The Bailey Volunteer Fire Department is holding its 4th Annual Haunted Fire House, beginning Friday, Oct. 19, at 7 p.m., at the station at 10116 Highway 495.
The fundraiser for the department's needs will be held

Organizers say the event gets bigger every year, and if you come, you won't leave disappointed.
"Don't want to tell too much, but we've got 8 scenes inside the fire station, and about 5 or 6 more out in the haunted forest," said David Sharp, a Bailey volunteer.
Last year, between 1600 and 1700 people went through the haunted fire department. They're expecting more than 2,000 visitors this year.
Admission is $5.00 per person, and an additional $2.00 to go through the haunted forest.

The Smartphone Wristlet Wallet Fits the iPhone 6/6s and Most Large Smartphones
Information is moving at a faster pace than ever and the devices used to obtain that information have been gradually getting larger and larger in size. We listened to our customers and re-created a women's leather smartphone wristlet wallet that reached bestseller status quickly in its first year.
The croco leather smartphone wristlet wallet fits the iPhone 6 and is handcrafted with fine Italian leathers. It is designed for durability. It keeps your smartphone safe, but easily accessible. We paid special attention to quality stitching and to the zippers which are designed with an easy pull feature. And to make sure it can accommodate today's longer and wider smartphones with cases, like the iPhone 6, we've increased the length and width of the holster, lined the sides with stretchable elastic and installed a flexible easy-close magnetic flap that pulls up and down. An adjustable shoulder strap and wristlet complete the look.
Our women's smartphone wristlet wallet also boasts a stretchable area on the side for your lip-gloss and a slot for a small pen on the opposite side. There are now two zipper pulls so you can open it quickly and safely while wearing it cross-body. When worn cross body - horizontally - you can open it and access everything inside with the cash and cards facing you for added security and convenience. You can also wear it vertically if cell phone accessibility is a priority for you. The outer ID is on the back side so it won't be seen until or unless you want it to be. The outer ID also has our famous "hidden curtain" feature so you can place your ID behind the cloth inside the window.
An expanded coin pouch with smart double gusseting gives you the convenience of expansion and convenient accessibility. It comes in a quality gift box, as all of our wallets do. Versatility and flexibility combined with fashion and function make this a unique companion for your iPhone (and smartphones of similar size), cards and cash - exclusively by WalletBe®.
The leather smartphone wallet is also offered in pebbled leather.

Love this phone case wallet, 4.3.2014
Reviewer: Betty Shell
I have been looking for the perfect cellphone case for years and have purchased many only to find they did not fully meet my needs. The Smartphone wallet is just what I need, not only is it beautiful but my phone and wallet are together either cross body or clipped to my jeans with the wrist strap. I plan to buy more as gifts for family and friends.
Love this Wallet, 10.3.2013
Reviewer: Janice Pratt
I've had the smaller version for several years and now I'm buying the larger one for my new larger Samsung smartphone. I love the two straps, which I can switch out or sometimes combine into a longer one, depending on where I'm going. It still shows no wear at all. I sometimes wear under a jacket or hook to my jeans. I usually hook my keys to one of the strap hooks on the side and put my phone stylus on the other side. It's great to be secure and totally hands-free.
Would never use any other wallet!!!!!, 8.30.2013
Reviewer: Garden Angel
In my job, I'm on the move all the time. This wallet, with the wrist strap, allows me to be on the move all day long while carrying my phone, cash,credit cards, lipstick and train pass! When I upgraded my phone, the first criteria was that it fit in my WalletBe. I truly hope iPhone never increases its height.........
Excellent product!!!, 12.7.2012
Reviewer: J. Smith
This wallet /cell phone wallet is awesome.I recently purchased the iphone 5 and an Otterbox Defender case. I soon realized after that my new Iphone did not fit in ANY of my phone compartments in any of my purses. When I put my phone in my purse, I CAN'T hear it. I went shopping at many local stores for a new purse w/ a phone compartment that would fit w/ no luck I turned to the internet and walletbe. Whatya know it fit...
Luv my WalletBe!, 10.25.2012
Reviewer: Tammy
I was looking for the perfect phone wallet/purse and this is IT! Thank you WalletBe ! I just recently ordered my sister one for her birthday. I bet she will like hers as much as I do mine.

When you come from a sunny place like Madrid, with summer days that seem never ending, it is all too easy to give good weather for granted. But here in Amsterdam you learn your lesson soon enough: if it's sunny, go out and enjoy it! Some Sunday not too long ago we decided to do just that and explore Amsterdam Noord. To get to Noord, there are small ferry boats that take you and your ride from Central Station every few minutes. You don't even need to get off your bike.
Once you roll off the ferry, you only need to ride for a couple of miles along a canal before you leave the city. Of course, in The Netherlands you are never short of options when you want to ride somewhere, and it gets even better when you want to ride no where in particular. You just pedal easily along the better looking path or shared country road, and enjoy the scenery
This configuration is very common on smaller roads. Cars have to share the central lane and yield to cyclist at all times. If two cars meet, they may invade the bicycle lanes, but only if no one's coming. If there are cyclist near by, the cars just stop and wait. This way, everyone can enjoy the road safely. On a sunny summer day, you will meet plenty of tourists on their rental bikes exploring the region, sportive cyclists training, people walking and even riding horses.
After a nice relaxed ride, we went back to the lively Amsterdam bicycle traffic. But only after stopping to smell the flowers, of course.
With love, from the bicycle city, Ãlvaro

Beginning that day, and for the next six years, young Bryce does everything he can to keep his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm's length, which isn't easy since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other. Smart, dreamy, independent and willing to stand up for what she believes in, Juli is different from anyone else he knows and, frankly, it's a little overwhelming. What's a guy supposed to do when a girl tells him his hair smells like watermelon or wants him to sit in a tree for the spectacular view?

I had a general question about the date displayed for calendar invites.
My timezone it PDT and is currently -7 from GMT. If I send an invite to someone,
the timezone shows up as;
Time: Thursday, March 13, 2008, 9:00:00 AM - 9:30:00 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific
Notice that is is "-08:00". I was wondering why it does not show it as my real offset from GMT.

Feasibility Study of Microstrip Patch Antenna Array Design
Application ID: 12021
An antenna array is a group of radiating elements. By controlling the phase and magnitude of the input signal assigned to each antenna element and the number of array elements, the radiation pattern can be steered in a desired direction with a preferred level of gain. In this example, a 4 x 2 array of patch antennas is fed from a single feed point, with all elements fed at equal phase and magnitude. The model computes the far-fields showing a sharper radiation pattern than that of a single patch antenna.

A View From A Tram
10/02/2010 12:28 by Amsterdamize
On very rare occasions I'm forced to take a tram. Rare, because cycling in town will always be better, faster and more fun. Duh. Trams and bicycles have a few things in common. They beat the car in efficiency, in making cities livable and you have time to relax, absorb and observe. Duh.
Electric cars
are not the future, they are a disastrous step back. Duh.

Nice! Looks good!
Just finished a mount of my wife's buck. I have never seen a wall hanging Pronghorn Euro mount that "looked right" to me. There are some desk sitting ones that look good, but because their horns stick almost straight up, the wall ones with the half skull just look odd.
I think this one came out fantastic. Mounted on a second plate at a 45 degree angle. We glued the lower jaw back in and the added depth really made a difference. Only thing I wish I could change is cutting the base down and moving the skull back 3/4 an inch, but I did this all without power tools so that change would have been a pita. Maybe once we move and I get my shop set back up.
DIY til I DIE
Nice! Looks good!
Looks good, what is the best method of getting the sheaths off before boiling? I have done one boiling session on my buddy's antelope due to all the other hunting seasons starting. I haven't had the opportunity to get back to it.
Looks good, i have some good goats Euro mounted, but no lower jaw. I'm not sure which I prefer, think I like them both!
Looks good Vanish. I think I may have to do a Euro on the next one myself.
I don't like them with the lower jaw entact, but that is a nice antelope.
I have done taxidermy for years and boil the sheaths in the water. Keep an eye on them and check frequently and they will come right off. Don't boil too long or they will get soft.I'm no pro on the subject, this was my first pronghorn mount. I kept the sheaths out of the water while doing a low boil and after a couple hours they pulled off with a very hard tug.
Looks awesome to me! Great job

OREGON (WIFR) -- Evergreen branches decorating Oregon's downtown were donated by the Prairie Preservation Society of Ogle County (PPSOC) and were cut and hauled by Oregon high school students and their teacher, Justin Ebert.
Branches came from trees at Sand Ridge, the former Sinnissippi cut-it-yourself tree farm on south Daysville Rd. The property was purchased in 2010 by PPSOC, a non-profit group.
For people who enjoy choosing and cutting their own tree, PPSOC will sell Christmas trees from the property for the second year. They will be open beginning Friday, November 23, the day after Thanksgiving, and ending on December 23, weekends from 9 am - 4 pm, and weekdays from 12 noon - 4 pm. Long needled trees are priced at $30 and short needled at $40.
PPSOC is glad to have donated the branches and to help with this civic endeavor.

Mustang Suspension - How To Lower Your S197 MustangWritten by Douglas R. Glad on April 1, 2011
Last month we introduced you to our '06 Mustang as part of a group of fresh project cars we are going to tinker with for your entertainment. This low-mileage GT doesn't really have any problems, so from here on out, all the work we do will be for performance and looks.
The first step is to get the stance right with the Mustang suspension. That means lowering the Mustang suspension. In the past you had to cut the springs, heat them (don't), or find an aftermarket company that has done the R&D to make the springs fit the car. The first two options will change both the ride height and spring rate, wrecking all the factory engineered handling goodness and in some cases making the coils bind and spiking the spring rate infinitely, causing you to Rob Kinnan* into a guardrail. Buying the Mustang suspension parts from Ford assures that the guys who designed the car also had a hand in the design of the upgrades. Can't get better than that. The downside is that Ford only makes two Mustang suspension kits for the coupe and one kit for the convertible, meaning you get what is offered, and no more. Although the front sway bar on this kit is adjustable, the dampers are not. Ford also only offers one spring rate, which means you really can't add or subtract rates to tune for a specific type of competition.
This kit is designed for '05 to '10 Mustang GTs. Even though the body changed in 2010, the underpinnings are identical. For a low-price, matched, entry-level kit that lowers the car correctly and gives you a handling advantage and some small amount of adjustment, you really can't go wrong.
To properly extrapolate any improvement from the data, you have to look beyond the top speed in the slalom and maximum g's on the skidpad and study the averages. Our test driver was Nick Licata from Camaro Performers magazine. His method for evaluating improvements is what he calls predictability, compliancy, and precision, where an improved vehicle is easier to control and therefore easier to repeatedly drive through the cones at high speed. This translates into performance gains on the street or racetrack. On the second track-day slalom test, the Mustang ran 6.37 three times in a row. That is a car that is dialed in.

If we are pulling off the factory stuff and junking it, that means guys who are buying the '11 GTs might be doing the same thing in the next few years. We know at least the wheels from the new 5.0 and GT500s fit on the older cars, so keep an eyeball out for castoffs.The forward adjustment is the most aggressive setting on the sway bar. The stiffest end of the car will wash out first. So if the car is understeering or pushing, this adjustment will help.The front sway bar is 35 mm, tubular, and three-way adjustable. It is the only adjustable part on the new suspension.There are actually three kits for the '05 to '10 GT Mustang. The coupe kit has either a 1- or 1.5-inch drop, depending on the look you want. The convertible pack also has a 1-inch drop, but the dampers and spring rates are slightly softer for a smoother ride. Hard-core guys use the GT kit. That's us.We haven't included much of the actual installation because the instructions from Ford are comprehensive and about the only trick to it is finding the location of the stud on the top of the rear dampers. Here it is.The brakes can be upgraded with a kit as well. This is the SVT 14-inch upgrade for the GT. It takes the stock 12.85-inch rotors to 14 inches and adds a four-piston Brembo caliper. It also includes a four-piece brake-line kit and all the little parts to make it work. To use it, you'll need a 18- or 19-inch wheel.The bolt-on strut-tower brace is for the '05 to '06 Mustang GT kit only. It will not clear the '07 to '10 engine cover.The S197 Mustang can swallow a lot of tire. In this case, adding a set of 295/30ZR19 Toyo Proxes4s on the 19x9.5-inch '11 SVT wheels was no problem with no rubbing. We think we could have easily fit a 315 in the rear.
Out on the 420-foot slalom, the car picked up a slight oversteer that we couldn't completely cure with tire pressure or repeated floggings. Out best run of the day was with only 32 psi in the rear Toyos. Our average time was in the low 6s at about 45 mph.This is the before shot on the slalom. You can see the ride height and body roll difference between this and the FRPP handling pack.

It used to be respectable, even desirable, for someone who was sneezing and coughing and spewing germs to stay home until the siege passes. Now, in a cultural turnabout that threatens us all, it has become preferable, even admirable, for people to carry on, despite their afflictions. This despite the fact that the stiff upper lip is very likely to be a viral or bacterial hot zone.

Nicely done, congrats!
Nicely done, congrats!
Thanks for comments guys.
We got in before the weather got to bad so access wasn't a problem. We camped at the wilderness boundry and only have to go in a couple miles. I called in a nice 6x7 about 400 yards from camp and my cousin missed at 35 yards. My bull was about a mile in on a big flat so it was a fairly easy pack out. We hunted the Aldo Leopold Wilderness from the west side. It was an amazing hunt we were in bulls every day. Even with all the rain and soked gear it was still my funnest hunt to date and I can't wait to draw another hola tag. Good luck to every one with up coming hunts. It's time to get ready for the deer hunt. Oh and sorry for the upside-down pictures not sure how to fix them
Great bull, congrats!

(Sports Network) - The Chicago Bulls begin their annual "circus trip"
Wednesday night when they head to the US Airways Center to battle the Phoenix
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus makes its yearly trip to the
United Center, so the Bulls play the next five on the road. They've played six
of the first seven this season at home, so picking up sky miles seems fair.
On Monday night in Chicago, the Bulls surrendered 100 points for the first
time in 15 games, dating back to last season, falling 101-95 to the Boston
"It was bad, it was really bad," said Luol Deng, who ranks second in the NBA
in minutes played in the early going this season. "They shot a high percentage
the whole game."
The Bulls still rank in the top five in the NBA in points allowed. They've
held opponents under 90 points three times this season and are 3-0 in those
contests. Chicago went 31-2 in games last season when opponents scored sub-90
Kirk Hinrich, who has been doing a decent job replacing former MVP Derrick
Rose, is sidelined with a right hip injury.
The Suns have defended their home court well this season. They are 3-1 at the
US Airways Center (the first time they've built that record at home since
2009-10), but home-court honor is about the only thing the Suns defend.
Phoenix is 29th in the league in points allowed and 28th in field-goal
percentage against. Five of the Suns' eight opponents this season have gone
for over 100 points.
The Suns have trailed by double-digits in seven of their first eight games
this season, but have won all three times that occurred at home.
On Monday, at home against the Denver Nuggets, the Suns toppled George Karl's
team, 110-100. It was the Suns' third win in their last four and seven players
scored in double-figures, including bench players Shannon Brown and Markieff
"I thought we played well. We had a lot of guys that stepped up and I thought
did some good things," said head coach Alvin Gentry. "I thought Markieff had
one of his best games of the season. Once again, Shannon Brown was good, and
Goran (Dragic) has been pretty consistent in what he's done."
Dragic has been a steady replacement for the L.A.-bound Steve Nash. Dragic is
averaging 16.6 ppg. and 7.5 apg.
The Bulls have won six of the last seven meetings as well as three straight
and four of their last five in Phoenix.

The Commission has developed a set of principles which to a large extent should shape the whole health and aged care system – public and private, hospital and community based services.
Proposed design principles (generally what we as citizens and potential patients want from the system)
- People and family centred: The direction of our health system and the provision of health services must be shaped around the health needs of individuals, their families and communities. The health system should be responsive to individual differences, cultural diversity and preferences through choice in health care. Pathways of care, currently often complex and confusing, should be easy to navigate and, where necessary, people should be given help to navigate the system including through reliable and evidence based information and advice to make appropriate choices. Care should be provided in the most favourable environment: closer to home if possible and with a preference for less 'institutional' settings and with an emphasis on supporting people to achieve their maximum health potential.
- Equity: Health care in Australia should be accessible to all based on health needs not ability to pay. The multiple dimensions of inequality should be addressed, whether related to geographic location, socio-economic status, language, culture or indigenous status. A key underpinning for equity is the principle of universality as expressed in the design of Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme and public hospital care. Addressing inequality in health access and outcomes requires action beyond these three programs, including through engagement with other policy sectors (such as the education system, and employment). The health system must recognise and respond to those with special needs (the marginalised or underprovided for groups in society). Special attention needs to be given to working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to close the gap between indigenous health status and that of other Australians.
- Shared responsibility: All Australians share responsibility for our health and the success of the health system. We each make choices about our life-style and personal risk behaviours, shaped by our physical and social circumstances, life opportunities and environment, which impact our health risks and outcomes. As a community we fund the health system. As consumers or patients we make decisions about how we will use the health system and work with the professionals who care for us. Health professionals have a responsibility to communicate clearly, to help us understand the choices available to us, and to empower us to take an active role in our treatment in a relationship of mutual respect. The health system can only work effectively if everyone participates according to these shared responsibilities, recognising and valuing the important roles of both consumers/patients and health staff.. The health system has a particularly important role in helping people of all ages become more self reliant and better able to manage their own health care needs. This includes helping people to make informed decisions through access to health information and by providing support and opportunities to make healthy choices; and by providing assistance for managing complex health needs.
- Strengthening prevention and wellness: We need a comprehensive and holistic approach to how we organise and fund our health services and work towards improving the health status of all Australians. The balance of our health system needs to be reoriented. Our health system must continue to provide access to appropriate acute and emergency services to meet the needs of people when they are sick. Balancing this fundamental purpose, our health system also needs greater emphasis on helping people stay healthy through stronger investment in wellness, prevention and early detection and appropriate intervention to maintain people in as optimal health as possible. Recognising the diverse influences on health status, our health system should create broad partnerships and opportunities for action by the government, non-government and private sectors; balance the vital role of diagnosis and treatment with action and incentives to maintain wellness; create supportive environments and policies, protect our health and prevent disease and injury in order to maximise each individual's health potential.
- Comprehensive: People have a multiplicity of different health needs which change over their life course. Meeting those needs requires a system built on a foundation of strong primary health care services, with timely access to acute and emergency services.
- Value for money: The resources available to support our health care system are finite, and the system must be run as efficiently as possible and be positioned to respond to future challenges. Delivering value for money will require appropriate local flexibility in financing, staffing and infrastructure. The health system should deliver appropriate, timely and effective care in line with the best available evidence, aiming at the highest possible quality. Information relating to the best available health evidence should be easily available to professionals and patients. Introduction of new technology should be driven by evidence and cost-effectiveness. Pathways to care should be seamless with continuity of care maximised, with systems in place to ensure a smooth transfer of information at each step of the care pathway, making effective use of information technology.
- Providing for future generations: We live in a dynamic environment and changing populations. Health needs are changing with improved life expectancy, community expectations rising, advances in health technologies, an exploding information revolution and developments in clinical practice. There are new avenues and opportunities for how we organize and provide necessary health care to individuals, using the health workforce and technologies in innovative and flexible ways. Health professionals need to be able to adapt to future health needs. The education and training of health professionals across the education continuum are a responsibility of the whole health community in partnership with the education sector. Continuing education ensures that health professionals are prepared to meet these changing needs. The important responsibility of the health care system in teaching, training future generations of health professionals for a changing health care sector and roles, participating in research and in creating new knowledge for use in Australia and throughout the world should be actively acknowledged and resourced appropriately as an integral activity. The health sector's commitment to education and research, and its relationship with the education and training sector, should be planned and implemented in a logical and seamless way involving all relevant sectors: public and private, institutional and community.
- Recognise broader environmental influences shape our health: Our environment plays an important role in affecting our health and in helping us to make sensible decisions about our health. The environment here is taken to mean the global climate, the physical and built environment (air quality, the workplace, planning decisions which affect our health) and the socio-economic environment (people in the workforce generally have better health than the unemployed, better educated people have better health and have responded better to health campaigns and tend to smoke less). Peers and family shape both our health (and development of our children) and our adoption of healthy lifestyles. The health system of the future needs to work at these multiple levels to promote health with many and varying agencies and partnerships. These partnerships must be effective and with players outside the health system, whether they be transport departments, local councils, employers, business and worker organisations, and schools and universities.

Governance principles (generally how the health system should work)
- Taking the long term view: A critical function for effective governance of the health system is that it acts strategically: that short-termism and the pressure of the acute does not crowd out attention and planning for the long term. A responsible forward-looking approach demands that we actively monitor and plan the health system of the future to respond to changing demographics and health needs, clinical practices and societal influences. This requires capacity to seek input from the community and those within the health sector (providers and managers), to assess evidence and develop and implement plans to improve health and health care.
- Safety and quality: There should be effective systems of clinical governance at all levels of the health system, to ensure we learn from mistakes and to improve the safety and quality of services. The first step in ensuring effective clinical governance is that there is a culture that embraces improvement in patient safety and quality. This includes an emphasis on open, transparent reporting. There must be a just and positive culture in dealing with adverse events, mistakes and near misses. All of this requires the development of effective organisational systems that promote safety and quality, including appropriate systems of open disclosure and public accountability for the whole system.
- Transparency and accountability: The decisions governments, other funders and providers make in managing our health care system should become clearer and more transparent. Funding should be transparent. The responsibilities of the Commonwealth and state governments and the private and non-government sectors should all be clearly delineated so when expectations are not met, it is clear where accountability falls. Accountability extends to individual health services and health professionals. Australians are entitled to regular reports on the status, quality and performance of our whole health care system, both public and private, ranging across the spectrum from primary to tertiary care and at local, state and national levels.
- Public voice: Public participation is important to ensuring a viable, responsive and effective health care system. Participation can and should occur at multiple levels, reflecting the different roles that individuals play at different times in their lives. This includes participation as a 'patient' or family member in using health care services, participation as a citizen and community member in shaping decisions about the organisation of health services, and participation as a taxpayer, voter, and in some cases shareholder, in holding governments and corporations accountable for improving the health system.
- A respectful, ethical system: Our health care system must apply the highest ethical standards, and must recognize the worth and dignity of the whole person including their biological, emotional, physical, psychological, cultural, social and spiritual needs. A significant focus must include respect and valuing of the health workforce. Those working within the health sector must be aware of ethical considerations throughout their training and in their daily clinical practice.
- Responsible spending on health: Good management should ensure that resources flow effectively to the front line of care, with accountability requirements efficiently implemented and red tape and wastage minimised. Funding mechanisms should reward best practice models of care, rather than models of care being inappropriately driven by funding mechanisms. Funding systems should be designed to promote continuity of care with common eligibility and access requirements to avoid program silos or 'cracks' in the health system. There should be a balanced and effective use of both public and private resources. New technologies should be evaluated in a timely manner, and where shown to be cost effective, should be implemented promptly and equitably. Information and communication technologies, in particular, should be harnessed to improve access in rural and remote areas on a cost effective basis, to support and extend the capacity of all health professionals to provide high quality care.
- A culture of reflective improvement and innovation: Reform, improvement and innovation are continuous processes and not fixed term activities. The Australian health system should foster innovation, research and sharing of practices shown to be effective and to improve not only the specific services it provides, but also the health of all Australians. Audit, quality feedback loops and 'Plan, Do, Study, Act' cycles, supported by information and communication technologies, can enable and drive this. The continuum of basic science, to clinical and health services research will underpin this and needs to be embedded.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - The phrase "That's so Metro" has become
prevalent to a point in which the average American soccer fan is familiar with
the idiom despite having no emotional ties to the Red Bull New York franchise.
For the layperson, "That's so Metro" is a meme that's been bandied about for
some time to underline New York's penchant for underachievement in its 18-year
existence, dating back to its inaugural season when the club was known as the
New York/New Jersey MetroStars.
Nicola Caricola conceding an own in the dying seconds of the club's first-ever
home match to gift the New England Revolution a 1-0 victory in 1996: That's so
Metro. Entering its 18th season as the only original MLS club without a major
trophy: That's so Metro. Rafa Marquez: So incredibly Metro.
The Metro-ness manifested itself in the Red Bulls' Eastern Conference playoff
series against the Houston Dynamo, starting with the opening leg at BBVA
Compass Stadium on Sunday. New York held a two-goal advantage only to concede
two second-half goals to the Dynamo, erasing all of the good work the visitors
had done to build a comfortable advantage to that point.
The draw set up a must-win match at home for Wednesday's second leg, and it
was going swimmingly after Bradley Wright-Phillips pounced on a rebound
conceded by Tally Hall in the 23rd minute and slotted home the loose ball from
close range.
But a misplaced pass from a visibly injured Ibrahim Sekagya nine minutes
before halftime gifted Brad Davis a free shot on goal from 12 yards out, which
he took with great aplomb to equalize for the Dynamo. It was a moment that
encapsulated everything there is to know about a frustrated fan base starved
for MLS Cup glory.
Houston went on to claim a 2-1 win (4-3 on aggregate) in extra time, dashing
New York's realistic hopes of hosting - and hoisting - its first-ever MLS Cup.
What made the Red Bulls' defeat all the more somber was that they dominated
play from the opening whistle, outshooting the Dynamo 23-9 on the night.
"We didn't finish," Red Bulls head coach Mike Petke said after the match. "I
think we were a bit off on our crossing, our passing. I think we were a bit
too urgent for most of the night instead of calming the match down. At the end
of the day, they did what they had to do to come in here and get a result. And
our hats are off to Houston."
But while New York's hangover will be one of sorrow in the wake of Sekagya's
early holiday gift to the Dynamo and the club's inability to convert a
plethora of scoring opportunities, the legacy of the 2013 season should be
remembered as anything but Metro.
The Red Bulls finally broke their long-awaited silverware drought this season
by finishing atop the overall MLS table to clinch the Supporters' Shield. That
it was achieved under a first-year head coach, a man who is just three years
removed from an entirely domestic 13-season playing career, is even more
Petke opined that the Red Bulls were victims of their own errors in isolated
incidents, something that would cost any team dearly in a playoff format.
"It was individual mistakes, and they happen," Petke said. "That happens a lot,
and it happens to everybody. A missed crossed, a bad touch. Whereas I don't
think we saw (much) of that during the year, as in years past, it seems to have
crept up on us in the playoffs."
Therein lies the overriding point. With two separated prizes awarded over the
course of an MLS season, a club can attain a piece of silverware by either
being the best team over eight months (Supporters' Shield) or five weeks (MLS
Cup). Mistakes are magnified in the MLS Cup playoffs due to the small timeframe
of the competition, which is why New York's compounded errors over the two-
legged series with Houston cost the club.
But that does not take away from the fact the Red Bulls achieved a major feat
this season by winning the Supporters' Shield. They were the best team in the
league for the longest period of time, and no postseason misfire can erase
the club's name on the Shield.
And with a strong nucleus of veteran talent and a budding coach that
understands the MLS landscape at the helm, perhaps it's time that a new phrase
is coined in Harrison, N.J.: So not Metro.

Blair Waldorf
this wiki
- "Have a little faith, and if that doesn't work, have a lot of mimosas."
- —Blair
Blair Cornelia Bass (née Waldorf) is the main character in the Gossip Girl series of novels and its television adaption, in which she is portrayed by Leighton Meester.
Blair is regarded as the "Queen Bee" of the Upper East Side. Her husband and love of her life is Chuck Bass, and her best friend is Serena Van Der Woodsen. She is also good friends with Nate Archibald and Dan Humphrey.
Appearance and Style
Blair is considered the most glamorous and beautiful person in the Upper East Side. She is the daughter of a successful fashion designer, Eleanor Waldorf, which contributes to her notable fashion sense. In the novel series, she is described as a striking brunette, and never loses her position as Queen Bee. Amidst Season 2 of the TV series, she was voted the most beautiful female lead by readers of Glamour.com.[1] Additionally, her wardrobe continually garnered real-life acclaim during the early seasons.Though naturally beautiful, and much-admired, Blair, being an overachiever, enjoys making an effort to catch eyes, often wearing classic, Audrey Hepburn-inspired designer clothes. At times, she also feels challenged by her friend Serena, the similarly admired former Queen Bee. This sometimes creates a comical paranoia in Blair, leading to questions of perception versus reality. However, it is ultimately Blair who remains Queen Bee of the social scene, both during Serena's absence and after her return, in each version of Gossip Girl. How to Dress like Blair.
"There's only one queen bitch in this town and that's me"
-Blair Waldorf
"That girl is fiercely strong. Independent. Outspoken. Beautiful. Capable of anything...and no man or magazine should be able to take that away from her."
-Dan Humphrey
Despite leading a privileged and prominent lifestyle, Blair is generally characterized as a comical overachiever. At times, Blair's ambition can lead her to embrace a haughty and scheming side. Generally speaking, Blair is ruled by her insecurities, despite a confident exterior, usually caused by her feeling inferior to Serena. While she's regarded as being extremely knowledgeable, Blair seldom leaves success to chance, or to her own talents, and usually works to sabotage her competition. Typically, Blair finds rivals in most females, including (and sometimes especially) Serena, her best friend. A result of this insecurity, Blair does not trust easily, and when she does is always tremendously hurt when she feels betrayed. However, despite her manipulative and often ruthless behavior, she is revealed to have a sensitive and loving nature as well.This side is revealed time and time again especially when Blair must come to the defense of someone she cares about. Notably, this protective, warm side is evoked by Serena or Chuck. Blair also seldom gives up on those that she cares about, as evidenced when Chuck was grieving his father's death and she continually came to his aid, even when rebuffed. Romantically speaking, Blair generally finds herself conflicted by her own expected desires and what she truly wants. With the exception of Chuck (and Dan in season 5), Blair almost always pursues relationships with men who offer a status symbol (Nate having been a handsome Archibald, or the royal titles that accompanied Lord Marcus or Prince Louis). Despite her social-climbing agenda within her love-life, Blair seems happiest when she has someone to spar with, and is usually at her best with a romantic partner who challenges her.
Novel Series
In the novel series Gossip Girl Blair Waldorf is the daughter of Harold Waldorf , a rich lawyer and Eleanor Waldorf , a wealthy heiress from an Upper East Side family. Blair's father was caught cheating on Eleanor with another man named Giles, which caused Eleanor to divorce him. Harold soons moves to France with Giles, leaving Eleanor and Blair on the Upper East Side. Blair grew up being best friends with Serena Van der Woodsen and Nate Archibald . Soon Blair's mother meets a guy named Cyrus Rose , a rich architect. Blair can not stand Cyrus and wishes he and his son Aaron Rose would just disappear from their lives. But unfortunately for Blair, Cyrus and Eleanor get married and soon get pregnant with a little girl named Yale(Blair's choice). Blair is dating Nate Archibald in the first book until she finds out Serena slept with him, making her angry at both of them. She soons lets the anger go by book two and the three are all friends again. Later down the line Blair gets in her dream school Yale University and graduates. While in college she briefly dates Chuck Bass but it ends quickly. At the end of the series she and Serena are at odds when they both date Nate until they both decide to let him go and move on with their lives. Blair loves shopping at Barney's, Bendel's, and Bergdorf's. She and her father both love shoes, their favorite designer is Christian Louboutin. She loves Audrey Hepburn and her favorite movies are Breakfast at Tiffany's and Roman Holiday.

Season 2At the launch of the second season, Blair was described by creators as the queen at the center of the Gossip Girl chess game.A large portion of her story line in Season 2 revolves around her love-hate relationship with Chuck Bass, which was labeled "the heart of GG" by People magazine. While competing with Serena, Blair forms an unexpected friendship with Jenny, who states that they each work for everything they achieve, while Serena often glides through life. During their interviews at Yale University, Blair and Serena apologize for their ill feelings and resume their friendship. In the episode "O Brother, Where Bart Thou?", Chuck is devastated by news of his father's death, prompting Blair to offer her support while telling Chuck that she loves him. He initially shuns her advances, but later turns to her for comfort.However, the two stop seeing each other due to Chuck's uncle, Jack Bass, convincing him he has an inability to commit to a relationship. After being rejected by Yale, Blair finds unexpected encouragement from Nate. After being recommended by her step-father Cyrus, she applies to New York University, and is accepted. When Georgina finds out that Blair is attending the same college as her in the following year, their competitive relationship renewed.
As the season ends, Blair crowns Jenny the new queen of Constance Billard School. In the season finale, it is discovered that Blair slept with Chuck's uncle Jack and that Chuck had slept with Vanessa Abrams. Chuck then departs for Europe. He later returns to New York and reconciles with Blair while declaring his love for her, and the two finally begin a committed relationship.
Season 3In the third season, Blair joins Vanessa, Georgina, and Jenny's brother Dan at NYU. Much of her story line concerns her inability to attain her previous status at her new school. She finds emotional support from her mother, as well as Chuck. However, she and Chuck separate once again when Blair feels that he manipulated her while competing with his uncle.
She later transfers to Columbia University, and learns that an emotionally reformed Chuck was responsible for her enrollment. They later team up as part of a role-playing scheme to help Serena's mother and Chuck's adopted mother, Lily. In the season finale, Chuck attempts to propose to Blair, but is interrupted by Dan, who reveals that Chuck had slept with Jenny. Two weeks later, Blair and Serena depart for Paris intending to spend the summer together.
Season 4In Season 4, Blair and Chuck become competitive once again, but eventually resume their sexual relations before recognizing their love for one another. When the relationship interferes with their business interests, she and Chuck break up once more. Chuck promises he'll wait for her, and both affirm their belief that their love will reunite them in the end.
Blair then teams up with Dan when the two share common goals. They also end up working together at W. magazine, where friction develops between the two.On Valentine's Day, she discovers that Chuck has romantic feelings for Raina Thorpe, the daughter of his business rival. Later, she and Dan spend the evening talking on their cell phones while watching Rosemary's Baby. Blair later quits W. and is shown asleep with Dan in his Brooklyn flat. Later, upon growing curious of their feelings for one another, Blair and Dan share a kiss before the mid-season hiatus.
Blair eventually decides that she wants to be with Chuck, but shuns him once again after he tries to humiliate Dan.She is later courted by a prince from Monaco named Louis. During a private confrontation, a drunken Chuck punches a window after he finds out Prince Louis has proposed to Blair, which cuts Blair's face as it shatters. Afterward, Blair chooses to accept a proposal from Louis. Blair later attempts to warn Chuck about potential trouble in his family. She is then abducted by an enemy of the Basses, Raina's father Russell Thorpe. Chuck later rescues Blair and apologizes for his violent actions. Following a night out together, the two have sex before Chuck advises Blair to return to Louis, believing that she will be happier with him. However, the season ends with the revelation that Blair may be pregnant.
Season 5In the fifth season premiere, Blair continues to plan her wedding, but begins to encounter problems in her relationship with Louis. It is later revealed that she is pregnant. Blair tells Chuck that the child is Louis', and states that part of her wanted Chuck to be the father. Dan becomes Blair's confidante and is shown to be in love with her, though she remains oblivious to his feelings and states that there is nothing more than friendship between them.
Though she insists that she is in love with Louis, Blair begins to seek Chuck out as the season progresses. The two eventually declare their love for each other prior to a car accident. Though both recover, Blair suffers a miscarriage from the crash. At the wedding, Gossip Girl releases a recording of Blair confessing her love for Chuck. Nevertheless, Louis and Blair get married, though Louis informs her that they will have a loveless marriage of convenience. She then receives support from Dan, leading them to share a kiss on Valentine's Day. Amidst these developments, Blair grows conflicted between her feelings for Dan and Chuck. After taking steps to end her marriage, she chooses to begin a romantic relationship with Dan. By the end of the season, however, after a debate about which love is the best—with Dan she feels safe, with Chuck she feels vulnerable—Blair declares that she is still in love with Chuck, and chooses to pursue him.
Season 6In the final season, Blair resumes her romantic relationship with Chuck, while Chuck and his father Bart—who is revealed to be alive in the previous season—become bitter rivals. Blair pursues her career as head of Waldorf Designs, with several mishaps, before staging a successful line. In the penultimate episode, Bart falls to his death while trying to attack Chuck atop a building. Afterward, Blair and Chuck depart together. In the series finale, Blair marries Chuck which results in her not having to testify against him in his father's murder case. Five years later, Blair is shown to be running her mother's successful fashion line and she works with Jenny in a line called "J for Waldorf", she and Chuck are seen to be happily married with a 4 year old son named Henry, suggesting that Chuck got Blair pregnant a few months after they married.

Hobbies / Skills
- Charity/ Fundraising Work - Blair has been shown to be involved in numerous fundraising events because she comes from a wealthy family, and she cares about having a good reputation.Even though she mainly participates in these events / groups to benefit her status, she still makes an effort and succeeds.She is the chair of the community outreach committee.It's revealed that she would like to spend her time helping children's charities.

Blair is very spoiled brat and snobbish but can often be a smart and jealous character with a sensitive side that manages to grab the hearts of many when she is featured on the TV show. Blair is a little bit of everything being innocent and slutty, stupid and smart, ugly and pretty and young and old all at the same time. She is 'the centre of the Gossip Girl chess game' and involved in most of the love triangles on the show.
Serena & Blair's Friendship
Although Blair is the queen bee of Manhattan's social scene she is the character than you often feel sorry for as she is best friends with Serena Van der Woodsen, who manages to steal her limelight and boyfriend. In Season One Blair tries to mend her relationship with Nate, but Serena always seems to get in the way. This is the same again when Blair's Mom chooses Serena over her own daughter (Blair) to be the model for the release of her new fashion line as it goes public. Their friendship is based around competitiveness for boys, popularity and beauty, with Serena usually coming out on top. Despite this Blair's perception of Serena often exaggerates her beauty as in the books it talks about them being equally as hot and pretty. This struggle for power often causes great upset for Blair and creates anger and distance between her and Serena.
Fashion & School
Due to the fact that her Mom is a fashion designer she has a range of styles, some inspired by famous actresses such as Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe (which are Blair's favourites) ,but mostly it focuses on the preppy-sexy look which she can always effortlessly pull off. In unison with this Blair is focused on school and strives to get the best SATs scores possible, but unfortunately does not get into Yale, her dream school. This is a surprise to her as she does more extra curriculars than most teens and is a comical over achiever in all aspects of school life.
Love Life
Her one true love throughout the TV series is Chuck Bass, the rather rebellious, but handsome best friend of Nate Archibald. As she previously dated Nate 'since Kindergarten' this causes upset, but Nate manages to move on. Chuck and Blair's relationship is a rather bumpy and frustrating one, they both love each other, but refuse to be together as they feel they don't suit. Chuck also struggles to commit to Blair which also makes things difficult for the two of them. They share an unusual love-hate relationship, but as all good love stories should they manage to work things out. Another prominent love interest of Blair's is Prince Louis who she falls pregnant with, but later loses the baby. She originally loved the idea of being a princess, but realises there are sacrifices she must make and gets stuck in a sticky situation. Unusually she also dates Dan for a small period of time, but as she becomes stuck in another love triangle she chooses Chuck over him.
Scheming and Plotting
Blair Waldorf is also known as the queen on scheme, along with Chuck Bass as her accomplice. She manages to embarrass and frame most of her friends throughout the series with her clever tricks and unpredictable and dramatic moves. Due to the fact she is sneaky and often gets others to do her dirty work she often comes out on top and usually gets what she wants.
Control Freak
There is a mean streak in her though, in the majority of Season One Jenny Humphrey acts as her slave and she bosses her minions around just as much until they all finally turn against her. As she wins them back she treats them exactly the same again, not learning from her mistakes which is a surprise for Blair. She may always seem that she is on top, but underneath she is insecure about her social status. This anxiety creates flaws in her character causing her to lash out and hurt others.
Most of her more evil actions can be blamed on the many hardships and betrayals she has endured and like most of the characters on Gossip Girl it is many. A few key examples are Serena sleeping with her boyfriend; Nate, her Dad being gay and divorcing her Mom, losing her baby in a car crash, Chuck sleeping with Jenny, her Mom barely being at home, struggling from previous bulimia problems, constantly being second best and the perpetual scrutiny from Gossip Girl. Although Blair seems to have the wrong motives, her evil actions stem from the pressure and stress of her lifestyle and like so many others in her positions she struggles to cope at times.

Displacement in Libya: Humanitarian Priorities

|Khalid Koser
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
To be sure, the scale of displacement has subsided considerably, but some of the most challenging work remains in the weeks, months and years ahead.
At its peak during the first week of March some 77,000 people crossed the Libyan border into Egypt and around 1,000 people per hour were crossing the border into Tunisia, according to Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) statistics. Today cross-border movements out of Libya are minimal as solutions have been found for many of those displaced: around 60,000 migrant workers have been evacuated from Libya or neighboring countries to some 30 countries of origin worldwide, ranging from Bosnia-Herzegovina to Vietnam; while 144,000 of the 172,873 Libyans who entered Egypt have since returned home, as have the majority of the 321,830 who arrived in Tunisia. Boat arrivals in Lampedusa, Sicily and in Malta also appear to have stopped, though not before two boats capsized with the loss of at least five hundred lives. Still, significant displaced populations remain in a vulnerable situation and require international protection and assistance. UNHCR estimates that there are around 200,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Eastern Libya, around 58,000 of them in IDP settlements and camps. A proportion of IDPs in Libya may be migrant workers who have become stranded en route to border crossings. Another category of concern is around 3,500 asylum seekers and 8,000 refugees registered by UNHCR in Libya before the uprising, the majority from Iraq, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Palestine, Somalia and Sudan. It remains unclear what has happened to these people or what their status is. Some may indeed be asylum seekers and refugees who had been registered in Libya, but others may be migrant workers – and in particular irregular migrants – who have crossed the border and subsequently claimed asylum. What is clear is that the full case load of asylum seekers and refugees registered in Libya remains unaccounted for and that there is still a significant IDP population as well.
Immediate-, medium- and long-term actions are required to deal with this ongoing humanitarian crisis, and to stop it escalating.
In the immediate-term, the humanitarian priority is to fill the gaps in protection and assistance identified above. In response to ongoing protection needs for IDPs in Libya, UNHCR has recently announced a series of training workshops on the rights of IDPs for the Department of Justice of the Transitional National Council in Libya, and in collaboration with Mercy Corps, for the Libyan Red Crescent Society. UNHCR continues to provide support to the asylum seekers, refugees and others of concern to the agency in camps on the borders, although it has warned of a funding shortfall of some USD 30 million that may affect these operations. Most of the refugees on the border are from countries such as Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan where they cannot easily be returned, and so UNHCR is focusing its efforts on finding resettlement options for them in third countries. In an effort to try to support registered refugees and asylum seekers in Libya, national staff has kept open the UNHCR office in Tripoli and established a hotline, but UNHCR reckons that thousands of registered refugees and asylum seekers do not have any form of access to the office. Between them, International Organization for Migration and UNHCR are processing the 'boat people' who have arrived in Lampedusa and Malta in order to try to identify those with a genuine claim for refugee status or other forms of international protection. Continued collaboration between international and local agencies will be needed to respond to the immediate humanitarian needs.
A medium-term priority is to prepare for the possibility of further displacement, especially from Libya, but also potentially from Syria and other countries affected by the Arab Spring. Evacuating the relatively few remaining migrant workers on the Egyptian and Tunisian borders is considered a priority in order both to avoid the development of a humanitarian crisis there and to free up space for potential new arrivals. Equally important is to encourage Egypt and Tunisia to keep their borders open to people in search of safety from the conflicts. More pressure may be required on others of Libya's neighbors to allow access for migrants fleeing the crisis across their borders. There are legitimate reasons for safeguarding EU borders against a large-scale influx, through enhanced surveillance, maritime operations and border controls. But the quid pro quo is the need to support the capacity of Libya's immediate neighbours, and other potential receiving countries in the region, to process asylum applications, protect refugee, and support migrants. If very significant numbers of those migrant workers who remain in Libya go home, some of their countries of origin may also require support to reintegrate them. These measures would be of immediate importance, but are likely to require years to come to full fruition.
Looking to the future, it will also be necessary to prepare for the return of IDPs within Libya. Problems commonly experienced by returning IDPs include regaining access to their property, reissuing lost personal documentation, reuniting families that may have become divided during displacement, supporting the reestablishment of livelihoods and in some cases providing for reconciliation between those who were displaced and those who were not. If the crisis in Libya is resolved soon, many of the evacuated migrant workers can also be expected to try to return, raising logistical challenges concerning entry visas, work permits and access to jobs.
The longer-term displacement-related priority in the Middle East and North Africa is not to react to the current or potential displacement effects of the Arab Spring, but proactively to address the underlying causes for high levels of emigration from the region. This includes supporting democracy and the rule of law, promoting education and encouraging employment-generation.

You should change all the old 2-prong plugs in the Purdy/Kresge Library to 3-prong plugs. Those have been a standard longer than I've been alive and all laptops require a 3-prong outlet to run off of current and recharge batteries. This only seems to be a problem in Purdy/Kresge and even there some of the plus have been upgraded to 3-prong.
This is a very good suggestion. When library facilities manager and the computer support team manager read it, they put their full support behind it. They are now seeking funding to upgrade these outlets. The work has not yet been scheduled, but the replacement of the two-prong plugs with three-prong plugs on the first floor of the Purdy/Kresge Library should be forthcoming. More information about this will be posted to this blog as it becomes available.
The old two-prong plugs in the first floor study areas of the Purdy/Kresge Library were converted to three-prong plugs during December 2007 and were ready for use at the beginning of the Winter 2008 semester.

GREENVILLE, N.C. --- The 2012-13 East Carolina men's basketball schedule features 17 regular season home games and a first-ever visit to Chapel Hill announced third-year head coach Jeff Lebo Monday. The Pirates will play 13 games against teams that competed in post-season play a year ago, including NCAA Tournament participants Memphis, Norfolk State, North Carolina and Southern Miss.
The Pirates and Tar Heels' Dec. 15 meeting will be just the third game between the instate rivals on the hardwood and first regular season matchup since 1953. The two teams last met during the First Round of the 1993 NCAA East Regional in Winston-Salem with UNC posting an 85-65 victory en route to the national championship. The only prior contest occurred in Greenville on Jan. 6, 1953 at Christenbury Gym, which resulted in a 79-66 Tar Heel win.
"Coach [Roy] Williams has been very gracious to play at other places I've been and was all for it here as well," Lebo said. "This is a marquee game for us and one that our kids will be very excited to play."
ECU will open the season with a four-game homestand and conclude the 2012 calendar year with a three-game homestand over the Holiday break. The Pirates' non-conference home schedule includes a pair of Big South and Southern Conference opponents as well its first-ever game against Norfolk State, who knocked out No. 2 seed Missouri in the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
The regular-season tips-off Saturday, Nov. 10 as the Pirates host Washington and Lee followed by games against Methodist College (Nov. 13), UNC Greensboro (Nov. 16) and Appalachian State (Nov. 20) to conclude the homestand.
ECU will play its first of four non-conference road games Nov. 26 in Atlanta against Georgia State, a 2012 Collegeinsider.com Tournament participant, before heading to Charlotte to battle the 49ers five days later. The Pirates will close out the 2012 fall semester against St. Andrews (Dec. 4) before beginning their post-exam slate against North Carolina.
East Carolina will host Gardner-Webb (Dec.18) and travel to UMass (Dec. 22), which reached the semifinals of the 2012 NIT, before heading home for Christmas. Its first game back will be against Norfolk State (Dec. 29) with games against Campbell (Jan. 2) and N.C. Wesleyan (Jan. 5) to close out the non-conference portion of the schedule.
"Our biggest challenge this year will be on the interior," Lebo stated. "We've got a lot of inexperienced players on the inside, so how those guys do early will have an impact on how successful we will be."
Conference USA play begins for the Pirates on Wednesday, Jan. 9 as they make their final visit to the FedExForum to take on Memphis. ECU will receive visits from UCF (Jan. 12), Houston (Jan. 16), UTEP (Jan. 26) and Memphis (Jan. 30) during the first month of league play with trips to Marshall (Jan. 19) and UAB (Jan. 23).

ECU will head to Rice (Feb. 2) and UCF (Feb. 9) before hosting UAB (Feb. 13) and Southern Miss (Feb. 16).

My almost 5 year old daughter (my oldest) is showing interest in shooting a bow and has asked numerous times to shoot one. Unfortunately I don't have a bow that will fit her. My wife picked up one of the less expensive long bows with a couple fiberglass arrows and she enjoys shooting it but she does wonder why she cant hit the target as well as dad does.
I'm not a long bow shooter and have always shot a compound so I find it difficult to instruct on aiming a long bow and if form should be any different from a compound.
I would like to get her a compound bow that I can install sights and a rest on but most of the bows that I find are either to heavy for her or have a draw weight that is too high. Anyone have thoughts or feedback on the subject of a bow for introducing a young archer to shooting a bow with?
