Take Two # 35: Reflections on College
By Kyra-lin Hom
A couple weeks ago, my uncle (with two daughters in high school right now) asked my boyfriend and I what we would have done differently in college. I think my aunt and uncle were hoping that, since we've both had a year to reflect upon our undergraduate decisions, their daughters would at least listen to us. The question led to a brief discussion and then we all moved on. But even weeks later, the question has stuck with me.
Late April of this year, the American Post announced that over 53% of recent college graduates were unemployed. Many of those that were employed were working jobs that didn't require a college education such as minimum wage waitressing or retail. Add on that in 2011 the average graduating college student owed over $23,000 in student loans (10% of students owed over $54,000 and 3% owed over $100,000) – a number that tuition inflation is only increasing – and it becomes apparent that this is an intimidating time to be young in the US.
To put things in perspective, in Quebec college students have been on strike from school since February 13th in protest of Premier Jean Charest's proposal to increase university tuition from $2,168 to $3,793 over the next 5 years. Just pause here. Think about those numbers. Okay, now you can move on.
Well, this is a near 75% jump compared to American universities' increase of only 5.6% between 2011 and 2012. But that itty bitty US increase bumps the average US tuition fee up to between $20,000 and $25,000 per year ($15-$20,000 for public and $30-35,000 for private). At this rate, a 4-year college education will cost about $350,000 by 2028. I mean, go Canadian students for having a spine, but I'd take that $3,793 rate over my alma matter's $40,000+ any day.
All right, you get it, college is gouge-your-eyes-out expensive and hardly worth it just to qualify for holding a mattress ad on a street corner. So what do you do? What does this mean for incoming college freshmen? And I do still this that going to college is a good idea. After asking around, here's what me and mine have come up with.
Starting day one freshmen orientation, you are going to have advisers, professors, etc. telling you to follow your dreams. They are going to say that you shouldn't study what you think will make you money, you should study what you love. To this I say fair enough, but remember that you are going to have to survive in the outside world after the college cloister is over. For these 'adults,' their lives revolve around college. Advisers are likely working at their alma matter and professors live and breathe their academic worlds – this is why they are qualified to teach you. Unless you want that for yourself, you're going to have to think of the bigger picture.
I was in the Honors Program in college, as were a lot of my friends. We were almost all double majors or major-minors or some other, equally academically impressive combination. Only a small handful of us got it right. For the record, I don't think I was one of them. These 'right' people doubled in, for example, film production and engineering or graphic design and business. These are combinations that straddle the line between the artistic and commercial. Another great combo would have been philosophy and mathematics, straddling liberal academics and the sciences. It's not just about studying the material, it's about having the evidence that you did on paper.
I didn't do that. I didn't just double major, I double degreed in screenwriting and East Asian studies, thinking I was going to get my doctorate in some East Asian field without really thinking through what that meant. That is probably my biggest regret about my college career, weighing too heavily to one side of the education spectrum. Had I been thinking, I would have dumped the East Asian studies degree and picked up marketing or business. After all, I can still learn about Asia without taking a bunch of classes. That is what books and electives are for.
So advice for incoming freshman? Unless you plan on pursuing a career as a researcher or college professor, only listen to their career advice with half an ear. Yes, study what you love. But if what you love is on the list of "25 college majors with the highest unemployment rates," pick something practical to go with it. You'll thank me later, I promise. And to parents of high schoolers, you're welcome.

Finally the day dawned when a monopoly owned everything in the
So it went looking for its stockholders to celebrate
But they were all owned by it they were all dead they were
Their photographs hung in elevators which went up and down up and
down carrying nobody
Everyone else was in bed doing exercises to get in shape for noon
Hey the monopoly said let's uncork the World Trade Center and get
The monopoly scowled
All it wanted was a little good-fellowship, like you get in the
highrise apartment-buildings
Then the sky got awful dark
And everyone was in bed frantically doing those exercises that get us in
shape for death
Exercises known as "kissing" "fucking" "caressing"
Everyone was unaware that they had been bought
Or that the earth was about to sell them to the moon
For a little light

Daily Caller's Feehery decries President Obama's Nixonian use of first names
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
In a Daily Caller column, John Feehery complains about Barack Obama addressing members of Congress by their first names:
He called the Speaker "Nancy," the Senate Majority Leader "Harry," the Senate Republican Leader "Mitch," and his vanquished opponent "John."
When "Mitch" complained that the president and the Democrats had hogged most of the time, Mr. Obama said, with studied insouciance, "That's right Mitch, I am the president," implying that because he is the president that he can do whatever he wants to do.
That statement should set off alarm bells among the president's advisers. Actually, presidents can't do whatever they want to do. Richard Nixon proved that point.
Yeah, calling Mitch McConnell "Mitch" is just like Watergate. One day you're calling someone named "Mitch" "Mitch," and the next you're talking about fire-bombing Brookings. Happens every time.
Strangely, though, Feehery didn't mention President Obama's predecessor, who referred to members of congress not only by their first names, but bestowed nicknames on them:
President Bill Clinton never used to refer to Representative George Miller, a rather bulky Democrat from California, as Big George.
But there is a new tenant in the Oval Office these days, and President Bush has brought with him his own signature style. That means nicknames, even for a liberal Democrat like Mr. Miller. It means levity. It means bipartisan backslapping and Texas-style folksiness.
the dozens of lawmakers who have paraded up the White House driveway this week for small-group meetings with Mr. Bush are beginning to get a taste of his legendary charm.
''Hey, Big George,'' Mr. Bush said to Mr. Miller when the congressman joined other lawmakers in Austin before the inauguration to discuss educational policy. Mr. Miller returned to the White House this week and learned that the nickname had stuck.
Mr. Bush now refers to Representative Fred Upton, a Michigan Republican, as Freddy Boy. Other such monikers are sure to follow.
Of course, it is nothing new for new presidents to stroke Congressional egos. Lyndon B. Johnson and Gerald R. Ford, two Congressional graduates who made it to the White House, engaged in their own unique versions of it. And Mr. Bush's father, a former member of Congress himself, used to call lawmakers by their first names and insist that they call him George.

Irina Shayk
Irina Shayk (real name Shaykhlislamova), sometimes credited as Irina Sheik, was born on Jan 6, 1986 in a small town called Emanzhelisk, it's in Ural. Irina Sheik is a fashion model that has worked for Victoria's Secret and other major brands.
Gathering his famous friends together once more to garner support for a cause close to his heart, Sir Elton John hosted the 23rd Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party in Los Angeles, California on Sunday night (February 22).
The "Bennie & the Jets" hitmaker was joined by husband David Furnish as the pair welcomed a lineup of stars including Miley Cyrus, Heidi Klum, Nina Dobrev and Aaron Paul.
Always one of the most well attended fetes during Hollywood's biggest night, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party continued to live up to its reputation on Sunday (February 22).
Hosted by Graydon Carter at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, top names like Natalie Portman, Sofia Vergara, Emma Stone and Beyoncé were among the celebrities ringing in the 20th anniversary of the exclusive Academy Awards soiree.
Eat your heart out, Cristiano Ronaldo! Newly-single Irina Shayk displays her tanned and toned bikini body in the 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
The brunette beauty makes her 9th appearance in the mag, showing off her sun-kissed skin and soft wavy hair on the beaches of Kauai, Hawaii. Supermodel Hannah Davis may be the cover girl for the new issue, but Irina, who poses in a series of colorful bikinis and scuba tops, is clearly giving her a run for her money!
They're getting ready to roll out the much-anticipated 2015 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and this year's gorgeous models made their way to Manhattan's Marquee nightclub for a big celebration last night (February 10).
Cover girl Hannah Davis was breathtaking in her sparkly getup as she mingled with fellow posers Ashley Graham, Ashley Smith, Emily Ratajkowski, Gigi Hadid, Erin Heatherton, Lily Alridge, Jessica Gomes, Chrissy Teigen, Irina Shayk and Nina Agdal.
The internet went nuts when Hannah Davis' cover shot went live last week, and now Sports Illustrated has released the list of models slated to grace the pages of the 2015 Swimsuit Issue.
Along with Robyn Lawley, the first plus-size model to appear in the publication, SI brought in stunners like Erin Heatherton, Gigi Hadid, Nina Agdal, Irina Shayk, and Lily Alridge.
Look what you're missing, Cristiano Ronaldo! Just weeks after her split from the footballer, Irina Shayk is flaunting her famous face (and long legs) for footwear brand Xti Shoes.
Once again, the former Victoria's Secret model teamed up with male model Stephen James for the steamy shoot. The tanned and toned pair showcases the brand's latest sandals collection, which include platform, flat, and heel styles.
She's single and ready to mingle, so it's no wonder Irina Shayk looked so flirty at the launch party for Playtech at Gilgamesh in London last night (February 3).
The 29-year-old Russian supermodel was all smiles as she worked the arrivals area in a delightful denim dress with red heels and a matching clutch.
As two of the most beautiful people on the planet, Irina Shayk and Cristiano Ronaldo seemed like the picture perfect match.
However per a statement from the Real Madrid soccer stud, the longtime romance has run out and they're both back on the market. Ronaldo declared, "After dating for five years, my relationship with Irina Shayk has come to an end. We believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now."
The gifts are still coming from LOVE magazine, as Irina Shayk is the sexy star of Day 26 of the Advent Calendar.
The Russian beauty does a sultry striptease for the camera while a workout video voiceover states, "You have to stretch out every muscle in your body. Remember your breathing. As soon as we've finished this, you'll be able to jump outside and run around the block." From there, Irina proceeds to shake her hips and tease her magnificent posterior as she completes a saucy exercise routine.
Regardless of the season, Irina Shayk has a way of making pretty much any clothing collection look absolutely fabulous.
The gorgeous Russian supermodel stars in SuiteBlanco's Winter 2014 spread, though instead of bikinis, she sports black dresses and knit sweaters.

Useful information for my fellow gardeners that haven't heard from me in a while: The good things diatomaceous earth (DE) does for your garden. And i promise i will try to stay in touch more regularly. i have so many blogs that i haven't published because i get caught up in random things around the homestead. i just need to set aside a certain time everyday to at least talk about one thing i've screwed up, or better yet, learned to make more efficient.
So today has been quite chilly, as we have this bizarre May cold front. So i'm painting pickets in my living room on a tarp, in front of a fire. Seriously, a fire in May to warm the house up, in Texas. Global warming, what?…
Anyways, in the past i had only used DE to help get rid of pesky creepy crawlies that kill the food growing in my garden. i don't know if it's normal garden behavior for others, but when my kale, for example among other plants, start to bolt when it gets warm, there are these nasty, tiny bugs that destroy the poor plants. i don't compost those. So after i pull them up and throw them away, i always put DE in those areas of the garden in case there are more of those gross little things in the soil. But DE does more than kill unwanted insects.
DE is fossilized shells of tiny water-dwelling organisms called diatoms which, when ground, have microscopically fine, sharp edges. Diatomite is a natural lethal powder for garden pests who digest or contact it. The razor-sharp dust damages the exoskeleton and causes internal lacerations once consumed, but is perfectly harmless for us humans. Awesome! Keep in mind, that it only works when it's dry, so if you use it for pest contol, make sure not to water for a few days.
But DE is even cooler because it's made of trace minerals not normally found in fertilzers, like magnesium, calcium, copper, boron, sodium, iron, titanium and manganese. These substances add life to plants by feeding the microorganisms living in the soil. The only thing i've found, besides compost, that adds these nutrients to your soil is Azomite. i do really like Azomite, but DE adds the nutrients and acts as a pest control. And it's cheaper.
Plus, it also has the benefit of acting as a natural mulch. One of the most important things you can do to maintain your garden is MULCH. DE increases aeration and water flow in your soil. And it boosts irrigation efficiency by absorbing three times its weight in water. So you can use it in addition to mulch around your entire garden to decrease water usage. Which is important here in zone 8, when we have droughts during the hottest part of the summer.
We have a complete void of progressive politics in this country right now. The will of the people goes ignored and unrealized. I'm searching for the people that can enter the political system, a strong third party. We need to consolidate. ~Ani Difranco

/// NBC Hits the High Notes With The Sound of Music Live!
The corridors of 30 Rock on Friday morning were alive with the sound of cheering, as NBC's live staging of a 54-year-old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical delivered Alpine ratings. According to Nielsen fast national data, NBC's three-hour presentation of The Sound of Music Live! delivered 18.5 million total viewers and a hearty 4.6 in the adults 18-49 demo, giving the network its first definitive Thursday night entertainment win in nearly five years. Starring Carrie Underwood as Maria von Trapp and True Blood's Stephen Moyer as the imperious Capt. von Trapp, The Sound of Music did predictably big numbers among the 50+ set, averaging a 10.3 rating from 8-11 p.m. But younger viewers also tuned in, as the broadcast notched a 4.3 rating among adults 18-34 and pulled a 3.9 with the 12-34 set. The show peaked early, averaging 19.7 million viewers and a 5.0 in the dollar demo at 8:30 p.m. That said, the overall retention was impressive, as 17 million viewers stayed glued to the screen until the curtain went down at 11 p.m. While the musical's deliveries were reminiscent of the glory days of the Must See TV era, NBC actually enjoyed a huge Thursday night victory a week ago. On low-HUT level Thanksgiving night, the Peacock dominated the field with a holiday NFL game—the Steelers-Ravens bloodbath averaged 21.1 million live-plus-same-day viewers and a 6.9 in the demo. The Sound of Music Live! was punctuated by commercial breaks, including five pods that were sponsored by Walmart. Each 30-second Walmart spot reprised a popular song from the musical that had just played during the actual broadcast. For example, an ad scored by

The second-tier fixtures scheduled for Sunday have been spread between Saturday and Monday to enable Ghanaians to support the Black Stars
According to the Division One League board chairman, Ntow Fianko, it is a step in the right direction to shift the games so that the Black Stars will get the needed attention in Ghana.
"The Division One League games were due to be played on Sunday, but the time which is 16.00 GMT coincides with the Ghana - DR Congo game," he told Asempa Sports.
"We have shifted all the games to Saturday with two on Monday which includes the King Solomon vs Red Bull game."
Fianko added: "This will help people to watch the Ghana game and we will all give the country our support."

These days it requires a scorecard to keep track of the situation in Lebanon. Shiites in Iran are influencing Lebanon politics as are Sunni Syrians while Sunni Egypt and Saudi Arabia are supporting the Lebanon government. Arab foreign ministers gathered in Cairo in an attempt to sort out the situation which has paraylzed the Lebanese government. The Arab League issued a statement which implicity is critical of Hizbullah and made clear "the ministers reject the principle of resorting to armed violence to achieve political ends." The Arab League would like to send a delegation to Lebanon but the Beirut airport is closed since all roads leading out of it are blocked by Hizbullah forces.
Saudi Arabia and Egypt are unable to play key roles because of their close association with the Lebanese government. Syria can not play a part in resolving the situation because it has close ties with Hizbullah and has helped to create the current chaos. Iran hovers in the background attempting to portray itself as being innocent for the conflict even though its support for Hizbullah is a key factor in what has happened.
It is possible the once powerful Arab League can play a role– provided it can even get into the country.

Sheheen Again Calls On Haley To Fire DSS Director
State Sen. Vincent Sheheen is again calling on Gov. Nikki Haley to fire her director at South Carolina's Department of Social Services, following last week's death of a 5-month-old baby the agency was notified about last month but couldn't find.
Sheheen said Haley should immediately fire DSS Director Lillian Koller, repeating a statement he made six weeks ago.
Haley's campaign spokesman says it's shameful her Democratic opponent is politicizing an innocent child's death.
Sheheen's news conference follows media reports DSS was notified March 3 that a baby with a heart issue wasn't receiving proper medical care. Agency officials say they could not find the family until Friday, three days after the child died.
An agency spokeswoman says the family was transient and could not be located despite repeated attempts.

The Chevrolet Volt was named "Best Engineered Vehicle of 2011" by the readers and editors of SAE International's Automotive Engineering International (AEI) magazine.
SAE International is a global association of more than 128,000 engineers and related technical experts in the aerospace, automotive and commercial-vehicle industries. For a group of engineers to name a car the "best engineered" is prestigious indeed.
The announcement was made during the SAE 2011 World Congress, which ends today, and began on April 12, in Detroit, Mich.
"The selection of the Volt as the 2011 Best Engineered Vehicle by our peers is an honor," said Doug Parks, vehicle line executive for the Chevrolet Volt. "This award validates the hard work and effort of the engineering team to deliver a truly transformational vehicle."
The Volt just keeps on winning awards.
This is the eleventh year of the AEI "Best Engineered Vehicle" award.
The SAE said it gave the Volt its top honor based on the Volt's innovative engineering that resulted in it becoming the world's first electric vehicle with extended range capability.
"Complementing its groundbreaking propulsion system," the SAE said, "the Volt offers an equally revolutionary design that emphasizes a wheels-out, body-in stance to make a dynamic and sleek statement."
Further, GM's aerodynamicists were credited with wind tunnel work that shaped the Volt's design as the most aerodynamic vehicle in Chevrolet's history.
"By reducing the energy needed to overcome air resistance, the vehicle's sleek design contributes an estimated eight miles of electric range and up to 40 miles of extended range," the SAE said.
The Volt won over the Nissan Leaf, BMW 5 Series, Kia Optima and Volkswagen Jetta among others. The SAE membership and AEI's editorial team selected the Volt based "on the same criteria typically used in vehicle development programs: commonality, flexibility, cost, innovation, package efficiency, powertrain performance, chassis systems, interior accommodations, occupant safety and engineering benchmark."

About Me
I'm interested in working with a broad range of artists with various styles and influences, in hopes of developing and evolving my own art. Though I'm not a traditionally attractive male, I've been told that I'm rather photogenic. Portraying myself as an unusual or extreme character is natural to me, and the performer in me always comes through in my poses. Like my name I a million shades between black and white, this goes for my opinions and ideas as well as my character palette. Grey Alexander is an archetypalgrey and is equal 418 and is in Abrah-Adabra the word of the new aeon.
There's a pretty good sample of my expressions / moods that I prefer to embody in my gallery, of course I'm always willing to push my limits and expand my horizons, so long as I don't wind up playing shiny khaki shell. So... I prefer to keep my expressions in the somber tone, or some mixturue of neutrality, ennui, apathy, fear, paranoia, or psychosis.

Licensed doctors of optometry are independent primary health care providers who examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases and disorders of the visual system, the eye and associated structures. The scope of optometric care ranges from vision testing and correction to diagnosing, managing and treating complex eye and vision problems such as conjunctivitis.
The Board of Registration in Optometry licenses all new optometrists, and renews licenses for established optometrists. The Board both proposes and reviews legislation, as well as new rules and regulations, affecting the profession. It maintains high standards in the field and protects consumers by investigating and disposing of complaints against optometrists. It also works to maintain the educational standards of the profession by reviewing and either approving or rejecting continuing education and post graduate courses for Massachusetts licensees

As work/life benefits have become mainstream, organizations have shifted their administration from stand-alone work/life departments to their employee benefits specialists.
The good news is that the same management skills that contribute to an outstanding comp or benefits program also make for the best work/life programs.
If you've inherited your organization's work/life programs (or soon will), apply the lessons you have learned about good data and clear objectives as a comp and benefits pro to work/life. First, I'll offer three cautions:
- Forget the stereotypes about work/life benefits. Such benefits are not primarily for women or even for parents. Employees of every age, marital status and gender are candidates for flexible schedules, telework, convenience services and other work/life benefits.
- Avoid making a laundry list of programs you might implement. First yo...(register to read more)

wikiHow to Repair a Broken Lipstick
If your lipstick has broken off but it's still in good shape overall, or if your lipstick has melted in your car and is not in good shape, it is worth trying to repair it rather than throwing it away. There is a system available to repair a broken or melted lipstick using a lipstick mold that allows you to re-create a professionally shaped lipstick and put it back into your own twist-up tube. Start with Step 1 to save your favorite lip color!
1Prepare a clean workspace. Place paper towels on the workspace area.
2Wear clear gloves. Use the thin, disposable gloves to enable ease of movement.
3Remove the broken piece. If it hasn't already fallen off, remove it with the gloved hand.
4Stand the base of the lipstick upright on the workspace. Swivel it up as far as possible.
5Take a match or a lighter. Carefully run the lit match or lighter underneath the base of the broken part of the lipstick. Slightly melt the area that the broken piece will be attached to as well. Take care not to burn the lipstick or melt the case.
6Pick up the broken piece in your gloved hand and attach gently to the base of the lipstick.
7Seal the edges. Use a toothpick or the end of a clean match to gently move the sides of the lipstick together and seal the stick as one piece.
8Put the lipstick in the refrigerator for about half an hour or until cooled completely.[1]
9Throw away the paper towels and any resulting mess. Your lipstick is now ready to use as usual.
Community Q&A
Will a hair dryer work to melt it?wikiHow ContributorYes, but be careful not to have it on high because the product will get everywhere. Keep the blow dryer a couple of inches away to get an even melt.
Is it ok not to put it in the refrigerator?GwackIt most likely would not set properly, as it needs to be chilled to get it's full shape and texture back.
Will this work for Winky Lux lipstick?As long as the lipstick itself isn't too soft when it's in its regular state, I'd say it's probably able to withstand this. If when applying the lipstick normally, the heat of your lips practically melts the lipstick, then it's too soft.
Will this work for foundation sticks?wikiHow ContributorYes.
- [1] See video demonstration how to fix a broken or melted lipstick using a lipstick mold included in a repair system.
- Some people advise using a tissue to work with the lipstick. This is good in a fix, as it is likely to be easily available. However, the gloves are cleaner and will not stick to the lipstick as a tissue might, so if you can use the gloves over a tissue, do so.[2]
- Lipstick that has very little base left can still be recovered and useful for a bit longer. Simply mash the broken part back into the tube with a clean, gloved hand and continue to apply using a lip brush instead.[3]
Things You'll Need
- Broken lipstick
- Clear, thin disposable gloves
- Match or lighter; a barbecue match is a good idea if you are concerned about the duration of working on the lipstick
- Clean workspace area, lined with paper towels

The Gist
The Diamondbacks made a splash this offseason with the signing of Cuban outfielder Yasmany Tomas, who immediately becomes their best fantasy prospect. Apparently they weren't finished though, recently signing Cuban right-hander Yoan Lopez. This system has five legitimate pitching prospects, three of which are close to contributing at the major league level. Despite the hitter-friendly home park, these arms have solid fantasy upside thanks to their strikeout potential. Recently graduated prospect Chris Owings will now man shortstop on an everyday basis. His combination of power and speed make him an interesting late round target in 2015 drafts. And while we're here…don't forget about Randall Delgado, who is currently slated for long relief but could run with another opportunity in a rotation.

They have a shipping special going on. I ordered some .410 strips the day before that special went into effect and they sent me a hand written note and a free set of .38/.357 strips. all that for missing a sale I knew nothing about for a product I would have ordered anyway.
do a google search, you will find many places. or check with your local gun store. most gun stores will have some.

Didier Drogba will attempt to persuade Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha to pledge his international future to the Ivory Coast.
Zaha – 20 next month – was born in the Ivorian city of Abidjan, but moved to England as a child.
The striker has so far chosen to represent his adopted country and was part of the Under-21 team that won a controversial match in Serbia earlier this month to clinch a place in the Euro finals next summer.
But his place among the Under-21s will not prevent him choosing to be part of the Ivory Coast senior side that will compete in the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa in January.
Drogba – idolised in the Ivory Coast – is playing in China after leaving Chelsea last June.
If he manages to turn Zaha – wanted by Spurs, Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea – the decision would be a huge disappointment to Under-21 boss Stuart Pearce who regards the Palace whizzkid as a key man.
It would also mean that Palace would be without a key player for six weeks at a crucial stage of the season.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are bidding to bring back Drogba on a short-term loan.

The First TED Talk
Photo Credit: YouTube
Have you ever heard of TED Talks? Just in case the answer is no, here's how their website describes them...
"TED is a platform for ideas worth spreading. Started in 1984 as a conference where technology, entertainment and design converged, TED today shares ideas from a broad spectrum — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages."
I've watched a few here and there and I find them to be pretty fascinating. But, I just came across a hidden gem. The very first TED Talk was the moment that the compact disc was introduced to the world.
It may be the music nerd in me that finds this so incredible, but I had to share.

David Cameron dramatically replaced his energy minister John Hayes today.
Downing Street insisted that Mr Hayes, who clashed with Energy Secretary Ed Davey over wind farms, had not been sacked.
But his sudden departure from the Department of Energy came as a surprise at Westminster.
Mr Hayes will become senior parliamentary adviser to the Prime Minister and a minister without portfolio based in the Cabinet Office.
Sources at No 10 insisted that it was a promotion which would give the Tory Right-winger direct access to the Prime Minister at daily meetings. A senior source said: "He has not been sacked. He is going to take up a role as a parliamentary greybeard."
But the departure of Mr Hayes, who has also been made a member of the Privy Council, will inevitably be seen as a victory for Lib-Dem Mr Davey.
Business minister Michael Fallon will take up the key duties of energy minister. Mr Fallon, who will have a dual role at the business and energy departments, had previously himself done the role as a senior adviser to the PM.
A source said Mr Fallon's appointment would give energy "a stronger business focus".
The change was said to have been instigated from Downing Street, rather than the Department of Energy and Climate Change.
Insiders rejected talk of a new bust-up between Mr Hayes, who will keep his ministerial salary, and Mr Davey, his departmental boss.
Mr Hayes challenged Mr Davey last year over energy policy, calling for an end to wind farms "peppering" the countryside.
His intervention delighted many Tory MPs and activists, particularly those with rural communities.
But Mr Davey is reported to have taken legal advice over whether Mr Hayes had "prejudiced himself" with his statements.
"I did think there was a question mark over whether he should even continue to have responsibility for renewable energy deployment," said Mr Davey in an interview.
He is also said to have written to Mr Cameron over his concerns about Mr Hayes. But the Prime Minister refused to strip the Conservative minister of the renewable energy policy last year.Reuse content

NFL Draft > 2008 Prospects > ILB > Dan Connor
Dan Connor Scouting Report
|Penn State Nittany Lions
|Jersey Number:
|Height & Weight:
|6'3 - 233 lbs.
2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Dan Connor, ILB, Penn State
Blue collar. That's the word heard most often when describing Dan Conner. The Penn State Senior linebacker has been nothing short of a tackling machine since the first game of his freshman year. In fact, according to an article by Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Conner has failed to register at least 5 tackles in only 2 of his 45 career games. Conner even set the record for career tackles at Penn State against Purdue. The best tackler ever at a place referred to as Linebacker U, that's quite a ringing endorsement. Conner led Penn State with 145 tackles this year, helping their team to its stingy 93.8 rushing yards against average per game. He also tallied a season high 18 tackles against Temple in November. Conner however, doesn't just wait for backs to come at him to be tackled. Conner has racked up 15 Tackles for loss this season along with 6.5 sacks, 1 INT, and 6 passes broken up in coverage. He finished his prestigious career with 9 tackles versus Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl. Conner has experience playing both inside and outside on the linebacking core, both with equally impressive results. Conner is often compared with his old teammate Paul Posluszny, who was drafted by the Buffalo Bills last year. He and Posluszny have a lot of similar skills and both have a nose for the football, always seeming to be in on the tackle. The best news for NFL teams is that Conner is probably a slightly more athletic version of his former teammate. What you get with Conner is a smart, versatile linebacker who never misses a tackle. He is a lock to go in the first round. Dan Connor had a fantastic Senior Bowl. Scouts have questioned his athleticism, but Connor showed he could move during drills. He's got great technique and instincts. Connor also recorded nine tackles and an interception for the North squad. Connor did nothing but prove that he may not look or seem athletic in shorts, but put him in pads and he's as good as any body out there. Dan Connor declined to work out at the NFL Combine, because of nagging injuries from the Senior Bowl. Connor was weighed and measured and reportedly did very well during the interview process. Teams are impressed by his work ethic and his passion for the game. Connor will work out for scouts at Penn State's Pro-Day on March 18. Dan Conner finally got to show off his ability at Penn State's pro day. After missing combine workouts because of injury, Connor put on a show. He ran a 4.67 forty yard dash and a 4.25 second short shuttle. In addition to those drills, Connor registered 21 reps on the bench press, a 35 inch vertical leap, and a 9'7" long jump. Connor has first round talent as a inside or weakside linebacker. He may, however, have to wait until round two to hear his name called.

M name is Phil; I have been reclaiming a small farm in NC for about 5 years. I have had to bring in some professional to upgrade the electrical service, updating the water system with a new heater, well pump. I have had to replace the roof, windows, and a coat of paint to boot. By night I am a network Engineer and by day a want be farmer.I have just got to the point to move on from row crops to starting raising poultry, and goats. I have much more to do, and I am looking to save some money and learn a bit in the process. I would greatly appreciate any input and or advise fellow members may have.

Hey guys, my name is William (Call me will or Willy if you prefer), and I'm from Ellensburg, WA. I've been a member here for quite a while now but never really posted, just kinda popped my head in from time to time. Well tonight I was looking through the forum for the first time in a long time and decided to start posting. I don't have a WRX, but I am a big WRX fan as well as a big lover of F-bodies and many other cars. Here's the only decent pic I have of my car.
And I just realized that it's 4:04 A.M. Off to bed I go

However, I do have a nice story about the above mentioned church folk. They knew we had it bad. They've suffered complaints from the neighborhood off and on forever. When we moved in they came right on over and told us ahead of time that there were always people that would park like poo-poo heads (my word, not theirs) no matter what they did. They promised us that they told everybody every Sunday NOT to park in driveways or in crosswalks or in other places to fierce to mention. They also promised us that someone would. Then those same people (the ones talking to us, not the ones parking like poo-poo heads) came over one day and said that they had taken up a nice, fat collection of money and were gonna give it to us to help us build a driveway whenever we were ready.
And then the lovely refinance happened and suddenly there was more money each month and a little extree to play with so we got to building, as we are prone to do.
Here's Jackdaddy helping break up the garage floor. Oh, yea, THAT was a fun job. Did I mention that the floor was all cracked and broken and poor Jackdaddy had to live with that for 3 years? And him being a garage kinda man and all. It was the bane of his existence. (Sort of like the old windows are to me.)
On Day 2 they got smart and brought a jackhammer.
It's poured!
I'm gonna leave you hanging like this for awhile. You won't see this project again until it's all dry and they've come back to stain it (dark brown, of course. You know how I love my greens and browns). And, I've got another surprise for you coming up. You know Mamaholt had to have just a little treat for herself if Jackdaddy was getting a new garage floor and a driveway, don't you?

"This book provides insights and practical guides for all aspects of grandparents parenting their grandchildren. Although lengthy, it is organized for reference reading on topics of special interest. It reflects extensive personal experience and commitment." Robert Casey, Founder and President, Creative Grandparenting, Inc.
"As an educator, I feel that the authors have done an excellent job researching material for Grandparents as Parents. It was written with much compassion and insight." Gertrude B. Burrell, PhD, B.O.D. Secretary, Creative Grandparenting, Inc.
"Thank you for the opportunity to read through this manuscript. I was deeply moved. I found the writing to be an extraordinary, heartwrenching account of grandparents raising a second family. It is a profoundly sensitive guide that provides a fine blend of education, understanding and assistance for 'when the second shift arrives.' What I most appreciated is that while somewhat alarming, it shows the real side of grandparentingincluding those not-so-pleasant issues that most of these families will face. And it doesn't ignore the fact that the legal system often adds to the confusion and difficulty. Rather, it takes a step-by-step approach to getting through the system with an eye always on what's best for the child. The book answers many of the questions grandparents have asked us in desperation and confusion. It fills an existing void of information and will be welcomed by the millions of grandparents that need its assistance and support." Giovanna Stark, Executive Director, Child Development Programs Advisory Committee, Sacramento, CA
"Contains an important source of information as it responds to real life experiences of parenting grandparents. The in-depth focus of Grandparents As Parents defines the many roles, adjustments and responsibilities grandparents who are parenting their grandchildren must make as they become parents a second time." Lenora Madison Poe, Ph.D., Berkeley, CA
"Sylvie de Toledo's pioneering work with grandparents who are raising their grandchildren finally has the national platform it deserves. DeToledo and Edler Brown have produced a practical, readable guide that will prove invaluable to these grandparents who are dealing with their emotionally distressed grandchildren, their often disturbed and/or abusive adult children, and a hopelessly outdated and confusing legal system that so often works against 'the best interests of the child.'" Annette Winter, Senior Editor, Modern Maturity magazine
"Grandparents As Parents is a wonderful resource not only for grandparents raising grandchildren but for anyone who is connected with or provides services to families in this situation. From personal experience, the authors provide a special insight into the circumstances that grandparents and other relatives face as they take on the charge of protecting and nurturing their kin. Grandparents As Parents addresses the emotional challenges this responsibility involves as well as contributing very practical advice. Through real-life examples, it gives us both the grandparents' and the social workers' perspective regarding family history, the value of group support, negotiating complex systems of services, and the importance of advocacy. The book ends with a call to action. I highly recommend this book to recharge our commitment as we advance our knowledge." Dana Burdnell Wilson, MSW, Kinship Care Program Director, Child Welfare League of America
"This book is a brilliant 'how-to' manual for grandparents who are raising their grandchildren. It guides grandparent caregivers through the maze of physical, emotional, financial and legal problems encountered as they strive to rescue and protect their beloved grandchildren in a world wrought with violence, abuse, drugs, prostitution, gangs and guns. This 'survival handbook' should be standard issue to every grandparent raising (or contemplating raising) their grandchildren." Nancy A. McCann-Stone, Citizens Advocate, Senior Citizens Advocacy Bureau
"Covers every aspect of the complex issue of grandparenting today. This is a good, solid guidebook for any grandparent who is helping to support, raising, or contemplating raising a grandchild. Written in a professional yet caring style, the book presents a detailed summary of the issues affecting grandparents who raise their grandchildren, as well as a realistic look at the systems in place to help them." Senator David Pryor (AR), U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging
"Ms. de Toledo and Ms. Brown have written a step-by-step guidebook for one of the most crucial issues of our time. Grandparents As Parents is an excellent user's manual which can empower seniors who increasingly step in to fill the breach when the family infrastructure crumbles. 'Kinship Care' will keep a lot of American families together as our country moves into the next century." Congressman Ron Wyden (Oregon)
" ...A detailed, sensitive guide...Each chapter includes concrete suggestions, for example, how to recognize symptoms of behavior problems and cope with them, ways to negotiate with teachers, and what to do if the parent still has contact and the grandparents suspect she or he is abusing the child...Grandparents as Parents is a supportive, practical book written by someone who has personal experience with the effects on all concerned...Any grandparents raising a grandchild can read this book and know they are not alone. The material is direct and honest; it normalizes the many negative emotions grandparents may be uncomfortable expressing...This is a useful and timely book that will benefit the grandparents and grandchildren, the helping professionals who work for them, and the rest of the members in this increasingly common family configuration." Nicole Spaulding, Rehabilitation Education
"This book addresses an important topic on which little literature exists. The authors have filled this vacuum admirably. The result is a highly readable guide to the problems facing older adults who take on the task of raising their grandchildren....The numerous case examples drive home the points being made, as well as make the work accessible to individuals who may not have had the advantage of higher education." Pearl M. Mosher-Ashley, PhD in Clinical Gerontologist

You Bring WHAT?!
This is a funny and TRUE story!

When the ladies of The Pistol Annies were asked what each one of them "brings" to the band, Angaleena had an interesting answer...
She said, "I bring big boobs!"
Ashley responded next saying, "Well, I bring big words!" Miranda didn't respond, but we think she brings the star-power and the sass!
Actually... it seems like they're all pretty sassy ladies!

How can I help a cat who's been abused overcome her fear of hands?
I recently began fostering for the first time, with a very active and soft-spoken teenage girl who was removed from an abusive situation. Luckily, she doesn't seem to be very afraid of people - she usually likes to hang out in the same areas where me and my roommates are, and as I'm writing this she's sleeping on my lap. But she's definitely scared of hands, even if she's sitting in my lap I can rarely pet her or set my hands down near her without her biting or scratching at me. I haven't had her that long, but it's really important that I help her get over this so she'll have a better chance at adoption. Is there anything specific I can do to help her?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I would say try feeding her treats out of your hands. That way, she will eventually see hands positively. Also, try to gain her trust. I hear playing with your kitty gains trust and friendship. Hope this helps!

The late Lily Rose was also an abused cat who was kicked and thrown against walls. When I adopted her, I basically let her make up her own mind about me. It took a few weeks, but just before she was killed, she became a lap cat. I always spoke softly and when she'd headbonk me, I didn't try to touch her, just talked over the days event with her. I always put her down very gently. Watch for signs she is about to bite. Big eyes, ruffled fur, growls, etc. Use "hands-off" toys with her like feather wands or ping-pong balls. If you give her a treat, put it down and then stand close while she eats it, telling her what a good girl she is. When you adopt her out, I would caution against a family with children under 12. Give yourself (and her) lots of time. There will be good days and bad days. Patience, kindness and love are what she needs now. If you are fostering for an organization, ask them for advice as well. Good luck and purrs to you both!

This Albemarle 25 Express lets you enjoy true offshore fishing anywhere you want to go. She's an offshore thoroughbred with distinctive, flared bow, unitized construction, Yamaha power and deep-V bottom that lets it handle just about any condition a sport fisherman faces.
A spacious flush cockpit, and high, wide, gunwales allow for easy 360-degree access around the boat. The boat has recessed hawse pipes, and rod holders keep lines free of interference, plus a standard, large livewell and fishbox in the transom completes the fishing package.
Forward is a full sized cuddy cabin with V-berth, rod storage, stowable electric head and storage locker.
