The Bulldogs took the field Friday for their first practice of fall camp in helmets and shorts. Although, they are not yet in full pads, the intensity level did not suffer in the slightest.
The offense began practice running through plays with the first and second teams, and did not miss a beat. Derek Carr had great rhythm with the receiving corps and the ball never touched the ground as they moved down the field.
It's still too early to tell how the 'Dogs season will go, but coach Tim DeRuyter and the rest of the coaching staff are using these days to set a level of focus and intensity that will be needed to be successful, as well as setting a solid team philosophy.
Article Continues Below
"I was impressed," DeRuyter said. "You expect the guys to have mojo on the first day, you know, a lot of energy, and we saw that. I thought our first units on both sides of the ball were crisp and had great retention. I thought our offense showed some good timing and guys were making plays.
"I saw some things from some new guys, but you know we have to get a lot better and work on our depth, but for the first day I thought it was good."
DeRuyter praised the play of a few players on each side of the ball for their performances in 7-on-7 drills.
"Offensively, you know, Derek and Devante really looked sharp out there," he said. "I thought Josh Harper looked like he had done some good things, and I like the way Marteze Waller ran the football, so I thought those guys did good things. On the defensive side Jamal Ellis showed up, and made a big pick, Obie had a pic, and so we had some guys that had some flash moments."
DeRuyter and the coaching staff are also focusing on driving home the team's philosophy to "be who we said we are," and not be satisfied with the accomplishments of last year, and the preseason accolades.
"I want our number one goal every single year to be to win a conference championship, and to do that you don't just show up and play, you've got to put the work in every single day. Our guys realize that, and I want them practicing like we're the hunter and we're going after something. Everybody talks about how we have a target on our chests, and I told the guys last night 'B.S. on that,' everybody in this league has a target on their chest and were coming after them."
Running Back Race
The running back reps were split between a number of different players, but Marteze Waller and Josh Quezada were the two getting reps with the first team. The ultimate decision on will start will be left up to the players and how they perform on the field.
"The cream rises to the top," said running backs coach Joe Wade. "A lot of times that doesn't happen right away. It may happen at the beginning of the season or in the middle of the season, but I feel like the guys we got are all competitive and we'll just see what they do with their opportunities."
Running back Marteze Waller understands that performance on the field will be the deciding factor in who gets the bulk of the action for the Bulldogs.
"Right now were just competing, we don't have a starter yet so the best player will play," Waller said. "We don't know who that is yet, but camp will let us find out."
Backing up Carr
The backup quarterback position has been in question throughout the offseason and today we got our first insight on competition for the job.
"I thought that everybody did pretty good for the first day," Carr said. "Zack [Greenlee], it was good that he threw his first pick so now he knows that you don't have to be perfect. He got that out of the way, but he looked good and he is going to be a great player.
"Myles [Carr] has come a long way. I took him under my wing and made him work out with me all summer, showing him how to be a quarterback. I think he looked great. Brian [Burrell] comes from a JC so he has a little experience and knows about struggles on day one."
A lot of hype has surrounded the Bulldogs highly touted recruit Zack Greenlee. Carr spoke more about the freshman quarterback.
"It is hard to say because he hasn't gone against the 1's yet. When you go against the 1's it is a lot faster than with the 2's. It is a different speed of the game. But I think so far he knows quarterback, he knows football and he wants to learn so he is going to turn out just fine."
The Bulldogs were intense and focused today and saw good things come from their first team practice. They look to match that same level of effort everyday throughout the season.
Dog Bones:
Practice consisted of helmet only work.
DeRuyter opened practice by saying "2013 starts now: be who we said we are."
First team offense looked crisp in the no huddle and made no mistakes.
Second team offense was a little shaky. Some timing issues and a few dropped passes.
Carr was constantly coaching up the younger QB's between reps.
Defense showed a lot of intensity constantly making noise and jumping around.
Sean Alston was on the field in a sling performing footwork drills showing great leadership to the other DB's despite his season ending injury.
JC transfer Claudell Louis was as big and strong in person as in pictures.
Coaches were very impressed by new cornerback Curtis Riley.
Wide receivers Aaron Peck and Carl Coleman made some impressive catches.
Converted quarterback Greg Watson also looked sharp at receiver.
The offensive line had the most intense group, led by their coach Cameron Norcross.
Freshman kicker Colin McGuire looked to have a strong leg and made all his practice kicks
Players and coaches wished coach Chris Calvin happy birthday after practice with a little Gatorade bath.
Players that did not make the beginning of fall camp: Theo Chambers and Tray Hall.

This final note today, in which you get perhaps more detail on the debt ceiling than you actually want, but which will stand you in good stead as you try to digest all the debt stories that'll be coming your way in the next month or two.
We are, as of last Friday, a mere $76 billion underneath the Congressionally authorized debt ceiling. Governmental pocket change, if you will.

Cheyenne Woods -- LPGA player and niece of Tiger Woods -- is in Africa right now fundraising for "Golf Fore Africa" (founded in early 2007 by LPGA Hall of Fame Golfer Betsy King).
On Monday morning, Woods took a break for a very cool/terrifying experience -- walking a cheetah:

I guess when your uncle's name is "Tiger" walking a cheetah is no big deal.
The 2015 PNC Father/Son Challenge was played over the weekend and went into a four-team, sudden-death playoff at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando.
Well, the playoff didn't last long, because Tucker Wadkins -- son of Lanny -- nailed this 40-foot eagle bomb on the par-5 18th (the first hole of the playoff), that would prove to be the tournament winner:

Knoxville, TN (PressExposure) June 24, 2009 -- Medications for opioid dependence such as methadone or buprenorphine are some of the most popular types of drugs currently used today. Although these drugs are themselves addictive, opioid dependency is so severe that a way to stabilize opioid use is required. Once stabilized, treatment enters maintenance or tapering phases. But other than these medications, other opioid derivatives have also been used as substitute drugs for illegal street opiates such as levomethadyl acetate, dihydrocodeine, and dihydroetorphine.
Levomethadyl Acetate
Levomethadyl acetate, also known as levo-α-acetylmethadol (LAAM) is a synthetic opioid similar in structure to methadone. It has a long duration of action due to its active metabolites. It was approved in 1993 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in for adult and adolescent drug treatment of opioid dependence. LAAM is indicated as a second-line treatment for the treatment and management of opioid dependence if patients fail to respond to drugs like methadone or buprenorphine. LAAM is not approved for use in Canada.
Commonly available as tablets, solutions, elixirs, and other oral forms, dihydrocodeine is also available in some countries as an injectable solution for deep subcutaneous and intra-muscular administration. As with codeine, intravenous administration should be avoided, as it could result in anaphylaxis and dangerous pulmonary edema. In past times, dihydrocodeine suppositories were used; however,dihydrocodeine is available in suppository form on prescription. These tablets are used in some countries, such as Austria, as an alternative to methadone (MS-Contin/MST-Continus type medications and buprenorphine are also used for this purpose) for management of opiate addiction. As an adult and adolescent drug treatment, common trade names for the extended-release tablets are Didor Continus, Codidol, Codi-Contin, Dicodin (made in France and the major product containing the tartrate salt), Contugesic, and DHC Continus.
Dihydroetorphine is a potent analgesic drug (painkiller), which is used mainly in China. It is a derivative of the more well-known opioid etorphine, which is used as a very potent veterinary painkiller and anesthetic medication, primarily for the sedation of large animals such as elephants, giraffes and rhinos. Dihydroetorphine as an adult or adolescent drug treatment is considered to be somewhat less addictive than many other opioids, and is also sometimes used in China as a substitute maintenance drug for opioid addicts, in a similar way to how the related drug buprenorphine is used in western nations.

I am trying to select a particular record from a table and for some reason it only returns 1 record when I know there are at least 6. I've tried Rtrim and left to make sure that I'm getting the exact string. The "MyID" field is varchar(32) and the "ExpireDate field is datetime and I have tried the below. Any ideas what could be wrong?
Select DISTINCT K.MyID, KP.[EXPIREDATE] --, K.ACTIVATIONKEY
From [KEY] K INNER JOIN KEY_PRODUCT KP
ON K.MyKey = KP.MyKey
Where K.MyID = '013BEB73C2CF11D39F3600105A05264C'

Brett, perhaps you need a sticky reminding people to read the first sticky. That would save you some time.If it's not practically useful, then it's practically useless.

Keck surprised me by making a link to me, even though we've never met. I am honored! …And there, you get a permanent link, since I read you more than any of the other Alleloners with the possible exception of Todd Hunter. Heck, I'd never even heard of Allelon until I wandered into their blogs. I think the path was next-wave -> Todd -> Keck. I'm not a church planter; I honestly don't think I have what it takes. Yet to me, a home group — sharing-life-together / breaking-bread-together / growing-together / serving-together / partying-with-each-other home group — how is that not a community of faith? And now Kay & I sense a definite call to start something and see where it goes.
It's kind of strange: I'm one of the worship leaders at SJ City Vineyard. And yet, I think this Sunday service thing is overrated.
I do think that it's important to draw small groups together, that there is an innate desire to be part of something big as well as something small. But Bish (definitely an engineer) and Mr. T point out the 80/20 rule: That churches pour 80% of their effort into a meeting that simply can't transform lives the same way a smaller group can (as long as the smaller groups themselves are communities, not just meetings).
Riddle me this, Batman: A common church-planting model is to start with home groups, and launch a larger meeting, initially on a monthly basis. This encourages the formation of community while avoiding over-taxing people with all the work it takes to put on a large meeting. …So why do these churches go on to weekly large meetings? So much time, energy & money gets sucked out of the most dedicated members into this one thing — which means it's not going into smaller community life. Why not stick with once a month for large meetings? This would also let you make make those meetings really cool without killing the planning team / set-up team / tear-down team / worship team / audio-visual team / etc. etc. Remember the move away from calling them "worship services" to calling them "celebrations"? Why not make them "monthly festivals"?
…But above all, the smaller groups must focus on community over and above any notion of a weekly meeting. I remember a dear friend of mine telling me about her home group in New York years ago… The overseer/coach observed that the group was too meeting-centric, so he gave them an assignment: For a time, they were to abandon their weekly meeting, and instead figure out how to do the "one-another" stuff throughout the week.
That's enough rambling for now.

I did an informal poll of some current essential oil users about what essential oils for sleep they use. I couldn't believe the variety of answers I got. It seems like every person needs a different oil or oils. So how do you find what oils work for you?
This is what I did for my 9 year-old son because I was having such a hard time finding something that would work. I was really sick of guessing what combo would work. So I worked my way down the list of oils that may possibly help. I only tried one oil at a time and gave each oil 3 days. After a week or two, I found that frankincense essential oil completely helped him sleep peacefully but he still wasn't sleeping very well. So I kept going down the list and found Balance Grounding Blend and cedarwood essential oil help him sleep better. Then I started putting vetiver essential oil on the back of his neck to help him calm down and actually get to sleep. He's sleeping much better now. Every person is very different, so if you are having a hard time sleeping, you may want to do a sleep experiment like this too.
Essential Oils for Sleep, Ranked by Order To Try
doTERRA Serenity Restful Complex Softgels (read more about it here)
Lavender essential oil (don't use too much or it will keep you awake)
Citrus Bliss Invigorating Blend
How Do We Use Essential Oils for Sleep?
For my girls, a calming blend works great. For my son, we both diffuse and put one drop on each of his toes of: frankincense essential oil, vetiver essential oil, cedarwood essential oil and Balance grounding blend. For me, I love vetiver essential oil and cedarwood essential oil.
How Do Others Use Essential Oils for Sleep?
Essential oils like Lavender and Bergamot are rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, compounds that have well-known relaxing properties. These oils can be diffused aromatically in the bedroom to create a calming and peaceful environment, perfect for getting a good night's sleep. They can also be used topically and taken internally to calm the nervous system, promote relaxation, and lead to a restful sleep. Try placing two to four drops of Lavender or Bergamot essential oil in a warm, herbal tea (Chamomile, Lemongrass, etc.), or another favorite uncaffeinated beverage about 30 minutes before going to bed, or add two to four drops of Lavender into an empty capsule and swallow about 30 minutes before bed.
I use a Grounding Blend, Serenity, Lavender, Vetiver and Roman Chamomile all together, 10 drops each, on a roller bottle & the rest filled with FCO. I put it on my feet- soles & big toe, back of my neck, wrists, behind my ears & temples.
I use Cedarwood essential oil …with Ylang Ylang essential oil.
I use Lavender essential oil and Vetiver essential oil mixed with FCO.
If you are more of a "Type A" personality, try Basil essential oil on the adrenals several times/day.
I like to diffuse Ylang Ylang essential oil and Cedarwood essential at night. Lavender essential oil keeps my oldest son awake so I often use Roman Chamomile essential oil in his room at night.
I diffuse Geranium essential oil and Wild Orange essential oil together. It is so soothing for me, and Ylang Ylang essential oil at night on my chest does it for me.
I use Cedarwood essential oil …with Ylang Ylang essential oil.
Vetiver essential oil, a grounding blend and Marjoram essential oil massaged into the big toes.
I use a grounding blend and then Cedarwood essential oil.
How to Apply
Over Heart
Cup and Inhale
Baths and body or foot massage
Make a 5% water spritz and spray on the pillow
Other Things That Can Cause Minor Sleep Issues
Adrenal Fatigue
Back Problems (the flow of your body is interrupted).
Bad diet, including too much caffeine and sugar.
Make sure you're getting enough magnesium – a good magnesium oil spray (like Ancient Minerals) on your skin can help.
Reserve the hour before bed for winding down – no cellphone, computer screens, tv, exercise, etc. Let your body relax. And of course, try to regulate your sleep schedule, try to go to bed at the same time each night.
Stay hydrated

All 5 game Reviews
The Interview Codex
Rated 2 / 5 stars
The quality of the interviews was roughly what I would expect from hobbyists (mostly mediocre).
Design-wise, I appreciate the desire to hew close to the Newgrounds theme, but I can't really condone the choice to render the interview text in all-caps TekuTekuAL at size 6 or whatever. For a text-heavy project (in fact, a text-dependent project), I guess I'd expect more effort spent toward making the text readable.
V-tech Rampage
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great Job!
Honestly, it's quite obvious that you've put a great deal of effort into this flash, and the Newgrounds community appreciates the attention this has brought to the website.
Thanks for keeping us edgy, because for a while, we were getting pretty soft.
Santa in Hell
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is front page material.
Really, it is. You did a really nice job, even if santa's movement is a little choppy. Graphics are nice, concept is golden.
Bash Osama!
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
about 4 years too late...
I case you havent noticed, no one pays any attention to Osama anymore--the gov't is downplaying him because they can't find him. The message would have been much more effective if it had been posted about 4 years ago...
MattStaly (Voice Actor): So? That doesn't mean that it's not a good movie. You coulda reviewed about that, asshoe.
Slit Your Wrists!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
Nothing personal, but... I think this flash is gonna make kidz want to slash their wrists. I like the game its self all right, though.

On August 9, as you may already know, since the story made national news, a security guard at Westlake Center pepper-sprayed the wrong dude. It began with a shirtless white man accosting pro-Palestinian demonstrators on the busy intersection of Fourth and Pike in downtown Seattle, according to witnesses and photos. The unidentified man was shouting in their faces, calling them names like "towel-head" and "sand nigger" and "picking fights" with the protesters, according to witnesses and a police report.
Twenty-five-year-old Raymond Wilford, who is black, was walking by on his way to meet a friend at the Westlake Center mall. The shirtless man spit at him, Wilford said, and the two squared off but didn't throw any punches at each other. Then a Westlake security guard appeared.
"The security guard was like, 'Stop,'" Wilford said in an interview. "The white guy was still yelling and walking towards the security guard. I was like, 'Why are you pointing your Mace at me? He's the one being aggressive.' And then he [the mall cop] pepper-sprayed me." According to witnesses and a police report, the spray blew into other people's faces and left them with red eyes.

General Motors global marketing chief Joel Ewanick attempts to feature its cars in the Super Bowl commercial spots of other companies but it's possible that NBC would block the integration because of the TV-network safeguards. Ewanick said that GM is getting in touch with other advertisers of the event so that their cars could be seen in their commercials, prompting consumers to be on the lookout for these cars, similar to a game called "Where's Waldo".
It's reported that GM is offering $500,000 for each driveby. Winners will get free movie tickets or snacks. But before you get too excited, NBC may not allow this since it would usurp its authority.
For many years, the organizers planned the commercials so that just one automaker is in a commercial "pod." No domestic competitor will be permitted to appear in the same ad break. In many cases, the rule applies to vehicles built by foreign automakers such as Toyota or Hyundai. [source: Autonews]

You've done a lot of thinking about "how to" with social media, huh? But…
…did you ask yourself: What is Facebook for? What is Twitter for? What is Youtube for?
Do you think it's for *you*?
When Zuckerberg or Jack meet with their teams, do you really think they ask "how can we make people have more friends?"
Or do they ask: "how can we design our software to maximize revenue streams?"
If you aren't a paying customer, social media is not *for* you.
Brands on Facebook: if you're not cutting a check to Facebook (say for ads or marketing data), Facebook isn't *for* you. Don't forget that.
Yes, these media can be re-purposed. Yes, some brands will use these media as gravity slings for their wider and wiser overall strategies. Most won't.
Who are you with respect to these media, really?
You know who and what you are:
You are a stream of revenue consciousness.
In these media – for individuals and for brands – it's easy to fall asleep in the stream, and to dream that you're doing something worthy of your time.
If you're not doing something for yourself or doing something for others that improve their lives, just what are you doing this for?

How to Do Macro Shots with Porst Compact-Reflex Camerawritten by brommi on 2012-05-10 #gear #tutorials
Last Christmas, I got the Holga Macro Lens Set, which is available for € 10 in the Lomography Online Shop. It includes two lenses, which you can use with 120 and 135 Holgas. However, I have used it differently. Let me show you how after the jump!10 Share Tweet

Just because it's called Holga Filter Set you not necessarily have to use it with the Holga. This is why I fixed some filter from the set with scotch tape in front of the Porst compact-reflex. Take a look at the results after the jump!8 Share Tweet

What I Dislike about Auckland
The thing I dislike the most here in Auckland is the high incidence of burglaries. About 90% of burglaries happen during the day. Mas madali kasi most people are working during the day kaya walang tao sa bahay. Stories of people coming home from work to find their homes empty or ransacked are common. I've known a lot of Filipino friends who have had their houses broken into. Their jewelries, cash, electronic appliances stolen. From personal experience, doon sa luma naming bahay, yung bike lang naman ni Fidez ang nakuha about 5 years ago. Walang mga rehas, gates or fences ang karamihan ng mga bahay kaya madaling pasukan.
Then NZ have stupid laws on tresspassing. Sa States pwede mong barilin and sino mang pumasok sa bahay mo. Sa Pilipinas, bugbog ang aabutin ng sino mang mahuling nagnanakaw. Dito, napakabait (to a fault) nila kahit sa mga home intruders. Kapag may nahuli ka nga sa aktong nagnanakaw sa loob ng bahay mo, hindi mo pwedeng saktan kung hindi ka naman niya ina-attack. Kapag hinabol mo at sinaktan mo, baka ikaw pa ang kasuhan ng physical damage. Ang pwede mo na lang gawin ay ang tumawag ng pulis. Parang illogical ano? Lalo na sa ating mga Pinoy na mahilig sa mga action movies. But the reasoning behind it is the belief that the burglar is basically only after material things and has no intention of harming anyone. To avoid any harm to the intruder or to yourself, the general rule is to avoid any confrontation at all cost. Para sa kanila, di baleng materyal lang na bagay ang mawala.
But it's not all bad. Most burglars are just youth offenders, amateurs looking for kicks and are generally unarmed. There are very few cases of burglars harming occupants of a house. Then, like anywhere else, not all suburbs are the same. We're quite lucky because the suburb we now live in is one of the safest areas in Auckland.

You didn't think it ended there, did you? I'm beginning to feel ready to get into more fall and – more importantly – Christmas fun, but Halloween should go out with a bang first!
These days, Halloween is nearly a week long if you look for it. Costumes are expensive. Well, all right – we paid a whole $15 on Eric's, but if you view it as something he's going to wear once and then be done with, that's still pretty expensive. So…why just wear it once? Last weekend, a church across the street was having a fall festival & Trunk or Treat, so Eric suited up and we walked over to have some fun!
We ended up spending over 2 hours there without even trying; I looked up suddenly and it was almost dark! They had inflatables, all sorts of games inside, a straw maze, snacks, music, hay rides… A thunderstorm was rolling in, so we didn't even make it to the trunk or treat! Eric would say his favorite part were the inflatables, but I personally thought the hay fight at the middle of the hayride was hilarious. Two wagons passing each other in the woods, hay flying everywhere…
What's not to love? Of course, the costume love couldn't stop there. The last business day before Halloween, a local main street does its own Trick or Treat, so we hit the streets for some early candy on Friday! Apparently this is no longer one of those little local secrets, though, because not long after it started, the crowd got absolutely crazy.
And we still have today's October 31 Halloween fun to use the costume for!
Make-your-own Decorations. I've got a bunch of static clings for the windows, but I'm lazy; I still haven't gone to the effort of washing the windows and washing the clings so that they actually stick. Eric found a few that managed to stick, and I've promised him we'll get them on the windows before dark… We'll see. Failing the clings, I pulled out some construction paper, and we had some fun! Danny was more interested in pulling the pieces off than putting them on – my theory is that he learned this from OT about 6 months back, when her introduction to stickers with him was to put them on his arm and get him to rip them off. Anyway, I gave Danny one of deconstruct while Eric started making his own. A little creative cutting on my part (I could have let him do it, except I don't have any safety scissors for him yet!), some stickers, and some glue covered our windows in Halloween fun!
Not to leave him out, Danny got some representation on our window – I traced his hands and cut them out, then let Eric glue them to a bat body and draw on some eyes with white crayon. Danny thought the tracings were awesome; after they were cut out, he grabbed one and started "waving" to himself with it and saying "Hi! Hi! Hi!"
Carving Pumpkins is always a favorite of mine! I didn't do a whole lot this year, since I did so much else, but we had a couple of pumpkins we sacrificed to the pumpkin gods for spooky fun. Danny was more interested in just checking out the guts and seeds (and trying to eat a few…yeah, that wasn't exactly fun). Eric, however, was thrilled to be able to help do the cutting himself this year!
He did a great job with it too, though we did a fair bit of hand-over-hand to get enough strength behind the knife to cut into the pumpkin. He was determined to help the whole time; he had his hand on the knife for every cut, both on the top and on the face! I drew a few faces for him to choose from and, both times, he was determined to have a "mad face" pumpkin. Well, it is Halloween! By far, though, his favorite part was when he pulled the top off of the pumpkin and, instead of the yucky guts he was expecting…
Best pumpkin ever. (It's magic!)
Both boys also had Halloween parties at school; Eric wore his costume the whole time he was there, and we took Danny's to class with him. I had invitations to attend both parties, but since Danny gets dropped off second (and so far away from Eric's school), he won this time; I spent the day in nursery class singing songs, reading books, and playing! We dressed the kids up in costumes and went trick or treating around the school, and Danny did much better than I expected. He wasn't totally into it, but with some prompting he would go to doors, knock on them (even saying "ah ah ah" for knock knock knock, unprompted!), echo "ih oo ee" (Trick or Treat), and put candy into his bag if I handed it to him (he wouldn't take it from anyone else, or sometimes tried to put it back in THEIR bowl instead!). There were a few sticky moments of having to stand still and wait – not his strong suit – but I was pleasantly surprised.
And now, it's Halloween! There's a mall to be tricked and treated, an annual tradition with some friends, and I'll probably take at least one of the boys out around the neighborhood, if not try both of them (one after the other – not both at once this year!).
It will be sad to pack it all away tomorrow, but that just means Christmas is that much closer… And if you think I like Halloween, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Appeals and Guidance
The Appeals Process
The Act gives OSCR a number of powers to regulate charitable activity in Scotland. Most decisions made by OSCR, or a body to which OSCR's powers have been delegated, are open to review and appeal.
SCAP is the appellant body and deals with a major part of the appeals process.
OSCR's Decisions
When OSCR makes a decision, it will notify the party concerned. In the decision letter OSCR will inform that party of its right to seek a review of the decision within 21 days of having received it.
OSCR will complete the review within 21 days of the party's request for a review. OSCR will confirm, vary, reverse or revoke the original decision. Only when a decision has been confirmed at the review stage can it then be appealed to SCAP.
Making an Appeal
An appeal can only be made where the Act allows it. Section 71 of the Act lists the decisions that can be appealed. When a party receives its review letter from OSCR, it will clearly state whether or not a right of appeal exists.
An appeal must be made within 28 days of the confirmation of the decision by OSCR. The SCAP Secretariat must receive a Notice of Appeal within that time.
Notice of Appeal Form
Download a Notice of Appeal form for you to complete:
Notice of Appeal.doc [MS WORD - 82KB]
Processing an Appeal
Within 14 days of receiving the completed Notice of Appeal, the Secretariat will enter the details of the appeal in the Register of Appeals. The Secretariat will also send an acknowledgement to the appellant. This will give them the case number of the appeal and a date by which they may submit written statements to the Panel and copies of all the documentation that were provided to OSCR to allow them to review the decision being appealed. This date will be not more than 28 days after the date of acknowledgement of the Notice of Appeal.
The Secretariat will give the same information to OSCR at the same time and will give OSCR a date by which it may make representations to the Panel and send an authenticated copy of its decision to the Panel. This date will be not more than 42 days after the date of acknowledgement of the Notice of Appeal.
The Secretariat will send, as soon as possible after receipt, a copy of documentation submitted to the Panel by OSCR. Likewise OSCR will receive a copy of the appellant's documentation.
The Secretariat will also ask the appellant and OSCR about suitable dates for a hearing of the appeal.
Withdrawing an Appeal
The appellant may withdraw their appeal at any time in writing. Once withdrawn, no further appeal may be made in relation to the same decision.
Notice of Hearing
At least 14 days before the date fixed for a hearing, the Secretariat will send to the appellant and to OSCR a Notice of Hearing. This will give the date, time and place of the hearing, who the Panel members will be and will provide information on what will happen at a hearing.
The Panel may alter the date of the hearing but, except in exceptional circumstances, would give at least 14 days notice of this to the parties.
Attending the Hearing
The Notice of Hearing will also give the appellant and OSCR a date by which they must tell the Secretariat whether or not they will attend or be represented at the hearing.
If either party is not going to attend the hearing nor be represented, the Secretariat will let them know a date by which they can send written statements to be considered at the hearing.
If both parties say they will not attend nor be represented, the Panel will decide the appeal after the date for receipt of written statements.
More Information
At any stage of the process the Panel may direct either party to provide further information or to do anything else to assist the Panel in reaching its decision. Either party can ask the Panel to make a direction of this sort. Such a request must be made to the Secretariat in writing and giving full reasons for the request at least 7 days before the date on which the hearing is to take place.
SCAP's Decisions
The Panel will give its decision on the appeal at the end of the hearing or within 21 days of it. The decision will be published online in the Register of Appeals page.

Child Custody
For every parent, child custody is the most heart-wrenching aspect of divorce. Divorce can also be difficult for children. In many instances, a child may feel like he or she has to pick sides or choose between parents. This is especially true when it comes to determining with whom the child should live.
Often, parents will negotiate the terms of their parenting plan privately, either between themselves or during mediation. When the parents cannot make a decision, a family court judge will decide how much time each parent gets with the children.
Parenting Plans & Residential Schedules
In Washington State, a child's residence and other parental rights and responsibilities are addressed in a parenting plan or residential schedule. The Parenting Plan, when signed by a judge, is a court order that establishes residential placement of the children, including where the children will stay, when, and for how long and under what circumstances, and other aspects of parenting, such as decision-making rights and responsibilities for health, religion and education.
Under law, the court's responsibility is to ensure the arrangements are in the best interest of the children involved. We help our clients understand possible options and the benefits and disadvantages of those options for themselves and for their children. Then we help our clients plan strategically to achieve their goals for themselves and their children.

In a two-week period, Mercedes-Benz officially announced two new CLS-based production models. The CLS63 AMG was introduced and the company also talked about plans to build a wagon version inspired by the CLS "Shooting Brake" Concept displayed at the Beijing Motor Show.
In addition, it has been learned that there will be another CLS variant that would combine the two.
The CLS63 AMG Shooting Brake would make use of all the features of its sedan counterpart that make it go fast into the five-door model, which is slated to go into production in 2012.
As a result, the M157 5.5-liter twin-turbocharged V8 is capable of delivering between 518 and 550hp and depending on the spec, it can offer up to 590 pound-feet of torque.
Mercedes-Benz has yet to confirm if the CLS Shooting Brake will be offered in the US but if the AMG version does eventually get produced, it isn't expected to arrive before 2013. In addition, AMG execs said that diesel performance models from the in-house tuner aren't likely to be offered anytime in the near future.
This is because AMG officials believe that there's no need to develop high-performance diesels. They think that gasoline engines potentially could return just as much torque and fuel economy as their diesel counterparts. [via Autoblog]

Welcome to Boxing for Life! This site is dedicated to teach individuals how to box, and to give back to the sport that has helped change my life. Here you will learn the basics of how to box and train.
How many times have you flipped through the channels and caught yourself stopping to tune in to a scene from one of the Rocky movies?
I, too, got caught up in the movie's theme of hard work and determination prevailing over all. As with most kids Rocky was the reason I got involved in the sport of boxing. Every time I would watch one of the movies I would find myself outside training to the soundtrack.

The News jumps today, it seems. I honestly thought that the BP thing was going to be the biggest thing today and that it would suffice as my post until something interesting came along, probably in a couple of days or next week. In fact, I wouldn't have been surprised if it was the last post of the month, a record breaking 9 posts in a single month. But it seems the Gods and Wyrd have other plans.
I'm a person who advocates freedom and equality, based on my ancestral beliefs and the traditions of Western Europe and the Scandinavian/Germanic/Celtic/Greek/Roman peoples of that land. Indeed, I'm almost close to an anarchist in that sense, as I despise anything that gets in the way of freedom. As is the way of Asatru, I look beyond the color of a man's skin and look to the deeds of his hands and words of his mouth.
Sadly, it looks like the Government is working to suppress freedom based on race. Not against black people, the historical target of racial supression (ignoring of course, the Irish, Italians, Scandinavians, Poles, Germans, Scottish, Greeks, and numerous other light skinned ethnics that were, you know, suppressed and racially discriminated against). Nope, the Obama Admin has struck a blow in the name of justice! He and his followers have raised a mighty hand! Down with Whitey!
But Mr. Alchemist, surely you jest! Obama promised us a post-racial world! An age of peace and prosperity! You white racist bastard!
Well, as the old joke goes, don't call me Shirley. Thanks to Fox busting out an interview with former DOJ attorney Adams, we learn that the Obama DOJ is not willing to finish cases it has already won. The issue of the New Black Panther Party's intimidation of voters during the last presidential election has be tossed out. And, if Adams is to be believed (and I see no reason at this point why he shouldn't be) the Admin has set forth that no other such cases shall be brought forth. In other words, Black can now freely intimidate whites in politics and get away with it.
Hard to believe as this is, I never dealt with racism growing up. Perhaps my life was sheltered, but my first experience with Racism was in a Civil Rights History class and it didn't come from the white kids. It came from the black ones, who would treat me as if it was my fault for all the suffering blacks had endured. I was willing to question everything, both on the white and black sides, to see the reasons behind everyone's actions. I am an alchemist, it is my nature, but I got a lot of hate for questioning if whites had a point, or at least a justification, and daring to question the actions of any black person in that time. When we watched a video of a KKK member giving a speech, and I remarked that while I didn't agree with him, he did come across as rational and having some skill at speaking (in addition to being respectably dressed) I half expected several large black girls to jump at me and attempt bodily harm. Before that class I never had a racist thought, after, I have sometimes begun to wonder. Yet I still believe that people should be equal.
So, who are these New Black Panther Party people? Well, thanks to an article I found a few videos: One from National Geographic and the other from Beck before he was on Fox where he talks about Black Nationalism and Black Liberation Theology. At one point in the Beck video, the man he's interviewing (a leading member of the NBPP) talks about Black people needing/wanting to reclaim themselves from white supremacy in ideology and religion and throw off the White Jesus and responds to calls by believers of BLT calling for God to kill the white people. I can sympathize with this man in his wish to throw of "White God" but I must correct him. "God" and "Jesus" aren't white. Not even close. They Are JEWISH! Jesus was a Jew! You wanna throw of a "white" God, talk about Thor, Odin, Tyr, Zues, or any of the other European Gods. Oh, wait, they didn't oppress you, they were oppressed by a JEWISH GOD. I can feel for the desire to throw off a God forced upon you by another people, as that is what me and every other Asatruar is trying to do every day. But Don't go hating White for it. You want black gods, look to Africa. The NBPP, according to research, wants reparations for slavery (ignoring that most whites never owned slaves, even in the South) as well as they're own area to build a Black Nation. Kinda reminds me of the Aztec re-constructionists McNallen has talked about that wanna take over territory and slaughter all the White Europeans in that area (guess you gotta get sacrifices from somewhere).
The case, one of the most clear cut intimidation cases seen by people on both the left and right, was dropped all because of Race. There is no other explanation. "You are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker!" is a direct quote form one of the NBPP members who was keeping people from voting. the NBPP is listed as a radical hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a group which has repeatedly declared Asatru to be an ideology of hate and has repeatedly listed other groups that are for keeping legal immigration and deporting illegals as hate groups. If a racist group run by blacks says that a black groups is racist...then that group (the NBPP) must be pretty racist.
Growing up, I thought America was a great place. A place of equality of opportunity, where every man or woman was free to follow their own path and destiny. Where it didn't matter the color of your skin. But as I grow older, I have come to find that the dream that was is no longer. Obama and company belong to an ideology that hates people based on race and actions taken long before I was born. The world seems filled with people who wish to slaughter each other based on religion and race and ideology. For all our progress, we are more backwards when it comes to the simplest things. Each day I see the truest fulfillment of the Monotheistic religion of Christianity, even as Islam rises in the East. Obama slaps old allies in the face and bows before people who would be our masters. How long before we are made slaves of freemen? How long before all the gifts of our European forefathers are lost? We believed in equality, we did our best to bring it forth for all peoples, and how have we been thanked? Judge that for yourselves.
I'm not a racist. I don't want to be a racist. I would like nothing better than for peoples to live in harmony, to have a simple life, to do as I please, and know that my kin are safe and our ways are respected. However, I'm sensing a lot of respect out there and I don't like where things are going.

Media should not call this #CharlestonShooting anything but what it is: terrorism and a hate crime. Stop trying to white wash this mess.
Exactly 10 years ago today, I arrived in NYC to live. I had just $152 to my name, 18 boxes of stuff, and no plan B. Not saying I've made the Big Apple my bitch, but I definitely have avoided being swallowed up by the concrete jungle thus far. Thank God for ambition, blessings and fear of failure. And thank you NYC for having me.

Man, I'm totally geeked that CBS News and Huff Po both (update - and E! online too! wow!) quoted my 2010 Fat Joe interview this week... so cool! Hoping more news sites catch wind of the early and incredible stories I've been getting with people. :-)

E-commerce after Panda, what does that mean for your website?
is Panda? The news has been all over the Internet about the Panda update. Most marketers
and website owners understand that Panda is an algorithm update by Google in
order to get rid of content that has no value to the user.
You want to have in place, the plan and strategy to find where your market hangs out online. Where do they hang out? What language do they speak? You want to make sure you find out what forums and groups they hang out in.
What social media sites are they on? You have to make sure the people you're trying to reach are even searching online for the products or services that you want to offer.
Once you find out they're online searching for a solution to certain problems your product can solve, make sure you know where to find them online and how to reach them.
If you do decide to add a free report, make sure you give value to that free report. Just because it's free doesn't mean the customer will perceive it as having real value.
So if it's valued at $37 or $57, make sure you let them know that they're getting this free report along with the purchase of the product, but the free report is valued at whatever amount of dollars you decide it's worth.
Also, you can add testimonials to your product page. You don't want to over do it, but one or two testimonials along with some good content can also add value to the product description and could encourage them to move forward with purchasing the product as well.
The main thing you want to be aware of with your e-commerce site is that there are many websites out there selling the same product if you're a reseller, if you're buying from a manufacturer or a wholesaler.
So you definitely want to be creative and think of different ways to make your product descriptions stand out from the crowd.
Google's panda update will be looking to eliminate Duplicate content. You definitely don't want to get caught up and take a chance on loosing traffic.
Your pages won't get ranked in the search engine's results because they're not going to rank those duplicate pages.
If you found that you lost traffic after the Panda update, if you go back and audit your site's pages, over time you can recapture that traffic that you lost.
Just make sure that you're thorough and pay attention to the things I mentioned above, try to implement them, be patient and you can see yourself go back up in the rankings.
