I hope that I shall never see, a road that takes away a tree.
A road whose blacktop mouth is pressed upon the greenery laid to rest.
A road that stares at sun all day, and knows the trees have gone away.
A road that steals away the trace of former beauty filled with grace.
For what well get well rue the day that loveliness has gone away.
The road might move cars in a breeze but at the cost of countless trees.
With apologies to Joyce Kilmer.
Bill Hayes

PS Vita Slim pre-orders open tomorrow
It seems that the PS Vita Slim will be arriving on our shores soon and retailers will soon start taking pre-orders for it.
According to a mass email from ShopTo.net the PS Vita Slim, which has already been released in Japan will be available to pre-order from tomorrow, January 30th.
The PS Vita Slim is 20 percent slimmer and 15 percent lighter than the launch models. It has dropped the OLED screen in favour of an LCD and boasts about an extra hour of battery life.
It also has 1GB of internal memory and has ditched the proprietary USB/charging connection in favour of a microUSB type B port. It was released in Japan in six colours (white, brown, pink, yellow, gray and black) although it's not clear how many of these colours will make it over here.

Nice, nice work!
thank you
Gorgeous!! Is it paper pieced?
The compass was. The rest was not. :)
this is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful quilt. You did an awesome job.
Thank You :)
Beautiful. Love the Mariners Compass. Very nicely done, the colours play well together and compliment each other. Great job, well done.
Thank you :)
You really did an awesome job on this quilt! The colors really please my eyes and your work is precision! I hope you will accept the compliments because you work very hard on this "hard" quilt. I don't want to offend you, but I would rather hear you say something like quilt was hard but it brings such joy and sense of accomplishment. The rewards are great. You can share that with everyone who attempts this quilt. Including me! Will you cheer me on? I have a special antique nautical 2 twin bedroom set that I inherited from my grandma. I want to make 2 quilts. One for each bed and then have my son who is a Coast Guard Port Security man deployed to Kuwait twice. This quilt and bedrooms set will be a tribute to his service. God Bless our men and women so far from home.
That would be wonderful. He will love it. It's wonderful to pass on history and love. Thank you for your nice compliments. I will say this...I was glad to have done this quilt. It made me a better quilter...I think. Most of it went along pretty good. There was a lot of paper piecing in it. I liked that part. The little triangles was the hardest part.

The Houston region will feel the heat during the next couple of days as temperatures rise into the mid-90s,and the heat index climbs as high as 105 degrees.
At the same time a low pressure system in the upper levels of the atmosphere will be moving in from the east, bringing moisture and, combined with the sea breeze, should bring at least a decent chance of rain showers this afternoon. Areas that see storms this afternoon will, of course, see a welcome cool down.
Rain chances this afternoon will be best along the coast and for areas just inland, say forecasters with the National Weather Service.
It still appears as though the cold air mass moving into the central United States this week will stall out before pushing into Houston. However, moisture moving ahead of the boundary could provide the impetus for some pretty good rain chances by Wednesday and Thursday.
I hope we get some rain either today or during the middle of the week, because after the mid-week system, it looks like we're going to dry out and heat up for awhile.

ShoNuff215This is a very good recipe for chocolate cheesecake, especially for those who want to cut out the "bad stuff" in their desserts. I slightly changed the recipe. Instead of low fat cream cheese, I used neufchatel cheese (33% lower fat than regular) found in all supermarkets. Secondly, I was really ignorant to the ingredient, "smart sugar", so I used Splenda Sugar Blend (a mix of Splenda and sugar. It doesn't have that slightly annoying aftertaste.). Outside of changing the ingredients, I kept to the instructions (which were concise). It's light, creamy, and "chocolatey", yet rich enough to be satisfied with a just a slice after dinner (no binge eating). All in all, I would make this again, for any occasion.6y ago

Office Space
- Directed by Mike Judge
===Story=== Ever spend eight hours in a "Productivity Bin"? Ever had worries about layoffs? Ever had the urge to demolish a temperamental printer or fax machine? Ever had to endure a smarmy, condescending boss? Then ''Office Space'' should hit pretty close to home for you. Peter (Ron Livingston) spends the day doing stupefyingly dull computer work in a cubicle. He goes home to an apartment sparsely furnished by IKEA and Target, then starts for a maddening commute to work again in the morning. His coworkers in the cube farm are an annoying lot, his boss is a snide, patronizing jerk, and his days are consumed with tedium. In desperation, he turns to career hypnotherapy, but when his hypno-induced relaxation takes hold, there's no shutting it off. Layoffs are in the air at his corporation, and with two coworkers (both of whom are slated for the chute) he devises a scheme to skim funds from company accounts. The scheme soon snowballs, however, throwing the three into a panic until the unexpected happens and saves the day. Director Mike Judge has come up with a spot-on look at work in corporate America circa 1999. With well-drawn characters and situations instantly familiar to the white-collar milieu, he captures the joylessness of many a cube denizen's work life to a ''T''. Jennifer Aniston plays Peter's love interest, a waitress at Chotchkie's, a generic beer-and-burger joint à la Chili's, and Diedrich Bader (''The Drew Carey Show'') has a minor but hilarious turn as Peter's mustached, long-haired, drywall-installin' neighbor. ''--Jerry Renshaw'' ===DVD Features=== *Available subtitles: English, Spanish *Out of the Office: An Office Space retrospective with Mike Judge *Deleted scenes: Peter Lies to Lumbergh, Happy Hour and Chotchkies, Peter Goes off on Nina, & Tom's Mixed Heritage Called into Question *Theatrical trailer *DVD-ROM audio

Product placement happens so frequently and so blatantly these days that even casual moviegoers have come to expect any given blockbuster is going to be filled with covert (or not-so-covert, in some cases) advertising. That in turn begs the question, what companies are the biggest offenders when it comes to product placement?
For the answer we turn to Brandchannel, a group that obsessively scours everything out of Hollywood and keeps a running tab of which companies are advertising in what films and how often. And just like every other aspect of the film industry, every year they reflect back on the prior year's films and give out awards. Only taking home a Brandcameo, which offers statues in categories like Worst Product Placement and Best Role in a Supporting Product Placement, isn't quite the same honor as taking home an Oscar.
Apple took home the top prize of the night, the 2010 Brandcameo Award for Overall Product Placement, for managing to squeeze its products -- be they iPods, iPads or iMacs -- into approximately 30 percent of the no. 1 films at the 2010 box office. Unsurprisingly, this is the second year in a row that Apple has laid claim to the dubious honor.
Hop below for the full list of the 2010 Brandcameo Award Winners.
Overall Product Placement: Apple
Achievement in Product Placement in a Single Film: 'Iron Man 2' with 64 placements
Worst Product Placement: 'Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps'
Product Placement Achievement in an Oscar-Nominated Film: 'The Fighter' (Budweiser)

There really is no good reason for Bob Dylan to show up for work these days. His reputation is secure. His songs occupy their own wing in the pop-culture archive. He's the rare legend who doesn't have to go out and earn any new respect - as evidenced by the gazillion "how Bob changed my life" testimonials flooding the Internet in the wake of his 70th birthday last week.

1782 - 1855
George Carrington of Missenden Abbey Buckinghamshire claimed the compensation for the Carringtons and Chapel estates in Barbados, but then ceded to the trustees of his marriage settlement with Anna Maria Parris, dated 16/08/1809. Despite the name of the estate, it appears that Carringtons was held by Anna Maria Parris' family.
In 1841 George Carrington aged 60 was living at the Abbey Great Missenden with George 30, Edward 20, Maria 20 and Elizabeth 25. In 1851 he was shown there aged 'above 50', Magistrate and farmer employing 20 labourers born Dorsetshire, with son George aged 39 born Barbados. A George Carrington, son of George and Elizabeth Carrington, was baptised at St John Zachary London 10/07/1782, born 19/06/1782.
Will of George Carrington of Missenden Abbey proved 23/01/1856. The George Carrington of Missenden Abbey who died 08/07/1862 leaving £18,000 (resworn Oct. 1866 under £16,000) was presumably the son.
Paul Carrington Parris, son of David Parris, matriculated Christ Church Oxford 21/10/1808 aged 19.
The 'Carrington Quartos' [see Cultural Legacies] sold by George Carrington of Great Missenden in 1905 were said to have been acquired by a great-uncle a century before. George Carrington (1856-1916), presumably the seller, was the grandson of the George Carrington of the award. His great-uncle, the acquiror has yet to be identified.

Home is where the hands are.
Cornerback Keenan Lewis ranked among the league leaders in pass breakups last season with the Pittsburgh Steelers with 23 knockdowns in his first season as a full-time starter. Interceptions eluded Lewis, though, as he ended 2012 with zero. Lewis amassed a grand total of one interception during his four seasons in with the Steelers.
The Algiers native signed a five-year deal that can max out at $26 million with the New Orleans Saints to return to play for his childhood team. Now all of a sudden, Lewis has discovered a knack for intercepting passes.
Lewis entered Week 9 tied for eighth in the NFL with three interceptions with seven others tied for first with four picks. Coincidence?
Safety Malcolm Jenkins thought not.
"He comes home and he's catching them now," Jenkins said. "That's the crazy thing. He's held up and held his own. Now he's not only breaking them up, but he's coming down with interceptions. That's huge.
"He's really having a solid year and his production has been helping us win. That makes us so much better having a corner like that to go out there and take away the deep ball, keep things in front of us and make teams earn it."
Predictably, Lewis tried to debunk the theory.
"My hands are superb," Lewis said. "Now I have hands. That's one thing I do have. ...
"They judge me off of last year because last year we didn't really run no zone so a lot of those chances on receivers, I had to try to be Superman. But these times, when you have a front seven like we have, I can usually sit in my zone and get a break."
Regardless of how or why he's discovered a knack for intercepting passes, Lewis has become one of better free-agent pickups of the 2013 offseason and has been an important cog in the Saints' drastic turnaround on defense.
Opposing passers have the third-lowest quarterback rating in the league when throwing at Lewis with a 39.9 rating among cornerbacks playing at least 50 percent of their team's defensive snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. Lewis ranks ahead of big-name cornerbacks such as Seattle's Richard Sherman (53.6), Tampa Bay's Darrelle Revis (56.8) and Arizona's Patrick Peterson (66.4).
Quarterbacks have targeted Lewis 36 times in 2013, but Lewis has only yielded 18 receptions for 187 yards with one touchdown along with his three interceptions.
Lewis told reporters earlier in the week he's striving for eight interceptions this season. He slightly backtracked by Wednesday saying he might be able to "squeeze off about seven" because "seven is a lot more realistic." Lewis also made no hesitation in pointing out why he's found the fountain of interceptions.
"Definitely when you have a front seven like that, especially when you bring in our nickel packages, guys come in and rush on the end like they do and putting pressure on the quarterback, it makes it that much easier on the back end," Lewis said.
Coach Sean Payton said Lewis has handled the team's coverage schemes well. He also said Lewis has been assigned to certain receivers at times because of his cover skills.
Lewis' size was one of the first positive attributes Payton pointed to when describing Lewis. At 6 feet 1 and 208 pounds, Lewis is part of a growing trend among teams searching for taller, bigger cornerbacks to combat big, athletic receivers.
Payton said the Saints targeted two big corners in free agency -- Lewis and current Chargers cornerback Derek Cox -- considering receivers in the NFC South such as Atlanta's Julio Jones and Roddy White, along with Tampa Bay's Vincent Jackson.
"Especially when teams almost have 7-foot wide receivers all across the board on every team," Lewis said. "So you want to get some of those guys that can match up with them. So I guess that's why they're going after taller corners. I'm all right; I'm 6 feet, 6-1."
Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith might want to think twice about throwing in Lewis' direction Sunday. Smith has thrown 13 interceptions, third most in the league.
"He always had talent; big, long-body guy," Jets coach Rex Ryan said of Lewis. "He does a great job of, when you look at corners, can he find the football? Can he catch it? He can do both. The system, the aggressive thing, I thought he was a good player in Pittsburgh and obviously he is doing a great job there in New Orleans."
Despite his solid play the past two years, Lewis said he doesn't anticipate quarterbacks straying from his side of the field.
"You see all of the deep balls, the majority of them are at who? Me," Lewis said. "They're going to keep coming. That's the league."

Haha, wait, what? Do you have worms? Or do you think you have worms? If so, I would seek MEDICAL attention FIRST before, you know, you stop eating for OVER A MONTH! ...Our body is an AMAZING entity. Each organ is an amazing thing in itself... Like, for instance, the LIVER, which detoxes and cleanses the body (when you allow it to functional correctly, of course.) I would totally NOT advise going to the extreme you presented.
On a side note, I love intermittent fasting not just for the short and HEALTHY break from digestion, but it also is incredibly convenient and helps differentiate between hunger and cravings. Plus, there are so many ways to do it. Just... Probably not a good idea to do it for the rest of the summer. Be safe! :-)

Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I ordered my street size and they are way too big. Even tried adding socks! I do have a more narrow foot but, I wear medium width in other shoes. There was no packing slip or information on how to return them so I had to contact customer service. On the return slip there are all kinds of instructions on how they must be tried on (on a towel, etc) but, those instructions didn't come with the shoes. Good thing I did that anyway in order to not scuff the bottoms. I really wish they had worked as they are very stylish shoes.
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Love this shoe, but they run very small! I normally wear a size 7 but in this shoe I had to order a size 8!
Took other reviewers advice and ordered half size smaller - wrong. I had to return for my regular size. I find they run true to size, however a bit wide.
I wanted something for practice in the summer months and this just fit the bill. They are confortable and stylist. I read past reviews and decided since most reviews said this shoe runs large to get one size smaller. Not so. I had to return them for an exchange and decided to go with 1/2 size smaller. Hope it works because I really like these shoes! I would recommend this shoe.
I love these shoes they are extremely comfortable but they run very large. I'm a size 10 normally so i ordered a 9 1/2, much to my surprise they were to big.... I usually order my smooth shoes a 1/2 -1 size smaller I thought it would be comparable here as well... i was wrong. BUT I DO LOVE THEM once i got the right size.

: I am modifying a C-Kermit script I have to not continue processing
: if a call to another script does not return a value of 1 (We are doing
: this for fail over testing).
: Here is the C-Kermit code in question:
: # run the db_status script in the CRON directory
: run db_status
: # See if the ret value is != 1
: # If it != 1 tell user we are not on the primay server and then
: exit).
: if != \v(pexitstat) 1
: {
: echo Return code != 1 ... Not the primary server
: echo return code = \v(pexitstat)
: exit
: }
: # otherwise we are on the primary server so continue processing
: ...
: ...
: ...
: When I run this on the Secondary server it works (since the result
: returned from the db_status script is a 2 since it is not the primary
: server).
: However, when I test this on the primay server the code exits (meaning
: it executes the body of the if statment above) despite the fact that
: the return code from db_status is 1.
: Any suggestions, as to what I'm doing wrong?
My first suggestion is to use the recommended format for grouping statements:
if != \v(pexitstat) 1 {
echo Return code != 1 ... Not the primary server
echo return code = \v(pexitstat)
If that doesn't help, then check to see what the subprocess actually
returns as its exit code (OK, you say it is 1 but...). If so, then make sure
you are running the current version of C-Kermit, which is 8.0.211. If you
are, then we're in for some debugging; contact email@example.com.

Potchefstroom: New Zealand have made a remarkable comeback in the ODI series by defeating South Africa to take an unassailable 2-0 lead after they were whitewashed 0-2 in the Tests. Though the series is already sealed, both teams have something to play for in the final match at Potchefstroom.
While New Zealand are looking to become the first team to whitewash South Africa in ODIs on home soil, the hosts will look to avert an embarrassment and gain momentum for the Pakistan series.
South Africa are marred by the absence of many of their key players - Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis and AB de Villiers -which has weakened their batting substantially. Amla is suffering from a thigh strain while de Villiers is serving a two-match ban due to a slow over-rate in the first ODI. Mitchell McClenaghan, who was making his ODI debut, and James Franklin stunned South Africa in the first match by pulling off a thrilling one-wicket victory. McClenaghan snapped up four wickets while Franklin cracked an unbeaten 47 to take his team home.
Kane Williamson blasted an unbeaten 145 in the second match and the visitors displayed a sparkling fielding effort to beat South Africa by 27 runs in the second ODI. Despite winning the first two games, New Zealand have a problem to address as their top order collapsed in both the matches. Martin Guptill was out for a duck in both matches while Brendon McCullum too has failed to contribute anything of note. BJ Watling scored 45 in the second ODI to give some respite to the Kiwis but their batting at present relies mostly on Williamson who has looked their best batsman so far in the series. He also chalked up four wickets in the first match.
South Afica would hope Graeme Smith and Faf du Plessis come good. Quinton de Kock is an exciting wicketkeeper-batsman but still wet behind the ears and need to acclimatise to the rigours of international cricket. Colin Ingram and David Miller are talented but yet to show their mettle.
New Zealand's bowling attack has proved more effective than South Africa in this series. McClenaghan and Kyle Mills form a good fast-bowling pair while Franklin was handy in the middle overs. Williamson and Nathan McCullum are decent offspinners capable of stemming the run flow. South Africa missed Dale Steyn in the second match and though Morne Morkel snaffled three wickets, he leaked a lot of runs. Ryan McLaren picked up four wickets in the match but sprayed the ball around in the second match. Lonwabo Tsotsobe has looked most consistent among all their bowlers.
The pitch at Senwes Park is a belter and the team batting second has won the four out of the last five matches played on this ground.
Probable XIs
South Africa: 1 Graeme Smith, 2 Quinton de Kock (wk), 3 Dean Elgar, 4 Colin Ingram, 5 Farhaan Behardien, 6 Faf du Plessis (capt), 7 Ryan McLaren, 8 Rory Kleinveldt, 9 Aaron Phangiso, 10 Morne Morkel, 11 Lonwabo Tsotsobe
New Zealand: 1 Martin Guptill, 2 BJ Watling, 3 Kane Williamson, 4 Brendon McCullum (capt/wk), 5 Grant Elliott, 6 Colin Munto, 7 James Franklin, 8 Trent Boult, 9 Nathan McCullum, 10 Kyle Mills, 11 Mitchell McClenaghan

Actually, I think it may be useful to restate this a little more precisely: designators have *transitive* consequences, while data is immediate. If data is passed, the recipient either gets the data or doesn't get the data. If descriptors are passed, the recipient gets the transitive closure of state reachable by combining the new descriptor with any descriptors that they already hold. My dissertation devoted a chapter to modeling this, but the reader's digest synopsis is that transitive consequences are much more subtle than they appear. Jonathan

STEVE: He is there at 3 in the morning, but he is too busy tweeting to answer any call. The end of the election is now in sight. Some among the anti-Hillary brigades have decided, in deference to their exquisite sensibilities, to stay at home on Election Day, rather than vote for Mrs. Clinton. But most Americans will soon make their choice. It will be either Mr. Trump or Mrs. Clinton—experienced, forward-looking, indomitably determined and eminently sane. Her election alone is what stands between the American nation and the reign of the most unstable, proudly uninformed, psychologically unfit president ever to enter the White House. 4 battleground polls from today (all conducted after the debate): FL: Clinton +4 MI: Clinton +7 NV: Clinton +6 NH: Clinton +7

A couple of months ago I wrote about two religions that use marketing (here and here) and I used the de facto terminology for describing religions' marketing strategies, "retention" and "recruitment." These words reveal an assumption we make when religions use marketing. They are either convincing members to remain connected to and active within their religious communities (retention) or influencing unaffiliated people to join (recruitment).
And we don't use "retention" and "recruitment" to describe non-religion brands' marketing efforts. Traditional brands (1) create ads for "awareness" and "acquisition" goals (2). They inform a person of a product's existence (awareness) or compel him or her to purchase it (acquisition). From a widely recognized beverage brand like Coca-Cola to an unknown tech startup to a nonprofit with an average level of recognition, these terms are used almost universally. Religion is the exception.
The different words we use reflect a view that religion is authoritarian. Both "retention" and "recruitment" describe a relationship with a clear power dynamic where the religion marketer exerts power over members and non-members to "retain" or "recruit" them. In contrast, the customer is the beneficiary in a non-religion marketing relationship. The customer gains knowledge through "awareness" or product through "acquisition." Our speech attributes more unscrupulousness to religions than giant corporations with marketing budgets in the billions, even though many reliable surveys reveal that Americans trust clergy more than advertising and marketing professionals (3). Perhaps the inconsistency between how we talk and what we think is the result of a strategic campaign the industry ran to improve a profit-driven image, whereas the language for religion remains honest and true to marketing's goals. As a marketing professional, it sounds like the job for a good PR team.
(1) For lack of a better term, I use "traditional" to describe a brand that is not a religion. Feel free to reach out to me with a better term.
(2) From my research and conversations, albeit limited, I have found the retention/recruitment and awareness/acquisition divide to be somewhat consistently applied in the product and religious marketing spheres.

Mayor Alan Arakawa's decision to not raise the cap of a dozen hostess bars allowed on Maui was a sound one.
According to a story in Monday's Maui News, the mayor signed off on administrative rules keeping the cap in place. In March, the Liquor Control Commission voted to do away with the ceiling.
The mayor has the last word on administrative rules and he decided keeping the cap in place was the right decision. We agree.
A spokesman for Arakawa said 10 to 12 letters had been received by the administration protesting the lifting of the cap. None had been received supporting eliminating the cap.
Arakawa had expressed his opposition even before the letters were received. A spokesman simply said, "Mayor Arakawa felt that removing the hostess bar cap was not the right thing to do for the community."
Frankly, we're not certain why lifting the cap was ever considered. As far as we know there has been no clamoring that more such bars are needed in Maui County.
If, as was suggested in the story, the limited number of such licenses artificially inflates their value, then so be it - that's capitalism. Congratulations to those who have one, too bad for those who want one.
But, there is absolutely no good reason to encourage more of these establishments. And, whether intended or not, that's what lifting the cap would do.
So congratulations, mayor, on a good decision.

Study: Emerging Markets Tops in Social Media Activity
When it comes to social media, North Americans and Europeans are a bunch of 'lookey-loos' compared with users in other countries, according to a new report from Forrester.
Online adults in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe may be the most connected, with over three-quarters of them consuming social content. But of that number, over two-thirds neglect to do so much as post a social network status update or a tweet monthly. By contrast, users in places like Brazil, Mexico, India and China create a lot of content themselves. More than three quarter of users in metropolitan China and India, for example, create social media content such as a blog posts, videos, stories and updates.
None of this should come as a surprise. Users in North America and Western Europe have a longer history with social media and, if not quite suffering from Facebook fatigue, they have on the whole collectively learned not to share status updates every day. In contrast, users in countries where online access is not a given, may represent a more enthusiastic audience.
Forrester says that its findings underscore the need for companies that use social media to understand that regional differences in online behavior require different social media strategies. Recent social marketing success stories aside, companies should not expect much interaction from Western consumers. "If you're targeting users in Western markets, focus on giving them social content they can simply read or watch," Forrester writes.
Emerging markets (and some surprising Western markets) lead the world in social media adoption, while the UK and other traditionally social markets have fallen behind. If you've been putting all of your social efforts into the US and the UK, it's time to shift your focus — and your budget — to the countries where users are more social.
Forrester, which culled through 95,000 consumer surveys across 18 different countries , looked at differences within regions as well. Within Europe, Italian and Swedish online users were twice as likely as their German cousins to visit social networking sites at least monthly.
Likewise in Asia Forrester reports that a cultural preference for anonymity meant Japanese online adults were less likely to visit social networking sites. Only 28% visited social media sites on a monthly basis—one-third of the percentage who do in metropolitan China. Of that number only 13% visited Facebook, with many choosing social media sites that offer anonymity.

However, growing of the baby and nutritional load consumed from the body is not controlled by what you are eating during the pregnancy, it is controlled by what you are consuming prior to pg. So, malnutrition through numerous pg most of which did not result in childbirth may contribute, as well as the whole loosening of the muscle experience.Women were often given things like liver, particularly if they were childbearing/breastfeeding, because many primitive cultures knew that organ meats were necessary for healthy pregnancies and children. Not sure about other parts of the time, but I remember reading about how breastfeeding women in particular were encouraged to eat raw liver.
Magnolia, I believe that a significant portion of our feeding comes from what our mind says, not our body. Evolutionary we are pushed to overeat and accumulate fat because of the fear of a starvation spell. However, in our prosperous society the starvation spell and seasonal food unavailability is not a yearly or daily reality. So, the overeating pattern is not applicable to the modern society of plenty. From the basic chemistry we also respond to stress by seeking chemicals in foods (though there are people who respond to food by stopping to eat, but I have known maybe 2 or 3 such individuals, while many more ate in response to stressors).I saw an article once on body fat %'s and the actresses noted at 20% or below had trainers and strict diets. I think if we eat and move in accordance with what our body says, it will lead use to a higher body fat % than is "aesthetic" in a modern society where even those with low body fats are airbrushed. We'd probably look like the tribal women.
What comes from the modern society is intolerance of even minor discomfort discomfort, the entitlement to instant gratification, the over-abandonment of food (and, here in NA of unbelievably cheap food).
Hence, strict regimen, trainers, or awareness of when your body is talking and when your mind is talking. I believe that if we interpret hunger signals correctly, eat accordingly and move copiously avoiding boredom, a leaner body will assert itself as more natural than a plump one.

text: Associating with unrepentant sinners (e.g., ministering to inmates, feeding the homeless, working as a counselor, etc.) requires a great deal of fortitude and constant renewal. The "nuns on the bus" strike me as an example of good people who are sometimes pulled away from the anchor of Truth by association with unrepentant sinners. We need to love, but also to be careful lest we be swayed by the false teachings that the unrepentant convey, explicitly or implicitly.

You are sneaking down a corridor, being as quiet as possible, making sure that you don't step on anything or rub up against the wall. As you proceed, there are multiple doors to your left and right, some are open and you creep your head around to take a quick look. Every time you do this, your heart begins to race and your hands get sweaty. Your senses are at their peak, since you know that it is you who is being stalked and the slightest noise will bring your stalker closer to you. At the end of the corridor, you see a dark opening in the wall. It should be the perfect place to hide and give you the upper hand, if your stalker should pass your way. You're finally there and you position yourself back in its shadow to conceal your presence, the only sounds are that of the birds outside and occasional car passing by. Your sense of hearing is at its peak, the sweat beads as it falls off the tip of your nose. You are ready for anything, then BAM your back at the spawn since you were fragged again.
Sad but true, your headsets have just become unworthy and the advantage you one had is now your biggest disadvantage. When you're gaming, being able to hear and translate noises between what is common and what could be a possible threat is very important. When your headset begins to blend those noises and you can't tell the difference between a footstep and a door opening behind you, it's time for them to be replaced. Replacing your favorite, nicely worn in headsets can be a challenge since there are so many to choose from and even worse is the break in period. Over time, a headset gets looser, the ear pieces get softer and they even at times seem to feel lighter. Breaking in a new pair can be a hassle but in that time the speakers wear too and can't produce the same highs or lows they once did.
Technology advances and depending on how long you have owned your headset, you could be missing out on some innovations that may surely put you back in the game with the advantage you once possessed. Headsets come in different shapes and sizes, making it important to try them on in order to get a feel for them. Your next step should be to listen, make sure there are no crackles or buzzes, listen to music, then to a movie and experiment with the software it comes with, then crank up your favorite game and play it alone so you can hear what is meant to be heard. Only then will you be ready to translate between what is normal and what can possibly be a threat. Make sure that if you make an online purchase, without trying them out first, that the retailer has a return policy that includes items that are worn. With so many headsets to choose from, you will want to purchase from a manufacturer who is committed to quality. One of those manufacturers is Thermaltake and their TT eSPORTS line of headsets.
The TT eSPORTS Shock One Gaming Headsets by Thermaltake are TT eSPORTS premiere gaming headset solution. The Shock One headsets come with two types of earpieces for comfort, are fully collapsible and have a 10' cable. They have also added DTS Virtual Surround, a 40mm speaker driver and an in-line controller to adjust volume, lighting and the volume for its onboard noise canceling microphone. With a price tag of $89.99 USD, the TT eSports Shock One Gaming Headsets fall into the enthusiast class of gaming headsets.

Transcending Borders, the second international conference of the Immigration and Ethnic History Society, will take plat from October 31 - November 2 at New York University. The conference is free and open to the public. Registration must be received by October 10, 2003.
This conference represents an ongoing commitment to explore topics important to our understanding of migration to the United States and the diversity of the population that has resulted from its being the host to millions of newcomers throughout our history.
It has almost become a cliche to describe the current period as an age of migration, and globalism is the buzz word of the day for academics as well as journalists. However, the numbers suggest that over the past three decades the United States has once again become the destination of many millions of men and women on the move. While much scholarly attention has been focused on the pushes and pulls of migration, less has been focused on the period subsequent to migration, the period of incorporation, when immigrants become Americans. This conference is a multi-ethnic, interdisciplinary meeting of scholars to examine critical processes whereby migrants from one society find a home in another, a transformation that is significant to both donor countries and host countries. And that process of transformation has changed considerably over time. If it is true that we live in a global age that has been fashioned by new technologies of transportation and communication, then it becomes even more critical to comprehend how this new reality is affecting the incorporation of newcomers and to compare it with that of century ago, during the last great influx of immigrants.

The name has changed, but South Carolina's state-run railroad is still rolling with its long-standing mission: to help grow manufacturing and jobs in the state.
At a glance
Name: Palmetto Railways, a division of the S.C. Department of Commerce.
Top executive: Jeff McWhorter
Employees: 46
Locomotives: 10
Property: Owns 550 acres of land in the state.
Task: A full-service railway operation with services in short-haul and switching of cargo between manufacturing facilities.
The arm of the S.C. Department of Commerce recently changed its moniker to Palmetto Railways from S.C. Public Railways, a title that went back to the agency's inception in 1969.
Palmetto's growth
Carloads moved:
2010: 66,618
2011: 88,746
2012: 105,775
2013 estimate: 131,092
Top clients: 2013 carload
BP Chemical: 12,149
Nucor Steel: 53,171
Palmetto Railways
The new identity sharpens the focus of the Charleston-based agency that's in the midst of broadening its short-haul rail operations and helping reshape the waterfront in North Charleston, officials said.
State Commerce Secretary Bobby Hitt said the publicly owned rail operation plays "an essential role in the economic development of our state." The former BMW executive has stressed that the efficient movement of cargo is a competitive business advantage for South Carolina.
"Rail and all facets of intermodal transportation are important to moving goods via our port system and around the region," Hitt said.
Based in a small office off East Bay Street in Charleston, Palmetto Railways operates a rail system throughout the state. It also provides technical assistance and consulting in state and local matters, in addition to acting as a short-haul rail service for manufacturers like Nucor Steel and providing switching services for the region's two big private-sector rail carriers: Norfolk Southern and CSX.
Jeff McWhorter, president and chief executive officer of Palmetto Railways, says the new name erases "misconceptions and ambiguity" of the agency.
"People thought of us as a regulatory agency or they thought of us as a passenger rail, but we are a full-service railroad operating company," he said.
The organization owns 550 acres of property throughout the state, which includes a spur line to the Michelin Tire factory in Anderson County and the underlying real estate for a rail line to the BMW plant in Greer.
Palmetto Railways has 10 locomotives and a work force of 46 people that includes engineers, yardmasters, trainmasters and technicians.
The organization had 105,775 rail car movements last year and nearly $11.9 million in revenue. The agency is planning to beat that this year with projected growth of 24 percent in movements and 5.4 percent more revenue, he said.
"Not only has the economy improved, but we have also gone out and captured work that we have not done before," McWhorter said.
The added business includes broadening services it provides with existing clients and new projects, like the August 2012 deal to handle the unloading of Santee Cooper's coal trains.
Palmetto Railways is a self-funded state organization, which means its earnings go toward its day-to-day operations. Its list of clients include well-known corporate names like Siemens, MeadWestvaco Corp. and General Electric.
Palmetto Railways is largely known in the Lowcountry for its short-haul rail service for BP Chemical and Nucor Steel on the Cooper River in southern Berkeley County, in addition to its planned intermodal terminal at the former Navy base in North Charleston.
It also works closely with the State Ports Authority, another self-funded state transportation organization. The maritime agency accounts for roughly 22 percent of all Palmetto Railways' operations, McWhorter said.
That includes switching operations at the Port of Charleston's Columbus Street Terminal and hauling non-containerized cargo at Union Pier.
Jim Newsome, president and CEO of the SPA, said Palmetto Railways is a major piece in the productivity of the port.
"The Palmetto Railways is critical to the success of the S.C. Ports Authority as they provide switching and other support services for cargo moving via our port," Newsome said.
He also noted that the use of rail at the port is expected to grow when the SPA opens its new 280-acre container terminal on the south end of the former Navy base.
Palmetto Railways' role is to deve- lop a $130 million intermodal container transfer facility on nearby property. Its 90-acre site is expected to be served by Norfolk Southern and CSX to offer port customers a choice.
The two projects are largely tied to an anticipated increase in port business after larger container ships are able to start using the expanded Panama Canal.
The rail operator's intermodal project faced some legal setbacks when some North Charleston residents opposed the idea of more freight trains coming near their homes.
A resolution with the city was reached late last year, requiring the state agency to give the city $8 million and more than 100 acres of the waterfront land at the north end of the former base around Riverfront Park.
Palmetto Railways also agreed to complete a major transportation study aimed at improving the flow of rail and truck traffic in the city.
Earlier this month, Palmetto Railways paid $10 million for the remaining 50 acres of what was known as the Noisette property on the former Navy base.
The additional space will allow the agency to create the intermodal terminal and work with the city to develop a master plan to improve the area, officials said.
McWhorter says he sees more growth for the agency.
"I think there is growth in development of facilities and development of the base we have acquired and growth of our operations," he said.

Simulated effects of pumping irrigation wells on ground-water levels in western Saginaw County, Michigan
Water-Resources Investigations Report 2001-4227

AbstractSuccess of agriculture in many areas of Michigan relies on withdrawal of large quantities of ground water for irrigation. In some areas of the State, water-level declines associated with large ground-water withdrawals may adversely affect nearby residential wells. Residential wells in several areas of Saginaw County, in Michigan?s east-central Lower Peninsula, recently went dry shortly after irrigation of crop lands commenced; many of these wells also went dry during last year?s agricultural cycle (summer 2000). In September 2000, residential wells that had been dry returned to function after cessation of pumping from large-capacity irrigation wells. To evaluate possible effects of ground-water withdrawals from irrigation wells on residential wells, the U.S. Geological Survey used hydrogeologic data including aquifer tests, water-level records, geologic logs, and numerical models to determine whether water-level declines and the withdrawal of ground water for agricultural irrigation are related. Numerical simulations based on representative irrigation well pumping volumes and a 3-month irrigation period indicate water-level declines that range from 5.3 to 20 feet, 2.8 to 12 feet and 1.7 to 6.9 feet at distances of about 0.5, 1.5 and 3 miles from irrigation wells, respectively. Residential wells that are equipped with shallow jet pumps and that are within 0.5 miles of irrigation wells would likely experience reduced yield or loss of yield during peak periods of irrigation. The actual extent that irrigation pumping cause reduced function of residential wells, however, cannot be fully predicted on the basis of the data analyzed because many other factors may be adversely affecting the yield of residential wells.

One strength of
Windows 7 that's not always talked about, but is lurking under the
surface of many of the operating system's advancements is its
use of multiple cores. With Intel and AMD flooding the
market with multi-core
designs, the gigahertz war is dead and a new war is brewing -- a
battle for the most
cores, and the most efficient cores.
Microsoft has
enthusiastically jumped on the opportunity to utilize this power with
Windows 7. The new OS can support up to 256 cores, versus 64 in
Vista. Jon DeVaan, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows
Core Operating System Division says this change was particularly
weighty. He states, "One dimension is support for a much
larger number of processors and getting good linear scaling on that
change from 64 to 256 processors. There's all kinds of depth in
that change."
The improvements that enabled the increased
number of cores also will improve performance with standard consumer
numbers of cores -- typically 2 to 4 -- via improvements in cache and
workload balancing. Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 also features
greatly improved support for multi-threading and should allow Windows
applications makers to make more efficient Windows 7 apps that
leverage multiple cores.
Evans Data analyst Janel Garvin says
that is perhaps the most important change. He states, "An
operating system is never going to be able to take an application
that isn't already parallel and make it so. Developers still need to
multi-thread their apps. Microsoft has done surprisingly little
until recently to help developers write parallel applications, except
for their alliance with Intel to promote Parallel Studio."
continues, "However, in the last year they've made some
announcements and promises for Visual Studio 2010 about enhanced
tools for parallel programming. It's likely that the success of
Parallel Studio has impressed upon them the importance of providing
Windows developers with the tools they need to remain competitive
going into the future when manycore will be the standard."
Studio 2010 offers many improvements including Task
Parallel Library (used for performing tasks like loops
simultaneously when circumstances permit), Parallel
Language Integrated Query (PLINQ) (used for parallel data
operations), Microsoft
Concurrency Runtime (scheduling and resource management),
Agents Library (provides improved inter-thread messaging), and
finally the Parallel
Pattern Library (geared for C++ users).
Despite the vast
improvements even Mr. DeVaan acknowledges the art of exploiting
multiple cores is still evolving. He adds, "As an
industry, we're going to be working hard to make it work better and
working with broad set of developers to target (multicore
programming) without undue work. Will these approaches really
accomplish it? That's an open question."
With Microsoft's
primary competitor Apple also focusing on multi-threading with its
developer-geared Grand
Central Dispatch multitasking model built into Snow Leopard, the
ability to properly leverage multiple cores is a crucial task for
Windows 7. And it appears that the upcoming OS will be rising
to the occasion.
quote: Microsoft is ready to put the Windows Vista era behind it
quote: The new OS can support up to 256 cores, versus 64 in Vista
quote: No, that is definitely an XP problem, otherwise explain to me how Windows 2000 Advanced server could access 8GB and Windows 2000 Datacenter server could access 32GB of memory.
quote: the legions of people clinging to XP were pretty ticked off when they found out they couldn't take advantage of the 4gb of ram that their motherboards supported.
quote: I used Windows Me quite happily for three or four years
quote: If you never used Windows Me, then you're bashing an OS you never used and I have no respect for that.
quote: If you're simply comparing Windows Me to XP, then you're not smart enough to realize that Windows Me is Windows 4 (the same basic OS as Windows 95) and Windows XP is Windows 5 -- so of course Windows XP was better! ~~realize that you're an idiot.
quote: n my experience, it was not Vista that was sluggish, it was hardware companies and computer builders who assumed Vista was just XP with a coat of paint. Despite being available for about 2 months before launch, there was poor driver support.
quote: It's this not-so-subtle comparison of 7 to Vista that I can't stand. Vista isn't bad at all.
quote: Which is basically threading on our OS is horrible, and rather than fix the actual problem we created this new thing that if you squint just right works around it.
quote: LLVM first before saying OSX is deficient
quote: but as arstechnica.com has pointed out, every version of OSX is faster than the previous version, on the same hardware.
quote: I was more offended by this: quote: Microsoft is ready to put the Windows Vista era behind it

C'mon, Floyd just want to mess with MP because he wants to Pac to be like him by getting off Arum. Secondly, he will definitely be able to make his revenge against Arum. Unfortunately, Boxing is no WWE and Pac, has an IQ good enough to get away from making stupid decisions.
besides, who cares if MP doesn't earn even a dollar? I just don't know why the fight between MP and Floyd has been this technical when boxing fans are just suppose to think about the fight. Whether his earnings are all messed up or not, its not our money. Floyd is the one who has the history regarding problems with money not Pac.

Lyle Donoven
Lyle Donoven, of Lander, Wyoming, died Monday, July 7, 2014, at his home after being diagnosed with cancer in September.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Monday, July 14, at Hudson's Funeral Home in Lander.
Lyle was born July 15, 1937, in Havre, Montana, the son of Jack Loyd Donoven and Beatrice Irene (Knutson). He was raised in the Kremlin area and graduated from Kremlin High School in 1956.
Lyle married Arlene Pursley in 1956, and together they raised two sons and two daughters. They later divorced.
Lyle worked as a farmer and rancher along the Hi-Line, living in the rural communities of Kremlin, Shelby, Turner, Malta and Whitewater.
In 1979 Lyle and Jane Anich moved to Lander, Wyoming, where Lyle began work in the oil fields. For several years he owned and operated his own water supply delivery business. Instead of retiring, Lyle returned to farm and ranch life by working for farmers in the Lander area. His family said he had many friends who met often at the Palimino Garage, and they enjoyed playing practical jokes on one another.
Survivors include Martha Jane Anich of Lander, older brother, Keith (Marlene) Donoven of Bozeman, Montana, and Jan (Doug) McElvany of Arlington, Texas; sons, Dennis (Joyce) Donoven of Kremlin, Montana, and Dale (Cheryl) Donoven of Trenton, North Dakota; grandchildren include Tanisha Cavanaugh, Deven Donoven, Darby Donoven, Desirae Stanford, Lyle Donoven (Kelcey), Nic (Lori) Donoven, Julia Donoven, and Rian (Kayla) Owens. He is also survived by eight great-grandchildren. Lyle's survivors also include Jane's children, Mary Lou, George (Mary) Anich and Philp (Debbie) Anich and their families.
Lyle was preceded in death by an infant son, Dallas; his father and mother; and his brother, Earl.

NILES - The Niles Post Office will be among the area post offices taking part in the annual National Association of Letter Carriers' food drive on Saturday.
Residents are asked to place nonperishable food donations in bags and place them by the mailbox as part of the "Stamp Out Hunger" food drive campaign.
Jean Williams, director of Niles Community Services, said all food donated and collected in the Niles Post Office route areas will stay local. She said the number of families needing assistance has increased by 30 percent with 400 families a month getting help at Niles Community Services.

The Niles Post Office will be among the area post offices to participate in the National Associaton of Letter Carriers' annual ''Stamp Out Hunger'' food drive campaign being held on Saturday. Residents are being asked to place non-perishable food items in bags by their mailbox so letter carriers can collect them on their routes. The items will help local families and be taken to Niles Community Services. From left are Jean Williams, director of Niles Community Services, Mike Flarey, shop steward with Branch 355, and Chuck Mulidore, acting post master.
Williams said mail carriers throughout the day on Saturday will bring the donations to Niles Community Services, where Key Club students will help with sorting.
"We try to make this a real social event with the letter carriers and volunteers all working together. We appreciate all the work done by the postal employees and all the volunteers,'' she said.
Chuck Mulidore, acting postmaster at the Niles Post Office, said the postal employees are always willing to take part in such an event to help the local community.
Williams said the employees stop throughout the day to bring items to Niles Community Services.
Thousands of United States postal employees are scheduled to participate in the national event, which is marking its 18th year.
The annual event is the largest one-day food drive in the nation, according to event organizers with the USPS. The effort feeds families in all 50 states. Postcards have been sent to homes to remind people of the drive.

You can blame Mother Nature for a $40-million cost over-run for last year's snow clearing.
Montreal spent 190-million dollars plowing and trucking away what fell, according to the newspaper 24h. That's 25-percent more than expected.
Executive committee member Anie Samson says nearly 300 centimetres of snow fell from January First to December 31st, including two major dumps.
There's no indication yet whether the city will have to cut elsewhere to address the cost over-run.

Overall Experience:
This school is simply not worth what they charge. Ripon gives out excellent financial aid but even with that it still cost more than a public school that has more classes and only slightly larger class sizes. Even other private schools are better. I think Ripon needs to focus less on extra curricular activities and making the upper campus look nice and give more focus to the education that is actually important. During tours they do not even take you to see the quad, which is dorms you will most likely have to live in at least once. The school is also very one sided politically there are clubs for both republican and democrats however it seems to me that your opinion is unwanted if it does not agree with the majority.
Overall Experience:
I have met many alumni of Ripon College that are happy to help you find jobs and internships, they always exhibit a lot of school pride and that is comforting but still Ripon is not a College for everyone. I have not worked extensively with SSS which would deal with career services but I can say from being in there a few times they are probably some of the most helpful people on campus.
Health & Safety:
One of the few things I love about this school is how safe I feel. I have never once been concerned to walk alone outside at night. It is easy to get to know majority of the other students on campus so you feel safe with almost everyone.
Campus Housing:
Campus housing is okay. Most of the dorms are old and run down. The freshman live in nice dorms and senior apartments are nice but the quad is awful. This past winter I lived in Bovay and half the time the heat didn't work the furniture is very old my desk chair I didn't even feel safe sitting on because it was so wobbly. To get your room you have to go to "room lottery" where you pick numbers and pick the room you want when your number is called. If you cant make it to room lottery that night you can send a friend to pick your room for you but I think doing it all online would be much easier than making everyone go to the auditorium one day.
Greek Life:
I am not in Greek life so I can not say for certain what it is like to be part of a group, but as independent it seems like some Greeks do think that they are better and they act as if because you do not have Greek events to attend that you do nothing. For sororities primarily they are very close and to be friends with them but not in the sorority is nearly impossible.
A very large majority of the students are in sports. Ripon is a DIII school so pretty much anyone can play. Since sports are so popular our board of trustees has decided to redo the entire sports facility. This project is currently underway and will cost the schools millions. In my opinion there were several other places money could have been used first.
Overall Experience:
Ripon College as a whole cares about one thing, and that is profit. There are a few members of the staff that are caring and helpful but as a majority they are not. The school charges more than other private colleges and offers less. We no longer have free laundry or printing. And parking has always been expensive. In addition to that they do not offer many classes. Computer science and a large portion of the Math department have been cut, in my opinion that is unacceptable. Those classes are all very important and useful while less useful classes have been kept. You are not allowed to live off campus ever and that is because Ripon College wants your money. For what they charge for a double dorm room and a meal plan you could rent the nicest newest 2 bedroom apartment in the area and have money for groceries, I have looked into it. Overall I have regretted every minute of my two years here, and no I will not be returning.
Overall Experience:
The professors and students are what make this school worth going to. The education is what people want from a school and the professors provide a good education for students.
Overall Experience:
Internships are available and facilitated through the professors. Other than that, whether or not a degree is worthwhile almost entirely depends on the student.
Health & Safety:
I have never once felt unsafe on this campus. I don't know of anyone who has been assaulted (sexually or otherwise). Theft has been a problem some, but that is as bad as it ever is going to get.
Campus Housing:
90% of the housing available is typical college dorm room housing. It's not the best, but that isn't what a college student is looking for. A college student is looking for a place that isn't the gutter. The Campus Apartments are by far the best residences on campus. Spacious, kitchen and bathroom, with individual bedrooms for each of the 4 roommates. Other than that, the housing process usually allows you to get the type of room and room location that you desire.
Greek Life:
As a non-Greek member of the college, I only have so much to add to the rating. Greeks don't act as though they're better than non-Greeks (some do act that way, but that is due to their personality, not the Greek life). Each fraternity and sorority has its own 'personality' you could say. If you're interested in joining, there's probably one that will fit your personality. If you don't wish to join, no one will treat you any differently.
As a non-athletic student, I don't know very much about the athletic presence on campus. From my understanding, the students involved in athletics are happy with their team's performance most of the time, and fan support is relatively positive.The biggest con about the athletic aspect of Ripon is the recent Storzer Project. While facility updating is important for any school, it appears that the school administration and board of trustees are placing athletic importance before academic importance. A college is primarily an academic institution, but the recent administration has decided that athletics are more important to focus on for the college.
Overall Experience:
A school can be boiled down to three main aspects: The students, the professors, and the resources of the college. Ripon excels at the first two, but the third can be lacking. This is the typical problem that small colleges run into. The student life is very close-knit. People know each other well, and it's a friendly campus. The professors care about their students. With class sizes at 40 or 50 people max (for 90% of classes the size is going to be below 20 people) students and professors can engage in productive lectures and class conversations.
I feel like any student is accepted here, no matter who they are, where they come from, or what they believe in.
Drug Safety:
I'm not worried about feeling pressured to drink or do drugs. I know students respect each other and won't treat you any differently if you do not do what they do.
Health & Safety:
I have heard nothing but good things about the public safety on campus and I do not have any worries about being safe.
Campus Housing:
After having a few overnights on campus, I stayed in a dorm that will be the same as the one I am staying in next year and I love them. They are very spacious in my opinion and because of that very easy to keep clean. They come with desks, dressers, and closets which I really liked. There are different ways to set up the beds to create more space, and I also like how there is a common area for everyone to sit together if they chose to do so.
When I first was being recruited by coach Lauren (my now new basketball coach), I had a great impression of her right off the bat. She told me how close of a team they were, and all the players got along great. They take time to do things together in the community, and are willing to help each other in the classroom as well. I know that in their conference, they had a team with one of the highest overall GPA's, which I thought was very impressive and it makes me confident that I will be able to succeed in the classroom as well as on the court. I am confident that when it comes to the sports aspect of college, I have picked the right team.
Overall Experience:
I am very confident in the school I chose because throughout my whole process of recruiting and meeting with advisers and coaches, I have had nothing negative to say. I am confident that I will succeed at the college I have chosen and after my first four years as well. I know that the college I have chosen is the right fit for me, and if I had to go through the whole process again, I am confident my decision would not change.
Overall Experience:
It has been a blast, and a real learning experience. It is definitely hard, but worthwhile.
Health & Safety:
We have security on campus that patrols during the evening hours. We also all signed up for RAVE alerts that get sent to our phone if something has happened. We can also call that number if we need help.
Overall Experience:
There is a great variety of courses available to students on campus. Professors are encouraging you to take courses you are interested in, not just those in your major. Classes are challenging but not impossible if you work hard.
Overall Experience:
The internship opportunities are there if you have professors who actively talk about them. internships in psychology are pretty diverse, an opportunity for every interest. As for career prospects, I am not sure about those as I have not looked into those opportunities yet.
Campus Housing:
Although a small space, the rooms are well maintained and are often updated to make students feel comfortable.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Overall, Ripon is "home" to so many students, and it certainly does feel that way. Ripon College is a community in itself. People know each other, and it's great because you either know everyone's name or at least their face. Campus is familiar, like a home would be. The people on campus (such as the faculty, staff, and other students) care about each other genuinely. Students meet their best friends here or their future spouses. Regardless, the relationships made at Ripon are ones that last. And it's not just the sense of community. The overall experience includes academics, and frankly, Ripon does it right. Ripon offers a small, personal learning environment that encourages discussion and critical thinking. It gets everyone involved in some way. The opportunities that are made available to Ripon's students are endless and abounding, and the awesome thing is, your professors encourage you every step of the way to grab those experiences and let them change you and help you grow. That's what Ripon is: a place to grow.
Ripon challenges students to try new things and put themselves in situations that will help prepare them for their future. The staff and faculty at Ripon do what they can to help students ready themselves for their professional careers and get students to step out of their comfort zones. They encourage all to greet the world beyond Ripon with a smile, tenacity, intuition, and fearlessness. Ripon is unique in these ways. Due to its size and personable qualities, the school allows for one-on-one relationships, and it is through these relationships that students gather gems of knowledge that help them prepare for life after Ripon College. It is this that puts Ripon above the rest.
