Green Job Growth in the United States
By Ray Block on July 22, 2009
The green job numbers may seem small against the current US recession, with unemployment is moving towards 10 per cent. Three quarters of a million green jobs represent only half a per cent of all jobs in the US to-day. But research shows that between 1998 and 2007, clean energy economy jobs- a mix of white and blue collar positions grew by 9.1 per cent, while total jobs grew by only 3.7 per cent. Signalling new market opportunities, venture capital investment in clean technology crossed the US$1 billion threshold in 2005, and continued to grow substantially, totalling about $12.6 billion during the past three years.

Wednesday is usually one of the busiest days of the week for an NFL team because it's the first day of practice for the upcoming game Sunday.
Wednesday was that and more for Saints coach Sean Payton.
He held his daily news conference five hours earlier than usual to announce four roster moves — including the release of veteran kicker Garrett Hartley –and that rookie Terron Armstead will make his first start at left tackle in Sunday's huge NFC South showdown atCarolina.
Even though the Saints cut Hartley and cornerback Chris Carr on Tuesday, moves that were released on the NFL's transaction wire, the team didn't officially announce them until Wednesday.
Their roster spots were filled by kicker Shayne Graham, who spent seven seasons of his 12-year career with the Cincinnati Bengals, and safety Eric Frampton, a seven-year veteran who excels on special teams.
Payton, who was openly critical of his team's performance after Sunday's 27-16 loss to the St. Louis Rams, said the unusual late-season changes for a team that will likely be in the playoffs wasn't for effect.
"You don't do that," Payton said. "At least we don't."
When asked how the moves were viewed by the team, Payton said he couldn't speak for his players before noting they can win the division title and nail down the No. 2 seed for the playoffs Sunday.
"I think spirits were down after the loss," he noted. "Our guys are pretty resilient, though. We'll bounce back. I think they all understand the nature of this business."
ON NOTICE: Both quarterback Drew Brees and linebacker Curtis Lofton, two of the team's captains, said they knew changes would be coming after the Saints failed miserably against a 5-8 Rams team.
"Sean flat-out said, 'There's probably going to be some changes made around here, and some of you won't like it,'" Brees said of the transactions and demotion of tackle Charles Brown, who was benched in the third quarter.
"I would definitely say you're on notice," Lofton said. "The thing about this league is you're being evaluated every time you step out on the football field, whether it's in practice or whether it's in a game.
"When you make a move like that, it's telling everyone: 'You're accountable. And you're not just accountable to the players, but you're accountable to this organization and to these fans.' When you don't go out and execute and play the way you should play, then there are consequences."
TOUGH DECISION: Payton admitted it was tough to part with Hartley, a six-year veteran who helped the Saints win Super Bowl XLIV in 2009.
Hartley was connecting on 84.5 percent of his field-goal attempts going into this season, but struggled at midseason in misfiring on four of six attempts.
He had a 36-yard field goal blocked by the Rams and shanked a 26-yarder that sealed his fate. He was 22-of-30 this season, dropping him to 81.2 percent for his career.
"He responded very well earlier in the year when he had a handful of misses," Payton said. "But then it was more difficult to see (him miss) the shorter-range field goal. You spent a lot of time giving it thought, and ultimately you go with your gut."
That's not to say it didn't hurt, Payton said, after cutting a player that kicked a game-winning field goal in overtime of the NFC Championship game in 2009 and then had three field goals of 40 yards or longer in the Super Bowl.
"When you do something and win a championship like that, it is a little bit stronger bond between everyone that was on that team on that bus ride home and a part of it. So absolutely (it's tough)," he said.
SAYING GOODBYE: Punter Thomas Morstead was among those who felt for Hartley after he was released.
Morstead said he spoke with his close friend on the plane ride home fromSt. Louisand they had dinner Monday night. A somber Morstead said it's a part of the game.
"It's the NFL," he said. "I guess this is part of what makes it special. It's precious. You can be fired as quick as that. It's tough, but it's another reminder."
"Your heart hurts for (Hartley) with some of the struggles we've had and he's had this year," Brees said. "That's kind of a shakeup, but it's also a reality check. That could be any one of us if we're not getting the job done."
PRACTICE REPORT: Only one player was held out Wednesday when the Saints returned to practice.
Safety Rafael Bush, who plays in the dime package, did not participate because of an ankle injury that has kept him out of the past two games.
Only three players were listed as having limited participation: LB Keyunta Dawson (calf), SS Roman Harper (hip) and TE Josh Hill (hamstring).
Dawsonhas been sidelined for the past three games, while Hill missed last week's game.
For the Panthers, TE Greg Olsen (toe) and RB Jonathan Stewart (knee) did not practice, while WR Steve Smith (finger) was limited.

There was plenty to do and plenty of people doing it at Saturday's 2006 Polk Street Block Party.
As the sun descended, the festivities picked up for the 10 p.m. relighting of the Paramount Theater sign, the brightest jewel in downtown Amarillo's crown.
The refurbished red, white and yellow sign rests at its original home on the Paramount Building, 817 S. Polk.
Fun and activities stretched from Sixth Avenue to 10th Avenue with Amarillo's skyline as the backdrop.
Jerry Laing and his son, Alan Laing, 11, came ready to have a good time.
The younger Laing, a sixth-grader at Bushland Elementary, had his face painted.
"Like Gene Simmons, the singer," Laing said, a believable look-alike of the rock-and-roll star. "Well, my dad, he gave me a CD and I got interested in it."
Meanwhile, Damien Rodriguez, an 11th-grader at Randall High School, ate a turkey drumstick while relaxing in the bed of a pickup truck.
"It's going all right, right now but it usually gets busy when it gets dark. It gets real busy," said Rodriguez, speaking above the music.
Were you spotted?
Check out spotted.amarillo.com on Monday to see if you were spotted at the Polk Street Block Party.
He's worked the block party for seven years at Suannah's, owned by his grandmother Mary Darnell.
Anticipation for the relighting slowly grew amid the sun-baked children and parents, young couples and men and women.
Los 3 Kings of Amarillo put on a good show with the notes of Lyndrd Skynrd's "Simple Kind of Man" reverberating in the concrete canyons just a stone's throw from the 31-story Chase Bank building.
Smoke rolled down Polk Street, carrying with it the sweet scent of barbecue.
Many of those attending gravitated to the shade of buildings. However, Jace Gage, his wife, Gaye, and their son, Micah, 6, weren't about to miss the fun.
"This is the first time we've been here," said Jace, who moved to Amarillo in June from north central Texas.
"We thought we'd come down and see what it looked like."

TORONTO (AP) — Ilya Bryzgalov made 29 saves for his third shutout in the past four games and Claude Giroux scored the only goal in the shootout and the Philadelphia Flyers earned a 1-0 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday.
Bryzgalov made his 11th straight start in goal for Philadelphia. His biggest save came on a Phil Kessel breakaway in overtime. He also denied the Leafs forward in the shootout to preserve the victory.
Jonas Gustavsson made 27 saves for the Maple Leafs, who have dropped their seventh straight home game.
Toronto is six points back of the eighth-place Capitals in the Eastern Conference heading into Sunday's game at Washington.

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a proper morphism, and $\mathcal{F}$ be a coherent sheaf on the small \'{e}tale site $X_{et}$, flat over $Y$. For each geometric point $\bar{y}\to Y$, regard the pull back $\mathcal{F}_{\bar{y}}$ as a coherent sheaf for the Zarisky topology on $X_{\bar{y}}$. Define the following function $h^i(\bar{y},\mathcal{F})=\dim_{\Omega(\bar{y})}H^i(X_{\bar{y}},\mathcal{F}_{\bar{y}})$. I want to know whether the theorems Chap III 12.8, 12.9, 12.11 in Hartshorne are still true for this function $h^i$ on all geometric points? I appreciate it if anyone can give a reference if the statements are true.
Maybe I need to explain my concern by distinguishing a geometric point and a point. Let $\bar{y}\to Y$ be a geometric point of $Y$ with the image $y\in Y$. Let $k(y)$ denote the residue field of the point $y$, and $\Omega(\bar{y})$ denote the separably algebraically closed field containing $k(y)$. I think the statements would follow from the following statement $\dim_{\Omega(\bar{y})}H^i(X_{\bar{y}},\mathcal{F}_{\bar{y}})=\dim_{k(y)}H^i(X_y,\mathcal{F}_y)$. But this is not obvious to me. Am I being stupid?

Bio-Medical Research has come up with what seems to be the ultimate alternative to a surgical facelift. It's simply called the Facial Toner. Because I already have the Tummy Toner from BMR (and am so happy with the results from it), I was absolutely thrilled to try out the Facial Toner.
Wear it well
This beauty device resembles a pair of headphones and is designed to be worn directly on the face. It's a lightweight device that delivers a gentle stimulation to the skin, and with continued use can rejuvenate skin back to a more youthful appearance. There is no pain or discomfort with treatments, as the strength of the stimulation is controlled by the user.
Get your tone on
The BMR Beauty Facial Toner has 3 different toning programs, which call for the device to be worn for just twenty minutes for 5 sessions a week, for the first twelve weeks. Then, just 2 treatments each week thereafter to keep skin looking youthful. The Facial Toner offers ninety-nine treatment levels for easy customization.
How it's used
Starting with a clean face and a charged Facial Toner control unit, you apply the included gel pads to your face. Then connect the applicator (the part that looks like headphones) to the little control unit (the part that looks like an older-style iPod) and pick the program you desire. Wear it for twenty minutes while you relax, read a book, watch TV, etc., and then that's it! Wait twenty-four hours and do it again.
Oh, how I love my BMR Facial Toner!
I received the Facial Toner from BMR Beauty to review and I have to say this is definitely one of the most awesome review products I have ever received.
After using it for just a couple of weeks, I have definitely noticed a difference. More than anything, I've noticed that my skin tone is more even than it was before I started using the Facial Toner and that my skin strangely seems more moisturized overall. And even though the device sits on your cheeks near your ears, it seems the fine lines near the corners of my eyes are less noticeable. Call me crazy, but this thing is working!
I really love how easy it is to use and the fact that I can just put it together, put it on, and continue doing what I need to do. Sometimes I'll put it on after I wash my face when I wake up, grab a cup of coffee, and go watch TV or catch up on some emails. Sometimes I'll fold some laundry or pick up the house. Either way, I love it because you hardly know it's there. The tingling you feel is mild to moderate but is not painful or bothersome to me at all. I find this method far better than applying a messy facial mask or treatment first thing in the morning.
Want to see my results?
Since I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, I'm not even a quarter of the way through the recommend twelve-week therapy and I'm already thrilled with my results. I'm really excited to see my results after a few more weeks and then at the end of the twelve weeks too. I'll be sharing actual untouched photos of my results soon on the PS Beauty Blog.
Do you totally need the BMR Facial Toner too?
The BMR Facial Toner is available at www.bloomingdales.com for $395.

Jens Oliver Kraemer, an architecture student from Stuttgart, Germany has an interesting virtual tour of one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most engaging residential designs, the Ralph Jester House (1938). As stated on the site:
The Project for Ralph Jester at Palos Verdes, California, is the first residence design where Wright uses the circle to the fullest...The house was designed for a coastal desert climate and a client working in the movie business. The use of circles in any design poses obvious problems: How to deal with the interstices between the circles where they touch one another, how to deal with furnishing...( and how to get matching interior renderings in perspective view...)
This design was never built for its original client, however a version of it does exist on the campus of Taliesin West (brought to life by Bruce Brooks Pfeiffer.) It's a remarkable use of space and one that obviously fired the imagination of Jens.
One last thought--we have always been amused that Wright was the trend-setter for the idea of the "infinity pool"--a staple of the (once) popular TV show, the O.C.
Click here to explore the virtual Jester House. Enjoy!

THE addition of Dual VVT (Variable Valve Timing) for greater flexibility and response has resulted in further reductions in carbon dioxide emissions as well as improvements to fuel economy on the Suzuki Alto.
The latest model, which is now on sale, also incorporates a new design interior colour and fabric trim, new full wheel covers for SZ and SZ3 models and dipping rear view mirror.
Alto with manual transmission new emits 99 g/km and is therefore exempt from theLondoncongestion charge, which brings a potential annual cost saving of £2,600 to a commuter travelling into the capital five days a week, and is £0 rated for Vehicle Excise Duty.
The optional automatic transmission equipped SZ4 model now also benefits from lower emissions with a reduction to 118 g/km from 122 g/km.
The Alto shares the 1.0 litre three-cylinder K10B petrol unit with the European built entry-level Splash model. Combined cycle fuel consumption is 65.7 mpg.

When you complete the steps for creating a new application and project, the Projects panel in the Application Navigator should look like this:
In JDeveloper, an application keeps track of the projects (collections of related files) you use while developing your application. Different projects might contain files representing different tiers of a multi-tier application, for instance, or different subsystems of a complex application. These files can reside in any directory and still be contained within a single project.
The Fusion Web Application (ADF) template that you used for your web application partitions your application into two projects: Model and ViewController. Projects are displayed as the top level in the hierarchy in the Application Navigator. In the application, you will use the Oracle ADF Business Components technology in the Model project, and the ADF Faces and ADF Page Flow technologies in the ViewController project. The technologies were included in the projects when you created the application using the selected template.
In the Application Navigator you can collapse and expand any panel. You adjust the size of panels by dragging the splitter between two panels. To group and sort items in the Projects panel, use the Navigator Display Options dropdown menu. For application operations, you can click Application Menu and choose an option from the dropdown menu.
JDeveloper has the capability of recognizing many different file types, displaying each in its appropriate viewer or editor when you double-click the file in the Application Navigator. Closing an application or project closes all open editors or viewers for files in that application or project and unloads the files from memory.
Note: Nodes in italics in the Application Navigator mean that the elements have not yet been saved. A project node is bold when a file in the project is selected or open in an editor.
The Application Overview window opens by default in the editor window area when you create a new application.
The Checklist steps you through the building of a Fusion Web application, according to Oracle recommended best practices. It optionally walks you through the entire process of configuring and building your application, with links to specific dialogs and wizards. Each step is also designed to teach you about the architecture, tools and resulting files using a combination of links to step-by-step instructions, relevant sections of the Developer's Guides, and descriptions of what happens in the IDE as a consequence of doing the work in a step.
All files and artifacts that you create within JDeveloper appear in the file summary pages, organized by object type. You can create new files and artifacts, and view them filtered by status and project.
You can optionally close the window, since you will not be using it to create objects for this application.

Grayfriars Square
Favorite Local Hideaway
Copenhagen, 1154
Gråbrødretorv square is one of the busiest and most popular areas in the city, with its many indoor and outdoor restaurants. Many outdoor summer events take place here, especially during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. For tourists, the pedestrian Gråbrødretorv can be difficult to find because it is surrounded by houses. Many of the lopsided, half-timbered houses on Gråbrødretorv go as far back as 1730. Others were built after the British bombardment in 1807. The name of the square originates from the cloister of Gråbrødre, which was located on it from 1238 to 1530. Before that, it was called Ulfeldts Square after the Lord Chancellor Corfitz Ulfeldt. After his treason against his brother-in-law Frederik III, a monument of infamy was raised to him in the middle of the square, and in 1841 the square's name was changed to Gråbrødretorv.
Nearest Train or Bus:
Nørreport Station
Best Modes of Transportation: Walking
Notes: The only way to get about is to walk the cobbled stones--it is part of the experience. This is central Copenhagen, safe, interesting, and full of little semi-hidden gems. The square is off Strogart; when heading east, turn left at Helligånds Kirke, along a narrow street, and suddenly almost without warning it opens onto the square.
Parking Availability: No

Elise Foreman, Resident Blogger ('16, Emory University School of Law)
Stories depicting the regulation and subsequent criminalization of the poor are far too common, almost mundane, in a country that espouses the virtues of democracy and asserts constitutional rights in the drop of a hat. However, the recent kerfuffle in Arizona points to something even more sinister baked into America's apple pie coating. Earlier this week, the state's GOP vice president (rightfully) resigned his post after advocating for sterilization of the state's Medicaid recipients. This cracker-jack reasoning was punctuated with the statement: ". . . if you want to (reproduce) or use drugs or alcohol, then get a job." (Full story here). The debate over drug testing for government aid recipients has been dissected ad nauseum, and fortunately been struck down in the courts. (For a review of this issue, see The Huffington Post's collection).
But this latest call for sterilization should cause hesitation in even the most conservative thinkers. In a political climate that still hotly debates abortion even 40 years following Roe v. Wade, these statements point to a dissonance in the reproductive debate. Certainly there is a difference between birth control and abortion, however the point remains centered over the control one has over his or her reproductive future. Individuals, by virtue of being human, claim the right to exercise complete autonomy over their reproductive choices; this right is not premised on his or her financial situation or employment status. Regulating the reproductive choices of an individual based upon his or her Medicaid status demonstrates that such individual should be disallowed of this inherent human right because he or she is in fact less than human. No person or entity should breach another's bodily integrity, nor advocate for rules that do so. For once and for all, get the government out of these intimate decisions and focused on topics it should be discussing. I have a list.

Three is the most complained about mobile provider, says Ofcom
Talk Talk is the most complained about broadband service
BRITISH TELECOMS REGULATOR Ofcom published its latest complaints data on the major players in the mobile telecom, broadband and pay TV industries today.
According to the latest report that spans April through June this year, Three was the most complained about mobile operator during the quarter.
"Three [was] the most complained about provider for the period April to June 2012, with 0.15 complaints per 1,000 customers," the report said. "Most of these complaints were mainly driven by disputes over charges and issues with customer service."
A spokesman from Three told The INQUIRER, "We are always trying to improve our service and where issues do occur, deal with them quickly and fairly. Resolving any issues promptly is a focus for the business."
Once again, O2 was least complained about mobile provider, generating 0.02 complaints per 1,000 customers.
Ofcom said T-Mobile, Vodafone and Orange all had pay-monthly mobile complaints in excess of the industry average.
As to broadband providers, Talk Talk improved for the third quarter in a row but still managed to top the complaints chart, with 0.42 per 1,000 customers kicking up a fuss. However, this was down from 0.56 in the first quarter and 0.61 in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Talk Talk told The INQUIRER in a statement, "Technical faults are fixed faster, more support is being offered when customers move house, and our online support system, which now accounts for 70 percent of customer contacts, is being further enhanced."
The least complained about broadband provider was Sky's broadband service, 0.10 complaints per 1,000 customers.
Ofcom's data shows that in the second quarter of 2012, all broadband providers included in the research generated fewer complaints to Ofcom compared to the previous quarter.
The report is Ofcom's sixth quarterly installment since it began issuing such reports, aiming to provide information to help consumers make informed decisions when considering a new service or provider. µ

We accept everything you've done yourself, but no solely screenshot based material. If you submit something that does not abide by the following guidelines, your submission will be refused! But if you drew, wrote or otherwise made it yourself, this is the home for your Dragon Age related fanstuff! That being said, we also reserve the right not to accept any submissions.
Submission cap is 3 deviations per member per day.
Our founding principle is to offer a place to show any and all Dragon Age -related fanART and fiction. That means that as long as it is written, drawn, or otherwise made by you, we accept it. The days of unmoderated submissions are over, though, so every piece has to be accepted by a moderator. As we have quite a few staff members, this shouldn't take long, but have patience. Please do not resubmit if it takes a bit of time or the piece is rejected. We will inform you why the piece is rejected, if that happens! There is basically only one reason as to how that can happen (apart from art theft), which is...
...we do not, from now on, accept any kind of screenshot-based deviations. PARTS of screenshots may be used as building blocks of a deviation, and even unedited ones may be used as PREVIEW IMAGES of fanfics.
If you're at all hesitant about your piece, consult the following guide (written by Abadir):
Unaltered ingame screenshots are NOT allowed for submission.
A piece including screenshot material should meet at least TWO of these requirements:
It is used only as part of the final image (as background, element of a collage, etc.)
It is part of an sequence of images that are NOT screenshots. (eg. a comic)
The original image is altered through adjustment (blurred, de/recolored, stylized, etc.) or with the addition of drawings or rendered elements, (ESPECIALLY NOTE: this alone is not enough. Two requirements.)
Most importantly, the deviation must always contain your own artistic input in some form or another, be it posing, drawing, writing or whatever.
Simple addition of text, speech bubbles and/or frames or collages of unaltered screenshots doesn't make the screenshot considered "edited".
This rule should be applied also for animations and video captures. However, video captures and animations may be justified within an original montage of unrelated scenes and/or with the audio.
3D renders made with programs like 3D Studio, Poser, XNALara etc. of models included or inspired by those used in game or using in-game textures are not considered screenshots, as setting the scene, the materials and the pose, even if is made with stock library elements or third party figures (though those, mostly in Poser, are usually altered with morphs), presupposes that the artist HAS worked on the piece himself, even if he or she skipped the model/texturing part, and it's not a screen capture of something the program does automatically.
WE RECOMMEND, though, that if you use imported textures and models from the games, at least a part of your render has been altered by you somehow, not just the pose. Makes things more interesting.
So what do we not accept?
Unedited screenshots (even if they are "staged" ingame, or contain custom content, it's still a no)
Motivational posters
Memes filled ONLY with screenshots
Character sheets (unless you drew the portrait)
Anything made with an online flash-based doll-editor is strictly not acceptable in any way. (Unless you make a Dragon Age -related doll-maker yourself!)
Non-Dragon Age related stuff (duh)
Smudge paintings will be declined. Please also avoid tracing your work.
Any other deviations only consisting of pre-existing material (screenshot collages, identical twins) with no visible personal input.
Please consider that this is no statement about whether or not the aforementioned are art, or possibly interesting, it is just a principle we have decided on. We want to spread art made by people's own hands, and we hope you can respect that. There are other groups that accept these things, so you can always post to them!
The galleries should be pretty clear, but if you're hesitating between folders, this guide may help you! As we get really quite a lot of submissions, we also have quite a few folders just to make it easier for people to browse through our galleries. Think of it as an investment for the future: if someone is only interested in, say, cosplay, they don't need to browse through loads of other stuff to find it.
NOTE: Any Mature content, regardless of media, should go to the mature content -folder. As to what is accepted, anything that abides by the dA guidelines is fine!
Remember to be mindful of other people's inboxes. The submission cap is 3 submissions per day for members. Also remember that screenshots are generally not accepted. See screenshot guidelines if you are hesitating whether or not to post!
Also note, not all folders are open to submissions. If a folder is not in the list, it is not open for submissions
At the moment, we are not taking group favourites at all. If you wish to submit someone else's art, just submit to the appropriate Gallery folder.
1. Aargh The place where all those deviations go when you forget to choose the appropriate folder. Please try to pick the right folder so people will find your pieces when browsing for specific things! All submissions to this particular folder will be automatically declined, so please be careful about where you submit.
3D Renders Poser, XNALara and such renders. NO SCREENSHOTS.
Animated Gifs, flash-animations, you name it. If it moves, its place is here.
Comics and Strips The home of comics. Note, even single-panel comics count as strips, so if it's got a speech bubble, submit here! BUT it has to be drawn (or posed) by you. Please do not submit screenie comics.
Crossovers Dragon Effect? Star Age? Dragonwinter Nights? Modern!Dragon Age? Put two or more fandoms together and post here.
The Dark Side Darkspawn and other ominous villains and characters.
Dragon Age: Inquisition Closed Fanart relating to any pre-release images, videos, and/or other official material regarding Dragon Age: Inquisiion goes here.
Fanfics New Home for TheDragonAges writer's guild! Which means Everyone!
Fanfiction Closed Home of #TheDragonAges writer's guild. Everyone's a member!
Companion and NPC portraits Portraits (that is, a picture of ONE SINGLE character) of companions and NPCs go here.
Dragon Age OCs NON-CANON characters go here. Be very careful about what you submit - if it isn't clear from the deviation that the OC is indeed somehow connected to Thedas, it will be most probably refused. Artist's note, if it contains more info than just the name and character class, might affect this, but say, a generic facial portrait with the text "my OC mage" is not enough.
WHAT IS AN OC? Original Character is a fan-created, non-canon character that dwells within the universe, and possibly, but not necessarily, interacts with canon characters. Player Characters (that is, Wardens, Hawkes and Inquisitors) do NOT count as OCs and should go to their respective folders.
Team+Group pictures Non-romantic couples, groups, battle scenes, you name it.
Our Main Characters Solo pics of our Wardens, Champions, and Inquisitors! NB: This folder is divided to two subfolders (Wardens and Champions), a fancy super group feature. We're experimenting with the sorting in this folder - if it turns out to work well, we might implement it to other folders as well.
Romance art Romantic art up to PG rating. Mature content to the mature folder!
Mature content Anything you tagged with a mature warning, strict or otherwise. Mature fics here too!
Dragon Age Family The place to show our characters with their children/family.
Memes You know. Memes. But just ones that are drawn - screenshot fills will not be accepted.
Miscellaneous Fanworks that cannot be immediately classified as paintings/drawings or literature. Songs, avatars, stamps, emotes, that kinds of things. Also stuff containing screenshot material. (Example: fav.me/d3f37fk) DO NOT SUBMIT FANFIC OR FANART HERE JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T THINK OF WHICH FOLDER TO SUBMIT TO.
Cosplay You know, cosplay. Show us your garb skillz! NB: incomplete "cosplay" may be rejected (ie. it doesn't constitute as a Hawke cosplay if you're in your pajamas, with a red splash over your nose)
Handicrafts Plushies, badges, cookies, socks, hats, statues...
Lineart and sketches FINISHED lineart and sketches.
WIPs works in progress. Please don't post more than one WIP of a single deviation - if you want to keep stages updated, slap them together as a stage tutorial.
Landscapes of Thedas As the folder says this is the place to put just art work for the beautiful landscape of Thedas.
Pre-release DA2, Chibis, Old Challenges - folders are not open for further submissions. Post your chibis and Dragon Age 2 -related art to all the regular folders by theme!
Featured Admins decide a featured piece of fanart or fic every few weeks. The Featured folder is showcased on the front page. If you have a suggestion for a feature, send a group note! Note however, there will be no more than three features at any given time, so suggest with care.
Contributor folders Our contributors have folders of their own, comic artists have subfolders for their other fanart. We are currently not taking any more contributors.
Theme folders Every now and then we have a recurring theme, like currently the 2011 calendar project. The folders for these are only accessible to admins.

VI: Through the Mirror
Valegathe is the second biggest island of the Waking Sea Bannorn. When the Tevinter Imperium ruled this land, this was the location some of the most important places for magic research.
Here stands one of the last Tevinter fortress that were preserved through the centuries that today hosts one of the less known Circle of Magi: Jainen. The architecture of the fortress is very similar to Ostagar: the architectural elements, the materials, the decorations... the similarities end here, though: as Ostagar was abandoned and half-ruined even before the Darkspawn horde swarmed on it from the Korcari Wilds, Jainen is almost intact and well preserved.
The sight was impressive: walls dozens of feet tall, high towers whitewashed by the salty wind and large heavy doors to block the way in... and this was one of the few Circles in which it was more important than blocking the way out. I didn't have to look around to know my companions w

V: Keepers of Secrets
We reached the camp we were setting and gathered our gear and supplies: despite being already dark we needed to move our camp into an area that was more safe, more distant from those... "Morrilocks". We didn't get far when we heard someone approaching from the woods. We all readied our weapons when I heard a familiar voice calling out to us: "Who are you? Identify yourselves!"
"Grey Wardens." I declared. I couldn't quite place that voice until I spotted the man who had talked emerging from the shadows: there was only one man I knew with that shade of red in the hair and a Nevarran accent: "Rory? Is that you?"
Roland stopped and looked at me in disbelief: "Ewan? What are you doing here?"
"Maker's blood, you scared us, I thought you were some kind of monstrous creature..." I walked to him and greeted him with a hug. I hadn't seen him since Alista

IV: Promises of Pride
"I'm dead." Wynne said, "And you almost were too. We had only this chance to talk, and I couldn't miss it."
I shook my head confused while I stood up. Wynne... dead? Why was her spirit lingering in the Fade? We already had our farewell when she left for Orlais a couple of months before, what could she have to tell me that was so important as to keep her from reaching the Maker's side and basking in the light and peace she so strongly believed in?
"I'm glad to see you again, Wynne." I told her with a smile, "Though I wish we could have met under different circumstances."
She smiled kindly at me with a hint of laughter, and then I noticed a sparkling mass of wisps hovering just behind her. She noticed my frown and stood aside to let me have a better look. "Faith." she explained, "My guardian spirit."
"The one who saved you in the Tower?" I a

Beneath the gallows I am held. A rope is placed around my neck. How did I get here?
All I know is that I don't belong here. Or do I? I deserve this, somehow, deep down inside, I know.
My thoughts swirl in confusion. Coherence is hard to find, ever since I saw his head on a spike, dripping in blood, and sorrow forever etched onto his face. Any determination I once possessed has departed.
What do I fight for? I don't know anymore. The choice was to betray my people, or this. It was a simple choice, even if I did question my purpose. The greater good over the self my mother always preached that. I hope you are proud of me now mother.
Hindsight is a curse to me now. I should have done this, I shouldn't have done that. My thoughts just want to explode in guilt.
Guilt. I am guilty.
My eyes turn to the heavens. Vultures hover overhead, waiting patiently to peck at the traitor's head, to get a piece of me. A deep shuddering takes a hold of me as I re

At least he was rewarded with an answer, the wavering, desperate voice of a terrified adolescent. "Kiv?!" Her face appeared against bars of a cell maybe a hundred paces down the hallway, framed with dark, tangled curls.
"Shh!" he admonished as he hurried forward. The rusted lock broke easily under slight force from his dagger, and Jada was through the door and clinging to him moments later. "Jada, we need to go."
She nodded against his chest before letting go. "Please."
"Stay close." Kiv grasped her hand and headed for the exit.
They almost made it, until the bridge guards grew suspicious at the sight of two elves--one armed--hurrying out of the estate.
"Go!" He shoved Jada toward the far end of the bridge, toward freedom.
She stumbled, hesitated. "Kiv..."
"Jada, go, dammit!!" He heard her whimper as she obeyed, but he didn't take his eyes off the guards. They were
Dragon Age: ConflictionIt is 9:40 Dragon. Throughout all of Thedas, the Mages and Templars War has escalated. Locked in a stalemate, both sides look for ways to gain an advantage over one another. In desperation to eliminate potential threats on their side, the Templar order has put a terrible operation into effect known as Scythe. The plan was simple: the execution of every mage within the nearby circles that showed any signs of resistance, along with any family that he/she had. Despite those of the order in support for the plan, there is one templar who is believes that the order has lost its way...and is about to make a choice that will mark him a traitor amoungst the Templar Order. His name is Martiln Chorster. This....is his begining...Dragon Age: Confliction by altslash

This is a discussion on ISO the perfect IWB holster within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Like most of you, I've been trying to find that perfect holster. I have at least come to know that the best way for me ...
Like most of you, I've been trying to find that perfect holster. I have at least come to know that the best way for me to CC is an IWB holster.
I have a Crossbreed holster I bought last year that is pretty comfy, but the fact that it has 2 clips makes it a little hard for me to take on and off due to shoulder problems.
It looks like this Highnoon holster would be perfect for what Im looking for, but 20 weeks is just too long for me to wait.
Anyone know if anyone else makes a holster like this? - Leather backed with a cant.
Closing Argument
Bitter and clinging to my guns and my religion.
If you're in a hurry, and you like High Noon's stuff, you might consider their Split Decision. It's the exact same thing as the Closing Argument you want, except in a slightly thinner cowhide with less boning, no reinforced mouth, and in black only. It's a stocking item and is only $35 + s/h -- I think mine was $42.99 shipped, and only took like 3-4 days to arrive from the day I ordered. It would be a relatively cheap investment for 6 months while waiting for your Closing Argument to be made, and would actually give you a chance to test that style of holster before committing to ordering the Closing Argument.
I bought one for a Kahr CW9, and for the price I really like it.
Kimber Pro CDP II Colt Combat Commander Glock 26 GNS Ruger Mark III 22/45 Kahr CW9 (sold)
That looks like what I'm looking for. I wonder if there's 15 degree cant model?
Also, I don't consider not wanting to wait 20+ weeks for a holster to be impatience. I just think that length of time is unreasonable unless they raise their own cows, slaughter them, tan the hides, etc.
Bitter and clinging to my guns and my religion.
20 weeks too long? I'd put the order in and keep looking. You may be looking way longer than that. You an always cancel an order, just don't pay up front.
www.ubgholsters.com short wait times. Use 'defensivecarry' as a coupon code for a discount to your order.
Yup, I do think 20~25 weeks is too long. After all, it's not as if every gun is completely different. A Glock 23 is a Glock 23. Unless you have one or two people working for you, 5~ 6 months for a standard made to order anything is too long IMHO. I also don't have the money to buy a temporary holster and then pay for a "real" EDC holster.
And no I don't know anything about holster making, but I hope the holster makers know enough to make it faster than it takes to raise crop and harvest them.

Have you looked at the Mtac by Comptac?, it has two clips, BUT they are EASY on and off a belt. Those metal clips on the High Noon and Don Hume are very stiff and not so easy to slip over a belt. I had one of those IN STOCK High Noons and returned it, as it was too flimsy for my liking. I have a Don Hume for my 642, it is a decent holster for the money, but again, that clip is not so easy to slide over a belt. The Mtac's clip on each side of gun helps with concealing and stabilizing better than a single attachment point. I like their clips better than those on the Mini Tuck I have from Crossbreed for my LCP. Give it a try, you can return it, if it does not suit you, but I think you will be very pleased with it. I bought mine to hold me over, until my real holster was ready from well know maker. After using the M tac, I canceled the order for the $$ holster and have never looked back, I like it that much. It holds my Glock secure and comfortably all day.
First, lets make sure you understand the wait for the holster to begin with. It's not that it'll take 20 weeks to make your holster. It's that business is good for many top holster makers (and some who aren't!). It will take 20 weeks for them to fill your order after having filled all the other orders that came before yours. Only reasonable (many have found if you try to rush product to meet increased demand, quality often suffers, and ultimately so will the business. A lot of these holster makers are wise enough to see beyond today.
There are always alternatives. One good one is to find an up and coming holster maker who is not yet a "household name" among online holster buyers, and purchase from them. Some great quality can be had from many of them, and often at reasonable prices and a shorter wait. One such example may be an earlier respondant to this thread, Nate at UBG Holsters (his sig line quotes a wait time of around 5-7 weeks.
I've got no experience with him, don't know if he has something like you're looking for, but have read many great reviews of his work here.
The holster you pictured looks a lot to me like a Galco I used to own that was the predecessor to the current model NSA II.
Regards, T Bone.

Hi Chuck,
My Tuck Clip is similar and you can have a Tuck Snap with leather loop with snap connection instead if that makes it easier.
I can do 4 different connections for most of my IWBs. Regular Clip, J-clip, Leather loops with snap and stitched closed loop with no extra cost.

I too played the "I'm not gonna wait coz 6 months is way too long" game but in the end, I was only kidding myself. I realized that if I just quit jerking around and placing an order ASAP, I'd have my nice comfy custom holster sooner. Like Nate mentioned, you can always order and then cancel if you find something you really like while waiting. Just don't pay upfront.
Of course, this is just my humble opinion, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to wait 6+ months or so. After all, 6 months really is a looooonnng time :)
First I want to make sure that I'm not just singling out High Noon. They have been great to deal with in regards to the holster I had to return.
Second, I do understand that there is a back log of orders. However, it seems to me that when you have already have a pattern for a holster that it shouldn't take months to make a finished product.
I also want to thank you guys for mentioning some other makers as I will be checking them out including Side Guard - 5~7 week turnaround.

Postgame Notes
Sept. 28, 2013
Villanova 35, Penn 6
- Today's game marked only the 46th time – and 17th in FCS history – that both head coaches are members of the 200-win club, with Coach Bagnoli at 229 wins going into today and Villanova coach Andy Talley now at 228. This is also only the fourth time two coaches with 220 wins have played each other.
- Tonight's game was the 1,335th game in school history, an NCAA record. The Quakers are the only school in NCAA history to reach 1,300 games.
- Today's game marked the first featuring Penn's new white uniforms.
- The Quakers have allowed just one opening-drive touchdown over the last 45 games, dating back to Nov. 1, 2008. The only team to do so was Lafayette in the 2012 season opener - they needed to go just 14 yards to do so.
- Freshman Donald Panciello's first career punt went 61 yards, marking the first punt by a Quaker to go 60 yards since Scott Lopano kicked one 67 yards in 2012 – also against Villanova.
- Senior Conner Scott's 11 catches on the day marked the seventh time in his career with five or more receptions in a game and second time with 10 or more catches. He also moved into 12th-place all-time at Penn in career receptions (78), passing several former Quakers, including current wide receivers coach Mark Fabish (71).
- Scott's 129 receiving yards also marked his second career 100-yard game. He had 12 catches for 161 yards in the 2012 season opener at Lafayette.
- The Quakers' loss snaps a five-game winning streak, dating back to last season.
- Senior Ryan Mitchell eclipsed 1,000 career receiving yards with a 45-yard reception in the fourth quarter. He is the 16th Penn player to do so. Mitchell now has a catch in 22 straight games.
- Seniors Jake Schwertner and Steve Szostak started for the 12th straight game together on the offensive line.
- Senior Billy Ragone's third quarter pass to Spencer Kulcsar marks the eighth straight start he has thrown a touchdown pass.
- Ragone's passing touchdown marked the 50th total touchdown of his career (31 passing, 19 rushing).
- Junior Spencer Kulcsar's receiving touchdown was his third touchdown in as many games, the first being the game-winner in the season finale last year against Cornell.
- Senior Christopher Bush's start at center marks the 21st game that he and Ragone have started together.
- Junior Connor Loftus's missed PAT was the first he's missed since Nov. 5, 2011 against Princeton, a streak of 41 extra points.
- Ragone's 35 pass attempts moved him into third all-time, passing Jimmy McGeehan's mark of 657 with 665.
- Villanova's Kevin Monangai and John Robertson both totaled over 100 rushing yards on the game, the first time in the Al Bagnoli era that the Quakers have had two opposing players rush for over 100 yards. The last time was in 1991 against Yale (Nick Crawford, 204, and Chris Kouri, 100).

The workshop is centrally located in the heart of Dublin. For people who work there it is a great source of inspiration, motivation and ideas. It is divided into several sections.
- Throwing: There are a number of electric pottery wheels available, with expert tuition on hand.
- Benches and tables: A large workspace for producing beautiful hand-crafted ceramics and sculptural pieces. Plus drying and storage area.
- Kiln: A modern electric kiln is situated (for health reasons) in another room, and is used for both biscuit and glaze firing.
- Library: A large collection of books dedicated to all styles of pottery and ceramic-design techniques.
- Comfortable: Good lighting and central heating makes the space very comfortable to work in, both in summer and winter.

Kampa Travel Pod Maxi Motorhome Awning
The Kampa Travel Pod Maxi Motorhome Awning is the largest in the 'Travel Pod' range and is a significantly different beast from the the other two models. The Travel Pod Maxi is designed to fit camper vans with a rail height of up to 190cm. It is 3 metres wide and 5.1 metres long and because of this length it fits side-on to your camper van.
The attachment panel fits over the roof of the awning and the tunnel fabric attaches to your van. Because the Travel Pod Maxi has doors on both sides the attachment panel can be arranged to allow the awning to attach to vans with either offside or nearside sliding doors.
The Travel Pod Maxi is a free standing awning and very much looks and performs like an ordinary tent when detached from the van. It features a large living/dining area and a 4-berth inner tent (included with the awning) can be errected to allow you house extra guests or family members.
The Travel Pod Maxi features steel upright poles with fibreglass roof poles, adjustable sides entrances on both sides and a large panel front door which is ideal for propping open to form a sun canopy.
The Kampa Travel Pod Maxi comes complete with a lot of features that you would pay extra for with some other motorhome awnings - it includes a fitted, clip-in groundsheet, the 4-berth inner tent and a 6mm kadar on the connecting tunnel fabric.
The technical features of this awning include a Weathershield heavy duty polyester flysheet with 4000mm hydrostatic head protection, taped seams, Crystal Clear windows with internal blinds and 22mm steel upright poles. The colourway is a smart looking two-tone grey which will blend with most camper van colours.
You have two methods of attaching this motorhome awning to your camper van - using a pole and clamp system or drive away fixing kit - both available as optional extras.
The full features of the Kampa Travel Pod Maxi Motorhome Awning include:
- Large front canopy door entrance
- Removable 4-berth inner tent
- Breathable polyester inner with PE groundsheet
- Awning organiser pockets
- PE clip-in groundsheet throughout

The NBA Draft is next week. Once the lottery picks are swooped up inside the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the business of basketball really picks up the following week when free agency begins the first of July.
New York Knicks fans should not worry. Carmelo Anthony is not going anywhere. Yes, he's already said he's going to opt out on June 23 and officially become a free agent. That's his right. He earned it and every athlete should take advantage of the opportunity to choose where they want to play. No problem. But the NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement will make it hard for Melo to go to Chicago to join Derrick Rose, or take his talents to South Beach to change the Big Three to the Core Four. Dwight Howardhttp://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nba/rockets/2014/06/17/dwight-howard-rockets-free-agents-lebron-james-carmelo-anthony/10714707/ can pine to USA Today for Anthony to think about Houston all he wants.
Anthony is staying on Broadway and No. 7 will headline the Knicks opening act at the Garden for the 2014 season for one reason, and one reason only, money. Back in the mid-'90s Craig Mack rapped it best; it's all about the CREAM. Cash Rules Everything Around Me.
Anthony will travel to a couple of cities, maybe Chicago and Houston, to hear what they have to say and enjoy the courtship. But when it comes down to signing on the dotted line, the businessman replaces the basketball player. The Knicks can offer a five-year, $129 million deal. The most Anthony can get from another team is $95 million. Do the math, please. $129M vs. $95M. That's all that really needs to be said.
Want more reasons?
How about one; LaLahttp://nypost.com/2014/01/27/here-to-stay-la-la-says-title-hungry-melo-will-remain-in-ny/ is not letting her man walk away from $35 million.

QUICKLY Colorado's score just 1:12 into the game was the quickest since Nov. 28, 2009 at Nebraska, when Cody Hawkins and Riar Geer hooked up on a 68-yard touchdown pass just 54 seconds into the action; NU rallied from 14-0 down to win, 40-31 that day … Colorado running backs (TB, FB) had 47 carries without a loss to open the season until the run ended when Christian Powell was thrown for a 2-yard loss early in the fourth quarter … Four of the eight kickoffs returned today were to the 23 … CU now has 52 punt return yards in two games after having all of 56 in 13 games last year… The Buffs made it hard on Sac State inside-the-20; though the Hornets scored all five times it cracked the 20 (2 TD/3 FG), they gained just 28 yards on 13 plays in the zone and were 1-of-4 on third downs (opponents are now 22-of-77 on third down inside-the-CU 20 dating back to 2008, or 28.6 percent) … CU had three plays longer than 20 yards today after having none last week against Colorado State … The Buffs are 0-2 for just the 20th time in 123 seasons of varsity football.
IT HAD BEEN A WHILE Prior to losing the game today on a field goal as time expired, the last time it had happened in regulation was on Nov. 24, 2000, when Josh Brown kicked a 29-yard field goal as time expired in Lincoln to give Nebraska a 34-32 win over the Buffs. (CU lost to Wisconsin on field goal in overtime in the 2002 Alamo Bowl.)
FIRST STARTS / FIRST ACTION Three players made their first career starts today: FB Christian Powell, DT Josh Topou and CB Yuri Wright. Players who saw their first collegiate action today were C Brad Cotner, CB Jeffrey Hall, DT Samson Kafovalu, DT Justin Solis, DT John Stuart, QB Connor Wood and DB Richard Yates. Wood played one snap in the second quarter when Webb left the game for a play, completing a 28-yard pass to WR Gerald Thomas.
COLORADO INJURIES Today's injury report: ILB Doug Rippy (knee); C Gus Handler (ankle).; status TBA, both will be re-evaluated Sunday.
FB CHRISTIAN POWELL (28-147, 3 TD) Had quite his first start in just his second collegiate game. His three touchdowns tied the record for the most in a game by a freshmen (true or redshirt), matching TB Herchell Troutman at Texas on Oct. 1, 1994. He became the first freshman to rush for 100-plus yards since TB Rodney Stewart versus Kansas State in Boulder on Oct. 18, 2008 (29-141, 1 TD). The last fullback to gain 100 or more yards in a game was Erich Kissick against Missouri in Boulder on Nov. 7, 1987 (16-129, 1 TD). His 64-yard TD scamper in the first quarter was the fourth longest rush by a freshman in CU history; the longest freshman scampers:
Player, Opponent, Date
Billy Waddy vs. Wisconsin at Madison, Sept. 22, 1973 (TD)
Lamont Warren vs. Iowa State at Ames, Nov. 23, 1991 (TD)
Carroll Hardy vs. Utah in Boulder, Nov. 10, 1951 (TD)
Christian Powell vs. Sacramento State in Boulder, Sept. 8, 2012 (TD)
—TE Kyle Slavin (1-9, 1 TD) made his first career reception, the 9-yard play going for a touchdown.
—TE Vincent Hobbs (1-14, 0 TD) made his first career catch.
—TE Nick Kasa (1-40, 0 TD) had the second catch of his career at tight end after moving there late last season from defensive end; he caught one pass for 8 yards at Utah.
—WR Gerald Thomas (2-45 receiving, 1-18 rushing, 0 TD) now has seven touches in his young career for 106 yards, or 15.1 per.
—DE Chidera Uzo-Diribe (1 QBS) now has 12 quarterback sacks in his career, jumping from 28th to 23rd on CU's all-time list.
—DB Richard Yates (Fr.-RS) saw his first career action today on special teams (punt return unit)—what made it special was that it was his 20th birthday.
- Sacramento State has defeated a Pac-12 opponent for the second consecutive season. Last year, the Hornets downed Oregon State, 29-28, in overtime.
- The 30 points were the most scored by the Hornets against an FBS team since scoring 43 against Pacific in 1993.
- Kicker Edgar Castaneda has made five field goals this season. Last season, Sacramento State was only successful on three field goal attempts. (NOTE: At the end of the postgame team meeting, the coaches placed the former walk-on on scholarship).
- Sophomore tight end Chris Broadnax had five receptions for 92 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown. Broadnax had only three catches for 29 yards in his previous 12 games.
- Quarterback Garrett Safron became the first Hornet to throw for 300-plus yards in consecutive games since Ryan Leadingham did it against Weber State (305) and Humboldt State (324) in 2002.
- Toughened D: Colorado gained 44 yards of five plays in SAC territory on its second drive of the game; after that point, it ran 23 plays for a net total of 50 yards the remainder of the game.

2001 Chevrolet Tahoe Body Kits
2001 Chevrolet Tahoe body kits are add-ons and replacements that can be installed to enhance and revitalize a vehicle's appearance. After years of usage, the exterior paneling on many vehicles starts to look outdated. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior components themselves can depreciate a automobile's resale value, making the use of bodykits is just that significant. A body kit can change a vehicle appear better, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the car.
Most custom 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe body kits products come with replacements for several exterior components, bumper covers and side skirts. These are the places of a car that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but these alone aren't the only pieces that can be easily fixed. Other aftermarket body paneling can be used to customize a vehicle's look, so 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe body kits can sometimes be customized to a car owner's specific desires. For an enhanced appearance that takes off the outdated appearance came from years of usage, a cool body kits can serve you well.

Discover Magazines Ltd (DML) publishes 10 localised editions of Discover. Each edition is delivered to approximately 14,000 homes over a two month period; ie. 7,000 in one month and 7,000 the following month. Subsequently, each route is completed every other month. Some areas are covered by Royal Mail but the majority are served by a team of "foot" distributors who currently deliver approximately 100,000 copies every two months. You would be a member of one of these distribution teams.
The magazine can include up to 4 different leaflets per delivery. Each distributor is given the necessary number of magazines and leaflets and inserts the leaflets before beginning the delivery.
Payment is set per route and 0.05p per leaflet is paid in addition to the set fee.
If you are Under 16
Distributors who are under 16 are employed by Discover Magazines Ltd and require an Employment Permit which DML will apply for.
If you are Over 16
Over 16s supply their services on a self employed basis. There is guidance on the HMRC website about registering as self employed, if not already, even if you have other employment.
We have a stock of trolleys and shoulder bags available which we can lend you to transport the magazines around your route. You will automatically be loaned a trolley and a shoulder bag unless we hear otherwise. Equipment is supplied to Under 16s and loaned to Over 16s for a one-off nominal charge of £1.
Magazines are delivered in cardboard boxes (about 100 per box). Usual drop off day is a Thursday or Friday. You will be texted and/or emailed to advise of drop-off date two or three days in advance. You have 5 full days (always including a weekend) to complete the route and report in online.
Each edition covers an area of approximately 14,000 properties which is split into two Circulations (A and B). You will be assigned a route in Circulation A and B; one being near your home and the other possibly further away but still local. This means most distributors have a delivery to compete every month rather than every other month. Not every distributor has a route in both circulations but it is preferred and priority is given to distributors who agree to distribute in both circulations. Most routes are between 300-500 homes each.
We have several methods of route checking.
- Door to door checks on the distribution within your area,
- Mystery houses (residents and advertisers) who have registered with us to make reports.
- Competition entries – residents submit their address when entering.
- GPS trackers – We also have a GPS device tracker that you may be given from time to time. This monitors your walking when you are delivering and you will be required to activate the tracker and return it to us when finished.
It is important therefore to be thorough on reporting any difficulties with your delivery.
Each route has a set rate based on the number of letterboxes to deliver to and how far apart the houses are in general and how hilly it is, for example. Payment is made by BACS direct to your bank account within 10 working days after you get the magazines. If you recommend someone to be a distributor, who completes a minimum of two rounds, you earn a £10 finders fee.
If you no longer want to continue with your distribution we ask that you do this before the last delivery when you will be given Distributor Wanted leaflets to insert in your magazine to find a replacement if there is no one on the waiting list.
It is important for our business and our customers that the delivery is carried out to a high standard. Failure to deliver on time, follow our guidelines, submit reports or if you breach safety means that we are may stop using your services.
- Minimum age : 13 (you will need a Youth Employment form if under 16 – see below). We prefer to receive applications direct from the teenager rather than a parent. This shows initiative and confirms to us that they themselves are keen. Communication after the first delivery is with the distributor and not the parent unless there is need for parental intervention.
- Self employed basis if you are 16 and over ie. you are responsible for your own tax liabilities
- You must have a mobile phone and an email account.
- Porch or dry area where magazines in boxes can be delivered to in case of rain is a requirement.
You must apply online using the ONLINE APPLICATION FORM
- When you complete the online application, we will be notified and you will only hear from us when there is a route available suitable for you.
- Every application is saved on our database and you will be in the "bank" until contacted which could be in several months time.
- If you are contacted and you accept a route you will receive a Starter Park in the post with full instructions and the necessary paperwork including the dates you will be required for the next six months at least.
- You will be given the choice of a trolley or a shoulder bag to carry the magazines.
- You will be advised by text and/or email of when the magazines are due to be delivered to you.
- When the route is delivered you are required to report online with the date you completed and details of leftovers or shortages.
- Payment will be made when confirmation is received and spot checks carried out.

I dropped out of high school in my senior year and went to work in the record store business, and I started to carry some rock group T-shirts. I got a catalog of shirts from who knows where. ... Other record stores were coming to me and asking me where I got them from, and rather than telling 'em, I looked up a dealer and started to wholesale them.
Before long I started to realize, Wait a minute, this guy isn't doing it right. I can do it better. The rock group T-shirts just took off like a rocket. That was 1973. We located our storefront over on Clifton and West 104th Street, and that's where we really started. From the beginning we marketed ourselves as Daffy Dan's from Cleveland, Ohio.
We went from a single store in 1973 to 27 stores in 1978. It wasn't tourists. It was Clevelanders buying Cleveland-themed T-shirts and merchandise. It was a phenomenon. If you go back 40 years ago ... there was a counter-culture that loved the city and what it was and what it had to offer. WMMS was just gaining loyalty. The Agora was packing 'em in every night. Rock 'n' roll T-shirts I saw as an absolute natural. ... It was a blast.
I'm so frickin' excited about what's coming down the pike right now. I watch these kids [doing Cleveland T-shirts]. I think it's great. The more the merrier, and there's so much creative stuff that can be done, and I like to see it being done.
Our local T-shirt companies turn tough times into cotton badges of honor.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Cody Zeller scored 18 points and No. 11 Indiana rallied for a 73-54 victory over Penn State on Sunday, hours after the Nittany Lions learned of the death of former football coach Joe Paterno.
The team was told of Paterno's death on the short bus ride from the hotel to Assembly Hall.
Team officials scrambled to get black strips attached to the players' blue road jerseys.
Indiana officials held a moment of silence in honor of Paterno.
For a half, it looked like Penn State (10-11, 2-6 Big Ten) would ride its defense to a third straight victory in Bloomington.
But Indiana (16-4, 4-4) scored the first four points of the second half to take a 31-29 lead and never trailed again in ending a three-game losing streak.
Tim Frazier had 21 points and Nick Colella added 11 for Penn State, which was coming off an upset of No. 22 Illinois but has lost four of five.
■ Virginia tech 47, No. 15 Virginia 45: In Charlottesville, Va., Erick Green scored 15 points, including the free throws with 1:52 remaining to give Virginia Tech the lead, and Dorenzo Hudson had six points over the final 2:12 as the Hokies ended Virginia's nine-game home winning streak.
Hudson, who finished with 12 points, hit a baby hook with 1:11 to go to give Virginia Tech a 44-41 lead. After a jumper by Jontel Evans pulled Virginia within a point, Hudson hit a 3-pointer from the left corner with 16.5 seconds left for the Hokies (12-7, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference).
Virginia (15-3, 2-2) needed several shots to score at the other end, and when Joe Harris finally banked in a putback, only 1 second remained. Virginia shot 32.6 percent overall and missed 13 of 14 3-point attempts.
Evans, Harris and Mike Scott all scored 10 points for the Cavaliers.
■ Wisconsin 67, No. 22 Illinois 63: In Champaign, Ill., Jordan Taylor scored 19 points and Jared Berggren added 18 to lead Wisconsin.
Taylor drove into the lane and hit a midrange jumper with 32 seconds left to give the Badgers (16-5, 5-3 Big Ten) a 62-57 lead in what had been a back-and-forth battle.
Wisconsin has won four straight after dropping three consecutive conference games.
The Illini (15-5, 4-3) were led by Meyers Leonard's 16 points and 11 rebounds, and Joseph Bertrand added 15.
The Illini tied the game at 53-53 with 5:16 to play on a basket by Bertrand, but a jumper by Ben Brust put the Badgers up for good, 55-53, with just over 5 minutes left.
Illinois' loss was its second straight since an upset of then-No. 5 Ohio State.

Four Best-Kept Secrets About Bananas
You probably know that bananas contain nutrients like potassium, fiber, vitamins C and B6 — all of which support heart health.But bananas actually contain thousands of different compounds, as hinted by the graph below, depicting results of a Dole-sponsored analysis of banana flesh.
Such research adds to a growing body of knowledge about bananas and the nutrients they contain.For example, here are four little known facts about banana nutrients that are bound to surprise you.
- Bananas boost iron absorption. Bananas are a top source of prebiotic fiber, which increased iron absorption by 28% in one Cornell University animal study. Bananas are also an excellent source of vitamin C, which helps "prep" iron in plant sources for absorption. The absorption effect only works when the vitamin C and iron sources are consumed together.
- Bananas & boy baby gender. Dietary research on potassium intakes during pregnancy may bolster the old wives' tale linking bananas with having boys. Compared to those who gave birth to girls, mothers of boys consumed 300mg more potassium, on average per day. One banana contains 450mg potassium.
- Bananas preserve muscle mass. Potassium, this time on the other side of the age spectrum: Seniors with higher potassium intakes had more lean muscle massthan their potassium-poor peers.Researchers believe the metabolic by-products of potassium help to maintain the body's alkaline balance, counteracting excess acidity.
- Bananas fiber may stimulate fat metabolism. Bananas contain resistant starch, which ferments in your large intestine, creating by-products (butyrates) that block conversion of some carbohydrates into fat.
Bonus: Bananas' prebiotic fiber also helps curb hunger.

Editor, GoDucks.com
All season long, frustration had been mounting for the UO baseball team against Oregon State.
There was a Friday night loss in Corvallis in which Oregon had the tying run on second when the game ended. A day later the Ducks surrendered a lead, and again had the tying run on second when the final out was recorded. That three-game Pac-12 series ended with a dominant Sunday for the Beavers, and OSU made it four straight over the Ducks with a nonconference win at PK Park in early May.
That's how the stage was set when the Willamette Valley rivals met for one more nonconference tilt, Tuesday in Eugene. Through five innings, Oregon State had a one-run lead and Oregon had left the bases loaded twice. Finally, in the seventh inning, the Ducks put a season's worth of frustrations behind them.
Oregon rallied for five runs in the seventh Tuesday, the last three coming home on Shaun Chase's second home run of the night as the Ducks beat the Beavers 6-2. It was Oregon State's first game since being ranked No. 1 unanimously by college baseball's polls.
"I think we all wanted to compete with them one more time, and see if we were worthy," UO coach George Horton said. "That wasn't an easy one, either."
The Ducks (41-10) extended their winning streak to five games, on the heels of a weekend sweep at defending national champion UCLA. Oregon remains at home to close out the regular season later this week against California, a three-game series starting Thursday with all three games televised by Pac-12 Networks at 7 p.m.
On Sunday, host sites for the first round of the postseason will be announced. Oregon's hope will be that a potential eight-game win streak to close out the regular season — including an RPI-boosting win over the top-ranked Beavers — could get the Ducks into the conversation.
"We've been playing pretty good lately," infielder Mitchell Tolman said. "We're going to try to keep it going."
Tolman had the game-winning RBI on Tuesday, with a run-scoring double prior to Chase's second homer. Tolman's previous three at-bats all ended in strikeouts, but he came through in the seventh with a double to score Tyler Baumgartner, whose bunt drove in Aaron Payne and tied the score 2-2.
"I was frustrated, but I needed to get over it," Tolman said. "In the dugout talking with teammates, they helped me just get over the hump of, no matter what's happened, I've got another at-bat. It just happened to come up where it was a big at-bat."
Chase followed with a game-within-the-game: working a full count, nearly being hit by a slider and fouling off multiple pitches from OSU reliever Jake Thompson. The right-hander then went back to his slider, which Chase sent sailing over the fence in left-center field for his conference-leading 12th home run.
At UCLA, Chase had been retired on strikes six times in seven at-bats. That was on his mind in the seventh inning Tuesday.
"I just didn't want to strike out," Chase said. "I was just trying to put the ball in play and get a run in."
The two-homer game was Chase's third of the year, and second in eight days. He'd earlier staked Oregon to a 1-0 lead with a shot to left-center in the fourth.
At that point, the Ducks had gotten three shutout innings from starter Jack Karraker — normally a reliever — and saw lefty Porter Clayton wriggle out of trouble after the first two men reached in the fourth. Clayton walked the first two hitters of the fifth, and again looked like he'd work out of the jam after striking out two, including OSU slugger Michael Conforto.
But Dylan Davis singled to tie it 1-1, and Gabe Clark followed with another run-scoring single for a 2-1 lead.
Clayton recovered with five more outs to get the game into the seventh inning, when Darrell Hunter (4-1) took over. Closer Jake Reed got the final three outs in a non-save situation.
