Background on BRAC and BRAC Uganda
BRAC (Building Resources Across Communities) is a development organization that began operations in Bangladesh as a small-scale relief and rehabilitation project in 1972 to help the country overcome the devastation and trauma of the liberation war and focused on resettling refugees returning from India. Today, BRAC has emerged as an independent, virtually self-financed paradigm in sustainable human development. It is one of the largest Southern development organizations employing over 100,000 people, 61% of which are women, and working with the twin objectives of poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor. Diagnosing poverty in human terms and recognizing its multifaceted nature, BRAC approaches poverty alleviation with a holistic approach.
The successes of BRAC in the international development arena have stimulated a series of discussions, both with African delegations, who have visited BRAC programs, and with donors who work in Asia and Africa. Both the African countries and the donors have encouraged BRAC to join the development campaign in Africa to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and more recently to join the campaign of "ending poverty", which is an area where Africa represents the greatest global challenge.
In Uganda, BRAC registered as a Non Government Organization (NGO) in January 2006 to undertake programs in Education, Health, Water & Sanitation, Agriculture & Livestock and Microfinance. The Microfinance and Education are the pioneer programs launched in Uganda and, as of July 2007, had served 21,273 borrowers and enrolled 1,155 adolescents in its education program.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

The first step to healthy and glowing skin is an effective yet gentle cleansing. Jurlique Cleansers are an important step for both the face and body. While many cleansing products contain harsh detergents which can strip the natural moisture out of the skin and causing drying, irritation and even redness, Jurlique Cleansers are specially formulated to be gentle. Jurlique Cleansers thoroughly remove excess oils, makeup, dirt and impurities from the skin while leaving it calm and balanced. Jurlique Cleansers are inspired by nature and rely on natural botanicals to soothe, soften and freshen the skin.
Jurlique Cleansers for the face rid the pores and skin surface of everything that can cloud a pretty complexion. There are Jurlique Cleansers for all skin types, geared towards specific issues and conditions. Jurlique Cleansers are designed to purify the skin while leaving it in the perfect state to accept active ingredients from moisturizers and treatment products. Always apply your products immediately after cleansing.
Jurlique Cleansers for the body are a pleasure to use in the shower. The fragrant gels contain nourishing botanicals and aromatic properties that stimulate the senses and get you going in the morning. Jurlique Cleansers are a fabulous way to start the day. Make sure you follow with a body moisturizer from Jurlique. This will help seal in moisture and prevent dryness.

Jurlique Purifying Foaming Cleanser is ideal for skin that is oily, congested and prone to blemishes. This cleanser is very effective at dissolving sebum and purifying the pores. Witch hazel is a natural astringent and helps to tighten the pores. Antioxidants protect the skin from environmental damage while calendula helps calm the skin and reduce irritation.

After a thorough cleansing, moisturizers and treatment products, including treatment products for acne, can be applied to the skin.

wow you're about seven years behind
I've actually had it but never got around to making a non sucky screen name.
I have a very original username of course :)
except I've had people call me Maxi Pad on AIM before, which pissed me off.
Prove it.
many people do not understand the complexity of this name. Let's break it down:
maxis - the creating company of the Sims games
Sim - why the Sims of course
guy - just an added word to imply that I am human
and of course one s is subtracted to make it a terribly original and thoughtful name
Not really that complex if you've seen the game.
i probably have the best aim name on the forum
toomanynamesaret? YEAH ITS AWESOMELY AWESOME
i know it is. it dosnt have numbers, is interesting, and if you could see the entire intended name(toomanynamesaretaken) it would be very clever. as far as screen names go its at least ****3/4

Winter time drags on around us. By now the newness of this season has worn off and any holiday that doesn't make me feel absolutely horrible (I'm looking at YOU Valentine's day) has passed.
What is to look forward to in February? I ask that as a full blown Aquarius whose birthday is in February. It's a long haul through the rest of January and February until maybe we can get some hope for spring.
On top of that, this winter is predicted to be just as bad, if not worse than last winter. Thanks a lot, La Nina! If only had I something to distract me.
Something or some man. Some man with a beard.
Maybe it's just me, but I find myself more attracted to men with beards in the winter time. Perhaps it is the misguided belief that they will provide extra warmth while snuggling? Or maybe it's because they look like a lumberjack I imagine is bringing me logs for my fireplace. Not that I have one, but if I did, I would want one of these incredibly good looking bearded men to curl up next to and keep me warm.
For the record, I have nothing against Ryan Gosling. I think he is as handsome and as talented as humanly possible. I just wanted to give everybody options. I'm sure Ryan is cool with spreading the wealth. He'd probably be all like:
"Hey girl. I know you're attracted to men with beards because you think they can protect you, but really only you can protect you."
You can find more here and here on tumblr blogs devoted to cute guys with beards.

My teaching philosophy can be broadly described as "Education for Thinking". My goal is for students to not only examine what is currently known, but to also discover and dissect the theoretical and epistemological frameworks under which the alleged facts have been discovered. I believe it is important for students to view information within a framework of alternatives so that they can evaluate the strength of claims for themselves. To guide students towards this end, I engage students in actively understanding and critiquing presented knowledge, and in constructing new knowledge. In am continually aware of the diversity in people's experiences, and therefore attempt to create a learning atmosphere where students with a variety of learning and assessment styles can benefit. My teaching consists of a variety of mediums, including lecture, small group discussion, debate, and group projects. Throughout all of these formats, I try to get students to connect what is being learned to their lives. It is my hope that students in my class not only leave with a broad understanding of the content being taught, but also of the ways in which social science affects the world in which we live.

BIS 498 Senior Seminar: Adolescents as Decision makers
BISSEB 333 Individual & Society
Much of my research has been dedicated to developing a developmentally appropriate and comprehensive approach to health promotion and risk prevention among adolescents. Specifically, my interest has focused on the decisions adolescents make that place them at risk for a lifetime of economic and health disparities. For the past several years, I have worked on identifying and developing the reasoning skills underlying adolescent decision-making. My work has focused less on solitary cognitive processes involved in decision-making, and more on adolescents' informal reasoning in social settings.
More recently I have begun to engage in researcher/community collaborations adapting effective evidence-based interventions for socially and academically at-risk adolescents living in impoverished communities. Ultimately, my goals are to a) understand the processes by which adolescents negotiate risky situations with peers, b) incorporate these insights into existing interventions, and c) work toward ensuring that effective interventions are adopted and implemented by creating interventions that consider, respect and reflect the values of the various communities for which they are created.

text: By LaDonna SwedbergSports Writer The Wildcats continued their two game a week pace as they faced the Brady Eagles and the Hayes Center Cardinals last week. Both games saw the Wildcats experience some ups and downs which made for a battle up to the final buzzer and two different endings.Wallace 55, Brady 62 Wallace traveled to Brady on Tuesday to compete against a tough Brady team. The Cats had a difficult time getting things going in the game; with the quarter more than half over, Lane Scott was the only player that had made a basket. John Marquardt changed the look a bit when he drove in for a basket which he got to add a free throw to and then he was on the receiving end of a fast break for another quick bucket. Before the quarter came to an end, Shane Anders added a put back and Jose Arvizo drained a three-pointer to bring the first quarter score to 17-12, Wildcats trailing. The shooting woes carried over into the second quarter for Wallace, shots were just not falling; Brady on the other hand was getting everything to go. The Wildcats had to play tough defense to stay in the game. Scott, Swedberg and Marquardt each scored four points in the quarter and Josh Grauerholz scored two but that was all they could get on the board. The good news was that Wallace was able to hold Brady to just 14 points as well so they went to the locker room maintaining their five point lead with a score of 31-26. The frustrations the Wildcats experienced in the first half increased in the third period, 10 points was all they could add to their score. Grauerholz added three points to the books, Hayden Woodcox, Shane Anders and Collin Swedberg each had a basket and Landon Swedberg had a free throw. Wallace saved their best for last putting up 19 points in the final quarter. After a Marquardt free throw, Collin Swedberg turned a steal into two points. Shane Anders then scored two of his six points. Landon Swedberg combined a couple free throws, a jumper and three-pointer for his seven points, Lane Scott added a couple free throws and Taylor Doell had one. The Wildcats came up short falling to the Eagles 62-55. The leaders in scoring were Landon Swedberg with 12, John Marquardt and Shane Anders with 10 and Lane Scott with eight.Wallace 55, Hayes Center 51 Friday Wallace traveled to Hayes Center for the second meeting this season. The Wildcats' shooting issues made the trip as well, once again they struggled getting points on the board. Taylor Doell got a long jumper to fall and then made a three-pointer early in the game but the rest of the points came from short jumpers in the lane. In spite of their shooting trials, the Wildcats were only down 26-25 at half time. The Hayes Center game very much resembled the Brady game in that the third quarter was low scoring for Wallace but the final quarter they out scored their opponent; this time for a different result. Wallace not only stepped up the offense but they also found a way to slow the Cardinals down with their defense. The Wildcats still had to rely on their inside game to score but their shooting percentage improved, thus, more points. The other positive in the second half was free throw shooting. Wallace scored nine points from free throws which was the difference in the game. Wallace trailed at the end of each quarter but came from behind in the fourth to defeat Hayes Center 55-51. Landon Swedberg was the leading scorer with 19, Josh Grauerholz had 12 and Taylor Doell was close behind with 11.

Philadelphia, PA (SportsNetwork.com) -
BOSTON COLLEGE: The 3-3 Eagles were idle this past weekend, following a strong
performance in a losing effort at then third-ranked Clemson on Oct. 12
(24-14). Steve Addazio's squad, which is 1-2 in ACC play, will attempt to pull
even in-conference when Boston College travels to Chapel Hill this weekend to
take on North Carolina.
CLEMSON: It was supposed to be a monumental clash between powerhouses, but the
first top-five showdown in Death Valley was a bit anti-climatic for the
hometown Tigers, as three first half turnovers put Clemson in a hole that it
couldn't dig itself out of. The result was a humbling 51-14 rout at the hands
of Florida State, dropping Clemson to 6-1 overall and a game behind the
Seminoles (in the loss column) in the ACC's Atlantic Division at 4-1. The
explosive Tigers managed only 326 total yards of offense and turned the ball
over four times, while the defense was gashed for 565 yards. All-American Tahj
Boyd had one of his worst outings in recent memory, as he was a mere 17-of-37
passing, for 156 yards and one TD, with two INTs. Sammy Watkins led the way
with eight catches, for 68 yards and a score, but offensive highlights were
few and far between for the Tigers. The loss ended an 11-game conference win
streak for Clemson, which will try to start a new one this weekend on the road
at Maryland.
FLORIDA STATE: Jimbo Fisher's Seminoles went into Death Valley and left with a
stranglehold on the ACC Atlantic Division, with an emphatic 51-14 rout of then
third-ranked Clemson. The big question going into the game was how freshman
quarterback Jameis Winston would handle the enormous spotlight. Winston
handled it like a savvy veteran, strengthening his Heisman run by throwing for
444 yards and three touchdowns, adding a fourth score on the ground. Wideout
Rashad Greene and tight end Nick O'Leary were quite the receiving tandem, with
Greene finishing with eight catches, for 146 yards and two TDs, while O'Leary
made five catches for 161 yards in the win. In all, FSU amassed 565 yards of
total offense, while the defense was masterful in limiting the explosive
Tigers to a mere 326 yards and forcing four turnovers. All-American DB
Lamarcus Joyner had a huge game, forcing two fumbles and recording an
interception in the win. The 6-0 Seminoles (4-0 ACC) return home for a pair of
games, starting with this weekend's clash with NC State.
MARYLAND: Starting quarterback C.J. Brown was back under center for the
Terrapins against Wake Forest, but struggled after returning this week from a
concussion, completing 15-of-24 passes, for just 137 yards and two
interceptions. He gave way to backup Caleb Rowe, but it wasn't enough to
ignite Maryland, which fell 34-10 in Winston-Salem to Wake Forest. There
wasn't much offensive balance for Maryland, which managed a mere 39 yards,
thanks in large part to Brown's -35 yards rushing in the loss. Linebacker
Marcus Whitfield recorded a sack in the loss and now has 6.5 on the season.
Defensive back William Likely led the unit with eight total stops. The 5-2
Terrapins are just 1-2 in conference play this season and will once again look
to become bowl eligible this week, although they face a monumental task with
powerhouse Clemson coming to College Park.
NC STATE: Still in search of his first ACC win, Dave Doeren leads his Wolfpack
into Tallahassee this weekend for a conference showdown with the Florida State
Seminoles. NC State was idle this past weekend, off the heels of two straight
losses, leaving the Wolfpack at 3-3 overall and 0-3 in the ACC.
SYRACUSE: Georgia Tech's option attack was unstoppable this past weekend and
the Orange were the unfortunate recipients of a 56-0 thrashing in Atlanta as a
result. Syracuse (3-4, 1-2 ACC) allowed the Yellow Jackets to roll up 394
yards on the ground in the rout. Meanwhile, Syracuse managed a mere 208 yards
of total offense, struggling both on the ground (75 yards) and through the air
(133 yards), while recording just 10 first downs in the game. Neither Drew
Allen (6-of-15 passing, 65 yards, 1 INT) nor Terrel Hunt (7-of-14 passing, 1
INT) were effective under center in the loss. The Orange suffered their first
shutout loss since 2007 (35-0 loss at Iowa) and the 56-point margin marked the
largest for an SU opponent since Miami-Florida (59-0 in 2001). Syracuse is
idle this week and won't get back to work until a home game against Wake
Forest on Nov. 2.
WAKE FOREST: There wasn't much more that quarterback Tanner Price could do, as
he scored touchdowns rushing, passing and receiving, leading the Demon Deacons
to a rather easy 34-10 rout of Maryland this past weekend in Winston-Salem.
Price was 26-of-36 passing, for 231 yards in the game and in the process,
became third Demon Deacon to eclipse 8,000 yards passing in a career (8,142).
Price wasn't the only Wake player to post a record-setting performance, as
wideout Michael Campanaro finished with 11 catches, for 122 yards and a score,
becoming the school's all-time leader in receptions (217), while moving into
fifth place in receiving yards (2,407). With the win, the Demon Deacons moved
to 4-3 overall and evened their conference record at 2-2. Winners of two
straight, the Demon Deacons will have a tough time making it three in a row
with a road date with nationally-ranked Miami-Florida on the docket this
DUKE: It didn't look good for Duke early in Charlottesville against Virginia
this past weekend, as the Blue Devils found themselves in a 22-0 hole at
one point. However, Duke went on to score 35 unanswered points to post a 35-22
victory and move to 5-2 overall, while earning its first conference win of the
season (1-2). Quarterbacks Anthony Boone and Brandon Connette factored into
the win, as Boone threw a pair of touchdown passes, while Connette threw one
and rushed for another score. Overall, Duke piled up 472 yards in the game,
while holding the struggling Cavaliers to just 363 yards, including a mere
seven yards in the third quarter. It was another strong performance for Duke
in the second half defensively. Duke has allowed an average of 7.4 points in
the second half this season, compared to 16.9 in the first half. The Blue
Devils will seek their fourth straight win this weekend, as they take on
nationally-ranked Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets dominated in every facet of the game, as they
shut out the Syracuse Orange at home in ACC action this past weekend, 56-0. It
easily marked Georgia Tech's largest margin of victory in ACC play in school
history and moved the Yellow Jackets to 4-3 overall and 3-2 in-conference,
while ending a three-game losing streak. Quarterback Vad Lee rushed for two
touchdowns and threw for a third score, as Tech piled up 482 yards of total
offense, including 394 on the ground. The Yellow Jackets scored seven
touchdowns rushing the football, as Justin Thomas (95 yards, 1 TD) and Zach
Laskey (75 yards, 3 TDs) played prominent roles. Tech had great success on
defense as well, limiting the Orange to just 208 yards of total offense. The
victory was the second shutout of the season for Georgia Tech, which hasn't
done that since 1985. The Yellow Jackets will attempt to ride the momentum
into this week's road game at Virginia.
MIAMI-FLORIDA: Despite losing their top tailback and a dangerous receiving
threat, the Miami-Hurricanes overcame the adversity to post a 27-23 road win
at North Carolina last Thursday night and remain unbeaten on the season,
moving to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. Sophomore tailback Dallas Crawford
came to the rescue after Miami lost star RB Duke Johnson to injury in the
first quarter, and rushed for a career-high 137 yards, scoring the go-ahead TD
with just 16 seconds left in the game. Miami racked up 556 yards of total
offense, as Stephen Morris passed for 322 yards in the win. However, Morris
compounded Miami's problems with four interceptions, while the usually staunch
defense allowed a season-high 500 yards to the Tar Heels. In addition to
Johnson leaving the game, WR Phillip Dorsett also left early and is actually
expected to miss up to six weeks with an knee injury. Miami, which is 6-0 for
the first time since 2004, looks to move to 7-0 when the team plays host to
Wake Forest.
NORTH CAROLINA: The Tar Heels almost posted their most impressive win of the
season last Thursday night, but allowed a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter
to vanish in a 27-23 loss to nationally-ranked Miami-Florida. UNC racked up
500 yards of total offense against one of the better defenses in the
conference, but could not hold on for the win, falling to 1-5 overall and
remaining winless in ACC play (0-3). The loss spoiled an eye-popping
performance by All-American candidate Eric Ebron, as the tight end finished
with eight catches, for 199 yards and one TD. Wideout Quinshad Davis also
finished with eight catches, going for 81 yards and a score. Quarterback Bryn
Renner was able to complete 28-of-36 passes in the loss, for 297 yards. Renner
passed Florida State's E.J. Manuel and is now 23rd in ACC history in passing
yards with 7,870. The Tar Heels will attempt to end a four-game skein this
weekend at home against Boston College.
PITTSBURGH: The Panthers took a break from conference action and stepped out
of FBS play as well, as they posted a 35-24 victory over Old Dominion this
past weekend. Tailback Isaac Bennett was unstoppable in the win, rushing for a
career-high 240 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Tom Savage wasn't
needed much, as he completed just 11-of-18 pass attempts, for 104 yards and
one TD. Pittsburgh did struggle to contain the Monarchs, who amassed 405 yards
of total offense, including 312 through the air. At 4-2, Pittsburgh is off to
its best start since 2009 when the team began the year 9-1 and finished 10-3.
The Panthers will continue non-conference action this weekend when the team
travels to Annapolis to take on Navy.
VIRGINIA: Things looked good for Virginia early on against Duke, as the team
opened up a 22-0 lead in the second quarter. However, the wheels fell off the
cart the rest of the way and the Cavaliers allowed the visiting Blue Devils to
score 35 unanswered points in a 35-22 loss. It marked the fourth straight
defeat for Virginia which now sits at just 2-5 overall and an ugly 0-3 in
conference play. Tailback Kevin Parks did his best, scoring all three of the
team's touchdowns (2 rushing, 1 receiving). Quarterback David Watford was 20-
of-38 passing for 263 yards, with one TD and one interception. Watford tied
his career high with the 263 passing yards and it was the fourth 200-yard
passing game of his career. Parks, who rushed for 50 yards in the loss, added
six receptions for 88 yards. Parks ranks eighth on the school's career rushing
touchdowns list with 22. The Cavaliers will attempt to end their current skein
this weekend, when they play host to Georgia Tech.
VIRGINIA TECH: The Hokies went into this past week's bye with a six-game win
streak in tow. Virginia Tech, which is 6-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play,
gets back to work this weekend when the team plays host to Duke at Lane

67 views yet 0 replies... This is going to be a rocky start. I must have come to the wrong place.
Hello. I'm new here as most of you probably know. I hate introductions, I feel as though I'm at an AA meeting.
Hmm.... where should I start?
I'm a gamer by nature and I love to make maps. I guess I joined CG so that I can make some D&D dungeon maps and maybe make some overland maps too. I'm not real familiar with all the "map terminology" so please forgive me if I sound ridiculous. I have many interests and I don't know if I have the time (or money) to make maps but I'd like to try.
I have always doodled in the corners of my homework paper, in my textbooks and on various pieces of paper I could find but I've never really had any professional schooling as far as drawing goes. As far as making maps I usually draw them by hand or try to draw them on MS Paint. I don't have Gimp or Inkscape (never really heard of those before) and I certainly don't have PS. Some of the "overland" maps on here that I like are by artists "Schwarzkreuz", "Vorropohaia". My mind is going blank...
I like dungeon maps for games such as D&D, and I do like the "graph line maps" or dungeon maps that I've seen on Dudjinni and CC3. I think those would be awesome to make but I've never had any experience with auto cad. Do I need to? I'm not a very technical kind of guy. I hate math. I took a technical drawing class in 9th grade and I hated it.
I guess that's about it for now.

Be patient, some of us are kind of busy with mapping works or RL work and stuff and most of the viewers are not members but guests who can't post here. Btw maybe you could define what you're looking for with more details?
I dont think you need to have experience in autocad to work CC3. I didnt have any and found it wasnt hard to start mapping citites, pretty much click and place. I can't speak for Dundjinni other than they have a ton of symobls over there on the forum.
Hi Auric - welcome to the guild.
Mapping is more about what you draw than how you draw it. If you're used to sketching on graph paper, then start with that. Upload a few pics - even if you snap them with a phone camera - of your sketches and you'll get feedback pretty quickly. Gimp is a free program that does a lot of what Photoshop can achieve. It's a useful place to start out with computer graphics.
The best way to begin is to upload a sketch and say what's wrong with it, and where you want to get to. Then people can give you some clear advice. I hope that helps, and welcome to the guild!
Kier is right about not needing AutoCad experience to use CC3. CC3 is a cad BASED program, like way back in the dark ages I believe it was writen in the autocad scripting language....but it has moved on quite a bit. It still uses some of the same interfaces, but it is really an object orientated program. If you DO have Autocad experience, it does make learning some of theose interfaces MUCH faster, but really is not nessary. There are plenty of tutorials for CC3 on youtube so you can get in the swing quite easily with those.
And Yes, I was one of those visits with no posts...Sorry but sometimes the time only allows browsing but not enough to post anything relivant....today is a good day
So a belated Welcome to the Guild the Mappiest Place on the Web
Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
I should actually thank all of you. I do apologize for my coarseness. I hope I didn't sound like a jerk, it's just that sometimes it comes out that way when I type.
Okay I'll start uploading some of my work soon! Currently I am working on a very basic and small dungeon map but it doesn't look that good graphics wise. It is being done on MS Paint with Vista, so pretty basic. I'm not sure how everything will go as I am basing the design on D&D and since I am new to the genre, I am working in the dark.
Also, I will be making a large overland map in the future. I can't really say what I need help with yet for that one but I'll let you any/all know in the next several weeks ahead.
Btw, thank you tortsan.
That's good to hear about CC3, I wasn't sure how it works.
Thank you Max, Kier, tortsan & Korash!

The UST Women's Basketball team continued their stretch of solid play by defeating the Bacone College Warriors 65-62 on Dec. 14 at the Jerabeck Activity and Athletic Center. With the win, the Celts improved to 5-4 overall and 3-2 in Red River Conference play.
"Our team showed an ability to persevere tonight," Head Coach Mike Ricks said. "We battled a tough opponent in a close game and made plays when we needed to make plays. I was very impressed with our poise and focus down the stretch."
Junior post Amber Arceneaux-Francis remained a force in the paint for the Lady Celts and finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds, good for her fourth straight double-double.
"Amber has really started coming into her own over the last six games," Ricks said. "She has been scoring and rebounding consistently. I still think she is just scratching the surface of her potential. I'm excited to see what she will accomplish as we progress through the season."
Sophomore Gaby Guzman (10 points) and freshmen Emily Sebo (10 points, 5 rebounds) help counter the late push by Bacone with timely baskets in crunch time.
However, the Lady Celts won the game on the defensive end by pressuring the Lady Warriors into 22 turnovers. Junior Hershiira "Shorty" Boone-Rodgers (14 points, 6 assists) led the charge defensively with 4 steals and provided much needed energy late in the game.
"We showed several different schemes defensively," Ricks said. "I think it kind of disrupted their flow on the offensive end. Shorty was a big reason why we were successful tonight."
The Lady Celts look to continue their winning ways when they take on Texas Wesleyan this Saturday, Dec. 17 at Jerabeck Center. Tip-off is set for 2 p.m.

There are many options when it comes to caring for your skin but despite all of the technology available, it is often Mother Nature who has the most effective solutions. Jurlique Skin Care relies on natural botanicals to improve the health and beauty of the skin. The formulations are perfect for delicate types that are often irritated by chemical ingredients in addition to anyone looking for a more natural solution to their skin issues. Jurlique Skin Care is a comprehensive line of products that help you achieve amazing results. The line includes an impressive collection of moisturizers, cleansers, toners and exfoliators as well as specialized items like sunscreens and treatment products.
Jurlique Skin Care addresses all skin types by offering solutions for specific concerns and everyday products that allow your skin to look its best. Use Jurlique Skin Care in combination for best results. The products are formulated to work well together and enhance the benefits and effects of other products in the line. It is the goal of Jurlique to help you find harmony and balance through the best that nature has to offer.
Healthy skin is all about creating a balance. While many common skin care products can be harsh and cause reactions, Jurlique Skin Care relies on nature to achieve beautifully balanced skin. Natural botanicals are the basis for Jurlique Skin Care. Nature has provided a plethora of solutions for a variety of skin types and concerns. Jurlique creates superior blends that are safe for the most sensitive skin in order to achieve a better complexion while respecting the earth.
Dryness is a very common problem that tends to get worse with age as sebum production slows down. Hydrated skin is better able to resist different problems and so moisturizing is an essential part of any healthy skin care regimen. Jurlique Moisture Replenishing Day Cream contains naturally hydrating oils from the avocado and rosehip to deeply moisturize and nourish skin that is dry or dehydrated. Jurlique Moisture Replenishing Day Cream is long lasting, providing essential moisture from morning to night. The exceptional antioxidant protection helps protect the skin from external aggressors.
Because the skin around the eye is much thinner than the skin on the rest of the face, special care must be taken and an eye treatment specially formulated for this delicate area should be chosen. Jurlique Purely Age-Defying Eye Cream addresses every common eye concern; puffiness, dark circles, fine lines and crow's feet. It can be used day and night to tighten, brighten and protect.
It's very common for skin to experience sensitivity. When this is the case, Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel can provide instant relief. It is made from a blend of soothing extracts that calm and balance. Natural oils and other botanical extracts help to soften and hydrate. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel is very light and can be used on all skin types, even oily. It can be combined with a moisturizer for extra hydration.

The Wine:
Harvest Moon Russian River Valley Sparkling Gewurztraminer 2007
The Affair:
Drinking wine is a lot like jumping out of an airplane. You pack up your parachute, patiently await as butterflies circle madly in your stomach as you climb thousands of feet in the air, and then it all ends with that one moment you step out of the plane. It's at that moment that all of your fear, apprehension, and anxiety are given a roundhouse, knockout kick by a shot of excitement, adrenaline, and then hopefully a safe landing back on the ground. Sure, sometimes your chute doesn't open or something goes wrong and you end up like a splatter of bird poop on the ground... but sometimes the thrill of trying something new is rewarded with an intensely awesome experience. That's what living is all about!
The good news about drinking wine is that when it sucks, nobody gets hurt. You may lose of few bucks, but at least you still walk away with an experience... good OR bad. Last night's affair was one of those moments where I pushed myself out of my comfort zone. Not only do I have little experience with Gewurztraminer, but I've never had one with bubbles before. So I strapped on my chute, grabbed the bottle, and gracefully attempted to pry the cork out of its neck (see picture above). Okay, maybe not quite graceful, but what do you expect from me? :)
If you've ever asked someone to describe their experience after they jump out of an airplane, you've probably gotten the same lame, non descriptive answer. It's usually either "awesome", "peaceful", "beautiful", or something else like that. You'll never really know for sure how it feels until you try it for yourself. Well, this affair can only be described as tasty, enjoyable, and FUN! This is one jump that ended well... I didn't worry for a second about my chute not opening! It was THAT good!
When was the last time you pushed your palate to the EXTREME?
For this and other affairs, check out the summary of scores, map, or even choose my next bottle.

The Wine:
Numanthia Termes 2007
The Affair:
To celebrate our first night home from our cruise, I decided to open a bottle that I KNEW my wife and I would love. We first tried this Spanish beauty while dining out about a month ago... in fact, YOU recommended for me to try it!
We enjoyed it then, and we TOTALLY enjoyed it last night! Coming home after a long relaxing trip can be depressing. You just know the fun is over. Work, life, and everyday problems are just around the corner. Isn't it nice to know that you can open a nice bottle of wine and delay everyday life just a moment longer?
This is just one of the reasons why I love wine...
Why do YOU love wine?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
I'm all about celebrating...
Okay, well maybe I just love having a good reason to celebrate. That's why for my second wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day, I packed up my wife, my wine, and headed to the Caribbean on a seven day cruise. I know you must be dying to know how it went... so like a cheesy 80's movie, I've created a video montage to commemorate the event.
Grab a bottle of your favorite booze, a bag of popcorn, and enjoy:
The Wine:
Collier Falls Hillside Estate Dry Creek Sonoma Petite Sirah 2005
The Affair:
I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. I took this bottle out last weekend to enjoy with a nice cigar but ended up drinking beer, shots, and whatnot instead. Passed over and lonely, this bottle sat quietly next to my computer for several days. That is, until last night...
I love a good Petite Sirah. Perfect fuel for staying warm on a cold night or calming down after a long day, Petite Sirah just seems to sooth the soul. The better quality bottles of this grape tend to be packed with tons of that gritty, fruity, character that causes my cares to melt faster than a stick of butter in Paula Deen's kitchen. The thinner, less robust Petite Sirahs are okay, but nothing compares to a well made bottle of this beauty.
Last night's affair was one of the better Petite Sirahs that I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. It was full bodied, dry, and ready for action. Maybe I've just had a rough week, but I found myself quickly emptying my glass and looking for more.
If you like dry reds, this bottle will deliver. If you have more of a sweet tooth and dread smokey oak, this may be an affair you would want to pass on. In any case and for whatever reason, this hump day affair was a great way to improve an otherwise busy, and overwhelmingly rough week. For that, I am very thankful!
For this and other affairs, check out the summary of scores, map, or even choose my next bottle.

Here's a riddle:
How do you get a bottle of Silver Oak and two bottles of Fairchild Estate wine sent to your door?
Either spend about $350 plus shipping... OR write a post entitled "Opus One Sucks the Big One"
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but since that controversial post about Mondavi's lovechild, I've been getting some seriously expensive bottles in the mail. This may sound like I am bragging.... well, actually that's because I am bragging! That's not the point. The point is that I feel like the wine world is embracing my honesty and rewarding me for giving the finger to all of the wine snobs out there who have no REAL taste. Now THAT'S something to brag about!
Okay, so if it's honesty you want, it's honesty you're gonna get!
That doesn't mean I'm gonna start bashing every bottle out there... it means that I am going to keep telling you the honest truth about the wine I taste. After all, pretend to like crappy wine, and you'll just get MORE crappy wine! No thanks!
So let's get down to business...
Why does Fairchild Estate believe they can charge over $100 for a bottle of their juice?
Ironically enough, Paul Hobbs, the winemaker for Fairchild Estate, worked for Mondavi earlier in his career and was even assigned to the Opus One team in 1981. Oh, now we're getting somewhere! I wonder if Paul has managed to create a wine worth its hefty price tag or if this is just more overhyped California crap? There's only one way to find out.
This sounds like a job for The Wine Whore!
Until then...
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
People are often intimidated when they first get into wine. Others drink it for years yet still manage to completely miss the most important part of the wine experience: enjoying the wine.
Over the past year of my "wine whoring", my perspective on wine has changed dramatically. One thing is for sure... The more I learn about wine, the more I realize how little I know.
Of all the lessons I've learned, I find the following six steps to enjoying wine to be the most important:
1) Don't Drink Alone
You wouldn't show up at a party with a case of beer, hide it, and then drink the entire thing by yourself, would ya? Well, maybe that's a bad example. But the point is that the key to enjoying wine is to enjoy it with other people. Not only is it more fun to drink in groups, but it is also a great chance to hear how other people perceive the same wine you're drinking. Everyone has different tastes, knowledge, and experience in wine. Learn, live, and enjoy the fact that we are all different!
2) Drink as Much as You Possibly Can
No, I'm not suggesting that you binge drink and puke on the family dog. Moderation is essential to avoiding this sort of embarrassment. What I AM saying is that you should seek out different types of wine and enjoy them on a regular basis. If you pair your wine with your everyday meals, after a few months you'll find that you've gone through quite a few bottles.
3) Travel
The best way to learn about wine is to go right to the source. I learned more about Bordeaux by visiting this region for a few days than many people learn during their entire lifetime.
Don't let your budget stop you from getting out there. In most cases, you don't have to travel far to find a winery since every state in the U.S. has one! Visit and support your local wineries and plan trips to other areas known for their wine. If you can swing it, plan a wine tour overseas. Who knows, you may find a new favorite varietal, region, or type of wine.
4) Eat More Food
The more I drink, the more I realize that food, beer, wine, cheese, etc... all have similarities. Just look at Stilton and Sauternes... I know it sounds like a ridiculous combination but it actually tastes AWESOME! Like a symphony of the senses, food and wine can be combined in many different ways. Experiment with different combinations and don't be afraid to think outside the box. Often the most bizarre or unlikely combos offer the most rewarding results.
5) Ask for Suggestions
I like to keep a list of all of the wine suggestions that people give me. When it's time to go to the wine shop or out to a nice dinner, I print out the list and choose the ones that have gotten the best props. This works much better than trying to find Wine Spectator's over inflated and often out of stock top 100 selections.
6) Have an Open Mind
This is by far the most important lesson I've learned when it comes to enjoying wine. Don't ever rule a bottle out for ANY reason. PERIOD!
Am I missing anything?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
Looking back on it, I have to believe that some divine being must have planned the whole thing out from the very beginning. There are just some things in life that happen without explanation but seem entirely too coincidental to be left to pure chance...
Todd Sweeney, the guy to the right of me in the picture above, has played an interesting, almost serendipitous role in my life. I met him over four years ago. I still remember the day he started working at the same corporate gig as me. We shared a common love for music and instantly became friends. Since then, he has introduced me to my wife who just so happened to work at the same hospital as his wife. He was a groomsman at my wedding. And now the winding paths of our lives are crossing once again.
This week I'll be doing something different. Instead of my usual solo broadcast, this week's TWWTV wine tasting will be open to the public. I won't be airing this week's show LIVE so if you want to join me, grab your liver and head over to Careme's Market in Lutz next Thursday for some FREE food, wine and HOT SAUCE!
Here's your chance to taste wine with me as I pour, taste, and discuss some new wine selections. Not only will this be a fun chance to wet your palate, but I'll also raffle off some sweet Wine Whore gear (shirts, glasses, bumper stickers).
See you there!

Whoever said that whores don't get any love clearly wasn't talking about wine whores! To start off this holiday of love, Cupid has delivered not one, but TWO Valentine's Day treats. Ok, so maybe the schweaty UPS man with the gravy stain tie plastered to his uniform doesn't quite count as cupid. But hey, he brought me wine. That's good enough for me!
The first gift came from Jacob's Creek. A bottle of their Centenary Hill Shiraz along with a heartwarming note and some suggestions of local places where one can "Bring Your Own Bottle". Wait a minute... places that DON'T charge ridiculous corking fees DO exist? Maybe that WAS cupid at my door earlier today afterall!
The next arrow of love was thrown by one of my favorite repeat mistresses: LangeTwins. Joe Lange always knows the way to my heart and coincidentally, my liver. Joe and the folks over at Langetwins have my V-Day covered with a nice bottle of their 2006 Midnight Reserve. I can't wait to have an affair with this Bordeaux blend, a nice steak, and ... oh yeah, how could I forget, Mrs. Whore!
Thank you Constance and the folks over at Jacob's Creek as well as Joe and the folks at LangeTwins. After all, what would Valentine's Day be without several bottles of wine to enjoy?
Cheers to you all this Valentine's Day!

Ok, I've gotta be honest here... Although there's a good chance I may crack into a bottle of wine tonight, most likely I'll be drinking beer. And that's okay! Don't ever feel like you HAVE to drink something because of what your eating or doing. Instead, drink WHAT you like WHEN you like! This recipe is the key to a perfect pairing every time!
What will YOU be drinking tonight?
(This message brought to you by The Wine Whore)
After a long week, I felt that it was only fair to celebrate the weekend in proper wine whore style. To kick off the party, I made my way to the "World of Beer" to meet some old friends and make some new ones. I wasn't about to order a glass of wine at a place named after its selection of beer, so I started off the evening with a Rogue Dead Guy Ale followed by a Bellhaven Scottish Stout, and finished with a hoppy 90 Minute IPA.
Feeling pretty good, I made my way to a friend's house for some dinner and drinks. Once I arrived, all bets were off. Everything from Bogle Old Vine Zin/Grenache to Red Zeppelin Syrah was flowing. I even remember having a shot of Citron at one point in the evening.
Last night was about enjoying life, not about tasting notes. Sometimes you just have to forget about WHAT you are drinking, and just focus on enjoying time with your friends, family, and whoever else you are sharing the moment with at the time. After all, isn't that the whole point?

How many daughters live with you?
Interviewer instructions
If the answer to CM3 is 'Yes', record the number of sons and daughters living with the woman in the space provided. If the answer is 'None' for sons (or if she does not have any sons), record '00' in the space provided for sons. Similarly, if she has no daughters now living with her (or if she does not have any daughters), record '00' in the space for daughters. Do not leave either of the spaces blank. Since the question is asked only to women who have children living with them in the same household, at least one of the spaces should have a value higher than 00.

This planetary nebula was one of the first "nebulae†seen and recorded by William Herschel during the summer of 1782.
Since my skies are loaded with sky glow, it is not possible to see the ansae (handles) at the ends of the long axis of this beautiful bluish planetary nebula. With the ansae visible this planetary nebula very much resembles a blue version of the planet Saturn with its rings edge on. At high magnification the white dwarf central star is easily detectable with 18†of aperture although the view is much better under dark transparent skies.

Welcome to the Guild! Also, you may want to give the GIMP a try. It's free, and I find that having and using both programs is sometimes really beneficial.
Hello All,
At present, I am using Photoshop 7 and Photoshop CS. I look forward to buying CS 5 or whatever is current when I can afford it. I will definitely investigate the programs suggested on this forum. I really don't get into wargaming or RPG, but have done so when younger. I am 64 now, and am more interested in what I guess I'd call "reality" mapping or cartography. But I think that the techniques and software used would be useful in both cases. Actually, I'm a huge fan of J.R.R. Tolkien both in his fantasy writing and in his non-fiction work. We have a woodworking business and have named it, Middle Earth Turnings after his usage from Middangeard" which was a ancient expression for the everyday world between Heaven above and Hell below.) So our usage is not a copyright infringement as some havetried to say, since he copied it from the above reference, which cold be said to be in the public domain for several hundred years! Enoughth of that...I really love maps of all types and have found that many on this forum are quite beautiful. I know I'll learn a lot from you folks, and hope I will be able to contribute something of use also.

Gimp is definitely worth a try because it's free and there's a lot of support for it here in the Guild.
Photoshop CS6 is also in open beta for the next couple months, so you can download and try that for free. (Yes, it will expire at the end of the beta.)
Depending on what you mean by reality mapping, you might find that either Inkscape(free vector based analog to Illustrator) or Illustrator itself to be a better fit vs GIMP/PS. If you don't plan to do much advanced shading or photo realistic mapping, those would likely be a better approach. Things such as street maps, topographical maps, simple line drawings, etc would be more in line with Vector programs. Also, if you plan to do much in way of actual drawing, I would highly suggest investing in at least a low end(Wacom brand would be the only recommendation I would make) tablet. You will find it makes things far easier than a mouse depending on how much "drawing" you plan to do.

welcome to the guild - I'm a photoshop user myself, but pretty tired of paying for way to expensive upgrades (the prices in Denmark is just about double of the US prices eventhough its the same program (I buy the english version).

Table Talk: Smeared Hog with Groundhog Gravy
"Bizarre Foods" on the Travel Channel, judged the contest. His crew taped coverage of the event, which will be featured on a segment exploring West Virginia foods that airs at 9 p.m. Feb. 27 on the Travel Channel. The event's name, I agree, is unfortunate. First, find a groundhog When she heard "Bizarre Foods" host Andrew Zimmern was judging the RoadKill Cook-off in Marlinton last fall, Rachel Dickenson of Dunmore was determined to cook for him. She'd entered the cook-off on three other occasions and won third place. She thought this would be the year her Smeared Hog with Groundhog Gravy would win. She was right. Zimmern and two other judges chose her dish, an apple cider-soaked country-fried pork loin in a brown groundhog gravy, for first place honors. Not bad for an entry that came together despite some formidable obstacles. Dickenson decided to enter the week of the Sept. 24 competition. Her last-minute decision to enter didn't give her usual crew enough time to clear their calendars. She needed help, so she called her sister in St. Albans, Naomi Roberts, who also declined because she had to work. On Thursday, Roberts called Dickenson to tell her that she'd rearranged her work schedule as a nurse at St. Francis Hospital and could make it to the Saturday competition after all. "But I was still in big trouble. I needed a groundhog, and we just couldn't find one," she said. The day before the event, her husband, Tom, called her at her job at Snowshoe Mountain Resort and said he'd bagged not one, but two groundhogs. Game on. "It's a good thing I work well under pressure," she said. Her husband skinned the groundhogs and placed them in a mixture of salt water and vinegar to soak overnight. Dickenson's and Roberts' mother and grandmother, both good country cooks, taught them that step that reduces the meat's gamey flavor. They both remember visiting their grandmother in the spring when she would cook young groundhogs. Young groundhogs are preferable because they are tender, but large adults are all that could be found in the fall. The meat from the adult groundhogs would require an extra long cook time to tenderize. Contest rules stipulate only two hours for cooking, so Dickenson speeded up the process by using a pressure cooker. Dickenson sent her daughter Stacey out to the garden where she gathered potatoes, carrots and cabbage for the meal. This competition isn't only about food. Presentation counts, so Stacey also picked up cornstalks and pumpkins for their booth. Dickenson named her group "Ridge Runners," a nod to the Pocahontas County holler in which she and Roberts grew up. "There were several people around us in the holler who were moonshiners. I thought it would be a good theme," she said. The colorful booth manned by Rachel and Stacey Dickenson, her 4-year-old daughter, Taylor, and 7-year-old son, Gabriel, and Roberts caught the attention of wandering judge Andrew Zimmern, but it was the food that kept him coming back. "When the other judges came over, he told them he'd already sampled ours three times," Rachel said. Zimmern asked Dickenson about her recipe and she told him about her memories of grandmother preparing groundhog. When the other judges sat down, they said that the plate of gravy smothered pork, served with potatoes, carrots, bacon-seasoned cabbage and biscuits, looked like something they would have eaten at their own grandmothers' tables. The dish was also popular with the festival goers. They served 1,050 portions of it, along with Headlight Delight, a fruit, cream cheese and marshmallow confection assembled and served by Gabriel and Taylor. Zimmern, who has a young son, seemed particularly interested in the children and their efforts. They cooked and served all day. "It wasn't all fun," said Roberts. "She kind of misled us when she asked us to help. We were on our feet all day." Cook-off participants sign a release for their recipes, which can be featured and published elsewhere. Dickenson's winning recipe and dish were featured on a Today show in the 11 a.m. segment hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. The show covered unusual dishes from different states. Stacey and Rachel watched the program together. Rachel was not pleased with the coverage. "Kathie Lee turned up her nose and said, 'If you think I'm going to eat that, you're crazy,' " said Rachel, who said somebody in the New York studio prepared the dish, and must have altered her recipe. "It didn't look the same." "She was livid," said Stacey of her mother's reaction. "I feel like you could take that dish and serve it in a New York City restaurant and they'd never know that it had groundhog in it," Dickenson said, who is anxious to see how the lengthy video Zimmern's crew shot at the festival is shown on "Bizarre Foods," airing at 9 p.m. Monday on the Travel Channel. Zimmern also visited a gathering of cloggers and folkdancers at a Putnam County lodge and hunted in Jackson County during his visit. FINAL NOTE: Unlike the supercilious Kathie Lee, I tasted the recipe Dickenson prepared for our interview, and thought it was delicious. The meat in the brown gravy could easily be mistaken for beef -- even in New York City. Reach Julie Robinson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1230. Smeared Hog with Groundhog Gravy Rachel Dickenson, Dunmore 1 pork loin, sliced and tenderized 2 cups apple cider 3 eggs 1 cup buttermilk 1 box Kentucky Kernel flour Vegetable oil to taste Cajun seasoning to taste Garlic powder to taste Salt and pepper to taste 1 groundhog 2 cups water 2 15-ounce cans of beef broth Handful of fresh mushrooms Butter to taste Salt and pepper to taste Flour for dredging SLICE pork and marinate in apple cider overnight. Skin groundhog and soak in water and vinegar overnight. HEAT oven to 350 degrees. Remove pork from cider and dip in separate bowls of egg and buttermilk; then in a flour seasoned with Cajun spice, garlic, salt and pepper. FRY the pork in vegetable oil until golden brown. Finish cooking in oven for one hour or until desired degree of doneness is achieved. Set aside and cover with foil until groundhog gravy is done. WHILE pork is baking, rinse the groundhog. ADD the groundhog plus 1 inch of water to a pressure cooker, cook at 10 pounds of pressure for 45 minutes. REMOVE groundhog and let cool. Remove bones and cut meat into small pieces. ADD water, beef broth and mushrooms into broth in pressure cooking, stirring and scraping up until a nice gravy develops. Add groundhog. If needed, thicken at the last minute with flour. POUR gravy over pork and serve with a biscuit.

One of the most fun and rewarding bikes we've come across recently, the SB-66 eschews convention. While the innovative dual-link suspension with eccentric lower link receives the most attention, the bike's progressive geometry—longer, lower and slacker than anything in its class—defines the 66. The bike wants to be worked hard, rewarding fearless riders by remaining stable at speed and mauling corners. The suspension's slightly firm tune compliments the handling and features an end-to-end consistency that is devoid of the humps, dips and wallows that nagged owners of Yeti's previous trail bike, the 575. Though the longer wheelbase does take some getting used to on tight switchbacks and the bike is a touch heavy (the aluminum frame weighs 7.5 pounds), the SB-66 climbs very well thanks to an efficient pedaling platform that remains sensitive even in the small ring.

Lab passed - First Attempt - At the age of 24 posted 10/03/2007
Dear All, I have been waiting for long time to write this email. I was a silent member of the group except some of my few questions like 'time management in the lab'. I have got my number - CCIE#18988 - passing the R&S lab exam in Tokyo yesterday 2nd October 2007. I will be the first CCIE to be counted for my country - Ethiopia - in Cisco's CCIE database. Here is my journey to CCIE. My background is electrical engineering. I became CCNA when I was college student and I had been working as part time network administrator of the university for two years until I graduated. After graduation I haven't taken any of the CCNP exams for two years but I was working as a network engineer for a private company and I was doing many Cisco projects not only on routing and switching but also on voice and security areas. That experience was very useful for me and I had to do many readings to complete the projects I was assigned to do. And the other advantage for a person like me was that I had to do many advanced things without any senior person helping me. So my only option was reading and I love reading. Ok enough about my background. I took the written exam last October 2006. After that I had to find a sponsor for my lab exam because, it was very difficult to cover it by myself. My company director general accepts my request immediately but the financial process took about 8 months. So my study at that time was on and off. I have really started my lab preparation at the beginning of July. For one month I revised all the technologies using IEWBv4.1 volume 1 and most of the recommended books like Jeff Doyle's and the others. I was also using CBT Nuggets. I have been studying the whole month full time. Then I went to Harith's 12 days bootcamp in UK. It was really nice in clarifying the core part of the exam - IGP/BGP. Then I came back home and continue my preparation for another month. This time I installed the IE dynamips topology in my pc at home and start IEWB for Dynamips. I have tried to do the first 10 labs but time didn't allow me to finish the other 10 labs from IEWB4.1 volume 2. So I have gone through the last 10 labs by just reading the question and answering it in my mind and checking the solution if I am right. I have also taken both of Cisco's Assessor Labs and one mock lab each from IE and NMC. At that time I was good in technology readiness but I was not good in time management. Then I went back to UK for Harith's another 5 days bootcamp. It was really helpful in making me completely prepared. Then I went directly to Tokyo for the lab. I have finished exactly in time. Since I was doing verifications in every of the questions, I was not worried by not having extra time for checking. Generally my lab preparation was three months full time. My company (I can say Ethiopian Government since I am working for government agency) was very cooperative in many things from covering all my expenses up to giving two years annual leave without counting the 3 weeks of the bootcamp. Now I should take a little break to celebrate Ethiopian Millennium that I missed during study and then to another track - most probably SP. I am thinking of getting married in the time of the little break. My fiance was all the way with me in the CCIE journey. Thanks and Best Regards, -- Meried B. - CCIE#18988 Network Operations Senior Expert National Data Center (PMO) Mob. +251 91 1349519

Friday News, August 10
Northern Natural Gas Sues DeRocher Construction For Gas Line Rupture
(Le Mars) -- Northern Natural Gas Company of Omaha, Nebraska has filed a lawsuit against the DeRocher Construction Company of Le Mars for the gas line rupture that occured east of Hinton last April. The lawsuit was filed at the U-S District Court in Sioux City. The accident occurred when employees of the DeRocher Construction were trenching for a tile line and had hit the underground gas line producing an explosion and a fireball that could be seen for miles. Northern Natural Gas is seeking $439,273 in compensation for what it says is for emergency response, inspection and repair, labor, equipment usage, gas loss, and third-party contractor costs while repairs were made. Northern Natural Gas claims that the DeRocher Construction Company did not call Iowa One-Call, a utility locater hotline prior to their trenching work. Iowa's Attorney General is investigating the accident.

Schultz Defends His Actions On Voting Rights
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz says his office plans to use a federal citizenship database to investigate whether more than 1,000 registered voters should be
disqualified because they're ineligible non-citizens.
The Republican said in a statement Thursday his office identified the voters and recently was promised access to a government database of naturalized U.S. citizens to check their
status. The individuals could include those who are in the U.S. legally on green cards but do not have voting rights.
Schultz says rules adopted last month lay out the process that will be used to notify individuals affected and remove them from the rolls.
Schultz's statement was the first attempt to explain the rules, which were the challenged in a lawsuit filed Wednesday by civil rights groups.
Iowa Lawyers Say Keep the Judges
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa lawyers believe all 75 judges and justices up for a retention vote this year deserve to stay in office.
A new report released Thursday by the Iowa State Bar Association shows an average of 90 percent support among lawyers for the judges and justices who will appear on the 2012 ballot. But the Des Moines Register reports that Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins scored the second-lowest approval rating of any judge on the survey, with 63 percent support.
Bar Association President Cynthia Moser acknowledged that the court's 2009 decision that allowed same-sex marriage may have played a role in the response. But she notes that all judges received majority support from lawyers.
The head of the Iowa Republican Party is urging voters to deny Wiggins a new term.
Iowa Workforce Face Criticism With Employment Kiosks
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A federal report has criticized the self-help computer kiosks set up to replace three dozen Iowa unemployment offices.
An unreleased U.S. Labor Department report that says the kiosks do not provide adequate service access to people looking for jobs.
A federal review of the kiosk program this spring found the kiosks have only descriptions of services and do not aid self-help or staff-assisted services that an unemployed person might need.
Iowa Workforce Development Deputy Director Ed Wallace describes the report as a preliminary draft and says federal reviewers probably didn't fully understand the project.
Gov. Terry Branstad closed nearly two-thirds of Iowa Workforce Development field offices last year in an effort to save money.

Charming illustrations accompany the familiar lullaby, Hush Little Baby, but the verses here are not the usual. If you know the original words for forever, you may have trouble accepting this newly minted version, but in a sense they give both mama and papa, the singing parents some freedom to make up more new verses that are tailor made for their own little one. This is sort of close to the familiar and though some of the rhymes are only near rhymes, it works. Fair warning--if you do not like variations on old classics, skip this. 0-2
