Posted: 11-Jan-2010 11:55 Hello - Wondering if any of you have any suggestions for some good Uist tunes (not songs) - either written by people from Uist or written for Uist. South Uist in particular. I've got a few already but would be a help if anybody else has any suggestions. Also, if you can think of tunes relating to Oban, that would be grand as well....! Thank you please NaP |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 14:15 As one of Scotlands leading composers Fred Morrisons "Collection " tune book would give you a head start along with his CDs -"Up South "etc -all sprinkled with Uist links and they are all 'good" tunes as you request.Some would suggest that all Uist tunes are good. Iain MacLachlans "Dark Island" is a fascinating topic in its own right-whose tune is it and when? |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 15:41 Well judging by the slow response I'll take it that the Lewis tunes are the best ;-) Thanks for that - got Fred already, will keep ploughing. It's for a documentary....got lots of non Uist stuff too. When people ask what kind of music I like, I always say "I just like a good tune." |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 15:44 I might have known a Leòdhasach wouldn't be after Uibhist tunes out of personal interest.... ;-) Anyway, there's a nice wee tune on Fhuair Mi Pòg (Allan MacDonald and Margaret Stewart) called Cille Pheadair. Not clear from the liner notes whether it's one of Allan's compositions or an older tune. |
nic a' phlutes Posts: 2289 |
Posted: 11-Jan-2010 15:48 Actually most of my favourite tunes come from the Highlands - Allan MacDonald is probably my favourite tunester :-) Edit - just saw your edit there NB. Yes I've got that one, it's brilliant. |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 16:00 The illustrious Uist piping tradition was also demonstrated by Pipe Major Angus Mac Aulay -among other interesting aspects of his work he played on the soundtrack of "Whisky Galore" if my memory serves me right in these thawing times.The "Cille Pheadair"connection was also part of the title of one of the best ceilidh dance bands ever to play the village halls -the aptly named "The Sound Of Kilphedar" -I dont think they were recorded and that was a great pity |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 16:25 Does Benbecula count? In which case "The Cat and the Dog" is a great slip jig from Benbecula. Here is a link to Angus Nicolson, Coll MacDonald & Will Lamb. It is the 2nd tune in the set: |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 18:03 A pal of mine from up there had some of tunes published in book which came out up there about 10 years back. I think it's called "Tunes of Uist" and contains pipe, fiddle and accordian tunes all composed by Uibhistachs (sp?!). I think it may only have been sold locally though. There are some cracking tunes in it and some good stories behind the tunes too. I can give you a phone number for one of the composers if you like? Regarding Oban, there's the 2/4 pipe march "Donald Maclean's Farewell to Oban", which was for written for a piper of that name who somewhat disagreed with the piping result at the Games. He vowed never to return due to getting "shafted" (piping terminology for when you get any result that isn't 1st)! Cheers |

Posted: 11-Jan-2010 22:54 Yes Glyn Mo it is called "Tunes of Uist" being 60 or so new tunes composed by a variety of composers mostly from Uist and the western isles,but some from further afield.(Penicuik!) It was produced by the Uist and Benbecula Accordian and Fiddle club following a competition . About 1999/2000. Some nice tunes!

Posted: 12-Jan-2010 11:06 "Boula2 - you can't put songs with words behind talking, so therefore tunes it is..." Boula2 has a good point. If a song has a good melody, it will also stand on its own as an instrumental piece. So, you could still use it. Unless, of course, you just wish to use existing recordings as opposed to commisioning musicians to play the pieces. |
nic a' phlutes Posts: 2289 |
Posted: 12-Jan-2010 12:20 I have tunes of songs don't worry - but tunes they are and not songs. Commissioning musicians? Yeah if I lived in fantasyland.... |
JAJ Posts: 14820 |
Posted: 12-Jan-2010 12:38 "I have tunes of songs don't worry - but tunes they are and not songs" I think that's what Boula and I both meant, actually. :-) "Commissioning musicians" Sounds a lot grander and more expensive than it need be. Basically, I just meant getting one or more people to play the tunes for you. They don't necessarily need to be professional musicians and it could be done as a favour if they were particularly interested in your project. Anyway, you obviously already have a good idea about what you wish to achieve. So, I'll leave you be. :-) |
nic a' phlutes Posts: 2289 |
Posted: 12-Jan-2010 13:22 I have something coming up where music will be commissioned - can't wait!!! Can't do it for everything but special things, yes. |

The Internet age has come with many messy complications. Millions of people in Connecticut and across the country love the ease and convenience of social media tools. Indeed, those tools have revolutionized the way that people share their lives with others.
Teens, especially, have embraced the new technologies. Sometimes, however, there's a fine line between a clever online gag and behavior that results in criminal charges for harassment, cyberbullying or some other offense.
In a recent case in Massachusetts, a high school senior made public a pass code to a teacher-run school website. The student said he intended for his friends to engage in a prank involving the posting of funny photos.
Unfortunately, the posts included sexually demeaning remarks. The nasty comments hurt the teacher so much that the teacher sought out psychological counseling to deal with them.
The school responded by first suspending the student for 10 days for cyberbullying. He was then expelled from school. The student may appeal the expulsion. But he has already lost a college scholarship offer due to the episode.
A similar case occurred in Indiana earlier this year. School officials expelled a senior only a few months before high school graduation. The alleged offense was use profanity in a Tweet made from his personal Twitter account.
It isn't only school officials who are taking action, however. State legislatures are also creating or tightening criminal laws against cyberbullying involving students. One of those is New York, where there is a new law against digital harassment.

What is the most number of neutrons that can be in an element?
If the atom is not stable, and disintegrates quickly, you might find that it could have almost 200 neutrons in its nucleus. But this does not mean much, because it does not exist for very long. Now let us talk about STABLE elements. The most neutrons in any stable element turns out to be 126, found in lead-208 and bismuth-209. And if we want to stretch our rule about stability, we might include the common isotope of uranium, uranium-238. This has 146 neutrons, and is almost stable. Its half-life is 4 billion years!

Styling Tip
Step 1: Blow hair straight with a large round brush, focusing the dryer downward to avoid creating frizz.
Step 2: Curl 1-inch sections of hair with a medium-sized curling iron. After breaking up the curls with your fingers, wrap thin strands around the iron to create varying texture. Let a few face-framing strands hang free.
Step 3: Use a setting spray for long-lasting hold.

Bill Bratten has retired after nearly 30 years with the Town of Ocean City. Bratten, who joined the Town in February 1984, has spent his career working in the Department of Public Works.
While Bratten's formal responsibilities included supervising over 30 employees, he also managed the fleet and construction divisions of public works. Before becoming the construction manager for public works, Bratten was a crew leader, equipment operator and a storm drain foreman.
"I never expected my career would take the path that it has over the last 30 years," said Bratten. "I want to thank the Mayor and Council for taking the time to recognize me and thank my colleagues for working with me over the past three decades." Bratten is also retired for the U.S. Army, where he served from 1968 until 1970. His plans after retirement include traveling with his wife and spending time with his children and grandchildren.

Taken by Kris Nelson on February 24th, 2009
Location: Oheo Gulch at Haleakala National State Park
Lots of good stuff this week, but let's start with the photo. The shot above one of the photos I got soaked for when visiting the Oheo Gulch earlier this year. Regardless of the fact that my cell phone never recovered and we had to take a pass on our hike to Waimoku Falls along the Pipiwai Trails, I'm still pretty happy with the way it came out.
I know I've already said this quite a few times now, but spending the night in Hana and being able to make it out to the park before the majority of the crowds was a great idea. Highly recommended if you're able to fit it into your vacation schedule.
Two Weeks to Takeoff
Now, onto the countdown to our next Maui trip. We leave in just two weeks, and just because we finally wrapped up all the travel arrangements, it doesn't mean it's just smooth sailing from here on out.
I posted some of our initial Trip 5 ideas already, and now it's time to start making those reservations. There's also a few omissions that I left out. First of all, Cindy wants to go parasailing. Yup, something she hasn't been able to try the last few trips because of whale season. Me, I plan on tagging along just to snap some neat photos, but don't have any desire to take the plunge.
I also mentioned last week that we wanted to make it out to Baldwin Beach near Paia, which we passed up on on our way back from Hana in February. Well, we hope to make it more than just a trip to the beach, and thanks to a post from Liza at A Maui Blog, I'm inspired to plan a longer visit to Paia that day. Read her post on why she loves Paia town to see some of the things we're going to look into.
Gearing Up
Not forgetting the primary reason for this trip is to attend the Maui Photo Festival, I still have quite a few things to do in order to prepare for all the learning and shooting I'm going to be doing. I started this list over at my photography blog, and so far the only item I can cross off is the new gear I ordered from Adorama. It should be arriving this week, just in time to test it out for a bit before we leave.
As for the other items on that list, I hope to cross more of them off today, or early this week. As you can tell, there isn't much time left. But, as seriously as I want to start taking my photography, I really do need to make more time for it on top of everything else I do on a weekly basis.
Sunday Photo #75
Lastly, it seems like only yesterday I was talking about my first Maui photo as the 50th edition in my Sunday Photo Series. Well, as fast as this summer has zipped by, I'm already up to #75 with today's post. I like the feeling that I've been able to share all my favorite photos with all of you over these past two years, and am excited that I still have so many to post and more future trips to Maui that will allow me to continue sharing the Aloha for years to come.
Here's to another 75!
Mahalo and Aloha,
- Kris

Yesterday we caught up with blogger Laura from A Forte for Fashion, whilst sipping champers in our Rimmel Bloggers' Suite. Here are her thoughts on this season's sartorial spectacle…
Glam – Who have you enjoyed from LFW?
Laura – Caroline Charles and then Manuela Dack at Vauxhall Fashion Scout.
Glam – Have you gone to many shows from VFS?
Laura – I've been to a couple; I think they're better for picking up some new ideas, something a bit fresh.
Glam – Who are you looking forward to?
Laura – Unfortunately I'm leaving this evening but I'm really interested to see what Topshop Unique do because I feel they do something new and fresh every season.
Glam – Have there been any collections that have surprised you this year?
Laura – I think Corrie Nielsen was interesting, I haven't seen much of her stuff before and I really enjoyed the show.
Glam – What trends have you seen at LFW?
Laura – Stripes! Stripes have been everywhere, and also the combination of pink and purple. There's been a femininity but with a bit of an edge too, like at Caroline Charles and Felder Felder.
Glam – What do you think makes LFW so great?
Laura – I just think London as a city is so diverse – it's such an interesting place with a whole range of people. I also feel the designers that show here are very 'London' they're very experimental and more relaxed than say Paris.
Glam – What's your tip for LFW survival?
Laura – Always carry a snack in your bag and a bottle of water – otherwise you will die.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, July 21, 2011
SECRETARY OF STATE HUSTED CERTIFIES SIGNATURES FOR REFERENDUM ON SENATE BILL 5 Petitioners have met Constitutional requirements to place issue on November ballot
COLUMBUS – Secretary of State Jon Husted today certified that petitioners seeking a referendum on Senate Bill 5 have collected 915,456 valid signatures, meeting the necessary requirements to place the issue on the 2011 November ballot. Petitioners needed 231,147 signatures or six percent of the total vote cast for Governor in 2010.
As part of the total number of signatures needed to place the measure on the ballot, petitioners also needed to collect signatures from at least 44 of Ohio's 88 counties, and within each of those counties, to collect enough signatures equal to three percent of the total vote cast for governor in the most recent gubernatorial election, 2010. Senate Bill 5 petitioners met this requirement in all 88 counties.
Having met the requirements to place the issue on the ballot, the next step in the process is for the Ballot Board to convene to approve the ballot language that voters will consider in November. The Ballot Board is expected to meet in early August.

Rush Women W-League/U20 Reserves Results – Click here for details.
May 6, 2012
(05.07.12) Due to the poor weather we will be canceling training for 5/7. Instead, we would like you to drop by the Rush Office anytime between 5:00-6:00p.m. to pick up gear, drop off any needed paper work and get a head shot of each player. U20 Reserves do not need to attend.
Johnson Signs With Rush Women
University of Portland standout and U20 WNT player Kendall Johnson has commited to play with the Rush Women for the summer W-League season. "Kendall is coming from a fine program and has national team and World Cup experience," said Rush Women's Head Coach Erik Bushey. "I believe she will be a great fit here at Rush, not only on the field as a player and role model for younger players but off the field as well. Kendall took a few minutes to share her thoughts about joining the Rush.
Rush: What are you looking forward to most with playing for the Rush Women this summer?
Kendall: I'm really looking forward to playing competitive soccer with the Rush this summer. It's unfortunate that the WPS league folded, but it gives us a great opportunity to play with and against the best players in the nation. My University of Portland teammate Dani (Foxhoven) has had great things to say about this program and I'm excited to get to know everyone. Also, my host family just told me they have a golden retriever and a 10 week-old puppy! I love dogs, so I have to admit this is an added bonus.
R: Have you played in the W-League prior to this summer?
KJ: This is my first time playing in the W-league. Having grown up and played soccer in Portland, Oregon my whole life, I think this will be a great opportunity to try something new and expand and improve as a soccer player.
R: How was it playing with Rush alum Danielle Foxhoven? Are you keeping in touch with her while she is playing in Russia?
KJ: Dani is an incredible player and an all-around great person. It's been so amazing playing with her over the past few years. She's one of the best finishers I've ever played with and most importantly, she is always playing with a smile on her face and that's so contagious. I've gotten to chat with her a few times while she's been in Russia and she has some pretty crazy stories. She will come away with a great experience playing abroad as she has such a positive attitude about everything.
R: Briefly describe your time playing with the U20 National team.
KJ: I played with the U20 national team during the 2010 World Cup in Germany. As a young soccer player, you dream about representing your country. And to actually travel, wear the USA jersey and play on the field against different nations was unbelievable. It was great to be able train with the top US players in my age. I also really enjoyed traveling and experiencing the culture of different countries.
Kendall and the Rush Women begin the 2012 season on the road at Vancouver Whitecaps on May 18th. Rush play at Victoria Highlanders two days later before returning to Colorado for the Home Opener on May 24th against Victoria at Valor Christian High School at 7:30PM.
Rush Women Sign U20 Canadian National Team Goalkeeper, Dayle Colpitts!
Littleton, CO – The Colorado Rush Women are pleased to announce their signing of Dayle Colpitts, pending USSF approval. Dayle was selected to compete in the 2012 CONCACAF U-20 Championships held in Panama, representing Canada.
This is the second year that Colpitts has been called up to Canada's U-20 team. The goalkeeper helped her squad to three wins and two losses at the CONCACAF Women's Under-20 Championship to finish fourth in 2010. Although not qualifying for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, in five games, Canada scored six goals and only allowed three goals against.
Colpitts is currently at Virginia Tech. She has helped the Hokies match their best program finish this season, as Tech made a run all the way to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. The Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada native recorded seven shut outs this season, while setting a new Tech record for a single season.
Colorado Rush Women, Head Coach Erik Bushey expresses his excitement to add Colpitts to the roster, "The position of goal keeper is incredibly important. As much as any player on the field, this position can mean the difference between three points or one point from a game, or a playoff spot or an early end to the season. To bring in a player like Dayle who has represented her country, and who even though is a young player has gained such valuable experience…well, it is a great and exciting addition to our team."

Colorado Rush Women Sign Soccer Standout Brittany Bock!
Littleton, Colorado – Colorado Rush W-League Team signs former WPS Western New York Flash player Brittany Bock for the 2012 season, pending USSF approval.
Brittany is a Naperville, Illinois native who played for the Windy City Pride Soccer Club in her High School years. She became a highly influential player during her career at Notre Dame. In the 2006 NCAA D1 Women's Soccer National Finals, Notre Dame lost 2-1 to the University of North Carolina. Brittany scored the only goal for the Irish in the 81st minute.
Brittany, currently 24 years old, was a member of the United States U-20 Women's National Team that competed in the 2006 U-20 Women's World Championship in Russia coached by our very own Tim Schulz. When asked about Brittany Bock playing with the Rush Tim stated, "When I was the U20 WNT Head Coach, she was my first choice out of 1,000's of players. This gal is hard as nails, has a competitive spirit and athleticism to boot. She ended up starting for U20 National Team on just about every occasion. I was honored to coach her and be part of her development. Now, I will be able to see her play in our own back yard."
Bock was the fifth overall pick in the 2009 Women's Professional draft, going to Los Angeles Sol, becoming part of a defense that allowed a mere ten goals in twenty-one matches. When the Sol folded in 2010, Bock was drafted by the Washington Freedom. After the 2010 season, Bock was signed by the Western New York Flash where she won her first WPS championship.
General Manager, Dominique Hoecherl, had a chance to sit down with Brittany and ask her a few questions:
What is your main source of motivation?
I have always wanted to be the best at what I do, ever since I was a kid I have had this extremely competitive drive. I still strive to be the best I can be and reach the highest level but my motives have somewhat shifted. The last few years have been a battle for me with unfortunate foot injuries, and I was at an all-time low. I changed my outlook after 2010 and started focusing on the positives, and it was God that carried me through the tough times. When I play now, I play for Him. Everything I am is because he gave it to me and I just want to glorify Him.
What was some of the best advice you have received?
Always have faith and believe in yourself. There will be obstacles and setbacks in your life, but never, ever give up on yourself. Give 100% everyday, you cannot give 110% because that is more than you are humanly capable of, but if you give 100% you know that you did everything in your power and should have no regrets. At the end of the day, everything will work out the way it is supposed to. There is a plan for us and you just have to enjoy the ride and trust that.
What is it like playing for the US National Team at the highest level?
Like I said, it has been a dream of mine since I can remember. I used to have a poster above my bed with a picture of the National Team (winning the Gold Medal) and a sign that I drew with crayon on a cardboard that said "National Team. JUST DO IT". Every morning when I would wake up that was the first thing I saw, and it was the last thing I saw every night before I went to bed. I was 14 when I made my first Youth National Team, and have been overcoming obstacles and had many sacrifices along the way, but it has all been worth it. Playing on the US National Team is an honor, and when you put that jersey on you are not only representing your country, but you are paving the way and inspiring so many young soccer players out there. Every time I have trained with the National Team I never take it for-granted and always pushed myself to improve my game.
Do you have any words of advice for young players?
Respect the game, and enjoy every second that you are playing! When you are truly having fun out on the field, it shows. Play with passion and heart, and your hard work and perseverance WILL pay off. Set your goals and dreams high, and write them down, and then give 100% every time you step out on the field. I always want to come off the field at the end of the day, whether it is a game or practice, and know that I gave everything I had. When I do that I know that I have no regrets and the rest is out of my hands, but good things will come for me.
What does playing for the Colorado Rush W-League Team mean to you?
I am so excited to play for the Colorado Rush this summer! Tim Schulz was my coach for the U20 WNT; when we went to the Youth World Cup in Russia my sophomore year in college, and I absolutely loved playing for him! He is one of THE BEST coaches I have ever had the opportunity to play for! When the WPS suspended operations for 2012, I had some very hard decisions to make as to where I would play this summer. I wanted to be in an environment where I would continue to grow as a player and be back on the National Team roster. I am extremely excited to live out here in Denver with my sister, Jenny and get some great training/games in! I'm a competitor, so I'm looking to win another championship this year like I did last year with the WNY Flash!
What are your other passions in life off of the soccer field?
Oh, I have a LOT! I am so excited to be out here in Colorado because I love the outdoors and being active year round. There are so many things I am looking forward to with this amazing weather and the mountains! I love holidays, and cooking/baking, music and many other sports too! But one of my biggest passions is something I never thought I would see myself doing, and now I cannot imagine my life without it! I started selling Premier Designs Jewelry right when I had double foot surgery and as I say, everything happens for a reason! Had I not had the two surgeries, who knows if I would be doing it, but now I cannot get enough. I have met so many amazing people through this business and I am so grateful when my hostesses thank me for all the free jewelry they get, or all the money that I have donated in fundraisers. I feel like I am the lucky one for how they are enriching MY life! Ah, I am so blessed! Please visit www.premierdesigns.com and contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about Premier Designs Jewelry.

Rush Girls Return From Spain
Lizzy Raben, Morgan Stanton and Gabbi Miranda (at right), along with the rest of the U17 US Women's National Team recently returned from La Manga, Spain where the team went undefeated in the U19 Ten Nations Tournament. With a 2-0 win over France, 1-1 draw with England and 2-0 victory over Holland, the 17's left Spain feeling good after gaining positive results against teams two years older.
"I've spoken to Albertin Montoya (U17 Head National Team Coach) and received glowing reports about all three of the girls. This is an exciting time as they prepare for World Cup qualifying," commented Colorado Rush Technical Director Erik Bushey. He continued, "The experience in Spain competing against traditional soccer powers like France, England and Holland further enhances the overall value of their time with the national team. Of course they are representing their country but they are becoming better players as a result of such experiences and as further result, same goes for their club mates here at home. I am proud of the girls for the way they are representing Rush Soccer with their performance on and off the field."
The three Rush girls have spent much of 2012 with the 17's as the team prepares for CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying in early May with a trip to the U17 Women's World Cup on the line. The girls currently play for the U17 CO Rush Nike team that lead the Mountain West Conference of the ECNL(13th overall).

Congratulations to our very own Danielle Foxhoven who has recently signed with FC Energy Voronezh. The team is located in Voronezh, Russia. The team started out in the USSR Women's Championship League but since the fall they have competed in Russia's Premier League. They have the most championships in the Russian league, winning five championships. They are three time quarter finalists in the UEFA Champions League. Danielle has signed a four month contract with the FC Energy. Please click here to read more including an interview with Danielle.
Women's Professional Soccer (WPS) announced last week that its Board of Governors has voted to suspend the 2012 season to permit the League to focus on the resolution of certain pending legal issues and the challenges that now face the League as a result of its ongoing dispute with a former owner. This is very disappointing for the young female hopefuls wanting to play at the next level.
Players that are now without a team could certainly find a home with a high level of training right here in our back yard. The W-League is the first and longest-standing women's league in North America, the W-League is the highest level of women's soccer in the United States and Canada. The 2012 W-League campaign will feature 30 teams in three regional conferences playing 12-14 regular season matches. The W-League features international and professional stars, and elite amateur players have the opportunity to compete in the W-League while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. The league is recognized throughout the world for providing superior competition for female players, while offering affordable family entertainment for fans across North America.
Stay tuned for the 2012 Colorado Rush W-League schedule to be released in the next few weeks.

Horan Gets Second Shot at World Cup
Two years ago Lindsey Horan (CO Rush) and the U17 National Team cruised through group play during World Cup Qualifying in Costa Rica. The Americans outscored their three opponents (Haiti, Cayman Islands and Costa Rica) by 32 goals. Lindsey broke the CONCACAF scoring record by netting nine goals in those three games. Then the unthinkable happened…(click here for full article.)
Colorado Rush W-League Looking Forward to a Bright 2012 Season
November 2011
The Club is very proud of all of the work the W-League players are doing right now, competing and training at the highest levels. Colorado Rush W-League Team players are very busy with their college seasons as well as their youth seasons.
Many of the Rush W-League young talents are currently playing in the ECNL league. Just past the midway point in ECNL conference play, three Rush ECNL Teams are in first place in their respective conferences. The G15 Nike (featuring standout players Betsy Brandon and Jordan Dibiasi – U20 Reserves) are riding an eight game winning streak and have lost just one time this season. Rush has 11-1 record and they are 17 points clear of second place Sereno, although they've played three more games. Rush 15's are 13 points ahead of Real Colorado, having played the same amount of games. The 15's have scored 40 times this season. Ten different players have notched at least one goal, and Jordan Di Biasi leads the way with 11.
The G17 Nike also sit atop the Mountain Division. Like the 16's, they too have been shorthanded all season long, but mostly due to National Team call ups. The 17's have not lost since falling 2-1 to Heat back at the end of August, when six of their players (including Lizzy Raben, Danica Evans, Morgan Stanton, Gabby Miranda – 2011 W-League players) were called into the US Under 17 National Team Camp. Rush is one point clear of Real Colorado, whom they beat 5-3 last month. In 11 games this season, the 17's have scored 31 goals and have allowed only 8.
The G18 Nike are 8-3 this season and trail first place Real Colorado by just three points. They defeated Real Colorado earlier this season 4-0. In 11 games this season. Twelve different goal scorers have accounted for Rush's 35 goals. In just 8 games this season, US International and W-League Rookie Player of the Year, Lindsey Horan, has scored 14 times.
The G15-18 Nike teams will travel to Las Vegas the first weekend in December to take on Heat/LV Premier. They will then break until their first National Showcase in San Antonio the last weekend in February.
Colorado Rush W-League Standout Foxhoven Closes out an Outstanding Collegiate Career at Portland
November 2011
On a chilly Saturday night, Danielle capped an outstanding collegiate career by scoring a goal and adding an assist as the University of Portland beat Gonzaga 3-0. It is only fitting that Danielle finishes the way she started. On August 23rd, 2008, in her first collegiate game, she scored the game winner against Oregon. With the goal and assist on Saturday night, Foxhoven ranks fourth all-time at UP in career goals and career points (139). Danielle has led Portland in scoring and points all four years she has played. Her highlight coming in 2009 when she netted 25 goals and 12 assists. Portland finishes the regular season 9-9-1 and 4-4-0 in the WCC.
Colorado Rush W-League Players attend National Camp
October 2011
Five Colorado Rush players are at national team camp in Carson, California this week. The camp includes both the U17 and U18 national teams. On Wednesday night, the two teams matched up against one another and all five players featured in the game. Gabrielle Miranda, Lizzy Raben, Morgan Stanton and Danica Evans all played for the U17 team and Lindsey Horan starred for the 18's. It was her performance that secured the victory for the older side as Lindsey assisted on one goal by beating her defender, attacking the end line and cutting the ball back for the finish, and then later finishing on her own after getting behind the 17's defense and beating the keeper one on one. Congratulations to Lindsey Horan and our continued best to each of the girls as they finish out the camp with three more days of training and an inter-squad game on the weekend.

Ancient Pyramids Pyramids, Platforms, Dolmens and Mounds |
As is well known there are literally hundreds of pyramids of various styles scattered over the Earth, in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Far East, Southeast Asia and South Pacific, and in North and South America. A few of these sites demonstrating the different styles are:
The best clue we have that the gods orchestrated the pyramid building is the tale of Gudea who built the temple-ziggurat at Lagash (apparently the god Kothar-Hasis was the only one authorized to design the temples. He was likely the same "Greek divine craftsman Hepahaestus" who built the temple-abode of Zeus, and the Egyptian god Thoth). For Ninurtas temple at Lagash Gudea was given elaborate and continuous instructions by the gods. He built a seven-tier ziggurat, named Eninnu, referring to a ingenious tablet which gave a plan view and 7 scales one for each tier (Zecharia Sitchin describes this story in detail in his 1976 and 1993 books. See also figs 748, 749 of Pritchard, 1969). Zecharia Sitchin makes an interesting connection with his statement that the three great pyramids of Giza are at 52 degree, but the later pyramids collapsed at this angle and were built at 43.5 degrees, and he maintains that the pyramids at Teotihuacan are also at 43.5 degrees. Furthermore "although the 2nd pyramid at Giza is shorter than the Great Pyramid, their peaks are at the same height above sea level because the 2nd one is built on higher ground; the same holds true at Teotihuacan where the smaller Pyramid of the Moon is built on ground some thirty feet higher than the Sun Pyramid, giving their peaks equal height above sea level." We should note here also that both the Great Pyramid at Giza and the Sun Pyramid at Teotihuacan have a descending shaft burrowed into the bedrock on which the pyramids were built. One of the problems in choosing a landing site for a vertical-lift aircraft is the dust and dirt generated by the exhaust. Before pyramids were built this problem was apparently minimized by landing on large rock outcrops. The ziggurats at Urand Babylon, the Zoser pyramid in Egypt (Fig 4-4), the Canary Island pyramids, and most of the Mexican pyramids and South American pyramids, employed this design. Interestingly some of the Egyptian pyramids have multiple chambers which seem to have been built over periods of time, e.g. Sneferus pyramid has an underground chamber, a 2nd chamber near the surface, and a 3rd chamber up in the pyramid, as if the site was in use before, possibly long before, the pyramid was erected, probably as a landing and feeding site. The chambers of the Great Pyramid also follow this pattern; the 1st one being deep underground, then the 2nd (Queens) chamber built low in the center of the pyramid, and the 3rd (Kings) chamber higher up. This pattern suggests that one goal was to provide continuous and increasing degrees of protection from above. The pyramids of Mycerinus, Unas, Teti and most others also had underground chambers. In fact the pyramids of Mycerinus and some others did not even have chambers in the pyramids themselves - all chambers were underground! Obviously this design would make excellent bomb shelters, and I suspect that the large pyramids, and any hapless occupants, if they had been located at "ground zero" at Hiroshima or Nagasaki, would have survived. The pyramidal shape would have effectively deflected most of the blast wave and fireball, and the neutron and gamma-ray pulses would have been attenuated to negligible levels by the stone mass. Zecharia Sitchin (1985) offers a rather fantastic function for the pyramids of Giza: that they were built by the Nefilim, not by mankind, as part of a guidance grid for "the Tilmun spaceport". He develops a theory that ties the pyramids and the "sacred cities" into a guidance and communication grid for two approach corridors, one west-to-east over Mesopotamia and one west-to-east over the Sinai. "Built by the gods (Anunnaki), they were landmarks and beacons for the spaceport in Sinai, and existed long before kingship began in Egypt. Regarding the Giza pyramids some scholars argue that the stones were pulled up long ramps on sleds, referencing the familiar painting from the tomb of Djehutihotepe of 204 workers moving his 60 ton statute on a sled (Fig 4-5). But this only proves that this statue was moved on a sled. I am not aware of a single image or inscription which depict the methods used to construct the great pyramids. We simply do not know how it was done. Incidentally Mark and Richard Wells (2000) have discovered an amazing similarity in the alignment and size of the three stars in Orion's belt and the alignment and size of the major pyramids at Giza, Egypt; Xi'an, China; Teotihuacan, Mexico. Don't miss their essay. So we have pyramids of heights ranging from 30 ft to over 400 ft, lengths from 100 ft to 2300 ft; some with inner chambers and some solid throughout; stepped and smooth walled; square, round and elliptical bases; stone, mud and adobe brick construction; highly decorated or plain; some topped with small buildings. From these various styles, sizes, and composition I think we can conclude that the pyramids had several functions: burial sites, landmarks, landing sites, feeding stations, bomb shelters, and ceremonial sites; and there is evidence that many of them served several functions simultaneously. But one thing seems certain the pyramids, platforms and mounds around the world were places where the gods and mankind came together. |

Sure, a dead perennial that I forgot to cut down in the fall is something.

Home › Academics › Colleges › Graduate School › Graduate Financial Assistance
The University of Tulsa Graduate School offers a number of assistantships, fellowships, and scholarships to admitted and enrolled full-time graduate students. Assistantship and fellowship awards include both a monthly stipend to cover living expenses as well as tuition coverage and student health insurance. Scholarship awards generally only cover tuition.
Dr. Michael Troilo, Wellspring Assistant Professor of International Business and China scholar, has instrumental role in facilitating international exchange program with the China University of Petroleum, in Beijing.
Dr. Michael Troilo, Wellspring Assistant Professor of International Business and scholar of entrepreneurship in China, played an instrumental role in facilitating negotiations with representatives from the China University of Petroleum, Beijing. Their visit to The University of Tulsa resulted in President Steadman Upham signing an exchange agreement with CUP in April, 2008. Since Fall 2009, students from CUP have studied at the TU, and soon, TU students will have the opportunity to study overseas at one of China's top 50 universities. The best and brightest from CUP — five to 10 students a year — will finish their junior and senior years at TU and be cultural ambassadors for their country. "The China University of Petroleum is considered among the most prestigious schools in China and has a quality economic environment," said Dean Gale Sullenberger. "Our students will have a chance to meet and interact with the future leaders of China. This area of the world is the new frontier of economic growth and will be significant for decades to come." Visiting officials from CUP included President Zhang Laibin, Professor Xudong Sun and Deputy Director Zhaoxia Dong. During their visit good will was exchanged, along with gifts and toasts at Upham's home, as they sought to iron out details of their new relationship with TU. "We rolled out the red carpet for the representatives," said Mike Troilo, assistant professor of international business. "Their students are the crème de la crème of Asia, and we're so excited to have the benefit of having these students on our campus. And when our students begin studying in China, they'll experience firsthand what it's like living in a country that has such prominence in a global setting." In addition to the Collins College of Business, CUP will also partner with the TU Department of Petroleum Engineering.
Stipends vary according to the amount of work required and the experience of the student. Full-time awards include a minimum stipend of approximately $13,000 for the nine-month academic year, with several awards having higher stipend amounts. Tuition scholarship awards covering up to nine credit hours of tuition per semester are also available. Tuition for the 2014-2015 academic year is $1120 per credit hour for all graduate students.
Students awarded financial assistance must be enrolled in at least nine hours of graduate work during the fall and spring semesters. Students must also maintain a 3.0 grade-point average in graduate studies to remain on an assistantship, fellowship, or scholarship.
The University of Tulsa considers that a full-time graduate student receiving a graduate assistantship has a full-time commitment. Any employment in addition to the assistantship is specifically prohibited. Any violation of this policy will result in the immediate termination of the assistantship.
Applicants interested in a teaching or research assistantship should submit their application for admission no later than February 1st for admission the next fall semester. Some specialized assistantship, fellowship, and scholarship programs have a deadline of January 15th and require the submission of a separate application. Please consult the specific award program for the correct application deadline.
Need-based financial assistance for all students is handled by the Office of Student Financial Services. For more information about these funding opportunities, please visit their website: http://www.utulsa.edu/financialaid/

I did not follow the direction to "not disturb the skin" as I read other recipes where this was not necessary, and I worried about not mixing the yogurt in.

I am personally scared of the regret that is caused by the knowledge of death coming. Many opportunities to do something useful in life were never done. Life is long and many people take life for granted, but when death is near, they stop to think about the stupid **** that they've done. Take for instance, a high school drop-out drug addict nearing the end of his life. He would welcome death, but regret the fact that he had more-or-less wasted his entire life on drugs, whereas a better path could have been taken, ensuring a happy, more fulfilling life. This is what scares me the most, not death, but regret.

Not hell bent in any way, I would like there to be a afterlife, but why bother? if we can't properly test it, it's just a useless hunt. Theorize all you want, but you can't test it, so why bother? it will just be a question which burns up your mind for the rest of your life.
