Exams — Final Exam Procedures
The examination schedule is specified by the Associate Dean.
All students should arrive and be settled in the examination room 15 minutes prior to the scheduled beginning of the examination.
Arrivals after the examination begins should report immediately to Room 203.
The "Instruction(s)" pages of any examination is reserved for all special instructions for the examination. This includes
the length of the examination;
any special instructions for collaboration or material to be used during the examination;
any special instructions for turning the examination or parts thereof;
any other general instructions not a substantive part of the exam itself;
Each student will have a different number on each examination. A three-part, perforated "slip" printed with a number on each of the three parts will be distributed to each student at the time of the examination. The student will complete each portion of the exam number slip and tear off the bottom part for his/her records. (If more than one bluebook is used for any one examination, the student will carefully number the extra book(s) with the assigned number.) At the end of the examination, students will turn in their bluebooks with the remaining two portions attached. The proctor collecting the examinations will remove the identifying second part to be retained in the office and the professor will receive the bluebook bearing only the examination number.
It is important for students to retain their portion of the number slip in order to review an examination or check grades when posted.
There must be an accounting for all copies of an examination. As a result, the person administering the exam will:
notify students to complete the exam "slip" on the front of the Bluebook.
At the conclusion of the exams, these exam "slips" are checked against the class roster. (Any portion of the exam "slip" that contains the student's name is removed by the law school staff before the exam is given to a faculty member);>
collect all copies of the examination itself. All copies of the exam must be turned in with the exam answer;
Examinations are scheduled in rooms that accommodate the taking of that examination. A list of the examination rooms is posted in various places in the law school prior to the last day of classes. This list specifies the place at which examinations will be picked up and which examination rooms are typing rooms.
Examinations are distributed in the rooms scheduled and in no other rooms.
Separate instructions are provided for those students taking exams on computer. The instructions for such students consist of the "Instructions" on the exam, these Procedures and the Exams on Computer instructions. Additional information about Exams on Computer can be found at:
Students may work on their examinations in assigned rooms only and in designated computer rooms. It is the responsibility of the student to return the completed examination to the place where it is to be picked up, at or before the time scheduled for the end of the examination.
A student who chooses to leave a designated examination room is responsible for returning their examination to the designated place at or prior to the end of the examination period.
Reasonable attempts will be made to separate those taking exams on computers from those who are writing their exams. It may not be possible to provide different rooms for both groups. During Make-up or conflicted exams, students taking exams on computers may be commingled with those who are writing exams.
Earplugs are permitted in any exam room.
The items below are NOT permitted in any examination room, unless SPECIFICALLY authorized by the "Instructions" at the beginning of the written examination, or specifically permitted pursuant to the law school policy relative to exams on computer. These items should not be brought into the exam room. If they are, they MUST be turned into the Proctor PRIOR TO THE START OF THE EXAMINATION. The Proctor will keep these items until the examination has concluded :
Cellular or other telephones;
Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) or any device having the characteristics of a PDA
Laser Pointers;
Any device that allows for the recording of data, or the playing of recorded data, including, but not limited to IPods, MP3 players, CD players, DVD players, cassette players or recorders;
The devices above should not be brought into the examination room. The person administering the exam in each room will, however, have a box to collect any such device while the exam is being taken.
Smoking is NEVER permitted in any examination room.
Examinations are distributed by the proctor unless the professor elects to do so. Upon receipt of an examination, each student places their initials beside their names on the class roll. The proctor writes the time the examination begins and ends on the blackboard.
Students in the authorized examination rooms are given a ten minute warning prior to the end of the examination period. The warning is given by the proctor unless the instructor elects to do so. Once the ten minute warning is given, no student may leave the examination room. Students shall remain quietly seated.
The examination ends at the earliest of the following:
The time written on the blackboard by the proctor or at the conclusion of the time designated on the examination. In some rooms, a law school staff member may say "Stop," but the failure to so indicate does not allow a student to continue to write after the time limit has expired. No writing whatsoever is permitted after the exam ends;
The time a student submits a written examination to the proctor collecting exams and leaves the immediate line of sight of that proctor. Whether such a student has left the immediate line of sight of the proctor is a question left to the discretion of the proctor, it being recognized that as more students turn in exams, the sight line of the proctor will be decreased;
The time a student taking an exam on computer submits their exam and exits from the exam writing software.
When the examination period ends, students who have not earlier completed the examination go to the place announced for examination pickup and hand to the proctor the examination, bluebooks and/or answer sheet and all scratch paper, used and unused. The material is checked at that time to be sure exam numbers are on each examination, bluebook and/or answer sheet and then placed in receptacles provided for that purpose. Students should not walk away until the proctor has confirmed they have all materials.
At the conclusion of each examination, each student again places their initials by their name on the class roll. The proctor checks to be sure all examinations and materials that should be returned are returned.

By JAMES E. CASTOFor The State Journal
HUNTINGTON — Work continues on a massive $47.6 million remodeling in progress at the downtown federal office building that houses the Huntington District headquarters of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The construction work has forced alterations in the traffic pattern at 5th Avenue and 8th Street and temporarily displaced some of the more than 500 Corps of Engineers employees who work in the building. The federal General Services Administration, which owns the building, says the remodeling is on schedule to be completed sometime during the summer of 2015.
When the work is finished, the building, built in 1960, will have a new façade and a vastly different appearance.
The project includes work intended to transform the structure into an energy-efficient "green building" and post-9/11 security improvements mandated by the Department of Defense.
In addition to the new façade, the energy-efficiency improvements include installing a new high-performance heating and cooling system, replacing the building's windows and placing a solar energy system on the roof. The Corps of Engineers and the GSA have declined to release any specifics of the security improvements being installed.
The energy-efficiency improvements are slated to cost $27.5 million and the security improvements $20.1 million.
When the work began, some employees were temporarily relocated to the office wing of the Pullman Plaza Hotel and the adjacent Sidney L. Christie Federal Building (the former Huntington Post Office) located on 5th Avenue next to the building that houses the Corps.
The project's interior construction work began on the top floor and has worked its way down. The GSA says work on the top four floors is now complete and employees have moved back in. Work on the third floor is scheduled for completion this fall.
When the remodeling work was first announced, the GSA said all the employees who work for the Corps would have to move out of the building and into temporary quarters for as long as three years. Later, the Corps reported it had been unable to find a suitable temporary location and was looking at all its possible options, including a permanent move of its district office to some other city. That announcement triggered immediate protests from local Huntington officials and members of West Virginia's congressional delegation.
A later round of negotiations resulted in the temporary shifting of employees to the Pullman Plaza and the Christie Building.

page 4 - The Hybrid Payoff
Is it economical? Or Mere Fashion? We test the Ford Escape Hybrid, Honda Civic Hybrid and Toyota Camry Hybrid.
By May 5, 2006 / Photos by Guy Spangenberg
On the other hand, there are various state and federal paybacks for hybrid purchase. These change with time and locale, so we've not included them here in our cost analysis. From one point of view, they have a profound effect on mileage to payback. Or you can think of them as welcomed spiffs at purchase time, sort of underwriting that nav system or fancy stereo.
There's also the matter of range. As we've seen through various gasoline shortages, often the crucial point is availabilitynot price. Entries in our specification charts compare ranges of our three pairs. A hybrid saves some cash at the pump, but it's also a pump that needs to be visited rather less often.
By the way, don't give up on gpc. It has its advantages as a fuel metric.
And don't give up on the EPA's City/Hwy data as a car-to-car comparison measure. Elsewhere (""), we address this and related matters within a more general automotive setting.
Environmentalists: AT-PZEVS Scrub the Air
Our three hybrids qualify in California as AT-PZEVs, Advanced-Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles. Their Honda and Toyota siblings are ULEV-2s, meeting the second phase of Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle standards. The gasoline Escape is a Low Emissions Vehicle, Phase 2.
To put these in perspective, a LEV is roughly 90 percent cleaner than a pre-emissions-controlled car. A ULEV raises this to about 96 percent. It has been noted that a ULEV literally scrubs the air of a typical urban environment. An AT-PZEV is more than 25 percent cleaner still, bringing its reduction well into the 99-percent range. By almost any measure, hybrids offer significant environmental payoff.
What about hybrid batteries? Aren't they an environmental tradeoff? At first, this was something of an unknown. But our earliest Honda Insights and Toyota Priuses are now into their sixth year (eighth, in their home market). Indications are that battery packs are lasting the life of the car; that is, they're every bit as durable as gasoline engines. What's more, the recycled value of their nickel is high, and a secondary market of reconditioned batteries is evolving.
Techie's Delight in the Car-Pool Lane
There's irony in high-mpg hybrids being granted solo access to car-pool lanes. Generally, high-speed freeway travel isn't a hybrid's most impressive mode of operation. Nevertheless, social engineers seem happy to reward its frugality, clean exhaust and innovative technology. And certainly those with traffic-clogged commutes are happy to affix appropriate authorization to their hybrids' flanks. Indeed, a "hybrid pioneer" friend tells me the best part isn't the carpool lane, it's on-ramp priority.
Another techie plus is recognizing the hybrid as a bridge to our eventual fuel-cell-electric future. Its motor propulsion, its power electronics, even its extra safeguards in the event of accident have direct application to future mobility. An example of this last aspect: As part of their crashworthiness, hybrids have automatic disconnect of their high-voltage source. Also, emergency medical responders are instructed where to cut into hybrids with minimal hazard.
Hybrid buyers today no longer have the pioneer status of original Insight or Prius owners. Nevertheless, the cars have yet to become mainstream and, for many, there's satisfaction in driving such state-of-the-art machinery.

Greenrrroof White House
For the First Pooch
Today is the historic presidential inauguration of Barack Obama, and as everyone knows, the Obamas are narrowing down their choices for their First Dog. In anticipation of this decision, Sustainable Pet Design (aka Greenrrroof) has designed an Obama Dog Home for the White House lawn.
According to Sustainable Pet Design, the Obama doghouse will be constructed from felled cedar trees from the 7th American president Andrew Jackson's plantation, the Heritage. An interesting related fact is that Andrew Jackson was the first president to commission a greenhouse for the White House grounds.
In addition to using reclaimed wood, the house would be constructed with the usual non-toxic Greeenrrroof materials – beeswax waterproofing and zero-VOC paints. And , of course, the vegetation for the green roof would be native Washington DC plants such as Fameflower, Shooting Stars, Sharp-lobed Hepatica and a variety of sedum.

Why would the First Dog even need an outdoor doghouse? I assume if it's a family pet it will live indoors with the First Family. I'm sorry, but it really burns me up when people buy a dog and then throw it outside in the back yard. The majority of domesticated dogs are companion animals and should be with their human family and not ignored in the backyard in their lonely little doghouse.
Monica--while I agree that a family pet should not be "ignored in the backyard in their lonely little doghouse," I do not believe that this is the only function a doghouse can serve. My dog developed separation anxiety after I rescued her from a shelter. She overcame this with hard work and her trainer told me that it was unhealthy for her to become dependent on me and she should develop independence and be given her own space. She is much happier and way less anxious now. Although she's my pet, she's also still a canine and loves to be outside, running around and resting her doghouse. I don't leave her out there in the freezing snow for days. The doghouse is a good thing if you use it right!
Monica, t really burns me up when people care for dogs as if they're human; they're not. Dogs who live predominantly indoors are far less healthy and happy than dogs who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. Our homes are full of toxic chemicals--carpets, draperies, furniture, paint, plastics, it all off-gasses VOC's. Do you want your dog to get cancer? Indoor dogs do not get to bark at mailmen and skateboarders. Indoor dogs don't get enough exercise.
A good doghouse is essential to health and happiness. I would suggest you educate yourself instead of trying to humanize your wolf (like it or not, that's what a dog is).

The urogenital system can be divided functionally into the urinary (excretory) system and the genital (reproductive) system. Embryologically and anatomically, however, they are closely connected. The urogenital system develops from the intermediate mesoderm which extends along the dorsal body wall of the embryo. The intermediate mesoderm later loses its connection with the somites and forms a longitudinal elevation of the mesoderm called the urogenital ridge. Part of the urogenital ridge giving rise to the urinary tract is known as the nephrogenic cord. Medial part of the urogenital ridge forms the gonadal (genital) ridge. The mesothelial lining of the peritoneal cavity and the endoderm of the urogenital sinus also take part in the development of the urogenital system.

Why music ID resolution matters to every music fan on Facebook
Facebook's music announcement a couple of weeks ago was a huge land grab, an audacious move to get itself ensconced as the nexus of that music platform I've been talking about. On paper and on stage the service looked game changing: all your music players and services all in one place, neatly collected with your friends to help you navigate the massive world of music. Myself and my engineering team at The Echo Nest have probably spent as much time thinking about that massive world of music as anyone on earth, so I thought I'd try putting it through its paces.
Facebook's recently-launched music service now shows every music fan why the crazy and complicated world of music ID resolution matters to all of us. The more social our music activity becomes, the more music data becomes relevant to music fans every day.
Though Facebook music has only been live for a couple of weeks, Facebook is clearly struggling with some well-worn challenges in music ID resolution — problems I've been dealing with for many years now. Below are some examples highlighting the promise of Facebook music and some common music ID resolution problems they'll need to fix to really deliver on the promise…
The holy grail — 'universal song ID'
The only way social music features can work is if the song you want to hear actually plays.
If you're listening to a song in Spotify, it will broadcast to Facebook and all your friends see what you are listening to in real time0. If they want to play along, your friends click a simple play button to hear it themselves. No Spotify? No problem— Facebook launched with a huge array of music content partners (with some conspicuous elephants missing) and, if that song is available in your choice of player, it will play with no "friction." You'll see something nice like:
Which opens the song in your selected player (in this case, it's Rdio, which just needs to be open in your browser.) This is inconceivably great for music consumers— there's a lot of great competing services, all with unique features and cost structures, and giving more choice is always good. I may want to use MOG because it has excellent Echo Nest-powered discovery features. Or Rdio or Spotify because they allow 3rd party mobile apps. Or Slacker or iHeartRadio for a radio experience.
What song is this?
This is all music-world changing stuff, if it worked. When I first played with Facebook Music, I tried a simple example. I put on the most terrible popular song I could think of in my Spotify player:
And then I asked Facebook to "Play in Rdio." I heard something sort of like it but not exactly:
Here Facebook has decided that Rdio's version of "Your Body is a Wonderland" is a sounds-like version from "The Hit Crew." I cannot think of a worse fate: hearing something worse than John Mayer when you have to click on a link that says John Mayer. (Consider clicking on a Google search result for your dentist's office phone number and getting your ex-girlfriend instead.)
At The Echo Nest, we know "The Hit Crew" all too well; they crank out "soundslike" versions of tunes. This is a great example of a basic music resolving problem: every song in any reasonably sized catalog has dozens of karaoke versions, covers, instrumentals, yoga mixes, etc. For Facebook to resolve a top 20 single to its sounds-like version is pretty ugly. What's going on?
Moving on, that Glasser song up top? Later that day I clicked on another friend listening to the same song, but it was different this time:
Wait a minute, what's the difference? I obviously know what's going on — the Spotify "Apply" is from a compilation while the Rdio version is on the full length release. If you click on the release version on Spotify, you can resolve the song to any other service for your friends and get recommendations, or participate in the social listening experience. But if you click on the compilation version (which is the default when typing Glasser Apply in the Spotify search box), you get nothing. The result: the song you hear might as well have been something you recorded in your basement last night, even though Rdio has what you were hoping for:
This is another common ID resolution problem. Facebook likely isn't working from a canonical database of songs or artists, rather using loose references to them from their own data and partners. And the glue linking those ID structures together is brittle, making for risky connections and some strange user experiences when translating across services.
Why it matters
Accurate resolving is the necessary backbone of social music.
These examples show that ID resolution isn't just the plumbing underneath a social music experience — it is the foundation of any good music service that allows sharing. If songs don't play when they should or link to the wrong song, people can't talk about them.
Even imagining a world in which there is only Spotify in Facebook, consider the following realities: any real music fan will want to connect with other types of services: radio players like iHeartRadio, video services like VEVO, reviews, blogs, biographies, artist photos, games, publishing platforms like Soundcloud, and so on.
We obsess about this problem. I'm guessing Facebook is obsessing about it now, because it introduces friction millions (or billions) of times per day into what Facebook wants to be a "frictionless" experience. The more social your music activity, the more you'll agree that any decent social music service service needs to know that two slightly differently spelled artists may be the same artist. Or that the radio edit of a song can be played in place of the single version.
As implemented, the v.1 Facebook music experience is like comparing snowflakes with a ruler. Right now it impacts the user experience, but the effects could definitely get worse as more users and more services join the fray.
For me, clicking around Facebook Music these days is tough. It's rare that anything I'd want to hear gets resolved properly:
Of course, EN knows the song exists in Rdio, as does Rdio's API. Why doesn't Facebook?
Artist pages and context
As you can probably tell, song resolving is bothering me enough; but the Facebook music application I was most excited about was the addition of content to its massive database of context. Facebook users or page owners can tag artist names in their wall posts and events and Facebook will helpfully make that artist playable if it knows about it:
Here Facebook made a hover link for the band tapes 'n tapes on a page for the venue Brighton Music Hall playable by choosing a random music service that can play songs by that artist for you. This is very similar to Google's old "Music OneBox" which aggregated MySpace, iLike, LaLa and a lot of other websites you don't use anymore. Great for listeners, (maybe) great for services, great for the bands. But here's another area where ID resolution problems make the user experience fall down.
It doesn't take long to find bands that Facebook simply doesn't "know" about, which is fascinating given the breadth and depth of their user entered and maintained "community page" and fan page structures. For example, one post down on the Brighton Music Hall page is a note about the great Dirty Beaches (Echo Nest JSON):
Where is the player? Spotify has a lot of Dirty Beaches, as do many of the services I tried. It appears that any relatively recent or independent band1 simply does not get the player, no matter what services can support playback. This is very sad for the musicians and or listeners like me.
It's clear and not particularly surprising that Facebook has trouble determining the identity of musicians on its own site— even those that have well groomed artist pages supplied by management with download widgets and tour details.
One of the Echo Nest rites of passage is for an engineer to uncover details automatically of the classic rock group "The Band" from the internet— and our recent push to know all we can about Facebook artists and their pages was a two month 3 engineer effort that uncovered a cascading series of Facebook pitfalls in which "The Band" was actually an easy one. One Echo Nest employee wrote me a surreal late night email asking me to make sure he was still sane as the various Facebook data gathering APIs appeared to be non-deterministic: successive calls would return completely different results2. I was grimly delighted to see that Facebook's own engineers faced the same problems we did. For some reason, it looks like we do a much better job at resolving Facebook page IDs. Again, this could definitely change as the Facebook service matures — they got a lot done in a short amount of time and Facebook music just launched. Here's our Facebook data about "The Band" returned from a simple search for "The Band" that links to the very professional and official:
Facebook seems to want to take you here, a twilight dead letter zone of people talking about "the band" in other contexts. It's not a page or a community page and therefore does not let cross-service resolving or context work. It looks like a SEO trap and seems to have conned 2,503 confused people:
You can see this in their music app whenever you see a band name all alone with no other information at the top. They have trouble with another favorite around here, artist resolving 101 pop quiz post-punk 80s candidate The The3:
These are not easy problems to solve. A huge class of Facebook artist resolving issues seems to come down to "merges" — artists that may be known as different names, aliases, nicknames, side projects or foreign language names. We maintain a huge database of musical aliases ("Led Zep," "BEP" etc) as well as collaboration names and misspellings as perfect resolving against text and search is something we work very hard on. But Facebook doesn't like seeing "Tom Jobim" because they only know him as "Antonio Carlos Jobim":
For example, any music service worth its salt has spent countless hours debating whether to assign Tom Petty and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the same database ID (the answer is no, by the way.)
But when I listen to "Free Fallin'" in Spotify (Petty solo) Spotify gets it right but I am not allowed to hear it in Rdio because it doesn't match up to their (incorrect) assignment of the song to the heartbreakers:
And this is "Free Fallin'", a song that is taught to sixth graders and I am pretty sure is the state anthem of California. Same goes for other popular artists who've performed with and without named backing groups:
A real world example of this4: a particular dear sensitive friend in London was having a late night Jason Molina bender broadcasted on his Facebook feed. This is an inspiring use of social music and where Facebook will eventually shine— seeing what my friend is listening to, I can listen along and maybe tell him to put down the bottle of gin and go to sleep. However, I can't hear it:
Why? Rdio had tons of Molina and of course that particular song. It's because Facebook didn't do a good job of resolving5 — to them, Jason Molina is: "Songs: Ohia," the name of one of his side projects. And of course neither Rdio nor any other service has a song called "Get Out Get Out Get Out" by Songs: Ohia, because it doesn't exist. This is a Jason solo song. Here's how Facebook got so confused:
Facebook seems to rely strongly on Wikipedia for much of its artist data (their "Community Pages" are CC licensed WP copies), and Wikipedia's editors auto-redirect Songs:Ohia to Jason. So somewhere in the depths of Facebook's graph database is a pointer that goes the other way. This pretty much invalidates Jason's chances of ever getting social music love on Facebook. I doubt it'll get fixed any time soon. But maybe this one will:
That's Selena Gomez. She's not Facebook Music compatible, for a different reason — she has a double life. Selena is listed in Facebook as an "Actor/Director," not a "Musician/Artist." You can't click through from a friend's listen to a music service, and you can see her page from any stream activity. Can you guess why? It's To Facebook, she doesn't make music. This affects a lot of edge-straddling pop stars, with some notable exceptions. I noticed that "Glee Cast" was manually fixed, as was Kraftwerk (who were a "Local Business" until a month ago6) but comedians and musicals still are denied access to the social music party.
What could they do and what should happen
Quite a lot of Facebook's resolving issues could be fixed by ingesting catalog in a "musical" way — not just treating strings such as artist names or song titles as database IDs as they seem to be doing. There are some pretty well-known approaches Facebook could take to fix these problems. They can use audio fingerprinting, for example (of course, I know of a couple, even an open source one.) They can work on mapping artist names and song titles together a bit more intelligently as we've been doing for awhile: one of The Echo Nest's main services is project Rosetta Stone, an "ID space" resolution system that can quickly identify songs or artists in any platform: generate an eMusic ID from a Spotify URL, or a MOG ID from an audio fingerprint, or any combination possible. Facebook could have merged the data feeds in some slightly intelligent way to match songs across releases. Or some of their millions of users could edit or automatically de-reference the metadata7. It's clear that none of this happened.
Social music is the future of music. Facebook is pushing this future forward more than anyone. It's clear that Facebook has some trouble ahead of them in the resolving space and I'm sure they are obsessing about it as much as I do. They are going to have to get down with the one big database of music scenario sooner than later. Facebook has more users and data than anyone and I'd love to see a concerted effort to build a true world of connected music via the new Open Graph. But there's a lot more work to do before that promise is realized.

Thanks to EVB and PBL and JL and MO for editing help
0 Spotify actually had the nerve to call it "scrobbling," which I doubt the inventor of the scrobble, Last.fm, are very happy about as Facebook's integration is a clear competitor
1 I can't prove it yet, but I think this feature may be limited to artists appearing on an older dump of MusicBrainz— which is too bad as they only have 600,000 artists and are relatively slow to update
2 Try this (failing) query for The The. You'll either get The Bible or the Simpsons as the top result, which I found very apropos. Maybe the engs pit memcache servers against each other "I don't like fighting either. Get here first" style
3 I've heard this is a Google interview question and is still to this day one of the first bands I type into a new music service after Blitter and Various Artists.
4 as no one really needs help listening to Tom Petty, it is somewhat an inherent instinctual property of the world that Tom Petty vibrates speakers
5 You can see Facebook's resolved name if you click on a song title in Facebook Music after hovering over a music listen status
6 they surely have a fan in Facebook engineering
7 It's likely this may be happening to some extent. If I play a song in Rdio that Facebook did not previously "know" about without Facebook's help the next time I try it in Facebook it appears as an option. I'm not sure if this persists to other users.

During the Macalester game in St. Paul, the Scots snuck two goals past Ole goalkeeper Anna Feigum 07 within a five-minute period early in the second half.
Despite the loss, head coach Jeremy Driver was still pleased with the teams performance and commended senior Elisabeth Tanners performance while matched up against a two-time All-American forward.
I thought we held our own against the team ranked 23rd in the country, Driver said. We played well, but unfortunately couldnt find enough opportunities to score.
In the UW-River Falls game at Rolf Mellby Field Sunday, the Oles snapped a four-game winless streak to soar past the Falcons. Kelsey Watt 07 scored the first goal of the game during the fifth minute of play and Katie Bierlein 07 scored during the 10th minute to put the Oles ahead of the Falcons for good.
In the 11th minute of play, River Falls attacker Julie Superstad brought the score to 2-1.
It was nice to get a win and we played very well in the first half, Driver said. In the second half, we limited them to only two or three shots total, which is what we wanted.
With the regular season winding down, the Oles are looking to finish on a strong note. The team will likely miss the MIAC playoffs for the second straight year, as only the top four finishers advance to the post-season (St. Olaf is currently tied for ninth place).
Driver stressed the importance of playing out the regular season at a high level and shared some thoughts on his first season as the Oles head coach.
Were looking forward to getting two conference wins and to playing Carleton, a traditional rival, Driver said.
The season has been pretty good. If you look at results, its been up and down. We still wanted to make the conference playoff, but that didnt happen. It may not be the results that we wanted on paper, but we still have a chance to get 10 wins, he said.
The Oles have one more conference game this season after defeating Hamline Wednesday 1-0. The Oles goal came when a Hamline player deflected the ball into her own net.
The final conference game of the season will be against Carleton College Sunday at Rolf Mellby Field, beginning at 1 p.m.

turningback asked:
You are one incredible Mom who's raising such a sweet boy. Your blog is as delightful as I would expect you and Rhyan to be in real life- thank you for your posts and for sharing with readers like me!
after posting this photo on facebook, my mom commented:
you've always been a camera bug! you were screaming your head off, but when i put the camera in your face and told you to 'smile' — this was the beautiful picture i got! love this …
turningback asked:
My goodness, your note made my heart soar!
It's so nice to hear validation from others that I'm doing alright with this whole raising a little boy thing. It's little moments like his writing that letter to Santa that really show me what a sweet kid he is, and that sweetness just might have something to do with my influence.
Sorry you couldn't find the Santa post, the direct link to his letter is here. I actually went to Anthro last night and purchased the mug he referenced, just in case he can't get it on his own. Santa has to deliver, right?!
Thanks again for the kind words, I can only my boy grows to be an upstanding man, who's sweet to the women in his life, and a
somewhat perfect gentleman to those around him.
Here's to that …
yes, you heard right.
talk about the weekend from hell. not literally, well. maybe.
it's a long story, but basically, my mom moved from the newer house my parents built before their divorce, to the old one we grew up in. same property, out on our 60 acres of land in efland, nc.
we had to move all the stuff from the new to the old, plus pack her up in a uhaul because she's moving to michigan to take care of her mom for a bit. how long, we don't know.
which is why i say, this weekend was freakin' hell. all day yesterday and today, moving shit in the hot weather. the sticky, humid, miserable, dog days of summer.
thankfully we had plenty of hands, and our quote of the weekend, 'HELP ME JESUS!!', seemed to help out somewhat. it's just a horrible task to take on
at the end of june any time of the year.
after plenty of sweat, few arguments, lots of beers, random food from the fridge/freezer … we got it done, and she's on her way to michigan.
we're all exhausted and grumpy, rhyan fell asleep at 6:30 last night and slept until 8:30 this morning! that pretty much sums it up.
and for once i can say, i am so ready for monday morning to hurry up and roll around!
mom, your house is like a booby trap for food!!
hallelujah! holy shit! where's the tylenol?
what IS it with mom's gettin' all decked out for christmas?! my mom was the same way yesterday. wowsers.
[i hope and pray i don't morph into that kinda mom when i get their age]
this the season to be tacky.
yeah. my mom had one on tonight. no shit.
pictures to follow.

is Buddypress exactly what I need?
I wanna authors of my blog publish their posts with Avatar. All and Active members be shown as Avatar list. Members could have their profile details certainly.
So I am testing Theme Arjuna with BuddyPress Theme Compatibility. But members could not find where could add post on blog any more. It seems to be a SNS completely.
So is that exactly what BuddyPress is?
Should I use another widget or theme?

Book Description:
From the back cover: "This expanded and updated third edition continues to be an important reference volume in regards to the principles and techniques involved in advanced traffic accident investigations (Level III - technical or advanced level). It has been prepared to meet the requirements of Level III researchers, trainers and investigators, and reconstructionists. Included in the text is an overview of Levels I and II (basic and secondary at-scene and secondary follow-up crash investigations and procedures), with advancements covering the technical level of investigation and an in-depth introduction to Level IV (reconstruction) investigations. Each chapter provides clear definitions of and statements about the topics it contains, with graduated sets of solved problems arranged to present a natural development and understanding of the subject matter. The handbook covers in both written and illustrative form those situations that confront the investigator conducting technical or advanced training and investigations. Thorough discussions and exhaustive data are presented on all investigative elements: fundamentals, investigative procedures, physics and mechanics of vehicle behavior, vehicle placement on the highway, speed estimates from all available evidence, hit-and-run accidents, photography, and field measurements and scale diagrams. Numerous photographs, drawings, diagrams, and tables amplify the narrative material. Chapter topics are given contemporary treatment to reflect current practice. Upon proper application of the material presented, the reader should be able to investigate and testify with confidence on all segments of Level III investigation set out in the contents pages and to conduct an accident cause analysis. Continuing the precedent established by the first edition, all mathematical references and examples are worked out in both the United States (Imperial) and the S.I. (metric system)."

on May 29, 2012 at 1:19 am | sarah
I will have to try this recipe, we don't add yogurt when making the aseed or many of the spices you added but I will definitely try, the spices would make it very flavorful but I never tried the yogurt, is this plain yogurt? It looks really delish.
on July 5, 2012 at 9:25 pm | gege
you blend the onions in the mixer?
Whenever they made this dish when I was visiting folks while I stayed in Yemen I'd immediately take a small tea spoon and begin scooping off pieces of the wheaty dough (like making a Quenelle: a culinary term for using two spoons that are rolled under each other to create an oblong shape for a dumpling or ice cream) I them threw them into my warm beef broth "Shorba" before everyone dug their fingers into it.
Everyone did look at me with an odd expression, that's for sure.

Napleyafa. Do have that recipe that you can post here for your mother's dough base recipe that is easier? I would sure appreciate it. Thank You.
on June 25, 2013 at 11:18 pm | Shaima
The way I was taught to do aseeda I feel is actually simple the only ingredients are salt white flour and wheat flour is what I use healthier I feel. And boil water with about a cup of white flour let it bubble stirring it with a whisk every 30 sec. then I add both flour and start stirring it . Till it gets to hard then I add water and let it bubble then I stir agian. This time till it cooks. And yes it is a thing the one must see how its done to fully understand how to make it. But that is how my family in Sanaa make it and I like it better this way my preference.

I can't do everything ASAP!
November 1, 2011
Everything at work needs to be done ASAP. How do I deal?
I have been in my current position about a year and a half. I was hired to work on multiple long term projects, but spend most of my time responding to assignments from several different superiors (I don't really have one single supervisor) that need to be done "ASAP." This happens so frequently (several times a week) that not only do I have trouble keeping up with my long-term projects, but I now have trouble keeping up with the urgent short term assignments as well. Compounding the problem is that when I need to involve others in a task that needs to be completed within a certain timeframe, I get either no response or a very delayed response. I don't actually even like the kind of work I am doing (lots of sitting in front of a computer and staring at spreadsheets), but I wouldn't mind it so much if I thought I could actually do a good job. When I first started I was aware of a lot of disorganization in my department, but I thought that I would be able to fix the disorganization, in my area at least, within a years' time. Well, a year has passed and I increasingly feel like I am spinning my wheels, am not able to do quality work, and can't fix problems that seem to be endemic to the leadership. I am getting to the point where I am getting so anxious about work that I get nauseous when I think about it and have trouble getting out of bed. I have a strong sense of needing to be the responsible good worker, so I feel like I do need to try to fix this mess before I move on to (hopefully) greener pastures, but another part of me wants to just quit (ASAP!) and attempt to recover some of my sanity while I try to figure out what kind of job I actually would like to do.
A few other things to consider:
-Even though I don't think I am doing a good job, my superiors seem to think I am doing a great job and have given me very positive evaluations in the past.
-I like most of the people I work with, (mostly) agree with the mission of the organization, but don't actually enjoy the work I actually do there. As I already mentioned, I think could tolerate it if I thought I could produce quality work, but since that's not happening, I now actively dread my job and am so anxious about it that I have trouble focusing on day to day tasks. (and yes, I am seeking professional help for my anxiety...finally made an appointment with an EAP counselor)
-I could easily find work waiting tables to cover any period of unemployment should I decide to quit, but I am terrified of losing my benefits (like the EAP!) and the security of working for a large institution, not to mention letting people down for not succeeding in this field. (and yes, I know that overachieving perfectionism is another source of my anxiety)
I have definitely decided that this particular field is not for me, but can't decide if I should suck it up and stay as long as I need to to fix the mess (i.e., to complete the long term assignments I was hired to do so that the next person in my position doesn't have to deal with this grief), or quit now and save my sanity. So, to make a long question short, should I leave now or later? And if I leave later, how do I deal with all everyday chaos of the job?

There's a middle-ground between quitting now to save your sanity and trying to fix the mess.
Don't quit, but don't try to fix the mess either. Save your sanity by mentally re-aligning your job description: At work you're now the ASAP-girl/ASAP-guy. If they think you're doing great work then you ARE doing great work. The only two things that matter to working people right now are health benefits and the positive perception of their employer. And you are two for two! That means you're doing great!
Then go home and start researching careers and looking for jobs. Don't quit your job until you find something else.

You don't have one supervisor, you have many. They don't communicate, so they don't know what you are doing or how much you are doing. Start writing down every task you do, as you do it. At the end of the week, send this list to you your supervisors. Let them know that you will be sending weekly emails outlining what you are currently working on. After a few weeks, ask for a raise.

I had this job. I had your multiple supervisors and emergency fires interfering with long term projects. I had your stress level.
The most useful thing I learned to do was form a list of project priorities with my "primary" supervisor (do you have a primary or someone who could be?), and then at least weekly -- sometimes daily -- tell them what new requests were coming in and how much time they were likely to take. Then I would ask him where they fit into the list of priorities we reviewed every week. Where there were conflicts, my semi-supervisor would negotiate with the "other" supervisors. I also kept a file of work accomplished and its estimated impact on the business.
I managed my work demands and multi-managers successfully this way for over five years. And then I got the hell out. I hope you can do both.

I agree with
- who keeps track of your big projects, and who reviews your annual progress? Talk to that person about your workload, especially the daily/weekly list of Due Yesterday items.
Compounding the problem is that when I need to involve others in a task that needs to be completed within a certain timeframe, I get either no response or a very delayed response.
From this lack of / delay in response, could it be that you're treating things as more important than they are? Are your multiple supervisors marking too many things ASAP, watering down the notion until it is meaningless? What happens if they aren't done right away? Or is it that your co-workers are also overwhelmed with daily and long-term goals from multiple managers?

As for "fixing the organization," if your managers / supervisors are doling out Last Minute Deadlines, it's above your paygrade to control. Not that you shouldn't try, it's that there's a broader mindset that you'd have to fix.

Are your multiple supervisors marking too many things ASAP, watering down the notion until it is meaningless?
Possibly, but I have no real way of knowing. Or rather, I have a general idea when certain things are important and urgent, but I don't always know when they are not. For example, I got an assignment not too long ago that needed to happen "last week." It was a very time-consuming project (mainly because our databases were disorganized and incomplete), so I let my supervisor know it would take a while longer to complete than he hoped. He said that was fine. I dropped everything and got it done in a week, sent him the results. Got absolutely no response. Was it that important that I needed to drop everything else for a week? I have no idea.
What happens if they aren't done right away? Or is it that your co-workers are also overwhelmed with daily and long-term goals from multiple managers?
Yes, everyone is overwhelmed, including our supervisors! I had another project recently that needed to get done (really) like two months ago. We had a plan of action. I had my task to complete; one of my supervisors had his. I did mine; he did not do his. Did not respond to my reminders, did not explain. The job simply did not get done.

I tend to send the managers after each other.
"Dave, I've got to finish this for Molly, if you can get her to agree to push her task back for this, I can get that in."
"Katie, I'm having a hard time finding the time for long-term goal x, can you help me find a way to carve out time to make some progress on it?"

It also sounds like you have a workplace that has a false sense of urgency. If everything is the top priority, nothing is the top priority, especially if nothing happens when things don't get done.
I like to keep these things out in public. Here's what I'm working on, is your thing more or less important than that?

Do not leave unless you have another job lined up.
My advice is similar to advicepig:
If one managers says X project has to be done before a different manger's project Y, tell manager X that s/he'll have to get the okay from manager Y.
Also, document everything. It doesn't have to be in depth or formal (I used a steno pad), just notes to yourself:
11/11 9am: Joe gave me X project. Needed by 11/15.
11/11 2pm: Jane gave me Y project. Needed by 11/14. Told her about Joe's X and they'll have to work out priorities.
11/12 845 am: Joe says Jane's project cannot be ahead of his. BigBoss agreed in writing/verbally/email/whatever.
And so on.

What Deborah said.
I worked at a place where the default instruction was (due) 'ASAP' -- for the normal queue. So for me it does not mean "drop everything" but rather due "as soon as possible (indefinite)" - subject to 'first-in-first-out' as well as over-riding specific promises. Promises were like "11/15 CERTAIN" and it was for managers to determine the actual priorities, monitor the ASAP queue and the promised queue, and manage client expectations -- to make (and break) the commitments being handled by staff.
If no one else is managing it, then do it openly on a whiteboard.

Saying that everything is a priority is functionally the same as saying that nothing is a priority. Keeping this in mind will do wonders for your sanity.

You don't say what you do but being torn between many urgent tasks and long term projects is a classic problem for sysadmins. There is an O'Reilly book called
Time Management for System Administrators
that's geared towards that job but contains some specific stuff on how to balance multiple short term demands and long term projects.

Yep, whiteboard. Big handwriting, your to-do list, with a big fat 1, 2, and 3 circled by your top 3 items. When someone ASAPs you, say enthusiastically you'll do it right away, then look at your white board. The white board is the bad guy, not you. Now you're both a team, disappointed together that the white board says you're going to have to wait.
Also don't forget to put PROJECT A: 10:00 to 11:00 DAILY in big letters on the white board. Same thing for some other projects.

I decided to live my life within the framework of fiscal year quarters.
As I begin work on new priorities/projects, I create a paper file.
I designate small colored post-its for each quarter, and put a post-it at the top of the folder so I can see it.
yellow - Jul-Aug-Sep
green - Oct-Nov-Dec
blue - Jan-Feb-Mar
pink - Apr-May-Jun
that helps me keep track of [and find] which folders I'm working on this quarter as well as showing my bosses that EVERYTHING can't be finished this quarter.
I was able to get them to list out annual initiatives, however, now I have trouble getting them to admit that new "tasks" have risen to the level of initiatives and should be on the list. It is an ongoing battle, but having a long-term list shows them that I am trying to give true priority and planning time to what THEY have designated as important.
I also started using big post-its [6" x 8"] on the wall to designate what projects I am focusing on now. A white board is too easily erased and became a place for the emergency stuff rather than the planned projects.
Finally, I am trying to keep one notebook at my desk to record the phone calls and quick tasks that I am asked to do during the day. That helps me keep all of that daily input in one place--which allows me to finish what I am doing at that second before jumping to the next task.

Short answer: leave later. But right now you should update your resume and LinkedIn and start chatting with contacts in other companies / industries, so by the time you do leave in the distant future, it's natural to reach out to people and you have a good resume ready to go. And in the meantime, consider aligning yourself with the company's misguided "everything's a crisis" mentality.
I had a similar job. I'm also a rehabbing perfectionist. In my company, part of the strategy was to abuse the misguided employees who were dedicated enough to stick around. There was no incentive to fix the system because enough things were completed, and from that perspective the system was working. Bear in mind that controlled chaos may be their strategy, no matter how misguided.
I did a few things. First, I did the best that I could, and focused on making a difference. That made me happy and I produced some things I was really proud of, but unfortunately resulted in my first poor performance review because I was seen as accomplishing little. Interestingly, as I focused on doing the "best I could," I stopped doing half-assed work on ASAP tasks, and I found out later that doing half-assed work on many ASAP tasks was valued more highly than doing very good work on a few tasks. (3 years, 2 jobs, and one huge pay raise later, I'm in the same industry and people still send me some really valuable materials
that I created
, but that were not valued by my company) So you have a decision to make: you can either do work your way, create something really valuable, and potentially suffer the consequences and be undervalued; or you can realize that this company has hired you to do things their way and they prefer that you churn out half-finished tasks that they throw at you. Frankly, I'm not sure which way I would go - while I'm proud that I created some really long-lived stuff, I also realize that I passed up some advancement opportunities by bucking the trend and I kind of wish I'd gotten on board faster.
Second, after 2.5 years I realized that I couldn't do this forever. Not only had the advancement opportunities dried up, but I knew I wouldn't do as well as I could, go as far as I could, or be as happy as I could in that job where quality wasn't valued and everything was a crisis. So I kept my resume up-to-date, kept in touch with people outside the company, and eventually got another job before leaving. My current employer likes it when I get things right, and when they come to me with a new task and I'm booked up they understand when I ask them which task to deprioritize for the new effort. So I suggest that you should
quit outright, but you should definitely keep up your ties to people in other companies and keep your resume and LinkedIn up-to-date. Don't think of it as "I'm dropping this place right now," think of it as "I have this under control, but this won't last another 3 years - and I'm going to leave on my own terms (with a new job)." By the time you need connections or a resume for a new job, it's too late to update them.

I used to work at a place as the one-man art department. All jobs flowed down to me from teh CEO via my two managers. The CEO's usual method was that whatever he was requesting at the moment was top priority. So, I would get assignment A on Monday. Tuesday would come, and assignment B would be dropped on me with the note that it was now my priority. Wednesday would come and, in addition to assignment C being dropped on me (and it was now my top priority), the CEO would inquire as to where we were with assignment A.
And, it would continue like that all week, and over and over.
Eventually, I threw it back at my managers. I simply drew-up my assignment list and told them to prioritize them. then, when they came and threw the inevitable assignment G at me, I had them re-prioritize the entire list.
As far as I'm concerned, a management team that can't properly manage projects deserves a large share of the pain.

In most instances, work tasks only absolutely, positively
to be done by a certain time until someone categorically states that they cannot be done by that time. Priorities are then reassessed and the deadline is changed. Life goes on and it's not a big deal.
Your opportunity to state that something cannot be done by a certain time
occur when your supervisors ask you if you are able to do the task and, if so, when by. If you are not being given this opportunity then that is a failure on the part of your supervisors. And not being presented with the opportunity should in no way stop you from being honest and stating that something cannot be done within the originally envisaged timeframe.

One step beyond the personal whiteboard: if you're really focused on fixing things, get people to collaborate and make
Gannt charts
for projects, and identify who has to do what. This way, everyone can see the steps required, the people involved, and who
has to
wait for someone else before their step can get done.
There are Gannt chart generating programs, or you can use something with cells, like Excel, and do it yourself.

What good would that do? The GOP's slim majority in the House might be sufficient to get articles of impeachment out of committee and onto the floor itself. But what is likely to happen if the Senate sits to hear a full-blown trial? How many of the sitting Democrat senators do you think would vote to convict? How many Republicans might vote to acquit to avoid the charge of "racism". And, what crimes and misdemeanors do you think would be likely to survive a vigorous defense? Citizenship, and therefore eligibility to be President, may well be one of them - but good luck trying to convince the Senate conclusively on that potential charge - unfortunately.

Q: I have low blood pressure, and in the past ate a high-sodium diet. Now I'm older, and I find myself more and more thirsty and water doesn't help. My doctor ruled out diabetes. Is there something I can do for both the low blood pressure and thirstiness?
A: I recommend that you super-charge your water by adding small pieces of juicy fruits, like watermelon, lemon, lime, mint, cucumber, etc. Watch this recent segment where I demonstrate how to make this infused water and why it's better for you!
Super-charged water is more hydrating than plain water, because of the vitamins and minerals that come from the fruit. When you drink plain water, you run the risk of it washing out some of the electrolytes (sodium and potassium) that are needed for proper fluid balance and keeping thirst at bay. Also, if you are on medications, those can be dehydrating too. Also, limit coffee and tea to one or two cups a day because that can also make you feel thirstier.

How Women Choose The Men They Date
True, when it comes to relationships, women are in charge of the selection process because they control access to sexuality — they let men "in" — so you'd think they'd know exactly why and how they choose their partners. But the problem is, women lie. They lie to men; they lie to themselves (and they are perfectly capable of believing their own lies).
If you ask any woman what she's looking for in a man, she'll come out with a long list of ennobling qualities: a sense of humor; a guy who's nice to her and treats her well; good values; a strong moral character, etc.
Uh huh. Right. And she'll leave footprints all over Mr. Sense of Humor as she scrambles to be first in line when an arrogant, philandering, single doctor roars up in his Ferrari.
woman, pleaseLet's be honest — if women really chose men based on what they say they're looking for, then every nice, average guy out there would be besieged with females trying to go out with him. But nice, average guys generally stay home on the weekends with a date from the back room of the local video store.
Many women lie. They are experts at self-deceit because if they ever admitted to themselves what they really want from men, then they'd be forced to acknowledge that they don't really want a "nice" guy.
The most important reality a man can understand about female behavior is this: never pay attention to what a woman says — watch what she actually does .
truth is in her actionsAnd what does she actually do? When it comes to choosing men, she heads straight for the cash. What women want most from men — and therefore the criterion most significant to them in selecting a mate — is money.
For the majority of women, dating and marriage are businesses. Women marry up, not down. A man will marry a woman who scrubs the floor at a slaughterhouse if she's nice and pretty enough — but if she's nice and she's pretty and she's working at the slaughterhouse, you can rest assured she's there because she's got her eye on the owner of the company.
When a woman says all the good ones are taken, she means all the ones with money. The man who changes her oil or checks her groceries might very well be a great guy capable of loving her dearly, but she wouldn't even consider him as a potential suitor because he doesn't have enough earning power.
Some women are blatant about their mercenary choices, openly choosing men with substantial material assets that they can sex-ploit . But most are subconscious hypocrites, screening out less successful men without admitting it to themselves. They publicly announce that all they want is a nice guy, but privately disregard any men who don't meet their elevated standards for money, success, and status.
There's proof that all they want is money

A drill involving about 4,000 paratroopers and 95 tons of air-dropped gear offered a dramatic preview of one possible U.S. action to seize control of chemical warfare stocks in Syria, CBS News reported on Friday.
Members of the 82nd Airborne Division took over an airstrip and staged a helicopter offensive on a mock chemical weapons storage facility as part of the practice maneuvers in North Carolina.
"Chemical weapons are not something we've encountered in the last 10 years of counterinsurgency," division chief Maj. Gen. John Nicholson said. "So there's many dimensions to the issue of securing chemical stockpiles that we're working through right now."
"We want to minimize the risk to our paratroopers ... and then how do we deal with the potential hazards to the locals in that area, to the civilians," he said.
The U.S. military brass has briefed President Obama on multiple potential methods of armed intervention in Syria's civil war, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey said in remarks quoted on Thursday by the London Telegraph. Options include launching missiles at chemical arms sites and other government assets, as well as enforcing aircraft restrictions or deploying land forces.
Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Thursday vowed to hold up Dempsey's confirmation to a new two-year term because the top military officer declined to provide his personnel assessment of whether U.S. attacks in Syria are warranted. Dempsey deferred to "elected officials" on the matter, the New York Times reported.
British Defense Secretary Philip Hammond suggested the United Kingdom could deploy military personnel in the hundreds to secure Syrian chemical arms, the London Daily Mail reported on Thursday.

Added Jul 21, 2012
by frkbustad
Bergen, Norway
I added 2 cm to the torso, since many reported the pattern as a little short. You can also see this in the pictures of the original, where the bottom of the bust piece is (in my opinion) too low. I'm really glad I did that, because it would've turned out to short if I hadn't!
Also, I added some height on the back piece and skipped the centre back strap. I love silvermink's sailor style Alison, and did something similar with the back straps as halter-neck is a no-go for me.
The bust piece was a little bit saggy, so I added the button in front to 'fix' the gathers in the front tab.
I lowered the side seams 2.5 cm to get an even more vintage look. I just folded and tacked the hem, and then sewed an elastic strap as I went along without pulling it.

Berger and her Pro Comp Elite XL set a new record of 1418, which was previously held by Hoyt Pro Staffer, Jamie Van Natta. Van Natta's score of 1412 was set in 2007. To claim this record, Berger shot the traditional FITA round which is 36 arrows at each of the four distances 70m/60m/50m and 30m. Berger scored an amazing 352 at 70m, 356 at 60m, 352 at 50m and 358 at 30m. "To set a world record after shooting for just two years is amazing to me, I couldn't be happier with my performance and my equipment." Mentioned Berger.

I know there's people like you that likely spend 24/7 on wow and knowing it by heart, since its what matters most in life Artificial. I for one didn't go to Geek school for 3 years, to get the full understanding behind every quirk made on wow.
But since you obviously know everything about the game, and why the new buffs/nerfs are implemented, and furthermore your insightful enough to know how much I understand the game, I think you should try to offer your skills as wow-guru.
I'm sure you'd make millions with your insight, based on your constructive criticism.
Obviously you have alread completed most raidbosses in Cata, with the above mentioned nerf, and have a character of each class, race on each server around the globe, since its the only thing you spend time on in your life. Thanks again for your constructive input. Nerd.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I determine my player's age group and fee?
Please refer to the Registration Overview page for player age groups and associated fees.
Is it too late to register?
We accept player registrations up to the start of the season, provided space is available on a team at the appropriate age level. After registration closes, all player registrations are waitlisted and added to a team based upon availability. View the Registration Overview page for registration deadlines.
How do I sign up for a friend's team or a specific coach?
We accept "buddy" and coach requests and try hard to accommodate these requests. Register early to secure the best chance of getting on your requested team. After the deadline, the Registrar (or player assignment team) places additional players on teams with the shortest roster. Even in cases where your requested team has space and you are past the deadline, the Registrar needs to place the next player on a team with fewer players.
How are teams formed?
Click here to view the Player Assignment Guidelines.
Do you accept beginning soccer players?
Do you have programs for kids under the age of seven?
Our Coed U-06 and U-07 programs are an excellent way to introduce the concepts of team play and basic soccer skills. This is a low-key program with an emphasis on fun. All Coed U-06 & U-07 games are played in West Seattle beginning in September. If you are registering a Kindergarten or 1st grader, they will be assigned to this program. This program is open to children that are either 5 or 6 on July 31st. More information on Coed U-06 and Coed U-07 is posted on our Programs page.
How will I be notified regarding the team assignment for my child?
WSSC notifies the coaches of the players on their team roster and the coach contacts all of the players. Once registration closes, a date is provided on the WSSC home page stating when the coach should contact you. If this date has passed, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
May I register my child without a specific team request?
We make every effort to ensure each registered player has a team to play on and that every team has approximately the same number of players to equally distribute playing time. In rare situations where we cannot find a team for a player, we promptly refund registration fees.
When is Fall Season?
Fall season starts in September for all age groups:
- U-12 and older (and some U-11) teams generally start the first weekend following Labor Day and play a 10-game season
- U-08 to U-11 teams generally start two weeks after Labor Day and play a 10-game season

May I request a refund if my child in unable to finish the season?
Yes - please check the WSSC Policies page for refund guidelines.
What equipment do I need to provide?
All players must wear shin guards and long socks. The club provides a jersey, shorts and one pair of socks for the fall season. In addition, soccer cleats are strongly recommended. Baseball cleats can be used to play soccer provided the toe cleat has been completely removed.
When are practices?
The team coach determines the number of practices per week, the location, and the time. WSSC reserves practice fields for fall season only. Coaches can schedule optional practices for spring season.

No! Jewelry of any kind, including earrings, is considered dangerous to the players and not allowed for any reason in youth soccer.

I really love watching the Winter Olympics. I always have.
I remember being a little girl and pretending to ice skate around our living room while we watched the competition. I was convinced I had natural talent, even though I had never actually put on a pair of ice skates before!
When the Winter Olympics are on TV, it is one thing my entire family of 6 can agree on watching. There's just something so captivating about seeing the best of the best compete for the Gold!
Everyone knows that while watching elite athletes perform their talents, it is only appropriate to make sure we have some great snacks as we cheer them on, like queso. I found this Tomato-Basil Queso recipe on the Kraft website and I fell absolutely in love. There's nothing quite like a chip loaded with veggies and cheese to give you the kind of stamina you need for TV watching ;)

Factors to Consider When Hiring an Auto Accident Law Firm
Auto accidents happen fast. But the repercussions from an accident - even a seemingly minor one - can last for a long time. Thats why seeking out and hiring the right auto accident law firm is so important. If youve had a car accident, especially one involving an injury, a good lawyer can help you successfully navigate the many legal issues that can arise.
Hiring the Right Law Firm
Regardless of whether youve already identified potential car accident attorneys to handle your case, there are several factors to consider before settling on a law firm.
- Does the law firm have experience handling car accident and/or personal injury cases? Lawyers, like doctors, practice in specific areas. Its best to choose one who has the expertise you need.
- Lawyers who represent someone who has been injured (called a plaintiffs attorney) typically dont also defend against injury lawsuits (called a defense attorney). The profile for the lawyer and his or her firm should give you an idea of whom they represent, or you can ask their office.
- If youve been injured in your accident, check to see if the attorney belongs to personal injury trial lawyers' associations, such as the American Association for Justice or your state's trial lawyers' association.
- If youve worked with an attorney previously who practices in another area, ask if he or she can provide a referral to an auto accident law firm in your area.
- Ask friends and relatives if they have any recommendations.
- Use a trusted source like Attorneys.com to get the names of additional car accident lawyers in your area.
- Before making a final decision, ask for references. Its always a good idea to talk to some of the lawyer's representative clients.
- Consider any other needs you have. For example, would it benefit you to have an attorney who speaks a language other than English?
- Except in rare circumstances, you'll want to hire a lawyer with a local office where the accident occurred.
Paying an Auto Injury Attorney
If youve been injured in a car accident, your lawyer may take your case on contingency. A contingency (or contingent) fee means your lawyer will be paid a percentage of what you may collect on a settlement or on a judgment if the case goes to trial.
Contingency fees are the most common fee arrangement in personal injury cases, but some lawyers will charge their clients an hourly rate, which is payable regardless of whether you win or lose your case.
Questions for Your Auto Injury Attorney
- How many personal injury trials have you handled? How many did you win?
- What percentage of your practice is in personal injury involving car accidents?
- How long have you been in practice?
- Do you usually represent injured people or defendants?
- What will the case involve, and how will you go about handling it? What is the process?
- How will you charge for your services?
