There was some good news for two New Hampshire Democrats in the latest WMUR Granite State Poll released this week. U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the former Democratic governor seeking her second term in Washington, has seen a boost in her favorability rating and is leading her potential Republican rivals by double-digits, according to poll numbers released Wednesday by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center. And U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster, D-N.H., who could face a tough challenge in the second Congressional district, has also seen
During a visit with the Valley News editorial board last week, Dartmouth President Phil Hanlon made clear that he is "passionate" — and knowledgeable — about higher education and the changes ahead. The 1977 Dartmouth graduate, who went on to earn a doctorate from California Institute of Technology and serve as provost at University of Michigan, also made clear that he is a mathematician at heart who believes in the power of information technology as it helps, or threatens, to transform higher education. "IT has
Hanover Democrat Mike Cryans is going to run again for the District 1 Executive Council seat now held by Wakefield Republican Joe Kenney. Cryans, a longtime Grafton County commissioner, narrowly lost to Kenney in a March 11 special election to succeed the late Ray Burton, a Bath Republican who had held the seat for decades. Turnout was relatively low, and Cryans won 48.5 percent of the vote, falling short of Kenney, a former state senator, by 1,266 votes. "I am running again, I thought I'd

Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin this week reiterated his opposition to the Keystone XL oil pipeline, saying the proposal to carry oil extracted from tar sands in western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast would contribute to global warming. "If we can't get through our thick heads — after what we have been through as a nation in terms of weather challenges, just since (Barack) Obama has been president — that we can't afford to burn every drop of fossil fuel that we can extract from
Two mainstream New Hampshire Republicans are lining up support from some known quantities in the GOP establishment as they face primary contests this summer. Former defense contractor Walt Havenstein this week released the names of seven sitting state senators — a majority of the 13-member Republican caucus — who have endorsed him in his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan. Havenstein, the former CEO of BAE Systems, faces a primary against libertarian-leaning Republican strategist Andrew Hemingway of Bristol. But Havenstein's campaign said the state
A second Hillsborough County Republican has said he plans to run for the Newport-area New Hampshire Senate seat long held by state Sen. Bob Odell, R-New London. And a Democrat from Sunapee also acknowledged yesterday she is seriously considering a bid for the District 8 Senate seat. Weare Republican Jerry Little — the former president and executive director of the New Hampshire Bankers Association — said on Wednesday he was encouraged weeks ago by Odell to consider a run if the incumbent retired. Odell, a
Newport-area state Sen. Bob Odell, one of the most influential lawmakers in Concord over the past decade, may be facing a primary challenge from a conservative Republican. The reason: challenger J.P. Marzullo, a former Deering, N.H., selectman who is vice chairman of the New Hampshire Republican State Committee, doesn't think Odell is conservative enough. Marzullo, who referred to Odell as a "liberal senator" in his announcement, said he is especially disappointed that Odell and two other top Republican senators supported Medicaid expansion as part of
Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, the emigre from Massachusetts, is drawing most of the media attention and national Republican money in his likely run for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. But that hasn't stopped former state Sen. Jim Rubens, the Hanover Republican already in the primary, from ramping up his aggressive grassroots campaigning in recent weeks. Rubens, a centrist who has notably opposed both expanded gambling and global warming, last month met with gun rights supporters across the state to highlight his opposition to an
Massachusetts transplant Scott Brown issued a web video on Wednesday highlighting the fact that he and his wife, Gail, are traveling around New Hampshire as he explores a likely bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H. The Browns "will be traveling around this great state to introduce ourselves. To ask questions. To speak with everyone, of every background, Republicans, Independents, Democrats alike. And above all, to listen and learn," the former Bay State Republican senator said. Since being a lawmaker from New Hampshire involves
Gov. Peter Shumlin has ordered state flags across Vermont to be lowered next Wednesday through Friday to honor the late Franklin S. Billings Jr., the former Vermont House speaker and chief justice of the state Supreme Court who died Sunday in Woodstock. Billings was a monumental figure in Vermont politics, helping preside over the reapportionment of the House that made Vermont more democratic, and Democratic, even though Billings himself was Republican. The 91-year-old Billings died in the house where he was born and lived all

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the first post being one of desperation and help but I'm desperate and need help (Or so a few of my mates tell me anyway )
I've recently purchased a cracking little Escort Van (The massively powerful 55bhp not turbo variant lol) but the poor little fella is struggling to start first thing in the mornings. Once started it runs great and usually starts fine for the rest of the day.
I changed the glow plugs and this seemed to help for a bit but things have been getting progressively worse again. When trying to start the engine in the morning the engine makes a good go at turning over to the point where the whole van can shake as it's trying but then it seems to give up and makes a whirring noise as if the starter motor solenoid has retracted and is spinning by itself if that makes sense ???
So, I decided to take the starter motor out and see if there was any damage to the teeth and praying no damage to the fly wheel!!! On first inspection to the engine though I noticed a unit on the side of the engine which seems to have some hoses missing.
Leaving the task of the starter motor behind I visited a local scrap merchant who said he thought that this was the diesel preheater matrix and that it was possible that a hose was missing or it may have been replaced with a part that was not quite right and they may have blanked one of the hoses off?? Does this sound right and would it cause starting issues or am I right to carry on and look at the starter?
I've tried my best to take pics of the unit and missing hose (You can just make out where a jubilee clip was on the end of the hose)
Any pointers would be most appreciated, thanks folks :-)

Opera. Experience one of operatic literature's true masterpieces in extreme close-up. We promise you a skin-tingling experience when we go on tour with our Opera Tent!
What goes around comes around
Premiere in VÄSTRA GÖTALAND Spring 2015
On tour in Västra Götaland.
Performed in Swedish.
This story of the unhappy court jester, who tries to protect his daughter against the evils of the world and in particular against the notorious womaniser the Duke of Mantua, can be told over and over again in innovative ways.
We've always wanted to allow the audience share in the intensity of final rehearsals before a production moves to the stage. Spring 2015, we will tour the region of Västra Götaland with Verdi's Rigoletto - perfomed in a cirkus-like opera tent! In this environment you will feel skin-tingling emotions and close contact with the actors.
The title role is sung by house soloist Mats Persson, who after a number of major roles, including Macbeth, Amfortas in Parsifal and Enrico in Lucia di Lammermoor now faces the challenges of this multi-faceted figure. The Duke is portrayed by our "Italian" tenor Tomas Lind while the innocent Gilda is interpreted by rising star Sofie Asplund.
Rikard Bergqvist is a renowned director and lyricist (mainly for musicals), most recently seen on our stages writing and directing Carmencita Rockefeller - Princess of Japan. In 2009, he directed his first opera, Die Zauberflöte at The Göteborg Opera - a début that led to sold-out performances and rave reviews.
Watch a short film clip
This clip was recorded on 10 June, when the concept was presented to representatives from different councils within the region.

Worse, he says, the station preempts All Things Considered, its most popular show, for the Dade County School Board meeting once a month. "It's a no-brainer," says Bartholet. "You don't interrupt All Things Considered for the school board meeting."
Programming director Cooper acknowledges the validity of some of the criticism, but he also points to improvements. For example, the school board meeting preempts All Things Considered just once a month now instead of twice, as it used to.
"It doesn't take a genius to see that there are some aspects of our programming that should be in different places," he says. "We need to give listeners what they want to hear and look at them as customers -- rather than what they should be listening to.
WLRN's Radio Reading Service, which follows Morning Edition at 9:00 a.m. each day, exemplifies the problem of inertia at WLRN. Like many other public stations in the Seventies, WLRN introduced a program, funded with federal grant dollars, for the blind or print-handicapped. Local plans called for volunteers to read newspapers and magazines over a closed-circuit frequency. Users would tune in on special radios. But after some of the closed-circuit equipment arrived too late for the first broadcast, station managers decided to air the service for an hour per day on the main frequency rather than jeopardize funding for the entire project.
Even after the equipment showed up, the broadcasts continued for an hour per day; the closed-circuit broadcast went on the other 23 hours.
"It kind of became a cult thing for people who weren't blind or print-handicapped. They were able to get a good portion of the newspaper while driving to work," Cooper says. "And it also served as a kind of public relations function for the reading service."
These days the show isn't very popular. By the time it concludes at 10:00 a.m., the number of listeners has plummeted by 50 percent from the preceding hour, according to Arbitron. Most days WLRN's audience continues to evaporate as The Radio Reader book show gets under way, followed by 30 minutes of news in Creole. The Creole broadcast, which has been on the air since 1982, segues into school board information. The listener numbers improve greatly in the afternoon when national programming resumes.
Still, Cooper appears reluctant to cancel the reading and student-produced programs. "It's way easier to start a program that has community service value than to take it off," he says. "These programs have a place in our mission, but we're facing a changing environment."
Inertia and fear of criticism have stopped the station from making needed changes, Bartholet says. "Once you start down this path and you let it go for years, it takes a lot to change it because you know you're going to get a lot of flak. And you're probably going to get newspapers like yourself and the Miami Herald possibly writing really nasty things about the radio station. Because, 'Oh my God, they took that program off, it's for the blind, and that's just terrible, it's a community service.' And when the radio station is thinking about making those changes, they think: 'They're going to crucify us in the papers.'"
Sagastume, who took the job of general manager at WLRN television and radio in January 1996, acknowledges that he has spent most of his time on the TV station. But he says he recently commissioned a consultant, Peter Dominowski of Market Trends Research in Tampa, to consider ways of increasing listeners and members. That report is due in the next couple of months; Sagastume estimates it will take a year to implement any changes.
A Harvard University graduate with a bachelor's degree in cognitive psychology, Sagastume worked as an associate producer for the PBS series Frontline. In that job he traveled to war-ravaged Central America during the Eighties. He also worked at WFYI, a public television station in Indianapolis, where he developed regional public affairs and cultural programs, including the Emmy Award-winning series Across Indiana. Immediately before coming to WLRN, the Guatemalan native worked at WEDU, a public television station in Tampa. There he was the executive producer of the most lucrative TV fundraising special in public television history, Yanni: Live at the Acropolis. That production was followed by another pledge-drive money magnet, John Tesh: Live at Red Rocks.
"He was brought in to take us into the 21st Century, someone who really was into international production and entrepreneurial ways," explains Alan Greer, chairman emeritus of Friends of WLRN.
Since his arrival Sagastume has tried to create national recognition for WLRN-TV by co-producing specials for distribution to public stations across the country. Recently WLRN personnel worked on Tkuma: The First Fifty Years, a series on the history of Israel filmed by the Israel Broadcasting Authority that was distributed last month. Currently in the works are a ballroom dance special filmed in Vienna and a documentary about Robbie Robertson, former lead guitarist in the Band.
But two years after Sagastume's arrival, WLRN still sounds much like it did a decade ago. Sagastume has squeezed some new, 90-second local news reports into All Things Considered, but he has no plans to add a news staff for in-house research and writing. Instead, writers from the Daily Business Review prepare and deliver newscasts fed over a high-quality phone line from the paper's offices in downtown Miami. Sagastume recently began discussions with executives at the Sun-Sentinel about a similar collaboration.

We had a little back-to-school assembly today.
Near the end, it got around to the bit where you have to clap at the new teaching staff. The first people announced:
Mr. Saman (pronounced "salmon"), and his intern, Ms. Fishley.
I kid you not.
After lunch I was having one of those five-way, hallway-blocking conversations that gets people all annoyed because you're stopping the hallway traffic. One of the participants of which was one of those clever, straight, only-real-character-flaw-is-homophobia people you sometimes bump up against in school
So somebody mentioned the intern from the university that helps the art teacher, and he's all "he's a little bit hispanic (which for all we know he might be, somebody had just mentioned it) and a little bit fruit-ay", and so on and so forth, yada yada yada, blahblahblah couldn't care less if I was unconscious, et cetera, et cetera.
You could just tell he'd been sitting on that one all morning.
The man doesn't dress, speak, or express any opinions in a way that I would find even remotely, stereotypically gay, (which, really, is the only way you'll get noticed as such, especially by people like--well--most of the high school), so I'm thinkin', "How do you know!?!?"
Is it some sort of special homophobia-driven gaydar?
Do you have some deep, insightful knowledge on the nature of sexual orientation of which I know nothing?
Are you just saying that because you can?
Uck, whatever.
There was something else I wanted to talk about, but it has temporarily escaped my mind.
I do think there's a straight gaydar. I've met some guys and girls that can just like feel it, you know? Like they can tell if someone's gay or not after, even, just looking at a person. Whether they're homophobic or not, some do have a gaydar (prolly MY gaydar was given to a straight guy...damn).
" . . . The sun does not shine upon this fair earth to meet frowning eyes, depend upon it." Charles Dickens
Haha our school principal is such a pot head. At our last school assembly we were warned not to go on ''myface and spacebook." And that whenever he found out who vandalized the bathroom he would "execute them." (He meant prosecute... XD)
Don't worry. I have next to no gaydar. I just sort of give everyone a blank slate 'cause if I judge them to be gay or straight or anything in between before-hand I feel like I'm stereotyping. But a little gaydar would make life so much easier...
edit: but its okay to stereotype my principal no-prob. hehe

A survey of tourists and tour operators in the Egyptian Red Sea region shows that the industry often misperceives its clients' environmental sensitivity, putting its own business at risk. Climate change is a growing threat to the tourism industry by making destinations less attractive and jeopardizing major sources of income. The awareness of tourists towards climate change and other environmental issues is likely to be a major driver of their future holiday choices.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) recently revised the "Liquidity" booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook, which replaces a similarly titled booklet issued in February 2001. This revised booklet provides updated guidance to examiners and bankers on assessing the quantity of liquidity risk exposure and the quality of liquidity risk management. The major revisions to this booklet include the following:
In accordance with the OCC's supervision-by-risk approach, examiners will generally use the liquidity core examination procedures, which can be found in the 2010 "Community Bank Supervision" booklet and the 2010 "Large Bank Supervision" booklet in the Comptroller's Handbook. Examiners will supplement the procedures listed in these booklets, as appropriate, with the updated procedures detailed in the "Liquidity" booklet, for additional analysis of liquidity risk. With the issuance of this guidance, the following Office of Thrift Supervision guidance pertaining to liquidity risk is hereby rescinded:
The OCC's "Funds Management" booklet of the Comptroller's Handbook has also been rescinded, effective immediately. OCC Advisory Letter 2001-5, "Brokered and Rate-Sensitive Deposits," has been rescinded, while the "Joint Agency Advisory on Brokered and Rate-Sensitive Deposits" has been incorporated into the "Liquidity" booklet as an appendix.

"Everything used to be desktops, now 60% of PCs sold are laptops. Next year, tablets will outsell desktops", said Antoine Leblond, head of Windows Web Services, when speaking at the TechEd Europe conference in Amsterdam.
Leblond spent much of the rest of the presentation showcasing a number of Windows 8 features, including Windows To Go – which enables businesses to give employees a portable, encrypted version of Windows on a USB stick – and some 'Metro' tablet apps.
That being said, the Microsoft executive did give some thoughts on how touchscreens and tablets are changing PCs, even if he was eager to stress that Windows 8 runs across both desktops and tablets.
"Touch is coming to PCs and that's going to change the way UIs are designed very dramatically, just like the mouse did", said Leblond.
Microsoft announced the Surface tablet on Monday of last week, with the 10.6-inch tablet expected to compete with Apple's iPad when it comes to market later in the year. Windows 8 tablets from third-party vendors are also expected to surface towards the end of 2012.

Most students in the program are professionals in the criminal justice field working toward their degree on a part-time basis. Over the past few years there have been an increasing number of students entering the program on a full-time basis immediately after their undergraduate studies. The program can be completed in one to three years, depending on the number of classes taken per semester.
Students with a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution may apply for admission.
1. Complete the MCJ application form, including the professional goals statement, and the names and addresses of two recommendation letter requests
2. Request that a complete and official transcript from the institution granting the bachelor's degree be sent directly to the MJC program (Attn: Vickie Logan, College of Arts & Sciences). An official copy is one sent from the institution directly to St. Ambrose University. This should include any graduate course work.

lol. With this type of stat you would think we would be on the footsteps of greatness due to consistently picking high in the draft and maximizing those picks to add a ton of talent to the roster. Our 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks from those years should be ready to emerge as stars.
2009: (no first round selection), Everette Brown, Sherrod Martin and Corvey Irvin
2010: (no first round selection), Jimmy Clausen, Brandon Lafell and Armanti Edwards
2011: Cam Newton, (no second round selection), Terrell McClain, and Sione Fua
To make things a little worse, here are players of the same position- or a need that were picked after our above mentioned studs:
2009: Connor Barwin (taken 4 picks after Everette Brown)...very good player for the Texans
2009: Sean Smith (taken 2 picks after Sherrod Martin)....solid starter in the dolphins secondary
2009: Henry Melton (taken 12 picks after Corvey Irvin)....solid starter on the Bears d-line
2010: Mike Iupati (taken at our spot in the 1st by San Fran)... solid starter on the 49ers o-line
2010: Jimmy Clausen (given our QB situation, i'm not going to knock this pick)
2010: Jimmy Graham or Navorro Bowman (taken 2 and 4 picks after Armanti)....damn
I won't do 2011 yet, because it is still too early, however the 65th pick in that draft (T. McClain) iss already off the team, and the 98th pick (Brandon Hogan) is on season ending IR and has lost his position to a 5th round rookie and a 5-9" 7th round pick.
(hindsight is 20-20, blah blah blah)
This is all common knowledge yet every time I see it in writing it makes me want to puke. That is PATHETIC drafting for a team that claims to build through the draft. PATHETIC!

Rescuing Egypt's Heritage
Recent looting of Egypt's ancient treasures focused an urgent need to protect extraordinary artifacts that have withstood 5,000 years of history. Walters Curator of Ancient Art Regine Schulz will expose the dire circumstances as well as the development of formal and informal policies to protect Egypt's heritage.
Schulz was recently named Executive Director of the Roemer Plizaeus Museum in Germany.
Behind the Mask of Tutankhamun
The breathtaking gold headpiece from Tutankhamun's tomb is perhaps the best-known Egyptian artwork in the world today. Sylvan C. Coleman and Pamela Coleman Memorial Fellow in the Department of Egyptian Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Nicholas Reeves will present groundbreaking scholarship on this mask, revealing his findings on the astonishing secret of this object's original intent.

ITC to investigate Samsung, Qualcomm over Nvidia patent allegations
10/07, 8:23pm
Nvidia alleges that Qualcomm, Samsung violate seven graphics patents in devices
Video card maker Nvidia has cleared its first hurdle in a patent dispute with Samsung and Qualcomm, as the US International Trade Commission (ITC) voted to investigate complaints the GPU manufacturer filed over infringement. The ITC will evaluate if a number of possibly-infringing devices, such as the recently announced Galaxy Note 4, should be barred from entering the country. The decision stems from complaints Nvidia filed last month with the ITC and US District Court in Delaware.

Current Time
Concierge.com's insider take:
This cavernous Beaux Arts masterpiece has been the centerpiece of official Washington since it opened in 1850; in fact, Abraham Lincoln stayed here the night before his inauguration. The current version of the hotel dates back to 1901, its grandeur restored by a renovation in the late 1980s. A more recent makeovercompleted in time for the Obama inaugurationfocused on the lobby, restoring the original marble-and-wood front desk and adding a Scotch bar. Marble columns, mirrored panels, mosaic floors, and ornate chandeliers abound, along with lavish curtains and tufted settees in the 341 rooms and suites. One special suite, the Jenny Lind, has a wrought-iron canopy bed and a view of the Washington Monument from the Jacuzzi. For a true power spot, book the Jefferson Suite: It's 2,800 square feet with a dramatic entrance foyer enhanced by black-and-white marble, Aubusson rugs, and a view down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.

Wet 'n' Wild • H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil - Black Chrome • Eyeliner

Another miss for Wet N Wild. I tried to love it, but it's just not a good liner. For one thing, it is WAY too waxy to even think about blending!! It feels so waxy even on the back of my hand. I will say it has decent color payoff, though. It is hard to actually glide on to the lids, it will tug and pull. Also, as aforementioned, IT CANNOT BE BLENDED. This product also has random sparkles that are sprinkled in all throughout the pencil. I do not know if it really is 'H2O proof", I have not tested it in the water. It stays on okay, just be careful not to rub because you will get a waxy residue on your hand. It is very cheap, around $3. I'm honestly not pleased- will not be repurchasing.

I actually got this in brown. Anyway, it is a very waxy product, low on pigment. I like the smudger end and everything, but it's cheap crap. I bought it because I was broke and my eyes looked so bare and were watering....I needed waterproof. I don't think I'll throw it out, but neither will I repurchase.
Edit: due to the waxiness, this can at least be used as an eyebrow product. Smooth with brush after applying.

I went running with this on in hot, humid weather and when I came back it was smeared all over my face. This does not meet my waterproof standards for an eyeliner (granted it is cheap!) It really is no better then the regular wet n wild pencil, maybe just a little more pigmented.

Age: 25-29 Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Green
I just picked this pencil up last week, and already it's a staple in my m/u wardrobe. Black Chrome is a cream black waterproof pencil with a smudger on the other end. Personally, I only removed half of the wrapper, and haven't even used the smudger, but I use the pencil half everyday. I wanted a cheaper alternative to UD 24/7 for tightlining and occasionally lining my waterline, and this has done an amazing job. I got it for a couple bucks at Kmart and I'd buy it again. The only gripe i have is that the pencil is wayyyyy shorter than other WnW pencils, but who cares for that price? Love it.

text: Trust and believe, it is important to start and maintain these cleanings as often as required. They will save one's teeth and gums. One will really appreciate all this care when one reaches, say 50ish? I value the cleanings more than the cosmetics. There's nothing like your own, natural teeth.

Raw Edge Cutting Board
Beautiful but worthless as a cutting board
It's so beautiful - it would make a great serving tray, but as a cutting board? Definitely not.
The cutting board is not actually one piece of wood, but two piece of wood that are held together. It's sturdy in that regards, but the problem is the whole thing has a very nice, glazed color finish. When you cut on the board, it cuts into the wood and leaves the cutting board with various scratches and cuts that are a completely different color. I wish they hadn't given it a color finish, because it makes the cuts and scratches on the cutting board very noticeable and looks as if it's defected. It's so easily scratched that my fingernails have scratche it by accident.
This is a terrible cutting board, but it's a very pretty serving platter.

How to Apply
Pay For College
WHEN am I required to pay my fees?
2014-15 fees deadlines: Fall 2014 - July 10, 2014 Winter 2015 - November 13, 2014 Spring 2015 - April 2, 2015
You need to have either paid your full year fees, installment payment, deferral or made payment arrangements with us by that date. For later applicants (after mid-June) you will be given a fees due date based on a combination of factors including the date you applied, the date you confirmed and the length of time remaining before school begins. Your due date(s) if different from above will be identified on your student account in the slc.me student portal.
How do I know how much to pay?
The exact and total amount of fees owing is specified on your personal fee account in the student portal: slc.me. Fees will be available in the portal mid-June. You can also review the fee schedules here.
When will I receive access to the student portal to view my fees?
First year applicants will receive access to the student portal, slc.me, mid-June so long as they have applied and have confirmed their offer by that date. Later applicants will receive access to the portal based on the dates that they applied and confirmed their seat in their program. Returning students will be able to view the fees on their account mid-June. All applicable due dates are indicated above.
Please pay careful attention to the fees due date. St. Lawrence College has several fee payment options (below) for you to choose from. To retain your offer of a seat, you must pay your fees or make fee payment arrangements by the due date. You do not have a seat in a program until you have met your payment obligations.
What if I can't find my slc.me login information? Your login information will be sent to the email that you used when you applied to St. Lawrence College. Please check that email address for the username and initial password.
What methods of payment do you accept? PLEASE NOTE: For details on residence requirements, please refer to your residence contract.
PLEASE NOTE: We do not accept cash payments or uncertified personal cheques.
What are my fee payment options?
Full Year Payment: Make the full payment when fees are due in July and avoid the $35.00 Installment Fee for deferred payments.
Pay by Installments (or by semester): Fees for a two semester program can be paid in two installments; the first installment is due by July 10, 2014 and the second is due by November 13, 2014. If your program of study has an additional third semester, the third installment is due April 2, 2015. A one time Installment Fee of $35 will be charged in your second semester only if you select any of the installment options.
OSAP Deferral Payment: If you're taking 60% or more of a full course load, you can apply for OSAP. A person with a disability is a full-time student if he/she is taking at least 40% of a full course load. Complete the OSAP Full-Time Application. **It is important that you apply for OSAP early so you are aware of the amount of loan/grant funding that you are eligible to receive. Please note that it can take up to 10 weeks from the time you apply for OSAP to receive an assessment. Students receiving government student loans (OSAP) may have their tuition fees deducted from their fall and winter loan payments. Students are required to pay an OSAP deferral payment of $250 by their fee due date in order to take advantage of this payment deferral option. To be eligible to make the $250 OSAP deferral payment, you must have completed the OSAP application. If you are using the "make the payment" feature in the slc.me portal- payments should be applied to your fall tuition.
What happens if I pay my full time tuition late?
Your offer may be cancelled! All new applicants and returning students (particularly in high demand/oversubscribed programs) risk losing their seat if payment is not received by the applicable due date of July 10, 2014. It is your responsibility to ensure your payment is received at St. Lawrence College by the due date(s). If your offer is cancelled as a result of any late payment and we are able to reinstate your offer in the program, a late fee of $60 will be charged.
Can I set up a payment plan to pay my tuition?
St. Lawrence College understands that there will be a few exceptional cases where students will not be able to meet the standard payment requirements. If you are not eligible for OSAP or government funding and are having financial difficulty you may discuss with a Financial Aid Officer your eligibility for a payment plan arrangement. You must complete the Student Tuition Payment Plan form and hand in any supporting documents along with the form to the Financial Aid Office before the tuition due date. Your application will be reviewed within three business days and you will be contacted with the decision. If you are approved you will be required to sign a Tuition Payment Agreement which outlines the details of your payment schedule and obligations. For more information click here.
What if I am a sponsored student?
An authorization letter on official letterhead is required in order for St. Lawrence College to bill your sponsor directly. The letter must include the amount being sponsored, the program of study, the name(s) and student number(s) of the student(s) being sponsored as well as an explanation of any items not covered by the sponsor. If the sponsor is not covering all tuition and compulsory ancillary fees it is the responsibility of the student(s) to pay any outstanding charges. This letter must be presented to the Academic School in Kingston, or Student Services in Brockville and Cornwall before the due date.
What if I have an RESP?
A verification of enrolment is available in the student portal slc.me. This form can be printed and submitted to your RESP provider. An RESP form cannot be submitted in lieu of payment. Students with RESP forms are still responsible to pay their tuition by the July 10, 2014 due date. RESP scholarships are issued directly to the student.
What other costs will there be to attend college?
Textbooks, supplies, materials and uniforms vary in cost depending on the program of study. Most of those items are available through the College bookstore on your campus. Other details including the cost of supplies and kits are available from your Academic School or the Coordinator of your program. Usually this information will be supplied to you ahead of time by way of correspondence or at the beginning of the term along with your Course Outlines.
Residence costs will range from $600 - $1,000 per month depending on occupancy and campus. Click here for more Residence details.
Kingston Campus students receive a Kingston Transit bus pass included in their full time tuition. This allows for unlimited use of the transit system as long as they are a full time student. Brockville and Cornwall students will need to budget in transportation costs along with their expenses.
Off campus housing will vary depending on availability. Your Student Representation on each campus can assist with this.
Be sure to budget for other monthly expenses which may include food, transportation, parking, entertainment and spending money.
How do I find out about Scholarships and Bursaries?
Through the generosity of many companies and individuals, St. Lawrence College has a number of annual awards available to students and graduates. Students demonstrating a proficiency or potential in a variety of disciplines can win these awards. The awards are presented during the final fall awards banquet and at convocation. Candidates are selected by faculty as well as student nomination and the winners are chosen by the campus awards committee.
There are a number of other bursaries available to qualifying students from numerous agencies and organizations. Students who meet the criteria for these awards are invited to apply. For more information regarding Scholarships and Bursaries click here. Complete listings of awards are available here.
How do I apply for OSAP?
Each year over 200,000 post secondary students receive over $1.6 billion in financial assistance from the Ontario Government through the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP). The entire process including the application and assessment can take up to 10 weeks so we strongly encourage you to apply early. More details on applying for OSAP as well as all OSAP related questions and information can be found at www.osap.gov.on.ca.
What if my OSAP funding does not cover all of my tuition?
Your 1st tuition installment can be deducted from your 1st OSAP funding installment if you have authorized us to do so on your OSAP application. The 2nd and, if applicable, 3rd tuition installment amounts will be similarlily deducted from your subsequent OSAP funding installments. It's important to check your SLC account on slc.me within the first 10 days of classes each semester to ensure your tuition is paid in full. If your OSAP funding does not cover your tuition installment for each semester, or if we're unable to deduct your tuition from your funding, it remains your responsibility to pay any outstanding fees.
What if I have alternative medical/dental coverage elsewhere?
The student health plan is paid once per academic year and is included in the full time fees paid for in your first term. Click here for more detail.
If you have proof of alternative coverage you may choose to "opt-out" of the Student Health Fees. Opt-out forms are found on-line at: www.wespeakstudent.com during the opt-out period. OPT-OUT dates are as follows and are strictly adhered to: - For fall students – Sept 1-30 by 4pm - For new winter students only – Jan 1 to 31 by 4pm - For new summer students only – May 1 to 31 by 4pm Students can opt-out of Health, Dental, and/or Vision however to opt-out of Health and/or Dental, proof of coverage elsewhere is required. No proof of coverage elsewhere is required to opt-out of Vision. All opt-outs are done on-line.
International students cannot opt out of the International Health Insurance.
What if I don't want to use the Fitness Pass or Bus Pass, can I get a refund?
All full time ancillary fees are compulsory and do not have an "opt-out" option with the exception of the Health Insurance Fees (see above). In order to facilitate these services for our students at a reduced rate they are included among the full time compulsory ancillary fees that have been agreed upon by your Student Governments, Fee Protocol committee and the St. Lawrence College Board of Governors.
How much does it cost to attend school part time?
The part time hourly rate for credit courses is $6.84 per scheduled course hour for the 2014-15 academic year. This does not include any materials, lab fees or textbooks if applicable.

Directed by: Antoine Fuqua
Written by: Creighton Rothernberger & Katrin Benedikt
Gerard Butler
Aaron Eckhart
Morgan Freeman
Melissa Leo
Robert Forster
Angela Bassett
Dylan McDermott
Ashley Judd
Rick Yune
Running Time: 120 minutes
The antipasto = Synopsis
After a tragic accident, Secret Service agent Mike Banning (Gerard Butler) is removed from his Presidential detail. When Korean terrorists initiate a surprise assault on the White House and take the President (Aaron Eckhart) and members of his staff as hostages, agent Banning finds himself back in the White House. Using his knowledge of the location, experience as an agent and military expertise, Banning tries to keep the acting Administration informed of the situation while trying to avoid a historic national disaster.
The primo = Acting/Directing
Gerard Butler's career has been all over the map as of late. He's starred in films that have been unseen (Coriolanus), underrated (Law Abiding Citizen, inspirational (Chasing Mavericks) and unnecessary (Playing For Keeps). A career that looked extremely promising after his breakthrough starring role in 300 seemed to have run its course. In Olympus Has Fallen Butler gets his career back on track by doing his best John McClane impersonation, and does it extremely well. Butler has a certain believability about him in the role of a secret service agent with a special-ops background, and that is what makes Olympus Has Fallen stand out among typical action films. Similar to the way Bruce Willis was believable as the everyday cop from New York in Die Hard.
Aaron Eckhart's President Benjamin Asher exudes confidence during a dire situation, and it's Eckert that lends credence to the character he was perfectly cast to portray. Over the past 20 years we've seen my depictions of the President of the United States. Kevin Kline was the caring impersonator who stands in for an unpopular President in Dave, Harrison Ford did an admirable job as a President who fought back in Air Force One, and Morgan Freeman was the voice of reason in rebuilding the country in Deep Impact.
Speaking of one of the all-time greatest actors, Morgan Freeman plays Speaker Trumbull who is forced to stand in as the acting President. Although nothing more than a supporting character in Olympus Has Fallen, if ever there was an actor who presence provides credibility to a film, without a doubt it's Morgan Freeman.
The rest of the supporting cast is nothing to sneeze at either. Oscar winner Melissa Leo plays Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan, once Oscar nominated Robert Forster plays General Edward Clegg, and once Oscar nominated Angela Bassett plays Secret Service Director Lynn Jacobs. Ashley Judd, Dylan McDermott and Rick Yune are equally well cast in their respective roles.
Although not often mentioned in the same breath as some of today's best directors, Antoine Fuqua has established himself as an excellent director. His resume includes some very respectable films such as Training Day, Tears of the Sun and Brooklyn's Finest. Fuqua may not be an Oscar winning director, but he most certainly deserves a fair amount of respect. I for one appreciate the effort he puts into making a film, and will be certain to pay closer attention to films that he releases.
The contorno = Sight and Sound
Olympus Has Fallen is a typical action movie; there are plenty of explosions, gun fights and dialogue exchanges between the hero and the villain. Obviously taking place in Washington, D.C. there are a few shots of the surrounding monuments, but thankfully it isn't over done. The sequences that take place inside the White House, which is where the film predominately takes place, however are shot too dark and I would have appreciated a brighter picture to fully take in the destruction. The action scenes not only sound great, but they aren't just included for effect because of how big the explosions are and how loud the devastation can be, everything is done with a purpose to further the story.
The dialogue in Olympus Has Fallen is pretty good and is delivered in an effective way, which is a testament to the cast in place. There are a few interactions between characters that are entertaining and reminiscent of 90's action movies such as Commando, Rambo and Die Hard; and the comparisons to Die Hard don't stop there.
The secondo = My Thoughts
In my opinion, Die Hard is the greatest action movie of all-time and has been imitated countless times and that should be taken as high-praise. If you're going to copy something, you might as well copy the best. Olympus Has Fallen is a definite re-imagining of Die Hard, but it's a damn good one. In all honesty, this is what I wanted out of the disappointing A Good Day to Die Hard.
The film is definitely not without flaws, as is often the case there's a certain suspension of belief that's needed. A few questionable things, such as a Secret Service agent that was removed from his post at the White House somehow still able to easily gain access seems a bit impossible but it's not enough to cause you to find disappointment. Olympus Has Fallen rises above the flaws and ends up an enjoyable and entertaining film.

They have traveled the world bringing potable water to people where ever they go. They have drilled wells in Nicaragua and other Central American countries. They have drilled wells in Iraqi villages and on U.S. and Coalition bases in Afghanistan.
Their efforts have saved lives.
And that may just be what drives the Soldiers of the 247th Engineers (Well Drillers) of the Connecticut Army National Guard.
"We offer clean, potable water to schools and villages that don't have it or the ability to get it," said Staff Sgt. Ronald Smith, a section sergeant who has been with the unit for 17 years. A Veteran of many of the unit's overseas missions and deployments, he explained that many of the countries the unit has gone to have water that is infected with viruses and bacteria. Putting in wells in these areas has helped "reduce the infant mortality rate" in those areas.
The well had been intended for use by Soldiers and Airmen using the training facility, but it had never gone operational and needed to be rehabilitated according to detachment commander Sgt. 1st Class Ernesto Rios Soto.
The Soldiers, all heavy equipment operators, some with the well driller additional skill identifier, spent most of the first week of their annual training at the site using the LP12 Army Well Drilling rig to clean out the well. The rig has a 600-foot drilling capacity.
"We push pressurized air into the well to clean the hole," said Staff Sgt. Devin Cowperthwaite. "The pressurized air will blow the water and sludge up out of the hole. We use super chlorination pumped into the hole and then continue to blow the hole to rid it of the bleach. Once that is done, the medics test the water to see if it is clear of the chlorination and other contaminates. Once they have tested it, the water company will perform follow-on tests before the well is approved for use."
Smith has been on well drilling missions in Nicaragua, Iraq and Afghanistan, among other places. He was with the unit when they deployed to the U.S. border to assist the Border Patrol in building roads and walls along the Arizona and California borders. He was in Iraq when the unit provided a well to the northern Iraq village of Bezgirtan. The village had been without running water for 18 years.
The Bezgirtan well was the fourth the unit had been tasked with during their 2003 deployment. They began the project on Aug. 25 and completed it 12 days later. The plan had been to drill just over 300 feet, but after drilling only 140 feet, the well was already producing several hundred gallons of water per minute.
Unit members also took an interest in the village school, which was in shambles. Most of the windows were broken, there was no running water and the classrooms were full of dirt and broken glass.
The unit asked its supervisors to come take a look at the school and convinced them to help rehabilitate the school as well.
The unit is also capable of providing humanitarian aid at home in the case of natural disasters such as hurricanes or floods.
"We have the ability to rehabilitate existing wells and to drill new wells where needed," said Smith.
Members of the 247th willingly share their stories of success. They are proud of what they do, whether overseas or at home. They are a close-knit unit and very eager to explain their work to anyone who stops by. They work as a team and share their knowledge with each other as was evident during the mission at Stone's Ranch.
Cowperthwaite explained that Spc. Michael Lindia and Spc. Michael Frazer were first timers to this particular phase of well drilling. Fellow unit members watched as the specialists turned wrenches, worked controls and pulled up the first section of steel that connects to the drill bit.
As it came up, other unit members prepared equipment to grab the bottom of the steel and run it out from the rig.
The first time operators and the experienced operators worked together seamlessly to complete the task.
The LP12 Army Well Drilling rig being used by the 247th is a relatively new piece of equipment, not only to the 247th, but also to the Army inventory. Cowperthwaite said the 247th has guys with a great deal of experience in the field of well drilling and that three members of the - Smith, Frazer and Spc. Roberto Falcon - went to Ohio to assist in writing the training manual for the new rig.
Rios Soto expected the unit would complete the Stone's Ranch well rehabilitation project before the end of the annual training period.
Members of the 247th travel the world bringing potable water to villages in need. This particular mission saw them serve another village - their own.

State to Suspend Sales Tax Exemption on Clothing and Footwear
By Ben Fractenberg on September 28, 2010 1:48pm
By Ben Fractenberg
DNAinfo Reporter/Producer
MANHATTAN — You might want to go on that shopping spree a little early.
From this Friday, Oct. 1, through March 30, 20011, the state is ending its sales tax exemption on clothing items less than $110. Shoppers can expect to pay a 4 percent tax on all clothing and footwear.
Starting March 31, 2011, the sales tax exemption will be reinstated for clothes under $55, with the full exemption being fully restored on April 1, 2012.
The clothing tax, along with an increased tax on cigarettes, is expected to raise roughly $500 million for state coffers, according to Governor Paterson.

It's starting to make me physically ill when I watch Obama give a speech. I've noticed that with increased frequency, he is doing this "look down his nose" thing with a slight frown, after making what he thinks is a powerful comment.
I don't like it and it is most definitely a dead giveaway to how arrogant he is.
I wish I could have googled up a better picture but this is what I'm talking about.

New York Metropolitan Museum of Art receives $1bn donation
Continue reading the main storyNew York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has received a $1bn (£650m) donation of Cubist art from cosmetics executive Leonard Lauder.
The heir to the Estee Lauder fortune has pledged 78 works - considered one of the foremost collections of Cubism in the world.
It includes pieces from Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Juan Gris and Fernand Leger, amassed over 37 years.
Museum director Thomas Campbell said the gift was "truly transformational".
In a statement, Lauder, 80, said his gift was for "the people who live and work in New York and those from around the world who come to visit our great arts institutions".
The Met said it had previously "lacked" early 20th Century art, but with Lauder's donation it would be at the forefront of world collections.
"We have long lacked this critical dimension in the story of modernism. Now, Cubism will be represented with some of its greatest masterpieces," Campbell said.
The collection "distinguished by its quality, focus, and depth," includes 33 Picassos, 17 works by Braque and 14 by Gris and Leger.
Lauder built it up over nearly four decades, telling the story of a movement that revolutionised modern art and paved the way for abstraction.
"I selected the Met as the way to share this collection because I feel that it's essential that Cubism - and the art that follows it, for that matter - be seen and studied within the collections of one of the greatest encyclopaedic museums in the world," he said.
Like many of the world's leading museums, The Met was founded on great philanthropic gifts. Perhaps the most famous donation came from the estate of one of the institution's earliest Presidents, the American banker J Pierpont Morgan (JP Morgan).
He was a knowledgeable and enthusiastic collector of art, who acquired works on the basis that "No price is too high for an object of unquestioned beauty and known authenticity".
Judging by the quality of Cubist works donated by Leonard Lauder, he collected in a similar spirit. It is not the biggest donation, but it is one of the most significant.
The collection is thought to be worth around 13% of Lauders' personal fortune according to Forbes magazine which it said "enshrines him in the pantheon of the most generous philanthropists of all time".
Meanwhile, letters written by J D Salinger to a spiritual mentor have been donated to The Morgan Library and Museum in Manhattan.
The Catcher in the Rye author wrote 28 letters to Swami Nikhilananda, founder of the Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Centre, which donated the correspondence.
Salinger, who died in 2010 aged 91, was strongly influenced by Eastern religion and philosophy and mentioned Vivekananda in his story Hapworth 16, 1924.
The Morgan Museum now holds 52 letters written by Salinger in its collection.

Best New Gardening Tools for the Money Video
The right tools can make planting and cutting much easier. Good Housekeeping recommends the best new products.
Gardening can be relaxing or a chore. It all depends on the tools. When the Good Housekeeping Research Institute had gardeners try out new pruners, shovels, and sows they found big differences.

We found that something like the ratchet pruner, which we thought we could use with one hand was actually too wide and we had to use two hands in order to cut. We also found that this head shear when left out, corroded very quickly.

For small clippings, Good Housekeeping recommends that the Fiskars Florist Bypass Pruner. It cut flowers and trimmed down plants in no time.

I like the weight, and best thing is it's excellent to choose to carry the same time.

The lightweight too light sifting shovel performed well sifting dirt, compose, and pit, and testers said that Fiskars Lop and Saw hacked through branches with little arm fatigue. I'm Terry Anzur for Good Housekeeping reports.

Motörhead: 2011-03-10
03/06/11 || sly
A few months ago, I found myself in wild Arizona: the land of luscious Lynda Carter and libidinous Phoenix Marie. Incidentally, it is also my native territory. What can I say? Arizona's production of hot babes is a well-kept secret.
A couple of good friends and I were about to set out on a road trip up the Pacific Coast Highway. We planned to stop in Big Sur, San Francisco, the Redwood Forest, Portland, Astoria (where "The Goonies" was filmed), Seattle, and many more such places.
But first stop: Tempe, Arizona for the Motörhead gig. We Arizonans like to start things with a bang (a philosophy off of which our lovely Phoenix Marie based an entire career).
The selected venue was great for a show like this. Capacity is approximately 1000 standing room, making it fairly easy to get right up to the front.
Valient Thorr opened the show. I'd never seen them before and I was pleasantly surprised. The Thorr boys rocked their asses off whilst Valient Himself ricocheted all over the stage like a manatee on crack. He may have more sweaty beer gut than head hair, but he performs with the energy of a ten-year-old kid… on crack.
Clutch was next. It made for a slightly awkward momentum, but they delivered a damn good set. "50,000 unstoppable watts" and "Immortal" made it onto the setlist, as well as a cover of Cream's "Politician", the latter for which Motörhead's own guitarist Phil Campbell came out and joined them on the stage.
The opening bands had done their job well; Arizona was fueled and ready for Lemmy. The zeptosecond their eyeballs caught a glimpse of hot, curvaceous mole the audience ruptured in synchronous climax, spewing venomous scorpion semen into the air. Phoenix Marie stood in the center, chin up and mouth open, and effortlessly swallowed it all down in one formidable gulp.
Unimpressed, Lemmy ignored it and said, "We are Motörhead. We play rock and roll." Appropriately, they burst instantly into "We are Motörhead".
They played a respectable mix of old and new, maintained a steadfast pace all throughout, and stopped only once to take some hefty swigs from their personal bottles of liquor.
I tried to snap a few photos, but truthfully I was too busy knocking fat, soggy behemoths back into the mosh circle (I possessed a nice array of bruises for the next couple weeks).
About half way through, Mikkey Dee treated us to his spectacular ten-minute drum solo. It was pretty fucken magical.
They ended with "Ace of spades" which sent the crowd into spasms, then walked off the stage. After the typical yelling and cheering, of course they came back out, giving us "Overkill". It was a smashing show but, as usual, I was left wanting more. At any rate, it was the perfect kindling for our blazing trip into the Northwest.

Here is the real distinction between a warlock and a wizard. A warlock is an ancient spiritual leader and protector (Ward) of the people's customs, their bonds (lock/religions =same things, meaning bonds) and this includes having a deep knowledge of things of the sacred, ancient lore passed on orally, etc. like many of the modern northern and Arctic based cultures that still exist today such and Noaidi of the Sami people, etc. A wizard was (Wis=Wise/Ard =Art/Craft) simply a term 15th century term for a Scholar/Sage/Philosopher, and hence a teacher and early scientist involved with things like alchemy, botany, astrology, etc. and therefore served also as a court adviser. They were compared to a witan, that had the same meaning of "wise one" and also a masculine word.
Warlocks and witches were part of the same team, as it were ("witch" from "wicce" that was pronounced "wich" and sometimes rendered wicche, wycht, wicht, etc.) which means twist and bend, in reference to ceremonial dancers and a feminine word while warlock is a masculine. An example of such ceremonial dances involving twisting and bending is expressed in the image of women in a maypole dance, as well as other ritual dances to entertain both the observers and the powers that be and even those that helped put one into a trance state to commune with the divinities.
Think of a warlock as singing the songs calling forth these powers and the witches' rites drawing them near. One grabs the attention while the other entertains. Both working together than are compelling interactions with the holy ones (haligar). This is also still practiced among ancient cultures we see today. It's all pretty simple.
P.S. A witch doctor, which was a term created in the 1700's for a fake doctor, was also used as a term for a witch hunter and was never used in a positive light, and far more derogatory in meaning and application as a term. Peace.

KA rear drum abs sensor question?
Ford Owners Club - Ford Forums
Ford Models
Ford KA / StreetKA Club
April 5, 2009, 9:09 am
Hi, I have a 2005 KA 1.3 which is missing the rear sensor rings off the inside of the drum. I called ford and ordered two replacement rings but the ones that arrived appear to be too big. They are smooth and appear to be magnetic. I have checked on an older abs equipped fiesta with the same size drums and that has a bumpy (corrugated) sensor fitted which is the same size as I appear to need. Have ford given me the wrong part or is something amiss. At present the abs light is on due to no signal from the rear sensors. Will the old style ring fit my car or does the abs work differently on the later cars. There are 2 different electrical sensors listed for pre and post 2004. Any help gratefully received.
April 5, 2009, 2:16 pm
the rings were altered in 2004 if your rings are too big it looks like ford has given you the wrong set. your car might have been built pre 2004 but not registered untill 2005. your vin number should tell fords when it was manufactored.

June Manga/DMP Yaoi 1: Almost Crying, Time Lag, Yellow, Little Butterfly, Il Gatto Sul G
Posted in Manga Reviews on June 4, 2006 by Johannapublished by Digital Manga
Digital Manga Publishing was kind enough to send me a variety of their titles to sample. Here's some brief reactions to some of their yaoi titles, many published under their June imprint.
I should say upfront that I don't consider myself a fan of the genre. I don't understand the appeal, so it's to be taken for granted that these titles are a hard sell for me. I tried to approach them with an open mind, and I appreciated the chance to try a variety of examples. Fans of yaoi may see something else in them.
Almost Crying — A bad choice for a first start, since this title seems aimed at a specialty audience that I don't want to think about. In the various short stories it contains, boys who look like children (although supposedly in high school) fall in love with their supervisor or an adoptive brother or some other older figure, and they call their crushes "mister" or "sir". In one particularly creepy tale, a boy falls in love with a younger boy who looks just like his favorite (girl) doll. Disturbing.
Time Lag — I think this is more shonen-ai than yaoi, since there's a lack of physical affection shown. (Same goes for the above, too, except for one page of merman sex jokes.) The school setting of this one seemed more interesting to me, except I thought all of the characters looked too much alike, so I kept confusing who was who.
There's a photographer with a crush on a track star, and the photographer's editor makes a play for him to distract him when he's turned down by the runner. The plot isn't the point, though — instead, there's lots of internal monologues about longing and emotional confusion. The "time lag" of the title refers to a letter delivered three years later that creates an artifical misunderstanding that's easily resolved. I found it boring.
Yellow Book 1 — Goh and Taki are roommates because they share a job, that of drug courier. Goh's gay and Taki's straight, but the reader quickly gets the idea that, as with any "will they or won't they" pairing, it's only a matter of time until the two admit their feelings for each other and fall into bed together.
The title comes from the symbol of a yellow light, meaning "proceed but with caution". If looked at closely, the art can be a bit less than polished, but it's got attitude to carry it through. I like that there's more to this series than just the attraction between the two; there's story to ground the characters and round them out. There's also a lot of teasing between the two; if they were male/female, it'd be Moonlighting or a similar mystery/romance. Easily best of the bunch.
Little Butterfly Book 1 — A schoolboy makes friends with the class outcast, a boy with a troubled family situation, and they develop a relationship. A very quick read, slight and forgettable.
Il Gatto Sul G Book 1 — A soft-hearted guy, the kind who brings home stray cats, adopts a bleeding boy from the street who turns out to be a famous violinist with a split personality. I'm told that this kind of story is quite common in the yaoi genre, throwing the characters together in a situation where they start with a bond of sympathy and indebtedness.
In this case, the older kid helps the high schooler stand up to the authority figures around him who already know what he's supposed to turn out to be. He can't resist feeling like he's helping to heal the obviously damaged younger boy. I like the soft watercolor cover and the thick white paper pages (instead of the typical newsprint), but the story didn't keep my attention. It just felt too generic and predictable.
All of these titles are bigger than the usual manga digest and have slipcovers. All are priced at $12.95 each.

Former male model Nico Schwanz came first in the men's section while Annett Schnadelbach, 30, sloped off with the women's trophy.
"It was freezing out there and you feel like you're going very, very fast because of the wind whistling through every bit of your body," said Ms Schnadelbach.
"But it was certainly fun warming up again afterwards."
