When I decided to learn more about pairs trading for stocks, I wasn't expecting to take a course that would teach me every possible thing about it. I just wanted to find out what Forex basically is, but my interest was piqued when I saw a course that offered to teach me all I could want to know. I know that most courses out there feel theirs is the best, which is why I wanted to see what people who have actually taken it think about it. I looked at quite a few unbiased reviews on what other students thought of it, and that is how I made my decision to go ahead and take the complete course myself.
While there were the typical reviews that stated the teacher was excellent and they learned so much, there were quite a few that went into detail on why this course was so great to them. What I especially liked is that everything important really was covered. There is just so much to learn, and it is impossible to take it all in within just a couple of hours. That is why I was impressed when I saw that there are 35 unique lessons and lectures with this course.

Down to earth girl who likes to laugh and have fun!
First off, I'm new to this online dating thing and just recently joined, so I'm curious to see what comes of it! A little about me: I absolutely love my friends, am close to my family, enjoy shopping and going to concerts, I'm a very caring person, career oriented (LOVE the company I work for), love trying new restaurants and traveling to new places, have an adorable pup named Chloe, and I just try to have fun no matter what I'm doing! My partner: Can have fun going out or staying in with just us or with a group of people, will take interest in things I enjoy, someone I can have fun with but understands that it's still important to have a girls/guys night away from each other sometimes, is caring, and affectionate, career oriented. Oh yeah, and it would be a huge bonus if he loves kids :) It's also extremely important that he loves God and can be involved in church. That's a very important part of my life. Think you fit the bill? :-P

Excellent, low-cost harbour trips in a modern sightseeing boat. Saw seals and lighthouses, and many islands in the harbour.
We were picked up at our dock at the inn we were staying at. That made it very easy for everyone to get on the boat. It was a beautiful day and we were able to sit up on the top deck. It really was one of the nicest harbor cruises I have been on. It was two hours long...
Though the main attraction is the Puffin colony, this trip provides a lot more. You get a tour of the Boothbay harbor and lighthouses, plus other wildlife including not only birds, but on our trip we also got minke whales, harbor porpoises, and harbor seals. The guide and captain were both top-notch.
I'm a life listing birder and I chose this trip based on the Audubon naturalist who would be aboard. I knew it was not a pelagic trip but more of a sightseeing trip for people who want to see Atlantic Puffins but don't care very much about other birds. Nevertheless, it was an excellent value for the money and time...
I loved this cruise! I learned a lot about puffins and other seabirds. The Audobon guide aboard the boat was excellent, as was the captain. We were lucky enough to see a lot of puffins, but even luckier to get to see a minke whale, which surfaced very close to our boat. There was also a sighting of a harbor...
Lovely, relaxing and educational way to spend the day in beautiful Boothbay! The length of the trip was perfect. The kids loved it.
After seeing all the cards with these adorable puffins we opted for a tour. It was more of a long boat ride that finally slowed down around the puffins island and there we saw many tiny, tiny puffins from afar. Even with my 300mm lens the puffins were so small that I ended up deleting the shots.
The naturalist onboard...
We love the sunset cruise! Great way to see the sites and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. We also like the fact that it is just long enough (about one hour and fifteen minutes) which makes it a good trip for children too.
A beautiful clear day for the cruise and took lots of pictures..Saw lots of puffins, seals, gulls and more. Presenters did a great job on educating us about the puffins.
Get here a good half hour early so that you have some choice in seating, it's first come first served. We had a good captain and excellent Audubon staff member on board to answer any question and point out interesting things. At Eastern Egg Rock we saw lots of puffins, common eider, black guillemot and razorbills. The island circled in...

Nature Photography and Writing
I add all my hopes and desires to this mountain of dreams.
In the lowest valleys this mountain watches over me.
It battles sever pressure and intense storms.
But it always stays true to form.
I look over at this mountain to spark the life within me.
And through a lot of effort, I climb up it excitedly.
I may not have all the equipment to reach the summit on this stay.
But perhaps I will easily rest on this pinnacle another day.
Just a ripple on the massive wave.
Just a branch on an endless tree.
Just a pebble in this grand mountain.
Just a note in this great melody.
Just a turn on the endless spiral.
A microscopic piece when seen macroscopically.
Just a layer to this complex fabric.
The whole expressing itself individually.
I thought some abstract images from Iceland were fitting for this poem.
This great light
that will illuminate the rest of your days.
Is only a cloud parting away.
All of my steps up mountains.
All of the toil of these preluding acts.
Are justified by a mountain scene at its most stunning;
By a perfect encore.
Gold lines the hills
Such a treasure to behold
For a short while
Change comes through
Alters our place of comfort
Gives a space to grow
You need not worry
About small things below an
Infinite sky
This is the start in a new series I will be doing for my blog. This will help viewers and myself get a better understanding and appreciation of the various elements of the compositions I post. Enjoy!
1. This is the coastal variant of the Subalpine Fir Tree, scientifically known as Abies Lasiocarpa. This tree typically grows to a maximum height in the 60-70 foot range, but has known to grow more than double that in exceptional circumstances. It prefers colder environments with short growing seasons. The cones are typically 2" to 4" long. Due to the short growing seasons, it resultantly grows very slowly; a tree 15 inches in diameter may be up to 175 years old. The tree employs protective mechanisms to survive colder climates. The cell walls become more rigid to prevent ice crystals from breaking the tree's cells; a waxy coating also works to reduce water loss by evaporation.
2. That is 10,781 ft. Mt. Baker, also named as Koma Kulshan by indigenous people. Mt. Baker, which hosts 13 glaciers, is the second most glaciated mountain behind Mt. Rainier in the Cascade Range ,and the third tallest in the state behind Mt. Rainier and Glacier Peak. Mt. Baker holds the world record set in 1999 for the single largest snowfall accumulation in a single season at 1,140 in. It was first ascended by Edmund Thomas Coleman in 1866, which is how the Coleman Glacier got its name.
3. This is Calluna Vulgaris or more commonly known as Heather. Heather is often found on nutrient- poor acidic soils in areas with cold winters and grows to a height around 3 feet. Its bloom time depends on snow conditions and melt , but it commonly blooms during early to mid July in the cascade range.
4. Snowfields often persist on the ridges of Mt. Baker into August. Some snowfields on the North side of Baker may not melt at all during the season.
1.Be open to different alternatives. Being too fixated on one particular composition narrows the options available to you. If you are open to trying out abstract types of compositions and working with multiple types of weather patterns you will increase the likelihood of creativity in your photography. One of my favorite examples of this is choosing to photograph forest and waterfall scenes during sunny conditions; the light in these circumstances can be interpreted by the eye, but the camera still lags behind in that respect. These types of conditions are definitely challenging to photograph under, but if interpreted correctly, they can produce an image with more depth and ambiance than a forested scene under overcast skies.
2. Look at the whole of a scene and see how each part could interplay in your composition. It is easy to get too focused on the immediate foreground subject or the background subject and lose sight of everything else happening around it. Identify which ways you can draw focus to all of the subject matter presented. The mid-ground is often the most complementary aspect to an image with depth.
3. Seek to find the most important elements of the composition and deemphasize everything else. Photography is more of an art of subtraction; employing that idea can work wonders in creating an image with flow to it. Think about ways in which you can use perspective or tripod position to work around distractions in the scene. Often times shadowing and highlighting can be used to diminish or enhance different features of an image.
4. Always give yourself more time than you will need. This is true in a lot of conditions in life, but particularly true with photography. Though it can be thrilling to rush to get to a spot at the right moment (I know from a lot of first-hand experience), it is always helpful to know as many details and nuances of the place you're photographing as possible. Having enough time also allows you to relax and reset the mind a bit from the rush.
5. Use photography more for the process than the result. When you focus more on the art of capturing or creating an image rather than the image itself your enjoyment thrives. Photography is a medium to help enhance our ways of perceiving the world; and if you look at it that way, you immediately gain from picking up a camera and honing the process.
Recently I had the opportunity to visit the Olympic Peninsula, which is not irregular for me, but the unpredictable conditions steered me away from my original intention of visiting the beaches and drew me to almost exclusive focus on the Sol Duc river. I will share some of my observations from various spots along the river. . .
Sol Duc Falls plunges down the canyon that is now filled with light with the creeping sun. The shaded and relatively cold shadows above the falls transform the spray crystallizing it into a brilliant design around the falls. The spray refracts the light beam and together they paint rainbows of color. The power of the falls is both energizing and deafening.
A light mist billows through the forest and merges with angled-morning sunlight. The forest begins to awake out of a dense silence; a few birds begin to shatter the quiet in their melody. Lichens and mosses become alive in new color with the highlights of the morning sun. Echoes of the rolling Sol Duc river are heard as it moves with a broader chorus with the addition of spring snowmelt; layered in turquoise it rolls and tumbles over large boulders as it moves downstream.
Large old growth trees provide shelter and habitat to a large number of species and act like a sponge and filter for the river. These trees are great temperature regulators; I can feel the cool and crispness to the air as they split the light beams that move over a tributary creek that runs into the Sol Duc River.
The morning sunlight illuminates the light fog that hangs over the Sol Duc River as it is nearing completion on its 78-mile journey. The river begins to shift to a more oceanic ecology as it nears the Pacific; neighboring forests become less dense and the river becomes wider .The westward wind carries fragments of the ocean as it entangles the flora. Contrasted with its powerful beginnings emanating from the glaciers and cutting through the canyons with much force; the Sol Duc is seen in relative silence as it moves softly during a quiet morning.
The moon hangs over the Sol Duc River and warmly lit trees at this popular fishing spot along the river. The Sol Duc River eventually joins the Bogachiel River to form the Quillayute River which leads to the Pacific Ocean at La Push. The Sol Duc watershed is an impressive 219 square miles!
A brief poem I thought up along the river:
When nature comes to life
When silence springs to sound
The complex chorus of the earth
Speaks to the inner stillness that is found.

Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresThe Company has included information concerning Adjusted EBITDA because management utilizes this information, which is materially similar to a financial measure contained in covenants used in the Company's credit agreement, in the evaluation of its operations and believes that this measure is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to generate cash collections in excess of operating expenses through the liquidation of its receivable portfolios. The Company has included information concerning adjusted operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense and tax lien transfer segment operating expenses in order to facilitate a comparison of approximate cash costs to cash collections for the debt purchasing business in the periods presented. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating expenses have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income and total operating expenses as indicators of the Company's operating performance. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures, as presented by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. The Company has included a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to reported earnings under GAAP and a reconciliation of adjusted operating expenses excluding stock-based compensation expense, and tax lien transfer segment operating expenses to the GAAP measure total operating expenses.

"The 1915-S is in the upper echelon of rarity among ten dollar Indian gold pieces. Only 59,000 pieces were struck, and it appears that some attempt was made to actually place this issue in circulation as the majority of known survivors are in AU condition. The absolute and condition rarity of this issue is undisputed by those who are familiar with this difficult series. The 1915-S is comparable in Mint State rarity to the 1913-S and the much wider recognized 1920-S. Fewer than 200 pieces are believed known today in the various grades of Uncirculated. There are less than 40 pieces extant in MS63 condition with another 30 or so in MS64. Probably no more than 10 pieces exist in MS65 and finer conditions."
Further along, the authors--after discussing a couple of other examples that set the current auction records during the 1989 "investor-crazed market"--make another interesting observation concerning a particular Gem coin, the same MS65 grade as the current piece:
"One of the better-known 1915-S tens is a PCGS MS65. While not the highest graded, it has been a part of three of the finest collections of ten Indians ever assembled: Thaine Price, William Thomas Michaels, and John Kutasi. This particular coin has exceptional mint luster and rich yellow-gold color with noticeably granular surfaces, which is unlike the finish seen on many 1915-S tens."
While we have not been able to track the provenance of this piece, we would mention that while it appears to have a noticeable granularity, it is not as heavy as the Gem mentioned in the quote above. We would also mention that this coin has stunning, trouble-free surfaces that lack any obvious dark spots or other mentionable impairments. For pedigree purposes we note a small scrape just below the lowest feather on the Indian's headdress. On the reverse there are a couple of tiny ticks in the right field below CA. This piece indeed appears high-end for the grade, with lovely yellow-orange color and a meticulous strike. Census: 4 in 65, 2 finer (11/08).

NAMPA, Idaho -- University of Northern Iowa seniors Olimpia Nowak and Daniel Gooris each wrapped up multi-event competition with a top-10 finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships on Saturday afternoon. Nowak battled through an ankle injury to finish eighth in the pentathlon with 4,038 points, becoming UNI's first women's track & field All-American since 2008.
Gooris scored 5,662 points to claim ninth place and earn second-team All-America honors. Both Nowak and Gooris' point totals were the second-best of their careers.
Nowak is UNI's first women's track & field All-American since thrower Rachel Jansen earned the last of her four All-American citations in 2008. Gooris is the top Panther men's finisher at the NCAA Indoor Championships since Tyler Mulder placed third in the 800m in 2009.
"In typical UNI fashion, Daniel and Olimpia competed as tough as any athletes in America today," said UNI head track & field coach Dan Steele. "Daniel finished as a second-team All-American in his very first trip to nationals. These two athletes gave the Panther Nation a lot to be proud of today."
Nowak started the day with a time of 8.48 seconds in the 60m hurdles - her strongest event - to score 1,021 points. She matched her season-best in the high jump, clearing 5-06.50 (1.69m) and threw 39-09.25 (12.12m) in the shot put. Nowak posted a long jump mark of 17-11.75 (5.48m) and finished with a time of 2:20.82 in the 800m.
"Olimpia re-injured her ankle in the high jump - the second event. I didn't know if she would even be able to finish the competition," Steele said. "She told me it was the last indoor meet of her career and she was going to continue. We just stayed focused and made adjustments the rest of the way to protect her. She just refused to give up."
"In the final event, she ran a gutsy 800m on a swollen ankle and moved from ninth to eighth place. That she finished the meet as a first team All-American is a testament to her mental and physical toughness. I am just so proud of her."
Nowak placed 14th in the pentathlon as a freshman in 2008 and 12th as a junior in 2011.
Gooris notched two personal-best performances over the final three events of the heptathlon. He opened by clocking 8.45 seconds in the 60m hurdles for the fastest time of his career and followed up by matching his best in the pole vault, clearing 17-04.50 (5.30m) to top the rest of the heptathlon field. Gooris ran the 1000m in 2:46.88 to seal his ninth-place finish.
In all, he matched or set new personal-bests this weekend in four of the seven events.
Both Panthers improved upon their national rankings entering the meet. Nowak entered the NCAA Championships ranked No. 10 in the pentathlon, and Gooris came in No. 15 in the heptathlon.
Gooris was just 17 points shy of matching his best heptathlon score, and Nowak was only 29 points off her best pentathlon effort.
Brianne Theisen of Oregon won the pentathlon title with 4,536 points. Curtis Beach of Duke took the heptathlon crown with 6,138 points.

Sportsstuff Lulu 1 Doable Edition 1-Person controllable Ski Tube
The LULU towables by SporstsStuff provide a unique and exciting experience in that Lulu can be steered! Additionally, this boat towable can ride both …
The LULU 1 is a challenging new experience, not just another old-style towable that you simply hang on to. The Championship Edition LULU 1 is a new DOABLE; a controllable towable with no front or back that you can maneuver, slalom, spin, jump and do a combination of moves through the boat wake or crest in a straight-line boat pattern. This is the most advanced towable to hit the market in the past 30 years. A new PATENT PENDING VEER tow system, combined with strategically located Tiger Tooth Fins enable the rider to control the LULU 1 in various moves. Skill is acquired via multiple riding attempts. You will learn that slaloming is achieved by leaning left or right and spinning happens by rocking your weight from front to back. You will have plenty of spills and chills as you are learning. All riders, boat drivers and spotters are novices. Start slowly at reduced speeds until you gain confidence in your skill level.

What Tismaneau is clear on is how Bolshevism and Nazism both desired a scapegoat to achieve their end goals.
While Bolshevism was a dictatorship of the proletariat, Nazism was a dictatorship with a voting consensus behind it.
Bolshevism was the linchpin that held all the other facets of conspiracy together.

Ubuntu Desktop is a Linux distribution derived from Debian. It is one of the most popular (Desktop) Linux distributions available, and many other distributions are derived from it. Development is sponsored by Canonical.
There are two editions of Ubuntu Desktop – Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Desktop Alternate Installer. The only difference lies in the installation programs. Ubuntu Desktop has a simple, graphical installer, while Ubuntu Desktop Alternate Installer has an ncurses installation program. It is suitable for use on low-resource computers.
Installation Program and Installation Process: The graphical installation program of Ubuntu Desktop is very basic, and lacks support for disk encryption, LVM, the Linux Logical Volume Manager, and RAID. There is an option to encrypt the home directory, but that is the lone, physical security feature it has.
The alternate installer edition, with the ncurses interface, has support for LVM, disk encryption and RAID. It also has the option to encrypt the home directory.
Desktop Environments: Starting from the 11.04 release, Ubuntu ships with the Unity as the default desktop, with a fallback to GNOME 2 for machines that do not meet the minimum hardware requirements for running Unity.
Installed Applications and Software Management Out of the box, Ubuntu comes with most of the software that the vast majority of users would need for their daily computing needs. Those that are not pre-installed, like non-free applications and codecs, can be installed if the appropriate repository is enabled. Like on any other Linux distribution, the software repository contains thousands of free applications that you can install.
Debian's Advanced Packaging Tool, APT, is the application management framework on Ubuntu. The most common command line utility for managing applications is apt-get, with Synaptic and Software Center as the user-friendly, graphical frontends. Both graphical applications are installed out of the box, but Synaptic offers a lot more features than the newer Software Center. The Software Center offers paid applications from Canonical's software partners, but those are few, compared to the free applications in the default repository.
Graphical Administrative Applications: If you are running Unity, the graphical administrative applications are in the System Settings. In Fallback mode, that is, if you are running GNOME 2, they are accessible from System > Preferences and System > Administration menus.
Physical and Network Security Posture: Per physical security, Ubuntu Desktop with the graphical installer has a very bad physical security posture. For starters, the installer does not support disk encryption, and it does not provide the option to password-protect the boot loader. These are two features that are used to enhance the physical security posture of a system.
Because the Alternate Installer version of supports full disk encryption, it is possible to present a better physical security profile, and, therefore, achieve a higher security rating than if you use the graphical installer edition.
A new installation of Ubuntu 11.04 has only one open port – 631, the Internet Printing Protocol port. The firewall is not configured, and Gufw, one of 3 graphical clients for managing ufw, the command line frontend to IPTables, is not installed. AppArmor, the mandatory access control program is loaded, in enforcing mode. Ten (10) profiles are loaded by default.
Hardware Requirements and Resources: Ubuntu is supported on both 32-bit and 64-bit Intel-compatible platforms. To run the Unity desktop, a computer with 3D-accelerated graphics is required. Recommended minimum memory requirement is 512 MB. However, 1 GB or more, will make your computing life a little bit less stressful. The minimum disk space required to install the latest edition is 4.4 GB.
Download links for the latest stable editions of Ubuntu are available here. Official documentation and other support links are available here and at Questions and Answers.

Two, Part 2 - Ten Things To Be Grouchy About
Sorry if this column sucks, it's not my fault … "I definitely want the 2005 Heisman. Reggie Bush is definitely the Heisman Trophy winner for that year, but if they send it over to me I am not going to say no to it."
And could you do the same next year, and make sure the two teams are unbeaten? Love, Commissioner Delany. … Oh mighty and benevolent college football gods, if we are all good, chaste souls and we work hard, stay pure, don't leave the toilet seat up, and keep the Internet porn to a bare minimum, can you see it in your infinite wisdom and loving grace to please deliver us a healthy Denard Robinson vs. Terrelle Pryor showdown on November 27th?
And then I make a sign to no one in particular with my hand to make it look like the receiver screwed up and should've cut the other way … (Unfunny pretentious blurb meant to go here returned by Cameron Heyward after a bad read by Jacory Harris.)
"Normally I wear protection, but then I thought, "When am I gonna make it back to Haiti?" … Rich Rodriguez has managed to quiet the storm surrounding his job status and his supposedly renegade program that practices too hard by getting two all-timer performances out of Robinson. However, he should be fired immediately, and with great malice, if Robinson sees the field for more than two series in any of the next two games against UMass and Bowling Green. You don't put the winning lottery ticket in your pocket and then throw your pants into the washer. You have a grumpy Tate Forcier who needs to be placated before you turn him into a safety (Tate … your NFL shot is as a defensive back), and a phenomenal No. 2 option in Devin Gardner, who might turn into a bigger version of Robinson. See what they can do and keep your star from getting flattened.
Rich, learn from the past. Your 2007 West Virginia team would've played for the national title except for the losses to South Florida and Pitt. Those happened to be the two games that a banged up Pat White played sparingly, and you would've won them both if he was healthy. It is a bad, BAD idea to try to run up Robinson's Heisman numbers by keeping him on the field in winnable games like these next two.
Along with a constant loop of Baby Elephant Walk, what has been going through Tate Forcier's head during the first two Michigan wins … "Oh, that's just super. NOW the offensive line knows what it's doing. Yes, Denard, it's called a hole. You run through it and good things happen … could've used this some of this whole blocking thing last year, gang."
"Did it look at you? Did the fire look at you? It did. Whoa. Wow. Our worlds aren't that far apart after all, are they? So, whoever is doing this knows the animal well, doesn't he? He knows him real well, but he won't let him loose. He won't let him have any fun, so he does not love him. Now, who doesn't love fire?" … There's no truth to the rumor that Pastor Terry Jones has declared September 18th "Burn the Florida Gameplan Day."
"Okay, people, listen up. The people upstairs have handed us this one, and we gotta come through. We gotta find a way to make this... fit into the hole for this... usin' nothin' but that." … The Florida Gators. The Florida Gators, are 104th in the nation in passing offense and 92nd in total offense. Take away two Jeff Demps runs and the offense has done absolutely nothing over the first two games. Urban Meyer needs to run his spread, but he can't.
John Brantley shouldn't be a 2010 Florida Gator; he should be chucking it around for the 1998 squad. He has a special arm, next-level talent, and the type of skills that could make him millions of dollars with the right coaching and tutoring. While Meyer made Alex Smith a No. 1 overall draft pick and Tebow was a first rounder, they're apples to Brantley's orange, and now the offense isn't working.
Of course, it has only been two games and Brantley has been plagued by a center who can't get the snap right and a group of phenomenally talented receivers who treat the football like a hot brick, but in a year of transition, something has to pick up soon or it might be panic time with Alabama coming up on October 2nd. If this doesn't … JACORY. I know you don't have a running game, but you can't force it like that.
"Ah yes, but I'd trade it all for a little bit more." … After two games, Florida is 2-0 winning by a combined score of 72-16. Yeah, the offense is an issue, but the defense has been fantastic and the two games were still blowouts.
"Look, champ. I know guys like that. I grew up with them. I was the fat kid they wouldn't let play. "Sit down, fat boy'. That's what they'd say "Sit down, maybe you'll learn something." Well, I learned something alright. Pretty soon, I owned the game, and those guys I grew up with come to me with their hats in their hands. Tell me, champ, all those years of puggin', how much money did you make?" … There's no question that Florida State-Oklahoma, Miami-Ohio State, Penn State-Alabama, and Michigan-Notre Dame made for a special September 11th. This was superpower of superpower Saturdays considering the brand names involved and all the history they bring into every game, but what have you done for me lately? It's really, really, really hard to win a national title. It only seems like all the star teams in last weekend's showdowns have won championships over the last few seasons, but Alabama is the only one with a title in the last seven years. Michigan has won just one national title since 1948, Ohio State has won just one title since 1968, Notre Dame hasn't won since 1988, and Penn State hasn't won a championship since 1986. Miami hasn't won in eight years, Oklahoma hasn't won since 2000, and Florida State hasn't won since 1999. With all the … aw crap. The long, sustained blurb stalled with another Jacory Harris interception.
"Let's go, handsome, come on. Not you, fat Jesus, slide it on back. You, pretty boy." … Jesse Palmer Weekly Spiky Hair Index: 9.5. The Palmer Spiky Hair levels for Saturday will remain relatively stable in the extremely high range. This is a result of mild temperatures, medium humidity, and softball questions from John Saunders. The gel from the hair is delivering a fairly constant level of duuuuuude into the air.
What I really learned from the Charlie Debacle is that you gotta punch your weight. Charlie was out of my Class: too pretty, too smart, too witty, too much. What am I? Average. A middleweight." … Anyone with a brain, and 32% with half of one, knows that the 2010 Boise State Broncos can absolutely, positively play with anyone in the country. Stick them in Glendale on January 10th, 2011 against Alabama or Ohio State and yeah, they can win that game.
That's not the point.
It's not about Boise State, TCU, Houston, Temple, or any of the other non-BCS schools that are currently unbeaten. It's not about any one team at all. It's about the process, and it's about a cockamamie joke of a system that not only keeps the little guy out, but demands it.
As we go on through the season and we get into the daily discussions of whether or not Boise State or TCU can or should play in the BCS Championship, the answer is a very painful, very simple, no. It's not about what we believe; it's about what we can prove.
There were similar fights about 1984 BYU, 1998 Tulane, 1999 Marshall, 2001 BYU (until Hawaii's Nick Rolovich had his say), and recent unbeaten teams from the Mountain West and the WAC, but there hasn't been a team in a long, long time with the credibility, the résumé, and the respect that this year's Boise State team owns.
The program has earned its shot to be in the discussion after winning at least ten games in nine of the last 11 seasons, and with two BCS victories in the last four seasons. But there isn't a playoff system in place, and this year's national title discussion has absolutely nothing to do with the past. What happens in the Las Vegas Bowl, stays in the Las Vegas Bowl. Each year, every team has to replace roughly a third of its squad, and every season has to be taken on its own … right through the hands, ALMOST another Jacory Harris pick … merits. While the pollsters might use what happened the year before as a basis for how they do their preseason rankings, they're not supposed to, and it's that human element that remains the problem.
Remember, the BCS isn't necessarily in place to put the two best teams in America in the BCS Championship game. It's in place to figure out which two teams deserve to play for the national title. We can all speculate and have our thoughts about which teams are the best, but college football's champion is determined by a beauty contest and subjectivity can only go so far.
If we went just on what we all believe, then Florida had no reason to make the trip to Glendale to face Ohio State in the 2007 BCS Championship. Why did Oklahoma bother to go to Miami for anything more than the weather in January of 2001? That Florida State team was supposed to be unbeatable, as were the 2005 USC Trojans, the 1983 Nebraska Cornhuskers, and the 1992 and 2002 Miami Hurricanes. That's why, with no playoff in place, if college football is going to use the BCS to come up with the two most worthy teams to play in the national title, then the computer formulas have to play an objective role and strength of schedule has to mean everything.
It's not Boise State's fault that most of the really, really good teams pretend to be in the can when the call comes to try to put together a tough non-conference matchup. It's not Boise State's fault that the rest of the WAC sucks. It's not Boise State's fault that the system is designed to prevent anyone from a non-BCS school to play for the national title without a perfect storm of losses from the big boys. But that's the deal.
It has been repeated ad nauseum, but it's the most important point of the 2010 college football season. Schedule matters, and it's not enough to be able to beat a Virginia Tech in a one shot deal, or an Oregon State at home when the rest of the slate looks like this: at New Mexico State, Toledo, at San Jose State, Louisiana Tech, Hawaii, at Idaho, Fresno State, at Nevada, and Utah State to come after the Oregon State game.
Compare that to Alabama's schedule after playing Penn State (and remember, six teams get a week off before facing the Tide): at Duke, at Arkansas, Florida, at South Carolina, Ole Miss, at Tennessee, at LSU, Mississippi State, Georgia State, Auburn. If the Tide gets through that, then there's an SEC Championship game to deal with meaning that at least six games, possibly as many as eight, are as difficult, or more so, than Boise State's one signature victory. Yeah, it's great to beat the Hokies, now beat the Hogs, the Gators, the Gamecocks, and on and on and on.
Could the Broncos get through Alabama's schedule without a loss? It doesn't matter. They don't get the chance to try.
Ohio State's schedule after playing Miami gets nice and soft for a while, but going to Wisconsin and Iowa, and facing Penn State and Michigan, means the Buckeyes will have earned their stripes if they run the table. The same goes for Oklahoma, who blew up Florida State and still has to face a tough Air Force team and goes to Cincinnati before dealing with Texas, at Missouri, at Texas A&M, Texas Tech, and at Oklahoma State, not to mention a possible Big 12 Championship.
The schedules for the top teams are so tough that it'll be next to impossible for there to be more than one unbeaten BCS conference team when all is said and done. So let's say Boise State does finish in the top two and plays for the BCS Championship. Are you going to be happy leaving out a one-loss SEC champion? What if Alabama loses two games in close, classic fashion, but obliterates Florida in the SEC title game? How about keeping out a one-loss Ohio State team that lost to Wisconsin on a last second field goal, but trampled everything in its path the rest of the way? And to take this a step even further, let's say Boise State actually wins the BCS Championship. Are you going to give the team your full respect, or will you still point to the fact that it got a free pass to get to the game when it probably wouldn't have been there by playing a BCS schedule?
But before all you BCS league types get all puffy-chested and completely eliminate Boise State from the title game based on the deserve factor, the precedent has been set to play for a national title even with a miserable schedule.
No one questions Miami's 1983 national title, but it had one decent win over a West Virginia team that went 9-3 before stunning Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. The 2001 Hurricane team that all the pro types likes to gush over beat a big bowl of whatever before facing an undeserving Nebraska team for the title. 1981 Clemson effectively played a two game schedule. 1985 Oklahoma only beat one team, Nebraska, that could strap on a helmet, and lost to Miami along the way (in the Troy Aikman broken leg game). 1986 Penn State beat just three teams that finished with a winning record, and one of them was a 6-5 Temple. Nebraska's 1994 juggernaut faced two teams with a pulse, Kansas State and Colorado, and the 1995 team played three teams (KSU, Colorado, and Kansas) that didn't colossally stink. And, of course, the all-timer is 1984 BYU, whose schedule made Boise State's 2010 slate look like a murderer's row.
But we live in a new era where the media is far better, the scrutiny is tighter, and everyone sees every game (except for the people voting in the polls). This isn't 1984, and it's going to be next to impossible to convince anyone outside of the greater Boise metropolitan era that the WAC deserves a team in the BCS Championship without a lot of help along the way. Even then, it might not be enough.
"But … my stapler … " … When the second best season in your program's history came in 1903, highlighted by a 89-0 win over Welch Neck High and with a dominant performance against Columbia YMCA, you're due. South Carolina fans have been the most patient in the history of college football, waiting year after year after year for something to finally go their way in one season when everything comes together. Freshman RB Marcus Lattimore appears to be the catalyst, the offensive line is showing a serious attitude and appears ready to block someone for the first time in the Steve Spurrier era, and the defense is starting to jell with all the pieces back in place after issues with the NCAA. Of course, this is South Carolina, which means that just about the time when the dream season is about to hit its stride ... yoink.
Oh yeah, by the way, the NCAA sent South Carolina a formal letter of investigation last week.
Boise State, beat Georgia and roll through this, then you can play for the whole ball of wax … Gamecock fans, before you start booking tickets for Atlanta, take a hard look at the schedule after a layup against Furman this week. At Auburn, Alabama, at Kentucky, at Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Arkansas, at Florida, Troy, at Clemson. That's eight bowl bound teams in the final nine games, and even if everything breaks right and the Gamecocks win the East, then it's probably another battle with Alabama to deal with.
And I'm still pushing for GameDay to come broadcast from my breakfast nook, but I don't live in SEC country (more on that in a moment) … It's Year Two, Week Two of my open lobbying of the ESPN College Football Final show guys to give me a helmet sticker and the signed T-shirt, suitable for framing. Why do I deserve one this week? I hurt my hand/finger golfing on Friday. I know, boo-hoo, but you try typing 100,000 words and using the mouse's scroll-wheel with an index finger three times its normal size.

Here's the part where I tell you how I like the outdoors, summertime, the beach and traveling, while all of the above is true(especially the part about the beach), it seems to be a pretty common start to everyone's profile. So, here is the not so generic stuff. I've been on the news twice in the last 6 months for the most random reasons, I religiously check the Ocearch website daily(they track sharks), people in costumes really freak me out (long story), Shawn Michaels actually retweeted me once and Duckrabbit is my favorite craft beer. Additionally, I have the most awesome doberman in the 252 area code, I volunteer at a tiger rescue, I'm a die-hard UNC fan and Community is one of the best shows on TV that you've probably never heard of. I have awesome family and friends, packing up on Friday and going camping at the beach is always a option, and there's something very awesome about a girl that can throw caution to the wind and take a risk every once in a while.If you want to know more, message me, I actually paid and can message you back!

As you all know, the Valles Caldera National Preserve (VCNP) is a treasure located right in our back yard. Its wealth of cultural, historic, recreational and educational opportunities are framed everywhere by beautiful scenery. Currently, the Valles Caldera Trust is charged with protecting and preserving the preserve. Additionally, the Valles Caldera Preservation Act of 2000 mandates that the Trust achieve financial self-sustainability by the year 2015.
Recurrent issues have dominated discussions about the VCNP almost from the beginning. Foremost are public accessibility and financial self-sufficiency.
While permitted recreational activities are increasing in number and variety, they remain structured, confined to small areas of the preserve and expensive. Trails within the VCNP are open for a fee at appointed times and see little use compared with those of Bandelier National Monument. Many in Los Alamos would like to be able to hike in the VCNP, as they do Bandelier, at their own leisure and for a reasonable fee.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A man who held three women for a decade in his Cleveland home said authorities missed an opportunity to catch him in 2004, because his picture should have been captured by a school security camera minutes before he abducted one of his victims, according to interrogation videotapes that became public Friday.
In the video, deceased kidnapper Ariel Castro says cameras outside Gina DeJesus' school should have captured him there 15 minutes before the then-14-year-old girl was abducted.
"You could have broke the case right then and there," Castro told police during a recorded interview that was obtained by NBC and first reported Friday on the "Today" show.
Cleveland police did not respond to requests for comment regarding Castro's claim that there was a missed opportunity to catch him after DeJesus disappeared.
The recording shows the former school-bus driver eating a slice of pizza and later pacing the room during a reportedly four-hour interrogation in which he told police he had used victim Amanda Berry's cell phone to call her mother and say she was alive.
"I think I said something ... that I have her daughter and that she's OK, and that she's my wife now — something like that, you know, probably not the exact words," he told investigators.
Castro also describes what he considered a close call: a girlfriend spotted a television on in a room occupied by victim Michelle Knight. Castro told police that made him think he might be caught.
Castro, 53, was a month into his life sentence when he hanged himself in his prison cell Tuesday night. A funeral home picked up his body Friday from the Franklin County Coroner's office on behalf of Castro's family.
In the recording of his interrogation following his May arrest, Castro, handcuffed and dressed in dark clothes, is asked about suicidal thoughts. A search of Castro's home had turned up a 2004 confession note in which he wrote he wanted "to put an end" to his life.
"And what about suicide? You still?" an investigator asked him.
"I just want to crash through that window," Castro answered.

Colorful Tahini
February 24th 2015By Amalia Katz-Magen
When preparing fresh tahini spread at home, it's important to use high quality raw tahini. I use Tahini Al-Arz*, which is beloved by Israeli chefs, partly for its taste and partly for the fact that it's considered to be one of the richest in calcium.

Serve this salad with wholegrain sourdough bread for a delicious light lunch or, without the bread, as an appetizer before the main meal.
Beet Wellington
March 9th 2014By Dina Cheney
Here's a vegetarian twist on a classic, upscale Continental dish (which normally includes filet mignon, pâté, and truffles); but this version is inexpensive, easy (if somewhat time-consuming) to prepare, and meat-free. Rich red wine, earthy mushrooms, creamy herb-flecked goat cheese, sweet roasted beets, and flaky buttery crust meld in a harmonious, luxurious whole ideal for holidays and even weeknights. A velvety Pinot Noir sauce tops it off (though if you're time-pressed, the dish is delicious without it).

Ever tried pepperoni beets? I can eat them every day. The smoky flavorful treat is a great snack, but it also works well atop pizza. Mix up the beet greens and some goat cheese and you got a gourmet pizza to go.
Beet Latkes with Horseradish and Smoked Fish
December 17th 2014By Shoshana Ohriner
These Beet Latkes topped with Horseradish and Smoked Fish are crispy and just a bit sweet with a nice kick of spicy from the horseradish and smokiness from the fish. I discovered that using the sprializer to cut the beets yields the crispiest latkes, but if you don't have a spiralizer, grated beets will work too.
Beet Green Stuffed Beets
February 3rd 2014By Tamar Genger MA, RD
I am a little obsessed with beets at the moment. I love how healthy they are and that I can get beet root with beet greens when I get them, so that I have two kinds of vegetables in one. I also really like using both the roots and the greens in one dish. That was how this dish came about and I really love it. If you are not a big beet fan, you might still like this, but scoop out as much flesh as you can so there is less beet to eat.
Beet and Pineapple Granita
July 17th 2013By Sina Mizrahi
For a simple way to stay cool this summer, try a refreshing granita. It has a smooth, velvety texture similar to sorbet and packs a lot of flavor in each bite. Try this tropical combination with the lime and pineapple, you won't even know there are beets inside!
Beet and Goat Cheese Crostini with Caramelized Onions
July 18th 2013By Sina Mizrahi
One of my favorite flavor combinations is beets and goat cheese. The hint of sweetness from the beets complements the creamy, distinct flavor of the cheese. In this appetizer, I added the caramelized onions and hint of chives for a truly outstanding hors d'oeuvre.
