If you receive a DUI while attending college or applying to colleges, you may face consequences imposed by the institution, as well as state-mandated consequences indirectly impacting your college career.

College years are among some of the best in a person's life. It is important to keep those years intact by fighting the charges of one mistake.
We are here to help you! College students save an additional $200 off legal fees. Call us today for a free consultation.
DUI Consequences for College Students
If your college finds out about your DUI charge, the likelihood of facing punishment imposed by your school depends on whether you violated the institution's Student Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct will include certain sanctions for various violations. Although these codes vary, possible penalties include:
* Loss of scholarships and federal financial aid
* Loss of student housing
* Loss of college-related privileges (i.e. library use, attending athletic events)
* Temporary or permanent suspension
* Conduct probation
Some colleges will dole out penalties just for a DUI charge, even if you are not convicted of the crime.
If you are a high school student preparing to begin the college application process and have been charged with DUI, in addition to dealing with the pain of telling your mom and dad about your arrest for DUI, you may have to disclose the charge on a college application. Typically, a DUI will not necessarily prevent you from being admitted to a higher education institution, but failing to disclose the DUI may hurt your chances of being accepted – if you lie about the charge and the school finds out, they may deny your application based on the omission.
Before you make any kind of plea or legal decision regarding your DUI charge, you should speak with our DUI defense attorneys to find the best possible solution.
Long-Term Effects of College DUI
Even if your school does not punish you for a DUI, criminal consequences imposed by the state can indirectly affect both your college career and your future employment opportunities. In California, a DUI conviction may result in:
* A felony charge if this is not your first DUI.
* Suspension of your driving privileges.
* Jail time (from 96 hours to six months for a first)
* Steep fines (in excess of $3500).
* Installation of an ignition interlock device.
* Lengthy alcohol program.
Jail time and a suspension of your driver's license may dramatically impact your grade, because you may not be able to get to class. If you are looking at heavy fines, you may have to get a job, which can take your attention away from your studies.
If you are not a first-time offender, a repeat DUI can result in a felony conviction. Felony convictions can be especially troublesome because you may have to disclose the conviction on future job applications or applications to grad school. The felony may result in employers or graduate programs denying your application. Also, if you are pursuing a career in a field requiring licensure, such as law or nursing, your ability to get the license may be hindered by your felony.

Matt Fellowes told me earlier this year that the average American has six bank accounts. That seemed high to me, so I looked in my HelloWallet account to see how many bank accounts my wife and I had (I was expecting to find about 6, but no more than 12 for the two of us). We had 24 accounts: 2 checking accounts, 2 savings accounts, 4 credit cards, 4 separate retirement accounts, 2 brokerage accounts, 2 education savings accounts, 3 student loans, 2 insurance accounts, 1 healthcare account, 1 flexible savings account, 3 vendor specific charge cards. My initial reaction that 6 accounts was too high immediately seemed naive. But worse is that I didn't know how many accounts I had and they spanned across 20 different companies. Good grief, you'd think I was Mitt Romney with forgotten fortunes in Swiss Bank accounts, but unfortunately I was't finding hidden riches, I was finding untended financial services products with little usage & low balances. Bank accounts can grow like weeds, every financial institution & department store cashier seems to have an offer to 'reward you' for opening a new account. And those accounts have costs – either fees, or time spent maintaining the account, or the risks of not maintaining the account. But how many should I have? Is six the right number? Twelve?
- Fewer accounts means more money for you: The math here is pretty simple, financial institutions want your business and they will reward you with lower fees and better interest rates if you give them more of your finances to manage. If you split your savings accounts across two banks, you are also cutting your buying power with those banks in half. The psychology here is less intuitive, but shows the same result. Recent research from the University of Kansas shows that fewer accounts means you will save more. The researcher, professor Promothesh Chatterjee, puts it this way: "individuals find spending more enjoyable than saving and are motivated to search for reasons to justify spending. In such situations, vagueness enables them to distort available information to follow desirable spending motives. And having multiple accounts provides that vagueness." So if yo have multiple accounts for the same purpose, consider culling them down to one.
- Employer sponsored accounts are better for you: And the bigger your employer, the better deal you will probably get. Accounts we opened on our own had less favorable terms than accounts our employers offered us. I work for a small company, my wife works for a big company. The financial services accounts offered through my wife's large company were better. Companies have more purchasing power and you can benefit from their negotiations if you are fortunate enough to work for such an employer. So if you have employer sponsored financial service – like healthcare, education savings, insurance, retirement, etc – you should consider consolidating your accounts with those providers
- Loyalty matters: There are far too many fees and products to keep track of in financial services. It can be exhausting to become an informed buyer of them all. So if there is a particular bank you like for any reason – convenience, trust, customer service, ease of use – then use them over other banks and let them continue to earn your business. Because odds are they want to and life is too short to spend evaluating financial services products.

Former starting pitcher Cody Glenn and two freshman reserves plan to transfer from the LSU baseball team, coach Paul Mainieri said Monday.
Glenn, the team's No. 2 or 3 starter last season, has struggled in 2014 and was relegated to spot duty out of the bullpen. Dakota Dean and Jarret DeHart plan to transfer to junior colleges for more playing time.
Glenn began the season in a battle to retain his position as a weekend starter, but he lost out to junior-college transfer Kyle Bouman.
He did not make the team's postseason roster or the 27-man travel roster for this week's trip to Auburn. Maineri informed him of that Monday morning. Glenn was not on the eligible roster for this past weekend's series against Alabama.
Glenn has not told Mainieri officially that he'll transfer, but the coach expects that to happen.
"I would not be surprised if he plans to transfer," Mainieri said. "It may be in his best interest. I don't have enough confidence in him as a pitcher to utilize him in the postseason. There's probably a message there for him."
Glenn said in a text message that he will transfer to Lipscomb, an Atlantic Sun Conference school based in Nashville, Tennessee. Glenn's father, Greg, was named Lipscomb Academy head of school last month; it's a private, college preparatory school that is governed by the university.
"If I could do it again. You know Id do it the same." Glenn posted on his Twitter account Monday night.
The Tigers (36-14-1, 14-11-1 Southeastern) head into the final regular-season series from Thursday to Saturday at Auburn (27-25, 10-17) with 12 healthy pitchers. Teams normally have 15 to 17 hurlers.
Freshman outfielder Cade Stone replaced Glenn on the travel roster.
"I felt (it was) in the best interest of our team as far as giving us the best chance to win (that) Cade could contribute more," Mainieri said.
A junior from Texas, Glenn had a team-worst 5.51 ERA this year and allowed 42 hits in his 32.2 innings — a baffling follow-up to a solid season in 2013. Glenn was 7-3 with a 2.68 ERA last season, but he was suspended for the team's NCAA regional for breaking undisclosed team rules.
He was reinstated for the super regional against Oklahoma but did not pitch, then started the Tigers' second game of the College World Series against North Carolina, lasting two innings and giving up three earned runs and five hits in a 4-2 loss that ended LSU's season.
Why such the disparity in Glenn's performance this year?
"Last year, perhaps he overachieved," Mainieri said. "He did a lot of great things last year. God bless him. He did a great job for us. This year, he just didn't make the same quality of pitches. He didn't have the same movement on his fastball. He made some critical fielding errors.
"He's never had overpowering stuff. The margin of error for him is very slight because he doesn't throw exceptionally hard."
Glenn's final outing this season came in LSU's 4-3 loss in the series finale May 4 at Texas A&M. Glenn, first out of the bullpen, allowed a double and single and threw a possible double-play ball into the dirt at second base.
He started seven games this year, the last coming April 2 against McNeese State. In those seven starts, he allowed 14 earned runs in a combined 25.2 innings.
Dean, the brother of former LSU first baseman Blake Dean, and DeHart, an outfielder from New Jersey, each played in 10 games and started two. DeHart was 3-for-15. Dean, a first baseman, was 0-for-11. DeHart is the cousin of former LSU All-America pitcher Brett Laxton, who played for the Tigers from 1993-96.
Blake Dean played at LSU from 2007-10. He's second on LSU's career list with 332 hits.
Dakota Dean said he plans on transferring to a junior college near his home in Crestview, Florida. He said his brother agrees with his decision to leave LSU and seek more playing time.
"I talked to him today. He said I had to do what's best for me," Dakota Dean said. "I want to play every day, and there's a possibility that we're only losing two players next year. That could put me in a bind. Didn't want to be put in that situation again."
Poché's brief start
Freshman pitcher Jared Poché will get a tune-up before his start in the series-opening game Thursday at Auburn. He'll start Tuesday's game against Northwestern State (30-21) but won't throw past the first inning, Mainieri said.
Poché was expected to start in the rubber match Sunday between LSU and Alabama. That game was canceled because of rain and lightning. His last start came May 3 at Texas A&M.
"It would be 11 days between starts, and it's just too long for him," Mainieri said. "He most definitely will not pitch more than one inning, and he may not finish the first inning."
Poché's start Tuesday will replace his weekly throwing session in the bullpen.
"This will me a little bit better, throwing a live game to live hitters," he said. "I think it will only help."
Among the five major polls, LSU dropped in two and remained the same in three. The Tigers are ranked No. 8, 10, 13, 15 and 15. The Tigers' RPI, according to WarrenNolan.com, is 20. The NCAA releases its official RPI on Tuesdays. ... Sunday's scheduled Senior Day will be moved to Tuesday. LSU will honor Kurt McCune, Nate Fury, Christian Ibarra and Sean McMullen before the game.

The effective teaching of reading makes use of multiple approaches tailored to individual students' strengths and abilities states Marie Carbo, executive director of the National Reading Styles Institute in Syosset, New York. She provides some guidelines for teachers interested in designing reading programs using elements of phonics and whole language to better accommodate diverse learning styles.
Carbo reports that students who are able to discriminate easily among sounds and who respond to the logic underlying decoding sound-symbol relationships, thrive in reading programs that are phonics-based. But, for children who are bored or mystified by step-by-step learning or who can not easily hear differences among similar sounds, phonics can be confusing and frustrating, making learning to read a difficult and unpleasant chore.
Learning styles
Children who do well in whole language programs are visual, tactile, and have a global rather than an analytic learning style, Carbo writes. These students remember whole words that they have seen frequently and which they "feel" through writing their own stories. Whole language programs emphasize lots of interaction through peer teaching and learning and game-playing.
Analytic learners, however, may experience the whole language approach as disorganized and chaotic. Without the systematic logic provided by phonics, Such learners may feel helpless, deprived of the tools they need for decoding unfamiliar words.
For teachers who want to combine phonics and whole-language elements in their reading program, Carbo suggests:
1. Avoid the boredom of excessive drill in phonics by limiting skill work to a few minutes a day with no more than one worksheet and try phonics-based word games.
2. For students having difficulty with phonics, have them spend more time with recorded books and story writing.
3. Limit the period when students are allowed to use invented spelling.
4. Provide a lot of modeling by reading aloud before expecting children to read independently.

2 Chainz Performs at Coachella 2013 (VIDEO)
2 Chainz's Coachella set on Saturday afternoon didn't go without a hitch. The rapper showed up 20 minutes late for his 45 minute set, and only performed for the remaining 25 minutes before he had to end his show due to the schedule.
Man, take it from a seven-year Coachella veteran, if there is one thing that a band at Coachella should never do, it's start 20 minutes late. That's 20 minutes you could have spent watching another set someplace else. End early, but don't start late.
Still, Tity Boi turnt the crowd up with original tracks like "Birthday Song," "I'm Different" and "Crack."

13 airmen overseas, 1 in States chosen for 'wish list'
A local organization is helping a troops serving in harm's way by sending them Christmas presents as a special thank-you.
Unity, A Journey of Hope — a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to adults with life-limiting illnesses — recently held a gift-wrapping and box-packing event at American Legion Post 51 in Uniontown for 13 airmen from the 911th Security Wing from Pittsburgh.
John Robinson, co-founder and president of the organization, said its Operation Christmas Wish received no requests this year from for adults with life-limiting illnesses. With Robinson's son, Jason, deployed in Saudi Arabia, the organization changed this year's Operation Christmas Wish.
"We decided to adopt those 13 men," John Robinson said.
The 13 men and one airman in the United States and their loved ones will receive a care package full of presents is usually for adults with life-limiting illnesses, but they donated by some recognizable names.
Poison lead singer and Pittsburgh native Bret Michaels provided autographed shirts and backstage passes; players from the D.C. United soccer team also donated autographed items; and former Pirates Pitcher Kent Tekulve autographed shirts for each of the airmen.
"He gave so much of his time for the morale of the troops," Robinson said of Tekulve.
Robinson added that one donation of an X-Box 360 video-game system was from a man that spoke to Robinson's wife at Wal-Mart during Black Friday. After the man learned of what the group was doing, he handed Robinson's wife the game system as a donate gift.
"Everyone in line started clapping," Robinson said.
Robinson said that his son serving overseas and reporting to his parents what the troops experience has hit home and makes the organization's operation that much more important.
"We're proud parents of Jason and all his crew," Robinson said.
Along with the organization's volunteers, members of the Laurel Highlands High School Air Force Jr. ROTC and American Legion Post 51 helped with stuffing the packages. Robinson said he expects the packages to reach Saudi Arabia in time for Christmas.
The airmen's loved ones of those airmen will receive their gifts on Christmas Eve.

COSHOCTON One stroke is all that kept the Cambridge High Bobcats from claiming the Division II Sectional Tournament title on Tuesday at River Greens Golf Course.
Cambridges East Central Ohio League rival, Claymont, won the championship with a team score of 312. Leading the Mustangs was co-medalist Drew Daberko.
The Bobcats were led by junior Brad Wright, who earned co-medalist honors by shooting an even-par 72.
Also scoring for Cambridge were senior Keith Grywalski with a 74; Andrew Gibson with a 79; and junior Aaron Neff and sophomore Michael Sarap, who each fired 88s.
Cambridge head coach Kevin Smith praised his team for stepping up their level of play.
Its always great when one of your players (Wright) step up to lead the team and shoot the low round of the tournament, Smith stated. Keith also turned in a great performance with a 74. With him being the only senior...its one of his better rounds of the season. Its nice to see a senior step up and lead us by the way he played today.
Im very pleased with the teams performance today. We would have liked to have won, but the big thing is that were playing next week. The Central District teams are very good. We hope to play the best we can and see where it takes us, Smith concluded.
Claymont and Cambridge (313) were followed by: 3. West Muskingum (320); 4. Coshocton (327); 5. Buckeye Local (330); 6. Indian Creek (334); 7. Beaver Local (336); 8. John Glenn (336); 9. Meadowbrook (345); 10. Tuscarawas Valley (345); 11. St. Clairsville (352); 12. Martins Ferry (353); 13. Morgan (354); 14. Steubenville (357); 15. West Holmes (359); 16. Philo (360); 17. Edison (371); 18. Maysville (372); 19. Union Local (373); 20. Ridgewood (374); 21. Harrison Central (382); 22. Bellaire (390); 23. Sandy Valley (398); and 24. Indian Valley, which didnt have a score due to only have three golfers participate.
Claymont, Cambridge, West Muskingum, Coshocton, Buckeye Local and Indian Creek all advanced as teams to district competition.
The top six individuals who advanced were Morgans Jordan Huck (78), Martins Ferrys Dave DeFranco (80); John Glenn junior Ryan Stiers (80); Steubenvilles Mike Giannamore (81); Beaver Locals Steve Burt (81); and John Glenn senior Drew Lambert (82), who won a one-hole playoff against West Holmes Jordan Huck. Lambert carded a four on the par 4 first hole while Huck had a five.
John Glenn head coach Chad Orrechio was happy to have two team members advance to the districts.
Ryan and Drew worked very hard this summer, Orrechio noted. They definitely deserve the opportunity to keep playing. Its going to be a good experience for Ryan for next year.
For Meadowbrook (84-51), senior Joel Thompson carded an 83. Senior James Neff added an 87; junior Ryan Doutt penciled in an 87; and junior Jhett Neuhart finished with an 88.
MHS head coach Mel Pesuit said he and his Colts were dejected following their performance on Tuesday.
Were extremely disappointed, Pesuit stated. We shot 18 strokes better on the same course Saturday (at the Eastern District Open). Of course, the conditions were different, but Cambridge rose to the occasion as did Claymont, Coshocton and some other teams.
We just didnt get it done today. However, we cant wallow in self pity because weve got to get it done Friday (at the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference 3-A Tournament), Pesuit added.
John Glenn was led by Stiers and Lambert. Also scoring for the Muskies were sophomore Troy McCulley and sophomore Brad Tilton, who each carded an 87.
NEXTCambridge, along with John Glenns Stiers and Lambert, will compete in the D-II District Tournament on Tuesday at Echo Springs Golf Course in Johnstown. Cambridge, who will be looking to advance to the state tourney for the first time since winning the schools only championship in 1994, will tee off at 9:08 a.m. The Colts will participate in the OVAC 3-A Tourney on Friday at Belmont Hills Country Club in St. Clairsville at 10 a.m.

Welcome to the best fishing month of the open water season.
June is my favorite month because the spawn has been completed and the water temperatures are rising every day getting the game fish active and cruising for food almost on a full time basis.
June is when the bass season gets into gear and the walleyes are still somewhat shallow and active.
Many of the central Minnesota lakes I fish on a regular basis offer both species and I use techniques that work well on both at the same time. Here's a primer on some of my favorite presentations to catch both of these species in June.
The rule of thumb on cranking for gamefish is to stick to the long and thin crankbaits for walleyes and short, stubby baits for bass.
I always have a couple of rods rigged with both baits and often change between the two every 20 minutes or so.
You can get fooled sometimes as the two species can often flip flop their desires on these baits.
During June I always keep my crankbaits in the mid range of sizes because many of the young-of-the-year baitfish are still tiny and within the two inch length. Most of my June cranks are between one and two inches in length.
These itty-bitty baits are also good on accidental crappies that you take along the way which are always a nice bonus.
Redtail chubs
This is probably the best minnow bait in the central part of Minnesota and I use these exclusively on many lakes such as Leech, Gull, Mille Lacs and Knife Lake. The difference between a redtail and a fathead is huge as many neutral walleyes and bass will turn up their nose at a fathead but will charge in quickly on a redtail chub.
The minnows are super hearty and stand up to a lot of abuse and will last far longer than a standard shiner minnow.
They also a very good in water with low oxygen levels and have a beefy body allowing them to withstand constant trolling and rocky bottoms.
Plastic ringworms
I don't know what the appeal of the plastic ringworm style of baits to walleyes are but they smack those just as well as the largemouth bass.
These baits have been coming on strong on the river systems in Minnesota and Wisconsin and I have a permanent stash of these baits on hand at all times. These are basically a plastic style worm in the six-inch size that have rows of rings along the bait making them slither and contort giving them great action.
This is a great artificial bait to place on a long shanked jig and thrown into weedlines, breaks or even backtrolled along rockpiles.
There is nothing in the realm of natural food in our lakes that look like these baits but you can't argue with success.
Maybe it's because this is something they have never seen before making them strike out of curiosity.

What high-end brands do those unpredictable but desirable, virtually-enabled, live-life-on-Facebook twentysomethings like? This is a question that obsesses luxury — after all, some chunk of said twentysomethings will become the luxury purchasers of the future, and knowing what they respond to is one of the great mysteries of today and potential cash cows of tomorrow.

Celebrating Dad's 50th Birthday
Make Dad's milestone birthday unforgettable with a special celebration!
Make Dad's milestone birthday unforgettable with a special celebration!
My father's birthday is on July 5, so his birthday gets overshadowed by Fourth of July celebrations pretty much every year. That's why when it came to the big 5-0, we knew we had to give him the bash of a lifetime.
It's a little known fact that 50 is one of the most important milestones in Russian culture. After all, they did give President Obama his very own stamp to celebrate his 50th! And I knew my Dad deserved something even greater.
Because of the economy, he wasn't expecting anything big, so it made it even easier to turn the party into a surprise! The hardest choice was choosing the right venue. He's not much of a party-er, so I knew I had to choose something fun and unique that would be memorable for everyone.
There were a few things I had to keep in mind when choosing the venue.
The first was that it had to have a private area for our guests. My mom had her own surprise planned – a show with his closest friends and family retelling popular rhymes and stories from their youth. This show included costumes, so of course it had to be super exclusive. The other important factor was to make sure the place had a great option for an open bar, because the fact that Russians mostly drink vodka is more than just a myth.
After a few recommendations, I finally decided to have his party at the racetrack nearby. They not only had private rooms, but also party packages complete with catering and open bar. Not only would we not have to worry about providing food, I knew none of our guests had ever done something like this! We gave each of them a goodie bag filled with tips on how to bet and some money to place a bid on their favorite horse.
When we arrived at the racetrack, my dad had no idea what was going on. His expression changed when he saw an old friend he hadn't seen in years. His face went to confusion to delight and excitement immediately. I thought he had finally caught on, but he thought it was pure coincidence that they were there! We had obviously done a great job of duping him! Plus, we got to see his surprised face all over again.
Since we had also sponsored a race, we had the chance to take a group photo in the winner's circle with the champion horse. That photo now hangs in our living room so my father will never forget that day or his new favorite four legged friend.

ORLANDO.—Of course the Raptors are going to go on the road to face a powerful opponent minus a starter and a key sub and reduced to little more than a nine-man team and win.
Of course they're going to go down to the wire and a guy who's made all of three three-pointers in his entire NBA career is going to knock down the game-winner.
Of course that's all going to happen because if there's one thing about the predictability of NBA basketball, it's that it's entirely unpredictable.
And why it's a wacky, wacky game.
But a team that had generally played hard with little to show for it finally was rewarded, riding a Sonny Weems three-pointer with less than 10 seconds left to an unlikely 110-106 victory over the Orlando Magic.
And the left feeling pretty good about themselves.
"Look at our bench," said Jarrett Jack, who dished off to Weems for the game-winner. "Everyone was engaged, everyone was cheering for each other and everybody feeling a piece of the win. That's the team we want to be night in and night out."
No one was feeling it more than Weems, who was 1-5 on three-pointers this season going into Friday's game and 2-18 in his two previous NBA seasons combined.
But when the Magic left him alone as Jack ran the deciding play, he calmly stepped into a 22-footer and made it look easy.
"I've never hit a game-winner," said Weems. "That was my first. Never. Never. That was a good one for me."
Coach Jay Triano figured that Weems would be the Raptor most likely open when he drew up the final play. With the Magic unwilling to leave Andrea Bargnani alone and with DeMar DeRozan red-hot in the fourth quarter, the logical guy to look to was Weems.
"[Triano] told me to go get it," said Weems. "Jack made a terrific play. He got three guys to guard him. I was standing there wide open. I knocked down the shot."
Pulling out a win in the final seconds — Jose Calderon's steal of in inbounds pass following Weems' basket sealed it — was in stark contrast to what's gone on this season.
In four of their seven losses, the Raptors had been within four points in the final 30 seconds but had lost each time; Friday was an oddity.
"I think everybody stepped up," said DeRozan, who led Toronto with a career high 26 points. "I think the whole team is just desperate. We really want to prove how good we really are; our record doesn't show it but when we go out there and prove it, it's a whole other story."
With starting forward Linas Kleiza (Achilles' tendon), backup guard Leandro Barbosa (shoulder) and second-string centre David Andersen (flu) not available, the Raptors were limited to nine players. But they got production out of all of them as Bargnani had 28 points after a 21-point first half and Weems had 14.
"Everybody played, everybody used everything they had," said Triano. "They used all their fouls, and we shared the ball and made shots and it was good. Andrea carried us early and then other guys stepped up in the second half.
"This (Orlando) is a good team. It takes a lot to beat good teams, especially in their building and I thought our guys were good."

Rick Miller
Falling Through Rainbows (Unicorn Digital)
Apr. 12, 2010
A man out of time, Canada's Rick Miller has composed, produced, performed and recorded since the early '80s. But his fourth solo CD, Falling Through Rainbows, confirms that his real musical influences come from the '70s. Featuring a fuzzy unicorn on its cover (which looks a tad too much like My Little Pony), this album takes plenty of inspiration from Pink Floyd, the Moody Blues, Peter Gabriel and the Alan Parsons Project—all with a nod to modern prog via subtle Porcupine Tree references.
Miller plays guitar, bass and keys, and his singing voice sounds alternately like Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson and the Alan Parsons Project's recently departed Eric Woolfson. With a handful of guests on percussion, flute, cello and violin, Miller has made a warm and dreamy record that could find a loyal, if not large, audience.

Sectors That Look Due to Rotate
On Wednesday, I wrote about several stocks that are attractive buy candidates for longer-term traders and investors. The stocks I wrote about are far removed from the high-dividend payers that are most favored by many strategists these days. They traverse multiple sectors, from energy and technology to the farm belt and the automotive industry.
While many individual issues look attractive, some industry sectors look frothy and vulnerable to additional downside. Tops on my list are the homebuilders, which have rallied sharply over recent weeks in hopes that a housing recovery is at hand. Unfortunately, the existing-home sales data released on Wednesday showed a huge downward revision to the December estimate, so the level of activity through January was much lighter than the market anticipated....495 more words left in this article.

Contained Places
Groton is a town in northwestern Middlesex County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 10,873 at the 2012 town census. It is home to two prep schools: Groton School, founded in 1884, and Lawrence Academy at Groton, founded in 1792. The historic town was a battlefield in King Philip's War and Queen Anne's War,[1] experienced incidents of insurrection during Shays's Rebellion, and was the birthplace of William Prescott, who commanded the colonial forces at the Battle of Bunker Hill.
The area surrounding modern day Groton has, for thousands of years, been the territory of various cultures of indigenous peoples. They settled along the rivers for fishing and transportation. Historic tribes were Algonquian-speaking Nipmuc and Nashaway Indians.
The Anglo-American Groton started with the trading post of John Tinker, who conducted business there with the Nashaway at the confluence of Nod Brook and the Nashua River. The Nashaway called the area Petapawag, meaning "swampy land." Other pioneers followed the Algonquian trails from Massachusetts Bay, as Tinker had. They found the region productive for fishing and farming.[2]
The town was officially settled and incorporated in 1655, named for Groton in Suffolk, England. Called The Plantation of Groton, it included all of present-day Groton and Ayer, almost all of Pepperell and Shirley, large parts of Dunstable, Littleton, and Tyngsborough plus smaller parts of Harvard and Westford, as well as Nashua, New Hampshire and Hollis, New Hampshire.[2]
During King Philip's War, on March 13, 1676, Indians burned all buildings except for four Groton garrisons. One of those killed was John Nutting, a Selectman at Groton. Survivors fled to Concord and other safe havens, but two years later returned to rebuild.[2] Native Americans attacked the town again during the Raid on Groton in 1694 (King William's War).
In 1704 during Queen Anne's War, a French-Abenaki raid captured three Tarbell children among others, taking them to Kahnewake near Montreal for ransom, which was a thriving business between these opposing colonies. The two younger boys, John and Zachary, were adopted by Mohawk families and became fully assimilated, later marrying into the tribe and becoming chiefs. They were among the founders of Akwesasne, further upriver. Their sister Sarah was ransomed by a French family, converted to Catholicism and joined a Catholic order in Montreal. There are Tarbell-named descendants among Mohawk of Kahnewake in the 21st century.
In 1775, the common in front of the First Parish Church was an assembly area for Minutemen who fought in the Battle of Lexington and Concord.[2]

If you've embarked on the orthodontic journey known as Invisalign, then you've been given a series of clear retainers that will guide your teeth to perfection. But achieving the perfect smile isn't as easy as popping in these retainers. Properly caring for Invisalign retainers is absolutely paramount in order to obtain the best results and avoid costly replacement retainers.

How to Clean an Invisalign Retainer

Caring for an Invisalign retainer is easy and only takes a few minutes. You should get into the habit of cleaning your retainer every time you brush your teeth. In order to properly clean an Invisalign retainer, you will need toothpaste, a toothbrush or retainer brush, and retainer or denture cleaner. Once you've gathered your supplies, it's time to get started.

Rinse the Invisalign retainer under lukewarm water that isn't too hot or too cold.

Apply toothpaste to a soft-bristled toothbrush or retainer brush. Using small, circular motions, gently brush the entire retainer, both inside and out.

Once you have completely brushed the inside and outside of the Invisalign retainer, rinse it again under lukewarm water.

Carefully inspect the retainer for any calcium, or tartar, buildup. Just like your teeth, retainers are susceptible to tartar buildup. It appears as a cloudy, white film on the retainer that is hard to remove with a toothbrush.

If you do notice calcium buildup, soak the retainer in a denture or retainer cleaning solution according to the product's instructions. Invisalign makes the Invisalign Cleaning System that is designed specifically for Invisalign retainers, but any denture or retainer cleansing solution will typically get the job done.

Once you are finished cleaning the Invisalign retainer, you can place it back into your mouth or in a case to dry.

Proper Care Techniques for an Invisalign Retainer

Regular cleansing is only a component of properly caring for your Invisalign retainer. You should clean your retainer every time your brush your teeth. Invisalign retainers can be removed to eat, but any plaque or food particles that are stuck inside the retainer or in your teeth can potentially lead to tooth decay and cause the retainer to smell, so keep it as clean as possible.

Make sure that the cleansing solution you use does not contain any harsh ingredients that could corrode the retainer. It's best to check with your orthodontist and ask for their recommendations. Do not soak your Invisalign retainers in mouthwash. Invisalign retainers are transparent, and because most mouthwashes contain added color, the retainer can absorb the color from the mouthwash, leaving you with a tinted retainer.

It is important to note that because Invisalign retainers are constructed from resin (plastic), you should avoid rinsing them with warm or hot water. Water that is too warm can distort the retainer's shape, causing it to become ill-fitting. If you have used warm or hot water to clean your retainer in the past, bring it to your orthodontist to ensure that it still fits correctly.

When you are instructed to move on to the next set of retainers, it is advisable to thoroughly clean the previous retainer and store it in its case. There are instances where patients are required to wear a previous retainer. Ensuring that it is clean and bacteria-free will eliminate any odor and residue left on the retainer.

Lynette Eason is the best selling, award winning author of the Women of Justice Series and the Deadly Reunions series. Since 2007, she has written/contracted thirty-six books. Currently, she writes for Revell and Harlequin's Love Inspired Suspense line. Her books have appeared on the
CBA and ECPA bestseller lists. She has won several awards including the 2013 Carol Award for WHEN A HEART STOPS. Lynette teaches at writing conferences all over the country. She is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) and Romance Writers of America (RWA). Lynette can be found online at www.lynetteeason.com and www.facebook.com/lynette.eason and @lynetteeason on Twitter.
Lynette, you've published how many novels?
I have six published novels with Revell and six more in the line up. With Love Inspired Suspense, I have fifteen published and seven more to be released. I've also got an e-book short published by Revell that is a SHORT sequel (10,000 words) to the Women of Justice Series. I also did a free e-read for Love Inspired Suspense that released on the harlequin website in July.
How long did it take you to get a full-length fiction contract? 8 years.
Was there a specific 'what if' moment to spark this story that just won the Carol Award?
When A Heart Stops is the second book in the Deadly Reunions series. There wasn't really a "what if" moment. At least not a conscious one. I wanted to write a book about a Medical Examiner and I loved Serena's character from the Women of Justice series so I simply uprooted her, gave her a backstory and planted her in the middle of this series. LOL.
Do you have a full or part time day job?
I have a part-time teaching job. I teach sign language at an online public school.
If so, how do you balance your writing time with family and work?
I don't really balance it…I seem to juggle pretty well, though. LOL. Seriously, no words of wisdom on this one. I just do what I have to do.
Did anything unusual or funny happen while researching or writing this book?
I went to the morgue and was totally grossed out. Found out I do much better with my imagination than I do real life. How funny is that!
Do you consider yourself a visual writer? If so, what visuals do you use? Nope. I don't use visuals. I only look for pictures of what my characters look like when I have to turn in information for the cover of the book. I just see everything in my head.
Are you a plotter, a pantster, or somewhere in between?
I'm definitely in-between. I call myself a PLantser. I write until I need to know what happens next, then I plot, then write some more. With the Love Inspired books, I'm more of a plotter because I have to be. I don't like it, but I do it to sell. Ha.
Have you discovered some secret that has helped your process for writing? No real secrets, just some things that work for me. And what works for me may not work for someone else. J
What are your thoughts on critique partners?
If they're good and don't try to change your voice, then they're a great idea. If they start making the story their own, then you need to ditch them.
Do you ever pound your computer over writer's block? If so, how did you overcome it?
Novelists sometimes dig themselves into a hole with implausible plots, flat characters or a host of other problems. What's the most difficult part of writing for you? The story's TIMELINE! I seriously can't get keep up with what happens when. I've had to really work on this.
What's your strength in writing (characterization, setting as character, description, etc)?
Probably characterization. I get a lot of emails from readers saying how they identify with one character or another.
Where do you write: In a cave, a coffeehouse, or a cozy attic nook?
I work best at a café or somewhere like a Panera or the Barnes & Noble Bookstore café. I don't know why, but I can focus so much better while there. I also work in my office which is in my bedroom. It's a mess.
What's the best writing advice you've heard? Keep writing.
Do you have any parting words of advice?
If you're not yet published, don't despair. Keep working, keep writing, keep learning and keep submitting. I love to hear from my readers. If you'd like to stay in touch, you can sign up for my newsletter (which goes out pretty sporadically, lol) at www.lynetteeason.com (new website coming soon!!) and find me on facebook at www.facebook.com/lynette.eason. Thanks for stopping by Novel Rocket and thank you, Yvonne, for having me visit. J

ONE TO TRUST – releases January 2014
Summer Abernathy wakes up one morning to find her husband missing, three men in her home intent on finding him, and the life she's been living based on a lie. Which Kyle Abernathy did she marry?

Skin Cancer
Three new moles
I have three new moles come up on me within the last six months. First one that come up is between by breast. The other two are on my left arm. I have 4 brown ones on my back that have never changed. And I have several tiny ones all over my neck. Is this something that I need to be concerned about. If you could help me I would be grateful.
I would like to know of any personal and family history of atypical/abnormal moles or melanoma. Are the moles itchy, painful, bleeding? Also, have you had any new symptoms of weight loss, fever, chills, shortness of breath, chest pain, nausea, vomiting, severe headaches, tingling of extremities?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, please have your lesions be evaluated by a dermatologist.

Ross-Ade Stadium (map it)
850 Beering Drive
West Lafayette, IN 47907
Year Opened: 1924
Capacity: 62,500
There are no tickets available at this time.
Ross-Ade Stadium has been bringing crowds to central Indiana to cheer on the Purdue Boilermakers since 1924. Located in West Lafayette, just across the Wabash River from its sister city of Lafayette, Ross-Ade Stadium provides quality Big Ten football in a classic college town. The stadium was originally built into the earth as a three-sided bowl, but expansions over the years have kept this venue very modern. The most recent renovation was completed in 2003 and resulted in a capacity of 62,500. This renovation gave the Ross-Ade Stadium a very imposing 4-level club and press box, which is now the focal point of many fan photos taken at a Purdue game. There has been talk over the last decade of adding upper decks to the east and north sides of the stadium, but these plans are still in the discussion stage.
The FANFARE scale is our metric device for rating each stadium experience. It covers the following:
Each area is rated from 0 to 5 stars with 5 being the best. The overall composite score is the "FANFARE Score".
Ross-Ade Stadium provides mostly classic game-day favorites. Fans can enjoy a cheeseburger or chicken tenders for $6 or a hot dog or bratwurst for $5. The $4 snack selections include a box of popcorn, waffle fries, a soft pretzel, or nachos with cheese. For deluxe classics, there is a $7 pork tenderloin sandwich or an $8 Big Boiler Burger.
Coke products are $4 for a cup, but many fans choose to go with the $8 souvenir bottomless cup, which provides free refills. Later in the football season, the $3 hot chocolate is sure to see a spike in sales as central Indiana is known for its relatively harsh winters. Alcohol is not served or permitted inside the stadium.
Ross-Ade Stadium does provide a few unique items, such as personal cheese or pepperoni pizzas from Marco's Pizza, ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery, and Dippin' Dots. For those in need, there is even a gluten free stand behind Section 111.
The atmosphere surrounding a Purdue football game begins long before the opening kickoff. In a uniquely Purdue fashion, many students hit the bars at 7 am on game-days in a campus tradition known as "Breakfast Club". However, there is one additional detail: they dress up in costumes. This explains why you may see groups of students in crazy outfits, sometimes stumbling, on the walk to Ross-Ade Stadium.
New for the 2013 season is the "211 Session", a pep rally involving the Purdue All-American Marching Band that goes down in Mackey Arena, the home of Boilermaker basketball which is located on the southeast corner of Ross-Ade Stadium. The head coach and football team also pass through this event on their way to their locker room in hope of gaining energy and motivation from the crowd.
Another new moniker for the 2013 season is the nicknaming of Ross-Ade Stadium as "The Furnace". This begins to point to the origin of the "211 Session" name; 211� F is one degree below the boiling point of water and Purdue uses this pep rally as a way to prepare the players and fans for the game to follow in "The Furnace". Appropriately, the "211 Session" takes place 2 hours and 11 minutes before kickoff.
As Ross-Ade Stadium does not have permanent lights, night games are few and far between, and only when a television station provides them for a big game. The Purdue All-American Marching Band keeps fans entertained after almost every play and is fun to watch with their version of the World's Largest Bass Drum. The on-field mascot, "Purdue Pete", keeps up the Boilermaker theme as he parades around the stadium carrying his railroad hammer, urging fans to cheer "Boiler Up" and "Hammer Down". You may also be lucky enough to see the "Boilermaker Special", a replica train locomotive, of which there is a miniature version and an official mascot version, driving around West Lafayette on game day.
Unfortunately, the stadium speaker system is subpar, resulting in the public address announcer being discernible only on the south side of the stadium, as the speakers appear to be near the video board above the south end zone bleachers. Since the seating is all a single-level sloping bowl, no single seat is very far from the game action, even though there are more than 70 rows from the field level to the top of the stadium.
While the area immediately around Ross-Ade Stadium is lacking in food choices, the area known as Chauncey Hill is just over a mile to the southeast of the stadium and is a quintessential college town commercial district. The restaurants in this area can either be visited during your drive to or from the stadium, but since the large campus lies between the bars and stadium, this is a great chance to take a self-guided tour of the Purdue campus. As you enter campus from the north end by the stadium, you will pass the statue of Neil Armstrong, arguably the most famous Purdue alum. Continuing south, you can enjoy the uniform red brick buildings, distinctive bell tower, and fountains that grace the central part of campus.
Chauncey Hill is the area from which Breakfast Club participants will be walking, so when you see the costumes, you know you are in the right place. The local favorites for bars are Harry's Chocolate Shop, Brother's Bar & Grill, and Jake's Roadhouse. These are all located in or near Chauncey Village, found at the top of the hill. Despite the name, Harry's Chocolate Shop does not serve any desserts.
For a non-alcoholic drink, stop in the nearby Discount Den for a Den Pop, a Purdue staple of a 32 ounce fountain drink for only 60 cents. For a more relaxed experience, check out Nine Irish Brothers, a traditional Irish pub down the hill near the levee. There is also a Buffalo Wild Wings for those fans looking to catch other football action before or after a Purdue game. If you are looking for a quicker bite to eat, there is Chipotle, Qdoba, Noodles & Company, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, and School House of Chili. For a sweet treat after the game, check out Insomnia Cookies, which is located on Stadium Avenue and serves fresh-baked cookies in-house until midnight every night.
The in-game atmosphere for marquee games at Ross-Ade Stadium is definitely a rewarding experience. The Ross-Ade Brigade is the nickname for the large student section, which takes up most of the northeast corner of seating, and they are an impressive group. The students stand the whole game and participate in cheers for Purdue first downs, opponent's third and fourth downs, and sing the fight song after Purdue scores.
Before every kickoff, the students take out their keys and jingle them in the air. For those students without keys, the consolation action is to wave up a shoe. This mixture of raised objects is truly a unique sight. Midway through the second half, the song "Shout" comes on over the speakers and the entire student section performs a uniform raising and waving of the arms for several minutes. The fans outside of the student section typically do their part in attending games at Ross-Ade, but the remainder of the stadium is not nearly as vocal in support of their Boilermakers.
After the renovation of 2003, there are plenty of bathrooms to accommodate the fans in Ross-Ade Stadium, assuming you don't try to go at the start of halftime. Season ticket holders park in lots to the north and west of the stadium with parking passes, but visitors almost have a better deal. The large parking garages on the right of both Grant Street (just north of State Street) and Northwestern Avenue (just north of where Route 231 joins Northwestern Avenue) have their exit gates raised on the weekends, which means free parking! These will put you a mile or less from the stadium. If you wish to park closer, families charge various fees to park in the driveways and parking lots on and around Stadium Drive east of Northwestern Avenue.
Fans can get into a game at Ross-Ade Stadium with a $20 end zone bleacher ticket, a price that is hard to beat in a major conference like the Big Ten. Inside the main bowl, tickets range from $25 to $65 for smaller games, and $32 to $75 for bigger games such as Notre Dame or Ohio State. As you really have the ability to pick your price and will experience all the traditions and pride discussed above, attending a Purdue football game at Ross-Ade Stadium is worth the expenses.
One bonus point for the total college atmosphere. From the college bars, to the unique mascots, to the lively student section, even if you don't arrive to West Lafayette wearing Old Gold and Black, Purdue and it's Boilermaker pride will make an impression on you before you leave.
One bonus point for the modernized club and press box, which, even without providing seats for the majority of the fans in the stadium, gives the whole stadium the feel of a big time college football venue. Without this press box, the bowl resembles an early-1900s Ivy League stadium. With it, Ross-Ade Stadium is a dominating and beautiful sight on the Purdue campus.

Fun place
The Boilers have been pretty bad for a while now - but Ross-Ade Stadium is til la very fun place to watch a football game. the fans are very friendly, the setting is pretty and the price is right. of course, getting to West Lafayette is not easy --- but once you're there, it is pretty neat.

It's a perfect early autumn day, as you enter the town of West Lafayette, with the Wabash River running by your side. As you drive past the iconic Harry's Chocolate Shop, you see students dressed in Purdue gear, or odd costumes lined up around the block. It's 9am.
Next you'll drive past the lovely Purdue campus, turning north on University Street, on your way to a parking garage or the tailgating spot of your choice. You just know it is going to be a great day.

Part blues, part old school country, seasoned with pinch of gospel, Dean Phelps combines the rhythmic beat of thumbpick guitar with a soulful vocal style to create a sound reminiscent of performers like Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Doc Watson.
It was a kind of grace note, undeserved.
The Michigan Traveler
He is Reverend Dean Phelps with no apologies, but even though he's a Reverend, he's not very churchy. He's a regular guy with a fun repertoire, relaxed manner, nice picking, and a friendly way of putting a song across.
Dean is one of the nicest, friendliest guys I know, and [he] plays like cool water on a warm summer day.
The picking is of the highest quality, and as for Phelps' vocals, no words of praise can depict how sublime they really are.
If you like your music wrapped around you like a comfortable sweater….that's exactly what you'll find here. It's a rare treat.
If you want to kick back, relax, enjoy toe tapping tunes, soul searching lyrics, gleeful melodies and that overall feeling of 'Oh gosh, I think I am HAPPY right now!' . . . then be sure to spend time with Dean Phelps.
Phelps … has fallen in love with some of America's first authentic music — the folk and gospel from the late 1800s and early 1900s. The haunting melodies and hopeful lyrics seem to bring a positivity that appeals … to audiences as well.
Albums by Dean Phelps
- Smiles (2017): A live album compiled from two appearances on Red Barn Radio.
- Mountain Roads (2016): A seven-song EP with Brian Keith Wallen.
- Picking the Faith (2012): Hymns and gospel songs in the thumbpicking Travis style.
- Give Us a Song (2008): An acoustic tribute to singer-songwriter roots.

Dog survives being impaled in Northland woods
Annette Olson imagined the horrible yelping sounds to be wolves fighting over a fresh deer kill somewhere on her wooded Canosia Township property Wednesday afternoon.
When the yelping persisted, she ran outside to investigate and saw what appeared to be her 4-year-old black Labrador retriever mix, Willow, injured in the woods. Not knowing whether she had been hit by a car or injured some other way, Olson called to the dog. That was a mistake, she said. The dog began walking toward her, and that's when Olson noticed she was impaled on her left side by a branch more than 2 feet long and 1½ inches thick.
"She's coming through the woods and it's writhing and twisting through her all the more," she said.
The branch had gone through the upper part of Willow's abdomen and exited the posterior part, along the muscle layer.
Olson was terrified, she said, but she knew she shouldn't pull it out. She called her veterinarian, who told her to bring the dog in if she could, or he would come to her. She drove her four-wheel-drive vehicle to the bottom of the hill where Willow waited, and knowing the dog liked car rides, used that to get Willow inside, branch and all.
Dr. Mike Shirley of Miller Trunk Veterinary Clinic treated the dog. He has seen a similar situation only once before, with a horse, he said.
"She's a very lucky dog, that it went along the muscle layer and did not angle further," he said. "If that went into the abdomen, you'd have major issues."
Shirley put Willow under anesthesia and made an incision over the branch to remove it. It took more than an hour to clean the wounds and remove tissue, and more than 50 stitches were used to sew up Willow, with drains to remove possible infection.
Getting Willow inside the clinic was probably possible because of her gentle nature, Shirley said.
"This stick was really long," he said. "It was difficult getting her into the car and through the doorway. If you had a dog a little more animated, it would have been hard for it not to do more damage."
Indeed, Willow, an outside dog that comes and goes through a dog door installed in the garage where she has a house, likes to watch the deer feed at night in the yard and doesn't chase them, Olson said.
"She wouldn't hurt a flea," she said.
The recovery period for the active dog, used to having free rein on the 120-acre property with the home set back from the road, is two weeks. That means no running, jumping or swimming in the pond. She must be confined and wear a cone to prevent pulling out the drains.
Shirley said Willow is probably uncomfortable because of the skin loss, but she is on pain medication and antibiotics to fight infection.
"Hopefully, we'll have a fully healed dog," he said.
Olson has no idea what the lab did to get stuck the way she did. The property's many rolling hills might have had something to do with it, she said, if Willow suddenly jumped off a mound onto a branch.
The dog was patient and friendly with visitors Friday.
"It's less than 24 hours later and her tail still wags," Olson said. "She'll be fine."

Scripture… As We Live It #133
This is the 133rd passage in "Scripture… As We Live It."
One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind (except for December 25th, which everyone knows is the most holy day of the year, and everyone must be convinced of this). (Romans 14:5 re-mix)

The early Christians did not celebrate Christ's birth because they considered the celebration of anyone's birth to be a pagan custom.
Not sure how far down I want to go down this path. But it may be good to gain a wider perspective on Christmas and birthdays.
I guess in the spirit of Romans 14:5, it is not for us to judge others on the basis of if they want to celebrate a day or not.
We do "live" many of the scripture far apart from how they are written. I laughed at this one
and here all the time I thought it was Easter! Silly me!

I found on this re-read that there's a bit too much exposition at the start and a very sudden resolution at the end.
I would have preferred to have had the characters show themselves by their actions in the time seven to eight years earlier, rather than having the detailed descriptions at the start.
Granted, that would leave the problem of how to cover the intervening period, but I would rather have a [seven years later] marker that what looks like it could have been a summary of half a book in the first chapter.
Alternatively, I would have like it to start with action, and let the past become apparent through the interactions of the characters, rather than from an omniscient narrator.
And after a very long build-up, the resolution at the end comes very, very quickly.
Still, an enjoyable re-read, even if not my favourite Austen.

Excellent itinerary on a wonderful cruise: Queen Elizabeth Cruise Review by Queenie1603
Overall Member Rating
Excellent itinerary on a wonderful cruise
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Rome (Civitavecchia)
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and were not disappointed. We sailed passed Stromboli and through the Messina straights arriving in Corfu the next day. It was a Sunday but most shops were open. We were surprised to find that cricket is played on Sundays on the large green square. We visited the old fort. Our table mates were German More and Australian and fascinated by Prince Philip's ancestry as he was born on Corfu. Our next port of call was Koter in Montenegro. We were late in arriving due to a massive storm during the night that prevented the ship entering fford like channel. The journey through the fford (actually a Ria) was quite magical and the nearest thing to a Norwegian fford in the Med. Koter is a lovely old walled town with a lot of history. It was a tender port. The sailaway was also excellent as the ship, in the very capable hands of Captain Inger Thorhauge manoeuvred through a very narrow straight back into the Adriatic. Next stop Dubrovnik where we were the only ship in port. We walked around the steep walls (cost 10 euros). Great roof top and sea views. The fresh red roof tiles gives an Inkling about how much damage the city sustained during the Serbo Croat war.
We finished the first leg of our journey with a two day stay in Venice. This is also where our table mates left us. Cunard runs this cruise in 7 day segments with passengers getting on and off at the main cruise terminals at Rome, Venice and Athens so not repeating its ports of call apart from those 3 ports for 28 days. Most passengers seemed to be on for either 7 or 14 days though some on for 21.
Venice was as to be expected. The sail in and sailaway are amazing. We took the hidden Venice walking tour and really enjoyed finding out more about Venice away from the crowds at the Rialto bridge and St Mark's Square. Cunard offered a launch service from the ship to near St Marks for 35 euros each for the 2 days. It is worth checking out the People Carrier and vaporetto water buses as an alternative.
Our first port of call on the second leg of our cruise was Korcula in Crotia. We took the Highlights of Peljesac tour. The journey to Ston gave amazing and vertiginous views across the sea and Dalmation peninsular. We only had a short stop (almost a comfort break) in Ston before we set of for our return journey by the same route. We stopped in the village of Kuna where we visited the church, a donkey farm and were given a tradition snack of cold meats and cheese with wine (not a wine tasting). The trip was disappointing in that we only spent a very short time in Ston - it deserved more time. The village of Kuna was much nearer the ship and could have been a seperate trip. The coach trip is the only time I felt sick in the 14 day holiday!!
Korcula is lovely and we wished we had not bothered with the trip.
Our next port of call was Crete. We regularly holiday in Crete but have never visited the Museum in Heraklion that contains the artefacts from Knossos. What a wonderful experience and an easy walk from the ship. Other shipmates took the hop on hop off bus just outside the cruise terminal and said it was really good value.
Rhodes followed and we visited the old town which is easily accessible from the ship. Lovely place and one to spend more time in in the future.
Ephesus from Kusadasi, we took the Ephesus and Terrace Houses trip and was glad we did. Excellent guide. The Terrace Houses are amazing. Ephesus is busy so it is worth getting there early. We were the only cruise ship in in the morning but the day before there had been 3. Unless you are particularly interested in Turkish carpets suggest you avoid the optional visit. It's interesting but there is a danger you will leave with a rug!!
Disembarked at Athens. As on fly cruise we did not leave ship until 2 pm though had to clear cabin by 8.30. We could have gone on tour or of ship but just chilled out till we left.
Regarding the ship. We enjoyed the cruise so much we have booked for next year to do the trip from Istanbul to Rome tho next time in Queen Vic. All the staff we met were pleasant and very hard working. The cruise director excellent, the shows very good and the food in the Grills very good and in the Verandah restaurant fantastic.
Next time we will cancel automatic gratuities and go back to the system of tipping personally.
My personal tip is to take your own travel kettle and tea and coffee for an early morning brew. It is something that P and O get so right and Cunard should emulate. Room service coffee and tea do not match a fresh brew. Less

Cabin review: 5097
Very good cabin with shower over bath and amenities. Lots of hanging space and safe big enough for all our equipment including iPad.Very comfortable bed and pillow (pillow menu if you want). Would have liked a bit more draw space.Fridge stocked but only used for our own 'brought on' drinks. Bottle of fresh water and fruit every day.Large sofa that coverts into a bed. Cool place to sit when required.Two flat screen TVs. Only problem was that when turning one of the other would come on as remote range controlled both. Balcony quite narrow so don't invite anyone back for a drink on the balcony unless travelling alone and remember your neighbours will hear your conversations.Cabin in mid ships near the lifts and not far from the launderette. Very little noise. Would certainly stay in same cabin again.

Headphones are devices that allow people to listen to audio without disturbing people nearby. They go in or over the ears so sound travels into people's ears instead of the space around them. There are several types of headphones for different uses. Some are for personal entertainment. Others can be for professional or personal use.
Ear Bud Headphones
Ear buds are small headphones that fit inside the ears. They typically have no headband, so are less bulky than other headphone types. They are also less noticeable. Some ear buds have only one speaker. These are convenient for hands-free phone use or for when people need to be able to hear the speaker as well as their surroundings.
Circumaural Headphones
Circumaural headphones have two speakers and a headband that connects them. These headphones have cup-like padding that goes around the entire ear. This allows for maximum sound quality and background noise reduction. They are otherwise known as full-size headphones because they are larger than most other headphone types.
Supra-Aural Headphones
Supra-aural headphones are similar to circumaural headphones, but they do not cup the entire ear. The padding rests on the outside of the ear. They do not allow for optimal sound like circumaural headphones, but they are less cumbersome.
Headset Headphones
Headset headphones are headphones that have built-in microphones. They may have one or two speakers and attach to the ear with clips or headbands, which may go behind the neck. Headsets have many personal uses, including video chat, hands-free telephone use and Internet gaming. They also have many professional uses, such as military communications, pilot communications and secretarial use.
Wireless Headphones
Wireless headphones and headsets do not need to plug into devices to which the user listens. Common uses for these headphones and headsets are gaming and cell phones. The headphones or headsets receive signals that allow them to transmit audio without wired connections.
Clip on Headphones
Clip on headphones have no band holding them in place. Instead, they have hooked clips that go over the back of the ear. This allows freedom of movement. They may have one or two speakers.
Sports Headphones
Sports headphones have bands that go around the back of the head or rest near the neck. This makes them more comfortable for use while playing sports. They may have added comfort and stability accessories, such as ear clips or on-ear speakers.

The Purpose of Life Comparison Essay by Quality Writers
The Purpose of Life
An analysis of the views of various ancient philosophers and authors on the purpose of life.

This paper discusses how philosophers and writers throughout the ancient world pondered the meaning and purpose of life, and wrote works such as "The Epic of Gilgamesh", "Allegory of the Cave", and the "Apology of Socrates" in order to express their philosophical beliefs about human existence. Mores specifically, the paper looks at how the unknown Sumerian author of the "Epic of Gilgamesh" defined the purpose of life as a heroic but doomed pursuit of glory and immortality. In contrast, it shows how the ancient Greek philosopher Plato defined the purpose of life in "Allegory" and "Apology" as the pursuit of 'being' virtuous.
From the Paper:"The Epic of Gilgamesh (2007) examines the purpose of life from an ancient Sumerian perspective but complements many of the themes of Plato's Apology and Allegory. The anonymous author tells the story of King Gilgamesh of Uruk, who was punished by the Sumerian gods for oppressing his people. Gilgamesh rules harshly over Uruk and burdens his people with immense construction projects he thinks will glorify his kingship. The walls and temples he commands to be raised are intended to win him lasting fame, but his hubris infuriates the gods, who create Enkidu in order to teach him lessons he must learn. Along with Enkidu, Gilgamesh embarks on adventures but is still defiant of the gods. "

TRINITY — Gulf seemed like the perfect homecoming opponent for Mitchell.
After all, the Bucs had been outscored 134-19 in the past three weeks and Mitchell was facing a daunting Class 3A, District 7 schedule in the coming weeks.
But the Mustangs' playoff hopes were all but dashed Friday as the Buccaneers held the Mustangs to minus-32 yards rushing in a surprising 24-10 victory.
"They were a man down without (running back Ricky Trinidad)," Gulf coach Ken Hollar said. "Without him it hurts and when he went down it was hard. It's a huge win but (Mitchell) played hard."
A few weeks ago it seemed like Mitchell's run would end after Trinidad's season-ending knee injury. Friday night just made Mitchell's chances escaping 3A-7 a lot tougher, with an upcoming stretch of games vs. unbeaten Sunlake, Pasco and Land O'Lakes.
Mitchell (5-2, 3-1) jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the second quarter after knocking Gulf quarterback Will Fulmer out of the game with a knee injury. The Buccaneers (4-3, 1-3) answered on a Kris Aratchiysky (17 carries, 194 yards) 20-yard touchdown run with 7:35 left in the second.
Gulf took a 12-10 lead in the third quarter on a 4-yard touchdown run by T.J. Blount (11 carries, 56 yards).
From there Gulf's defense stifled Mitchell, picking off Mustangs quarterback Matt Michaels (11-of-23, 138 yards) three times and sacking him four times. Michaels was injured late in the fourth quarter and did not return. The Mustangs were outgained 353-106 in total yardage.
"We got it in the locker room from coach at halftime," Gulf quarterback Ty'Shon Peters said. "We expected to win this game easy. We came out in the second half wanting to get this win for (Will Fulmer)."
