Jigsaw Desk
When you work as a seasonal park ranger – you move twice a year. I designed and built this desk to be easily and quickly (dis)assembled and packed into a flat stack. Its main surface lays flat or hinges for a sloped service. Cut from one sheet of 4×8 marine grade 1/2″ plywood.

The post-convention bounce that President Barack Obama enjoyed in the polls appears to be played out, but now the question is, can the incumbent expect another one, given recent gaffes by Republican challenger Mitt Romney?
The 7-point lead that Obama had in Gallup's rolling, week-long average just after the Democratic convention has dissipated. Gallup says that as of Wednesday, Obama's lead was down to one point, which is where it was before the Democrats gathered in Charlotte, N.C. In between, Obama built a 50% to 43% lead in the Gallup survey in the days after the Democratic Convention.
Gallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport also says in his blog that interviews included one night of polling after the release of a videotape capturing Romney saying that 47% of Americans were "dependent on government" and thought of themselves as "victims."
"The impact of those comments, if any, will be seen in interviewing in the days to come," Newport says.
Gallup also is finding that Obama's approval rating inched down by a point to 48% while his disapproval rating ticked up by the same amount to 46%. But Wednesday's surveys also show that 7.8% of the population is unemployed — down 0.3% from the 8.1% reported for August — and that the number of those with confidence in the economy is growing.
In another poll conducted by Associated Press, GfK and Roper Communications, Obama holds the same 1-point lead he held the last time the same survey was conducted in mid-August, just before both the Republican and Democratic conventions were held. Obama's edge in the latest survey was 47% to 46% for Romney, just as it was in the last survey.
There is one key difference, however. The latest AP/GfK/Roper poll, conducted Sept. 13-17, is a survey of likely voters, while the August poll is of registered voters. A check of registered voters in the September poll gives Obama a much wider, 10-point lead over Romney, 50% to 40%. And of all adults, Obama is favored by a 52% to 37% margin.
Finally, in another poll taken by the Pew Research Center, Obama has opened up an eight-point lead. Pew says that Obama has a bigger lead than any candidate had in the last three presidential elections at this stage, and he tops Romney in a number of areas, including more positive backing from supporters and favorability issues.

I had to give a shout-out to my alma mater, the Florida Gator football team, for making it to the national championship game this January 8th in Glendale, Arizona!!! Say what you will about the imperfect BCS system, but it is all we have right now to determine a champion. I am a proponent of a playoff. Why is it that every other sport has a playoff except college football? Even high school tennis has some sort of playoff/tournament system to determine a champion. In defense of the Gators, we won the SEC – the toughest conference in the country. Also, Auburn got robbed out of the championship game in 2004, so the BCS had to give the SEC a chance at the championship this year. Anyway, I know this has nothing to do with finance, but I just wanted to say, GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!
The Florida Gators Are Going to the National Championship!

Using a pencil feels so simple, doesn't it? I mean, it's the
first thing we learn to write with when we are kids, so what could be more
familiar and comforting than that? But I've found again and again that using a
pencil or graphite for certain types of shading can get pretty complicated. For
example, with cross-hatching you don't need to be as particular about pressure
and gesture, but it can be a real challenge when you go beyond that to subtler shading
effects. I needed some help when it came to shading techniques that didn't
appear heavy-handed or inconsistent, and that's where Shading Techniques Beyond Cross-Hatching: Artist Daily Pencil Shading
Tutorial on Modeling Gradations comes in.
I had been missing a part of the
puzzle until reading this eBook because I didn't realize that the best way to
conquer gradation was to practice shading shapes like cylinders. Artist and
instructor Jon deMartin points out that drawing convincing forms and figures
means becoming a master of gradation. And you do that first by starting with a
form that curves in one direction, like a cylinder. From there, you can go onto
more complicated forms and the figure.
There is also discussion on how to make smooth gradations, how
surfaces relate to a light source, and how to breakdown an object or figure's
planes in order to identify how to model it. What I found most interesting was
learning that to really make a cylinder look round, I don't just smooth away
edges, but instead truly gradate the values appearing on the form.
All that and more is in Shading
Techniques Beyond Cross-Hatching: Artist Daily Pencil Shading Tutorial on
Modeling Gradations. It is a crucial chapter in the book of drawing
fundamentals, and it is one I know I'm going to revisit again and again. The
information is too valuable not to. Download your copy of Shading Techniques Beyond Cross-Hatching: Artist Daily Pencil Shading
Tutorial on Modeling Gradations now and rediscover the methods that
separate good artwork from great. Enjoy!
And if you have anyone who might be interested in the
drawing methods in Shading Techniques
Beyond Cross-Hatching, feel free to send this link to them so they can
learn pencil-shading tips, too. They are sure to thank you!
Great e book, Courtney. I am Maria and I want to take a view among the Drawing Magazibe paper`s issues beacuse I want to be able to choice two or three issues in paper and buy them,. How can I see the paper issues to the date ?

A string or two of solar powered LED "christmas lights" (for lack of a better term) hung between the reed mat layer and the fabric shade might make for some interesting nighttime ambiance.
I have one length of 70 lights that I've strung down the stairs to the back yard, ...so more for practical purposes in my case, but it works quite well.
Just a random idea I thought I'd share.

US Airways could opt to deploy the Sensis Aerobahn airport surface management system after testing it at its Charlotte and Philadelphia hubs.
Speaking to ATI the carrier's annual media day on 6 April, SVP flight operations and in-flight Ed Bular said US Airways was pleased with the testing, which began in late 2010.
Aerobahn combines airside operational information, including flight schedules, with the exact location of aircraft and ground vehicles in a real-time view.
Bular says Aerobahn has been particularly useful in managing a tarmac delay regulation that took affect in April 2010 prohibiting US carriers from operating domestic flights from allowing an aircraft to remain on the tarmac for more than 3h without deplaning passengers.
Sensis in September 2010 introduced dynamic rules alerting for Aerobahn allowing customers to create customised complex event alerts to manage airport operations, including compliance with the tarmac rule. Aerobahn also allows airlines to customise other scenarios, including when outbound aircraft have exceeded deicing hold times.
Bular also says Aerobahn has also allowed US Airways to cut down on aircraft taxi times, and says "the end game" is tying surface management tools into management of the inbound airborne traffic.

I have been suffering from this issue for awhile now and can't figure out why this is happening.
I had a LinkSys wireless router and I had trouble connecting to the admin page. It was really slow to load or only loads part of the page. So I thought my router was going bad so I went out to buy a new router. Same thing happens. The internet works just fine though.
My main computer is connected via ethernet cable. If I use another computer to connect to the router admin page, it works just fine.
I am currently using Windows 8 x64. I have Agnitum Outpost Pro 8 and Kasparsky AV 13 installed. I suspect its one or combination of those security programs that is causing the problem but I don't know what to look for.
Please advise.

Hayden's opinion of Snowden becoming harsher
Former NSA Director Michael Hayden said on Sunday that his opinion of Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who provided details of the agency's surveillance programs to journalists, is worsening.
"I used to say he was a defector," Hayden said on CBS's "Face the Nation," referring to Snowden's current residence in Russia under temporary asylum. "I'm now kind of drifting in the direction of perhaps more harsh language —"
"Such as?" asked host Major Garrett.
"Such as 'traitor,'" Hayden said.
In separate panels, NSA whistleblower Thomas Drake, Snowden legal adviser Jesselyn Radack and journalist Barton Gellman defended Snowden against that characterization.
"I don't consider him a traitor at all," Drake said. "I consider him a whistleblower."
Radack, representing the Government Accountability Project, said she believes Snowden would like to return to the United States but has concerns about getting a fair trial based on comments from current and former public officials such as Hayden.
"He has stated that his intention is to allow his country to make decisions for itself," said Gellman, who recently interviewed Snowden in Moscow for The Washington Post. "There's simply no evidence on the public record or even in private intelligence, according to the officials I talk to, that he has transferred his loyalty or tried to assist a hostile power."

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Various artists, Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska (Sub Pop). It's a rare tribute album that can both beautify the original recordings, which were always pretty stark, and increase the listener's understanding, which used to wander out of focus. You can admire Nebraska by Springsteen, or you can love this.
Various artists, Better Than Fruitcake (Sound System). Nineteen St. Louis artists turn in their takes on Christmas, mostly on extremely short notice. Individually, most of these are better than could be expected (with maybe three outright losers); put them all together, you get a genuinely new look at the holiday, one filled with laughter, terror, awe, joy and beauty.
Terry Perkins
Brian Blade Fellowship, Perceptual (Blue Note). On his second recording as a leader, drummer Blade blurs the boundaries between jazz, rock and other genres without falling into the "something for everyone" trap. Mesmerizing music from a true "band."
Cubanismo! Mardi Gras Mambo (Hannibal). This great Cuban band headed to New Orleans, teamed up with fine musicians such as John Boutte and Donald Harrison, and the result is a great record that exposes the Latin roots behind the Big Easy mix of jazz, R&B and blues.
Georgie Fame, Poet in New York (Go Jazz). Yes, he's the same guy who recorded "Yeh, Yeh" during the '60s British Invasion -- and worked with Van Morrison for many years. Fame also makes great jazz vocal recordings like this one. If you're a Mose Allison fan, pick up on this or any of Fame's other recent stuff. It's all excellent.
Charles Lloyd, The Water Is Wide (ECM). This Memphis-born sax player first hit his stride in the late '60s with his great quartet. He's still around and still creating a wonderful mix of lyrical, complex, impassioned music.
Joe Lovano, 52nd Street Themes (Blue Note). One of the finest sax players on the planet pays tribute to the great New York jazz scene of the 1950s -- and composer Tadd Dameron. Lovano takes plenty of chances in a variety of settings and makes every one pay off.
Danilo Perez, Motherland (Verve). This talented Panamanian-born pianist continues to explore the common ground between jazz, Latin rhythms and the folk songs of his native land. And he continues to produce startling, mesmerizing music.
Paul Simon, You're the One (Warner Bros.). Simon continues to fold an array of Third World rhythms into his music, and he's become so successful at it that the sound seems totally natural. Add a large helping of his finely crafted, intelligent and heartfelt lyrics, and you've got another classic.
Steely Dan, Two Against Nature (Warner Bros.). Speaking of classics, Becker and Fagen have given us one as well. Their latest inspired exploration of the dark side of humanity hits home with a mix of mordant wit, hip arrangements and slick, slinky grooves.
Irma Thomas, My Heart's in Memphis: The Songs of Dan Penn (Rounder). Get the "soul queen of New Orleans" together with one of the finest writers of soul songs ever, and you've got a combination that's a natural winner. Just get out of the way, roll the tape and enjoy the results.
Robert Ward, New Role Soul (Delmark). Ward, who started his musical career back in the late 1950s working with the likes of Wilson Pickett, may be the most underrated guitarist in blues and R&B. This is his first recording of new material in five years, and it's a barn-burner.
Matt Harnish
Built to Spill, Live (Warner Bros). Doug Martsch can write songs just as catchy as Bob Pollard's; he just takes six minutes to get them done instead of 45 seconds. On this double live LP, the songs stretch and breathe even more, making it heaven for fans of indie guitar rock.
Beachwood Sparks, Beachwood Sparks (Sub Pop). Creating harmony-drenched AM-radio pop with a strong but not overpowering country tinge and enough vaguely psychedelic bits to keep things interesting, Beachwood Sparks come off like an Elephant Six band gone Byrds instead of Beatles.
Go-Betweens, Friends of Rachel Worth (Jet Set). Picking up right where they left off a decade ago, the Go-Betweens are reunited, and the melancholy feels so good. The smartest songwriters of the '80s, Grant McLennan and Robert Forster are still crafting brilliant jangling odes to the tragic and glorious unfairness of love.
Elastica, The Menace (Atlantic). Picking up only vaguely near where they left off half-a-decade ago, Elastica have augmented their punkish pop with bloopy new-wave keyboards, ending up sounding a bit like the Fall, circa 1985. The Fall's Mark E. Smith even guest-rants on a couple of tracks.
Sleater-Kinney, All Hands on the Bad One (Kill Rock Stars). Toning down doesn't mean turning down. It also doesn't mean selling out. Sleater-Kinney transcend hyphen rock (punk-rock, girl-rock, Olympia-rock) and now just straight-up rock.
Olivia Tremor Control, Singles and Beyond (Kindercore). Although technically a reissue, the ridiculous obscurity of most these singles and compilations tracks makes this a new release to all but the most dedicated eBay bidder. The shorter time frame imposed by the 7-inch single format forced the band to play up their pop hooks somewhat, but some of this stuff would be just plain weird at any length.

Event offers screenings and information for those 50 and older
BARBOURSVILLE -- There was more than shopping on the minds of seniors at the Huntington Mall on Friday. Visitors to the Senior Lifestyle and Health Event learned about preventive measures designed to improve their long-term health and wellness.
The event, for those age 50 and older, included free screenings for diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis, arthritis, bone fracture risk, lung disease, balance and nerve compression, offered by health professionals from Cabell Huntington Hospital, the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Information also was presented on health and nutrition, wound healing, advance directive planning, lung and colorectal cancer, cardiac and vascular screenings, and hospital volunteer opportunities.
Dr. Frank Shuler, medical director of Cabell Huntington Hospital's Senior Fracture Program, said he saw the health fair as an opportunity to reach out to an at-risk population.
"We are the second oldest state, with a large number of our population age 65 and older. The No. 1 predictor of a break in a bone is age, so we have a population with significant risk factors," Shuler said. "So, this program, this outreach allows us to identify those at risk before it happens."
Shuler used the FRAX tool, developed by the World Health Organization, to assess the fracture risk of visitors to Friday's event. Early in the day, Shuler had already identified one individual with a 45 percent risk of a spine, shoulder or forearm fracture and a 25 percent risk of hip fracture in the next 10 years. Individuals with high FRAX scores were presented a letter to give to their physician.
"Very simply, with this tool we can identify a problem before it becomes an emergency," Shuler said. "Who is above the threshold? Let's identify those and maybe something as simple as Vitamin D or calcium can make an improvement.
"We can also talk to them about chair rails, bed rails, vision assessment, non-slip rugs," he continued. "Doing the right thing for your patients is also helping them do things to prevent the risk of fractures by falling."
Registered nurse Mitzi Beckett, stroke program coordinator at Cabell Huntington Hospital, was also on-hand to offer blood pressure screenings and to talk to visitors about the risk factors for stroke, such as diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol.
"Simple modifications, the little things like increasing your activity with 21/2 hours of moderate exercise a week and getting enough sleep, can make a big difference," Beckett said. "Know when to go to your doctor, make healthier choices in your diet such as substituting grilled chicken for fried. Those little changes can have positive effects long-term."

Important safety instructions. Read and follow all safety instructions. Danger: Special care should be taken to avoid possible electric shock, since water is employed in the use of aquarium equipment. Do not attempt any repairs by yourself; return the appliance to an authorized service facility for service or discard the appliance.WARNING: To guard against injury, observe basic safety precautions, including the following: 1. If the appliance shows any sign of abnormal water leakage, immediately unplug it from the power source. 2. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. Unplug the appliance if there is water on parts not intended to get wet. 3. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, or if it is malfunctioning, or if it has been dropped or damaged in any manner. 4. To avoid getting the appliance plug or receptacle wet, position the aquarium to the side of a wall-mounted outlet in order to prevent water from dripping onto the plug or outlet. Arrange a "drip loop" for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to an outlet. (See Illustration A.) The "drip loop" is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet (or if using an extension cord, below the level of the connector) that prevents water from traveling along the cord and coming in contact with outlet. 5. If the plug or outlet should get wet, don't unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to the appliance. Once the power has been disconnected, unplug the cord and examine it for the presence of water in the outlet. 6. Always unplug the appliance from an outlet when it is not in use. Also unplug it before cleaning, and prior to disconnecting or attaching parts. Never yank the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull to disconnect. 7. Do not use an appliance for anything other than its intended use. Do not use attachments that are not recommended or sold by the manufacturer; they may cause an unsafe condition. 8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. 9. Make sure the appliance is securely installed before operating it. 10. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a rating that matches or exceeds the rating of the appliance. A cord rated for fewer amperes or watts than the appliance rating may overheat. Arrange the cord so that it will not trip anybody, and that it will not be pulled in any way. 11. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, the plug will fit in polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug, If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature. 12. Avoid injury, do not touch moving parts. 13. Supervise children closely when they are near or using the appliance.Set-up and Installation of your new ReptoFilter. 1. Insert suction cups as shown. When pressed firmly and twisted, the suction cups will fit snugly into the holes in the back of the ReptoFilter. If they don't go in easily, a small screwdriver can be used to gently guide the suction cups into the holes. 2. Insert the filter cartridge and foam grid as shown. (Note: The front of the foam grid is marked "front" and should face the front of the filter.) 3. Insert ReptoFilter inside the aquarium and press the suction cups against the aquarium glass. Drape wire over the aquarium wall. 4. The lip of the ReptoFilter should be above the water level, and the bottom of the filter should be submerged in at least two inches of water. When positioning plants and other items, take care to leave a 1/2" clearance around the filter's intake area. 5. Attach ReptoFilter lid.Helpful Hints.When cleaning the ReptoFilter, unplug the unit. Do not use detergents or soap, as residue may be harmful to fish.It is recommended to put sand in the aquarium when using the ReptoFilter.If the Foam Grid becomes clogged, remove and wash with water until debris is removed.The filter cartridge should be replaced every four weeks. To change the cartridge, unplug the ReptoFilter, remove and replace the cartridge, then re-plug the ReptoFilter.When medicating fish, remove the Filter Cartridge, as it absorbs most medication.If the motor is noisy, unplug the ReptoFilter and remove it from the aquarium. Remove the motor, open the cover, and flush gravel, leaves, or other debris, with cool water. Replace the motor into the ReptoFilter, mount the ReptoFilter in the aquarium, and re-plug the unit.When adding tap water to the aquarium, use AquaSafe water conditioner to neutralize harmful chlorine and chloramines.

Money can buy nearly anything in Sin City. Looking to indulge? Drink liquid gold, eat a burger worth more than a mortgage payment; there are few requests Las Vegas hotels haven't heard before.
This is Las Vegas, and if you don't feel the pull of a grand gesture here, you likely won't feel it anywhere. This is where you throw caution to the wind and order a $10,000 cocktail to drink in the suit you just had made by Gucci's former tailor or rent out an entire manmade beach for a private party.
VIDEO: Virtually experience Las Vegas luxury
There are few requests Las Vegas hotels haven't heard before, so if you'd like something, just ask. In fact, there are services available you might not even know you needed, such as a revolving bed, a full-sized, in-room basketball court with scoreboard, and your own personal sushi chef. Read on to explore what money can buy in this town.
Bespoke Suits
Master Tailor Milton Chavez, who has more than 20 years of experience tailoring for Louis Vuitton and Gucci, has recently arrived at the irreverent menswear boutique in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, Stitched. Make an appointment for a full styling session and made-to-measure suite of suits in the clubby back room.
Rare Vintages
Until recently, Ghost Horse Wine was only available straight from its California vineyard, and by the barrel only. Tom Colicchio's Craftsteak, inside MGM Grand, is the single place on Vegas' Strip to savor these rare, specially crafted wines. Ghost Horse is served in all its 2008 vintages – Cabernet, Fantome, Apparition and Spectre – for between $1,050 and $4,990 per bottle.
Rarer Vintages
The Maccioni family's Le Cirque, in Bellagio, is as well-known in Las Vegas for its expensive wines and liquors as it is in New York. Find Burgundies and Bordeaux priced all the way up to $25,000 per bottle, or end the night with a single shot of Hardy Perfection cognac, aged more than 140 years and $975 per shot. Also find Perfection by Hardy in restaurant Guy Savoy's new Cognac Lounge. If cognac isn't your thing, but opulence is, you can literally drink gold at Tryst Nightclub. The $3,000 Ménage à Trois cocktail is a threesome of Cristal Rose champagne, Hennessey Ellipse and 150-year-old Grand Marnier, served with 23-karat gold flakes and liquid gold syrup.
When Bottle Service Isn't Enough….
At Hyde Bellagio, $250,000 buys a table front and center over the Fountains of Bellagio, a 30-liter bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne, a swag bag filled with goodies, and the control button to the fountains at show time. If you're not prepared to spend a quarter million dollars, but are still willing to lay out some major cash on bottle service, there are additional packages. You can have your alcohol delivered by fantasy characters such as Superman – who soars across the club to your table – The Pink Panther, and the Super Mario Brothers, among others. You might also pay a sexy server to ride your bottle over on a motorcycle. For even more drama, the delivery arrives with customized audiovisual effects, and a spotlight on the one with the wallet.
BEHIND THE SCENES: A VIP bottle server tells all
The Mortgage Burger
The $5,000 FleurBurger at Fleur by Hubert Keller makes the $425, 16-course Degustation Menu at Joël Robuchon sound like an absolute steal. But there's a reason Keller's burger is so pricey. The Kobe patty is topped with foie gras and black truffles, and served with a bottle of Chateau Petrus 1995 poured in Ichendorf Brunello stemware. Bonus: Keller's staff will ship the glass to your house after dinner.
Nobu In-Room Dining
In-room dining at Nobu Hotel in Caesars Palace is not, in fact, priced that high compared with many other dining options on the Strip. Nobu's room service doesn't even compare in price with the $688 per person, seven-course Japanese A5 Wagyu Beef Omakase downstairs in Nobu Restaurant (including Wagyu and foie gras, Gyoza A5 Miyazaki Ribeye, and truffle teriyaki-Wagyu fried rice). Perhaps it is just the idea that you can eat Nobu cuisine 24/7 from your bed that is so luxurious. This is not to say you can't get spendy. The High Roller bento box on the in-room menu costs $288 and comes with lobster wasabi, Wagyu steak and sushi. Order breakfast at least once, and do not miss the "bagel and lox," a crispy rice cake topped with salmon "pastrami." To dine in-room most extravagantly, book one of the Nobu suites with their own sushi counters for a visit from a Nobu sushi chef.

Your Own Private Beach
Las Vegas has a number of manmade beaches, but Mandalay Bay Beach is arguably the most extravagant, sitting on 11 acres, with 2,700 tons of real sand, a 1.6 million gallon wave pool and a pavilion on which the summer beach concert series plays. For $15,000, you can rent the entire beach, and the experience comes with a full barbecue dinner, open bar, a massage corner with chair masseurs, a Davidoff cigar hostess, and your choice of a "Dive In Movie" or steel drum band, plus use of the beach's putting green and beach volleyball. Add another $100K - $250K and the powers that be at Mandalay Bay can book nearly any musical artist you want for your private beach party.
Luxury Theme Villas
The Palms Casino Resort is known for its fantasy suites. The Hardwood Suite, $25,000 per night, is perfect for those with an NBA fixation: The 10,000 square foot, two floor suite has its own indoor basketball court, professional locker room, and scoreboard. Its contemporary design also includes other sports fan must haves, like a pool table, living room, fully equipped wet bar, and a dance floor. This is the perfect play to invite 350 friends over for pre-mid-and post-game parties. Rena
If it's just regular old excess you're after, the two-story Sky Villa, from $20,000 per night, fits the bill. Once named the Hugh Hefner suite, all vestiges of Hefner and Playboy are now gone. The 9,000- square-foot playground, a sleek symphony of marble, leather, granite and steel, has three bedrooms, a fitness center, sauna, outdoor terrace, 12-person glass-enclosed Jacuzzi pool and the pièce de résistance, a media room with a revolving bed. The space fits up to 250 party guests. Both suites include 24-hour butler service and VIP club access.

The United States winger helped set up Michael Kightly's opener and then scored the second inside the first 20 minutes before his night ended with a first-half challenge from Matt Kassel.
Shea, who had only just joined up with his teammates after a successful Gold cup campaign with the USA, limped off the field and used crutches while speaking to reporters.
He said: "Obviously I'm pretty upset right now. I was excited to get back to Stoke and get ready for the season. Hopefully it's not as bad as it feels."
Manager Mark Hughes was fuming about the incident and reckons Shea, who will undergo an MRI scan on Wednesday to assess the damage, will be out for a "number of weeks at least".
Hughes said: "It was a nasty injury. It looks like some damage to the ligaments in his knee. He's going to be scanned. I thought it was a very, very poor challenge by the boy. What the hell was he was thinking of, I have no idea.
"It's a friendly game. You need to protect your fellow professional. And I don't think the guy did that. I don't know who he was. Maybe he was trying to make a name for himself, I don't know. He went the wrong way about it."
Challenge defended
However, Shea defended the challenge made by Kassel, who was booed by some of his own supporters during the game.
He said: "He was going for the ball. I tried to put my body in front of his and it's soccer. Tackles happen - good and bad. I've done worse to other people. I'm not mad at all.
"When I was walking off, he apologized."
Right-back Kassel, who has only played 33 minutes for the Union this season and was part of a starting line-up made up entirely of reserve players, insisted he did not mean to harm the 23-year-old winger.
"Obviously I didn't mean to do that," Kassel said. "I'm friends with the kid. It was completely just going for the ball. Unfortunately things happen and tonight he unfortunately got hurt.
"There was no intent at all. I wish him all the best and I apologize for the tackle."
Stoke kick off their Premier League campaign at Liverpool on August 17.

How do chefs peel garlic?
Wow! Thank you! That video was great!
Wow! Thank you! That video was great!
I use a lot of garlic and spend a lot of time peeling each little clove. Sometimes I use a garlic press because the peel just stays there. There's got to be a better way of managing garlic!

Nina Caprez climbs Helix, 8c+, at Pic St-Loupby Björn Pohl - UKC Jun/2014
This news story has been read 3,623 times
Nina Caprez has made the first female ascent of Helix, 8c+, at Pic St-Loup in southern France.
After falling around 20 times at the crux, she managed to refine her method and make the ascent.
This is probably her hardest ascent to date. Other routes on her ticklist include Mind control, Fish eye and Gu�re d'usure.
Now she's looking forward to her summer project, the multi-pitch Orbayu on the West face of Naranjo de Bulnes, Asturia, Spain.
This Pou-brothers' route has only seen one repeat, by Putelnik/Favresse, and has a famous 5th pitch which weighs in anywhere between 8b+ and 8c+/9a depending on who you ask.

text: Deion and Jamie were having a debate about a potential 3 strike rule in the NFL, due to all the recent delinquency among NFL players. So Deion goes on and asks Dukes, and I'll paraphrase, "Well what dictates a strike, because I've been arrested a couple times?" Deion continues that he was arrested for "parking tickets and such." So to grasp Deion's point, getting arrested is sometimes okay? I mean seriously, who gets arrested for parking tickets? You made/make millions a year, you can't pay traffic fines? You can't obey the law? You can't not break the law? And it just reminded me of Chris Rocks' brilliant rant, and the point: "You're not SUPPOSED to get arrested!" You don't get rewarded for not going to jail...and going to jail a little bit, for little things is not okay...what kind of mentality is this? So anyway, this annoyed me and speaks volumes coming from a future hall of famer about the mentality of many players in this league. Don't break the law, its not THAT hard. And if you do it three times, for any reason, you probably should not be in the league any longer.:fire:

About the Program
Rapid and recent research gains in developmental neurobiology have made it clear that infants, even prenates, and young children are predisposed by evolution to remember their experiences, adapt to them, and learn from them. Some of these "adaptations" to early separation, loss and trauma—such as rejecting affection, or the fidgetiness that accompanies hypervigilance—do not seem adaptive at all. These behaviors can be difficult for all parents, i.e., foster, adoptive and biological, as well as teachers and clinicians to understand, much less respond to in empathic and effective ways.
Through this day-long workshop, the instructor will help strengthen participants skills in identifying the links between a child's current affect and behavior and the earlier experiences that begat them. Such clarity and understanding will alter the goals for managing behavior at home and in pre-school and serve as an overall guide for a shift in the therapeutic work.
In addition, the instructor will discuss the therapeutic challenges to helping a child heal when a child has a garbled life narrative. He will present an extremely promising intervention approach for addressing this problem known as Narrative Family Attachment Therapy.
Throughout the day the instructor will enliven the material through the use of a combination of lecture, group discussion, and illustrative case studies on video.
About the Instructor
Michael Trout has been in the mental health field since 1968, and completed his specialized training in infant psychiatry at the Child Development Project, University of Michigan School of Medicine, under Professor Selma Fraiberg. He directs an institute engaged in research, clinical practice and clinical training related to problems of attachment. Mr. Trout was the founding president of the International Association for Infant Mental Health, was on the charter Editorial Board of the Infant Mental Health Journal, served as Vice-President for the United States for the World Association for Infant Mental Health, and on the Board of Directors for APPPAH–the international society for prenatal and perinatal psychology. In addition to publishing a number of book chapters and journal articles–Mr. Trout has produced 15 documentary films that are in use in universities and clinics around the world, including four films on the unique perspective of babies on divorce, adoption, loss and domestic violence. He developed a meditation CD for foster and adoptive parents entitled The Hope-Filled Parent. His newest book, co-authored with Mary Koloroutis and published in 2012, is on the nature of the therapeutic relationship, and is entitled See Me as a Person.

The Bachelor
Bachelor 2013 Promo Analysis: Tierra LiCausi Says She's "Being Tortured"
Watching the promo for next week's Bachelor Season 17 episode is the best part of our day. Like, we literally just flail around all over our Sean Lowe-shaped body pillow while huffing a bunch of roses. Next week's episode looks even more fantastic (read: deranged) than usual, mostly because Sean forces Selma to scale a cliff. And yes, he probably pushed her off said cliff.
We've analyzed each second of promo content and created a detailed analysis of what's to come!
0:25 — Sean's Car Makes Super Loud Noises
We appreciate your mastery of iMovie sound effects, ABC interns.
0:27 — Sean Snuggles With Selma
It's all so cute and innocent until his tongue comes out to mark its territory.
0:29 — Sean and Selma Laugh Gleefully on Plane
Hahahaha, planes are hilarious!
0:35 – Sean and Leslie Dance in a Clothing Store
Because that isn't weird.
0:37 — Sean Points at a Rock Formation
"I stood there shirtless once..."
0:38 — Sean and Selma Climb Up a Cliff
Dear god, Chris Harrison, does your cruelty know no bounds?
0:40 — Sean and Selma Look Into Sunset
But whatever, it's not as pretty as Sean's abs.
0:44 — Robyn Asks Sean to Taste Her Chocolate
Annnnd, everyone is super duper uncomfortable.
0:50-0:59 — Ladies Make Extremely Sad Attempt to Roller Derby
Literally, everyone falls over. Like, everyone.
1:00 — Tierra Starts Shrieking Hysterically
Probably hurled herself over a staircase again. Can't take this girl anywhere.
1:03 — Tierra Sits in Front of the Roaring Fires of Mordor
aka Bachelor Mansion's hearth.
1:09 — Tierra Asks Robyn If She's in High School
Pshhh, Sean wishes.
1:10 — Tierra Tells Us How Smart She Is
We don't want to bring up that whole staircase thing again, but...
1:17 — Tierra Storms Out, Wanders Into Some Creepy Back Alley
Probably where all the homeless ex-bachelors live.
1:22 — Tierra Has Complete Emotional Breakdown
Quick, Sean, take off your shirt!
1:27 — Tierra Says She's "Being Tortured"
Playing sports counts as torture as far as we're concerned, so yeah. Amen, sister.

I'm sorry but c'mon this is their idea of a solution?
It isn't. they need to enable categorization or folders still even if it's just a matter of maxing out with the same screen type 4x4 and having folders link to the other pages.
Won't encourage me to buy or try more apps than i have on my current 7 screens with all the swiping round i do... i've got them organized categorically but all that swiping i do already is enough.
iPhone 3.0 Beta 2: 11 Home Pages, 180 Apps
TheLoopBlog has posted, MacRumors confirmed, and we've been able to verify as well that as of yesterday's iPhone 3.0 Beta 2, Apple has enabled 11 Home Screen pages for app storage, up from the previous 9. This raises the total number of apps available on the iPhone at once to 180 (up from 148).
So, is this an improvement in that we get more overall pages of apps for storage, or is this just more wear and tear on our already exhausted swiping fingers? Is more better, thanks Apple very much! Will Spotlight be the new swipe anyway? Or do they have to start considering different ways of letting us organize our apps as well?

iPhone 3.0 Beta 2: 11 Home Pages, 180 Apps
I agree.
The current folder arrangement system was fine untill now - the nascent stages of the app store. But as the app store and the iPhone (32 Gigs ?) grow larger in space, we will be missing the grooves on our index fingers very soon.
A computer is as good as its file system ... and the iPhone is now in dire need of a new one.
I cant imagine, for eg, when i get push notifications in multiple screens !!! Do i have to reorg the apps on my iPhone to make it more convenient?
An advanced equipment like the iPhone is in danger of becoming as primitive as a 16th century scroll !!!
The iphone was made to be SIMPLE having to manage folders is not simple to the average ex razor owner. with spotlight you won't need to look for an app. And who really needs 11 pages of apps who uses 180 apps a days. I usually only have about 4 pages and the most used apps are on the first 2 pages.
Spotlight will help dial it in.
11pages? Really? How about a lockscreen notification feature. Why is it that some scrub in his basement (no offense to the makers if intelliscreen) can do it but apples high paid scrubs havn't? That's a palm pre like feature. 11 screens? Who cares?
The argument can't be "who uses that many apps" because some might. There were earlier blog posts wanting more pages. Don't complain because if your argument is "who uses that many apps" then how would this new feature affect you? If you have four pages of apps then what does it matter?
This obviously means there will be 32g of storage on the new iPhone.
Oh and to Jeffdc5. If the apps already come in categories in the app store, then when customers download them onto their iPhones, they would automatically fall under the same categories. That's the easiest work around instead of managing 180 apps yourself. So if I download a game, it goes into the game category and if I download an ebook, it goes into the book category... Each icon would be it's own category.
@Blake 2 your points are valid. But apple is not targettjng technically inclined users. Give the average person a nokia e71 they woldnt know what to do with all those folders. You can't ask apple to get rid of their business model for the minority of users.it would be great to have everything nice and organized but anything that make the iPhone harder to manage probably won't be added.
"Oh and to Jeffdc5. If the apps already come in categories in the app store, then when customers download them onto their iPhones, they would automatically fall under the same categories.

I think that's an excellent idea. And maybe somewhere in the settings have an option to put the apps into folders, or leave them all on the home screen.
I think it would be very easy for them to do something where you hold down your finger in a black spot on the home screen, or even on the bottom of the home screen and numbers pop up so you can get to a certain page faster. Kinds how the letters on the iPod app let's you scroll through music a lot faster then swiping. Glad there's more room now.
There are 20 categories in the app store. All of the original apps such as stocks, iTunes, and of course the app store will remain out of categories.
I don't see how this is technically challenging. This seems to be very simple especially the more and more apps that are going to be offered in the future. If you guys remember, the original app store didn't have categories and it took forever to scroll through apps. It was added as a necessity. By the way steve, I have 5 games. Haha
Well, I own all eight of the "good apps" on the App Store. ;)
I used to have a lot more web short cuts, but I got rid of them because all they did was make it more difficult to find the ones I used regularly. So, now I have three screens total (apps and web icons). I have many free apps saved on iTunes because I rarely use them but still want them... and those rarely-used web short cuts are now bookmarks in Safari — Neat & Clean!
All this "nine home screens filled up" reminds me of those messy people who have their entire desktops full of short cuts... they're no longer shortcuts if they have to sit there looking through them. Some people don't take that into consideration when organizing. They think they'll need all fifty games while their out grocery shopping. Oh well.
I also only have 3 pages. I've used a whole number of apps, but I've always tended to delete the ones I decided aren't really useful. Doing so made it easier to keep the number of home screens low.
Wow. Okay. Seems like there is defenitely doing to be new hardware. I only have 3 pages of third party apps and I don't even know what people are doing with 9 pages anyway.
A filing system will only complicate things. I had a blackjack II and I was sick of the Start menus and so on.
I rarely swipe through the four pages I have in total. I just use the short cut.
So any news about the amount of pages in safari ?
One thing I hope they change In safari is the whole loading thing. After exiting safari the page becomes blank if you don't go back in a short amount of time. It basically saves the link and loads it back up.
Yeah, the tabs (if that's what they are) should behave like tabs on the desktop Safari and not refresh automatically. Especially if people are soon going to be able to copy text from one page to another page's text fields without constantly losing what's already been entered.
I'm one of the one's with 8 pages of apps, and no I'm not unorganized nor does my desktop have any icons on it. The first page is for the most frequently used stuff, second and third are the stuff I'd like to get to quick if the need arises. Then 2 pages of games because I don't like to play the same one over and over before moving to the next one, when I, or the girlfriend, have down time, I have a bunch of good ones to choose from. Then it's the app store and I have 2 pages designated for the downloaded apps I haven't had a chance to try yet but read about and got cheap (or free) while I could and was thinking about it. I rarely use the second page there but it's nice to have. Then the last page is the stuff that apple won't let me delete and duplicate apps like other sports, movie, and weather apps because sometimes I'll be looking for a specific feature that my favorites don't offer. And hey, you never know when an update will make one of those my new favorite. I admit, some of my apps are unit converter/level/dictionary type apps that rarely get used. But if you have to redownload over edge or sync to get it back when you need it then it's lost its conveinence factor. But then again, I work and I'm in college with a girlfriend and 5 roommates so this stuff comes in handy quite a bit. "check the iPhone" has become a popular phrase around here to settle disputes and check facts :)
@OmariJames | @Steve
This is a pet peeve of mine as well -- I had not thought about how cut and paste will impact it, but it bites me often when using a site that depends on Ajax calls (e.g. Google Reader), where reloading the page effectively loses the information on that page. I would glady trade a reduction in the maximum number of tabs for tabs that behave more like desktop browser tabs.
Folders are just plain stupid I like the iPhone interface just the way it is. Simple and easy they do a good job in making prdocuts and putting smiles on our faces if u don't like the iPhone then go get a crackberry or a dumb cheAp nokia. Apple know what they're doing and if we had folders people would complain about not being able to get to their thing so that's why they have pages to oragnize things like one page could be games and the other could be utlities but anyways apple is the best that's why they sold 13.7 million iphones apperatly zomeones doing a good job.!
I organized my pages best I can and less than 20% of my apps are games... do I use all my apps? Some more often then others yes but if I truly find I won't use something... delete.
Folders aren't that hard and certainly not stupid. They could easily make it so people can choose to use them if they want or not. They could have it so you can organize very easily via iTunes or just continue with the sliding apps round into folders and in your settings you can turn on and off....
Nice and easy for those whom want that kinda thing and those who'd rather scoff and scorn people because they appear to be adverse to change.
Wow, just put your most used app's on the first couple of pages. theres no way anyone uses 180 apps a day.
Go into settings, tap "add folder", a pop up asks you for the name of the folder, drag some apps to the folder. Don't want the folder? Delete it the same as any other app and the apps that were in it show up on your desktop again. How hard is that? You don't have to have a folder if you don't want one.
I have 8 pages of apps.
Didn't realize all of you used so little.
I guess I should say, didn't realize that having 8 pages was a lot.
Now every page isn't full. There are generally 1-3 blank spots on each page.
I keep it very organized by what they do. All games on two pages. I have all my internet radio apps paired togther...amazon, ebay, craiglist together...etc.
But, I do not need 11 pages. But theres not reason to complain that they gave us this option. Some people have every page filled, and have to delete just to download a new app.
As for the person that said to hold your finger down on a black spot of the home screen. That wouldn't work at all. Thats too close to how you rearrange and delete apps. People would start to get frustrated when they tried to delete an app, or select a new page, and the opposite happens.
Spotlight well work perfect for my needs.
Figuring out a way to pick a certain screen page just doesn't seem worth it.
I mean, do you really remember what the page number of each app is on...? Unless you forget the name, spotlight is a GREAT addition. Can't wait to use it.
Some of you people are killing me! Do you hear yourselves? People are complalining about having to swipe and fingerprints coming off and the need for more pages etc etc. Do you remember when our phones didn't do anything but make a phone call? We've come a long way, granted with feedback given by the consumer, but most of the complaints on here are from a spoiled generation of "need to have it nowers" For crying out loud just plug your Iphone into your computer and organize it on a weekly basis. Is it really that hard? You're apparently saving all this time with your handy phone but you apparently don't have time to sync your phone according to your needs for the day/week? Come on, quit the whining. For the record I do have an Iphone with 4 pages of apps. 4th page I rarely use and I have never worked for Apple.
I agree with those that think iTunes should have an option to organize apps. A screen with 11 virtual pages to drag and drop apps and sync to your iPhone. That used to be a necessity. Alot of people are downing searchlight because it's not an answer to page organization. But real I think it makes page organization obselete!
With searchlight why would you have to use folders and categories? Why would u have to worry about swiping or what page which apps are on? Who cares if games or your most used apps are on page 3 or 7; or if there are 11 or 20 pages to swipe through?
With searchlight pages are now just storage. If u have a ton of apps just press the home button once to get back to ur home page if your not on it, and press again or swipe right to search. Type in the name of the app u want and launch it from searchlight!
That simple. Type, search, launch.
With that it doesn't matter what page it's on because it's all on searchlight.
If there was a 12 step group for excessive Iphone users, I'd probably never join it because the iPhone is more than just a phone, it's a mini desktop in my pocket. I have 148 apps(9 pages) plus apps I had to delete saved on my mac mini at home.
Page 1 & 2 Are mainly contact, business, and banking apps used together for global Trade.
Page 3 is all about gambling apps.
Page 4 & 5 are arcade. And 3D games.
Page 6 is all about photo, novels, fun tools mainly used, snappshoted, and sent to clients on the fly.
Page 7 is mainly automotive cause I'm basically a gear head(another 12 step opportunity)
Page 8 is all about health
Page 9 has sailing navigaton apps as well as safety apps for the open ocean(by the way Otterbox makes a great water resistant case)
So - yeah, I'm all for a folder idea but even better I like the category idea, because It just makes sense. I'm also all for a 32 gig(or more) so I can put more apps, more pictures, more movies etc...And if the phone gets trashed- so what! It's better to pay 300 for a new phone and backload it than fix an apple screen for $1300(that sucks Iv've done it twice)
I found this thread through google when I was searching to find a reason why my phone wouldn't make a 10th screen. After reading through all your posts I am most like Mike M.
I am an App whore but am extremely organized. I have my most used apps, social networking, tv and video apps, two pages of games, etc.
I have only had my 3g 16gig since February but i use it more and seem to know more about it then the 20-30 other local friends of mine that have it LOL
As far as space I have only used barely 2 gigs. Those of you maxing your memory try taking some crap off your ipod. I have some music there but mostly use pandora. I don't mind swiping to pages, i do know where everything is without the need for folders and can't wait for
11 pages. Those of you out there like me who max out 9 pages... U r not alone ;)
No follow up? (Sorry for the persistence. )

A comprehensive survey of natural beekeeping, its principles and practices, aimed at both hobby and small-scale commercial apiculturists.
"Ross Conrad . . . makes organic apiculture seem not only possible, but necessary."
—Gary Paul Nabhan, co-author, The Forgotten Pollinators
The various chemicals used in beekeeping have, for the past few decades, held parasitic mites and other major pests at bay. But today chemical resistance is building and evolution threatens to overtake the best that laboratory chemists have to offer. In fact, there is evidence that such allopathic treatments are only making the bees' problems worse.
In this filmed workshop, noted Vermont beekeeper Ross Conrad flips the script on traditional approaches by proposing a program of selective breeding and natural hive management. The video presents a comprehensive survey of natural beekeeping methods and challenges, including segments filmed in thefield. It offers practical information that every aspiring beekeeper needs to know—everything from basic hive equipment to working with your bees to harvesting and processing honey.
Ross Conrad is the author of Natural Beekeeping (Chelsea Green, 2007), a book that brings together the best organic and natural approaches to keeping honeybees healthy and productive. In the book, Conrad presents nontoxic methods of controlling mites, eliminating American foulbrood disease (without the use of antibiotics), breeding strategies, and many other tips and techniques for maintaining healthy hives, as well as detailed, holistic management techniques covered in a matter-of-fact way.
Ross Conrad learned his craft from the late Charles Mraz, world-renowned beekeeper and founder of Champlain Valley Apiaries in Vermont. Former president of the Vermont Beekeepers Association, Conrad is a regular contributor to Bee Culture - The Magazine of American Beekeeping. Ross has led bee related presentations and taught organic beekeeping workshops and classes throughout North America for many years. His small beekeeping business, Dancing Bee Gardens, supplies friends, neighbors, and local stores with honey and candles among other bee related products, and provides bees for Vermont apple pollination in spring.

Drug and Alcohol Policy
Problems with substance abuse are extremely complex. Substance abuse on campus can impact the safety and well being of faculty, staff, and students. Therefore, it is the policy of Durham Technical Community College that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of alcohol or a controlled substance is prohibited on college premises and is prohibited as part of college-sponsored activities. Any student violating this policy will be subject to disciplinary action. The specifics of this policy are outlined as follows:
Students employed under the College Work- Study Program are considered
to be employees of the college if the work is performed for the college
in which the student is enrolled. For work performed for a federal,
state, or local public agency; a private nonprofit; or a private for-profit
agency; students are considered to be employees of the college unless
the agreement between the college and the other organization specifies
that the organization is considered to be the employer.

Sexual Harassment Policy
Any individual who feels that he or she has been subjected
to acts of sexual harassment/assault should report the incident immediately.
The individual may choose to report the incident either during a private
and confidential discussion of the issue with a counselor or by initiating
a formal complaint to the affirmative action officer or another college
Tobacco-Free Campus Policy
Durham Technical Community College is committed to promoting and providing a safe and healthy environment for its faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors. As part of this commitment, the college is adopting a Tobacco-Free Campus Policy effective May 21, 2012. This policy also supports the NC Community College System's goal of all community colleges in the state having 100 percent tobacco-free campuses by April 2013.
For the purposes of this policy, "tobacco products" are defined as cigarettes, cigars, blunts, pipes, chewing tobacco, snuff, and any other items containing or reasonably resembling tobacco or tobacco products. "Tobacco use" includes smoking, chewing, dipping, or any other use of tobacco products. "Tobacco-free campus" refers to any building, facility, grounds, property, or vehicles owned or leased by Durham Technical Community College as well as any spaces where college-sponsored or college-related activities are held, whether on or off campus.
Employees, students, visitors, and contractors are prohibited from using tobacco products at any time on college property as well as on any spaces where college-sponsored or college-related activities are held, including during non-instructional and non-service hours.
Signs will be posted to provide notification to faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors of the college's 100 percent Tobacco-Free Campus Policy. The college will also communicate about implementation of the Tobacco-Free Campus Policy through printed information in employee and student handbooks and on the college's website and through announcements during college-related activities.
All members of the college community are asked to respectfully remind faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors who are using tobacco products while on college property about the college's Tobacco-Free Campus Policy. Information cards will be available for distribution to tobacco users by any member of the college community. The tobacco-free information cards will indicate that the college is a tobacco-free campus, provide notice of actions and penalties for use, and provide information about tobacco-use prevention and cessation resources.
Campus Police and Public Safety officers are responsible for reminding faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors about the college's Tobacco-Free Campus Policy and provide them with a copy of the tobacco-free information card. Officers may ask to see identification for faculty, staff, students, visitors, and contractors and complete an incident report for anyone violating the college's policy. Copies of incident reports for an employee will be sent to the employee's direct supervisor and division head for handling through the employee warning and disciplinary process. Copies of incident reports for students will be sent to the appropriate Student Learning, Development, and Support staff for handling through the student warning and disciplinary process.
Campus Police and Public Safety officers and employees will give a copy of the tobacco-free information card to visitors or contractors using tobacco products on college property and ask them to extinguish cigarettes, cigars, or pipes or to dispose of smokeless tobacco products. If a visitor or contractor refuses to comply with this request, officers and employees may ask the visitor or contractor to leave campus. Contractors will be asked to identify themselves and will be reported to the employee contracting for the outside services. The college employee will contact the company supervisor or manager and communicate in writing the college' s expectation that contractors adhere to the college's Tobacco-Free Campus Policy for continued work with the college.
Prevention and Cessation
The college will encourage employees and students to abstain from and/or cease smoking and using tobacco products. Information about tobacco-use prevention and cessation programs will be made available to faculty, staff, and students. Any fines collected as a result of employees and students cited for Tobacco-Free Campus offenses will be used to support wellness activities at the college.
You may also call the NC Tobacco-Use Quitline at 1-800-784-8669, or visit quitlinenc.com.
Student Code of Conduct
All Durham Tech students are expected to conduct themselves as responsible adults. Behavior that persistently or grossly disrupts the educational process or functioning of the college, whether it occurs on campus or at any college-sponsored activity, may result in disciplinary action. Specific violations of the Student Code of Conduct include the following:
Violations of this code of conduct may result in immediate sanctions,
including probation or suspension from the college by the president,
upon recommendation by the chief instructional officer, or expulsion
from the college by the president, upon recommendation by the chief
student services officer and the chief instructional officer. Additionally,
the college may defer imposition of sanctions pending the outcome of
an investigation. Students who wish to appeal any sanction should consult
the Student Grievance Procedure as outlined in this publication.

Sepultura have just released a new album A-Lex. I'm not here to promote it I just want to know does anyone know about this?
It seems to me that their new album releases go unnoticed by most metal fans.
I know theres alot of metal fans on this forum so I was wondering if you had seen anything apart from their own websites about the new album?
Re: Sepultura
Yeah, I heard about it. I think it's pretty good, though it's not Max & Igor.
heres one review :
Re: Sepultura
This months Terrorizer magazine has an interview with the band about the new album - it's a concept album based on 'A Clockwork Orange' (hence the title A-lex). Sounds interesting and if I remember correctly, got a fairly decent review.
Hopefully I'll have a copy of it this weekend.
