Then I noticed the guy who came into the coffee shop panting, a backpack slung over his gray sweatshirt that was ripped at the shoulder and soaked, his pants tattered at the cuff. He grabbed the free water, sweat dripping from his forehead, and hunched over just a bit…obviously overheated. I watched him out of the corner of my eye. He downed the water, filled his cup again, and set his backpack by the computer, telling the barrista he'd order something…but in a bit. I wondered…who is this guy? What's his story?
He looked out of place in a yuppy coffee shop, but ordered a frozen drink. Was he homeless? I didn't think a homeless person would spend $5 on a drink. Down on his luck? Maybe. Running from an axe murderer? Probably not. So why was he there? Where had he just come from? And why was he wearing a sweat shirt on a 100 degree day?
This is the second time in two weeks in two different coffee shops that I've witnessed an out of place, larger-than-real-life character that made me stop and ask, "What's his story?"
In "Writing the Break Out Novel," Donald Maass talks about larger-than-life character qualities. He says, "A larger-than-life character is someone who says, does, and thinks things that we would like to but never dare. This does not necessarily mean turning your characters into wise-crackers or pulp clichés. It does mean pushing them out of their own bounds, whatever those might be."
It also means putting them in out of the ordinary situations.
Those are the kind of characters and stories people like to read about and those are the characters we need to write. The affectionate couple in the corner were ordinary. I gave them a once over, then moved on.
I. Moved. On.
To something more interesting. Someone more interesting.
How do you create larger-than-life characters so your readers can't move on, but are compelled to ask "What's his story?"

State health officials and hospital representatives are trying to agree on who should operate Florida's trauma centers.
Long established trauma centers are trying to stop new ones from opening. Currently Blake Trauma Center in Bradenton is being challenged by Tampa Hospital.
The Department of Health invited both sides to begin negotiating over a new rule that would control placement of trauma centers across the state. Once the rule is revised, there will be another round of public comment.

Episode 6, Friday 10 June 2011
It is usually the fairer sex, who outshine men in the fashion stakes, but this week Adrian shows us that this is not necessarily so. The National Gallery of Victoria has staged the first exhibition in Australia to focus on men's fashion, and it dispels the myth that men are typically conservative, boring dressers. ManStyle suggests that men can choose their method to impress with either the dapper lines of the dandy or the flamboyant flourishes of the peacock.
Peacockery is a good strategy for rebels and rule-breakers, who like to dress for attention, and these fashion leaders are the ones that forge ahead to create trends and changes. Carnaby Street in London in the swinging 60s was at the centre of it all and Adrian shows us his favourite suit in the exhibition. In the 1970s, also in London, Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren were rebels leading the charge, but what they created was not always sensible! Popular figures like the Beatles and high profile fashion designers also used shock tactics to question men's attitudes to conservative dress sense.
The suit is the natural habitat for the dandy, and Adrian shows us that the history of this successful form of menswear was really introduced as a reaction to the extravagant dress in the court of Charles ll and to a give a sense of restraint to men's attire. Until 1860 the three elements of a suit were rarely made out of the same material because fabric and decoration was still an important aspect of stylish dress. It wasn't until after this time that the standardized look that we recognise today began to take shape. It has been a very successful fashion invention that has been adapted through the decades in conservative as well as outrageous ways.
Collectors has taken advantage of many wonderful displays at the NGV over the years and this exhibition coincides with the 150th birthday of the Gallery. To add to this celebration Claudia and Gordon are joined on the big red couch by the director of the NGV, Gerard Vaughan to reflect on the history of this eminent collecting institution. Founded in 1861, the Waterwall and the Leonard French ceiling are now recognised icons of the St. Kilda Road building designed by Sir Roy Grounds in the 1960s. The NGV's birthday was on May 24th but the celebrations are going on for the rest of the year. It is certainly a collection worth toasting to!
Exhibition dates:
NGV International, St Kilda Road 11 Mar – 30 Oct 2011
The Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia 11 Mar – 27 Nov 2011

Giveaway :: Mink Letterpress
{shop :: Facebook :: Instagram :: Twitter :: blog}
December is when I start thinking about one of my favorite traditions of the season: setting up my new calendar! For years, I have looked forward to my new calendar and I have even been known to have a few going on at once. I generally have one family calendar kept in the kitchen for everyone to consult, a day planner where I generally keep my life, and a pretty calendar that makes me feel as though my life is one of luxury and ease. All have their function. All have their form.
Nicole Lissenden creates stunning letterpress under her banner, Mink Letterpress. From custom invitations to stunning cards, Lissenden is a true artist whose works speaks of depth and heart and beauty. But let's get to the calendar, shall we? Mink Letterpress' 2015 Quilt Calendar is at the top of my list for my new decorative calendar. Each gorgeously designed month becomes a piece of the "quilt" you can later frame and hang (either all together or separate, you choose.) December is a joyous month, indeed. Mink Letterpress can carry you through.
Mink Letterpress is giving away three (3!) 2015 Letterpress Quilt Calendars to three lucky winners (one each)! To enter to win, please answer the following question no later than Tuesday, December 9th.
Please visit Mink Letterpress and tell us: How do you prepare for the New Year? (Or do you just let it happen all on its own?)
Start checking the winner's box on Tuesday, December 16th, to see if you've won!
I don't prepare for the New Year. I wish I could say I try to finish everything from the current year so I can start fresh next year, but that never happens. By the time that week between Christmas and New Year rolls around, I'm so tired that all I want to do is rest and relax.
i try to tidy up my surroundings and get my paperwork in order. emphasis on the word try. 😉
I always think I should prepare for the new year by clearing out some of the unnecessary stuff saved up throughout the year in my office area, but I never actually do it until like February.
I also usually "prepare" myself to start a diet in January by eating extra of all the stuff I will deny myself come the first, then a couple days into the new year I give up on the diet and those "preparations" were all for naught!
OMG I looooove Letterpress! Beautiful calendars!!
OK, so New Year's is such a double-edged sword because I always feel funny "doing something" because I'm supposed to be "doing something." Then again, you don't want let a new year catch you unprepared!
I'm the most at ease welcoming a new year by letting go of stress; gathering at the home of someone close to me with a small group of friends; and sending it all off with wine, good food, fireplace, s'mores and music. It's so intimate and so meaningful–which is what the end and beginning of something so big really should be.
I really do just let it all happen. I don't see any point in having a resolution each year when life is such a great balancing act and I'm always trying to improve!
I sort of treat it like any other day of the year. Winter just doesn't feel like the time of year for resolutions and renewal to me. I save that kind of stuff for the spring. 🙂
I usually spend a little time reflecting on the successes and failures of the past year and make plans accordingly. I set two or three small goals for myself: meet new people, get involved with one charity, give myself a break from performance anxiety at least once. With that in mind, I let whatever comes come.
I also try not to get food poisoning from New Years' Eve parties, which was the first resolution I broke this year.
I try to pay all my bills before the beginning of the New Year. It makes me feel like I am starting fresh.
I can't really say I 'prepare' for the New Year. I try to set goals or improve on things throughout the year instead of telling myself I can only set goals at the beginning of the year.
I do have some traditions with my husband: I made a memory jar and we scribble things down on little pieces of paper over the year. At the end of the year/new years day, we open the jar and read all of our memories. Then the jar is empty and ready to fill with new memories! I also like to have a traditional New Years meal 🙂 We love food around here, so any reason to celebrate is a good one!
i don't really "prepare" for the new year; it's really just like any other day if you think about it, other than it being a public holiday and well, a new calendar year. normally i try to set some goals and things that i am trusting God for in the new year but that tends to happen after the new year has begun, not before.
i think the better part of "preparing" for the new year is on new year's eve when we look back on the year that has past: as a family i like to just count my blessings and also remember the problems we have had but more importantly see how God has brought us through these problems. hurts and grief fade into memories we can smile about or look back at fondly.
just wanted to share how we spent our new year's eve last year: i was preparing for my study abroad programme in santa cruz (during winter quarter) and my whole family had come with me to the usa (we're from singapore) for a few weeks of travelling before hand. we spent new year's eve walking across the golden gate bridge during sunset, and as we walked we just gave short prayers under our breaths. for me it was all very exciting because i was embarking on my one quarter in the states, yet it was very different being only with my family and no one else, no classmates or friends (disclaimer: i do love my family very much and am super close to them!), and after that we went for dinner and chilled in our hotel room, talking with each other about 2013 and what we looked forward to in 2014. it was just a lovely, quiet way to ring in the new year, and one of the best ways we've "prepared". i'd love to do it again, and it doesn't have to be outside of singapore this time 🙂
There really isn't too much preparation for the New Year for me. I usually day dream and "what if" for a while but in the end, it goes how it goes.
I prepare for the new year by making a list of what I want to accomplish including professional, creative, bucket-list, personal and health goals. I spend as much time as I can with family and friends during the holidays because life is short and time with loved ones is a top priority. Then I see where the new year takes me!
I enter birthdays in my day planner and start a new journal (even if I'm not done with the one prior). I love to start anew and filling in those blank pages brings me great joy. I tell myself that every day is a new adventure and a new year is positively bursting with possibility!
Woah. These calendars are outrageously beautiful. My mother, a quilter and bookmaker, would freak out if she saw this. FREAK out.
I find this question hard to answer because there are so many "new years" that happen all the time! There's the calendar new year, the school new year (I'm a teacher), the financial new year, cultural new years that I celebrate (Chinese New Year and spring festival), and religious new years' celebrations like Rosh Hashanah in the fall. (The start of the Christian calendar JUST happened this week, as a matter of fact.) In short, I feel like there's ALWAYS a "new year" happening. With all that in mind, I guess what I do is…celebrate. I think life and death are ALWAYS changing hands, so I try to I witness what has come and what is coming. What I have done and failed to do. And I try to make it a part of every passing day – not just Jan. 1. I think, for me, the idea of the New Year (any new year!) is to remember with thankfulness, to honor with friends and family our sadnesses and struggles, and to together hope and believe in sweetness ahead. I hope that that is something I practice in my daily life too. So, I suppose you could say, I get ready by living my life trying to honor newness at every turn.
New Year's has changed for me since I became a mom. Now, I mainly prepare to try to get to bed early. Just kidding. (Sort of.) I know that this is a precious, important time in my life, but it's just so hard with little kids to look out ahead. I'm always coping and not really able to "plan." I'm not trying to complain – I LOVE being a mom.
This question is inspiring me. Before the New Year comes I'm going to set aside some time to write letters to my children in the future – to record some of these special moments that I have now. I see SO much in them, and I want my beautiful babies to know how much they were loved and seen. I want them to have a strong sense of who they are and were. YESSSSSS. That is what I'm doing. Thanks for your help! 🙂
I don't prepare for the New Year, I like to let it happen. However, I take the time to reflect on the year behind me with all of its ups and downs and appreciate all of the things I've accomplished – then I make some new goals, some simple, some quite large. With my pajamas on, I ring in the new year, toast to a new year with some champagne, and fall asleep with nothing but wishes and goals for a prosperous New Year.
I prepare for the new year by cleaning my house so that I have a nice place to snuggle into that evening and prepare for a champagne toast with my husband. We also love to go out to a nice dinner together at a really nice little restaurant in our neighborhood and reflect back on the last year and discuss our plans for the upcoming one!
I always get the itch to take on big projects and clean All The Things once January rolls around. I think it's because I'm still on a high from Christmas prep and need something else to focus my attention on. I usually end up petering out about halfway through things because I've just expended SO much energy on the holidays. This year I plan to intentionally take it easy in January and see what motivates and moves me instead. A little mental break from all of the rush-rush seems appropriate.
I like to reflect on my year and what I hope to accomplish on January 1. It's therapeutic to review my year and what happened.
We are in a constant battle against mess in my house, and we are just two adults (allegedly…) with no kids or pets….oops. So I try to start the new year by getting the place clean, purging some of our stuff we haven't used in forever, and hanging up more art!
I adore the quilt calendar! It reminded me of these last few notecards I have with photos of quilts that I've been hoarding for something like ten years. Every time I write a thank you note I think of using them, but I just can't part with the pretty pictures. I think this year I'll share the wealth and send a quilt card to someone who will appreciate it! 🙂
About the new year, I usually try to prepare in my own way by not making the last two weeks of December a no-holds-barred sugar fest. I still eat a lot of chocolate and sweets, but try to remember that the less I go overboard the easier it will be to keep my health resolutions after January 1st. We'll see how I do this time. 🙂
I also prepare by planning a New Year's Eve dinner party for a small group of friends so I can save us all from the stress of finding something to do in NY, since it can be really overpriced. It's a great way to start the new year: with less stress and a room full of food and love!
Every year I write my new Year's resolutions in my journal and throughout the year I note how I'm doing on them. Each December, I reevaluate the year and come up with new resolutions. I am NEVER this organized in my life, but for some reason, I'm all about my resolutions!

I found this fun tie-dye t-shirt craft on the Martha Stewart Show when Nana and I watched the Purple Party show featuring Lilac baker's twine from The Twinery. Talk about an over-the-top birthday party...wowsa! It was so very cool to see a company that I support, and absolutely adore, being used by Martha and the crew. Here are all my projects using The Twinery baker's twine. I'll be getting my shipment of the 4 new colors very soon and can't wait to begin creating fun new projects.
Luckily, I have a rainbow collection of Sharpie markers so just needed to snag the alcohol that Gordon took out to the garage for one of his projects, a dropper I recycled from the bottle of some of my magic wrinkle reducer and some cardboard and cookie sheets. You can go here for the full tutorial.
Yes, that's "just had a swim and haven't taken a bath yet" hair on Victoria and the "I don't feel good today, therefore I don't really want to smile" smile on Isabella. She didn't even go to Nana's house today. That's how not good she felt. Yes, you caught us, those are also jammie bottoms on both of them at 4:30 in the afternoon.
Hope you have fun with your kidlets making some tie-dye t-shirts, too!

Collins earns new deal
By Simon Fudge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Sunderland have signed central defender Neill Collins to a new contract.Sunderland have signed central defender Neill Collins to a new contract at The Stadium of Light.
The 20-year-old moved to The Black Cats in a £25,000 move from Scottish Second Division side Dumbarton in the summer and initially penned a two-year contract with the North East outfit.
However, Collins's impressive displays for the Championship side have earned him a new deal until June 2007.
His progress has been impressive, considering he had been playing part-time football with The Sons last season.
"Neill has done really well since arriving at the start of the season and we wanted to extend his deal to reward him," manager Mick McCarthy told the club's official website.
"He has a bright future at Sunderland and I'm pleased we have been able to secure his services for the next three years."

Following Aurelian's conquest of the Palmyrene Empire, he survived his assassination of 275, the line of people after him were known as the "Great Generations" that failed to keep the Empire united. The Visigoths and Vandals quickly overthrew the last emperor. Christianity had overshadowed Europe and the Middle East, as the Empire of Egypt succeeds Rome. The Germanic people have been inspired by the Great Generations, the alternate world will see a shine in enlightment.

Lesson Learned the hard way!
Alrighty.... I came into the office this morning to hear that the front desk computer is not working and has locked up.
Short story long... I arrived at the desk to hear the receptionist state that this computer needs to be replaced and it is dead.
I see the computer is on and is sitting at the login prompt but she can't login. I ask her if I can drive and I give the system the three finger salute and nothing! I move the mouse and nothing!
So I begin my troubleshooting steps by swapping out the keyboard and mouse with known working input devices and still nothing. So I power it down hard because nothing is responding to input. I disconnect all of the extraneous devices and boot the system. I hit the f12 for dell's boot menu and I noticed that the system is responding to input from the keyboard. So I ctrl+alt+del and try booting into safe mode and still no joy!
So I reboot to the dell system disk and try to repair the startup= no joy!
I ran the system restore to a point three days ago= no joy!
Completely perplexed at this point I RDP'ed into the system, at which time I received the dialog that the system restore was successful. So I noticed that the BIOS was three revisions older than the current so I downloaded and installed the latest BIOS, rebooted again and still no joy!
RDP'ed into it again, ran msconfig and turned off everything booted again and nothing. I again RDP'ed, and began looking through the event viewer and noticed that there was a disk error and it was complaining about bad blocks so I ran the check disk and it stated that it found and repaired the bad blocks in particular the block that held the Usbhub.sys file, I booted into windows and NO JOY!
RDP'ed into it again and I ran the SFC /SCANNOW and it reported that there were system files that it couldn't repair and pointed me to the log file. I skimmed the log and noticed that it was complaining about the Intel driver so I download the latest chipset driver from the dell site and installed it...
Booted again and BAMM! Baby! I was in like flynn... errrra?? I mean it was working as expected!!
Thank goodness this didn't happen on a Monday!!

Holy crap... You went a lot further than I would have before formatting the bugger. Kudos for finding the fix!
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:38 UTC
Always nice to see that persistence can pay off. I have to ask though, how long did you spend (real time) working on it?
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:38 UTC
I probably would have given up by then and just re-imaged it. But I'm lazy. Lol
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:42 UTC
I am going home before this happens to me!
Nice job on the fix.
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:44 UTC
I would have stopped at " there was a disk error and it was complaining about bad blocks"...
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:44 UTC
way to stick to it until you found the problem.
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:46 UTC
Nice work!! I have to agree that it's better that it happened on a Friday.
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:47 UTC
the hotter the receptionist, the harder you work the problem. so i'm guessing she's hot?
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:48 UTC
I am confused. The computer would not respond to keyboard and mouse strokes but would respond perfectly fine via RDP? And the fix for it was to install video drivers?
What kind of f'ed up problem was you dealing with?

Chipset driver =/= video card driver. Also, usbhub.sys was having issues... So much for skimming!
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:55 UTC
Yeah, that's too much work on a Friday. You making the rest of us look bad!
Oct 14, 2011 at 1:59 UTC
If it were me, I would have gone home immediately after I fixed the problem, cause you did enough troubleshooting for the whole rest fo the day. : ) Great work!
Oct 14, 2011 at 2:15 UTC
Wow. What kind of chipset issue rears it's head years into production? Or maybe that's what got messed up in the system files?

Oct 14, 2011 at 3:23 UTC
I'm just glad today hasn't been as crazy as the rest of the week. Goin' home in an hour. :)

Firday is a perfect day for this type of stuff. The weekend is for burying your head in after a weeks crap! Oh Oh... Mondays coming...
Oct 16, 2011 at 9:08 UTC
Fun stuff!
Would have forced power off, F8 to "Last Know Good", and (if needed) System Restore to a previous checkpoint.
Updates & deeper look could be done at a later time (via RDP, etc).
But, that is me...
Oct 16, 2011 at 9:18 UTC
Don't you just hate those days. Congrats on getting it sorted out.

Glad I'm not the only one that will try and fix it to the bitter end before just reimaging. By now of course I've had enough experience to be able to tell within the first 10 or so minutes whether my attempts will be in vain and it's time to replace.

Industry Research : Philippines Tech Industries Survive Floods
To the west of the Philippines' capital, Manila, lies Laguna De Bay, a colossal freshwater lake that has just become the site of what can loosely be called maritime services startups.
The new businesses sprung up weeks ago after the annual monsoon hit the Philippines harder than usual. The lake filled, then spilled into surrounding suburbs.
Why are we mentioning this in The Register? The answer is that The Philippines is becoming a technology hub. Business process outsourcing (BPO) firms providing outsourced tech support services for the likes of Microsoft have well and truly discovered the nation.
One lure is the fact that the large English-speaking population has an accent more palatable to western ears than Indians'. Low wages are another attraction for business, especially technology manufacturers such as Foxconn, which is eyeing off a local plant.
Many of those low-waged workers reside near the shores of Laguna De Bay, says Chris Moriarty, an Australian (and former technology journalist) who now runs a BPO in Manila. Flat Planet, as his company is called, employs 43 Filipinos who, thanks to the wonders of modern telephony, have Australian phone numbers and jobs as software developers, accountants and other roles.
When the floods hit Manila, Moriarty didn't have a problem. Flat Planet's offices are in Makati City, a business district 15 metres above sea level. The company's offices have triply-redundant optic fibre links to the rest of the world, and they all stayed up all the way through the floods. One outage turned out to be a software glitch, rather than anything to do with local telcos.
"What hurt us was attendance rates," Moriarty explains, as some staff were cut off from the office as the already-torturous commutes most Manilans face became impossible to navigate. Some telecommuted, but Moriarty says "You cannot telecommute when your house is under water. Some of our staff were wiped out."
Flat Planet hired a four wheel drive, and driver, and did the rounds of staff's homes. The company then rented several hotel rooms to house staff, to keep the business running and help families to cope.
Moriarty wasn't alone in that effort as the Business Processing Association of the Philippines donated what he called "a bucket of money and aid packages to 1400 families." The Philippines Army provided logistics to distribute the aid, and Moriarty says they then "put me in a six wheeler, gave me a few boys with machine guns and drove to the deep flood areas."
"There are still people living there," he said. "The flood will stay for two months because it takes a long time for the lake to drain."
Which is where the maritime services startups come in.
"Kids have made boats with tyres and bits of wood, they ferry people around who don't want to get their feet wet. There's a whole economy that has sprung to life out there. It's like a scene from Waterworld."
But Moriarty says those scenes aren't typical of the Philippines.
'All this stuff you see on TV of people in rice paddies is not what the country is about. There are people in the provinces living like that, but there is a whole side the rest of the world does not see. There is a bright, energetic, cosmopolitan middle class."
"People here might earn $600 a month but they all have smartphones. Being connected to the world is a really absolutely vital thing for Filipino people." It will likely become more so, as the 60% of the population 100-million strong population is under 15 years of age. There are also graduates a-plenty: Moriarty says the nation is producing them at a rate of 600,000 a year.
He therefore feels the nation is poised to play a larger role in the wider world, and the technology industries. "There are 630,000 BPO jobs here now and 400,000 of those are in voice. The other 230,000 do everything else."
The government has awoken to the potential of tech jobs to fuel the economy, calling it out in an Investment Priorities Plan. Officials rushed to point out that BPOs and manufacturing, which tends to be located outside Manila to avoid its horror traffic, were not disrupted by the floods. Officials are still sending out re-assuring messages, as shown by the Mayor of Makati taking pains to point out that BPOs face no risks in the city.
Moriarty says another reason to promote the industry is as an alternative to the guest worker jobs millions of Filipinos perform across Asia.
"Imagine being a Filipino maid in Saudi Arabia," he says. "BPO has a humanitarian as well as an economic benefit."

On the heels of freshman The Mindy Project getting a pickup for two more episodes, bringing its first season order to 24 episodes, Fox has done the same with its two returning live-action comedies: New Girl and Raising Hope. With struggling newcomer Ben And Kate's order at 19 episodes vs. 24 for the rest of Fox's Tuesday comedies, it is clear Fox plans to sub Ben And Kate with The Goodwin Games in midseason.
Fox's 'New Girl' & 'Raising Hope' Get Orders For Two Extra Episodes
8 Comments
that's 2 more episodes of Mindy that nobody will watch.
exactly. they should at least give Ben and Kate a chance because it is already a much better show.
New Girl has improved a lot since its pilot. The show's greatest asset is its enormously likeable and talented cast. It has the potential to become a HIMYM-type long-running hit. But the show's writing still needs significant improvement; even the show's best episodes are misshapen, sloppy and sophomoric, as if everyone behind the camera is learning on the job. It's not a bad show, but it could and should be so much better.
Agree that the cast is really good and the writing really, really bad on this show. I've read some of Liz Meriwether's feature stuff and been impressed, not sure why the plots of her TV show are so sloppy and slow…
In my house we try to watch New Girl every week, but almost never make it to the end of an episode.
What's HIMYM? And "misshapen, sloppy and sophomoric" is pretty harsh in my opinion. That's something I would describe something like The Inbetweeners, not New Girl.
Same with RH, I guess.
Not EVERYONE behind the camera.
"With struggling newcomer Ben And Kate's order at 19 episodes vs. 24 for the rest of Fox's Tuesday comedies, it is clear Fox plans to sub Ben And Kate with The Goodwin Games in midseason."
That one was obvious, "The Goodwin Games" had been slated for midseason from the get go and Tuesday is the only night this TV season that Fox has scheduled any live-action sitcoms on its schedule. You wouldn't give one sitcom a shorter order of additional episodes than the other three in that situation if you weren't planning on slotting another show for the midseason lineup on that night.

ECURIE ECOSSE, sponsored by John Clark Motor Group drivers Sandy Mitchell and Ciaran Haggerty stormed to their second GT4 win in the British GT Championship and the win at Donington was only achieved after a Herculean, near one-handed effort by Haggerty.
Having started the two-hour race from second on the grid in in their McLaren 570S GT4, Mitchell immediately took the lead into the first right-hander and set about establishing a lead, but the appearance of the safety car bunched the field up once again.
On the restart, the 16-year-old from Forfar near Dundee quickly re-established an advantage, and in the process set the fastest GT4 lap of the race with a 1min 37.410secs.
After his 60-minute stint, Mitchell — who became the youngest-ever winner in the British GT Championship last time out at Snetterton — handed the car over to Haggerty with a five-second lead.
The 20-year-old from Johnstone, who earlier in the week damaged his right hand in a work-related accident, arrived at Donington with his right hand and forearm bandaged.
Overcoming the pain, Haggerty then increased the advantage to 10s and the young duo took their second win of the season, in the process clinching third place in the British GT4 Championship and second in the Silver Cup.
The flying Scot though had to be helped from his McLaren at the end of the race before being taken to the circuit's medical centre because he couldn't move his left shoulder and arm.
"The problem was caused by the extra load I had to put on my left shoulder, basically because I wasn't able to use the right hand as much as I usually would during the race," Haggerty, clearly in severe pain, explained.
"The muscles in my shoulders cramped up and I couldn't hold my arm up. I had to have a massage and antibiotics, then go to the medical centre, get some treatment and a sling to support it.
"Strangely, my other hand, which I cut on Wednesday, is ok, but I basically drove most of the race almost one-handed. I'm really happy to get the win. "I'm just so pleased I was able to hold on and bring the car home for our second win in the British GT Championship. Nothing was going to stop me climbing on to the top step of the podium with Sandy."
Team-mate Mitchell was quick to praise the courage of Haggerty.
"I'm not sure I could have gone through the pain barrier the way Ciaran did, but I'm so pleased he did because it guaranteed our second win of the season," Mitchell said.
"I'm really happy with the victory. Having wins at the last two circuits, Snetterton and Donington, has been incredible. And to snatch third overall in the championship by nine-and-a-half points, and second in the Silver Cup after all the bad luck we had early on, is fantastic."
The young guns' achievements were praised by Black Bull Ecurie Ecosse team principal Hugh McCaig, who also saw his McLaren 650S GT3 car win the main race.
"These lads have been so laid back all season it's unbelievable, but that shouldn't disguise the raw talent they have and the hard work they've put in throughout the season," he said.
"The performances they delivered both here and at Snetterton last time out merely confirm what we've always know, that they are two of the most talented young drivers in Britain."

About the Book
Taste of Morning Dew introduces a baby cottontail bunny, Gustafson, who has a problem with sleep walking. He awakens one morning to discover he is outside of his burrow, misplaced, alone, and lost. Innocently, Gus asks every creature he meets if they know the way home. Despite his youth, he is aware there are some dangerous animals lurking about, yet he knows little else of these beasts. Gus's adventures acquaint us with life outside his burrow, where he discovers some of the forest creatures are helpful; most are indifferent. Ultimately it is an exhausted fox that points the way home.
Adventure stimulates excitement in the second tale of this series, entitled Clover. Gus encourages his sister, Clover, to join him in new escapades. The two small bunnies anxiously await Saturdays, the time when they can venture out to encounter various animals of the forest. This stimulating tale, as seen through the eyes of the young bunnies, allows for plenty of excitement and discovery for the reader as well. These are compelling, fanciful stories for adventure seeking children, to be experienced alongside Gus and Clover.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have passed any particular graded dance exams in order to audition for the course?
London Studio Centre does not request applicants to have reached a particular grade in syllabus work; however, prior experience is essential as all auditions consist of one-hour classes in ballet, contemporary and jazz. Please ensure, when completing the form, to fill in the table in section C even if you have not taken any dance exams.
Is singing or drama experience essential?
It is not essential for applicants to have had formal training in these areas. Candidates who have selected Music Theatre on their application will be required to sing in both the primary and recall auditions. Singing is also required for the Jazz Dance recall. The purpose of this assessment is to determine whether the candidate has the potential to sing and act and that there are no problems with the vocal chords.
What academic qualifications are required?
Initial selection is made on the basis of the application form and successful candidates will be invited to attend the first stage of the audition process. A-level Dance is desirable but not essential. Applicants under 21 years old must have obtained a minimum of two A-level passes*, plus three different GCSE passes of grade C or higher (or equivalent qualifications) including GCSE English, and have accumulated 96 UCAS points.
How many hours of academic lectures do students get each week?
Students on the BA Hons degree receive 6 contact hours per week. This includes anatomy, dance & theatre history, dance theory & criticism and music.
How do students with varying levels ability in different disciplines cope?
Students are streamed on ability and put into groups according to level and experience. This enables students to progress at their own speed and will then be upgraded if necessary. Students participate in assessments and receive regular feedback.
What is a typical student timetable?
Timetables are individually structured and will be changed each term. Each student will have a daily ballet class and contemporary and jazz techniques classes twice a week. Students will also study partnering, choreography and academic studies. Dependent on the students area of specialism, students will then have the opportunity of choosing a range of supplementary core techniques and options including drama, singing, hip hop, Cunningham, contact improvisation etc.
What performance opportunities are there?
There are many performances opportunities throughout the training, including the Spring Showcase, performance collaborations with design students from Central Saint Martin's and end of year productions. Third year students work towards a final production in their chosen specialisation and have the experience of taking the shows on tour.
Where do students live?
If you are successful in gaining a place at London Studio Centre we will send you a list of recommended accommodation. This ranges from student accommodation to residential hostels. London Studio Centre's location in North Finchley means that many of our students choose to live locally in private rental accommodation.
What funding is available?
Throughout the audition process scholarships maybe awarded for excellence or financial need. Applicants may also be asked to audition for the Andrew Lloyd Webber Scholarship which will award one student support for their tuition fees.
Those students that are unsuccessful in gaining any scholarships will be self-funding and will be liable for the full tuition fee.
Student support is available to all UK students on the Degree programme; this enables students to apply for a tuition fee loan, maintenance loan and maintenance grant (means-tested). EU students can also apply for tuition fee loans. Both tuition fees and maintenance loans do not have to be paid back until they have graduated.
Can I transfer credit from another course to join the second or third year of the BA Hons Theatre Dance programme?
Subject to audition, students may enter directly into Level 4, Level 5 or Level 6 or be exempted from part of Level 4 or Level 5 with appropriate prior learning and/or experience in accordance with Middlesex University's regulations.

Today I was running late to church.
I walked in and greeted the fellow handing out the programs for the service. As I reached for a program he pulled back and said, "I already gave a program to your wife."
Which is odd, because as you know, I don't have wife.
But then I thought, "May be my future wife is here. May be this good brother didn't make a mistake but was, in his own special way, telling me that my future wife was in the congregation, today, right then, waiting for me to share a program with her."
I rushed in hoping to find her.
Apparently, she got tired of a waiting, because I couldn't find her any where. It looks like she got tired of holding the program by herself and left.
I really need to get to church earlier, and my wife needs to be a little bit more patient in waiting for me.

So happy I found this top at H&M on Saturday! (sorry about the bad pictures...) I've seen it on a couple of blogs before and I could never find it anywhere, but then I tried a mall I never usually go to, and voilà! I had to buy it in a size XS, but it's so big it fits really nicely. I think it looks so nice peeking out from under a top, don't you think?

So far my makeup routine takes about 1 min. Mascara only and when I'm in a good mood, some foundation, but skin is pretty clear, so whatever
And I was wondering if I should start to pick up a more sophisticated makeup routine?
And I don't mean looking like this sosickwithit.com/.../...akeup-fails-120313-14.jpeg but actually well done make up.
my cousin is an make up artist and she did it once for me and results were wow. but then my friend said she'd never wear that much makeup, because she doesn't want a guy to be disappointed when she takes it off and it's less wow. You know still pretty but not that gorgeous, as demonstrated in the pictures below
Would that be a huge turn off then?
Now I realise that my make up will never be like in the pictures below, but you get the idea and a bit of contouring and highlighting can do a lot
As for the poll, which do you prefer?
Brooklyn Decker:
Megan Fox:
Miranda Kerr
Scarlett Johanson:
Doutzen Kroes
- Minimal/ No makeupVote A
- SophisticatedVote B
Most Helpful Guy
I only like make up when it's used to express something about your personality.
Like this:
When it's used to "enhance", to me it translates to "I know I'm not pretty enough but I'm trying to make you believe that I am". It's the equivalent of a guy using PUA pick up lines he read two hours ago.00|00|0
but even the pictures you linked, would you want her to look like that every day?
I would be ok with that.

Great Plains People
By: Madilynn Rudd
The Great Plains People farmed grassland and hunted mostly buffalo. The eastern plain people lived in lodges where as the hunters in the western plains lived in tee-pees. The hunters were called nomads because they never stayed in one place. The farmers would farm until summer and winter came around. During then they hunted buffalo.
Horses were basically the Comanches money.
The buffalo were one of the main resources.

Posted by Cecilia
Joel Stempler represented me in a Landlord / Tenant dispute. I had moved from my apartment and the Leasing Management company was giving me some trouble. I had requested a pro rata return of the last month's rent and my security deposit. I had done everything I was required to do to have both returned, but the Leasing Manager at the apartment complex was uncooperative and ignored my requests, so I retained Mr. Stempler to assist me. He recovered my full security deposit plus pro rata amount of my last month's rent.
Attorney Stempler was aggressive and persistent and he got me back every penny which the apartment leasing company owed me. I liked the manner in which he kept me "in the loop". I was always informed about my case, and promptly received copies of all correspondence between his office and the apartment leasing company.
Mr. Stempler was always very responsive to my questions, and promptly returned all of my calls. He is the consummate professional who appears to truly care about his clients. That is impressive in this day and age!
Posted by Dan Friedland
Mr. Stempler is an extremely competent and motivated attorney who has handled several legal matters for me in Florida. He is extremely knowledgeable in internet law and reputation management. He represented me on a sensitive matter involving family law. As well as representing me in the court room he is a brilliant negotiator and publicist. His publications show an academic bent and the ability to conduct abstruse legal research. He is a good communicator and keeps his client informed. He is fearless and aggressive and is not afraid to take on corporate
giants for aggrieved consumers. I would highly reccommend him
Posted by anonymous
I could not have asked for a better more professional attorney and successful advocate. Joel Stempler is an excellent attorney who pays attention to detail and provided me with the highest level of service. He briefed me before the deposition and made me feel comfortable and confident. Mr. Stempler stayed in contact with my treating physicians and insurance adjuster. I felt like I was always in good hands of the most caring attorney. Finally, I was extremely satisified with the settlement he negotiated and without any doubt I would reccommend Attorney Joel Stempler.

Please confirm that you want to add Writing Songs For TV/Film & Video Games to your Wishlist.
Last Updated May 2016
As the artist Manafest I've sold over 300,000 albums worldwide over 1,000,000 singles and toured over 21 different countries.
My music has been used in many TV Shows, Movies & Video Games like Nascar, NFL, One Tree Hill, Hard Target, Grimm, plus countless others.
Getting your music placed in a TV/Film or Video Game is called a "Synch" and music supervisors are the ones that control this world.
They are hired by the production company to find great music that will fit the scene of a movie, TV Show, Commercial or video game.
If you are a songwriter and own the masters to your songs then there is a huge opportunity for you to make money with your music.
This course will teach you exactly how this industry works and how you can get your music placed on TV, Movies plus videos games.
Big overview of how to get your songs in TV/Film and how to connect with music supervisors which are the new record labels.
Every music supervisor is looking for something different depending on what the film needs or more specifically what the scene needs. It isn't always a radio hit but what works best with the film.
There are two ways you get paid when your song gets synched to a film or TV placement.
The Master side and the publishing side. This lecture breaks it down so you can understand better.
You only get one chance on a great first impression so you want to make sure you know what to do when you meet a music supervisor.
http://www.musicsupervisor.com is a great place to get started for getting your music in TV/Film
This lecture shows you all the info you will need to upload your song to Music Supervisor.com including: Genre, Tempo, Sounds like, storyline, lyrics etc. Take the time and upload all your songs and add all the meta data so that music supervisors will find your song when doing a search.
I use http://www.tunecore.com for my music distribution and getting my songs synched.
http://www.cdbaby.com is another great company I highly recommend artists work with for TV/Film plus they do micro synchs with Rumble Fish which is worth checking out.
http://www.synchsummit.com is definitely worth the investment of both time and money if you have great sounding songs ready to go. This is where you have the opportunity to meet music supervisors face to face.
I'm sure these guy's want to help artists but the deals that came across my email when one of my songs was excepted it was shady. I don't recommend them.

From the CEO's Desk: Good Managers pay attention to behavior and attitude
A federal appeals court has recently upheld a jury verdict of over $1.5 million in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC's) lawsuit against New Breed Logistics, a High Point, N.C. based logistics services provider. The logistics company had been charged by the EEOC with harassment and retaliation.
According to the agency's suit, a New Breed Logistics Memphis, TN warehouse supervisor unlawfully discriminated against three female employees. The supervisor allegedly sexually harassed the female employees and retaliated against them after they objected to his sexual advances. The EEOC also charged that a New Breed supervisor retaliated against a male employee who verbally opposed the supervisor's sexual harassment and supported the women's complaints.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed the lawsuit after the agency first attempted to reach a pre-litigation settlement out of court. On May 9, 2013, a federal jury in Memphis found in favor of the EEOC, and awarded the discrimination victims $1,513,094.
One of six national priorities identified by the Commission's Strategic Enforcement Plan (SEP) is to eliminate policies and practices that discourage or prohibit individuals from exercising their rights under employment discrimination statutes, or that interfere with the agency's investigative or enforcement efforts.
For additional information about the EEOC and the laws it enforces, go to www.eeoc.gov.
New Breed Logistics, a logistics services provider that helps companies design and operate supply chains, warehousing and distribution, operates five Memphis warehouses. New Breed is a national company, headquartered in High Point, N.C. that also has warehouses in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Texas, Los Angeles and Kearny, N.J.

Chrysler | 300 Reasons
Multi-screen digital web & tablet experience, online advertising, PR and Social.
With only 2 lofty and poetic European TV spots in play, the challenge was to increase consumer awareness for Chrysler's upcoming model year release of the new Chrysler 300.
Using the European TV spots as a spring board, "300 Reasons to Love the New Chrysler 300" is a multi-screen, omni-channel digital experience that functions seamlessly on kiosks at auto-shows, touchscreens at dealerships, and as a portable desktop/tablet experience.
The extensive library of photographic assets for the 300 vehicle, including many historical photographs, along with an exclusive shoot specifically for this project lead to an immersive and engaging customer experience and an overwhelming awareness for the new Chrysler 300 vehicle.

CEL Function for moment acting on a BC?
I notice that there are several built in functions for outputing the net X,Y and Z flow induced forces acting on a BC.
Is there a way to output the net moments due to flow induced forces acting on a body?
There dont seem to be built in functions for this?
The BC I'm fiddling with describes an anisotropic-shaped hollow cutout in the fluid domain and as such is not amenable to simple point-of-action assumptions.
Re: CEL Function for moment acting on a BC?
You could make an additional variable of the cross product of the elemental force and the axis you are taking your torques about. Then you can integrate them over the surface and get the total torque.
Glenn Horrocks
Re: CEL Function for moment acting on a BC?
That's what I thought ...
So no built in function but I can do this in user fortran? You wouldn't be able to do this in a user CEL function I take it?
Re: CEL Function for moment acting on a BC?
Take a look at the etc/VARIABLES file in the installation directory. There is a callback named torque that seems to work as the force callback.. It may compute the torque respect the position vector on the global frame.
Juan Carlos
Re: CEL Function for moment acting on a BC?
The torque is given about a global axis. If you need it about another axis, it is a trivial calculation to do. You simply need to take the torque about each axis and the forces in each direction, then apply simple statics to do the transformation. All of the above are available as CEL integration functions.
