In The Lost and Damned there are two safehouses that are accessible to you. One is the Lost MC Clubhouse, which is much larger than a regular safehouse and the other is Brian Jeremy's Safehouse, which you obtain after the mission Bad Standing. If you don't have place enough you can still use the parking area's from GTA IV.
The Lost MC Clubhouse is a large scale safehouse with Hi-Lo cards, an Arm Wrestling table, a Pool table, and a QUB3D arcade machine. Your sleeping quarters are in a storage room straight forward when you enter the front entrance. When you finish a certain amount of Gang Wars, there will be weapons in the Television and Computer room as a reward. Despite the fact that there is a very large parking space in front of the clubhouse, it actually can only save two vehicles. After the last mission, Get Lost, Johnny Klebitz, Terry Thorpe, Clay Simons, and Angus Martin return to the clubhouse, only to find it trashed by Ray Boccinno's goons. The four make the decision to burn down the clubhouse, because of all the bad things that it stands for (namely, all the deceased brothers and in-fighting in The Lost). After this mission, the safehouse is inaccessible. (It can be re-entered through a glitch.)
Brian Jeremy's Safehouse is awarded to Johnny after "Bad Standing" when Johnny seizes control of the building from Brian.

Roller Brush for XL Platinum and XL21

Replacement roller brush for Oreck XL Platinum and XL21 Upright Vacuum Cleaners.
Accessories & Supplies
Type Accessories
Roller Brush for XL Platinum and XL21 3 3
love the vacum, its like and easy to use love the vacum. I've had my oreck since 94 and replacing the roller was the first problem I had ,other than replaceing the belts. It's light weight and easy to carry up and down the stairs. It's so easy to use because it like it is self propaled February 14, 2012
oreck platinum Xl Pilot I have a Oreck platinum xl. How disappointing to pay so much for a vacuum and it gives such poor service. It will not pick up hair. You can only vacuum about half of room then you have to clean the hair from the roller . I waited a long time to be able to afford this product and now I will have to go back to a cheap vacuum cleaner. October 4, 2014
Very expensive parts to replace often Very disappointed with this product. The vacuum works great, but we have to replace the roller-brush every year as hair gets melted into the bearings (even though I clean out the brush every week!) I would think it would be more durable and manufactured better given the high price of a "consumable" part. The cost of replacing the brush every year or even every other year, make it a very expensive vacuum and not worth the high initial cost or maintenance tag. December 7, 2015

Where We Are Now: Carbon Dioxide and the Hottest Years on Record
Temperature variation. This graph from the 1999 publication of Mann et al. shows deviations of annual average temperatures (in Celsius) in the Northern Hemisphere from the long-term trends after smoothing raw data by a standard mathematical procedure.
Disagreements still remain about the extent to which the recent warming in global temperatures deviates from normal climatic cycles. Direct measurements of temperature have been available from weather stations around the world only since 1861. To reconstruct temperature patterns before 1861 requires the use of proxy measures, measurements such as the width of tree rings that are strongly correlated with temperature and can be dated with accuracy.
In 1999, Michael Mann of Pennsylvania State University and his coworkers reconstructed the mean annual temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere over the last 1,000 years from a variety of direct measurements and proxy measures. [1] The resulting graph became affectionately known as the "hockey stick" because the "shaft" (representing temperatures from 1000 to 1900 AD) was relatively straight, whereas the "blade" (representing temperatures during the current century) was abruptly bent upward about 0.6°C (1.1°F). Mann and his colleagues proposed, as had Callendar and Landsberg many decades earlier, that emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels were responsible for the dramatic warming trend. [2]
By 2002, the political climate of the United States had changed, and fossil-fuel companies assumed a larger role in governmental policies on energy. ExxonMobil, the largest supplier of fossil fuels, distributed over $8 million from 2000 through 2003 to organizations promoting the message that the scientific evidence linking global warming and fossil-fuel burning was unsound. [3], [4] The "hockey stick" data became even more contentious, and the U.S. Congress requested that the National Academy of Sciences, a body of prestigious scientists, verify Mann's research.
Eight years after Mann and his coworkers published their 10-page article, the committee appointed by the National Academy released a 196-page report. [5] This report upheld the major premise of the hockey stick: Global temperatures have warmed more than 0.6°C during the last century, and such changes are without precedent during the preceding 4 centuries and probably much longer. In particular, the year 2006 was the hottest on record, followed in descending order by 2005, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2001, and 2004. All indications are that this warming trend will continue and perhaps even accelerate.
About 130 stations around the world now monitor atmospheric CO2 concentrations and have affirmed the trends first reported in Keeling's data from the South Pole and Mauna Loa. Atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have increased worldwide. Concentrations are lower in the summer, when plants incorporate CO2 into their organic carbon compounds via photosynthesis, and higher in the winter, when biological respiration exceeds photosynthesis and releases CO2 from organic carbon compounds. Seasonal variation is greater in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere because the Northern Hemisphere has substantially more land mass and thus more terrestrial organisms that conduct rapid photosynthesis and respiration.
Global temperatures and atmospheric CO2 concentrations have changed in conjunction with one another (i.e., show a positive correlation) both in the current century and during the last 650,000 years. Admittedly, correlation does not imply causality, but most in the scientific community agree that global temperatures are rising and that human-generated emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are contributing to this rise. Alternative explanations for the current temperature trends conflict with a growing body of evidence. Even organizations with strong vested interests in fossil fuels have modified their message.
For instance, in 2005, ExxonMobil's "Corporate Citizenship Report" acknowledged that "the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere poses risks that may prove significant for society and ecosystems. We believe that these risks justify actions now, but the selection of actions must consider the uncertainties that remain". [6] The report presents ExxonMobil's view of the uncertainties regarding the causes of global warming but then touts the $200 million that ExxonMobil had just bequeathed to the Global Climate and Energy Project at Stanford University in California as "the largest-ever privately funded research effort in low-greenhouse-gas energy."
Other fossil-fuel companies have taken similar approaches. In 2006, BP (formerly British Petroleum) and Chevron announced plans to allocate $500 million and $400 million, respectively, for research on biofuels. The web sites of all these companies feature their efforts in developing energy resources while minimizing environmental degradation.

Gov. Pat McCrory has signed an executive order waiving the usual vehicle size restrictions for utility trucks traveling through North Carolina to help with efforts to restore power in the wake of the Mid-Atlantic winter storm.
A statement from McCrory's office said utility companies from as far away as Georgia and Alabama have already been dispatched to help restore power to areas impacted by the storm.
McCrory said the state is glad to do whatever it can to help utility workers in their efforts to aid in recovery from the storm.
A storm system that originated in Montana was expected to reach Washington, D.C., Tuesday night. As the storm pushed toward the Mid-Atlantic region, people there were gathering supplies and airlines were canceling flights.

Ilala Municipal Council in Dar es Salaam has given Tusiime Primary School a special award after all its pupils, who completed Standard Seven last year, passed their national examinations and selected to advance to the secondary level.
All 39 the pupils passed their national primary school examinations and selected to joined different secondary schools in the country.
The award was handed over recently to the school headmaster, Thomas Samson, by Dar es Salaam regional administrative secretary Ellyn Mcha to recognise the school's efforts in improving and promoting education sector.
Dar es Salaam regional education officer Benard Makali said the School deserved the special award for its achievements in making sure that all its pupils pass their examinations and advance to the secondary level.
He said the school had remained to be amongst the best performing institutions in the region after maintaining the number one position in two consecutive years.
"Tusiime has showed us an example that they are serious in making sure that education is improved in the country and sustained continuously by ranking the first position in the regional rankings in two consecutive years…they deserve the award because all its pupils managed to pass their exams and continue with secondary education. This is a great achievement," he said.
Speaking after receiving the award, Tusiime head teacher Thomas Samson said that 19 pupils were selected to join special talent schools.
Samson mentioned some of the special talented schools that his pupils achieved to join, as Ilboru, Kibaha, Tabora Boys, Mzumbe, Ifunda and Iyunga Vocational.
"The secret behind our success is the school's good management and cooperation with teachers…this also goes to parents for their efforts in fulfilling their responsibilities," he said.

Deputies in Beaufort County said they arrested 22-year-old Austin Taylor earlier this month for thefts from August of this year.
Deputies said Taylor stole a John Deere brand gator, hay baler, and other pieces of farm equipment- all of which turned up later at a local recycling plant. Deputies said they traced the thefts back to Taylor, who they said stole the items from a farm on Well Road in Chocowinity.
Investigators said the equipment was returned to the original owner. Taylor is now facing three felony counts of larceny among other misdemeanor theft-related charges. His bond was set at $5,000.

Dontcha just love it when all the Republicans pile on Mitt Romney over his "gifts" gaffe?
Wait, y'know, I'm sick of this "gaffe" thing. That wasn't a gaffe, any more than the 47-percent-of-us-are-moochers thing was a gaffe. A gaffe is when you say something utterly stupid that just didn't come out right. What Mitt Romney said came out just the way he wanted to — and just the way a whole damn bunch of conservatives wanted it to.
So when Bobby Jindal says Mitt's comments were "absolutely wrong" or when Newt Gingrich says they were "insulting and profoundly wrong" or any number of other GOP notables spouting similar sentiments, they are lying. Just plain lying.
If they weren't lying, they'd be saying the same thing about Rush Limbaugh ("People are not going to vote against Santa Claus, especially if the alternative is being your own Santa Claus"), Bill O'Reilly (Romney was "right on the money"), Eric Bolling ("people voted to continue to get free stuff") and the rest of the conservative media elite. But they're not. Listen. Crickets. That's all there is. Just crickets. But it's good to pile on the guy who just got his ass whupped by the black guy.
What's "wrong" isn't what Mitt said, but that he said it at all. This batch of Republicans has spent billions selling the ignorant masses on the complete and utter bullshit that they and only they will make sure they get to the top of the heap, leapfrogging over all those heathens who just want a handout.
But those rich assholes running things know full well that the ignorant masses they convince to buy their putrid snake oil are really the ones who get the most handouts. Oh, they'll say they don't, but that's because they don't count things like student loans or small business loans or mortgage tax credits or, god forbid, Medicare. Handouts only go to the lazy, good-for-nothing poor who won't do anything to help themselves.
Seriously, people believe this crap. Interestingly, of course, it's those "red states" that eat up the most federal money. The five or six states with secession petitions got 23 percent of all federal money last year. Amazing, eh?
I won't even point out … oh, yes I will. The folks who believe the bull are by and large the ignorant white masses, and folks who are the targets of the bull are everybody else. It's not just about race, of course. It's also about religion and creed and national origin and sexual orientation and education and whether you listen exclusively to Fox News and the radio repugnants or actually get your information from a variety of sources.
Just so you know, here's what Mitt told donors after the election:
What the president's campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government, and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote, and that strategy worked.
Um, I kinda thought that was the strategy for most elections … promise folks shit and then get them out to vote. But this thing about "extraordinary financial gifts from the government" …
Yeah, the only moochers I know are the rich folk who don't want to pay their share of taxes and go to extraordinary lengths to avoid it, who lie through their teeth telling us how they are the job creators when the truth is they sock all that cash into off shore bank accounts and cut employees' salaries when they think they might have to treat them like actual human beings. Those guys are the moochers. As Andy Serwer put it:
Political parties reward their constituencies, and Romney would have pursued goodies for GOP backers had he been elected. Financial institutions would have been very happy with a Romney administration that repealed Dodd-Frank, military contractors would have been delighted with Romney's plan to raise military spending to astronomical levels, and Romney's wealthy donors would have been delighted with his tax cuts for high earners. These are all "extraordinary financial gifts," and unlike student loans or health care coverage, they do nothing to help ensure that being born into a family of modest financial means doesn't prevent a person from succeeding. Help with student loan debt doesn't mean you didn't have to work hard to get good grades. A better example of an unearned "gift" is being born the son of a wealthy, famous politician so that you'll never have to worry about student loan debt.
Yeah, these folks get rich off everybody else's backs, and we're too damn scared to point out that they are the cultural and political descendants of the robber barons and the plantation owners from the 19th and 20th Centuries.
And by we I mean my colleagues in the "mainstream media," really just the Washington press since media long ago forgot that anything outside the beltway actually exists.
If that weren't true, we'd all know what these Republicans know: that they prey on gullible people who want desperately to believe that some day they, too, can be rich and powerful, and that for the vast — and I do mean vast — majority, it'll never happen.
But here's the real kicker. We don't have to be rich and powerful to be happy, or even comfortable. There's more to life than amassing material wealth, and life is much more satisfying when we work to bring us all closer together rather than push us further apart with unrealistic fantasies.
Too many of us have forgotten that the American Dream was never about bank accounts.Wrong

Travis Rice
After a week and a half cooped up inside, the weather finally cleared up and Reser Stadium was again buzzing with action. Former Beavers Keaton Kristick, Lyle Moevao, Howard Croom, Brandon Powers, Pernnell Booth, and Ben Terry were on hand to watch. Also, ESPN Blogger Ted Miller made the trip to Corvallis to get a look at the Beavers. Also, Sean Mannion was on hand to take a look at the Beaver offense. Coach Riley spoke briefly with Mannion towards the start of practice and the remainder, he played spectator from a close proximity. Mannion certainly looks the part and is all of his 6-4. Individual drills went as usual and as skelly drills got under way, it was evident that Cody Vaz was in the zone. The redshirt freshman delivered the ball on time and on target time after time. Aaron Nichols was the beneficiary of the extremely accurate Vaz passes. Ryan Katz continued to show off the cannon, at one point hitting tight end John Reese in the ahem stomach, dropping him to the turf, he did hang on however. While Katz and Vaz thrived on the overcast Wednesday afternoon, Peter Lalich struggled at times and was picked off a few times. Reasons for the picks were late decisions, which allowed the defender to make up ground and step in front of the pass. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

- "Patrick" redirects here. For other characters with the same name, see Patrick III or Patrick Ligner.
- "That was a whole lot of effort for no fucking reward. Story of my life."
- ―Packie McReary
Patrick "Packie" McReary (Irish: Pádraig Mac Ruairí) is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character and a friend in Grand Theft Auto IV, made a cameo in The Lost and Damned, a supporting character in The Ballad of Gay Tony and as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto V. Packie is a member of the McReary crime family and the youngest brother of the McReary clan itself.
Packie reappears in Grand Theft Auto V in random encounter, and, based on its outcome, he can become an optional accomplice for heist missions.
Childhood and personality
Packie was born to Maureen McReary. His siblings consisted of brothers Derrick, Francis, and Gerald, with Kate being born two years later. Born and raised in Dukes, he has never been outside Liberty City, except for Alderney State. Packie's father was a violent, perverted alcoholic whom Packie blames for their Mob's fall from influence. He says of his father, "I used to think I loved him, but then I realized I hated him". He eventually admits to Niko that his father molested him and Gerry. He is also the only McReary that enjoys Rap and Hip-Hop. He has been using drugs since he was 14, staying home from school to roll joints for his dad. He has an addictive personality (not quite as bad as Derrick, but a rising issue), as seen in his predilection for alcohol and cocaine. He began a life of crime very early, having chosen Gerry as a role model, and was arrested for stealing a car when he was 18. In 2000, when he was about 21, his father died - possibly a suicide, or by Gerry. Packie, on the surface, portrays himself as strong and without feeling. But when drunk or otherwise confiding in Niko, he is shown time and time again to be suppressing deeply painful emotions. For example, he will lament that "the world is ugly and unkind", question what being a man is all about, and contemplates suicide. He doesn't seem to seriously consider immediately and directly killing himself, but does glamorize the idea that he will die young of a drug overdose. Compared to Niko, Packie is equally capable of violence and criminal activity, and feels less guilt. He does, however, still hold certain moral standards; if you kill too many hostages during the mission Three Leaf Clover, the mission will fail and Packie would say that he doesn't take this bloody money.
During GTA IV
By the time of GTA IV, Packie largely operates independently of the Irish Mob, committing stick-up robberies with his friends Michael and Gordon, and working as a hired gun for the Pegorino Family.
Packie was introduced to Niko Bellic through cocaine dealer Elizabeta Torres. Packie and Niko quickly became friends after escaping from a botched cocaine deal together. Impressed, Packie called up Niko and introduced him to his family and his gang. They all participated in robbing other criminal gangs (first robbing the Algonquin Triads and then the Ancelotti Family), and eventually did a bank robbery on the Bank of Liberty in Algonquin.
After the bank job, Packie continued working with and befriending Niko, particularly in the kidnapping of Gracie Ancelotti for Gerry. Unbeknownst to Packie, Niko murdered one of his brothers. Nonetheless, Niko's assistance in suppressing an attack on the funeral cemented their friendship. Packie trusted Niko enough to encourage him to date Kate, the youngest of the McReary clan (confident that Kate would not "put out", in any case).
- "Hey, the name's Packie McReary of Dukes, Liberty City."
- ―Packie McReary
Packie reappears again in Grand Theft Auto V. He is placed on the FIB's Most Wanted Criminals List and Michael attempts to save him from the FIB, only to have Packie work for him. Packie also appears early in the game robbing a drug store in Strawberry with an unknown friend. In the heist you can help him by acquiring a car and escaping the cops. After the event, Packie will become a crew member for heist. As a crew member, Packie is fairly competent, having some of the highest basic stats, but he also takes a relatively large cut for his work.
Grand Theft Auto IV and its Episodes
Packie is slightly shorter and slender than Niko. Patrick has a long scar under his left eye; seen how he likes to fight while drunk, having scars is only reasonable. His nose is rather large and slightly crooked, it's possible that it was broken. Patrick wears a white long sleeved undershirt, green polo shirt, blue jeans and sneakers that look very similar to the ones in Russian Shop. He has green eyes that have a grayish tint and hair is a in buzzcut. His skin has several red spots and dents, probably caused by cocaine.
Grand Theft Auto V
Packie is seen again, but looks a bit different than in Grand Theft Auto IV. He is seen with scars, and has a stubble. He looks older, now that he's 34. His mole on the top right corner of his lip is more visble. He also got wrinkles around his eyes over the time. His eye color also have a more light brown color. He wears different outfits during heists.
At some point after completion of the mission Three Leaf Clover Packie calls you to do a friend activity with him; after that you will become friends with him.
Packie is the fourth of five friends you will make within the game, and is available between 4 PM and 6 AM.
Packie is available for six different activities. They are: Bowling, Darts, Drinking, Pool, Show, and Strip Club.
When you get above 75% in Packie's Like Stat then you will gain his Special Ability, which is being able to call him to prepare a car bomb, which can be used to take down difficult targets. This ability can be useful in certain situations and missions and it may be worth your time to become good friends with Packie.
When you need a Bomb then select Packie in your Phonebook then Bomb. Then he will tell you where he left the Bomb. Get the Bomb and then press E (PC), LB (Xbox 360) or L1 (PS3) when behind a vehicle to rig it. Then call Packie and choose detonate to explode the Bomb.
He likes it when Niko drives fast. He says things like "If you have somewhere to be then you may as go at pace." and "This is the way to do it, Niko."

LCPD Database information
Surname: McReary
First Name: Patrick "Packie"
Age: 29
Place of Birth: Dukes, Liberty City
Affiliations: Linked to Irish American Criminals in Dukes and the Alderney based Pegorino Crime Syndicate.
Criminal Record:
- 1997 - Grand Theft Auto
- 1998 - Grand Larceny
- 2000 - Hijacking
- 2005 - Possession Controlled Substance: Cocaine
- Youngest brother and employee of Gerald McReary.
- Suspected in a number of robberies and hijackings.
- Arrested with several grams of cocaine in the presence of a known prostitute.
- Believed to be working as muscle for the Alderney-based Pegorino Crime Syndicate.
- He has a resemblance to Brian Meech.
- Packie is one of two McRearys that appear in more than one game, the other being Derrick.
- According to his brother Gerald McReary, Packie has a tattoo of his own name on one of his arms.
- If the player positions the camera in such a way that you can see inside Packie's head, you will see a small cube with a picture of a brain on it, which is Packie's balaclava texture from the bank robbery.
- Following the bank robbery, Packie purchases a bright red Comet, which is revealed when Luis and Tony Prince are following him around in a Helicopter in the mission Ladies' Night in TBoGT.
- Like most other characters, Packie will don a unique helmet when with the player on a motorcycle. His is a dark green helmet, referencing his Irish heritage.
- Though, he is seen riding a PCJ-600 in his character trailer, Packie appears to dislike motorcycles, claiming that they are death traps and telling Niko that he "better know how to drive it" when picking him up for a friend activity.
- Packie sings Danny Boy during one of the drinking outings with Niko.
- Packie, along with Niko Bellic can be fought and killed in The Ballad of Gay Tony mission Ladies Half Price. Packie and Niko have a colossal amount of health, and their deaths do not affect the story.
- Packie's favorite radio station is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8 and he will respond positively if it's turned on in the car, claiming he wants it to play at his funeral. Packie also likes The Beat 102.7
- He dislikes playing darts, complaining that it's boring, despite darts being a traditional Irish game and Packie being proud of his Irish roots, as he states himself. However, he only voices his disliking if the player beats him.
- "Packie" is a racist term for a Pakistani, it is widely used in the UK, where Rockstar North is based, and near Ireland, where Patrick is from.
- Sometimes, when Niko calls him to hang out with him, he may be near the Alderney State Correctional Facility, implying that he was visiting his brother Gerry.
- The player will recieve the trophy/achievement "Dial "B" for Bomb" after gaining Packie's friendship bonus.
- Packie is shown to be very protective of his sister, Kate, much like Niko being protective of Roman. This can be seen as he warns Niko not to get too close to his sister.
- Packie hates losing to Niko during friendship activities, as dialogue suggests.
- He will sometimes refer to Niko as "boyo", which traditionally refers to someone younger than oneself, despite Niko being a year older than Packie.
- The in-car LCPD database lists him as being wanted for Armed Robbery. This is likely due to the events of Three Leaf Clover.
- Out of all the McReary siblings, Packie has the least green eyes. His eyes appear as dark green with a grayish tint, while Gerald has very distinctive emerald green eyes, Derrick has the same as Packie but brighter and Katie has lime green eyes.
- His artwork shows him fighting from a stance called "southpaw", which is largely used by left-handed people. Still Packie is right-handed during gameplay.
- Packie is addicted to cocaine, which burdens him with numerous problems. He claims that he can't look for women without cocaine in his system and when he's with women, he spends his time in the bathroom snorting rails of coke, which lowers his sex drive (he calls this a "catch 22"). Kate claims that Packie has uncontrollable behavior when he's with her in public and will attack anyone who he thinks is looking at her wrong. This is likely due to his cocaine addiction as well. Packie also has an uncanny sleeping schedule, waking up at 4:00 in the afternoon and staying up all night doing coke. Due to this, Packie is inactive in the morning.
- As is the case with all other crew members, Packie can be killed during a heist and his cut can be stolen.

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Gov. Paul LePage has signed an emergency measure to temporarily keep confidential the names of Maine residents with permits to carry concealed guns.
The governor signed the measure soon after final House and Senate votes Tuesday. The bill was submitted by LePage, a Republican, and sponsored by Democratic Senate Assistant Majority Leader Troy Jackson of Allagash and Democratic House Assistant Majority Leader Jeff McCabe of Skowhegan.
It comes up days after a Bangor newspaper issued a request for the names last week. The Bangor Daily News later dropped its request.
The emergency measure would only last until April 30, allowing lawmakers more time to consider releases of permit data in more depth.
Lawmakers said their action shows they can work in a bipartisan fashion.

How To Apply
After meeting with school administration, information packets are delivered to the participating schools by our Dual Enrollment Liaisons. The Liaisons often meet with the student groups to discuss the process, and the Guidance Counselors typically distribute the information to the interested students as they are going through the registration process for high school classes. The students must then return the following information and documents to the Guidance Counselor in order to complete the application file:
- Completed and signed Application for Admission to Volunteer State Community College with a one-time, non-refundable $20 application fee
- Dual Enrollment Participation Form (requires parent signature)
- Signed Hepatitis B Form (requires parent signature)
- TN Lottery Grant Form completed ONLINE
- Official Copy of High School Transcript
- Official Copy of ACT scores
After all the required documents have been received, the Liaisons will collect the information from the high schools and deliver it to Vol State's main campus. Staff in the Office of Off-Campus Sites will process the students' paperwork and coordinate with the Offices of Admissions and Records in order to admit the students to the college and register the students for the specified classes.
Once students have been registered for classes, the Financial Aid Office will then certify the Dual Enrollment Lottery Grant and apply that amount to the students' accounts. Fee Discounts will also be applied for those eligible students who submitted the appropriate paperwork.
The remaining balance can then be paid through the Business Office. Payments can be accepted in person, by phone (debit card or credit card), or online (debit card, credit card or electronic check). Payments must be made no later than the first week of class. To be officially registered for a class, all steps must be completed, including payment.

This nightclub is just the sort of chic place to lose yourself for an evening The first level is dark and sexy, with dim candle lighting, elaborate chandeliers and a long bar lined up with slim, white barstools. It gets packed in here, especially in front of the stage where live Thai bands often play. On the second level, is Roof by Muse which is a lot more intimate and laidback. Muse is also next door to two other nightclubs, Funky Villa and Demo but Muse is the only one that features live music.
Best club in BKK. Ground floor is a hardcore party club but the roof has mellow acoustic music and great food. 2 clubs in 1 and they are both great

I somewhat agree. I often describe Twiter like a party. Hashtag = Address
Moderators = Host
Then you have the different typical party goers. Everything from "wallflowers" to the "life of the party".
However I also use it as a tool. If I were to assign it a tool, I might call twitter a flashlight. It helps me see more clearly what I want to do as an educator. I also use a flashlight when I'm looking for something. I go to twitter often when I can't find a resource on my own.
So while I see your point and I prefer to think of social media as a place, I also see it as a tool.
Thanks for the thought provoking post.Replies
Thanks for adding a little nuance and perspective here. Maybe it is a tool. Maybe it can be a flashlight for finding things.Delete
I had similar thoughts about Twitter earlier this year with this post:ReplyDelete
I often see Twitter as a cocktail party. Lots of people having quick exchanges amidst a lot of noise. But through time, relationships are formed and real learning happens.
It's good to step away from it from time to time. You get away from the noise and get a chance to really focus on your own thoughts.
Thanks for the post John, and thanks Brett for the previous comment.Replies
Thanks for the link, Curt. I like the cocktail party metaphor.Delete
I don't know if Twitter is a tool, a place, or a medium of learning. . .but what I do know is that I did notice that you haven't been around. . .and you were missed. . .that is what Twitter is for me. I come to depend on the relationships/network that I have here. . .something about its informality that allows many of us to just be ourselves without pretense. . .and reconnect easily after time away. . .Replies
Thanks, Jeffery. I think you nailed it that it's a place to reconnect and find our place.Delete
great comments for someone new to the twitter world. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
great comments for someone new to the twitter world. thanks for sharing.ReplyDelete
It has been interesting catching reflections of many others lately regarding their social media use and its role in education, etc. I started to wonder if people ever reflected about their telephone or email use in the past as much :). Regardless, the driving force does seem to be about people and community. We keep lines of communication open through various ways because of the people and relationships we want to maintain. Do we feel just as bad for not returning an @ reply as a phone call now? It still may have more to do with the connection to the person, than the tool.ReplyDelete
Enjoyed your thoughts, John.
Dug this John. Every bit of it.ReplyDelete
Especially the idea that "using Twitter" is a lot like "using a Church or a bowling alley."
That resonated.
Thanks for reminding us that relationships are the key. Twitter just makes those relationships possible.
I needed that.

I just saw the sign there after I got an Oil Change. It's gonna be on the corner of 5th and Duff, right next to that new Mattress Place and Taco Bell.
Not bad, not bad at all.
Not going to lie, I prefer panchero's (maybe it's just cause they mix the ingredients up)... but haven't seen one outside of Ioway

Agree. Pancheros is so much better.
I don't even know what it is, but I like it!
Nothing will ever beat The Flying Burrito
The last 5 or so times I've had Chipotle, I've been pretty underwhelmed. Not as good as it was 5-6 years ago.
This will be 3rd best burrito in Ames behind Fighting and Panchero's.
I used to prefer Chipotle to Panchero's, but it seems like Chipotle has slipped.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
That building is full of the two things this town sorely needed more of, mattress stores and burrito places.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.

Also 100% agree. Pancheros FTW.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. ~ George Carlin
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers
I can't believe this topic hasn't been discussed on here before...
Chipotle is good, but is really overrated. Still, not a bad addition to Ames.
Qdoba>Pancheros>>>>>>>>>>>>Fighting Burrito
Never had Chipotle, but I hear they don't have queso. Not a good start.
Not to highjack the thread but Cedar Rapids needs a Old Chicago and a Hickory Park ASAP!!!

Police have arrested a man in connection to a burglary on the northeast side of Colorado Springs.
Corban Elmore, 38, is charged with burglary and theft. Court records indicate he has bonded out of jail.
11 News spoke with a homeowner who says his home security camera took a picture of the suspect just before he broke into his house.
Justin Fernandez says someone broke into his house October 23, taking jewelry and an iPad.
"Scary in the fact that someone has entered your house without your permission," said Fernandez.
Police tells 11 News that Elmore is linked to at least six home burglaries in Colorado Springs, including the one at Fernandez's home near Stetson Hills and Tutt.
According to court papers, Elmore admitted to police he broke into a house near Dublin and Peterson and stole $260 in cash. He also told police he rummaged through jewelry on a counter before walking out the front door.
A vigilant neighbor watched Elmore get into the family's backyard, and he immediately called 911. He also saw Elmore get into his silver Volkswagen Bug and drive off.
"You get to know whose car goes where and if it's someone that doesn't belong," said neighbor John Bryant.
The victims told friends and coworkers about the crime, and said to be on the lookout for that car they believed the suspect was driving.
Aaron Celaya said he spotted the car just days later on his way into work near Constitution and Peterson.
"I made the choice to follow, to keep a good distance, but to grab his plate number and then to call 911," said Celaya.
Police responded to the area, and brought the man into custody.

hey it looks like the northern east coast of the US!
...Amidst the ruins of the Old Heretics, civilization struggles to rise again. Despite the dire evil of the Atomic Imps, Spreaders of Mutation, Mother Church shines like a beacon to her wayward children...
It has been more than two centuries since the Great Cleansing Fire wiped away the civilization of the Old Heretics. Just as the world was swept clean by Flood eons ago, so it was swept clean anew by Fire. The False Gods - Oil, Television, and Science - have been defeated. Now, in a new, simpler, Godlier world, Mother Church guides the new kingdoms of man forward into a new dawn.
(Yes - creepy fascist churchmen lording it over peasants and petty nobles, with mutants and ancient tech thrown in. We've seen it before and we'll see it again, I'm sure. Why? Because it's awesome, that's why. )

Can't wait to see it! Love the back story, of course...
Background parchment is a moderately-modified version of a background that Torstan posted a while back.
I think I'm going to dump the wavy coast line; I don't think they work well.

Wellllll.... looks like I won't get a chance to finish this after all. The idea is interesting enough to me that I want to keep working on it, but it'll have to be in a non-challenge way.
Please do finish when you have time! I was looking forward to seeing where you went with it, as it's an interesting concept.

The Celebrities of Room 28- A Penny For Your Thoughts!-

What inspires you? Well if you ask us that question our answer would be MONSTERS. Our school's art teacher, Mrs. J., introduced the artist Stefan G. Bucher to my students a few weeks ago. We were instantly hooked.
Stafan Bucher is a writer, graphic designer, and an illustrator. He is also the creator of an online animation series called The Daily Monster. For 100 days he filmed himself drawing a new monster from random ink blots and uploaded them to his blog. Those who visited his site named and posted stories about each monster on the blog. His clips got so popular that they have been downloaded over a million times and are now collected in a book called "100 Days of Monsters."
After a few tries of using his style of turning seemingly boring, random ink blots into fasinating creatures we started to ask ourselves, Who is this guy? How did he come up with this idea? We decidde to email him to see if he would like to video conference with us through Skype. When he agreed we were so excited. Our video conference took place on Thursday, December 2nd at 2:00pm (EST). Since Mr. Bucher lives in California he had to wake up early just to Skype with us (sorry ). He was GREAT!!!!!! He told us stories, gave us tips, and answered all of our questions. He even created a brand new monster just for us while we were talking together. Thank you sooooo much, Mr. Bucher. We love your monsters and can't wait to see what you do next.
If you'd like to see our MONSTERly inspired creations or post a story about them, you can do so below.

We live in the greatest country in the world- the United States of America! Did you know that there are 50 states in the USA? Can you name them all? This year we're going to learn the names, locations, and facts about all 50 states. That's quite an adventure we have ahead of us. To help with this learning adventure, we've joined forces with 130 K-3 classes across the USA . We will be sending and receiving postcards by mail and electronically to our new friends. We will be teaching them about Westbury, Long Island, and New York, while they will teach us about their state. Sweden, India, Russia, and Ireland have also joined our mailing list. We only have until January 30th!
To see who we've recieved postcards from, remember to check our wiki each week:

What a view! Check out the beautiful view from our classroom window. It is the atrium in middle of our school and we are lucky because our windows look out into the atrium. For our first learning adventure we will be participating in a year-long online collaborative project with other classes around the US. We will be posting a photo of the view from our classroom each month. We will use adjectives to describe our view. We will be able to see how our view changes with the different seasons and also watch to see what other classes see out of their windows during the year. Do you think their views will be like ours? Do you think the weather is the same all over the USA? We'll find the answers to these questions as we begin to share our views. If you'd like to see the views of our friends in other states, please go to our class wiki:

A few newts were hanging out near the mouth of a small tributary to Nevada Creek. My guess is that they were California Newts, but I was unable to get a satisfactory look. According to the range map from the California Wildlife Habitat Relationships program, this area seems to be at the edge of the range for the Rough-skinned Newt, and I'm not sure the picture I got is good enough to rule out that species.
Found along Nevada Creek.
Found along Nevada Creek.
I found these bright yellow, white, and pale yellow Calochortus lillies growing within 50 feet of each other. I'm not sure if they were the same species or different species.
I've been wondering for a long time what this fragrant plant is. I finally encountered it in bloom and was able to figure it out - pitcher sage. It was growing in chamise-dominated chaparral.
This baby/juvenile turtle was hanging out in Nevada Creek, which drains a landscape dominated by arid oak woodland and chaparral in northeast Napa County. I was surprised to find a turtle here, and was especially excited to find a young one - I've never seen one before. It was only about 2.5 inches long and had a noticeable tail (I think it's tucked around and sticking out from the left side in the picture). Although there is not much in the way of riparian habitat along this creek, I'd guess that at least portions remain wet year-round, as there were lots of small fish and a Belted Kingfisher flew through the area.
I'm assuming this was a western pond turtle, since the location was pretty remote. I can't imagine that an introduced species would be hanging out here. However, I'm no expert in turtle identification, so confirmation of the species would be much appreciated. The last picture that I've added shows the habitat. The turtle is circled in red.

Lindi Urban member of Parliament Salum Bar'wani has advised the government to allow students who failed in last year's Form Four national examinations to reseat them.
He sounded the advice at the weekend when addressing a public rally at Ilulu football ground here.
Bar'wani said reports by the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training had it that about 80 per cent of students who sat for the examinations last year failed.
He cited his region as amongst those which students performed badly, especially in community secondary schools where most students come from poor families.
The MP said poor performance in community schools had been contributed by a number of factors, including lack of teachers and teaching materials.
The lawmaker said that poor performance of the students, especially in southern regions, had been highly contributed by the government's failure to allocate the schools with enough teachers as well as building laboratories and supplying learning facilities like textbooks.
"The government should not hunt for the witch. It should find out the genuine reasons for mass failures," stressed the MP.
Bar'wani expressed grave concern over poor development of various essential facilities in the country after about 50 years of independence, citing poor condition and supply of education, health and infrastructure facilities as examples of deficiencies he was talking about.
He blamed most problems facing the country and majority of its people on poor policies, which he said cannot be implemented to bring to the poor majority envisaged development.

Orbit Lantern and Flashlight
Shopping Info
|Black Diamond Orbit Lantern - The Orbit LED Lantern by Black Diamond is designed for ounce-conscious backpackers, climbers and travelers, packing 105 lumens of bright, non-glaring light in an ultra-portable package. A pocket-sized version of the popular Voyager, the Orbit is a bright, non-glaring, ultra-lightweight lantern crossed with a powerful, precise flashlight. It is the perfect companion for trekking or backpacking where shaving grams is crucial. A TriplePower LED works with a dual reflector system and frosted globe to illuminate everything from tent-bound reading to pre-dawn racking. The unique dimming switch provides the optimal amount of light and helps conserve batteries. A collapsible, double-hook hang loop attaches to tent ceilings and tree branches alike.

Specs for Black Diamond Orbit Lantern/Flashlight:
It's light and bright. I use a candle lantern in winter to reduce ice condensation, but this is better for warmer weather. Lasts for hours on alkaline cheapo batteries.
Every time we go camping we forget to bring a lantern. This little guy will save us from middle of the night journeys to the portable latrine and late card games in our tent. Perfect to put into your bag without sacrificing room for other important accessories. Glad I stumbled upon this little gem.

The Young Women's Empowerment Project is a community based youth lead project that was founded in 2001 by a radical feminst and harm reduction based collective of women and girls involved in the sex trade and street economy and our allies.
We were created by women and girls who believe that any girl can be empowered and that all girls are priceless, creative, and smart and can be leaders in their communities.
We offer girls involved in the sex trade and street economy ages 12-23 non-judgmental support, harm reduction information and resources and we even have job opportunities and paid volunteer positions.
We are not a social service agency.
That means that we don't do "Intakes" or find people housing, or take people to court, etc.
If a girl needs something we can't provide, we make a referral to someone we trust who we think can help out. We never share information or ask for identification. In fact, we dont allow social workers, lawyers or law enforcement in our offices!
Everything that we do is free of cost to girls.
Our mission is to offer safe, respectful, free of judgment spaces for girls and young women impacted by the sex trade and street economies to recognize and develop their goals, dreams and desires. This work is personal to us because it is about our lives.

How To Display A Model Ship
The experience of owning a model ship is one of grand prestige and admiration, so it's only fitting that this prized possession be properly displayed for further inspection and appreciation. Often the right method of display depends on the size and style of the model.
Model Ship Display Shelves
While many model ships do some with a stand to place them on for better display and signification, often the model is then placed on a shelf for better visibility. While bookshelves are popular for this type of display, the use of wall mounted model ship display selves are becoming increasingly popular. They're easy to assemble and are especially good for rooms with very little regular shelving space.
As these shelves do leave the ship exposed to the open air, it is important that your model is regularly dusted and cleaned to prevent gradual deterioration. Genuine wood shelves are often already treated with a stain. To further preserve the life of your shelf, you should treat it with a little linseed oil which will soak into the wood and over time will harden to protect the wood from dents and scratches while also preserving the wood's moisture.
Model Ship Display Cases
If you would rather not have to deal with the constant maintenance of cleaning your model ship, a large model ship display case enclosed in either glass or Plexiglas is also an option. These cases come in a variety of sizes and shapes to perfectly fit the type of ship you own. They also are manufactured in an array of materials, though most ship model collectors tend to prefer wooden cases due to their more traditional appeal.
Even with your model in an enclosed environment, it should be removed from the case for periodical preservation. Another thing to keep in mind is that the wood from display cases can lead to acid migration which can slowly corrode fabrics and paper. It's best to places a small sheet of Mylar underneath your display and to allow for air flow in order to alleviate the build up of acid fumes.
Model Ship Display Tables
Perhaps your model ship is too large for proper display on a regular shelf or in a bookcase. In this case, there are model ship display tables specifically made to hold these substantial works of art. These tables are often easy to assemble and come in a variety of wood finishes to match your home decor.
As with shelves, you will need to clean your model frequently and properly treat the wood table to keep it beautiful for longer. Also, the table should be kept in a place where pets and/or small children will not have easy access to it to prevent further damage.
Model Ship Display Table & Case Combinations
If you prefer, there is also the option to have a model ship display table and case together. Purchasing these items as a set means that you will have a beautiful and seamless way to show off your model. If purchased from the same manufacturer, you will have a case that fits perfectly fit on top of your table and prevent it from falling off.
Whichever way you prefer to exhibit your fine ship model, we know that you'll find the one that fits you and your home or office best.

WASHINGTON – Avoiding the common cold or flu this winter season may be easier than previously thought.
In addition to washing hands frequently, scientists also recommend touching things less frequently and keeping your hands away from your face.
Researchers with the National Institutes of Health picked people at random to watch in public places, including on the Metrorail system.
The researchers found the average person touches common objects 3.3 times an hour, and touches his or her face 3.6 times an hour.
The frequency of touching both objects and body parts gives bacteria and viruses a chance to spread from surfaces to the body and back between hand washings.
The findings were published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
