the militant, and for the gentle persuasion.
As for myself, there aren't a lot of venues where I have freedom of speech. Most people who I interact with are in a professional and corporate setting. The only approach that I can take is to quietly be who I am. I don't nod and agree when people express their religion. If someone asks, I tell them the truth.
Thank you for taking the high road and and standing up for truth.
How can Atheism become Anti-Theism?
There is another way atheism can become anti-Theism. I am an open athiest for last 13ys or so in Pakistani society. You perhaps have an idea about the nature of society I live in. We feel almost alienated. Even the look in the people eyes make you feel agitated. When one experiences this for so long, its natural for him to become an anti-thiest as a reaction.
As for as argumentation is concerned, usually you are talking to deaf ears. Brains instead of weighing the argument thinking of counter arguments.
I wish you luck (like that's real, lol), but I think the people who need to hear what you have to say the most are the ones who are too dumb or brainwashed to listen and understand.
I talk to new people everyday in their homes as I'm a carpet cleaner. Most are religious... but when I find out what brand of religion they are, I start pointing out all the crazy stuff the OTHERS believe.
I'm really trying as hard as I can to show them how STUPID the religions all are by comparison and not saying a word about theirs -sort of fill-in-the-blank. Hopefully I've planted a seed. These people LOSE something significant though -It's like they've been investing all their effort for years in fool's gold. And I try not to chide the old and infirm. They're set in their ways and would only suffer by tearing it away.
I'm convinced however that the Monkeys wont let go of the religious-branch until they have a better branch to grab; The ground is just to scary for them, and all their friends are holding on for dear life. I'm writting my own book on Orderism

505-06-7 Deer Cleaning
Duke Phineas arrives from the southern pasture lands.
Duchess Aileana arrives from the southern pasture lands.
Aileana smiles as she looks up to the sky even while adjusting her baby several times to nursing, "It is lovely. Can you bring me to a tree to sit by so I can nurse? Or a bench?"
Taengle is just getting set up for the deer cleaning demonstration. The rope separating the crowd from the archery area has been taken down, so people can get closer to the stone table where a rather large buck is laid upon.
"Yeah, let's go get a place over here. You able to wat..." And then, Phineas espies someone through the crowd. He immediatelyturns his back toward Taengle and lowers his voice.
Phaeton arrives from the southern pasture lands.
Bella arrives from the southern pasture lands.
Aileana looks up to her husband and blinks a few times before she looks into the crowd as well. She then nods as she reaches for his hand to squeeze it gentle, "Good night, love."
Phineas dips his head and kisses Aileana soundling on the lips, a stolen moment of affection, before he walks quickly, quickly away.
Duke Phineas returns to the main road.
There seems to be a good crowd gathering around the deer cleaning area (LOOK DEER). Taengle has a small girl with her, about six years old, from the look of it. The little girl has a small bell in her hand, and rings it. "Deer Cleaning starting!" she shouts in her high-pitched voice. "Come see the Huntress Taengle Wildwood clean and skin a deer in record time!"
Bella and Phaeton come into the area, and Bella looks a bit curiously at Phineas as he leaves. She does spot Aileana, and makes her way over. "Oh, deer cleaning. That should be interesting," she says, "Glad it's at night, so my morning sickness doesn't get to me during the demonstration."
Deer Cleaning Area(#4852Tn)
There is a large buck laid out on a large stone table. The table has a deep groove cut in it, to catch blood. Also on the table are a variety of instruments... knives, a hatchet, and fishgut string.
There are several vendors milling about the crowd, selling ale, turkey legs, funnel cakes, sausages on a stick, and the like. They are even selling some miniature bows and arrows (felt tipped) and some stuffed toys that look like deer for the children in the crowd.
Aileana smiles up to Bella as she nurses her little one, "I'm so tired, I think. Newborns are difficult, you know?"
Taengle waits a few moments more, then begins her demonstration. She has the little girl turn the page on the large notepad sitting up on the easel. The writing on it says: "Proper deer cleaning is very important, so that meat is not tainted. I will do these steps fast, but the steps will be written here." Taengle nods to the girl, who turns the page again.
The next page says, "The first step in gutting a buck is to remove the testicles. We Cut them free to where they emerge from the pelvis. Cut a circle around the anus and partly free both connecting tubes from the pelvis."
As the next demonstration begins Helena is approached by her guard and listens as he whispers something to her. His eyes are leveled on Taengle and the dead buck while his lips move near her ear. There's a brief frown followed by a shake of her head. "No, this is nothing inappropriate here," she tells him, even as she winces a little as she reads the description.
Aileana's gaze snaps to the deer demonstration or more accurately the description given, "I didn't remember the part about removing it's nuts."
Taengle picks up a large knife. It looks very sharp, and a little wicked. A flash of metal, and then the huntress is cutting, removing the testicles and cutting the circle around the anus and the connecting tubes. There is not much blood.
The little girl lifts the page again. It reads "Now, we knife point under the hide only and make one long, single incision up the belly. If you're going to mount the head, stop this incision at the bottom of the rib cage to preserve a sufficient amount of the cape for mounting. If you don't plan to mount the head, continue the incision all the way to the hollow, fleshy junction of the neck and chest cavity."
Taengle looks out at the crowd, and then nods to the girl again. She lifts the page. "Does anyone want the head? Any donations will go to charity," it reads.
Helena cannot help but look a little horrified as the cuts are made, but she tenses her jaw and clenches her teeth to still the worst of it. The offer of the head is met with raised brows in surprise. Helena makes no charitable offer this time, the target was enough.
Bella looks on, but doesn't offer to take the head, either. "Yeah, I forgot about that part too," she says to Aileana. "Nice buck though. Is that a 12-pointer?"
Aileana looks around those gathered, waiting for someone to volunteer that they want the head, but one thing she knows is that someone has to take it if it's for charity. She clears her throat and offers, "If no one else wants it, Green Fields, would of course, love it."
Taengle smiles brightly as her DUCHESS, of all people, offers to take the head. She curtseys to her, and nods. Then goes on with her demonstration, making short, repetitive strokes with her knife, to crease the skin, fat and abdominal muscle tissue. As the tissue separates, she uses her fingers to enlarge the opening. This exposes most of the organs of the lower abdomen. She then severs the diaphragm to complete the opening.
The little girl turns the page. It says: "NOTE: Do not plunge the knife through the skin. Otherwise, you'll likely pierce the intestine and spill its contents into body cavity, which could contaminate the meat."
Aileana mentally makes a note that Lin and Liam now have a new wedding gift! Who doesn't want that for a gift?
Taengle has finally gotten the cavity opened. She then changes tools... to a hatchet and a sledge hammer. She uses them to break open the pelvis bone, and is extremely careful not to pierce the intestine or bladder because the contents of either will taint the meat and make an unpleasant mess. She wedges the hatchet into the opening she's created and rocks it and twists it from side to side to open the pelvis, making it easy to remove the lower intestine and bladder.
She nods to the girl, who turns the page again. "It's very important not to knick the intestines or bladder. The bile will ruin the meat very quickly," it says.
Aileana does offer a platinum for the deer's head and then gives instruction on where to bring it.
The little girl is the one who accepts the platinum, her eyes about popping out of her head. She places it in a coin purse, and nods to the instructions. "Yes, Yer Grace!" she says, giving a cute little curtsey.
Taengle then works her way up to the viscerals... stomach, liver, kidneys and other organs in the mid abdomen. These, she removes carefully with her knife, and separates the liver from the rest. Good eatin', deer liver. Finally, she gets to the upper chest, where the heart and lungs are.
Aileana just watches the demonstration with wide eyes before she looks back down to her baby, murmuring to Bella, "I am really glad I'm not still pregnant right now."
The little girl turns the page again. It reads: "At this point, if I don't plan to mount the deer, I use a hatchet and a small sledge hammer to separate the rib cage and pelvis. I wedge the lower edge of the axe into the sternum, then pound the back of the hatchet with the sledge hammer. The force of the blows will drive the edge of the hatchet through the ribs easily. I then pull the ribs apart to enlarge the opening in the chest cavity, but am careful not to cut myself on the sharp rib edges. I would now have easy access to the lungs and heart."
But she is not doing that. Instead, she is reaching up inside the cavity, cutting them out delicately.
Bella can't help but grin at Aileana. "And hopefully, you won't be pregnant AGAIN for a good long while," she says, in a teasing tone. "I still have those herbs, you know. Just sayin'."
Aileana laughs now, "I was on herbs with this baby." She smiles down at her infant, "You know...look at her. If my herbs weren't sabotaged, I wouldn't have my little Ainsley."
Taengle carefully removes the organs, and places the lungs, heart, liver and kidneys in one pile, and the others in a different pile. She then starts on skinning the deer. Taking her hatchet, she removes the legs of the deer at the knee. Then, she makes incisions on the front side of each leg to the abdomen with her knife.
The little girl turns the page again. "Use a hatchet to sever the deer's legs at the knees. Then, use your knife to make incisions on the front side of each leg to the abdomen.
"Peel the hide away from the legs and use your knife to begin separating the hide from the carcass. Once you get a good opening, use one hand to continue peeling away the hide while your other hand continues to slice through the connective tissue between the hide and the carcass. Once you've removed a sufficient portion of the hide, gravity will help with the rest."
Bella smirks. "Well, you shouldn't have told your husband about them," she says, in a teasing tone. She turns her face to the demonstration, and watches as the girl skins the deer.
Taengle does get the skin off rather quickly and easily. Then, comes the gruesome part. She picks up a larger axe, and separates the neck from the shoulder. The deer's head falls off the table, onto a tarp that has been laid out to catch it. She nods to the girl, who turns the page again....
"I will now cut the meat out, although that will take a long time. So this concludes our demonstration. Anyone who wants free venison meat is welcome to stay and get some. Thank you for your patience and for attending."
Aileana laughs now, "Oh, he knew anyway. He...got them for me, and was kind enough to prepare my tea."
"Kind enough, huh?" says Bella. "I always knew Phineas was a sneaky bastard." She gives Aileana a playful wink. At the finish of the demonstration, she says, "What ARE you going to do with a deer head?"
Aileana chuckles now, "Support charity and give it to Lin and Liam as a wedding gift."
People start gathering around the table where the cleaned deer is. Taengle cuts out slabs of meat, and wraps them in butcher paper, handing them out to people, with a smile. The little girl comes up and gives her the coin the Duchess gave her, and then wraps up the deer head. She then signals two of the Festival workers to deliver it, as instructed.
Helena has held out until the end, watching quietly with the occasional grimace that she struggles to conceal. With a few words to her guard she nods and the pair slip back into the ground and head back into the city.
Bella looks at Aileana, a bit dumbfounded. Then she laughs. "Oh my... what a wedding gift," she says, "Do you think they'll replace our portraits hanging over the mantle in Phailin's apartment with it?"
Taengle stays and butchers the deer, giving away all the meat to the growing crowd. After that, she cleans up, and is seen 'speaking' with Baron Phaeton Forester for a time, before she heads back to the deep woods. She survived hosting two events in front of a huge crowd. Maybe she's not as reclusive as was believed.

Aimée has been painting professionally since 1999. Her work has been seen in numerous publications, featured on national television, and hangs in the collections of animal lovers all over the world, including best-selling authors, movie/TV producers, and celebrities.
Aimée's first scribbles were of bears, horses and tigers. If it had four paws and fuzzy ears, it was in her sketchbook. Or preferably on her lap. Her deep love of animals, and early interest in drawing, only grew throughout young adulthood.
After earning a Bachelor's degree in Art from California State Long Beach in 1992, Aimée continued to draw and paint on the side while she held down various day jobs. Although she sold the occasional landscape or figurative painting at local group art shows, early gallery feedback was consistent: she had talent, but was too "fickle" a painter. She was strongly encouraged to find a subject she liked enough to explore as an entire series. Or, as one gallery owner put it, "Find something that sticks in your craw." At the time, Aimée knew that landscapes weren't her artistic passion, but she wasn't sure what was. So she kept painting.
But in 1999, Aimée finally returned to a subject that deeply interested her—animals—when she was asked to paint a portrait of a friend's dog. The resulting painting lead to a successful 13 year career as a pet portrait artist, during which Aimée created over 130 custom paintings for clients all over the world. She even enjoyed a few TV appearances.
In 2012, after a successful decade of painting mostly canines, Aimée decided it was time to grow as an artist and switch gears, subject-wise. Always inspired by photography, she began poking around on photo sharing sites for unusual animals:
I was originally looking for an animal called a takin, which is a cross between a goat and an antelope. I wanted to paint something completely different, something out of my pet portrait comfort zone, and a takin fit the bill. But while doing research on that animal, I came across this stunning photo of a goat, with a long, white beard. I instantly wanted to paint it and immediately emailed the owner of the image to ask for permission to use it. He turned out to be an award-winning photographer in Austria—and, surprisingly, was kind enough to say yes. In fact he was actually excited that I chose it, which made the process even more fun…
With the Goat portrait, a new Farm Animal series was born, as well as a new process for finding inspiration: for each new painting, Aimée might review over 40,000 reference photos before she lands on one image that clicks. She then reaches out to the photographer, typically making a new friend in the process.
Being a painter requires quite a bit of solo time in the studio, so it's been a great way to connect with other artists in parts of the world I have not had a chance to visit. It feels like a mutually supportive creative community…
Aimée's intention with her current work is to elevate the animal's importance by portraying them in more human/heroic portrait style, keeping a singular focus on the animal. Her hope is that she continues to work with talented photographers around the world, and that this series encourages others to look at animals—domesticated and otherwise—as the sensitive, sentient beings they are.
When not in the studio, Aimée can be found devouring large stacks of shelter magazines and indulging her Nespresso addiction. She currently lives in Redondo Beach, California, with her husband, Scott, and their cat, Sesame.

Comparing window quotes for new construction and had a question about jambs. Anderson 400, Milgard Tuscany, and Superseal (lumber dealer really wanted to include windows but didn't have many options on the superseal) did not include jambs. When I asked one of the dealers said they often get damaged during construction and it's better to have your trim carpenters do it at the end. The Marvin integrity included jambs and that dealer said that is standard. I feel like it would be easier to make everything perfect if we installed jambs at the end. What are everyone's thoughts between the two? |
Follow-Up Postings:
SuperSeal is a lower ed vinyl offering right at the bottom along with silverline and MI . higher end vinyl would be Okna, HiMark, soft lite, gorell, sunrise. i know Okna can come with an extension jamb and im pretty sure the others do as well. |
- Posted by matt_in_ks (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 12:05
I thought the integrity would let me have a wood interior in my more public places and then all ultrex in bedrooms and such to save cost but the all ultrex ended up being more expensive since the jamb wasn't wood. Really liked the look and feel of the integrity vs. the 400. I haven't completely ruled out vinyl but I was surprised with how close the integrity cost was to the Milgard so I'm leaning towards it. Especially if I'll need to add to my trim carpenter's bill going with the no jambs. |
matt integrity is a nice window. |
- Posted by HomeSealed (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 14:54
+1. Integrity is a nice choice... If you do look further at vinyl options, look for the brands that mmarse mentioned above. Milgard is decent, but I like those others better. |
- Posted by matt_in_ks (My Page) on Wed, Nov 21, 12 at 16:08
Thanks guys, what are your thoughts on factory jambs vs. site installed? |
i order jamb extentions quite frequently and never have an issue. it makes the install less labor intensive. |
Factory jamb extensions are the way to go. Much less expensive in the end for you versus the finish carpenter installing on site. If needed, he can add some nice finishing touches like stools and aprons. |
- Posted by windowsonwashington (My Page) on Thu, Nov 22, 12 at 12:45
+1 If you can get it factory installed, it is much easier. |

There has been a lot of talk this off-season about windows. Such and such a team is trying to keep their window for contention open for another year while this team over here is not quite ready to compete. The idea of a window is any given team — the players which makes up their core — has a finite period of time which they can expect to contend for the playoffs and beyond.
The Seattle Mariners window to compete is not now.In fact it is still in the glass shop.
— DodgerSims (@DodgerSims) December 19, 2012
This concept is a decidedly middle-class problem. The Yankees window has been open since 1995. The Pirates live in a dark, windowless room into which no light or joy or hope may enter. The Royals pulled the trigger on significant trade, confounding pundits who believed their window to not yet be open. The Blue Jays overhauled their roster, emptying their farm system to move up their timeline for competitiveness from "never" to "now."
Cleveland made a significant trade a few weeks back, trading their best player to Cincinnati as well as key members of their bullpen in a three-way deal which netted the Tribe center fielder Drew Stubbs, top prospect Trevor Bauer and some bullpen detritus.
A great trade for one year of Choo but Cleveland will surely be worse in 2013 than they were in 2012. Is now the time to load up for with a big free agent buy? Cleveland sure thinks so, going all out in pursuit of hometown boy Nick Swisher.
Sure, Cleveland signed Mark Reynolds and acquired versatile players like Mike Aviles and Yan Gomes to bolster their…grip on replacement level in 2013? No matter. The Indians went all out in their dogged pursuit of Nick Swisher, wining-and-dining the free agent and plastering his face across their sizeable video scoreboard.
Not stopping with mere flattery, Cleveland stepped up their celebrity endorsement game, calling on THE Ohio State University football coach Urban Meyer among numerous other local deities in an attempt to woo the pride of Columbus (and tOSU alumnus to boot.)
While Swisher left town without signing a thing (including the cheque for his fancypants dinner on the town, we assume), Cleveland's brass remain fixated on acquiring the right fielder/designated hitter only to see him squander his remaining productive years on 90-loss clubs. From Jordan Bastian of MLB.com:
"It was great to connect with he and his wife, Joanna," Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said, "and a couple of other people that were on the visit as well. It was great to visit and spend some time with him. We had a chance to share our thoughts on the organization and where we are, and answer any questions that Nick had, as well as reconnect him with some of his Ohio roots."
Which is a fancy way of saying "we plan to offer him more years and dollars than anyone else would even dream." Bastian notes unconfirmed reports of an offer to Swisher's camp for four years and nearly $50 mil.
MLB Trade Rumors notes that, according to Jon Heyman, the Dodgers will not pursue Swisher – nor will they move Andre Ethier to make room for Swish or anyone. The Knobler reports Texas is in fact still considering signing Swisher.
Stat of the Day: Over the last two seasons, Andre Ethier has saved 10 more runs with his defense than Nick Swisher, which is approx. 1 win.
— John Dewan (@FieldingBible) December 19, 2012
Only one of the top 10 prospects in the Cleveland system figures to arrive on the scene in 2013, and that is a pitcher whose future remains uncertain as far as a role in the bullpen or rotation. Adding Trevor Bauer helps but can Nick Swisher sign for four years in Cleveland and expect, good as he is, to play on a single good team?
This offseason shows windows can slam shut or be shoved open at any time – provided you have the resources to make it happen. Cleveland doesn't have the financial might of the Dodgers or the rich prospect stores the Blue Jays leveraged into a better on-field product.
Cleveland has to wait. They don't have much choice aside from waiting on Francisco Lindor and hoping they can turn assets like Justin Masterson and Asdrubal Cabrera into something worthwhile before they exhaust their team control.
Signing Nick Swisher seems like a great PR move but the goodwill on such a move won't last forever – certainly not for four years. Cleveland ranks second-to-last in attendance by total tickets sold, average crowd and percentage of tickets sold in 2012 after ranking in the bottom sixth each of the previous four seasons.
The impulse to score PR win by bringing in the local guy is not difficult to appreciate. The (fifty) million dollar question remains – is a little more money at the gate worth losing a draft pick and paying a guy to lose? It just might be. Surely Cleveland has done the math and recognizes Swisher offers more than just power and patience. Doesn't mean it's the best plan of attack, even if it is an understandable one.

"excellent!! Made some amendments to the cake so my review mainly reflects the frosting recipe. The buttermilk gives the frosting just enough "twang" to keep it from being too sweet. I made this for a large bbq and got rave reviews. I even had a bit the next day and I think it was even better!"
"Came out great for a chocolate Easter cake. I made an almond cream cheese frosting instead of a chocolate glaze to make it more Spring-like. Very moist and the banana is definately the strongest flavor coming from the cake. Will definately make again."
"Made these yummy crackers today. I had to substitute 1/2 honey for the molasses as I ran out. The molasses flavor was strong so I probably will repeat that substitution in the future. They only needed to bake for 18 minutes or they started to go towards the dark side. I definately recommend using a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients. I measu..."
"Once corrected the recipe came out fine. Using the guide line of "a couple cups of actual peeled cooked beans" did not measure up to using an entire head of garlic. Waaaaay too much garlic. I used 3 cups of cooked beans, 1 large clove of garlic, 1/4 cup each of tahini, olive oil and 1/8 of a cup of lemon juice. Pureed in a cuisinart and then added..."
"I used chopped apple pie filling instead of the solo. Although I like the praline filling the best. I also only did a simple glaze with powdered sugar, vanilla and cream. I will definately omit the water in the recipe next time I make it again unless you want to add 8 cups of flour to get the right consistancy.I also scalded my milk and let it co..."

Welcome letter from the Head teacher, Mrs Yvonne Elliott.
As the head of Cuddington Primary School, I would like to welcome you to our website.
I arrived as the new head at Cuddington in September 2008. It's hard to believe I am now in my seventh year - time flies when you're having fun!
There is a very friendly atmosphere here at Cuddington and a caring ethos that pervades all aspects of school life. We work hard to get right that difficult balance between offering an exciting and enriched curriculum and ensuring academic success.
I have a clear and simple educational philosophy that is reflected in what goes on here at Cuddington Primary.
- We believe the education that we provide for our children should be broad, balanced and exciting.
- We believe that every child has the right to be provided with the opportunity to fulfil their academic potential, so that they can reap the rewards and benefits of being confident, enquiring and independent individuals.
- We want to see pupils who are educated to a high standard, who enthuse about the subjects they study and who want to learn more.
- We want to see pupils who can set challenging, yet realistic, targets for themselves and who are able to recognise and celebrate their own achievements and those of others.
- We want to see pupils who are caring and compassionate and able to take their place as active citizens in a multi-cultural society.
I have really enjoyed working with all the children, staff and parents so far and I look forward to continuing the shared journey with the whole school community over the coming year. It is by working together that we can make a difference to the lives of the children here in Cuddington.
Kind regards
Mrs Yvonne Elliott

you see this yet?
35+ trading veteran who developed what's being called one of the best
"core" Forex training programs just got this letter from one of his
brand new students who picked up his Forex Nitty Gritty training materials,
dove right in, and took immediate action:
an easy to follow course (Forex Nitty Gritty). Ordered it late in the evening,
watched and studied until almost 1:00 am, opened a practice account that same
morning, placed a trade by mistake and lost about 7 pips while learning the lay
of the land. When I got up that same morning my trades ended with 85 pips
profit in only a few hours. WOW! Today I had 63 pips profit, the day before
that 49 pips profit and monday 24 pips profit. Over $2,000.00 in 4 days... I
highly suggest anyone wanting to learn about the Forex market start with the
Forex Nitty Gritty course, easy to understand and easy to follow.
many thanks to you,
K., Cortez, Florida."
let's be clear: Just because Daryl cranked out $2k in 4 days does NOT mean you
will do the same. There are NO promises when it comes to trading, and anyone
making promises is LYING to you.
what the developer of this core Forex training CAN promise is that Daryl (along
with all his other Forex Nitty Gritty students - and hopefully YOU) will know
EXACTLY what to do in the Forex markets... no matter what happens... no matter
what goes on in the news... no matter what the market does...
will know what decisions to make EVERY SINGLE TIME to maximize his chances of
potential success, again & again.
That's the beauty of becoming an independent trader.
if you'd like to experience the Forex markets like Daryl does, check out the
"nuts & bolts" of the Forex Nitty Gritty training material here:
sure you read the feedback from his other students on that page - I think
you'll be excited by what you see.)

This piece is a projected slide piece consisting of a series of photographic transparencies shot at a fixed viewpoint, as documentation of a performance by the artist. The viewer sees the artist, dressed in a suit, walking backwards and forwards in a crowd of commuters. The figure of the artist appears and disappears amongst the others surrounding her, who appear similar to her. We see the artist come towards us, turn and disappear back into the crowd. This action is repeated this until we realize that she appears, in fact, to be 'inscribing' a line in the crowd. She appears to be restaging works by the Situationists as much as Richard Long, particularly his 'A Line Made by Walking' much as her activity can also be read as that of a the clockwork toy or caged animal pacing in captivity. She appears as if displaced, or within a different temporal continuum: the artist appears to be repeating the workers' daily journey but at a faster speed. Her struggles to create a space within the crowd become a deadpan parallel for artistic'struggle'. The artwork appears balanced between two states, as confined as the daily monotony of the commuters' journey and as some kind of free act hidden within monotony, but equally within its own modes of institutionalization. As a projected slide piece, the rhythm of the slides changing automatically within the projector (at a 2 second interval) adds a sense of inevitability and a machinic rhythm to the work, plus a cyclical form which enhances the meaning of the piece.

CSUN graduate student creates new search engine
One CSUN graduate student said he wanted to learn more about search engines and decided to combine all the features that every major search engine has to offer.
Md Ershad Ali Suzon, 29, who is studying for his master's in computer sciences, created Megasearches.com earlier this year.
"The primary purpose is to learn about search engines and make it useful for me and for whoever else is using it," Suzon said. "If it eventually becomes commercial, it'll be an additional benefit."
Megasearches.com is categorized so users can look for something specific, Suzon said. The site is divided into search engines such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing, but it is also by topics—including jobs, music, movies and events.
Suzon said his site is becoming more popular with people from more than 25 countries utilizing it.
"It surprised me a little bit, but in a good way," said Faisal Ahmed, a design engineer who went to Saint Cloud State University in Minnesota with Suzon.
"Being an engineer, I would like to get all my information very quickly and with this search engine, I don't have to type my search many different times. It compiles it for me," he said.
Ahmed, who has been friends with Suzon for a decade, said he helped Suzon by providing feedback of how the site can be more convenient and efficient for users.
Suggestions included how to improve the search, how it can look in terms of framing, colors and contrast, as well as inserting shortcuts.
"The main idea is no idea is too small," Ahmed said. "If you work on an idea that you believe in, it can be very big."
Ahmed said both the idea and the implementation of the site were really good.
"Ever since, he started to integrate other techniques that are common in advanced websites. He had put a lot of work into building this website," Ahmed said.
Another feature is the parallel tab search option in which a user can search a topic and compare the results on different search engines.
Arindam Khaled, 31, said the parallel tab is his favorite feature.
Khaled, who is pursuing his doctorate in computer sciences, has known Suzon since they attended Saint Cloud.
"I think it is a good thing for him because he is taking his own initiative," Khaled said. "He's one of the most dedicated persons I've seen. He's a very patient guy, very persistent and he can work hard. Failures don't scare him."
Khaled said he also helped Suzon by providing feedback when the site was in its testing stage.
Suzon said he launched the site internally last March and he kept tweaking it to ensure it worked on every browser before publicly publishing it in June.
"He has some creative ideas and this was one of his ideas," Khaled said. "I always expected he would do some web portal design and implement something that everybody could use."
Khaled said he suggested Suzon give users the option to customize the search engines they could use.
Suzon said he has also created a forum where users can sign in and provide feedback on how to improve the site.
Suzon also said it was difficult to create this site at times because he had little knowledge about the technology used in this industry.
"In this industry, there are many technologies that students are not familiar with," Suzon said. "I feel that students should be exposed to those technologies when they graduate so that they are in line with the technologies of the industry."

The answer to this may be so fundamental that I'm overlooking it so if this turns out to be a stupid question, tell me so.
I am relatively ambidextrous. Not to the point of being able to write well with my left hand but for most day to day operations, either one will do equally well. Normally I shoot right handed. That will be the normal practice but I recognize the desirability to be able to handle shooting situations with my weak hand. Doing some dry fire aim practice, raising from the hip to a two hand hold position on the target naturally the alignment on the target is correct when I use my right hand. When I do this with my left hand, even though my left hand grip on the gun is straight, I see that the actual aim is somewhat to the right of the target. I can get it on target easily enough but the natural swing into position does not initially put it there.
I tried to vary my stance to try to duplicate from that side what it is, but mirror image, so to speak, with the right hand. Is it just a matter of programming the brain to "point" the hand on the target? Is it just a matter of practice, practice, and more practice? If so, fine. Just wondering if this is a common expectation using the weak side.

noun \ˈlīt-ˌhau̇s\: a tower with a powerful light that is built on or near the shore to guide ships away from danger
Full Definition of LIGHTHOUSE
First Known Use of LIGHTHOUSE
Rhymes with LIGHTHOUSE
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Structure, usually with a tower, built onshore or on the seabed to signal danger or provide aid to seafarers. The first known lighthouse was the Pharos of Alexandria. The modern lighthouse dates only from the early 18th century. Initially made of wood, these towers were often washed away in severe storms. The first lighthouse made of interlocking masonry blocks was built on the treacherous Eddystone Rocks reef, off Plymouth, England (1759). Interlocking masonry blocks remained the principal material of lighthouse construction until they were replaced by concrete and steel in the 20th century. Modern construction methods have facilitated the building of offshore lighthouses. The most common illuminant is the electric-filament lamp. Refinements in lenses (e.g., the Fresnel lens) and reflectors made it possible to substantially increase the light's intensity. Radio and satellite-based navigation systems have greatly reduced the need for large lighthouses in sighting land.
