I'm In Michigan and Ohhhhhhh how sick I have been
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
Hello Divas, Guys and Dolls,
I hope everyone is doing well, in all that you promised that you would do, in the "2013" year!!!!!
In my previous blog, I told everyone I would be coming back to Michigan to help a sibling out and I've been here since January 20, 2013. Let me tell you something, if I didn't love and support my family, my behind would be back in Florida, enjoying the 80 something weather.
Since I have been in Michigan, it has done one of three things, it has either snowed liked the devil, rained as if there was no tomorrow, or has been cold as a "witch's tit", literally. Also, I have been sick since that Monday, I started off with the flu that I had gotten from my nieces and nephews, which turned into something much more awful, pneumonia.............darn....
....can a girl get a break. Today, is the first day that I have felt good enough to want to do anything, and I mean anything......it was even at the point where I didn't want to even go to the bathroom, because everything hurt, yes everything.........lol........
I can laugh about it now, but it wasn't so funny a few days ago........
But through all of this, I have been able to continuting fasting...........I've lost a lot more because of all of the water I consumed..............and as much as I hate water, it was the only thing that agreed with me and my insides................
Now, on the other hand, I haven't been to the gym.........and I am really disappointed in how the Michigan YMCA's operate...............my membership is paid up through to the end of March, 2013 in Florida...........I was told that I could have 5 away free visits at any Y, well, it's not true here in Michigan.......I was told that I have 1 free visit and for every visit after that it will cost me $5 per visit. Now, seeing that I go to the gym 5 days a week that will be $25 per week, $100 per month.......Now I pay $31 per month in Florida on the scholarship plan, so why in the he## would I pay $100 per week...................but this is the kicker, if I apply for the scholarship program, which is what I am on in Florida, which only took one day, I have to wait 3 weeks for an answer, to see if I am eligible................Michig
an suuuuuuuuucks big time on this..........but it won't stop me from exercising, I will utilize the City of Detroit recreation centers that have workout equipment.
Anyhow, just thought I would share what's going on with me here in Michigan.............right now I really wanna go home, but family comes first.................
So with this being said, to all my SparkPeople...............big
's and
's and just..........."keep it moving.............keep it moving"

Oh honey, that DOES blow!! If you send me a SparkMail with your real e-mail in it, I will send you pictures of the Florida sun! I took one the other day as the sun was so very bright and ended up getting the moon brightened right next to it. Looked like we were headed for an eclipse!! LOL
But to GRIND IN THE PAIN for you, I have petunias blooming, all my maples are red-budding and leaves are unfolding. My hibiscus are still blooming - those things are just CRAZY! And the breeze today with the warmth would make you a full-time sun worshipper.
Then again, here are the cruddy points... the gnats are everywhere, the mosquitoes are already biting, and I have a dang sunburn that would make any white girl proud! But I can do without the horseflies and LOVE BUGS! Man, they are everywhere.
Alaska Man and I spent the evening of my birthday together (the 28th). I sure wish I could say it was romantic, but "Shark Week" as we prefer to call TOM around here (I know, funny name, but I love it!) showed up that morning and ruined all my carefully laid plans. Mother Nature is a beyotch this month!!
I hope you get to feeling better and can get some good care and then the gym mess straightened out. I cannot believe the Florida membership doesn't transfer. But that is Michigan for you... "the BACKWARD state". What part are you in? I know Lansing rolls up the sidewalks and locks down by 9pm and the only thing open after that is the movie theater and Subway. HAHA Even the tattoo parlors shut down at 9pm! CRAZY for being a college town, but maybe that is why.
I am going to keep up with you while you are there. And I will enjoy antagonizing you with amazing weather updates. But come June, I will be ready to come and visit Michigan!! LOL
Hugs and Love, Dollface! Now get better and get healthy!

Glad you're feeling better, and sorry that the Y in Michigan sucks. Take care of those babies and yourself, and before you know it, it will be time to go back home.

Poop Chronicles
by the Detox Diva Brenda Watson
Part I: It's All About the Poop
We all poop–we'd be in real big trouble if we didn't! Some of us analyze it on a daily basis, and others just want to know more about it. And then there are some who want the scoop, but don't want anyone to know about it. Wherever you fall on the poop scale let's be honest, the satisfaction of a good poop cannot be underestimated.
But what exactly constitutes a good poop?
I have been analyzing poop professionally for around 20 years, so I feel after looking at thousands of poops I am more than qualified to give my view on what healthy poop is and what it is not. I have seen plenty of both. And yes, by the way, I do look into the toilet every day. If something looks a little scary, I sometimes get a spoon and check it out. Now don't raise your eyebrows at me, if poop were your business you'd be doing the same thing.
I am–amongst other things–a colon therapist. Never in my misspent youth, or wildest dreams did I ever ponder that poop would become my profession. But now that it is, I am going to pontificate on what poop should look like, smell like, and be shaped liked. I will describe how it should come out, hit the water, the consistency and the big question–"should it float or sink?" So, let's start with how it should leave the body: ...Continue Reading Poop Scoop Part 1 >
Part II: What's Sex Got to do With It?
Are Sex and Poop Really Connected?
Go ahead—do a double-take. Sex and Poop…yes, you read that correctly. The truth is ladies, two of the things we do most frequently (or wish we did) actually have a lot in common when it comes to how they make us feel. Don't believe me?
Okay, think about it this way – having sex is one thing, but having good sex is quite a different experience altogether, agreed? Be honest, how many of you have an orgasm every time you have sex? Not many, I'll bet, but wouldn't it be great if you did? Just like it would be great if you had a complete, effective bowel movement every time you went to the bathroom. Are you starting to see the connection now?
I can't tell you how many times I've talked with women who have been constipated and then have a really good bowel movement, they tell me, "Wow! That was better than sex." Well, I don't know if they know how true this statement really is! Why wouldn't sex—not to mention your sex drive—be related to how you poop? It all has to do with how you feel inside your body, and two things that can affect how you feel in a BIG way are sex and poop. ...Continue Reading Poop Scoop Part 2 >
The goal of the "Poop Chronicles" is to get you comfortable with looking at your poop. If it helps you get a handle on your overall health just by looking in the toilet every day, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? If all you have to do is look down before you flush - for sixty seconds - check out my POOP SCOOP tips and you're all set.

Our Northstar lowered floor wheelchair accessible minivan represents the culmination of our forward thinking philosophy: a power in-floor ramp offers open, unrestricted entry and exit as well as greater interior maneuverability. A one-touch remote allows effortless ramp deployment at your fingertips while our PowerKneel™ gives you a lower ramp angle, making access easier. There are many seating options for both wheelchair users and other passengers, with our removable front seat bases. The SURE DEPLOY™ electronic primary back up system gives the customer a simple way to operate the VMI Northstar in-floor ramp when the standard electronic control system is not functioning, or there is a total loss of power to the vehicle. When properly implemented, innovative thinking is communicated from design to final product with nothing getting lost in translation.
There are many seating options for both wheelchair users and other passengers, with our removable front seat bases. The Honda Odyssey with a VMI wheelchair van conversion floor plan creates more wheelchair maneuvering space than any other premium minivan on the market today. The spare tire is stored inside the vehicle on the driver's side wall of the rear hatch which leaves more cargo room. Other aesthetic features include plastic style inserts and interior matching ramp color.
Standard in every Honda Odyssey with the VMI Northstar Minivan Conversion:
The fold-out ramp on this wheelchair van is new and improved for the Honda Odyssey. For those customers looking for a fold out ramp system in one of the finest minivans available, look no further, the Honda Odyssey with the Summit conversion is here. In a recent focus group, this wheelchair van was preferred by more than 4 to 1 when compared to the leading competitor's fold-out ramp system.
Auto Mobility Sales has the Viewpoint Vision conversion on Honda Odyssey rear entry handicap vans from Viewpoint Mobility. This unique handicap conversion van offers several different seating configurations. Because the wheelchair loads through a wheelchair ramp at the rear of the lowered floor minivan, an attendant can ride next to the passenger using a wheelchair. Parking is also easier because you don't need to worry about being "stuck" in between other vehicles in a parking lot.
A transfer seat or hand controls can easily be installed, and the service staff at Auto Mobility Sales will ensure everything is to your satisfaction. Auto Mobility Sales is your source for wheelchair vans and handicap accessible vehicles in SE Florida--Martin, Palm Beach, Broward, Miami, Dade, and Monroe. The Vision™ is a rear-entry, lowered floor modification that is seamlessly engineered to make Honda minivans as barrier-free as possible. At Viewpoint Mobility, our vision is your freedom. A Vision™-equipped minivan can take you and your loved ones anywhere without compromising comfort, safety or style.
Auto Mobility Sales provides complete, one-stop service to our customers that includes wheelchair financing assistance (up to ten years without any prepayment penalty fees), extended service contract protection and more. Lease Financing - Short-term, closed-end and easy-termination leases for wheelchair vans are available. Commercial handicap van leases are also available. Contact us today!

May 30, 2011
SEATTLE – Senior Kyle Nielsen of the men's track and field team was named the Gohuskies.com Student-Athlete of the Week for the week of May 23-29. This is the first such honor for Nielsen on the year but the eighth for the track and field team this season.
The Langley, B.C., native finished second at the Pac-10 Championships two weeks ago but on day one of the NCAA West Preliminary Championships, Nielsen unleashed any lingering frustration on his first throw, which sailed a school record 253-feet, 5-inches, and brought an awed roar from the Hayward Field crowd in Eugene, Ore.
Nielsen has been chasing Darryl Roberson's 1989 school record of 249-6 for the past three years, since he first earned All-America honors as a sophomore. His previous career-best was 247-1, coming in 2010. This year, Nielsen had been impressively consistent, but had yet to land a huge throw, with a season-best of 239-11. That changed on throw one, and Nielsen followed it up with another big bomb of 246-6, before passing his final three attempts.
Fellow teammate Joe Zimmerman had the reverse series of throws compared to Nielsen. He was right on the bubble after three throws, sitting in 12th with a best to that point of 218-9. In the fourth round, he was momentarily passed and dropped to 13th, but Zimmerman's fourth throw got out to 228-0 and jumped him safely up to eighth. He improved again on his fifth throw, going 235-1 as he found the range, and winding up in sixth to earn his second NCAA finals trip. Nielsen and Zimmerman were third and fourth at the NCAA Championships a year ago.
Other nominees include: B.K. Santy (baseball), Kyle McMorrow (men's tennis), Logan Miller (women's track and field), 2V8 (women's crew), Kaitlin Inglesby (softball) and Venise Chan (women's tennis).

Automotive inSIGHTS special 1/2010
Truck markets are showing signs of recovery from the drastic effects of the economic crisis. Players in hard-hit triad markets also returned to profitability in the second quarter of this year. Commercial vehicle OEMs now need to align their strategies ap¬propriately. If they do so, they stand to benefit from the expected recovery in these markets and the continued growth in emerging markets such as China, and will be able to seize new market opportunities.
New challenges lie ahead for players in the commercial vehicle industry – fuel effi¬ciency is likely to be a major issue, alongside CO2 emission reduction targets for commercial vehicles. Another is the rise of emerging-market OEMs with ever-better product standards, who represent a future threat even to triad OEMs on their home turf.
This special edition of Automotive InSIGHTS focuses on the commercial vehicle industry's return to growth.
We also have an exclusive interview with Matthias Wissmann, President of VDA (German Association of the Automotive Industry), about the gradual recovery of the commercial vehicle industry.

Students at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana were treated to this tasteless cartoon in their daily paper. It originated with the Dayton Daily News and cartoonist Mike Peters. A tip of the hat to Mrs. George L. Mihad of Muncie for passing this gem along to us.
Signe Wilkinson of the Philadelphia Daily News was close to the mark with this tongue-in-cheek cartoon inspired by Stephen Cook's bizarre "recollection" of abuse.

College Hockey:NCHA 2011-12 Season Preview
Northeastern Wisconsin once again is thinking about a repeat championship season, and this time we're not talking about football. Beginning the year as the nation's top-ranked D-III team, according the USCHO.com poll, the St. Norbert Green Knights are going to be the team to beat in the NCHA and the country.
The annual NCHA coaches' poll awarded St. Norbert the top spot with five first place votes. Last year, the Green Knights won the NCHA regular season crown, the NCHA playoff championship, and the NCAA championship.
Wisconsin-Superior and Wisconsin-Eau Claire joined St. Norbert as the lone teams receiving first-place votes in the poll. Wis.-Superior earned the No. 2 seed in last year's Peters Cup playoffs and an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. Wis.-Eau Claire tied for fourth place last season while playing 10 teams that were ranked at the time of their contest with the Blugolds.
St. Norbert Green Knights
2011-12 Coach's poll: First
2011-12 USCHO prediction: First
2010-11 Overall record: 25-4-1
2010-11 Conference record: 14-3-1
2010-11 Finish: First
Outlook: Led by coach Tim Coghlin, the Green Knights of St. Norbert are coming off a national championship season in 2010-11, their second. St. Norbert was ranked No. 1 in the preseason NCAA Division III Poll for the 2011-12 season. The Green Knights made their seventh NCAA Division III Frozen Four appearance while winning their 12th NCHA regular-season title and ninth NCHA Peters Cup championship. Forward Johan Ryd led the team in scoring, netting 10 goals and 18 assists for 28 points. Seven of his goals went for game-winning scores. Cody Keefer had 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points, while Seth Soley had nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points. Mike Martin is the only returning goaltender, and was 3-2 with a 2.18 goals against average and .917 save percentage a year ago. St. Norbert traditionally has the strongest defensive team in the nation. The Green Knights allowed three or more goals just 10 times last season, and four or more only three times. Newcomers Travis Bosch (So.), a transfer from Bemidji State, and David Jacobson (Fr.) are expected to contribute to the Green Knights this season
University of Wisconsin Superior Yellowjackets
2011-12 Coach's poll: Second
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Second
2010-11 Overall record: 16-13-1
2010-11 Conference record: 10-8-0
2010-11 Finish: Third
Outlook: Yellowjackets coach Dan Stauber found his team ranked in the top 10 to begin this season. A year ago, they finished the season at No. 11, and this year they opened the year at No. 9. The Yellowjackets bounced back from a last-place finish in 2009-10 to finish second in the NCHA last year, and received an at-large bid for the NCAA tournament, losing in the first round to Hamline University of the MIAC. The Yellowjackets graduated four seniors from last year's team and four other players decided not to return. Superior expects top-notch performances to come from Tom Budziakowski, Pat Dalbec, Colton Kennedy and Joey Massingham.
University of Wisconsin Eau Claire Bluegolds
2011-12 Coach's poll: Third
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Third
2010-11 Overall record: 15-11-1
2010-11 Conference record: 8-9-1
2010-11 Finish: Fourth
Outlook: Wis.-Eau Claire returns a core group of experienced players for the 2011-12 season. The Blugolds return 21 players, only losing three to graduation. Leading scorer Jordan Singer returns to see if he can exceed last year's 13-goal, 16-assist season. Kurt Weston will attempt to put together another stellar season; he had 22 points last season. Tyler Romasco will co-captain the Blugolds and add to the firepower, as another player who reached the 20-point mark last sesaon. Coach Matt Loen also has six transfers, four from D-I schools, at his disposal.
University of Wisconsin-Stout Blue Devils
2011-12 Coach's poll: Fourth
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Fourth
2010-11 Overall record: 16-11-0
2010-11 Conference record: 10-8-0
2010-11 Finish: Second
Outlook: Wis.-Stout returns an experience team, with four seniors and eight juniors. With 18 players that are either freshmen or sophomores, the signal might be out that this is a rebuilding year for a program that has seen a good deal of success the last six years. Coach Terry Watkins's squad tied for second in the NCHA and returns six of their seven leading scorers, including 2011 All-American Branden Gay (Sr.). Wis.-Stout was second in the NCHA in goals (95) and first in goals-scored-per-game (3.52). Gay led the NCHA in scoring with 16 goals and 18 assists for 34 points, and recorded a league-high seven power-play goals. Also returning among the leading scorers are Kevin O'Donnell, who led all freshmen in scoring in the NCHA, Charles Lachance, Sam Carr, Jason Cohen, and Dan Cecka. Added into the mix are freshmen Zach Vierling, Luke Dillon, Scott Bell, Matt Millis, C.J. Pullar, and Micky Knox. Watkins calls his offense and goaltending the team's strengths. Stout will play one "home" game at the Xcel Energy Center when they host St. Norbert College, Saturday, January 21 for a 1:30 p.m. game as part of Hockey Day Minnesota.
University of Wisconsin River Falls Falcons
2011-12 Coach's poll: Sixth
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Fifth
2010-11 Overall record: 12-14-2
2010-11 Conference record: 7-10-1
2010-11 Finish: Sixth
Outlook: Team speed is what Coach Steve Freeman wants to improve for the Falcons this season. More speed will create more offensive opportunity. Justin Brossman and Alec Hagaman will provide the returning offensive power. Goalie Scott Lewan will be back in the nets to anchor a solid defensive core.
University of Wisconsin Stevens Point Pointers
2011-12 Coach's poll: Fifth
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Sixth
2010-11 Overall record: 13-14-1
2010-11 Conference record: 8-9-1
2010-11 Finish: Fifth
Outlook: New Season, new coach. Chris Brooks will serve his first year at Wis.-Stevens Point. Kyle Heck, Nick Kenney, and Kevin Gibson will provide the offensive spark, while Nick Graves will be the primary goalie for the Pointers.
St. Scholastica Saints
2011-12 Coach's poll: Seventh
2011-12 USCHO prediction: Seventh
2010-11 Overall record: 9-17-1
2010-11 Conference record: 4-14-0
2010-11 Finish: Seventh
Outlook: Coach Mark Wick and the St. Scholastica men's hockey team will look to improve on last season's disappointing finish, which saw the team finish on a six-game losing streak. This season looks to be a promising one for the Saints after a disappointing 4-14 record in the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) last season. The Saints only lost two seniors from last year's team, and are led by five in the upcoming season. Seniors Jeremy Dawes, Carter Davis, and Stephane Phaneuf will provide the leadership. Sophomore transfer Colin Rundell will try to establish his presence between the pipes.

Do You Need Help Paying for Child Care?
Child care is often a family's biggest expense after housing, food and taxes. Juggling child care costs and a parent's earnings can be especially challenging for low income families who need child care in order to go to work, while at the same time need to use some of the money they earn to pay for care.
Financial assistance is available to help qualifying families pay for child care. Review the following options to learn more.
Support Programs and Tax Credits
This program helps eligible, low income families pay for child care while parents work, attend school or search for a job. Assistance payments are typically paid directly to child care providers. Eligible providers must be at least 18 years old, and be licensed, registered, self-declared or an approved relative.
This is a refundable federal tax credit for low to moderate income working individuals and families - especially those who are raising children. Those who qualify, receive a larger tax refund or pay less in federal taxes. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is administered by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
A multi-state project sponsored by the Children's Defense Fund that helps families and individuals link to public work support programs and tax credits.

All Dolled up quilts and a blogger/shop owner give-away
Posted by Cindy on Tuesday, June 28th, 2011
We mentioned 'All Dolled up last" month but we wanted to show off the All Dolled Up quilts one more time. They were so fantastic we really hated to part with them. Amanda Herring of the quilted fish put together a fun event for quilt market Riley Blake Designs and 28 local designers helped sponsor the event which allowed hundreds of quilt market attendees to participate. These were the grand prize quilts.
Each quilt block is one of a kind...designed and made by the 28 local designers (14 signature blocks per quilt). Chris Orton pieced all the blocks together and Xenia Stirland machine quilted each quilt (you cant see the detail but Xenia machine quilted scenes in the background that really accentuated the blocks) It was fun to see the personality of each artist.
The lucky grand prize winners.....
1.Marsha Hanschild of Morning Star Quilts in Paradise, California
2.Kathy Hamada of stash in Walla Walla, Washington

Gov. Tom Corbett was handed a budget by the legislature, but he's not happy.
Yet again, the legislative branch has refused to address the issue of pension reform, and is in recess now so it can't deal with it. This has been a bone of contention between Corbett and legislators for years, and it's not likely that there will be any meaningful movement on the issue.
This is in spite of the fact that everyone is seeing clear examples of what can go wrong when government does not come up with a fiscally responsible way to deal with these expenses. Detroit is arguably a prime example, even though it is just a city.
Another issue where the legislators and Corbett do not see eye to eye is taxes. The governor is determined to not raise taxes, and has been insisting on government trimming the fat to accomplish this. The legislators response was to call for a 2% increase in their budget.
Corbett is facing Democrat opponent Tom Wolf in November, and if Wolf wins, Pennsylvanians can look forward to higher taxes, and possibly higher employment rates. Wolf is for taxing energy companies that have been a major source of job growth in the Commonwealth, and is campaigning on initiating extraction taxes. Corbett has avoided levying those taxes, and that has encouraged growth in shale gas particularly.
This could be the last best chance Pennsylvania has to keep from being mired in debt to meet unrealistic demands from public service unions when it comes to pensions. If Corbett does not succeed in getting the assembly to deal with this issue in a meaningful manner, it's not likely it will happen until it's too late.

Oxford, England: Walking With a Vengeance
I went to Oxford in June 2008 for work, but that has never stopped me from exploring a place. It also helped that this was my second trip to Oxford, so the city was a little familiar to me.
What I like most about Oxford is that I can walk to my heart's content. Try doing that in Delhi and you will realize the difference.
I along with my five colleagues arrived at Oxford on Sunday night and sleep was the most dominant thought. While the taxi took us to our accommodations, I could recognize some areas of the town. Given my sense of direction that is surprising. I can get lost even in a telephone booth if it has two exits.
On Monday I was busy with work till 5:30 in the evening. A colleague and I came back to the city center and went in to the Pizza Hut (don't ask, his choice) for dinner. Then he wished to go back.
I tried to play the guide and drop him to the relevant bus stop. Then the fun began. I knew there was a stop in the city center but try as I might I could not locate it!
Anyway, we managed to find another stop (opposite Said Business School) and my colleague went back to catch up on much needed sleep. I decided to walk around the city center for a while.
The last bus (or was it last but one?) was at 10.27 and twilight would remain at least till ten. What more could I ask for?
Carfax Tower- The Focal Point
Many consider the Carfax Tower as the focal point of the city center, and I heartily concur. From there one road takes you towards the famous Christ Church College, another to the High Street and the Magdalen College and the bridge with a lot of punts parked on the river.
The third, called Cornmarket Road, after a few turns takes you to the Gloucester Green bus stop. The fourth road, Queen Street, takes you to more shops. My bus stop was on the high street.
With this much orientation I survived fine on my own in Oxford. Carfax Tower is itself the remaining part of the St. Martin's Church that had to go to make way for increasing traffic in 1896!
The Oxford Colleges and Ashmolean Museum
The University of Oxford has more than 40 colleges and halls affiliated with it and these are scattered all over the city. To be honest I would not be able to name all the colleges nor have I seen all in my two visits in the past seven months. But I can definitely talk a little about some of the most spectacular ones.
Also I am more of a nature buff than a history buff, so my biases may reflect in what I discuss about the city of Oxford.
However, there is an easy way to become familiar with the city, and that is by taking the hop-on-hop-off Red Bus Tour. This bus would take you around the city for 11.50 pounds and you can listen to the commentary on the headphones or sometimes there is a live guide too.
The tickets are valid for 24 hours from the date of purchase and you can get down any place you fancy and take the bus again later.
The bus makes a prominent stop at The Ashmolean Museum. If you are a history buff you can probably spend an entire day here. I was quite impressed by Monet painting and a Stradivarius violin I saw there.
Pitts River Museum was also highly recommended to me but I could not see it this time. I hope there will be a next time.
Arrows and Signposts
However, Oxford is a small town and I find walking around on my own much more to my liking though there are walking tours available too.
Initially, due to my pathetic sense of direction I was quite scared to walk alone but I gradually realized that there are sufficient arrow marks and signposts on the street and whichever road I would take sooner or later an arrow would point me towards the city center and the Carfax Tower again.
I can assure you if I did not get lost in the city chances of anyone else getting lost are really really slim. Here are some of my favorite places in Oxford.
The Christ Church Cathedral and the Meadows
The Christ Church College is one of the most famous colleges within Oxford with an alumnus list that is really dazzling. The dining hall of the college has been used in the Harry Potter movies as the Hogwarts Dining Hall. There is an entrance fee to get inside.
However, equally impressive are the Christ Church Meadows. If you start walking towards the tree lined roads, at the end of it you will find the Thames River and boats on it.
Geese flock the river and they are so used to tourists that they will chase you for bread crumbs. This summer some people were hard at rowing in the river and this circular walk I did more than once!
The Radcliffe Square
If you ask me, I consider the Radcliffe Square is the most beautiful area in the entire Oxford. It is right in the center of the town. Walk on the High street towards the Magdalen Bridge and take a turn on your left near the St. Mary's Church and there you are!
It is a small square but walking around it is such a pleasure. Or just sit on the sidewalks and see others hurrying past!
At the front of the square is the St. Mary's Church. The church is beautiful to see from the outside, but if you want a lot of peace and quiet all you have to do is to get inside. Entrance is free, but they charge three pounds if you wish climb to the top of the Church, which I did this time.
Walk a few stairs and sit in the pews, preferably in a corner. Suddenly there is a lot of peace around you, disturbed only occasionally by other tourists. I sat inside the church at least twice and it was cool and beautiful.
Then of course you can go to the top and admire the uninterrupted view of the city. Another very beautiful building in this square is the All Souls College. And Brasenose College is also quite beautiful.
Right next to the HertfordCollege is the Bridge of Sighs, all beautiful places crammed in one square. Bodlein Library, another landmark, is also close by.
The Thames Walk, Oxford to Sandford
I decided to explore the Thames Walk starting near the Folly Bridge on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised. I had explored part of it earlier on Wednesday but I was in a hurry as I had a train to take to Leeds later.
On Saturday I had no such compulsions. From the afternoon I devoted myself completely to the walk. There was no end point in my mind and I decided that I would walk for two hours in one direction and then walk back for two hours! I love walking that much.
Soon enough I came across the Iffle Meadows that had huge fields of mustard and horses and cows grazing serenely. I decided to venture further and within the two hours reached the Sandford Lock (3.5 miles one way, 7 miles or 11.2 km in all).
It was only after coming back and searching on the Internet I realized that the walk goes all the way to London. A better aim could be to walk to Abingdon (8.5 miles, 13.6 km) and probably take a bus back to Oxford from there.
However, it had rained heavily earlier in the week and a few people who were cycling told me that there was too much water on the path ahead. I walked up to that spot saw the water and decided that was the end of this walk.
The only problem on this walk and the other one I took was dogs that were left off the leash. (Read about them doggies on Mridula's blogTravel Tales From India.)
Walking for so long left me hungry. I had tried a few fine restaurants during my stay like Chiang Mai (Thai), Qumins (Indian), Noodle Bar and The Oriental Candor (Chinese), Pizza Hut and Que Pasa (Pizza).
So this time I decided to try the roadside vans and I loved the mashed potatoes and the veg burger I bought from the Van near the Christ Church College and which I ate sitting in the lovely Radcliffe Square.
The next day I was heading to Heathrow after lunch to take the flight back to India.

The SSMO originally obtained assistance from the Department of Marine Sciences and Technology to voluntarily develop and implement a spatial management plan two years ago that has since afforded 'biogenic reefs' formed by horse mussels, coralline maerl and eel grass protection from potential disturbance. These habitats, which are listed in the EU Habitats Directive as requiring conservation, are found in a number of locations around the biologically rich waters of Shetland. The industry-science partnership initiative that led to the closures has been praised by a number of conservation bodies since and was also fundamental in the SSMO obtaining Marine Stewardship Council accreditation for its king scallop fishery in 2012.
The NAFC Marine Centre undertook extensive acoustic and visual surveys of the original closed areas after some doubt was raised as to the validity of the data on which some areas had been based. Although some original data sources were quite dated, limited in quality or had not been validated, fishermen agreed to close areas on a precautionary basis while the complex and extensive work was undertaken. The new study has provided much more detailed information than previously available and therefore allows for more representative boundaries to be established.
Head of Marine Science and Technology at the Marine Centre, Dr. Martin Robinson said: "This was an innovative step toward responsible fisheries management at the time, and remains so still. Shetland provides a unique example of how a Regulating Order has been used to allow local fishermen to manage local resources and protect priority marine features and habitats that may be sensitive to disturbance. This type of locally driven initiative is unique to Shetland. Science and industry has worked very closely together to provide this very positive outcome, one which has been delivered through honest and open local stakeholder engagement. We now have 20 km square of sea area spread over 15 locations around Shetland closed to scallop dredging to help conserve these important features."
SSMO Chairman, Ian Walterson added: "The Board of the SSMO were briefed on recommended changes to the boundaries of the closed areas by staff from NAFC's Marine Science Department recently and chose to unanimously accept them based on the very detailed and clear report that they have produced.
"It is clear that a great deal of time and effort has been invested in helping the SSMO to develop an innovative and realistic spatial management framework that works towards enhancing the sustainability of our fisheries in the context of stocks, environment and the community.
"The release of the report and the rapid implementation of its recommendations comes at a time when national media attention toward scallop fishing has been less than positive; we are proud to be able to provide a more positive and pro-active example of how things can be done. We are grateful to the department for their continued support and look forward to further co-working."

Quizzle.com is the easiest way to get a complete understanding of your credit. Visit Quizzle.com to get your free credit report and score. No purchase or credit card required! Read more at Quizzle.com.
Your credit history may be the most important record of financial information that you have to your name. But what about if you have no credit history?
There are a lot of reasons you may not have anything on your credit report yet: maybe you're a college student with no track record, or perhaps you're new to the country. Or you may have just avoided opening up a line of credit in the past because you had no reason. While you may think that having no credit gives you a "clean slate" when it comes to your money, having nothing in your credit files could actually be worse than having mediocre credit. Because there's no information about your financial habits, lenders, banks and landlords could deny you a loan or place to live just because of your lack of credit history.
Don't worry: if you're starting from scratch and you don't have any credit to your name, there are a few simple ways to start building your credit history:
Open Up a Secured Credit Card
Your local bank or credit union may be able to help you out with a secured line of credit. A secured credit card offers you a credit limit just like a regular credit card, with one caveat: your financial institution will require you to put down a security deposit to guarantee that you're good for the money. In that sense, a secured credit card is very similar to a debit card, except the activity on your secured credit card gets reported to the credit bureaus. That's a good thing; but since you're new to the credit scene, be sure to use your secured credit card responsibly so you can build good credit, and not start off negatively.
Consider Using a Cosigner
If you have limited or no credit history, your bank or lender may ask you for a cosigner before you take out a loan. A cosigner will sign a loan with you and promise to repay the loan if you are unable to pay. As the borrower, you're responsible for regular and on-time payments. The cosigner is there to give the bank or lender assurance that someone will step up if you're unable to make your payments. Before you ask a friend or relative to be a cosigner on a loan, be sure they understand all of the responsibilities and expectations. If you miss your payments, both of your credit scores could be negatively impacted.
Get a Credit Builder Loan
Some credit unions, community banks and nonprofit organizations offer loans specifically for the purpose of helping people build their credit history and credit scores. A credit builder loan is typically approved for a small amount, usually less than $1,000. But instead of receiving the loan and being able to spend that money as you wish, the funds are placed into an account that you make payments toward (including interest) until the loan is paid off. Because it is still considered a line of credit, it gets reported to the credit bureaus and can help you build credit.

Sure, let's encourage people to go into debt to have a stupid score so they can then go and borrow more money. Geez.
You CAN get a mortgage, insurance, etc., with no credit history. Anyone that says otherwise is ignorant or plain out lying.
Save your money, spend less than you make and become wealthy the old fashioned way.

Katherine Webb went to the Sugar Bowl to watch her man, Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron play. His team, the Alabama Crimson Tide was playing the Oklahoma Sooners in New Orleans at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome but by the look of things, Webb wasn't all that thrilled to be there as indicated by a photo in which it seems she had to hold her head up with her hands just to stay alert. Either that or she had a splitting headache during the game.
That said, according to E! News on Jan. 3, the former Miss Alabama was "unimpressed" by the whole deal. Or at least so it seemed as the brunette beauty was perched on the sidelines to take in the action.
E! continued to try to figure out what would impress Katherine Webb since the Sugar Bowl didn't seem to do it.
However, after come up with some pretty creative ideas that could do it — like a twerking Miley Cyrus, a falling Jennifer Lawrence while approaching the Oscars stage to accept her Academy Award, and a red-coated Corgi sliding happily in the snow — the ingenious site realized that the folks who run it really couldn't figure out what would entertain the once and maybe future beauty queen.
With that said, as Katherine Webb was observed at the Sugar Bowl and as the former Miss Alabama was sidelined in New Orleans, Oklahoma took Alabama by 14 points. No doubt with this result Webb's boyfriend, AJ McCarron, wasn't impressed either. That said, maybe Katherine Webb should try to take on another fast food commercial. Just an idea.

FWCB Alumni Spotlights
Home: Monte Vista, CO
Degree: B.S. Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology, with a concentration in Wildlife Biology
The work I do on a daily basis: I currently work for Colorado Parks and Wildlife as a Customer Service Representative. This job has given me the opportunity to get my foot in the door and see how the agency operates, so that I can better prepare for a career as a District Wildlife Manager (DWM).
How my degree prepared me: My degree degree has given me a strong foundation of knowledge in wildlife management that I have used, and will build upon, as I work towards becoming a DWM.
Early Inspiration: My parents both have degrees in Forestry and instilled in me a passion for the outdoors at an early age. And of course, I was a huge fan of the late Steve Irwin...Crikey!
Faculty Member who had the Greatest Impact: All of the FWCB professors were fantastic, but Dr. Paul Doherty definitely had the greatest impact. He was a tough professor who taught me a lot and gave me some great advice over the years. He would push me to do my best and was always willing to help out in any way that he could. It is rare to find professors that care about the well-being of their students as much as Dr. Doherty (and the majority of the FWCB faculty) did. And I will always be grateful for that.
Proud Moment at WCNR: Graduating with all of my peers.
Favorite WCNR Class: Natural Resource Ecology and Measurements (NR220) at Pingree Park.
Advice to Students: Don't be afraid to put yourself out there! Volunteer, get an internship, join school organizations (TWS and SCB are both awesome clubs...). College is not just about getting an education; it's also a time to network and build professional relationship.
Words to live by: "A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong when it tends otherwise." ~Aldo Leopold
As an undergrad I...: am excited for the next chapter of my life, and confident that I have the skills and knowledge I need to be successful.
Alumna: Christopher Craft
Home: Denver, CO
Degree: Master's of Science in Fish, Wildlife, and Conservation Biology
Career: Fisheries Ecologist for GEI Consultants in Denver, CO.
How my degree prepared me: The fisheries degree provides a solid background of ecology, management practices and research study design that I now combine with technical experience in the field.
Early inspiration: My desire to learn more about the diverse field of fish biology, and to have the opportunity to conduct research of my own.
Faculty member who had the greatest impact: Dr. Christopher Myrick. He showed me that fish are far more complex organisms than I originally thought, and that my career options in the field of fish biology are, likewise, very diverse.
Proud moment at Warner CNR: "Successfully conducting 6 weeks of continuous 96-hour respirometry trials with a team of very dedicated and awesome technicians at the Foothills Fisheries Laboratory. Everyone survived, and there was no apparent severe mental or emotional trauma."
Memorable moment at Warner CNR: "Seining the lagoon behind the Lory Student Center with the FW204 class to capture the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella), using the largest human-pulled seine on Earth."
Favorite graduate class at Warner CNR: FW605 - Advanced Physiological Ecology of Fishes
Advice to other FWCB/GDPE graduate students: Your comprehensive exams will be difficult, but most people survive.

text: While a carefully designed modelling language should facilitate the development of useful object models, it is certainly not sufficient: The language does not tell much about how to find proper abstractions and how to decide between design alternatives. There are only a few general principles that help with the design of an object model. Design patterns that outline strategies for good design to meet certain requirements are certainly useful. However, they usually stress a high level of abstraction. In other words: They are only of limited help when it comes to analyse and model a particular domain. In the end, the development of object models remains a remarkable intellectual challenge. A great deal of the corresponding expertise can only be required by developing models - and by studying examples. This report presents a number of example object models which render domains typical for corporate information systems. The examples are designed using MEMO-OML (MEMO Object Modelling Language). Therefore, they also serve to illustrate the use of MEMO-OML which contains a few concepts that are not provided by other object-oriented modelling languages.

Game Notes | Live Stats | ESPN3 | Audio
ORONO, Maine -- The Black Bears return to America East league action as they host UMBC Wednesday evening on ESPN3. Maine, playing its second-straight home contest, enters the game 4-3 at Cross Insurance Center.
Maine enters the evening at 6-8 overall and searching for its first America East victory of the season after falling in overtime 66-56 to Hartford back on Dec. 11.
The Black Bears are led by senior guard Ashleigh Roberts. Roberts, who stands just 12 points away from 1,000 in her career, is averaging 13.1 points and 5.7 rebounds while shooting a team-high 50.4% from the field. Roberts ranks fifth in the league in scoring, third in field goal percentage and 13th in rebounding. Sophomore Liz Wood is following up her Co-Rookie of the Year season with a solid start to her second season. Wood, coming off a 23-point effort against Yale, is chipping in 12.4 points and a team-high 6.9 rebounds while also leading Maine in assists (3.5) and steals (1.6). Wood ranks eighth in the league in scoring, sixth in rebounding, fourth in assists and sixth in steals. Newcomer Cherrish Wallace has played in two games for Maine and is averaging 11.5 points and 4.5 assists. Maine ranks at the top of the league in three-point shooting with three Black Bears showcased in the top-10 in 3-point field goals made per game. Bodine leads the charge, and the league, from beyond the arc as she is shooting 46.3% from downtown with a league-high 2.4 three-pointers made per game. Bodine has built her scoring average up to 8.2 per game while tallying double-figure efforts in three of her last four games.
As a team, Maine ranks fifth in the league in scoring at 63.8 points while giving up 69.4. The Black Bears are shooting 43.4% from the floor, 34.0% from three-point range and 68.7% from the free throw line while pulling down 34.7 rebounds and handing out a league-leading 16.0 assists.
Last time out, the Retrievers defeated Binghamton 47-32 to snap an 11-game losing streak which dated back to its season opening 59-50 win against Eastern. UMBC enters the contest 0-4 on the road and 0-4 in neutral site contests as it has not won away from its home arena. The Retrievers feature a young squad in which their top five scorers are either sophomores or freshmen. Freshman forward Sara Tarbert leads the UMBC attack as she ranks fourth in the league in scoring at 13.5 points. Tarbert also leads the team in rebounding at 7.2, good for third best among league leadres, and paces the Retrievers in assists at 2.9 per game. Fellow freshman Taylor McCarley is averaging 7.9 points per game with 3.3 rebounds while Sophomore Bridget O'Donnell is talling 5.8 points while shooting 42.5% from the floor.
UMBC averages a league-low 48.6 points per game while giving up 63.5. The Retrievers shoot 39.1% from the floor, 24.9% from three-point range and 60.9% from the free throw stripe. UMBC ranks last in rebounding at 32.1 per game while averaging 18.4 turnovers and 12.5 assists.
Tonight's contest marks the 21st meeting in the history between Maine and UMBC with the Retrievers holding a slight 11-9 advantage. UMBC has won the last five meetings, including the most recent 86-79 decision in Orono on Feb. 2, 2013. Maine's last win came on Jan. 9, 2011 when it defeated UMBC at Alfond Arena by a score of 60-57. In the most recent win, current Black Bear Ashleigh Roberts tallied her first career double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds. Maine and UMBC first met on Jan. 24, 2004 in which the Black Bears defeated UMBC 60-45. Maine won the first five meetings between the two teams.

Installation was quick and easy – it comes bundled with the Ask toolbar but you can uncheck that option during the process. For those still using the long-abandoned version 3.1 of the client, all settings are imported without hiccups, while menus and options remain familiar although with a few additions and a fresh look. Admittedly, the first thing I did was change that hideous ultramodern default skin for the much cleaner and simpler Trillian Cobalt; it's a matter of taste, so your experience may vary.
On the features front, Trillian comes as packed as ever, but some are available in the Pro version only (included as a 30-day trial), such as advanced video chat and an integrated activity history viewer. Unlike previous versions of Trillian, the basic version includes plug-in support. My IM needs are pretty simple, so in terms of functionality, I've had no problems switching (temporarily?) from Pidgin two days ago. That said, I wonder if after three years in development it's just too little, too late for Cerulean Studios now that free, open source and even web based rival clients have caught up.
Trillian Astra is nonetheless a solid multi-protocol IM client, so its refreshed looks, smart notifications, and plentiful configuration options might still win back some of their old fans.

India: Brief History of a Civilization provides a brief overview of a very long period, allowing students to acquire a mental map of the entire history of Indian civilization in a short book. Most comprehensive histories devote a few chapters to the early history of India and an increasing number of pages to the more recent period, giving an impression that early history is mere background and that Indian civilization finds its fulfillment in the nation-state. Thomas R. Trautmann believes that the deep past lives on and is a valuable resource for understanding the present day and for creating a viable future. The result is a book that is short enough to read in a few sittings, but comprehensive in coverage--5,000 years of India in brief.
Author Biography
Thomas R. Trautmann is Professor of History and Anthropology at the University of Michigan. He is the author of several books, including Languages and Nations: The Dravidian Proof in Colonial Madras (2006) and Aryans and British India (2004), and is the editor of The Aryan Debate (OUP, 2008).

Quality blinds at a great price.

Installation: I installed my own blinds!
Quality blinds at a great price.
Bakersfield, CA
So far I am very pleased with my purchase.
Jun 27 2013
Installation: I installed my own blinds!
So far I am very pleased with my purchase. The color was well represented and the fit is perfect, however I am disappointed with myself because in my haste I ordered the wrong style. I thought I was ordering the Top Down Bottom Up Style. This will do for now. I will order again from you with confidence that I will get good service and a quality product.

The Pleated Shades are a great choice.

Installation: I hired a professional installer.
The Pleated Shades are a great choice. They have a rich appearance and make my room polished.

Mar 7 2013
Installation: I installed my own blinds!
Wow. Amazing. I was a little bit scared at first to take measurements myself, but I quickly learned inside from outside mount and felt confident with my abiliites. I just bought a house and had to cover all the windows. First started with the spare bedrooms and purchased 4 shades to make sure I liked the quality. My boyfriend installed them and the first was just a little bit frustrating for me, but he caught on quickly and I just let him do his thing. Soon after, I bought 12 more blinds for the house. It took him about 15-20 minutes/blind. For the price, the blinds are totally worth it. I got them in Off White, and even when down, they let in plenty of light so we don't even ever have to move them up unless we want the view. Lets in a good amount of light at night, but better to have the daylight during the day than black out then too. So glad we saved thousands of dollars and took this project on ourselves.

The Harrisonburg-Rockingham Bar Association endorsed two area attorneys for judgeships Friday during a special meeting at Rockingham County Circuit Court.
The bar endorsed lawyers James Clough and John Hart for the position of general district court judge.
They also endorsed Clough for a possible judgehship on the juvenile and domestic relations court.
To be endorsed, a candidate must receive at least two-thirds of votes.
The bar also found that Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Anthony Bailey qualified to be a juvenile and domestic relations court judge.
To be found qualified, a candidate must receive at least one-half of the votes but less than two-thirds.
The bar didn't endorse a candidate for circuit court judge.
This year's proposed budget in the General Assembly includes funding for two new circuit judgeships and one general district court judge in the 26th Judicial District, which includes Clark, Frederick, Page, Rockingham, Shenandoah and Warren counties, and the cities of Harrisonburg and Winchester. The House and Senate are at odds on whether to fund a juvenile and domestic relations court judge.
