What do you have to do to get a place on Go Higher? By Claire Jones
This time of year is always interesting for the tutors on Go Higher as it is when we get to meet the people who may become our students next year. Applications are at their busiest now, as offers of places are made by the end of July and we begin the new academic year at the start of September.
This last few weeks I have got to meet people from many different backgrounds and ages, all with unique stories as to why they want to do Go Higher, most with a view to starting an undergraduate degree programme in September 2016. This is not the only reason people apply to us however and some students join us undecided as to what they want to do next after completing the course. They come to Go Higher to widen their options, experience being a part-time student and to have a second chance at higher education.
On campus and online: life as a student on Go Higher by Claire Jones
Since our students are only on campus for one day on a Wednesday, on Go Higher we use a range of strategies to support them during the rest of the week when they may be working, at home looking after a family or doing other things. In this way, we can provide teaching and contact to help students complete any research and assignments they need to complete for class. One of our most vital tools is VITAL – The University's online platform for learning (view one of our online lectures below).
Nerves, trepidation & expectation: students' reflections on their first day on Go Higher
Starting something new nearly always prompts anxious feelings; however returning to study after a long time away from education is probably more daunting than most. We asked some past Go Higher access students, now all half way through their degree at the University of Liverpool, how they remembered their first day with us:
What's a typical Go Higher student?
January is the time when the Go Higher application system speeds up for people wanting to commence study on our part-time access course in September, with a view to beginning their undergraduate degrees in September 2016 (applications are open now if you're one of them).
Over the last few months we have been doing some research into people who completed Go Higher two to three years ago and who are now in the first, second or third years of their undergraduate degree programme. The aim was to get a picture of a typical Go Higher student.
From Lightning to a Scholarship in a Flash by Bernadette McBride
It only seems like yesterday that I was heading to the Go Higher department of the University of Liverpool for the first time, to be interviewed for a place on their fast-track humanities based access course. My journey and preparation for the interview was blighted by my train station having been struck by lightning resulting in me being several hours late (a likely story) but true. A panicked phone call to Go Higher's trusty administrator Anne and some serious public transport navigation later, I arrived at my destination.
What the class of 2014 did next by Claire Jones
Next week will see this year's freshers arrive on campus at the University of Liverpool, as at most other university campuses across the UK. Among these will be a considerable number of Go Highers who completed our part-time access programme successfully last summer and who have won for themselves places on a range of undergraduate programmes starting this September.
Building confidence in learning is VITAL by Carol Brown
I and a teaching colleague recently attended the University's Learning and Teaching Conference 2014 to share some of the methods we use on the Go Higher programme. The weekly Knowledge Reviews which feature on our social science modules prompted interesting debate and underlined the value of blended learning (combining online and face-to-face tuition).
The close of one chapter and the start of another. By Helen Mallinson
Yesterday I handed in my last three assignments for Go Higher, sat my history exam and said farewell to the tutors, mentors and fellow students I have shared the last nine months with. Go Higher is a brilliant course run by the University of Liverpool which allows mature students (anyone from 21 years up) to gain access to university so they can get the degree they've always wanted to do. These students come from all kinds of backgrounds and have all sorts of stories to tell about how and why they missed out on university education the first time round.
Does age matter? By Claire Jones
Chief of UCAS (the organisation that manages applications to UK universities) has caused a bit of a stir this week by saying that university is sometimes 'wasted' on the young as teenagers often choose the wrong degree courses and may 'sleepwalk' into an undergraduate programme. Mary Curnock Cook, as reported in the Daily Telegraph, urged school leavers to defer a degree until they were in their 20s or 30s to ensure they made the right decision. But is that the only reason why it is an advantage to go to University as a mature student?
Those Dorothy Moments! Life's crossroads by Carol Brown
What a pleasure to meet the latest Go Higher students in the session Claire Jones asked me to deliver about my experience as a mature student. Currently on secondment in the Corporate Communications dept of the University, it was great to return to my spiritual home and find out how some of the students I had the pleasure of interviewing last summer are getting along. Having been a mature student myself, completing my Masters at the University of Salford at 35 and my teaching qualification at the University of Chester in my forties, I can definitely identify with some of the pressure that the 'Go Highers' will be feeling now as final assessments are due.

The APAG05PoE is a unique approach to the RF Power Amplifier. This unit is designed to function as an amplifier as well as transferring data over the same CAT-5e line that carries the DC power supply. This flexibility allows the APAG05PoE to be mounted in a very tight space.
This module uses the Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology designed for high power 2.4GHz ISM band. The applications in this band include WLAN, Bluetooth, Point to Point (P2P), and Point to Multi-Point (P2MP) systems. The Booster Module enhances the coverage and stabilizes the transmitted data rate of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) in both indoor and outdoor applications, such as 802.11b, 802.11b+, 802.11g and 802.11b+g.
For Tx, we use a proprietary high-power, high-efficiency, linear amplifier MMIC which is manufactured on an advanced Gallium Arsenide Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor (HBT) to get low current consumption and better heat effect. In WLAN applications, it produces a continuous RF output power of 2000mW (+32 dBm) under the 802.11b spectral mask.

Bravo Quvenzhane!
CS tells you a bit about the little star:
>> Quvenzhané Wallis, born on August 28, 2003, is an American child actress.
>> She is the youngest actress ever to receive a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
>> She is currently attending Hounduras Elementary School in Houma, Louisiana. She has an older sister, Qunyquekya, and two older brothers, Vejon and Venjie Jr.
>> At the age of five, Quvenzhané had to lie about her age to audition for her very first acting job-the starring role in Beasts of the Southern Wild because the minimum age to be considered was six. She eventually beat out some 4,000 contenders. She was just six years old during the making of the film.

Niagara residents who receive their drinking water from the Decew Falls Water Treatment Plant (residents of St. Catharines, Niagara-on the-Lake, Thorold and Lincoln) may notice a musty/earthy taste or odour in their tap water.
Changes in taste and odour are caused naturally by seasonal changes affecting the conditions of source water, with late August being a particularly common time to see these types of changes. These seasonal conditions can result in naturally occurring elements in the water that result in a musty/earthy smell and taste that may be detectable to some people at very low levels. Depending on weather conditions, these tastes and odours may continue for a couple of weeks.
While the temporary change in taste or odour may be noticeable to some, the tap water supplied by the municipal water supply systems remains safe to drink during these episodes and there is no health risk.
Niagara Region is making every effort to reduce the impact of the seasonal changes to source water. The Water Treatment Plants are equipped with filtration systems designed to reduce the effects of changes in taste and odour but may not always eliminate them entirely. The Region has increased the frequency of sampling to test for the parameters which affect taste and odour of drinking water and all results continue to be within the acceptable quality levels.
Residents who experience taste and odour issues with their tap water can use water pitcher filter systems to help reduce or eliminate the tastes and odours. Storing water in a loosely sealed glass container in the refrigerator for a period of time before drinking can also help.

sort by best latest
I have some sympathy for the position put forward by The Rising Glory, and I might say something similar if religion was only ever presented to adults, but it isn't. When a child gets hold of a gun and hurts someone, we don't really blame the child. They were exposed to a weapon they had no way to understand. Considering the MASSIVE amount of indoctrination of children by religion, I don't think the "religion does not generate hate" argument holds up so well.
Taught intolerance is a weapon no kid should ever be exposed to and can be an extremely difficult mindset to break free from.
T0 me all children are indoctrinated - It's called learning. So who do we want to indoctrinate our kids? That answer would be different for each person. What one person calls intolerant another person calls right. Who sets the pace?
I'm being honest in saying that I chose this as the best answer because it agrees with my own understanding. Indoctrination is the instilling of an opinion or belief whereas teaching is the imparting of knowledge and facts such as 1+1=2 for example.
I think your question is posed wrong. It is like the argument that guns kill. In reality guns do not kill, people kill. Or we could say money generates hate. Money is just a tool used as a medium of exchange, yet many murders and injuries have been the result of that exchange. It's not the money it's the people involved.
Religion does not generate hate, people generate hate. People have the freedom to choose whatever belief system they want, so if a person wants to align themselves with the White Supremest that doctrine will produce the manifestation of hate. But it all came from the decision of the individual.
Pretty much exactly what I was going to say as well.
Religion does not generate hate. The egos of the world generate the hate. If God is love then God would be love. I do not know where people get the idea that the are doing God's work if they are doing anything other than loving life of all lvining beings. This is true for all religions.
It is said that people have the ability to choose, if that is true then it does not even matter what God is, it matters what they will choose to hate or to love. Using God or the Devil as an excuse is what many people tehnd to do, then they want to claim how great this idea of free will is supposed to be.
Some days I would rather not have a free will and let God take full control then I would have the right to credit God for all my actions "good" or "bad".
Besides not all traditions claim God is all love. This may also be part of the issue.
Best wishes
I agree with you that "the rules that we're "suppose" to live by are not followed by "religious people" But I don't agree that "the rules that we're "suppose" to live by have no place in this day in age". Christianity is a Faith in a Living Person and a totally moral Creator . The problem with relgion it is not based on Faith but on performance. Perform well enough and we please God (who is as fickle as we are). But believe in Faith based on Jesus paying the price of Sin for us, and we're not under the pressure of a performance based system. It's the performance based system that's the problem - which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. And I will agree it includes a lot of churches.
That's exactly what I'd like to know. I actually wrote a hub about that subject. Religion is a scam to me and it always has been. And the rules that we're "suppose" to live by have no place in this day in age and no one follows them anyway, not even religious people.

Nissan Motor Company says it will cut back production at two car assembly plants in Japan for three months starting in April, reflecting a sharp slide in its domestic sales.
Japan's market for full-sized and compact cars has been on a steady decline as demand shifts to fuel-efficient 660cc mini-vehicles, but Nissan has suffered bigger drops than its rivals due to a slim line-up of new models.
To adjust inventory levels, Nissan said production would move to a single shift from two shifts between April and June at the Oppama and Tochigi plants, which assemble about a dozen models ranging from the March subcompact to the Infiniti Q45 sport utility vehicle.
Nissan, Japan's third-biggest automaker and held 44 per cent by Renault SA, declined to say how many vehicles would be lost. The two plants have a combined annual output capacity of about 740,000 units.
But a spokeswoman said production in Japan for the export market as well as output overseas would rise in the new business year starting next month, resulting in a net increase in global production for 2007/08.
Nissan has also idled one of three lines at another factory in Kyushu, southern Japan, indefinitely since last September due to slow sales of the Teana high-end sedan.
For the first two months of this year, Nissan's sales of non-mini vehicles in Japan fell 16 per cent to 100,623 units, while the overall market shrank by 9.4 per cent.
Its mini-vehicle sales surged 24 per cent in the same period, but those are supplied by Suzuki Motor Corp and Mitsubishi Motors Corp..
Aiming to repair its tattered domestic operations, Nissan on Friday announced a management reshuffle that would allow Chief Operating Officer Toshiyuki Shiga to focus on Japan and remove what Nissan refers to as the general overseas markets from his duties.
Colin Dodge, a senior vice president currently in charge of manufacturing and purchasing, will join the nine-member management committee to take Shiga's place heading the collective market which excludes Japan, North America and Europe.
In another major change, Chief Executive Officer Carlos Ghosn will be relieved of his responsibility as the top official in charge of the Americas to focus on his dual task of heading Nissan and Renault.
Hiroto Saikawa, now an executive vice president assigned to the European market, will take over the region from Ghosn.
The latest management modifications, to take effect on April 1, will add two members to the seven-man executive committee.
Ghosn is under pressure to jump-start disappointing profits and sales at both Renault and Nissan.
Last month, the Frenchman promised to draw up additional measures to help Nissan meet its targets under a three-year plan after the company forecast a first full-year earnings drop under his watch. That announcement is due next month.
"The priority for our new management team is to act decisively on the multiple challenges facing Nissan and to boost our overall performance in 2007," Ghosn was quoted as saying in a statement.

The brand new AU Falcon ute was an awful long time coming. If you consider that the just superceded Falcon ute was based on the XD ute that launched in 1979, you soon work out that the design was a full 20 years old.
That's a long time in vehicle design terms, even considering the ute is a commercial vehicle, which traditionally has a longer model cycle than a passenger car.
Clearly, the old ute was struggling to stay with the pack in just about every area of design. And while Ford is very positive about the new AU Falcon ute, you'd be surprised how close the whole ute concept came to being left to die.
In the '80s, the plan was to simply let the ute fade away, along with the panel van, as the models were seen to be less important than Ford Australia now realise they are.
The big problem was the development costs of spinning a ute (and panel van) off the then-new EA Falcon platform. Combine the reported $800 million Ford spent on the EA and the early quality problems it had with the car and the ute project just got too hard.
Instead, Ford chose to continue stamping out XF Utes (the third-generation incarnation of the XD) until it ran out of the old 4.1-litre engines (which it was still making) or until demand waned to the point where dealers didn't want any more stock. The thinking was that the older XD-based design would soon lose its appeal.
What no-one stopped to consider was that there's a whole sub-culture of tradespeople and small-business operators who rely on vehicles such as sedan-based utes on a daily basis. And since the Holden ute had died and wouldn't be revived until 1991, these buyers were being grudgingly forced into Japanese-built commercial vehicles that had neither the performance or style of a traditional Aussie ute.
So by the time the AU Falcon was in the planning stages, the decision had been made to bite the bullet and engineer a ute for the next century, based on the AU Falcon station wagon.
That, however, left Ford with a bit of a problem.
The old model Falcon Ute was still selling strongly enough to justify its existence, but the 4.1-litre in-line six-cylinder was at the end of its lifespan.
The solution came in 1993, about 12 months after the upgrade of the entire Falcon sedan and wagon range to the 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine. By tipping some, but not too much, money into the ute, Ford re-engineered the front-end architecture to allow it to fit the Falcon-spec six-cylinder engine.
That model was called the XG and brought with it a subtle but effective change to the bonnet, front guards and grille that made the ute look more or less like an EB sedan (from the front anyway).
Ford Australia also dusted off its marketing team at this point and came up with some new names to inject a little pizzazz into the ute now that it was going to stick with the theme for the foreseeable future. Two interesting models were introduced with such Aussie names you couldn't help but get Ford's message.
The Longreach was a value-added pack that took the basic ute to the next level in terms of visual appeal. It was aimed at the owner-driver who might use the vehicle on weekends, leaving the GLi ute to the fleets and mining industry.
An even more interesting model was the Outback, which was a good device. Launched in 1995, the Outback was a serious piece of equipment. Available only with the 4.0-litre six (the return of the V8 Falcon ute was still another couple of years away) the Outback added a clever, locally developed differential called the Hydra-Trak, to the running gear. With the extra traction that provided the big wheels and tyres with their aggressive tread pattern, a well-driven Outback would actually go a lot of places light-duty four-wheel drives would have struggled to arrive at.
To make the most of the vehicle's outback mile-eating abilities, Ford also added long-range fuel tanks.
The final chapter came in 1997 with the XH, with another facelift that saw a softer, more rounded roofline and some detail changes front and rear.
The model line-up continued pretty much as it was, but the big news was the return of the 5.0-litre V8 engine. This time around it was, of course, fuel-injected and it also spawned a Tickford-modified XR8 to go with the XR6 that had been around since the 1993 upgrade to XG specification.
With the AU Falcon now here, the older models look pretty outdated. And of course, that's exactly what they've been for some time. But they're good workers and they're good value, and that's what utes are all about.
What to pay
Early XDs could be had six-cylinder and V8 engines, and the latter type will always add at least $1,000 to the asking price.
Any Falcon ute from 1979 onwards worth bothering with will cost at least $3,000 and prices only go up from there.
A late model Outback will still be in the low-20s while an XH XR8 is worth more than $30,000 if it's a clean one.
Those prices should all soften a little now with the AU on the streets, but a good ute will always be worth good money.

Now, as any good internet troll (or increasingly authoritarian president) knows, there's no such thing as bad attention. Indeed, there's an argument to be made that the main goal of being a jackass via social media and comments sections (or the White House briefing room) may actually be to garner "bad" attention, in the form of outrage and a livid response of some kind. The bonus of others somehow agreeing is largely just gravy at that point.
- Your Big Guide To DC's 'Justice League' Movie: News, Rumors, Spoilers, Trailers & All You Need To Know
As such, it really shouldn't surprise us when trolls (whether on Twitter or in Mar-a-Lago) say ridiculous things in relation to perfectly normal statements, since misconstruing actual logic is one of the most effective ways to get most folks all riled up. Speaking of which:
'Aquaman' Director James Wan Just Got Shouted At By DC Fans (For No Reason)
It all started when #JamesWan, the man tasked with bringing #JasonMomoa's distinctive take on #Aquaman to the big screen in 2018, responded to a question on Twitter about the aquatic heroes traditional comic book sidekick, Aqualad, in determinedly polite fashion:
Which, somewhat inevitably, led to fellow Twitterers responding with (possibly tongue-in-cheek) dismay:
To which Wan, being a professional film director and all, offered up a slice of pretty darned persuasive logic: With film fans having not yet met Aquaman, he suggested, it would be a little much to throw Aqualad into the mix right away. The only problem? Wan expressed that thought via the medium of a #Batman metaphor...
...and, somewhat inevitably, a small section of the internet didn't get that at all:
Which, because James Wan apparently hasn't yet had his heart paved with the requisite stone to survive social media, led to the director being mildly yet politely infuriated:
Which is actually a pretty perfect response when you think about it, especially since the Twitterer to whom he was responding was totally on board with Wan's bit:
All of which should teach us all three key lessons: 1) All Batman-related analogies and metaphors will be misconstrued by at least one person on the internet, 2) Twitter trolls are a pain in the butt, even when they don't have access to nuclear codes, and 3) Aqualad almost certainly isn't going to be turning up in the #DCEU anytime soon.
But, then again, we already knew all of that, right?
What do you think, though? Are you upset that we won't be seeing Aqualad in Aquaman? Let us know below!

Lee Sin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Wazzup guys?! This my first guide so it may not be the best, but im sure it will help you in you in learning Lee Sin. He is my favourite champion 'cause of his power in early game. If you get feed at the beggining of the game, the rest is easy...but if not the late game will be a problem for you. It's a hard champion but fun to play! Enjoy my guide and please vote ^^ !
Pros / Cons
+Good at jungle/ counter jungle
+Nice combos
+Fun to play
+Very good ganker
+Has 7 abilities
[color=#008000]+[/color]Has energy , not mana
-Not the best in late game
-He is nothing when silenced
-Hard to aim his skills
-Bad against tanks
Here is an intersting thing! You can choose either to play aggressive (only ad) or balanced offensive (ad, armor penetration, magic resist). I like to play agressive, even if a bit strange. If i need armor penetration i ussualy take last whisper durig the game.
Skill Sequence
If you are solo top you must start with Q ability. Now it depens if the enemy wants to fight or not. If he does choose W ability because its better when 1 on 1 and if not take the E to slow him down while chasing with Q.
If your in jungle, start with E ability to hit all minions, then go for W so you can have armor and lifesteal. Use Q the last for the ganks.
Thats the best part of the tutorial :D
The first one is when ganking: After you decide to gank let the enemie push a bit, then use Safe Gurad/ Iron Will to dash to your allie, then Tempest/ Cripple to slow down your enemy and continuing to hit him with aa or use Sonic Wave/ Resonating Strike while waiting for cooldowns. Dont forget to use your passive Flurry to regain your energy! Thats one way to gank under lvl 6, but after you got the ulti its easier. First use Sonic Wave/Resonating Strike to reach the enemy, then Tempest/Cripple or Exhaust to slow him down. After this try to get in front of him and use Dragon's Rage to knock him back to your turret or your allie, and keep hitting until he dies.
Now that was the gank. When 1 vs 1 until lvl 6 your best friend is your passive. Being very powerfull in the early game you must do as many kills as you can at that time. Try to use Safe Quard/ Iron will as much as you can because it gives you lifesteal and armor and if he tries to escape slow him down with Tempest/ Cripple and chase him with Sonic Wave/ Resonating Strike. When you fight, asa i said, your best friend its the passive because it gives you 40% attack speed for your next 2 auto attacks and you gain 15 energy for each hit. So for exemple you use Sonic Wave/ Resonating strike dont use'm both 1 imediatly after another. First do sonic wave, hit him twice (becuase of passive) and then use resoonating strike.
Now after lvl 6 its intersting :D. You must use the same thinghs i told you earlier. We all now that is quite hard to get in front of the enemy to use Dragon's Rage when 1 on 1 and knock him back to our turret... so if you just wanna take damage with your ulti use this: Sonic Wave, Dragons Rage, Resonating Strike and get back in the fight after you took a lot of damage =). Dont forget that your ulti also knocks in the air and takes damage to all enemys that are hit by the one you used the ulti on.

Kambrook makes boiling water safer for seniors
No need to lift and pour a heavy boiling kettle any longer. Alternatively, the handy instant stop button can be pressed once the cup is full to help eliminate any chance of spillage making this an easy-to-use and worry free alternative to the kettle.
The Mini-Urn heats water to 98 degrees Celsius in under a minute and holds up to two litres (or eight cups) of water in its reservoir for less refilling.
The wide, clear view water chamber visibly shows how many cups of water remain in the reservoir and the simple one touch pop-up lid means the Mini-Urn is easy to refill.
The Mini-Urn also saves on ever-increasing energy costs by only boiling the amount of water required. The Mini-Urn boils and dispenses only the amount of water selected on the volume control dial, up to 350ml, not all the water in the urn. And as it boils and dispenses water in less than a minute, it is much faster than a conventional kettle. For just $79.95, it is an affordable appliance.
The Kambrook Mini-Urn is a safe and convenient one-cup-at-a time solution for any home.
Kambrook 2 Litre Mini-Urn (KUR200) - $79.95 RRP

From the pits to the pitch
Learn the dark side of design: the client.
This workshop is addressed to young designers who are finishing or have just completed their studies, and are preparing to swim in the deep: participants may have already worked as freelancers or in a team setting; they may have already earned money from their work, or none of the above.
At this workshop, you will encounter the dark side of design: the client.
Badly composed briefs, impossible delivery deadlines, non-existent budgets and strange characters: over three days, together we will experience actual work conditions, with coworkers and competitors, specs and deliverables, from the first meet-and-greet to the final pitch.
Leaving this workshop, in addition to the first project that your newly established team/company will have completed, you will have learned both complex work methodologies for creative professions (agile) and simple tricks of the trade (always pay attention to the silent one), which will bring you closer to your goal: living off of the profession you live, by picking your own clients!
Required participant skills Participants must be seniors or graduates of Graphic Design schools and be competent in the use of the English language as required in a professional environment.
Equipment Laptop with installed Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign (preferably CS version or later), depending on the participants' skills. Plain notepad and pencil or pen
Ad Axem creates digital products, provides UX design services and organises industry events and workshops. We work across business, technical, visual and marketing levels, to ensure that the final product experience does not degrade because of politics, budgets and strong personalities. We think hard and play even harder, not only from a design perspective, but on project management and engineering aspects, mitigating risk for you (and us).

Small Steps on the Long Road Ahead for Syria
Yesterday, Secretary of State John Kerry met with his counterparts from ten Arab and European countries to push for a renewed diplomatic effort to resolve the ongoing civil war in Syria. While the partner countries are said to be on the same page pushing for new talks in Geneva, the moderate rebel forces remain divided and wary of entering the peace talks. Meanwhile, on the ground there is steady progress in chemical weapons inspections and disposal, but many questions still remain. The renewed diplomatic push is a positive step, but even a hard-earned political deal is only the beginning of a long road for Syria. Diplomatic push for peace talks puts international community on same page, but moderate opposition still undecided. U.S., Arab and European… Read More ›

Calling A Locksmith? Read These Top Tips First!
Have you accidentally locked yourself out of the house or your car? Are you not sure how to proceed? This situation can impact any of us at any given moment, and as a next step you need to call the best locksmith you can afford. The information in this article will help you get the best person possible for the job.
Research anyone you plan to hire. You'll want to ensure they're reputable and reliable. There are scammers out there and people who will make unauthorized duplicates, so be careful.
Cover up all of your locks before painting. It might take a while to cover each lock, but that pales in comparison to the time a locksmith will take to change all of the locks.
It is possible to get around additional costs by using a locksmith only during regular business hours. The "after hours" costs of locksmiths varies wildly. For instance, it normally costs about $50 for locksmith services to assist with a car lockout, but after hours, the fee could be $100 or more.
You need to ensure that the person you hire is working for your best interests in mind. Some scammers will make duplicates without your key so they can rip you off later on.
If you get a price on the phone and then a locksmith wants you to pay more after they show up, tell them you are no longer interested in the service they offer. You have many other options available to you, so don't put up with unnecessary increases or dishonest locksmiths .
Be wary of a locksmith who increase the quote once they arrive at your location. This is just a way to get extra money on many unsuspecting consumers.
Before you let a locksmith inside your home, make sure he gives you a few references and professional recommendations. After this is done, you should take it a step further and give them a call. Not only should you hire a quality locksmith, you need to be able to trust them entirely.
Avoid extra expenses by calling the locksmith during his normal business hours. The price a locksmith cost can vary widely after hours. The after hours fees can almost double or more the standard fee after hours.
You want to make sure the locksmith is credentialed before entering your home. Check on both the address and phone number, making certain that they match the business and the individual. You can also run a search on the web to find out whether the majority of people have had negative or positive experiences with the locksmith.
Do not use a locksmith that changes their quote upon arrival.There are many locksmiths out there who want to rip you to deal with one that is not upfront and honest with you.
The World Wide Web is invaluable when it comes to finding a locksmith. Many people leave reviews based on their experiences. The types of reviews tell you about the locksmith. These reviews can come in handy when you are looking to hire a locksmith.
One of the first questions to ask a locksmith is how many years they have ran their business has been around. Make sure they've been operating from the whole time. A company that has five or ten years of experience would be a great choice.
A good locksmith should be able to do more than just change a lock on your door. If you have been the victim of a burglary, they should be able to change the locks on your windows as well. In a few cases, you may also be able to get some help with your alarm system.
There are lots of reputable websites that share reviews. Make sure review websites are not run by a locksmith. You should also go to your local BBB before you are thinking of hiring is in good standing.
How long has the locksmith been in business? If a locksmith is new to your neighborhood, get references from their last place of employment. Then do an Internet search to find reviews about them.
Find a locksmith before you actually need one. Waiting for an emergency situation has occurred means not having very many choices available to you. You may even end up with a less than reputable person having access to the keys to your belongs and therefore your valuables.
Ask what information the company will hold on to after they finish your job. For instance, is it their practice to hold onto copies of your keys? This can be a big security breach if the wrong person got a hold of it! Ask about this important matter well beforehand.
Ask the locksmith you are considering how long he or she has worked. If the business has been around for a long time, the chances are that they will be great at what they do and people you can trust. While all new locksmiths aren't automatically trustworthy, you want to hire someone who has been established as reputable and trustworthy.
The estimate you get on the phone may not be the same as the actual charge. It's not easy for people to give you a number that's exact if they weren't able to see the damage themselves. Be very concerned if what you're being charged far exceeds what you were quoted on the phone.
Ask the locksmith for a customer list.Most businesses will be happy to give you references, and it is important to actually call the referred customers.
Find out the terms of any promise made in an ad, such as that they will beat other locksmiths' prices. As an example, you might have to show a written quote after talking to other locksmiths.
Never hire a locksmith who charge simply for coming to your home or business. This is something that not a lot of locksmiths are going to be able to do, so it's a sure sign that the person you are dealing with is a scam. If you find out that he does not have a license and he still wants to pay, and won't go unless you pay them, then call the police.
Make sure you research different locksmiths in your area to ensure you are prepared for those situations. Finding a good locksmith quickly is not a good decision. You are better off locating a good locksmith ahead of time and keeping his number handy.
Locksmith services are more costly after hours. Some people will use this and charge unreasonably high rates during these times. You can often avoid these price gougers by getting a few different quotes.
Locksmiths have the skills to do more than just opening a locked door. You can also have them look over how your security is right now to see if it's able to keep people out. They may also be able to install a safe so you can keep things in there. They can completely secure your business or home.
Ask for identification and a license when your locksmith come to you. Compare these documents so you can ensure that the person at your house is the one on the license. A reputable locksmith typically has a license whether required by the state or not.
If you were unhappy with what transpired with your locksmith, let the company know immediately. If you delay, they may not fix the issue for free. If there is an ongoing issue, you should speak with a consumer protection agency to help you.
Try to find a locksmith with a long time. If they have just come to the area, ask for references from their previous location. Look up online to see if you can find any customer reviews.
If you are prepared beforehand, getting a locksmith is more likely to go well. Know to do some research on what needs to be done before anything happens. You will quickly be back in your automobile, office or home.

The broadcasting of sports events is the live coverage of sports as a television program, on radio, and other broadcasting media. It usually involves one or more sports commentators describing the events as they happen.
Streaming media is multimedia that is constantly received by and presented to an end-user while being delivered by a provider. The verb "to stream" refers to the process of delivering media in this manner; the term refers to the delivery method of the medium, rather than the medium itself, and is an alternative to file downloading.
Live streaming, which refers to content delivered live over the Internet, requires a form of source media (e.g. a video camera, an audio interface, screen capture software), an encoder to digitize the content, a media publisher, and a content delivery network to distribute and deliver the content.

Live scores is a type of service offered by many sports-related websites and broadcasters as well as online sports betting operators. The idea of live scores is to provide real time information about sports results from various disciplines. Live scores are usually free and are very popular among sports betting enthusiasts, as they allow viewing collected data on many sports events.
In the past, live score services were only available on TV through teletext or on the radio. There are now many websites providing live scores. It is possible to follow live results of many events at the same time. Some sites provide additional information, such as a player list, card details, substitution and an online chat where sports fans can gather and discuss the current event. Several sports organizations such Major league baseball and the National Football League have set up their own networks to deliver live scores via mobile phones.

a VirtualTourist member from County Meath
Im going to Bratislava in October and id like to take in a couple of day trips to Maribor and Uzhhorod. Im looking for info on best and quick ways to get there. Either by bus or train.Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Chris.
For Uzhorod you could fly - http://www.bts.aero/en/passengers/
For Maribor via Vienna you could choose bus or train.
I wish you safe trip and nice vacation!
You can find train times and details in English on the official German railway website, which carries official data from all other European railway websites:
Maribor is over 200 miles from Bratislava and is not a straightforward rail journey. At 5.5+ hours one-way, I don't think it's a feasible daytrip.
Alternatively, you could take the train to Vienna and then the bus:
but, again, it's not a feasible daytrip.
Uzhgorod is 300+ miles from Bratislava. DB does not list it as a destination.
Uzhhorod (at bahn.com/p_en/view/index.sht... it is called Ujgorod) by train at least 3 changes and 12 hours, by bus 2 times per week from Budapest, Euroclub, you can book with Volan Busz webelin.volanbusz.hu/nemzetk...
Maribor as above bus or train via Vienna.
Both towns are to far for daytrips
Thank you, Uli. I strongly suspected that Uzhorod had another name on DB but was unable to find it this morning. :-)
Many of the places in western Ukraine have several names, DB somehow prefers to use the less usual.
sorry I meant to say we will be staying overnight in either city...we may give Uzhhorod a miss but will be definitely going to Maribor. Also can you travel to Zagreb or anywhere in Croatia that's near to Maribor for a short trip?
Of course, you could use train or bus. As I saw online if you choose train you will end up in Zagreb almost in midnight. I will choose some option that wll get me in new destination at least in noon, but that is me. There are many online resouces. One of them is here - buscroatia.com/hr/pretraga-r...
Acording to this site slo-zeleznice.si/en/passenge... maybe is better to go first to Ljubljana or Zidani most and from there continuing to Zagreb.
There is also information that bus arrive in Zagreb in about 7 pm.
Is not so close but I think is worth. Zagreb is very nice place - [original VT link]
It is all depend how time you have and energy. You could think about visit Varaždin insted because is much closer.
I wish you nice vacation!
From Zagreb there is train to Budapest.
I wish you nice vacation!
Staying overnight makes a difference! :-)
Look at the DB site for train times and details to e.g. Zagreb. Or, if you want to make a circular trip, you can go there from Maribor and then return to Bratislava by train. DB has the info.
There are regular buses from Maribor>Zagreb:
Journey time is around 2h 15m. Train is slightly slower but it is a much more straightforward journey than Bratislava>Maribor.
Varazdin is also feasible by train from Maribor, but perhaps only if you catch the 0700 departure. It takes 3h 14m, whereas later departures take longer.
The train from Bratislava which Odiseya mentions, arriving in Zagreb around midnight, is just one of several options during the day. It is the only direct (i.e. no change) departure...but changing trains is no big deal imo. There are departures Bratislava>Zagreb which involve several changes but there is also a train at 1133 with only one change, arriving at 2044. That would be my preferred option.
There are direct trains Bratislava>Budapest with a journey time of just under 3 hours (DB again). Budapest seems an obvious choice for an overnight excursion, assuming you have not yet visited.

The paper examines what independence would mean for Scotland's economy and how this would impact on Scotland's macroeconomic framework choices, including its choice of currency.

The analysis sets out that the UK is one of the most successful monetary, fiscal and political unions in history, and the current arrangements bring significant benefits to Scotland. Taxation, spending, monetary policy and financial stability policy are co-ordinated across the whole UK to the benefit of all parts of the UK. Risks are pooled and the UK has a common insurance against uncertainty. Within a sterling currency union, an independent Scottish state would find it more difficult to adjust to the effects of economic challenges, such as a fall in the global price of oil, than Scotland is able to as part of the UK.
In turn, the continuing UK would become exposed to much greater fiscal and financial risk from a separate state, creating risks for continuing UK taxpayers. The subsequent experience of the euro area in the financial crisis highlights the challenges of creating a durable currency union. The analysis concludes that, in the event of a vote for independence, the Treasury would advise the UK government against entering into a currency union. The UK pound is one of the oldest and most successful currencies in the world. If people in Scotland vote to leave the UK they are also voting to leave the UK pound.

edited to say that I can't see the rheumatologist till end of this month...
Hi there,
Oh gosh, hurting at work? I'm so sorry..that must be tough! I guess I'm kind of the opposite of Mom on this one....when my joints are warm and swollen, cold seems to calm them down a bit. But, later, they'll be stiff and achy, then a soak in a warm tub or a heating pad on low is pure heaven! Maybe you could try to alternate heat and cold? Just goes to show that just like the meds...we're all different, you'll find the right combo that works best for you.
Take care and hope you feel better,

* Surveys show private sector expansion slowing unexpectedly
* ECB signals low rates through to end-2016
* Bund yields fall close to 2014 lows (Updates prices, adds new quote)
By Marius Zaharia
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) - Top-rated euro zone bond yields fell on Monday after business surveys showed a feeble and uneven economic recovery and the European Central Bank signalled interest rates will stay low until at least the end of 2016.
Expansion of the euro zone private sector unexpectedly slowed this month, according to Markit's Composite Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI). German activity kept expanding robustly but failed to meet investor expectations, while France's shrank at the fastest rate in four months.
"The softer-than-expected PMIs, especially in France, is why we have a bit of a bid," said Lyn Graham-Taylor, a rate strategist at Rabobank.
The data overshadowed upbeat Chinese manufacturing figures, which pushed yields higher in early trade.
German 10-year Bund yields, the benchmark for euro zone borrowing costs, fell 2 basis points to 1.33 percent, within touch of 2014 lows of 1.285 percent. French, Finnish, Austrian, Dutch, Belgian and Irish yields also fell, while the rest were flat or slightly higher.
"German Bunds are expensive, but it's not easy to see a jump in yields with no inflation expectations and still depressed growth," ING rate strategist Alessandro Giansanti said.
Short-dated yields across the euro zone dipped after ECB President Mario Draghi told Dutch paper De Telegraaf that prolonging banks' access to unlimited liquidity up to the end of 2016 was a signal on rates.
His Austrian colleague Ewald Nowotny also said rates would only rise when growth picked up at a pace faster than 2 percent, which was unlikely to happen before 2016.
German two-year yields dipped 1 basis point to 0.03 percent, with other similar-dated yields in the euro zone falling 1-4 bps.
"Clearly Draghi wants to strengthen the forward guidance and he has put more flesh on the bones with those comments," said Jan von Gerich, chief fixed income analyst at Nordea.
Natixis fixed income strategist Cyril Regnat said the ECB's stance and the poor economic data will force investors to switch into bonds with longer maturities in search for yield, flattening yield curves across Europe and especially in Germany.
"German 10-year Bunds are really expensive, but if we get inflation at 0.2 or 0.3 percent in June or July we can have even lower yields," Regnat said.
Other strategists say the ECB's ultra-easy policy stance will eventually foster growth and recommend investors to position for steeper curves. They say Bund yields might track moves higher in U.S. Treasuries and British gilts, as the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England prepare to change course on policy.
Rabobank's Graham-Taylor recommends investors to position for a wider yield gap between five- and 10-year Dutch bonds, with the five-year supported by the ECB outlook and the 10-years more sensitive to the Fed outlook.
Traders said profit-taking on this year's rally before the end of the quarter and debt sales from Italy this week were putting some selling pressure on peripheral debt.
Italy sells up to 3.5 billion euros of inflation-linked debt and zero-coupon bonds on Wednesday and medium- and long-term bonds on Friday. (Reporting by Marius Zaharia; Editing by John Sttonestreet/Ruth Pitchford)

Football Presenter @DavidJonesSky
Swansea v Cardiff: Wales set for biggest Premier League game, says David Jones
Swansea v Cardiff is always intense, says David Jones, but Saturday's game means more than usual.
Last Updated: 12/02/14 6:32pm
When Swansea and Cardiff meet for only the second time in the top division of English football there will be so much more than the usual quarrel to resolve. Both proud clubs are fighting for their futures.
Cardiff, the Premier League newcomers, have been catapulted from crisis to crisis off the pitch but they've been thrilled by the ride and they want more.
Swansea, who for three seasons have strolled amongst the elite with style and grace, have been hit hard by the demands of their success; a European adventure which has tested their resources to the limit and a slump in domestic form which this week cost Michael Laudrup his job.
It seems football fans were outraged by Laudrup's exit from the Liberty stadium: all those apart from the Swansea fans themselves.
They knew it was never a comfortable marriage. There had been too many tales of player unrest, of dressing room cliques and quarrels that never end well. They had seen performances decline in front of their eyes and they knew change was coming.
There had been notable highs along the way, such as the League Cup success, but the slip in standards was troubling chairman Huw Jenkins long before he made the decision to sack a manager for the first time in almost 10 years.
You will do well to meet a calmer, more thoughtful and reflective chairman than Jenkins in any league; so steeped in his club and it's traditions, so inherently linked with his club's legendary rise and for that he has earned almost total trust from Swansea fans.
They will feel that even in the hands of a managerial novice like Garry Monk, they are better placed to take on the pressures and demands of a relegation scrap, which just happens to start against the enemy.
To make matters worse the Bluebirds are flush with confidence after coming from behind to beat Norwich last Saturday to record their first league win under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Kenwyne Jones and Wilfried Zaha have added a more potent attacking thrust to Solskjaer's team, while the manager has already shown he has the guile to affect games from the sidelines just as he once did as a player.
It was a win Cardiff desperately needed after four straight defeats had threatened to leave them cast adrift, but now they know a victory on Saturday would leave them with an identical record as their neighbours.
Should they lose, the gap will open up to six points again. Both clubs could survive and prosper; both could fall from grace. Wales has never seen a more important Premier League game.

it's an internet thing!
it's an internet thing!
14:03 13 February 2013
Valentine's Day is upon us and if you've somehow managed to miss the barrage of balloons, hearts and fluffy toys you need to make some last-minute plans.
But whether you can't wait to shower your loved one with gifts or have no plans at all to celebrate the 'most romantic day of the year', one way to show your family you really care is to take out life insurance.
Yes, it sounds unromantic, but life insurance is actually a vital way to protect your loved ones. You may not want to think about it, but ask yourself what would happen to your family if you died. Would those left behind be able to keep up with the mortgage payments and household bills if your income was no longer available to them?
Why you need life insurance
Life insurance is essential if you have dependents as it would pay out a lump sum to your family if you died. Your family could spend this on anything they want - whether it's mortgage payments, bills or childcare costs.
Even if you're not the one going out to work every day and are a stay-at-home parent, a life insurance policy is well worth taking out.
After all, someone would have to be paid to undertake the work you do at home and in looking after the children.
In fact, research by MoneySupermarket and Legal & General revealed that dads carry out 50 hours of chores and childcare a week, which translates into a financial cost of £21,306 a year. Mums carry out 71 hours of chores and childcare a week, translating into a financial cost of £30,032 a year.
It's therefore crucial to consider how your family would pay for childcare and the everyday costs associated with running a home if one or both of you were no longer around.
But don't think you are off the hook if you don't have children. Life insurance can still be a vital financial lifeline for your partner if the worst were to happen to you.
What are the different types of policy?
Term insurance is the most basic type of policy. You pay a monthly amount for a set period, say 25 years, and the policy will then pay out a lump sum if you die within that term.
There are three different options for term insurance:
• Increasing term insurance - where the level of cover rises over time to combat the effects of inflation (this is usually the most expensive option)
• Decreasing term insurance - where the level of cover decreases over time. This is usually taken out to cover mortgage payments (on a capital and interest or repayment deal) and is a cheaper option
• Level term insurance - where the level of cover stays the same throughout.
An alternative to term insurance is family income benefit. This is cheaper than term insurance and, after a claim, pays out a regular tax-free income each month - much like a salary. This means your family won't need to worry about how to invest a lump sum and instead, can keep the home running as normally as possible.
The payout decreases over time but this is less likely to be a problem if you only need the cover to last until your children are grown up.
How much cover do I need?
How much life insurance you need depends on your circumstances. If, for example, you live in a rented flat with your partner, you won't require as much cover as someone with three children and a big mortgage.
Your priority should be covering your mortgage payments, as this is usually a household's biggest expense. But don't forget about other expenses such as food, household bills, childcare and school/university fees. You might also want to the level of cover to reflect debts such as credit card bills or a personal loan.
As a general guide, many experts recommend an amount - usually referred to as the sum insured - that is equal to 10 times your annual salary, but you might prefer to opt for a figure 25 times your annual salary depending on your financial outgoings and your family circumstances. Remember that a bigger sum insured will attract a higher premium.
Also check whether your employer would pay out anything to your family if you died while working for them. Some companies pay 'death in service' benefits, usually of four times your annual salary. This can be extremely valuable, but don't assume that means you don't need to take out a separate policy of your own - instead, it should just mean you can reduce the amount of cover you buy.
How much will it cost?
The cost of life insurance policies will depend on a range of factors. For a start, you will pay a lot less for your cover if you're young as younger people are statistically less likely to make a claim.
Your health can also affect the price of cover. Certain lifestyle activities, such as smoking, will also increase the amount you pay as there is a greater risk of the policy being called into action.
If you are a couple, it can sometimes work out cheaper to take out a joint life insurance policy rather than two single policies. But a joint policy will only pay out once, usually when the first person dies, leaving your family with no protection after that. Two single policies, on the other hand, often won't cost much more but will pay out when both people die - offering double the protection.

Further cover options
You don't only have to take out cover to protect your loved ones in the event of your death. Income protection insurance will pay a monthly tax-free income if you had to give up work due to an illness or disability. It will pay out until you're able to return to work or until the policy expires and could prove to be extremely valuable.
Be aware, though, you are unlikely to be covered for redundancy. Instead, you'll need to take out an Accident, Sickness and Unemployment (ASU) policy, which will pay out if you can't work due to an accident or illness or if you are made redundant. The policy typically only pays out for 12 months, although some stretch to 24 months.
Take a look at our income protection guide for more details.
For additional protection, it's worth considering critical illness cover. This pays out a tax-free lump sum if you survive more than 28 days from contracting one of a number of serious illnesses listed on your policy. You can use your payout for whatever you want, whether that's private treatment or to help pay household bills.
Critical insurance policies will cover seven core conditions as set down by the Association of British Insurers (ABI). These are cancer, coronary artery bypass, heart attack, kidney failure, major organ transplant, multiple sclerosis and stroke. Take a look at our guide on critical illness for more information.
You can combine critical illness cover with life insurance to provide comprehensive protection.
So, this Valentine's Day, rather than showing your loved one how much you care with roses and chocolates, why not bend the rules and take out vital life cover?

Flash Seats
by Paige Kee on Jul.01, 2015, under ACC, Big Ten, circus, comedy, concerts, NBA, NCAA, NFL, NHL, soccer, sports, tennis, theater
As technology changes, the ticketing world also changes. New measures are being taken to ensure that all tickets into any event are authentic. In the past, the only option to get into an event were hard tickets. To buy these tickets, consumers would go to the box office, wait in line at a ticket counter, or buy them over the phone. Ticketmaster or the venue would then mail the tickets to the customer, leaving customers guessing when their tickets would arrive. As technology advanced, e-tickets became available. Customers were then able to get online to search for, purchase, and print their tickets without ever leaving their computer. Ticket consumers were able to download their tickets or receive them by e-mail and print them at home, allowing them to take a piece of paper to the venue. E-tickets are not as secure because dishonest sellers often times make copies and sell a ticket multiple times, leaving the consumer stranded at the venue gate. At Tickets-to-Go, we only sell tickets from trust worthy sources and have a money back guarantee backing our product.
Flash Seats are the new thing in ticket technology. Flashseats eliminate the need for hard or paper tickets and is very secure. The only way to get into any event at select venues is by Flash Seats. You create an account on www.FlashSeats.com and link your account to a credit card or state issued ID. Once you have purchased your tickets or had tickets transferred to your Flash Seat account, you simply go to the venue, hand them your linked credit card or ID, and they print your ticket off for your seat assignment. If you buy tickets and are unable to use them, you can transfer them to anyone with a Flash Seat account and they are able to enter the venue using their linked ID. This prevents paper tickets from being e-mailed around or duplicate copies being printed and handed to multiple customers. This also cuts down the wait time associated with obtaining hard tickets because they are transferred instantly. Going a step further, Flash Seats has developed a mobile application that can be downloaded onto your Apple or Android device that allows you to view your account on your phone and show the ticket taker, giving you another way to access your event. If you purchase tickets from Tickets To Go and are not familiar with the Flash Seat process, one of our representatives will assist you and answer all of your questions. We will walk you step by step through the process of setting up an account. Our goal is to make your ticket buying experience a great one.
The following venues and sports teams use Flash Seats tickets exclusively. Colleges: Boise State, Duquesne University, Texas A&M University, University of Texas at Arlington, and the University of Utah. Concert Venues: Morrison Center, Taco Bell Arena, Quicken Loans Arena, Altitude Tickets, 1st Bank Center, Dicks Sporting Goods Park, Paramount Theatre, Pepsi Center, Detroit Lions, Ford Field, Toyota Center, Music Box Supper Club, Plymouth, Compuware Arena, Energy Solutions, Rio Tinto Stadium, NCAA Men's College World Series, NCAA Women's College World Series, Salt Lake Bees, Cleveland Cavaliers, Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets, Minnesota Lynx, Minnesota Timberwolves, NCAA Final Four, Utah Jazz, Detroit Lions, Colorado Avalanche, Grand Rapids Griffins, Lake Erie Monsters, Plymouth Whalers, Colorado Mammoth, Dover International Speedway, Miller Motorsports Park, Colorado Rapids, FC Dallas, Jacksonville Armada FC, and Real Salt Lake.
Some artists also choose to issue electronic tickets only. When these artists tour to any of the venues mentioned above they use Flash Seats as well. Some of these artists are: Imagine Dragons, Nicki Minaj, Sam Smith, Kevin Hart, Garth Brooks, Ariana Grande, Billy Joel, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Kenny Chesney, ACDC, Taylor Swift and Shania Twain.
Tickets To Go has tickets for upcoming shows locally and nationwide.

Last weekend while watching the NFL Combine on television, I saw Scott Long go from a virtual unknown to the toast of the event among wide receivers.
Last weekend while watching the NFL Combine on television, I saw Scott Long go from a virtual unknown to the toast of the event among wide receivers.
Imagine my surprise in seeing the Southport native catch passing before representatives from every club.
At the bottom of the screen, NFL Network kept flashing the test results, and the University of Louisville graduate's name kept popping up.
He finished first or tied for the top spot in four of seven categories, with the overall top score at his position.
When I interviewed Long, I found him humble - and he admitted initially being shocked by the invitation to the NFL event.
"When my agent told me congratulations, you are going to the combine, I said, 'Don't play with me, man,''' Long said.
Once the amazement subsided, Long spent two months at a training facility in New Jersey to prepare.
So when he arrived in Indianapolis last Thursday, he was ready for the grueling four-day series of tests.
"It was more mentally than physically draining,'' he said.
National Football League teams, meanwhile, examined his medical records and administered the Wonderlic test, in which he has to answer 25 questions in 12 minutes. It is designed to test his problem solving skills and aptitude for learning.
After periodically interviewing Long for five years, he has always struck me as highly intelligent.
Before the combine, there were questions about his durability, but I think he answered skeptics.
As a redshirt junior with the Cardinals in 2008, he was sidelined four games with a broken bone in a foot and then returned and had 11 receptions for 201 yards in three games before suffering a season-ending tore ACL.
As a fifth-year senior, he caught 53 passes for 727 yards and two touchdowns. His performance earned him a spot in Texas vs. The Nation all-star game.
Then, at the combine, he enhanced his value from a projected seventh-round selection or possible free agent to a higher pick.
At 6-foot-2, 216 pounds, Long, the former South Brunswick High School player boosted his stock by finishing in the top 10 in every category.
What stands out to me are first-place efforts with a 41 1/2-inch vertical leap, 6.45 seconds in the three-cone drill and time of 11.06 seconds in the 60-yard shuttle as well as tying two others for the top bench press with 20 repetitions of 225 pounds.
Equally impressive was his 4.46 in the 40.
He told me he wishes he could have ran faster, but the time silenced critics who did not think he was that swift.
He also told me he has received positive feedback from NFL squads, and several are attempting to set up private workouts before the April 22-24 draft.
Long's rise is a classic tale of an underdog.
I found an online scouting report on before the event and it described him as a good college receiver who might labor making the transition to the NFL because of lack of speed, explosiveness and quickness.
They considered him a possession receiver with tight hips, hindering his breaks out of cuts.
In recent days, however, I have read stories where the Carolina Panthers, New York Jets, Kansas City Chiefs, New England Patriots and Miami Dolphins have expressed interest.
With his performance at the combine, don't be surprised if the list grows.
"It was an unbelievable experience at the combine, and I feel blessed to have participated,'' Long said.

Dino Campbell – "Blessed Are the Peacemakers"
After my first post regarding the work of Dino Campbell, I received quite a few messages from individuals who had either known him, or his work. Individuals who, like me, wondered why more isn't available on his remarkable talent. As such, I sort of became the repository for all things Dino. I have more of these which I will eventually be posting, but they need a lot of clean-up, so it will happen as time is available.
This one is entitled "Blessed Are the Peacemakers", and I am 87% certain that it was one of the prints that my father used to own.
Here is a bit more that I have learned about the man since my initial post: Dino Campbell was born in St. Louis in 1935. He attended the Choulnard Art Institute, the Art Center School (both ln Los Angeles), and he also attended Mexico University and the American Academy ln Chicago. He won scholarships to the Otis Art Institute ln Los Angeles and the Koelner Werkschule in Cologne, West Germany, and has travelled and painted extensively in Spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Greece and Turkey. In fact, I have received accounts of his travels (and residences) all over the world. I still have no information on his death other than hearsay.

Today's interpreters of the weather are what social scientists call availability entrepreneurs: the activists, journalists and publicity-savvy scientists who selectively monitor the globe looking for newsworthy evidence of a new form of sinfulness, burning fossil fuels, says John Tierney in the New York Times.
For example:
- A year ago, British meteorologists made headlines predicting that the buildup of greenhouse gases would help make 2007 the hottest year on record.
- At year's end, even though the British scientists reported the global temperature average was not a new record -- it was actually lower than any year since 2001 -- the BBC confidently proclaimed, "2007 Data Confirms Warming Trend."
- When the Arctic sea ice last year hit the lowest level ever recorded by satellites, it was big news and heralded as a sign that the whole planet was warming.
- When the Antarctic sea ice last year reached the highest level ever recorded by satellites, it was pretty much ignored.
- A large part of Antarctica has been cooling recently, but most coverage of that continent has focused on one small part that has warmed.
Roger A. Pielke Jr., a professor of environmental studies at the University of Colorado, recently noted the very different reception received last year by two conflicting papers on the link between hurricanes and global warming, says Tierney. He counted 79 news articles about a paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, and only 3 news articles about one in a far more prestigious journal, Nature.
It was, of course, the paper in the more obscure journal, which suggested that global warming is creating more hurricanes. The paper cited in Nature concluded that global warming has a minimal effect on hurricanes. It was published in December, the same week that Al Gore received his Nobel Peace Prize.
