Oklahoma football: Sooners' gambles pay off in 34-19 win over Kansas
LAWRENCE, Kan. — After a quarter-and-a-half Saturday, Oklahoma's offense looked lethargic; its defense appeared helpless; and suddenly, Kansas' first conference victory in three years didn't seem too far out of the realm of possibility.
Desperately in need of a spark — anything to inject some life into a game that was teetering near apocalyptic for the Sooners — coach Bob Stoops morphed back into the Riverboat Gambler he once was, taking heavy risks on back-to-back, second-quarter plays that ultimately shifted the momentum for good.
Oklahoma blocked a punt deep in Kansas territory for a safety, then scored on a 49-yard reverse pass from receiver Lacoltan Bester to Sterling Shepard that gave the Sooners a lead it wouldn't relinquish in Saturday's 34-19 win inside Memorial Stadium.
"When things happen like that, turnovers or touchdowns, those are momentum shifts for either side," Bester said. "It depends on who gets them. I was glad those were on our side today."
The Sooners hope to carry that momentum into next Saturday when they host Texas Tech. Oklahoma probably won't have as easy a time recovering if it starts slow against the unbeaten Red Raiders.
Many of Oklahoma's biggest issues from last weekend's loss to Texas seemed to carry over into the first quarter Saturday, when the Sooners were unable to get anything going offensively and were gashed by Kansas' run attack defensively.
Jayhawks senior running back James Sims, who averaged 78 yards per game before Saturday, finished with 129 yards — including 85 in the first quarter — and two touchdowns.
The Sooners found themselves down 13-0 less than a minute into the second quarter, putting them at risk of becoming lowly Kansas' first Big 12 victim since 2010.
Oklahoma seemed to find its footing on defense early in the second quarter, though, and scored a touchdown midway through the frame to cut into the Jayhawks' lead, but even that was followed by a rare missed extra point from kicker Michael Hunnicutt.
After another Kansas three-and-out, the Jayhawks lined up to punt at their own 14-yard line when Oklahoma called for a punt block. Freshman Matt Dimon blew through the line and blocked the kick, forcing a safety.
Stoops doesn't usually like being that aggressive on punt blocks, but said first-year special teams coordinator Jay Boulware saw something in Kansas' protection that made it susceptible.
"After that thing happened, man, our team just never looked back," Boulware said.
Roy Finch returned the ensuing kick to Kansas' 49-yard line, and that's when offensive coordinator Josh Heupel dialed up a trick play he'd carried in his back pocket all season.
Blake Bell handed off to Brennan Clay, who flipped the ball back to Bester. Bester delivered a perfect strike down the field to Shepard, who coasted into the end zone to give Oklahoma its first lead of the game.
The Sooners have practiced the trick play since fall camp, but never felt comfortable using it in a game. Senior center Gabe Ikard said they've had it called a few times, but always checked out of it because of what the defense looked like.
"It did not look that good in practice — I can guarantee you that," Ikard said. "For him to throw it like that in the game was very impressive and I'm glad he did it."
On its first second-half offensive series, Bell found Shepard for a 10-yard touchdown, capping a six-play, 58-yard drive that seemed to put Oklahoma in firm control of the game with a 25-13 lead.
But the Jayhawks wouldn't go away, intercepting a fourth-down Bell pass on the Sooners' next drive.
Then early in the fourth quarter, Oklahoma backed itself up when Bell was called for intentional grounding and threw two incomplete passes, setting up a fourth-and-24 from the Sooners' own 18-yard line.
Kansas blocked Jed Barnett's punt, and Sims scored a play later to pull Kansas within six points.
Jordan Wade, though, blocked Kansas' extra-point attempt, which was recovered by Aaron Colvin and returned for two points.
"It's like we preach all the time, you know, special teams plays can change the momentum of a game," Boulware said.

My Choice in Publishing
Publishing has never much felt like MY choice. A book is published like this: Someone decides its worthy. They put their name and labor behind it. Sell it to their people. Their people sell it to the world. That is when I will know I'm a writer. Or at least that is how I have been imprinted.
But lately the news has been bleak about the likelihood of that happening. And it keeps coming. Just this weekend the NYT published a story about Amazon stepping up to sign authors. Two days ago on Anne R Allen's blog, agents are overwhelmed, taking too many writers on and not serving the ones they have. Author advances have plummeted and big publishing houses are not willing to take chances on those new authors (watch this video from yesterday on Meghan Ward's Writerland). Besides, the story of an agent/editor finding me and falling in love with my book seems like another of those fairy tales I'm prone to.
My thoughts changed after my friend Anita self published. But not right away. My first thought rose in my stomach like a wave: So cool she is taking this risk. She is so brave and smart. But I am still going the traditional. My initial response, she can do that but not me, showing how attached I am to those old markers of success.
But since then I have watched the worlds attitude towards self-publishing shift. All the reports that the internet has made it possible for writers to get their books to readers faster than ever, cheaper for the readers, more lucrative for the writers. And more and more writers are making the choice. Just read this dialogue between Eisler and Konrath and you'll be convinced too. They say publishing houses are holding on to status quo for dear life against the tide of change and without considering the interest of readers or the interest of writers. Publishers are attached to their role as the gatekeeper and according to E and K, it's a missed opportunity (in the above link to Meghan Ward's video, Andy Ross talks about being a new agent right now and how being new allows him to approach the changes differently).
It's said that the printing press had a big part in the cultural and industrial revolutions. The gatekeepers of the time (the church) resisted and claimed that so much access to the written word to be the end of the world.
And the world did change a lot.
The printing press brought the world inexpensive ways to exchange information.
Sounds familiar. This article from Slate delineates a history technological scares from printing press to Facebook.
And the world still changes.
More and more people are reading books on hand held devices.
Not just people, but CHILDREN. And books can be delivered to them immediately. As it is the middle man is becoming obsolete. We cannot see how markers of success will be rewritten. With the printing press, publishers stepped in and were needed to get ideas to the people. How will the good books get to the children's hands? That is yet to be decided.
So...My Choice in Publishing: I don't know.
My book is not ready. I think it still needs someone to fall in love with it, take it on as one of their own, foster it out into the scary big world of the traditional/nontraditional published alike. So I will keep looking for that person until I can see and fix the book myself.
But my job is try to see the world without the lens of my attachments. I am a writer after all: we SEE things.
Can we let go of the world as we know it and step into the future with our eyes open as the canon shifts and shakes under our feet like the giant pile of paper books that it is?
Can we navigate the world not knowing what the future of books and publishing will be?
Well, we can at least write about it.
I will leave you with this:
Oh those Norwegians!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I don't think there is a wrong or right choice but it's up to each writer to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision!ReplyDelete
I agree, Laura! The world is changing around us and I just really hope I can adjust and grow with it. It's actually a pretty exciting time to be a writer. Thanks for reading.ReplyDelete
I think a lot of writers look for affirmation. It's a basic need. We want people to respect us (publishers) and other people to be proud of us (our families). That was the piece of the traditional route that was hardest to give up. It's been not just a writing journey for me, this indie epubbing thing, but an EMOTIONAL one. I've had to learn to respect and be proud of myself. Getting to that point emotionally is worth so much more than a book on a shelf.ReplyDelete
Anita: I didn't realize how much I needed to do that until recently. It has come up in teaching, in blogging, with Twitter. And the whole process has been so passive until now. You're right. It is worth a lot more to take an active role. I do so admire you! Thanks for sharing your leap with us. I am learning a lot from you in so many ways.ReplyDelete
I think a lot of the news and blogs and dialogue make it feel scary. Like you need to go one way or the other. Make a choice. But you really don't, IMHO. Or at least, you don't have to make one, singular choice. It still comes down to the book. Write the book.ReplyDelete
And I just have to add that it means so much that you think Ive been a model for you. I admire you so much in starting the practice room and bringing so many of us together. I'm actually teaching a workshop in the spring and might want to pick your brain at some point!
I think it is great to put this into a historical perspective--it takes some of the fear away.I'm so glad that you talk about amazon--I'm so interested to see how that plays out. I think we all need to stay informed!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
Kris, oh, I hope you do! How fun! I want to hear all about your workshop. And I absolutely mean it, you are totally a model. Your writing is beautiful and your tenacity is admirable and I would love to have the agent, the work for hire and the fab. possibilities you have! :)ReplyDelete
Heather: Yes, I do love this historical perspective in particular. And staying informed will be easier with all of us paying attention. Thanks for reading!
OMG the video. #toofunny #mustpostthatReplyDelete
Can we navigate the world not knowing what the future of books and publishing will be?
We haven't much choice, yeah? And so we must be brave and go forward without all the assurances of "knowing" the right thing to do. Jane Friedman had the best quote about this (I'm paraphrasing): "We don't know the right answer. No one does. So, we might as well just have fun with it."
I applaud your continued striving for craft because I think that's tremendously important. And when you're ready, your eyes are open and I know you'll make a good choice because of it.
(I also write MG and YA; I think YA is ready for e-books, but we'll see what Christmas brings for MG readers. If not this year, then in the next three for sure.)
You have time on your side in which to investigate and eventually decide what's right for you.ReplyDelete
TINA: I think the staying informed thing is great to a point. Some of us (okay, maybe it's just me) spend too much time staying informed (read: surfing the net), and not enough time writing.ReplyDelete
Susan, Yes! I agree with Jane! And the learning and crafting part is fun for me - luckily. Thanks so much for the visit. I'm heading out to check out your blog. I did like your cover over at Lynn 's blog!ReplyDelete
J.L - Thanks. I hope so! I feel like there isn't really a wrong decision as long as I get behind whatever it is all the way. :)
Anita, You're absolutely right. I am definitely guilty. More writing. More writing... November is around the corner. :)
I'm not positive what my choice in publishing is right now. But I'm happy that there are more viable choices right now. I will be able to share my book with others one day.ReplyDelete
Tina, you sure did an excellent job on this post. I love how you bring in the changes throughout history and how the world is always opposed to changes, at first. That videoclip is outrageously funny! I'm so glad you included that in this post. It's perfect! Haha!ReplyDelete
I have no doubt that you'll figure out which way to go with your first novel, and you might try another path with your second, etc. Thanks for adding all the other links, too. I haven't read them yet, but I will!
Lynn, Thanks! I love your enthusiasm out here and willingness to check everything out. It has been a pleasure to share in this blog ring with you!ReplyDelete
Tina, Just doing follow up on the blog ring and realized I must not have posted my comment. I had said something about how being an IT/Helpdesk person actually makes the above video even funnier because it's so inherently true! People are afraid of "new and change" because of the fear of doing something wrong. But that's life isn't it? You have to take that risk if you want to evolve. :) I loved your historical perspective. Thanks for the great post!ReplyDelete
Kelly! I totally missed your comment. I don't know how. Sorry I didn't respond to your awesome comment! That makes it so hopeful, I do believe you're right - there are so many alternatives for getting your work out there.ReplyDelete
Ansha - Thanks for the comment. Nice of you to come back. :) I love that video. It works so well to use the book where our conventions for reading are so ingrained and unquestioned. That video made them all seem new and that feeling of confusion is so familiar. Just think of the way our children will be so unconstrained by those same conventions. Yes, this whole new publishing world is so full of risks, but it is life! Yay!
Hot topic these days. Thanks for putting the option into perspective with a funny clip. Great blog!ReplyDelete
Thanks, Kelly Louise! Nice of you to visit. Glad you enjoyed the video!ReplyDelete
Two knobs existed on both Gruen vintage watches. The top of fake watches displayed the hour and minute hands while the lower switch, virtually as huge as the top of switch, only displayed the second hand. The Techni-Quadrons were conspicuously thought to be "doctor's watches" as this larger seconds subdial was easy to omega replica while measuring a patient's watch. This watch was moreover prevalent in the middle of engineers and other technical professions. Take serious notice that a dual switch Gruen vintage watch was not automatically a doctor's watch. The hour and minute hands on a Techni-Quadron are breitling replica on top where the the queen's enters the case as apposed to the center of the switch. Some of these watches had an expandable buckle to allow them to slide in the arm freeing the hand and arm. The Carre, sq in French, began production in 1931 and was a Greun pocket rolex replica formed like a sq. Technically a diamond shape considering the 12, 3, 6, and 9 switch numbers were in all the 4 corners. The watch was marketed to both ladies and men. Some watches had luminous hands and switch numbers to increase iwc replica sale in the dark. In the open position the case could stand upright allowing it to take a seat on an appartment surface. These Gruen vintage watches had a form of art Deco design and came in a number of case styles. The Carre was sold until 1934 and started at $55 (~$1400 today).ReplyDelete

Posted on 01/31/2011 1:39:48 PM PST by TheThirdRuffian
A teacher who advises colleagues on how to avoid affairs with students was caught having sex with a teenager in the back of her car.
Courtney Bowles was found by a police officer naked lying on top of the boy, who was also completely naked, from her school in Colorado. A partly consumed bottle of vodka was also found in the car with the couple

(Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
Teachers these days don't see kids as children. They see them as short adults.
It seems like every other day there is a new story about some teacher having sex with a student. Sheesh. The schools are so messed up....
Where were all these teachers when I was 16 and in highschool???
Age of consent int he UK is 16, however:
"The age of consent in England and Wales is 16, as specified by the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (section 9). However, if a person (A) over the age of 18 in a position of trust over a person (B) under the age of 18, it is illegal for A to engage in sexual activity with B. (section 16)"
Someone over 18 in a Position of Trust over someone who was 16.
And he was really objecting to it, fighting for his life even...
Ask your friends...
These perverted freaks see themselves as teenagers; they refuse to be adult, to act adult, to take on adult responsibility.
It happened in Colorado, not the UK. Just reported in a UK paper. A little confusing, I know.
When I was 16, the "hot" lady teachers were adults and knew not to fsck the kids.
Probably in church
Its a symptom of something very, very wrong.
Not guilty...if she does the entire jury.
They were busy hitting on the captain of the football team, as they are now.
I ask myself that very question whenever I see these stories. LOL.
"Where were all these teachers when I was 16 and in highschool???"
That's what i thought too when i saw her cute face on the mug shot :-)
Pray for the father and his two girls.
But was there any hard evidence?
she maybe not guilty but she sure is pathetic.
The teacher should be fired but not jailed. I just can't for the life of me see what harm this stuff does to teen age boys.
I don't think its so good for teen age girls when adult male teachers have sex with them.
double standard yes. Here too the adult male should be fired and maybe given some jail time.
Yes: it's evidence of arrested development, emotional retardation. The approving comments are also evidence arrested development and emotional retardation.
I wouldn't trust those folks anywhere near my kids.
I was so born in the wrong era. This one is not guilty.
[ Teachers these days dont see kids as children. They see them as short adults. ]
Progressive culture has always stressed that children were nothing more than "little adults" and they treat them as such which brings a LOT of problems like mother treating their teenage daughters as their "friends" and fathers treating their teenage sons like frat buddies as well as constantly asking little Jimmy or Jane "What would you like to eat? What would you like from the store?" (In a sickeningly sweet barf voice).
A lot of screwed up parenting comes from this sick idea that Children are "Little Adults" and it backfires because the kids that are treated this way end up living in arrested development for the rest of their lives....
Not guilty, your honor.
Maybe she was just performing "research" to better understand the colleagues she is dedicated to helping?
On a serious note though...I feel so sorry for her own children. When you fool around, it's not only your life you are messing with. Adultery is an extremely selfish act.
The perp in this particular case is of an age such that she was likely brought up wrong in the manner you describe.
"Counsellors were called into the Mountain View High School where she worked to help any children troubled by the arrest."
I always wonder at every little thing when "counselors" are called in, what they are actually doing.
Well, I hate public speaking and have never picked up a law book, but I think even I could successfully defend a male teacher in court if this were the case.
There's simply no way to justify the double standard.
Do they really need advice on how not to have affairs with their students? Does it go something like:
1. Don't drive to a park after dark with your student.
2. Don't drink a bottle of vodka with your student.
3. Don't get naked and get on top of your student.
4. And if you can't avoid 1-3 at least DON'T GET CAUGHT!
The officer also found a bottle of vodka inside the vehicle.
She was released on $50,000 bail but not allowed contact with anyone aged under 18 years of age, including her own children - both girls.
She faces up to ten years in jail if convicted of all the offences and placed on a sex offenders register for life.
I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Wow, I'm a liberal parent and I didn't even know it. I have 4 children, 17-32 and I always asked them what they wanted to eat, and if they wanted something from the store. Of course, in our house, we call it being mannerly and considerate.
I'd kill that B for messing with my son.
I'm a bit curious why this attractive woman would have anything to do with a student. Perhaps it sprang from wanting to get even with her hubby over something or other. But I doubt it was just a case of temptation calling.
"A teacher who advises colleagues on how to avoid affairs with students..."
This is a real job now ?
I hope the counselors aren't like this teacher.
Most of them weren't even born yet.
It's the other way around. It's adults who are regressing. If anything children are treated much more like children than say a century ago when they were expected to grow up much sooner. The Victorians saw children as "Little Adults"
Perpetual adolescence is a problem throughout the world. It's all pretty much the same whether you're talking about Bill Clinton's staff; barhoppers; thirty-something mothers trying to dress like teens; sports fans; and adult males (mammoni in Italy and "princes" in China).
...more like every day...
Perhaps, but I can't imagine any husband responding to something like this with anything other that shock, bewilderment and a little pity.
I'm quite sure she's thoroughly messed up in the head; she's committing adultery, she's committing a serious adult/child boundary violation, she's risking her job and family ... none of these are the actions of a person with his (or her) head on straight.
If she were a man, everyone would rightly deride her for "thinking with the little head", and condemn her for a pervert. Being as she is a woman, some folks with problems of their own are trying to excuse her malfeasance. They're wrong: she's a pervert who's thinking with the female equivalent of the "little head".
This is a real job now ?
Yeah, and it looks like it's open and the qualifications are pretty low. There's probably a retirement package, although CO teacher pay sucks. I hear the competition for the job opening will be stiff.
She should be under house arrest... at my house.
They weren't molesting their students and ruining their students' lives. Consider yourself fortunate that you weren't one of their victims.
At a guess, I'd venture that they're drawing a very good paycheck. Other than that....

SSA Announces New COLA
Yesterday, the Social Security Administration announced that beneficiaries will be receiving a 1.5 percent Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) this year. Although this update is below the 1.7 percent increase provided this year and the 3.6 percent increase provided for 2012, it is reflective of the relatively low inflation experienced over the past year.
New Report Finds Abuse of Disability Insurance System
Earlier this week, the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs convened a hearing addressing fraudulent behavior in the Social Security Disability Insurance System, which has already garnered significant national attention. The Chairman of the Committee, Sen.
Discussion with CBO Director Elmendorf on the Costs of Waiting to Address Fiscal Challenges
At the House Budget Committee hearing on CBO's Long-Term Outlook, Rep. Reid Ribble (R-WI), who last week sent a letter calling for action on Social Security, asked CBO director Doug Elmendorf about the cost of waiting for solutions on Social Security.
CBO: Social Security Looks Much Worse Than We Thought
Although some argue that policymakers can wait to solve our long-term entitlement problems, CBO's recent Long-Term Budget Outlook suggests otherwise. According to their projections, the Social Security program is in particular trouble -- and much worse than we thought. According to CBO's latest projections, the trust fund will become insolvent three years earlier than what we previously thought, and its long-term funding gap is 50 percent larger.
Congressman Ribble Calls for Action on Social Security
Recently, Congressman Reid Ribble (R-WI) sent a letter to his colleagues in Congress calling for them to use the upcoming fiscal discussions to push for comprehensive Social Security reform to make it solvent for future generations.
Making Disability Insurance Work Better
Naturally, lawmakers are diverting their attention to resolving sequestration, the debt ceiling, and the expiring continuing resolution, but another important budget matter is only a couple of years away. The Social Security Disability Insurance Program will exhaust its trust fund by 2016, at which point benefits will either need to be cut by 20 percent or transfers will need to be made from the old-age fund, shortening its lifespan by two years (2035 to 2033).
Orlando Sentinel: Make Social Security Part of Budget Solution
While many in Washington are bracing for more partisan brinksmanship in the upcoming negotiations over the debt ceiling and a potential government shutdown, it is easy to overlook the fact that these fiscal debates present an opportunity for a bipartisan compromise on a comprehensive deficit reduction deal. This morning, the Orlando Sentinel published an editorial making that case for including Social Security in the debate:
Disability Insurance and the Great Recession
Update: A new note from the Office of the Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration finds that allowance rates actually fell during the Great Recession. The Coe and Rutledge brief appears to have been removed from the website for the time being. This blog includes an extra paragraph discussing the SSA's findings.
CAP's Proposal to Improve Retirement Accounts
With President Obama set to give a speech in the coming weeks on retirement security, the Center for American Progress (CAP) has released a report describing a new retirement account that intends to improve on current 401(k)-type plans.
Want to Protect Low-Income Individuals? Look Toward a Grand Bargain
Today, a piece in the Financial Times shows the unnecessary damage being done by the ongoing sequester -- in this case, sharp cuts to federal support for low-income housing.

Message to Adolf, Part 1 (Hardcover)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
It is 1936 in Berlin, Nazi Germany. A Japanese reporter named Sohei Tohge is covering the Berlin Olympic Games for the Japanese press. As he sits in the Japanese press box watching the many track and field events of the day, he receives a call from his younger brother Isao, who has been studying in Germany as an international student. The two make plans to meet as Isao mentions he has something of importance to share with his sibling. While Sohei initially thinks his little brother may have found a young frau, Isao's tone is clearly that of one who is troubled by topics much heavier than romance.
When Sohei arrives at Berlin University, he finds his brother's room has been through some sort of violent ordeal. A mysterious message was left on a note pad and a window was left wide open. And tangled in the branches of a tree directly below Isao's window rested his dead body. Isao was murdered.
Sohei would immediately launch an investigation to the murder, but almost instantly all traces of information regarding his younger brother's study in Germany has vanished. The police were of no help. Isao's room was also cleared and rented out to another person. Even his building manager feined ignorance. It was as if he had never existed.
Investigating the matter, it is later learned that this murder is connected to a document he mailed to Japan with information regarding Adolf Hitler. As events progress, the lives of three Adolfs, each from distinct origins, intertwine and become more and more tangled as Sohei Toge searches for his brother's murderer.
About the Author
Regarded by many as the "God of Manga" Osamu Tezuka was born in 1928 in Toyonoka, in Osaka, Japan. A prolific author and artist, Tezuka is generally regarded as the single figure responsible for developing Japan's massive manga and anime industries. His cinematic art style and novelistic narratives have made his work as universally accessible and relevant now as when first published in Japan. A list of his well-known and universally loved work includes the classic JUNGLE EMPEROR LEO (also known as Kimba the White Lion), BLACK JACK, ADOLF, MIGHTY ATOM (known as ASTRO BOY in the U.S.) and METROPOLIS (recently made into a hit anime film). Tezuka continued creating comics until his death in 1989.
Praise For…
Winner of the 1986 Kodansha Manga Award for Best Manga
"Adolf is one of Japan's greatest manga epics... The perfect choice for those who don't normally read manga. There's humor here, but also monstrous acts that defy comprehension. Adolf is an emotional and complex work that proves once again that comic books can be equal to any great literary novel. Whether you love manga, super hero books or personal tales, Adolf is one series you must read." - IGN.com

Der Aufenthalt in Granada war sehr unkompliziert. Wir haben uns getroffen, haben die schlüssel bekommen und super tolle tipps für granada selbst. die wohnung lag mitten im geschehen. kann ich nur weiterempfehlen
We met Christian on arrival and have never experienced such enthused hospitality! He told us all about the places we needed to see, the food we needed to eat, his personal favourites, how to get past tourist lines, ideal times to see particular places, as well as thoroughly answering all of our questions about Granada. The apartment is beautiful, clean and in a very safe area (Albaycin is easily the prettiest part of Granada, and I'd highly recommend staying here!).
Thank you so much, Sabrina and Christian! X
We were very pleased with the central but quiet apartment. Christian gave us valuable tips about Granada.
Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit der zentral und trotzdem ruhig gelegenen Wohnung. Christian hatte uns wertvolle Tipps über Granada gegeben.
The apartment is very centrally located, surrounded by narrow alleys of the Arab quarter. Public transport is just around the corner. The apartment is comfortably furnished and very clean. However, due to its location in a courtyard it is quite dark. The hosts are very helpful and explain in detail the way to the sights of Granada and the best tapas bars. We will come back.
Die Wohnung liegt sehr zentral, inmitten der engen Gassen im arabischen Viertel. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind gleich um die Ecke. Die Wohnung ist gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber. Durch die Lage in einem Innenhof ist sie jedoch ziemlich dunkel. Die Gastgeber sind sehr hilfsbereit und erklären ausführlich die Wege zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten Granadas und zu den besten Tapas-Bars.
Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Christian warmly welcomed us. The apartment is very well located. propre.Nous and did everything on foot and left the car in a nearby and free parking throughout the stay. We also enjoyed the roof terrace. We recommend it.

This apartment was in a fantastic location,within walking distance of everything you want to see or do in Granada.The apartment was also very quiet and cool,for visiting Granada in the warmer months.Sabrina and Christian provided some cooking condiments which add a very nice touch.Our only hesitation in giving this apartment a 100% recommendation is the quality of the bed linen,towels and pillows.It is definitely time they are all replaced as these are the things that need to be of a high standard when staying away from the comfort of your own home.
Christiane has told us excited about Cranada. Our apartment was cozy and central clean.We were delicious. Great place to enjoy.

text: Is the 2011 Crisis a Rerun of the 2008 Crash? Seth J. Masters October 04, 2011 Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Multi-Asset The equity market meltdown of the past two weeks has raised widespread fears that we're headed for a repeat of the wealth destruction seen in 2008. There are certainly some close parallels, but I also see some very big differences in the root causes of the two crises. The Parallels In both periods triple-A ratings on widely held bonds came into question. In both periods fears about the quality of those bonds spread globally and across asset classes. And in both periods uncertainty about government policy and regulation added fuel to the fire and led to a crisis of confidence. The Differences The crisis in 2008 rose from the bottom up on concerns that banks would have huge losses on their once-triple-A-rated mortgage securities. The 2011 market drop started at the top: The outlook for sovereign debt, supposedly the safest asset class, came into question. In 2008 the financial sector was weak. In 2011 it is much stronger because banks have raised capital and taken advantage of the steep yield curve. In 2008 companies were overleveraged and dependent on short-term debt for operating capital. In 2011, U.S. corporations have $2 trillion in cash on hand and rock-solid balance sheets — and they are generating huge amounts of cash as well. The balance sheets of non-U.S. companies are also much stronger than they were, although not quite as strong as their U.S. counterparts. In 2008 consumers were overleveraged. They have been deleveraging ever since. They have more work to do in this regard, but they are moving in the right direction. Last, hedge funds are far less leveraged than they were three years ago and have much less exposure to illiquid assets, so they are much less likely to be forced sellers driving the market down. Forced selling was a crucial element in the market drop of 2008. What does this mean to us as portfolio managers? Where we manage multi-asset-class portfolios with a one-year horizon, we've been reducing equity exposure below the strategic asset allocation. We've also hedged about half the euro exposure for many U.S.-based clients in these portfolios to mute the risks from the euro's structural problems. But from a long-term perspective, we find stocks uncommonly attractive relative to the fixed-income alternative. Equity valuations, which were low even before the market turbulence of the past two weeks, have fallen even lower. Yet companies now have strong upside potential, for several reasons: Lower oil prices, like a tax cut, will increase consumers' spending power. If inflation fears recede, emerging-markets countries such as China will be able to adopt more stimulative policies. There is a pent-up demand for capital spending, which has been deferred for the past three years. Interest rates are low, and expected bond returns are muted. As a result, the U.S. equity risk premium—the difference between the long-term expected return on the Standard & Poor's 500 index and ten-year Treasury yields—had hit 8 percent by Monday's close (display ). That's about double its long-term average and close to the historic peak it reached in early 2009, which proved to be an excellent time to buy stocks. We expect that the same will hold true now—for those with a ten-year time horizon.

Art and Apparel Design Applicants
Candidates for admission into Art (including BA in Fine Arts, BFA in Fine Arts, and the BFA in Visual Communications) and Apparel Design must submit the Common Application including the "Art Supplement." Within the Art Supplement, applicants will submit a digital portfolio demonstrating creative experience and ability along with a related essay. Portfolios should be submitted by November 1 for Spring transfer consideration, January 15 for Freshman consideration, and May 1 for Fall Transfer consideration. Portfolio requirements for admission into Art can be found here. Portfolio requirements for admission into Apparel Design can be found here.
Home-Schooled Students OR
Students from Schools that are not Regionally Accredited
Each year, some of our best candidates for admission are students who have been home-schooled. Dozens of home-schooled undergraduates are currently enrolled at all class levels at the University of Delaware. Approximately half of them are on the dean's list.
To help us evaluate home-schooled applicants, we ask that students provide reading lists for the home-schooled courses they have completed along with a transcript of their grades. A sample portfolio of your work or a sample research paper you have written is often helpful to the Admissions Committee.
We also ask that, in addition to the SAT Reasoning Test, home-schooled applicants submit officially reported scores for at least two SAT Subject Tests of their choice. In lieu of the SAT Reasoning Test and the SAT Subject Test, you may submit an officially reported ACT score, as long as it includes the ACT Writing Test. The ACT Assessment covers English, Math, Reading, Science, and Writing. These additional scores will help us gauge a home-schooled student's mastery of various subjects.
Students who attend high schools that are not regionally accredited should follow these same recommendations that we are giving to home-schooled students.
University Honors Program
The Honors Program at the University of Delaware is one of the oldest in the U.S. Enrolling approximately 450 freshman each year, UD's Honors Program is for students who have excelled in high school /and/ want to stretch themselves academically during their college career. A typical Honors applicant has taken advantage of opportunities for further engagement and is looking to continue those experiences in college. In Honors courses students are expected to be active in their own learning and to be far-reaching and demanding of themselves in their efforts. Honors faculty have higher expectations of them, creating a culture of academic debate and achievement. The students themselves -- an interesting mix of talents and intellect -- are the heart of the program.
To be considered for admission to the Honors Program, students must complete the Common Application, answering "yes" to the Honors interest question in the "Academics" section, and penning one of the following Honors essays with 250-word minimum/500-word maximum response.
Music Applicants
Candidates for admission into Music must submit the Common Application including the "Art Supplement." Applicants are also required to audition.
Audition dates for 2014-2015 are February 2-7 as well as by appointment. To schedule your
audition or to discuss alternatives if you are unable to come to
campus, please call (302) 831-8426. Audition information can be found online.
Not every instrument will be available to audition every day, due to professors' availability. Please visit the Department of Music website (www.music.udel.edu) for instrument-specific audition dates for the 2013-2014 admission season.
Occupational Therapy (Health Sciences) Applicants
Candidates for admission to the 3+2 Occupational Therapy-Health Sciences program (in collaboration with Thomas Jefferson University) must provide us with an additional essay within the Common Application, no later than January 15, sharing their interest in a career in the Occupational Therapy profession. Finalists will be selected from the applicant pool to interview with faculty and staff at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, PA in late February.
Undergraduate Admission
The University of Delaware exclusively accepts the Common Application. All applicants must submit the Common Application online. Please review all UD requirements here and apply via The Common Application website.
Application to the University of Delaware is competitive. Each year we receive more than 26,000 applications for a freshman class of 3,800 students. The application deadline is January 15, although you are encouraged to submit your application early in your senior year. Decisions are typically made eight to 12 weeks after all application materials are received. Applicants who submit all materials by the deadline will receive a response no later than April 1. (Please note that an initial admissions decision may be a "withhold" decision, in which a student is asked to provide more information to the Office of Admissions.)

Medic Pumpkin by bluehentrooperWatch
©2011-2016 bluehentrooper
In what may become a tradition for me, here is yet another TF2 Achievement pumpkin. This time it's the Surgical Prep Medic Achievement. Once again, all I did was blow the design up on the computer and then carve it into my pumpkin.
Happy Halloween
Design belongs to Valve

I'm actually going to do this, if you don't mind. Ill credit you!
You don't need my permission to do one of your own. The design belongs to Valve, so as long as you credit them, you should be good. If you want to mention that you got the idea from me, that would be cool, though.
This pumpkin is so epic.. I would love to have medic outside my door..
I had a lot of fun carving it. Nobody who came to the house recognized it, but that's okay. People on deviant art seem to like it.
That's nice.. Sorry to hear about no one came who knew what tf2 was... But it is great that people on DA appreciate it
That's a brilliant idea! And it turned out fantastic, too.
Haha, that's awesome! XD
*Ripping the Pumpkin's guts out*. Oops~ That wasn't medicine.
That one made me laugh. Thanks for the comment.
Oh dude. That is so awesome.
so cool !!
Now all you need to do is attach some TNT.

Respond to Review of Veganoteca
by Blueberries
Review: Veganoteca is a completely vegan shop that sells all sorts of speciality vegan items. They have two very densely-packed fridges full of vegan meats and cheeses, including Vegusto, Redwoods, Wheaty, Tofutti and more. The freezer also has meats and ice-creams and the shelves are full of everything from vegan chocolate to mayonaise. They even have a little bakery case where you can get doughnuts and croissants. The people working there are always very nice too. Not far from Plaça Universidad metro station, so is pretty central.

I have a Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate box which is my main machine / "server". I also have an 'accountant' account (of type: standard user) which is for my accountant to RDP into the machine to check up on my QuickBooks from time to time. The actual QuickBooks files are sync'd using DropBox between 1) my user account on main machine 2) accountant account on main machine and 3) my account on my laptop. Since only one person uses QuickBooks at a time (and dropbox has a revert feature) this isn't a problem.
I would like to harden the setup a bit more by the following:
- Prevent access to any drive that is not "C:". Currently I've added NTFS permissions to DENY access to the accountant account but that doesn't work for FAT drives nor for USB drivers whose drive letters change
- Prevent the accountant account from shutting down the machine
- Prevent the accountant account from browsing C:\ 'freely'
My guess is these requirements are not new or exotic so may have been already addressed by some tool in the IT industry. Granted it's not a server OS, but how can I get as close to my needs as possible?
