getting big
I ordered a few new things for Israel which arrived today.
They're so cute but as I was looking at them I felt a little
disappointed, they're so big! I can't believe my baby is
wearing these sizes now.
I the plus side, I am really enjoying this age and even these
"little man" clothes I can dress him in now. I couldn't resist
the little terrier t-shirt!

Florida Marlins: Elih Villanueva en route to Philly for Wednesday start
Triple-A New Orleans right-hander Elih Villanueva will join the Marlins Tuesday night in Philadelphia and start the front end of Wednesday's doubleheader.
A product of Florida State and Miami native, Villanueva was 4-5 with a 5.23 ERA with 28 walks and 47 strikeouts in 13 starts (72 1/3 innings) for the Zephyrs. He's also allowed 14 home runs, tied for fifth most in the Pacific Coast League. His 1.65 WHIP ranks 50th out of 56 PCL qualifying pitchers, but Villanueva over his last three starts can boast a 1.93 ERA and is coming off six shutout innings against Memphis.
The Marlins have not officially announced the move yet. They have to make corresponding transactions to accommodate Villanueva on the 25-man and 40-man rosters. One 40-man option is to place Josh Johnson on the 60-day disabled list.

Agile Adoption Says Good Things About Businesses In Tough Times
Posted by Tom Grant on April 22, 2010
- 402 Recommendations
- 0 comments
As we've discussed before, Agile adoption swelled in the last one or two years, diving into the mainstream of how businesses build and deliver value to customers. (You can definitely say that Agile is mainstream if there's more than a one-third chance that, in your next job in a development team, you'll be following Agile practices.) At a time when the public perception of companies has taken a brutal beating, that outcome is a genuine compliment to many businesses.
When the economic storm clouds gathered, companies might have battened down the hatches, sticking to the most tried-and-true ways of doing business. The recession might have been the strongest argument against disruptive changes, once the economic margin of error became a lot smaller. A business process as critical as product development might have been the last thing anyone wanted to tinker with.
Therefore, Agile presented just the kind of disruptive change that organizations might have avoided. It doesn't work unless organizations embrace new values and procedures. These changes ripple throughout the organization, especially in the technology industry, where the technology is the business, not just a business accelerator. Every team must figure out how to chart its own Agile course, usually leading to an idiosyncratic mix of Agile and non-Agile methods. None of these changes will be easy.
The dramatic rise in Agile adoption meant that companies looked these realities in the face and said, "We need to make this kind of transformation, not in spite of the recession, but because of it." Rather than steering clear of the unknown, these organizations saw Agile as an adaptive way to navigate uncharted economic waters during and after the recession. For those of you who made this gutsy move, give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.

Box Score
ITTA BENA, Miss. - The Alabama softball team scored five runs in the first two innings and added another in the fourth to earn a 6-1 victory over Mississippi Valley State Tuesday evening at the MVSU Softball Complex. With the win the Crimson Tide improves to 32-9 on the season while the Devilettes drop to 18-21 on the year.
Senior Charlotte Morgan and freshman Kayla Braud collected two hits apiece while Morgan hit a home run and drove in three. Freshman Lauren Sewell held MVSU to just two hits and a run to lead Alabama to its eighth straight win.
Alabama raced out to an early lead by scoring three runs in the first and batting around in the inning. Morgan started the scoring with a sharply hit single to left field that plated Braud, who bunted her way on to start the contest.
Junior Whitney Larsen then put down the sacrifice bunt but was able to beat it out and draw an errant throw that sailed down the right field line to score sophomore Cassie Reilly-Boccia. Alabama would cap off the inning with a bases-loaded walk by sophomore Kendall Dawson that would score Larsen from third.
The next inning Morgan would strike again. This time the senior sent her 12th home run of the season over the centerfield fence. The blast also brought home Braud who started the inning with a leadoff walk.
In the fourth inning Braud continued the Tide scoring with a slap hit through the left side that plated fellow newcomer Keima Davis to make the score 6-0. The centerfielder reached on an error to start the inning and promptly stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch.
In the bottom of the fourth the Devilettes broke the no-hitter by Sewell with a double down the left field line by Ashley Hobbs. Hobbs later came in to score on a wild pitch to make the score 6-1.
Sewell improves to 8-1 on the season after striking out 10 and not issuing a walk. Lisa Jansen (11-10) was tagged with the loss after allowing five runs on four hits while walking five.
Alabama will return home to host a three-game weekend series against Mississippi. The two teams will start the series on Saturday, April 17 with first pitch slated for 2:00 p.m.

What do you do.....
.....when you are bored?
I usually go to Lucasforums and some other forums, play Baseball, Map JA, or listen to music. :)
So, what do you do when you are bored?
It sucks to be bored, huh?
Well, in the case of boredom, I draw, then when that's become boring, I try to find something that'll either get me to laugh, or satisfy my appetite for excitement by watching a good movie (or listening to good music, for that matter).
Something that involves a little action. :)
I'm never bored, because there's always something to do.
That's not to say that sometimes I'm not lethargic, and don't want to do anything at all.
i'm only bored when i'm at work, so i come here to pass the time.
Lucky! I often find myself bored.... :(
Bored, what´s that?
Keep your life busy, that´s the answer ;)
when i'm bored i do one of many things ...
- keep working on my house renovations (will it EVER end?!)
- hone my computer modeling skills
- tool around online
- play my xbox (currently enveloped in the crimson skies universe)
Things I do to get around the boredom:
I recently started with 3D modeling so I´m playing with my max a lot. I´m also more into to designing stage with Illustrator so that helps aswell. I play guitar, I draw now and then, I do some sports, juggle, go out with friends, play CoD, search usefull info on things, ...
As you can see everything helps ;)
Note: If you're under the legal drinking age, don't try this at home :P
I'm gonna learn to code (PHP, Java, etc...) this summer, along with JA Modeling. :)
I haven't been watching baseball lately, but I'm going to a BSox game tommarow. :)
well when i get bored i play a good computer game, go on forums. chat to my freinds on MSN. i just try not to be bored coz i tend to get really depressed when i have nothing to do.
The game was awesome! :D Nomar hit it all the way to the top of the Green Monster, almost a homerun, but he still got a double and 2 RBI's from it. ^_^
I think the final score was 3-9, Boston. :)
heya folks..
When i am bored i either play PC games..go and mountain bike around ..anywhere :P talk to my freinds on MSN or go onto other forums...
I bungee jump with decaying giraffes when I'm bored!
Seriously though, I play games or come to LF, or just dive into the internet and see where the road takes me.
I go to LF... though usually, i stay bored there... like now... Strange as it may seem, Bim_blaster_bob and Arkle-seizure were pretty fun, they made everything less boring... though they were annoying as hell, they kept posting, arkle-seizure got banned four times :D Can't say i was bored then...
EDIT: oh yeah, i also download Demo's from games i might want...
Yay, now I'm setting up a website for Rock N' Roll! Yay, go me! :D
Good Idea. A lot of kids learn to code at your age. Including me :D. You should talk to mongo about messing with the code on his "other" ssbmtc forums. The java will be good to know since it is based on c and c++ but php is where the internet is really going these days,
Is it going to be a Rock history-type-of-page, or a shrine dedicated to a certain band, or is it going to be just an average all-rock website? I'd like to know because I'm curious as to what you're going to do with it. ;)
I visit LF alot when bored, play video games often, go out and play tennis, maybe play some hockey, watch movies with my girlfriend, hang out with friends, on occasion I'll write little programs to keep my coding skills mildly intact over the summer, etc. etc. :D
I visit LF and run around my house naked while talking to myself.
* Giggles *
Well, I'm certaintly not busy anymore. Here's what I've been doing:
*Working on SSBM mod
*Playing Diablo II
*Working on a website
*Learning JavaScrip and C++
Is diablo II as good as the first? Because for it's age Diablo is neat. :)
And, if you play Diablo II on US-East Non-Ladder, I'll hook you up with some good items. ;)
If you can, buy the Battle Chest. Comes With Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II Expansion Pack, and the strategy guide (Which is actually pretty helpful for figuring out how you want to build your char)
Whatever way you do it, make sure you get D2 and Lord of Destruction, the expansion pack. ;) The Battlechest is about 40 bucks, btw.
40 dollars? Are you insane? I'll go back to EB games and pick up Diablo II for 13 bucks, and careful shopping could get me the expansion for like 10. :p
I'd really like to pick it up, but school is starting soon, and with Fable and Halo 2 on the horizon, my gaming calendar is booked :dozey:
EDIT - I'd like to say, it has a TON of reply value. There are 7 charecter classes:
Paladins are the Holy Warriors. They are experts in combat (with melee attacks, which could be using their sword or even shield, and holy attacks which include sending a holy bolt of lightn ing straight into your enemy) and have spevials skills called "Auras". Each Aura does something different, but only one can be on at a time.
Druids use the land as their weapon. They can cast out Fire and Wind attacks, such as volcanoes, hurricanes, and even Armagedons. They can also call out for animals to help them, like wolves and bears. The druid can even turn into a werewolf or a werebear!
Barbarians are the ultime melee combats. Their brute strength alows them to swings two weapons at once. They also have War cries, which increase certain things like life, mana, and damage.
Necromancers have control over the dead. They can summon golems and skeletons from corpses. They also can use curses (like Amplify damage, which increase damage given) and Posion and Bone attacks (such as Bone Spear or Posion Nova)
Sorceresses are the least strongest, but make up for it with their awesome magic abiltiies. They can use fire, ice, or lightning. The sorceress can even teleport to avoid being hit!
Amazons have mastered the use of bows and spears. They hav e the ability to throw lightning javelins, or shoot arrows that follow your target.
Assassins are actually female. They are masters in the Martial Arts. They can also use shadow diciplines like casting a shadow warrior, burst of speed, or mind blast. They can also set traps that kill your enemies.
Diablo II has the stat system like Diablo I, where you get 5 stat points for every level, and get to choose if you put them in Strength, Dexterity, Vitality, or Energy. But, there are also skill points. One is awarded for every level, and can be used for some of the skills listed above. There are about 30 skills for each type of charecter, and each skill can have a max of 20 put into them (but you can get skill bonuses from items you have. ;)). The highest lvl your charecter can be is lvl 99, but most people stop around 85 because it is hard to lvl after that. ;)
Yes, it's a good game, and yes I wrote all this. Go buy it now. :D
Damn you Zed, I want this game so badly now :xp:
I would totally be a sorceress, I'm always a magic user in RPG's. :D
I just don't knowif I have the funds/time necessary to play it....hmmm.......
The best part is you can duel other people too, and there are hundred of items you can use!
www.battle.net :)
I play guitar. Im usually bored a lot of the day, so I end up playing my guitar for 5 hours or so.
And I just picked up Skies of Arcadia for game cube a couple days ago. Ive played for 3 hours so far, and Im hooked. :)
When Im Bored I......
Boot up the comp and come here or play a bit of AOE or I put my xbox on and jump off the empire stste building in spider-man 2.
I play xbox and listen to music. And come and hang out here. that's about all i ever do cause i'm bored all the damn time, and I got no friends within a state of me. XD
I listen to music, play my Xbox and visit Lucasforums. The usual.

Microsoft shows off LG Panther with the latest build of Windows Phone 7
First appeared back in February, LG's first Windows Phone 7 device (known as LG Panther) has been showcased again by Microsoft, while demonstrating the latest build of WP7.
Pocket-lint was present at the Microsoft event, and it now reports that the Panther "was working very smoothly", although its touchscreen display could have been a bit more responsive.
It looks like the LG Panther will be among the first Windows Phone 7 devices to be launched later this year (in Q4) – HTC and Samsung will most likely have WP7 devices by then, too.
As for Microsoft's new OS itself, this isn't fully functional yet. However, Facebook integration is "intuitive and seamless", while Zune provides access to music and videos "quickly and clearly". Xbox Live support will be included in a later build of WP7.
Is there anyone actually waiting for Windows Phone 7, when there's so much talk about Android and iPhone going on?

Map If in Ruby and an Introduction to Ruby's Inject
When I first got into Ruby I kept hearing the saying: "There is more than one way to do it." At first, this really freaked me out. I thought it meant that learning Ruby was going involving reading lots of code golf samples where developers come up with tricky, cleaver, and mind boggling ways to accomplish small problems. That original thought could not have been more false. Over the past year I've discovered that Ruby's "There is more than one way to do it" really means that the best way to do something is generally the most readable and understandable way.
Map if
Here is a little example of multiple ways to do the same thing, what I like to call the "Map if" problem.
Map if involves taking an array (or any enumerable object) and returning a manipulated version of every element for which a certain condition is met. So, lets write a piece of code that takes an array of integers and returns an array of those integers multiplied by two if the integer is an even number.
given [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] return [2*2, 4*2, 6*2] or [4, 8, 12]
A very straight forward way to solve this problem is just chaining two array methods together.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].select { |elm| elm % 2 == 0 }.map { |elm| elm * 2 } # => [4, 8, 12]
First select will filter the array but the condition defined in the block. Then map will apply its block onto each element in the array that select built.
A better way is to solve this problem is to use Enumerable's inject, which is somewhat foreign to new ruby programmers. It's syntax is a little off putting at first, it takes 2 parameters: a starting object and a block. The block then takes another 2 parameters: an element and the result. Before I explain this method any further here is an the above map/if done with inject.
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].inject([]) do |result, elm| result << elm * 2 if elm % 2 == 0 result end # => [4, 8, 12]
So what is this doing? Inject in english is:
Start with some object (our empty array) and then pass each element in our caller ([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]) to the block. Provide a result object that the block can freely change. The result starts out as our first parameter (the empty array) and then becomes whatever the block evaluates last.
So why is inject better? There are a number of reasons
One method with one block
Our select/map example above was straight forward, but it involves multiple method calls and multiple blocks. The longer our method chain becomes the less readable our code is. Inject is readable because the block is just a block, that is to say, if you write readable Ruby in the block then the inject method is going to be very easy to follow.
Part of Enumerable
Any object that extends enumerable is going to have inject. This makes it very reusable. I find myself using inject on a daily bases for all sorts of different use cases.
The real power of inject lies in it's ability to build new objects while looking at every element in the caller individually. Since inject can draw values from any enumerable object it makes it an ideal method for many common uses such as filtering, grouping, summing and everything else related to building. The map if example showed how inject can be used to filter and build.
Grouping a list of words by the first letter of the word:
["alpha", "bravo", "charlie", "bark", "almond"].inject({}) do |result, elm| result[elm[0].to_sym] ||= [] result[elm[0].to_sym] << elm end # => {:a=>["alpha", "almond"], :b=>["bravo", "bark"], :c=>["charlie"]}
Inject is used in many common ruby idioms. The next code line will look like absolute garbage to anyone not familiar with Ruby. However, to someone that knows inject it is a very clear and readable code.
Sum up all the numbers between 1 and 10 inclusive.
(1..10).inject(:+) # => 55
Short and simple, but what happened to our parameters and block?
No Starting Value
When you call inject without a starting value (the first parameter) the starting value will default to the first element inside your enumerable. So in the above example result would be 1 for the first pass.
No Block
In Ruby 1.9 all symbols have a to_proc method. Instead of passing a block where a block is required, you can pass a symbol and that symbol will create a proc that then calls itself on the object. The object in this case is our result. So :+ will turn into result + *args, where *args is our element.
Charlie permalinkDecember 23, 2011
The code block:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].inject([]) do |result, elm|
result << elm * 2 if elm % 2 == 0
returns a undefined method `<<' for nil:NilClass
Another way of writing this could be:
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6].inject([]) do |result, elm|
result << elm * 2 if elm % 2 == 0

C Spire's Samsung Galaxy S and Motorola Milestone X finally get updated to Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Today is a great day for you if your carrier of choice is C Spire (formerly known as Cellular South) and your device of choice is either the Samsung Galaxy S or the Motorola Milestone X. See, both these phones have now received updates to Android 2.3 Gingerbread from C Spire.
And it was about time, with the next version of Android for phones (Ice Cream Sandwich) already announced. Anyway, now's not the time to be angry. Instead, if you have the Galaxy S, go and install the Kies desktop software and do the update thing. Yes, you'll need to use a computer.
Aside from taking your Samsung smartphone to Gingerbread, the update will also improve battery life, IMAP/POP3 email performance, account and contact sync performance (think Facebook), and it will increase the MMS maximum size from 512 KB to 1 MB. If you're interested in the full details, look no further than this PDF.
The Gingerbread update for the Motorola Milestone X devices sold by C Spire has started rolling out yesterday. This update will come over-the-air, so a computer is not needed to apply it. Your phone should prompt you when the update has reached it, but if it didn't then you can always manually check by going to Settings > About phone > System updates. With your fingers crossed, naturally. The update for the Milestone X also brings a new version of the oft-hated Motoblur UI overlay alongside the Gingerbread bits.

Community Members React to Lopez Staying On Council
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on July 19, 2013 @ 7:09PM
Created on July 19, 2013 @ 5:26PM
Thursday night, 5 News went to the Clarksburg City Council Meeting where Councilman Zeke Lopez said he has no intention of stepping down from his position.
Lopez said the statement he gave Thursday night will be the only public comment he intends to make. The councilman was recently arrested for domestic abuse related to an incident a few months ago. That's when he allegedly beat his wife several times with a rolling pin. Lopez said he can't explain how sorry he is.
Friday, 5 News went out in Harrison County to see how people in the community feel about this and two people, who want to remain anonymous, had very different views.
"I think they should let the legal process play out. I think sometimes we over react to things and it's hard to tell what's going to come out in the end," said Harrison County Resident.
"I don't think that's a very good role model. We don't need these types of influences on our young children," said Harrison County Resident.

Some people believe mascara is mascara as long as it coats your lash. But from New York to California women make a fuss over which mascara to buy. Cosmetics companies do tons of research into developing new mascaras. Well, irrespective of all the research and technology there are some tricks of the trade that will help you achieve great lashes regardless of the mascara you choose.
• 1) Let the layers dry between each coat to avoid clumping.
• 2) Use two different mascara formulas.
• 3) Find the right wand. Full wands are for volume and thickening. Tapered wands are for lengthening and separation.
• 4) Use brown mascara on inner lashes and a black on outer lashes to add dimension.
• 5) To thicken sprinkle a little powder on your lash.
• 6) Use a rolling technique when applying the mascara; roll the wand through your top lashes in a circular motion.
• 7) Apply your mascara in sections. Use your finger to apply first to the inner lashes, center lashes, and outer lashes
• 8) Take off any excess with a tissue before applying to prevent messes.
• 9) If you want to use colored mascara, apply white mascara first then apply the colored mascara to intensify the color.
• 10) Bend your wand so you get to those hard to reach lashes.
• 11) Use a lash primer.
What do I keep in my kit?

Casting a Ballot
In the 2009 legislative session, there are several bills that have been proposed relating to election administration. Many of these bills are designed to make elections more efficient in administration and management, which is especially important in the current economic situation. In 2009, many local governments will be holding elections and making sure these elections are conducted as efficiently as possible will be important for cash-strapped local governments.
In a recent study of local election officials in Utah conducted jointly by the Institute of Public and International Affairs at the University of Utah and the Center for the Study of Elections and Democracy at Brigham Young University, we found that local governments face unique challenges running elections in the current environment. First, we found that not all jurisdictions are equal in their ability to carry out election reforms. Most of our municipalities in Utah have small populations and their town governments have administrative capacities that are small, which is appropriate for the communities that they serve.
Second, election reforms for Utah cities and towns should provide these communities with options and should recognize the differences in population and administrative capacity that exist between a town and a first-class city. Two weeks of early voting is probably unnecessary for a town with 400 registered voters but a city of 100,000 may need such voting. Likewise, vote-by-mail may be quite helpful in some jurisdictions but not in others.

One bill that addresses this issue head on is the Local and Special Service District Election Amendments bill (HB44), which would allow local districts and special service districts to conduct elections solely by absentee ballot. This type of election is almost always a low-turn out affair, yet local governments are required to run them as if they were presidential elections, recruiting poll workers, sending absentee ballots to permanent absentee voters, printing ballots, and opening polling places for the elections. This legislation would streamline the process and allow local and special service districts to simply mail an absentee ballot to all voters in the district and allowing those voters who are interested to vote. There is a similar bill, Coordinating Municipal and Special District Elections (HB43), that provides for polling places for local district and special service districts to be combined with municipal general election polling places whenever possible. This, too, will increase efficiency of these special district elections.
This bill also has a very important informational component; some voters live in special service districts but may not be aware of it. By sending voters an absentee ballot, these citizens will become more aware of the governments that serve them and may increase their interest in participating in these elections.
Wording Ballot Questions
The Ballot Questions Amendments bill (HB48) is designed to bring clear language to the ballot by requiring that all ballot questions—initiatives or referenda—that are put to the voters have a title that is not more than 75 words long. Ballot initiatives and referenda are often skipped by voters; clear use of language and shorter titles may address this problem, in part. In addition, litigation often results when referenda are confusing; shorter titles may force sponsors to write more clearly. One way to improve this legislation would be to have a random group of registered voters—chosen from the voter rolls—read proposed referenda before it is put on the ballot to ensure that it is written in a style that is understandable to the average voter instead of in "legalese".
Early Voting
The Early Voting Amendments bill (SB24) will repeal the requirement that first class cities provide at least one early voting location within each state Senate district. Early voting was very popular in Utah in 2008 and it is likely to grow in popularity. However, it may not make sense to have an early voting location in every state Senate district. Early voters are often voting on their way to work, during a lunch hour, on the way home, or as they complete a set of errands in their day. This means that early voting locations should be thought of as a type of retail experience and should be put in highly trafficked locations to increase voter convenience.
There are two issues that should be considered in this legislation. First, although it may make sense to more carefully think about the location of early voting sites, the state may want to continue to require each county to have the same number or more early voting locations equal to the number of Senate districts in the county. Given the popularity of early voting, if a county lowers the number of early voting sites it may cause very long lines at remaining locations and also increase the number of election-day voters and the problems that can occur on election day.
Second, the legislation does not address an existing problem with early voting, which is the requirement that local governments—regardless of size—operate early voting locations. Small jurisdictions—4th and 5th class cities and towns—are the predominate jurisdictions in Utah and are quite small yet they have to operate early voting like a first class city, even though many of these jurisdictions are not even open full-time for normal municipal services. Addressing the needs of municipal governments could enhance this legislation.
Online Registration
One innovative bill—based on innovations in several Western states—is the Online Voter Registration bill (SB25). It would allow the Lt. Governor to create an online voter registration system. This bill will make voter registration easier but also improve efficiency and accuracy by pulling information from other state online databases—like state driver license information—for the purpose of registration. This system builds on requirements in the Help America Vote Act, which require voter registration information to be checked against driver license records and other data to verify the veracity of the registration.
The Voter Challenge Amendments bill (HB49) would require that voter challenges be filed prior to the election. Challenging voters will still be allowed but the challenges will have to be filed prior to the election and be serious in nature, not frivolous. This pre-election process will improve the efficiency of the challenge process, ensuring that an ineligible voter is prevented from voting before the election. Also, given the pressure that exists on poll workers on election day just to implement the election, having polling places free of confrontations between challengers and voters will likely improve the atmosphere in the polling place.

This article is an excerpt from an upcoming feature, the full version of which will appear this fall in Public CIO magazine and Web site.
Effective project management is a concern for many public CIOs. With a number of IT projects either underperforming or facing complete failure, IT executives are constantly on the lookout for the latest project management tools and best practices. One such tool gaining ground in both the public and private sectors is Earned Value Management (EVM). This principles-oriented methodology covers the entire life-cycle of project management, helping executives to plan and execute projects successfully. Below are 10 facts CIOs should know about EVM in order to maximize the benefits of the methodology.
1. "Triple Constraint" is Necessary for EVM's Success
Scope, schedule, and budget -- the "triple constraint" of any IT project -- must be present and measurable in order for EVM to work. The methodology relies on the relationship between these constraints that help to represent a project's past, present and future.
2. EVM Principles are Reliable Predictors of Project Success
The handful of principles behind EVM provides a reliable prediction of project success. By increasing the applied intensity of these EVM rules, CIOs will see a correlating increase in a project's success rate.
3. Expert Planning is Required to Use EVM
While some people claim that EVM is hard to apply, this is only because EVM requires planning in order to be successful. Organizations using EVM must be able to define, schedule and budget the body of work from the ground up. For this reason, executives don't often choose EVM for more detailed projects.
4. EVM Works Best in Collaborative Organizations
Using EVM methodology requires organization members to frequently gather and analyze information from the bottom up. This involves a level of teamwork and coordination that can be challenging in larger organizations. Team members must be willing to stay in close contact during the life of the project in order to ensure success.
5. EVM Compliments Other Project Management Techniques
EVM does not have to be used in isolation. Techniques such as Critical Path Method (CPM), GANTT charts, work authorization methods, and quality control techniques can all be used in conjunction with EVM. Combining common techniques with EVM methodology can in fact increase a project's chance of success.
6. EVM's Metrics are Reliable
EVM has unique metrics for evaluating and calculating project performance. The methodology combines three aspects of a project's performance (scope, schedule and cost) into unified performance measures. These metrics are both realistic and accurate, and can be relied on by IT executives.
7. Contract Type Does Not Influence the Benefits of EVM
Despite past assertions, EVM doesn't just work for cost-plus type contracted projects. The benefit of EVM is actually greater on contracted projects where scope, schedule and costs are fixed, making EVM effective with any project regardless of contract type.
8. Retrofitting EVM After a Project Has Begun Isn't a Good Plan
Using EVM will affect how a project's scope of work is defined, budgeted and even scheduled. By implementing EVM after a project has begun, CIOs will disrupt the work, budget, schedule, communications and the project's ultimate success. Instead, implement EVM in the project's planning stages to ensure no disruptions throw the project off course.
9. Emphasizing EVM's Mechanics Individually Can Lead to Maximum Benefit
The methodology's three fundamental techniques -- WBS, S-Curve and its integrated metrics -- can be emphasized individually in varying degrees depending on the project in order to improve project performance. For example, in cost-plus contracted projects, one way to control costs is to focus on the WBS, which significantly

As promised, here are some photos of the back of my new S6. Hopefully you can see that the left side is noticeably "redder" than the right side. The patterning and striations are nice and seem matched, but the color surely does not. Is this normal? Or did something go wrong in the manufacturing process? I have sent an email and the photos to Godin to see what they say. I know it's only a $400 guitar but I would just like to get some feedback about it.
Views: 1185
@ Gord ... The Martin (a DCPA-4 model) was in the used section of GC ... it was marked down about $150 below what it should have been, so they obviously knew something was up. It has since sold, so somebody was willing to live with it, I suppose. I agree, that I'm sort of surprised it got out of Nazereth. By comparison, my DCPA-4 Spruce Top looks like a slice of yummy pound cake. I know that the ugly one probably plays just as well or maybe even better than mine, but .... it just looks so, well, ugly!
Thanks Jud. I see your S6 is bookmatched - mirror images. Does not look like mine, for sure. Will have to probably wait until Monday to hear back from anyone.
Just for the record . . . definitely does NOT look like crap....:)
UPDATE: I heard back from Godin last night at 7:30pm. :) He said it was "somewhat rare" to see the back like that. He asked for my serial number. In the meantime, I had an email with a return shipping label waiting for me from my dealer this morning. Pretty fast response. :) So off it goes today. I asked for them to throw in some freebie stuff for my trouble so we'll see. I also asked them to make sure they eyeball the replacement guitar before stuffing in the box so we don't have to go through this again. In the meantime, I am without an S6 probably for a couple of weeks. :(
Thanks guys for all your help!
We aim to please! :-)
BTW: Which is your fav ... your D-28 or the D-18V ??? I kinda liked the D-18V myself ... like the Adirondack spruce top. Going to be curious to hear how much competition your S-6 Gull gives those two when competing for your attention.
Hey Jud,
Thanks! :) Oh boy . . . I love both the Martin dreads. The D18V is incredible and it kills at jams. Martin just discontinued this model so it's even more precious to me. The D28 is a little quieter, more focused tone, like you would expect from a straight braced Martin. I got my vintage Ace strap on it, the same gold pattern one that Joni Mitchell is often seen wearing w/ her D28.
UPDATE!!!! I just took receipt of my replacement Seagull S6. It was a long wait but worth it!! Here's the back - The color is actually a tad redder than the photo shows. I took a photo of the front with my new Seagull leather strap - nice - and my new Seagull hat to go with it.
I tell you this thing rocks and my Martin dreads are lookin' a little scared of getting sold off!!
That looks better - very pretty guitar, I love the S6's simplicity - and your S6 is just gonna sound better and better as it gets played in and ages.
Keep an eye on the Martins, tho - if you hear them mumbling about "...string change" and "...setup", they may be having self-esteem and jealousy issues, and will need a little extra attention...lol...
Love that strap...
Carlos, I WISH they had thrown in the swag but those were purchased from Godin to soothe myself during the absence of my S6!!
We'll see what I get from the dealer - I just asked for strings, picks, etc.
LOL! Yes I am a swagaholic. Just got my Martin military issue cargo coat. Don't know when I'll need it anytime soon here in So Cal but hey...I also got some Seagull picks. Gee what will I do with my Taylor t-shirt and hats now that I sold my GS mini? Oh well!

For those who are avid gamers, the title Dark Souls has made several shiver in their gaming chairs. Known for the taglines, "love your deaths," and "prepare to die," Dark Souls is just one of those titles that stays with a player for quite the long while.
Dark Souls was created by Software and published by Bandai Namco games. The game-play was rumored to be excruciatingly hard, with a learning curve that would turn most players away from even attentive play. Deaths were numerous, infuriating and quick to come by. That was the appeal. Dark Souls difficulty and rewards were pulling hardcore gamers into the fold, the great feeling of relief of downing a boss or finally reaching the next bonfire being the force that drove them cautiously on. And as one would think, the bosses and levels only get harder as a player continues on. Here is going to be a content and strategy walk through for some players.
Life of an undead isn't easy. So, when a fellow undead helps in busting a character created protagonist out of jail only to run head long into the game's first boss, things look pretty bleak. The asylum demon is a large hulking thing that wields an even bigger and disgusting looking weapon. Defeating him comes with quick reflexes and a good aerial stab on the way down. Upon killing it, the new and adventurous character is carried a way by a enormous raven and dropped into his or her destiny of determining the fate of all undead.
The ride with the raven drops the character into the second bonfire of the game and the first interactions with some npcs. This is the Firelink shrine, a middle ground where some characters go to gather and others save on their way to new areas.

If my high school had bestowed an award on the student "Least Likely to Succeed in Gym," the prize would have been mine. In college, my NordicTrack served as a coat rack. In my twenties, though, I learned to love running. Although competitive sports had never been part of my drama-geek repertoire, I had a secret wish to complete a marathon. I'd been running about 35 miles per week. A would-be novelist, I loved the narrative: "Former dud runs like the wind!" But soon I learned that my marathon victory was not to be. The spoiler: my unreliable knees. And then I discovered the elliptical machine at my gym, New York Sports Club. It strengthens the muscles around my knees; it calculates my speed and distance; and does all that with television.
It came to me: What if I ran the 26.2 miles of a marathon on the elliptical? Easy terrain, 16 channels at my disposal and a willing gym staff. At that time, I was doing seven miles a day on the machine, six days a week. But now that I was "in training" I decided, after consulting real marathon running guides, that I'd run 10 miles a day for five weeks, with weekly 15 milers and one 20.
As much as I wanted to marathon, I hated the training. My beloved elliptical, once a place of escape and aerobic high, became a source of pure anxiety. Everything hurt. Why was I doing this, again?
I was miserable, but I continued.
On marathon day, a hideous Nor'easter made me grateful I'd be performing indoors. I was slow to start: The first mile felt like the 27th. But soon I settled in to Law & Order: SVU—luckily for me, they too were doing a marathon! At the seventh mile, when the gym was empty and nobody would steal my machine, I took a two-minute bathroom break. Like a real distance runner, I drank my Gatorade and ate my bananas. My neck started to hurt at mile 13, but I knew I would finish. At mile 26, three hours and 55 minutes later, there were no silver robes or cheering crowds. Just a bunch of oblivious gym members doing their own thing. Magically, that was enough.

Utah Charter Schools.
Charter schools are public schools created by a group of parents, teachers or community leaders who see an educational need in their community and want to meet that need. To operate, charter founders must submit an application for approval by the State Charter School Board or the board of a school district. Like other public schools, charter schools serve students from kindergarten through the 12th grade.
Charters schools offer parents and students additional choices about where students attend school and the school's curricular emphasis. They allow educators freedom to try new strategies to inspire students and to experiment with innovative ways of educating students. Also, charter schools allow individuals and organizations outside of the traditional education system to create and run public schools.
As a general rule, yes. Laws and regulations relating to religion in the schools, school fees and tuition, health and safety, civil rights, annual reports, prohibitions against advocacy of unlawful behavior, screening of potential employees or volunteers for competency and fitness, and most other matters are the same for both charter schools and other public schools. The Utah State Board of Education may waive any of its rules for a charter school or other public school if the school applies for a waiver and the Utah State Board of Education finds that the waiver would not violate applicable law or cause harm to students or the school.
A charter school is exempt from existing negotiated agreements relating to the hiring, employment, and dismissal of employees. A charter school's governing body may determine the level of compensation and the terms and conditions of employment for its employees. Charter schools may only employ educators who hold valid teaching certificates or who meet State Board requirements for alternative certification or authorization.
The rules vary, depending on whether the entire school or simply part of the school is being considered for charter school status.
If the entire school is being considered, then two-thirds of the licensed staff in the school and two-thirds of the parents or guardians of students attending the school must sign a petition supporting the change. In addition, the local school board may reject the proposal if students whose parents or guardians choose not to remain in the new charter school would not have access to a public education comparable to that which they would receive were the school not to become a charter school.
If only part of the school is being considered, then the petition need be signed only by a majority of the educators and a majority of the parents or guardians of students attending the school. There is also no requirement relating to non-charter school participants when only part of the school is converted to charter status.
No. A charter school is part of the public education system and must be open to all students, without discrimination, on the same basis as other public schools. If the number of students applying to enroll in a charter school exceeds the capacity of the school or of programs, classes, or grade levels within the school, then those to be admitted are chosen at random from among the applicants, subject to certain preferences:
Mandatory preference. If a public school converts to charter school status, students who would have attended the public school must be given preference in enrollment.
Optional preference. Based on the written charter, preference may also be given to the following:
Yes. As public schools, charter schools must meet all state and federal laws in supporting students with disabilities, limited English proficiency, socio-economic disadvantages, and other special needs.
No. Charter schools are public schools. They must function like every other public school in Utah. They must meet all of the same standards and comply with all of the same laws. A charter school program cannot be affiliated with or restricted to a particular religion. Curriculum, admission policies and employment practices must all be nonsectarian.
A charter school must make the same annual reports as other public schools, including an annual financial audit and monthly budget report. Additionally, the charter school must participate in the statewide testing programs. Charter schools submit all reports to the Utah State Board of Education.
Yes. In the State of Utah, by law all public schools granting high school credit are required to be accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools.
On the whole, charter schools are funded much like traditional districts with taxpayer dollars. Charter schools are funded on the principle that state funds follow the student. The legislature appropriates funds each year to replace some of the local property tax revenues that are not available to charter schools. Charter schools may also apply for state and federal start-up funds and specialized funds if qualifying students are served in approved programs.
A charter school may not charge tuition or require students or parents to make donations and is subject to the same rules regarding school fees as other public schools.
A charter is a contract between a charter school and the State Board, setting forth the conditions under which the school will operate. The charter should include detailed information about the school, including at a minimum:
If a current public school is to be used, plans relating to the accommodation of current students and employees who do not want to participate in the charter school
A charter is valid until revoked or according to the terms set forth in the district issued charter.
Charter schools have their own governing boards and most operate independently of local school districts. The Utah State Board of Education and the State Charter School Board have oversight responsibility for charter schools and annually review the progress of every charter school.

It's been an interesting week with regard to energy politics, both statewide and national, and their potential effect on Colorado's energy industry. In the President's State of the Union address, energy issues received short shrift with the exception of a push for the adoption of an energy bill which is anything but an energy policy. Locally, the Bureau of Land Management, the biggest division within the Department of Interior, announced and then suspended a geothermal resource lease auction slated for the Chalk Cliffs area in the Arkansas River valley north of Salida. The state Senate Minority Leader, Republican Josh Penry, issued a peevish statement that chided the Colorado Oil & Gas Association for allowing a Democrat, gubernatorial candidate Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, to address a reception honoring their incoming president.
President Obama's passing mention of "building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in this country" belies his 10 year federal budget proposal which doesn't mention nuclear power plant construction at all. His statement that energy policy "means making tough decisions on opening new offshore areas for oil and gas development..." doesn't jive with the decision made by Secretary of Interior, Ken Salazar from Colorado, to "go slow" and "conduct extensive reviews and thorough examinations" of ALL oil and gas leasing proposals...onshore or offshore. Such policies have already resulted in the canceling of previously issued leases in western Colorado and eastern Utah. Such "extensive reviews" of offshore leasing under the new "guidelines" will virtually assure that no lease auctions will be held in the foreseeable future. New restrictions and regulations placed on oil shale leasing in western Colorado have negatively impacted research and development of this resource that rivals or even exceeds the reserve potential of all the Mid-east oil producing nations combined.
This "go slow" and "extensive review..." process also seems to be affecting another source of clean, renewable energy...geothermal. The BLM recently announced a lease auction for geothermal resource rights in the Chalk Creek area on the western side of the Arkansas River valley near Mt. Princeton in central Colorado. Only a week later, following protests by surface owners, mostly hot springs resort operators in the area, the agency withdrew the offered parcels. The protesters indicated fears that their surface hot springs, and livlihoods, would be negatively impacted by any deep drilling and processing of geothermal waters used to generate electrical power via steam turbines. No announcement was made on when, if ever, a lease auction would be conducted. The area is under "extensive review and evaluation."
And, finally, Josh Penry, the Grand Junction Republican who has been a strong advocate for the state's oil and gas industry, issued a statement admonishing the Colorado Oil & Gas Association for inviting Democratic John Hickenlooper, Denver Mayor and candidate for Governor, to address their group. Penry stated, "(Hickenlooper) is no friend of the oil & gas industry..." and went on to say that Hickenlooper supported the newly adopted rules and regulations on the state's oil and gas industry. Republican candidate, Scott McInnis was invited to address the group but declined.
For the most part, Hickenlooper, a geologist who spent considerable time working in the oil and gas industry in Denver before being laid off in one of the periodic industry downturns, has been mostly silent on the new oil and gas regulations. The rules were adopted, over fierce industry opposition, at the behest of lame duck Governor Bill Ritter and the Democrat controlled state assembly. Without question, Hickenlooper would bring a far stronger business and experience background to the Governor's office than Ritter...or for that matter, Republican candidate Scott McInnis. While certainly supporting Colorado's push for "new" energy technology and jobs, Hickenlooper would most likely support a more balanced approach inclusive of the oil and gas industry than Ritter. Hickenlooper has enjoyed a considerable amount of support from Denver based oil and gas operators in his mayoral campaigns.

Ive been sent several review decks of guidance cards to accompany vibrational essences. This is an enjoyable way of working with essences and you can either buy commercial sets or make your own.
Ive been making and using essences for many years and Im always impressed by how powerful they can be for something so seemingly insubstantial. You really are working with the pure energy of the plant, gem or place. By combining guidance cards with matching essences you take the holistic experience one step further. Now you can choose a card, read the guidance, contemplate it and then take the essence to bring that wisdom into your energy system.
The most famous and widely used set of flower essences worldwide must be the Bach Flower Remedies. These remedies made by Dr Edward Bach last century marked the modern resurgence of essence making. There are several makers of these essences today who use the same procedures as Dr Bach.
As Bach Essences are very accessible and many people have some at home I conducted a search and requested a set of cards from Creature Comforters here in the UK. They produce Bach Flower Essences and have created matching Bach Divination Cards. I chose them as the most attractively illustrated cards I could find. You can view all the cards and read up on the essences on their site.
These are sweet little cards. Their size is both a strength and a weakness; they are highly portable, but some of the script is quite small. The flowers are all very clearly and attractively photographed on the front of the card with the name of the Remedy followed by the positive and negative associations for each. The backs are pretty, reminding me in style of the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady. They have a clear keyword and a couple of apt quotations, plus the Latin name of the plant.
I drew Water Violet. This is one of Bachs Twelve Healers which are key essences for transforming our being at the core. These work at the level of archetypal reality. This was interesting as I dont own all the Bach Remedies, but I have identified with Water Violet previously and still have a partly used bottle in my collection. The negative associations are given on the card as: Isolated/ Detached/ Grief/ Aloof/ Independent/ (unable to communicate freely) The positive are: Connected/ Warmth/ Communicative
By taking the essence the aim is to transform negative traits into positive ones. Ive worked on my own natural tendencies over the years, but I acknowledge I need a bit of solitude every day to stay peaceful and I get irritable if I cant spend time alone, so I am very much a Water Violet type! On the reverse the keyword is Connection along with Peace begins with a smile Mother Theresa and The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keep out the joy Jim Rohn. Drawing this card I was moved to look at what Bach wrote about this flower. I did, needless to say, take Water Violet essence too!
Ive also been working with The Ascension Oracle Cards by Natalia M Schotte and taking some of her essences. I was sent these full colour photographic flower cards, the accompanying guide book and a couple of sample essences. The complete set of flower essences is available to purchase. Today I picked Magnetism Clematis Dr Ruppel which has a close up of the beautifully complex stamens at the centre of the flower and the surrounding purple petals filling the background.
The reading is timely for me as it focuses on fulfilling your Soul Contract. I was only reminding myself of Caroline Myss work on Sacred Contracts last night as preparation for a workshop on Archetypes that Ill be delivering. The guidance goes on to differentiate between the Soul and the Ego in higher and lower levels of manifestation, explaining that when intention is fully aligned with the Soul it magnetises whatever is needed for a Soul Contract to be fulfilled, whereas Ego-based desires attract. This is a subtle distinction to grasp and the full message is worthy of further contemplation. All the guidance is of a similar level; great if you are ready for it, but it might confuse those who need more basic messages. The cards are on glossy stock, which was my only issue with them. They took some working in to get them to shuffle cleanly apart and fan out smoothly. Now that Ive used them for a while they are fine.
Creating matching essence and card decks seems to be an idea that is in the Ether at the moment. I notice that my colleague Mike Eastwood is now making gem essences to accompany his Crystal Oversoul Cards, so if you resonate with one or more of his cards and want to integrate the energies you may be interested in taking a look.
How about making your own set of cards and essences? Making flower or gem essences is not difficult and I explain the basic procedures in my article How to Make Flower Essences. Choose crystals or flowers that attract your attention (be careful that any gems used are non toxic and not water soluble). When you make each essence take the time to photograph the flower or gem too. Then as you try out your essences you can note your impressions and collect keywords to add to a card, or meditate on the essence and write down any guidance in a journal. Paste your photos and keywords onto a piece of card, or print them out on paper and laminate to create your card. With a bit of time and patience youll have created your own personalised set of essences and cards!

Quilting is my new found love. I was introduced to it by my daughter-in-law who is a quilter. I have a stressful job, and quilting helps me to relax. I am fortunate to be involved in a family business which had a room to spare in the office building. I was allowed to set up my quilting room there. Quite a blessing...so when I get a break, I sew!

Minutemen will also promote Breast Cancer Awareness on Saturday.
Oct. 9, 2013
It's the ever-popular Band Day on Saturday at Gillette Stadium as part of what will be an exciting afternoon with UMass hosting Miami University (3 PM). Both teams will be looking for their first wins of the season in a game televised on ESPN3. Halftime of the game will feature the UMass Marching Band along with high school bands from around New England performing for the fans.
The game will be televised live on ESPN3 and via the WatchESPN app with Bob Picozzi calling the action and former Delaware head coach KC Keeler providing color commentary.
The UMass Sports Network will have Cody Chrusciel handling play-by-play duties alongside analyst Matt Goldstein, sideline reporter Adam Giardino and in-game host Adam Frenier. The game can be heard live starting at 2:40 PM (EST) on 105.5 FM WEEI (Springfield), 1440 AM WVEI (Worcester) and 95.9 FM WATD (South Shore). The broadcast is also available online through www.UMassAthletics.com and on smart phones and tablets through the TuneIn app.
UMass and Miami meet for the second time in program history. The Redhawks won 27-16 last year in Oxford thanks to a four touchdown performance from Zac Dysert (three passing, one rushing). UMass was led by Michael Cox's career-best 188 yards rushing which was highlighted by the "Dorchester Flip" where he flipped head first over a Miami defender for a touchdown that was featured as one of SportsCenter's Top-10 Plays of the Day.
The Minutemen are coming off a tough 28-7 loss at Bowling Green. Jamal Wilson led UMass with 119 yards rushing - UMass' first 100-yard rushing performance since Cox's effort last year at Miami. UMass and BGSU played a tight defensive battle in the first quarter as both teams had difficulty moving the ball. The Falcons managed to score twice late in the second quarter and added two more touchdowns in the third quarter. Mike Wegzyn led UMass on a 10-play, 71 yard scoring drive in the fourth quarter capped with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Tajae Sharpe - his third TD catch of the year.
Saturday's game will be one of four home games for UMass in the next six weeks. After going to Buffalo next weekend, the Minutemen will return home to face Western Michigan, Northern Illinois and then Akron after a bye week on Nov. 9.
Saturday's game will also honor Breast Cancer Awareness month with the Minutemen wearing special pink UMass helmet decals along with pink uniform accessories. UMass will also continue its season-long tradition of honoring the specific colleges which make up the University.
Oct. 12 College of Natural Sciences/Fine Arts Center/College of Humanities & Fine Arts
Nov. 2 College of Social And Behavioral Sciences/UMass Libraries
Nov. 16 College of Education/College of Nursing/School of Public Health & Health Sciences

Multiple rounds of snow, windy conditions, and dangerously cold temperatures are the main weather headlines over the next several days as a cold and snowy weather pattern remains locked in neutral over the region. This persistent weather pattern has resulted in record snows in Detroit. As of this morning, Detroit recorded its snowiest January on record with 31.3". Chicago has recorded its 5th snowiest winter since 2000 with 44.9". Below is a list of the top 5 snowiest winters since 2000 in Chicago:
- 2007-2008 60.3"
- 2010-2011 57.9"
- 2009-2010 54.2"
- 2008-2009 52.7"
- 2013-2014 44.9"
Not only has it been a snowy winter season, but a downright COLD one. To date, Chicago has had 13 days with temperatures below zero. That's the most since the 1993-1994 winter season that had 17 days with temperatures below zero. We haven't broken any records with the snow or cold yet, but stay tuned!
Another shot of Arctic air is expected to spill into the region late Sunday through Wednesday. Temperatures during this period is forecasted to be below zero with winds chills as low as -45F. Preceding this Arctic airmass will be multiple rounds of accumulating snow tonight and Sunday. Anywhere from 2-4" is expected by Sunday evening.

While the Harris County Commissioners Court has yet to make a recommendation for the future of the Astrodome, we thought we would share some images from construction and architectural drawings of Houston's most famous landmark.
Columbia University's Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation created this site for their project Housing the Spectacle, The Emergence of America's Domed Superstadiums 1965 – 1992. They track the growth of so-called "Superstadiums" in the second half of 20th century America, and the people whose personalities shaped them. The Astrodome is included in case studies of other domes including the 1970 U.S. Pavilion at Expo 70 in Osaka, the 1981 Minneapolis Metrodome, the 1988 Seoul Olympic Fencing and Gymnastics Arenas, and the 1992 Georgia Dome.
Many of these images capture the immensity of the Astrodome that cannot be fully measured by merely standing on the outside.

The Harrington Police Department is searching for an unidentified black male involved with an armed robbery that occurred at the Dollar General located in the Midway Shopping Center in Harrington.
The suspect is an unidentified black male in his late teens or early 20s, approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighs between 170 to 180 pounds, said police department spokesman Lt. Earl Brode. The suspect was last seen wearing a white hat, white sunglasses, a dark-colored shirt with paint on it, tan pants and sneakers.
Around 3 p.m. July 20, patrol officers responded to the Dollar General for a robbery in progress, Brode said. During the investigation, officers determined that the suspect displayed a black handgun after entering the store and demanded cash and cell phones from all patrons present. After obtaining the items, the suspect fled the store on foot toward South DuPont Highway.

Live in the moment
But know it will not last
And when the scales fall
Your future will meet your past
~ Ijay
I made a lot of bad decisions in 2012, from small ones to big ones. But the thing about mistakes is to learn from them. I'm making brand new good decisions this year. Making major life changes in the little and big things. I'm my very own Picasso, painting my OWN self-portrait. One of these decisions is the common sense to wear a hat. I'm sure everyone thinks it's trend....*looks away* Sadly, now some of them will know the truth. With my weave, my hair is out in the side part and with this unpredictable Dundee weather, when I leave home, my hair is straight and blending with the weave but once I return I have an afro. The ugly bit is the fact that the weave is still wavy and curled but there's a bunched up MESS is the part. Horrible. Not a good look for a *ahem* Master's Student. So in the spirit of good decisions, I almost always wear hat to hide the texture variation. In one hour in Dundee, it's wamr and bright, rainy, then snowing and then hail starts to attack. My Naps canNOT deal and I will not subject her to this torture.
Yes I went into the store and bought every colour of hat I saw. I love the French Look!

Not sure when I'll be ready to rock my fro. Maybe when the weather isn't PMS-ing!
Le Twin is now in Aberdeen and since the train passes almost right by my room, let's just say NOTHING can keep us apart. LOOOL! Yes it is the first time we are not in the same city for a period longer than 3 months (My exchange in 2009)
Peace, Love and Success!
Yours Truantly,
