From Linn's most recent 10Q.
The first of these statements seems to indicate that risk is alleviated by counterparty netting (offset by credit lines from the counterparties?). The second seems to indicate counterparty failure is still a risk to the company.
Any thoughts on how to reconcile these statements?
The Company's counterparties are participants in its Credit Facility (see Note 8) which is secured by the Company's oil and gas reserves; therefore, the Company is not required to post any collateral. The Company does not require collateral from the counterparties. The maximum amount of loss due to credit risk, based on the gross fair value of financial instruments that the Company would incur if its counterparties failed completely to perform according to the terms of the contracts was approximately $8.4 million at September 30, 2008. In accordance with the Company's standard practice, its commodity and interest rate swap derivatives are subject to counterparty netting under the agreements governing such derivatives and therefore the risk of such loss is mitigated at September 30, 2008.
Disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of the global financial crisis may adversely affect our hedge positions.
To achieve more predictable cash flow and to reduce our exposure to fluctuations in the prices of oil, gas and NGL, we enter into hedging arrangements for a significant portion of our production. Given the recent failures of major financial institutions, we cannot be assured that our counterparties will be able to perform under our hedge contracts. If a counterparty fails to perform and the hedging arrangement is terminated, our cash flow, and ability to pay distributions could be impacted.
Sounds to me like the one time hit if counterparties failed would be a net 8.4 mil upfront due to netting of credit facility. This tells me that the hedges cost them 8.4 million more than they borrowed from the counterparties.
Ongoing, the loss of the price protection provided by the hedges could impact cash flow. The impact would be negative if prevailing prices of oil and gas were less than the hedged price or positive if greater. So the impact of lost price protection could go either way.
Of course, if the counterparties failed the world would have much bigger problems than LINE's cash flow due to the international makeup of those counterparties. In a sense, this means LINE is TOO BIG TO FAIL because of its links to institutions that world economies have already deemed "too big to fail".
Vol96, I am not sure that your understanding of the hedge disclosure is completely accurate although I agree with your comments about the effect on cash flow of having no hedges. I have posted below an explanation of what I understand the hedge footnote means:
LINE really has benefitted from its hedging on two fronts. One, it has a very high percentage of production hedged, which not only is good for cash flow, but should also keep LINE's credit line base solid even with the lower market prices for commodities. Two, it was wise to put basis differential hedges in place for its mid-continent production due to the extreme divergence between NYMEX and Waha hub prices.
Management was wise to have immediately replaced the LEH hedges when LEH defaulted and fortunate that it had a war chest from the sales of Applalchia and Verden properties to fund that action. Replacing those positions today would be much more costly.
The counterparty risk in September is minimal as the replacement cost of the contract - or then prevailing commodity price oil of $90 a barrel or so. The counterparty risk of non-performance goes up materially since the price of the replacement commodity in the event of default is realized.
In otherwords, if the put contracts at $90 are replaced by market contracts at current $50 barrel rates the loss to operations becomes substantial.
The key thing here is, can the counterparty meet its obligation to purchase oil at $90 a barrel if they don't have the $$ to buy it and create wealth at $50 a barrell sold into the market? Without collateral?
Obviously, right now, it would make some sence for Line to buy $50 a barrel oil and sell into the $90 contracts as opposed to producing it?
There may be a hedge here for them to start putting collars on the prices to lock in the gains?
If Linn trades lower.... I will add a few shares.
Would be nice at these levels if they'd start repurchasing some units or give us monthly distributions so we could accumulate.
Good luck to all
If my too big to fail hypothesis is correct, the relevant counterparty risk to LINE lies in those hedges held by institutions that are not classified as too big to fail, if they have any.
is polite buttcovering. It's the equivalent of "past performance etc etc...The risk may or may not be palpable..the statement protects them legally because it recognizes a possibility before it occurs.
In this environment EVERYTHING is questioned and counterparty risk is grabbing liquidity by the throat.
I'm investing in PWE..LINE..EPD..LGCY..even if the distributions are cut every negative factor has already been built into the low prices....
Given what is going on they have to put that footnote in there. They have already had one coutner party (Lehman) go belly up so of course any auditor is going to make them disclose this risk. I don't know how likely it is to happen I guess it depends on who the hedges are with. You wouldn't have thought Lehman was going to go belly up but they did. The market seems to be pricing in a chance that the hedges won't hold. Otherwise there is no reason for the stock to be where it is oil prices dropping have no real affect on LINE if the hedges hold. Lower oil prices should actually help them by increasing demand from where it would be otherwise as long as the hedges hold. If we can get through the next month or with no majors financial instituation blow ups I think LINE will start to go up as people realize the financial system is stable.
<< how to reconcile statements >>
The counterparty risk analysis is a moving target. Here is what the statement about $8.4 million of credit risk exposure if the counterparties completely failed to perform as of Sept 30 means in the context of the financial statement footnote:
If you read the entire footnote, you will see that LINE had derivative assets of $299 million and derivative liability of $379 million. That is simply a statement that if all of its contracts in effect at Sep 30 had to be settled as of that date, some of its contracts were assets (meaning that the counterparty would have to pay LINE in the event of settlement) and some of its contracts were liabilities (meaning LINE would have to pay the counterparty in the event of settlement). So lINE had a net liability to counterparties of about $80 million.
We assume that all counterparties fail to perform.
LINE can offset the derivative asset balances due from each individual counterparty against the derivative liabilities due to each individual counterparty. But that offset is only available on a counterparty by counterparty basis. You cannot offset a derivative asset owed by Bank A against a liablility owed to Bank B.
So when LINE says it has $8.4 million derivative credit risk, all it is saying is that if all counterparties failed to perform, it could recover all but $8.4 million of its derivative assets by offsetting them against derivative liabilities. It would have a net liability of $80 million plus it would lose $8.4 million because in its counterparty group, it has some bank or banks which owe $8.4 million more to LINE on derivatives than LINE owes to those banks.
LINE is not saying that it can offset derivative obligations against credit line balances. In general, that would not be permitted by credit agreements and if banks use different entities -- pne to make loans and another to enter into the counterparty hedge arrangements (which would be the norm), setoff would normally not legally be available.

President Barack Obama's statement about two weeks ago that law schools should be only two years may not be far-fetched, and a similar concept could appear at UF's Levin College of Law.
UF students aren't encouraged to take the bar exam after two years because they wouldn't be ready, said law school Dean Robert Jerry. But the idea of changing the third and final year of law school to be more hands-on has already been discussed by the administration.
"We would make the third year a curriculum of problem solving," Jerry said.
Currently, problem-solving skills are spread throughout the three years instead of concentrated in one final year.
He said the first two years would remain in the traditional classroom format to learn the knowledge necessary to practice law. In the last year, there would be opportunities for real practice settings such as in law firms or simulated situations in class.
"There is the possibility of major changes in the upper division," said Jerry.
He said the two major issues facing law schools are cost of education and skills training.
Florida public law schools are considered affordable. He said law schools in other states can cost about $50,000. The concept of a two-year program would reduce that cost, but at the expense of training students, he said. That is where the hands-on third year comes in.
Law students also see merits to more practice in law school.
"From what I know, the third year is not as involved as an externship or internship," said Andy Schein, 22, a first-year law student. Schein said he is in agreement with Obama's statement because two years of traditional school would be better for preparation and more cost-effective.
But law programs might not stop at two years.
Jerry said there is a market for one-year law programs.
The degree, a master of law, would be ideal for those who do not want to practice law but want to increase their knowledge of law for other jobs such as for a new principal who wants to be familiar with education law.
Jerry said the one-year program is also something that could be seen in the future for UF.
"I'm prepared to advocate in addition to what the president said. There is a need for a program where people can enhance their knowledge of law," he said.
A version of this story ran on page 4 on 9/5/2013 under the headline "Obama suggests law schools consider barring third year"

Nigeria rushes to get isolation tents for Ebola
LAGOS, Nigeria -- Nigerian authorities rushed to obtain isolation tents Wednesday in anticipation of more Ebola infections as they disclosed five more cases of the virus and a death in Africa's most populous nation.
Officials were racing to keep the gruesome disease confined to a small group of patients.
The five new Nigerian cases were all in Lagos, a megacity of 21 million people in a country already beset with poor health-care infrastructure and widespread corruption, and all five were reported to have had direct contact with one infected man.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization began a meeting to decide whether the crisis, the worst recorded outbreak of its kind, amounts to an international public health emergency. At least 932 deaths in four countries have been blamed on the illness.
In recent years, the WHO has declared an emergency only twice, for swine flu in 2009 and polio in May. The declaration would probably come with recommendations on travel and trade restrictions and wider Ebola screening. It also would be an acknowledgment that the situation is critical and demands a global response.
In Sierra Leone, about 750 soldiers deployed to the Ebola-ravaged east as part of "Operation Octopus," were enforcing quarantines of sick patients. In Spain, the Defense Ministry said a medically equipped plane was ready to fly to Liberia to bring back a Spanish missionary priest who has Ebola.
At the same time, Saudi officials reported a suspected Ebola death, underscoring the risk of the disease spreading by air travel even as many airlines curtail their flights to the most infected cities.

When Vince Vinciguerra got into the formal-wear business 40 years ago, tuxedos came in what professionals called "a fruit cup" of vivid colors.
These days most tuxedos are black, and it's the ties, vests, and pocket squares that display a rainbow of hues.
"The boys get the accessories to match the girls' dresses," Vince says, manning a free hot dog cart, as he usually does during prom season at Tuxedo Junction.
It's early on a Thursday evening, and the line outside the store, on the White Horse Pike in Haddon Township, is nearly a block long.
The kids in the queue have come from high schools as close as Haddonfield and as far as Woodbury. They're waiting to pick up the finery that will define prom night for the rest of their lives. (See the photo of a columnist in a nifty number from 1971.)

Billeater: Save Money When Comparing Store Brands to National for Quality
You can save money by switching to a store brand versus its national brand counterpart. Consumer Reports studied store brand and national brand item in 29 food categories. The results were pretty amazing. Of the foods tested, 19 resulted in a tie. The remaining 10 were divided as six times the national brand won and four times the winner was the store brand.
The message here is 23 out of 29 times you will enjoy the same or even beat the national brand in quality and taste. What a great way to trim the fat from your grocery bill! The Taste of Generic
Starting in the 1970s you may remember the "generic store brand" versions of popular or national name brand products. Names such as "Peanut Butter" or "Whole Kernel Corn" would be stamped in black on a plain white-labeled can. The packaging wasn't the only thing that was bland; taste and quality suffered as well. Times have changed since the 70s, as Annika noted in her post on brand vs. generic. The store brands of today are rivaling even the most gourmet national brand products. Private "generic" labels have been cropping up all over the country in supermarkets looking like a high-quality labeled product.
The Name Game
Any product can think up new and exciting names and packaging ideas, however, the question comes down to quality and taste. Supermarkets in recent years have gone from the generic white label with black lettering to their own stores' name brand product.
Then some companies started to buy each other out so the store's name may not have been the best marketing choice for a product line. In some instances the companies just plain wanted to invent a whole new product. Some stores to go this direction rather than market their in-house version of a national brand rip-off. Regardless of brand creation, the consumer will make the ultimate decision on which to try and hopefully grow loyal to. Catchy names, great packaging and strategic placement on shelving have all proved to be amazing marketing ideas. But when it comes to the name game, quality and taste will be the ultimate factors.
Money Well Spent
In the 2000s, the store brand was a godsend to consumers looking to keep their grocery bill down. It can be hit or miss as some store brands still remain inferior to their national counterpart. Many food manufacturers, however, actually produce the national AND store brand item. There are manufacturers dedicated to the production of each only as well. A smart shopper may wish to do some research on their favorite items. Find out which store brands are made by the same manufacturer as the national brand.
If you've found your favorite store brand cereal is made by a national name brand company, make sure to check the list of ingredients. Even though it is made by the same manufacturer, the recipe may have been changed slightly to favor the national brand. Like anything else, knowledge is power.
Are there any store brand products you prefer to their brand name counterparts? Tell us which items won over your taste buds in the comments!

Hardware-Based Data Value and Address Trace Filtering Techniques
Capturing program and data traces during program execution unobtrusively in real-time is crucial in debugging and testing of cyber-physical systems. However, tracing a complete program unobtrusively is often cost-prohibitive, requiring large on-chip trace buffers and wide trace ports. Whereas program execution traces can be efficiently compressed in hardware, compression of data address and data value traces is much more challenging due to limited redundancy. In this paper, the authors describe two hardware-based filtering techniques for data traces: cache first-access tracking for load data values and data address filtering using partial register-file replay.

When I arrived for our third cooking class at Bayard Taylor school in North Philadelphia, I learned two of my students were missing dance club to be there. I would understand the true extent of that sacrifice as class progressed.
First, I handed out new aprons, a gift from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. (Thanks, PHS.) As we read over this week's recipes, for turkey burgers and eggplant fries, the young chefs were looking quite professional!
Four of the five kids had never tasted eggplant. They eyed the shiny, dark-purple vegetable curiously, but were not the least bit resistant to trying it.

In this 10th-anniversary edition of Lorna Sage's Whitbread prize-winning memoir of growing up in north Wales, her daughter, Sharon Tolaini-Sage, quotes a letter her late mother wrote to her publisher about an "autobiographical book" she was planning: "It doesn't yet have a title, alas, but . . . I'm still convinced it could be interesting." It's an understatement: Bad Blood exerts a deep and enduring fascination, its ruthlessly precise dissection of family politics pungently evoking specifics – head lice, underwear, children's games – as well as chord-striking universal themes – disappointment, infidelity, isolation. Her grandfather, a philandering vicar, looms over the book, the taint in Sage's veins, but the other characters are equally vivid, not least her fat, furious grandmother. Sage becomes pregnant at 16 yet overcomes this to forge a new beginning: her own kind of family and an academic career. Her teacher's report, she notes with pleasure, "warned that my shyness concealed a corrupt character", which "went down well in English departments". Proof that, beyond the shackles of family, there's a whole world out there.

Judged man named it sin
Bad man don't exist, no
No evil man exists
Good man don't exist, no
No righteous man exists
Sad man cannot cry in a place where man can see
Never witnessed father weep
This old man thought it weak
But strong man don't exist
No undying man exists
Weak man don't exist, no
Just flesh and blood exists
But your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
The beast will crawl this Earth
Then fall in the dirt to feed the crows
They'll rip apart his flesh
'Til all that's left is glorious bone
So you'll bury your own
Too vain
You saw it unfold
What you know
And you claimed all you could hold
Until death did you part from the mess you made
I bet your mother would be proud of you
I bet your mother would be proud of you
This song was originally intended to be featured on the film Django Unchained. According to Django director Quentin Tarantino, the track didn't make the cut because "there just wasn't a scene for it. I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that's not why he wrote it and not his intention. So I didn't want to cheapen his effort. But, the song is fantastic, and when Frank decides to unleash it on the public, they'll realize it then."

Renown for its single vineyard-designate Zinfandels—wines so robust and sumptuous, they're unforgettable. Mazzocco Zins are remarkably individual in nature—a characteristic shared with their award-winning Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.
"It's the fruit," confesses winemaker Antoine Favarro. Indeed, Mazzocco draws from some of the most breathtaking mountain vineyards in Sonoma County. It's the fruit combined with history and tradition, seasoned with a little innovation, that makes Mazzocco one of the most distinctive and sought-after brands in California. View all Mazzocco Wines
About Other CaliforniaView a map of Other California wineries
California has nearly 100 American Viticulture Areas (AVAs) and accounts for almost 90% of wine production in the United States. In our section of Other California, we include wines from smaller AVAs as well as wines from the California AVA. Here are a few smaller AVAs you may see on the label:
Livermore Valley AVA, located right outside of San Francisco and home to wineries such as Wente.
Lodi County AVA, an AVA further east of San Francisco and known for its excellent, old-vine Zinfandels.
San Francisco Bay AVA, a sprawling AVA that covers Contra Costa, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, to name a few. Wine that holds only the California AVA is typically a wine that includes grapes from a number of different AVAs, which leads to the general labeling of the wine as California. This does not denote the quality of the wine, only the diversity of where the grapes originate.
About California
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Kent lost seven wickets for 89 runs on the final morning as Worcestershire wrapped up a 125-run win in their LV= County Championship Division Two match at New Road.
Charles Morris accounted for three of the remaining batsmen to fall as Kent slumped from their overnight 51 for three to 140 all out.
Morris finished with 3-31 while Gareth Andrew and Jack Shantry claimed another two apiece to end with 4-43 and 3-26 respectively.

— Worcestershire CCC (@WorcsCCC) April 16, 2014
Kent needed to make a solid start to the day to lift hopes of reaching their 266-run target but Ben Harmison was trapped leg before by Shantry having added just one to his overnight nine.
That ended a 30-run stand with former West Indies batsman Brendan Nash, who followed when he flashed at a wide Shantry delivery and was well caught behind by Ben Cox, standing up, for 28.
Shaaiq Choudhry produced an even better catch to remove Darren Stevens, diving full length at midwicket to grasp a difficult chance off Andrew.
Morris gets his first New Road LVCC wicket. Tredwell bowled Morris for 1. Kent 101-7. 3 to go Worcestershire!!!
— Worcestershire CCC (@WorcsCCC) April 16, 2014
Morris then struck twice in as many overs, bowling James Tredwell off-stump and having Sam Billings lbw, as all Kent hope evaporated.
Morris and Andrew accounted for Mitchell Claydon and Doug Bollinger respectively to end proceedings before lunch.

Over the Labor Day weekend, National Right to Work Foundation President Mark Mix spread the message of worker freedom with radio interviews, and newspaper columns from coast to coast.
In a Daily Caller piece, Mix made the case that "Voluntary not coercive unionism respects American values":
Americans regularly join and form clubs, civic associations, and church groups, to say nothing of the countless other organizations that rely on little more than the enthusiasm and support of their members. In fact Alexis de Tocqueville, the famous chronicler of early 19th century American life, observed that such associations are ingrained in our national character.
"Americans of all ages, all conditions, and all dispositions constantly form associations," he wrote. "They have not only commercial and manufacturing companies, in which all take part, but associations of a thousand other kinds, religious, moral, serious, futile, general or restricted, enormous or diminutive."
Much has changed since de Tocqueville's time, but our shared enthusiasm for voluntary association has not. In fact, as technology has developed we've discovered new outlets for our passions and interests, with the Internet making it easier than ever to meet and share ideas, projects, and inspiration with like-minded people."
In states with Right to Work laws, Mix provided many reasons for workers to celebrate. From The Richmond Times-Dispatch:
Congratulations and Happy Labor Day! As a resident of Virginia, you are one of the millions of Americans living in one of 26 right-to-work states. You might not know it from their opponents' rhetorical posturing, but right-to-work laws are simple and to the point. A right-to-work law — like Virginia has had since 1947 — simply ensures that no employee can be forced to join or pay dues to a union, leaving the decision of union membership and financial support where it belongs, with each individual working person.
Simply on the basis of protecting each worker's freedom of association, right-to-work should be embraced, but the advantages don't stop there. Enshrining workplace freedom also brings significant economic benefits to the 26 states that have passed right-to-work laws.
In states without Right to Work laws, Mix made the case for them with economic and moral arguments. SouthCoastToday.com :
You're not alone if this sounds absurd. In the last national Gallup poll that asked, nearly 80 percent of your fellow Americans agreed: No worker should be forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment. This overwhelming support for Right to Work included significant majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independent voters.
Big Labor union bosses in your state enjoy a special privilege allowing them to expand their ranks through compulsion. Union bosses can impose a monopoly bargaining contract that includes a forced-dues clause that requires every employee (even the ones who did not vote for the union) to pay tribute to the union officials, just for the privilege of having a job.
Mix provided an exclusive piece to The New York Post which also appeared on Real Clear Politics that argued for celebrating workers on Labor Day not union bosses:
Instead of devoting themselves to providing the type of representation that workers would voluntarily pay for, Big Labor's multibillion-dollar political machine in Washington, DC, and state capitals pushes for more government-granted power to force themselves on unwilling workers.
Big Labor's position seems to be: Why should union officials bother with the hard work of representing employees if they're sitting on a forced-dues revenue stream guaranteed by the government?
Mix was interviewed by The Pittsburgh Tribune , about the Foundation's work:
Q: Do you think confusion exists among the general public as to what the foundation is attempting to accomplish?
A: Sure. Organized labor spends hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars a year to distort what this mission is all about. If you read the statutes that are on the books in all of the 26 right-to-work states, they do not stop one person from joining a union. They do not stop one person from paying union dues. They do not stop one person from participating in every single union activity that they want to participate in. Nothing in the statutes prohibits those things (but) they countenance the idea that someone can be fired for not joining a private organization and paying dues to it.
You can read the full interview here. The Chattanooga Times Free Press interviewed Mix about UAW attempts to unionize the Volkswagen plant in the area and the issue of compulsory unionism.
In addition, the National Right to Work Foundation's Labor Day statement was distributed to thousands of outlets all across the country, and Foundation spokesmen appeared on radio shows from coast to coast.

WEST CHESTER West Chester University's Council of Trustees has become increasingly frustrated with the state's higher education system and is solidly behind proposed legislation that would allow the school to explore withdrawing from it, a board member said.
"That's the direction we are looking at very seriously," said Eli Silberman, a retired advertising executive from Unionville and one of nine trustees. "It's not guaranteed the university is going to do that, but considering what's been going on over the last few years, it's an option we'd like to have."
Silberman said the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, which oversees the 14 state schools, with 112,300 students, this year took $1.6 million away from financially healthy West Chester to help struggling schools.

George Jones
Not to wish ill for anyone, but let's hope Jones never gets in too satisfied a mood. He's so good at being unhappy.
This LP is full of gloomy tunes all but custom-made for Jones. In one, by Bobby Harden, he sings to an ex-mate, "This old town's closed, and I've got no place to go," then reports her response: "Hell stays open all night." In "Somebody Always Paints the Wall," a paean to frustration, previously recorded by Josh Logan, Jones laments, "If my old truck was a horse, I'd have to shoot it/Lord, when my ship came in I was waitin' for a train."
The Roger Miller title tune plays nicely with its lyrics: "If you think it's lonesome where you are tonight/Then you oughta be here with me." And on another track Jones sings, "Every night I sleep just like a baby/I wake up every hour and cry."
Jones's voice, a very musical version of a hound dog baying at the moon, cuts straight to the black-and-blue section of the heart. Old George was born to be the sing-along leader in the pit of despair, and bless him for it. (Epic)

Author Affiliations: Department of Dermatology and Cutaneous Surgery, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, Miami, Florida.
A full-term-born white boy developed severe eczema soon after birth and seemed poorly responsive to topical medications. Family history revealed atopy in the mother and paternal grandfather. The recurrence of skin infections and otitis media prompted laboratory testing at age 2 years, which showed marked hypogammaglobulinemia involving all immunoglobulin subtypes. Parenteral immunoglobulin and prophylactic antibiotic treatments were commenced and he improved.
When seen at age 5 years, he still had widespread chronic eczema. In addition, erythematous and infiltrative lesions surmounted by scales and crusts were evident in a circinate pattern (Figure). Scalp and eyebrow hair did not show any abnormality clinically or on dermatoscopic and microscopic examination. Multiple skin cultures isolated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. Serum IgE and blood eosinophil levels were elevated; dosage of specific IgE showed positivity toward several airborne and food allergens. Topical emollients, corticosteroids (hydrocortisone butyrate, triamcinolone), calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus), bleach baths, and nasal mupirocin achieved only mild improvement of cutaneous lesions. The diagnosis was achieved by genetic testing.
Figure. Lesions and plaques. A, Raised, linear, serpiginous, and crustous lesions on a slightly erythematous background on the right forearm. B, Erythematous-scaly and confluent plaques on the back. C, An annular lesion showing double-edged scaling, ie, scales are present and partially detaching on both edges of the lesion.

Would like to know how pilots, ground crew and mechs identify and talk about the aircraft in the fleets.
Are the planes referred by tail number or the names given to the plane? For example do pilots refer to the old Wunula Dreaming as Wunula or by its reg -OEJ?

He is also a partner and editor for Badlands Design and Production, a publishing house that focuses on high-end coffee table photography books. I met Jerod online like so many of my friends these days. Then one day I get an email from him that he wants to interview me. Wait ! – That is my line. I am the one who does the interviewing. Well, it turned out he was writing a book for our good friends at Peachpit/New Riders entitled "Storyteller: A photographer's Guide to Developing Themes and Creating Stories with Pictures". After the interview, which ended up in the book, by the way, I realized we had a lot to talk about. So we decided to continue with our conversation here.

St. Joseph's opportunity to add a signature victory came down to two open three-point shots by Langston Galloway, the team's best scorer. The Hawks trailed No. 14 Butler by four points in the final minute Wednesday night, and Galloway could not connect on the shots that coach Phil Martelli and his teammates want him to take.
Both misses spoiled the likelihood of a comeback and helped cement Butler's 72-66 win at Hagan Arena.
"That's the shot I want, and everybody on the team would want me to have that shot," said Galloway, who finished with 11 points. "I just didn't step up to make that shot."

Requirments are either connection to wireless internet (i.e. wireless router), or using the USB network adapter (which I dont have much info on), and of course a Wii. Im thinking it would be a pretty smart idea for Nintendo to have a regular 10/100 LAN port for you to just plug in an internet cable from a router, wireless or not.Originally Posted by Icetrash
And about the amateur Wii games. I think I used the wrong wording when I said that. I meant games that you create yourself or some other amateur game "dev" creates, in which you can upload and download via WiiConnect-24 and play on the Wii. Not necessarily with the Wii engine (i.e. motion sensor) but just able to play on the Wii. But looking back I dont see why you wouldnt be able to make your own actual Wii games. Nintendo would still sell games because they know that actual game devs will make much better games than us amateurs (for the most part). If we come across some amateur games that are just friggin amazing, then Im sure Nintendo will notice and possibly offer to buy the rights from you . I'm not making facts here guys. I just dont see why it cant be done.

Future Project
This is an exciting time for Julia Builds A Playground. This past year I was able to raise enough money for my next project by doing a 'Pop-Up' shop. At this 'Pop-Up' I sold used clothes, which were donated to me, at low prices at an event space in Houston. We had amazing success and people really enjoyed it! From this I have been working on prospective project sites, so keep checking the website for updates!

Our new Director of Economic Development will help us realize the untapped potential in our state, and we will be well-served with her track record of recruiting businesses. We want the world to know Nebraska welcomes business investment and has good jobs in great communities.
But creating jobs is more than just a marketing focus or incentives. We need to evaluate what we are doing to encourage small business to expand and grow. We need to have a plan to attract business investment as well as business relocations. We need to be strategic and aggressive about trade opportunities.
We need higher paying jobs to reverse the decline in Nebraska's median family income. We need higher paying jobs to increase the state's population and growing jobs requires a more competitive tax environment.

Course Overview
We aim to graduate excellent clinicians who are equipped to practise in the 21st century, with a deep understanding of the scientific foundations of medicine and high levels of clinical expertise. The course is designed to ensure you meet the necessary standards in terms of knowledge, skills and attitudes that new doctors need, as identified by the GMC in its publication, 'Tomorrow's Doctors'.
Throughout the course there is an emphasis on feedback to help you improve your knowledge, understanding and performance of medical practice.
The modern, spiral, highly-integrated medical curriculum combines a range of learning strategies, including early clinical experience, integrated communication and clinical skills teaching, practical sessions, including dissection, problem-based-learning (PBL), lectures and seminars. You will have extensive experience of clinical placements in both primary and secondary care settings and in the community sector. Inter-professional learning and student interests are fostered throughout the programme. Further opportunities for diversity are encouraged through intercalation.
Opportunities for intercalation to pursue an additional qualification in a medicine-related subject are available and include studying at bachelor's level after the second year or master's level after the fourth year. Intercalation is a year out of your undergraduate medical studies in order to study a subject area in greater depth before returning to complete the medical course. An intercalated degree provides you with an opportunity to pursue an additional qualification in a medicine-related subject that interests you, acquire a better understanding of basic biomedical sciences, medical humanities and research methodologies, publish scientific papers and present at conferences.

Course workload
This contact time measure is intended to provide you with an indication of the type of activity you are likely to undertake during your programme. The data is compiled based in module choices and learning patterns of students on similar programmes in previous years. Every effort is made to ensure this data is a realistic representation of what a student is likely to experience, but changes to programmes, teaching methods and assessment methods mean this data is representative and not specific.
Undergraduate courses at Keele contain an element of module choice; therefore, individual students will experience a different mix of contact time and assessment types dependent upon their own individual choice of modules. The figures below are an example of activities that a student may expect on your chosen course by year/stage of study. Contact time includes scheduled activities such as: lecture, seminar, tutorial, project supervision, demonstration, practical classes and labs, supervised time in labs/workshop, fieldwork and external visits. The figures are based on 1,200 hours of student effort each year for full-time students.

Skills and Careers
What will this mean for my future?
Successful completion of the MBChB course provides you with a primary medical qualification (PMQ). Holding a PMQ entitles you to provisional registration with the General Medical Council. Provisionally registered doctors can only practise in approved Foundation Year 1 posts. There is a national application process for Foundation Year 1 posts during the final year of the course, and posts are allocated on a competitive basis. So far, all suitably qualified UK graduates have found a place on the Foundation Year 1 programme, but this cannot be guaranteed. Successful completion of the Foundation Year 1 programme is normally achieved within 12 months and is marked by the award of a Certificate of Experience. You will then be eligible to apply for full registration with the General Medical Council. You need full registration with a licence to practise for unsupervised medical practice in the NHS or private practice in the UK.
Medical students at UK medical schools who are from overseas and do not have right of residence must check how the latest information on visa requirements affects their postgraduate training period. Please see the Visas and immigration website www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk.
Information about medical careers after graduation is correct at the time of going to press. For up to date information please visit www.mmc.nhs.uk.

I think many of us are drawn to nature and to natural elements. I know that the older I get, the more I appreciate the natural beauty that surrounds us, and the more time I want to spend taking it all in - both figuratively and literally.

Stress relief
But one of my favorite and less conventional methods of stress reduction is to rearrange my furniture. I rearranged my entire living room last night. I find giving a room a free face lift is so much fun, and in my tiny house, a bit of a creative challenge. It also helps me to bear living with my 1990s yucko furniture for a bit longer.
I used to drive my ex crazy when I'd do this, but my current roommate is pretty cool with it. Dogs are like that.
I forgot to take a "before" picture, but this is the "after."

What is your worth?
No worries. Right now, I think I'm great.
But here's the thing. I think I'm great because I am proud of the path that I've been on lately. Because I am making art and staying sober and being attentive to my family and friends and keeping my house moderately kinda clean. Because I judge myself constantly, (and others, by the way – even though this is a big no-no), and when I am not doing the things that make me proud, I feel pretty crappy about myself. And when I am following my true path and meeting my own expectations, I feel good. To me, that makes sense. It's how I was raised.
I still remember when I would come home with my report card as a kid. I was a decent student, but I have some willful and lazy tendencies toward doing things I don't love, so my grades in math and science would inevitably dip by the third quarter, when I was just tired of showing up. And my dad would never get angry. He would just say, "if you did your best, and all you could get is a C," then I am proud of you." Yeah, I know. My dad is a very clever guy. Instead of feeling good about getting off without punishment for bringing home a "C," I'd feel terrible because I knew that I hadn't done my best.
But I keep reading in all of the feel-goody, new-agey articles out there that we have worth simply because we are. Not because of what we do. That our value isn't tied to our deeds.
And while I may be able to forgive others their trespasses, and I have, many times (to a point), I have a very difficult time accepting my own worth when I am behaving in a way that goes against my own truth.
I also have a difficult time with the concept of worth as intrinsic as it relates to people who commit heinous crimes, such as murder or molestation. They have worth because they are human, and by their very existence, just like me, they are not defined by what they do? I could list much lesser offenses here, and still I would feel like this concept is not quite right. I don't get this one, people. I just don't.
So as long as I am trying to do my best, I am great. A bit judgmental, but otherwise, great.

One of those days
After spending several long and tedious hours cataloging and reorganizing all of my original, digital artwork – a necessary task that I have put off for a very long time – I lost it. All. In one accidental slip of a finger. One accidental tap of a DE-fucking-LETE key. Not in the trash, where it could be retrieved. Just gone. Adios, muchachos.
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye.
I was truly stunned when I realized what had happened. And how quickly and completely 300 files had just disappeared. I just sat there for a few seconds and mentally assessed the damage.
But I didn't panic. In spite of how much work it was going to take to fix it; in spite of the fact that my day was going less than perfectly in a half dozen other ways prior to this disaster. You know you're having a bad day when you tell yourself that at least you're not a Syrian refugee, in order to feel better. But for real, that works every time. These are "first world problems," as they say.
I did an inventory of the damage. I had lost about 300 files, and all of the organizing, numbering, and clean up work on them, but I was fairly sure that I had all of the original sketches and that most of the digital versions of my artwork were elsewhere on my pc.
So I settled in on the sofa with Max, turned on the State of the Union address, turned OFF the State of the Union address, and watched a DVR'd episode of Fixer Upper. Chip and Joanna always make me feel better.
And today, I catalogued and organized them all over again. -- So stay tuned. All of this work is for my website, which has been "under construction" for two and a half years. I think this happened just to test me into proving how much I want it.
