Government & Politics Someday the Area Transportation Authority could run much more than buses The ATA is a government unto itself. It can sell revenue bonds to finance any transportation project it wants. It could build office buildings and roads. It could theoretically run Kansas City International Airport. Recent discussions about the ATA's bistate compact have local officials brainstorming the possibilities.
Government & Politics Walker scores with conservatives; Bush still has work to do In the conservative conference's search for a rising star, Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin comes closest. He has momentum with conservatives. Ted Cruz and Rand Paul have the passion. And Jeb Bush still faces widespread skepticism that's not going away.
Government & Politics Dems call GOP Homeland Security strategy a political blunder Democrats are losing some skirmishes over the Department of Homeland Security, but many feel they are winning a political war that will haunt Republicans in 2016 and beyond.
Government & Politics Auditor Tom Schweich's apparent suicide continues to shake Missouri politics Campaign events were canceled Friday. So was a planned trade mission by Gov. Jay Nixon to Cuba. A replacement for Schweich was named, but only on a temporary basis. And the Missouri Republican Party's chairman worked to dispel rumors that he had engaged in a whisper campaign targeting Schweich's religion — a charge Schweich made to reporters by telephone just moments before allegedly taking his own life.
Government & Politics Missouri's planned Rock Island Trail gets a federal boost Missouri's proposed Rock Island Trail crossed a major milestone recently when a federal agency opened the way for converting 144 miles of an abandoned railroad corridor for use as a hiking and biking trail.
Local Columnists Steve Kraske: Do we expect too much of our politicians? We may never know what caused two-term Missouri auditor Tom Schweich to kill himself in a move that rocked his home state and greatly saddened it too. But we know this: The pressure on our public servants, day in and day out, can be extraordinary. Few are built for the trade.
Government & Politics Kansas House, Senate approve teacher bargaining bills Kansas legislators appear to be embracing a compromise proposal to rewrite the rules for collective bargaining between teachers' unions and school boards, rather than measures that would dramatically narrow such contract negotiations.

Raytown schools defy digital sign limits in Kansas City Kansas City officials, neighborhood leaders and representatives of schools and churches have tried for months to negotiate new rules for digital signs that everyone can accept.

Government & Politics Some Kansas senators ask if opportunity zones are the best way to help rural areas Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, a Shawnee Republican, said senators need a "bigger picture" to evaluate whether the program is striking the right balance in fostering public vs. private growth. The program, which covers 77 counties, provides incentives such as student loan forgiveness and waived income taxes to persuade people to move to rural areas.

Hello my feminine lovely! A question I've been asked many times by women; "How can I tell if he's USING me?' Another question I'm asked is; "What are the SIGNS that a man is using you?"
Before answering, I'll ask them; "What's your intuition telling you?"
I always ask that question because the sense or feeling that you're being used/taken advantage of by a man, is usually a major telling sign in itself.
Moreover, if you have an intuitive sense or feeling that you're being used by a man, your feelings are usually fairly accurate.
**Too often a woman is either ignoring her intuition/gut instincts in regards to a man using her, or denying her feelings altogether.
Could the man in your life, the man you care about, be using you?
Do you sense that he's using you?
If you answered "'yes" to the question, the fact of the matter is that you're probably being used by him.
Here's some facts about a man using a woman...
A man either looks at a woman as a TEMPORARY companion (such as 'booty call'/'friend with benefits,') or he'll be looking at her as a girlfriend/future wife (a woman who he's committed to.)
A man who's USING a woman is never thinking about having a real relationship with her, or about devoting himself wholeheartedly to her.
A man who's using a woman is simply looking for a brief fling where he can take advantage of her sexually, financially, or both.
In other words...
She's just a convenience.
How can you ACCURATELY determine whether a man is using you or not?
Furthermore, what are the tell-tale signs that a man is using you?
Signs that a man is using you - failing to show a genuine interest
When a man is using you;
He fails to show a genuine interest in getting to KNOW you on a deeper level (learning about your dreams, passions, childhood experiences...)
He doesn't ask many 'get to know you' questions.
He rarely asks you about your family and/or children.
He shows little interest in you mind and emotions, and only wants to get physical with you.
How to tell if he is using you - signs that a man is using you - no effort to please you
When a man is using you;
He doesn't make an effort to please or surprise you, and never goes out of his way to please or surprise you.
Unless asked, he doesn't do things to help you.
He won't buy you flowers, chocolates or gifts (if his pay packet allows it.)
If he does buy you gifts, it's always related to sex (like lingerie.)
How to tell if he is using you - signs that a man is using you - lack of affection
When a man is using you;
He's not very affectionate when it comes to kissing, cuddling, gazing into your eyes...
He never holds your hand in public.
He doesn't 'make love' to you, it's always just sex.
During intercourse, he's not intent on pleasing you.
Following intercourse, he goes a little cold, and gives you excuses for leaving.
How to tell if he is using you - signs that a man is using you - little/no concern or interest
When a man is using you;
He doesn't show enough concern or interest, and a genuine concern or interest, in your thoughts, feelings, desires.
He's selfish.
The concern/interest in your 'relationship' isn't mutual.
Expectations in the relationship seem to be based on his desires, terms and conditions.
You find that you have to initiate conversation.
He never seems that interested in how your day has gone.
When you talk together about your day, the focus is mainly on his day, him, his concerns.
When you try to turn the conversation back onto yourself, he always turns the conversation back onto him, to what he wants to talk about.

JoyceAustin TxHairDark BrownOily HairFine or Thin HairRich Beautiful Shades Of CaramelI absolutely LOVE this product. If your hair is dark brown and you would like it to shine and have a beautiful multidimensional look this is for you. I wish it lasted longer than one night!posted Oct 17, 2012Link to this post
MillyHighlights - Wash And WearI like the color I bought - caramel. They look fairly natural once you get them on; however, it is messy applying it on. The brush it comes with is not practical. Actually, it can be rough on your hair, and it's not evenly distributed. I don't recommend using the brush it comes with. It should come with a comb. I take my comb and run it through the brush, where the foam is generated from once you squeeze the nozzle. Then I comb it through sections of my hair. Sometimes you have to do it a couple of times to get it from top to bottom. If it wasn't for the color, I would probably not recommend it. Your hands will look like you spray painted them gold. Luckily, it washes off your hands easily. It's good for me as I don't want the damage from the bleach. Everything has a price I suppose. : /posted Apr 4, 2012Link to this post

Story, Character and Animation Masterclass with artists from Pixar
VanArts and Pixar Animation Studios are coming to London for a 3 day event this coming August, offering you a fantastic opportunity to learn from a Pixar Story Artist, Pixar Art Designer and Pixar Animator.
Welcome to the wonderful world of compositing!
Looking to learn something new? If that's the case, then we have two webinars coming soon that deserve your attention. Both webinars range from beginner friendly, to the more advanced, where NUKE operators can learn more about how to apply Python to their projects. Both webinars are at either end of the spectrum, concentrating on the art of compositing in all its different forms. So to get a better understanding of skilful compositing, make sure you tune in for either or both presentations.
Last Chance to Book! VFX Taster Classes Start Soon...
The one-day VFX taster classes kick off a week on Monday. If this is something you want to participate in, make sure to book your place soon. For anyone considering taking the first step into a career in VFX, this is your chance to get a practical insight into what it's like to study with us.
Compositing Project: Enchanting Rupert
A few weeks back, August 14th, we said our farewells to another class of Compositing graduates, ready to embark on a professional career in VFX. An exciting day for all involved, we had the opportunity to check out their end of course projects. Presented to tutors as well as fellow students, each project got some constructive feedback from the pros on where improvements could be made, and where their talents excelled.
New Additional VFX Course Dates for January!
Due to the unprecedented demand for our 12 Week Visual Effects Production courses we have just opened up another VFX classroom for January! Having filled the two existing January dates so quickly, and while we are still receiving enquires for these courses, we wanted to give as many people as possible the opportunity to start with us in January.
Check Out the Work of Our Character Animation Students
Character Animation can be a tricky business. The industry is full of talented, creative people who are passionate and dedicated about what they do and this means they often have lengthy careers at the same company they first started out at. So, getting your first break can be tough because when those job opportunities arise, standards are high and so are expectations. Your work really does have to stand out.
New February VFX Course Dates & Exciting News About Houdini
Due to unprecedented demand for our 12-week Visual Effects Production and 18-week Visual Effects Professional courses, we've just announced a new course date for February 2012. Our two January courses our now full, so if you're interested in joining the February course please contact us as soon as possible as we expect it to fill quickly too.
Shoot! New footage For Our VFX Course
A few weeks back I took my class to the Natural History Museum so that we could generate some new footage which they could camera track with. It was lots of fun as they not only got to film live-action footage, they knew exactly what they would have to work with when getting back to the classroom. For me, keeping things fresh is important - and so filming new footage for the students to work with is a must. As you can see from the video, we're all pretty excited to be out of the classroom!
Are You Satisfied with Your Job?
It's such a great feeling when you attend a packed out event and the people pouring in turn out to be our former students. And that's exactly what happened a couple nights ago. I attended a PFTrack event organised by our Technology Team, and it was a storming success. The room was packed with over 50 people – all craning their necks to get a better view of the speaker.
Lots of the attendees at the event were escapees who we didn't just train but placed in their current jobs. It was great to catch up with Jacob Flint who studied our VFX Course last year and so refreshing to hear that he's just as excited about working at The Mill today, as he was when we first placed him there. That's a pretty rare thing these days.
Job satisfaction is massively important, and if you are not entirely happy with what you are doing, then I would encourage you to 'shop around' and find out what's out there. Doing so doesn't have to be that taxing either. If you follow us on twitter or use our RSS feed you'll be first to hear about new jobs, daily. Because we work with nearly all of the major names in the industry, most of the jobs that are out there come through us.
So, if you're stuck in a rut, or just fancy a change, we might just have the right thing for you.
Entry Level Compositing Webinar - Now Live On Our Website
Most of you will remember that I ran a webinar last month called "Entry Level and Junior Roles for Compositors", which focused on what you can expect as a junior compositor in the industry.
Industry Coaching Diary - Compositing Course Escapee Mary Lapena
A few weeks back we told you about our classroom courses being coached by the Industry. One of our students, Alexander Kubinyi, told us about his experience at Double Negative and what it was like to have your reel critiqued by Alex 'The baron' Wuttke. This week, we catch up with another escapee who is studying our Compositing Professional Course and is being coached by The Mill. Here's a snippet from Mary Lapena's coaching diary.
Hold Me Clothes
Evgenia Golubeva recently finished our Character Animation course with us and has very quickly landed a commercials job at Partizan Lab in Soho on the strength of her excellent demo reel. She has also recently put together a short film titled "Hold Me Clothes", a stop-motion film written by her and animated in just one day at a recent film festival in Italy.
Spotlight On Escapee Evgenia Golubeva
Evgenia Golubeva recently completed our animation course at Escape Studios and has put together one of the best student animation reels we have seen completed in just 6 weeks. Evgenia took full advantage of the Animation course and diligently completed all of the animation exercises, often working late into the evenings, and working relentlessly to improve her skills. Most of the shots on her reel have been taken from in-class exercises, but the way in which she has compiled the shots together into a single well-edited piece of work makes her reel far more entertaining to watch than a mere series of student shots cut together with music.
Industry Coaching – Escapee Alexander Kubinyi Shares His Experience
A while back we told you all about our new 'Industry Coaching' scheme which some of our classroom students are fortunate to be part of. For those of you who don't know, this basically means that some of the major post houses act as mentors for our students throughout the 12 or 18 weeks of classroom study that they embark on when they study with us in London. This means that they get professional feedback and expert industry advice relevant to the field they are going to work in. It's no surprise to hear that our students are absolutely delighted with it. All of them are they working extra hard to impress but more importantly, they are getting front-line expertise. We caught up with escapee Alexander Kubinyi who told us what the experience was like in his own words.
Escape Studios meets Pixar's Andrew Gordon
Following the Pixar masterclass, we asked Pixar's Andrew Gordon to share his tips on creating a fantastic animated sequence and tell us how he came to work in the industry and at Pixar.
Quick-fire Q&A with Pixar's Story Artist Matthew Luhn
At the Animation and Story Master Class which took place recently, we caught up with Matthew Luhn to get his thoughts on animation. He has worked on some of the biggest animated films produced, including Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Monsters' Inc., Finding Nemo and Up. Prior to joining Pixar in 1992 Matthew worked on The Simpsons as an animator.
Fusion Master Class – Dates Announced!
We have good news for all Fusion users out there. We are going to be hosting an exclusive three-day Fusion master class, which will be delivered by eyeon's expert trainer, Eric Westphal.
Last seats on the Games Course
Just to let you budding games artists know, we've a few seats remaining on our 12 week Games course starting April 6th, so if you are interested in attending you should book your place as soon as possible. We're also offering a one-off chance to attend the first six weeks of the course which is completely Maya focused. It's perfect for anyone wanting to grasp the foundation skills required to become a 3D artist.

Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 10 of 19 reviews
I love the consistency and burn of this cigar as well. Good aroma, excellent choice!!
Leonard in memphis June 8, 2013
"not impressed with construction"
could not keep most lit, kept having to relite, real firm draw, 8 of 10 so far were this way. opt for the sungrown version, never had a issue with those
steve in mpls November 30, 2012
This was just an OK smoke for me. Kinda bla on the taste but great on the aroma.
marc in Durango May 10, 2012
"Quality smoke, keep in your humidor."
My first Fuente was a bust! The construction was nice, the draw a bit tight, the burn uneven and the flavor was mediocre at best, it tasted leathery and peppery but not consistent. I left them in the bottom of the box.It has been over 6 months in the humidor and I tried it again, WOW this smoke completely changed. The construction is still good, appearence is fine,the draw even throughout, the burn was even and the taste, very smooth with undertones of leathery,peppery-mutmeg. Very nice. I tried another one and the same results, a fine cigar. The key to A.Fuentes are to let them rest in your box for 6 months and let them settle, you won't be sorry. I had these with my Spatten beer(sp) from Costco. A good combination. Now I will enjoy the rest!!
Dug in san diego,ca October 7, 2011
"Pleasently Surprised"
This stick remind me of the 858 Maduro with the exceptions of being a bit fuller bodied and a bit more expensive. Great cigar at a good price. I've had a few and the burn and construction is always spot on. Good stuff!
Paulo in Canada July 27, 2011
"My daily smoke,"
I enjoy one of these every single day except for Sundays when I bring out the Anejo.
This cigar is just the best daily smoke you could ask for, it's consistent, long lasting and burns well enough to make me smile.
Dash in Miami June 8, 2011
A large cigar packed with quality for about $5. An every day cigar for nearly everybody.
John C in So. Cal. September 13, 2010
"A personal favorite"
My wife bought me a sampler of dominicans and these were in it. It was the first one I tried and immediately was my favorite. I have since tried most of the rest and still go back to these as the best. They are smooth and tasty with increasing complexity. Rarely do i want two cigars back to back, but these would do it for me. I could smoke these all day long. Reasonably priced so enjoy!
in July 1, 2010
"Most Consistent of the many I smoke"
I find this cigar to very consistent day in and day out. This is my go to smoke. The maduro wrapper gives it such a great taste, even burn, with minimal harsheness on the finish.
Dave in Shelbyville, TN June 29, 2010
"A great cigar"
This is a larger ring size than I normaly smoke but I decided to try them. The burn was great, the flavor was excellant and the appearance was great. I drink Seagrams 7 crown on the rocks with my cigars and it was a good match. Arturo Fuente makes a great cigars and this is a standout.
Bill in Wisconsin USA May 1, 2010

I was much gratified, Dear Susan, by the rece't of thine of 17th inst tho' it did not reach me as soon at it ought to have, if it traveled hitherward by the usual course. perhaps owing to the circumstance of this state not having been mentioned upon the endorsement it may have strayed for a time into another. we usually receive letters in two days after date from New York and three from Philada. it met with a welcome reception however at its journey's end and I was pleased to receive through it, a confirmation of my misgivings with regard to the authorship of the "witty letter". I am more than ever bewildered and puzzled. circumstance are alluded to in it, which I had supposed were known to mortal being besides ourselves. I therefore concluded before the rece't of thy letter, that it must have been written in some measure with thy privity, thro' an amanuensis, or else that it presented an instance & example of some very singular coincidences in answer to they queries, I may say, that th' document was dated Philada, Sep. 1., post marked at the same place on the 3d. of the same month, and was subscribed with the attractive name & surname of Dorothy Dolittle. yet notwithstanding the feminine & harmonious form and fashion and sound of said name, I think, judging from the stiff & set stile of the hand-writing to which it is signed, that the writer and signer one and the same person, is of the masculine gender. "An enemy hath done this." I said to myself as I perused thy remarks in relation to it. But we have the power and I trust the disposition to defeat his insidious attack. Let us be on our guard, & not be taken by surprise lest he succeed in his assault. In coming over the various errors and blunders

It is our great honor to have talented band Keane in town for their 2 shows and promos in Beijing last week. Here's the full story:
Keane arrived in Beijing, China on the afternoon April 11th, Monday to start their first visit ever to China. On April 12th, the band went to Great Wall to shoot Burberry Acoustic Session. (Burberry Acoustic Session is the special campaign from the brand for this year. The brand invited young bands all over UK to record the acoustic versions of their singles. They want to build a much younger and cooler brand image through this campaign.) They recorded "Somewhere Only We Know" for this session. The video is streamed on Burberry.com and Youku.com.
On April 13th, the band did an amazing mini-concert for Burberry event in Beijing. Near 800 celebrities and guests showed up at the event. Keane totally lit up the venue. Almost everyone sang along with the artists. The concert was live-streamed by Burberry.com and their other video website partners. It's also live-streamed by their 'Burberry Retail Theater' system to over 50 retail stores all over the world. It's probably the most exciting fashion brand event of the year so far.
*Burberry Mini-Concert
After an exciting night with fans, arranged by UM China, the 3 band members from Keane went to visit National Traditional Orchestra of China on the after of April 14. As contemporary western musicians, the band members also very interested in traditional Chinese music and instruments. They watched the rehearsal, interacted with China musicians. The musicians from NTOC played a short jam session for Keane and introduced traditional Chinese instruments to them. All the band members were really fascinated by beautiful traditional Chinese music.
*Visiting National Traditional Orchestra of China
At night, Universal Music China took the whole tour party to dinner at a traditional Chinese restaurant. During the dinner, the band met Sa Dingding, our Chinese artist from Universal China. They talked about a lot of things on music, including the possibility of collaboration in the future. After the dinner, they toured Nan Luo Gu Xiang, an old Beijing Hutong (alley).
*Universal Dinner & Meeting Sa Dingding
The band took a day-off on April 15th. On the afternoon of April 16th, the band went to HitFM, the host of their send showcase in Beijing for a two-hour promo session. This promo session includes: photo call, group interview, 1-on-1 interview and 30-minute live radio show. 15 media attended at the press junket.
*Hit FM Press Junket
After the press junket at Hit FM, the band went to the venue of Hit FM 8th Anniversary showcase venue. Before the show, they met the winners of Keane Album Artwork Design Campaign on Douban.com. This event was held by Universal Music China International Department on Douban.com. Douban group for Keane is the biggest online Keane fan base in China. This campaign encouraged the fans to recommend album cover artworks for Keane. The winners would get the access to the showcase. Top 3 winners could meet the band face to face at the backstage. This campaign got 400+ uploads within 3 weeks.
*Group Photo with winners and their artworks.
9:30 pm April 16th, Keane played on Hit FM 8th Anniversary Showcase. 1500+ fans showed up. And the venue was totally packed. Both the artist and fans enjoyed the show a lot. All the audience were looking forward to see them again in China. Before the event, over 7000 fans send application text to Hit FM for the tickets. 200 CDs are sold out on site.

93 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 09: "(80% tempranillo, 15% garnacha and 5% graciano and mazuelo) Red with an amber rim. Smoky redcurrant, dried cherry and floral aromas gain power with air, picking up notes of licorice and pungent herbs. Highly complex in the mouth, displaying sweet red berry and bitter cherry flavors along with a spicecake quality. The tannins are fully absorbed, allowing the sweet fruit to stand out. As complex as this is right now, it will reward many more years of cellaring." And, according to Wine Spectator: "Maturing now, this big red offers cedar, tobacco and spice flavors that frame dried cherry and licorice. Muscular, with firm tannins and a sweet, slightly dusty finish." (10/09) 91 points and a Cellar Selection, Wine Enthusiast: "Wild flowers, fresh herbs and tobacco aromas add a classic touch to the bouquet, and in the mouth it's alert, with juicy acidity propping up raspberry fruit and oak-based vanilla. Some might call it tangy but there's body and depth to this unfiltered, natural-yeast wine, which can be drunk now but should probably be held for another decade or so. Best from 2014-2019."

This is amazing. It also means I have to stop calling Clueless the Ginger Ninja.
After a whole... explosion of tears, synesthesia (Clueless too! Go figure.), a math teacher who has an inflated idea of eir own importance, a seriously lopsided cardboard castle, two emotionally unstable people, one person who was attempting to remain neutral and accidentally picked a side, and a lot of colorul duct tape yesterday, I decided to stop being friends with Clueless once and for all. I mean, Clueless actually blackmailed me, as well as being a bigger dramawhore than I am and being generally annoying, making slightly homophobic comments, and- I shall stop. You've all heard of Clueless' issues.
So yesterday I sent an email to Clueless explaining all this in detail.
And Clueless sent me back an email that changed my mind.
I promised not to tell people, and that includes Oasis. But we got into a 45-minute Gmail chat. And I've forgiven Clueless for every past sin.
This tells you it was important.
We discussed... everything.
I think we can be confident Clueless won't be as much of a douchebag as before.
It was insanity.
We let each other in.
The first person outside Oasis I ever really talked to. Who woulda thought it'd be gaj ?
(Lovin' the HTML tags.)
And Shneer is rapidly becoming more and more awesome too. Gaj emailed me something really nice and sweet and touching and tragic after my flagrant display of depression in the math room. I think... dare I say it? I think I can actually think of them as... friends!
Sheer insanity, I know.
Have I made you all thoroughly curious?
And yes, my DSi is officially fixed, WOOT.
Yes, you have made us all thoroughly curious, but it's quite all right if there's some cone of secrecy you're not allowed to violate. As it is, I'll just have to take your word for it that this is all great news, and Yay!
its beautiful how opening up can welcome others away from douchebaggery into the realm of awesome.
this makes me unspeakably happy. rock on.

iPhone users vs Android users vs BlackBerry users [Comic]
Posted By Ashraf On January 10, 2013 @ 1:42 AM In Android,BlackBerry,iOS,Miscellaneous | 7 Comments
Anyone that has taken an elementary-level Sociology or Psychology knows, among other things, there are two basic types of perceptions of people; perceptions people have of themselves and perceptions people have of others. Generally, unless you are suffering from depression or something similar, people have a more positive perception of themselves than other people. This is, without a doubt, the case when it comes to smartphone users. Check it out:

Baby Breakfast Soufflé
For Tami's Soufflé themed Donna Hay event I decided to stick with Donna's original Cheddar and Spinach Soufflé recipe, however I want my entry to be a little more "cutesy".
I adore things in miniature and they are the perfect fun thing to give my "little angels".
Thinking the flavours would be a perfectly matched for breakfast,
the inspiration arrived for "Baby Breakfast Egg Cup Soufflé"
As I said I stuck with the original recipe, apart from two minor adjustments, the cheese I used was some traditional Swiss Gruyere which I still had leftover from the "silly season."
The second adjustment was, I in fact halved the recipe, using two eggs instead of four! The halved recipe made around 14 small (40 ml egg cup) Soufflé.
Also as I was feeling a tad lazy to haul out my electric mixer and beaters, I whisked the egg whites by hand, much faster and less clean up!
They were a tasty treat for breakfast, if very difficult to catch on the camera!
I burnt my poor little fingers racing them to my wee studio setup!
I was a little disappointed with the shots I got, plus to my torment some dust, in the way of a little hair had settled in/on the lens. I never, perhaps very rarely "airbrush", crop or touch up my photos in any way, yet today I had to remove those nasty blemishes.
Before taking any new shots I will have to inspect the lens very carefully and blow the little buggers away!
Still it was a lot of fun, I haven't made many Soufflé before and this was certainly the first time attempting to photograph them.

Housing Options
Faculty Housing
The Office of Residential Services intends this summary as a handy guide for current and prospective faculty tenants in Teachers College properties. It includes basic information which we believe will be of value to you both while planning your move and once you have arrived. We suggest that you print a copy and keep it available for easy reference. We have included information of basic relevance to all tenants in New York City apartment buildings as well as information particular to Teachers College.
At present, because the demand for housing greatly exceeds the supply of available apartments, only full-time faculty in the ranks of assistant professor, associate professor and professor as well as senior executive officers are eligible for housing. The Director of Residential Services and Campus Safety in conjunction with the Vice President for Academic Affairs is responsible for assigning apartments based on the guidelines established by the Faculty Housing Committee impanelled by the President of the College in 1996.
As of July 1, 2004, any tenured faculty member moving into College housing is guaranteed housing for five years. At the end of the fourth year of residence, the faculty member will be informed by the College whether the fifth year will be the concluding year of residence, or if a three-year extension will be granted. Such an extension may be renewable, based on availability and at the discretion of the Office of Residential Services, and will be reviewed for possible extension at the end of the second year.
For pre-tenured faculty, the initial term of residency will be seven years, with the vacate/no vacate notification taking place in the sixth year. Non-tenured faculty will have the same possible residency extension policy available to them as tenured faculty.
Eligible faculty may apply for housing at the Office of Residential Services located on the first floor of Whittier Hall, 1230 Amsterdam Avenue, and telephone (212) 678-3235. Those faculty members who currently reside in Teachers College housing may also apply to transfer apartments, subject to availability and the guidelines established by the Faculty Housing Committee.
The College Housing Committee has established guidelines for assigning apartments based on the number of individuals living in the unit as follows:
- Individual:
- 1 bedroom or small 2 bedroom
- Couple:
- Large 1 bedroom or small 2 bedroom
- Family of three:
- Large 2 bedroom or small 3 bedroom
- Family of four:
- 3 bedroom
- Family > 4:
- Large 3 bedroom or 4 bedroom
Assignment to the types of units listed above is based on availability and no guarantee can be made that the type of units listed above will be available for a particular family size. When making assignments, priority is given to new faculty entering the College. Second priority is given to continuing faculty not currently living in on-campus housing and third priority is given to transfers within the buildings.
Faculty apartments are located in either Lowell Hall or Seth Low Hall.

Faster Than Light is a design masterpiece from developer Subset Games. It's not about flashy graphics or cutscenes or famous voices or epic narratives. It joins – in my opinion – a prestigious fraternity of design-based games I feel is swelling in the Indie realm as of now.
For me, a guy who is normally all about pushing the limits of graphics and ambiance, blurring the lines between reality and the game, so to speak; playing games like this is like visiting one of those old open air pioneer museums. You might not be interested all the time, but on occasion it's nice to go back and see what gaming was like before High-Def.
Faster Than Light is part whimsical adventure-exploration game, part strategy game and part spaceship captain simulator. You control a crew of various species of beings each with different abilities and specializations, and together you navigate a hostile galaxy, managing your resources and pushing your luck to get an important missive to your rebel friends on the other side of the galaxy, constantly dodging enemy patrols and pirate raiders.
The great and intriguing thing about FTL is the amount of gameplay the developers were able to wring out of an incredibly simple concept: Risk versus Reward. From the moment you depart on your journey you'll have to make Risk/Reward decisions that will impact how successful you will be. Your ship has a limited fuel supply, so in every sector you'll have to balance the need to advance to the next zone with your need to explore for currency and upgrades for your vessel. Once you get that currency, do you hire more crew members, buy more modules (weapons, drones) or improve your ship's base systems? You'll never have enough resources to do everything.
Stylistically, Faster Than Light mimics and old 8-bit look and feel, coupled with a soft and entrancing soundtrack that lull you into a false sense of security.
Consider the following. You boot up FTL for the first time and are greeted to dulcet tones fit for a romp in the celestial sky. You're introduced to your ship, a blocky floor plan with a cut away roof like a terrarium so you can watch your crew scurry about inside. You select your ship and starting crew and disembark from the station on your mission of great peril and strife. It kind of reminds me of the first couple of chapters of The Fellowship of the Ring. There's this huge impending doom looming over everyone's head, but there's still time for a little merrymaking and casual reflection.
You drift off into the black and before long you receive a distress signal from a ship that's been caught without engine power very near an area of high solar activity. The mission should be easy enough. It's not far out of your way and the reward from the stranded voyagers should be substantial. You decide to go.
Entering the system your shields are instantly shocked by rising solar energy. A creeping panic emerges in the back of your throat but your expert crew gets the shields back up. At this rate your luck will hold. Then you see the pirates. The SOS said nothing about them, but here they are. With your faster than light drive recharging, you've got no choice now but to stand and fight. From here the Risk V. Reward decisions come at you with a vengeance. You don't have enough crew members to man all your systems. Without a pilot you'll be dead in the water, so what other systems do you reinforce? Shields for faster recharge? Engines for better dodge chance? While you're puzzling it out and trading blows with the pirates, a boarding party has teleported onto your ship near the sensor deck, blinding you to any room in your ship a crew member doesn't occupy. Before long they'll have torn your vital systems to pieces. What do you do? You could send crew members to fight the boarders, but your unmanned systems will leave you at a loss against the pirate ship and every crew member that dies is another vital resource lost. You could get creative and vent the atmosphere in the chambers you expect them to inhabit, but flying blind means a wrong guess won't reveal itself until the bastards have started blazes all over your ship.
Bear in mind that hesitation is death. You'd better have made a decision faster than you read the previous paragraph or you're through.
The result of this rapidly spiraling disaster scenario and every other one you'll encounter is that this game, with its simple graphics, straightforward plot and point-and-click gameplay style manages to be more suspenseful than any gunfight with terrorists in Call of Duty or any duel against the gods in God of War. That is a marvel to behold, and well worth the $9.99 you can pick it up for on Steam.

The why is a tough question. Why is Tiger struggling? Is he still battling back from the knee surgeries? Could it be that living a better lifestyle is making it harder to focus on golf, or perhaps it's just emotionally exhausting? Perhaps he just doesn't have the time to commit to practice like he once did. Maybe having affairs with multiple women boosted his confidence to such a high level it helped on the golf course – and now that's gone. Of course he could just be getting older and everyone else is catching up. Why is a tough one to answer. What the problem is however is not.
Yes, a swing change is a long process – especially at the absolute highest level. But that's not the problem. Tiger has always hit it a long and that was an advantage, but he still hits it long. No, he's not consistently hitting like Gary Woodland but Tiger's length is not the problem. And he's never driven the ball particularly straight – he's just one of the most skilled and imaginative players when it comes to getting out of trouble. Sure, there were tournaments when he hit fairways with great consistency and didn't have to spend all his time scrambling – but that just meant he won by 15 strokes instead of 5. The swing isn't his problem.
Tiger's problem right now is simple. He can't putt. Until a few years ago when everything changed for Tiger he simply never missed putts. Okay, the word never is maybe not technically accurate but it's darn close. He didn't miss putts. He saved par almost every time and if he needed a putt, he made it – almost no matter where it was from. It was an amazing stretch of amazing putting. Now, for whatever reasons – remember the why is hard to figure – he putts like a human. He misses putts. A lot of them. In the first 3 days of the 2011 Masters he's missed more putts that 5 years ago he'd make. When (and sadly, maybe it's more accurate to say if) Tiger gets his putting stroke back we'll again see Tiger winning, and winning a lot.
UPDATE (after Tiger's 4th round at the 2011 Masters): I rest my case.
Tiger 5 years ago would have NOT missed the par putt at 12 and would never have missed the Eagle putt at 15. Could have been, should have been in the clubhouse at at least -12.
We've uncovered additional facts about Jay Cutler's injury in the NFC Title game vs Green Bay. This completely explains why he was on the sideline for most of the 2nd half in the biggest game of his life.
It seems falling to the ground into the fetal position multiple times as the defense approached eventually caught up with Cutler. Reports now indicate that Cutler injured his Vagina and was unable to return the game.
We've had several people ask if we have a pick for the Nebraska at K-State game tonight. We don't have an official pick but we have some strong thoughts we shared with e-mailers, so we'll share it with everybody.
If this were a regular Saturday afternoon on a neutral field we'd like Nebraska by 30 points. K-State is less talented at several spots on the field and most importantly they are a very one-dimensional team on offense. Stop the run, stop K-State.
This is not a Saturday afternoon on a neutral field. This is the last conference game (possibly the last game ever) between rivals K-State and Nebraska. This is Thursday Night national prime time on ESPN. This is Bill Snyder. This is Bill Snyder with an extra 1/2 week to prepare.
So ALL the intangibles favor the double digit underdog.
K-State runs the ball very well, that is one area of weakness for Nebraska so the Wildcats may be able to take advantage. But if the Huskers sell out to stop the run there's little change K-State can be successful passing the ball on a consistent basis. And Bill Snyder has several tricks up his sleeves – special teams magic, trick plays….who knows…..
So if we had to pick it, we'd go Nebraska to cover. But we aren't posting this pick officially and I'm not betting on it myself.

Neither side lands knockout blow in AWU affair
PUBLISHED: 26 Nov 2012 22:45:00 | UPDATED: 27 Nov 2012 07:13:17PUBLISHED: 27 Nov 2012 PRINT EDITION: 27 Nov 2012Personal sleaze allegations are dangerous places for politicians to enter, as much for the accusers as for the accused. So predictions that Monday would be an explosive day in federal politics as the opposition made good its promise to pursue Julia Gillard over the matter of her honesty and integrity in the Australia Workers' Union affair were always unlikely to materialise.

That video cracked me up...
Thanks for posting that, now I have a better Idea that it is in fact an issue with the isolation of the gimball. I'll let you know how it goes. I'll start my quest this week. -Mike Quote:

Naza Firmware 2.02 (400 mHz Gimbal output)
I searched but couldn't find much info on this. I currently have the previous firmware and it is working for me. I would only be interested in the new fw if the 400 mHz refresh rate makes some difference in the gimbal control. I am using Futaba s3156 servos for my GoPro gimbal (AeroXcraft). I checked and Futaba lists these servos for 200 mHz refresh rate. Currently I am suing 50 mHz due to fw limitation. So has anyone out there tested the new fw (2.02) for Gimbal output? Does going from 50 mHz to 200 mHz make a significant difference? |
Oct 07, 2012, 09:48 AM | ||
You'll see a difference
Even with the 50 mHz setting on the new firmware, I get more travel range and some increased smoothness. I think you have nothing to lose and possibly something to gain by upgrading... |

Thanks man. That's good to know. I will switch to new fw soon in this case. I will just wait a little more to make sure there is no bug in the firmware. I have been reading the WKM forum and I see many crashes after a new fw update. What a bummer it would be... I am glad I didn't end up buying a WKM. Naza does pretty much everything for less than half the price... |

I first lose control at 2.10 and then at 2.40 it goes in!

Your setup sounds reasonable, although you can get an extra switch if you mix one of the channels back to itself. So (say) you can have home-lock on ch6 and then use the dual-rate switch to control a mix on that channel, to itself. So then you can have course lock on the DR switch. The effect is that you have then three active two-position switches not two. One other trick is that although GPS-Atti is handy for a switch, as you can't then toggle GPS<->Manual, you can't switch into compass calibration, or into Naza failsafe (which is not the same as the 6EX failsafe). The work-around is simply to create a new "model" for each combination. So I have set up with CH5 as GPS-Atti, another GPS-M, and a third GPS-Failsafe. It would be fiddily to switch in the air, but it gives you more flexibility. If you set the 6EX failsafe throttle to 50% then if you switch the TX off (or if the RX comms go down), then the copter will hover. The default for the 6EX is I think 20%; leave it there and your quad would crash. I set mine to a slow descent 45% - I want it to come down gently if I loose control. Note that the other settings are held by the the 6EX receiver, which may not be pleasant if you're unlucky. On the other hand, failsafe is a luxury. Note that the 6EX fail safe is not the same as the Naza failsafe. Quote:
Apologies if it's been done to death, but I would say that you need to be a bit careful with the Naza fail safe. If you have it in the "ascend to 20m and then return to GPS location" for example, you probably don't want to trigger it if flying under trees. |

Except early when some posters were not familiar with the upgrade process or connection was interrupted during upgrade... I think you're safe... |

Link correction
"That link doesn't take me anywhere useful. The 6EX receiver (can't remember the number) supports a preset failsafe...."
Try this link to the original post and click the link from there. I think it got corrupted in copying... May still not be useful. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showp...postcount=5359 |

small gimbal problem!
I just built a 2-axis gimbal and so far is working OK i guess. I have 2 complaints:
1. I have to adjust servo arms so gimbal will travel max rotation 2. both axis seem to move with a "steplike" movement and NOT smooth. I can handle the first problem but the 2nd problem I'm going to need you servo experts here to help me out please. I don't think it's the servos themselves but rather the gimbal software. Any thought?? |
Oct 07, 2012, 02:47 PM | ||
Some posters have reported Naza not playing well with some servo brands. If you have any other servos around to experiment with, you may want to see how they behave even if they are not what you plan to use in your gimbal. I assume that you are using the upgraded firmware. Realize that an analog servo is not going to do well at the higher frequencies. You could actually burn it up. Leave the setting low for analog... |

I paid FAST and Inktomi $65 to get my site included. It has been two weeks now. I got zero traffic! The reason for that becuase their web spider don't crawl. Only the index page is listed. In other words, people have to know your site title or site address in order to find your site. It defeats the purpose!
Today, Lycos even dropped my site for no reason.
Don't be a fool. DO NOT PAID to get your site included.
I agree with you in a sense. However, I have had GREAT results from Inktomi and Fast (Especially Ink.). I just had to learn which pages to pay for and which ones weren't worth it. If I had to choose one page to submit, I would choose a page that has the most keywords included on it.
For example:
If you sold Calendars for DOGS, you would probably be better off submitting a page that listed all of the dog breeds rather than submitting your front page that maybe just said "DOG CALENDARS" and had a picture of ONE calendar.
If you have a page that has a complete list of all calendars/dog breeds, you would probably get more hits submitting this page. You will more than likely get more hits from a page that has "German Shepherd Dog Calendar, Bassett Hound Dog Calendar, Great Dane Dog Calendar, Poodle Dog Calendar, etc. etc. etc." There are definitely situations where your main page is not the best page to submit.
You do need to pay close attention and submit to each search engine differently than the others.
It is true that most PFI engines will not spider your site if you are paying for inclusion. As far as FAST dropping your site, I have been having a similar problem, but when it happens, I find the people at FAST are WONDERFUL about helping me get the listing back up. However, I do have to admit I have a good contact at FAST that is really helpful.
Now that one PFI page was removed yesterday.
At best, it's simply an appalling level of incompetence.
I wouldn't worry too much if that's all you get.
It seems it isn't used by surfers for reasons that I don't understand.
Submit the page you want traffic on I have not have any problems with fasts pfi it works great for me, and i think there is a lots of members that have succes of it too.
I can just hope it works for you.
> Only the index page is listed.
That is the deal with PFI, you pay to get the page(s) you choose included, not to get the whole site included.
Sometimes it works well, but overall I've always been pretty dubious about paid inclusion. The benefits are so few and far between.
My bank manager doesn't think so!
I guess my point was that you can often get good results without PFI on the same engines, but you're right that PFI can be put to good use ;)

This is what I did:
- Melted 180g unsalted butter in a large pan
- Added 250g dark brown sugar and 180G dark 72% cooks chocolate
- Mixed until smooth and chocolate melted.
- Beat in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp salt (Himalayan pink).
- Beat in 3 duck eggs, one by one.
- Folded in 115g wholemeal flour.
- Stirred in 150g chopped walnuts.
- Baked at 180C for 20 mins.
- Poured into a 9" (23 cm) sq cake mould.
- Left to cool (a bit) then cut into 16 squares.
In conclusion, these brownies were good and satisfied my brownie craving, but they weren't up with the best - chestnut brownies, spicy orange brownies, toffee brownies, fudgy coconut brownies and many of the other brownies I have made. But please don't let that stop you giving them a try.
In a further conclusion, I think I might have been a bit harsh. These got better each day we had them and by day five they were truly delicious.
