Kiss her in front of her new boyfriend. I've expected to have my *** kicked as hell, but after that they kept running away from me.
came back with new girl friend and made out in front of her at a bar.
I tried calling her after 4 years of not speaking, just to see how she was doing.
What I am currently doing... turning damning evidence over to the authorities.

You can only screw the nice guy over for so long, before he takes your paper trail and gives it to someone who will take care of that problem for him. ;)
I've never tried to get back at an ex. Waste of life.
Nothing too drastic. Slept with her mum after bumping into her at a mutual friends BBQ. I was a bit tipsy and said to her "I'm gonna smash yer back doors in" in a really seedy tone before asking for a ******. She was an incredibly beautiful woman who I'd caught looking at me a lot. I expected a slap but ended up...smashing her back doors in, instead.Tore her entire family apart too. Job done.

If you think I'm evil then you would understand if I told you what she had done to deserve such retribution but, she had it coming, trust me on that.
left the house for two weeks. slept with another man and purposely left dirty underwear in the hamper for him to see

Product description
"Summoned to the Roman Courts" is the first work by Detlef Liebs, an internationally recognized expert on ancient Roman law, to be made available in English. Originally presented as a series of popular lectures, this book brings to life a thousand years of Roman history through sixteen studies of famous court cases - from the legendary trial of Horatius for the killing of his sister, to the trial of Jesus Christ, to that of the Christian leader Priscillian for heresy. Drawing on a wide variety of ancient sources, the author not only paints a vivid picture of ancient Roman society, but also illuminates how ancient legal practices still profoundly affect how the law is implemented today.

HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert College business administration major Stephanie Agone has been named the 2011 Collegiate Sales and Marketing Award winner by the Buffalo Niagara Sales and Marketing Executive organization. This marks the third time since 2009 a Hilbert student has been selected for this honor, which was presented to Agone at the BNSME Elite Sales and Marketing Awards program held March 5.
The Collegiate Sales and Marketing Award is presented to a college senior in the Buffalo-Niagara region who is considered an up-and-coming leader in the sales or marketing industry. Selection is based on established career plans; work or an internship in the sales or marketing industry; demonstrated sales or marketing success exceeding performance expectations; grade point average; and involvement and contributions to a professional trade organization or community/civic group.
Agone was recognized for her "standard of excellence. Whether it be academics, her internship or any other aspect of her life, Stephanie is a model person who discovers her potential by looking for new challenges. She will be a leader who will have an enduring impact on her profession and her community."
Graduating with a bachelor's degree from Hilbert in May, Agone served as an intern in Independent Health's Human Resources Department. She was recently named an outstanding campus leader and will be included in the 2012 Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.
Agone is a senior in Hilbert's Honors Program and active in the college's Students In Free Enterprise organization.
A Boston resident, she is a graduate of Hamburg High School.
Pictured with Agone, center, are (L to R): Wendy Edson, chairperson of the Professional Studies Division and associate professor of legal studies; Linda Bernstein, professor of business administration; Patrick Heraty, professor of business administration; and Walter Iwanenko, Ph.D., dean of graduate studies and professor of public administration.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

Margaret Macy flees London, disguised as a housemaid, to avoid marriage to a dishonorable man. If she can remain unwed until her next birthday, she will receive an inheritance, and with it, sweet independence. But she never planned on actually working as a servant. And certainly not at Fairbourne Hall—the home of two former suitors. As she fumbles through the first real work of her life, Margaret struggles to keep her identity secret. When a trap is set to force her from hiding, will love or danger find her first?

About The Author:
My Review:
I first read a book from Julie when The Apothecary's Daughter was free at Barnes and Noble for Nook readers. I immediately fell in love with Julie Klassen's writing and felt she captured Jane Austen's essence of writing, as she introduced her readers to great characters and took me back in time as I snuggled up to one of her books. I was one of the readers that pre-ordered this book, The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, and was so excited to not only receive an autograph, tea, and some tea cookies, but receive the book automatically on my Nook the day of it's release.
I absolutely loved this book and felt the storyline was so unique and the storyline moved along at a very good pace. I was quite sad when I finished the book as I fell in love with the characters and was left wanting more. There are so many twists in the plot, which kept me guessing until the very end.
Margaret is the main character, who is faced with the very difficult task of leaving the comfort of her home to being on the streets of London. She eventually is given a job as a housemaid, where she learns rather quickly the hard work that it entrails and the challenges each house servant is faced with. It helps not only to give her a greater appreciation of those who work for her, but also gives her a chance to know the men of Fairbourne Hall, in a way she would not have otherwise.
There are quite a lot of valuable lessons throughout, excitement, and overall a story that will not only have you fall in love with Margaret, Helen, and Nathaniel, but Julie Klassen, too. My suggestion to you: read this book and then read all her other books! She has quickly become one of my favorite authors of all time and is my Jane Austen of today !:)

For two years the crew of 3 Minute Gaps have followed the world's best downhill mountain bike racers around the globe documenting them as they trained, prepared, rode, ate, travelled, raced, celebrated, commiserated, and made sacrifices simply because of the weight of ambition to be the fastest. There is no truer, more accurate and intimate depiction of the hallowed worlds of the very best World Cup rider's than 3 Minute Gaps. Filmed in Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, New Zealand, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, UK, USA, and every round of the 2010 World Cup Series and World Championships.
From multiple World Champions to future World Champions – including Gee Atherton, Sam Hill, Aaron Gwin, Sam Blenkinsop, Brendan Fairclough, Greg Minnaar, Andrew Neethling, Danny Hart, Matti Lehikoinen, Ben Reid, and Josh Bryceland – this film chronicles the new breed of racers who are re-shaping modern downhill racing, and indeed, riding. This movie is more than a Post-It note stuck on a page of mountain bike history, it is a leather bound pop-up book printed on sheets of polished stone with a crystal ball for the contents. For years to come this movie will still be referenced in conversations and discussions about when riding was re-imagined.

Economy and local community
In 2012, our production from oil sands represented around 4% of our total oil and gas production. The project has created thousands of jobs and brings economic benefits. We also work closely with local communities to understand their concerns about the project and to tackle them together.
We directly employ 2,000 staff at our oil sands operation, with thousands more jobs generated in areas such as transport, construction and supplies. From 2005-2012 we invested over $1.25 billion with aboriginal contractors –an important demonstration of the efforts we have made to see benefits flow to communities in the form of education, training and employment. The community of Fort McMurray near our Muskeg River Mine has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
We pay royalties and taxes from our oil sands business to national, regional and local governments in Canada. These funds are helping, for example, to expand healthcare, education and roads.
Communities around our oil sands operations
Shell has a long-term interest in the growth and well being of communities in the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and Industrial Heartland Area, where we have our oil sands operations.
Local consultation
We consult with landowners, residents and local groups to identify their concerns and work towards solutions. To help with this we belong to several local and industry organisations including:
- Oil Sands Developers Group - opens in new window
- Athabasca Tribal Council - opens in new window
- Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association - opens in new window
- Northeast Capital Industrial Association - opens in new window
- Northeast Region Community Awareness and Emergency Response - opens in new window
We built Albian Village to house 2,500 workers near our Jackpine Mine.
To ease pressure on local housing and transport services we built our own accommodation facility near our Jackpine Mine, 75km (46 miles) north of Fort McMurray, to house 2,500 workers.
We also built an airstrip and we run shuttle buses to transport workers, equipment and supplies to our site.
Investment projects
We have invested close to CDN $10M with the local communities in the areas around our oil sands operations since we started up in 2003. These extra investments benefit around 200 organisations, including:
- MacDonald Island Park – Shell contributed $2.5 million to construct a stadium and shared space centre.
- Northern Alberta Institute of Technology – we contributed CDN$2.5 million for new facilities and over CDN$500,000 in student scholarships and bursaries.
- Northern Lights Health Region – Shell contributed $1.2 million to the health region's inner city homeless population of Fort McMurray heath improvement project.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has been grilled by MPs over its decision to approve the appointment of Paul Flowers to chair the Co-operative bank back in 2010.
At a hearing today, the Treasury Select Committee questioned the regulator's decision to approve Flowers' role at the lender, which was rescued last year after running up a £1.5bn capital shortfall.
Treasury Select Committee chairman Andrew Tyrie (pictured) said the regulator's decision to put a "financial illiterate" in charge of its board was a "negligent decision, a very poor decision", according to Reuters.
However, Clive Adamson, director of supervision at the FCA, defended the move.
"I do not think it was a mistake in terms of the decision I made at the time," Adamson said.
"There are lessons to be learned from what happened. Today he would not be approved as we would look for more experience."
Flowers, a Methodist minister with little experience in banking, was interviewed by regulators in 2009 when he joined the Co-op board as a non-executive director. A year later he became non-executive chairman.
The FCA has been forced to launch an investigation into problems at the bank and the probe could lead to fines for the bank and its former directors.
Adamson said when Flowers was appointed, the Co-op had a "somewhat unruly board" of 22 members and that it was important to have someone in place to better chair it.
"My view was Flowers did have the competence to perform the role of non-executive chairman," Adamson said. "Our view is that a non-executive chairman does not run the bank but run the board."

Your Favorite Type of Sushi/Sashimi Fish
I want to get more into Sushi/Sashimi. I have tried about a dozen different types of raw fish and my favorites so far are White Tuna, Red Snapper, Fatty Tuna and Young Yellowtail, or Hamachi. White Tuna and Red Snapper are less fishy than most with very clean flavors but not so tender. The Fatty Tuna, or Toro, melts in your mouth - it's tender, succulent and buttery. Young Yellowtail, or Hamachi, is complex with tons of flavor and everything you would expect from raw fish.
What are your favorites and WHY? Describe using English names please for the newbies since I'm sure many of us have no clue what Maguro or Unagi are :)
Talk is closed, but that doesn't mean the conversations have to stop!

Free Will]
When Choice Is King
As you'd expect
in a culture wedded to mind-body dualism but inhabiting an age of science,
articles and op-eds crop up on a regular basis defending the
soul and its freedom against the threat of universal causation. Science
is in the business of
discovering the material
origins of phenomena, including us, so it necessarily challenges explanations
for behavior that invoke a non-physical, freely willing, causally privileged
mind. But that's exactly the conception of ourselves operating in so much of our
thinking about choice and choosing. So it's no surprise we defend this
conception against science, hoping to keep those nasty
dogs of determinism at bay. The result is that science gets short
shrift and we remain ignorant of why people behave the way they do. Below are
three recent appeals to choice as the unconditioned
originator of behavior, and it's
no coincidence all are from conservatives.
1. Writing for Reason, senior editor Brian Doherty discusses the Andrea Yates insanity defense, which was successful the second time around. He says (emphasis added):
What's striking is that Yate's choice, according to
Doherty, plays a buck-stopping role in the explanation of her actions; he's not
interested in what explains the choice itself. Why not? Because that would
necessarily pass the buck from the purportedly autonomous chooser to her
antecedents, thus undermining responsibility. Insulating choice from explanation
(except to say it's a function of the offender's free will, which begs the
question) works to buttress Doherty's main objective in the piece: to downplay
the usefulness of psychiatry and neuroscience in assessing criminal
responsibility. Since these disciplines can't really explain much, this leaves
room for the traditional intuition that there's a non-physical chooser in
charge. He says there will likely be "permanent gaps between psychiatry and the
law" simply because "metaphysical intangibles such as choice, intention and
judgment" will never be understood scientifically.
2. Another example of pointed anti-naturalism is provided courtesy of arch-conservative Dinesh D'Souza. In a piece on recent murders in Connecticut, he defends the concept of evil as a matter of free choice, nothing explicable by looking at genes or environment. Why do people do horrible things? Not, he says, because they were shaped by nature and nurture, although of course genes and environment have their effects, but simply because they are evil:
It's disturbing that D'Souza supposes the appeal to innate evil reflects a rational comprehension of behavior, since it's precisely the opposite: he's insulating horrific acts from explanation, from understanding them in terms of their causal antecedents. D'Souza's intransigence on this point is perhaps explained by the fact that he supposes that, if people are ultimately explicable in terms of genetics and environment, then "morality is an illusion." So morality needs an uncaused causer somewhere in the person, something culpable because it simply chooses to be evil:
Again, choice is king: it's held to be independent
of how dysfunctional the killers were, something that floats free of any
explanation involving the factors that shaped them. But of course we don't need
to suppose killers are
moral levitators, as Daniel Dennett puts it, to hold them responsible,
although we won't any longer think of them as self-created monsters.
It's of course true that very few killers are natural born, but the choice to kill or run crack doesn't spring from nowhere, but out of a determinate combination of circumstances, environmental and genetic, that shape a person. To think otherwise is to appeal to a mystery, namely contra-causal free will. But like D'Souza, Fisher thinks that we've got to have such freedom since otherwise all is lost:
This of course is an argument ad baculum – from dire consequences – and it establishes nothing about free will. It only shows that Fisher thinks we can't live without it. But he's wrong; the consequences aren't dire. If determinism is true, that is, if we're fully caused to be the way we are, that subtracts nothing from the strength of our will, it doesn't undermine our ability to think and choose rationally, nor does it weaken the impact of our actions on the world. Fisher confuses determinism with fatalism, the idea that no matter what we do, a pre-determined future will transpire. But our actions often make all the difference in how things turn out. Fisher continues:
If we wonder, legitimately, why someone would choose to be swept along by rage, we're inevitably led to consider motivations, impulses, character, situation, etc., all of which involve a causal story that precedes the choice. Fisher's failure to look behind the choice means, finally, that he'll never understand the causes and cures of violence, and all because he must defend a concept of freedom he imagines underpins meaning and morality. Such are the costs of protecting one of our most cherished cultural myths.
So as not to end on a pessimistic note, there's a terrific piece against free will nonsense by Jay Michelson at Zeek. As he puts it, causality is our best friend, "enlightenment itself." Understanding and accepting cause and effect shows our connection to the world, inspires compassion, teaches humility, and gives us more control over our circumstances so that we can bring out the best in each other. It's possible to be moral, responsible agents without setting ourselves above or apart from nature as science reveals it. Indeed, understanding our causal connections to the world gives us the best shot at developing our natural moral endowment in service to human flourishing.

Yesterday was a gorgeous day! We took full advantage and spent the day doing our outdoor holiday decorating. I was excited to decorate and pretty up the front porch for Christmas.
I took Bo for a walk and decided to let him spend the day out on the lawn with us.
It was windy, but he was enjoying being outside with us. The strap around him helps us get him up.
Today I'll be finishing the porch up and sharing with you tomorrow.
Here's a sneak peak....
Have you had nice weather to work on your outdoor decorations?

Since the economic crisis broke out, entrepreneurship has attracted increased attention as a key path to economic recovery. I was happy to see that entrepreneurs have been set apart from some of the negative perceptions of big business and the blame being placed on large financial institutions for the economic meltdown. The question is whether such recognition of entrepreneurs as an engine for growth and innovation translated into concrete pro-entrepreneurship policies.
Given the momentum gained in 2010 to get policymakers thinking about entrepreneurship, it is reasonable to expect that America's commitment to entrepreneurship will grow, especially once we see that commitment translated into concrete policy action. Of course, the hope is that those policy actions will be the right ones—inspiring confidence, building up decision-making around risk-taking and investing, spurring new enterprises built on innovative products and services, and along with it, job creation. With that sense of optimism, comes the vision of a global economy finally starting to shake free from a global crisis.
In 2009, the Irish economy underwent one of the deepest recessions in the EU, with its economy shrinking by as much as 10%. Late in 2010, Ireland received an €85bn financial rescue package. Clearly, the winner of Ireland´s general elections held on Sunday (according to polls so far Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny) will have a lot on his shoulders. However, if the past is any indication, Ireland has the potential to resurge economically.
Israel is one of the most innovative nations on earth. Israelis (approximately 7.6 million in number) are well-educated, have a global outlook, ties around the world, and most importantly, a positive view of entrepreneurship. Most Israeli entrepreneurs understand ways of moving innovations into the marketplace and how to establish themselves as global companies from the get go. It is only natural that there is so much interest around the world in Israel's entrepreneurship path.
I hope that like me, you have had the chance to witness the burgeoning phenomenon of entrepreneurship curriculum in American higher education. More and more, students have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship on campus. In the process of creating entrepreneurship programs, universities have become more entrepreneurial themselves. This is great news. Colleges and universities are natural incubators of creativity and new ways of looking at things. And this new reality might mean that colleges and universities are better preparing students for success in the American economy where more professionals need to make their own jobs.
One hundred years of banked future hydrocarbon revenues, massive investments in higher education and a common legal framework based on western law all offer this small nation—the size of Connecticut—tremendous potential to be a hub for startups in the GCC. I find it curious therefore that at Qatar's famous "Doha Forum" I participated in today, entrepreneurship and startups were not on the agenda.
According to The Times CEO Summit here in London, Britain is mid-table in the world growth league, but committed to a new rigorous economic agenda. Now that the painful job of drastic budget cuts is underway and an often angry public has aired its grievances, Prime Minister David Cameron appears to be intently focused on new firm formation, the know-how economy, the next digital revolution and private input into "innovating down" health costs. He is determined to protect his AAA Standard & Poors evaluation and keep his economy from heading in the direction of others like Greece.
With more women than men in the U.S. earning PhDs in the biological sciences and estimates that around 15 percent of the U.S. GNP over the next two decades will be comprised of life science activities, it is no surprise that women's entrepreneurship has attracted so much attention recently in both the developed and developing countries. And in many other countries, women's entrepreneurship is even more important as a separate track for cultural reasons.
Last week, a patent reform bill, the America Invents Act (H.R. 1249), passed the House of Representatives. On March 8, the Senate passed a similar patent bill (S. 23) by a broad margin. There is no doubt our patent system is broken with backlogs and litigation, but the bill's net effect on innovative entrepreneurship is still unclear.

Must Try Eats for Teens According to government recommendations, kids ages 9 to 18 need 1,300 mg of calcium a day. Unfortunately, nearly 9 out of 10 teenage girls and 7 out of 10 teenage boys fail to get enough calcium in their diets. Here are some tips to help make sure that teens get the calcium they need for strong bones and healthy bodies. The skimmed shake – make an "old fashioned" milk shake with skim milk and your favorite flavor of lowfat ice cream. Fondue, friends & fun – have friends over for a cheese fondue party – dip and dunk favorite veggies, mini-pita bread, cooked and cubed chicken breast and fruit into the cheesy fondue. Chocolate craze – have a glass of ice cold, lowfat chocolate milk to cool you down, satisfy your chocolate craving and get you on your way to meeting your daily calcium needs. Tropical temptation – make a smoothie with lowfat milk and frozen pineapple chunks (use ice cubes if needed) and blenderize. Yogurt, fruit and whole grain to go – mix your fruit of choice, whole grain cereal and lowfat yogurt in a plastic cup and eat on the go! Groovy smoothie – blenderize lowfat milk, frozen fruit and a little yogurt for breakfast to fit any busy schedule! String cheese please – string cheese is a fun, portable, quick and nutritious "out-the-door" snack. Combine with fresh or dried fruit or wrap in a tortilla. Kickin' kabobs – kick it up a notch with fruit kabobs. Dip in lowfat yogurt! Pizza pick me up – for a quick nutrient boost have a slice of veggie pizza. Or make a pizza on pita or English muffin with pizza sauce, lowfat cheese and favorite toppings. Munch for lunch – put together mini-snacks for fast fuel. Try baby carrots, whole grain crackers, string cheese, fruit and lowfat milk in a plastic "to go" container.

Landlord's letter
Re: Chris McGarry's April 1 letter, "Post office":
McGarry's letter was refreshing news.The fact that the Postal Service never entered into negotiations absolutely blew me away.
In these difficult times, the prevailing reason a legitimate business closes is rent. Typically, landlords have an artificial sense of retail rent value and nearly alway raise rents at renewal time.
The Postal Service's assumption that the landlord was unwilling to keep them in that location is exactly what residents need and all the commotion could have been avoided had Postal Service been sensible.

If you're stoked about Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, chances are there is an adult reading this article to you right now. However, morbid curiosity might compel non-children to wonder why Joel McHale is taking such a detour from a promising career path to act in the fourth installment of a kid's movie franchise. While McHale is the most surprising participant, the film also boasts a few more actors that might leave their fans scratching their heads.
We get Jeremy Piven as the bad guy here, though I don't think nearly as many will be surprised to find him slumming it in this type of film. We've also got Ricky Gervais and Robert Rodriguez fixtures Danny Trejo and Antonio Banderas in the mix. Granted, this is the first Spy Kids film in eight years, so there might be some killer script that has A-listers clamoring to get involved, but, based on the trailer, that's not the case. The most likely explanation is a Bowfinger-type scenario where Rodriguez got all the stars to act unwittingly, then tossed them in front of a green screen. The technology's there, people.

Study Abroad
The Social Work Department at Elizabethtown College highly encourages its majors to study abroad, either in a traditional long-term study abroad program or through one of the many short-term opportunities offered by the College.
Semester study abroad
Social Work students traditionally study abroad either in the spring semester of their sophomore year or fall semester of their senior year. In an effort to promote study abroad in the fall of the senior year, the department has worked with Brethren Colleges Abroad (BCA) to establish internships abroad in English-speaking countries, such as India, and Spanish-speaking countries, such as Ecuador.
In Chennai, India at Madras Christian College, a range of internship possibilities are available including children's organizations, women's rights groups and organizations working with those who have been victims of sex trafficking. Students will also take courses at the school including Social Problems in India. More information is available at the BCA website.
Elizabethtown has also developed a partnership in The Gambia in western Africa with St. Mary's College of Maryland. Students are able to intern with the Department of Social Services or a non-governmental agency.
Short-term study abroad
The Social Work department sponsors different short term trips. In recent years, we have traveled to Vietnam and Honduras. Each trip encompasses service learning with members of the culture together with cultural excursions. These are often done over winter or summer break.
May-Term Service Learning Trip to Vietnam
Dr. Peggy McFarland from the Social Work Department and Dr. Jodi Yorty from the Biology Department lead a service learning trip every other year to Vietnam during May Term. This trip is open to all majors from Elizabethtown College and will next be offered in 2015. In May 2013, they traveled on a 17-day adventure and journey of meaningful service learning through Vietnam. They teamed up with Brittany's Hope Foundation to travel to this exotic land of ancient beauty and deep history. They visited Ho Chi Minh City, Nha Trang, Da Nang, and Hoi An and visited the Vietnam War museum and the Cu Chi Tunnels. All this while they hosted parties and field trips for the children, build cribs and provided care to the children in orphanages. If you are coming to Elizabethtown College, plan to come along on our next Vietnam trip and make a difference to an abandoned child.
Trip costs include round-trip air travel, visa, double/triple hotel rooms with air conditioning, sightseeing tours, transportation including in-country flights and meals. Involvement in fundraising for the supplies and resources for the children is part of this trip requirement.
Enrollment in the following two courses is also required for the May-term trip:
SW 346 Exploring the Culture and Social Services of Vietnam
2 credits. This course serves as an introduction to the history and culture of Vietnam as it relates to the social problems and social services in modern-day Vietnam. Lectures will provide background on social services and non-profit organizations, specifically Brittany's Hope Foundation. Class periods will focus on the Vietnam War and development of basic language and communication skills. Later class periods will focus on the development of appropriate age and ability level activities for the children. Finally, there will be a focus on successful fundraising strategies. The course is a prerequisite for students participating in the May-term service learning trip to Vietnam.
SW 347 May Term in Vietnam
2 credits. This course is comprised of a seventeen-day international trip to Vietnam. Students will have the opportunity to examine issues of culture, poverty, social development, and the needs of orphaned children in Vietnam through direct service learning, lectures, and reflective sessions.
Contact Dr. McFarland at firstname.lastname@example.com or Dr. Yorty at email@example.com if you are interested in adding your name to the list of potentially interested students.

Below is the poem entitled Words Escape which was written by poet
Allen. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
John Allen
sometimes poetry is the thing that escapes us when our minds are flourished
with colorful images and fantastical dramas meant to entertain and to enthrall.
Poetry is sometimes what escapes us when our pens run full and our papers lay
bare; poetry the thing that escapes us like animals fleeing from a fire. But
between brief glimpses of persuaded illusion and fanciful musing, there comes
enlightenment--and it comes like fire.

Willamette Women's Team Moves Up to #1 in West Region Index
SALEM, ORE. -- The Willamette University women's track and field team, which won its ninth consecutive Northwest Conference championship this past weekend, moved up two spots to take the #1 position in the West Region Team Index for NCAA Division III as released by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association on Wednesday, April 28. The Bearcat men's track and field team remained #3 in the West Region.
The regional index measures each team's all-around strength in relation to other track and field teams in the same region.
Willamette has 409.15 points as the new leader in the women's West Region index. California Lutheran University, which led the regional index a week ago, fell to #2 with 380.02 points. George Fox University, which took second place behind the Bearcats at the NWC Championships, moved up three spots from #6 to #3 in the rankings. The Bruins have 359.05 points.
Claremont-Mudd Scripps (Calif.), ranked #2 last week, fell to #4 with 352.356 points. The University of Redlands (Calif.), fell one spot and is now #5 in the regional index with 302.93 points.
Willamette and GFU are two of the five NWC teams on the West Region Top 10 list this week. Other ranked NWC teams are Linfield College at #8, Whitworth University at #9, and Lewis & Clark College at #10.
The top four positions in the men's West Region index remain the same as last week. Whitworth, the NWC men's champion, is #1 with 573.90 points. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps is #2 with 492.63 points. Willamette, which took second at the NWC Championships, is #3 with 460.92 points. Redlands is #4 in the region with 318.25 points. Linfield moved up three positions to #5 with 254.25 points after taking third place in the NWC.
Other NWC teams in the Top 10 are George Fox at #9 and Pacific Lutheran University at #10. The Bruins and the Lutes were not in the Top 10 last week.
Willamette is scheduled to compete at the Oregon Relays on April 30 and May 1 in Eugene, Ore. The Bearcats' next home competition will be the WU Multi-Event Meet, set for May 2-3 at the Charles Bowles Track in Bush's Pasture Park.

InDesign FX is a collection of self-contained effects projects designed to be completed in ten minutes or less. Taught by expert Mike Rankin, the series explores every aspect of InDesign's graphic effects capabilities through real-world examples, all without relying on Photoshop or Illustrator. The intent is to reveal the quick, practical, and sometimes surprising application of InDesign effects to creative projects.
The Outer Glow effect allows you to apply a color that spreads outward from the edges of an object, similar to a Drop Shadow. You can control the size, color, and opacity, and blending mode. You can also choose between a soft glow that emanates only from the sides of an object or precise glow that follows the exact outline of an object, including the corners. Let's see how it works. So here I have a placed photo of some flowers and a little bit of text and I'd like to apply an Outer Glow to them. First, I am going to open a second window, so I can see the Outer Glow effect without my frame outlines getting in the way.
So I will choose Window > Arrange > New Window and I'll drag the divider over. So I have one large window and one small one. I will select the picture of the flowers and open the Effects dialog box to apply an Outer Glow. So for starters, choose a blending mode. Right now I am choosing Screen with Paper and 100% Opacity. If I want a more subtle Outer Glow, I can take the Opacity down or bring it back up for a more intense Outer Glow.
I can choose between a Softer diffused glow or Precise glow where the glow is the same width all the way around the objects including the corners. Usually, I like to stick with a Softer glow. It just looks more natural. I can change the size of the glow, making it really big or smaller. I will stick with 40 pixels here. I can add some noise, a little or a lot. I'll take that down. And I can change the Spread value.
Spread is the amount of the Outer Glow that's set at the full color and opacity up here in the blending area. So right now 10% of this glow is 100% white. If I increase the Spread, I'll increase the opacity of the glow. I can take it all the way to 100%, so 100% of the glow is 100% opaque, but that's never going to look good. So I am going to take that back down, maybe 25%. That's pretty good. I'll click OK. Now let's apply an Outer Glow to the text. I'll select the text, bring it up in the Effects dialog box, and click on Outer Glow.
I have the same settings. The one thing to be aware of when you're applying an Outer Glow to text is Softer is almost always the right technique to use. If I use Precise it looks more like a beveled effect, because again it's following all the exact shapes of the type, and it just doesn't look really natural like a glow. So if you're applying an Outer Glow to text, stick with the Softer technique. I'll click OK. Now let's see some of the other things you can do with Outer Glow. Here I have an alien from AREA 51 and he has an eerie greenish glow coming from his head and from the type.
And if you look it's actually two colors blended in the glow. There's a small white glow next to the alien head in the type and a larger green glow further out. Let's see how that's done. I'll move him over just so I can see him and the dialog box at the same time and I'll select his head in the other window. In the Effects panel I can see I have two effects icons, indicating that I have two Outer Glows applied. I'll start by looking at the one at the object level. So the Object level I have a green Outer Glow set to 100% Opacity, and this is the big one, this is 30 pixels.
I used the technique of Softer, but I could have used a technique of Precise and made it even larger. That's an interesting glow too, but it's just not what I wanted here. So I went with a smaller softer glow. I added some noise to give me this nice hazy effect going on, adds to the eeriness of the effect. Then if I switched from the object to the text level I can see the white glow. Here I am screening with Paper at 100% Opacity. I used the Precise technique here to make the glow bigger. Again, if I chose a softer glow, it would be a little bit smaller.
I chose a smaller size. This one is 10 pixels because I wanted it smaller and right next to the alien's head, and I still use 5% Noise. And for the white glow I added a Spread amount. I wanted it to glow more solid right next to the alien's head. If I increase this amount I'll increase the amount of the glow that's this white color. If I take it all the way up to 100%, it's almost like I had a white stroke around the alien's head. But I will take that back down to 10%. I'll cancel out and we'll look at the AREA 51 type. I will select that text frame and double -click to open up the Effects settings.
For the AREA 51 type I made some changes in the settings to accommodate the smaller size and more complex shape of the text. I changed the technique from Precise to Softer and I decreased the Size from 30 pixels down to 17 pixels. If I look at the settings at the text level, I used a Softer technique and an even smaller size, 10 pixels. But I kept that 10% Spread to make sure that the glow was white right next to the edge of the type. It really makes the glow stand out from the black text. I will click OK.
Let's see something else we can do with Outer Glow. Another use for Outer Glow is to colorize an Outer Bevel effect. By itself an Outer Bevel has no overall color. It's just made up of a shadow and a highlight, but we can apply a uniform color to the Bevel if we combine that effect with an Outer Glow. Let me show you what I mean. Here I have this text Spring in Bloom and I've set a Bevel on it and an Outer Glow and you can see what that does if I zoom in. I have this nice shiny highlight courtesy of the Bevel effect and I have this color that comes from the Outer Glow.
If I bring up the Effects dialog box and double-click to see the settings. If I turn off the Outer Glow and see just the Bevel, you can see that all it is, is a highlight. The Bevel itself is transparent, but I wanted a color there. So I chose Outer Glow and I made sure that the size was the same size as my Bevel, 5 pixels. I chose a Precise technique so it exactly fits the letter shapes and I picked a color that I wanted. I like this magenta color.
I could increase or decrease the Spread amount to increase or decrease the opacity of this color. So I could take it down for a very subtle hint of magenta or I could take it up to make a solid color. That's just too much. I am going to take it back down to 40% and click OK. I'll zoom back out and there I have a nice combined effect of Outer Glow and Outer Bevel. With Outer Glow you can make an object stand out against a dark background. You can also blend the colors of multiple glows by applying them at different levels to the same object.
It's also fun to combine an Outer Glow with an Outer Bevel and that way you can colorize the Bevel.

The federal government pays sheriffs $90 a day to hold immigrants awaiting deportation. Some sheriffs are aggressively lobbying to have immigrants put in their jails. Local jailers receive $1.7 billion a year from taxpayers to keep people charged with overstaying their visas instead of releasing them pending trials.
From the Boston Globe:
In the newest wing of Bristol County jail, exclusively for immigrants facing deportation, inmates in sunshine-yellow uniforms pass the time in a stuffy dormitory playing cards, flipping through magazines, and chatting in Spanish, Portuguese, and Hebrew.
Anxiety and boredom fill the room. "It's been 10 months," one desperate-looking man told Sheriff Thomas Hodgson in Spanish during a recent tour of the only freestanding immigrant detention center in Massachusetts. "How long do I have to wait?"
The answer isn't clear. But Hodgson, and other sheriffs across the state, are glad to have them: For each immigrant, they receive an average of $90 a day.
Bristol and other cash-strapped county jails are increasingly embracing the immigration business, capitalizing on the soaring number of foreign-born detainees and the millions of federal dollars a year paid to incarcerate them. Bristol County alone has raked in $33 million since 2001, and has used the money to transform itself into a sprawling campus with a commissary, an ambulance communications center, and a "management accountability building" for regular meetings on jail operations.
"That money is a tremendous boost for us," said Plymouth County Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald Jr., whose jail houses 324 immigrants, up from 44 a decade ago, bringing in $15.6 million last year. "We aggressively try to market ourselves to get as many of those inmates into our doors as we can."
But advocates for immigrants say the government should dramatically reduce the number of detainees, by releasing them pending deportation. They complain about the burden on taxpayers – this year, the federal government budgeted $1.7 billion nationwide and $42.8 million in New England for detainees – and the risks to immigrants.

The cast got down to the nitty gritty in part two of the Love and Hip Hop Atlanta reunion. Stevie J finally answered whether or not he was in a relationship with Joseline. Joseline basically admitted she was only here for Stevie's beef cake and money. Shay and Erica bumped heads over Scrappy. The proposal! And Momma Dee's is always entertaining with her over the top antics. As the popular question goes: Are you not entertained? Yes! We certainly were. Here are the thirteen most outrageous moments from part two of the reunion.
[Photo: Rowena Husbands]
1. Big Pimpin'
Stevie J bobbed and weaved the question on whether he and Joseline were together like he was smack dab in the middle of a game of dodge ball. Joseline took things in her own hands once he finally answered the question. "No we not together. I actually use him for his sex and his money," she said.
2. Leader of This Bus
In therapy Stevie talked about being the driver of this proverbial bus that Mimi and Joseline are supposedly merely passengers on with no control over its direction. And what does Stevie have to say about this bus? "Well, you know, I've been in this game for a lot of years. Got a lot of miles on my shoes, on my Italian loafers. At the end of the day they wouldn't f— with me if I was Joe Shmo the plumber," Stevie said. Of course big pimp Joseline agreed. "I sure wouldn't."
3. What Have You Done For Me Lately?
Joseline is an international superstar as far as she's concerned. Ms. Joseline lets Mimi know that she should be more grateful for all Stevie has done for her. Mimi isn't having the idea that Stevie takes care of her, or that she's only with him for his money. "What the f— did he do for me, Joseline? He ain't do s— for me. He made you a superstar. What did he do for me?" Their exchange got pretty heated, but as you saw on the live chat after part one of the reunion, the ladies were all smiles with each other. Maybe Mimi has decided to cop a ride on the back of that bus after all.
4. "Check This B—h"
For the first time both Shay and Erica sat down face-to-face with Scrappy. Although Scrappy said he loved Shay as a friend but ultimately wanted to be with Erica, an argument between Shay and Erica ensued when Shay made a backhanded comment. Erica snapped. "Do she not know her place?" Erica asked.
"This yo' b—h. Check this b—h."
5. Prince of the South with a Burger King Crown
Lawd. Momma Dee loves her baby. And she will do anything to show it to the world. Including coming on TV with an actual crown to honor her son as the prince of the south. Rightfully so, Scrappy was embarrassed; but it was a much needed laugh to lighten up the mood on the stage. "As sure as the sun rises in the morning, I am proud to be the Queen of our family's castle, and you will always be the prince of the south." Scrappy handled it well. "I feel like a little boy in school and my mama just came [to] bring me my lunch." And a Burger King crown.
6. Lovers And Friends
Shay is tired of the friend word being tossed around. She is annoyed that Erica even mocked her after Scrappy called her his friend for the 1,987 time. "Friend? I don't have sex with just my friends, boo" she retorted. Scrappy says he'll take all the blame as the man who lied because he doesn't want the ladies to argue. Shay is having a hard time accepting the truth and yells, "Then go ahead and give her a chance, the things that's in my name need to be in her name."
Shay eventually walks off the stage screaming, "You told me you wasn't gon' do me like that!" You win some, you lose some.
7. Make Him Wanna Marry Me
"I want to be a man. I want to have my family back. You feel what I'm saying?" asked Scrappy. "If it don't work it's cool, but is you gon' marry a n—-?" Probably one of the most unconventional proposals of all time. But it worked! Erica and Scrappy are on their way to jumping the broom. Shay looked on from backstage in disgust.
Well, at least Erica got Momma Dee's blessing.
8. Butt Naked Chick
On the season finale Benzino pulled out the engagement ring he was going to propose to Karlie with only to breakup with her. What we didn't know was the night of their breakup Karlie went to Benzino's house and was in for a big surprise. Karlie found Benzino with a butt naked woman in his house that claimed she'd been living with him. So much for reconciliation. "It was a chick butt naked in the house, and she was like, 'I live with him.' Looks like all that monogamy advice he doled out to Stevie didn't apply to himself. Karlie still has feelings for Benzino. His response to the allegations, "You wasn't supposed to be in my house." Benzino on the status of their relationship? "Finito."
9. Keep It On The Low
Before the show Kirk and Rasheeda's 12 year marriage was a secret. At all costs she had to protect her rap career. "When you're dealing with a female rapper, it's best to be single." We saw the couple struggle with finding the balance between their work and personal relationship. In the end Rasheeda chose to continue to ride out with her husband as her manager, choosing love. Awww.
10. Rat Face
Stevie's "rat face" has become just as popular as he has. In case you missed the montage of all his greatest expressions, we've got it for you so you can watch it over and over. (It doesn't get cuter with time.)
11. Granny On the Pole
Momma Dee has never claimed to be one of those grandmas sitting at home knitting sweaters. When a fan asked what kind of grandmother Momma Dee was if she's dancing on a pole on the Internet, her witty comeback was nothing short of amazing.
"But check game. For me to be almost 50 years old and can swing on the pole and make money without taking off my clothes, boo, ya heard me, it seems like the pole does a body good. And in that order."
12. Show Me the Receipts
How many receipts does someone need for K.Michelle to believe them? "Just more than Karlie had to be talking to me," K.Michelle said. "You need to at least have a Wikipedia page. That's one big receipt." Karlie's face during all this:
13. A Bus Driver With No Car
The fans of Love And Hip Hop Atlanta ask what they want to know with no qualms. If you noticed Stevie was never driving a car this season. He may be the driver of the bus, but he admittedly had no ride of his own. "I didn't have a car, but now I got a car. I'm not afraid to say I didn't have a car." To which Mona Scott Young replies, "Now you got a check so you got a car."

Training through an injury
How do you decide whether to train through an injury, to take it easy during training, or to not train at all? Ideally one would like to see a physio every time, but what if that's not practical since little injuries and aches and pains pop up all the time?

Realistically, nobody can tell you how bad it should hurt before you need to quit training and get help. (I'm talking borderline here, not obvious fractures, tears etc.) It would be nice if it was possible to know ahead of time. What you need is experience. You can only get the experience by training too hard, making an injury worse and learning from your mistake. Admit it... until you get one of *those* injuries, you're not going to listen to anyone.Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices.

RunningDog, you had to take two years off from all contact sports? Damn. I guess I lucked out with only one year off. I gave it 6 months of rest and PT, and eased back into training (Kung Fu at the time) gradually for another 6 months. After one year, it felt like it was pretty much back to normal. It still gives me a little trouble every now and again (mostly just soreness). The surgery was about 6 yeras ago. However, today while sparring I came down on it funny (it kinda buckled to the inside). Initially I felt a sharp pain which lessened over a few minutes, and for an hour or so my knee joint just felt "loose". Don't know any other way to describe it. There was no swelling that I could tell, so I think it's just a bruise. I've been icing it, taking ibuprofen, and I'll be wearing a knee brace for a couple weeks while training just to be safe.
Don't mess around with your knees if you think you might have a torn ligament. I agree with you, The Question, see another doctor if you can manage it. Also, go easy on the training until you find out definitively what the problem is.
Good luck.

A plea agreement will be presented Monday morning at former sheriff Ronald Hewett's arraignment in federal court.
According to court documents, a plea agreement will be presented regarding Hewett's felony obstruction of justice charge.
Hewett was charged with one count of felony obstruction of justice May 8, when criminal information was filed in U.S. District Court.
The charge is directly related to the federal investigation into Hewett.
It looks like any other badge.
But the badge former sheriff John Carr Davis passed down to Sheriff John Ingram on Friday represents an island of integrity amid a sea of scandal that has plagued the office of sheriff for the past 25 years.
"I wore this badge for 11 and a half years," Davis said. "It is untainted."
After passing the badge to Ingram, Davis said, "You, John, be the best sheriff we've ever had."
A new but familiar face was among the crowd of sheriff's deputies sworn in by District Judge Marion Warren on Friday morning.
After taking the oath of office, Brunswick County Sheriff John Ingram had a brief meeting with his staff where he announced the sheriff's office new chief deputy, Charlie Miller.
Miller, 42, who has been serving on the Brunswick County Board of Education since being elected in 2006, previously worked for the sheriff's office before owning and operating his own business.
It took several hours Saturday for the Brunswick County Democratic Party Executive Committee to select its nominee for sheriff. After former sheriff Ronald Hewett resigned from the post following local grand jury indictments on four charges, the Party had 30 days to name a successor.
The field of candidates was diverse. While some had much experience and others less, all candidates vowed they wanted the same thing—to serve and protect the people of Brunswick County.
The fourth time was the charm Saturday for John Ingram.
The 100 or so members of the Brunswick County Democratic Party Executive Committee cast their votes in four ballots before Ingram secured the necessary 89 votes to be named the party's nominee for sheriff.
Before voting, Phil Perry, a retired captain with the sheriff's office, told voting committee members Ingram was the most qualified of all the candidates to take the reins of the sheriff's office.
The other shoe has dropped. Eleven months, almost to the day, after the first surge of subpoenas swept through the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, former sheriff Ronald Hewett has been charged in federal court.
Hewett's charge was filed in U.S. District Court on May 8. The first subpoenas served on the sheriff's office were on June 7, 2007.
Hewett has been charged with one felony count of obstruction of justice and will be arraigned before U.S. District Judge W. Earl Britt at 9 a.m. June 2 at the Federal Courthouse in Raleigh.

Former Brunswick County Sheriff Ronald Hewett is scheduled for arraignment in federal court June 2. Hewett is set to appear before Judge W. Earl Britt in Raleigh.
Eleven months, almost to the day, after federal agents first subpoenaed the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office, Hewett is facing a criminal charge in federal court. Hewett has been charged with one felony count of obstruction of justice, according to court records.
Hewett's criminal information was filed in U.S. District Court on May 8.
BOLIVIA—Acting Sheriff Greg White has been busy since being named acting sheriff two weeks ago.
White, the county coroner, assumed all duties of sheriff when Ronald Hewett was suspended March 27 following district attorney Rex Gore's petition to remove Hewett from office.
A May 5 hearing is slated to determine whether Hewett will be permanently removed.
Ronald Hewett's suspension as Brunswick County Sheriff is not a first for Brunswick County.
More than 20 years ago, former Brunswick County Sheriff Herman Strong was ousted, opening the door for an eager young law enforcement officer named Ronald Hewett.
In July 1983, the walls surrounding a drug-smuggling operation in Brunswick County came crumbling down as more than a dozen people were convicted or pleaded guilty for their roles in the smuggling operation.

Bike Lock
Used License Plate
A while back I found a license plate in the middle of the road. It was pretty beat up, yet still perfectly flat. Good find. After hanging onto it for a while now, I've decided to put it to use. Usually, I just stick my bike lock in the back of my pants for a quick ride somewhere when I don't want my backpack, but that is a little awkward, so I designed an easy-to-make holster out of the license plate.

Hopefully, you learn a lesson from the reaction you're getting from your immature post. Remember, word of mouth is everything to a business.

Junior Spencer Liechty has piled up the academic accolades in his Xavier career and added his first All-Conference award when he was named to the A-10 Academic All-Conference Team Tuesday.
March 6, 2013
CINCINNATI- Two members of the Xavier track and field team have been named to the 2013 Atlantic 10 Conference Indoor Track and Field Academic All-Conference Team, which was announced Tuesday by the conference office. Pole vaulter Craig Krcal and long distance runner Spencer Liechty both earned their first career academic all-conference awards.
Krcal, a junior out Cleveland, Ohio, was the lone athlete specializing in the pole vault on the list, consisting of nine other names including Liechty. The highlight of Krcal's season came three weeks ago when he placed first overall in the 2013 Atlantic 10 Indoor Championships in Kingston, Rhode Island, clearing a height of 4.80-meters (15'9"). Along with setting the new school record by almost a foot and a taking home a first place medal, Krcal became the first athlete in Xavier track and field history to medal in a field event at the conference championship meet. The St. Ignatius product was held to a limited number of appearances early in the season due to an off-season foot injury.
Liechty, out of Zionsville, Indiana, has been nothing short of consistent for the Musketeers this season, competing in most 3000-meter and 5000-meter events thus far. For the season, he has a top time of 8:56.79 in the 3000-meter at the Hoosier Hills Invite and 15:45.56 in the 5000-meter at the A-10 Championships, both career-best times. Other finishes for the junior include 8:59.74 at the Indiana Relays and 9:07.08 at A-10's in the 300-meter and 15:45.61 at the Gladstein Invite in the 5000-meter, placing a season-best 12th out of 27 runners. The Zionsville High School alum holds the second and third fastest times of the season for the Musketeers in the 3000-meter and 5000-meter, respectively.
Krcal, a biology major, and Liechty, a political science major, have both performed in the classroom as well, both boasting high GPA's and earning several academic accomplishments while at Xavier. Krcal is a member of Honors Bachelor of Arts program and Liechty has received the Dean's Award and the Academic Excellence Award and earned places on the A-10 Commissioner's Honor Roll multiple times.
Xavier would also like to recognize an omission from the official Atlantic 10 Indoor Championship results. Senior David Gibson finished eighth out of 19 other athletes with a distance of 6.84-meters (22-05.25) in the long jump, tying a career-best he set at the 2012 A-10 Championships. The distance of 6.84-meters is the longest distance for any Musketeer in the long jump this season and Gibson also holds the team's top time of 7.13 in the 60-meter dash, which is a career-best as well.

NEW YORK (AP) - Apple is the world's most valuable company, ever.
On Monday, its surging stock propelled the company's value to $621 billion, beating the record for market capitalization set by Microsoft Corp. in the heady days of the Internet boom.
Apple's stock has hit new highs recently because of optimism around what is believed to be the impending launch of the iPhone 5, and possibly a smaller, cheaper iPad.
Apple Inc. has been the world's most valuable company since the end of last year. It's now worth 53 percent more than No. 2 Exxon Mobil Corp.
The comparison to Microsoft does not take inflation into account. In inflation-adjusted dollars, the software giant was worth about $850 billion on Dec. 30, 1999. Microsoft is now worth $257 billion.
