The subject of fires caused by lithium-ion batteries took on urgent new meaning following two thermal runaway incidents with lithium-ion batteries installed in Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. A lot of information—and misinformation—surrounds lithium-ion technology, and experts from all over are weighing in with their opinions.
One oft-cited source of information is the FAA's list of "Aviation Incidents Involving Smoke, Fire, Extreme Heat or Explosion." The list consolidates information about 132 incidents with "battery-powered devices" that occurred between March 20, 1991 and Oct. 9, 2012. The FAA acknowledges that the list "should not be considered as a complete listing of all such incidents. The incident summaries included here are intended to be brief and objective. They do not represent all information the FAA has collected, nor do they include all investigative or enforcement actions taken."
So what does this summary really show? Are lithium-ion batteries too dangerous to fly? And where is the highest risk, in the cargo compartment or with the many lithium-powered devices carried by passengers and pilots?
Note that this list does not include only lithium-ion battery incidents; all battery types are covered. And the title is a little misleading, because many of the incidents involve cargo carriage of pallets of batteries that aren't installed in any device.
The majority of these incidents, 86, involved cargo shipments both on and off the aircraft. Clearly, the highest risk involving batteries and aircraft is shipment via air. There are many cases of fires happening before and after unloading, and it seems amazing that there haven't been more cargo crashes involving batteries catching fire. Thankfully there are new rules governing cargo carriage of lithium-ion batteries.
The next highest category is also of concern, batteries in devices carried by passengers and crew onboard the aircraft, which accounted for 21 incidents. Surprisingly few of these involved mobile computing devices.
Batteries in checked luggage caused fires, often because passengers just threw batteries into bags without protecting the terminals. Not a good idea. This category included 11 incidents at airports and five with checked luggage onboard the aircraft.
Nine incidents occurred in devices at the airport, which is good from one perspective, because the devices caught fire or got really hot before getting on an airplane.
Of the 132 incidents, 62 were specified as involving lithium-ion batteries. In a handful of cases, the battery type wasn't identified, but the others involved lead-acid, ordinary dry cells, nickel cadmium and nickel-metal hydride types.
Some of the incidents were caused by extremely poor judgment, such as the passenger who felt compelled to transport a motorcycle battery next to a gasoline container onboard the aircraft. The resulting fire destroyed the airplane and critically injured 14 passengers.
Surprisingly, only two laptop fires occurred on aircraft during flight. What seems to be missing from this list is any fires involving cellphones, tablet computers or other portable devices. There was one incident where an MP3 player got very hot, but it didn't catch fire.
Many thousands of aircraft fly every day with passengers carrying and using lithium-battery-powered devices. This incident list doesn't identify these devices as posing a significant problem, although this list should be a wake-up call for any company that carries cargo.

I love what Fall Design Team member Liz Qualman has done with today's steal, the Carta Bella Alphabet Junction collection. This collection is bright and colorful, and comes with so many papers, chipboard embellishments, and brads. She definitely rocked it!
• • • • •
Looking for some adorable children's scrapbook collections at an unbeatable price? You need to check out the Carta Bella Alphabet Junction collection at ScrapbookSteals.com today! It has the most wonderful textured cardstock and patterns that are perfect for the little guys and girls in your life. I made this fun, bright page about my little guy.
There are super cute sentiments and fun patterns to document your memories like this preschool photo of my son. I really liked how there were plenty of places to hand write my journaling and how the texture of both the paper and the chipboard helped me avoid smudging. The miniature stitching on this sticker is a wonderful detail.
I especially love how coordinated the cardstock stickers, chipboard pieces and patterned paper are in this collection and how they work together in clusters. I used the alphabet stickers to make the title and then continued the sentiment with the cardstock sticker phrases.
It's fun to use banners as a design element and make each of the embellishments part of the effect. I cut banners out of some of the cardstock paper and then I snipped the ends of the cardstock sticker phrases to complete the banner look.
I thought it would be fun to use the Alphabet Junction patterned paper and stickers to create a more mature card. This Delightful Stripe patterned paper used on the flip side with the XO pattern made a great focal point for the design of this romantic card.
The cardstock stickers are from the Carta Bella collection, but the clear stickers are from Little Yellow Bicycle. I used two of my Martha Stewart punches to make the border and leaves.
This card took very little time and is focused around one of the alpha cards. I added the chipboard title and the cardstock banner sticker to pull it together for a fun everyday card.
Love how the chipboard pops off the card and the light pink is such a fun color and contrast to the darker pinks in the papers.

This Garlic-Lover's Vegetable Stir Fry that I first made with late-season garden veggies is something I'd never get tired of eating. This stir-fry dish was inspired by the last few vegetables I picked from my garden. I used a combination of eggplant, zucchini, and yellow squash, but you can easily make this with just one of those ingredients.
Principles of Chinese Cooking
- Preheat the wok (before you put the oil in).
- Season the oil (with whole pieces of garlic and sometimes ginger root, which you often remove when you add the food to be cooked).
- Symmetry of cut (all pieces must be cut the same size and shape).
- Have all ingredients cut and sauces mixed before you cook.
- Use very high heat and cook fast.
Garlic-Lover's Vegetable Stir Fry with Eggplant, Zucchini, and Yellow Squash
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn with inspiration from Cooking from the Heart: The Hmong Kitchen in America.)
1 1/2 lbs zucchini, yellow squash, and/or eggplant, cut into same size pieces (use any combination of these vegetables)
2 T peanut oil or canola oil (or possibly a little more if you don't have a non-stick pan)
2 T finely minced garlic (or less)
1 onion, sliced top to bottom in strips about 1/2 inch wide
1/4 tsp. salt
3 T Oyster Sauce (look for it by the Asian foods in any supermarket. If you need gluten-free, be sure to get Gluten-Free Oyster Sauce.)

"I went on to Columbia University, as I had planned. I was just a year late. But Mother promised that I could go on and do graduate work. So, I went on up to Columbia University. I did work in Bacteriology.
"And then, I hadn't known much about hospitals or laboratory work, but then I got into hospital work, and I studied to be a laboratory technician, you know. And Mother and Dad came up there. We took an apartment, and they came up there and stayed with me that winter. And I was still writing a thesis when they wanted to come home in the spring, and so I stayed on in New York and finished my work up there, and then I came home in 1919 and opened a laboratory here in Asheville. Had my own laboratory.
"It was in the Coxe building right there where the craft shop is, you know. There's a florist shop in there now, and four Doctors had their offices in there. Dr. Glenn and Dr. Cotton, and who else? Dr. Hipps and Dr. Meriwether. And I took the back room to make that into a laboratory. And there's another firm of doctors. Dr. Smith, Bernard Smith, and Dr. Lynch, and Dr. Adams were all on the other side.
"Well, I cut a door between those two offices and I had to work from those two sets of doctors, you know.
"Later, when I went back to school, in 1922 I guess, I went back to study medicine. After I did laboratory work, then I knew what I wanted to do. I wanted to study medicine. And my father was, encouraged me in it. In fact, he gave me the idea first. He said, "If I had the money, you might as well be a doctor instead of fooling along with this sort of thing, you know. If I had the money, I'd put you through medical school."
"[As far as women doctors in Asheville,] Dr. Margery Lord was here. [Dr. Margery Lord, City Health Officer for fifteen years from 1939-1954] And an eye specialist had been here. Dr. Merrimon. She fitted my first glasses when I was just a little girl. It wasn't striking out for woman's liberation at all, not at all. I studied medicine because I was interested in it. Because it was a challenge, and I wanted to know. …
… "In '35 I think I opened up my office. But it was awfully hard to get started because it was during the depression and, well, I couldn't get work anywhere. I wasn't known here as a physician. And Northern Hospital [where I had interned] was a small hospital, and small private hospital. They had no room for another physician on the staff.
"And Dr. Ingrathaw, Louise Ingrathaw, was really very friendly and helped me. But what I did, I'd been a laboratory technician before, so I opened up a laboratory first and to be sure that I'd have enough money to make it on I asked around to see several doctors.
"And they paid me so much a month to do all their work, no matter what it was. It wasn't on a fee basis. They just guaranteed me so much work a month. And I got started like that.
"But then, you can't do two things. As soon as people started coming to me as patients, the doctors didn't want me to do their laboratory work. And I can understand that. I couldn't do both. I either had to specialize in pathology, in the laboratory work, or I had to be a physician. Well, I wanted to be a physician. I didn't want to do the laboratory work. I studied medicine to get out of that.
"Well, in a year or so, I think I stayed in that laboratory, maybe I would say two years, and then Louise Ingrathaw said she couldn't work, she couldn't work very hard and if I'd come and do her laboratory work, she would give me, let me have part of her office, and there was space during the day, and she wasn't there, and when she wasn't there, I could see patients. And then anything that she didn't want, she turned my way, which, that was the way to get started, you know.
"And the first thing she turned over to me was at six in the morning, a colored girl had phoned her that she had a very bad pain, was nauseated and very sick. And the lady she worked for said she was extremely sick, and would Louise come to see her?
"Well Louise phoned me and said, 'Well, here's a case for you. You can go to see this girl.' And she was in the servants' room, she spent the night there, in her employer's home. So I went out to see her; inexperienced as I was, it was easy to tell it was appendicitis. Then I tried to get in the hospital here in Asheville, and that's another story. I didn't want to give up my entire practice right at the hospital door and that's what it would have been, because the colored people could get in the hospital if they had the money to pay — but they didn't have a dime.
"At that time, it was in the, well, I started the laboratory in the Flat Iron building because there were physicians there who gave me work to do. I moved to the Haywood building with Dr. Ingrathaw and after she had to retire, the firm she was with, other doctors from that office wanted the whole office, so I moved farther down the hall in the Haywood building, and then I moved to the Arcade building. Then war was declared and the government took over the Arcade building for the war effort and then I moved up to the Weaver building, and there I stayed until 1962."

The boss maxes out around 425+ and the Katana closer to 450+. My problem is that the Katana is so inconistent and even on hyzer flip I am struggling to keep them from turning too much. I'd like to find something that can give me that extra Katana type distance and turn but just not so much turn. A more stable Katana? What disc suggestions do you all have?
I'll go a slightly different route than the rest who posted here.
S/QOLF or S-PD. If you're throwing 380' with eagles, and want something longer that is more consistent than bosses or katanas, these two discs should easily fit the bill. They are in a bit of a slower speed category, but if you're looking to mix consistent flights and very good distance, can't go wrong with either of those.

Almost 21 years ago, my wife gave birth to our first child. I had been awake for about 24 hours, so I was more than a little dazed when the obstetrician placed our newborn daughter in my arms and asked me if I had any questions.
"Yes," I blurted. "Will she know who the Beatles are?"
"Beats me," he replied, with a laugh. "But why do you care?"
I've been wondering about that this month, as America marks the 50th annniversary of the Beatles' first visit to these shores. The two surviving members of the band, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, sang together on stage last month at the Grammy Awards. And last night, exactly a half-century after the Beatles' historic appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show, CBS aired a two-hour special featuring contemporary pop artists covering their songs.
So what made the Beatles so special, in their time and in our own? Why do we care?
The best way to answer that is to look at the other acts who shared the bill with them on that fateful evening back in 1964. After the Beatles played three songs, a magician named Fred Kaps performed a card trick and a sleight-of hand involving a bottomless salt shaker. The cast of "Oliver" sang a few numbers from their Broadway show. Impressionist Frank Gershin, who later played "The Riddler" on Batman, did send-ups of Dean Martin and Marlon Brando. And then came the inimitable Tessie O'Shea, a generously proportioned banjo player whose best-known song was "Two-Ton Tessie (from Tennessee)."
Get the picture? American popular culture was staid and predictable, produced by self-satisfied adults for their own entertainment; adolescents were mostly left out of the picture. But the Beatles brought them back in. That's why youngsters in the crowd shrieked and screamed during the band's three songs, and again when the Fab Four came back to play two more. "If you don't keep quiet," Ed Sullivan warned, "I'm going to send for a barber."
Laying odds on the Beatles' success
The quip alluded to the Beatles' famously floppy hair, of course. To promote the band's American tour, their record company sold "Beatles' wigs" and required sales staff to wear them at all times. In Hollywood, meanwhile, actress Janet Leigh became the first A-lister to get a "Beatles' 'do" from her hair stylist.
A woman, with a man's haircut? Or were the Beatles a bit like women themselves? The band mixed things up on the gender front, too, which helped account for their extraordinary popularity among young females. The nearest rock icon to the Beatles, Elvis Presley, streamed all of his sexual energy through his hips. The Beatles were sexy in a much safer way, from their preppy clothes through their toothy white smiles and, yes, their long hair. And the girls loved it.
Not everybody did, of course. "Beatle music is high pitched, loud beyond reason, and stupefyingly repetitive," Newsweek wrote in November 1963, as the Beatles made plans for their U.S. tour. To a reporter at CBS, meanwhile, the Beatles were "merely the latest objects of adolescent adulation" and "the modern manifestation of compulsive tribal singing and dancing."
Indeed, the Fab Four themselves wondered whether they'd make it in America. "They've got everything over there," Starr told a British reporter. "Will they want us too?" In a now-famous $100 bet they made before the tour, only McCartney wagered that it would be a success; Starr, John Lennon, and George Harrison bet against it.
They needn't have worried. McCartney's own father had berated him for the "Americanisms" in his songs, especially the use of the term "yeah" for "yes." And the band's carefully cultivated style — long-haired but straight-laced, optimistic but ironic — fit perfectly in the U.S., where the postwar baby boom was coming of age.
Peter Pan syndrome
If you were born in 1946, you were 18 years old when the Beatles came to America. You had purchasing power, thanks to a long run of national economic growth. But you were also restless and impatient, bored by the bland propriety and hollow affectations of the adult world.
Then came the Beatles. Like Bob Dylan, who burst onto the scene around the same time, they wrote their own songs. More than that, though, they channeled the restless the energy of youth itself. As the British poet A. E. Housman wrote, they were "the lads that will never be old."
And that's still the key to understanding their appeal today. John and George have passed on, of course, and Paul and Ringo are in their 70s. But in our mind's eye, they will always be young.
That's how we want to see ourselves, in these United States: eternally happy, fresh-faced, and eager to embrace the challenges of the world. And we want the same for our kids. The newborn baby I held in my arms is now a young adult, poised and serious and ambitious. I am unspeakably, even painfully proud of her. But I also hope she holds on to the passion and exuberance and plain-old silliness of her youth, and of mine.
And yes, she knows who the Beatles are. We made sure of that.

I Prefur Dune or Jun.
June is one of those names that's gaining in popularity and is not knowen as a unisex name. people reading his name will assume girl, so getting refured to as she, miss, ms, mrs is a real possibility.
How about March?
Printable View
I just remembered -- the boy protagonist in the Spy Kids was called Junie!
I personally like it.
I sort of measure unisex names by a little system.
1. Are there *full names that rhyme?
So like you said there's Dune, and there's also Boone, and Rune. So why not June?
*(Zoe and Chloe for example, do not work, as Joey is only a nickname.)
2. Is it very popular for only one gender?
Avery and Noah may work for both genders, but they are very popular and almost solely used for only girl and boy. June is not extremely widely used as a girls name as of late, so I think it's fine.
(This rule is very subjective, and should not be used as a definitive decision maker)
3. Just focusing on the sound alone, how do I feel about it?
Does it sound feminine, masculine, or neither?
4. Origin of the Name
Months, surnames, and seasons don't have genders. This rule is moot though if it conflicts with another one. (Example April and Summer are too popular as girl names, August and Parker likewise as boy names).
5. Ask someone impartial
Yes people on nameberry count, but I'd also try asking someone else, as I think the opinions of people here are skewed, in a more creative, grey area, daring type of way
These obviously don't always work though. Its just sort of a guideline I try to follow. Let's face it, the whole boy name/girl name thing is totally nonsense, and doesn't actually have any rhyme or reason to it, but it is how it is sometimes.
I prefer the spelling Dune as it makes it look more masculine.
while its on some peoples signatures i dont think Juniper has been suggested yet
also June IS a girl name, no boy would want it as a first OR middle name.
society creating 'gender roles' is just natural. there are males and females. we are different and have different characteristics that occur in us naturally. seems weird that so many people fight this and their own natures. people are free to change and chose who they want to be in life, but it seems those are the ones that have a problem and cant accept themselves as they are and are obsessed with changing themselves into what they want opposed to what they are.
this a good case in which to listen to society. there is a reason its 'won' in this front.
plus there are plenty of better and more inventive options as everyone has pointed out anyway.
ps Juni's name in Spy Kids is Junito Rocket Racer Rebel "Juni" Cortez. His three middle names are those of director Robert Rodriguez's eldest sons.
- let us note that Rodriguez didnt pick Junito as a name for his kids, hint hint, though i dont suggest any of the names he did pick lol.
and if we all remember correctly Juni wasnt exactly popular. looks like it is really an Americanized variation of Juanito when considering the rest of his families names. June in Spanish is Junio which doesnt add any masculinity or charm.
It's great in theory, but probably not in reality. Everyone will assume he's a girl before they meet him, as it is traditionally used for girls. I'd be hesitant, as you're giving another person a name (not yourself), so you have to consider whether or not he'll like having to constantly explain his name. Although name nerds may love the novelty, I doubt that the general populous will be quite as forgiving...
While the idea of June for a boy may be appealing, I don't think you would be doing a son any favors naming him that. It is very feminine.

OC will be John Shoop. Thought the name sounded familiar, but might've confused him with someone. Comes from UNC. Isnt that supposed to be a dirty program?
Crazy game, we really let that one slip away, glad we pulled it out at the end.
Why so SERIOUS
Painter is going to be on Dakich right now talking Wednesday's game.
Gonna be a crazy environment. I went to the one last year and it was the most hatred infested environment I have ever been in. I think Purdue can win, but they will have to make their shots inside and the have to rebound. They matchup well against Zeller and Watford, but Hammons has to beat up Zeller inside like how Jared Sullinger did in the game between IU and OSU last year at Columbus. I think all of these freshmen on both sides will come out playing hard. Ronnie vs Yogi will be a great PG matchup for the next 4 years and they hate each other. CANT WAIT
Smothered Chicken!
Who matches up well against Watford?
Anybody with a pulse?
(Travis Carroll doesn't have a pulse.)
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I think Yogi is going to turn it on against Purdue--it will be his big break out game. Going against guys he competed with/against in high school and AAU (Johnson), and he seems to get how big these in state games are. He will bring the hate and Mackey won't rattle him. That said, as an IU fan, this game makes me incredibly nervous.
Purdue really doesn't have anything to lose, I expect it to be pretty competitive.
Of course, it is entirely possible that they blow our doors off, but that would surprise me much more than a good, hard-fought game throughout.
Lawson or Hale
Smothered Chicken!
I don't really think anything would surprise me, save for a Purdue blowout of IU. My gut tells me that you are right--it will be a hard fought game and fairly close. I don't know what the spread is, but I suspect I would take the under.
Atleast in the first half... smh
Why so SERIOUS
So who thinks there should be a trophy for rivalry games in hoops? It'd be harder since it's (usually) two games a year, so I suppose it'd take a sweep for the trophy to change hands, which could get kind of boring since that doesn't happen all that often. There's also the problem with just coming up with a trophy. Some ugly corporate sponsored generic thing from a sporting goods store would be awful. The Oaken Bucket's frankly just weird and kinda stupid, but at least it's original and immediately recognizable. Maybe a limestone hammer or something, I don't know.
I just think it could be fun and could help the rivalry. Not that it needs it, like the way it needs both programs to get back to being perpetually in the top of the conference at the same time, but who doesn't like the talk about getting the trophy back, seeing old pictures like these
It just makes for good fun.
Damn I didn't know they invented color photography last time IU won the bucket
Game tonight should be good. I expect purdue to stick with Indiana most of the game. With the Hoosiers winning by about 10. But it should be a great game.
Good news: We did not get the biggest azz-whooping of the night
Fire Painter?
I understand there is a huge talent gap between these two teams and I am not here to gloat, but that effort was pathetic. If I was Painter I would be furious. I know Hammons dropped 30, but he got murdered on the boards.
Purdue didnt quit IU broke them. Same as we did to UNC and should have done to minny
Do I go down to where you work and knock the broom out of your hand?
Made Purdue look like a high school team. I love it.
Wow, Bloomington and Martinsville are getting along now? lol
That was stupid. That might've been Terone's worst game at Purdue.
My pops told me rumor has it Painter knocked up a cheerleader. Has anyone heard anything about this?
I Bleed Blue
That was a stupid rumor like six months ago when he and his wife got divorced. It's obviously not true. The power of twitter and message boards.
Hate to say it, but i agree. This team is mentally weak and very average in talent. Hammons might make something of himself though.
This might have been better placed in the IU thread. (or not posted at all?) The purpose of neither the IU thread nor the Purdue thread is to give someone a place to gloat or crap on the other team. You want to celebrate an IU win? Suggest you go to the IU thread. You want to be obnoxious to the fans of the other team? Suggest you go someplace other than PD.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

hello everyone, I have not been on here for a while, I hope everyone is doing ok,
my mum went back in for her repeat ERCP, I wasn't with them this time due to work commitments but dad called up later on this eve to tell me. he said that they have put a wider stent in, he mentioned that the doctors want to do a CT scan within 2 weeks and do some other camera thing- I think he meant a repeat ERCP however im not sure, we are due to meet the consultant next week to discuss biopsy results, I will be travelling back up to be there with them.
I am praying that it is positive news, however I am worried as dad did sound subdued but it is too early to tell what is going on without speaking with the consultant I guess,

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Vitamin D supplementation on the reasons (mechanisms) underlying the development of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, body weight/obesity), muscle weakness and wasting (sarcopenia), and impaired physical function (poor balance and walking) associated with vitamin D deficiency and osteopenia/osteoporosis (bone loss). The investigators obtain vitamin D through our diet and sunlight, and its conversion to active vitamins in the liver and kidneys promotes the intestinal absorption of calcium and regulation of bone growth. Therefore, vitamin D deficiency has been known for years to lead to weakened bones (osteopenia and osteoporosis). However, more recently, studies show vitamin D deficiency is associated with a number of other diseases, including type 2 diabetes, muscle weakness, frailty, and the metabolic syndrome. It has also been associated with cognitive impairment. Diabetes affects multiple organ systems including the heart, kidneys, musculoskeletal and nervous system. The possibility that vitamin D deficiency is linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, muscle weakness and wasting (sarcopenia) and osteopenia/osteoporosis, and that vitamin D supplementation decreases the risk for these diseases, provides a relatively easy/accessible and inexpensive model of preventive therapy to decrease the incidence of these diseases. In addition, it is likely that genetic (inherited) factors play a role, but the relationship of these genes to these metabolic abnormalities have not been elucidated. Understanding the role of Vitamin D in health will allow us to translate these findings into therapy.

The roundtable breakfast was attended by over 50 high-level representatives from ECOSOC member states, civil society, private organizations, the UN and various other international organisations.
Ambassador Miller opened the event by discussing the importance of entrepreneurship and its role in job creation and poverty reduction. Citing successful programmes such as UNCTAD's EMPRETEC, he challenged event participants to strengthen their commitment to promoting entrepreneurship development in their countries.
The event's keynote speaker, Mr. Jonathan Ortmans from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation on Entrepreneurship, highlighted a number of significant issues relating to entrepreneurship development and poverty reduction. He shared with the group research describing an entrepreneurial society that includes new actors in a new economy with new characteristics such as an open-source culture. He also informed participants about the network of angel investors and training activities for future venture capitalists and future company leaders.
Participants left the event enthusiastic about the possibility of partnerships and collaborations between the various members. The idea of creating an "Entrepreneurship Week" within the worldwide EMPRETEC network in cooperation with the Kaufmann Foundation is already being discussed.

text: 8 wins needed to silence grouches By Doug Smock April 28, 2013 Story Share EIGHT SHOULD be enough to get the howling, green-clad wolves off Marshall football coach Doc Holliday's proverbial porch.Maybe.Elements of the Thundering Herd faithful have turned into George Spacely of Hanna-Barbera infamy, screaming, "Jetson! You'rrrrrre fired!" only substituting "Doc," "Herrion" or whoever.That gets old, but so does entering the season finale against East Carolina at 5-6. With the schedule falling the same way, Holliday and the Herd don't need to be 5-6 and needing to beat the Pirates for the third season in a row.That will make for a long, grouchy season.With Conference USA's most potent offense mostly intact and improvements in defense and special teams (right?), why shouldn't the Herd win eight or nine games?One word of caution: Do NOT call the Herd's 2013 schedule easier than that of 2012. Through realignment and the scrapping of the 2005-12 scheduling rotation, the Herd lost nemesis Central Florida, cellar-dwellers Memphis and Tulane, struggling Texas-El Paso and Southern Methodist.In their place will be Texas-San Antonio, Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Middle Tennessee ... and defending C-USA champion Tulsa, on the road.In the final CBS Sports 1-124 rankings, the "would be" five league foes ranked an average 92.4. The "will be" quintet checks in at an average 77.2.By that measure, the Herd's league schedule gets tougher. Still, why shouldn't the Herd go 8-5 (including bowl game) at the worst?Jumping around the schedule, let's see what this team must do this fall. Remember, these are NOT predictions. They are necessities.With 124 days to opening kickoff, off we go:n Gimme win — Gardner-Webb (Sept. 7). If you need to schedule the Bulldogs to make six home games, I guess that will do. Gentlemen, you can get married that weekend and still keep your man card. n Need a prayer — At Virginia Tech (Sept. 21) and at Tulsa (Thursday, Nov. 14). I'd just be happy to see the Herd not get worked over, as it has in every other trip to Blacksburg. Frank Beamer retooled his offensive coaching staff, and the Hokies will be ready to score.In the worst break of the schedule, the Herd goes to Tulsa on a short week, five days after a home game against Alabama-Birmingham. The Golden Hurricane has holes to fill on defense, but many skill players are back on offense, including backs Trey Watts and Ja'Terian Douglas. Those are losses unless someone says otherwise.n Smack the MAC, for once — The Herd must beat Miami (Ohio) in the Aug. 31 opener, then beat Ohio two weeks later, in Athens.As you may recall, the Bobcats toted 15 fifth-year seniors to Huntington for their 27-24 win over the Herd. I thought that was remarkable until I looked at their spring roster and counted 19 fifth-year seniors for this fall.How does Frank Solich do it? He has Tyler Tettleton back to terrorize the Herd one more time. The Bobcats are back in Athens, where they laid a 44-7 beatdown on the Herd in 2011. And so on.I don't care. Marshall must win every game vs. the Mid-American Conference or be mired in mediocrity. One-point wins are acceptable; defeat is not. Miami was 4-8 last season. Two must-win games.n Beep-beep, bleep-bleep: Texas-San Antonio (Oct. 5) is one of those C-USA newcomers with huge upside, a program with a fan base from the opening kickoff. Combine that with some good ol' Texas home recruitin', and the Roadrunners could be frightening.But not yet. They were 8-4 last year but just 3-3 in the disintegrating WAC. And they're coming to Huntington, a strange roadie for a C-USA newbie.Must win.n Southern Miss/UAB home stand: The Herd's back-to-back home games in league play feature these familiar East Division rivals. First, I'm going to assume Southern Mississippi sheds its jaw-dropping losing streak long before Nov. 2.Still, how quickly can the Golden Eagles and coach Todd Monken recover from 0-12?I'll take Southern Miss over UAB, though. It's a reflex, you know, but a dependable one.As dependable as Marshall beating UAB at home. The Herd should never lose to the Blazers anywhere, but I'll try to forget last year's loss at Legion Field.One of these games won't be easy, but MU needs a sweep.n Middle East, no peace: It may be odd to lump a road game at Middle Tennessee (Thursday, Oct. 24) with the home finale against East Carolina (Nov. 13), but there is a common denominator: The Herd will be an underdog in both.The Blue Raiders finished a game behind Arkansas State in the Sun Belt standings, and have been a thorny foe for C-USA teams. Quarterback Logan Kilgore is among 17 starters back.If East Carolina isn't favored to win the East Division, I surrender. Like Marshall, the Pirates changed defensive coordinators and have built a potent offense.For division contention purposes, a split for MU would be huge.Add those up and you see 9-3, right? Experience tells me almost every team boots a game, so you can deduct a win somewhere and make it 8-4.So would going 8-4 in the regular season and losing a bowl game be much more acceptable than going 7-5 and winning a bowl? It seems that way.But just think: It has been a long decade since the Herd won eight in a season. A long, long decade. Holliday and company must put an end to it.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, email@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Welcome to the Venturing Officers' Association of the Northeastern Pennsylvania! This webpage will provide you with all of the information regarding the functions of the Venturing Officer's Association, Venturing Event details, Contact Information, and much more. You can follow the respective links below to find what it is you are looking for.
In addition to the following information, the most fundamental question we often receive is "What is Venturing?" To answer that question in official terms, Venturing is a division of the Boy Scouts of America for young adults, both men and women, ages 14- 21. The purpose of the Venturing program is to provide positive experiences to help youth mature and to prepare them to become responsible adults. Beyond that, the possibilities are endless.
The real definition of Venturing, as the youth who are part of the program see it, is up to interpretation. Venturing Crews, which are the Venturing equivalent of Boy Scout Troops, may choose to specialize in any area they choose - whether it be a medical specialization, or an outdoor specialization, a climbing specialization, or even a medieval battle reenactment specialization. Those crews will then design a program that fits their specialization and is suitable for them. Many crews choose to not specialize at all, and do whatever new and exciting things they feel like doing.
Venturing, like Boy Scouting, also has a recognition/ advancement system and opportunities for leadership training – both of which are ultimately optional. A Venturer does whatever it is he or she wants to do; therefore, it is, in simplest terms, a youth- run program.
For more information about starting a Venturing Crew or joining an existing one, you can follow the "Venturing Units" link below, or get in touch with us by following the "Contact Us" link, also found below. Thanks, and we hope to hear from you soon!
The Venturing Officers' Association of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council serves the purpose of running the Venturing program in the council. Run exclusively by youth, the meetings act as a forum for the youth officers of all the crews in the council to gather, discuss the program, plan for events, and receive training and other information to aid them in their home crews.
The VOA is responsible for running/ promoting 5 events every year: Venturing Week at Goose Pond Scout Reservation, a summer camp program geared towards Venturers; the Insomniacs Revenge, a weekend long event with 36 hours of program for Venturers from all over the area; the Holiday Lock- In, an all night gathering of Venturers in the council during the holiday season in the spirit of fellowship; the Winter Olympics, a daylong gathering of Venturers in the winter which includes athletic competitions and opportunities to earn requirements for the Sports Bronze Award; and the Venturing Rendezvous, the area conclave held in mid May. The VOA also plans and conducts a training every year to teach Venturers how to conduct an ILSC on the crew level.
The VOA is also responsible to providing service to the council camps. In addition to aiding with events held at the camps such as Harvest Fest, the VOA also plans and carries out service projects with the goal of providing significant improvements to the camps and the programs they run.
So, if you are a crew officer interested in having a say in how your program is run, you can get in touch with us on the Contact Us page to find out how to join. See you soon!
Council Vice President of Administration: Tyler Sepcoski
Hey guys! My name is Tyler Sepcoski and I'm honored to serve as you and the rest of those in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council as the Vice President of Administration.
In addition to being the VOA Vice President of Administration, I'm also President of Crew 2025, and have been for two years now. I'm also a Brotherhood member of Order of the Arrow Lodge 191, an Eagle Scout from Troop 316, and a Camp Acahela staff member for the last three years. I've been in Venturing for three years now and I've been in Scouting for 11 years and I don't plan on leaving it. Venturing has honestly given me some of my best memories and I know it still has many more just waiting in store!
Outside of Scouting, I'm a Senior at Triboro Christian Academy, college student at Luzerne Community College, a member of the National Honor Society and a captain of my high school's soccer team. After high school I plan on going to Penn State for Administration of Justice.
When I'm not working on school work, I'm usually planning for my next Scouting event, or at least looking forward to it! Venturing has let me experience many new things, meet new people, and has changed my life exponentially, especially considering I've only been in the program for three years. As the Vice President of Administration I hope to help the Venturing program grow so that the youth of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council can have all the experiences I've had because of it. Thank you, and I hope to see you at the next Venturing event!

Apologies for absence
The rabbit - who is well and content enough - would like to apologise for the protracted period of blogsilence - basically due to busyness and distraction. Here is a man called Bill Shorten - Minister for Something in the Australian Government and plainly a man of towering intellect and independence of mind.

Can't listen now... the husband is asleep right next to me, but I will.
I love the word wanker!
Nice to see you.

Charitably he might know better than to cross Ms Gillard.

i believe 'minister for something' is an actual portfolio in australia and, if it isn't, it really should be.
glad you are well and back enlightening us, my leporine chum

I would be shocked if something was done. To be honest this is one of the few years that an arguement could be made that a trade doesn't have to be made.
Do we have weaknesses? Yep.
Could we shore up a weakness with a trade? Without a doubt.
Could we destroy any kind of chemistry that might exist with this team if we do make a trade, even one that makes sense? Absolutely.
Here's my take on it.
If nothing happens, which is what I expect, then as long as we can make it out of the first round this summer will be relatively quiet.
If we get bounced out again in the first round then the team will need a serious overhall. No matter how good the regular season record is, you can't keep losing in the first round.
I would think the only players that should feel secure if that happens is O'Neal & Artest & probably Miller.
As we start to close out the season I still have the same questions about this team that I had last summer. Center spot & guard play.
Fred Jones has made good strides in his second year & Reggie has at least bounced back to decent form.
A.J. is one of the most valuable players on this team, not because of his floor participaton per say, but he is a true leader on this team.
Anderson has been competent, that is to say he is dull. Which isn't a bad thing really.
Jamaal changed the season when he came in. Till he came in our forwards were winning games in spite of our guard play. But Jamaals court vision & his suprising shooting changed the season & he made Reggie Miller better. But of late he's kind of hit the wall again.
I still don't feel great about any of our guards.
But for as bad as I feel abour our guard play I feel that much worse about our center spot.
Jeff Foster has done a decent job. But he is a backup, nothing more nothing less. You will not win a title playing Jeff Foster at center big min.
He get's boards but he cannot bang with the big boys successfully.
Scot Pollard has had 5 good games. I've actually been contemplating whether or not Scot shouldn't be starting right now. But let's not get carried away, he still is not a starting caliber center.
Primoz ed:
O'Neal. Here's the rub. He can & does play center. He actually plays it very well. However when he does play center it takes away from his game which he excells at.
Which brings us to what U.B. & I have discussed all season long. Is a lineup of Al, Ron & J.O. big enough & tough enough to advance deep into the playoffs?
I think they can, but I'm not confident they can.
I just am afraid that a big physical teams (N.Y., Detroit, N.O.) will just abuse us & we will see a throwback to players standing around harping at refs. looking for calls.
But then again they may very well be good enough. A lot of that is going to depend on Al. Is he willing to play the power forward spot & pretend that he is his old buddy Antonio? (God knows I would prefer him to be like Dale but it's just not in him) Meaning getting rebounds, setting picks & being an asset on offense but not the focus of it?
I hope he does, but I'm not sure.
I think we go through the day like we go through on the vast majority of trade days, with nothing happeing, & in this case it's hard to argue that it was a horrid mistake.

"Harnessing Nature" describes how communities are using ecosystem-based tools to ameliorate severe weather risks that are likely to be worsened by climate change. After summarizing 2011's climate-related devastation, the report presents case studies on ecosystem restoration and enhancement to reduce the risk of floods (Missouri River floodplain restoration and St. John's River watershed restoration); heat waves and drought (New York's PlaNYC and Chicago's Green Infrastructure); wild fires (Sierra Nevadas' Dinkey landscape restoration and longleaf pine restoration), and sea level rise (Maryland's Living Shorelines and beach grass restoration in Texas). The report concludes with recommendations for broadening the use of ecosystem-based tools for adaptation to climate change.

NEW ORLEANS — It was a streetcar line some described as a line to nowhere.
But the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority's director of planning and scheduling on Thursday said that the new Loyola Avenue line, in operation for a little more than a month, already has seen a healthy ridership. That interest is something he predicts will grow with the addition of a new spur down North Rampart Street and St. Claude Avenue.
The route, which travels a sleepy stretch of Loyola between the Union Passenger Terminal and Canal Street, opened Jan. 28. Between its ribbon cutting and March 10, the line's ridership has totaled 52,878, according to figures provided by the RTA.
There were 35,030 riders in February, with a daily average of about 1,400. The monthly figure likely was buoyed by Carnival and the Super Bowl, said Stefan Marks, director of planning and scheduling for Veolia Transportation, which operates the RTA.
March saw 13,423 riders as of the 10th, according to the RTA figures. About 1,200 riders used the streetcar each day during that time frame.
"So far, I'm encouraged. Certainly it will take some time to build (ridership)," Marks said, adding that the numbers so far are "sort of what we were expecting."
The $53 million project was partially funded by a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant. According to the RTA's September 2009 application for the grant, the agency estimated daily ridership to be 2,410 by the end of its first year in service.
Marks said it will take time to grow the ridership.
The line is still in its infancy, he pointed out, and will take time to develop a following.
That could happen, he said, once Loyola Avenue begins to see new construction when a planned mixed-use development springs up and after the RTA links the Loyola line to a planned line on North Rampart Street and St. Claude Avenue that will end at Elysian Fields Avenue. That project is still in the design phase right now.
"We're talking about a longterm community investment," Marks said.
Meanwhile, some transportation observers say the line's riders could mostly be coming from the Freret and Martin Luther King bus lines that now end at the UPT, forcing riders onto the streetcar.
"Riders, I don't believe, are too happy with that position," said Rachel Heiligman, executive director of the nonprofit Ride New Orleans, said.
She agreed with Marks that the addition of the Rampart-St. Claude line is what will make the Loyola line useful. Beyond the bus and train station, two hotels and a small number of office buildings on the eight-block stretch of Loyola that the streetcar travels, there is little along the avenue for residents or tourists.
"At this moment the points it links are few and far between," Heiligman said.
Part of the grant application involved the RTA explaining how the line could spur economic development along the line.
While many of the projects the RTA cited in its 2009 grant application were already on the drawing board before the Loyola line was even approved, Marks and other RTA officials have previously said they expect the streetcar to continue to produce interest in the avenue.
"I think it's going to do what it's supposed to do," Marks said.

" Lulworth Cove has recently been placed into the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, this will hopefully sustain and preserve the areas outstanding beauty for years to come and also act as a pull to visitors. Lulworth Cove itself is a beautiful shell shaped cove, formed over millions of years, providing a great place to relax on the beaches, swim in the cove and also dive if you are daring to the many great spots in and out of the cove. There are also numerous guided boat trips leaving from the cove showing the highlights of the area, including Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door and other great coastal views! Don't forget your camera! "
Lulworth is situated on the Jurassic Coast in Dorset, south west of Poole before Weymouth. A very popular Cove locally and can often be very busy during the Summer. You can follow the signs for Lulworth Castle from Poole, and just carry on past the castle towards the coast. The Cove is a pebble enclosed beach in a cove several hundred metres round. Beautifully calm waters, lots of friendly people, lots of noisy dogs and some watersports users will accompany you to Lulworth! A lot of the area and land around Lulworth is MOD property so be careful and don't stray off the beaten path unless you know where you're going.
I only visited Lulworth as I visiting another local beach at Kimmeridge Bay, just up the road, highly recommended for surfing, much more beautiful and quieter, and a very good beach for fossils! I also visited Lulworth Castle while in the area which is also highly recommended.
Back to Lulworth Cove, there is a purpose made car park for a couple of hundred cars, and overflow up a hill for several hundred more cars, when we visited the overflow was almost full as well. I thought this must be good with this many people here! Parking costs were £3 for several hours, so very reasonable. You park just at the top of the village of Lulworth, there is very limited vehicle access further down, the village wasn't made for tourists.
There are several shops selling souvenirs (tat mostly!), an information centre with information on the Jurassic coast, and several public houses, most serving drink and food. You walk down past these from the car park to the pebble beach, the slipway leads you straight on the beach and into the middle of the cove, The entrance to the cove is dead ahead, and can't be more than 20 metres across giving tourists a great cove and beaches. You can walk all the way round both sides and also up the hills behind the beaches if you feel like exploring.
There were lots of people relaxing on the beach, also shared with lots of dogs also enjoying themselves on the beach and in the water. A really nice relaxing afternoon, shame we hadn't really bought anything prepared for going on the beach!
Lulworth Cove is a fantastic day out, it's part of the English south coast in-between Weymouth & Swanage. It is part of the Jurassic Coastline, one of Britain's main tourist sites. Which also includes Durdle door & Stair Hole. Lulworth Village is located a just 10 minute walk from the cove so this isn't too isolated and it can be reached by train the bus or by car.
Lulworth Cove is, as the name suggests a cove in a wonderfully beautiful shell shape. It has been formed by the sea slowly eroding the rocks within the cliffs, this has created a cove. The reason it has the edges which stick out, making it resemble a shell is because there was harder rock in those places which the sea hasn't been able to erode.
This naturally occurring phenomenon has also caused other tourist attractions within a 2km of the cove, these are Durdle Door which looks literally like a door has been cut into an piece of rock which juts out into the sea and Stair Hole, which is a small cove currently the size that Lulworth Cove would have been a few hundred years ago.
Lulworth Cove is split into three different sections. The beach is normally clear of rubbish and covered in rocks both big enough to climb over and small enough to pick up. Because it is a part of the Jurassic coastline there are also a lot of fossils, millions of years old amongst the rocks. The water itself is actually quite clear compared to most coastlines around the UK.
The water is actually quite clear compared to most beaches in the U.K although it does contain a lot of black patches which are very thick patches of seaweed under the surface. The sea is good to swim in but not barefooted as there are still a lot of rocks under the surface so be careful.
The third part of Lulworth Cove is actually on the other side of the hill to the cove, it consists of several sheer cliff faces which seem to drop straight down and twist at strange angles, they are very high and contain a lot of chalk which is easily visible where the cliffs have slipped out of their original alignment. This creates breathtaking views.
The Village of Lulworth, where you have to park your car is only a ten minute walk from the cove itself. It's a very nice little village with 17th century thatched cottages, a church, a food shop, a post office and in the car park a visitors centre where you can buy all the usual tourist items, borrow wetsuits etc and buy fossils, crystals and rocks from the local area whilst finding out all about the history of the area. You can also buy fish and chips, ice cream & wine so you won't go hungry.
There is plenty of things to do here, apart from enjoying the beautiful scenery you can also walk along the countryside paths, explore the woodland, go and see Durdle Door & Stair Hole, visit the beach and look for fossils etc, jet ski, swim or just have a picnic enjoying the views.
I went to visit Lulworth Cove with my husband, two of our friends and their kids. It was a fantastic day out, When we first arrived parking was quite easy, not only was their free parking throughout the village but there was also a car park next to the tourist centre so there was plenty of space.
First we went down to the cliff area and looked at the amazing view there, I really liked the patterns the rocks had made but it was a little high. We headed down to Durdle Door which only took about 20minutes to reach. To get to the door itself and the beach surrounding it we had to walk down some REALLY steep steps. I found that I had to step with my feet sideways as the steps were quite small and like miniature slops as the were so steep. Thankfully there was a handrail to hold onto although it was missing in some places. Our friends kids had to be carried down because it looked pretty dangerous. This is not suitable for disabled people or those who have a serious fear of heights. It was well worth the walk though, it's a fabulous sight.
After making it all the way back up the steps we headed for Lulworth cove, on the way you get a fantastic view which is well worth walking slowly to enjoy. Getting down to the beach was a lot easier than getting to Durdle Door although it would still be very difficult for disabled people. The kids were a little disappointed that there was no sand but they seemed to really enjoy looking for fossils, so did I for that matter. My husband & I managed to climb up onto one of the larger rocks and you get a beautiful view of the cove from there although you can see it all from the ground as well. Please be careful if you decide to climb rocks because it can be really dangerous.
At lunchtime we went back to the cars and got our picnic out. We found a really nice grassy area to sit and eat it in, it was great being able to eat with such a nice view, it's difficult to get a view like that in other parts of the country.
After finishing our picnic our friends & their kids went back to the beach to paddle in the sea (wearing beach shoes) and look for more fossils whilst my husband & I went to look at the boats which were dotted around the cove, we couldn't get very close to any but it's a nice romantic spot to walk round.
At about 3pm we all met up and went to the gift shop. I bought a few crystals there, I really like them and have quite an extensive collection already, the best part about them is that they are local and have come from the cove itself. My husband also bought some fossils which were local too. Our friends bought postcards and their kids bought some rock.
We wandered around having a last look about before going to get an early tea of fish & chips, which was really nice and great quality, you get to eat them in a nice picnic area with picnic tables outside. It was a really enjoyable meal.
Overall we really enjoyed our day and I would recommend it to everybody, except the disabled who may find it difficult to get around. It has stunning views and plenty to do. The perfect day out!!
just got back from lulworth cove ,
won,t be going back !
as a disabled driver i was treated like a second class citizen,
there were only ten disabled bays all full, four of which were taken by cars without a blue badge
i was told i had to park at the far end of the car park ,when i pointed to empty spaces closer to the cove i was told i could not use them as they were for motorbikes yet they were empty ! so if your disabled don,t go to lulworth
un less you can ride a motor bike .
Yours R D Fraser
Lulworth cove is situated on the south coast of England in Western Europe. Lulworth is located on the Jurassic coast and is just over ten miles from Weymouth. The isle of Purbeck is not an island but a peninsula.
Lulworth Cove is known for its beauty and heritage. With Durdle door, stair hole and the man O war rocks all within a 2km walk away, it certainly is a place of beauty and tranquillity. I have been here twice; once on my duke of Edinburgh expedition with this area being my final destination, so that we could go and explore the area and another trip a few weeks back, and I found his trip the most exciting where I could kick back and relax.
Lulworth Cove has occurred in the area due to the types of rocks, and where they are in the Lulworth Cove area. The Wealden rocks, the softest of them all, has made the cove rounder in the edges. The Lulworth crumple has occurred over many millions of years, and this area is a fossil beach because it is thought to be believed that dinosaurs were on this part of land. There is a heritage centre in the village of Lulworth where you can find out the history of the area, and buy any fossils or shells. Its a lovely walk around, and you get to find out all you need to know about Lulworth cove.
Durdle Door is an arch made of Portland rock. There is a lovely shingle beach just behind it to lay your towels down and sunbathe on. Durdle door is a 2km walk up and down a hill or steps from Lulworth cove, and if you feel adventurous, you can do a nine mile walk from Lulworth Cove to Weymouth if you are a serious walker, all along the heritage coastal path. Just like Durdle door, the man o war rocks are 2km away as well, just down the other side of the steps of Durdle door. The man o war rocks have a cave and a sandy beach if you feel like laying or playing volleyball on softer sand. The sea is a lovely turquoise colour on this beach.
Lulworth Cove is a pebble beach with lots of rocks if you fancy climbing over them (like I did) but I recommend you do this with extreme care. Lulworth cove have many boats inside, for fishermen, or for own pleasure.
In the village, you can buy fresh fish if you are staying in the area and fancy cooking your own meal. Back in the neatly presented car park, there is the heritage centre and a building of tourist shops next to it. One of these shops is where you can hire jet skis or boats or wetsuits for the day. We never got the chance to do this but it does sound fun. There is also a fish and chip shop, an ice cream parlour, a wine shop and one other tourist shop. Although both the heritage centre and the small shopping building are modern, they fit in well with the rest of the village by having a design of an older building.
The whole village is small, with small cafes, huts selling souvenirs, small shops selling crystals, shells, pebbles, postcards, rock; anything you could want in a souvenir shop. There is also a lovely looking hotel with vines running up all around the outside of the building. It looks so good that I actually wished I could have stayed the night and done more walking the next morning.
Overall, this is a brilliant day trip or a weekend stay, especially in the height of summer, when the weather is at its best. The area is attractive and old looking from the top of the hill on the way to Durdle Door, and the views you get are breathtaking. They are truly superb and gorgeous. The best thing about this area is the breathtaking scenery and views you see. You can take the whole family, let the kids paddle in the sea while you can get a tan, and then have a picnic or takeaway meal from the village. Or, you can get fit by walking to Durdle Door and Man O war rocks, and then just chill out, relax and sunbathe for the rest of the time. I give this area a ten out of ten for just being fab!

How to get there
You can catch a train to Bournemouth or Weymouth and change there, then get the next train to wool. From wool, catch a bus to Lulworth cove. You can check timings and prices online at south west trains and see how many changes you have to take.
Or alternatively, you can travel by car and in that case, I advise you use this website to give you directions of how to get there;

"I'm in Because No One Should Have to Choose Between Serving Their Country Or Living Openly"
On Facebook, on Twitter, here on the new campaign website, and in their own social networks, supporters are coming together to share why they're in. Aracyn is in because our country deserves leadership that believes in equality:
When I was younger I wanted nothing more than to be a soldier in the US Army. However, as I got older I realized that it was going to be difficult to hide the person I am... a proud member of the LGBT community.
I'm in because... I don't want anyone else to have to choose between serving our country or living and loving openly and honestly.
And I want to know that my president truly believes that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

@New ARch
So they're just contacting the best candidates first, or they're just doing it alphabetically or randomly?
@ Bwatson
No, I'm talking about Washington U in St. Louis (WUSTL).
I am waiting for UW Seattle as well.
Has anyone heard anything from University of Minnesota? An email from the department in early Feb. said they expected to announce decisions starting March 1st.
In case this helps you a bit... I checked online the admissions notification dates for the programs (M.Arch I)I am waiting for:
GSD - Early March
U Penn - March 14th - Results available Online
UBC - Middle March
Berkeley - End of March
MIT - April 1
U of Oregon - April 1
Columbia - First week of April
U of Washington -No later than April 15th
Hope it helps.
I just got an email from I.I.T. with the official offer for admission. They gave me AP plus $24k.
Good luck everyone!
Congrats on the scholarship:)
Are you an international student? just wanted to know if they give scholarship to international students.
Thanks! Yes I am, I didn't even apply for it so I was very surprised/excited for it. Are you applying to IIT?
Got admitted to IIT with advance standing. A few days ago they sent me the official letter, but they didn't mention any thing about funding. So I think that I didn't get it.
Congrats! Maybe we will meet over there. Where else did you apply?
I think it is the Northeast... but I'm not sure about that, I might go look that up...
Ugh! I just want to know you know? I want to know if I should be sad or happy. SOMETHING.
It's obsessive to check your email every 5 minutes. Also! Check your junk email often, current colleagues of mine told me they didn't see their email until later because it got sent there.
@New ARch
That does give me some hope! That they're scattering the results.
Anyone know about Cornell?
actually, im muucchhh more into the scientific/engineering aspect of architecture than the artistic one... because it provides an irrefutable, robust, raison d'etre... so im aware of the passive design strategies and technological innovations that SOMETIMES come into place.. but the prob is that MOST of the times design is carried out in such an arbitrary, subjective way that it is left to the artistic opinion of the designer. It starts with the program organized into extruded boxes, and a subsequent "dressing up" of these boxes... the goal seems to be the nice composition of beautiful boxes, and the architecture ends up looking "nice".. but not much else, so boring seems an appropriate description. It is this design method aimed towards achieving an elegant, muted demure mainly thru the reliance of artistic instinct that i find very old school. Most of the works here are so derivative and safe that it is rarely intellectually engaging or aiming to do anything new. Its just business as usual... hence boring.
Just got ACCEPTED TO MARCH 1 AT GSD via email!!!!!
I'm not trolling, I've been refreshing my email every five minute.
Looks like no one else got it yet, but let's see if we hear more good news from GSD!
This was my third try at GSD, so I feel very emotional right now.
I wish you all the best with the 2013 acceptances. Never give up. I didn't. If GSD didn't accept me this time, I was to literally never reapply due to their policy.
Just got accepted to GSD! I'm shaking from excitement!! Check your email guys!
Congratulations @ ciennac!! Third time's the charm!! I'm glad your hard work paid off.
So far (M.Arch. I):
In: Harvard GSD, YSOA, Taubman.
Waiting: MIT, PennDesign
Pretty excited to look through these programs again, congratulations to everyone who just got accepted into Harvard :)
accepted to GSD! Unbelievable and such a relief after waiting for so long.
For people who are sharing their results - it would be helpful to hear anything about your background that you are willing to share:
Undergrad degree
GRE scores
That's right. You're the guy who thinks M.Arch 3s (or M.Arch 1s at the Ivys) are strange birds.
OTOH, kudos to all of you with the balls to undertake the 3+ M.Archs. if you a) either wanted to be an architect earlier in your life, or b) your studies in civ. eng., const. mgt., interior design, or WHATEVER steered you toward architecture and you are taking that route.
Congrats to all the GSD acceptances, guys! Impressive! So excited for everyone achieving their goals!
to the WUSTL acceptances, what program did you get placed in? 3, 2+, 2?
Big Congs to all the GSD acceptances, are you all M.arch 1?
So is it safe to assume that not having an email from the GSD means a no?... Were there any for MArch II? Congrats to everyone on their acceptances to Harvard!
yes... has anyone been accepted to MArch II or MArch 1 AP? I hope they haven't gotten to those yet.
im waiting on M. arch II too
Has anybody who has been accepted to UMich planning on going?
i think they sent out all the acceptance email first and waitlisting or others later
got into u of h! no email from gsd so i guess i'm out
Hey guys- Congrats! Lelf.estrada- I am also waiting on MDesS. What program did you apply to? I applied to the real estate program.
got call from U.VA!
bummer. no email yet either. this limbo is slowly sapping my life-force (even though it's not looking good...)
Lets not all call the number and get their bees in a bonnet
Why do they do this? Reject people first then give acceptances out later.. makes everyone crazy!
hey congrats to those accepted so far!
just heard from gsd
mdes and maud for 2013
still waiting for MIT and Columbia.
Twix ^ You got into mdess and maud- both programs? Congrats. What mdess concentration did you get in for?
I'll copy and paste from the applicants thread a while back.

Best of luck to those still awaiting their decisions!
@realestate 101
thanks! yes, i got into both programs. mdes concentration in risk and resilience.
fingers crossed for everyone!
Why do they do this? Reject people first then give acceptances out later.. makes everyone crazy!
I once spoke to the graduate architecture admissions office at a popular school with about a 1 in 8 acceptance ratio. They know right away from the pile who they want and who do they don't want. They wait a little bit, in layers, to see which of those they want will accept their offer. They then work out the wait listed group, if at all. Sometimes, the yield ratio is higher than they want, targeting about 25 to 35 spots, and they don't like it when they get a larger class than they had anticipated ... even by 5 or 10 people.

So I've really been enjoying the new Depeche Mode song "Wrong". As a superfan each new album floods my brain with memories of years gone by. One way I knew Depeche Mode were special was the fact that no other band could really sound like them. A few came close with a song here or there such as Camouflage's The Great Commandment but in general the clones never arrived. Usually when you have a super strong band it's creates a genre on it's own… Nirvana as an example. It's true you could attribute synthpop to DM but let's face facts, most of that music is terrible.
I find it pretty amusing that one of the best Depeche Mode style songs comes to us as a joke. Take a listen below to Liam Lynch's Fake Depeche Mode Song. If Liam ever wanted to be big in the German goth scene it would be pretty easy for him.
"Lynch also made the album Fake Songs, released in 2003, produced by his own company, 111 Productions. This album featured the song "United States of Whatever", which charted in the Top 10 in the United Kingdom and Australia. It is one of the shortest songs to get to the Top 10 in both countries. The song did get Lynch a place in the Guiness Book of World Records for shortest UK song to go top ten. Liam Lynch is also known for directing music videos. He's worked with Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, Spinnerette, and No Doubt. In 2003 he directed the UK music video for the Foo Fighters single "Times Like These", although it was rarely played in the United States." – Wikipedia.org
Clearly the best lyric here is, "You can't see me because I'm wearing black.".
