text: This is my son, J3, and my grandpuppy, Rails. My son went through a real rough time right before Christmas thanks to some friends who turned out not to be friends at all and about the only things he was able to hold onto were his clothes and his dog. We tried to battle for all of his stuff...computer, music collection, video games, etc. , but he said "No, its not worth it. I have what I need." That's all he wanted. The bonding between these two was instant and deep. I had to do this page. The journaling says (left to right) "Where you look...I look." "When you smile...I smile." "We were meant for eachother."

Red Riding Hood: Part Two
I will not tell you his name, so for convenience, I'll call him Uncle, like I did during the two weeks we were trying to leave Germany.
Uncle's house was in the geographical center of a large forest in the northwest of the mountains in the country. It took a plane flight to get to the country, a train ride to the last town, and a horse ride out to the woods. The horse was skittish, and refused to go into the woods, and it only took one smell from the strong wind that suddenly blew through to know why. Wolves. The forest reeked of them. I was fine with wolves, but the horse wasn't, so I took all my belongings and sent the horse on its merry way. The wind blew itself out, and the fog grew even thicker than before. And so I pulled up my bright red hood that would identify me to Uncle and stepped into the forest.
When did the wolves start following? Shortly after I walked in. But as I mentioned before, I was fine with wolves. After all, there's not much I can't handle, and even a starving wolf wouldn't be able to hurt me. Cocky? No. I believe 'skilled' is the proper term.
But anyway, as I walked through the woods, the wolves kept following, growing in number. Soon, there must have been a whole pack or two, just traveling with me, like a group of puppies following a loving owner. After trekking for hours through the woods, I finally saw Uncle's home. It was a sizable log cabin that sat down in a valley. It was picturesque in an eerie way, what with the thick fog and black smoke coming from a chimney built into the side of the cabin. I lingered on the edges of the trees for a few moments, knowing that the cabin was being watched. That I would be watched once I stepped out into the open. I looked around a few times, and sure enough, I could see two scouts 'hiding' up in trees, watching the cabin. There was also a camera hidden nearby, I could tell by the clicking it made as it turned.

RE: Second Chances [xkatieshepherd]Mature
He looked down at me with eyes as dark as his own soul, uncaring, unflinching and so hell bent on revenge that I really didn't stand a chance. But everyone has an instinct to live, don't they? Even as they are on death's doorstep they will fight until the very last moment, until all is lost and nothing more can be done. That is why I was now pleading for my life, despite the fact that a part of me knew it was pointless.
'I didn't know,' I whispered pathetically.
He aimed another kick at my face, sending pain straight through my head, centred at my cheekbone. My vision clouded and my ears rang. I couldn't even reach for my face thanks to the uncomfortable position my hands were tied in, behind me.
'I ask you one simple thing,' he spat at me. His saliva hit my cheek and I tried not to flinch as it trailed down past my jaw. I was hurting, both emotionally and physically. I felt drained and briefly wondered to myself if I should just give up, if now was my time to go. Without warning, her face flashed through my mind. Her beautiful, angelic features staring up at me, those wide blue eyes depicting nothing but innocence. The most staggering sense of loss and grief tore through me, rendering me speechless.
It was then I realized I had nothing to live for. I could beg and plead all I liked, for all the good that it would do but it wouldn't bring Leah back would it? I just had to make him kill me quickly, painlessly, so all this heartache, these problems and disasters would come to a final end and I could be with her.
I noticed from where I was laying a gun attached to the man's belt.
'Yet you could not do it,' he continued. 'You're so incapable of even the slightest task. You're useless, you're nothing.'
You're not nothing… Leah's voice breezed through my mind. A part of me was aware that I was going crazy, the other just felt an overwhelming sense of joy and love course through me at hearing her voice. It had been so long.
'You killed Leah,' my voice came out broken, raw. 'I don't want that to happen to me.'
He crouched on his haunches, grabbed me roughly by the chin and jerked my head up to face him.
'Tough luck.'
He withdrew the gun from his belt.
'You screwed up.'
Aimed it at my head.
'And I don't give second chances.'
The most deafening sound ensued and the world exploded into light.

Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 287 reviews
Great Apartment in the middle of Barcelona - convenient to public transportation, the Sagrada Familia and the Hop-on/Hop-off bus. Neighborhood has ample selection of restaurants and markets. The unit has all of the amenities we needed and the laundry machines on the top floor worked great. This was our first stay in Barcelona and I would stay here again if I went back.
Excellent location for sight-seeing, metro steps away. City bus tour stop steps away too.
3 days short trip. Wonderful apartment for the price. Many of grocery stores close by to buy for in the kitchen. Great safe neighbor. Very friendly helpful staff especially I believe Alex was his name. Got our apt ready early. Also very sunny and warm a/c worked like a charm
Central location that makes it fairly easy to see a lot, but not necessarily immediately in a great neighborhood for bars and restaurants. You'll listen to Sagrada Familia construction noise if you stay here. The pool is tiny - just good for sitting in to cool down. The WiFi is unreliable and cuts out regularly, but recovers immediately. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful.
The hotel was a little far from the sites and areas we really wanted or be near such as The Ramblas and Gothic Quarter. It was very close to Sagrada Familia however. It was is a safe area of town so we felt fine walking around even at 10-11 pm at night. The hotel reception staff spoke excellent English and were very friendly. The only negative was that there was a funny smell in the kitchen area (from a previous guest's meal?). Otherwise the room that we had (1 bedroom plus a sofa bed= 2 bedroom) was fine for our family of 4.

The Shah must be returned to Iran for trial, he had told us then; there must be a new Iran, a turning away from luxury and corruption. And today, along the steel and glass walls that protect the tomb, there lie - swept aside and heaped like dead leaves on an autumn day - millions and millions of Iranian riyals, tens of thousands of bank notes, all of them pushed into the shrine by pilgrims for the remission of sins and sickness and imminent death.
For a shrine is what Ayatollah Khomeini's simple grave has now become, not just a wayside sanctuary but a fully-fledged Islamic way-station, covering 3,000 square metres, whose glowing cupola and golden minarets can be seen for 20 miles, floating in the plain below the snows of Damovand.
It is half the size of the Imam Hussein's shrine at Najaf, but already twice the size of the Imam Reza's mosque at Mashad, the bulldozers and cranes labouring through the hot afternoon on the walls of a new religious college. There are shops selling Khomeini badges and plates and paintings, a shish-kebab restaurant for hungry pilgrims and a "Shrine Bazaar" for souvenir hunters.
"One day, this will be a city like Kerbala," one of the pilgrims says ecstatically, and he is probably right. You only have to see the size of the project, the height of the golden minarets, to realise that the shrine of the Imam at Behesht Zahra will one day be part of the Shia pilgrimage from Mazar-e-Sharif and Mashad to Najaf and Kerbala and Saida Zeinab.
Watch the reverence of the young men and women kissing the glass around the tomb and you realise that, in a sense, the old man is still alive, not just theologically, but politically. "Without the name of Khomeini," a poster on the pilgrims' four-lane highway says, "there would have been no revolution."
So it is here, beneath the green marble, with its spray of pink flowers and sash of black cloth, that the real focus of America's anger lies. If Iran truly presents, as President Bill Clinton claims, "an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States", then the 89-year-old prelate who was buried here in June 1989 remains the real and most dangerous enemy of the US, a man whose spirit still controls a nation which remains more of a necrocracy than a theocracy.
And oddly enough, Khomeini still replies to the United States - in perfect copies of his own elderly, spindly, scholarly handwriting, the lines sloping down to the left of the page, handed out to visitors. The booklet, entitled The Last Message, is the Imam's final will and testament, handed to Ahmed Khomeini, the son who would die only six years later, and who was buried beside his father here just two months ago.
Turn, for example, to the seventh page of the text and you will find the following: "The USA is the foremost enemy of Islam. It is a terrorist state by nature ... and its ally, international Zionism, does not stop short of any crime to achieve its base and greedy desires ... the Islam nations ... are pleased to have Hussein of Jordan, Hassan of Morocco and Hosni Mubarak of Egypt, fellow managers of Israel, as enemies ... we ... are delighted to be objects of criminal accusations by the superpowers through the international mass media under their control."
It could have been written yesterday, or it could have been uttered at our meeting in Qom a decade and a half ago when Khomeini's translator was Sadeq Qotbzadeh, a supporter in his Paris exile and a factotum whom we regarded then as one of the old man's loyal followers.
Yet in scarcely 10 years Qotbzadeh was to be arrested, tortured, condemned for conspiracy and executed in Tehran with Khomeini's approval. There is even a chilling line in the last will and testament which might just have referred to Qotbzadeh. "In the course of ... the revolution," the spidery handwriting says, "I spoke favourably of certain individuals who had pretensions to Islam. But I later realised their deception."
They say in Tehran that the keepers of the new shrine have to offer free breakfasts to the poor to bring the pilgrims in. But less than a mile from the cupola lie tens of thousands of Iranians who obtained only death from their allegiance to Ayatollah Khomeini, a mere handful of the million who were slaughtered in the Iran-Iraq war, sharing now the same soil as the man who sent them to the killing fields.
Akbar Perbovosian, one of the shrine's guardians, was a survivor. He shows me a series of wounds, to his neck, his leg, his ankle, eight in all - from bullets and shell splinters, not to mention the chemicals he breathed during an Iraqi gas attack at Fao.
"I left my wife and baby a few minutes after the war began and I was wounded on every front," he said. "I never regretted anything. My wife supported me. I fought for Islam and the Imam. Ninety per cent of my friends were martyred. I am sorry I did not join them."
It was a terrifying statement, fearful because it was apparently offered in all sincerity. So who won, I asked? Who won the war that left a million Iranians dead and Tehran suing for peace and Khomeini drinking, in his own words, from a "poison chalice"? He thought about this for a few seconds. "We do not think of winners and losers," he said at last. "I discovered myself in the war, I learned about myself. I learned that I could fight, that I could be prepared for death. I know that we can fight again - against anyone."
The ``anyone'', of course, was America, although Mr Perbovosian was too polite to say so. And you could see how easily the words came to him in a shrine of gold and marble supposed - like other regimes one could think of this century - to last a thousand years, certainly untilBill Clinton and Warren Christopher have been forgotten.

Amy 1/12
Posted in the Chicago Forum
#1 Jan 12, 2013
DEAR AMY: My best friend and I have known each other since we were 5.
We are now 22. Neither one of us has ever been skinny, but where I lost 20 pounds when we started college and kept it off through steady diet and exercise, she is now extremely overweight, and I am becoming concerned about her health. Recently we were going up a flight of steps together. When I got to the top, I realized she was struggling.
I worry about the strain her weight is putting on her heart and the consequences it will have for her health, but Im not sure how I can help her.
We are very close and talk about most everything, but weve never discussed her weight. I feel like I shouldnt say anything unless she brings it up. She is an adult and she obviously knows she is overweight, and can thus decide for herself what (if anything) she wants to do about it.
I dont think its my place to lecture her about her weight. She is busy working multiple jobs. Im not sure how often she cooks her own food. I wish I could see her healthier. Is there anything I can do if she never brings up the subject?-- Best Friend
DEAR FRIEND: Friends ask questions, listen to the answers, tell the truth (kindly) and offer compassionate support. This should not translate into lecturing; this is the intimacy offered by true friendship.
You could initiate a discussion about weight with your friend by saying,Im worried about your health lately. Do you want to talk about weight? You know Ive struggled with this so much, and I might be able to help if you are open to it. At least we can talk about it if you want to.
My own experience is that having an exercise buddy can be transformative. If you and your friend are able to walk regularly together, by springtime you may be able to jog.
DEAR AMY: My brother-in-law is truly over the top. Recently at a party he stuck his finger in my drink and then licked it to see how strong the drink was.
I was speechless, and wonder what the proper response would have been.-- Grossed Out Sister-in-Law
DEAR GROSSED OUT: Sometimes the best response is the first one that occurs to you. This doesnt work if you are truly speechless, but Im never speechless, so here goes:Whoa! That was ... surprising. Do you want this drink? Because Im going to get another one for myself.
DEAR AMY: You ran a letter from Emotional, whose family accused her of having a nasty tone of voice. Your advice was almost right, but rather than asking her family to impersonate her, which I think could quickly devolve into caricatures or mocking rather than accurate impersonations (how many people can actually do an accurate impersonation?), it would be better for her family to record her.
Any smartphone can be a Dictaphone. Whenever she says something in a nasty tone, someone should ask her to repeat herself right away, then play back her comment. I bet shell be shocked at the sound of her own voice.-- Also Emotional
DEAR EMOTIONAL: Your solution is a good one, although asking someone to correct herself in the midst of an emotional moment might also backfire. Thats why I suggested that Emotional should initiate this conversation when she was ready to approach the issue with an open mind and a sense of humor.
But, yes, recordings do not lie, and seeing (or hearing) yourself can be a revelation.
DEAR AMY:Flustered was upset when her husband constantly corrected her in public.
He may have attention deficit disorder. If so, and they can work together, she might be able to signal to him by casually touching her ear as a reminder to him to please listen, not talk.
My poor wife of 50-plus years has suffered the same problem, and this worked for us.-- Chatty Guy
DEAR CHATTY: This is a great suggestion. I expect to see some earnest ear tugging in my own future.

Irish Fest offers plenty of music plus a salute to Brian Boru
What's the secret to the long-running success of Milwaukee's Irish Fest? Favorable August dates? Hardworking volunteers? The secret benevolence of a pooka?
Perhaps it's the way Irish Fest balances the desire to throw a great party with a deep passion for traditional Celtic culture.
This year's festival begins with Thursday evening's budget-friendly Grand Hooley; admission is only $5, or free with a donation of school supplies for children served by Hope House.
Just as Ireland itself is, Irish Fest is commemorating the millennial anniversary of the death of Brian Boru and the Battle of Clontarf in 1014. Boru united regional and clan rulers under his leadership, becoming the emperor of all Ireland. As many others did, Boru died in the Battle of Clontarf, which pitted the armies under his command against those of Dublin and Leinster. A veritable flotilla of scholars and experts is visiting Irish Fest from Counties Clare, Tipperary, Dublin and Armagh for talks and presentations on aspects of Boru's legacy. For example, Seán Duffy, a professor at Trinity College Dublin, will talk about "The Origins of Brian Boru" at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the festival's Hedge School.
Part of Boru's legacy was his rapprochement with Vikings who had already settled in Ireland. Archaeologist Joanne Hughes, an expert on Viking excavations in Ireland, will present a Viking dig site in the festival's Children's Area. She'll be easy to recognize, as she'll be wearing a Viking costume.
Brian Witt, the festival's cultural exhibits co-coordinator and chief wrangler of the Boru celebration, also recommended a re-enactment of events from Boru's life that Sheila Rooney and Ciaran McMahan will present in the Cultural Exhibits Pavilion.
Composer Maurice Lennon and Tennessee's Willis Clan will perform Lennon's musical suite "Brian Boru: The High King of Tara" at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, 4:15 p.m. Friday, 3 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.
Irish Fest offers traditional and traditionally inspired music on more than a dozen stages. Irish music enthusiast Witt offered these suggestions:
■The festival's Scotland Music Showcase includes singer-songwriter, guitarist-fiddler Dougie MacLean, composer of Celtic standard "Caledonia," as well as ALT, a new collaborative group featuring John Doyle (formerly of Solas), Nuala Kennedy and Eamon O'Leary.
■Dónal Lunny and Andy Irvine, leaders of the Irish traditional music world since the '70s through such groups as Planxty, the Bothy Band and Patrick Street, will play several sets together.
■Gráinne Holland, who comes from the Belfast Gaeltacht, or Irish-speaking community, sings in Irish and Scottish Gaelic as well as English.
■Glasgow's Mànran, which made its Irish Fest debut last year, performs traditional Gaelic and English music with a driving rhythm section supporting flute, accordion and pipes.
■Different Drums of Ireland, which has spent more than 20 years bridging the troubled divide in Northern Ireland through percussion, is wrapping up its career as a band with performances at the festival. The group features both the Lambeg drum, a big bass drum associated with Unionists (Protestants), and the bodhrán, associated with Nationalists (Catholics). Members also play the African djembe drum and other percussion instruments.
Popular Irish dog breeds will be displayed, discussed and fussed over in the Celtic Canines area (but please, leave your dog at home). The Hedge School and Literary Corner will offer mental stimulation, while the Gaeltacht will give Irish speakers the opportunity to connect and practice.
Bishop Richard B. Higgins will celebrate Mass at 9:30 a.m. Sunday. Higgins, a native of Longford, Ireland, is vicar for veterans affairs at the Archdiocese for Military Services USA, where he is the leader of more than 270 Catholic chaplains at VA medical centers throughout the United States. Gates open at 8 a.m. People attending the Mass who donate a nonperishable food item will receive free admission to Irish Fest at 11 a.m.

If Mad Max 4 is ever made, it should include a karaoke scene set in this large room, decorated with lots of oxidized metal and glowing green plastic. The lighting goes from dark to darker as the night wears on—all the better to see the video screens (one at each table) as well as a large projection on the wall feeding song selections and lyrics. The karaoke runs until 4am, but the kitchen is only open until 11pm, offering 25 types of sushi rolls and countless noodles and teriyakis. What's madder than gorging on shumai, unagi and spicy tuna while belting out Abba?

By Delani do you mean Delaney? My instinct would be to pronounce Delani De-LAH-nee or DEL-a-nee instead of De-LAY-nee, so I suggest spelling it correctly if that's not what you're going for. Macen sounds like a cleaning product. Ireland isn't a name, it's a place, and if your daughter ever wants to travel in Europe you've basically guaranteed her a miserable time. Samantha is a real name with a solid history, so while it's NMS, I'd say Samantha.Simon, Eloise/Louise, Faye, Judah, Thea, Felix, Iris, Cordelia, Roscoe, Lydia, Jasper, Phaedra, Adrian, Lucinda, Jane, Conrad, Wallace, Finnegan, Sylvie, Charlie, Dashiell, Juniper, Atlas, Matilda, Julian, Alice, Marlowe, Octavia, Jack, Marigold, Archer, Gabriel, Persephone, Raphael, Dov

I'm with the others--Samantha. Chloe and Samantha are lovely together, and with a feminine name like Chloe, and don't think you can really do something as masculine as Macen/Mason, and while I think Chloe and Delaney would be fine, I don't know that Delani works as well. Though popular, I think Chloe still looks classy and beautiful--Delani just looks trendy, and I agree that it might get some pronunciation issues. Chloe and Samantha, though, are lovely together.Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller

A trust is an arrangement whereby someone owns and manages money or property for another person's benefit. Like a guardianship, a trustee has decision-making authority over the trust property, but no court is involved in the trustee's action–the person who creates the trust defines the scope of the trustee's power. There are many different trust types, including probate trusts, income trusts, spendthrift trusts, and educational trusts. For example, a living trust allows you to manage your property while you are alive and to direct who will manage it if you become incapable of doing so. In essence, you choose your own "guardian" in advance and avoid having the court do it for you. A trust attorney reviews the many reasons for establishing a trust with you, and can ensure your trust will be legally valid.

I love the actual knife, but feel the sheath and carry placement lack retention.
KA-BAR TDI Knife Review: Unsafe for Duty | ThinBlueFlorida.com
The Austin PD officer cited in the article very nearly bled out. I rejected the TDI for reasons other than security, but, indeed, wearing a friction-fit weapon so openly, on the front of the belt, is not the brightest idea.
Whenever I cite the Austin incident, the TDI fanboys either shout me down, or ignore me. Ah, well. one can lead a horse to water...
I agree, Rexter. We've come a long way in duty holster technology in the last 25 years since I was a rookie. I wish those advances were applied to some of the police fixed blades I've seen.
We were recently told that we could no longer carry any knives on our belt or have any pocket clips of knives visible.
I carried the small TDI on my inner belt as pictured behind the mags, but moved it due to concerns similar to what was stated in the article. I moved it to sit behind my taser/radio and it was not visible except when looking down from my point of view when wearing it. I could still reach it with either hand to deploy.
We were not told why the change in policy, only told no knives of any kind visible.
I now only carry my SOG trident clipped in my left cargo pants pocket.
If you go and train at TDI you will find that even the instructors there who train with this knife either have ditched the sheath or modified it in some way as to be more concealable while in uniform. The sheath is not the favorite part of the knife.
Rexster, im curious to learn you other reasons for not liking the TDI knife?
I absolutely love this knife, but like others here, do not like the sheath. I've tried to modify the sheath, but that's not my strong suit....
64zebra, we have a similar policy regarding vsibility of knives. The strictness of enforcement has waxed and waned over the years. Presently, pocket-clipped knives seem to cause no comment from supervisors.
limatunes, the TDI is just not my cup of tea. I had already trained with Steve Tarani, and folks who had learned from him, in the use of the karambit. That is enough exotically-shaped cutlery for me. I have trained with several instructors' methods of using straight blades, with the edge in and edge out. The TDI just did not fit my ways of using knives. (Please understand I am no expert or master of anything!)
When I actually tried a friend's TDI, I found myself tending to draw it like a pistol, with my middle finger high against the "trigger guard," with my index finger extended, as if indexing a pistol. The problem there is, with the TDI, there is no trigger
guard there, just blade, so if my index finger were to join my other fingers in gripping the knife, I would then, likely, be cutting myself. I am glad I noticed this at the outset! Rather than train myself to grip a TDI just so, I simply passed on the TDI.
I don't want to derail the thread though.
On the note of drawing it like a gun.. Yeah, that's how it was designed to be. And if it's not your cup of tea, it's not. No biggie.. just curious.
limatunes, I learned to draw with a 1911, and to make sure I depressed the grip safety enough, I needed to achieve a high grip on the weapon, with my middle finger as high on the front strap as possible, and the web of my hand as high up on the tang as possible. This is actually the best way to grip any handgun, to mitigate muzzle flip. This nothing exotic, it looks totally normal, it is just that I might be more conscious than the average person with getting a high grip on the pistol.
With the TDI, if I grip the handle with all of my fingers during the draw, everything is fine, but if I grab it like I would a handgun, with my index finger indexed along the length of the weapon, I am suddenly faced with the need to urgently find a place for the index finger before engaging with the blade. Rather than try to overcome 20-something years of conditioned drawstroke reflex, it seemed better to simply forego the TDI. One exotic weapon, (karambit), plus straight blades, seemed enough.
I may well be the only person in the world who has experienced this problem with the TDI. I am a special child; probably dain bramage; I am a lefty who carries "primary" on my right hip, so I can engage in a gunfight in a restaurant without the need to bother setting my fork on the table
first. (wink!)
it would be sweet if there was a sheath with the ALS from Safariland holsters
Well I would not call myself a TDI fanboy but carried one for years in several different places in the world and never had an issue.
Yep design a different sheath but to call it unfit for duty is rather a broad and unfair statement. If an officer's duty or backup weapon was grabbed and used on him would that weapon now be unfit for duty?
To each their own.

We're holding two hour seminars all about RTI and how it will impact your business. The seminars are available to everyone, whether you're a Sage Customer or new to Sage.
Month: August 2012
Sage One; making online accounts easy
One of the most asked for features by Sage One customers was the ability to import data. So we listened and then we developed it.
Don't rely on Bluebirds!
The current economic situation has many a Sales Manager looking hopefully at the door for that Bluebird deal to come walking in and save them from this quarter's shortfall. There has never been a more challenging time for greater pipeline visibility. Accurate forecast reporting, transparency in the pipeline and clarity overall, helps to drive the sales cycle efficiently through the sales process.
Voluntary work experience at Sage
For the latest edition of our Sage recruitment team blog we thought we'd take a look at Sage's continuing involvement in the Jobcentre Plus voluntary work experience programme. The programme is part of the government's 'get Britain working' initiatives.
Is user adoption the greatest challenge in CRM?
User adoption is often described as the greatest challenge in CRM. But should we accept this comment at face value? Or are there other challenges to successful CRM?
When our customers talk, we listen
In August we launch Sage 50 Accounts 2013 and as MD of the Small Business Division at Sage, this is the most exciting time of the year.

MSc Food Security and Sustainable Agriculture
There has never been a more urgent need to train scientists in the area of food security, equipped with skills in agronomy; plant pathology, plant disease and plant genetics; and knowledge of modern agricultural systems and agricultural policy. The Royal Society report Reaping the Benefits: science and the sustainable intensification of global agriculture published in October 2009, provided the clearest evidence of the challenge of ensuring global food security during the next 50 years. Crop yields need to rise significantly, but in a manner that requires much lower dependency on chemical intervention and fertilizers.
Meeting the challenge of sustainable agriculture
This programme was developed in collaboration with the agricultural industry, government agencies including Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (defra) and The Food and Environment Research Agency (fera), and farmers and food manufacturers, to provide a multi-disciplinary training in sustainable agriculture and global food security. Research-led teaching in molecular plant pathology, plant sciences and microbiology is strongly supplemented by Rothamsted Research expertise in grassland management, soil science and sustainable farming systems. Leading social scientists also provide valuable input in rural land use and the rural economy. The combination of expertise in both arable and pastureland systems ensures a truly rounded learning experience.
The curriculum takes account of the key skills shortages in the UK to train highly skilled individuals who can enter government agencies, agriculture and food industries and fulfil very valuable roles in scientific research, advice, evaluation, policy development and implementation tackling the challenges of food security. The programme provides opportunities to gain industrial and practical experiences including field trips.
Entry requirements
Normally at least a 2:1 Honours degree or equivalent in biological science or relevant subject. Consideration will be given to appropriate professional background on a case-by-case basis involving an interview.
If you are an international student, please contact us for more information.
You will also need to satisfy our English language entry requirements.
Fees for academic year 2015/16
- £9,300 (full-time)
- £4,650 (part-time)
- £18,600 (full-time)
This school offers programs in:
- English

You bought your Matrix because its best-in-class value and driver satisfaction appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? Auto enthusiasts appreciate the a variety of features and options built into each Toyota, and know that only the highest quality repair Matrix parts will suffice when repairs are needed. Anyone who operates a Toyota knows that when it comes to fixing their vehicle only the highest quality replacement parts will do. Make no mistake, you bought your Matrix because you wanted to buy long-lasting quality and dependability both impeccably combined into one car, truck, or SUV.
Your car or truck has a liquid-cooled engine, and the device that controls the flow of coolant so that the engine can remain cool is your thermostat. On start-up, the thermostat remains closed; bypassing the flow of coolant through your radiator. This gets the coolant hot so that the engine warms up. Once it reaches the right temperature, your Toyota Matrix thermostat then opens up and allows the coolant into the radiator. Now your coolant is part of a constant cycle in your Toyota Matrix engine that keeps it within a specific range of temperatures that are ideal for engine performance... all thanks to the thermostat.
Bring your Matrix back to life with the best repair parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the hassles associated with repairing damage to your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make buying it easy. Don't let a Thermostats repair spell the end of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality replacement parts.

The Fight
For a moment Xavier almost panicked. He was completely surrounded by threatening painted figures and for a second he was a child again, cowed and afraid in the playground and at home. But it didn't last long; he pulled himself upright and curled his lip in a contemputous sneer.
"They're paintings. What can they do?"
"More than ye think, ye great useless cretin!" Henry bellowed, drawing his claymore. Xavier laughed-and then the tip of the heavy Scottish sword was pricking his neck, and laughing was a hazardous exercise. Cold sweat sprang out on his forehead, and more fear than he'd felt for a long time formed a chilling knot in his stomach.
He hadn't realised that the paintings could reach out of their canvas.
It wasn't done often, that was true. If you're made of mere coloured pigments you're quite fragile, and there are drawbacks to being only two dimensional. But whether or not it was a 'real' sword, it was still quite capable of killing him. Images of objects took on more of the object's nature than many people realised.
"Now," Archie said slowly, shuffling forwards and meeting Xavier's ghostly white eyes with his own bright, angry brown ones. "Are you going to be sensible or are we going to have to do this the hard way?"
From somewhere within his fear Xavier managed to dredge up a smirk. His sweaty fingers slipped on Babbo's gilded frame and he almost dropped the heavy painting, causing it to squawk in protest. Archie winced at the sight, and Xavier's smirk widened. He wouldn't want his precious paintings to get hurt.
"If you try and fight me," he said, fighting to keep his voice level, "I'll hurt you more than you'll hurt me."
"Wanna bet?" one of the army members growled. He'd come from a painting of first world war soldiers in the trenches, and was armed with a rifle; as he spoke, he put it to his shoulder, aimed and pulled the trigger.
It was sheer luck for Xavier that he'd never actually fired his rifle before, and the aim was off. As it was the breeze from the painted bullet ruffled the thief's pale blonde hair as it passed, hitting the wall with a 'pock', inches from smacking into flesh and bone. The shock made Xavier's fingers slip once again, and this time he lost his grip entirely; Babbo slid to the floor, shrieking, and fell face-down on the tiled floor. Archie lurched forwards to try and save it, and as though that had been some kind of signal the entire army launched itself forwards, swords, axes and all, and piled on top of the would-be thief. Archie, dragging himself and Babbo away from the commotion, became suddenly anxious that murder would be committed in his museum. He didn't want a dead body on his hands, and he wasn't a killer by nature; even someone like Xavier deserved a second chance to redeem himself.
And Victoria had loved him, once.
"Don't kill him! Don't kill him!"
There was no way to tell if he'd been heard; it was absolute bedlam in the corridor. The yells and cries of the fighting paintings mingled with the screams and shouts of encouragement from the spectators, and Xavier's howls were audible in their somewhere. It seemed that for all his supernatural silence and inhuman abilities, he could still feel pain. Lots of pain.
Eventually, the fight started to subside. The fighters, some of them looking alarmingly tattered, began to scurry back to the safety of their canvasses; Archie spotted several with missing limbs, and it pained him. He had never meant to get his beloved companions badly hurt. He'd hoped that Xavier would see sense and give up when confronted by Henry's army; he'd never thought that the man would be stupid enough to continue defiance.
Or that his army would be so keen to get their hands on him.
Most of the army had returned to their paintings by now. Only Henry, who seemed to have escaped serious injury, and a man with a bristling moustache and a jungle helmet remained, guarding Xavier. The thief was stretched out on the floor, bleeding and ominously still. Archie regarded him anxiously.
"Is he dead?"
"Naw, we left 'im alive," Henry said contemptuously. "But he ain't gonna be doin' anything ta paintin's fer a while, or mah name ain't Henry o'Scotland!"
"I'm sure he'll steer well clear," Archie agreed, regarding the young man's rather battered body with some distaste. "But what are we going to do with him now?"

I remember a time...
A short stoy to sum up how I was feeling the other day.
I remember a time... when you spent every minute of everyday trying to get my attention. Mt phone was ringing off the hook, with you wanting me. The times when we sat and talked about everything. The day you first opened up to me and told me about your past. You told me what you wanted from the future and subtely hinted that you wanted me to be a part of it.
I remember a time... when we realised that the feelings we had been fighting, no longer needed to be fought. The night we stayed up talking about how confused we were before everything was revealed. Our first kiss down by the river. The one kiss that literally took my breath away. You sitting under the old oak tree, saying how wrong it was based on the current situation. Me not caring because it felt so right.
I remember a time... when we wanted our lives to stay this way forever. We were completely content in each others arms and apart was the last place we wanted to be. So in love that nothing or no-one else mattered. When each other eyes were the best sight and each others skin was the best touch. If it was just me and you for the rest of our lives, it would have been perfect.
But living in the past is not an option and our lives have changed since that time. You may now just see me as the one to run to when no-one's listening, but I used to be the first one you called. You may now want to let other people in, but in doing that you are slowly pushing me out. Whilst we are no longer just friends, it was friendship that first bought us together. And I don't want either of us to forget.

A series of new state-of-the-art satellites due to be launched by the European Space Agency will provide the insurance industry with large amounts of new and unique data that will be invaluable to insurers underwriting certain types of risks including some energy and marine business.
That was the conclusion of a recent blog posted by Fiona Shaw, executive director of Willis Global Analytics. She said that the new Sentinel satellites will bring a huge increase in both the volume and quality of useful information available to underwriters and risk managers.
What is more, technological advancements, such as cloud computing, mean that the industry is well equipped to understand this information and put it to good use. "The key will be the industry's ability to turn all of this new data into useful insights to inform risk based decision making," she wrote.
The first of the new satellites is due to be launched in 2013. The information provided by this satellite, Sentinel 1, will allow marine underwriters to better understand and map sea ice and detect the exact position of vessels more easily. It will also improve the ability of energy underwriters to monitor oil spills.
Meanwhile, the industry's growing awareness of the opportunities space and satellite business can offer was reflected in the announcement by Aon that, in collaboration with the Space Expedition Corporation, it has designed a unique insurance policy for space travellers.
"Our partnership ensures that all those participating in the Space Expedition Corporation programme will have comprehensive coverage during their preparatory training and eventual space travel," said Jeff Poliseno, chief executive officer of Aon Risk Solutions' International Space Brokers Practice.

Ben's Thoughts
I woke up this morning, knowing at once that something was wrong. The light coming in through the window seemed normal, but was it just me or was there less of it than usual?
A crackle of lightning made me sit bolt upright. The curtains seemed to glow for a minute. Had the house been hit?
I decided to go and check it out ...

With all this war stuff going on I picked up my old high school bible and started to read all the end times things.
This really got me reading a lot so I decided to start at the beginning now that I have been through the end. but I wonder how Adam and Eve who had all sons. How did their sons have children and with what women?
And then If Noah took himself and his sons and of course all those animals how did his sons have kids as I didn't read about any women coming with them on the ark?
And how did those folks live hundreds of years like that? I hope these aren't stupid questions but the end times makes much more sense to me than the beginning times so far.
Thanks in advance for your time and God bless. I like this site and have saved it to my favorites so I can read more here. Thank you for this site.
Genesis 5:4 says that Adam lived for 800 years and had other sons and daughters besides Cain, Abel, and Seth. Through out Genesis 5, the other patriarchs are all described as having sons and daughters other than those named in the narrative. The earliest families involved the marriage of sisters to their brothers, and later of cousins to each other.
Genesis 7:13 says that when Noah and their 3 sons entered the Ark, their wives entered with them.
The reason that early humans lived so long is that when God created the Earth, He put a water vapor barrier around the Earth in the upper atmosphere, (Genesis 1:6-7) that kept the most harmful ultra violet rays from entering our atmosphere and contaminating the cellular regeneration process. This allowed the body's cells to replenish themselves for much longer periods of time.
At the time of the Great Flood the water vapor barrier collapsed onto Earth (Genesis 7:11). Together with the fountains of the deep and the rain that fell, enough water was produced to cover the entire Earth.
After the flood, the absence of this barrier caused lifespans to be shortened dramatically, allowing Shem, one of Noah's sons, to out live 9 of the first 10 generations born after the flood. Life spans continued to shorten until finally stabilizing at around 70 years, less than 1/10th of their original duration.

a letter to the daughter I'll never have (part ii)Mature
I see your face sometimes. I see your big, dark eyes. I see your long, tangled hair. I know you'd laugh at all the right things. I see the fingerprints of your messes. I see the traces of you I would find when you've long gone. Sometimes I feel the rhythm of your heartbeat in my dreams.
But this is not a world to leave you, these are not the people I could ask you to save. Whatever emptiness is inside of me when I feel your absence is a fair price to keep you out of this place. You deserve better, more than this mess we've left for you.

A critical but often overlooked component of silver nanoparticle (AgNPs) suspensions involves their behavior following short- and long-term storage. The current study investigates the integrity of citrate-capped AgNP suspensions, nominally 20 nm in diameter, in a series of distinct storage conditions, based on possible combinations of reasonable decisions researchers make, both nanoparticle-based (AgNP and relative citrate concentration) and environmental-based (solution oxygenation and ambient light or dark). AgNP integrity was determined by monitoring single particle stability, aggregation/agglomeration, and oxidation for 104 d. We demonstrate that AgNP suspensions lose their physical and chemical integrity by two distinct processes, 1. oxidation only (light-independent) and 2. oxidation followed by photo-reduction (light-dependent), after initial dilution from a concentrated (and newly synthesized) AgNP stock solution. Based on optical spectroscopy, the effects of oxidation readily observed while the effects of photo-reduction are less obvious, leading to a greater increase in particle diameter, the formation of new, metallic nanoparticles and the oxidation of the parent citrate capping agent. In general, the overall integrity of citrate-capped AgNP suspensions was best maintained when these solutions are stored at the highest AgNP and citrate concentrations studied in the dark following purging with nitrogen gas. This study outlines an implementable strategy for both assessing and monitoring the overall integrity of AgNP suspensions in an effort to harmonize long-term experiments and inter-laboratory consistency.

The Tokyo Marathon may be the biggest race happening in Japan on Feb. 28, but three other elite races also fall the same day. The most major of these is the Kumanichi 30 km Road Race in Kumamoto, Kyushu. The world's most competitive race at this distance, Kumanichi was until the last fall the site of the men's 30 km world record. In the field for this year's race are former marathon national record holder Atsushi Fujita (Team Fujitsu), steeplechase national record holder Yoshitaka Iwamizu (Team Fujitsu), 2009 Ome 30 km winner Hirokatsu Kurosaki (Team Konica Minolta), Komazawa University ace Tsuyoshi Ugachi and New Year Ekiden winner Team Nissin Shokuhin member Bene Zama. The elite women's field is limited to three and is led by Chiharu Matsuo (Team Kyudenko).
Further north in Aichi, the Inuyama Half Marathon has an interesting matchup between pro and university runners. Three members of 2009 and 2010 Hakone Ekiden winner Toyo University's squad, two-time anchor Ryo Takami, Yu Chiba and Shogo Otsu, lead the university side, while four members of Team Toyota Boshoku hope to follow up on teammate Yusei Nakao's win last year. The elite women's field is split between the 10 km and half marathon distances but features nationally-competitive runners in each. An elite entry list has not been released for the 59th Kashima Yutoku Half Marathon, but the race, one of Japan's oldest, is perpetually one of the country's most competitive half marathons. JRN will bring you complete results for all three races.

Drama and Theatre Studies
Qualification:A Level
Duration:2 years
Curriculum Manager:
Nicola Kingsley
What is A Level Drama and Theatre Studies?
Drama and Theatre Studies is a practical, intellectual and artistic subject. You will be expected to explore the structural elements of theatre from the page to the stage. In order to be successful and enjoy this subject, you will need to have a keen interest in the history of drama and study the practitioners, theatrical forms and conventions that make theatre such a compelling and exciting subject. You must be able to analyse and critically deconstruct the work you study, create and witness. It is recommended that students have achieved a C in GCSE Drama and English.
Is Drama suitable for me?
Current Drama students have stated that they find A Level drama exciting and challenging with an excellent mix of both practical and theory work. Students find the productions they work on in both years highly rewarding. Also, if a student clearly has design skills, these can be evaluated and considered for concentrated study when productions take place.
You must be prepared to put in the extra time that is required, outside of class, for rehearsals when in productions. There is a large workload so you need to be very organised and have an extremely dedicated and conscientious approach in order to be successful in both your practical and written work.
How will I learn?
Lessons are a healthy combination of practical learning supported by the necessary academic theory needed to understand the work being studied. Learning takes place through the following: practical workshops, researching background material on a playwright, written research (social/cultural/historical), rehearsal of a production, participating in improvisation, devised work and class discussion. These methods increase understanding of the subject and provide more detail and substance to the students work.
The style of homework varies according to the unit of exam work. Research, essay writing and rehearsals are all integral to the course. 4 to 5 hours of private study per week are expected in addition to timetabled lessons. This can, at times, all be taken up with external rehearsals.
How will I be assessed?
Component 1: Devising (*Component Code: 9DR0/01)
