The Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies (PCAS)
The Postgraduate Certificate in Antarctic Studies (PCAS) is a fourteen-week in-depth, multi-disciplinary programme that critically examines contemporary scientific, environmental, social and political debates focussed on Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. Antarctic field training and the experience of living and working in a polar environment are integral components of the programme.
PCAS is aimed at
- students who have qualified for an approved degree (or equivalent) and wish to broaden their understanding of Antarctic related matters,
- professionals who are working or plan to work in positions or organisations where their contribution would be enhanced from the programme.
Jointly developed by the University of Canterbury and Antarctica New Zealand, this unique summer programme takes students to experience life in the Antarctic, at Scott Base (NZ's station on Ross Island) and at a field campsite on the McMurdo Ice Shelf.
New Zealand and international experts teach on the programme, through lectures, workshops and student-led mini symposia, complemented by fieldtrips to Antarctic venues in Christchurch. In preparation for the fieldtrip to Antarctica, a first aid course is completed as well as a two day excursion into the Canterbury high country. About ten days are spent in Antarctica, undertaking a mix of analytical and interpretive field projects and environmental monitoring.
Each student undertakes a major research project on an area of interest; topics can range from current issues in the natural sciences to social science topics, historical analyses or an engagement with Antarctic literature or arts.

Hello. We were loving the BBC iPlayer when we were on the ADSL+ 'upto 20 meg' (we got 3.5 Mb downloads on that).
Now that we are on the fibre optic stuff and getting 37-40Mb down and 8 - 10Mb up with the new HH3 we cannot get anything to play on iPlayer.
We can browse the iplayer no problems but when we try to watch the loading animation just whirrs round then we get an error (1510 I think)
Is this a known issue then?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Dear BT Moderator,
I'm having similar problems with the iPlayer - it works (albeit slowly and with some reluctance) on the YouView box, but visiting it from any computer produces no useful result at all. I can select programmes to view, but when I try and actually watch them the screen remains obstinately blank. Other players - 4 oD for example - work slightly better, but even then I get 'buffering' circles, despite more than adequate speeds on my "Infinity" broadband conection (and yes, I tested it!).
It's reassuring to find that Im not alone in this; I was beginnning to suspect malware of some sort and have spent some time using various tools to scan for and eliminate such nasties. Nothing was found.
I tried installing the download manager in the hope that storing content on my hard-drive might prove workable where streaming was not, but Windows 8.1 viewed it as incompatible and wouldn't run it.
Is this a collection of BBC-generated glitches, or is the YouView box keen to establish a monopoly over available bandwidth??
Hope to hear from you - with a workable solution if possible - soon.
Yours sincerely
Rob Milne

Organizers of summer festivals adapting to times
Christine Polaski of Penn Hills captured the sentiment that many people share for local summer festivals.
"We love it. It's a lot of work for one day, but it's worth it," she said.
Polaski is on the organizing committee for Penn Hills Unity in the Community, held every year at Linton Middle School until it fell by the wayside due to fighting and vandalism in 2007.
With encouragement from Penn Hills School District Superintendent Thomas Washington, Unity in Community was restarted in 2011. This year's event is set for 4 to 8 p.m. Aug. 8 at Penn Hills Park.
The Penn Hills event is one of dozens across the region that reinforce town traditions, even as leaders sometimes struggle for volunteer participation and funding. In some communities, elected officials help to host events and provide public money.
A lot of hard work
Leetsdale officials are planning a Fourth of July parade and celebration, while also looking at what they can do to keep the event going strong in the future.
"The mayor is involved, the police and fire departments are involved, and we're looking to broaden things out to include more people," said Leetsdale Council President Joe McGurk, one of the event organizers.
"But we're trying to reach out and get more volunteers, first and foremost. We beat up the same five people, myself included, each year," he said.
McGurk said officials are working with residents who have expertise in specific areas, such as obtaining corporate sponsorships and using social media to help boost interest in the Fourth of July festivities.
In Delmont, Mayor Gill Sanchez wants to bring back the town's Delmont Days after an absence of about four years, but volunteers have been hard to come by.
"To me, it should be something that's organized and done by the community," Sanchez said.
Sanchez said he had no trouble soliciting suggestions for what to include in the festival, "but you have to have the staff to implement it."
Sanchez said he hasn't heard Delmont residents discuss Delmont Days for a couple years, "but we have other things like Apples and Art, and Salem Crossroads, that do seem to bring the community together."
In Dormont, residents will mark the 100th anniversary of Dormont Day on July 4, but organizing committee chairwoman Diane Veri said the eight-member group, too, could use new volunteers.
Some people on the "around-the-kitchen-table type of committee" have been octogenarians, Veri said.
"My mother is on the committee, and she's 83 … we've had a very strong committee, and most of us have been on it for at least 20 years or better … but we're all in our 50s or older."
Towns take charge
Finding volunteers isn't an issue in communities where municipal employees organize summer festivals.
North Huntingdon will host its annual Summer Celebration on Aug. 23 and 24 at Oak Hollow Park, led by the town's parks and recreation department.
"We're very fortunate that we've been able to put this festival on for a number of years," said Dan Miller, parks and recreation director.
Volunteer efforts come from the township's recreation advisory board, and staff from Miller's department are paid for their work at the festival
In Shaler, the annual Community Day on July 4 is hosted by the township, administrative assistant Sherry Martin said. Vendors sell food at the event. The township brings in inflatables for children and tries to find sponsors to pay for them.
Because many celebrations take place around July 4, fireworks are a mainstay.
Leetsdale and North Huntingdon use Zambelli Fireworks Internationale. Other companies also supply pyrotechnics that light up the night.
Murrysville officials save money at their annual Murrysville Community Day by hiring local certified pyrotechnicians to handle their fireworks displays. Still, Recreation Director Rob Hunter Jr. said they were dealing with the same lack of volunteers as many other towns at one time.
"When I first came to Murrysville (in 2008), the numbers were down and things were a little stale," he said.
"We said, 'We'll see if the community wants to have its own community day.' We have zero dollars in our budget for this, and we went around to local businesses and tried to raise between $20,000 and $22,000. Fortunately, we've been able to do that."
The heart of a community
Community festivals are billed as a chance for local residents to celebrate their identity.
But now that cell phones, email and social media have broadened individuals' "communities," do such festivals still hold such a cherished place?
"Everything is much more global now," Veri said. "Kids today have so many more places to be that some of these community events just don't draw as well."
Veri, a lifelong Dormont resident, said many residents opt to stay rather than moving away and this has helped to sustain Dormont Day, along with help from nonprofits and community groups.
In Penn Hills, Unity in the Community organizers plan the event through the school district, which is able to draw from a large pool of potential volunteers.
Still, Polaski acknowledged that recruiting people is a challenge.
"Especially in the summer: students are away, teachers are away and we tend to rely on the fall sports groups, because they're moving all summer long," she said.
The effort, many say, is worth it.
"We're determined to continue, and it will be easier with a good array of volunteers," McGurk said.

Robert K. Bishop-his drawings are in many SM books from various authors.
He is known for his black and white art work, with the use of airbrush to generate
texture and sheento his drawings.
Born in Michigan, he became an illustrator who studied art at Michigan Art School in Detroit.
He started drawing bondage for Centurian Publishing. Then he went to HOM(House of Milan)
for full time work and was there for nearly 20 years. Most of his drawings were done in the
mid 70's and early 80's. He was the main BDSM artist of that time. Some also say Wiley,
Stanton and Ward.
He was certainly a something of a recluse, especially after he left HOM. But he also spent
a lot of time prior to that as a motorcycle enthusiast, an avid moviegoer, a comic book fan,
and fine photographer.
Besides he also was an avid gun enthusiast. He had rifles and hand-guns which he used for
shooting target on the hills. He ended his own life with his gun at the age of 46. For reasons
known but to himself. He died in 1991.
No one can deny that he is the one of the great pioneer in BDSM art.

There are no customer reviews yet. Be the first to write a review!
Following in the footsteps of her freshman release, the critically acclaimed Great God Who Saves, Blessings is a worship project at heart with constant threads of pop energy and singer/songwriter warmth. The album was recorded in Georgia at Chris Tomlin s studio and produced by Nathan Nockels (Passion, Philips, Craig & Dean, Point of Grace). Story penned most of the ten songs herself but also partnered with co-writers including Brenton Brown and Third Day s Mac Powell. Story also recently received her third consecutive GMA nomination for "Female Vocalist of the Year." But amidst all of her success she has her fair share of struggles when a brain tumor hospitalized her husband in 2006 and took her on a ride that no one could have ever prepared her for. In Blessings, Story sings about her faith that was put through the unexpected fires of fear and loneliness; most young newlyweds don t imagine being kept alive at one point by breathing machines or having to find their way through significant post-operative vision and memory loss.

"When I started my acupuncture treatment, I was using pain killers 3 times a day and I never got any better. Now I feel more confident about my physical and mental health. I will recommend Michelle to any body that is having the same condition or worse. Do not hesitate to call Michelle Masangkay to get an appointment and start treatment." - Edmundo
Helps a lot! - Luis
"My right shoulder pain is gone. Michelles treatment of my aches and pains was beyond my expectations. I am now able to lift and almost have full use of my shoulder strength. I would highly recommend her to anyone. Michelle is simply amazing! I am now a true believer of acupuncture. Thanks Michelle!" -Rafael
"I received an injury to my right elbow. I experienced immediate pain that continued for several months. My condition was noted as a likely rupture of the triceps tendon and tendonitis of the extensor and flexor muscles. My desire to avoid medication and surgery as much as possible led me to Michelle for acupuncture. After the first treatment, I was sold on Michelle, and acupuncture and herbal medicine. My symptoms of pain have greatly improved. Thank you Michelle! You are remarkable!" - Bill
"Before I went to Michelle I was so miserable. My sciatic was causing me so much pain. I no longer enjoyed doing anything! When I went to my first appointment, I was doubtful they will be able to help me. But after a couple visits I was starting to feel less pain. Now I am at the point where the pain is almost none existent. My life has gone back to normal and most of all I get to play again with my grandchildren without pain. I want to thank Michelle for giving me my life back. THANK YOU!" - Arnulfo
"Michelle Masangkay has helped improve the quality of my life in just ten sessions! I thoroughly recommend her to anyone who needs any sort of treatment. She is very social, professional, and extremely competent. She has a light hand and I hardly feel a pinch when the needles are inserted. My surgeon could not believe how quickly I recovered from my Achilles surgery. Thanks Michelle for all the help and comfort you have given me." - Reggie
"My husband was seeing a medical doctor for chronic headaches and blurry vision. The doctor kept throwing medications at my husband that did not really help and went so far as to give him depression pills and increasing the dosage of his blood pressure pills. This MD appeared to be at a loss as we showed him over and over that his guesswork was not working. We decided at that point to take more control of his care by requesting for other medical tests as we tried to isolate what may be going on and begin looking at alternative approaches at the same time.
We decided to set an appointment with Michelle and within one day of his first visit, my husbands blurry vision dissipated and his headaches have also abated with a slight pressure that comes and goes. He is now able to go back to his exercise regimen and is able to focus on activities of daily living whereas before, he was almost reduced to staying in bed or on a chair.
Michelle complemented my chiropractic treatment and has helped to relieve the tension that has built up and down my neck, back, legs, and foot. In my last visit, I was in pain and had not had a chance to see the chiropractor yet. Michelle looked at my purple tongue and saw that I needed relief, targeted those points and added moxa therapy that alleviated the pain to enable me a restful sleep and function the following morning.
Along with these conditions, Michelle also started us on some herbal supplements that helped smooth out and relieve our anxiety and stress and the organs that needed help to get healthy again.
We have also started seeing Michelle to implement a maintenance regimen.
We are very impressed and satisfied with the care and support Michelle has provided and the continual progress on the pain management and stress. We intend to continue seeing her." - Edmundo

The hackathon was a super fun, laid-back community building and space improving endeavor. It was nice to have so many people all be there to work on stuff together. Some things that we did that are not mentioned below: eat cookies, plot world domination, and discuss ways to spread NB's institutional knowledge more evenly and widely. Stay tuned.Ā See you next second Saturday!

Accomplishments:
 plastic over skylightsĀ
 Pirate door emergency exit trash breakdown
 Fixed the OG bathroom door
 Slightly more accessible center light switch (still not ada compliant, one step at a time I guess. At least it's visible now, on the yellow pillar in the center of the space)
 unknown extra stuff and possibly extra jof-tastic goodness
 Furniture rearranged (couch pit to church, work tables to center stage. Hoping people give the new arrangement a chance.Ā Anyone with a class in the back classroom might want to arrive early to check out the situation and figure out where to set up.)

future projects:
 dump run
 shop bench stabilization plan and general shop projects
 Locker-ization of existing member shelves. (This project is most excellent, is being led by shannon, and could use some enthusiastic do-ers to help)

This wrap is a favorite, with a great mash-up of strong ingredients; chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, cumin, onions, and lots of garlic.
Makes 4 sandwiches
Prep time: 45 minutes
- Sea salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 carrot, peeled and finely diced
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 1 banana pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne, or more to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, with liquid
- 1 white potato, peeled and finely diced
- 5 whole oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 4 pieces vegan naan bread or tortillas, heated or toasted
1. Place a large sauté pan over medium heat. Sprinkle the bottom with a pinch of salt and heat for 1 minute. Add the oil and heat for 1 minute, being careful not to let it smoke. This will create a nonstick effect.
2. Add the carrot, onion, banana pepper, and garlic to the pan and sauté, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes, until the vegetables are just beginning to soften. Add the cumin, red pepper, cayenne, and black pepper to taste and sauté for 1 minute.
3. Add the chickpeas and their liquid and 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil. Add the potato and sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Serve wrapped in the naan bread or tortillas.

text: Perhaps because their self-contained narratives more closely resemble feature films than traditional TV programs, the anthology series often proves irresistible to filmmakers making the leap from the big screen to the small screen. Their efforts rarely find favor with audiences, however: In 1997, Robert Altman followed in the footsteps of the Hudlins (Cosmic Slop), Steven Spielberg (Amazing Stories), Wes Craven (Nightmare Café), and David Lynch (Hotel Room) by executive-producing a failed attempt to resuscitate the anthology series. Created by TV vet James Steven Sadwith, director of such amusingly titled TV movies as Deadly Intentions... Again?, Gun followed the adventures of its titular inanimate protagonist, a pearl-handled handgun that found its way into the lives of a different group of people every week. Sadwith wrote and directed the first half of Gun's pilot (re-titled Gun: A Fatal Betrayal for video), a drama starring Rosanna Arquette as the bored wife of big-hearted but traditional security guard James Gandolfini. Frustrated by the monotony of her housebound existence, Arquette begins an affair with sleazy writer Peter Horton, a tryst that has unfortunate consequences when Gandolfini ends up unknowingly buying a gun previously owned by a terrorist eager to retrieve it. Sadwith's segment starts out promisingly but grows increasingly manipulative and farfetched as it goes along. Arquette and Gandolfini create sympathetic, fully formed characters out of little, but everything else feels contrived, from Horton's improbably speedy seduction of Arquette to a twist ending that rings hollow. Far more interesting, but still flawed, is the pilot's second vignette, the first pairing of Altman and screenwriter Anne Rapp, who would go on to pen Cookie's Fortune and Dr. T And The Women. Rife with themes that would reach fruition in the pair's later work, the Altman/Rapp segment stars Randy Quaid as the happy-go-lucky, womanizing president-elect of a Texas country club. Quaid's seemingly charmed life gets turned inside out when someone begins sending guns and clips to the many women with whom he's become involved, from his not-so-oblivious wife (Daryl Hannah) to his ditsy lover (Jennifer Tilly), to his lawyer and ex-lover (Sean Young). A light comedy with dark undercurrents, the segment shares with T and Fortune a fascination with the way privileged Southern society unravels, revealing the sublimated anger and discontent just beneath its calm surface. It also shares with those films a knack for broad, farcical supporting characters and situations, but where T and Fortune both skirted sitcom broadness without ever crossing the line, Altman doesn't have as much luck here. Characters like Hannah's presidential-trivia-obsessed housewife and a running gag involving Kinky Friedman both cross the thin line separating the quirky from the cutesy, rendering Gun yet another interesting failure in a career that has seen its share.

Renewal's partner organization, the Creation Care Study Program, has a campus in the beautiful New Zealand coastal town of Kaikoura. Right now, Kaikoura is faced with the impending threat of offshore oil drilling.
For a variety of reasons, the proposed deep sea oil exploration is a very risky endeavor. Aside from those reasons, we must ask, "is nothing sacred?"
We believe it is our responsibility as Christ-followers to speak up.
So please join us in making our voices heard.
Two steps to have your voice heard:
1. Prayer – Join in asking the Creator to intervene on behalf of his creation. We will pray for the decision-makers in New Zealand to hear our voices and reassess the situation.
2. Pressure – Put pressure on the New Zealand Ministry of Economic Development to withdraw
the proposed drilling sites near Kaikoura. Visit Restoring Eden's website for details on how to do that.

Market notches up yet another record
Page Tools
The sharemarket's climb has continued unabated, with the booming resource sector pushing the benchmark index further into record territory.
BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto led the rise after metal prices, including copper, rose overnight.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index closed 9 points higher at 4469.2. The benchmark has climbed 2.1 per cent this week, its biggest gain since the week ended June 17. It has rallied 13 per cent since its low this year on May 4.
BHP Billiton rose 31¢ to $21.05 the first time it has been above $21 and Rio Tinto put on 71¢ to a record $53.01. BHP has surged 7.4 per cent this week while Rio has climbed 5.2 per cent.
Copper rose for the second straight day in New York as US inventories of the metal used in appliances, cars and homes fell to their lowest in nine years.
But a fall of more than 2 per cent in Telstra's share price weighed on the market as several analysts downgraded their forecasts following the cautious earnings predictions that accompanied Thursday's result.
Telstra gave up 11¢ to $4.74, topping turnover on the market, with 124 million shares worth $590 million changing hands.
"I'm not surprised by what's happening to Telstra," said ABN Amro Morgans private client adviser Bill Bishop. "The market is operating properly: it's digesting the information and doesn't know what to do with it yet."
Gold stocks gained ground after an overnight jump in the bullion price. Newcrest rose 21¢ to $17.83 and Newmont found 16¢ to $5.36. Oxiana jumped 11¢ to $1.245 on continued speculation about a takeover bid by Swiss-based miner Xstrata.
Spot gold closed $US10.13 higher at $US448.525 an ounce in Sydney trade. The rise in energy prices to record levels has increased the metal's appeal as a hedge against inflation.

Adding a 3-Way Switch to an Existing Lighting Circuit
February 2, 2007
Q: Can I add a swich to an existing light circuit so the light can be controlled from two switches? I have a light controlled by a single switch, can I add a second switch?
A: Yes you can. Most home owners call this 2-way switching, but in fact, it is called 3-way switching.
To get started you need a materials list. You will find all of these items at your local home improvement center, hardware store or electrical supply house. For this installation your will need:
- Either 12/3 or 14/3 NM cable (match existing size)(length to be determined by distance from existing switch to new switch – i.e. 5′ down from existing switch + 25′ across floor joists + 5′ up to new switch = 35′)
- 1 – 1-gang old work (remodel) box
- 2 – 3-way switches
- 1 – 1-gang switch cover plate
Now that you have your materials, let's get started. Go to your breaker box and turn off the breaker that protects this circuit. If it is not labeled, turn on the light and have someone stand near the light and you flip breakers until you find the correct one. Once you have found the correct breaker, label it so you will not have this problem again. Now go to your switch, remove the cover and verify that the power is off with a volt-meter.
Next you need to remove the switch and install a 3 conductor, with ground cable between your existing switch and the new switch location. You need to match the existing wire size that is already in place for your lighting circuit. This is either going to be 14/3 or 12/3.
Installing the cable from your existing switch to the new location is difficult for me to explain without more information. You will either need to fish down to the basement or crawl space, or fish up to the attic and over the the new location.
Now "cut-in" your new switch box matching the height of the existing light switches in the house. To do this place the box's front side against the wall, level it and trace around the outside edges. Now use a drywall saw and cut along the line to remove the drywall.
Fish your new 3 conductor cable into this location and push it into the electrical box. Insert your electrical box and fasten it to the wall. Next strip the outer sheath off of the cable. Strip each wire to remove approximately 3/4″ of insulation. Curl a loop in the black, red and white wire. When wrapping the wire around the screw, you want the loop to close on the final turn of the screw.
The bare copper wire terminates to the green ground screw on the 3-way switch. Now terminate the black wire to one brass colored screw and the red wire to the other brass colored screw. The white wire is a hot wire and not a neutral so, you need to mark this wire black. This is easiest done by wrapping electrical tape around the wire or using a permanent marker. After the wire is marked, terminate it to the black screw. Install the switch and cover it.
Now go to your existing switch. Strip off the outer sheathing of the 3 conductor cable and terminate the bare copper wire with the rest of the grounds and leave a "pig-tail" to connect to the ground screw on your new 3-way switch. Connect the black wire to one brass colored screw and the red wire to the other brass colored screw.
There were 2 wires that were connected to your old light switch. You need to determine which is the power supply and which one goes to the light. The one that goes to the light, terminates to the black colored screw on the 3-way switch. The power supply connects to the white wire (marked black) with a wire nut and tucked back into the box. Install your switch and cover.
Go to your breaker box and turn on the circuit breaker and go test the new 3-way switching. The light should turn on or off from either switch in any position.

A man accused of murdering his father-in-law left bloody shoe prints on the victim's back and nearly tore his ear off, a Sydney court heard today.
Carmelo Disano, 53, is charged with the murder of Antonino Basile, whose body was found in Werrell Reserve at Abbotsford in Sydney's inner-west on January 2.
According to police documents tendered to Burwood Local Court, Disano said the death was an accident and he did not mean to kill Mr Basile.
But the documents also said Disano punched Mr Basile 30 times in the face and held him down while he repeatedly kicked him.
After Disano and his wife separated 18 months ago, she and the couple's two children moved in with her parents.
Disano blamed Mr Basile for the marriage break-up, the documents said.
With a stitched cut healing near his right eye, Disano today applied for bail.
Public prosecutor Kate Nightingale opposed bail and said Disano's "soon-to-be ex-wife has fears and concerns for her safety and that of her family".
Disano had launched "an extremely serious and protracted assault" on his father-in-law, she said.
"The assault was witnessed by members of the public and they saw him repeatedly kicking with strength the deceased."
Ms Nightingale said there was no doubt about the cause of the attack and the offender's identity, only his intent.
The court heard that Disano gave himself up to Five Dock police several hours after the alleged murder, having washed the blood from his clothes and shoes.
According to the documents, Mr Basile had approached Disano while he was fishing at Abbotsford and an argument began, with Mr Basile punching Disano in the face.
Disano retaliated and punched Mr Basile in the face around 30 times and bit the victim's left ear tearing it loose, the documents said.
He also held Mr Basile down and kicked him, leaving bloody shoe prints on the victim's back.
The documents said Disano left Mr Basile unconscious in the reserve and told a passerby to call an ambulance, before washing and changing his clothes at his brother-in-law's Haberfield home.
A post-mortem examination revealed Mr Basile's injuries included bruising to the face and head, a mutilated left ear and 12 rib fractures.
Defence lawyer Archie Hallas argued that his client should be granted bail.
He said the fact that his client turned himself in to police spoke volumes.
"The defendant has given [to police] a full account of what took place," Mr Hallas said.
"What happened on that day has to be seen in the context of [the defendant] minding his own business when fishing.
"The deceased tracked him down, the deceased instigated the fight."
But Magistrate Paul Cloran refused Disano bail and adjourned the case to Burwood Local Court on March 13.

Tales of a Wildlife Photographer Dennis Widman, Exclusively Wildlife Photography
by Dennis Widman
About the Book
Over the past 20 years I have spent a lot of time photographing wildlife in wilderness areas in the Western United States and Canada. Up until now, my books have been simply photos of those journeys.
However, with every photo comes a story. I have told some of those stories many times in conversations. I have been asked many times, "Why not share your stories in a book?" So, here it is. This is a collection of some of my favorite stories and the photos which were the result of those stories.
All photos are from the wild – no zoos, no wildlife "farms" or ranches – no remote motion-sensor cameras, no tracking dogs, no electronic tracking devices, no "traps." All wildlife photos are simply photographed as predator and/or prey as found naturally in the wild. Photos are untouched and appear as seen through the lens.

About the Creator
After 15 years of being an avid flyfisherman, I found myself spending more time photographing bears, moose, elk, and wolves that I came across while I was fishing. After a week long fishing trip to Canada I realized that I had not put my fly rod in the water once. I knew then that Wildlife Photography was more than incidental.

I am often described by my friends as a fine mix between level and rational but wild and fun...I like to keep it classy, too. My humor is super sarcastic..I struggle with those who don't get it...I love to smile and laugh and throw in a little intelligent conversation and I'm all about it. I use the words super and awesome too much.
I've been on some terrible, traumatic first dates, so I think I can handle anything.
I love the outdoors and riding my bike. I am very active, I like extreme sporting events like the Tough Mudder. When I can, I try to travel. I'm all about self-improvement, I enjoy putting myself in new situations which force me to grow, like trying things I've never tried, listening to NPR, listening to Fox even if i disagree, both sides of a good argument.
That's not all, but I can't stand "About Me" sections, so you'll have to ask me if you're really curious.
I don't really watch TV, although I went through some compulsive netflixing and megavideo days of Madmen, Dexter, True Blood, Damages, 24 and Prison Break...theyre not so bad.
And I absolutely, positively cannot tolerate reality-television. I think it is a perversion of entertainment and a ridiculous waste of time.
I love electronic music, dubstep, Latin music, reggae and rock favorites. I am critical of new music, like rap, because it just comes and goes.
I love exotic food, like sashimi, Korean food, Thai curry, Indian curry, Mumbai sweets, Venezuelan and Cuban food, moonshines from around the world, king crab, paella, and the list literally goes on and on.
Ocean and mountains (I realize that makes 7)
B) you have a passport or are willing to get one and
C) you are not going to cry on our first meet (yes, it has happened)

A Grovetown-area construction project that has been several years in the making will have to wait a few more months.
Terry Elam, Augusta Technical College's president, said the school is waiting for the state to open bidding for the construction of Columbia County Center, the school's newest branch. He said officials should start accepting bids no later than June, and construction of the $6.3 million facility on Horizon West Parkway could begin a month or two later.
A groundbreaking ceremony took place in September, and at that time officials hoped construction would start in the spring.
The project, however, was delayed until the county finalized details on a road to provide access to the facility. Mr. Elam said those issues have been resolved.
"It was just a matter of getting the (U.S. Army) Corps of Engineers' approval because it was a wetland," he said.
He said the county and the school swapped property to enable the road to be built toward Grovetown.
"The original road was between the industrial park and the campus. The road now is going to go on the other side of the campus," Mr. Elam said.
The 22,000-square-foot campus is designed to accommodate 450 students with five general-purpose classrooms, two 30-station computer labs, two multipurpose industrial labs and a meeting room.
Mr. Elam said the new campus should give the school an enrollment boost of at least 10 percent. He said construction should take about 18 months.
Augusta Technical College also has campuses in Thomson and Waynesboro.
Reach Betsy Gilliland at (706) 868-1222, ext. 113, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Columbia County Center will have business classes such as accounting and business office technology; general core classes including English, math, psychology and humanities courses; industrial maintenance; welding; and an adult education center.

About Me
Hi all!
I'm a 26yr old Aussie currently living in Bristol (Bedminster) with my Girlfriend.
Really love this city; it has so much to give and is a fantastic base from which to visit Europe.
I wish everybody could just be happy all the time!
I love nice people. Anyone who is nice to me will more than receive that kindness in return.
Appreciate the small things, take pleasure in a sunset, enjoy the taste of a glass of water, laugh at nothing, stop and listen to the things around you, smell a home-made meal, love a little! Whatever it is, enjoy it.
I believe that life goes past way too fast for anyone to worry about what their future holds. Live in the present you mad people! What does it matter if you finish university a year or five years late, or if you don't find someone to love 'til you're 40? The present is ALWAYS awesome. It just needs your effort to make it great.
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I don't like the idea of just staying at someone's place for the free couch, so I try to involve myself as much with them emotionally in what little time we have together. I love being able to Host people and always have a great time showing them around the beautiful city of Canberra!
I've met so many amazing people through CS. In my opinion, 99% of people who use CS are just simply awesome and pretty much always a pleasure to talk to and have drinks with. I've felt very privileged to have travelled and shared part of my life with these amazing people.
CS meet-ups rock! :)
I LOVE Reading, my resting state is curled up on a sofa with a book in my hand and a content expression on my face.
Music, as far as I'm concerned, is something that I can go without, but it somehow makes everything sweeter when it's around.
Photography, Taking that perfect photo is such a thrill, I rarely go anywhere without Kurt Raul, my camera.
I love writing. Whether it's my daily journal, or jotting down ideas for a short story, there's just something fundamentally satisfying for me to see my ideas transformed on paper into 'acts'.
Languages! I'm well along into learning Spanish and loving it! Next German, and then, who knows, but there'll definitely be more to come :)
Sports! Sports have got to be at least my second favourite thing! I do anything from bike rides and jogging in the afternoon, to playing competitive Rugby and Touch football, to playing tennis and soccer with my mates. I live for skiing and snowboarding during the winter.(YES IT DOES SNOW IN AUSTRALIA!)
Last, but DEFINITELY not least are my Friends. I just think that anything anyone does is best shared. Whether it's with my best friend, someone i've known since primary school, or with someone I met last night at a CS meeting, the best times of my life only ever happen with other people.
Things are only truly fun and worthwhile if you're sharing the experience with someone.
Music, Movies, and Books
Books: I LOVE reading, but in particular I'll read any half decent sci-fi/fantasy. These are my favourite authors:
Isaac Asimov, Kevin J. Anderson, Simon R. Green, Robin Hobb, Matthew Reilly, Charlie Higson, Joe Haldeman, Phillip Reeve, Peter F. Hamilton, George Martin.
Music: I love music with a good melody and a solid chorus. But I'll enjoy any genre if it resonates with me.
TV: I enjoy comedies mainly:
Doctor Who, CNNNN, Family Guy, The Bill, Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Chaser's War on Everything,
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The single-most incredible thing that has happened to me was when i was at Ayers rock in Australia. I was sitting in the car with the window open for the heat, reading a book. Out of nowhere a peregegrine falcon flew in the window and sat on my leg.
It probably only lasted a second, but it felt like a lifetime as we stared at each other without moving. That was the most in touch i think i've ever felt with an animal and I'll always keep that memory close to my heart. I know it sounds extremely lame but it's true!
I've done so many amazing things over the last several months that they're too numerous to put down, but just ask and I shall divulge!

And My God Said (Part 1) - Poem by Glen Martin Fitch
"I am.
And I am love.
And I am near.
You have a mission to fulfill,
or fight.
The 'What? ' or 'When? ' or 'Why? '
you needn't hear.
When stymied, stop, and pray.
You'll know what's right.
I also promise you:
You will not face more grief
than you can stand.
Yes, pain's your lot.
Mistakes are how you learn
You can embrace your tasks
You are that strong,
though fear you're not.
You doubt me
Every hurt seems my betrayal.
You think me angry.
Dread I wish you ill.
Before you were,
I loved you,
And I will forgive you, too,
before you fail.
As I forgive,
forgive- yourself.
Be true to Love
and love yourself,
as I love you."

You won't get your picture taken at this arch. It looks like a hole in the opposing rock face as you view it from a canyon overlook. But the loop hike is easy and offers a scenic view of the canyon. From the trail head going clockwise, follow the Jeep trail. At .19 miles, you will see a cairn on your right. The stacks of rocks will guide you most of the rest of the way. Pay attention so you don't walk past the cairns. At .84 miles you will arrive at the canyon rim. Continue following the cairns. At the 1-mile mark, you will see a sign directing to the arch overlook. To finish the loop, return to the sign and walk past it then follow the cairns back through the dirt and brush until you return to the Jeep trail. Jewel Tibbetts Arch overlook

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 25.202 Tuesday, 22 April 2014

Subject: The Sonnets
My dialogue with John Drakakis started with his opinion that the Sonnets present "a collection that is, in terms of a story, incoherent". In response, I outlined a story which emerges both naturally and coherently (from the platform of some objective, external evidence).
John chose neither to accept, nor to test this development—thereby establishing an approach to our debate which he has maintained steadfastly.
Now he says I am confusing 'probability' and 'possibility'—though he has ignored the evidence on which I base my assessments. He is concerned that I (or others) may "see some of the later sonnets in the sequence as evidence that Shakespeare had contracted a sexually transmitted disease".
Well, I have never presented the Sonnets as evidence that Shakespeare had an STD—nor have I relied on speculations on "life in Elizabethan and Jacobean England". I prefer interpretations which are in line with objective, external evidence.
John, I have two challenges for you. I am afraid they are repetitious, because you have ignored earlier invitations to comment thereon.
First, (so that we may assess your personal settings for assessment of 'probability' and 'possibility') do you consider it "probable" or merely "possible" that young William attended the grammar school in Stratford?
Second, I have summarized my argument (for the high probability that the Sonnets represent private correspondence from Shakespeare to Wriothesley, subsequently published without their consent). It is divided into seven, easily understood steps (as re-presented in my last post, responding to Julia Crockett). Will you now assess each step, so that we may understand precisely where, and why, you disagree with the elements of the argument?

Did not intend to be offensive to Ian. I read this from Barbara Everett years ago and it always (largely) struck me as a great piece. I do not know if you have access to it. London Review of Books, Vol.30 No.9*8 May 2008 'Shakespeare and the Elizabethan Sonnet.' Where she is so clever is that she trashes the autobiographical. At the same time in attempting to clarify the ex tempore exploration of the passions (to her beyond the arid Sidney) she leaves the personal speculative.

Tomy Gutierrez is cool and composed.
The senior from East leads his team of 120 in stretches in preparation for the day's workout. He and his co-captains lead the count to 20 as the team loosens muscles and gets the blood moving. It's the calm before the storm, and Gutierrez loves it.
Gutierrez, a distance specialist, is looking to leave his mark in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters. He placed 10th in state in cross country while capturing the Region 6 championship. He has set goals to finish in the top five in the 2 mile and has been working all winter to get there.
"Once you get competitive and start to push races and see how far you can go, it is really rewarding," Gutierrez said. "Track is a building process the more you work, the better you get."
East is not a powerhouse in track, but the Leopards' numbers tell a different story. With almost 80 more students joining the team, and about 70 percent of them either freshmen or sophomores, Coach Bill Cobler expects big things from East in the near future. He thinks East's diverse student population provides a great mix of athletes for every event.
"We've made a big push to get more students involved," he said. "If we focus on getting everyone ready to compete, we should have a lot of success."
Gutierrez credits his coaches for pushing him to be ready for his races and thinks his team has been successful in preparing students for the meets.
"In track, you never know how good you can be unless you compete," Gutierrez said. "The benefits of the physical fitness means you can improve both on the track and in one's life."
Distance specialist
Tomy Gutierrez already has been accepted to the University of Utah and Westminster College and is awaiting notice from Harvard, where he would study engineering.
East's roster has jumped from 40 to 120 students in all events.
Gutierrez is focused on excelling at the 3,200 meters and has set a personal goal to be in the top five in the state.

When Jeanne Parr ran for county treasurer in 2002, she told voters all about her experience as a lay minister and Sunday school teacher, her work with 4-H Club kids and the time she was named Outstanding Leader of Fort Bend County. What she didn't mention was her gambling problem. It turns out Parr had quite the jones, taking weekly trips to Louisiana and eventually dropping at least $46,000. What's a county treasurer to do? If you're Jeanne Parr, you start stealing from a 4-H Club bank account. Parr pleaded guilty to writing checks to herself to cover her losses and got five years' deferred adjudication and a 14-day jail sentence. "I never did ever plan to harm anyone or a child," she told the court, which kind of left the impression things just happened on their own. She also resigned her office, of course, thus ending a brief but exciting political career.

Forget the unwieldy handle, and remember this about the UTMB-TAMUG 2005-2006 Classical Concerts series: It's absolutely free. You can spend an evening at fine arts venues in Houston and fork over a pile of Benjamins for some of the same concerts that book dates for free in Galveston. Sure, the scheduling is a bit haphazard, and some concerts are announced only a week or so in advance, but the price is right. This year's series opened with an evening of flamenco music and dancing by touring Houston ensemble Lucia & Valdemar with Gitanerias Flamenco. Check the Web site for upcoming shows. And when we say leave the wallet and plastic at home, we mean it: There's plenty of street parking around the UTMB campus, and -- we're not making this up -- free punch and cookies are typically served at intermission.
In a city where not having a car is a death sentence for your social life, we'll give the Bissonnet Village Apartments a nod for being strategically close to one of the hottest singles scenes in the city: Rice Village. Auto-challenged residents of "The BV" can stroll -- if need be -- to the nearby Village restaurants and bars, or just hang at the neighboring Goode Co. Taqueria. The complex is a haven for young Med Center professionals and college kids who cash in on the generous student discounts. And we love that the Marquis II bar -- a favorite of the frat/sorority set and one of the best joints in town to pick up drunken coeds -- is just a brief jaunt away, should you find yourself bleary-eyed and staggering on a Tuesday night (not that we would know anything about that...).
If you want to get a real look at the people populating our hippest little multicultural area, just mosey on over to the Taco Cabana at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer, order a plate of nachos and a margarita, and pull up a chair. You'll see transvestites hailing down cars for dates, homeless youths who look like Blink-182 gone wild hawking everything from stolen CDs to crystal meth, tow truck drivers hell-bent on knocking somebody out, street hustlers with pit bulls, and ordinary prostitutes who are holding on to that slice of land as if it were decreed to them in the Declaration of Independence. And we won't even talk about the folly you'll witness coming out of the condom shop next door. There's a million and one stories written every day at that highly trafficked intersection. You're guaranteed to witness about 20 in ten minutes.

Many a balmy Houston night has been made cooler and more comfortable thanks to the efforts of the Houston Symphony. Beginning in June, when it first presented Summer Symphony Nights at Miller Outdoor Theatre, our skies have been filled with sweet sounds designed to make us forget that we've still got sweat dripping off our brows. The symphony's Lord of the Rings Symphony brought us into the air-conditioning of Jones Hall on a couple of hot July nights to witness its haunting musical retelling of the classic trilogy, and we returned for its excruciatingly fun take on Bugs Bunny on Broadway. But after that, it was back outside for more music, including a night at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, where the symphony backed disco diva Donna Summer.

Picking the best charity is harder than it sounds. What are the criteria: the condition of the recipients? The overall effectiveness? How the money is spent? Well, if you consider all of those, then Houston's Shriners Hospital just might be the best charity to donate to this year. The hospital provides free -- yes, free -- medical care to children suffering from major bone, joint and muscle problems. These include scoliosis, brittle bone disease, limb deficiencies and spina bifida, among many others. The staff includes orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic subspecialists and pediatricians, according to spokesperson Raquel Espinoza-Williams. Many of the city's finest private practitioners also volunteer their services to the 40-bed facility. Why? Because offering excellent medical care for free isn't cheap: Last year's tab was $18 million. Why not pony up your share?

Wednesday, March 25 2009 - Legal Response to 9/11
9/11 victims' kin seek release of secret documents
By Joe Dwinell
Wednesday, March 25, 2009
Three families who lost loved ones in the 9/11 terrorist attacks head to court today to plead with a federal judge to release a million pages of documents detailing the mass murder of nearly 3,000 Americans.
Those secret papers, one Bay State family member told the Herald, are "so bad you won't believe it."
"It was out control," Paul Keating, 45, said of security on Sept. 11, 2001, including at Logan International Airport in Boston where two ill-fated jets left on a collision course with infamy.
"My mother went through the most public murder you could imagine . . . and I've been putting up with this crap for seven years," Keating said of his refusal to settle his case out of court.
Keating's 72-year-old mother, Barbara, a Framingham native, died aboard American Airlines [AMR] Flight 11.
Keating is making legal history today, along with the families of Mark Bavis, 31, and Sara Low, 28, by asking Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein in Federal District Court in Manhattan to lift the order keeping all the evidence hidden.
Low was a Boston-based flight attendant on Flight 11; Bavis of West Newton, a passenger on United Airlines Flight 175. Both jets left Logan with hijackers on board and were slammed into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers.
"Sept. 11 should not have happened," said attorney Donald A. Migliori, whose firm represents all three families.
He said the secret papers include depositions of former Massport Executive Director Virginia Buckingham and former Logan security chief Joe Lawless.
If the documents are released, plans are in the works to make a public archive.
As for the three families, they vow to hold out for public trials next year
- refusing any share of $7 billion in secret settlements to expose how 19 terrorists
brought a nation to its knees.

Who had the best freshman season?
Carmelo Anthony
Toby Bailey
Mike Bibby
Pervis Ellison
Grant Hill
Michael Jordan
Williams to meet with ex-boss Dean Smith
brings more breathtaking memories
Flanked by a crowd of 25,114 that transformed the Carrier Dome into a sea of orange, Boeheim and the Orangemen made a curtain call Thursday night to express their appreciation to the community for its yearlong support.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," said Boeheim, who entered the building holding the national championship trophy aloft. "It's been a tremendous experience, but tonight really is the topper. This kind of turnout is just an unbelievable thing. I don't think you can beat it any place in the country, really.
"And as far as being the coach here and being in Syracuse since 1962, I want to tell you it's been the luckiest thing to ever happen to Jim Boeheim."
The crowd repeatedly shook the teflon top with deafening roars as the players, coaches, and staff came out one-by-one, emerging from one end through a cloud of steam as a highlight video of the season and NCAA tournament played on a giant screen.
The Orangemen completed their scintillating six-game run through the tournament with a heart-stopping 81-78 victory Monday night over Big 12 power Kansas to give Boeheim, head coach for 27 years, his first championship on his third try.
Freshmen Gerry McNamara and Carmelo Anthony, who combined for 38 points in the title game, and sophomore Hakim Warrick, who made a game-saving block in the final three seconds, received the loudest ovations.
When Anthony, named Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four, walked to the microphone to speak, he had to wait a minute or two for the cheering to die down as the crowd implored him to come back for his sophomore season and not enter the NBA draft.
"You all keep saying one more year, aren't you supposed to stay in school for four years?" said Anthony, a piece of the championship net still hanging from his neck.
Boeheim also was given the NABC Trophy for finishing ranked No. 1 in the ESPN/USA Today coaches poll, then watched as a massive banner commemorating the championship was raised.
"The excitement this team has brought, the attitude of never giving up and to continue to play is a life lesson for every kid that lives in this area and for adults," Boeheim said of his Orangemen, who were unranked until January and rallied from behind 15 times to win. "This team showed that you can be behind, you can be struggling, you can do some silly things sometimes. But you can still overcome all that. If you keep playing and keep working together all the time, anything's possible."
Several stars from past teams, including Roosevelt Bouie and Pearl Washington, were among the special guests. And Boeheim said he had received calls from several players on the 1987 Syracuse team that lost 74-73 to Indiana in the championship game when Keith Smart hit the game-winning shot for the Hoosiers with four seconds left.
"Every one of those guys said the same thing to me, 'We can let that go now. It's over.'" Boeheim said.
Only one current player missed the celebration. Kueth Duany, the lone senior, was at an NBA tryout camp in New Hampshire. Just as he did every game during the season, though, Boeheim made sure Duany was singled out.
"For all the times that I've yelled at him and screamed at him on the court, I want to take time out to thank him because he had a lot to do with this," Boeheim said.
The season officially will close with a parade on Saturday, and Mayor Matt Driscoll couldn't wait.
"This team has elevated the spirit of this community and made us proud," Driscoll said. "They captivated the hearts of all of us and won the hearts of the entire nation. We have this whole year to brag to anyone who will listen — we have the No. 1 team in the nation."

Janice Reals Ellig, the co-chief executive of Chadick Ellig, the New York City-based executive search firm, has made it her life's work to get more women on corporate boards.
As a headhunter, she focuses her practice on the recruitment of diverse senior-level executives. She is also the president of the Women's Forum in New York, an invitation-only group of high-ranking professional women that aims to advance female leadership.
"This is really part of my DNA," she told me recently. "If I've accomplished anything in my life, it will have been to change the landscape of corporate boards."
We spoke only days after the publication of a report, The State of Women Business Leaders in New York State, which showed a slight upward trajectory in the inclusion of women in key executive position at top New York companies. (True, New York is but one state, but in terms of US corporate boards, it is an important one.)
According to the report, which was published by the Women's Executive Circle of New York in partnership with the Columbia Business School, women hold 15.9 per cent of all board director and executive officer positions in the state's 100 biggest public companies. This is an increase from 15.5 per cent in 2008 and from 14.7 per cent in 2006. The study showed that 32 of the 100 companies have boards and executive suites in which at least 20 per cent of positions are held by women. Meanwhile, 15 of the 100 companies have no women serving on the board of directors or as executive officers.
According to the numbers, much more work needs to be done. First, says Ellig, nominating committees and board chairman need to work harder at projecting an air of inclusiveness towards women. "The tone has to be set at the top," she says.
Second, boards must broaden their pool of possible candidates. "We have to get away from the notion that only someone with a CEO title is a viable candidate for [board membership]," she says. "We can still look in the C-suite, and we don't need to compromise on quality. We should look at entrepreneurs, or someone who has great international experience. Evaluate the needs of the company and then figure out the best possible nominees. The pipeline is there; it's bulging and it just needs to be tapped."
Third, Ellig says that external parties need to press the issue. She points out that some institutional investors, including PAX World Funds, have said they will not invest in companies with all-male boards.
Regulators ought to play a bigger role too. She notes that the SEC has now requires listed companies to disclose their policy, if one exists, regarding diversity in the selection of board members. Ellig says the SEC ought to go a step further by issuing a formal requirement for firms to create a board diversity policy. She says the SEC should also require that firms provide regular updates about steps being taken towards achieving diversity goals.
Lastly, Ellig says that women who are on boards need to become proponents of other highly qualified women. "I am cautiously optimistic. But we need to put the pedal to the metal."

The 23-year-old was stopped in the ninth round by Jason Booth, the former IBO and British flyweight champion, who claimed the vacant belt.
It was Edmonds sixth professional bout but he pushed Booth hard until he ran out of steam in the ninth, having never fought more than six-rounders before.
Victor Booth's record is now 28-5, with Edmonds dropping to 5-2.
Former Commonwealth Games competitor Edmonds had taken the fight on 72 hours notice although he had been in training for a British title eliminator.
But the heart he showed at the Robin Park Centre, Wigan, against Nottingham-based Booth, 30, bodes well for the rest of Edmonds' career.
Edmonds, a four-time Welsh ABA champion, turned professional in July 2006 and had a perfect 5-0 record until last October, when he lost a six-round decision to Scotland's Kris Hughes.
A product of St Joseph's ABC, Newport, Edmonds is promoted out of Chris Sanigar's Bristol Boxing stable.
What are these?
