It's getting easier to get approved for a mortgage.
According to the Federal Reserve, banks are loosening mortgage standards nationwide; and, lenders are now approving more applications than during any period this decade.
The banks aren't getting reckless, though -- they're just coming to realize that standards may have toughened too much after last decade's losses.
"The Pendulum", as some in the business say, is swinging back to common sense. As a result, lenders now treat credit card debt completely differently then they have in the past, which is helping first-time home buyers and refinancing households.
If you've been turned for a mortgage in the recent past, it's a good idea to re-apply. You may get approved today.Click to see today's rates (Jul 25th, 2017)
Qualifying for a mortgage is simpler than it used to be. Not only have mortgage approval standards loosened since the start of the decade, but consumers have greater access to mortgage lenders than during any point in history.
Brick-and-mortgage banks are seemingly everywhere and, for consumers with existing banking relationship, branches can be an excellent place to give a mortgage applications for a conventional loan, FHA loan, VA loan, or USDA loan.
Examples of retail banks include Wells Fargo, Bank of America, US Bank, and JPMorgan Chase.
Or, for consumers who prefer to shop with non-bank lenders, there's a bevy of online lenders with which to work. Quicken Loans, for example, is now a top national lender in terms of volume; and relocation lenders such as PHH Mortgage are sizable, too.
But, the first step in getting approved for a mortgage is to inquire about one. That can be as simple as walking into a branch, or even asking for today's mortgage rates online.
As part of the conversation, you will be asked about your income, your bank accounts, and your housing history. If you're a renter with no history of homeownership, expect to be asked about your last several places of residence.
The mortgage application process will also include questions about your citizenship and employment history, as well as your current debtor obligations.
Debtor obligations are discovered using a current credit report which your lender will ask you to provide.
It's at your discretion whether you want to give access to your credit, but remember that your lender can't give an accurate rate quote without knowing your exact credit score; and that having a lender check your FICO does very little damage to your score.
After reviewing your information and feeding it into a software program known as a "decisioning engine", your lender can tell you whether your loan is approved as-is, or with changes to your requested loan size.Click to see today's rates (Jul 25th, 2017)
Nearly two-thirds of loan applications are approved by today's mortgage lenders. Going forward, though, that number is expected to increase. This is because lenders are changing the way they calculate an applicant's debt.
The change will benefit applicants who use credit cards monthly, and both home buyers and homeowners looking to refinance will benefit.
Under the new rules, which apply to conforming mortgages, credit card debt is treated differently.
For credit cards which are paid in full at closing, lenders are no longer required to "close" the credit card in order to exclude it from the applicant's debt-to-income (DTI) calculation.
A credit card paid-in-full no longer counts against an applicant's DTI.
There are several groups of consumers this change will benefit. The first group is credit card holders who pay their monthly balances in full each month.
Previously, lenders used whatever mid-statement balance a credit card reported to the credit bureaus -- TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian -- then multiplied that figure by 0.05 to determine the card's "monthly obligation".
A $10,000 American Express balance would add $500 to a consumer's obligations, for example.
Now, under the new rules, that American Express card's monthly debt is $0, which lowers the applicant's debt-to-income and makes it easier to get mortgage-qualified.
The second consumer group which benefits from the DTI rule change is existing homeowners doing a debt consolidation; refinancing and using home equity to pay down credit cards.
Under the new mortgage rules, credit cards paid off at closing via a debt consolidation no longer count against a person's DTI. Previously, cards were required to be paid and closed. Closing cards is no longer required.
The third group is comprised of home buyers and refinance applicants who find themselves close to qualifying, but whose debt-to-income levels fall just outside today's requirements.
For applicants on the brink of qualifying, cash in the bank can be used to pay down cards at closing, in order to lower DTI and get approved.
Even for cards with a balance of $250 or less, this can mean the difference between getting approved and getting turned down. Your lender can help you determine which cards should be paid down to help you get approved.
Mortgage approval rates are at their highest levels this decade and, with changes meant to help today's borrowers, approval rates are expected to climb into 2017.

Family Village lets you create a pedigree chart (or input data from the FamilyLink Facebook app) and "immigrate" ancestors from the chart into your Family Village. You can outfit them in historical attire, assign them jobs, and build out the village with houses, landscaping and more (including heritage-related items like international flags and the Eiffel Tower).
The game also searches several websites for free genealogy records related to the information in your pedigree chart, and let you import those records into a family library. You can invite Facebook friends into your village to check out the library.
Partnerships with additional providers of genealogy records and other content are in the works, says Jeff Wells, CEO of Family Village developer Funium. He cautions, though, that the game is "not a research tool."
You can play Family Village for free, with the option to spend actual cash (in the form of "game dollars") on some of your ancestors' purchases. For example, every ancestor gets a newspaper printed on the day he or she was born. You'll view the headlines, and you can buy a copy of the whole thing.
The game adheres to Facebook privacy standards, wells says, with privacy settings you can adjust.
Wells got the idea for Family Village when his family didn't share his excitement over his genealogical finds. "We wanted to do something that would end up being a segue way for people who don't have the interest to get involved in family history," he says.
According to Wells, 300 million people play social games each month, and 3 to 4 percent of those players spend money on the games. He's hoping genealogists' spouses and teenagers will get interested in Family Village and learn more about their heritage.
Will you play Family Village? Do you think it'll appeal to those already into genealogy, or will other people get hooked on it, too?

text: Gay Body Blog is yet another fabulous example of what is available to the true connoisseur of fabulous male photography. Underwear ads, models galore, porn stars, movie stars and celebrities of all stripes generally enjoy attention and make themselves as ubiquitous as possible. And we help! The generosity of photographers and models knows no limit, it seems, allowing us access to some quite impressive and sumptuous work. That the guys are gorgeous to look at is one thing. In many cases, such as in those this author takes on, the photographers might even be the stars of the show. In some cases, this author and this blog take on a developmental angle, featuring someone whose body so obviously transforms from early, say less impressive realms, to those reflecting the hard work of body development. Chiseled arms, abs, legs suddenly make an almost complete makeover for many of these models and actors. The blog itself deals with this phenomenon of body work and the results - especially the results. Combining a clear eye for body work detail and another great eye for modeling talent, this blog is a fascinating look at the male form from the greatest examples of classical male beauty and the creation of awesomely-sculpted musculature.

What does Gil want from me, a sentence about how movingly the Haredim pray?
But that is also, Dyer argues (convincingly, movingly, and sometimes confusingly) how the war was for those who fought it.
His anger over her death (which movingly spills out every dozen pages or so) overrides his desire to "move on" from her death.
"I 'ould not show you," she begged him—movingly begged him—to believe.
Appletree, for his part, spoke so movingly that the people all wept with him.
Young Spaniard movingly but vainly pleads for death instead of whipping.
In good sooth, he swore to t so movingly, twas quite piteous to hear him.
Raven felt the blood mounting to his face, she was so movingly beautiful in this scene of honest but unlovely mediocrity.
What, indeed, has become of that mystery of the Printed Word, of which Carlyle so movingly wrote?
And as she so movingly prayed and promised to behave better, he raised her up and made peace with her.

BB-HCM371A is rated out of 5 by 11.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Works quite well I have 4 of them and just ordered a BB-HCM371A for outside use. If you're familiar with setting up any wireless device (set SSID, IP mode DHCP or static, set the WEP encryption key, etc) you should no problem setting this up. The audio quality on the mic. is excellent, you can hear every word in the room, furnace noise, planes flying over, etc. It IS sort of like being there. The only downside is the frame rate is a bit lower than 30 FPS, and depends a lot on the connection speed. Works well for monitoring elderly parents that want to stay in their own home but need a little extra attention.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Camera Tech Savy users - setup challenging Great camera. Great Support. The support I received went beyond what I have had with other devices. It takes some time to figure it out but the manual covers "most" of it and certain routers can be a challenge. Read other reviews here and pick up some hints. The WEP is outdated but I created a second network with a spare router to overcome this. I own 2 of these now.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Returning tomorrow Would not work on wireless even after many hours of trying. I was then told it has problems with Windows 7. Finally using WEP security is way out of date. I have a few other Panasonic wireless cameras that do work but this must be an old design.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Not "really" for outdoors I agree with the reviews that this is not for the technically challenged. I am a 20 yr IT pro and ended up having to use an Ethernet crossover cable to configure this. It did not like my Linksys E3000 router. Once I mounted it, I was disappointed to find that the power supply is for INDOOR USE ONLY. Ummm, isn't this an outdoor camera??!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Configuring this webcam with later Airport Extreme I wrote a review earlier noting I was disappointed that this wireless webcam only supports WEP encryption, which is abysmal. Additionally my Apple Airport Extreme wireless router does not support WEP encryption (probably because WEP is pretty useless against anyone with tech savvy these days -- they just have to google for the a script that can break the encryption within a few minutes). I have disabled security because I'm not terribly worried about people hacking into my wireless network, and I set up mac filtering (which is also pseudo-security at best). As an FYI to anyone else trying to work around this and using the mac filtering as a workaround: There are three mac addresses associated with this webcam, and all of them have to be added to your mac filter in order to for you to be able to access the webcam images: 1. The MAC printed on the back of the webcam - the MAC associated with the ethernet card 2. The MAC associated with the wireless card, which the instruction manual tells us is one value higher than the ethernet MAC. 3. The MAC belonging to the camera itself. This can be found in the camera admin pages, under maintenance. Scroll down and look for "BSSID" ... notice how it looks like a MAC address. Add this address to your mac filter's "allowed" devices.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great camera I have purchased a total of 3 of these cameras now, the oldest one is well over a year old. They work fabulous and the picture quality is great. I had originally used them as wireless, however, these cameras will only support WEP and I'm running WPA/WPA2 so that is a drawback. However, I use them to look after my second home and have them set up to detect motion and upload pictures to a FTP site. That works great. The documentation is not the best, but playing around with the setup and camera itself have taught me quite a few things. Overall, excellent product. I would consider myself an expert in computer hardware, software, and network configuration.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Product but not for the rookie install-wise From a product performance point of view, this camera is outstanding and very full featured. The framerate to image quality selection provides a good blend of control between image quality and framerate/motion of movement. Brightness controls allow for adequate light control in high and low light conditions. The pan angle span of 120 degrees (60 degress left and right of dead center) is only a bit limited, but acceptable given it's a totally enclosed dome protecting the camera. The tilt angle of 45 degrees down/20 up from dead center) is more than adequate for viewing the ground and sky for home needs unless you have th need to look straight up for some reason. The 35' power cord was more than enough for us to run power from the camera mounted under a covered porch through the side of the house and plug into a wall socket. The audio quality is good (we can hear bird chirping with ease). The camera controls are very intuitive and easy to use. An especially nice feature is what I'd call the positional reference point of the pan and tilt buttons. When you click them, they pan or tilt the full 120/65 degree pan/tilt span from the position of the lens and return to the position the lens was in when you click. So if you are say, 30 degrees to the left of center and click pan, the lens pans 30 more degress to the left, 120 degress to the right, then back 90 degress back to the original 30 degree left of center start position. It also holds whatever zoom setting you are in during all pans and tilts, either using auto pan/tilt or manual arrows. The 10X zoom is just OK as the image degrades in resolution quality rather quickly as the zoom factor increases. The Zoom does, however, have a mouse (slow) as well as right click (fast) zoom speeds. Now the bad news. Installation is not for the rookie. You'd best be pretty PC/network savvy with good troubleshooting and problem solving skills before you take on installation. My wife and I work in IT and are pretty tech savvy and it took us two weekends to finally figure out that the instructions were missing some steps in set up that kept the remote (browser) control feature from connecting. Yes, setting it up to control onsite isn't hard, but the main reason we bought this camera was to watch over our mountian house via an PC from anywhere. THAT part took some doing to finally figure out. Once installed and fully operational, this camera ROCKS. The color is excellent. it also operates at -5 degrees below freezing; a must for up here in the NC mountains in winter. Highly recommend this product. We'll be getting another one.

text: This patch was originally posted on Aug 29, 2008: http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=122005218312005&w=2 Now, reposting based on comments received from Alasdair. ---------------------- Moving the path activation to workqueue along with scsi_dh patches introduced a race. It is due to the fact that the current_pgpath (in the multipath data structure) can be modified if changes happen in any of the paths leading to the lun. If the changes lead to current_pgpath being set to NULL, then it leads to the invalid access which results in the panic below. This patch fixes that by storing the pgpath to activate in the multipath data structure and properly protecting it. Note that if activate_path is called twice in succession with different pgpath, with the second one being called before the first one is done, then activate path will be called twice for the second pgpath, which is fine.

Lakota Summer, Brianna Ray & Kristen Cameron – Licking Ladies
Released: October 22, 2011
Lakota and Bree came over to my place with the intent of helping me make treats for the kids. We were on schedule until Bree started to sensually feed Lakota strawberries. Watching Lakota lick her lips after every bite got my juices flowing so I started to rub my pussy. The girls joined in and we had an orgy on top of the kitchen table.

Hi All,

 Hoping someone can help me with this. :)
 I have a cluster with several logon nodes. I do this with SUBMITHOSTS in the torque.cfg.
 When a user submits a job with something like the following in the pbs script:

 #PBS -m ae
 #PBS -M firstname.lastname@example.com

 is there any other setup required on the torque side of things to get it to send email? I don't see that it is attempting to send the email at all. What mechanism does pbs use to send the mail?

 On another cluster Ihave that has only one login server, I don't have a problem with the server sending mail.

 Thank you so much for any help you can offer!

Terrell Wells seventh, eighth grade teams go undefeated
Updated 9:51 am, Wednesday, November 7, 2012
The seventh- and eighth-grade volleyball teams from Terrell Wells Middle School recently finished the season undefeated with 7-0 records.
This marks the second year in a row that the eighth-grade team has won the district title.
"Isn't that just awesome? This championship title for our eighth grade is back-to-back titles for them," said Anita Galvan, the head volleyball coach for both teams.
Galvan has been coaching the girls' volleyball team at Terrell Wells for 11 years. This is the team's fourth championship.
"We enjoy working with these athletes because they work hard in the gym and in class," Galvan said. "They keep their grades up so we can concentrate on their training."

I might pounce on the "Cyber Monday" offer. There are several items at StarbucksStore.com that I've been eyeing for over a week. In particular, I really want this Puerto Rico coffee, available as an online item only! I've had Starbucks' Puerto Rico coffee before, and I know it's a nice treat. Actually, I now need a grinder at home, and I've been eyeing this one here. The one thing I really wanted sold out super fast. Starbucks briefly offered a 2012 collectible holiday ornament bedazzled in crystals, available only on StarbucksStore.com. Sadly, it sold out quickly.

text: Tuesday, December 28, 2004 Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Mobile Live Fire Training Simulators The Federal Register FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ken Gilliam, Senior Fire Fighting Specialist, Airport Safety and Operations Division, AAS-300, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, telephone (407) 812-6331, ext 34. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 1988 revision of 14 Code of Federal Regulations part 139, Certification and Operations: Land Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers, section 139.319(j)(3) requires "All rescue and fire fighting personnel participate in at least one live fire drill every 12 months." 52 FR 44276 (Nov. 18, 1997) (effective Jan. 1, 1988). At the time this rule was promulgated, hydrocarbon fuels, such as diesel or jet-A, fueled the training facilities. In the early 1990s, Federal and State environmental protection agencies began banning such facilities because of ground contamination from the fuel. As a result, the FAA assisted in developing Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) fired facilities. The FAA funded these facilities throughout the country. The FAA refers to them as regional training facilities because, mostly, they were intended to serve an area of more than one state. The aim was for a fire fighter to travel to the nearest training facility and receive both classroom and live fire training. FAA's position has been that all ARFF personnel should be exposed to live ground rule fire fighting, either at their home airport or at a regional training facility. The size of the fire at a training facility was to be commensurate with the type of air carrier service that could be expected to serve the airport of the ARFF personnel. In the mid-1990's, industry, with the assistance of FAA, developed a mobile fire training simulator that could be transported from airport to airport on trucks. The simulations allowed for engine fires, interior fires, wheel well fires, and cargo hold fires. However, one of the drawbacks of the first models of the mobile simulator was that they did not provide for a ground fire. In the late 1990's industry was able to develop a grid system ancillary to the simulator that provided a ground fire of limited size. The FAA published a Notice of Proposed Policy: Request for Comments in the Federal Register on September 18, 2003, at 54772, seeking public comment on whether we should allow firefighters at Index C, D, and E airports to meet the section 139.319 requirements using the mobile trainers every year. The advantages and disadvantages of using Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainers for annual training by all airports were outlined in the Notice of Proposed Policy. Twenty-six comments were entered on Docket number 16171. Sixteen comments were in favor of using mobile trainers for index C, D, and E airports and ten were against. Two of the sixteen in favor included stipulations. Commenters in favor (16) provided the following reasons: 1. Flexibility (5)--more training variables available 2. Economic (10)--lower individual student and operational cost 3. Training with local procedures and equipment (10)--students can train on the same equipment they use every day, rather than the equipment maintained at a regional facility 4. Frequency of training (4)--can increase with mobile trainers 5. Cross training with structural and mutual aid companies (7)--local training can include the local government municipal firefighters and emergency services that would back up the airport ARFF department 6. Use with tri-annual exercises (7) 7. FAA inspector use (1)--able to observe 8. Train while maintaining index (1)--crews remain in service on site 9. Mobility (4) 10. Used in search and rescue training (2) 11. Uses modern and high technology (2) 12. Reduces pollution from large pit fires (1) 13. Increases fire fighter proficiency (1) 14. All associated agencies can participate (1)--non fire 15. Train at different locations on the airport (1) 16. Experience in past use is favorable (1) Commenters opposed (10) provided the following reasons: 1. Size--a mobile trainer does not provide the perception of a large incident (10) 2. Cost should not be a factor--there should not be a price on safety (3) 3. Mobile trainers should not replace fixed facilities (2) 4. Increased use of mobile trainers will have an adverse impact on fixed facilities (4) 5. New Large aircraft coming will further the problems of training (1)--(Although we note that any aircraft in the new large aircraft category would require Index E ARFF capability, and could not operate at the Index A, B, or C airports). 6. Not environmentally friendly because of the water run off (1) 7. Larger facilities are better and provide greater quality (1) 8. Lowers standards (3) Some specific comments made by various organizations individuals were: . The American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) opposed the increased use of the mobile trainer for index C, D, and E stating the FAA should: 1. Stay with the current policy 2. Conduct further study 3. Develop a policy that provides flexibility and also maintains the present policy . Eight members of AAE and Airports Council International--North America commented, some for and some against the proposal. . The Air Line Pilots Association opposed the use of mobile trainers, citing the elimination of fixed facilities and the smaller size of the mobile trainers. . Two international commenters, Transport Canada and Concord Express Limited, opposed the use of the mobile trainer, citing the size of the pool fire and the size of the mock-up as the reason. . One commenter in favor of the use of mobile trainers each year at all airports made the point that while fighting a large fire is important, it is only a part of ARFF. He goes on the say "The tactics used on a 10,000 gallon ground fuel spill fire and a 5,000 gallon ground spill fire using an ARFF truck are going to be the same. The mandate is that a fire of a certain size be fought; it does not go on to specify how it is to be fought. The tactics will vary by airport, because the equipment will vary. Since the airport decides on the type of equipment it buys, and on the tactics it will use, it should also decide on the best training options available." . The FAA received a letter from a tenant fire-fighting department on an airport extolling the virtues of the mobile simulator. According to the letter, the mobile simulator was found to be a helpful and realistic trainer. It went on to say that the simulator allows fire crews to use both hand lines and ARFF truck turrets, and easily simulates interior and exterior aircraft fires. Recognizing the virtues and shortcomings of both systems and the diversity of opinions in the airport community as well as in the ARFF community, the FAA will adopt this policy for the following reasons: the use of the mobile trainer will allow more flexibility with the fire fighters training on their own equipment at local facilities with local procedures and equipment, allow for greater frequency of training, training with structural and mutual aid companies, provide training of crews without the need to travel and in some cases without crews being out of service, training at different locations on a local airport, provides many variable scenarios placing emphasis on incidents responded to on a daily bases as opposed to the pool fire encountered infrequently, and allows for more frequent training therefore lowering individual student and operational cost. The reduction in pool size is offset in that the mobile trainer provides fire evolutions similar to what is actually being offered by the larger facilities today. Many burn only one fourth the size of the pit due to economic reasons. In finding that an airport has met the requirement of 14 CFR 139.319(i)(3), the FAA will accept the use of mobile training simulators for 2 years for Class I Index C, D, and E airports. Every third year, these airport fire departments will be required to attend a large fixed facilities as referenced in the Advisory Circular AC150/5220-17A to learn about new technologies and procedures and to gain experience fighting a larger pit fire than the mobile simulators can duplicate. For Class I airports that are Index A and B, and for Class II, III, and IV airports, they may continue to use the mobile trainer every year to meet the 14 CFR part 139 requirements. Issued in Washington, DC, on November 30, 2004. David L. Bennet, Director, Office of Airport Safety and Standards. Do you have an opinion about this story?

This is the repaired cup. This time we were able to perform a complete restoration. As with all restorations of this type the cup should be displayed and not used on a regular basis. Probably what the client wanted to do anyway. When a repaired item like this is to be used it should be hand washed and carefully towel dried. No hash soaps should be used.
This is an eighteenth century wedding cup. The owner is an 85 year old man who's wife had recently died. He had given her the cup on their wedding day over 60 years before. The cup was old when they got it and it had been broken in the 1960's and put in a drawer. When the gentleman's wife died he decided to have it restored to remember her by and to pass along to the children and grandchildren.

Reports: Knicks agree to re-sign Pablo Prigioni on three-year deal
The Knicks have agreed to re-sign unrestricted free agent point guard Pablo Prigioni to a three-year contract, according to multiple reports.
Newsday reports that Prigioni will receive a three-year deal worth approximately $6 million, with a partial guarantee on the third year. ESPNNY.com also reported that player and team have reached an agreement.
The free-agent negotiating period opened on Monday. Contracts can't officially be signed until July 10.
Prigioni, 36, averaged 3.5 points and 3 assists in his rookie year for the Knicks last season, raising those numbers to 4.5 points and 3.2 assists during the playoffs.
The Argentinian's arrival in the NBA came after a long and illustrious career in Spanish's ACB league, but he proved last season that he still has plenty of game left. A nifty passer who sees the floor well, Prigioni showed good command in the halfcourt, posted a top-2o assist-to-turnover ratio and knocked down 39.6 percent of his three-point attempts. Despite Prigioni's age New York was markedly better on defense when he was on the court last season (100.9 points per 100 possessions) than when he was on the bench (104.7 points per 100 possessions). His net rating of +8.0 was the highest among Knicks players who played at least 1,000 minutes.
It's hard to get much better production than that from the rookie minimum price New York paid last summer. All told, he was a nice contrast to Raymond Felton, whose game is oriented toward a drive-and-kick style, and his play probably earned more time than he received in a crowded backcourt.
With Jason Kidd jumping ship to coach the Nets, Prigioni's retention was crucial for the Knicks, who are operating in a tight salary cap position with big deals on the books for Carmelo Anthony, Amar'e Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler and Andrea Bargnani. He ensures that Felton, who is prone to episodes of streak shooting and questionable decisions, isn't asked to carry the entire burden and he offers a reliable floor-spacing option for the perimeter-heavy offense coach Mike Woodson has constructed around Anthony.Grade: A+ . On a team known for its opulent spending, Prigioni is value defined, a sweet find for the Knicks last summer and a smart re-signing here. Not only does he return excellent production relative to his cost, he does so at a position of increasing need for the Knicks. After securing the first playoff series victory since 2000, the Knicks remain fully in "go" mode for the duration of Anthony's and Chandler's deals, which expire after the 2015 season. Age is the only real concern, but that is mitigated by the fact that Prigioni isn't expected to play enormous minutes. Plus, the Knicks even took the extra step of adding a partial guarantee on the final year of the deal in case his game unexpectedly falls off a cliff (a la Kidd).


text: ^+1 To talk about Yohji again, I remember reading an interview where he said the reason that he doesn't wear that type of "golden ratio" tailored clothing is because it makes him look very small, diminutive... almost like a kid in a suit. As such, he likes a larger proportion because it gives him (in his words) more "presence." Seeing how he looks in his own clothes, and imagining him or anyone of his body-type/build wearing a more classically tailored item, makes me see his point. Obviously, what works for one doesn't work for another, which is why "rules" don't hold up across the board. A guy with Tom Ford's build obviously looks GREAT in TF's type of tailoring, but put TF in Yohji and he'll not look great either.

It takes more than brainpower to succeed in school, in a career, and in life. It takes a certain mindset — a constellation of traits, behaviors, and attitudes collectively referred to as noncognitive skills. But what, exactly, are the noncognitive factors that matter, especially when it comes to college success and a strong start in adulthood? (And, for that matter, what does "noncognitive factors" even mean?)
A new summary report [PDF] by HGSE senior lecturer Mandy Savitz-Romer and Boston College associate professor Heather Rowan-Kenyon is trying to answer just those questions. The report describes a research project aimed at identifying the noncognitive skills — also called social-emotional and affective (SEA) skills — that are most important for college and career. The report also looks at how those skills are being developed and assessed.
Based on their review of the literature, the researchers developed three broad categories of SEA skills and traits that are relevant to success in academic and employment settings:
The big takeaway:
As Savitz-Romer and Rowan-Kenyon found, SEA factors are defined, valued, and promoted differently in higher education and employment contexts, a disconnection that serves neither sector's needs. Among their conclusions:
"Although we are seeing greater reference to these types of skills in the media and among those working in higher education and the workforce, growth in this area is hindered by the fact that these skills are not yet well defined or understood by those in the field," says Savitz-Romer. "In a field that lacks coherence, at the very least this research will provide a guide for better and more efficient practices and programs that align these skills with college completion and college readiness across two sectors that share an interest in seemingly similar skills."

Day 2,3 and 4 Around the South-West coast
Travelling around the countryside
02.10.2012 - 04.10.2012
I'm always up early, around 5.30am but I have to wait for everyone else to wake up.
Hurry up, I want to get out and explore!
Human Observation: Humans are ugly in the morning! Note to Mum - I appreciate you taking me for a walk every morning but maybe you could brush your hair and straighten your glasses before you take me out - how embarrassing!
It seems to take my parents ages to get going. I'm easy - just a pee, a poo and some food and I'm ready to go. Meanwhile the oldies are flaffing around making coffee, taking showers, packing day bags. I got so fed up with them that I jumped in the boot to wait for them to take me out!
We explored Port Fairy (nice beach that I could swim in), Koirot (saw some cows which I realised I was afraid of. I hid behind Dad but he made me go up to them, Port Campbell (nice beach which I wasn't supposed to go on. Mum said 'no, we shouldn't go on the beach if dogs aren't allowed'. Dad said 'who cares, let's just go', so of course we went), Hopkins Falls and Timboon.
One morning we went on a huge walk on the walkway along the foreshore in Warrnambool. There were water stops along the way for dogs and humans. I was impressed! Had a swim at the Blue Hole which is where the Hopkins river meets the ocean. (not sure whether I was supposed to swim in it, though. I guess, probably not but when your with Dad he just lets you, whether you are supposed to or not! If it was up to Mum I wouldn't be allowed to do anything)
We also went to a place called Simon's Waterfront in Warrnambool. We sat outside and had a great view of the foreshore.
I've been exhausted the last few days so I've taken myself to bed every night at around 8pm!

For me, art is a journey of self-discovery. It is my own way of exploring, analyzing, and expressing my identity. My work represents a of natural objects, according to my own inspiration. I start with images of three-dimensional living things that I have photographed just everyday images that surround me. I am thereby making a statement about the relationship between peoples personalities and the societies in which they live. What the public sees is not the original image, but one that has been remade according to my own concepts.
Through my art work, I have attempted to explore the concept of People attempt to disguise who they really are by the way they speak and dress, or by changing their appearance through cosmetic surgery. To convey this idea of covering, my art uses human skin and plants to replace, or cover, the naturalness of the design of the original form. The flower tissue is replaced by human skin and other natural images. There is, of course, something artificial, something phony, about it all just as ones imitation of an idealized personality can never be more than an artificial construct.
Thank You!

Some days, my children are very observant - they notice every little thing around them, often picking out things I never would have seen. Other days, it seems like they're wearing blinders, unable to notice anything even if it sits right in front of their nose. It took awhile, but I think I've finally pinned down the cause: what they notice is change. When something is different, it's often immediately apparent, locked on to and discussed.I like to use the changing seasons - especially sum … [Read more...]

Where Babies Come From: A Heathen View
This month, Pagan Families is talking about where babies come from - what us bloggers believe about souls, birth, and how they all fit together. For Heathens, it can get a bit complicated.

Some believe that each new child is a completely new and unique being. I think my view fits somewhere in the middle.In Heathenry, many believe that a p … [Read more...]

The Titanium liners feature a beautiful polished finish with jimping on the liner lock and the knife is entirely put together with torx screws. There is a deep carry stainless steel pocket clip on this model, which is set up for my preferred carry of tip up right-handed, but is not set up to me moved to any other location. The 3-1/4" drop point, slightly recurved blade is made from Chad Nichols Stainless Damascus and features Butch's "Ball Custom Knives" logo. The blade absolutely jumps out of the handle with the flipper mechanism and smooth pivot bearing system and featured extremely functional jimping on both the flipper tang and thumb ramp for a very secure grip. This is an absolute work of art EDC folder with a nicely contoured handle to fit the hand and it really is a pleasurable knife to hold, to play with, and to show off to friends.

Sourcing For Cars To Sell In Ebay Car Auctions
KB Lim
Selling high-priced items such as ebay car auctions is getting more and more popular these days. In fact, according to ebay motors, a vehicle is sold every 10 seconds, a car part or accessories is sold every second. Over 10 million shoppers visit ebay motors every month looking to buy cars or car parts.
The reason why ebay car auctions are popular among ebay sellers is pretty obvious since the profits per sale are high. You only need to sell 1 to 2 cars on ebay motors each month to make a handsome profit.
So how do you find cars to sell on ebay motors? Basically I have used 2 ways.
Car Dealers
Believe it or not, there are still a lot of car dealers who are still advertising offline via the usual marketing methods such as advertising in car magazines, posters, tv and radio.
From my personal experience, the main reason why these car dealers do not sell on ebay motors is not because they do not know about ebay. It is because they do not have technical knowledge of uploading photos, putting auction description and such. One car dealer I know of have not touched a computer in his life!
So this is where you can come in and offer your services and in return if the car is sold successfully on ebay motors, you get a commission. I don't need to tell you even if it is a just 2 percent commission, you could still get a few hundred dollars easily.
Classified Ads
If you flip through your daily newspapers, you can probably find a lot of people trying to sell their cars in the classified ads section. Some of these people have been advertising for quite a while which could mean they did not manage to sell their cars.
You could contact them and offer to sell their car. Since they could not sell their car, it should not be too difficult to convince them to give you a shot at selling it. In return, you arrange with the car owner to receive a small commission for your work.
The above 2 methods have worked well for me. The good thing about both methods is you get to pick which cars you want to sell particularly for classified ads. If you have been on ebay motors for a while, you will realize certain types of cars sell better and more easily than others. Examples are classic or vintage cars. Basically cars that are rare or unusual.
One thing you have to note is most car dealers will probably not give you a exclusive time period to sell the car. Therefore in your auction, always state the car is on sale on other sites or other ways and that you reserve the right to end the auction early.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 4:16pm
Texas State is currently ranked 22 in the current MCLA poll. With a 10-3 overall record and 4-1 in the Lone Star Alliance, the Bobcats topped Texas A&M over the weekend to advance in the LSA tournament, in which the winner will get an automatic bid to the MCLA tournament. They next face Southern Methodist. MCLA Mag caught up with coach Chris Park as he prepares his team in the postseason.
When and why did you start coaching college lacrosse?
I started coaching when I was out of eligibility at Texas A&M and a Grad student. I coached under Tony Scazzero. I was his first, ever, assistant coach, he had always done it solo. I learned the ropes of playing from Tony, and I learned the ropes of coaching from Tony. I owe a lot to him, obviously, for my knowledge of the game and how to be an effective lacrosse coach and a leader of young men. That was back in the 2004 season of the USLIA.
Speaking of A&M what is it like to coach against the team you played for?
You know it's always exciting to match up against your mentor and the university that you played for. It brings a little extra excitement to the game, not only from a coaching perspective, but personally it's a lot of fun to be part of what has become a great rivalry. It's always weird when I show up to the field and I see the Aggie jerseys on the other side of the field, but once we get into warm-ups and we get locked and loaded it's all business. Texas State all the way.
What was your reaction after Texas State was recognized in the adidas Top 23 poll, and what does it mean to your team?
It's really been an exciting season thus far. We have a long way to go still, but it shows the progress we've made in the four years that I have been here and our coaching staff and what these seniors have put in. There has been a lot of work to get from where we were four years ago with this senior class to where we are today. It was truly a total team effort from the players, the coaches, alumni support, our fans and even to the administration. Everybody has a piece of the success that we are now having, especially being on the national level.
What was the best win this season to this point and why?
Right now the signature win for us is the road victory against Cal. At the time they were a top 15 program in the MCLA. Last year was the first year that Texas State had won some quality non-conference games. We had never really done it on the road and never against a top 20 program like Cal. That game was a signature win, because it kind of opened the eyes of some people across the country that the LSA is more than just your A&Ms, your Texas and your SMUs. Texas State can compete at that top 20 level and that is where we plan to be year in and year out.
In your opinion, what are some keys to developing a successful MCLA program?
First, it takes leadership at the top from a head coach. I really believe that and I'm not trying to say that it's because of me. I'm just saying, in general, you have got to have strong leadership at the top. You need to have a steady head coach who not only provides steady leadership from a coaching perspective Xs and Os wise, but your head coach needs to do a good job of organizing the program. Putting together a quality schedule and helping organize the team leaders to make financial goals to be able to travel on a national level to be able to have the equipment and the uniforms and the bags and all the things that make you look like a first-class MCLA program.
I understand that you work for Texas State in the Athletic Department. What do you do there and does that help you as a head coach?
My title is Assistant Athletic Director for Development at Texas State. I'm very fortunate to work in Division I college athletics everyday. I'm around quality division I coaches every day at my job and I learn a lot from them going through coaching 18 to 22-year-old young people. I'm always picking their brains. Just because we are varsity and they're club we still deal with the same situations in terms of getting your players motivated to play, dealing with injuries and team chemistry issues. So, I think very much so, the fact that I'm around professional Division I coaches every day doing it for a living and their paychecks depend on it. I learn a lot from how they manage their programs, how they deal with donors, how they handle travel and scheduling and just coaching young people in general. It definitely is a help to lean on those guys.
What do you like when you are away from the office and the lacrosse field?
My first passion is spending time with my family and my 1-year-old son Mathew. Working in college athletics I'm constantly at games and practice, so when I have free time I want to spend it with my family. When my wife allows me to spend time away from my family I like to play golf. That's my competitive outlet right now. You won't see me playing much lacrosse or hoops anymore; I've gotten the golf disease. So, any other MCLA guys that want to come out and play in our golf tournament come on down. I'll put you on my team and we have a fundraiser in the fall.
Thanks for taking the time to talk to me today Coach Park and good luck with the rest of your season!

Institute of English Studies
|Graduate school
Parent institution
|School of Advanced Study, University of London
|London, England, United Kingdom
The Institute of English Studies (abbreviated as IES) is a centre of excellence in the research, promotion and facilitation in the field English Literature and Language. With a specialisation in Book History, Palaeography and Textual Scholarship, the IES facilitates the advanced study and research of English Studies in the national and international academic community. The Institute, located in Senate House, London, is one of the ten institutes that together comprise the School of Advanced Study, University of London.
The Institute was founded as the Centre for English Studies in 1991.[1] Institute status was conferred by the University Council on 2 December 1998, and it officially became known as the Institute of English Studies on New Year's Day, 1999.[2]
Planned closure in 2014[edit]
In May 2014, London announced plans to close the Institute amidst a cut in funding to the SAS.[3]The work of the IES would have been then split between Institute of Historical Research and the Institute of Modern Languages Research[4]The proposal drew condemnation from academics, including members of the IES advisory board like Professors Robert Eaglestone and David McKitterick. McKitterick resigned as chairperson of the advisory board, saying the move would call into question '[London University's] academic commitment both to the subject and to wider responsibilities'.[5]A petition was launched by London University Vice-Chancellor Professor Sir Adrian Smith, with 3617 signatures. The planned closure was put on hold in late May; Roger Kain, dean and chief executive of the SAS, stated in a letter dated 23 May that 'concluded […] we need time to explore a wider range of options regarding the structure of SAS'. [6]
The Institute is partner in a number of important research networks and collaborations. In 2001 it helped establish the Centre for Manuscript and Print Studies, a collaboration between The British Library, St Bride Library, University of London Research Library Services (ULRLS), The English Department, University of Birmingham, School of English, University of Reading, Literature Department, Open University, The Shakespeare Institute, and The Centre for Textual Studies, De Montfort University. It also hosts and administers two prestigious and distinguished societies: The Bibliographical Society and The Malone Society.
The Institute is a leading organisation in the research of English Literary Studies where it hosts and manages a variety of research projects such as: A History of Oxford University Press, the T. S. Eliot Editorial Project, the Virtual Museum of Writing, Revising the Canon of Elizabethan Drama, A Catalogue of English Literary Manuscripts, 1450–1700, an Old-Spelling Edition of the Works of John Ford and The Oxford Francis Bacon Project. Previous research projects have included the Reading Experience Database, DigCim: a Digital Catalogue of Illuminated Manuscripts (in collaboration with The British Library), "Between Two Worlds": Authors and Publishers 1870-1939 and The Irish Book in the Twentieth Century.
The Institute of English is home to the Yeats Annual, edited by Professor Warwick Gould, and published in association with Palgrave Macmillan.
Staff & Fellows[edit]
The intellectual and scholarly community of the Institute thrives due to the collaboration between IES Staff, Distinguished and Senior Research Fellows, Associate Fellows, Visiting Fellows and Students.
Among the Academic Staff at the Institute are:
- Warwick Gould (Director)
- Simon Eliot (Chair in History of the Book)
- Michelle Brown (Chair in Medieval Manuscripts)
- Wim Van Mierlo (Lecturer in Textual Scholarship and English Literature)
- Marcus Dahl (Lecturer in Authorship Studies)
Senior Research Fellows of the Institute include:
- Sir Brian Vickers
- Jerome McGann
- John Haffenden
- Ronald Schuchard
- Hans Walter Gabler
