Set Up
This isn't meant to be a cross-faction selling guide, but simply a focus on how you can obtain easily purchased or earned faction exclusive items and sell them on the other faction for massive profit. For this guide, I will focus on buying items on Horde and sell them on Alliance, sometimes I sell certain cooking recipes and pets for over 40g each. The same thing can be done in reverse for Alliance to Horde selling.
In order to even be able to sell cross-faction, you will need at minimum one horde character and one alliance character. The two characters need to be on separate accounts, you cannot purchase auction items listed from the same account even if you are using the neutral auction house. So either use a second account yourself (google search or ask in game the best way to do this), or find an Alliance friend that you can trust to help you.
First, I created a new DK on the horde side of the alliance server that I play on. It gave me an instant mount and all the flightpath locations...all except for the new one at the Bulwark between T. Glades and W. Plague. I paid a mage to port me to Dalaran so I could bind my hearth there.
I then proceeded to make a Troll AH alt and sent him from Orgrimmar on the Zeppelin to Grom'gol. I then swam along the coast taking care to be far enough off the coast as to not agro any mobs and swam into Booty Bay, up the ramp and sat him next to the neutral AH auctioneer.
I then parked an Alliance character in BB to be my Alliance side purchaser. I used him to send the Horde exclusive items to my main bank alt.
I needed some cash on the horde side in order to buy the faction exclusive items. There is some amount of gold that you end up with after the DK completes the DK start area, but you will need more cash as you go.
The easiest way to get the starting capital is to place an item on the neutral AH from the Horde character to be purchased by the Alliance character. The item doesn't matter, it can be anything, the object is to build the capital needed to purchase the faction exclusive items. The neutral AH will take 15% of the purchase price for their cut. Don't worry about losing your 15%...you will make it ALL up probably on the first purchase. You can continue to monitor your funding through the subsequent purchases of the faction exclusive items to come.
As you sell the items, be leery of someone looking to snatch your items off the AH before you can purchase them. It has never happened to me, but I've read of it happening to others.
On to the purchases:
Jump on your trusty DK...
First port to Silvermoon, ride out of the city and go immediately west and into the Ruins of Silvermoon. Go into the inn and up the stairs to the far back to find Landrealanis
he sells Recipe: Lynx Steak. I normally buy 12 of each item.
Separate Idea Regarding Quantity and Mailbox Management-
I buy 12 at a time so that when my Alliance character buys off the neutral AH I can send each separate item as one full mail package to my Alliance bank alt. For instance I will send 12 Recipe: Lynx Steak in a single email group. When you send a group of 12 items, the mail title displays the first item in the group. I like to keep all the recipes/pets/items separate for easier access and it keeps me from having to check inside each mail group to see what is contained inside. Each piece of mail will contain the remaining number of those items I have left. On a side note, with the Altoholic addon, it will tell you how many of each item you have in your bags/mail/AH. If I see that I have one in the AH, or in my bags I don't take it out of the mail, until the last one sells. One other precaution. Make sure that either you already know all these items or be careful to make sure that the mailbox is opened to the Send Mail page or you will accidentally "learn" the item.
Second item is found by riding directly south of Ruins of Silvermoon to Fairbreeze Village. In the building on the left you will find Jilanne, she sells Golden, Red and Silver Dragonhawk's. buy 12 each and at this point I generally go to the mailbox in Fairbreeze and send all I've purchased to my Neutral AH seller alt.
Third item is Recipe: Bat Bites from Master Chef Mouldier
. From Fairbreeze head south to Tranquillien in Ghostlands he is up by the inn. Buy 12 recipes.
Fourth item is a limited supply item found in Hammerfall. Fly from Tranquillen to Hammerfall in Arathi Highlands jump off the platform and go directly east into the building inside the fenced off area. There you will find, Tunkk
he sells the limited supply item Pattern: Raptor Hide Harness. Before you auction any of the limited supply exclusive items, make sure you have evaluated the market. These items will easily sell for hundreds, but I've sold them for over 1000g. Use your normal auction house strategies accordingly.
Additional option-
Before proceeding to the fifth item in this list you may want to take a quick ride to Silverpine Forest. There is a limited supply enchant recipe, Formula: Enchant Chest - Lesser Mana (that is also sold in Orgrimmar, see item eight below.) This vendor is named Lilly and is found in a small camp south of The Sepulcher at the location 43, 50.
Also, there is a rare spawn mob in Ambermill called the Dalaran Spellscribe. This mob either male or female can sometimes drop the pet Cat Carrier (Black Tabby.) It is the only way in the game to get this item, and the mob is friendly to Alliance, so only horde can get the item. Do a wowhead search of the Dalaran Spellscribe for more information.
If you decide to proceed through this option once finished, run back to The Sepulcher and take a flight to get you back on route to Brill.
Fifth item is found by taking flight from Tranquillien to either Undercity or to The Bulwark. Ride up to Brill where you will find Abigail Shiel
. She is standing in front of a wagon on the left side. Purchase 12 Recipe: Bat Wings.
At this point take the Zeppelin to Orgrimmar. If you hearth now you will waste time at the next stop.
Sixth item is found by jumping off the Zeppelin and head south to Razor Hill. There you will find Grimtak
. Buy 12 Pattern: Scorpid Surprise. Send your items to AH character.
Hearth to Dalaran and port to Orgrimmar.
Seventh item is found by locating Xan'tish
. He "partols" from Valley of Spirits to the NW entrance to Orgrimmar. Purchase only Brown Snake and Black Kingsnake. Alliance characters can purchase Crimson Snake on Alliance side. Buy 12 each.
Eighth item can be found in two places. Formula: Enchant Chest - Lesser Mana can be found in The Drag at the first shop called Godan's Runeworks. Look for Kithas
. It is a limited supply item, so she may or may not have it. I will usually buy all the Strange Dust and Lessser Magic Essence she has. She also sells Formula: Enchant 2H Weapon - Lesser Intellect this is not a faction exclusive item, but can sell for much more than the 4s 50c purchase. As stated earlier you can also obtain this item in Silverpine Forest.
Ninth item can be found by heading to Valley of Honor past the fireworks wagon to Nogg's Machine Shop. (I miss DS9) There you will find Sovik
. He sells a limited supply item called Schematic: Red Firework. If you want to buy any of the engineering mats, feel free. He also sells Schematic: Steam Tonk Controller, but Alliance can purchase that item as well.
Tenth item is found by taking the Orgrimmar wind rider to Brakenwall Village in Dustwallow Marsh. Look for Ogg'mar
he sells Recipe: Heavy Crocolisk Stew, buy 12. I also purchase Dragonbreath Chili from him because they generally sell well.
Eleventh item is at the Crossroads. Find Tari'qa
he sells Recipe: Crispy Lizard Tail. Buy 12.
Twelfth item is in Thunder Bluff. Take the wind rider to Thunder Bluff. This vendor is in an out of the way location. Go to the bottom of the giant totem and go left past the bank/mailbox. You'll see a trail going up to the next level take the trail up until you go under the bridge. You'll see a hut with Halpa
. She sells Prairie Dog Whistles, buy 12.
Thirteenth item is found by mounting up and heading south to Bloodhoof Village. There you will find Wilma Darkmane
. She is in the large hut in the NE of the village. She sells Recipe: Roast Kodo Meat.
Additional item-
There is a quest where you can obtain Pattern: Kodo Hide Bag from Veren Tallstrider in the leatherworking hut in Thunder Bluff. You need to be level 5 in order to complete this quest. You will need to bring him 4 Light Leather and 3 Course Thread to complete the quest. The pattern is BOE and can be sold cross-faction. It may seem strange, but you can level up to 5 in very little time. I've sold a similar leatherworking pattern from Alliance to Horde for 1500g.
I haven't written it up, but there is a similar process I go through in acquiring Alliance items, obviously the majority of Alliance only cooking recipes are much easier to acquire because they are sold in Stormwind. One thing I've done, but haven't watched it precisely to what it takes in time and mats is to create a Night Elf and go to Dolanaar, there is a level one cooking quest for Kaldorei Spider kabob, it takes 7 small spider legs to finish the quest. I sent in one of my mains to kill a bunch of the spiders to get the legs then either hand them to my level one NE or just send them in the mail. I've been able to sell these recipes for between 400-800 on Horde side Stormrage. Also, if you level up to 7 you can complete the quest needed to obtain Pattern: Moonglow Vest. It will take your character multiple stacks of Light Leather to get to 70 in leatherworking and requires a set of leatherworking items that you turn in to obtain the pattern. I have sold this item 3 times for between 1000-1500g. I'm sure you were well aware of this already.
1) If you want to add it to your guide feel free.
2) If there are any other patterns/pets/other items I should add to the guide, let me know.
3) Thanks for your podcasts and for the website. It really has helped me to look more outside the box on my AH life. I have played toned down versions of many of the ideas that I've read on your site, but it has taken my thinking to new levels.
One of the funnest parts of this was spending a good part of one afternoon selling item by item filling bag after bag and filling mailbox after mailbox of my guildmates with stacks of these items for their mains and alts...LOL!
Mains and alts get really mixed this far into a game. I play an 80 Dwarven hunter named Grumpier and a 75 Dwarven priest named Grumpiest on Alliance Stormwind. I play an almost 80 Troll hunter named Bittershot on AIE's guild on Earthen Ring. I have 70's rogues, paladins another priest and many other characters.

I woke up on Saturday morning to see the valley clouded in mist and drizzle. Oh dear! It was lovely yesterday. Not to worry, as the morning fully unfolded it cleared and we had mostly clear blue skies for the race, gee that's better. After the race it clouded over again and started raining. Someone was looking after us that day!
115 runners set off and 115 safely returned. Leading the way in was Steve Cale, and the first lady home was Anna Bartlett, newly of Mercia, and setting a new ladies record! (47:19).
Full results can be seen here and pictures from Alistair here and a few more from Geoff Cowell here.
Thank-you to all the martials that helped out and thank-you to the National Trust for giving us some space for the race HQ.
See you all again next year.

On tonight's episode of "Auction Hunters," Pawn Shop Edition, Ton Jones and Allen Haff who dug through hundreds of unclaimed storage units hunting for discarded treasure, now own a shop called Haff Ton Pawn Shop and must keep it filled, as they search for more on this episode titled, "Hall of Fame Game."
As the episode opens, the landlord wants to see the guys again, so Ton stays behind and Elle went with Allen. When the landlord came in, he had a bag filled with silverware he wanted smelted. The guys recently started doing this and did not even know he had heard about it. So they will do it without charge for his kindness to them.
As Vanessa, the auctioneer gives the directions, they open the first of two units. It contained a copier that someone else wanted, when Allen won the unit for $1,800, leaving him only $200 for the next auction, he seriously thought about selling the copier. The guy offered him $500 as is.
As the second unit proceeded with the bidding, Allen tried to get $650 from the guy for the copier, and the deal went through just in the nick of time for Elle to close the deal at $800.
In the shop, Big Sis was displaying all the items in the shop for the best sales, while Ton went in the back to smelt the silver. When Allen and Elle arrive with the goods of the day, hopefully, it will be all profitable stuff.
They found a compound bow that Allen had his eye on from the look of the case. In a chest of drawers, there were several vintage games, a vintage Murray children's tractor pedal-car, and a bunch of old basketballs. They were not even completely round, and stitched leather with laces like a football.
When Elle and Allen returned, the place was looking great, and Allen had lots to talk about. Those basketballs were awesome and attracted the attention of former NBA player and Hall of Famer, Rick Barry, who is the only player ever to lead the NCAA, NBA and ABA in scoring. By the shape of these balls, there was not much dribbling done back then, and Rick confirmed it. Rick found one that was similar to a Spalding ball that sold for $60,000, but it was not worth nearly that amount.
At the end of the day, they paid $2,600 for the units, sold the copier, basketballs and several toys for a total of $5,650 giving them a profit of $3,050 on this episode of "Auction Hunters."

Why Indian jingoism is increasing
Author: Tridivesh Singh Maini, New Delhi
India can take pride in its strong and vigilant middle class, which has lent active support to social campaigns against issues such as corruption.
Only a few weeks ago, India's youth and sections of the middle class took to the streets when the government reacted in an extremely insensitive manner to the rape of a 23-year-old medical student. The protesters braved the lathis (truncheons/sticks) of the Delhi police to demand improvement in women's rights. The fact that the emerging middle class is losing patience with the nonchalant approach of the ruling classes to India's problems is a positive sign.
But there is one disturbing trend: the middle class, whose voice gets stronger by the day, is either ignorant on issues of foreign policy or excessively hawkish in its views. This is especially true of the public's view of India's neighbours. The common refrain is that India can live without its neighbours, and should stop handling diplomatic relations with them delicately and tactfully.
On foreign policy, at least, the Indian public is misguided. The current Indian government and governments before it have correctly understood that India cannot grow without mending fences with its neighbours.
The hawkishness and jingoism of the urban middle classes were reflected by irresponsible statements made by members of both the ruling Congress Party and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party as they responded to the death of Lance Naik Sudhakar Singh, who Pakistani forces apparently beheaded. Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare was not far behind, who called for war against Pakistan.
Many commentators argue that increasing anger in large sections of India's middle class — especially the youth — is due to repeated terrorist acts against India emanating from Pakistani soil. But this does not explain why Indian public opinion is also not very favourable to other neighbours like Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. There is no doubt that anti-Pakistan feelings increased in the aftermath of the Mumbai attacks of 2008. But there are other factors at play.
While the Indian establishment has tried to keep things calm, 24-hour electronic media channels have been excessively jingoistic. The news media play a crucial role in shaping the opinions of the Indian public, especially the urban middle class. They are quick to dismiss any sort of dialogue with Pakistan as a wasteful exercise that will pay no dividends. The media is hypocritical on this issue. For example, The Times of India, together with a Pakistani media group, runs a campaign for peace called 'Aman Ki Asha' (Hope for peace), but its television subsidiary is used derisively to mock peace initiatives.
Coverage of Bangladesh is no better. Indian media hardly ever mention overtures toward India by the current Sheikh Hasina regime, preferring instead to look at Dakha through a narrow security lens. Issues such as Bangladeshi migration are looked at as a security threat to India. Immigrants from Bangladesh were blamed almost exclusively for the Kokrajhar clashes, for example, as few channels tried to look at the issue dispassionately or in a nuanced manner. Just as India's electronic media ignores positive changes in Pakistan's civil society, it disregards positive economic, social and political changes in Dhaka.
The editorial choices of media channels are one thing, but some of the blame should also rest on panelists on television. Many programs invite retired army officials or ex-diplomats on to incite public outrage against India's neighbours. Other irresponsible talking heads include short-sighted members of the strategic community, who find an audience through television and newspapers. A large number of these individuals are retired army officers who cannot let go of the baggage of the past and have a very narrow world view. The popularity of their opinions does no favours to India's foreign policy.
The Indian media and even think-tanks rely on former members of India's intelligence agencies for their views of the neighbourhood. This naturally leads to a very skewed understanding of the neighbourhood.
While the strategic community has to factor in defence issues, India's foreign policy cannot be based only on a security perspective. The views of economists and social scientists also need to be factored in. India's middle class must realise that while for the time being it can survive in an unstable neighbourhood, in the long run this is impossible. Reaching out to the neighbours is not a favour to them but to India's future.

The increase in the anger of Indian youth is also because they have been suppressing it for a long time and now have finally woken up. They now need a good control of their lives instead of the politicians or people in power controlling them.
Who cares about increase in Indian youth anger? Indian youth better understand that India itself will be at an advantage by bettering its relations with neighbours. If your show too much arrogance and super-duper confidence in yourselves,you are at loss

After a much-publicized departure from Marvel Studios' feature "Ant-Man," British director Edgar Wright has set up his next project.
Announced today, Wright's next film will be "Baby Driver."
Originally announced in 2008, the project is set up at Working Title Films- it is said to be a blend of action, crime and music, which sounds right in line with the director's "Cornetto Trilogy."
Wright will write and direct the film and it is a part of a two-picture deal with Working Title, the frontend of that deal was last summer's "The Worlds End."
As of now, no actors are attached to the feature and plot details have not been released for "Baby Driver," but expect quick cuts and Wright's unique brand of action/comedy.
News of this project is music to fans of Wright's ears, fans that were immensely disappointed that he would no longer be bringing his vision of "Ant-Man" to the big screen.
Wright and Marvel announced Wright's departure on May 23 citing "amicable differences."
Soon after the deflating news was announced, Marvel replaced Wright with "Yes Man" director Peyton Reed to salvage the film's July 2015 release date.
Wright has not spoken publicly about the divorce from Marvel, but Marvel Studios' head, Kevin Feige spoke out recently in an interview with The Guardian stating "We sat round a table and we realized it wasn't working," said Feige. "A part of me wishes that we could have figured that out in the eight years we were working on it. But better for us and Edgar to figure it out then, and not move it through production."
Although we will never get to see Wright's version of "Ant-man," fans of the auteur can rest easy knowing he is hard at work on "Baby Driver."
No release date is set for "Baby Driver."

Does the "Baby Driver" ease the pain of Wright's failed trip to the Marvel Universe? Sound off in the comments below.

The rescue of an endangered 10 year old boy in El Salvador by Dallas area immigration group ended after the Dallas office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) refused to cooperate with them . On Friday, January 17, Dallas ICE Field Director Simona Flores ordered all communications with the Isenberg Center for Immigration Empowerment (ICIE) to end. Ralph Isenberg, the founder of ICIE, had been working with ICE agents on an emergency plan of action to rescue the young homeless boy.
The circumstances of how the boy became homeless and separated from his immediate family in America are remaining confidential at this time. This is both for security reasons, and to protect the family from additional emotional distress.
"In my opinion, we were one signature away from reuniting the family and removing this child from harm's way," said Isenberg, who was planning on flying himself and/or with the boy's father to El Salvador immediately after receiving the needed signature from ICE. Isenberg had secured the necessary travel documents from government officials in El Salvador to reunite the family. There had been direct communication and cooperation between both ICE and ICIE until ICIE staff member Mery Blanco received a phone call from Dallas ICE informing her that ICE Director Flores had put the brakes on the rescue plans, and they could no longer help with the case.
"I consider the situation critical given the extreme danger this young boy is currently experiencing," Isenberg said. "The position of Flores is indefensible, in that her actions not only violate current DHS/ ICE policy towards children, but also violate international agreements regarding children with a host of international organizations including the Organization of American States and the United Nations."
United States Immigration Policy dating back to 1952 permits the government to immediately act and take appropriate actions when it can be shown there is a case of extreme family separation and a foreign national has an immediate relative that is a United States citizen. Both situations apply to this case. "This matter cannot be any more obvious and Field Director Flores needs to be investigated immediately," says Isenberg, who points to a long-running feud between his organization and Dallas ICE as the primary reason Flores is being so uncooperative.
"We deal with ICE offices all across the country, and no office conducts itself the way Dallas does. It would seem Field Director Flores would rather risk the life of this young man over this dispute. I find her attitude heartless, reckless and childish to name a few adjectives," Isenberg concludes. The family includes both parents, a sister (age 13), and two younger brothers, who are United States citizens.
The Isenberg Center for Immigration Empowerment is "a resort of last hope," and people come to ICIE because the system has failed, and as a result, someone is facing a wrongful deportation. Since their founding in 2011, ICIE has helped hundreds of deserving families, and provides all services pro-bono. The organization deals with the entire family unit, from teaching the basic fundamentals behind community service, to English education, to individualized counseling to build positive mental health.

It is a standing joke at our home that I have to do everything…but my husband does everything else. I guarantee you that "everything" is always a better deal.
Today has been a good example. I cooked breakfast and gradually worked on kitchen cleanup between updating our checkbook and listing items on eBay and Amazon. He, on the other hand, pulled the toilet from our master bathroom to replace the leaking seal. It has been a messy job that involved several trips to local hardware stores.
My only contribution was retrieving a new roll of paper towels for him as he was sopping up the water from around the toilet drain in the floor. He did everything else. I never once got my hands dirty. Just the way I like it!

Sports Scouts
According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), employment opportunities for scouts and coaches are expected to grow faster than the average for all careers through 2022, but competition for jobs will be stiff. There are approximately 1,000 sports scouts in the United States and most work for professional teams. Baseball is the sport that employs the greatest number of scouts. Due to the limited number of professional scouts, most job opportunities will be found with lower-level sports, such as with high school and college athletic teams. The DOL reports that the "growing interest in college and professional sports will also increase demand for scouts. In addition, as college tuition increases and scholarships become more competitive, high school athletes will hire scouts directly, in an effort to increase their chances of receiving a college scholarship."

This is a very nicely styled little lamp. And I mean little. It's small in size & gives little light, do not expect to read with it. But it does make an attractive accesory. On off switch is on the cord. One weird thing, when I unpacked it - the bottom flap was opened and there was a mystery piece of plastic. I figured it was a mistake, closed it up and threw away the offender. No harm, but that's why I didn't rate it good quality.
[...] When I opened the box, the shades were already falling apart. Also, the leather and stitching are very shoddy.These were to be used bedside, but with the switches on the cord, they are difficult to turn on / off as the cords constantly fall behind the nightstand. If I was interested in keeping them, I would spring for a remote.Bottom line: You get what you pay for

Doky Brothers

The Doky Brothers
were a straight-ahead mainstream jazz duo that emerged in the mid-'90s with a pair of albums for Blue Note. The group's music was straight out of the hard bop traditions of the '60s, balanced by flourishes of contemporary production and fusion.
Natives of Copenhagen, Denmark, pianist
Niels Lan Doky
(b. October 3, 1963) and bassist
Chris Minh Doky
(b. February 7, 1969) are the product of a musical family; their father was a physician who played classical guitar, and their mother was a Danish pop singer. After spending a couple of years playing guitar,
switched to piano at the age 11, inspired by the
Scott Joplin
music that was featured in the hit
Paul Newman
Robert Redford
film The Sting. He gradually became acquainted with the major pianists in jazz history, and began playing professionally at the age of 13. Two years later, he played with trumpeter
Thad Jones
, who was in Denmark leading a big band on radio. Jones was impressed with Niels' skill and encouraged him to move to America. The trumpeter wrote a recommendation for the young pianist, which led to a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music in Boston for
. Between 1981 and 1984,
Niels Lan Doky
attended Berklee, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in professional music. During his time in Boston, he performed with
Terri Lyne Carrington
Cyrus Chestnut
Branford Marsalis
, among many others. Following graduation, he moved to New York, where he began playing gigs and sessions. After playing with
Joe Henderson
Woody Shaw
, he recorded his debut album,
Here or There
, for Storyville Records. It was the first of a series of solo records from
, who recorded for Storyville, Milestone, DAM/Maracatu, Soul Note, and Columbia.
In 1989,
began touring as a co-leader with his brother
Chris Minh Doky
. Like his brother,
began playing music as a child, starting on piano before switching to bass at the age of 15. He initially played electric, moving to acoustic two years later when he discovered jazz. After spending some time studying with Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen, he moved to New York in 1988, intending to attend the Berklee College of Music. While in New York, he met and performed with a number of musicians, including
Randy Brecker
John Scofield
. One of his acquaintances,
Jimmy Cobb
-- a drummer who had formerly played with
Miles Davis
Wes Montgomery
-- convinced
to stay in New York and receive his education by playing in clubs. In 1989, Chris Doky recorded his first album,
, for Storyville Records and began touring with his brother as a co-leader.
During the early '90s,
the Doky Brothers
continued to lead their own sessions as solo artists and tour as a team. Eventually, the pair decided to record together as
the Doky Brothers
. Their eponymous debut for Blue Note was produced by Pederson and featured guest appearances by trumpeter
Randy Brecker
, saxophonist
Michael Brecker
, drummer
Terri Lyne Carrington
, guitarist
Ulf Wakenius
and singer
Curtis Stigers

It's kind of odd to have nothing to do. I mean, relatively speaking- there is never really nothing to do in college. I'm finally on spring break, and it's been a whirlwind couple of weeks. Between the Holi dinner with the South Asian Students Association (free Indian food, great music by yours truly and colorful decorations everywhere? You don't really see me complaining xP) and the Oxy -Caltech Orchestra concert, I had a great break from the papers I had to write. And of course we're two weeks to the show for Dance Production- when did that happen? The Oxy-Caltech Orchestra is one of the many highlights of the music department. They usually have two concerts per semester and rehearse...Read More

Hello blog readers. I apologize in advance if the title of this blog post sounds too much like an analytical essay of some sort. I also want to warn you that my thought process recently has been a tad jumbled. Here's why: On Monday I went to class as always, tired and bummed cause it was a Monday, but generally excited about the last week before spring break! Around dinner time I started to get a sore throat (boo!!!) Tuesday morning I went up and went to , the health center on campus. Emmons has walk-in hours from 9-10 and 3:30-4:30 daily. The doctor that I saw told me that I had the flu, which apparently has been going around schools all over the country lately. She was incredibly sweet - at one point I felt faint and she held my hand and rubbed my back while I laid down, just like my mom would have done. I spent all of Tuesday and much of Wednesday in bed, unable to get work done or concentrate for very long, which was incredibly frustrating....Read More

hola from southern spain, granada. one of the many pleasures of studying abroad in europe is the ability to travel. ive never been to this continent, so i am taking full advantage of the relatively inexpensive ticket prices and busing/flying all about. my first trip outside of the country was to lisbon, portugal. -twelve hour over-night bus from granada to sevilla to lisbon - terrific hostel, wonderful people -snuck into a museum in the interest of our lowly budget - went to belem for tasty treats - found ourselves at an english pub - went to sintra, a city/town/mountain made for the portuguese nobility (castle upon palace upon mansion) - photographed great street art - went to the other side of the river to see the monument of jesucristo - rode a street cart - got lost a lot - learned a bit of portuguese - went to a jazz bar with classic porto. enjoy the photos!

Wow!! I just got accepted to study abroad in the fall of next school year! I am so incredibly excited! I will be studying psychology at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. The International Program Office sent out an email last month saying that acceptances wouldn't be sent out until after Spring Break, but I guess they decided to surprise us! My Facebook newsfeed is full of people's statuses about studying abroad next year. So far, I've seen statuses for Morocco, Australia, Rome, Spain, France, Amsterdam, India, Argentina, South Africa, Japan, Chile, and I'm sure many more are still to come! Next year is going to be so incredible with so many of my classmates spread across the world. I'll be sure to write a longer, less spur of the moment post in a couple days, but I thought it would be fun to post in the midst of the excitement!Read More

Today I was getting really worried about my living situation for my senior year. As seniors, we have to accept a contract that says that we will participate in Room Draw. Since there are limited rooms for seniors, this contract lets the school know how many seniors to accept living on campus. I of course want to live on campus my senior year (to save up money!) so I definitely needed to accept this contract. Unfortunately (or fortunately actually) I applied to study abroad in the Fall of 2012 and so if I picked a room at Room Draw and then cancelled it when I found out if I got into the study abroad program I would be charged $750 (I know!). I was asking around to see when I would find out if I got into my study abroad program and people said we would find out after Spring Break (which is after the deadline for the senior contract) so I was getting worried that I was either going to get charged or not have a room when I returned from abroad. After...Read More

I can't believe it's already March! It feels like the second half of February went by even faster than the first half did.

For those of you who don't know, Room Draw is the process that determines on-campus housing for rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Even though I got an incredibly good room draw number (7 out of 528!), I'm actually hoping to live in themed housing next year.

Okay, so I should preface this by mentioning that I'm not a fashionista in any way, shape or form. In high school I was often told I 'had style,' which I think meant 'you go to alternative school, don't you?'

Hello there! Spring Break is just around the corner and after that we will be half way through the semester! I can't believe junior year is almost over. I will definitely feel old when I have to introduce myself to people as a
child "senior", bummer. But any who, since my last post I have been busy with work and homework, go figure, but now I have taken up an internship at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Beverly Hills, CA. This internship is on a "beta" for now so we will see how it goes. Basically what we (3 other students and I) will be doing is translating manuals from English to Spanish as well as working with the patients on techniques to help them remember to take their medicine and show up for their appointments. The patients we will be working with are patients who suffer from HIV and so it is critical for them to take their medication every single day at the same time. It is also...

So I'm a full time student. If you were to ask the registrar what that means their office might give you a numerical answer, like earning 12+ credits per semester. But there's more to that, there's the feeling of being a full time student that I carry as well. The feeling that time is a precious commodity when I look at my calendar and see that I'm booked straight from 8:30 AM – 8:30 PM. The feeling that the cycle of problem sets, office hours and exams are perpetual and infinite. The feeling that I'm working hard at all times. This might sound terrible to you, but it really isn't. It's a mindset that I've grown into and grown to love. When...Read More

Thanks to the votes of thousands of Democrats, Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., won his primary runoff election against Chris McDaniel, his Tea Party-backed challenger. But an explosive report posted Monday at Got News alleges that Cochran campaign staffers engaged in a massive vote-buying scheme that could cost Cochran his Senate seat under Mississippi law.
According to the report, Stevie Fielder, associate pastor at historic First Union Missionary Baptist Church, told Charles C. Johnson he delivered "hundreds or even thousands" of blacks to the polls after he was offered money and told that McDaniel is a racist.
"They," he said, referring to the Cochran campaign, "told me to offer blacks fifteen dollars each and to vote for Thad."
Several provisions of various state and federal laws prohibit bribing voters. Mississippi law says that any candidate engaged in vote-buying can be disqualified from running in that race for the office and be removed from that office if he or she has been elected into it.
Fielder, who says he was paid for the information he provided, claims he was promised some $16,000 by the Cochran campaign to entice blacks to vote. Others like him, he added, were also reportedly given cash to get blacks to the polls.
At the direction of the Cochran campaign, he added, he went "door to door, different places, mostly impoverished neighborhoods, to the housing authorities and stuff like that," telling other blacks that McDaniel is a racist and promising them $15 per vote.
"They sold me on the fact that he was a racist and that the right thing to do was to keep him out of office," he added.
According to Fielder, Saleem Baird, a Cochran campaign staffer who also serves as a legislative aide to U.S. Senator Roger Wicker, along with Cochran campaign manager Kirk Sims, were involved in the scheme. Baird, Fielder added, was doing the same thing across the state, but ended up stiffing him out of the promised $16,000.
"In addition to Baird, Fielder says he spoke with Kirk Sims, the Cochran campaign manager, and a woman named 'Amanda' with the campaign, most likely Amanda Shook, director of operations to re-elect Thad Cochran. All refused to pay him the agreed upon amount of $16,000," Got News said.
Fielder said he was paid for his story, something Johnson defends despite warnings by the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics.
"Why wouldn't I pay for an awesome story?" he told Breitbart.com in an email. "Gawker, the Daily Mail, TMZ all pay for information (and they pay poorly, by the way). There's also a long history of 'checkbook journalism' in America. I'm bringing it back. Indeed, every press baron in American history has relied on it. Pulitzer, Hearst, Luce, and, yes, Oprah are all supporters of it. David Frost paid for the Nixon tapes, goodness sake."
A full transcript of the interview with Fielder can be seen here.

Motivation (you can ignore this part): A problem in Hartshorne (II.5.8c) asks to show that if we have a coherent sheaf $\mathscr{F}$ on a reduced noetherian scheme $X$, and the function
$$\varphi(x)=\dim_{k(x)} \mathscr{F}_x \otimes_{\mathcal{O}_x} k(x)$$
is constant on $X$ (where $k(x)$ is the residue field), then in fact $\mathscr{F}$ is locally free. (This is a homework problem for me.) I think that if $X$ is affine (say $=\operatorname{Spec}A$), then $\mathscr{F}$ will actually be free, not just locally. It will certainly be true that $\mathscr{F}$ will be the sheaf associated with a finitely generated $A$-module $M$, so there will be an exact sequence
$$0\rightarrow K\rightarrow A^m \rightarrow M\rightarrow 0$$
for some $m\in\mathbb{N}$, and because $A$ is noetherian, $K$ will be finitely generated. Thus $M$ is a finitely presented module, say by the matrix
$$\begin{pmatrix} g_{11}&\dots& g_{1r}\\ \vdots &\ddots &\vdots \\ g_{m1}&\dots& g_{mr} \end{pmatrix}$$
Then if $x=\mathfrak{p}\triangleleft A$, $\mathscr{F}_x\otimes_{\mathcal{O}_x}k(x) = M_\mathfrak{p}\otimes_{A_\mathfrak{p}}k(\mathfrak{p}) = M\otimes_A k(\mathfrak{p})$ is precisely the module presented by this matrix except with the entries interpreted as elements of $k(\mathfrak{p})$. The condition that $\varphi(x)$ is constant means that the rank of this matrix (with entries interpreted in $k(\mathfrak{p})$) doesn't depend on $\mathfrak{p}$. (Say it always $=s$.) Then the original matrix (entries interpreted in $A$) has the property that no $\mathfrak{p}\triangleleft A$ contains every $s\times s$ minor; however, every $\mathfrak{p}$ contains every $(s+1)\times (s+1)$ minor. The former condition means that the $s\times s$ minors generate the unit ideal in $A$. Since $A$ is presumed to be a reduced ring, the latter condition means that every $(s+1)\times(s+1)$ minor is zero.
Now $\mathscr{F}$ is free iff $M$ is free. So if it's true that $X$ affine $\Rightarrow$ $\mathscr{F}$ is free (under the conditions of the question), then what I want to show is the plausible-to-me-seeming claim that if a matrix fulfills the conditions just described, then it presents a free module. It seems to me that if this is true it will not depend on the noetherian hypothesis on $A$, since all the relevant ideals and modules are already finitely generated. So -
My question: Let $A$ be a commutative ring with unity. Let $M$ be a finitely presented module over $A$. Say that $M$ is presented by an $m\times r$ matrix with the property that the $s\times s$ minors generate the unit ideal in $A$, but all the $(s+1)\times (s+1)$ minors are zero.
Is it true that in this case $M$ is free, of rank $m-s$?
If so, can you give me a hint toward a proof? (I have been having fun with this problem so far so I'd prefer less than a full solution.)
My work so far: I checked this "by hand" in the simplest nontrivial case, that the matrix presenting $M$ is $2\times 1$ and $s=1$: suppose $a,b\in A$ and $M$ is presented by $\begin{pmatrix} a\\b\end{pmatrix}$. The condition on the $s\times s$ minors means $(a,b)=1$, so $\exists f,g\in A$ with $fa+gb=1$. (The condition on the $(s+1)\times(s+1)$ minors doesn't tell us anything because it's already forced by the shape of the matrix.) Then the $A$-linear map
$$ r\mapsto \begin{pmatrix}gr\\-fr\end{pmatrix}$$
is an isomorphism of $A^1\rightarrow M$. It is injective because $gr=-fr=0$ implies that $r=r(fa+gb)=0+0=0$, and it is surjective because for arbitrary $\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix}$ in $A^2$, take $r=bx-ay$, and then since $fa=1-gb$ and $gb=1-fa$, we have
$$\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix} - \begin{pmatrix}gr\\-fr\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} x-g(bx-ay)\\ y+f(bx-ay)\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}(1-gb)x+gay\\ (1-fa)y+fbx\end{pmatrix}=(fx+gy)\begin{pmatrix}a\\b\end{pmatrix}$$
which represents zero in $M$.
I started to look at the next simplest case I could think of: I took $A=k[a,b,c,d]/(a+b+c+d-1,ad-bc)$ for $k$ some field, and was thinking about the module presented by the matrix $\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\c&d\end{pmatrix}$. I would like to show this matrix is isomorphic to $A^1$. I still haven't thought about minors bigger than $1\times 1$ generating the unit ideal, so I realized in the interest of time I should ask for help.
A last thought: Suddenly while writing this I realized that the result I want is strongly reminiscent of the Quillen-Suslin theorem, as described in Michael Artin's Algebra. This makes me suspicious that the result I want won't be true in full generality. Any thoughts on the relation of my question to the Quillen-Suslin theorem would be appreciated as well.

They say great taste is timeless - but then again, so is bad taste. Despite the time we spend looking for stuff to make you salivate with desire, occasionally we stumble upon things that elicit a very different oral reaction. Sometimes we shudder and move on, and then there are times that the object in question is just too awful to keep to ourselves, so we bring it to you as a Doubtblush.
We're all for creative and new ways to accessorize, but the last place some of us need to draw attention to, is our thighs! The Litter 3-Tier Garter ($250) is said to be "a seductive leg accessory made of heavy stainless steel chains," - we're not so sure what's seductive about chains around a thigh. Each piece is custom made, which might be the reason for the hefty price tag. Maybe if we were re-living our hair-metal days, this would be acceptable, but otherwise - definitely, not!

Please Visit Our New Site
Before Jan 30, 2013 I was unhappy and very depressed about my life and weight. I saw a group of ladies at a Health Expo in Sandy, UT and thought I could never do that. But, on Jan 30, I gave it a try and stepped into my first Pole fitness class. Jennifer Wilkins was the instructor for the class and I was scared and feeling stupid for even trying something like this but she made me feel welcome and I stayed. From that moment of I was in love with the class and the ladies that attended. I was actually seeing and feeling the results from taking the JW Method classes. I am so glad that I found Jennifer Wilkins and the JW Method. The classes have changed my life and I am loving the feeling of being sexy and happy. I have gone from a size 14 to a size 10. I was so impressed with the results of the JW Method that I am now certified to teach. I am so lucky to be a part of the family and will never look back. Love JW Method!
I just love and adore J&M Expressions! I have been at this studio since August of 2011 and will never leave! All of the instructors are so down to earth. They make you feel like you're at home. Very encouraging and there's never a dull moment at the studio :) A little background on me is that, I used to weigh 310 pounds. I did lose some weight but In 2011 at 250lbs I found pole and once I was introduced to the JW method, my body completely changed. Muscle was being built, strength was increasing and the pounds started to melt away. I'm currently 185 pounds right now and while I have done the JW method since 2011, I still get sore and I still build muscle and I can climb up a 16 foot pole no problem! I'm so blessed to now be a part of the J&M family as I am soon to become a certified instructor and share my love for pole with the world!
My name is Cora and I am 53 years old and thanks to Jennifer Wilkins and all of her totally awesome trainers my body looks like a million bucks. I have been working with Jennifer and her team for approximately 17 months and I feel great because I am physically fit and recently have been able to discontinue taking my blood pressure meds I have been taking for 8 years. The JW METHOD has been a great workout program for me as I have many old sports injuries and health issues that make me susceptible to getting hurt easily but Jenn makes sure I don't get hurt so I can keep coming back and making progress. It is a killer total body workout!
My name is April I have 2 daughters ages 20 and 18. I have always been in pretty good shape but have recently stopped going to the gym because I really didn't enjoy it anymore. I was looking for something fun to try which is how I came across Jennifer's studio. I came to my first class JW class and loved it. I have only been coming for 4 weeks and I am proud to announce I have lost 1 inch off my belly and 1 inch off my butt, and 1/2 an inch off of my thighs. I am blown away at how quickly I have seen results. I went shopping the other day and had to buy a pant size smaller. The JW Method is awesome and I would recommend it to everyone!
I have been doing the JW method since October 2011. It not only helped me with all the tricks and strength skills I wanted to do on the pole, it also worked all the small muscles that other exercises do not reach. The JW method gave me lean, cut muscles I didnt have before.
I was in the best shape of my life when I became pregnant with twins. My doctor did not want me to go upside down anymore so I stuck with the JW method throughout my pregnancy. It helped me keep the muscles I had before pregnancy, and it also gave me energy and strength to keep working while growing two babies. When I was in labor my doctor told me she was glad I kept up with JW while I was pregnant cause it gave me the endurance to push for 1.5 hrs with my first baby, and 15 more minutes with my second!
After giving birth I waited 6 weeks until the doc said I could work out normally. I went straight back to the JW method. Within a week I could already see my hips coming back together, my stomach shrinking, and my muscles starting to tighten back up. After 6 weeks of JW nobody could tell I had just birthed twins! Now its 6 months later and I am back to competing, doing all my strength moves and tricks. The JW method is perfect for every body type, every age, every reason to tone, strengthen, and cut your body into whatever shape you want! Whether you are a busy mom or business owner, competitive poler or just-for-fun pole gal, the JW method gets you the results you want.
The JW method helped me feel like myself again. I love my babies and they are worth every stretch mark, but I am so glad I have the JW method to give me "me" back.
When I turned 40, then 50, I told myself I needed to exercise so I wouldn't end up like my parents who had no muscle and struggled to get out of their LazyBoy chairs. Each time I did nothing.
I was 59 years and 4 months old when I met Jennifer Wilkins. I told her I wanted to be in shape by the time I turned 60, that I had one artificial knee, and severe osteoarthritis in the other knee and hip. Jennifer didn't blink an eye, she just told me I could do it and that she would be happy to help me.
During private sessions that lasted a year, Jennifer started me with easy exercises to build stamina and to loosen and strengthen muscles in my legs arms and core. Each week we worked on something new and the exercises got progressively more difficult and demanding - and fun! Using a pole with the exercises gave me stability and allowed me to concentrate on movement. When I would grit my teeth or groan, Jennifer would laugh and encourage me to complete the reps... and I did! She would say that I'd be concentrating on one area for the hour, like legs, but every session was a full body workout. After a few months I noticed that my arms had muscle and my upper arms were firm and not flabby like so many women my age. My stomach began to tone and I had so much more energy. I knew I was really getting into shape when could dead lift a 50 pound bag of bird seed and carry it from the garage to the back yard. I switched to group sessions for the next year. As Jennifer challenged me to work harder, she was also challenged to adapt her pole exercise routines to my body which was not as flexible as her younger clients. During the two years she worked with me, I lost 10 pounds, shaped up my body, and felt better than I had in years. I didn't take "before" and "after" pictures and I now regret that I didn't.
A year ago, after a two week vacation with lots of walking, the osteoarthritis got the best of me. I had hip replacement surgery, then had my second knee replaced four months later. I stopped working out with Jennifer because I didn't know the limits of my new joints and because I couldn't get down and up from the floor like I once did. I firmly believe that I was able to put off these surgeries for two years because of our work outs and that my recovery went as well as it did because Jennifer whipped me into shape.
We move to another state at the end of this week and I'm also facing my 62nd birthday with a new resolution. One of the first things I plan to unpack at our new home will be the notes from my private sessions with Jennifer...followed by my weights, exercise ball & bands, and bicycle. I want to set aside an hour every day for some sort of exercise because I want to grow stronger as I get older. When I am tired and want to quit, I hope to remember Jennifer's laugh and her faith in me, and will keep going. Time to take my new "before" picture...
If you would like to share your story with us please send us a message through our contact page. We hope you have the best experience with us and experience the same things these amazing ladies have. Thank you for being a part of our family.

Volunteers are the heart and soul of our conference. We could not run SiWC without them! We have volunteers that come back year after year; an essential part of our SiWC family. If you'd like to join us, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Because we do so heavily rely on our volunteers, we need them to be committed. Of course, last minute problems can always arise, but please don't offer to volunteer unless you can do the job. There is a wide range of volunteer opportunities, both at the conference and year-round, so there's likely something you can do to help that is suited to your own strengths. Come and see first-hand what makes us the best writers' conference out there!

College Hockey:Vint notches four points as Robert Morris routs Quinnipiac
HAMDEN, Conn. – Rebecca Vint tallied four points for the No. 8 Robert Morris Colonials as they skated to a 5-1 victory over the No. 10 Quinnipiac Bobcats Saturday afternoon at the High Point Solutions Arena.
Vint scored two goals and two assists, including registering her 100th point of her career on the first goal of the game; she is just the third Colonials player to do that in the club's history.
The Colonials had another milestone as well, as coach Paul Colontino recorded his 53rd career win as coach to take over the program lead.
Robert Morris took advantage of the special teams as it scored a short-handed goal, two power-play goals and a four-on-four even-strength goal in that second period.
"Number wise, these two teams are so close and so evenly matched on paper that you knew going into it, you don't know how many penalties or power plays you're going to get, but you know when you get them on both sides they have to be huge," Robert Morris coach Paul Colontino said.
Both teams combined for 15 penalties in the game, as the Colonials were 2-7 on the power play while the Bobcats were 0-8.
"I thought our [penalty kill] was very good, in just reading and reacting to their [power-play] because I thought their [power play] was awesome," Colontino said. "It was just a couple misfires and a few sticks that we were able to get in the lanes of some passes that broke things up, and when we didn't get that we had great goaltending."
Quinnipiac had four power plays in the second period alone, but could not convert to match the Robert Morris second period.
"I don't think our power play's got a goal this half [of the season] so I didn't see much," Quinnipiac coach Rick Seeley said. "We killed off most of their penalties this weekend, so I guess I'm happy with the penalty kill and not so happy with the power play."
Robert Morris jumped out to a 1-0 just 20 seconds into the second period when Vint cleaned up the rebound off a shot from Kylie St. Louis and tucked the puck past Quinnipiac goaltender Chelsea Laden.
"I thought we showed up kind of the same way as yesterday and I thought we got it together and played pretty well, and then that bad short-handed goal right off the faceoff I thought deflated us," Seeley said.
The Colonials tallied a second goal 12 minutes later when Rikki Meilleur made it 2-0 as she tucked home a rebound of her own after an Ashley Vesci shot was saved by Laden and the puck squeaked out of her pads and onto the ice in front of the net.
Vint added her second goal of the game with six minutes to play in the second period when she scored on the rebound once again, this time off a shot from Thea Imbrogno, whose shot went high on Laden and bounced in front of the crease.
"Obviously we gave up too many weak goals, but I didn't think our team responded well to them either," Seeley said. "I thought we lost our discipline, starting taking some bad penalties and lost our focus, so I think that's how one turns into four pretty quickly."
Just 1:52 later Robert Morris made it 4-0 when Anneline Lauziere scored a power-play goal of her own after Vint passed the puck from next to the Quinnipiac goal and Lauziere controlled the puck in the slot before snapping it home.
After the Lauziere goal, Sydney Rossman came into the game in goal for Quinnipiac, replacing Laden.
The Bobcats got one goal back in the third period when Shelby Wignall scored her first goal of the season as she wristed a puck from above the slot where it deflected off a Colonials defender and went five-hole on Robert Morris netminder Jessica Dodds to make it 4-1.
"We knew Quinnipiac was going to come out guns blazing, just because I'd expect nothing less from them, and they did," Colontino said. "They got a great goal early in the period that set the tone and if we didn't have our players woken up already, that surely woke them up."
Imbrogno notched her second point of the day as she closed out the scoring for the Colonials at 5-1 on a breakaway after a blue line to blue line pass from Vint and put the puck past Rossman.
"We've got to refocus," Seeley said. "I think we've been kind of riding high and full of ourselves and I think we found our spot. We have to start working harder at the little details if we want to make any noise in the conference playoffs."

I had mentioned back in January that I feared Nick Saban's departure to college was dangerous. Basically, my argument was that he was under contract with the Dolphins and Alabama did everything to lure him away, and though he was a willing participant, this undoubtedly would change the way coaches are recruited.
Enter the University of Kentucky, who are courting the University of Florida's head coach while he is coaching in the Final 4. Who cares whether he's interested or not. Its wrong.
Thanks a lot, Nick, for changing the face of coaching forever, jerkie.

Recycling is not just for cans,
newspapers and glass bottles anymore. There's a rising tide of obsolete computers,
cell phones and other electronic gadgets overflowing landfills. Unworn clothing
and unused appliances clog up closets and cupboards, creating even more waste.
What can you do as a concerned citizen of Planet Earth?
Below are some
tips on how to find a new home for your discarded gear. Not only will it free
up space in your home, you can sometimes earn some extra cash by selling unwanted
items. Or you can donate
them to a charity -- and gain a tax deduction at the same time.
of e-wasteElectronic waste, or e-waste, is defined as unwanted or discarded
computers, monitors, televisions, faxes, cell phones and other home electronics.
It's a growing problem. Consumers are throwing out an average of 130 million cells
phone a year, according to the National Safety Council.
to statistics found on eBay's Rethink
Project Web site, in the three years ending in 2006, some 400 million computers
will be replaced worldwide. Meanwhile, more than 75 percent of all computers ever
sold haven't been disposed of at all; they are stockpiled in our closets, garages,
offices and warehouses, a potential future threat to the environment.
regions and states offer eCycling programs or have rules about the disposal of
obsolete electronic gear. To find out about your area's requirements, visit the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's site at epa.gov/ecycling/live.htm.
Each state lists guidelines for e-waste disposal, as well as information about
regional collection events or electronic recyclers.
makers offer solutionsWhen you're in the market for a new computer,
check with the manufacturer of the computer that you are replacing to see if they
have any programs in place for recycling.
Many manufacturers
do sponsor such programs. Apple, Dell, Gateway, Hewlett-Packard and IBM offer
recycling, leasing or trade-in programs for used PCs. Apple even has a trade-in
program for iPods. Epson has a recycling program for its used computer hardware,
including printers, scanners and projectors.
With trade-in
programs, you get a discount on a new computer when you bring in your old one.
For example, Gateway's rebate program gives money back to people who trade in
their computer when buying a Gateway. On the other hand, recycling programs --
where the manufacturer is disposing of your old PC in an environmentally correct
manner -- will cost you. IBM, for example, charges about $30, includ

Crystal Harris To Auction Engagement Ring After Dumping Hugh Hefner
Crystal Harris is auctioning off her engagement ring.
The onetime Playboy cover model, who ditched Hugh Hefner just days before their wedding, is selling the platinum and diamond ring through Christie's auction house in New York in October.
It's been reported for some time that Harris was looking to unload the pricey token of Hef's love, but now it looks like she's officially ready to part with the bling.
Hefner proposed to Harris last Christmas Eve, and they were set to wed on June 18 – before Harris canceled at the last minute.
Check out the Christie's entry for the 3.39 carat circular-cut diamond – estimated at $20,000 – $30,000 – below.

When my children were young, younger and youngest (all under seven), I schlepped them around Los Angeles because there was so much to see and do. Now suddenly that the youngest IS seven, we're staying closer to home because I've allowed them a say in how they'd like to spend their free time. During the soccer season, there was no such thing. Now, inching toward spring, I find myself longing for the days when I strapped them into the car and took off on adventures both unpredictable and fun. Not once do I recall any of them saying, upon arriving back at our house, "We shouldn't have done that, Mom. Bad idea." Nine times out of ten, they were asleep in the backseat because they'd gone out and done something. I was reminded of those days this past weekend when I took a long run through Griffith Park, one of the unsung jewels in the life of any Los Angeles denizen. Parents, especially, need to remind themselves of its myriad attractions for children and the adults who hang out with them.
I don't even know where to begin. If it's not raining on Saturday, I'm taking the girls to The Trails Café, where we can sit under the trees and have a tasty lunch. After, we'll go on a twenty-minute hike to the Observatory and explore, maybe even take in the Planetarium show so I can close my eyes and nap. There's a good chance they're going to want a cookie before our hike back down to the car, so we can stop into the Café at the End of the Universe, looking over the Los Angeles Basin and up to the Hollywood Sign and I can get some coffee. Something tells me if I try to do more with them, there might be mutiny in the minivan, so we'll head back home, past:
The Pony Rides (10am-4pm, closed Mondays)
The Southern Railroad (10am-4ish)
The Merry-Go-Round (weekends, and weekdays during Spring Break and Summer)
Spokes n' Stuff bike rentals (weekends during winter and most of spring, $8-12 for bikes, $20 for surreys)
Shane's Inspiration (the first of the Universally Accessible Playgrounds)
Harding Municipal Golf Course (green fees $6-39, driving range also)
The Autrey Museum (10am-4pm weekdays, 11am-5pm weekends, closed on Mondays)
The Los Angeles Zoo (10am-5pm)
The Live Steamers (11am-3pm Sundays only)
Travel Town (10am-4pm)
Did I mention the hiking trails, the running paths, the Greek Theatre during the summer, the bird sanctuary? Picnics, tennis, barbecue pits?
If you ever question where some of your tax dollars are used, Griffith Park provides answers. It is our essential oasis. Take the kids.

On May 29, 2014, Demi Lovato announced the first set of dates on her 2014 "Demi" world tour. The announcement was made on her official internet outlets, such as her website, Twitter account and Facebook page. The announced concerts dates are in the U.S. and Canada and take place from Sept. 6 to Oct. 25, with Christina Perri and MKTO the opening acts at select concerts. Tickets for these shows go on sale on June 6, 2014. More concerts on the tour are to be announced. (See the tour dates at the end of this article.)
Lovato was among the artists who performed on the "American Idol" Season 13 finale, which took place at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles on May 21, 2014. On the "American Idol" Season 13 finale, Lovato performed a mash-up of "Really Don't Care" and "Neon Lights." During "Neon Lights," six of the female "American Idol" contestants from this year's Top 12 (including finalist Jena Irene) joined Lovato on stage for the performance. Unfortunately, many of these contestants sang weakly and off-key, essentially ruining the song. Lovato's performance, which used backing tracks, was better but not by much, since it consisted of a lot of shouting instead of singing.
Other artists who performed in the season finale include Lady Antebellum, Aloe Blacc, Kiss, John Legend, Jason Mraz, Jennifer Nettles, Paramore, Phillip Phillips and Darius Rucker.
Rock singer Caleb Johnson was named the winner, while Jena Irene came in second place.
As previously reported, "Cosmopolitan for Latinas" named Lovato its Fun, Fearless Latina of the year. Lovato is on the cover of "Cosmopolitan for Latinas's" Summer 2014 issue.
Lovato was a presenter at the first annual iHeartRadio Music Awards, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on May 1, 2014. NBC had the U.S. telecast of the three-hour show, which was presented by Clear Channel Entertainment.
At the ceremony, Lovato received a nomination for Best Fan Army for her group of devoted fans called Lovatics. The other nominees in the category were Ariana Grande's Arianators, Lady Gaga's Little Monsters, Austin Mahone's Mahomies, Rihanna's Rihanna Navy and Taylor Swift's Swifties. (Rihanna Navy won.)
Although she did not win at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Lovato did win at the 2014 Radio Disney Music Awards, which were held on April 26 at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles and televised in the U.S. on Disney Channel. Lovato won the awards for Best Female Artist and Favorite Roadtrip Song (for "Made in the USA"). She did not attend the ceremony.
"X Factor" alumni who won at 2014 Radio Disney Music Awards were One Direction and Fifth Harmony. One Direction (which did not attend the show) won the prize for Best Music Group. Fifth Harmony (which performed at the show) won the prizes for Breakout Artist of the Year and Best Song to Rock Out to With Your BFF (for "Me & My Girls").
Lovato was a judge on "The X Factor" U.S. in 2012 and 2013. In December 2013, she quit the show at the end of the show's third season because she said she wanted to focus on her music career. Fox cancelled "The X Factor" U.S. in February 2014.
Lovato's "Neon Lights" North American tour took place in February and March 2014. The opening acts were "X Factor" alumni Fifth Harmony (on all tour dates), Little Mix (on select tour dates) and Cher Lloyd (on select tour dates). Lovato has been touring in support of her fourth album, Demi, which was released in 2013. Frankly Chat and Clear Channel co-hosted "iHeartRadio Live With Demi Lovato" at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank, Calif., on April 14, 2014.

The Anti-Villain League decides it needs an insider's help and recruits Gru in the investigation. Together with the eccentric AVL agent, Lucy Wilde, Gru concludes that his prime suspect is the presumed dead supervillain, El Macho, whose his teenage son is also making the moves on his eldest daughter, Margo.

As promised I will be doing a series on Weddings and desination locations throughout the Berkshires to get married and/or to honeymoon. The Berkshires have some of the most picturesque scenery in New England.
Our first stop is on the web at www.berkshirebride.com in browsing through their site I have found they are a valuable resource for this series. Their number one rule is that you will only find berkshire businesses resourced on their site. In my opinion this is a true statement to the community throughout the berkshires.
Their site is interactive with online contests, events, a wedding resource area as well as the opportunity to become a member either as a bride or a wedding vendor. Attention brides, be sure to check out the "Icing on the Cake" contest.
I recommend if you are a berkshire bride or a vendor and you are not on this site you are making a huge mistake!

sort of last minute, my husband wants to home school. i need a curriculum that has lesson plans and everything that i need, but can't afford 700 dollar curriculums right now. do you guys know of anything that's priced decently?
Inexpensive home school curriculum that's christian?
My Father's World...that is what we are planning on using for 1st grade. Complete curriculum is about $250 and we will just order an extra set of student sheets for our second son...you can buy some used as well. I am new to this so I am not sure how much help I will be.
Mom to Parker 9/26/05 Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, Ephraim 1/29/07, Iris 2/25/11
It looks like your kids are very young. For kindy, it's really easy to homeschool for free. There's lots of online resources. We don't use anything formal, so hopefully others will chime in with some of their free online resources they use. I know there's plenty out there. Some may not be Christian focused, but you can add in religion pretty easily. As for $700, we don't spend anywhere close to that even for upper elem! We don't use a boxed curriculum though.
