For most college students, there's a differentiation between life inside the classroom and out; there's a time to be cerebral and then there's the other 22 hours of the day. Unigo looked for schools that cater to students who happily spend all their waking hours in pursuit of intellectual stimulation, questioning life, challenging the status quo and letting their curiosity run wild. Thirty thousand student votes later, they identified the top ten schools where being a "nerd" (as they often, and lovingly, refer to themselves) is truly the norm.
Do you agree or disagree? What makes a school "intellectual" to you? Weigh in below.
The students at Brown University are said to be among the most intellectual and eccentric of all the Ivy Leaguers. Part of this reputation stems from Brown's progressive educational philosophy: students can choose to take any course pass-fail, and there are no core requirements. As a result, students only take the courses that interest them and rarely stop talking about their academics. "Everyone in every class has chosen to be there," writes a senior majoring in English. "Interesting and engaged students then leave class and chat long into the night about every topic you can imagine, hours after classes are done," another says. One student sums it up: "Overall, and fostered by our open curriculum, Brown students are unique in that we get to place an extremely high value on creativity, on intellectual independence, and on a real, honest passion for learning and being."
At Carleton College, many joke that the five-story Gould Library is the centerpiece of the social scene. "Intellectualism isn't about being in class here -– it is your way of life," one student attests. "Students study constantly both because they want to and because the work never stops. Even if you aren't studying, you're probably talking about something intellectual. You will very frequently run into students hanging out outside debating politics, religion or the theory of relativity," another adds. This outside-of-class philosophizing only enhances in-class work, and students rave about the breadth and depth of classes available. They also praise the fantastic faculty. "Professors here are incredibly wonderful and down-to -earth -- they have high expectations, but encourage and help students to meet them. As students we're welcomed into their offices and even their homes, usually with a plate of brownies to satiate us."
Grinnell College students are intellectually curious, fiercely liberal and anti-mainstream. One junior describes the typical Grinnellian as "as liberal and idealistic as can be, ever protesting and petitioning, a rabid environmentalist, studying like crazy, beyond over-involved in extracurriculars and loving it, always questioning the world as we know it, wanting to learn more and wearing jeans and sneakers because you never know when it'll be warm enough to lay out on the field with a book to read." A senior Spanish major adds: "The great thing about Grinnell students is that each one of them is an intellectual dork. When you talk to them they seem really laid back and chill, but then when you touch on that one subject that really interests them, they suddenly jump out with enthusiasm and impressive intelligence." In class, that intelligence is put to good use, as one student relays: "Most classes are discussion-based, and you are challenged not to repeat what you are told, but rather to question what you are told and give reasons why someone might decide to tell you that in the first place. The best part of learning at Grinnell is you are taught how to learn and question, as opposed to learning facts and rules."
Haverford College's motto roughly translates to "not more learning; better learning," which reflects how engaged students are with their education. As a freshman sums up: "People here are nerdy, but in the absolute best way possible." Overall, the academics at Haverford are top-notch, and Fords thrive on both formal and informal intellectual conversations. One senior, a history major, put it this way: "Every single class I've had at Haverford has been stimulating. Professors always know your name, inside the classroom and out of it. And our love of learning definitely transfers effortlessly from the classrooms during the day to the dorm rooms at night."
Macalester College's 2,000 undergrads are known for their quirky intellectualism and liberal politics. Students thrive in the small, discussion-based classes which ground the school's challenging academic programs, and professors go the extra mile to ensure students get the most out of their education. "Professors here make you think harder, write better, speak better, make connections you never would have made and even laugh (that's important too!)" said one freshman studying art. Another adds: "Students are extremely passionate about the classes they take, and this leads to endless intellectual discussions in the dorms at night. Endless. We never get to sleep!" A sophomore says: "I probably learn as much outside of class as I do inside of it, thanks to other students. It is simply understood that students at Macalester are passionate, intelligent, and honestly enjoy learning."
Pomona College brings even the most socially reluctant students to blossom. "In high school, I spent five hours a day talking to people online. During my entire first year at Pomona, I only IM'ed one person once," a freshman from Arizona says. "Why? Because everyone I want to talk to is right here, living with me, and they are some of the most fascinating people on earth. We are constantly interacting with one another, in the flesh, and I can honestly say I learn as much from listening to my intellectually engaged peers as I do from my professors." This isn't to say students at the California college don't appreciate their professors as well. One says: "Almost all the professors I've had know me by name and they are very accessible." Another sophomore adds, "I get more individual attention from Pomona professors than I did in my high school. If you're looking for an incredible education in beautiful California, surrounded by some of the smartest and in-love-with-learning students imaginable, this is the place to be."
Reed College is a school for free-spirited intellectuals deeply in love with learning. The typical "Reedie" spends hours each day (including weekends) hunched over some lofty text in the library or poring through volumes of scholarly journals. "Not studying is not an option," explains one student who claims to hit the books a minimum of five hours a day. "The workload and academic expectations are enormous -- prepare for the onslaught or you WILL be crushed. No, really," adds another. Students often cite reading assignments topping 300 pages a night, 20-page papers, and the "stress culture" that these rigorous demands breed. "Do not go to Reed if you do not want to push yourself to learn, and if you are not enthused by reading, by writing long papers, and by discussing things in class," writes one junior. The workload may often seem overwhelming, and it probably is, but students are bolstered by their professors, who treat them as peers and insist that students refer to them on a first-name basis. "[My professors] know who I date, they know how I really feel about those people," writes a junior majoring in religion. But, as a final student writes, "Reed will drive you crazy. If it doesn't, you didn't do it right. It's small, it's intense, and it's lovely. It's a haven for displaced and disenchanted intellectuals and we like it that way."
As a current Swarthmore senior says, "If the idea of spending four years surrounded by a bunch of slightly off-kilter, extremely cerebral and typically poorly dressed people sounds good to you, then you'll love Swarthmore." Another student says: "We're awkward nerds here, but definitely not in an unattractive way! In fact, some peoples' awkward characteristics are what make them so very human and lovable." A final student sums up, "Swarthmore is a good place to find a husband or wife, because the high intellectual capacity of everyone here means you're more likely to find your 'soulmate,' or some other stupid term like that."
While the University of Chicago's official motto is Crescat scientia; vita excolatur (Let knowledge grow from more to more; and so be human life enriched), some students refer to the school as the place "Where fun goes to die." This is somewhat misleading, but it gets to the heart of UChicago's reputation: its academic intensity. "The stereotype says UC students spend all their time studying … but it leaves out an important clarification. We find studying fun. We find doing work fun. Normative definitions of fun don't fly here." A sophomore studying anthropology writes, "Let's put it this way: the all-night level of the library is one of the most social places on campus." But students don't mind. To the contrary, they seem to get a kick out of the intellectual — and sometimes straight-up weird — atmosphere of the school. "Sometimes my friends and I will look at each other in the middle of a conversation and just say WOW, this is a UChicago conversation!" Another sets the campus scene: "At any given time, when you walk across the quad, you'll hear everything from talk about Super String Theory to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster to a psychoanalysis of Anna Karenina to commentary on the new U.S. Mint. How great is that?"
Consider Wesleyan University the anti-high school (if you didn't like your high school). As one says, "What I love about Wes is that it's okay to get enthusiastic about the things that were uncool in high school. This is not to say that all of my friends share my enthusiasm for 19th century British social customs, or particularly tech-savvy stage lighting equipment, but I've never felt dismissed for being interested in those things. Plus, more often than not, the person you're talking to is equally interested in some related dorky thing." Says an alum: "Wesleyan is a school full of truly engaged students." As one student sums it up: "Everyone here is so talented at something, and often it is the thing you would least expect." A final Wesleyanite adds a warning: "If you come here, prepare to spend time around people who question every single thing -– really, every single thing! –- in society. All the time. It honestly never stops."

Nice wig
I haven't worn a wig for years, but after a really bad cut and color job, I hated my own hair so much I buzzed it off. Drastic I know, but I couldn't live with it the way it was and decided I would look better in beanies and bandannas. I was uncomfortable going to church in those though, so I decided to buy this wig. Not sorry. The color was good, I may get it styled, but it is nice just the way it is, too. Love the lace part does look like a natural part, and comfortable enough to wear all day. I am a happy customer, will probably buy another.
So Natural!
I absolutely love this wig! I have alopecia so I prefer the petite cap size as well as the lace front and monofilament top. It makes me feel like my hairline and part look just like everyone else! Sometimes I get it cut into more of a bob style and sometimes I wear it at the length it is made. I have ordered this wig several times and will keep coming back to it.
With regard to the review on 9/12/13 I wear a wig every day and sometimes 12-14 hours each day. They all wear out. Elastic and plastic get stretched out. But a great teacher showed me how to un-frizz the synthetic wigs using a drapery steamer and a comb. It will make it very straight! Then use a Teflon coated curling iron or a flat iron with a synthetic setting to give it a soft shape.
Quality issue
very good in appearance in the begining. . But after sopmetime the quality of the hair is not very good. After 2 years the hair are not good at all as theyare looking like burned by fire.

Premier Kristina Keneally puts an end to politician junkets
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- July 24, 2010
- Ministers have reputation for junkets
- Premier says business has to drive trips
- No more study tours until after election
NSW'S jet-set ministers will be banned from taking overseas trips unless they bring back investment, Premier Kristina Keneally has ruled.
But she defended her jet-set Cabinet as having important meetings and business to do.
The Daily Telegraph yesterday revealed Environment Minister Frank Sartor is on a tour of San Francisco, Paris, London, Brussels, Chicago, Washington and New York.
Seven other ministers will travel - including Treasurer Eric Roozendaal, who went to China last month and goes to Asia and New York this year.
Ms Keneally, who spent a week in China this month, said Mr Sartor had 26 meetings on managing waste.
"Until the election there will be no study tours approved by me as premier; the only trips that will be taken by ministers will be those taken in the name of trade and investment or those where [ministers] have been invited by other organisations to accompany [them]," she said.
Ms Keneally defended her travel, saying she oversaw a $3 billion commitment from a large China food retailers.

Mary-Anne was very knowledgable, so,it,made the trip enjoyable. Found a lot about the history of Amsterdam and saw a lot,of the countryside. Would recommend this,trip.
July 2014
The city tour gives just enough info so you can decide what you really need to explore more closely. The tour of Delft was great. The Hauge was a very interesting place. Could have done without the stop at the diamond store though.
June 2014
Great places!
June 2014
The morning tour allowed us to get our bearings around Amsterdam. For the afternoon tour we saw some of the countryside on the way to the Delft factory. The walking tour around The Hague at the end of the day allowed us to take in the history of this city.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable - we loved this tour.
Sandra and Phil
June 2014
The tour guide was excellent and the AMS tour great. Delft was wonderful - couldn't get into buildings in The Hague but trip was great.
April 2014
The tours were great and the guide (same for both) was wonderful.
Unfortunately I didn't get what I ordered. The afternoon trip went to Volendam and Maaeken, not Delft and the Hague. I checked my eticket in the office and received a ticket for that tour. I handed it to the bus driver as the afternoon part of the tour was boarding. I don't know whether that's all they were doing that afternoon or whether they just didn't give me complete instructions, but it definitely was a different tour.
As I said, it was most enjoyable and I learned a lot.
December 2013
This was an amazing trip to Amsterdam.The Hotel was in walking distance to the Museum district and to many nice restaurants.

I'm a self-taught sewist, so when I first started sewing, I didn't really know what to buy. I spent a lot of money on books and notions, not wanting to miss out on some special technique or gadget that would make it all easier. Instead, (though I truly enjoyed the books) I overwhelmed myself with too much information. And some of those notions just became clutter.
Now I realize that I could have saved money by getting just a few vital supplies and books. That's money I could have spent on fabric for practicing my skills.
I hope this is not too long-- but here's what I would probably buy if I knew then what I know now. (I'm not saying this is ALL you need, but rather a recommended list of things to get you started):
--A learning book to get you started. My favorite is Sew U, because it covers all the basics and has patterns included.
--A good "encyclopedia" of techniques. I like Vogue Sewing; many people prefer the Reader's Digest sewing book.
--A good, easy, fitting book. This is VERY subjective and unfortunately it's very hard to find them at libraries or bookstores in order to compare them. IMO the easiest ones for beginners are Nancy Zieman's books, but I don't think they are the best. My favorite is Fast Fit by Sandra Betzina but it's not the most user-friendly.
--A fabric guide. I like More Fabric Savvy. A fabric guide tells you what kind of needle, thread, and interfacings to use with each fabric.
If you plan to sew a lot with knits, you might want to add Sew U Home Stretch.
--Extra-fine, glass-head silk pins. Because they are high quality, easy to use, and can be used on any fabric including knits. I got mine mail-order, though I think I've seen them in quilting sections of the chain stores too.
--High-quality shears, such as Gingher. I love my rotary cutter, but you still need scissors so you might as well buy them first. Cheaper Fiskars are o.k. but mine went dull really quickly.
--Schmetz needles. Start with a set of Universal in a variety of sizes; then refer to your fabric guide book when you're ready to branch out into specialty fabrics.
--A good steam iron and ironing board.
--A pressing ham.
--Measuring tools: A flexible gridded see-through or "C-thru" ruler (in the quilting dept.) and a tape measure are all I use.
--A seam ripper.
--For marking: I love my Chaco-liner. It works on almost every fabric and it makes a finer, smoother line than regular tailor's chalk. I prefer chalk rather than markers, because markers are more likely to stain.
--A thimble and hand needles. I like my leather thimble because it's soft.
--Thread: �Stay away from the "bargain" thread bins. I usually just buy an all-purpose thread to match my fabric. The fabric guide books also give specific recommendations.
Make sure you have a straight stitch and zig-zag with adjustable width and length. If you are buying used, keep in mind that some machines more than 20 years old or so are harder to thread. On my machine, I love my one-step buttonhole. I also like the speed control function, which enables me to sew without fear that the machine will speed out of control.
That's my list--I'd be interested in hearing what others consider "essential" for absolute beginners.
UPDATE 9/13/08: I edited my list because some new books have come out since I first wrote my list and I also discovered the Chaco-liner since then. -- Edited on 9/13/08 10:24 AM --
Good topic and great list!I also like to buy good thread in many colors when it's on sale, various weights of interfacing when it's on sale, and elastic in various widths when it's on sale (see a trend here? )I find these are the 3 things I am most likely to either forget to buy, run out of, or change my mind and add to a pattern, and I hate to have to stop sewing when I actually have found a few moments!
Great list Betty! Here are my additions:1. Tracing paper for marking darts ( I use the saral tracing paper from joanns)2. Tracing wheel for using with tracing paper3. Transparent paper from art supply store to make a copy (tracing) of the original pattern. 4. Washable Markers for tracing the patterns. Thats all for now. I might add more later.

An absolute must is a hem guage. To measure off hems, seam allowances for pressing under, measuring small amounts for trimming. From measuring buttons and buttonholes to hems, this is a must.Another must for marking is some sort of marking tool. I have spent $$ ontrying different ones over the years, but my faves are water soluble marking pens (air dissolving ones wear away too fast) and good old fashioned chalk. I use these for marking things too small or niggly for tracing paper. I mark my notches as lines after cutting so that I can see them better, I use them for marking off hems ... Very valuable!
------Like Miss Frizzle says "Take chances, make mistakes ..." isn't that what fitting is all about? I am happily taking chances and making mistakes as I fit muslin after muslin ...
Another must for me are my fabric books. FAbric Savvy by Betzina and Sew Any Fabric by Shaeffer.
I have what I call my desert island sewing kit. It containsneedleswhite thread for basting and tailor's tackstape measuresilk pinsseam gaugeseam ripperbuttonhole cutterbodkinpoint turnergingher shearsI have many other useful notions, but these are the ones that I always seem to need.
I like your list, redhead, except I'd trade the bodkin for a tracing wheel and tracing paper. I've never used my bodkin When someone tells me they want to sew, I tell them to do the following:Get a copy of "Sewing for DUmmies"Sign up for the joann mailing list, so you never pay full price for anythingBuy a Brother machine for under $100 from Wal-Mart. If you decide to stick with sewing you can upgrade and use the cheaper one when your main one is being serviced, or pass it along to someone else who wants to learn to sew

When I very first started out sewing, people would give me all these sewing supplies from the back of their closet. Half of the time they didn't even know how to use them, and even more of the time I didn't either. I'm too much of a beginner to have a whole list of "this is what you need", but these are somethings I wish I knew before.--All pins are NOT created equal. I inherited pins; I figured, pins are pins. Everyone here has recommend silk pins, which I know are supposed to be finer. Well, I've always wanted finer pins, but I've also liked the pins I've used that are long and have larger heads (quilter's pins?). Much easier to grab and work with. I think it would always be good to have some larger/stronger pins on hand, even if the silk pins are the "best"--use the larger/stronger ones for thick or bulky fabric. (Fleece, denim, faux fur, etc.)--I especially want to second what Candyo said about the JoAnn's mailing list. After going to JoAnn's and being appalled that even supposedly buying patterns at 50% of it was still $8 and up!! Now I'm steamed that try to rip you off most of the time, even while claiming to have them onsale. Everyone I know flat-out refuses to buy patterns unless they're being sold for a dollar. The first time I saw one of those sales, I bought as many patterns as I could, thinking this only happened about, oh, 3 times a year, tops. Now, if I don't see them go on sale once a flyer, I'm shocked.--I also second that the first machine be cheap, or preferably free. It seems like it's not too hard to find someone who has, or knows of someone who has, a machine they no longer need and would be glad to get rid of. If you have a choice, though, I'd make sure I got a drop-in bobbin, not a vertical one. It jams a lot less and is a million times easier to use.--Seam ripper, tape measurer, marker (I like the combination marker where one end dissappears in the air and the other end dissappears in water, but chalk also works. Hey, when I started out I just used a ball point pen!, iron, and scissors all all totally necessary. (Though I find Fiskars scissors that you can buy at any office supply store work fine for me, so I've yet to invest in "good" pair of scissors. They do dull quicker, but you can buy another cheap pair, or find some places that sharpens scissors for a few bucks. Or use dull scissors, like I do!! --I don't even know what a bodkin is. I've always fudged a point turner. I think I have a seam gauge, but I never use it. I don't have a buttonhole cutter, but a small pair of embroidery scissors goes on my list of "musts". A tracing wheel and paper are great for darts, but anything can be fudged.--I have totally fallen in love with supposed quilter's items--the rotary cutter, huge self-healing mat, clear gridded rulers (I use these rulers for EVERYTHING--buttonholes, and hems, and lots of other things). Totally expensive for notions (in my opinon), so I asked for them for Christmas instead.--I never had room for an ironing board, so I always fudged and through a towel over a table. A pain in the neck, and hard to iron things on, but it does work in a pinch. Then I got a traveling ironing board and a half size. Much more out of the way, but you can iron so much easier on them.--I do have a ham. I haven't used it yet. If I ever (hopefully! get to tailoring, I'm sure it will be necessary. --Hand needles, machine needles, bobbins, thread, interfacing, invisible zippers and invisible zipper foot (I actually put in my first zipper, accidentally an invisible one, with a alll purpose foot. Well, the zipper hasn't fallen out, but it isn't invisable!.--Books are very personal. I'm glad there's a long list of suggestions here. But there I some books that I would love to have, that I can't recommend to other people of different temperments, and vice versa. For instance, I know a lot of people love Sandra Betzina, but (don't hang me for this) she gets on my nerves. Even if she gives technically good advice, I never like reading her books. Also, she doesn't inspire me to do better, which is what I like in books. Then again, I know a lot of people like sewing so much better now that they've found a quicker easier way to do it. So while I don't want to bad-mouth Sandra Betzina, I will never ever buy her books. Our personallities just don't mix. --Get both Fitting Finess and Fit For Real People. The whole point of making clothes is making clothes that fit, and they won't straight of the pattern. Please suggest lots of books. I can never have enough books. I am especially looking for good (not necessarily the easiest) books on pattern altering--not altering for fit, but altering to change from one style to another.The only problem with books is that some times you run out of room to store them. But if you do wall to wall bookshelves, then your house becomes better insulated, and it hides the ugly wall-paper the previous owners put in. Books have indexes, they don't forget, and they don't tell you "I told you so" when you try it your way first and ruin your whole project.
Talitha, don't be ashamed of disliking an author's style. Nothing wrong with that. Personally, I hate the Reader's digest sewing book with a passion. It's dated, even the revised editions. What young person wants a book that screams 50's housewife? I'm sure nobody's going to crucify me for hating that book- it's all opinion.
That's true! That's why I wanted to start this thread, because I knew there would be alot of opinions--and a lot of agreements too. New beginners can take confidence in buying the most popular items, and the rest--well, just go with what opinions "speak" to you! �

Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Josh Hamilton and Andrew Romine each drove in a run as the LA Angels of Anaheim took the rubber match of a three-game series with a 2-1 win over the Houston Astros.
Jerome Williams (8-10) earned his third consecutive win after yielding just one run on five hits over seven strong frames of work. Ernesto Frieri entered in the eighth inning and struck out four en route to recording a two- inning save.
"I probably threw three balls up in the zone, two by design, one by accident," Williams said. "That one by accident was a homer."
Astros starter Paul Clemens (4-5) took the loss despite pitching a career- high seven innings and allowing just two runs on six hits. Marc Krauss homered in the lone run as Houston dropped its second straight game after winning four in a row.
The Halos are winners in five of six.
"I'm happy with some of it and there was some pitch selection that has got to get better," Clemens said. "I don't know how much you guys were watching, but there were some at-bats there where pitch selection was wrong. This game comes down to two things: executing your pitches and choosing the right pitch in the right situation. I just want to continue to get better at those things."
Hamilton's triple gave the Angels a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning. With two outs, Mike Trout drew a walk and stole second before Hamilton drove an 0-2 Clemens' offering to deep center field.
Krauss' fourth homer of the season tied the score in the bottom of the second.
LA broke through with another run in the top of the fifth when Erick Aybar and Hank Conger slapped consecutive singles with no outs, putting runners on the corners for Romine. Romine lifted a sacrifice fly into left, plating Aybar, but Krauss gunned down Conger at first base for the double play.
Dane De La Rosa took the hill to begin the home half of the eighth and allowed a single to Brandon Barnes before walking Jonathan Villar to put two on with no outs. Frieri, who recorded a five-out save earlier in the series, took over and retired three straight to preserve the lead.
Frieri remained on the mound for the final inning and pitched around a leadoff single by Matt Dominguez to secure the series for LA.
Barnes had two hits for Houston while Conger went 2-for-3 for LA ... Trout
stole his 33rd bag of the season ... The Astros went 0-for-4 with runners in
scoring position and left seven on base ... Houston outhit LA, 7-6.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.
Pete Mackanin will remain interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies for the remainder of the season, the team announced Tuesday.
The Oklahoma City Thunder have reportedly retained restricted free agent forward Kyle Singler with a five-year contract extension.
The Detroit Red Wings signed veteran forward Brad Richards a one-year contract on Wednesday.

About Montana
History and background of Montana. The late Helse Dolsey once called Claude Montana the "Leader of Paris fashion," but that could be said of many Paris designers. Another name for him has been "King of Shoulder Pads" which is a more apt title, looking to the size of the shoulders of many of his designs. He has spent a good deal of his career designing men's clothes for women. Read more about Montana

Some 20 years ago my husband made me a present of this Montana perfume, I loved it at once, and from then on it became my favourite fragrance. But suddenly it disappeared from the market in my country, I also could not get it in other European countries, not even in France, though I tried hard to get it again. So I am absolutely happy to have found it in your extensive collection after so many years of looking for it. Thank you so much! To my mind it is the most perfect mixture of ingredients that you can wear at any occasion to make you happy and sure of yourself!

I stood in a quiet gallery of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art moving forward and back, forward and back, forward and back, mesmerized by the transformation of a mass of dots into the glistening waters of the River Seine in Paul Signac's clear and beautiful rendering of The Seine at Herblay. As the Pointillists discovered, a painter may well be able to reconstruct reality from flecks and dots of information, but it is in standing back from the details and allowing the points to merge into a glistening or flowing or striking overview that we can best feel and understand the world in which we live. As I have come to deeper levels of understanding my own nature, I have also sought to step back and to find a way to make who I am feel more connected to the larger world around me.
As the daughter and granddaughter of survivors of the Nazi Holocaust, the Shoah, I have always felt a deep connection to family and have held as my most precious desire the dream of continuing the family that was so nearly extinguished over fifty years ago. I grew up assuming that I would marry a nice Jewish man, have babies, and create a good home. I learned from family, from friends, and from the culture around me that being a wife and mother was the ultimate achievement to which I should aspire. Even when it became politically incorrect to admit so, I was always drawn to becoming a mother. Unlike so many of my contemporaries, my interest in establishing a career as the focal point to my life was never very strong. As the years went on, however, and I slowly

The Desert Years
1#Deut. 1:40"Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness of the Way of the Red Sea, #Num. 14:25as the Lord spoke to me, and we skirted Mount Seir for many days.
2"And the Lord spoke to me, saying: 3'You have skirted this mountain #Deut. 2:714long enough; turn northward. 4And command the people, saying, #Num. 20:14–21"You are about to pass through the territory of #Deut. 23:7your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully. 5Do not meddle with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as one footstep, #Gen. 36:8Josh. 24:4because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession. 6You shall buy food from them with money, that you may eat; and you shall also buy water from them with money, that you may drink.
7"For the Lord your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. #Deut. 8:2–4(Matt. 6:832)These forty years the Lord your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing." '
8"And when we passed beyond our brethren, the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir, away from the road of the plain, away from #Judg. 11:181 Kin. 9:26Elath and Ezion Geber, we #Num. 21:4turned and passed by way of the Wilderness of Moab. 9Then the Lord said to me, 'Do not harass Moab, nor contend with them in battle, for I will not give you any of their land as a possession, because I have given #Num. 21:1528Deut. 2:1829Ar to #Gen. 19:36–38the descendants of Lot as a possession.' "
10#Gen. 14:5(The Emim had dwelt there in times past, a people as great and numerous and tall as #Num. 13:2233Deut. 9:2the Anakim. 11They were also regarded as giants, like the Anakim, but the Moabites call them Emim. 12#Gen. 14:6Ge 36:20Deut. 2:22The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the descendants of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place, just as Israel did to the land of their possession which the Lord gave them.)
13" 'Now rise and cross over #Num. 21:12the Valley of the Zered.' So we crossed over the Valley of the Zered. 14And the time we took to come #Num. 13:26from Kadesh Barnea until we crossed over the Valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, #Num. 14:33Nu 26:64Deut. 1:3435until all the generation of the men of war was consumed from the midst of the camp, #Num. 14:35Ezek. 20:15just as the Lord had sworn to them. 15For indeed the hand of the Lord was against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they were consumed.
16"So it was, when all the men of war had finally perished from among the people, 17that the Lord spoke to me, saying: 18'This day you are to cross over at Ar, the boundary of Moab. 19And when you come near the people of Ammon, do not harass them or meddle with them, for I will not give you any of the land of the people of Ammon as a possession, because I have given it to #Gen. 19:38Num. 21:24the descendants of Lot as a possession.' "
20(That was also regarded as a land of giants; giants formerly dwelt there. But the Ammonites call them #Gen. 14:5Zamzummim, 21#Deut. 2:10a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But the Lord destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, 22just as He had done for the descendants of Esau, #Gen. 36:8Deut. 2:5who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed #Gen. 14:6Ge 36:20–30the Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day. 23And #Josh. 13:3the Avim, who dwelt in villages as far as Gaza—#Gen. 10:141 Chr. 1:12Jer. 47:4Amos 9:7the Caphtorim, who came from Caphtor, destroyed them and dwelt in their place.)
24" 'Rise, take your journey, and #Num. 21:1314Judg. 11:18cross over the River Arnon. Look, I have given into your hand #Deut. 1:4Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle. 25#Ex. 23:27Deut. 11:25Josh. 2:9This day I will begin to put the dread and fear of you upon the nations under the whole heaven, who shall hear the report of you, and shall #Ex. 15:14–16tremble and be in anguish because of you.'
King Sihon Defeated
26"And I #Num. 21:21–32Deut. 1:4Judg. 11:19–21sent messengers from the Wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, #Deut. 20:10with words of peace, saying, 27#Num. 21:2122Judg. 11:19'Let me pass through your land; I will keep strictly to the road, and I will turn neither to the right nor to the left. 28You shall sell me food for money, that I may eat, and give me water for money, that I may drink; #Num. 20:19only let me pass through on foot, 29#Num. 20:18Deut. 23:34Judg. 11:17just as the descendants of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which the Lord our God is giving us.'
30#Num. 21:23"But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through, for #Josh. 11:20the Lord your God #Ex. 4:21hardened his spirit and made his heart obstinate, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

It won't start. I don't get any lights inside and headlights don't turn on either. We have tried jumping it with no success. The only thing that did anything was we used the jumper cables and hooked it up to the frame and a positive lead box on the fire wall and that enabled us to get lights within the car. There are, what we believe to be some kind of relay box or possibly fusible links, on the right side of the engine compartment, and when we can get any sound when we try and turn it over, they make this strange buzzing sound.

by SOS Racing
Having taken the solo record for the fastest circumnavigation of Australia earlier this year, Ian Thomson, the founder of Save Our Seas Australia which seeks to eliminate plastic bags from society, is setting up to take on the crewed monohull record held by David Pescud's Sailors with disabilities program when they set a time of 37 days onboard the 53ft Kaz.
SOS Ocean Racing, the sailing arm of Save Our Seas Australia, is out to raise awareness of the damage plastic bags and plastics are doing to the environment. They use their world record attempts to raise the awareness and the effects are starting to show. Already South Australia has a ban on plastic bags. Tasmania, the Northern Territory and Western Australia are all pushing through legislation presently and the pressure is on the rest of the states and territories to respond.
Whilst Mr Thomson's focus is on Save Our Seas Australia, he has also set up branches in New Zealand, based out of the National Environment Center in Nelson as well as a branch in Florida. The aim is to create the awareness of the damage plastic bags and plastics are doing to our environment so people think about their use of these 'convenience' items and then put pressure on the governments. Mr Thomson also spends a great deal of time travelling around schools talking to students about the issue and encouraging them to change their habits at an early age.
On arriving back from his solo world record, Mr Thomson set about finding an appropriate boat for the crewed venture. At the top of the list as Australia's most famous ocean racing yacht, the almighty Brindabella. After several calls to new owner Jim Cooney, the director of TPI Group who manufacture wind farms around the world, a deal was struck and Brindabella is now gearing up for the attempt on the record. Mr Cooney will be joining Mr Thomson on the record attempt along with Brindabella's boat manager Justin Sutherland and crew boss Matthew Pearce.
Most world record sailing attempts for fully crewed vessels are taken on by fully paid professional crew however Mr Thomson decided to open up positions for the crew to any sailor around the world. After 123 applications were received, today they announced a short list of candidates still vying for spots as well as a core crew of 9 who are guaranteed to take part.
The core crew consists of:
Ian Thomson (QLD) who will act as sailing master.
Jim Cooney (NSW) who owns Brindabella and will act as one of three Watch Captains.
Justin 'Bluey' (NSW) Sutherland, who is current boat manager and will be the second watch captain.
Matthew Pearce (NSW) , who is current crew boss and will act as the final watch captain.
Sophie Cistek (VIC) will take on the role of bow.
Charles 'Chuck' Kosecki (QLD) will take on middle bow.
David Ward (WA) will take on a trimming role.
Wendy Tuck (NSW) will be in control of hydraulics and main traveller.
And a final core crew spot is TBA. This person will certainly make the team however needs to notify certain people before we can make an announcement.
The final 9 spots will be fought out between the following candidates
David Anderson – QLD and Fred Pezzimenti – VIC
Mark Christiansen – QLD and Kyle Rose – QLD
Tom Connal – NZ and Nash Stahmer – VIC
Pierre Devalux – Belgium and Daniel Taylor – WA
Colin Dymond – WA and Michael Tilden – NSW
Craig Greenhill – NSW and Geoff Tomlins – QLD
Grant Jones – NZ and Tim Wuth – QLD
Ryan Kaveney – NSW
Martin Kirkerterp – Denmark
Josh Leppard – QLD
Annie McComb – TAS
Luke Parkinson – WA
Damien Parnham – NSW
Julian Payne – NZ
The level of resumes received was of an extremely high standard and includes Olympic Gold Medalists, and people who have done over 10 Rolex Sydney Hobarts,
'We have the makings of an amazing team' Ian said today at the launch. 'The shortlist will now go into trials throughout January before we announce the final 18 on February 1st. We will then reconvene in Sydney on April 10th and sail the almighty Brindabella to Brisbane in time for the Brisbane to Gladstone Yacht Race at Easter. We then sail the boat back to Sydney and will depart in May 2011 to tackle the record. The hope is to go under 30 days.'
Also announced at today's launch was the official technical clothing brand. All crew gear will be provided by Gill Australia. Gill recently supported David le Rothchild's Plastiki campaign and when SOS Ocean Racing approached Gill Australia director Paul Shultz, he was only too pleased to be involved.

NEW ORLEANS -- The Chicago Bears had just what the New Orleans Saints needed -- one of the NFL's worst defenses.
Aaron Brooks threw two touchdown passes to lead the Saints to a 20-13 victory over the Bears on Sunday.
Brooks connected with Joe Horn on a 6-yard scoring pass with 7:18 left for the clinching score as the Saints won for the second time in six games. The Bears fell to 1-4.
The game was far from a gem, but Brooks said "the most important thing is we came out of here with a win."
After playing the league's toughest schedule in the first five games -- against opponents who combined for a 17-5 record -- New Orleans didn't look great in managing just 283 total yards. But it was enough to turn back the Bears.
"We know what to do, but we're not doing it," Horn said. "We're dropping the ball, making mistakes. It hurts us."
Deuce McAllister did the bulk of the work for the Saints with 116 yards on 29 carries, while Brooks was 14-of-29 for 153 yards.
"It's just one win," McAllister said. "But at least it's a win. Now we have to try to get a couple more."
The Bears, ranked 28th on defense and 32nd and last on offense, scored their only touchdown -- a 4-yard pass from Kordell Stewart to Dez White with 2:10 left in the game.
"I didn't play up to my standards, and we lost plain and simple," Stewart said. "When you have an opportunity, you have to seize it."
Before that touchdown, Chicago had two field goals from Paul Edinger -- a 28-yarder in the second quarter and a 31-yarder in the fourth.
"We're obviously not where we want to be," Bears coach Dick Jauron said. "Our margin of error is so small."
Stewart, who had three fumbles and was sacked three times, was 10-of-21 for 152 yards. Anthony Thomas, coming off back-to-back 100-yard outings, had 96 yards on 21 carries.
New Orleans went up 13-3 on the opening series of the second half. Stewart was sacked and fumbled, giving the Saints the ball on the Chicago 12. After two runs by McAllister, Brooks found Ernie Conwell for a 9-yard touchdown to make it 13-3.
The Saints' frustration early in the game continued. For a change, they moved the ball, but only close enough to set up a 38-yard field goal attempt by John Carney, which went wide left. On New Orleans' second possession, Carney hit a 50-yarder to put the Saints up 3-0 with 7:53 left in the first quarter.
The Bears tied it on a 28-yard field goal with 7:40 left in the half.
New Orleans took a 6-3 lead into the halftime break. It looked as if they would end the first half tied, but a penalty on Chicago gave them just time enough for Carney to hit a 30-yard field goal.
- It was the Saints' 25th consecutive sellout in the Louisiana Superdome.
- It was the third consecutive game in which the Saints' opponent started a Louisiana-born quarterback: Colts' Peyton Manning, Panthers' Jake Delhomme, Bears' Kordell Stewart.
- Third-year New Orleans RB Deuce McAllister, who had just 16 carries in his rookie season, had his 11th career 100-yard rushing game and his third of this season.
- Saints C Jerry Fontenot started his 90th consecutive game since signing in 1997 as a free agent from Chicago, where he started 89 consecutive games.
- Chicago DE Phillip Daniels and New Orleans DE Charles Grant are cousins.

HP iPAQ K3 Obsidian for AT&T will feature a 2.46-inch touch-sensitive display that would be utilizing the AMOLED technology, which is known for providing a brilliant image quality. Well, back in May, when we first heard of the iPAQ K3, the leaked specs sheet listed a 2.8-inch screen, which is way better than the 2.46-inch possibility, but that full QWERTY keyboard on the front sure takes a lot of space… However, nothing is official yet, so we can't be sure about any of these.According to some fresh unofficial information, the still unannounced
Other details about the hardware of the K3 make up for a pretty mainstream Windows Mobile smartphone. Actually, as confirmed by the images, the handset would be running on WM6.5, powered by a 528MHz processor, 256 MB of RAM and 512 MB of ROM. A 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3.5mm jack and а microSD slot for additional memory are also said to be on board.
The HP iPAQ K3 is indeed AT&T-branded on the images, so we presume there's a chance the November 30 launch date we know of would actually turn out real. And what do you think, AT&T customers? Would the iPAQ K3 be a nice addition to the carrier's catalogue?

From my knowledge, HP was known for their smartphones. I mean, who better to make a smartphone than a computer manufacturer? It looks like a great smartphone to the AT&T catalog.

WALLA WALLA -- Budget cuts, layoffs, an aviary closure, cuts in library hours, even the far reaching tentacles of city hall versus the purple tentacles of a toy store: These are all issues that have candidates running for office in double digits, which hasn't been seen for quite some time when it comes to the Walla Walla City Council.
At one point, 11 candidates had filed for four positions.
The recent withdrawal of Jack Kammer reduced the number to 10.
Of those 10, six are facing off in the August primary.
When it's over, two more candidates will have lost their chance to have their names appear on the November ballot.
Here is a look at what those six candidates consider the main issues they will face, should they win the election in November, along with a few directed comments over money, birds and an octopus.Alfred Diaz can be reached at email@example.com or 526-8325.

Souqalmal.com explores how the central bank's mortgage caps will affect the market and individual buyers.
November 11, 2013 9:44 by kippreport
Last week the UAE Central Bank announced new guidelines for home loans. The move, which has been anticipated all year, will see expat buyers limited to borrowing 75 per cent of a property's value for a first investment of under AED5 million and UAE nationals limited to 80 per cent.
For homes worth more than AED5m, there is an even more significant change. Expats will only be able to borrow 60 per cent of the property's value and Emiratis 65 per cent.
The cap regulations do not stop there. For second and subsequent home purchases, lending for expats will be limited to 60 per cent and for UAE nationals the loan-to-value ratio is 65 per cent.
Finally, when it comes to off-plan properties, all buyers – regardless of nationality – will only be able to borrow 50 per cent of a property's value.
The other significant announcement is that loan lengths will be limited to 25 years and age will be a restrictive factor too. Expat borrowers must be no older than 65 years at the time of the last repayment, while UAE nationals must not be older than 70 years.
The new regulations, announced last week, did not come as a surprise. The cap was first discussed at the end of last year with a central bank proposal to limit loans to expats by 50 per cent and Emiratis by 70 per cent. This information was not favourable to the banking industry and investors, prompting the central bank to reconsider.
This second set of requirements is expected to come into force in the next month, a move that will have a significant impact on the mortgage and property markets.
So what does this mean?
Firstly, for the banking industry, it sends clear signals that lending will be more regulated to prevent the same mistakes made in the past.
Back in the boom period of 2008 to 2009, when house prices hit their peak – banks were lending freely, with some 90 per cent mortgages available. It allowed buyers with limited capital to invest in numerous properties and flip them soon after purchase in order to make quick profits – driving up prices at an alarming rate.
Under the new guidelines, banks will have to be much more careful about whom they lend to and the central bank has made it clear that repayments on home finance cannot make up more than 50 per cent of a person's monthly income. They must also limit lending time to no more than seven years of a customer's income for expats and eight years for Emiratis.
All these are good moves, because it will help prevent lenders from issuing bad loans to borrowers who don't have a hope of meeting the repayment requirements. It will also make the mortgage market more competitive, encouraging banks to offer better deals, in turn encouraging investors to shop around for the best home loan, comparing all the mortgage options available.
There will also be consequences for the property market. There could be a property price slowdown, as investors are prevented from buying, because they need to raise more cash to put down a deposit on the home of their choice. That being said, a full-scale slowdown is unlikely considering that based on statistics, 80 per cent of the property transactions are made in cash, which means regulations will really only affect 20 per cent of the transactions in the UAE. With lending so limited for off-plan properties, it will deter the casual flipper looking for a fast return by leveraging their purchase without the need of a big amount of capital. While it may be harder to get on the property ladder, the UAE's housing market could become more stable and, in the long-term, a safer bet.
Fears that the nation's property market is about to experience another bubble may finally be put to rest. The new rules should be considered a safety measure that, ultimately, will protect banks and property buyers from the recent property boom, particularly in Dubai. Prices have risen by 20 per cent in this year alone and nobody wants to return to the dark days of the downturn.

Obiang's son offers Equatorial Guinea's national team a bonus of $6,7m if they beat Spain in friendly
November 12, 2013
Obiang Who?
Amidst the worst economic and social crisis Spain can remember, there is an iconic institution living its most glorious days. The Spanish national football team, commonly remembered in the past for sour losses and unforgettable mistakes, has taken world football by storm after winning a World Cup and two European Championships in the last five years. This indisputable success of a golden generation of players has raised the team to such heights of praise and public importance that any criticism is rare.

Of Football Underdogs and Politricks
The knockout phase of the Cup of Nations started this weekend and by next Sunday we'll have a new champion. Events in Port Said, along with the Zimbabwean match-fixing scandal have made it a dreadful week for African football–but there has not been any question of postponing the remaining fixtures. The quarter-final line-up is without the tournament's biggest losers, Senegal. Morocco and Angola also miss out. Earlier today red-hot Zambia played Sudan (in the end, Sudan came up short) and hosts Equatorial Guinea take on favorites Côte d'Ivoire as I am writing. The two major surprise quarterfinalists are Equatorial Guinea and Sudan, but they have very different back-stories.

- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Another Look at the Deterrent Effect of Death Penalty
Jongmook Choe
University of Texas at Austin - Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs; Department of Public Administration, Korea University
March 4, 2009
There is a question whether the execution rate is appropriate to examine the deterrent effect of death penalty. Instead of using execution rate, this paper uses dummy variables to categorize states into different groups and to compare the group mean homicide rates. With U.S. state-level panel data for the period 1995 - 2006, this paper fails to find a significant homicide-reducing effect of death penalty.

text: I guess no one does this. I think I did once. While loading some exposed film onto the developing tank reels, the red heater lamp on my Jobo came on, and I realized then that I'd forgotten to cover it. I had some shots on that reel that should have had some deep blue shadows (Velvia in shade), but the shots came out rather nicely. I never went back to test my impromptu heater-lamp-post-exposure-burner, but I haven't been worrying about covering that lamp anymore.
