The unlocked Sony Ericsson txt pro was a very popular phone ever since it was first announced by Sony Ericsson. One of the reasons why it has become so popular so quick is because the company announced that they would be allowing certain users a chance to cut the phone on early, as long as they agree to write a review for the phone I would be posted to the Sony website. It was fairly easy to get involved in this competition. First of all, users had to just answer a very basic question which would allow them to answer in 50 words or less. This gave Sony Ericsson a good idea about the writing style, and would allow them to decide who would be getting the reviews. This is an interesting way for them to promote a new advice that has not been out on the market as of yet, and is raised a great deal of pride and attention surrounding the release of the Sony Ericsson text Pro.
The Sony Ericsson txt pro will probably be a device that is very popular among the unlocked community. There will be a number of benefits are provided to users when they decide to unlock the phone. Some of the biggest things that users unlock their phone for include the ability to use the phone with various different other carriers that have not been available for the phone previously. Users unlock their phones will also have the ability to put together a number of different house for their device that would not normally be available to them. This is another one of the big reasons why many people decide to unlock their phones. You can bet that the Sony Ericsson txt pro will appeal to the younger generation which is much you're on texting, and staying in communication through the social networks and the older generation. It will be interesting to see how popular the Sony Ericsson txt pro unlocked becomes among the unlock community. Certain phones seem to take off within that community, while others fall by the wayside after a short period of time.

POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam mens lacrosse team was the only team to compete this past week.
The mens lacrosse team hosted cross-town rival Clarkson University on Wednesday and then traveled to Oneonta, N.Y. to face Harwick College over the weekend. The Bears late rally fell short Wednesday afternoon as they dropped a tough 8-7 loss to the Golden Knights. Clarkson scored six first quarter goals in what seemed to be an easy victory. However, Potsdam stormed back in the fourth quarter and nearly completed the comeback.
Junior midfielder Robbie Ashlaw (North Syracuse, N.Y.) led the Bears with three goals and an assist. On Saturday, Potsdam had a strong offensive showing in a 14-5 decision over Hartwick College. Eight different Bears scored in the victory. The Hawks would connect on the first marker just 56 seconds into the game. The Potsdam offense answered and never looked back as they cruised to the win. Junior midfielder Derek Frost (Williamsville, N.Y. ) matched a career-best five points with three goals and two assists to lead the Bears, while Jeff Seager (Ballston Spa, N.Y.) added two goals and one assist. Senior goalie Stefan Sloma (Niskayuna, N.Y.) had a solid day, making 11 saves and allowing just four goals in the first 55:56 to earn the win.
The womens lacrosse teams game versus SUNY Canton was postponed due to weather conditions. The contest has been rescheduled for Sunday, April 7, at 1 p.m.
Junior Derek Frost earns his second performer of the week honor. Frost had six points in two games for the Bears this week. The junior recorded an assist against Clarkson on Wednesday. On Saturday, he broke out with three goals and two assists in Potsdams 14-5 win at Hartwick, to tie a career-high five points.
Senior Stefan Sloma is the Bears co-male performer of the week. Sloma made a career-high 19 saves on Wednesday against Clarkson. He then stopped another 11 shots against Hartwick to earn his third career victory. The week lowered his goals-against-average to 5.46 and raised his save percentage to .704.
The womens softball team is off until Spring Break when they travel to Titusville, Fla. for a tough nine game slate. The squad will face Ecclesia College on Friday at 9 a.m.
The mens lacrosse team returns to action next Saturday when they travel to Utica for a 1 p.m. showdown with the Pioneers.
The womens lacrosse team returns to action on Friday when they travel to St. Lawrence for a 4 p.m. matchup.

Why don't you accept new "1040" clients?
In the past, when a potential "1040" client called you and asked "what do you charge to prepare a tax return?", how did you answer him?

Robert, if you are interested in H&R Block's current price schedule, check out my recent blog post.
It is higher than last year for simple returns.

Thanks for the info.

(1) I do not have the time to properly prepare any more tax returns during the limited February-April tax filing season, and I hate GD extensions. I already have more 1040 clients than I can handle during the season. And I am only going to do this for 9 more tax seasons,
(2) I would say "Anywhere from $45 to $250 - it depends on the return". I would offer to provide a copy of my fee schedule.

I agree with TWTP that the CPA credential carries with it an often undeserved reputation of being the most qualified of tax preparers. I would make the point though, that even though EAs have the advantage of being strictly focused on tax, many CPAs also focus only on taxes and do not do audit/attestation work. It is simply too hard to be a generalist if you want to have an advanced level of professional knowledge and ability. Many CPAs specialize in such a fashion, though their credentials aren't going to show it.
Secondly, regarding the continuing education requirements for EAs, anyone who has been to such classes knows they CAN BE of little value. There are no tests required for credit, one simply has to attend and put in the hours, just like CPA professional ed.
As far as the exam requirement for EAs, I'm well acquainted with it, having just passed all three parts in the past two months. The exams were not easy, but they are designed to test a certain minimum level of competency, not a mastery. The level of knowledge necessary to pass can be obtained with an intensive period of study, but it doesn't take that long. Passing the exam and being admitted as an EA doesn't make one well qualified, rather it just indicates one should be AT LEAST minimally qualified, and one who should know how much they don't know.

Being tax preparer for the last 22 years I can say that I agree with (almost) every world you say!
And, regarding "when a potential "1040" client called you and asked "what do you charge to prepare a tax return?", how did you answer him?"- I usually don't take clients that start with this question,but if I'm in good mood and have some time to spare, I ask "and what is your budget?" or "like a visit to restaurant"- the people that start with such question NEVER coming even if they schedule appointment..

nvm. i fixed it by redoing the whole thing from scratch.
I have just set up my caching-nameserver/authoritative DNS on my RHEL5 machine. I am getting an error (DNS status: SERVFAIL) when I issue the command (dig ns1.google.com www.clownsandtangs.com). But it is fine (status: NOERROR) when i issue the command (dig www.clownsandtangs.com). I have just completed my nameserver (ns1.clownsandtangs.com) registration this morning (it's been around 15hours since) and I am suspecting that my nameserver hasn't completely populated itself around the internet. If so, how long does it take, and how long do I need to keep my server on? Are there any method to expediate the process? Could there be something else that's wrong with my nameserver?
Thanks in advance,
nvm. i fixed it by redoing the whole thing from scratch.

CUMBERLAND -- Cumberland needed to bring out its best football against a formidable opponent on Friday night if it wanted to repeat as Division II-B champions and earn the leagueŌĆÖs top seed in the upcoming playoffs.
But instead of bringing out their best, the Clippers did the complete opposite against West Warwick and paid the price.
Quarterback Kody Greenhalgh completed 12 of 20 passes for 206 yards, and West WarwickŌĆÖs defense forced a stunning seven turnovers to key a 14-0 win on the ClippersŌĆÖ ŌĆśSenior NightŌĆÖ (and the regular-season finale for both sides) at Tucker Field that gave the Wizards, not the Clippers, the top seed.
With North Kingstown, St. Raphael, and Rogers also capturing their division finales to create a five-way tie of 5-2 squads for first place in the standings, and two tiebreakers not settling anything, a third tiebreaker -- total defensive points allowed in the contests between the five schools ŌĆō was needed.
Since the Wizards allowed the fewest of the bunch (55), they automatically earned the top spot. The four other teams were then reseeded in their head-to-head duels, and the Clippers, thanks to their 2-1 mark over the other three teams and a win over Rogers (also 2-1), slipped into the second seed.
While the playoff picture was still in a cloud of uncertainty after the contest, Cumberland head coach Chris Skurka talked about his teamŌĆÖs inability to get on the board against the Wizards, who have now won six straight games, and he was not pleased with it.
ŌĆ£We had so many opportunities,ŌĆØ said Skurka. ŌĆ£We had a big fumble on the goal line with our quarterback going in, and I thought that was a crucial play. We had (West Warwick) backed up in the end zone on the next drive, and we let them out. And we missed some open balls in the end zone.
ŌĆ£We just didnŌĆÖt make plays. We had plenty of chances to be in this football game, but we never really executed.ŌĆØ
The seven turnovers, which included four interceptions and two fumbles by quarterback Tyler Calabro, certainly hurt the Clippers. Calabro, ironically, had a big night offensively, not only passing for over 100 yards (107) on 12-of-24 passing, but also rushing for over 100 (108) on 14 carries.
ŌĆ£You canŌĆÖt turn the ball over and win football games,ŌĆØ said Skurka. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs no chance of winning if you turn it over that many times. But credit to (West Warwick). Everybody had them picked to be division champs. They wanted it, and we definitely didnŌĆÖt get it done.ŌĆØ
The Wizards, who lost to the Clippers in last seasonŌĆÖs Division II semifinals, drew first blood with 2:01 to go in the first period on a 20-yard touchdown reception by Cody Barcomb, who reeled in a pass at the 5-yard line that was tipped by a Clipper defensive back and ducked inside the right pilon.
The hosts then took advantage of a terrible kickoff from the Wizards, getting the ball at the WizardsŌĆÖ 47. In 11 plays, the Clippers worked the ball to the 5-yard line, but on third-and-goal, and with 8:19 to go in the half, Calabro was picked off in the end zone by Trevor Lawton.
Unfortunately for Calabro, that wouldnŌĆÖt be his last mistake of the half. On a third-and-one from the ClippersŌĆÖ 25 and 1:07 on the clock, Calabro fumbled a handoff to one of his running backs. It was scooped up by Zach Auriemma, who rumbled the other way into the end zone for a touchdown.
Greenhalgh then ran into the two-point conversion, squeezing around the left pilon, and the Wizards went into the break with all the points they needed.
The hosts only managed to work the ball inside the 30 one other time against the WizardsŌĆÖ talented defense. That came midway through the third quarter on a quick six-play drive that saw Cumberland move the ball from its 42 to the West Warwick 13.
But Guerin, who tried to crash in on a keeper up the middle on the next play, fumbled the ball just short of the goal line, and speedy Austin Paygai, who caught five of GreenhalghŌĆÖs passes for 114 yards, grabbed the ball and broke off a highlight-reel, 100-yard fumble recovery.
Unfortunately for Paygai, the touchdown was called back on a penalty by the Wizards (one of 13 in the game by them). They ended up with the pigskin on their six, but more importantly, they kept the game a two-possession contest.

|Braves edge Crawdads, 6-5
|Written by Staff Reports
|Saturday, 21 May 2011 09:26
The Hickory Crawdads fell in a back-and-forth battle against the Rome Braves, 6-5, before 2,492 fans at State Mutual Stadium in Rome on Friday night.The Crawdads got off to a quick start striking for a run in the top of the first. Back-to-back doubles by Jurickson Profar and Odubel Herrera to start the game gave Hickory a 1-0 lead.
Crawdads right-hander Luke Jackson, who was making his professional debut, retired the first five men he faced before the Braves put together a two-out rally that tied the game in the second. Christian Bethancourt kept the inning alive with a two-out single, stole third base, and he scored Chris Garcia's RBI single, tying the game.
Hickory came right back scoring a run in the fourth and two more in the fifth, opening a 4-1 lead. Josh Richmond drove in Andrew Clark with a two-out RBI double in the fourth before a bases-loaded rally in the fifth. Jonathan Roof plated a run with a sacrifice fly, and Profar lined an run-scoring single to right during that outburst.
Rome, however, responded with a four-run rally of its own in the bottom of the fifth. That comeback also chased Jackson from the mound. David Rohm smacked a two-run homer, and Elmer Reyes produced a two-run single that gave the Braves a 5-4 lead, and their first lead of the game.
The Braves added an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth. Jake Dalfonso doubled and he scored one out later on Garcia RBI double making it 6-4.
The Crawdads rallied with a run in the top of the ninth. Profar knocked in his second run of the game with his fourth hit of the night, but Tyler Hess put out the fire and earned his third save of the year.
NOTES: The Crawdads continue the road series against the Rome Braves on Saturday night at 7 p.m. The 'Dads return to L.P. Frans to kick off a four-game home series against the Charleston River Dogs on Wed., May 25 at 7 p.m.! It will be Bald is Beautiful Night, with all bald fans getting a Half Off ticket!

Whoa! Miley Cyrus has definitely changed up her look.
Long gone is the country cowgirl who made it big on "Hannah Montana" -- instead hitting the stage in Los Angeles last night in a very revealing halter top and sporting even shorter hair.
The 20-year-old stepped out in the racy outfit -- which drew attention to her cleavage -- while performing on stage during Borgore's concert at the Fonda Theater. Miley is featured on one of the DJ's songs and appeared in the music video.
Cyrus finished off her look with knee-high snakeskin boots and black leather pants ... and was even seen dancing with a stripper!
What do you think of her outfit? And did you think she would go even shorter with that hair? See more shots of her look above!

National Geographic Live! In Search of the Ancient Maya
KCTS 9 is a proud media sponsor of 2013 National Geographic Live! Seattle Speaker Series, presented by Benaroya Hall and the Seattle Symphony.
Get ready for an evening illustrated with colorful imagery and irresistible tales of royal intrigue, backstabbing and war. In the mid-1840s, explorers Stephens and Catherwood first revealed to the outside world the wealth of Mayan ruins found in the Central American jungles. Since then, experts and amateurs have wrestled with the questions: Who built these cities? Who ruled over them? How did they fall into ruin? Recently, these questions have taken on added urgency with the public due to the "Maya prophecy" that the world will end in 2012. For more than a decade, William Saturno has searched for clues to the mysteries of the Classic Maya. Guided by luck and know-how, he and his team have carried out successful excavations in Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras. Saturno has made some of the world's most important Maya discoveries, including the spectacular murals of San Bartolo. Most recently, in the sprawling complex of Xultun, Saturno unearthed a house whose walls are covered with glyphs representing calculations of the Maya calendar cycles. These calculations show that, contrary to popular belief, the Maya believed the world would continue well past 2012. A report on this revealing new discovery appeared in the June 2012 issue of National Geographic. Join this entertaining presenter for vivid stories and images that shed fascinating new light on the lives of the enigmatic Mesoamerican people.
Now in its 16th year in Seattle, the series presents five of National Geographic's most dynamic explorers, scientists, archaeologists and photographers, each sharing stories from the front lines of exploration. Award-winning video and digital images animate the presentations, which conclude with a question-and-answer session with audience members. Join the adventure!
Tickets and series subscriptions are now available on the National Geographic Live! website.
Note: The Sunday matinee series is ideal for families with children ages 8 and up.

Here it is, the last shot.
After I have a baby I feel more creature than human. My body seems alien and my life feels like I've jumped to a new planet in the solar system. Jed really wanted these last pictures to look "genuinely me"--as I've reviewed last year's photo-shoots I am not entirely sure what that means. I suppose I look like a woman who is trying to figure it out--who she is and what that looks like.
But for today, I am this.

You look beautiful, as always. I know its hard to see the beauty in our own faces, but sometimes, you just have to listen to everyone else.

Courtney, thank you for sharing the words that go along with the pictures. They are both lovely and real. I too have felt like an alien after having each of my children. It is a profound blessing to bring forth life and to be all that is mother. Yet, the enormity of it all, the weight of it ALL is enough to cause a complete metamorphosis of every aspect of our lives. We are forever changed. Our hearts, minds, souls, and bodies are evolving into who God has created us to be for eternity. I like to think of the post partum days as my "cocoon" days. Those weeks, months or even years of transition, with all the joy and pain have brought me to the highest highs the lowest lows. Slowly, though I see "me" emerging. And really what I see is God. And I am created in His image. There is where I want to be. I pray that you will continue to keep your eyes fixed on Him in the days ahead. And that you will find peace in this amazing metamorphosis. Thank you for sharing you are a great encoragement to many other moms out here.

you laying sideways in the pillows is how I 'think' of you!
gorgeous! and how fun to have a full year of YOU! doesn't happen that often for us mommas. good for you.
Also...little side note. I met Mindy Gledhill at Queen Bee Market. I told her how much I loved her music and how sweet she was...but I also told her how lucky she was to be YOUR friend and get to sing with you. It might have been weird, but I thought you'd like that. It is all about you...right?!
Oh I also told her to tell you that I totally get your sarcasm and wit and wished I was your friend or neighbor. You make me laugh! Thank you!

I made captions in my head for every picture. They were all about the pillows. It was very funny, you should have been there.
- February 07, 2012
- Pony and Petey said...
I'm saying this in all honesty...you have a beautiful smile. Please choose a picture where you're smiling. When I look at those, I feel like I'm seeing the real you.
I know you CAN be serious but I think you're basically a funny person who communicates best through humor... snarky humor...awesomeness!
So to see the pics of you where you're serious doesn't seem to fit with the pic I have of you in my head where you have a smile...and probably a smirk is closer to the real you...in my mind, at least!
Thanks for sharing this process with us and allowing us to chime in on our favorites!

I wear a mens8EE/EEE2''heeledcowboyboot, or a 2"heeled size40Dansko because I have a service dog. My shoes need to be the same height for his equipment and my stability-backtopoint- Needless to say buying socks has never been easy for me; the one with a heart and a lung in each foot. Since my spinal cord accident hence surgery, my proprioception( foot placement) and sensations ( feeling in my limbs) has been altered, dramatically. These FITS Socks Co. socks are fabulous! Hands down t heyare absolutely the best knit wooleys I've worn with the smoothest toe seam:Ever! The first time I have been able to wear a single pair of socks for an entire day. And I have tried all of the wool socks available on the market made by all the best companies. These are going to make the others stand up and take notice of how socks used to be made when my grandmother, great-grandmother themselves knit them by hand;BEAUTIFULLY!! And for this I thank-you very much
Best Uses
Wearing them for Taoist Tai Chi work out and full day training. Keeps my feet happy while working out, chanting or doing meditation. They are soft and give enough so there is no tightness on the feet or legs which is good for training in the Taoist Arts and hiking!
Best Uses
There probably aren't a whole lotta' people out there who need to be convinced of Smartwool's comfort and ease of maintenance. But up to now, their range of color choices tended to be grounded in neutrals (which wasn't bad; sometimes you need a go- with-everything neutral.) When you're ready to step up your style, though, how can you go wrong with red/pink/yellow/gray stripes, or purple/peach/gray stripes? I dare you to look down at your feet in these without smiling! I like to think my toes are smiling, too.

This young baseball player grew up to excel in another sport -- football!
Yep, that a young Reggie Bush!
"Baseball was my first love. Wanted to be like Ken Griffey Jr. growing up! If only I knew then… " the NFL pro tweeted with the old-school pic. Reggie would go on to be a standout running back at USC -- winning the Heisman Trophy in 2005 (he later had to forfeit it after the NCAA learned he received improper benefits).
In 2010, Reggie won a Super Bowl title with the Detroit Lions. But in the world of entertainment, Reggie is best known for his on-off relationship with Kim Kardashian.
After they split for the last time in 2010, he dated Kim lookalike Melissa Molinaro, and recently had a baby with his girlfriend, Lilit Avagyan.
Daughter Briseis was born on May 6th.

The Top 50 Date Night Ideas of All Time
It's easy to fall into a routine, especially when it comes to foreplay—or lack thereof. These eleven sex games concentrate on the journey, making the final act especially fun.More
You need: A clock or an egg timer.
How to play: Pick a time interval —20 minutes, let's say. (If you're like us, even 10 minutes will be a change from the norm.) Whatever interval you choose, absolutely do not allow penetration until that much time has elapsed.
Why: Most busy couples have foreplay down to a science—and a bare minimum as well. "Time Bomb" refocuses you on the pregame show, the part that used to be so much fun before you lived together. You'll be surprised by how much slowing down changes things. You get really creative. You get really hot.
You need: A scarf, a man's necktie or a blindfold.
How to play: Blindfold him. Lead him to the bed or other locale. Then proceed to ravish him—slowly, recklessly, teasingly, however you feel like doing it. You call the shots. Let his arousal be your guide.
Why: Not being able to see during sex has two major effects—it dramatically increases both sensitivity and psychological vulnerability. Either one is a powerful aphrodisiac. Together they can create a love explosion.
Variation: He blindfolds you.

|A young man heads up some steep terrain near the town of East Carbon. It is important to remember that Utah state law requires anyone under the age of 18 to wear a helmet when riding an ATV.
The East Carbon council made it clear that several changes need to be made to the city's off highway vehicle ordinance, during their Nov. 13 meeting. Changes, that the council hopes will make East Carbon a more OHV rider-friendly community, according to statements made by the mayor and council. The issue raised so many questions it was tabled for further investigation and discussion.
"The decision we have to make is are we going to be ATV friendly or not," said East Carbon Mayor Orlando LaFontaine. "Because once the ordinance is set in place our law enforcement officers will not have discretion on who they do and don't cite, we are going to have to be very clear with the language we use."
The mayor's comments were given after the council made changes to the OHV ordinance the focus of the meeting, discussing the proposed change off and on for over an hour.
"The current changes to the OHV ordinance will make it possible and legal for all riders to ride their all-terrain vehicle from their home to the nearest trailhead," said East Carbon Councilmember Joyce Caviness. "Also four wheeler owners would be able to ride on all city streets when pushing snow during the winter. That does not mean that an individual can put their plow on and drive their motorbike around town when there is no snow to be pushed.
While most members of the council expressed an interest in keeping OHV laws as rider friendly as possible some within the governing body do want to see some tougher restrictions considers portions of the community.
"I live on Denver Avenue and right behind our home is an ATV drag strip," said East Carbon Councilmember David Maggio. "The dust is killing the whole street, not to mention the fact that a lot of that area is private property."
Maggio reported that he is a proponent of OHVs and ATVs but feels that some restrictions need to be made within the small municipality. Chiefly the marking of private property in order to keep riders off private land.
According to councilmember Caviness the real problem is the fact that there is no clear cut path through the city of East Carbon, making it difficult for riders to reach some trailheads or get gas when they need to.
"I think that if we develop a rider friendly law and just get people to stay off of private property then everything will be okay, then everybody could get to the gas station without there being a problem," said councilmember Darlene Kuhns. "I would say 70 percent of this community owns an ATV and they all like to ride."
|Newly elected and current councilmember Terry Harrison shares his views that OHV access is vital to the citizens of East Carbon.
One of Kuhn's main contentions has been the fact that riders speed up private property that runs parallel to her beauty salon.
"The speed at which they come over that hill and the fact that we have older people coming into the shop creates a very dangerous scenario," said Kuhns in an earlier meeting.
The state OHV site states that it is a rider's responsibility to protect their privilege to ride by riding only in areas designated as open to OHV. The burden has now fallen on the council to designate those areas.
The speed at which riders proceed on public roads was also a topic of discussion. Sunnyside recently posted 10 miles per hour as their ATV speed limit and East Carbon is watching their community's response as a way to possibly determine their own speed limit.
Just before the issue was tabled East Carbon citizen, Marcus Palacios, brought up Salina's laws, recommending that the city consider adopting similar ordinances.
According to Palacios, riders in Salina are allowed to ride on all public streets, including paved areas as long as they adhere to the city's laws.
During a community debate, councilmember, Terry Harrison who was appointed to the council earlier this year and recently voted into a four year term, made his opinion about ATVs abundantly clear.
"I own ATVs myself and when I came to this community I was amazed at the amount of riding that is available," said Harrison. "I feel it is something our community could capitalize on to promote economic growth via tourism as well as a continued activity for young and old alike in our city."

Senior House, as our name implies, is the only NYU residence exclusively for Seniors. But that means a lot more than just a building filled with only people from the Class of 2015. It means living in a community that's designed to help you tackle all the particular challenges of being a Senior.
So, for instance, we hold (optional, obviously) Thesis Boot Camps throughout the year, giving our students quiet study space, healthy food, a community of other sufferers scholars, and a chance to get individual feedback on their work. And in the Spring, we hold Thesis Dinners: we figure that if you're spending so much time on this project, you should get a chance to tell other people about it. The equation is pretty simple: you (and a couple other students each night) supply a short (!) talk about your thesis, we supply the dinner and wine to the building. It's a way to honor and celebrate all the hard work you'll have done.
Of course, Senior House isn't all work. We're also big on helping you cross things off your NYC/NYU bucket list. This year we've had best-selling comedy authors give private talks, we've gone to Broadway and Off-Broadway shows, Comic Con, Brooklyn Nets games, cooking classes. And, because one of the challenges of Senior Year is the job/grad school hunt, we even have a series called The Awesome but Obscure Career Of, where you'll get to learn about/network with, well, awesome but obscure professionals. (If you have an obscure career you're interested in, we'd love to create an event around it.)
And we do all of that in a building that looks much more like a regular apartment building than a residence hall. We've got hardwood floors, great kitchens, an awesome duplex event space you can rent for your own parties; we don't have a turnstile, or an NYU flag, and our guest policy is significantly more grown-up than other NYU residences.
In short, Senior House is designed to help you make the most of your Senior Year: socially, academically, culturally, job...ally. We'd love for you to think about Senior House.
For more information on how to apply, click here. Or feel free to email our Faculty Fellow in Residence, Ethan Youngerman, with any questions. You can reach him at: email@example.com
Ethan is a Senior Language Lecturer in the Expository Writing Program, where he's taught since 2001. He holds a BA in Theatre Studies from Yale and an MFA in Dramatic Writing from our own Tisch School of the Arts. One of his plays, The Sublet Experiment, was performed to sold-out crowds in real New York City apartments for over 6-months. As a born-and-raised New Yorker, Ethan's lived in every borough except Staten Island and roots for the Yankees because he loves excellence in all things.

Student Profiles
Greg Basthemer
Having completed much of my coursework as a math major I was interested in extending my existing 1-8 license into the high school ranks in order to make myself as flexible for my district as possible. I had heard about the Add-On program from a co-worker and after some investigating I knew that this was the program I was looking for. The staff was very helpful, flexible, and patient knowing how hectic a teachers schedule can be. I very much enjoyed my experience with the Add-On program and would recommend it to anyone who is seeking to extend their license like myself, or earn their teaching license for future employment.
Candace Cook
If I could pinpoint the most important piece of knowledge that I gained through the experience of getting my add-on licensure, it would be that successful art education has its roots in visual problem-solving and storytelling. I was able to delve deeper into the developmental stages of young children and gained new knowledge about not only how important they all are but also how to positively guide a student's exploration of their emerging visual language.
I feel that I have a much richer understanding of the developmental sequence of visual language from the beginning of early markmaking to adolescence. That has led me to create more developmentally appropriate units during this process. My teaching has concentrated on providing the most well-rounded program possible. I know that the education I received from this add-on license has helped me to be a better teacher.
Richelle Jochem
I'm a very busy wife, mother, and science teacher of seven preps. When I discovered that I needed an additional two licences I was scrambling to figure out what to do. Thankfully, I discovered the UW Oshkosh Add-Onl Program. I was able to take all of my courses online and write my portfolio in less than two years! I felt such a sense of accomplishment when I was done, and had gained a lot of knowledge and course materials for my classroom. I would highly recommend UW Oshkosh Add-On Program, the staff is wonderful, and the online resources are very helpful. Thank you EXCEL!
Cheryl Kilker
"As a mid-career professional seeking to return to teach in the classroom, I was thrilled to learn of UW Oshkosh's EXCEL Center! The Add-on Licensure program was a perfect fit for me! The staff is wonderful in helping me to achieve my goals. By adding additional licenses to my Broad Field Social Studies degree, I am more marketable to school districts. In fact, I will again be teaching high school psychology this fall! The EXCEL center's Add On Licensure program enables me to use my life experience to positively impact students. I highly recommend the Add On Licensure Program through the EXCEL center!
Ann Schultz
As a principal, I am always looking for the best way to effectively and efficiently staff our school so that the needs of our students are met. Scheduling courses that our students are required to take and desire becomes a jigsaw puzzle of resource allocation. Having teachers who are content certified and highly qualified in multiple content areas is truly a blessing. It gives me as a principal the opportunity to pull together a master schedule that best meets the needs of all of my students. I was thrilled to learn of the UW Oshkosh's Center for Additional Teaching Licenses! The Add-on Licensure program has allowed my teachers at Oshkosh West High School to gain additional licensure and achieve their own personal goals of increasing their knowledge and skills so that they are well prepared to meet the variety of needs of our learners. I highly recommend the UW Oshkosh Add On Licensure Program.
Jennifer Stobbe
The Add-On Program has had an immense impact on my development as a teacher, and therefore my students' learning, by allowing me to become more knowledgeable in the field of English and language arts and to improve my skills in English education. I have learned a lot about myself as a teacher by reflecting upon my dispositions and taking classes to help me make changes and improvements, where necessary, to my curriculum. Through the program I was given the opportunity to better understand the discipline as well as myself as an educator.

WOW! This program is fantastic! After checking into several options, it was clear that the Add-On Program at UWO was perfect for me! They were able to work with me to determine what courses I needed to complete in a timely manner. They also gave me suggestions as to where and when the courses were offered. They were VERY flexible and worked with me to complete my Student Teaching Placement within my current job. I was treated like a professional and they were very accommodating!

The Add-On Program is great!!!!!!!! As a full time teacher who also works most nights as a WIAA Official, finding the time and program to pursue my Adaptive Physical Education Certification was hard to do. Then I found UW-Oshkosh's Add-On Program. The staff informed me of what I needed, and did all the leg work and registration for me. They were so helpful when I needed questions answered or if I didn't know what to do next. The course work was of great importance to me and the online classes fit great into my busy schedule. I was able to complete the certification in one school year!!! I have and will continue to HIGHLY recommend UW-Oshkosh's Add-On Program to any teachers who are looking to further their education while pursuing further certifications.

Enrolling in the Add-On Licensure Program at UWO made it very convenient for me to achieve my professional goal of adding on a Social Studies license while still being able to continue my current teaching placement, and without putting too much stress on my family. The staff of the Center were rockstars when it came to helping me through all the requirements needed to add on my license. This is a program that I would definitely recommend to any educator that is looking to further their careers by adding on an additional teaching license.
Carl Kaiser
Upon finishing my initial teaching license in broadfield science, biology, and chemistry, I had a goal to obtain a physics concentration in order to broaden my jobs prospects both now and in the future. I researched several pathways to add on a license and the Add-on program caught my eye because of its flexibility and ability to accommodate a working professional. They assisted me in finding prerequisite courses that I could complete and the entire process was guided by the staff at the Excel Center. The majority of the other surrounding University programs in the area required me to take prerequisites during daytime hours which was impossible for me to complete. I am currently teaching in the area of my Add-on, thanks to the program, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their licensure area.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Has anyone used the Advent OE-Styles unit? I currently have one in my Silverado, but was curious how well the unit for the Focus worked.
Advent : OE Multimedia : OFOFOC1
|Glad its working out for you... I figured they'd compliment each other
|Ok so I used both the LC6i and the EQS together. The EQS fixed everything. It sounds perfectly now. Really strong bass at high volumes and the highs aren't ear bleeding anymore.
Honestly, it looks as though you should use both in tandem. I might be wrong but the EQS, being created as an EQ but usable as an OEM integration processor, lacks the ability to sum signals...
Also, neither unit has the Accubass feature, or the delay feature found in the DQ-61.
You need to use the LC6i for channel summing but the EQS also, to Tame that curvy sumnabich. The EQS does have that 40hz eq knob in the sub eq section... That's good.
If you look at your LC6i , does it have 3 sets of separate lines going to it? Or are any or all of the lines looped together? Also, are any of the summed indicators on the face of the unit lit in green? How many of the preamp outputs are you using?
|So my setup is Alpine spr-60c front and rear 2 type r 10" subs in the trunk and alpine's PDX-F4 4 channel amp and MRX-M110 mono amp. Right now I am summing the channels coming out of fords stock amp with an old lc6i I had from a previous car. I just got an Audiocontrol EQS and it has the high level inputs and I was thinking it might be better to just replace the lc6i with just the EQS. What do you think? I had a friend install the lc6i so Im not sure if he used the front tweeter signals when he summed the channels.
|Annnnd, last but not least, if your crossover is active, you'll need something to sum all of your speaker signals for one full range sound. Both the LCQ-1 and DQ-61 do this quite well and fairly easily...
Oh, and if your front highs are harsh I'm willing to bet it's either in the amps gain settings or the speakers themselves. Every set of Sony components I've ever heard were harsh AND bright...
You'd probably do well with some better balanced replacements. The Image Dynamics are very pleasing. With my tweets in the A Pillar and set to -3db in the crossover, they're just loud enough to hear, my mids are much more pronounced giving me a warm fat sound and not a cold thin sound... The rear IDs are coax and in spite of this fact, they sound nearly identical to the components. They get loud and are perfectly happy performing from around 45hz to 22khz @100w per channel. I chose 45hz so that when my sub is off, I don't feel completely bass deprived.
Btw, I'm an audio engineer and my two favorite studio monitors are the KRK VXT8s and the Dynaudio BM6As... Both of which I own and rely on and I trust my ears over anything else so, don't take my word for it, listen for yourself! Trust your ears... :blush:
I'm using the non Sony version. There is no difference in the decks themselves between the two non touch/non Sony with My Ford models. Just 4 speakers or 6 which really is still 4 with a set of crappy components...
I've heard the Sony version and honestly, I'm willing to bet that the eq and fade settings are much the same as the My Ford versions, just with more power.
I bet that your speakers are getting full range from around 30hz with a very steep roll off, up to around 18-22khz in the front and steep roll off in the back around 40-45hz up to 18-22khz in the rear with one ugly spike around 5khz in your rear highs making them impossibly harsh. But if you test it, you probably get sub bass in the rear that kicks in at 36hz and much much lower. I don't believe the stock speakers respond that low so Ford didn't bother filtering the sound like they did the front components.
I think the spiked highs was done to make up for the lower location of the rear speakers but it sounds HORRIBLE...
Like I said before, send your rear signal to your subs then get a unit capable of adjusting for your 40hz dip which will allow you ignore the spike in the highs. Then get the full range much more tamed signal routed to your mids and highs and this will also allow you to "mix in" your subs to your liking without a remote control...
Or, and I wouldn't know because I don't have the Sony unit, if you have control over the gain of your subwoofer from the stock deck, send the front full range to your front and rear mids n highs, skip your rear signal altogether, send your sub signal to your new sub and adjust for any frequency spikes or rolloffs thus keeping your sub control in tact and giving your mids and highs a much fuller tameable sound...
Also, give your speakers and sub a week of playtime before you really EQ and get your gains set just right... Those suspensions need to loosen up for a good full range sound, then take your time EQing and getting the gains dialed in.
Sidenote, I set my outputs and gains to be at max output at 23-24 on my volume setting giving me full sound at all volume levels, minimal roll off and controlled highs. Find your stereo's loudest point at which sounds clear, minimal distortion, decent bass and most "musical" then keep this as your reference point when tuning and EQing...
Hope that helps...
|ThaSurgeonGeneral what stock head unit do you have? Basic or the Sony system? I have the Sony system on the myford touch and I am getting some crazy harsh highs. I was wondering if anyone know if the front speaker signals coming out of the stock sony amp are left as full range? I know the amp has the tweeter signals coming out but Im not sure if it leave the front signals output still intact. Thanks in advance for any info!
FYI, as it turns out, the frequency issue I wrote about above is a little narrower (only 37hz-43hz) but just as devastating of a problem. To reduce the EQ issues in the rear mids and highs, I opted to send the front full range signal to the rear also. This vastly improved high end harshness and boomy low end. I also decided to send all rear signal to subwoofer input only so that I could fade the stereo to the front for no sub bass or to the rear for sub bass only (test tone adjustments).
So, to counteract the dip in the 40hz range, I've opted to switch from the LCQ-1 to the DQ-61 for the one addition of a 40hz nob on the sub EQ section.
I'll post my findings as soon as everything is installed.

About 2,000 Malawian children are learning basic, early English literacy skills to read and write, with a little help from north country communities.
Books, index cards, crayons, markers, flash cards, alphabet charts, paper slips for pocket charts and other materials are being collected throughout the greater Watertown area so that leaders with the Keys to Education project can take more lessons and rewards to teachers in the African country.
Heather F. White, a kindergarten teacher at Sherman Elementary School, said a group of women, whose backgrounds include teaching and reading consulting, will travel to Malawi for two weeks in May to distribute materials, check progress on how the first year of the program went last year and continue to provide educational workshops to help Malawian teachers learn effective early literacy practices.
What they do oftentimes is take verses from the Bible, write it on a (chalk) board, and kids memorize it, Mrs. White said. We were giving them their first set of reading strategies.
One male Malawian teacher, she said, wrote her a letter after she and a few others participated in the Keys to Education program last year and asked Mrs. White if he could come to the United States and shadow her in her classroom.
Seeing teachers there engaged in learning so they can help their students learn is humbling and rewarding, Mrs. White said.
Teachers provide feedback about the program, and from that feedback, Keys to Education leaders here know what new materials to collect and what early literacy learning progress is being made. Keys to Education is made possible by a $34,000, three-year grant from the Presbyterian Women organization of the Presbyterian Church USA. Women who went last year were founders or supporters of the Women of Grace Widows Fund, to which the grant was awarded.
Last year, Renee G. Waterbury, a first-grade teacher at Sherman; Rita A. Gefell, a teaching assistant in the Carthage Central School District; and Sue Remington, a first-grade teacher in Colorado, accompanied Mrs. White on a 10-day learning adventure for the program in Malawi when school was out of session. This time, Mrs. White is taking fresh faces there when school is in session.
This spring, Mrs. White will be accompanied by Barbara Eldridge, a retired reading consultant for the Watertown City School District; Julia R. Bonisteel, a retired elementary teacher; and Julia Gefell, a graduate student intern who is studying in California for her masters degree to work in the area of English as a second language.
Im really excited for that component because with Julia shell be bringing fresh-out-of-college knowledge, energy and excitement, Mrs. White said.
Although Keys to Education receives grant money, its leaders are responsible for raising some money toward material, supply and shipping costs. The group will host an African Tea fundraiser from 3 to 4:30 p.m. March 9 in the MacSherry Parish Center of Trinity Episcopal Church, 227 Sherman St., to benefit the project. A free-will offering will be encouraged.
Mrs. White said she would like to have 2,000 alphabet cards made for the trip, which show all 26 letters of the alphabet, a picture that starts with each letter and other cues. On the back will be the 50 most common words in the English language. Mrs. White said she hopes a local printing company may be able to help reduce the cost of producing those.
Service groups or organizations, churches or individuals can contribute to the trip by contacting Mrs. White via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lewis Hamilton says beating Red Bulls will be very hard in Germany
Lewis Hamilton believes he has a chance to beat the Red Bulls to German Grand Prix victory but predicts to do so will be "very hard".
Hamilton took pole position for Mercedes ahead of Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber.
Hamilton said: "I anticipate they will both be strong. Of course it will help if we can get into Turn One in the lead and try to hold them behind.
"We have [tyre] degradation issues but I don't think it's impossible."
Hamilton led the British Grand Prix from pole position for the first seven laps last Sunday until suffering a tyre failure, and afterwards said he felt he could have won.
Both Hamilton and Mercedes team boss Ross Brawn admitted on Friday that the Red Bulls looked stronger than the Mercedes when they did their race-simulation runs in second practice.
Hamilton said: "I think it's going to be very hard. The Red Bulls have obviously made a step this weekend. I think a lot of teams have made a step forwards.
"Webber said to me that these tyres seem to work really well on his car so I think perhaps they have had, who knows, potentially they have gained a better advantage than we have by switching tyres. His long run was very strong the other day."
Pirelli have brought a new type of tyre to this race in an attempt to avoid the problems experienced at Silverstone, when six drivers suffered tyre failures during the race. There have been no problems so far this weekend.
Hamilton set the pace in first practice on Friday morning but struggled for pace in the second and third sessions, lagging half a second behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, before a set-up change on his car ahead of qualifying put him back in contention.
The team reverted Hamilton's mechanical set-up to where it had been on Friday morning but changed some of the electronic settings to new ones.
Hamilton said: "The car is obviously, as Nico has showed, great to drive. But trying to get a nice balance is not as easy.
"Nico has been here a long time and is used to the formalities and working with the engineers. For me I'm still finding it a little bit difficult to find my way.
"We were lost. We went from one end of the spectrum to the other and it went from huge understeer to huge oversteer.
"Usually if you don't have it right at the end of P3 you're stuffed. I really thought I was going to struggle to get into the top 10 with the balance I had. We made some big, big changes all round. I went fingers crossed into qualifying and the car felt great from the first lap, something I could really do something with."
He ended up beating Vettel by 0.103secs with the very last lap of qualifying.
Rosberg will start 11th after he failed to progress beyond the second knock-out session because the team underestimated how much other drivers would improve. The German dropped from second to 11th in the last four minutes of the session.
"It's tough, yeah," he said. "It's one of those days in sport that are really horrible so it's very difficult to digest."
Brawn said: "We were obviously very keen to keep two sets of [the faster] 'option' [tyres] for final qualifying, so we only wanted to use one set in Q2.
"To be honest, we thought the time was good enough. It was right at the end and we got caught out by the fact it got a lot quicker at the end of Q2.
"The wind dropped and the track seemed to pick up grip. The cars were going quite a lot quicker and by then we had no time to react.
"We were just biting our nails and we were just one place out, it was a misjudgement."

Comment number 254. Posted by Blades of Steelon 8 Jul 2013 22:23
Yep, F1 had its Concorde era all it is doing now is recycling old designs and refining them.
F1 is all about keeping the none motorsport fan happy most of the time.
I always remember 89,90,91,92 because of the Honda V10, Ford HB, Ford DF, Ferrari V12, Judd V8, Renault V10, Lamborghini V12.
Great era of sounds, driving, racing and a healthy sized grid.
It felt like a competition back then.

@241 ooooh urban - faux americana is urban is it? I don't care how he articulates his issues He just needs to stop squeeling as thought he world owes him; he does himself a disservice as he is a quick driver but he's starting to develop emotional baggage.
Comment number 251. Posted by F1realiston 8 Jul 2013 21:15
6 wheeled Tyrells, Lotus ground effects cars, Brabham fan car, the good old days when F1 was genuinely cutting edge, blue sky thinking.
Now it's fuel-efficient "power units" not engines, and sucking up to the green brigade.

@236 Evolve Good analysis. Maybe ur right about emphasis on quali setup.
I guess the question is how can Merc further minimize the massive heat conduction from the diffl, V8 powerplant, and discs all combined to ultimately those darn Pirellis?
Maybe Mount portable fans on top both air ducts pointed at the rears? Im sure the Merc would laugh me into oblivion then buy me a pint 4 caring. lol ;)

Another race weekend, another whinge, Hamilton just never stops, and now he's moaning about how the YDT will affect them.
Karma, the great equaliser.

@234 "Now come on mate, "thermal energy", gas will have no idea what you are on about......" lol :D
Trouble with gaz is he's an emotional poster, an sadly the emotion that dominates his posts is Hate for LH. He doesn't assess F1 analytically.
Gaz - can it with the "LH did this", or "LH said that" or your fav "in 2009 LH blah, blah, BLAH" None of em are perfect - be a REAL F1 fan an cool it.

@ 238 daveh
let's see wat he actually said,;
*these guys are on different tyres to me Man*
is NR on the same tyre?
which of these is all that bad? or do u object the urban way he expresses himself when talkin to his engineer?
Comment number 240. Posted by MCFortyon 8 Jul 2013 19:45
At 212 Lee. You should be a politician because you're certainly most excellent at taking things out of context and spinning them. The guy was being interviewed, he was asked a question, how did you expect him to respond? Everyone at Mercedes naturally expects him to beat Nico, if they didn't then there would be parity in their salaries.
Comment number 239. Posted by F1realiston 8 Jul 2013 18:19
No, no, it's not moaning, it's the detailed feedback his fanboys tell us Lewis is so good at: "I've got no grip, Man!"
Comment number 238. Posted by davehon 8 Jul 2013 18:14
@237 the point about the moaning is that LH seems to be playing to the gallery when he broadcasts. He's overly emotive and doesn't appear to be clinically assessing the situation. I didn't say he was the worst of the worst but at the moment he's sounds like a boy in a mans world. He could do with some good PR

Some observers are mystified by Chuck Hagel's pathetic showing at his Senate Armed Services Committee hearing, but there should be no mystery about it. He performed as he did for one simple reason: He wants to be the next secretary of defense, and he (along with the White House) must have calculated that standing up for his past positions would have harmed his chances.
Only by establishment standards did the old Hagel look like a radical critic of U.S. foreign policy. For example, he once criticized the 2007 military surge in Iraq, but he voted to authorize President George W. Bush to send troops there.
He previously expressed concern about the drive to war with Iran over its alleged nuclear-weapons program. But he supported multilateral economic sanctions against the Iranian people, although he criticized unilateral sanctions and made favorable statements about negotiating with the Islamic republic.
Hagel also criticized Israel and what he called "the Jewish lobby" in the United States. Among his statements on this subject, he said the Israelis "keep Palestinians caged up like animals," complained that the lobby "intimidated" members of Congress, and accused his congressional colleagues of doing "dumb" things as a result. Yet in the Senate he voted for every aid bill for Israel.
But during his Senate hearing, Hagel retracted or considerably watered down every one of these statements. To many questions, he responded along these lines: "I've said many, many things over many years.... If I — if I had a chance to go back and edit it, I would. I regret that I used those words."

Hiring a car is a great way to get around the island, and many companies offer three-day specials for such excursions; however, travellers planning to stay on or near their resort will quickly find they don't really need a car. Aruba has a good bus system that connects most hotels with downtown Oranjestad, running roughly every 20 minutes from 8am to 6pm and every hour from 6pm to midnight, Monday through Saturday. Taxis are also available (although hard to hail, so it's best to have the hotel or restaurant call for one), and a preferable mode of transport after dark. There are no meters but drivers have a list of official fares.
Electric current in Aruba is 127 volts, 60Hz. Flat two- and three-pin plugs are standard.
The official currency is the Aruban Florin (AWG). The Florin is tied to the US Dollar. US currency is accepted everywhere and other major currencies can be exchanged at banks. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted and there are ATMs in Oranjestad.
The international dialling code for Aruba is +297. City codes are not required. A GSM mobile network covers the island. Cellular phones are available for rental and internet cafes are widely available in tourist areas.

The State of Washington is a Democrat stronghold. It has been decades since Democrats have lost a senatorial or gubernatorial race. Washington is also blessed with abundant natural beauty, excellent harbors, and an agreeable (if rather wet) climate. There are plenty of reasons why a company suc has Boeing would want to operate in Washington. But there are also plenty of reasons why Boeing and other aeronautical companies might want to operate in other places.
Wichita, for example, was long the center of small aircraft production in America. Houston and Cape Canaveral in Florida were seen, as early as Jules Verne's day, as the best locations for a moon shot. Most air traffic controllers are trained in Oklahoma City. The Wright Brothers, though from Ohio, chose the Carolinas for the first manned flight. The location of enterprise is the logical consequence of a balancing of different interests. Cities, for example, often gain donations for high culture (like symphony orchestras) by touting how this will attract business.
