Born in Shanghai in 1961, Ying Chen of Lions Bay, B.C. has written fiction and young adult fiction about her Chinese homeland. Having studied French literature at the University of Shanghai, she came to Canada in 1989 to further her studies at McGill University. While Chen was living in Quebec, she began writing in French. Her novel Ingratitude received the Prix Québec-Paris in 1996 and was shortlisted for the Prix Femina and a Governor General's Award.

Press Release (2009)
March 19, 2009
By Diane Luckow / SFU Publicity
Novelist Ying Chen is just finishing up a semester as the Shadbolt Fellow in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. Chen, a graduate in French language and literature from Fudan University in Shanghai, came to Canada 20 years ago to pursue a master's degree in creative writing at McGill University in Montreal.
She has since published seven novels and one collection of essays, all in French. One of them, L'Ingratitude/Ingratitude, which depicts women's condition, won the Prix Quebec-Paris and Elle Quebec magazine's reader's prize (1996) as well as the Prix des Libraires du Quebec (Association of Quebec Booksellers).
A new novel, Un Enfant a ma Porte (A Child at my Door) will be published this spring in Paris. "The book is about a woman who is incapable of handling motherhood and questions the mystification, the unspoken around this subject," says Chen, who has two young children of her own. "All of my works are tragedies. I like tragedy—not in life, but in books."
Chen says her books, though written using simple words and grammar, are not easy to write or read. Her more recent books, for example, have no geographic setting and their characters have no names and are merely represented by letters.
During Chen's time on campus, she has met with students in the French department to discuss the importance of reading and literature. She has also invited guest authors from Quebec, Paris and China to campus to give presentations to students.
The fellowship is funded by the Jack and Doris Shadbolt Endowment in the Humanities.

BTW, my inspiration for this last chapter started when I started listening to Chris Young's "Aw Naw" starting at the line, "So, he was going to do what someone in his position was supposed to do…" Trust me, it makes a difference. ;)
A little bit later, a man a bit older than Harry looked over at him and gave him a friendly wave and Bob half-heartedly returned it, thinking that the man was just being nice, but then the man waved him closer.
He was only a few seats away, and Harry would be a while, if the mass of people heading in the same direction Harry had gone was any indication, so he made his way over.
He might as well learn to meet new people.
"Hi, my name's Paul, pleased to meet you…?"
"Bob," he supplied.
Paul then smiled and said, "Good to hear someone else from the mother country is here. Thought I was the only Brit in the crowd."
Bob then realized that, yes, the man had a distinctive British accent. He had brown eyes, though they were slightly darker than Harry's, and though he had brown hair a touch of gray lingered at his temples, giving the man a distinguished older look that suited him.
Not realizing that Paul was giving him a once over with his eyes, Bob shook the man's hand and gave him a wide smile.
"No, you're not alone. Though, I didn't come here of my own volition. My, uh, friend got us tickets. This is the first time I've ever even heard the man sing, I'm afraid."
Paul simply shrugged.
"No crime in that. So…who'd you come with?"
"My friend, Harry. He thought that I would enjoy it."
"So, are you? Enjoying it, I mean?"
Bob shrugged, unsure of how to respond. He wasn't hating the experience, but he knew that the main reason that he wasn't hating it was because of the fact that Harry was here with him. Had he come alone, he wouldn't have had nearly as much fun…of course, he knew that he would have never come alone.
Paul simply let out a chuckle, and then continued their conversation, most of it one-sided, and then, just as before, Harry saw them.
At seeing Bob talking to the guy he felt another stab of jealousy.
What was it with Bob and meeting new people who felt as though they had to flirt with him? Even though it was a guy, it was obvious to Harry that he was flirting with Bob, and he didn't like it…not one little bit. So, he was going to do what someone in his position was supposed to do…
…Stake his claim.
Feeling bold, with his hackles risen, he strode over to Bob and pressed firm fingers against Bob's lower back as he gave the ex-ghost his second beer, his fingers deliberately lingering over Bob's, and Harry locked eyes with him and smiled…and then, and only then, did he acknowledge the presence of the other man.
"Hi," Harry said, trying to be as genuine as possible. "I'm Harry."
The man nodded and shook Harry's proffered hand.
"Pleased to meet you. My name's Paul."
Harry squeezed slightly harder than he normally did and was inwardly proud of himself when he saw the man wince just slightly before pulling back from the handshake.
So, maybe he was coming off a little strong. It was still better than not being noticed at all. He was going to let Paul know that Bob was his, and no one else's…and then he saw Paul give him a slight nod and a faint smile.
Yeah, he got the message.
Harry and Bob said a quick goodbye and walked back over to their seats, beers in hand.
This time, Bob did notice Harry's actions and he felt himself flush. Not with embarrassment, but with the fact that he was slightly turned on by how territorial he had become. Was Harry, possibly, just as interested in Bob as Bob was in Harry?
Deciding to be daring, he tested his theory by leaning in slightly and pressing his left hand against Harry's side and saying into his ear, "Don't worry, Harry…I'm not going anywhere."
Harry turned his head to give him a look and suddenly found his lips only centimeters from Bob's.
He didn't know what to do, but was beyond pleased when Bob closed the inches between them and leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips. It was probably only meant to be a brief kiss, but at the touch of the other man's lips on his own, he gave into his urge and pressed the kiss even further, barely aware of the roaring of the crowd around them as Johnny Steele started back up again.
God…he tasted good.
It was better than Harry had ever imagined, and he had a pretty vivid imagination, mind you.
Their tongues tangled, each of them trying to take in as much of the other as possible. Bob let out a low groan as he tasted the inside of his wizard's mouth. Harry was spices, candles, and woodsmoke, with the faintest hint of electricity that played on his nerves, shutting down all logical parts of his brain.
Harry, too, was just as enraptured, his left hand sliding around Bob's waist and tucking his lower body against the older wizard's.
Bob was mountain stone, rain, and…something else that he couldn't identify, but it left a faintly warm, settled feeling in his senses, something like…ozone. That's what it was. The scent and taste of an oncoming storm.
Bob reciprocated Harry's action, and slid his own left hand around the younger man's waist, enjoying the sensations as he tilted his head slightly and delved just slightly deeper between his wizard's lips. Good lord, kissing Harry was delightfully sinful, and he suddenly wanted nothing more than to drag him back to the car and force him to drive the two of them back to their place as soon as possible. Thoughts of having Harry strewn out on a bed beneath him were filling his head with heady images, and he decided to act on his instinct.
Bob pulled back from the kiss and took a moment to look at Harry and was enraptured.
Face flushed, lips slightly bruised, eyes dazed, practically black as they were fully dilated...lord, what a picture.
All it did was harden his resolve, and he grabbed Harry's wrist and dragged him through the crowd, Harry not protesting in the least, the same exact thoughts in his mind, eager to get home and get the older wizard completely at his mercy.
Screw Johnny Steele.
As Harry drove the two of them home, Bob's hand reached over and was firmly kneading along Harry's thigh.
He drew in a sharp breath at the sensation and then looked over at him.
Bob's usually perfect hair was slightly mussed, his lips looked well kissed, and the top few buttons of his black and red shirt had come undone, showing off the sheen of sweat that lingered over the necromancer's skin. From the way he was sitting, the snug fit of the jeans showed Harry that he had been just as affected by their kiss as he had.
He then hissed as Bob's hand moved up along his thigh and palmed him through the fabric of the jeans.
Bob gave him a devilish grin and then said in that low, promising voice of his…
"Hurry home, Harry."
He never had driven faster in his life.
As soon as they made it back to the apartment, they went straight up the stairs. The instant Bob threw him back on the mattress, he stripped him of his boots and coat and whispered in Harry's ear, "You need to wear those more often, Harry," and then Harry heard Bob's shoes and coat hit the floor, and he thought to himself, Boots and leather…it works every time…
There wasn't much talking after that.
Part 4/4
A.N. - This was just supposed to be a bit of fun. Put a little bit of both them in it (Johnny Steele and Paul), and besides...Bob in tight jeans and a leather coat? Oh, yeah! And Harry, too... *wipes up drool* Well, you know what I mean. *wink* Hope you enjoyed it!

Urgot's basics.
You should read this if you are not familiar with Urgot's mechanics. His play style is mainly a poker/lane bully with a strong early. However he does not have any mobility, which in return he gets some nice tankiness. He is a mainly skill shot based champion however he is quite versatile in his combos and switches between lockons as well.

In her home city of São Paulo, Brazil, Yane Brogiollo was a manager at Hewlett-Packard Co., where she oversaw a team of 15 database professionals. She also designed and taught courses for a local university's MBA program.
They were "wonderful" jobs, and she earned a good salary. São Paolo was crowded, though, and too big. Crime was escalating. So a year and a half ago, she moved to Vancouver, hoping to find a better quality of life.
That hasn't happened. Despite 15 years of IT experience and a master of science degree in computer engineering, 70 job applications have yielded only five interviews and no offers.
"The first thing they look is for Canadian experience," she says. "If you don't have that, they don't call you for an interview. And if you don't get an interview, it's hard to show your skills."
She's not alone. Canada has a well-documented history of attracting the best and brightest immigrants from developing countries. But many of these people wind up jobless, or in minimum-wage survival jobs. And there's a wider economic cost to the country of under-utilizing these skilled workers.
New research by the Royal Bank of Canada, to be published Monday and released exclusively to The Globe and Mail, puts a price tag on that lost opportunity. The study finds that if immigrants' skills were rewarded in a similar way to that of Canadian-born workers, the increase in their incomes would amount to $30.7-billion – or the equivalent of 2.1 per cent of the country's gross domestic product.
Closing the gap with Canadian-born workers would also translate into about 42,000 additional jobs.
"If we are going to continue to flourish and grow as a country, we've got to be very receptive to foreign capital, to foreign thinking and to foreign skills to maximize our potential," Gordon Nixon, the bank's chief executive officer, said in an interview. "I think it is very important that we have that macro discussion, particularly against a backdrop of high unemployment and financial global economic turmoil."
Beyond Canada's moral obligation to dismantle employment barriers, Mr. Nixon argues that underemployment and the persistent wage gap have a huge impact on the economy.
The problem is not just individuals suffering "social injustice or underemployment," he said. Rather, it is about Canada squandering its own growth potential because it delays the ability of newcomers to put down roots by buying homes, saving for their children's education or investing for retirement.
"If you look at what drives the real-estate market, what drives consumer spending – unemployment and wealth and incomes [are]key drivers in terms of that, so it filters right across the economy," said Mr. Nixon.
The study uses details from the last census to calculate the earnings gap between immigrants and Canadian-born workers. It also explores reasons for that gap, which widened between the 1970s and 2000s – even though newcomers' education levels increased.
This year's report is a follow-up to one the bank produced in 2005, called The Diversity Advantage: A Case for Canada's 21st Century Economy, which pegged the cost at $13-billion. The new study puts the figure much higher, as its methodology changed to factor in the different educational, demographic and geographic profile of immigrants to Canada.
The recession was hard on recent immigrants. Employment tumbled 12.9 per cent among new immigrants in the downturn, led by a slump in factory jobs, compared with a 2.2-per-cent drop for Canadian-born workers, Statistics Canada figures show.
As of November, the jobless rate among Canadian-born workers was 6.3 per cent, compared with 8.4 per cent for all landed immigrants and 13.4 per cent for recent immigrants, according to Statistics Canada.
Businesses, academics and community leaders are sounding the alarm on this issue – warning that broader Canadian society will pay a steep price if new immigrants continue to struggle with underemployment and a yawning wage gap.
"We need immigrants," said John Tory, the former Rogers Communications executive and past leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party, in a recent speech. "We need them in our work force, we need them to sustain and expand not only the labour market, but our consumer market as well. And they want to be here. But there are still significant hurdles to overcome, and we need to come together to find a solution quickly."
Consumer spending accounts for 60 to 70 per cent of the Canadian economy. There is little doubt that underemployment and the sizable income gap facing newcomers have far-reaching consequences for both consumer spending and overall economic growth.Report Typo/Error

"Ok, so I am repining this because I just tried it and it actually works well. It doesn't hurt as bad as waxing and it's WAY better than shaving. I made it in the microwave and the directions say 2 min, but I did it for 3. It has lots of bubbles when cooking and it is almost completely clear when its done. Absolutely love it and SUPER CHEAP!! (Also I used an old t-shirt as strips) Good luck!"

The End Of The Ocean is an instrumental post-rock band from Columbus, Ohio. From their start in early 2009, The End Of The Ocean has had a penchant for crafting soundtrack-esque athems that move freely from beautiful to trippy to heart-tugging to fist clenching. Heavily influenced by mid 90's emo and their post-rock contemporaries, The End Of The Ocean utilizes intricate drumming, subtle guitar arpeggios, and a vast range of effects to craft beautiful, nostalgic and refreshingly unique memorable songs.
The End Of The Ocean has been fortunate enough to share the stage with Alcest, The Appleseed Cast, Caspian, Mono, Year Of No Light, If These Trees Could Talk, Pianos Become The Teeth, Touche Amore, Code Orange, Gates, Mouth of The Architect, Title Fight, Defeater, O'Brother, and many more.
The band has released 3 albums which have all made tidal waves in the post-rock community and has been included in the prestigious list of top 100 albums of 2011 by The Silent Ballet.
With three albums and multiple tours under their belt, The End Of The Ocean is currently writing a new full length album set to be released in late 2017 and preparing for their second international tour.
The End Of The Ocean brings forth a wall of sound and an aggressive live show. Listeners can't help to be caught up in the band's maelstrom of nostalgia, hope, beauty, melancholy, chaos and tranquility. It's how The End Of The Ocean creates this ebb and flow of emotions that makes this band a monumental experience.

Located on the river Elbe, Hamburg is the economic and cultural center of Northern Germany. With some 1.7 million inhabitants within the city boundaries and in total five million in the greater metropolitan region, Hamburg is not only the second largest city in Germany, but an important business and trade destination. Hamburg harbour is the second largest in Europe in terms of container handling, only second to Rotterdam. Its proximity to the North Sea and Baltic Sea and its excellent inland connections make it a hub for trade and transport flows in Northern Europe. Although trade always was and still is a very important pillar of the local economy, Hamburg's economic landscape is overall diversified with a broad industrial and service sector base. Hamburg is a leader in medical technology and biotechnology and home to international corporates like Helm AG, Beiersdorf (Nivea), Mont Blanc, Otto Group and ECE – just to name a few. Also industrial corporates like Airbus and Siemens Wind Power are located here. The Hanseatic city is one of Germany's leading media and publication hubs, with major magazines and newspapers like Die Zeit and Der Spiegel founded and published in Hamburg. Moreover, the city is a center for creative advertising, design and games. Major media brands in all sectors have an office in Hamburg.
Hamburg's office market is the third largest in Germany in terms of stock with some 14.74 million sq.m office space – outperformed only by Munich and Berlin. For many years, Hamburg's office market was the least volatile in Germany with take-up, rents and vacancy moving in comparatively narrow bands. This has changed in the past years, driven by the development of a brand new city district right in the heart of the City. HafenCity is located on the river Elbe in walking distance to Hamburg town hall and thus the CBD. HafenCity features modern architecture and at the same time listed historical buildings. The maritime yet urban atmosphere with its mix of office, residential, entertainment and retail attracts major corporates like Kühne+Nagel and Unilever just as much as international law firms, media agencies, tech firms and shipping agencies. The development of this new city district gave Hamburg's office market an overall boost in the past years. It was the third highest letting volume every recorded in the Hanseatic City. With a moderate completion level – the majority pre-let – and a high letting volumes, office vacancy decreased over the year 2015. Prime rents gave in to upward pressure and rose over 2015. Overall average rents are moving upwards. Hamburg's office market is forecast to hold stable in 2016 with vacancy further decreasing and rents edging upwards. Hamburg's most sought after office submarkets are CBD and Hafencity.
Hamburg is Germany's top retail location in the North. Its historical and vast CBD is home to national and international retailers active in the mid-market to luxury segment who value Hamburg's above average purchasing power of 111. Whereas Mönckebergstraße and Spitalerstraße cater for the mid-market segment, Hamburg's western part of the CBD with Jungfernstieg, Neuer Wall and Große Bleichen attracts mostly luxury retailers and shoppers. Due to its historic city development, Hamburg has a number of strong retail destinations outside the CBD which provide retail facilities for entire city districts and beyond e.g. Schanzenviertel (Schulterblatt), Winterhude (Mühlenkamp), Eppendorf (Eppendorfer Baum) and Altona (Ottenser Hauptstraße). As Hamburg is home to international shopping center developer ECE, it comes as no surprise that shopping center density is above average in the Hanseatic City. They are located within the CBD, in the heart of city districts and on the outskirts.
Hamburg harbour is the second largest in terms of container handling in Europe only outperformed by Rotterdam. Container handling amounted to some 8.8 million TEU in 2015 and another 138 million tons passed through the harbour in the past year. Hamburg harbour offers excellent infrastructure for modal split what creates high demand for logistics space in and around the harbour. As supply is relatively limited, prime rents are among the highest in. Hamburg is located on major highways linking the city to Scandinavia in the North, Berlin and Poland to the East, Hannover and Frankfurt to the South, Bremen and the Netherlands to the West.
For a number of years now, investors value Hamburg's diversified economy, the city's overall economic strength and its comparatively solid leasing markets. Accordingly, investment volumes steadily rose over the past few years. As in so many other German cities, it was the second highest result ever recorded just outperformed by the pre-crisis year 2007.
The Avison Young team in Hamburg is led by Thomas Loeffler. The growing team comprises office leasing, investment and research experts who provide national and international clients with customized real estate advisory solutions in Hamburg and the greater region.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Ten brilliant days couchsurfing in springtime Paris - and then once again in the summertime! A wicked free-wheeling trip to Czech Republic with Oz. A dreamy and surreal Christmas trip to Catalunya with Brigi. Short hot date in Riga with Brigi: cats everywhere! One night in San-Francisco, the home of Poderosa. Greece with Ozzy: divided my life into 'before' and 'after'.
Hosting: every person was a revelation.
Music, tea, gliding, open roads, strangers, poetry, chess, girls who wear green, Paris, abandoned cemeteries, ellipses, languages, pretending to be Bob Dylan, postcards, proverbs, scat singing, saxophones, annoying alliterations, C# minor, looking up photos of unknown bands and trying to identify the drummer, horizons, donkeys...

Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach you the beautiful Russian and Ukrainian languages, a bit of ukulele, Russian card games, the 'invisible gnome' joke and how to draw imperfect circles.
I'd love to learn anything that's especially close to your heart...

I've started and restarted writing this post three times.
It turns out I have a lot on my Everythingtarian mind and want nothing more than to spell out every little feeling in a cacophony of letters and words on this lil' blog of mine. I blame my third appointment with M.T. today for making me so contemplative.
More on that later.
However, sometimes the words just don't flow.
Like today.
Today, the words want to stay hibernating in their comfortable three-bedroom condos in Florida instead of visiting me in brisk, 63-degree Wisconsin. I can't say I blame them. Although, I would offer them free Wisconsin Cheese if they did make an appearance here, which should clearly be reason enough to come.
Instead of trying to force them to come hither, I am just going to let them be.
In place of my usual attempts at introspective yet humorous blog posting, I am just going to start by telling you I had sunflower seed butter, banana + cinnamon on toasted Ezekiel bread for breakfast.
It hit the spot, per usual.
I'm sorry peeps, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
After lots of catching up on office things after being gone for more than a week, I snacked on Quaker Cinnamon Oatmeal Squares throughout the day to keep me going…
I find if I have a lil' something to munch on at work, I am a much more productive employee.
The boss lady can thank me later for that one.
Alright D. Diddy?
For lunch, I wrangled up some carrots + celery and devoured Trader Joe's Three Layer Hummus to my inner hippie heart's content…
For dessert, I snacked on a new-to-me TJ's Fiberful bar, which was a blend of both fruits AND veggies…
It just so happens there is a 1/2 serving of both fruits AND veggies in that baby. Most importantly, it doesn't actually taste like there is veggies in there.
After my therapy appointment + work, I headed off for a much-needed 60-minute yoga class, where I successfully dozed off in savasana and would probably have kept sleeping if it was not for the fact my friend Curtis was in the class.
For dinner, roughage in the form of a ginormous junk salad was on the menu…
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cucumber, sliced
1/2 tomato, diced
1 TJ's Veggie Masala Burger
1/3 cup chickpeas
sprinkle of nooch
sprinkle of sunflower seeds
drizzle of lemon basil pesto dressing
Now, I am sitting here trying to find my writing flow.
I am hoping a Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie will help that cause.
Can't hurt, right?

This is my first behind the scenes, studio styling post!! I'm excited to show you some slightly pulled back shots of what it looked like in the space that I shot Princess' very vintage, romantic Intimates session :)
What my vintage session dreams are made of! Vintage romance styling in a clean, neutral color palette with beautiful natural, window light that floods in + through!
It's my birthday!! I'm now entering the last year of my 20's & I'm looking back + looking forward!
An intimates session rich in simplicity + stillness.
Get a peek into our new bedroom and see what we did with a very odd piece of southern history, transforming it into a functional dresser in and clean, bohemian style!!
Stumbling upon this beautiful patch of goldenrods on a walk out with Tim one night inspired this self-portrait session! Come explore with me through the beauty of North Carolina in the Fall!
This session speaks Summer to me! It's a beautiful, romantic, vintage summer spent soaking in the heat and the sunset.
It's finally time to share the news with you all! We are moving out of New Bern. Tim's job brought us here in 2012 and it's his job that is now taking us to Chapel Hill. We're not going far!
Well guy, I've started a blog!! This has been on my mind and hearts for months-- a place to go beyond the photos. Hoping you'll stay with me!

Amplifier Power Specifications
Amplifier Specifications
An amplifier increases the power of the signal being fed to it by taking energy from its power supply and matching the signal but increasing its amplitude. Amplifiers use many different methods for converting these electrical signals and have been categorized into classes.
Class A/B: Greater than 50% of the input signal is amplified while the other percentage is "off". These amplifiers have a small amount of current flowing through the output transistors all the time which almost eliminates crossover distortion. Class A/B has great sound quality but is not as efficient as class D. These amps are most commonly used to drive speakers.
Class D: Also known as switching amplifiers, class D amps have output transistors that are completely turned "on" or "off". This means that when the transistors are on, there is almost no voltage across them but when they are off there is significant voltage but no current flowing through it which makes these amplifiers very efficient at the cost of sound quality. These amps are most commonly used to drive subwoofers.Other Classes: You may see classes such as GH, bD, X, FD, etc. by some manufactures. These amplifiers tend to be either class A/B, D or a hybrid of the two but with improvements to their designs that can make them more efficient or offer better sound quality.
It is measured during a brief musical burst, such as a sudden drum accent. Some manufacturers display peak power ratings on the face of their products to increase the appeal.
The RMS power rating is more accurate, and we recommend using it for product comparison.
RMS power is the amount of continuous power, measured in watts, that an amplifier produces is called RMS power. The higher the RMS figure, the louder and cleaner your music sounds.
The RMS output figure is much more accurate than the peak rating when comparing products.
A crossover is a type of filtering system that permits only certain frequencies to play. A Low-Pass (LP) crossover allows only frequencies below its setting to get through which is good in the case of some subwoofers. A High-Pass(HP) filter allows frequencies above its setting to pass through, this is normally used on speakers.
When a crossover is set to FULL it means no filtering is added and the full frequency spectrum is allowed through the amplifier. Filtering is important because feeding a speaker frequencies it cannot reproduce effectively creates distortion.
The steepness of the roll-off slope is measured in dB/octave and refers to the rate of attenuation (lowering of volume) outside their pass bands.
- RMS Power
- Signal-to-Noise Ratio
This rating applies to both external car amplifiers, as well as the amplifiers inside of in-dash stereos.
Subwoofer Specifications
If the loaded enclosure or amplifier and subwoofer package includes more than a single subwoofer, then this is the total RMS power handling for all of the subs combined.
The RMS power is the amount of power the speaker requires to operate safely and properly. RMS Power Handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle on a continuous basis. We recommend giving your subwoofer(s) 75% - 90% of the recommended RMS rating.
If the loaded enclosure or amplifier and subwoofer package includes more than a single subwoofer, then this is the total peak power handling for all of the subs combined.
Peak power handling refers to the amount of power a speaker can handle during a brief musical burst. The RMS power range figure is a much more reliable rating for determining the speaker's power requirements.
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.

Chocolate-Peanut Butter Frosting
Recipe by JamesDeansGirl
When spread on yellow cake or cupcakes, dessert becomes reminiscent of Tasty Kake's Kandy Kakes:) Yummy! But for those who dote on rich and intensely flavored bites, spread this on peanut butter or chocolate cakes:)
Top Review by Lucky in Bayview
Tasty! I used this recipe to frost a yellow cake. DH and I really enjoyed the flavor combination. The consistency was different than other frosting recipes I've made. It was very smooth and kind of glossy. This recipe made enough to cover my 9x9 cake with a little to spare. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

My wife and I needed a place to stay on a long trip and ended up at the Rodeway Inn because the Econolodge across the street was full. We checked in at around 1:20am. First off, the room was extremely cold. I'd estimate between 30 and 40°. The room smelled bad. The heater looked smashed up and was barely working. It took several hours for the room to warm up. There were blood stains and hair on the sheets of both beds and even more blood on the side of the bed. We were completely disgusted. There were cobwebs all around the room, including in the heater. The walls and ceiling looked like they were falling apart. If it wasn't so late at night, we would have changed hotels in a heartbeat. We thought about sleeping in our car, but we had brought along extra blankets and pillows so we used those. Even then, it was so cold that we shivered for over an hour trying to get warm. We were out of there first thing in the morning. It was by far the WORST hotel experience I've ever had.

The only thing I would add to this is that I aim to achieve this as quickly as your body will allow. We can then try to maintain this state as long as possible by advising about work, life and leisure activities, simple stretching and exercises, or if you would like maintenance treatment. I will advise you on the combination I feel is the best solution for you, but you control how much or how little you would like to be involved in keeping as pain free as possible.
I qualified from the British School of Osteopathy in 1995. I am registered, with other Yeovil Osteopaths at the General Osteopathic Council and hold my indemnity insurance through Zurick.
I hope you find this web site informative and helpful.

Dry-Aged Duck Breasts with Golden Beet Panzanella
Chef Paul Kahan of The Publican in Chicago has a great trick for heightening the flavor of duck breasts: He ages them on the bone in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Boneless duck breasts can be aged using the same method, although the results won't be as dramatic; if you're short on time, use unaged duck.
Pairing: Chef Paul Kahan pairs this dish with his bright, slightly tart Golden Jet, the Belgian golden ale he made with Goose Island Brewery. Jolly Pumpkin's excellent Oro de Calabaza ale from Michigan would also be a good match.

About Us
The Steel City Volleyball League (SCVL) offers a fun and friendly atmosphere for recreational and competitive volleyball among Pittsburgh's gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and straight ally community.
We've Moved!
We were very sad to leave Greentree Sportsplex but as our league grows we needed room to expand. Our new address is listed below.
Pittsburgh Elite Volleyball Association
1 Herron Avenue
Pittsburgh, PA 15202
The Number Five
Another theme that was overwhelmingly supported by the survey respondents was the desire for both more court time and more social opportunities. A consideration that received very strong support was to increase Sunday court time to five hours, which the Board approved unanimously after the survey responses were read.
For the fall season, Sunday league hours will be from 4:00 - 9:00 pm. The extra hour during this Fall season will be included from 6:00 - 7:00 pm, to offer some scheduling flexibility when we might need time for an extra match, to provide a period of open play for cross-divisional social interaction, and even to enable us to schedule a Skillz Clinic that does not overlap scheduled matches.
New Divisions
One theme that we heard frequently from our annual survey responses this year and before is that the spread of talent across the divisions has become too broad---that players with ratings on the lower end of a division often struggle to compete against players at the higher end of the same division (or playing from a higher division), leading to frustration on the court.
This feeling was not isolated to any one division: in fact, this year's responses showed that the feeling was expressed across all divisions, from Rec to Power. It turns out that this feeling is supported by the data of how ratings are distributed throughout the league, so the Board considered a five-division proposal that would help re-calibrate the levels of play across all divisions.
Based on feedback from the survey, the league membership by-and-large expressed its support of the five-division proposal being considered by the Board. So, this season, a new, fifth division will be offered that we expect will help address this concern and lead to a more-consistent level of play in each division while still preserving, as much as possible, opportunities for social interaction. Please see the new
for more detailed descriptions of each division.
How will this change affect me?
Under the modified structure, the Intermediate Division will continue to focus on a level of play consistent with C-level volleyball (simpler offense, less fast-paced, 4-2 rotation).
The Competitive Division will focus on a level of play consistent with a low-mid B level (simpler offense, fast-paced, 5-1/6-2 rotation).
The old Power Division will remain the Power Division and will focus on a level of play consistent with a high-B up to mid-BB level (complex offense, less fast-paced, 5-1 rotation).
The new division, called the Power Plus Division, will focus on a level of play consistent with a mid-BB to A level (complex offense, fast-paced, 5-1 rotation).
The Recreational Division will remain as it has been for those seeking recreational, unrated play.
The benefit of the new structure is that it will help focus and define more qualitatively the level of play expected in each division, which will make it easier for players to develop their skills and progress upward if they choose to do so. Based on the divisional changes across all rated levels, some players' current ratings will qualify them for automatic promotion to a higher division.
If you have played in the last two seasons, please check the
new division rosters
, to see which division you qualify for. If you have not played in the past two seasons, you will need to attend a tryout for your preferred division.
You may challenge your rating once during one of three sessions available for each division.
Playing in Two Divisions
During the last two seasons, there were several requests by two-division players wanting to develop skills in secondary positions (e.g. a hitting-weighted player wanting to play in a lower division as a setter). The Board tried its best during team-building to accommodate these players and built teams around their secondary skills. While we think it was a worthwhile effort to help players develop additional volleyball skills, it became very challenging to administer fairly, and it unfairly prevented some players in the lower division from playing in their preferred positions.
So, the Board has concluded that we no longer can support this request. The Board will do our best to assign these two-division players to teams based on their higher-rated primary general position: Hitters will be assigned as Hitters, Setters will be assigned as Setters, and it will be assumed that Liberos will be used by their team primarily in the back row. These players will retain their higher-division rating for purposes of substitution. Two-division players who would like the chance to play in secondary positions should work that out with their teammates.
Simply put, we are going back to the way things were in prior seasons: restoring a team's flexibility to use all its players as it thinks best.
Please don't forget: mentorship is an important part of playing in a second division!

Dr. Howard
Two weeks ago, I wrote about Dr. Edward Berryman, a dear teacher who died in August. This week, I heard that another professor of mine, Dr. Thomas Howard, recently passed away as well.
Two columns about old professors in three weeks? Why not. The chance to write about Dr. Tom Howard is too good to pass up.
Dr. Howard taught American history at the University of North Dakota.
His view of history was that you had to go way back in time to get to the root of the matter. Way, way back.
When I took the history of the American Revolution from Dr. Howard, I was surprised that he started out by discussing the Roman Empire.
We eventually got up to the Puritans. By the end of the semester, we were into the 1700's, but we never fought a battle. To Dr. Howard, the philosophical roots of the American Revolution were far more important than the silly battles that fill the textbooks.
One day that semester, a freshman student asked an innocent question. "I am confused, just what is the difference between the Puritans and the Pilgrims?"
Dr. Howard sighed. Then he started his answer.
Two class periods and five days later, he gestured to the hapless student and said, "so, in answer to your question..."
One day Dr. Howard left a note for me to see him in his office. Oh dear, I thought. He had standards, and I was pretty sure I wasn't meeting them.
Dr. Howard's chain smoking was the stuff of legend, and as I sat in his office fearing the worse, a forgotten cigarette smoldered in the ashtray while he busily tugged on another.
Dr. Howard said a student in the class was struggling. He had flunked the first test. The kid was at his wit's end. Would I be willing to help?
"Of course," I said, not knowing what I would do.
I spent all of twenty minutes with the student. He didn't seem to want my assistance. But I showed him how I outlined my answers on the essay exams before I wrote them out.
Apparently it worked. The student got B for the course. I didn't know until Dr. Howard called me into his office to tell me it was my help that did it. I was proud as a peacock. Dr. Howard made sure to make me feel better, too.
I came back to UND for graduate school. At that time I became familiar with the fact that Dr. Howard liked to drink. To excess. Pretty much nightly.
Oh, it annoyed him when final examinations were scheduled after five p.m. "Why, that's smack dab in the middle of cocktail hour!" he said incredulously.
To preserve his routine, he had graduate students proctor the late exams. We all knew why.
Dr. Howard gave up driving in 1969, which was a relief to all concerned.
But at the rate he was going, nobody figured Dr. Howard would live very long.
He loved to tell about his when his doctor put him on a treadmill. After a few seconds, the alarmed doctor turned the machine off. "We don't want you to die right here!" he said, and sent Dr. Howard home as a hopeless case.
But Dr. Howard chugged on. Ten years ago, he retired. I lost touch with him then, and didn't hear the rest of the story until this week.
After retirement, Tom Howard got married. At 66 years of age, he and his new wife took in an orphaned four-year-old girl with troubles galore.
In a feat of iron will, Dr. Howard quit drinking and smoking cold turkey and devoted himself to the care of his new daughter.
Miraculously, the little girl came around. After early troubles, she started getting good grades. Today, she excels in school and is a perfectly normal girl on the verge of her teens.
Tom Howard didn't make it to age 80, but despite decades of hard living, he came darn close.
Professor Howard left behind hundreds of students with an enhanced understanding of history, each with their own stories about an unusual and fascinating man.
But in an unexpected twist, Tom Howard also left behind a little girl who, against all odds, can go through life saying she had a good Dad.

"How do you grip the obstacles that get in the way of achieving your goals?" This
was one ask I asked umteen Silicon Valley business organization citizens that I interviewed a
few eld ago.
The day I asked this question to Cesar Plata, the networking religious leader of
, he seemed puzzled. He paused for a moment, looked at me,
and afterwards questioned me with one word, "Obstacles?" I nodded yes and remained
silent waiting for his reply.
"As next to someone propulsion a start business," the spiral burning trailblazer said, "I
have endured many of his own and economic sacrifices and struggles. I did not see
these hard work as barriers; I recognized them as erudition experiences. The way I see it,
they were merely unmet challenges."
"Unmet challenges?" I asked curiously missing to know more.
"Yes," he said." When something doesn't carry out right, you try other way and
another until you deliver the goods the grades you deprivation. In my be bothered in that are with the sole purpose unmet
Oh, I get it, I initiative. You just hold on active until you manage your mental object. You kill time
focused and livelihood on testing until you replace.
Unmet challenges: Cesar opened up a full new international for me on how to button my
goals. Forget obstacles. Stomp out the word, roadblock. Break away from the creeps.
Block out, immovable. Don't say, "I can't do it." Instead I must say, "That measure didn't
work, I'll try the side by side one."
Each case I donkey work on my goals now, I relax, purloin a weighty bodily function and basically do it. Every
step of the way on life's journey I know that I will manipulate those unmet challenges
with luxury. Thanks to Cesar I fitting more than of my goals now and stare pass on to
handling those unmet challenges.
