Comments about RS Berkeley Legend Series Clark Terry Trumpet Mouthpiece:
After playing on so many different mouthpieces over the years, I was fortunate enough to be able to play on Clark Terry's actual mouthpiece, which was originally made by Giardinelli. This copy is exact and wonderful, and the rim is the most comfortable one I have ever played on. This mouthpiece has helped open up my sound and increase my accuracy beyond anything I ever imagined, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is a serious player!

Yes; I'll tell you Androcles and the Lion; you always like that.
The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle, and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena.

The test model provided an opportunity to apply a proposed ranking formula for ranking new school replacement and renovation projects in a simulated environment, observe the outcome, and report the findings to the Assistant Secretary-Indian Affairs. The test model did not result in a listing of ranked schools, but will allow Indian Affairs to prepare a report on the process and identify any issues or recommendations that resulted from the test.

SAPD sergeant fires gun during drug raid
Updated 7:28 am, Tuesday, August 26, 2014
SAN ANTONIO -- A police sergeant fired his service weapon once during a drug raid just before midnight on the Northeast Side, but no one was hit.
Officers from the gang unit of the San Antonio Police Department went to serve a narcotics search warrant at a home in the 5200 block of Village Row just before midnight, according to a press release. The officers identified themselves as police, but they saw a man retreat into a room and slam a door on them, according to the release from Sgt. Javier Salazar, police spokesman.
Officers forced their way into the room, and the sergeant leading the team ended up in a "hands-on struggle" with the man, Salazar wrote. During the struggle, the sergeant realized the man had a gun, according to Salazar.
The sergeant fired once during the struggle, but the shot did not hit anyone, according to Salazar. Other officers helped the sergeant disarm and arrest the man, who faces a number of felony charges, Salazar wrote.
The man was injured during the fight with the sergeant, according to Salazar. He was treated at the scene. None of the officers were injured.

The scandal over a deadly attack on a US consulate in Libya grew as three officials resigned after a probe denounced security failures and calls mounted for Secretary of State
Deputy Secretary Bill Burns admitted the months-long investigation into the September assault on the US mission in Benghazi, Libya, had taken "a clear-eyed look at serious, systemic problems, which are unacceptable".
He said the department had "learned some very hard and painful lessons in Benghazi", where four Americans, including ambassador Chris Stevens, were killed in an attack by dozens of armed militants linked to al-Qaeda.
Clinton and the whole department "take responsibility" for the issues highlighted by the Accountability Review Board (ARB) and accepted all of its 29 recommendations, Burns said.
But top Republican lawmaker Ileana Ros-Lethinen said the panel made it clear in their 39-page report that a lack of leadership and management was "to blame for the series of errors that resulted in the loss of life.
"The recent resignations of three State Department officials is not the end, as the administration must continue to be held accountable ... to avoid another Benghazi in the future," said Ros-Lethinen, chairwoman of the House foreign affairs committee.
Clinton, who had to pull out of this week's scheduled congressional hearings due to illness, must "answer for these failures", she added in a statement.
US television networks, citing unnamed officials, said Assistant Secretary Eric Boswell, head of the bureau of diplomatic security, and Charlene Lamb, deputy assistant secretary for international programs, had stepped down.
The third person to submit a resignation letter was not identified.
ARB vice chairman Admiral Mike Mullen stressed that while Clinton has taken responsibility, as head of the department which deploys more than 60,000 people around the world, she had not been made aware of the specific security concerns in Benghazi.
Republican Senator Marco Rubio, who sits on the intelligence committee, insisted Clinton's testimony was "indispensable to any effort to address this failure and put in place a process to ensure this never happens again".
The Benghazi attack has complicated President
Rice had come under relentless fire for going on five Sunday morning television talk shows days after the deadly assault to say that, according to the best intelligence available, the attack had been triggered by a "spontaneous" protest outside the mission.
The ARB panel confirmed there had been no protest prior to the September 11 attack, nor was there any intelligence of a threat of any kind.

I am 15 days post op and my breasts look odd. One is flat large nipple with skin puffy under breast and going to one side. The other nipple is puffy and small and looks like its dropping. Is it normal? Should I wear a better support bra? Will this fix over time? Also I have hardness around belly button and above the incision of the tummy tuck. One side is more swollen than other side of tummy tuck above incision. Is that normal? How can help the swelling to go down?
15 Days Post Op Breast Lift/ Tummy Tuck. Uneven Breasts? (photo)
Doctor Answers 8
15 Days Post Op Breast Lift/ Tummy Tuck. Uneven Breasts
It looks like you have had a breast lift by the incisions that I see, but your nipples and areolae are still pointing downward, and there is rather marked asymmetry. Without seeing pre-op photos it is hard to know where you started, but I can see that this is not where you want to be. I can't see enough of the abdomen to comment on your question there. Swelling will go down as healing continues and inflammation resolves, pretty much on its own schedule.
A visit to your surgeon and discussion of your issues is in order. Thanks, best wishes.
Allow 4-6 Weeks For Swelling To Resolve
Post Operative Asymmetry
Thank you for the question and your pictures. You are at a very early point in your healing right now. There is a significant amount of inflammation and scarring taking place in your breasts. I would recommend that you continue to closely follow up with your surgeon and communicate your concerns. Your questions are good ones, but pictures will never be as good for an evaluation of a patient as a detailed in-person examination.
Good luck.

15 days is really soon to tell, although your breasts look uneven they can change.
It is difficult to do consultants accurately online so make sure you keep in close contact with your plastic surgeon and follow up untill the problem is solved.
Hardness around the belly button and above the incision line is just part of the healing process, that should improve over time.
Uneven swelling is normal and that will subside in time.
Concerns about Breast Lift and Tummy Tuck Results?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
You will do much better by running these questions/concerns by your plastic surgeon. He/she knows exactly what was done and can evaluate your results/progress clinically. Online consultants cannot do so accurately.
Make sure you keep in close contact with your plastic surgeon; ask for earlier follow-up if you have specific questions/concerns.
Best wishes.

15 Days Post Op Breast Lift/ Tummy Tuck. Uneven Breasts? (photo)
Even with the poorly exposed posted photos it appears as you have some appearance and symmetry issues of the breasts. Best to obtain in person second opinions.
Concern 2 weeks after surgery
I understand your concerns. The extra skin is from the vertical type of breast lift/reduction. That skin is supposed to shrink up and get smoother over time. You have some asymmetry as well. There is nothing to do now. Stay in contact with your surgeon and follow his/her instructions. Discuss your concerns at your next visit. Hang in there.

Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck 15 Days Post OP
You should see your plastic surgeon and ask him/her your questions and express your concerns.Getting advice from a plastic surgeon over the internet without the ability to have your records, preop photos, and being able to examine you is not wise. If after seeing your plastic surgeon who performed your surgery you are still concerned, get a second opinion from a well respected board certified plastic surgeon ( certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery). In general, you cannot judge your final result at 2 weeks post op.
These answers are for educational purposes and should not be relied upon as a substitute for medical advice you may receive from your physician. If you have a medical emergency, please call 911. These answers do not constitute or initiate a patient/doctor relationship.

Begin by designing your form as normal inside InDesign. When you are ready to create the form fields, I recommend that you create a layer for the form buttons.
Next, draw empty frames (no formatting) wherever you would like text fields to be in your layout. After creating all of your text fields, convert each of them into a button. It is not necessary to give them any attributes like actions or appearances.

Blind Melon Ever Had the Feeling Lyrics
Ready...Ever had the feeling of maybe blowing your face upon the ceiling
Have you ever stopped to wonder what your life might feel like down,down,down,down way under?
Ya ever felt the need to slash someone's throat and sit there and watch 'em bleed, yeah
And what keeps you from popping too many pills?
Don't tell me it's all your unpaid bills
Oh, but so what if ya did?
So what if ya did?
So what if ya did?
So what if ya did?
And I just got through one of those nights where I wanted to turn out the forever lights
And maybe snap my neck and release some constipation
Or a razor through my wrists without the slightest hesitation
Oh, give it back to me
Oh, please, please give it back to me
Oh, please, please, please give it back to me
And I swear, swear
I swear what if ya did?
Oh, I swear it if ya did?
I'd swear on it if ya did
What if ya did?
What if ya did?
Hey, what if ya did?
I wouldn't care if ya did
But who thought ya would
Thanks to Ange P for submitting Ever Had The Feeling Lyrics.

Coconut Cream Pie
Recipe by Marg CaymanDesigns
Took this to a church supper and brought the pie plate home virtually licked clean!
Top Review by sharflan
I set to work this afternoon, needing something 'quick' and tasty. I found it! I found it super easy (I used the microwave - just a couple minutes at a time made it "easy as pie"!) I did make 1 change - since I had little milk on hand, I used a can of coconut milk then topped it off with regular milk to the 3 cup mark. It was just as easy to prepare as a pudding mix and much tastier!!! My husband was full of compliments on this one. Thanks for a terrific recipe Marg!

Have HVAC Questions? Ask an HVAC Expert for Answers
I don't see anything like what you're describing. The burners on the unit are on the bottom left, stretching horizontally across. There is a small, removal cover to allow access for lighting the pilot but it doesn't give you access to anything else. The only thing I have seen that even remotely resembles what you mentioned is the dial on the gas valve that has the "On, Pilot, and Off" settings.
I don't really know what those things you're talking about are even. I truly appreciate your help but I'm afraid I'm going to have to contact someone locally to come have a look at it. Thanks for your time.

On July 4, 1776 the United States declared independence from Britain and a vigorous new democracy was born. This year we celebrate our 236th birthday and our founding fathers are probably sputtering in wonderment, "Who knew this experiment in democracy would be so successful?"
When American patriots chose to defy King, Crown, a powerful power structure, and even history itself, the conventional wisdom was that the fledgling movement could not survive. There was little more than a deep desire to be free, a belief in the power of determination and the shared aspiration to be independent.
Independence is a scary thought. Whether it is a country, a profession, an organization or an individual, the status quo can be safe because it represents a known quantity. One learns how to cope with the expected; it is the unexpected that presents the greatest challenges. Psychologists describe this as the "better the devil you know" phenomenon and posit that it explains why even victims of horrendous treatment will opt to remain in what might seem to everyone to be an obviously untenable situation.
It is not that our forefathers had all the answers, or were imbued with extraordinary strength and courage; it is simply that their desire for a better life superseded their fear. As executives in healthcare, beholden to so many masters and powerbrokers, we are often tentative about moving beyond our fears.
As a profession, we obsess about how we are beholden to pathologists, the government, regulatory agencies and other healthcare professionals. How can we deny the "reality" that we are negatively impacted and held back by so many?
One consideration often overlooked is the very preoccupation with the "reality" prevents us from changing it and moving forward. What would be the result if we chose not to be subservient or subject to the whims and fancies of others? The strong likelihood is we would be closer to our dream of a vibrant, independent, proud profession. The worst case scenario is we would be where we are right now.
Personally and professionally, individually and as a profession, I wish you a Happy Independence.
As a profession we will never be truly independent until we separate ourselves from pathologists. They work with us but do not support us. They take credit for our work.In many labs we even have 2 directors, a pathologist who is medical director but the administrative director is the MT who runs the lab and is in charge of the real work that makes the lab run.
Happy Independence to all my colleagues.

Naomi Watts Toasts Target at 50th Anniversary Celebration
Paying homage to one of America's most beloved retailers, Naomi Watts attended the celebration of Target's 50th Anniversary in New York City on Tuesday night (October 16).
The "King Kong" actress looked effortlessly chic in skinny jeans, knee high black boots and a blazer as she casually posed for photos at the Center 548 held soiree.
Naomi's Target night on the town comes as she's been making sure to fit in plenty of family time amidst her demanding career as a big screen leading lady.
Over the course of the past week, Watts - along with her partner Liev Schreiber - took their two boys out for a casual bike ride in NYC while Naomi and youngest son Samuel paired up for a little one-on-one Big Apple bonding a few days later.

NC candidate says opponent offered job if he left the race
The Democratic candidate for NC House District 116 says his Republican opponents offered him a job in exchange for dropping out of the race.
Brian Turner was on the show yesterday and said he and Tim Moffitt agreed to a lunch meeting in February - where Turner thought it would be a quick chance to say 'Hello' before the campaign got underway.
CREDIT: Brian Turner campaign website
But he said Moffitt told him that he wanted to be Speaker of the House and would need to focus his attention on building support among his fellow lawmakers, rather than running a re-election campaign back home in the district.
Turner said Moffitt suggested Turner could serve the public in another manner - such as working for UNC-TV. According to Turner, Moffitt said the entire public television operation might even be brought from Raleigh to Asheville.
Later, Turner said Moffitt warned him of third-party groups that would "nuke" him during the campaign and that he should consider the toll this might take on his wife and daughter.
Turner said he perceived the job offer as a quid pro quo, and the warning as a threat during the conversation.
Turner said he looked into filing a complaint, but hasn't done so because it would just be his word against Moffitt's.
And David King's.
The Republican County Commission arranged the meeting between the two men, and was present for the lunch.
I spoke with King today and he'll be on the program today at 5:00. King says he heard the interview with Brian Turner and says Moffitt did not make any "nuanced offer."

After 9/11, dinner gang raises funds to honor those lost
NEW YORK – As summer draws to a close, a young equities trader named Brett Bailey tells his buddies Art Della Salla and Joe Bonavita that they really ought to start planning a regular get-together.
A few years out of college, people already are starting to move beyond their first jobs and first apartments. How about a monthly steak dinner, he says, in the financial district where everyone works — just to keep the gang going?
Three months later, nine men do gather at a steakhouse, including Art and Joe and their pals John Boyle and Don Demers. But Brett isn't there. Nor is Chris Dunne, another member of their crowd. And Joe's girlfriend since college, Johanna Sigmund, who would have been the first girl invited if they invited girls, isn't there.
They aren't there because it's November 2001, and on Sept. 11 all three were at the World Trade Center. Brett was helping a co-worker from Eurobrokers in the stairwell of the south tower when it collapsed. Chris worked for Marsh & McLennan on the 96th floor of the north tower, directly in the first jet's path. Johanna, who worked at Fred Alger Management in the north tower, was killed on the ground by falling debris.
She was 25. Chris was 28. Brett was also 28, and engaged to be married the following June.
By Robert Deutsch, USA TODAY
Art Della Salla, right, lost his best friend in the collapse of the World Trade Center. Today, he and a gang of friends work to knit back together lives affected by tragedy.
After that gathering, on the first Thursday of the month, Joe and Art and the others who remain continue to come together to support one another, to remember their three friends, and to drink, talk and eat steak. They each start throwing in an extra $20 when the check comes and give a few hundred bucks each month to good causes: a scholarship at Johanna's high school, or the foundations that Brett's and Chris' families created in their memories.
The guys call the dinner the First Thursday Foundation, and they work their way through almost all the steakhouses in New York. This is a good thing, they decide, something good to come out of the sadness. Having seen a part of their youth crushed by the falling towers, they respect happiness when and where they find it.
Ten years later, the First Thursday Foundation has held more than 100 dinners and assembled an invitation list of more than 50 men — many of whom never knew the three friends who died on 9/11. It's a backslapping, storytelling, bragging, ribbing guys' dinner preceded by a short, earnest discussion about which cause to support with the month's offering. Then it's on to red wine and red meat. Only once has someone — he was new — ordered the fish. That was in 2004. He hasn't been allowed to forget it.
"It didn't start as, 'Let's raise money in our friends' honor.' It was, 'We owe it to our friends to make sure we stay together and remember our friends and talk about them,'" says John Boyle, a lawyer who grew up with Art and Brett.
The 9/11 attacks struck at the heart of their tribe: young men starting out in the world of finance, working and living and socializing with the friends they'd grown up with in and around New York. People with whom they'd gone to high school or college or both, people they'd known from weekends at the Jersey Shore, people whose cousins they'd dated or played golf with. Or some combination of the above.
"I buried 15 friends that day," says Andrew Knauf, now 37 and a partner in a hedge fund. "There were some moments you had to choose which funeral to go to."
The First Thursday dinner has helped friends who survived 9/11 to keep faith with friends who did not. By March 2006, the group had amassed enough customer loyalty points at The Palm to commission a caricature for the collection that famously decorates the steakhouse's restaurants. It depicts the group's three missing friends.
"They were instrumental in us becoming who we are," says Joe's roommate at Fairfield University, Bart Ciccolini.
The dinner "has allowed us not just to remember the day and the friends that were lost, but what it was to be a friend," says Knauf, who had counted Chris Dunne as his dearest friend since they met at Fairfield. "I'm trying to make his memory last for me, and I will never stop 'til my last breath."
In summer 2001, planning for marriage
About the time in the summer of 2001 that Brett Bailey told Joe Bonavita and his other buddies they should get together regularly, Joe went to spend the Labor Day weekend with his girlfriend, Johanna, at her parents' house at the New Jersey shore.
The two had met as students at Fairfield and had been dating for four years. During a walk with friends, Johanna turned to Joe and said, "I think I'm ready to get engaged."
It was that time of their lives: It seemed as if everyone they knew had just gotten married or was about to. In the bitter summer after 9/11, Joe was a groomsman in five weddings, without the company of the girl he thought would be his bride. In May 2002, he got Johanna's initials tattooed on his shoulder. Six months later, amid the post-9/11 financial market slump, he was laid off from his job as an investment banker at Lehman Bros. He spent most of 2003, he says, hanging out at a bar called the Banshee Pub.
"I was absolutely a mess," he says. The First Thursday dinners were "a matter of survival."
For years, the group avoided steakhouses in the financial district surrounding the World Trade Center site; it was too upsetting for Joe to go there. He has never visited Ground Zero and won't go until the 10th anniversary. He plans to bring his wife, Meaghan — he met her in 2003, on what would have been Johanna's 27th birthday — and their son. He has promised some photos of Johanna to the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, because he wants to make sure she is properly memorialized.
"Forgetting has always been my biggest worry, not being able to remember those people. And it happens. Life moves on," Joe says. He paraphrases the Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal on his duty to the dead: "When I face those people on my day, I want them to know I didn't forget."
Weeks of confusion and shock
That week after Labor Day 2001, when Joe's girlfriend put him on notice, Art Della Salla was moving into an apartment in Manhattan one block away from his best friend, Brett Bailey, and Brett's fiancée, Dina Carlucci.
The three had known each other for six years, and everyone was happy they would be living so close. On Art's first night in the city, Brett helped him unpack, then they ordered takeout food and watched TV. It was Sept. 10, 2001.
"We were all having so much fun," Dina recalls. "It was a good time in New York City, it was (going) out all the time and having a lot — a lot— of fun."
In the ensuing weeks of confusion and shock, Art and Dina were together almost constantly, with Brett's family and friends and others in their extended network who had lost family in the attacks. Dina made calls to cancel her wedding arrangements. She and Art, Brett's parents and brother, and John Boyle all got tattoos of Brett's initials and a Celtic symbol.
"Brett was gone, and Dina and I were still there," Art says. "There would be that constant call after work — 'What are you doing, where are you going.'"
At first, Dina couldn't face being in the apartment she and Brett had shared, so she stayed at Art's. When she did move back, he would bring her breakfast. At Brett's memorial service, Art's eulogy brought the congregation to its feet, applauding, and for the first time, Dina felt she might be able to survive.
"We're all going to get through this and it's going to be OK," she recalls thinking. "I just remember feeling grateful to Art for being able to pull that off."
That winter, at a New Year's Eve party at the Jersey Shore, someone spotted Dina and Art cuddling and commented on it. Joe Bonavita was there. "Mind your business," he snapped.
"I should be so lucky," he recalls thinking, wishing he had that kind of solace and companionship. "You have no right to question someone's happiness."
John Boyle also noticed Art and Dina. He didn't know how to feel about it. Then a friend told him what Brett once had told her when her widowed father started dating her late mother's best friend: Wouldn't someone who dies want loved ones left behind to be happy? Wouldn't Brett?
Art and Dina were the two most important people to Brett, the woman told John, adding that Brett would want those two to be happy — and to be happy together, so much the better.
Dina, meanwhile, had had her own doubts. She wondered: Were they both still too deep in grief to start a real relationship?
"I thought, I don't know if this is a good idea. I'm not right, you're not right. I don't know," she recalls. But she decided to go with happiness. "If this makes us feel OK, that's what matters. If spending time with you makes me feel happy and makes you feel happy, that's fine."
She remembered what Brett had told her about Art's perennially unsettled love life: "When the time comes, he is going to find somebody that is going to knock his socks off, and that's going to be it." Maybe, she thought, that somebody was her.
"It's not hard to find yourself falling in love with someone who was already someone you loved," she says.
By August 2002, when the two were invited to a Bailey cousin's wedding, Dina called Brett's parents to say that she and Art would be attending as a couple. They were married in 2005, with John as the best man. They had to invite more than 300 people, so hard was it to choose from among the deep and tangled relationships of not just two families, but three.
Among the guests were Brett's parents, siblings and at least one generation of cousins. At the reception, Dina saw a few Bailey cousins she was pretty sure they hadn't invited. When she asked Art, he admitted he'd called them at home in North Jersey the night before and invited them.
"So you called Ryan at midnight last night in West Orange and he got in his car and drove down to Cape May at 2 in the morning?" the bride asked.
"Of course," the bridegroom replied.
The night after they brought home their first child, in May 2006, Art waited until Dina and the baby were asleep, then slipped out to the First Thursday dinner for a celebratory drink. Baby No. 3, Avery Elizabeth, arrived in June.
The only hard part is when new friends ask a new-friend question: "So how did you two meet?" Mentioning that Dina was engaged to Art's best friend leads to raised eyebrows, Dina says — and bringing up 9/11 makes the conversation awkward. They've learned simply to answer, "We met through a mutual friend."
The dinners continue
After 112 dinners, the First Thursday Foundation has lasted longer than Joe knew Johanna, longer than Brett and Dina were together, far longer than the time when everyone was young and footloose in the bull market pre-9/11.
But growing families, suburban commutes and economic sluggishness are testing the strength of a bond formed in youth and sanctified by grief and anger. Last year, the monthly dinner turned into a quarterly affair. Four dinners a year rather than 12 are easier on recession-straitened finances — steaks at The Palm start at $43 — and there's "less pushback" from wives, says Don Demers, who was Chris Dunne's college roommate.
The foundation recently obtained tax-exempt status. Now, instead of everyone throwing in $20 at a gathering, the group bills members $240 a year upfront. In total, the steak dinner gang has raised and donated about $45,000.
But the real work of the First Thursday Foundation is remembering, and its biggest gift is knitting back together lives raveled by loss.
Sometimes the wives think the First Thursday ritual is slightly ridiculous, Joe says. He doesn't care. They weren't there on Sept. 12, he says, "when we were figuring out who died and who didn't."

Gabbriel Simone, of Branford, a graduate student in the School of Business at Quinnipiac University, is publishing a new book, "I Wish I Knew It Before Going to College" (Morgan James Publishing). Simone earned a bachelor's degree in accounting in 2010.
Scheduled for release in January 2012, the book is a compilation of excerpts, one-liners and stories taken from hundreds of college students' answers to, "I wish I knew it, before going to college."
"There were a number of times in college when I thought, 'I wish someone had told me what I was getting myself into,' " Simone said. "I didn't realize how to take advantage of the opportunities at college until I was half way done with it. College isn't just going to class and partying. This book teaches you how to take advantage of the amazing opportunities. It also informs you of all of the opportunities to fail at college."
Among the topics she covers in the book are:
- I wish I knew that you could be whoever you wanted. College is a fresh start.
- I wish I knew there was more to college than just the classroom.
- I wish I knew not to trust anyone too quickly. First impressions aren't always what they seem.
- I wish I knew how hard it was going to be to not be an athlete.
- I wish I knew that people could make reputations for themselves in one weekend.
- I wish I knew that everyone is at least a little scared before going to college.
- I wish I knew that I didn't need to buy every dorm accessory.
- I wish I knew how to say "no."
- I wish I knew that there are a lot of kids in college who never drank in high school. I always thought I was going to be the only one.
- I wish I knew how quickly relationships could get out of hand.
Here are two excerpts from those who contributed to the book…..
Choosing A Major
"I wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I wish I had explored all of my options before choosing a major. I just picked a major because it was a subject I enjoyed learning about. I never thought about what types of jobs I could get from it. I should have met with professors to talk about career options in other fields. I should have done research on job placement for certain majors. I should have talked with upper classmen about what their classes were like and what kinds of opportunities they had. I didn't do any of that and now I am a senior and don't want to do anything with what I've been studying for the last four years of college. Sorry Mom and Dad."
More Classes, Harder Classes
"I wish I knew that classes get harder as you get older. I wish I knew to work as hard as I could my freshman and sophomore years, because those were the easiest classes. That would have been an easy way to bring up my GPA early. As you get older, you add more to your plate, the biggest piece being the job search. Looking for a job and networking with people takes a lot of time. Classes aren't always first priority as you begin doing job interviews and work on getting your foot in the 'real world.' By working hard the first couple of years, your GPA should be solid. Not getting all A's as a junior and senior won't hurt you overall. Consider this… every May, every year there are thousands and thousands of college students graduating which means there are thousands and thousands of young adults looking for work. Having a 4.0 GPA and a diploma isn't enough to get you a job these days. You need to have more on your resume. So, focus on academics the first couple of years so you can spread your wings a little as you get older and not have to stress about getting your GPA back up."
The book will be available for sale in all major book stores, eBooks and through www.iwishiknewit.com.
Pre-sales will be made available at the end of August, 2011.

Dorsal hairs of mesosoma and gaster not conspicuously plumose; postpetiolar dorsum largely smooth and shining, with faint traces of longitudinal costulae; basidorsal costulae of AT4 forming a narrow fringe, less than a third the length of postpetiole.
This appears to be an upper montane form of dentiloba, and follows the trend many cloud forest taxa show of having extensive shiny areas that are rugose or punctate in their lowland counterparts. In an elevational transect of sifted litter samples in Braulio Carrillo National Park, dentiloba occurred from La Selva to 950m elevation, JTL-001 in three samples from 1000-1200m elevation.
Costa Rica. Known from one area between 1000-1200m elevation in Braulio Carrillo National Park.
Natural History
Hylomyrma workers and queens occur in samples of sifted leaf litter from the forest floor. Little else is known about them.
Additional Records
Known from three Winkler samples from Braulio Carrillo Nat. Park.

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Stopped working after 60 days 10/11/2013
This review is from: Rosewill USB 3.0 External Slim Aluminum 6x Blu-ray Writer Model RDED-12001 BDXL Support w/ Full Cyberlink PowerDVD
Nice drive easily installed. Worked great. USB 3.0. Burns and reads all I put in it so far.
Funky short cable not alot of slack to position.
Quit working suddenly. No longer recognized by system, if I reconnect drive system no longer recognized drive and does not shut down, or if connected while booting screen goes blank and freezes system. System boots fine when is disconnect drive.
Not much on Rosewill support page other than model number and photo.
Other Thoughts:
Great drive for the value after rebate, but did not last long. Have a support inquire in for drive, hopefully Rosewill will make right. Giving them chance to respond and hopefully amicably and graciously resolve issue.

Ravens hold second-to-last full practice before Super Bowl
NEW ORLEANS - No one was missing from practice as the Ravens split Thursday's work between Tulane University and the grass fields at the Saints' training facility. The Ravens held their walkthrough at Tulane, but because of issues with practicing on the FieldTurf there, the team requested improved practice conditions, and the NFL complied. The 49ers are also practicing at the Saints' complex, so the

Advantages and Disadvantages
There are two main advantages to soloing worms.
- Great EXP. You can take T, VT, or even IT with little to no problem, and if it gets ugly you can just run away.
- Solo exp can go upwards of 3-4k per hour.
- Soloing with a PL to heal can net upwards of 6k per hour.
- With Utsusemi and Bloody Bolts, one can solo in the past for over 6k per hour easily at the expense of ton of arrows and bolts.
- There is no need to depend on groups, as they will just slow you down.
The one major disadvantage is that it can cost quite a bit in arrows and other support items.
Levels 1-10
- Newbie areas just outside of the home cities (Gustaberg, Sarutabaruta, Ronfaure)
- Kill Easy Prey or Decent Challenge and concentrate on Worms.
Levels 10-16
- Worms in La Theine Plateau or Konschtat Highlands.
- Sheep are ok, but can be more difficult.
- Carrion Worm in East Ronfaure (S) are a great mob to level on here as well and last till at least level 16. The idea here is to mass kill Even Matches to Toughs at 10-12, then keep killing DC's and EP's with zero down time. There are 15-20 spawn sights near the gates. The presence of 2 Pixie's really helps. Run by the Pixie for free Cure II's and III's. Can consistently maintain 4-5k/hour until level 16.
I found it was of great help to keep Widescan tracking my local Pixie at all times, that way I could know exactly where she was and seek her out if she was close.--Maerina 08:18, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
- Alternate camp site in North Gustaberg (S) also work just as well. But instead of Carrion Worm, you will be looking for Tunnel Worm there. They are just outside of the gate. A Pixie is usually too far away from here but you can just run away from the worms if you get into trouble. Note, nothing will aggro you here.
Levels 14-19
- Maze Makers in Maze of Shakhrami.
- At 14, take the easier ones. Higher Level worms can be harder to hit at this level.
- At level 16, a sub job switch to Blue Mage can lower down time, cut damage down with spells like Metallic Body and Cocoon.
- For alternate site, from 16 on until 22, you can also try Stone Eater in North Gustaberg (S) (E-11) to (E-9). There are 2-3 worms usually on the north part of the campaign tower, just along the path. Use the Campaign Arbiter to teleport you near this camp. For people in Bastok Markets (S), Narkissa, C.A. in located at (E-8) where the AH would be.
- I tried this camp at 16,17, and 18. Even at 18, the worms hurt too much. When the worms cast Stone / Rasp / Bind, they're easy. However, they also cast Stonega, which takes away 80hp per cast. 3 Stonega's and it's time for a free Warp.
Note: If you wander towards the middle of (E-11) there is a Goblin that will aggro you. He can be avoided if you keep an attentive eye on him, but he will kill you in 1-2 hits. (He did 252dmg to my 17RNG/WHM with his Ranged Attack) ♠ GRΘÐ∩RK ♠ » Talk « 04:45, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
Levels 18-24(25)
- Land Worms in Korroloka Tunnel.
- Recommended to do worms only, and look out for links.
- Important! At level 24 Utsusemi becomes available with the Ninja subjob.
- This is extremely useful for soloing as it will absorb nearly all spells cast on you by the worms.
- Due to the soloing capabilities of many jobs like SMN, PUP and DNC, competition for mobs might be heavy. With the the introduction of level snyc, low-level parties are seen camping in these areas too.
Levels 25-30
- Back to Maze of Shakhrami for Abyss Worms.
- These should bring you close to 30.
- Abyss Worms are aggressive, located deeper inside Maze of Shakhrami, and generally surrounded by other aggressive mobs such as Wights and Scorpions. They will now cast Stone II as well which can inflict reasonable damage if it lands.
- Silent Oils, Prism Powders, and HP Recovery items are highly recommended if soloing without the aid of a PL.
Levels 30-35
- Rock Eater in North Gustaberg (S) along the road from (H-7) to (I-5). Again, nothing here will aggro you once you are here except there are Goblins at the northern part of (I-5)and Quadavs at (H-7) that you would want to be careful of. Also, on your way out to camp, if it is night time, Undead will spawn there but nothing that you cannot run around from.
- Before you start, you may want to have a Pixie tracked in your Widescan so you can find it to heal up back from yellow or red.
- With Utsusemi and Bloody Bolts and a wandering Pixie, there should be almost zero down time at all. Make sure you bring enough Bolts and Arrows as well as level appropriate new Bows. Also, bring 1-2 stacks of Fire Crystal to turn all the ores into ingot to save space.
- If you don't want to spend all that money on Utsusemi and Bloody Bolts, you could always level Dancer. Yeah, that's right, /DNC works even on RNG. The Drain Samba won't do much for you, but you should easily get way more TP than needed to heal yourself back up after each worm, with the heal dance you get at 15DNC.
- At Lvl.32 you could sub White Mage and use Silence. As a Taru with capped enfeebling (no merits), I was able to silence rather reliably. With refresh and regen from sigil, you can solo without ever having to rest (Barstonra and Divine Seal every 10 minutes make soloing here a breeze). -- Boogers on Hades
- Get Signet. With the new bonuses your healing time will be reduced significantly.
- Every 2 hours go find a tougher mob and Eagle Eye Shot it if you like.
- Until you get Ranged Accuracy+ rings/earrings, use earrings that give you + for resistance against worm spells.
- Try to stand in the "sweet spot" while shooting. [See chart on the distance page]
- Upgrade your equipment as it becomes available.
- Keep 1 or 2 potions on hand in case you get bound.
- /check your worms before you engage. Be sure not to bite off more than you can chew.
- Always keep in mind that it is OK to run if you need to. Dying is a lot of unnecessary downtime.
- Most importantly, be aware of your surroundings, as all Rangers should. Some worms pop in groups, and linking all of them at once can cause you some major pain.
- Get Sigil if you are going to solo in the past. Sigil is great since you can have Regen, Refresh and Extended Meal Duration on it. Refresh is especially helpfully when you are subbing WHM or BLU. (Dreamin 21:23, 25 March 2008 (UTC))
- I don't know if this is common knowledge, but you can use the in-game radar to minimize the amount of times the worms hit you with any spell. I will assume you are using a great or long bow, and not the smaller bows. The idea is to stand at max distance (the worm will barely appear pink on the in-game radar) and simply move out of range as soon as it starts casting a spell. The tradeoff is that you will deal slightly less damage, you will be out of range for any weaponskills, and that you will likely not hit higher chains as you avoid being cast on. The upside is that you can sub pretty much anything you want once you become familiar with spellcasting delay and the range of the worms.
- Marksmanship and Archery
Depending on your server's food market you may have different options available.
- Levels 1-10: Roast Pipira, Rarab Meatball
- Levels 11-25: Mutton Tortilla, Blackened Frog, Navarin
- Levels 26-50: Dhalmel Stew, Dhalmel Pie, Rice Dumpling
- Levels 1-40ish : Flounder Meuniere has the best Ranged Attack, Ranged Accuracy stats until Sushi gives solid boosts to both
- Author's Note: In my experience on Midgard much of the above food is not readily available save for Rice Dumplings which is what I used for the majority of my levelling.
Alternative Food:
- Levels 1-20: Sausage - available from NPC in Bastok Dreamin 22:07, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
- Levels 20-35: Rice Dumpling
Alternative alternative food:
- Pot-au-feu provides solid boosts to both RAcc and RAtt. The exact percentages are unknown, but the fact it boosts both of the important stats (boosts to AGI and STR are just gravy) make it a solid choice once you move on from the +30% attack baby food that caps at a bonus of 15 attack.

Unconscionability in European Private Financial Transactions: Protecting the Vulnerable
Given the unprecedented recent turmoil on financial markets we now face radically challenged, 'post-Lehmann' assumptions on protecting the vulnerable in financial transactions. This collection of essays explores conceptions of, and responses to, unconscionability and similar notions across Europe with specific reference to financial transactions. It presents a detailed analysis of concepts of unconscionability in Europe against a backdrop of Commission initiatives aimed, variously, at securing a single market in financial services, producing greater coherence in EC consumer protection law and consolidating European private law. This analysis illustrates, for example, that concepts of unconscionability depend on context and can be shaped by a variety of factors. It also illustrates that jurisdictions may choose to respond to questions of unconscionability through a variety of legal instruments located in different branches of the law rather than through a single doctrine. Thus this collection illuminates many of the obstacles facing harmonisation in this area.

Willie Mason was finally lost for words yesterday - put on the spot by a little boy.
The Blues forward couldn't escape his past during a visit to the Sydney Children's Hospital.
After being handed a microphone, a little boy named Logan said: "Willie Mason, why have you been in so much trouble?"
As the room erupted in laughter, an amused Mason said, "I'm stumped" before the function host saved the day.
"He's been a naughty boy at school. Boys and girls, what happens when you are a naughty boy at school? You get sent to the corner. Willie Mason go sit in the corner," the host said.
Mason dutifully walked to the corner of the stage and sat down.

Washington (AFP) Oct 23, 2008
A 15 billion dollar contract award for a new fleet of combat search-and-rescue helicopters has been delayed until next year due to a "minor" change in the terms of the bid, the US Air Force said Thursday.
It was the second time in recent weeks that a major air force acquisition program has been left for the next administration to decide, following last month's cancellation of a 35 billion dollar contract for a new generation of air refueling tanker planes.
Sue Payton, the service's assistant secretary for acquisition, ordered "a minor amendment to the request for proposal" to the so-called CSAR-X contract, which will be released soon, the air force said in a statement.
"The purpose of the amendment is to further clarify how Air Force officials will make the source selection decision," it said, adding that it would result in a "minor delay" to the award of the contract.
Lieutenant Colonel Ann Stefanek, an air force spokeswoman, said the delay would push back a decision on the winner from December 2008 "into the new year, but we don't know how far."
The so-called CSAR-X contract is for new combat search and rescue helicopters to replace the ageing fleet of HH-60 Pave Hawks.
It was initially awarded to Boeing, but was recompeted in 2006 after an audit upheld protests by rivals Lockheed Martin and Sikorsky.
The Defense Department's inspector general is currently conducting an investigation into how requirements for the new helicopter were developed.
But the air force said the change was unrelated to the investigation, which it said was expected to be completed later this year.
"Air Force officials have full confidence in the CSAR-X source selection process," the statement said.
"The clarification underscores their commitment to a fair and transparent competition, consistent with the secretary of the Air Force's focus on acquisition excellence."

It seems to me that the point in time at which it is *really* appropriate to put this into the backend is when the new GUC variable "dead_tuple_map_size" (akin to FSM) is introduced, and there is a new sort of 'VACUUM DEAD TUPLES' command which goes through the DTPM (Dead Tuple Page Map).

HTC One X vs HTC 8X - How They Compare
4.4By Athanasios Zarkadas September 25, 2012 02:04 PM
Htcpedia news:
With the HTC 8X looking like the Flagship HTC Windows Phone 8 device, I thought it would be good to match it up against the Flagship HTC Android device, the HTC One X.
Before I get into that, I will say that I think the HTC One S is a better comparison to the HTC 8X because the screen size and that the processor are the same. The display may be the same size as the HTC One S but the quality is completely different. Plus the HTC 8X is an LTE smartphone and the HTC One S is not.
The HTC 8X has a S-LCD2 capacitive touchscreen at 4.3 inches and 342ppi. The HTC One X on the other hand has a S-LCD2 capacitive touchscreen at 4.7 inches and only 312ppi. In this scenario I would say that the HTC 8X has a better pixel density but it is hardly noticeable. The larger 4.7inch display is very noticeable though. It all depends on your personal preference for display quality.
When we move into dimensions, the two are pretty close. The HTC One X comes in at 134.4 x 69.9 x 8.9 mm and 130g while the HTC 8X is 132.4 x 66.2 x 10.1 mm and 130g. When you take into consideration that the HTC 8X has a smaller display, you would expect a thinner and lighter smartphone. That is not the case. The HTC 8X is clearly thicker.
Moving on to processor speeds, the two are identical. They both have the Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual core processor with 1GB of RAM. We will have to wait and see how the HTC 8X handles the Snapdragon S4 while running on Windows Phone 8.
The rear cameras are very similar till you get to abilities. The HTC 8X has a 8MP camera that can take 1080 video and snap shots while doing so. The HTC One X has the same 8MP camera but can also take pictures while watching the videos that you have recorded. Plus can shot in SLR type format. The HTC One X wins with the rear camera but does not even compare with the front camera.
The HTC 8X has a 2.1MP front face camera that can record in 1080, which brings video chat to a new level. The HTC One X has a 1.3MP camera that records in 720.
Now we come to sound quality where the HTC 8X has a definite edge. The new HTC 8X comes with Beats Audio sound profiles with and amplified system inside. The amplified system works with headphones and the HTC 8X's speaker. The HTC ONE X has Beats as well but it only works with the headphone jack and does not have an amplified system.
The last thing is the battery. They are both close but close does not count here. The HTC One X has a 1800mAh battery and the HTC 8X has a 1700mAh battery. Both of them run on a 28nm processor and are both 4G LTE smartphones. If you go by the numbers then the HTC One X wins, but we will have to wait and see because the smaller display on the HTC 8X may require a lot less power.
The HTC One X and the HTC 8X are both incredible smartphones and it comes down to personal preference on operating systems. Just to note that this comparison is of the US version of the HTC One X. The international version does not work on LTE but comes with the Tegra3 1.5GHz quad core processor.
