Wireless Wii Nunchuk Controller Coming From Nyko
In between all the reports of who's got the thinnest flat screen at this week's CES show, it's easy to overlook some of the hidden treasures to be uncovered at the trade show. Take, for instance, this great new wireless controller for the Nintendo Wii.
Nyko's new Wireless Nunchuk (or Nunchuck if you're not using the proper Nintendo nomenclature) controller lets you play games that require both the Wii-mote and Nunchuk to operate completely without the annoying cable between the controllers. The $30 wireless controller works just like the one Nintendo includes, but transmits its signal to an adapter that snaps on to the bottom of your Wii-mote.
Expect the Nyko Wireless Nunchuk to hit stores sometime later in Q1 2008.
[via CrunchGear]
Comments (2):
That's an awesome idea, and Nintendo should be ashamed of themselves for not having thought of this already!
As an adult–and not a 7-year-old kid–I find the short cord between the wiimote and nunchuck to be a constant annoyance. Either it's getting in the way in general, or it's too short for how I feel like using the controller. A wireless wiimote and nunchuck is just a great idea.
i like this cuz my lil brother broke the cord on our nunchuks and i really got pissed so with no cord, whats there to break???

Working with state-of-the-art technology, the Comprehensive Cancer Center's highly trained clinicians offer the most effective cancer treatments available in the world, right here in Rhode Island.
The Trilogy Stereotactic System is the world's premier image-guided system that allows physicians to pinpoint cancer in the head, neck and body, and use the most effective treatments for each type of cancer. The Comprehensive Cancer Center is the first in the state to offer this powerful system. Trilogy is capable of delivering all forms of external beam radiation.
Robotic prostatectomy is an effective alternative to traditional open surgery and laparoscopy, with fewer side effects, for prostate cancer treatment.
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a noninvasive procedure that uses pinpoint delivery of radiation therapy for various types of cancer, including prostate cancer, head and neck cancers, brain tumors, and some lung and pancreatic cancers. IMRT causes no fatigue, nausea or hair loss and enables better control of radiation to preserve the surrounding healthy tissue.
A precise and powerful tool, Gamma Knife treats tumors and vascular malformations in the brain. Treatment rarely causes side effects and there is no risk of surgical complications. We were one of the first sites in the United States to use Gamma Knife, and remain one of two facilities in New England to use the technology.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that uses heat to destroy tumors. It was designed to destroy liver tumors, but has proven to be successful at eliminating tumors in other parts of the body. We were the first in the country to explore additional applications for RFA. Today, RFA is used successfully to treat breast, kidney, liver, lung, adrenal and bone cancers.
Combination treatment of radiofrequency ablation and high dose rate brachytherapy, a form of radiation therapy, was first performed at our center. We are now leading a national clinical trial of the combination treatment.
A minimally invasive procedure, microwave ablation heats and destroys tumors using microwave energy. We performed the first microwave ablation procedure in the United States; we are currently one of only ten facilities in the country that offer the treatment and we are leading the clinical trials.
Antibody therapies are used for people with compromised immune systems. The center provides Immune Globulin Intravenous therapy; intravenous immunoglobulin is a highly purified preparation of immunoglobulin G and is used in the treatment of patients who have no, or very low levels of, antibody production.
Electronic brachytherapy is used to treat early stage breast cancer and endometrial cancer using a miniaturized linear accelerator to deliver a radiation-emitting seed the size of a grain of rice directly to the tumor site in order to help reduce recurrence of the disease.
Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with "anticancer" drugs that destroy cancer cells by stopping them from growing or multiplying. The Comprehensive Cancer Center provides chemotherapy in a comfortable, private setting.
The Lymphedema Program helps patients manage lymphedema through complete decongestive therapy, which includes massage, compression wrapping and patient education.
The Melanoma Program provides individualized assessments and care plans for each patient to ensure the best possible treatment.
The Genetic Counseling Center identifies families who have inherited types of cancer, so that at-risk relatives can be monitored.
Intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemoperfusion (HIPEC) treatment combined with surgical removal of the tumor is an innovative treatment for advanced stage patients with abdominal cancers such as ovarian and gastrointestinal.

I replanted my back yard with Black Jack Burmuda seed well over 6 months ago and I am starting to see this pop up in the grass in a lot of places. Before I replanted the grass I used Annual Ryegrass for one season and then killed it. I don't think this is ryegrass but looks more like a weed to me. I used Weed b gone and it did nothing.... Can you help me identify this? |

Maybe Orchard Grass (Dactylis glomerata)? Unfortunately, you will have to either hand pull it or use a weed and grass killer that may end up taking out some grass in the process that you can reseed later. |
This post was edited by mistascott on Thu, Dec 20, 12 at 16:56
Weed B Gone is a broad leaf plant killer and will not work on grass like plants, so an inappropriate poison was used here. If pulling is not enough to eliminate this grassy plant then some poison that will also kill the grassaround it might need to be used, but puloling it out, roots and all, is the best choice. |
That looks like a young foxtail weed to me. They get tall by late spring and have the sharp pointed stickers that get into dogs ears. I pull all my weeds because weed killers are toxic to insects and kill lizards. |
Here is a link that might be useful: is this a weed?

The Vanderbilt/NIMH Conte Center for Neuroscience Research presents Dr. Jonathan Metzl on "Mental Illness, Mass Shootings and the Politics of American Firearms"
Gun violence is a frequently debated issue on both the national and state political scene. In the aftermath of the December, 2012 Newtown, Connecticut shootings, the state of Tennessee passed a bill that required mental-health professionals to report "dangerous patients" to local officials, National Rifle Association vice president Wayne LaPierre's called for a "national registry" of persons with mental illness, and commentator Ann Coulter provocatively claimed that "guns don't kill people--the mentally ill do." Meanwhile, geneticists plan to study Adam Lanza's DNA for individual-level "abnormalities or mutations", and subsequent mass shootings spur research on the brains of mass-shooters.
Dr. Metzl will explore the connections between gun violence, mass shootings, neuroscience, and mental illness. He will discuss how mass shootings reveal more about particular instances than they do about population-level actions. And, how decisions about which crimes American culture diagnoses as "crazy" and which crimes it labels as "sane" are driven as much by the politics of particular cultural moments as by the actions of individually disturbed brains.
To learn more about Dr. Metzl and to see his latest appearance on the Melissa-Harris Perry Show discussing the importance of setting new gun laws, please visit The Center for Medicine, Health, and Society website.
Tuesday, April 15th in the Jack Wood Hall at the Adventure Science Center.
The seminar begins at 7:00 PM and will include the opportunity to ask questions.
This event is free and open to the public, but space is limited.
Please contact Denise Malone with any questions about the event.
This event is sponsored by the Vanderbilt/NIMH Silvio O. Conte Center for Neuroscience Research, NIH Award P50 MH096972 to Vanderbilt University.

Review: Diablo III Was Worth 12 Years of Hell
- |
- 2:47 pm |
- Permalink
Cross another winner of multiple Vaporware Awards off the list: After many long years, Diablo III is finally available.
Blizzard has clearly aimed to capture everything people loved about Diablo III's 12-year-old predecessor, the addictive dungeon-raiding gameplay that made them crave a sequel so badly, and update it for modern times. This is reflected in the cinematics, soundtrack and game design. Everything is snappier, more intuitive and all presented in high definition. Picking up the explosions of loot that enemies drop like grotesque pinatas is much easier on the ol' clicking finger.
Before you even start to appreciate the smoothness of Diablo III's gameplay, you'll be blown away by the sights and sounds. The cinematic scenes are so gorgeous that I spent more time looking at the pores on the characters' faces than I did paying attention to what was happening in them. The soundtrack, for my money, is the best I've heard in a videogame in at least five years. It was composed by seven different musicians: Russel Brower, Derek Duke, Glenn Stafford, Joseph Lawrence, Neal Acree, Laurence Juber and Edo Guidotti. Other game music composers need to find out what these guys put in their coffee, because they're making everybody else look like hacks.
The cutting-edge graphics make the game's writing, in comparison, seem a bit behind the times. Diablo III's approach to storytelling makes you wonder if somehow the writing team at Blizzard is trapped in a time warp, permanently stuck working with storytelling tools from 1999. The writing is dry at best, with ambitions that avoid rising above telling a run-of-the-mill dark fantasy story. The main story beats told in the epic cut-scenes are fine, but NPCs function as little more than generic fantasy text generators and the in-engine scenes have all the kinetic energy and narrative punch of a middle school play.
Blizzard tried to spruce things up by adding in lots of diaries lying throughout the game that function like the audio logs in BioShock, but this feature is handled clumsily. Once I helped this necromancer-type guy activate some magical totems, and, after thanking me, his diary flew out of his pants and landed at my feet. He didn't hand it to me; it emerged, as if of its own free will, from his boxers. So instead of just talking to this guy to learn about his past, I took his crotch-book and listened to an audio reading of his personal logs, performed by him. This is all while he's standing in front of me. Again: The word is clumsy.
I complained about Blizzard's difficulties merging story, dialogue and game mechanics in my first impressions piece last week, and I ran into more of that while playing through the game's full 20-hour campaign. My favorite example happens every time my character runs out of "hatred," an expendable energy used to fuel special attacks for the Demon Hunter class. Right-clicking to use the attack while I'm low on hatred prompts Demon Hunters to holler out the sort of ridiculous phrase you would only ever hear in a videogame: "I need more hatred to do that!"

Comments about Super Strong Magnetic Clips, Set of 4:
These are the strongest magnets I have ever seen
Comment on this review
Magnificent Magnets!
By Amanda from One Extra Degree
from OH
I admit it. I have a slight addiction to magnets in the classroom. There. I said it! I seriously don't even know what I would do without my magnet collection. I use them to hang everything from anchor charts, to posters, to our behavior chart, and everything in between. I feel like I can never have enough, so when I was asked to review the Super Strong Magnetic Clips by Learning Resources, there was a resounding YES on my end!The packaging claims that they can hold 20 pounds... each... and it claims that each 1 1/2 diameter clip can hold 50 sheets of paper. I thought to myself, "I'll believe it when I see it". Let me tell you what though! They DELIVERED in a BIG way! I always struggled to keep our behavior chart up in the past using other clips. It seemed like every time a kiddo moved a clip up or down, the whole chart came tumbling down resulting in a mess of clothespins and an unnecessary (yet seemingly unavoidable) distraction. It drove me twelve kinds of crazy on a fairly regular basis. I am happy to say that after a few months with this set of clips, we haven't had a single clip catastrophe. The worst thing that happens from time to time is a little slipping and sliding from the lamination film, but that is easily remedied without a complete mess. I probably don't need to use three-fourths of the clips on my behavior chart, but it's worth the peace of mind to me, just knowing that it's not going anywhere, no matter how many kids are tugging at the chart at any given time. Thank goodness! I have a wide array of magnets in my little classroom oasis. Some of them are eye candy, some of them are sufficiently useful for everyday use, and some of them are workhorses. The Super Strong Magnetic Clips definitely live up to their name. They are super strong, and they are the resident workhorses in my classroom. If you are a magnet snob or a magnet connoisseur, I highly recommend them for your classroom needs. I love, love, love them, and I know you will too!
Great magnets, very strong!
By Lisa at Ahh~Mazing Reviews
from Olive Branch, MS
I received these magnets for review on my blog. I have used these magnets for displaying art work, and for keeping up with a stack of papers I need handy for my son's upcoming autism evaluation process. I have all the forms and typed up info clipped in a magnet, envelopes of his past evaluation results in a couple of magnets, and art work in another. These magnets are strong, and held all of this — even the envelopes which probably have about 20 sheets of paper in each! I did use 2 magnets on the envelopes, not because one magnet wouldn't hold the weight of the envelopes, but because the clips aren't very deep and I felt it held envelopes full of papers better with 2 magnets to make sure they wouldn't slip out. It has held the actual stack of papers with no problem, and that is about 10 sheets of paper. I am sure it could hold an even bigger stack if I tried it! The clips are easy to press, but not so loose that they are going to get opened easily and have your papers fall out. Once we get started with our evaluation process, these magnets will probably mostly get used for holding artwork and grocery lists, but for now it is a great way to keep those evaluation papers out of my son's reach and in a place where I won't lose them.
Who Knew Magnets Could Be Exciting
By Cher@MomandMore
from Chicago, IL
Don't get me wrong I have magnets in our house, but all them pretty much suck. They don't hold much, they fall and they cause problems. The problems arise when papers fall and get lost or damaged, which is what happens in my house. The Super Strong Magnetic Clips are truly awesome! They hold 20 pounds each and you clip the papers, rather than just putting a magnet on. Each clip is easy to use and brightly colored to easily spot. I was able to hold a whole magazine from these clips without them sliding or budging at all! These are great for classrooms, home or office use! I never would have bought new magnets thinking they were all the same but these magnets I think are going to be a big help in getting and staying organzied!
These are GREAT!!!!!!
By Kristen from Ohio
from Ohio
Since there were four and each was a different color, I let each child select one to be their own personal magnet. The last color left is being used for the baby in my belly! Right now the magnets are holding artwork and stuff, but come school time, you can easily see how useful they will be! Each child can clip their permission slips, homework assignments etc.. onto their OWN magnet! It will make the school year so much easier.

Thai Beef Tacos with Lime- Cilantro Slaw + Coconut Ginger Rice
Does your family ever look at you funny when you tell them that you're preparing something out of the ordinary for dinner? Do they give you that skeptical look when you share the recipe title with them? In my ongoing effort to provide variety and flavor to our weekly meals, I often receive these sorts of looks from the fam. It all usually works out in the end though, so I'm not sure why I continue to get met with such skepticism.
Yesterday's Edamame Dumplings were a prelude to our wonderful Asian-style dinner. Another choice from Cooking Light: Thai Beef Tacos with Lime- Cilantro Slaw. The side dish (not light) comes from the Blue Mesa Grill: Coconut Ginger Rice.
This is an easy, fairly quick meal. The "marinade" for the flank steak is super basic. It's so basic, in fact, that I worried that there wouldn't be much flavor for the beef. The marinade included sugar, ginger, fish sauce, chili-garlic sauce, pepper and garlic. That all gets thrown into a big ziploc with the flank steak, and it sits for just 20 minutes in the fridge.
The slaw is quick too- especially if you buy the bags of coleslaw mix and matchstick carrots. It's tossed with similar spices as well as lime juice and cilantro.
The verdict: You should make this. Why? Because it's different. When I told my family that we were having tacos for dinner, they said- 'YAY!' Then I told them they were Thai tacos and they looked at me like I had a major screw loose. During dinner, I heard things like, "Wow, these are really good." (with a large element of surprise included.) My 6 year old even ate the slaw inside the taco, and I can tell you with 100% certainty that he wouldn't eat that stuff if it was just sitting on a plate. I will also tell you that you should eat the slaw inside and outside of the taco. It's pretty tasty either way.
*An additional note on the marinade for the steak: If you like spicy, it wasn't spicy as prepared in the given recipe. If you want spice, add more chili garlic sauce. Marinating it longer may also help the spice flavor come through a little more.
But here was the real star of dinner: Coconut- Ginger Rice. It doesn't sound all that exciting, but it was. Besides coconut milk, a couple other fun ingredients are included in this side dish: sushi ginger and pesto. I didn't know if I could find sushi ginger, but I was able to locate it easily at my market's sushi counter. If they don't sell a little tub of it, you can ask the sushi guy and he'll give you some (especially if you're really nice and you tell him how good his sushi looks.)
We gobbled up this rice like there was no tomorrow. The next day we had yummy Thai taco leftovers, and wished we had made more rice too (since I had halved the recipe.)
And if you're someone who doesn't usually have things like fish sauce and chili garlic sauce at-the-ready in your fridge… go ahead and pick some up. You'll be surprised how many recipes include these ingredients, and they're easy to find in the Asian section of your market.
One of these days, the family may come to learn that my recipe choices are more often than not excellent ones. Until then, I can handle the looks. After all, there is usually a delicious ending.
The taco recipe can be found HERE.

Sleeping Dogs
Version and / or Patch Used: Latest Steam Update
Timedemo or Level Used: Built in Benchmark
Developer Homepage: http://eu.square-enix.com/en
Product Homepage: http://www.sleepingdogs.net/
The core gameplay of Sleeping Dogs consists of giving the player an open world environment in which to move around freely. Sleeping Dogs is played as an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective action-adventure game with role-playing elements. The player controls Wei Shen, a Chinese-American police officer, as he goes undercover to infiltrate the Sun On Yee Triad organization. On foot, the player character has the ability to walk, run, jump, climb over obstacles and swim, as well as use weapons and martial arts in combat. Players also drive a variety of vehicles including cars, boats, and motorcycles.
Getting into Sleeping Dogs performance we can see numbers that line up with the GIGABYTE Radeon HD 7790 at over 1200MHz which is good news for NVIDIA, considering we're dealing with reference speeds on its card. At the highest resolution we fall a little back between both cards, but with none of the cards offering playable FPS at this resolution, it's not nearly as important.

Cablegram E15 LONDON, 20 August 1948, 8.35 p.m.
BROOK'S VISIT. [1] Noel-Baker discussed with me new and tentative suggestions as to future relationships of British Nations which have been put forward mainly by India and under which status of the King would be altered in important respects. I informed him of past occasions when you and I were consulted without our views being at all accepted and pointed out possibility of serious local political implications. I further suggested that Indian legal and constitutional views on British Commonwealth of Nations would need most careful consideration before we could pronounce on them.
Therefore suggest you might tell Brook that position can be discussed with me here without commitment by Australia. Best Wishes.

Beckett pitches no-hitter, Dodgers stop Phillies Josh Beckett pitched the first no-hitter of his stellar career and the first in the majors this season, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Philadelphia Phillies 6-0 on Sunday. Beckett struck out six, walked three and didn't come close to allowing a hit against a lineup that included two former NL MVPs and four former All-Stars. The 34-year-old right-hander, whose career was almost derailed by recent injuries, pitched the first no-hitter in the majors since Miami's Henderson Alvarez did it against Detroit on the final day of the 2013 season. Beckett became the first visiting pitcher to throw a no-hitter in Philadelphia since Montreal's Bill Stoneman stopped the Phillies on April 17, 1969, at Connie Mack Stadium. |

Wing Bowl 2009
"Just like the point guards, [there's] a diverse mix of old and young, shooters and slashers, champions and franchise players. Looking at this season's rosters, almost every team has an established or budding star at the three, with every night providing multiple marquee matchups. Basically, reason No. 295 why you need to get NBA League Pass."
That was from Dime's NBA season preview issue, regarding the beginning of what looks like a golden era for small forwards. And Sunday was one of those nights we talked about, where the small forwards shined everywhere. The main event had LeBron and Kevin Durant squaring off in Oklahoma City, and 'Bron turned in maybe his best performance of the year. Read More »

Lookbook: Sephora by OPI Fall 2010, "Rock His World," "Dating The Drummer"
I purchased two shades from the Sephora by OPI Fall 2010 Collection, and they are "Rock His World," and "Dating The Drummer." I purchased these from swatches I saw on the Sephora website, and decided to swatch them here so you can preview before you buy, so
Rock His World is a deep cranberry shade. This color is completely sultry, sexy, and gorgeous. In the bottle, it looks like just another cranberry nail polish, but on the nails, it looks shiny, sophisticated, and rich.
I am typically not a huge fan of red nail polishes, including darkened reds, but this one has my heart. Just the way the shade hits the light and looks so luxurious…swoon!
Dating The Drummer is described on the website as "sheer warm walnut with fine holographic glitter." I do think that is a pretty accurate description of the shade, but be warned, the "glitter" is more than just fine…it is almost non-existent. I was so disappointed by this shade when I received it, because the swatch on the website looks absolutely nothing like it. Do not get me wrong – there is not a single thing wrong with this shade. It is still very pretty, and the glitter (more like shimmer) is noticeable if you look really closely in sunlight, but overall, I would skip this polish if given the choice to do it over again. Of course, it will appeal to some nail polish lovers, so let's take a look!
The swatch above is very misleading as to what the nail polish looks like in real life, and I do wish that Sephora would update their nail polish photographs to be more accurate and detailed in general.
Both of these shades applied well like most Sephora by OPI's do. The swatches above are two coats, and each color was opaque and applied smoothly.
Sephora by OPI Nail Polish retails for $9 a bottle at Sephora stores exclusively nationwide. You can also browse and purchase these nail polishes at Sephora online by clicking the photographs and links below:

I really like Rock His World….Dating the Drummer looks like melted chocolate that you'd painted on your nails. I don't really like it but I'm sure someone else will, lol
"Rock His World" is my kind of fall color! But it would be fun to get these just for the names?!?! Hah Hah!
Thanks for the swatches- I was so wanting Dating the Drummer, but I agree that the swatch doesn't look like the pic on Sephora. I think I'll pass on it…

I have been growing Chinese Hibiscus now for almost 40 years. I recently moved to Ensenada, Mexico and have found over 20 new plants that I have been able to obtain cuttings from. I am having problems with the plants growing well and starting to bloom beautifully and then suddenly dropping leaves and buds and almost dying. What is happening? Is it because the weather here in Ensenada is too cool for them to grow well. My plants when I lived in Kansas and Missouri grew and bloomed so much better without these types of problems. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Alonza9425, My suggestion is you get back to fundamentals. You obviously have a different environment. Is the soil different, the humidity, the nutrients? Could pests be involved? I would look at these items first. Ed |

Looks really cool!
I know that Ray Keim posts on some other forums, but not sure if he does so here, but I haven't seen any other posts about making his models on this board, so I thought I'd post my progress along so far. (For those of you who don't know, Ray runs Haunted Dimensions by Ray Keim, where he has some fantastic paper models of all the mansions)
Anyway, I came across his site awhile ago, and downloaded some of the projects, but didn't think I'd have the time or the patience to do them...While moving some stuff over to a new computer over Thanksgiving, I re-found the files, and decided to give 'em a shot. Two weeks later, I'm two models down, and already working on the mansion.
Check out my progress so far!

Thanks guys!
I'm going out tonight to find some LED or X-mas lights to outfit the inside of the house with to make it look a little cooler when finished. I'm also picking up one or two recording modules so when the model is complete, I can hide buttons around it that you can press that play the wolf howling and stuff like that.
It's taking longer than expected, but it's still coming along. I'm almost done...just need to do the front facade!
After that, it's on to added some X-mas lights for effect, and a sound module to add in the music and howling dog!
I've always wanted one of these, but knew I would never have the time, talent or patience to finish one.

Now that I've gotten the hang of this one, I'm sure the next one (probably the Disneyland one, and then Phantom Manor) won't take me nearly as long. Want me to make you a Liberty Square one?! haha
It's getting there! Almost complete!

"Didn't have sugar, chili peppers or bal vinegar. I used red pepper flakes, toffee extract, and regular white vinegar. This meal is delicious! I took the skin off the chicken legs and cooked in frying pan for 40 mins. I served with Asian veggies and white rice! Deelish!"

Extending your student visa through International Student Support
Tier 4 (General) student visa applications that are made in the UK must be submitted to the UK Border Agency using an online procedure. This involves completing and submitting your application form and making your payment online. When you have done this you will then need to submit your supporting documents to UKBA by post.
We have produced a guide which will help you to create an online account with UKBA and to complete the online application form. This is available to download here:
How to complete the Tier 4 Student online application form
How to extend your visa through ISS
ISS is based at the Student Support Centre and operates the "Student Batch Scheme" in conjunction with UKBA for student visa extension applications. We would strongly encourage you to send your application through this scheme so that ISS can support you through the application process.
A comprehensive booklet called "A guide to extending your student visa" is available to download here:
A guide to extending your student visa
This will give you the detailed information you will need in order to complete your visa application.
It is essential that you read this guide carefully before making your visa application.
You can also view our Tier 4 student visa video which explains what documents you will need for your visa application.
*Please note International Student Support have stopped printing the 'Guide to extending your Student Visa' hard copy booklet and it is not available for collection. Online versions of the booklet are available and they can be downloaded from this page. Please see the link in Step 1.
Most applications are processed within 14 weeks from the date of posting, although it can take longer at busy times such as October or January, or if the UKBA make enquiries.
We strongly advise you not to book any travel until your documents are returned as we cannot guarantee how long the process will take.
Step by step guide to extending your visa through ISS
Step 1
Download our booklet called A guide to extending your student visa
Step 2
Download our guide called How to complete the Tier 4 Student Online Application
Step 3
Complete the Tier 4 Student Online application form as instructed in the leaflet. There are 12 sections to complete. Gather together all of the required supporting documents and take a photocopy of each document.
Step 4
Save your Tier 4 Student Online application form as a PDF document as instructed in the leaflet and then email it to firstname.lastname@example.com as an attachment at least 4 weeks before your visa is due to expire. Please identify your email as "Tier 4 Student Online Application" in the subject box, and in the main body of your email please include the following information:
- Your full name
- Your contact telephone number
- Your student ID number
- The date your current visa will expire

Please bring your supporting documents and photocopies with you to this appointment.
Is there a more urgent service?
You can make a premium in-person application at the UKBA Public Enquiry Office (PEO) in Cardiff. This costs £781 and your visa usually takes approximately 2 weeks to be issued from the day you give your biometric details at the PEO. If you wish to apply in this way you will still need to submit your application and pay the visa fee online. You will then be able to book an appointment at the UKBA Public Enquiry Office to give your biometrics. Please download our guide called How to complete the Tier 4 Student Online Application.
My parents are providing financial support, is there a template letter that they could use?

Filial Therapy Web Conference - Skill Training Family Therapy
In the 1960's, Filial Therapy began as a dramatic challenge to prevailing approaches for mental health services for children. Not only did Filial Therapy include parents but Bernard G. Guerney, Jr. and his wife, Louise Fisher Guerney (the originators of Filial Therapy) believed that training parents to learn child-centered play therapy was an effective way to treat child problems. This innovative approach assumed that a shift to an educational/skill-training model could be as (or more) effective than the traditional medical model of treatment. An evidence-based approach, Filial Therapy has had a long history of research and practice as an intervention/prevention program with young children and their families. Filial Therapy teaches parents how to conduct weekly child-centered play sessions with their own children at their own home. This occurs in a
constructive relationship context that is based on principles and methods of child-centered play therapy. When the Guerney's began to develop this innovative approach, the family therapy movement was undergoing a phenomenal growth. They designed the program as a child-centered family therapy.
In Filial Therapy, parents learn to conduct one-on-one child-centered play sessions with their own children. Parents then continue to hold weekly play sessions with their children at home for a period of six months to a year (or more depending on the child's motivation). Modeled after child-centered play therapy, these half-hour play sessions occur in a highly structured context with few but clearly defined limits and consequences set by the adult. This context is designed to allow children to take the initiative and freely express themselves and it fosters self-regulation and independence. In turn, parents are asked to respond (acknowledge) their children's initiative, behavior, expression, and underlying emotion with acceptance and without judgment.
Through the weekly practice of play sessions, children can improve their self concept, gain mastery, and learn to take responsibility for their actions. They become more aware of their own motivations and feelings. Concurrently, parents "soften," become more empathic and receptive to their child's motivations (emotions), and increasingly willing to trust in their child's independence. Parents also learn to set effective limits and consequences, gaining confidence in their skills. In these ways, parents are better able to meet the needs of their children and keep them safe. Most importantly, children and parents may become more open to one another, more inclined to share their feelings with each other, and feel more securely attached to one another.
This improved relationship fosters greater collaboration, which in turn can reduce conflict and negativity while improving child mastery and family stability.

The changing industrial economy has deprived Dayton of some of its once-powerful job creators. Key employers either faded away or relocated, like the old National Cash Register, now NCR, which moved to Georgia in 2009. But companies in a number of modern industries -- specializing in aerospace and health care -- have taken up the slack. At 6.9%, the area's unemployment rate is well below the national average.
Meanwhile, population in the metro area is growing again after years of shrinking -- the city lost more than 10% of its residents between 2000 and 2010, according to the Census Bureau.
All that outmigration kept demand -- and prices -- for homes low. Last quarter, though, prices rose 14%, sending Dayton's affordability rankings down a few notches.

Digging: Marilyn Manson - The Pale Emperor
Good review, and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this album after being bored by everything since Ashes. This is kinda silly though: "One thing that sets aside Lamb Of God from the other metalcore bands is the lyrics. Instead of singing about failed romances and how much they want to kill themselves, they sing about more mature themes, such as drug abuse and warfare, to name a few."
Album Rating: 4.0Maybe haha :p
I would say for future reference, try to find ways to distance yourself from using "I" statements as much, and maybe move towards describing things in third person. In terms of format, don't capitalize the first words in parenthesis. It might not hurt to put song titles in quotes as well.
And yeah, "failed romances and how much they want to kill themselves," is a pretty sweeping generalization, and an incorrect one, too.
Album Rating: 4.0OK thanks for the tips!

Recording score improvements in eight of the 10 economic freedoms, including monetary freedom, management of public finance, trade freedom, and financial freedom, Armenia has advanced from economic repression 20 years ago to economically "moderately free" today. Facilitated by the broad advancement of economic freedom, diversification of the economic base has enhanced Armenia's economic dynamism and reduced poverty.Nonetheless, substantial challenges remain, particularly in implementing deeper institutional and systemic reforms that are critical to strengthening the foundations of economic freedom. Both the protection of property rights and freedom from corruption are far below world standards, and the legal framework continues to be weak. Read more about Armenia Economy. Close Background Armenia achieved independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. A cease-fire in its 24-year dispute with Azerbaijan over the Nagorno–Karabakh region has been in effect since 1994, but minor hostilities continue, and Armenia's borders with Azerbaijan and Turkey remain closed. President Serzh Sargsyan of the center-right Republican Party won re-election to a second five-year term in 2013. The economy relies on manufacturing, services, remittances, and agriculture. After a brief downturn in 2009, GDP growth resumed in 2010. The eurozone financial crisis remains a drag on the economy. The government, which relies heavily on loans from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Asian Development Bank, and Russia, as well as remittances from the diaspora, is running a modest budget deficit. Rule of LawView Methodology Property Rights 30.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Freedom From Corruption 26.7 Create a Graph using this measurement Corruption plagues such critical areas as tax and customs operations, health, education, and law enforcement. Petty corruption is widespread throughout society, and anti-corruption measures have not been enforced effectively. The judicial system, hobbled by corruption and Soviet-era underdevelopment, impedes the enforcement of contracts. Protection of intellectual property rights is poor, and scores for rule of law are below average overall. Limited GovernmentView Methodology Government Spending 81.3 Create a Graph using this measurement Fiscal Freedom 86.5 Create a Graph using this measurement The top individual tax rate has risen to 26 percent, and the top corporate tax rate remains at 20 percent. Other taxes include a value-added tax (VAT) and an excise tax. The overall tax burden is 16.7 percent of domestic income. Government spending is 25 percent of domestic income, and public debt is equivalent to about 40 percent of the domestic economy. The government hopes to narrow the deficit with a large increase in tax revenue. Regulatory EfficiencyView Methodology Business Freedom 83.1 Create a Graph using this measurement Labor Freedom 78.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Monetary Freedom 77.0 Create a Graph using this measurement The regulatory framework is relatively efficient, and a broad simplification of business procedures has encouraged regulatory efficiency. The minimum capital requirement for starting a business has been eliminated, and bankruptcy procedures have been modernized. The non-salary cost of labor is moderate, but the informal labor market is sizable. State subsidies distort prices in such sectors as public transportation, electricity, and gas. Open MarketsView Methodology Trade Freedom 85.5 Create a Graph using this measurement Investment Freedom 70.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Financial Freedom 70.0 Create a Graph using this measurement Armenia has a 2.3 percent average tariff rate, and non-tariff barriers are relatively low. Bureaucratic barriers and non-transparent regulations deter foreign investment. The financial sector, dominated by banks, continues to evolve. The state no longer has a stake in any bank. The banking sector, although relatively small and fragmented, has been relatively well-capitalized and is open to foreign competition.
