I've been at Kent since September 2003, having previously taught at the University of Aberdeen. I completed my PhD in Film Studies at the University of Nottingham in 1999. Prior to this, I had a career in Biochemistry, a discipline in which I also hold a PhD.
My research primarily focusses on digital media in cinema, animation and games. My interest lies in the capacity of these popular media to reveal contemporary concerns about technology, from how technology looks, what it does, and the ways in which we interact with it.back to top

Animated Worlds: the module introduces the diversity of animation, from cel-animations, to puppets, 3D computer animation and on-line animations. We study shorts and features from around the world, exploring animation as an aesthetic and cultural phenomenon.
Digital Domains: beginning with the history of special effects, we look at the shifting terrains of digital filmmaking. Charting a course from familiar effects films, we move towards more experimental works and the changing opportunities for filmmakers and audiences alike.
Cinema and Technology: Following the rapid developments in digital and computer media, interest in cinema and technology has grown. This MA module draws on an interdisciplinary framework from media and cultural studies, science and technology studies, philosophy and film theory, exploring changes in the cinema within a broadly defined technocultural shift.
My research is informed by an interest in the relationships between technology and moving image media. Since undertaking a PhD on images of technoscience in American Cinema, I have developed a cross media approach, working with animation, digital games, installation art and cinema. Areas of study have included images of humans and technologies, and the impact of digital media on cinema aesthetics, animation, digital games and installations. A number of these projects have benefitted from awards from the Leverhulme Trust, the AHRC and the BA.
My current research is focused on 3D animation software and its use in visual effects, animations, adverts, and science visualizations. Funded by an AHRC Fellowship, this research has involved interviewing animators, developing a framework that draws on software studies, ecologies of technologies, and digital materialities, as well as cinema studies.
I am also involved in 'fx works', a collaboration with other UK-based academics interested in visual effects and imaging technologies more widely.
I am particularly interested in supervising projects on digital media, animations, digital games, cinema and technologies.

North County league baseball preview
The first month of the high school baseball season is in the books, enabling the contenders to separate themselves from the pretenders.
Here's a look at how things shape up as league play begins:
Avocado East League
The contenders: Defending league champion San Pasqual (10-5) and runner-up Vista (13-2) lost several players to graduation, but they remain the two favorites this season.
Notable: Vista is coming off a Lions 6A Division championship. Junior Brett Seeburger has led the way at the plate — batting .524 (22-for-42) with 14 RBI — and on the mound — going 3-0 with a 0.77 ERA and 29 strikeouts. Teammates Austin Ott (4-0, 1.50 ERA) and Dylan Estenson (3-0, 0.98 ERA) also are undefeated. ... San Pasqual senior left-hander Kevin Grendell (4-0, 0.58 ERA, 59 SO in 35.2 IP) has emerged as one of the county's elite pitchers. Grendell was at his best in a 10-0 win over Madera South in last week's Lions Tournament. He struck out 20 batters, one off the San Diego Section record. An infield flyout was the only Madera out recorded in the field.
Avocado West League
The contenders: Defending champion La Costa Canyon (8-6-1) struggled out of the gate, but the Mavericks are playing well now and will be in the mix with Rancho Buena Vista (13-3), Oceanside (9-7) and Carlsbad (7-3).
Notable: RBV was boosted by an 11-game winning streak in the season's early going. The team won the North County Tournament and finished runner-up to Vista in the 6A Division of the Lions Tournament. The Longhorns benefit from three quality starting pitchers — Marcus Reyes, Zack Wickham and Blake Chandler — who each opened the season 3-0. ... LCC has several strong pitchers on the staff — Jake Schulz, Evan Schreiber and Andrew Hinkle among them — but has relied on hitters like Danny Martin (.389), Zach Armstrong (.357) and Hinkle (.366) to lead the team until the pitching gains experience. ... Oceanside junior Matt Flake (.342, 11 RBI) has emerged at the plate and on the mound, where his three victories match those of teammate Max Burdette. ... Carlsbad junior right-hander Slater Lee (3-0, 1.51 ERA, 1 SV, 20 SO) has been a pleasant surprise on the mound for the Lancers.
Palomar League
The contenders: This should be the most competitive race in North County, with Torrey Pines (12-2-1), Westview (12-4), Poway (9-5) and perhaps Ramona (7-7) challenging defending champion Rancho Bernardo (9-5) for the title.
Notable: Torrey Pines junior left-hander John Rodriguez isn't a regular in the rotation, but he made the most of a spot start by throwing a no-hitter two weeks ago in a 10-0 win over Canyon Crest. Kyle Johnson leads the Falcons with 14 RBI, followed by teammate Morgan Oliver with 11. Luc Rennie has a team-leading .413 batting average and also leads the team on the mound with four wins and a 0.72 ERA. ... Westview has nearly doubled last season's win total, with senior right-handers Jake Valdez and JP DeGasperis accounting for four victories apiece. The team's most notable win came in last week's Lions Tournament 4A finals last week when Jon Molnar and Evan Engelhardt combined on a no-hitter in an 8-0 victory over Granada Hills. Junior shortstop Vince Mori is batting a team-leading .447 with 13 RBI. ... RB coach Sam Blalock entered the week just seven wins away from his 800th career victory, a milestone reached by just two other prep baseball coaches in California. Alex Jackson (.350, 12 RBI, 4 HR) and Gosuke Kotah (.375, 10 RBI, 3 HR) have paced the Broncos offense while junior right-hander Parker Bugg (4-0, 1.50 ERA, 24 SO) has emerged on the mound. ... Ramona's Jackson Willeford (.480, 15 RBI, 5 HR) and Beau Sulser (.396, 14 RBI) are pounding opposing pitchers. Sulser also has two wins and two saves for the Bulldogs.

Local census return rate at about sixty percent
Beth Wheelock
March 30, 2010
It's officially Census Day Thursday, but residents still have leeway for returning their census forms.
Kay Deupree with the Janesville League of Women Voters says the forms can be returned until mid-April. About forty percent of Janesville residents haven't returned the forms. She says each percentage point is equivalent to hundreds of dollars in staff time for census workers going door-to-door.

I like these gojiberries very much although they were quite dry. Most of the gojiberries I've tried are a bit dry though, I definetly recommend this.
Good smell and taste!
Posted by Reviewer1693768 on Aug 30, 2010
The quality seems fine, and they taste good:) Good in smoothies and I also eat them together with nuts inbetween meals.
ok taste
Posted by Reviewer2341133 on Jun 04, 2010
first time I have tasted goji berries, so I don't really know how it's supposed to taste. good price!
Surprisingly yummy!
Posted by Reviewer3021883 on May 29, 2010
Didn't know what to expect, since this is my first Gojji purchase. Very tasty and packed with nutrition! Great addition to homemade granola, smoothies and even salads.
Great berries!!

Very juicy and tastefull berries!!
I put them in my smoothies
Posted by Reviewer1350062 on May 07, 2010
They are good blended, but I am not nuts about eating handfuls of them. I do feel that I have more energy from them.
Goji Power
Posted by Reviewer1044880 on Feb 14, 2010
The price is reasonable and saw on a Doctors show that they are good for you so thought I would try them. I use them in smoothies and healthy drinks. I like the taste of them and don't mind the little pieces in the drink. I would order them again when I use up my supply if they seen to help.
Goji berries
Posted by Reviewer3037744 on Jan 27, 2010
Happy with this product!
Tasty & Nutritious!
Posted by Reviewer1497975 on Jan 06, 2010
I used to take protein powders mixed with grape juice right after a strength-training workout, which helped my muscles recover well. But after I replaced those drinks with goji berries, I experienced better overall recovery- Besides the high nutrient content, these berries feel like they're 100% digested and absorbed by my body. I would have rated this five stars if they didn't get stuck in between my teeth! Be prepared to floss! lol:)

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

Ok, so I tried your tips and it worked for a while. Then it didn't work again. Then it came back and worked for a while. The. It stopped again. Then it worked...ETC. it just goes on and on and on. I can't get it to keep a constant connection. Also, all previous devices mentioned are free of the problem.

I'm having the same symptoms. Have two different Ipads, both on 5.1.1, both act as described above. Further notes:
- I have tried two different wifi routers, one Linksys E2000 and one Amped Wireless R10000G. Ipads act same way with both routers.
- I have various other wireless devices on same network, which seem to work fine even at same time the ipads are acting up.
- I have tried various router setting suggested on different sites, no help.
- I have tried rebooting the router and rebooting the cable modem, no help.
- Various on/off activities on router, ipad, etc, will temporarily get a good connection, and then it will fail again after a short while.
- The ipad never proactively reports the wifi connection dropping. The problem is always first evidenced by an application timing out trying to connect to something.
- The ipad always says it sees a strong wifi signal, but can't re-establish a connection to it.
- Meanwhile, on the same Ipad, the Fing app (in Itunes store) can still scan the wifi network and report back all various devices on the network.
- Fing also reports something I find curious: the various devices on my network seem to change IP addresses fairly often, like several times in an hour. I verified the DHCP lease time on my router is set to 240 minutes. ??
- And in Fing, out of the ~12 devices listed, usually two pairs of them have the same IP address, though both are never showing up as active at the same time. E.g. Right now I see an ipod (not ipad) and a Windows laptop both with 192.168.3.106, while all my other devices have individual/unique IP's.
Who has an idea?

I just made the terrible mistake of updating my iPad 2 to 5.1.1 today, it's effectively bricked my iPad. Without WiFi access, the vast majority of my apps are useless. None of the suggested fixes do a darned thing because all of them presume the problem has to do with something other than the real cause which is the iOS being a piece of garbage that they need to fix and fix FAST because I'm one angry iPad owner who wants a refund for his iPad but knows he'll never get one, so eBay is looking mighty tempting and an Android tablet may be in my future. I already made the switch from the iPhone to the Galaxy Note (and am very glad I did, what a vastly superior device). Apple is an amazingly evil company who does not care about its users. I wish all of you a lot of luck trying to get an answer and a fix to this problem from Apple because they DO NOT care about you. Think about it, this is a company that has its devices built by slave laborers in China, why would they care about you? This is a company that charges 500% and more over the value of its products to its customers based on one thing and one thing only, a brand. People buy Apple for the same reason they buy Gucci, so they can say they have one. Not because the product is any good. I have over 30 years of experience in the computer and technology field and I'm very familiar with Apple's game. I've had to own Apple products (mostly for work related things) and have always found that they were amazingly inferior products that people liked for all the wrong reasons.
It's time for me to UPGRADE from this iPad to a product that actually works. I hear the new Sony Android tablet is quite nice, I might get that. Anyone wanna buy an iPad 2, it's in really excellent condition, except for this WiFi issue, if you don't mind that. By Apple standards it works PERFECTLY... $450 OBO takes it.

Thought I'd found a solution, posted it, only to have the WiFi problem pop up right after I posted it, so I'm editing this to remove the non-working solution.

hi I seem to be having the same problem. started with 5.1.1 upgrade on iPod touch 3rd gen. replaced my netgear dg834g v3 router with a netgear dgn2200v3. problem solved! but no after a week it's started dropping the connection again every 2 minutes or so. also annoying as before at least stopped iPod touch from sleeping properly so overnight battery would practically run flat despite. I use. console via iPhone configuration utility showed something about frequent transitions but don't understand if thay's relevant. with new router console log was quiet when ipod locked unlike before. as iOS 6 won't run on my iPod hoping Apple will release a fix for 5.1.1!
glad to see doesn't seem to be just netgear routers. connections to other wireless devices are rock solid; signal strength excellent.
any ideas?

If you remember back to when the ipad was fresh and new, there were problems with the ios devices wanting to hang on to their ip addresses indefinitely. I fought this problem with my ipad 2 as soon as I updated to IOS 5. I then had the problem with a 3gen ipad. After a little troubleshooting, I found my iphones were sporadicaly dropping wifi too.
I went into my wireless routers dhcp settings and assigned static reservations to every ios device i had. I haven't dropped wifi on any devices in months.

did you ever get this fixed? So many suggestions, I am not sure where to start.

in response to kanalty
To Thad V: thanks for the suggestion. good to hear that the static address worked for you. I have tried setting a static address on my iPod and reserving the same IP address for it on the router and unfortunately it hasn't resolved my intermitant connection problem.
Sometimes I find that repeatedly turning the wifi and airplane modes on and off resets it and the wifi will stabilise and work fine. Other times shutting it down completely (holding the button on the end and slide to power off ... ) and then rebooting works.
However using the Console app - which shows you the iPod's logs - and I would highly recommend - has suggested to me that my iPod may have some hardware issues too. [It did go through the washing machine once! - after 10 days left turned off and drying out under some rice it seemed to be working perfectly for a few months ... but perhas all was not so good.] I visted the Covent Garden Apple store and they quoted £150 to fix it back to new condition although that was without having run a full hardware diagnostic check (for which you need an appointment).

This may seem like an unlikely fix but I have had a lot of problems with this kind of issue. Something that I just noticed seems to make a difference is as follows.
1. quit all apps (not sure if this is necessary) [double click home button, press an app at the bottom of the screen until a cross comes up, hit the cross to quit the app, do this for all apps.]
2. shut down the ipod.
3. restart ipod. when passcode screen comes up do not enter code immediately. wait 15 seconds or so. then enter passcode.
4. wifi connects perfectly. [without the wait - spinning wheel/ scanning problems like you mention]
don't know if this will help you?

Soooo .. yesterday I finally gave in and went to a free session at crossfit fire with my husband. He has been going faithfully for months now with great results. I never thought it would be for me because they lift weights and do gymnastics type moves and "I don't lift weights". The entire drive there my husband and I discussed what the workout might be. We figured it would be something simple in order to be friends and family friendly, right? Wrong! It was an olympic style lifting move called the clean and jerk. Being the good sport that I am, I warmed up with a 500 meter row then turned on my fitness watch to track my heart rate and calories. The coach did a simple warm up with some jumping jacks and other simple moves ending with 5 burpees. I don't like burpees, but I figured I could do 5. Then he went into how to do a clean and jerk using a wooden rod just to get the movement. I then graduated to a 10kg rod and after I was confident with the move, I switched to a 15kg bar. The coach broke the movement down and made it really easy, and the other people in the class who were experienced really helped out watching the new people's form and giving advice on corrections and encouragement when it was done well. Then we moved on to the workout of the day which was do as many clean and jerks as possible in one minute. One minute?!?!?! That's the whole workout? I did it and it was fun! .. so I did it again! Then I checked my calories burned and couldn't believe I had burned nearly 600 calories!!!! WHAT?? I wasn't sore, I wasn't winded (except for right after that minute thing). Here I am, the next day, feeling fine. That was a sneaky little workout ... keeping me distracted with that learning stuff and all of those positive, helpful people. I might actually do this crossfit thing once or twice a week.

In his book, Divine Teaching, Mark MacInosh outlines the analogies or metaphors that the church has used to try to explain what happens from Good Friday through Easter Sunday.The medical metaphor for salvation emphasizes healing -- deep healing that touches the whole of our existence. The saving work of Jesus restores harmony to our lives, beginning with our relationship with God. It touches us deep within and it touches our relationships with others.The legalmetaphor takes its point o … [Read more...]

Basketball is Life
Tracking the misadventures of college basketball, Dennis Burman raises uncomfortable truths -- not just about our attitudes toward sports, but our attitudes toward politics.We do not operate on principle. We advocate for our tribe. And if our tribe gets involved in what we can spin or describe as a personal peccadillo, if shading the truth or exaggerating can be explained away as prophetic or patriotic, then so be it.At least the right side wins. Or so we think.But what dies in the … [Read more...]
Reimagining the Church
The phrase, "think globally, act locally" is attributed to Patrick Geddes, a Scottish philanthropist, town planner, biologist, and sociologist. The idea, though not the exact phrase, appears in his book, Cities in Evolution, which was published in 1915. Well ahead of his time, Geddes was at pains to argue for an approach to urban planning that took the surrounding environs into account.The concept has been appropriated and broadened in its application to a number of endeavors, but it's time t … [Read more...]
Beyond Partisanship
I've had it. Don't spin me. Don't lie to me. Don't bury me in a mountain of legalize and tell me I'm ignorant. Don't exploit my tax dollars. Don't sell my country to special interests foreign and domestic. Don't tell me you are for a champion of the poor and squire around DC in limos, fly across the country in government-provided transportation, and dine at DC's finest restaurants. Don't tell me you are a champion of the people and focus on getting re-elected over and over again. Don't poor … [Read more...]

Taking to the Street
My friend and colleague, Kevin Martin, achieves "Onion-esque" success at his blogspot with a satire that raises a serious question. What happens when we transplant liturgical acts and sacraments from sacred space to the public domain? Baptismal Font Goes on the MoveEven though heavily endowed, Grace Memorial Episcopal Church in Kelso, Ohio, a town just outside of Columbus is facing hard times. The Rector, an Assisting Priest, and a Deacon have only three remaining Church members. That is … [Read more...]
The Language of Lent: Repentance
Lent is making something of a comeback as Christians who historically have observed the season bump up against those who don't in the blogosphere. But the language of Lent, which is rooted in larger Christian practice, often makes people uncomfortable.Of the many words associated with Lent, "repentance" may actually qualify as one of the more underappreciated and misunderstood words. The conversation about repentance with the larger culture and, for that matter, conversations with people wi … [Read more...]
The Evolving Future of Theological Education
I have been on The Episcopal Church's Board of Examining Chaplains now for twelve years. I've finished my last batch of ordination examinations and as of General Convention next summer, I will have completed my responsibilities.The examination has evolved over the last twelve years, as has the mechanism for evaluating it.

Lance Armstrong and the Meaning of Repentance
This just in from the BBC in an interview with cyclist, Lance Armstrong: Shamed cyclist Lance Armstrong believes the time is coming when he should be forgiven for doping and lying - and told the BBC he would probably do it again. Armstrong, 43, was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles and banned from sport for life by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (Usada) in August 2012. "If I was racing in 2015, no, I wouldn't do it again because I don't think you have to," he said. "If … [Read more...]
Remembering Marcus
When I first arrived at Oxford, my supervisor, George Caird, suggested that I read the work that one of his students had done. That student was Marcus Borg. At the time Marcus was yet to publish his dissertation and he had returned to the United States without a teaching position. But his dissertation, which illuminated the teaching of Jesus against the backdrop of first century Judaism and Roman domination was a brilliant piece of work. I spent weeks on end, poring over his thesis in the … [Read more...]

Melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) was first discovered in salmon where it acts to lighten skin color. In mammals, MCH has been shown to play a role in energy homeostasis through its two receptors melanin concentrating hormone receptors 1 & 2 (MCHR1 and MCHR2). MCHR1 has been shown to localize to the plasma membrane and partially internalize when exposed to MCH. However, little is known about MCHR2 since it is not natively expressed in rodents. Through cloning, four plasmids were created that contained either MCHR1 or MCHR2 cDNA tagged with HA or Myc. BHK570 cells were transfected with these plasmids and fluorescence microscopy and immunocytochemistry were used to test for and compare receptor localization at the plasma membrane as well as receptor internalization when exposed to MCH.

Home ⋅ Thank You Notes and Photo Baby Thank You Cards ⋅ Animals ⋅ Floral & Botanical ⋅ Pink
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"Very happy with the quality. Came out just how I wanted it to. It matched the invitations I ordered. I would highly recommend this product."
"I ordered these cards for shower Thank You's. I live in Germany and ordered the cards to say "Danke schön!" (Thank you!). They turned out great! The quality of the paper is fantastic. The envelope size presents a bit of a problem with the German post, because it is smaller than a normal post envelope, it costs ~2.50 EUR to send domestic post (each card). It would be great to offer an envelope size that is a bit bigger, for European clients : ) I also ordered the matching envelope labels and am really happy with these as well!"
"These cards are extremely cute and go perfectly with the matching invitations and address labels. I did have one problem with the first batch of cards that arrived - the pink border was very thin on one side compared to the other. But I called TP and they sent a new, corrected batch to me within a few days at no charge of course. They were very helpful."

The site's new GetJar Gold is offering Android apps for free that would otherwise cost a few bucks through Google or Amazon.
Mobile application provider GetJar is the latest Apple legal target for using the term "App Store" to describe its mobile application storefront.
App store will use a $25 million funding round to "aggressively expand" its software for Android devices.
The company's Gold program, which started earlier this month, allows customers who sign up free downloads of pay apps.
Carrier gives customers the ability to download GetJar's app store. The service is available on about 50 different phones, according to Reuters.
The largely unknown but actually second-largest mobile app store, behind Apple's behemoth, closes Series B funding.
GetJar CEO Iljas Laur lays out why Google exerts more control than you think, and what it means for developers.
Everyone knows that Apple has the largest mobile application store in the world, but who is second? A small company called GetJar.
It's not just a hit on iOS. The game, which was released to GetJar on Friday, hit 2 million downloads in just two days of availability.
Total value of the worldwide market for apps on the go could grow to $17.5 billion in the next three years, GetJar estimates.

Middle Tennessee women's basketball senior Laken Leonard was named the 2014 recipient of the Middle Tennessee State University President's Award on Thursday.
Laken Leonard of Whitleyville was presented the award Thursday (April 24) during the annual College of Basic and Applied Sciences Awards' Day in the James Union Building's Tennessee Room.
Provost Brad Bartel presented the award to Leonard. Bartel filled in as President Sidney A. McPhee was out of town on university business.
The President's Award is the most prestigious honor given to an MTSU student. The recipient must exemplify superior character and honor and have made achievements that, ideally, all students should strive to meet. The undergraduate student will have completed at least 90 credit hours, have a minimum 3.0 GPA, be recognized as a campus leader and have made significant contributions to the university community.
"I felt like it's a great blessing and I felt honored," said Leonard, discussing her initial thoughts after learning in late March she would receive the award.
"I really enjoyed MTSU as a whole," said Leonard, a senior who will graduate Saturday, May 10, in Murphy Center. "God placed me here for a reason. The faculty here helped me. They were very understanding and patient. They have a huge passion for what they do. ... As for life on campus, I love MTSU. It was a great experience."
"The President's Award signifies the highest academic achievement by a student at MTSU," Bartel said.
"I am excited to know Laken is this year's recipient," McPhee said. "She is an exceptional student-athlete, who is committed to a number of student organizations and community efforts. I know she will have a great future and will be a great ambassador for the university."
It marks the second award in the past two weeks for Leonard. She was among 16 Conference USA athletes to earn Winter C-USA Spirit of Service honors for not only her on-court and academic achievements, but also for involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Greenhouse Ministries, Special Olympics and more.
After being nominated for the President's Award and interviewed by a Center for Student Involvement and Leadership awards committee, she was asked what advice she would give to the new crop of entering freshmen.
"Get out there and be involved from the start," said Leonard, whose mother, Candice, attended the awards ceremony. "Focus on your studies to get a good start. Become a part of something — sorority or fraternity life."
Leonard will graduate with more than a 3.75 GPA in biochemistry as a pre-pharmacy major. She plans to attend Belmont University's College of Pharmacy starting in August.
"Her positive attitude, exceptional academic record and leadership qualities exhibited while at Middle Tennessee State University make Laken an excellent candidate for the President's Award," said College of Basic and Applied Sciences Dean Bud Fischer, who also served as one of Leonard's faculty mentors.
Others she praised for aiding her academic efforts included chemistry professor Scott Handy and pre-professional coordinator Jennifer Hendrix.
"I think pharmacy's my calling," Leonard said, when asked if she might become a coach one day because she is taking three coaching classes (football, tennis and baseball) this spring. "I love camps and kids, but I don't see myself as a coach in the future."
Born in Lebanon, Tennessee, but a resident of Whitleyville most of her life, Leonard was Class A Miss Basketball and most valuable player when Jackson County High School captured the 2010 TSSAA state championship in Murphy Center, which would become her home court.
Leonard started 16 games for the 29-5 C-USA regular season and tournament champion Blue Raiders, averaging 6.7 points.

What's the best way to tell my partner we're pregnant?
I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm looking for fun ways to tell my partner. With our first, I taped the pregnancy test to a baby name book and gift-wrapped it! Have any good ideas on creative ways to tell your partner that you're pregnant?

My bf is currently out of town so when I found out I painted "Hi daddy" and a pair of baby footprints on my belly and put a bow on it and took a picture. I was talking to him on the phone and said "I think you left something here" I sent the picture and he said are you serious, is this for real!

My husband and I found out together because I was too excited not to have him there with me when I took the test. But afterwards we went to both of our parents houses and I had bought little outfits and blankets that said things like "Grandpa's Little Man," and "Apple of Grandma's Eye," and the blanket said, "Heading to Grandmas." Since we didnt know what we were having because it was so early I bought the outfits in nuetral colors yellow and green onesies. They cried and we were already one up on all the new clothes we would need!posted 01/18/2010 by sschulth617
When I found out we were having our second baby, I picked up a card from the drugstore that said "Hi" on the front and inside it read "How are you doin'?" at the bottom of the card I wrote: Hi Dat Dat~ I've left heaven... See you in 9 months! Love Baby Then I had it mailed to him (here at home) from an unknown address, I even had someone else hand write the address on the envelope so he wouldn't know it was from me :o) As an added bonus I hid the video camera and taped his reaction. It was priceless!posted 01/12/2010 by Ashley139
When I told my husband we were expecting I waited until he was out of the house and then I threw him a surprise Father's Day party by making home-made decorations, signs, balloons, a cake (since it was August). I never say so many tears. When we told our parents we bought a card that was blank inside and wrote a note to Grandmom and Grandpop, telling them they didn't know who I was but I knew all about them from mommy and daddy and I couldn't wait to meet them and all the rest of my family, then we signed it from the unborn babyposted 10/21/2004 by cathynsteve
We are trying for our second child now, I stay at home with my 1 1/2 year old son, so when I get the positive test results, I plan on going out and buying a "Big Brother" shirt and putting that on our son so he sees the shirt on him when he comes home from work.posted 07/18/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I just found out this morning that I am pregnant. My husband and his family eat, sleep and breathe Husker football, so I went out and bought a Husker's sleeper.

My hubby and I are presently trying to conceive (our first cycle). When it does happen, I am thinking of taking him to the park where he proposed to me, and asking him, "Do you remember bringing me here __ years ago? Do you remember what you asked me?"

I'll give him a box with the positive test inside and there will be a card asking him, "Are you excited about being a daddy?"posted 04/28/2009 by Regina03
I just found out that im pregnant with our second child, our first is 2 yrs old, I already have my idea thought out, On Christmas Day we will be with My Husbands whole side of the Family, so I have gift wrapped both pregnancy sticks in tissue paper, and put them inside of a red neckalace box, with a note on top of the tissue that says " Merry Christmas Daddy." 2 more wks till christmas..

Baby A's, Barton Springs Road
Baby A's also known as Baby Alcapulco, is a great local family-owned Mexican restaurant chain with lots of atmosphere and fabulous Tex-Mex food. The Baby A's on Barton Springs Road was the venue for out VT meeting when I was in Austin.
We enjoyed eating on the large covered and protected front porch, with about ten of us sitting around a big round table. The service was excellent and the company was fantastic.
Favorite Dish: I couldn't resist the Baby A's Deluxe Dinner: One of each - beef enchilada, tamale, chicken flauta, crispy beef taco, guacamole, chile con queso nacho and chalupa. Served with rice and beans. It was piled high, well prepared and beautifully presented. At only $9.25 it was a bargain too.

Stubb's Restaurant
Love + Music + BBQ = Stubbs
Mark (ATXtraveler) and I took a break from our day of touring Austin to have lunch at Stubbs - an Austin tradition. The place is very laid back and is locally famous for its outstanding Texas barbecue. It was crowded on the day we were there, as I imagine it is most of the time.
Stubbs isn't too impressive from the outside, but it does have a lot of character. Inside the place was bustling and the food very robust and tasty, which keeps folks coming back for more.
I'd like to return to Stubbs sometime in the evening when they have live music - every night. On Sunday they feature a Gospel Brunch with Holy Rock-n-Rollin'.
Favorite Dish: I enjoyed the Bar-B-Q sandwich - some of the best to be found in all of Texas.

Mark and Sarah at Chuy's
Chuy's is a local chain of Mexican Restaurants that are popular in the Austin area. This one, on Barton Springs Road, is famous as the place where the daughters of President George W. Bush got busted for underage drinking.
Mark and Sarah took me here to enjoy some refreshment and kill a little time while we waited for the Austin VT meeting which was to take place a little later that evening a short distance up the street. It is very near Zilker Park, where we took walk along the creek and out to Town Lake.
Chuy's motto is: Keep Austin Weird. We don't take anything seriously... except our food..
The little food I sampled at Chuy's was good. Among the interesting things you will find here are:
The Elvis Presley Memorial Combo
La Chihuahua Bar
Burritos as big as yo' face
World Famous T-Shirts
Tex-Mex the way you like it
No crybabies
Creamy Jalapeño
Blue corn tortillas

I have never been a party favor type of person... will you have favors?
Party Favors?
Comments (7)
I'm opposite I love party favors. Nothing fancy just a bag of candy or something. I know a friend that gave out a bag of candy/snacky foods at her child's first birthday and just had a cute tag attached that said " Thank you for sharing our day from ____". I thought that was cute so I'll prob do something similar. I'm usually the one that ends up making favors for showers so I guess I'm the favor girl lol
ETA our favors are going to be little Jungle Buddy bags that have a box of animal crackers and bubbles in them. A card attached says. Thank you for coming to my 1st Birthday! I hope you had a WILD time!
They will also get a jungle animal beach ball.
I actually don't like favors either but I do them anyway because I just feel like I should. I hate coming home from birthday parties with a bunch of tiny plastic toys and candy but I know my son loves it so I will continue to do it for him and for all the other kids that seem to love them.

- Brittany, proud SAHM to Lucas Alexander
I don't mind them sometimes.
I'm going to take bandanas and wrap the favors inside them and tie them with a rope. I'm having a barnyard b-day party for my son. I'm also giving all the little ones cowboy hats.

Baby Martinaeu - I did a cowboy theme a few years ago and I posted our favor in you mail pass a note page.
I also love favors and I always try to make them something that will not get tossed right away! For my dd princess party we did a huge bubble wand and a small bottle of bubbles...things like that. We are doing a cupcake theme for our twins and I am thinking about making a candy sucker in the shape of a cupcake. I don't know.
Mom to 5 beautiful kids, one set of twins.
I am glad they are mine and not yours too ;-)
For my DD's 1st birthday party we did favors for the adults and kids. It was Mickey Mouse themed. The kids got Mickey Mouse banks from the dollar store. Inside I put a homemade mickey head cookie, hershey kisses and a tiny bottle of bubbles. The adults got the cookies and hershey hugs and hershey kisses wrapped in tulle with a tag that said "hugs and kisses full of thanks"

The quality and fit of these liners is unmatched. They have the perfect coverage area, are extremely durable, and are easy to care for when they require cleaning. These liners should be standard on all vehicles.

Inquiry for employment will not affect credit scores
Posted on Aug 20 2013 by experian.team
Dear Experian,
I have been applying for work at employment agencies. They want my permission to conduct a credit check. My concern is that I was told in the past that if too many people are doing credit checks on me, it signifies a problem and can reduce my credit scores. Is that true?

Employer requesting your full Social Security number to access your credit report
Posted on Mar 16 2011 by experian.team
Dear Experian,
I have a possible future employer that wants my full Social Security number to pull my credit report. Can they do it without my full number? I have been a victim of ID theft so am very cautious about doing so. What type of information will they see? Will it be another bump on my credit?

Sameness, sameness everywhere! You can't see the forest for the trees. Too many product categories gravitate towards a single style of 'look-alike' advertising. The style becomes 'generic' to the category and we end up with entrenched category conformity.
For many years analgesics (aspirin, paracetamol) was one of these categories. Almost every brand's ad showed a glass with a tablet being dropped into it while the voiceover advised: 'If pain persists, see your doctor.' This is what I call the chameleon commercials syndrome. Instead of standing out from their environment, ads like this blend in with and virtually disappear into the background. The problem is that the ads are not distinctive enough to break through the clutter in the category and deliver the brand and the message.
In one dramatic case, before the commercial went to air I showed several still shots from it to respondents and they were asked if they had seen this ad recently. The ad was for a brand of pain reliever. Forty-three per cent of the group claimed to have seen the ad on TV recently—before the ad went to air. Not surprisingly, most of these people said they had no idea who the advertiser was, or thought the ad was for some other advertiser.
How can people claim to have seen a commercial that has never been aired? What does this mean? It means that the visuals (and the audio) in the commercial were generic. They were similar to those used by other brands in the category. They could belong to anybody. If the brand were changed, it would do no violence to this commercial. One brand name could have fitted this ad just as well as any other.
Beware of generic elements in commercials, whether these are visual
