Guys & Girls:
Pretty average college students! Dress for comfort during the week and dress up on the weekends/night time!
Party Scene:
Always something to do no matter what age you are!
I love my major, the entire program, and the teaching staff. I felt overly prepared for graduate school and was accepted to multiple schools. Heavy workload but worth it.
Health & Safety:
I have always felt very safe both on and off campus. It is brightly lit everywhere and there are always people out and about. The crime rate is very low.
It costs an arm and a leg to park on campus. Off campus is relatively cheap but nowhere near classes.
Anyone who has watched a Penn State game knows that our athletics program is one of the best there is. We are all a family behind all sports (not just football) and I think the best part is that academics are just as important to the athletes and coaches.
We Are...... Penn State!!!!! If you have ever been to a Penn State football game you understand how much athletics are important at our school. We are a Division I school and our athletics work extremely hard to show off our talent. We've had the biggest student section for college football games for a few years now and will continue to have one because there is no other like blue and white pride!
Campus Quality:
Penn State's campus life is amazing!!! The student union is huge and has a lot to offer for example, fast food places, Starbucks, there is a bank and computer lab upstairs. On the weekends there are movie nights and game nights which are very popular. Aside from that, there are over hundreds of organizations and clubs to become apart of, including Greek life which is a huge part of Penn State.
Classes rarely get cancelled. They are more likely to get cancelled by your individual professors than a campus-wide closure. It rains a lot during the fall/spring, and then during the winter it snows a lot. Some of the sidewalks are heated but otherwise it gets really slippery.
Health & Safety:
The safety and security is pretty good at my campus. I felt very safe on campus throughout the whole entire year and nothing was stolen from me or anyone on my floor. I know there were incidents of stolen property from the gyms but that's about the only thing I heard of.
Off-Campus Dining:
I have online classes and can eat wherever I want. However main campus is known for great eateries and a great local community surrounding the school
The campus is very strict with enforcing rules and making sure they are being followed. The police are very strict with underage drinking especially. There numerous numbers of underages being handed out every year and the festivities throughout the year, like "State Patty's Day" don't help to bring that number down. The school is also very very strict with the honor code of conduct, if you are caught cheated there is a very good chance of you being expelled from the university.
I love my major. Penn State world campus is flexible and offers online courses as well as online honor societies, and a Psychology Club. The teachers find very inventive ways to make the online classes as interactive as possible.
Drug Safety:
I don't think the drug scene is very big, but just walking around you can smell pot from some of the dorm rooms. Drinking is more prevalent, but it is more common off campus. I was never pressured into either even though I know a few people that partake in those activities.
Health & Safety:
I feel very safe on campus. There are also emergency boxes throughout campus that you can use to call police if necessary. The only way to get into a residence hall is to swipe your student id (you are also only allowed access to the residence hall you live in) or hope someone else holds the door open for you when they swipe in.
Campus Quality:
I love absolutely everything about my school. It is so big and so are the possibilities. I'm starting my sophomore year soon and already I have been a part of THON, a Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, also the largest student run organization in the world. I have joined a business club in the Smeal College of Business at Penn State and become an executive member. My school has just about everything you are looking for, from starting your own club to providing you help to get an internship with some of the largest companies on the east coast.
I plan on having an internship. I believe the Psychology department requires one. Internships are very important to gain real world experience, and an invaluable networking opportunity for those in school.
Penn State challenges you to get into the major that you want but it is quite do-able. The GPA requirements push you to excell without putting too much stress on the student.
Guys & Girls:
Guys at Penn State are great! They always want to have a good time and you can find guy-friends from any stereotype you could think of!
I absolutely love Penn State football, whats not to love! The student section is like living in another world and the energy is insane. One of the main reasons I went to Penn State is for big football games, and they did not dissapoint.
Off-Campus Dining:
Most of the sit-down resturants are more pricey, especially for a college student however all of the fast food restuarants you could want plus some State College specials are all reasonably priced.
Most of the professors I have had are competent and really knowledgable in their subject. I love how registration is all online, so it is very easy and convenient.
I just switched to psychology, so next semester will actually be my first time experiencing the opportunities for this major. Although as a previous intended accounting major I can say that the curriculum is challenging in order to prepare you. The opportunities for internships are endless.
We have bus shuttles that take you across campus and downtown, which is very convenient because campus is huge and it can take a while to get from class to class. As for the buses that venture away from campus, I am satisfy as there are buses to pretty much all the places that matter.
I enjoyed the major however job placement is on the low end.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Despite common reservations about the location and climate, most Penn State students are fiercely loyal to their alma mater. Penn State boasts one of the largest alumni populations in the United States; graduates are proud of their degrees, and employers recognize the University's name immediately. Although the campus is located in a very rural area, school is technologically up-to-date and on the cutting-edge of current research.
Aside from academics, PSU is also known for its social scene, especially in relation to sports and parties. Nittany Lion football—home of the 2008 Big Ten Champions—is a national draw and a point of pride for both the University and the town of State College. For anyone interested in playing or watching varsity sports, PSU is a top choice. Penn State has also been ranked highly by many polls and "party school" surveys as one of the top party schools in the nation. While it certainly isn't the wildest town, these rankings are definitely accurate. The small-town setting and large-school atmosphere makes for little else in the way of entertainment, so it can be hard to avoid encountering the party scene during your time as a student. Still, the mix of work and leisure seems to work well for most of the student body, and academic standards at Penn State remain relatively high. It's easy to spend four years at Penn State as an ever-serious student, focused completely on whatever you choose to study. With so many opportunities to relax nearby, balance and moderation are some of the best skills to learn from your four years in college.

Nebraska Senior
40: 4.80 (estimated)
Has a decent first step and shows some straight-line burst off the edge. Plays with a good motor and keeps working to the ball and quarterback. Shows ability to make plays on the backside pursuit and keeps working laterally down the line. Shows some ability to get leverage at the point of attack vs. the run.
Struggles to get off blocks and make plays at the point of attack. Gets jolted back by the tight end at the point of attack and struggles at times to set the edge. Doesn't have the burst or short-area burst to turn the corner. Doesn't always get a good jump off the snap, which limits his ability to get leverage vs. the run and beat the tackle on the edge as a pass rusher. Lacks the hips, athleticism, or range to really make an impact in space. Struggles to disengage as a pass rusher and gets ridden wide and redirected.
Allen was listed closer to 265 at Nebraska, so his 273 at the Senior Bowl suggests he's committed to playing defensive end rather than converting to outside linebacker. Which is a good move for his future. He was a three-year starter. His production dropped off slightly this past year as he had 65 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks after a 51 tackle, 12 for loss, and 5 sacks, and I contribute it to the lack of Suh on the line. Allen is a nice player, but was never really an impact player for Nebraska. He has a four-year old son.
Allen is a player that was smart to bulk up, because he lacks the pass rushing potential to be an impact pass rusher. He's going to have to get better defending the run. At times watching him, you would think that he was more like 245 when it came to playing the run. I think he has potential to develop there, but he'll be a work in progress. Ultimately, the hope for Allen is that with his strong motor and if he develops the ability to be a better run defender, then he can be a nice rotation player and a clone of Chauncey Davis. As a pass rusher, he has some potential as a bull rusher, but lacks the short-area burst to consistently challenge the edge. He'll be lucky to have more than 2-3 sacks in a season. He's a guy that I think can develop down the road as a solid rotation player, but I'm not convinced he's a guy that will stick right away, but by his third summer or so, I see him finding a niche as a No. 4 defensive end somewhere. But unless a team falls in love with his motor, he's going to have difficulty sticking long-term with one team and he'll likely be a journeyman.
Allen would be a nice developmental replacement for Davis as the fourth guy in their defensive end rotation, but he offers little that is an improvement over Davis. He doesn't look like he's going to be an upgrade as a pass rusher or run defender. The best you could probably hope is he makes the practice squad, stick around for a summer or two, and then stick as the fourth guy in the rotation to provide help on run downs.
Because he can make a rotation, Allen is a decent late round prospect, but would be a reach before the sixth or seventh round.

Strength: 2.0
Quickness: 2.5

… never to be used in business.
October has been a good month running wise. Since this is my first Autumn in the Alps I wasn't sure what to expect. The weather has been pretty dry and mild with only a couple of days of low snowfall which didn't stick around for long. This means a lot of the high mountains have still be runnable, so I've been making the most of it!

The following blog is not just a list of foods but a more informative, eclectic mixture of their uses and how you can benefit my including them in your diet.
Food and therefore your diet is a complex interaction. Restriction of foods should only come about as the result of your taking the time to experiment and see what works for you.
You should note that this approach to eating isn't particularly a short-term fix but something you should try over a length of time such as 6weeks, to allow for sufficient metabolic uptake of the micronutrients, vitamins and minerals present within the foodstuffs.
2013 went off with a bang at this years Hardmoors 30.
A cold but bright start to the year meant great conditions for a good race. With the recent wet weather this meant the Cleveland Way coastal path was pretty churned up and hard work, but this is a course of two halves — the fast cinder track and hilly coastal path.
Here is a list of remaining stock and sizes. Prices don't include postage. Please email me if you're interested and arrange payment/delivery.
I will keep this list updated as stock is sold, cheers!
I've not done a huge number of miles in these, but wanted to give a quick overview of how I've found them so far.
There's a lot of hype surrounding this shoe. NO they won't make you run like Kilian, but the are inspired from his input and race needs and therefore seem to give you everything you need without the fluff which usually comes with a new shoe.
After the Hardmoors 60, I wanted to post an update of my training during September as build up to the race.
I had 2 weeks rest at the start of August after a heavy period of racing, then planned a 6 week phase to build for the 60 miler.
Since the dark nights are creeping in and the sun is hugging the rooftops at noon, it's time to plan races for the year ahead.
I wanted to race the Lakeland 50, but sadly this was full. (Un)luckily there were still spaces for the 100! So this will be my A race for 2013.
Here we go again… 2011 was the inaugural event of the Hardmoors 60 race, from Saltburn to Filey with a 10 mile loop on the end to make up the distance. This year we were starting in Guisborough and getting a 10 mile warm up before we hit the coast – a much more preferred option by all of the runners!
Side note: If anyone has pictures I could use for this blog, please email me – this 1200+ word article could get a bit boring without pretty pictures to look at!
The Hardmoors 60 is almost upon us. On Saturday 29th September we'll be setting off from the market town of Guisborough to run 60 miles along the Cleveland Way down to Filey. This route has some of the finest coastal paths in England, and following the Heritage Coastline you get to run through historic towns such as Staithes, Whitby and Robin Hoods Bay.

I've been looking through some data of my training and race results, so thought I'd post a quick recap of the year so far.
January – 87 mi, 2,485 ft – 12:19 hrs
February – 122 mi, 2,882 ft – 16:09 hrs
March – 100 mi, 8,999 ft – 15:42 hrs
April – 146 mi, 19,970 ft – 32:44 hrs
May – 183 mi, 30,373 ft – 36:12 hrs
June – 244 mi, 36,100 ft – 43:59 hrs
Jul – 205 mi, 22,242 ft – 30:21 hrs
As you can see it was a pretty slow start to the year due to shifts at work, but the mileage and ascent eventually increased.
Race wise it has been a real mixed bag this year.
Hardmoors 30 (Jan 1st)— DNF
Wensleydale Wander (March) — 5th
Hardmoors 110 (May)— DNF
Swaledale Marathon (June) — 9th
Osmotherley Phoenix (July 7th) — 6th
Thunder Run (July) — 7th M5 team
Borrowdale Fell Race (Aug 4th) — 179th
Last night I ran this short (10k) fell race from Swainby, part of the Esk Valley Fell Club's Summer Championship.
Conditions were great and there was a good turn out. I decided to wear the Vibram's as the moors had dried up well on the tops.
Winter training is upon us and now is the time to start planning for the 2012 season.
For any club runners wanting to improve fitness over winter, I can recommend the following schedule as a training guide. The goal of Lydiard's training programme is to maximise aerobic fitness, this is key before even thinking about anaerobic intervals/sprints etc.
High aerobic or Steady State running is roughly at the same pace you'd run a 10 mile race +5/15 seconds per mile.
This is strong relaxed running, maximising the safe aerobic pressure being placed on the cardiac system. For more detailed information on this training programme please refer to the book Running with Lydiard, or refer to this pdf document which covers the important facts.
Monday – 1 hour
Tuesday – 1.5 hours
Wednesday – 1 hour
Thursday – 1.5 to 2 hours
Friday – 1 hour
Saturday – 2 hours +
Sunday – 1.5 hours
The above is a basic schedule of consistent running to aim for. To start with just run against the watch and not bother about mileage or pace: the time spent training is the important part.
Monday – 10 miles (15km) at 1/2 effort – undulating course
Tuesday – 15 miles (25km) at 1/4 effort – reasonably flat course
Wednesday – 12 miles (20km) at 1/2 effort – hilly course
Thursday – 18 miles (30km) at 1/4 effort – reasonably flat course
Friday – 10 miles (15km) at 3/4 effort – flat course
Saturday – 22 miles (35km) at 1/4 effort – reasonably flat course
Sunday – 15 miles (25km) at 1/4 effort – any type of terrain
The above is an example of the mileage a top athlete who is training for the marathon would run. This is to be used as a guide only, but any runner can take key elements from this schedule to improve their overall fitness and performance;
– 3 long runs a week (2 hours or more) are key in developing capillaries in the muscles for better oxygen uptake.
– continued and sustained efforts close to your Steady State are more beneficial than two shorter runs.
– any extra running on top of this will aid fitness further, even 15 minutes jogging every morning.
– running should be relaxed and comfortable. Always finish a run knowing you could have ran faster.
Please email me if you have any questions or wish to know more about the training plan outlined above.
The Vivobarefoot Neo Trail has been my shoe of choice since its launch in August. In that time the shoe has seen me through 30+ mile training runs, the Hardmoors 60 race and much more.
The upper is very durable with a good water repellant coating, very good for the winter months. I find that on hotter days your foot can sweat a bit on the inside (you notice this when running sockless, which I would recommend as the liner is super comfy).
The best part of this shoe is the sole. 2mm midsole with 4mm deep lugs that offer plenty of grip on all sorts of terrain. I'd say this is a great 3 season off-road shoe for the UK. Vivobarefoot class it as a trail shoe, but it will cope with more demanding fell running with ease.
I will update with more info re durability etc throughout Autumn/Winter but if you're looking for a UK friendly barefoot trail shoe, look no further!
Sorry for the Blog Silence of late, here's a quick catch up of what's been going on:
63.5 miles from Saltburn to Filey, with around 10,000′ of vertical. A tough but beautiful course, I had a strong race until the last quarter and finished joint 5th place in 12'45. Will be back next year on the revised course fitter, stronger and (hopefully) faster.
I ran this with friends as this was their first attempt at a marathon. We got round in 4'48, a great effort by them on an undulating course in grim weather. We'll not mention the guy in 3rd who got the bus at mile 20!
The plan is to work on some quality training over winter ready for more Ultras in 2012. Qualification for UTMB is top of the list, so that means a good 100 miler is on the cards. Also is the Bob Graham Round which never transpired this year. The plan is to keep this low key and just do it as a solo training run, no need for cavalry!
Runfree.co.uk has been keeping me really busy and I have to say I have been shocked at the success we have had so far. The barefoot running community is growing quickly and I think 2012 will be the year of Barefoot.
I am looking to put on coached natural running sessions, which I will post up on the Runfree blog (coming soon). This will also be on our Facebook page and Twitter.
The Swaledale Marathon is a 23.2 mile anti-clockwise route of some of the most beautiful (and bleak) places in the Yorkshire Dales. With around 4000′ of ascent it's also tough enough to warrant the 'Marathon' badge despite coming up 3 miles short (it certainly feels like you've ran a Marathon once you've finished).
18 runs
160.92 miles
22 hrs 42 mins
14, 908′ elevation
7.1 mph average
May kicked off with the Keswick Half Marathon. 1hr 31 and 39th overall wasn't too bad for a hilly course (did I mention the wind?) Results here.
The aim of this month was to get some good hilly runs in the legs ready for the Swaledale Marathon on June 11th. A couple of recce runs around Reeth to get familiar with the course early on should help on the day of the race.
You can view a good 18 mile breakthrough run on my local trails via Garmin Connect. This was a long run intending to replicate race–pace over similar terrain. Just under 2 weeks left until race day; tomorrow will be my last 'session' 10 x 400m before tapering down – can't wait to get stuck in!
This week has been a bit of a quiet one on the running front. I started to feel twinges in the right knee which has progressively been getting worse over the course of the week. A couple of easy runs on Monday and Tuesday went ok but the hills got me on Wednesday. This sadly resulted in no run at the Coniston 14+ on Saturday which was a shame, but decided to make the most of a bad job and walk part way up Coniston Old Man with my dog! It's been a glorious weekend mixed with sunburn, sand and fish n chips — Summer is here at last it seems.
The injury appears to be good old ITBS (Illiotibial Band Syndrome) caused from tight QLs and Glutes. A visit to the sports physio on Wednesday should loosen everything off (and cause a few tears of pain in doing so) and get me back running in no time.
This recent injury has brought into light the importance of good running form and recovery. These are two very important aspects of training which are commonly overlooked.
After a race you should allow the body time to recover and don't over–stress the system with hard runs when the body isn't ready, i.e long tempo runs, speed sessions, hill session etc. This can result in poor running form due to fatigue; increasing the chance of injury through compensation for tight/tired muscles.
Core exercise and stretching such as Pilates is recommended for anyone training regularly, and don't forget to work on your running form by including Strides into some of your runs: – 100 yard efforts preferably barefoot on grass ran at 80% effort. This will help engage your muscles into good form for strong running and break the routine of the weekly plod. Also if your race calendar is choca–block, a regular visit to a good sports physio for a deep tissue massage is worth their weight in gold.
Happy Running!

Columbia City jumped out to a 11-0 lead to start the game and held the Lady Redskins to a slim two points in the first quarter off a pair of free throws (19-2).
Macie Hinen got four of her eight points in the last two minutes of the first quarter.
Senior Sidney Bunyan scored four of Columbia CityŌĆÖs 11 second quarter points against North Side.
Lady Eagle basketball moved to 2-4 Friday, hosting and defeating Eastside, 47-32.
It was ŌĆśBuscoŌĆÖs first win in three games.
Aggressive play by the defense set the tone early in the game.
The Lady Blazers managed just two field goal attempts in the first quarter; in the opening three minutes of the game and the second attempt was not made until there were two seconds left in the period.
However, it was not the quickest start for the Lady Eagles offense either.

SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö This yearŌĆÖs Columbia City-Whitko rivalry game didnŌĆÖt come down to a last-second shot like last year.
In fact, Columbia City took the lead 3:30 into the game and never looked back, winning 61-41.
But the loss wasnŌĆÖt from lack of Wildcat effort, more like bad luck.
Expected Whitko starter Lucky Winters was out of the game with an ACL tear, and Head Coach Rob Irwin isnŌĆÖt sure of his status.
Logan IrwinŌĆÖs 20 points was about half of the WildcatsŌĆÖ offensive output.
COLUMBIA CITY - The first reading of ordinance 2011-13 took place Tuesday night at the Columbia City Common Council meeting.
The ordinance pertains to the 2012 salaries for elected officials.
Only one adjustment is being proposed: a raise of over $7,000 for the office of the mayor of Columbia City.
Mayor Jim Fleck iterated that the raise has nothing to do with an individual, but rather the position itself.
ŌĆ£I see it as compensation for a position,ŌĆØ said Fleck. ŌĆ£You treat it as you would according to any raises or denial of raises.ŌĆØ

Juan Pablo Galavis
Juan Pablo Galavis: Men Are More Logical Than Women (VIDEO)
VH1's Couples Therapy has made us say something we never thought we would: Poor Juan Pablo Galavis. Until now. Nikki Ferrell has come across as a bit of a diva on the show, but her all-about-me behavior pales in comparison to the bomb the Pabs drops in this clip for the upcoming September 24 episode. In it, JPG inserts his foot in his mouth in a way we're still having trouble swallowing.
During a group session, when trying to explain why he banned Nikki from attending some of his Vegas club appearances, Juan says it's better for the Nikster to stay home to avoid her getting jelly of the women fawning over El Bachelor. (It should be noted that this was after an earlier incident of jealousy and miscommunication on both ends.)
But it's JPG's rationalization of leaving Nikki at home that's really the issue. "This is what guys think because we're different," he says. "We're more logical, we're not that sensitive." Cue every woman in Therapy mentally slapping him upside the head.
Making a blanket statement about a group of people based on their gender, race, sexual orientation, country of origin, religious affiliation, body type, or whatever subcategory you want to insert here is one of the least logical things you can do. It's also one of the least helpful in terms of reaching genuine understanding between humans — especially a couple. Not to mention, whether she's logical or not has nothing to do with whether she should trust you at a club event.
Here's some friendly advice, Juan: Next time you speak, the logical thing to do is to think about what you're saying first, and to really examine how the gender stereotypes you're citing will affect the women in your life — including your daughter. Ees not OK.
Watch the whole exchange here, then tell us in the comments what you think of JPG's take on gender relations.

How do I get a boy to ask me out? Is my best-friend jelous of me?
Please read it all... Sorry if its long... Okay, so my best friend Sabrina had a party last week and so I met this guy who was realllllyyyyy cute.... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Forget what your friend thinks or says. It's your life and the person who you are interested in. If she really liked this guy, she would have talked to him by now. It sounds like she's trying to limit the people you date by influencing your choices through her own actions and words. Don't let her control you like that! I've had friends like this in the past. They are no longer my friends. I've learned what's best for me and my life. What's the worst that could happen? She'll stop talking to you. If she's a real friend, this would never happen. And if she does stop talking to you over childish stuff like this (not calling you or the guy or your emotions childish, just her actions), then she was never your friend to begin with.
Also, if she's your friend, then you should know what she thinks about you already. Just sit her jealous ass down and ask her.
1. No telling. If you like him, you should talk to him about it, that way you'll know for sure.
2. I have no idea. I think someone mentioned to get her drunk? I wouldn't recommend this since she's probably underage. But alcohol does hold the magic of allowing the person to loosen up and reveal how they truly feel.
What Guys Said 11
1. well this might take sometime. You need to get control over him and if you really want to date him ask him out. Say I have gotten to know you more and grown even more fond of you and would like to take things more seriously and to the next step...
2. I might sound sexist but really all girls are not loyal best friends. Loyal might be a very harsh word but what I'm trying to say is you are best friends but competition and jealousy always comes in between. Ignore her and follow your heart.
I think she or you don't know what best friend is...but anyway I don't think a best-friend should try to compete with you and try to make you feel bad...just keep talking to him and he'll feel better and ask you out...its gonna break all the shyness he has if you talk to him and be easy-going with him
cant you make the first move . I thought we had equal rights . don't we have equal responsibilities too ?
and its nice to see that you care about looks only . guess I'm going to die alone becuase I'm ugly
okay so 1. I don't have anything against making moves... and
2. He isn't the most handsome guy ever... but he is really sweet and stuff, and that is basically what I look into a guy and only a little on his looks.
Im not that selfish
so if you havnt got anything against making the first move... why don't you?
i don't know... cause I also want to meet him better... I met him at a party... but if he doesn't ask me out, I WILL :)
1. why does he have to ask you out? ask him and he will say yes guaranteed 100%
2. I'm sure your best mate thinks a lot of you there's nothing you need to know that's on her mind other than she's a little jealous. her saying are you desperate is reverse phyciology, she's basically trying to put you off him JEL!

Hometown: Lawrence, Kansas
Current neighborhood: Downtown Kansas City, Missouri
Who or what is your sidekick? Frankie, my pointer mix with an enormous vertical leap. No joke, she can scale a tree. Career high is maybe 12 feet off the ground. Traffic stops when we're out on walks.
What career would you choose in an alternate reality? This is hard because I've honestly never considered anything else since I was about 15. I hope the answer is that I would teach or do something with a nonprofit like Big Brothers Big Sisters, but if it turns out that I'm not as altruistic as I hope, sometimes I close my eyes and imagine tending bar on a beach somewhere.
What was the last local restaurant you patronized? El Patrón. Can't get enough of their tacos.
Where do you drink? In order: my couch, the Phoenix, Quaff, Peanut and Caddy Shack. I don't stray far, huh?
Favorite arts organization: Crossroads Arts District because of First Fridays.
Favorite place to spend a significant portion of your paycheck: Restaurants. Kansas City is one of the best eating towns in the country, one of the reasons I like it here. Le Fou Frog, Justus Drugstore, Grand Street Café, Garozzo's, Oklahoma Joe's. My body gets very confused — it's alternately told to digest a delicious pulled-pork Z-Man with fries and then asked to swim it off.
What local phenomenon do you think is overrated? Trader Joe's. I mean, it's a good grocery store. But on the other hand, it's a good grocery store.
Where do you like to take out-of-town guests? We eat, go to a Royals game, the college basketball experience and/or a show. Mine are a simple people.
Finish this sentence: "Kansas City screwed up when it ____" Didn't build a downtown baseball stadium. I know that's old news by now, but I still think about it. The smart and economically responsible thing was to renovate the K. The awesome thing would've been to build downtown.
Finish this sentence: "Kansas City got it right when it _____" Built KCI the way it did. One of the best parts of living here is the convenience of everything. The highway system makes it absurdly easy to get virtually anywhere from virtually anywhere, and the airport is the easiest in the country to get in and out. I've made it from my place downtown through security in 33 minutes, and that's parking in the economy lot, for crap's sake. I travel a lot and am always happy to be back home.
What TV show are you embarrassed to admit you watch? I'm actually embarrassed to admit I don't watch a whole lot of TV, and I hate that saying that makes me sound pretentious. I wish I watched more, actually, but the day always seems to run out on me.
____ take up a lot of space in my iTunes: The Black Keys' badass song catalog, and nerdy podcasts like This American Life and Freakonomics.
What movie do you watch at once a year? A Christmas Story. I might fight anyone, depending on how big they are, who doesn't love this movie. My family is spread around the country, but my favorite tradition is one night over Christmas, when we watch Ralphie and also How the Grinch Stole Christmas and just go to town on nachos, wing dip (if you don't know, Google it, and it will change your life) and this ridiculously good food that my Korean step-sister-in-law makes.
Celebrity you'd like to take on a gondola ride: Blake Lively. She's so … smart.
Favorite person or thing to follow on Twitter: Shit My Dad Says is the best, but he hardly tweets anymore, so I'll say that Gregg Doyel is pretty entertaining. Locally, Kim English and Frank Martin are pretty good. Tyshawn Taylor is hilarious but in a very unintentional way. You know, I'm not sure I've found a lot of 10s. Lot of 7s and 8s, though, which is good enough.
Person or thing you find really irritating at this moment: The Penn State grossness. It's absolutely evil and disgusting, obviously, but there is also a lot of reaction that just isn't rooted in reality. David Brooks wrote an excellent piece about this, pointing out that all of us are flawed in some ways that are very uncomfortable.
What subscription — print, digital, etc. — do you value most? The Kansas City Star! Second place is a tie between the iPad versions of Sports Illustrated and Esquire.
What is your most embarrassing dating moment? Well, there was the time in high school when my mom came home from work unexpectedly early …
What was the most important thing you learned in school? Turn it in. And don't take authority figures too seriously.
Finish this sentence: "People might be surprised to know that I ____" Am an amazing Pop-A-Shot player.
Describe a recent triumph: I talked Verizon into giving me a discounted iPhone and throwing in a car charger. I'm a painfully bad negotiator. Not sure what got into me.

YIELD: Makes 18 blini
Make the beluga lentil caviar: Rinse the lentils and put them in a small pot with the water. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for about 20 minutes, or until the lentils are soft.
Drain the cooked lentils and place them in medium bowl. Add the salt, capers, and caper brine. Mix well and refrigerate for a minimum of 2 hours, and a maxi¬mum of 2 days.
Make the vegan sauce: Mix the vegan mayonnaise with the Miso Mayo in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
Make the blini: In a medium bowl, combine the flours and baking powder. Whisk the nondairy milk and melted butter into the flour until a batter forms. Allow the batter to rest a few minutes.
Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add a small dab of butter to the pan or spray it with nonstick cooking spray. To form each blin, pour a little more than a tablespoon of batter into the pan. You can usually cook 4 to 6 blini at a time. Wait until the pancakes begin to show air bubbles all over the tops and the bottoms are brown. Flip the blini over and cook until golden brown.
Using the back of a spoon, spread a small amount of the Vegan Sour "Cream" on each blin, add a teaspoon of the beluga lentil caviar, and top with a pinch of minced chives. Serve immediately.

KPD nuisance raid targets motel drug sales
A police nuisance raid targeted a Mechanicsville motel Thursday that has allegedly been the scene of repeated drug sales, marking the 30th such operation launched in Knoxville since 2010.
The Knoxville Police Department and the Knox County District Attorney General's office served a temporary injunction and nuisance petition against the Royal Inn & Suites, 1914 Ailor Ave.
The injunction, issued by Knox County Criminal Court Judge Steve Sword, names Shantilal Patel and Dharmandra Kumar Patel as the owners of the property and business.
Since April this year, undercover officers and confidential informants have made four cocaine purchases from tenants at the motel, the most recent on Aug. 30.
And according to the petition, the owners of the weekly-rate motel were fully aware of the illicit activity and worked in cooperation with their drug-dealing guests.
Officers with KPD's Repeat Offender Squad spoke to Dharmendra Patel last week about complaints over the drug activity reported in a specific room, and asked him to report any suspicious activity and keep their conversation confidential, according to the petition.
Immediately after the officers left the motel office, Patel called the room to warn that it was under surveillance, the petition states. He was unaware that police were recording his call.
"Clearly, the owners and managers of the Royal Inn are aware of narcotics trafficking on the property, and they take steps to protect drug dealers from police investigations," the petition states.
The motel has been the site of 213 calls for service, along with 30 arrests, within the past two years, said Knox County Assistant District Attorney Sean McDermott.
Tenants were seen leaving the two-story motel with belongings in hand this afternoon as the building was vacated and city Public Service workers boarded up the property.
At least two people were arrested at the scene for outstanding warrants, although details were not immediately available.
The owners have the right to a court hearing within five days, during which time a judge will decide whether to issue a permanent injunction against the business.

Baseball Instinct is rolling out their Top 360 Prospect list and so far through the first 60 player profiles, the Mets have four prospects. 345°. Juan Urbina, LHP Mets 5/31/1993 - The son of Ugeth Urbina, Juan has the bloodlines of an MLBer. He's still growing into his 6'3″ frame and should work in the low 90s from the left side in time. It's his CU, already an above average offering, that makes him one to watch. He repeats well and the CU has hard fade. He also has a SL in the arsenal which is in development. He's a long way off and things will need to click, if they do he has mid-rotation SP upside. ETA 2015. 314°. Jefry Marte, 3B, Mets, 6/21/1991 – A 2011 Futures Game invitee, Marte is one of a few 3B prospects for the Mets that have nice future power potential. His 16% K rate at age 20, is excellent and some bad luck led to the .248 AVG. The 22 doubles and 7 HR in 483 AB in the FSL tell me that Marte is in the early stages of power development but profiles for above average po...

Speaking of loving the Times, this seems as good a time as any to make a few points about Hank Greenberg, dual-class ownership structures, that prig Hassan Elmasry at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, and the great, good benevolence of the Ochs-Sulzberger family. It's simple, really: Notwithstanding whatever noise to the contrary you've been hearing lately, the New York Times Co. will not be sold. Say it again, together: The Times Co. will not be sold. The Sulzbergers have all the power, and — much as one might like to mock their current leader, Arthur Jr., and much as he may have made a series of a stupid strategic decisions — they're not going to let anyone else buy it.
And that's a good thing.
What newspaper do you read, Elmasry, while you're busy withholding your votes for the board-of-directors slate in protest of the dual-class stock structure? And what do you read, Greenberg, while you're either buying or not buying huge numbers of Times Co. shares? Do you read the high-margin USA Today? The high-margin Chicago Tribune? Of course you don't. You read the dual-class, family-controlled New York Times (or the dual-class, family-controlled Wall Street Journal). The Sulzberger family is arguably the greatest force for quality journalism in the United States, if not in the world, and the thing is, you know that. So just go away, please. Buy a different stock if you want better returns. Buy a different stock if you want better corporate governance. But leave this one alone. Because it is what it is, it is what it has always been (the two classes existed when you first bought in, didn't they, Elmasry?), and it's the company behind just about the only newspaper worth reading. Don't screw that up.
Now please let us go back to being glib and superficial about such matters. This earnestness fits poorly.

Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad reached the Asian Champions League semifinals on Tuesday, advancing 5-4 on aggregate after a 2-1 loss to China's Guangzhou Evergrande. Al Ittihad, which beat Guangzhou 4-2 in the first leg of the quarterfinals at Jeddah two weeks ago, secured a semifinal berth thanks to a 78th-minute strike by Fahad Al Muwallad. Lucas Barrios opened for Guangzhou in the 19th minute and Dario Leonardo Conca doubled the advantage in the 35th on a penalty kick. Guangzhou hired Marcello Lippi, who took Italy to the 2006 World Cup title and Juventus to Champions League victory a decade earlier, in May with the goal of becoming the first Chinese team to win the Asian title since 1989. Guangzhou has outlaid plenty of money recruiting talent in an attempt to end that barren run. Al Ittihad is the most successful side in the competition's history with back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005, and has set its sights on a third regional crown. Al Ittihad will face either Iranian...

Exploring leadership and activism
The February AgriPOWER session included discussions on farm transition planning, animal activists and a tour of a dairy farm.
Reporters, please visit our news room located in the Media and Publications section of this site.
The February AgriPOWER session included discussions on farm transition planning, animal activists and a tour of a dairy farm.
Nationwide understands farmers and ranchers are looking for more than an insurance agent. You want a trusted adviser.
Ohio Farm Bureau senior director of policy development and environmental policy, Dr. Larry Antosch, gives a history of water quality and nutrient management issues in Ohio leading to a draft of proposed changes to the Ohio Revised Code dealing with nutrient management. He asks Farm Bureau members to give input on on the proposed changes.
Ohio Farm Bureau State Trustee Lane Osswald from Preble County recently traveled to Chicago to comment on proposed produce food safety rules, at one of three public hearings, on behalf of Ohio farmers.
The deadline for submitting Ag Census forms was Feb. 4, and 1.4 million census forms have already been returned. However, those farmers who did not respond by the original due date will receive another copy of the form in the mail to give them another opportunity. USDA reminds farmers that their farm is important and needs to be counted. It is required by law to respond to the census if you receive a form. NASS will start following up with nonrespondents by March 14 through either a phone call or visit.
Imagine sitting at home in your comfy clothes, kicking up your feet in your favorite chair and having access to all the Farm Bureau experts and information you want, live or on-demand...all at the click of a button.
Thats what were doing, and youre telling us you appreciate it.
The year 2050 seems like a long way off. To an ag teacher or employer, its just around the corner. How do you best prepare students to be innovative stewards of the future?
Ohio Farm Bureau Senior Director of Marketing Communications Janet Cassidy shares insight from her day at the Center for Innovative Food Technology's Ohio Food Industry Expo.
Ohio Farm Bureau Vice President of Public Policy Adam Sharp says the organization is digging into the details of Gov. Kasich's two-year budget proposal. In this audio briefing, Sharp highlights agriculture's line items including Ohio Department of Agriculture, Ohio Department of Natural Resources and Ohio State University. Sharp also reviews the policies included in the budget such as nutrient management, rural schools, the Ohio Turnpike and severance and income taxes.
Ohio's county Farm Bureau presidents will be taking their annual trip to Washington, D.C. March 4-6. Check here for the latest updates from Ohio Farm Bureau, media across the state, and the farmers on the ground on Capitol Hill.

Bargain Boat Bits has appointed Jackson's Marine in Geraldton, Western Australia, as its new representative.
Kathy and Trevor Jackson - Bargain Boat Bits appoints Jackson's Marine.
Servicing the Midwest of Western Australia and surrounding areas for over 27 years, Jackson's Marine has gone from strength to strength, buoyed by the support and custom of the community.
The Jacksons believe in returning that support, and repay it with involvement in local projects including the Volunteer Sea Rescue and work experience programs through local senior schools.
Jackson's Marine offer a complete boating service, including new and used boats, trailers and motors, new and used parts and accessories for all makes and models, along with service facilities, finance and insurance.
After a move to new purpose built premises early in 2008 the Jacksons started looking for a way to grow their chandlery business and after careful consideration approached Bargain Boat Bits.
Kathy Jackson, owner explained- 'We needed an avenue to grow our business and feel very positively that by joining Bargain Boat Bits we will be able to achieve the growth we desire'.
Andrew Oakes, General Manager of Bargain Boat Bits commented-'We are delighted to be represented by a dealer of Jackson's Marine standing in the community. We always look for the stores that are forward thinkers'.
Trevor Jackson owner and Dealer Principal added' I very happy to be working with a group of like minded business owners at such an exciting stage in Bargain Boat Bits development.
National chandlery buying group Bargain Boat Bits (BBB) has after nearly 17 years in operation has emerged as Australia's leading boating accessory group.
Initially starting life as a buying group producing a centralised catalogue, BBB today delivers its members some serious buying power, comprehensive marketing resources and support, and some genuine networking ability between members.
With 40 members nationally, including some of Australia's most respected marine retailers, it's no wonder that the group gets so many requests from prospective new members to join.
'BBB started life as a buying group, and there's no question that members enjoy some of the best buying power in the country through our network,' explains BBB General Manager Andrew Oakes.
'We combine bulk ordering from some of Australia's largest and most respected manufacturers and importers, with an indent program where we import full container-loads for the group, thus increasing their retail margin.'
Members are encouraged to deal through the group, which in turn gives Bargain Boat Bits greater buying power and strengthens our market position.'
In addition to highly competitive pricing, excellent profit margins and the BBB rewards program, one of the real advantages to members is the access to proven, best selling brands.
Popular national and international brands sold through the BBB network include Fusion, Piranha, ICOM, Humminbird, Garmin, GME Electrophone, Century Batteries, Minn Kota, Rule and Johnson pumps, Bermuda, Lalizas, Ultra, Pains Wessex, etc, etc, the list goes on!
High quality, full colour multi-page publications are produced for store distribution at varying times throughout the year. With design, printing and distribution organised through the group, members simply determine when they're ready to hit the market.
Bargain Boat Bits
In addition to catalogues, a full range of POS materials, posters, header cards, uniforms and merchandising materials are all available to members, turning the chandlery section of their business into a high impact sales area.
The BBB website (update due October 2008) http://www.bargainboatbits.com.au delivers an ever expanding comprehensive online catalogue, with photographs and retail pricing for many of the products sold through the group. The web presence is growing steadily, both in size and in popularity, with thousands of visitors to the site monthly as new users realise the 24/7 convenience of online shopping.
A sales powerhouse for progressive wholesalers and manufacturers, group research proves the retailing might of the BBB network, controlling some $250 million worth of the marine retailing market.
With chandlery comprising some 25% of member's annual turnover, the group continues to be a fast way for wholesalers and manufacturers to instantly access a significant slice of a lucrative industry.
'Wholesalers are able to make contact with 38 of the country's best marine retailers, offering them a possible path to dramatically increase their annual sales,' Mr. Oakes said.
Bargain Boat Bits Operation Manager Jacqui Oakes said Bargain Boat Bits members were able to enjoy lower purchase prices on products due to their volume buying power.
'Bargain Boat Bits members enjoy many add-on opportunities from being part of the Bargain Boat Bits group,' she said.
'In addition to the lower prices, we also help to get the stores names, out to the customers by providing promotional assistance. BBB members also have the luxury of being one of the first people to be advised of the latest industry developments and new products.'
Franchises and buying groups have grown enormously in popularity over the past 20 years as operators realise the power and value of collective dealings.
Options that are beyond the reach of single operators can easily be accessed with a group approach.
Professional web designers, specialist retail marketers and a team of individual specialists are all on call for BBB members.
Sessions with corporate psychologists, marketing strategists, accountants, key suppliers and successful retailers help ensure the skills of every BBB owner / operator are kept at peak level, and active networking is encouraged between members.
While part of the strongest buying group in the country, each BBB member still operates independently, and has the ability to determine their own destiny.
Without the restrictions of a franchise, the group's structure and focus allows individual operators to compete equally against bigger retailers and mail order houses.
As part of the sharing process, BBB members meet at least once a year for a weekend conference in different venues around Australia.
Sessions are planned to introduce new products and suppliers, share ideas and discuss relevant group issues. Professional development time is also allocated for industry professionals and marketing strategists with these conferences becoming one of the key activities on the BBB annual calendar.
'From day one, the member's objective has been to form a group that provided a way forward for professional minded operators looking to increase their profitability and skills base, it's awesome to see the group as it now stands.
'Ideally, I would like to add more of Australia's best marine retailers into our network, while continuing to focus on serving the members more fully.'
Select geographical vacancies are available for members keen to profit from a long-term association with the BBB group.
For further information on Bargain Boat Bits, please call 03 9589 2773 or email Andrew Oakes- firstname.lastname@example.com

As a freelance designer it is practically impossible if you haven't met already a client who made your life a living hell! They're impossible to miss, but once you're done with them and finished your project, you'll have some really funny memories! There's an awesome, amusing website named ClientsFromHell where you'll find lots of hilarious quotes from terrible clients. After a hard day at work, you may want to check it out, to get your daily dose of laughter.
Here's some of the best quotes we could find. Did you have a 'client from hell' experience? Share it with us!
1. After sending two invoices for payment, I sent another and called the client when the receipt that they had received it came back.
CLIENT: Why are you calling me?
ME: You haven't paid and this is the third invoice I've sent.
CLIENT: It's even more than the last one!
ME: Yes. The contract you signed stated that I would add a late fee for payment.
CLIENT: You mean I have to actually pay you? I thought you were joking!
ME: What on earth made you think that?
CLIENT: You're a freelancer!
ME: And…
CLIENT: Well, you work for free! If you were supposed to be paid, you'd be called a paidlancer or something![divider]
2. "See if we can get the domain name 'foogle.com', that way we get all the people who misspell google. If that's taken, try tahoo, gacebook or qwitter"[divider]
3. CLIENT: "I don't mean to sound racist, but…"
ME: "But what?"
CLIENT: "But the site is too black."
ME: "Like, literally too black?"
CLIENT: "Yes. The background is too black."
ME: "That's not racist. That has nothing to do with race."
CLIENT: "Phew. I can never tell with you black people, what's offensive and what's not."
ME: "I'm actually Lebanese. And, yeah, that one might be a bit racist"[divider]
4. "These stock images are way too expensive, please just remove the watermarks in Photoshop."[divider]
5. "I don't want the navigation or links on my website to be static. I want them to move around randomly like bees all over the site so my site's visitors have to catch them if they really want to click on to the next page. It would be really cool if they could also randomly disappear and reappear in other parts of the page, too."[divider]
6. "The problem with you college students is that you always expect to get paid for the work that you do."[divider]
7. Designed a simple web banner for their etsy shop and a few days later…
Client: "The banner looks terrible its all fuzzy and you cant read it."
Me: "That's odd because I'm looking at your etsy shop now and it looks great."
Client: "No not that one, I also had it printed into a 1.5 meter long banner to hang over my stall at the market. Looks horrible!"[divider]
8. Client: "Your rates are too high! I'll do the design myself, and then you can do the implementation."
Me: "Okay, that's fine, just send me the files when you're finished."
Client: "Just one question- how many centimeters is a pixel?"[divider]
9. "You see, I don't know what I like, I just know what I don't like."[divider]
10. "The only problem we have with the website is, when my friend loads it on his iPhone, it's not as big as on the computer."[divider]
11. "It looks like over time the submit button has begun to fade out a bit. Is it possible to upload a fresh button? I want all the buttons on my site to look new all the time."[divider]
12. "Can we have some spare blank pages on the web site? Just so that we can fill it up later when we feel the need."[divider]
13. Client: Hey, just one final question before I send the deposit. Do you use a PC or a MAC?
Me: I use a MAC.
Client: That is a problem. Do you have access to a PC? I am not a supporter of Apple products.
Me: No, I don't have access to a PC, but this will have little to no effect on the work itself.
Client: I am a Christian and Apple products are sinful, I do not want our website to be created by a product made by this corrupt group. You need only look at their logo, an apple with a bite taken from it. Do you not know the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden? If I allowed you to create my website on a MAC I would be just like Adam, taking a bite of the forbidden fruit.[Silence]
"Take my advise, destroy your mac and repent for when judgement day comes. It shall be you who is cast to hell for your sins."
Me: [Block Contact] [divider]
14. The client sent me two word documents with the same content, for me to use on the website.
ME: Both the documents have the same content. Am I missing something?
CLIENT: Use the second document. The font is smaller[divider]
15. I had a client standing over my shoulder, watching me design a logo. After a few minutes…
CLIENT: Um… can you click faster?[divider]
16. After the client asked specifically for cool colors…
CLIENT: Can you put some cool reds in there?
ME: Red is usually considered very warm.
ME: Any colour can be cool, with the right attitude.[divider]
17. Client: "Can you make the 'About Us' link say 'About Us – Everyone welcome'?"
Me: "Sure, but…why?"
Client: "I'm afraid people might not know they're allowed to click that link. They might think it's private. We need them to know it's okay for them to go there."
Me: "But none of the links on your site are private. Why are you concerned with that specific one?"
Client: "Good point. You'd better add 'Everyone welcome' to all the links on the site."[divider]
18. CLIENT: Should I send the logo as jpg or jpeg?
ME: Send it wtf.
CLIENT: What's that?
ME: I'm joking with you, send it as a png.
CLIENT: Nice try, but I'm not that stupid.[divider]

Euro-IX Patrons
Patron's benefits at a glance
Euro-IX and its IXP membership clearly see the value and benefits of having industry related experts joining in discussions at all levels of Euro-IX communications. The benefits outlined below are directed more towards the patrons with the understanding that one of the Patron's main aims is to make strong contacts, attain real leads and naturally make sales.
The Euro-IX Patronage proposal helps organisations realise this aim by providing the following benefits:
- An increased presence in the IXP community via interaction at biannual Euro- IX Forums where more than 40 IXPs from Europe, Egypt, India, Japan and the United States are strongly represented. There are numerous opportunities for Patron representatives to get to know IXPs on a one to one level and in turn provide the Patrons with a higher awareness of the IXPs needs of today and the future.
At first glance it may seem that only a handful of the largest IXPs will produce any sort of sales to vendors, however a few points should be kept in mind:
- Many of the IXPs support organisations are Universities, Local Government departments and other much larger networks.
- IXPs that might be considered small or medium sized today are likely to become very large tomorrow.
- The customers (mainly ISPs) who are connected to the IXPs now exceed 3,500 across the IXP membership and these connected parties are some of the largest networks in the world. The contacts achieved at Euro-IX may provide a communication channel to these ISPs.
- The Patronage proposal allows organisations to stay in touch with the IXPs that are evolving at a rapid rate and allows them to have two way input as to how these issues of dramatic traffic growth will be overcome.
- Having IXPs use particular vendor products/services in their infrastructure is a potentially strong marketing tool when selling to other markets.
- This is a year long contract giving Patrons access to two Euro-IX Forums and reaches much further than just the European region.
