+ art education nourishes creative ability.
Children who study art learn how to discover original solutions to problems, discover innovative techniques, and are informed by the risk-taking and use of the imagination that artistic studies provide.
+ art education fosters communication skills
The complex graphics and fast paced imagery of the new media communicates ideas that need to be understood, analyzed, and critically discussed. art education provides the language of comprehension for this new media.
+art education offers marketable skills for the workplace of the future
The study of art develops qualities employers say they look for in employees: engagement in analytical and creative thinking, ability to develop and deliver product, a disciplined approach to personal skill development and a collaborative work skill set.
+art education will enhance our children's ability to compete in the global marketplace
Twenty first century skills will require sophisticated visual understanding. Daniel Pink, in his book A Whole New Mind, says that in the next millennium, right-brainers will rule the world! I highly recommend you read this book. Careers such as architecture, product design, computer imaging, communications and science rely heavily on visual training.
+art education improves student achievement in all areas of the curriculum
Skills and attributes cultivated by the study and making of art include:creativity, imagination,problem solving, critical thinking,self expression, self esteem transfer across to other studies.
+studying art encourages the attributes of self discipline and persistence
+studying art teaches about human nature and cultural diversity
+studying art encourages the participation of family, community and business
What better way to bring parents to school, for an art show, or connect school to the 'real world' than by inviting businesses, cultural institutions and the like to partner with student artists in their education?
+art making is basic to life
Art is the language of human expression. We use our visual sense to give meaning to the world around us. We take in information and create understandings daily in advertising, fashion, movies, architecture, media....each other's facial expressions...as they say, our eyes are the first place we take in and process information. The study of art helps us to define and understand ourselves and our world.

This Thanksgiving I've come home to Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is the city where I grew up and my mother now lives in the same house that my grandparents used to live in; a house my grandfather designed and built himself. The house and the town holds lots of wonderful memories for me but even as a child I knew Santa Cruz wouldn't be my home forever. Filled with surfers, self-proclaimed hippies and little shops selling crystals and tarot cards the city has always been unique but it isn't my scene. While I was a resident here I longed for the museums, department stores, restaurants, clubs, urban culture and ethnic diversity that can only be found in the larger cities of this country. It was my longing for those things that prompted me to move to San Francisco when I was only seventeen. It's what brought me to New York and now LA. Despite spending almost all of my childhood years in Santa Cruz I have always identified much more with San Francisco. Over the years Santa Cruz has grown considerably. There are condos where there used to be communes. But it's still Santa Cruz and I still know that I will never want to move back here.
And yet whenever I do come for a visit I remember what there is to love about this place. There is no denying its beauty. I love the way the seals and otters play in the harbor. I love the way the air is so crisp and clean. I love the sense of peace that permeates this place with the quiet roar of the ocean. Two Thanksgivings ago I took my son (then 10) to see the tide-pools by the beach and he pointed out a small crab who had made his home in one of them. "For that crab living in that tide-pool is like living in Santa Cruz," he said. "The crab's whole world is that tide-pool, he's totally sheltered and protected from the ocean and everything that's in it! He might not even know the ocean's there!"
"But," he said, looking up at me with a sweet little smile, "it's a very pretty tide-pool. Plus it's not like any of the other tide-pools around it. It's not a bad place for him to live."
As usual my son summed up my feelings in a metaphor that is much more accurate and poetic than anything I could have come up with myself.
Personally, I love living in my metaphorical ocean and I can't see myself ever giving it up for anything smaller or more tame. But I do enjoy visiting my old tide-pool every once in a while and I understand why so many of my childhood schoolmates have chosen to stay.
It's incredibly pretty here.

I'm at work being paid as I write this. It's our last shift as temps on this assignment. It's the last graveyard shift I hope forever. This past year has been hard, first making adjustments to living at night and sleeping days. Being hired and the extentions of the contract. So now we've reached the last day.
There are things I need to focus on now that I have only half-heartedly been handling. I'm laying out some goals for the next year and a half:
- Eliminate sugar from my life. This is really important. My overall health, the diabetes, everything depends on this.
- Daily workouts
- Decluttering the house.
- Find a second job and/or a better-paying F/T one.
- Get more rest
I'll be focusing here on 1 and 2 mostly. 3 is covered in the blog at clutterstruck.com. They're integrated goals since stress drives a large share of my bad eating habits.

5 Unique Furniture Ideas to Fit With Your New French Doors
French doors, along with moving glass walls allow the infusion of a cool breeze or the gentleness of warm sunlight into your home environment. From the colors to the style of the decor, it is important to find unique, idyllic furniture to complement the lovely openness of the room. Having a cohesive style for your home goes a long way towards creating a unified vision and identity for the kind of home you live in and the way you will live in it.
Image credit: https://houstonwindowexperts.com/products/doors/
Pillow Couches
A cozy design idea for a room with French doors or a moving glass wall are lofty pillow couches adorned with many plush decorative pillows. This style is ideal for a comfortable den that invokes lounging energy. Low wooden coffee tables are the best compliment to the little pillow couch. Underneath the pillow couch and small coffee table, place a fluffy, soft rug to complete the look.
Wooden Benches
Matching wooden benches make a great accessory to French doors, with seats on both sides of the doors. They can be simple seating areas to enjoy the streaming sunlight provided by the small-paned windows or the open door. They can also be a decorative piece to add character. Pillows will add a soft, cozy and stylish addition to the hardwood look. Benches are a very functional addition to a patio, porch, or deck. You'll want your bench to be mobile so you can enjoy sunny weather, but still be able to relocate your benches when the weather gets worse.

Wicker Furniture
Wicker furniture is a trendy and unique style of furniture that works well with French and a moving glass wall. Wicker furniture can come in a variety of styles and colors to match the decor idea you have in mind. This style of furniture fits perfectly in a pool house or the patio outside of your moving glass doors providing a casual appearance to complement the gentleness and openness of the doors.

Daybed Couches
Decorate your room with large and ornate daybeds that double as couches. You can place two wooden or wrought iron day beds with plush bedding and pillows facing a coffee table to give your room a cozy, yet unique vibe. If your family loves to lounge while enjoying each other's company, this is a fun way to encourage that. Get some professional movers to help you deliver these couches so you can enjoy your time lounging around.

Bold Colors
If your doors have bright colors or are adorned with curtains in a bold color or unique pattern, choose furniture that will complement that style. Simple striped patterned curtains and rugs can be offset with a bright red or orange couch to bring an exciting energy to the room. Or you can go for simple furniture pieces with bright colored curtains and rugs.

French doors are a wonderfully inviting choice for your home. Choose furniture that will bring the same feeling of peace, comfort, and openness while adding a unique flare to pull together the room allowing you to relax and enjoy your doors over the years.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A single mother in Whitehaven says she woke up to her boyfriend strangling her and then hitting her repeatedly in the face until she passed out.
Rita Allen survived the attack and then shared the details on Facebook in hopes of encouraging other victims to seek help. She thinks this exposure will benefit others.
"I couldn't believe it. That he would go to this extreme to do this," she said. "It was in the daytime."
Allen said Thursday afternoon was like any other. She was sleeping after working a long overnight shift.
"He came in. Started choking me," she said.
The single mother said she woke up to her boyfriend, Fredrick Bullock, on top of her.
"He was striking me at the same time and saying, 'I want to make sure nobody else wants you!' Hitting me in my face saying the same thing," she said.
Allen passed out.
"When I woke back up. I was on the bed. He still had me. His hands were around my throat. Choking me," she said.
Allen said she kept fighting and eventually escaped. She ran to her neighbor's house to call 911.
"He actually tried to kill me," she said.
Bullock was taken to jail on aggravated assault and kidnapping charges while Rita was taken to the hospital.
Hours later, she got on Facebook and told her story.
She posted picture of her injuries showing her swollen eye and bruised face. She wanted the world to know what happened.
"Spread. Share. Whatever I need to do to share my testimony. It's to help. It's not to have sympathy or nothing. It's to help the next person," she said.
Allen said like many others, she hid the abuse for years. Always forgiving and trying to forget
"He always said he was sorry. He was going to stop. It's like when he was stopping, it kept getting worse. It kept getting worse," she said.
Allen hopes her story encourages other victims to seek help.
"Please! Don't look over it. Get help. Abuse is real. I almost lost my life," she said wiping away tears.
She and her daughters will soon start counseling through the county.
If you or your loved one is being abused, call Family Safety Center's Crisis Line at 901-222-4400.

Christimas In July
Today I've gone from 30C temperatures and a water park to a winter wonderland LOL! I fell in love with this cute Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps Snow Friends couple the moment I saw them! You can't help but smile when you see them :) Actually the whole set is fabulous and I can't wait to use some of the other images.
I used an OCC sketch from a few weeks back for my layout and was thrilled to be able to pair it with my new Seeing Spots embossing folder. I have visited several of my regular haunts only to find it sold out, but this week was my lucky week - yeah!! That means I now have a small dot and a large dot embossing folder to play with so I'm purring like a kitty! In this case, since it's a Christmas themed card, the large dots reminded me of snowballs, so I decided to use it instead of snowflakes.
The snowmen are coloured with Twinkling H2O's since I don't own any Copics. I added glitter to make snow and also added glitter to her earmuff and his hat band and pompom. As you can see, I messed up on the hat colouring - ugh! I accidentally coloured the band blue instead of leaving it white so I tried to hide it by putting glitter over top, but it didn't work as you can still see the blue underneath. I'm blaming the cat LOL! I added this adorable sentiment, some pink ribbon and two blue snowflakes as per the sketch design and called it a card.
Thanks for visiting today and I'll see you tomorrow with my sample card for the next Curtain Call Colour Challenge!
What's In It?
Stamps: Snow Friends (Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps)
Paper: Night of Navy, Bordering Blue, Grey
Ink: Black
Accessories: Seeing Spots Embossing Folder, Large Scalloped Border Punch, Marvy Snowflake Punch, 5/8" Pink Satin Ribbon, Circle and Scalloped Circle Nesties, Twinkling H2O's, Glue Pen, Glitter, Dimensionals

Love the dot ef!...will this be replacing your fave swiss dots? Fantastic colours and punches. I really like the paper piercing in the corner.
It has been years since I've been to cultus lake water slides. We plan to take the kids in a few years when they are older. For now we might just slip into Dinotown in Bridal Falls the next time we head to Burnaby.

Having your water has many benefits, especially if you live in a distant place. You never run short of water distribution through the year and you do not have to rely on water distribution businesses. Water wells will also help meet your irrigation needs if you run a farm. Therefore, if you thought of drilling your own water well, it would help a whole lot to collect some understanding of the drilling equipment, in addition to about water well drilling equipment providers.
Drilling your water well is not simple. You need a lot of time and effort to do it. The equipment will go through a lot of grinds. That is why you need to make sure you buy the best equipment, which your budget can afford. Awful quality equipment will occasionally compromise your drilling job. Additionally, make sure that the equipment is capable of drilling the hole in a straight line. Distinct kinds of drilling equipment are readily available. You need to choose the equipment according to how big your drilling project. It is not difficult to use, but also sufficiently powerful to your project.
Selecting the proper water well drilling equipment providers is also quite important because normally, the producers with the most recommendations will be the individuals who produce the best quality equipment. 1 way to find information about these suppliers is to get online and research their recommendations and backgrounds. You'll find that there are websites on the internet, through which you can compare and observe their drilling equipment along with recommendations. Some providers concentrate on 1 type of equipment while others provide an assortment of equipment. If your needs were that you want a provider on the sort of equipment you are purchasing going for experts would be best. But in case you've got a drilling project that requires more than one kind of equipment, then opt for the ones who sell several kinds of equipment. This will cost you less than having to buy unique types of equipment from different providers. float valve repair kit
If you're planning to take advantage of your equipment for quite a while, you should always keep in mind that you would like your suppliers offered if anything comes up and your equipment is in need of fixing. Because of this, attempt to choose the most reputed water well drilling equipment, providers.
Learning About Water Well Drilling Equipment
There are lots of distinct types of water heaters. In order to produce these wells, water well drilling equipment is necessary. This drilling equipment changes depending on the kind of well that needs drilling. Irrespective of the details, drills all have something in common, being that they have something to take the water. Whether it is a simple bucket or a solar-powered water pump, then they eventually serve the same function. Throughout history, wells were dug out shovels and by hand. These days, powerful equipment with rotary drills is common, the same as those in petroleum drilling equipment.
There is also an assortment of wells to select from. Firstly, there are dug wells. All these have been dug by hand, with nothing but labor like shovels and picks. The equipment and way of digging these haven't changed over the centuries. Of course, the quality has improved a tremendous amount. These types of wells look like the wishing wells that are old-fashioned which it is possible to see in pictures of cottages. They have some stone around it and are generally circular to make sure individuals don't fall in them. Is a rope and bucket, which has lowered to recover the water. These structures exist in states, although international help has made it possible for the use of solar-powered pumps as well, rather than ropes and buckets. These kinds of wells are labor intensive to make and usually take up more space. Making molds by utilizing well drilling equipment signifies that the diameter of the well itself is considerably smaller and that they are ready much faster. Using this kind of equipment is very useful when the rocks cover the dirt, which can be labor-intensive to eliminate by the hand of course. The type of drill is quite similar to those used to drill for oil. Basically, a pipe hammers into the ground and a drill bit match into the earth through this pipe until water is found.
Using well drilling equipment is a lot faster and safer and allows water wells in several areas around the world. We all have seen the television allure for kids in the poorest countries, that have access to drinking water because their wells are not functioning and they don't have the capacity to make a nice. With the help of international help and some equipment, these situations can easily be avoided.

Men show that they care for a woman in a manner that is different from how women show it. If a man publicly displays his affection for you, just know he is not messing around. A man that has expressed his feelings to the world has shown extreme vulnerability and that is something he will only do for a woman he cares about.
Here are seven things men only do with the woman they love.
1. He listens.
You are not completely wrong if you sometimes think or see men as behaving like kids. Most men only focus on the things they are passionate about. If they love you, your voice sound like music so all you have to do is say something that they are interested in and you have their full attention. If a man truly loves you, he will go beyond hearing you. He will pay attention to your words.
2. He fights with you.
Yes, that is correct. Fights don't always mean that your relationship is going to hell. If he is truly invested in your relationship, he will fight, discuss and find solutions to the problems that caused the fight in the first place. It's a sign that he wants things to work out and as such, he tries to find the middle ground where you're both happy.
3. He makes sacrifices for your happiness.
This is one of the greatest signs of love. If he displeases himself to please you, it only means he wants you to be happy and is willing to put you above even himself.
4. He fights for your love.
A man that loves you will be willing to take punches as they come as long as it would mean that he keeps you for himself. A man that truly loves you will make it known to you that he feels lucky to have you as well as make it known that he wouldn't want to loose you.
5. He's proud of your achievements.
A man in love will see his woman's achievement as his own. It's similar to the feeling a mother has when are child does something outstanding for the first time. He won't compete with you, instead he will win with you.
6. He thinks you look beautiful even on your worst days.
You will always look beautiful to a man that loves you no matter how tough your day might have been.
7. He cares about your family and friends.
A man that loves you understand that there are other people in your life such as family and friends and because they are important to you, they are important to him as well. He will patiently listen to you as you share detailed stories about you families and your friends.
If there is a problem, he will offer suggestions with genuine interest just to ensure you are happy.

Your Future Is Not a Budget Item A s I'm sure many of you are aware, Congress recently negotiated a deal with President Trump to push back budget negotiations
When a RIF occurs, the first step is always to offer an early out to qualified employees. Ask yourself if you're willing to take an early out. If not, you may want to wait until round two, when buyouts are added to sweeten the pot. Only after these steps do involuntary cuts occur. Nobody gets an anvil dropped on their head out of the blue, even if the office gossip makes it feel that way. If you do take an early out, the next question you need to ask yourself is "Will I still need to work?" If so, how much do you need to earn? Set up these contingencies early, and you'll be taking a more active role in your planning. Nobody wants to go to work one day thinking everything is fine and be contemplating an early out the next. You don't need to act like the sky is falling, but watching the clouds is still worthwhile. Whenever I speak with clients, we are always developing plans for the future. When you're a government employee, it can certainly feel like your future is up to the whims of policy makers, but you have
a lot more power than you think. These conversations come up every October, and they'll return when the new budget deadline arrives again. Almost always, the looming deadline causes more concern and anxiety than anything that happens after it passes. If you've been a federal employee long enough, you know that policy change and administrative turnover is simply a fact of life. You've probably made it through more budget negotiations than you even realize. When you've made it through contentious Congress debates, government shutdowns, and decades of a party turnover at every level of government, you shouldn't let a regular budget negotiation keep you up at night. What you should do is keep your eye toward the future. Annual meetings, proactive thinking, and understanding your benefits and options will leave you on solid ground no matter what happens when Congress hashes out the budget. – Ann Vanderslice
three months beyond the standard October 1 deadline. Budget discussions always bring with them plenty of office scuttlebutt and watercooler talk. Looming budget cuts are a little bit like something that's also been in the news recently: hurricanes. Everyone is wondering if there will be a reduction in force (RIF) in their agencies and if they'll end up caught in the eye of the storm. can have on a government agency, and it's important to understand what the worst- case scenario is for your situation. That being said, the worst-case scenario rarely ends up happening, and there's plenty you can do to mitigate its impact. If you plan for the worst and do everything you can to control the factors over which you have some agency (sorry for the pun), suddenly the situation doesn't seem so scary. Creating your own options leaves you less at the mercy of forces that you cannot affect. Now, I don't want to understate the impact that budget deals and new fiscal years

| 18°C Dublin
It's a strange coincidence that one notorious murderer should lodge a last-minute appeal against his conviction on the same day that another loses a court challenge to his sentence of life imprisonment.
Apart from the timing, there are striking similarities between the cases of Joe O'Reilly and Graham Dwyer.
O'Reilly was convicted of battering his wife, Rachel, to death at their home in the Naul in north county Dublin on October 4, 2004.
He had struck her up to nine times with a blunt weapon in the main bedroom of their house.
Since his conviction in the central criminal court in July 2007, O'Reilly has made three appeals to the courts to have the decision overturned and, on each occasion, has been unsuccessful.
He lost his initial appeal against conviction in 2009 and again in 2012 he failed to have the decision quashed after arguing his detention in the Midlands Prison was illegal.
His third challenge, dismissed yesterday, was taken on the basis of a miscarriage of justice on the grounds of new or newly discovered facts.
Now that Dwyer has headed down the appeals route, it is worth recalling that both were high-profile cases that were notable for capturing the attention of the nation in a way that few other criminal investigations and subsequent trials had achieved.
Gardaí made massive efforts to pursue every possible lead and employ every technological aid available to them in their quest to ensure justice was done on behalf of the victims and their families.
But it was the mobile phone evidence that formed a crucial element of the case against both accused.
Experts in the Dwyer case found evidence of nearly 5,000 texts sent back and forth between him and Elaine O'Hara between January 2008 and the night she was killed, including 64 on the day she disappeared.
In the texts, Dwyer repeatedly referred to a sadistic and perverted fantasy he had to stab a woman to death, suggesting various potential victims.
But he always returned to Elaine O'Hara with his fantasies and in the end he was linked to his victim by a phone examined by crime analyst Sarah Skedd after it had been recovered from the Vartry reservoir in Roundwood, Co Wickow.
She made the breakthrough after painstakingly trawling through data on mobile phone cell sites and toll booths as he travelled on journeys outside Dublin.
In the Rachel O'Reilly murder, gardaí were able to disprove an alibi claim by her husband, Joe, that he was at the bus depot in Broadstone in north Dublin city at the time of her killing.
Rachel was said to have died at around 9.41am, shortly after she had returned home from taking the children to school.
But evidence was given which proved that his mobile communicated with a phone mast, a short distance from the couple's home, at 9.25am and again at 9.52am.
Former Assistant Garda Commissioner Martin Donnellan, who was one of the lead investigators, said afterwards that much of the evidence against O'Reilly had been circumstantial but "what really put the case to bed" was the details of the whereabouts of his mobile phone during the crucial time period that Rachel had been murdered.
It was the first time that such evidence had been accepted by the courts.
And as was shown subsequently in the Dwyer case, it became a landmark decision for future criminal investigations.

While legislators introduced two bills in the 83rd Texas Legislature that, if passed, would have reduced penalties for marijuana possession in Texas, legislators also considered two additional bills that, if passed, would have worsened policies in Texas concerning marijuana possession.
Representative Rick Miller, of Fort Bend County, introduced a bill that sought to broaden the scope of Texas' criminal offense of "delivery of marijuana" to also include "intent to deliver marijuana." This bill would have increased the penalty for delivery of ¼ oz. or less of marijuana, where there is no payment involved, from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class A misdemeanor. The bill would have also required the same penalty for intent to deliver. This bill only made it to the first stage of the legislative process and thankfully did not even come close to passage.
Another questionable bill was introduced by Representative Allen Fletcher of Harris County. Rep. Fletcher introduced a bill, which would have created a new, distinct crime for possessing marijuana plants with the intent to grow. Such possession of marijuana plants with intent to grow is already a felony under Texas law. Rep. Fletcher's bill did pass two stages of the legislative process, but fortunately did not make it far enough to receive a house vote.
Compared to the expansion of drug laws that legislators enacted in the 82nd Texas Legislature, one could view the lack of action regarding marijuana laws in the recently concluded 83rd Texas Legislature as a good thing. In the 82nd Texas Legislature, legislators added synthetic marijuana to the Texas Controlled Substances Act. Because of this addition to Texas drug laws, under current state law if an individual possesses synthetic marijuana, a prosecutor could charge him with a variety of drug offenses. These offenses include possession of a controlled substance, possession with intent to distribute, and drug manufacturing. Under the enacted law, possession of synthetic marijuana could result in criminal charges ranging from a Class B misdemeanor to a felony of the first degree. Punishment for possessing synthetic marijuana varies from jail sentence up to 180 days and/or a fine up to $2,000, to a jail sentence ranging from five to 99 years or life imprisonment and/or a fine up to $50,000.
Synthetic marijuana is described as any quantity of a synthetic chemical compound that is a cannabinoid receptor agonist and mimics the effects of naturally occurring cannabinoids, including substances labeled "Spice" and "K2" formerly sold by small retail stores. If one faces legal issues over possession of such substances, he or she is strongly encouraged to contact a criminal defense attorney who is knowledgeable in the field of drug law.

Zen Priest, Daigaku Rumme, describes Zen as both a teaching and practice. Rumme, from the Sōtō Zen tradition, explains that Zen points to the underlying reality that transcends past, present and future. This belief, brought to Japan by Dōgen Zenji, states that "Every person is amply endowed with the Dharma, but without practice it will not be manifested."
Zazen meditation is the heart of the practice. Rumme describes zazen as sitting quietly with the initial goal to "sit forgetting (that you're) sitting", adding, "it is no easy thing to do." Ultimately, the goal of zazen is to "eliminate that sense of separation that we sense between the self and what ever we're doing or whatever object that is in our conscience."

Commuting Guide for Arcadia Residents
With year-round sun and warm temperatures, it's no surprise that central Arizona is a widely popular place to settle down. Despite having Phoenix and Scottsdale just a short drive away, Arizona also has plenty of great neighborhoods to offer. One of these neighborhoods is Arcadia. Gorgeous homes with big plots of land decorate this town and make it a great place to call it a home for life. However, many who live there have a daily commute to the nearby areas, so we are here to help steer you in the right direction. Here is a commuting guide for Arcadia residents.
Rush Hour
The primary mode of transportation for commuting Arcadians is a fuel-efficient car, so you need to know the ins and outs of the traffic patterns in order to always be on time. On a day with very light traffic, the typical drive from Arcadia to Phoenix is typically around 17 minutes (traveling around 10.2 miles). However, getting to work in 17 minutes in the morning would be nothing short of a miracle.
While rush hour in many large cities is a never-ending occurrence, Phoenicians are lucky. Here is a more specific breakdown: the morning rush starts at about 6:30am and clears up a good deal by 9 a.m., the "lunch break" rush hour is typically from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., and evening traffic spreads out from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you plan accordingly, and always leave more than enough extra time for yourself, you should get to work on time with no issues.
Public Transportation
We understand that not everyone owns a car. But if that is the case, you will need another mode of transportation to get to work every day. Popular public transport in Phoenix include Local, Express, and RAPID commuter bus services, vanpool service, Valley Metro Rail, neighborhood circulators, and handy ride apps like Uber and Lyft.
If you take the bus or train, just make sure you look at which stops are closest to your home. This is an excellent way to travel since you don't have to focus on driving and have the opportunity to get some work done. The public transportation system in Phoenix is average, but there are new improvements in the works every year.
While the bus and train routes are always the same and preplanned, taking your car always gives you more leeway to drive different routes. A good route to get to Downtown Phoenix is driving South on N. 56th Street and N. 52nd Street, then going West on E. Van Buren straight towards Phoenix.
If you want to get to Scottsdale, however, it is much simpler. With Arcadia practically bordering Scottsdale, it should be a faster trip. It is only about a 2.5-mile drive, and you can get there by simply taking E. Indian School Road. Getting across Scottsdale is simple when driving on Miller Road. With few stop lights, this two lane road is a local secret.
Utilizing Time
As mentioned with taking public transportation, chances are, you will have a good amount of down time no matter how you travel. So instead of stressing about the traffic, utilize your time by reading your favorite book, taking a power nap, or getting some paperwork done – with public transport, of course.
If you're commuting with your vehicle, you can use that time to listen to soothing music, an audio book, or an educational podcast. There is not enough time in a day so make those traffic delays count!
A great thing about Arizona and its central cities is that it doesn't compare to the nightmare rush hour and traffic that cities like New York and Los Angeles experience. So, when you're commuting from Arcadia to downtown Phoenix or Scottsdale, just remember that other people have it way worse – and you'll instantly feel better. Make sure you take advantage of all the resources that are available. There are other guides out there if you're commuting from other cities as well!

Hey fanatics hope you have all been well! I talked to Commanderbunbun in my last post about trying some different games. It was suggested I stick with the g+! It was a good choice! I played so many different games Cleopatra 2, Wonder 4, wicked winnings 3, piggy banking, oceans magic, china shores, and many other games. I could't get on where's the gold like was suggested because it was taken!
The lions paid very well though after a few bonuses! I played Wonder 4 original and got a 5 coin trigger of buffalo coins 20 super free games betting $3.20 and only won 39 dollars ! lol. I never play that game but what a gyp. Also all 5 symbols on mystical Worlds the Napoleon clone. I didn't get ripped off as bad but still terrible. Hope to keep the luck going and maybe play some more old aristocrat. Any other game suggestions would be great for a low medium roller like me!
Anyway I gave a shout out to commanderbunbun and Rich99! Best of luck and thanks for reading/watching!

Monday night, on the final episode of the Directors' Cut this semester, Isaiah and I broke down a dozen of the upcoming bowl games. We also spoke to former NFL quarterback, and current ESPN color analyst, Dan Orlovsky, about the three games he'll be on call for (the Gasparilla, Pinstripe and Liberty bowls). Here's what he had to say, along with our picks and analysis for every bowl game this year.
The picks:
Saturday, December 15
Autonation Cure Bowl – Orlando, FL
Tulane (6-6) vs Louisiana-Lafayette (7-6) – CBS Sports 1:30 PM
Joe: Both teams rank in the bottom third of the country in terms of total defense, but both squads boast top-30 running games. Advantage to the Cajuns and RB Trey Ragas. Louisiana-Lafayette.
Isaiah: The Rajun-Cajuns win because of their offensive balanced attack. Louisiana-Lafayette.
New Mexico Bowl – Albuquerque, NM
Utah State (10-2) vs North Texas (9-3) – ESPN 2 PM
Joe: Expect a shootout as Mason Fine (UNT) threw for the eighth most yards in the country. Ultimately, the Aggies have a more versatile offense, and defend the pass slightly better. Utah State.
Isaiah: Utah State's only losses are on the road against quality opponents, and they've been impressive on both sides of the ball. The Aggies will be too much for North Texas. Utah State.
Las Vegas Bowl – Las Vegas, NV
Arizona State (7-5) vs #21 Fresno State (11-2) – ABC 3:30 PM
Joe: The Sun Devils will be without star wideout N'Keal Harry as he will likely be a first-round pick in this year's NFL Draft. KeeSean Johnson had the eighth most receiving yards in the country and will play for the Bulldogs. Give me Fresno and their top-three scoring D. Fresno State.
Isaiah: Without N'Keal Harry, Arizona State is going to struggle to move the ball on offense. Fresno State picks up the victory. Fresno State.
Camellia Bowl – Montgomery, AL
Georgia Southern (9-3) vs Eastern Michigan (7-5) – ESPN 5:30 PM
Joe: Georgia Southern has one of the best ground games in the country, and MAC teams don't win bowl games. Georgia Southern.
Isaiah: Eastern Michigan won't be able to stop Georgia Southern's ground attack. Georgia Southern.
New Orleans Bowl – New Orleans, LA
Middle Tennessee State (8-5) vs Appalachian State (10-2) – ESPN 9 PM
Joe: The Blue Raiders always turn in a dynamic air attack, but the Mountaineers defense might be too stout. Most would be concerned with the fact that App State's coach left for Louisville, but I say they use it as fuel. Appalachian State.
Isaiah: Appalachian State has been impressive on both sides of the ball, which should carry them to victory over the Blue Raiders. Appalachian State.
Tuesday, December 18
Boca Raton Bowl – Boca Raton, FL
UAB (10-3) vs Northern Illinois (8-5) – ESPN 7 PM
Joe: Coach Bill Clark at UAB just won the Eddie Robinson Award which goes to the coach of the year. Last year, after taking a newly revived program to the Bahamas Bowl, the Blazers got blown out. I expect a different outcome this year. UAB.
Isaiah: Northern Illinois's defense carries the team one last time this season to a victory in Boca. Northern Illinois.
Wednesday, December 19
Frisco Bowl – Frisco, TX
San Diego State (7-5) vs Ohio (8-4) – ESPN 8 PM
Joe: The Aztecs' lack of a passing game concerns me here. Juwan Washington is a good RB, but he isn't Donnell Pumphrey or Rashaad Penny. Look for a Bobcats team that averages over 40 ppg to put up some points. Ohio.
Isaiah: A high-powered Bobcats offense leads them to another win over the Aztecs. Ohio.
Thursday, December 20
Gasparilla Bowl – Tampa Bay, FL
Marshall (8-4) vs USF (7-5) – ESPN 8 PM
Joe: USF hasn't won a game since starting the year 7-0. In those five straight losses, their QBs have thrown more interceptions than touchdowns. Marshall's defense should have a field day. Marshall.
Isaiah: South Florida is too talented for Marshall. After five straight losses, the Bulls will end their season with a win. USF.
Friday, December 21
Bahamas Bowl – Nassau, Bahamas
Florida International (8-4) vs Toledo (7-5) – ESPN 12:30 PM
Joe: Only once in the four-year history of the Bahamas Bowl has the winning team not scored 40 points. Expect a shootout between two programs that average over 34 ppg each. The Panthers have the better quarterback and the better defense though, so that leads them to a win. FIU.
Isaiah: The Rockets' offense puts them over the top in a tight game with FIU. Toledo.
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl – Boise, ID
Western Michigan (7-5) vs BYU (6-6) – ESPN 4 PM
Joe: BYU has a top-20 defense and the MAC doesn't see a lot of D. In a low scoring affair, WMU wouldn't stand a chance. BYU.
Isaiah: BYU's defense is too much for the Broncos to score on. BYU.
Saturday, December 22
Birmingham Bowl – Birmingham, AL
Memphis (8-5) vs Wake Forest (6-6) – ESPN 12 PM
Joe: This would be different if Memphis RB Darrell Henderson was playing, but the nation's second-leading rusher is sitting out to prepare for the NFL Draft. Wake Forest.
Isaiah: Even without Darrell Henderson, the Tigers are the superior team in this one and have too much offense for Wake. Memphis.
Armed Forces Bowl – Fort Worth, TX
Houston (8-4) vs Army (10-2) – ESPN 3:30 PM
Joe: The Knights had one of their best seasons in the last 50 years. They sold me when they took Kyler Murray and the Sooners to OT in Norman back in September, and I think they'll slow down a potent Houston offense in Fort Worth. Army.
Isaiah: Army has had a great season, and Houston has fallen off as of late, so the Knights will win this one. Army.
Dollar General Bowl – Mobile, AL
Buffalo (10-3) vs Troy (9-3) – ESPN 7 PM
Joe: UB didn't end the year on a good note, losing two of three and this game is in Troy's backyard. As explosive as Tyree Jackson is, I think the Trojans defense contains him and B.J. Smith runs rampant. Troy.
Isaiah: The Bulls' explosiveness offensively will carry them to a win over Troy. Buffalo.
Hawaii Bowl – Honolulu, HI
Hawaii (8-5) vs Louisiana Tech (7-5) – ESPN 10:30 PM
Joe: Not being on Christmas Eve makes this the first Hawai'i Bowl I'll watch in my life. Cole McDonald was one of the best quarterbacks in the country this year so give me him and the Rainbow Warriors in Aloha Stadium. Hawai'i.
Isaiah: Despite Hawaii being the home team, I've got the Bulldogs pulling off the upset because of Hawaii's poor defense. Louisiana Tech.
Wednesday, December 26
First Responder Bowl – Dallas, TX
Boston College (7-5) vs #25 Boise State (10-3) – ESPN 1:30 PM
Joe: BC really tailed off to end the year, losing three straight. Boise was better on both sides of the ball, and after blowing an early season matchup with Oklahoma State, will get revenge against a Power-Five team. Boise State.
Isaiah: BC's offense is too one-dimensional. Boise State's balanced attack will lead them to victory. Boise State.
Quick Lane Bowl – Detroit, MI
Minnesota (6-6) vs Georgia Tech (7-5) – ESPN 5:15 PM
Joe: Georgia Tech and the triple option are coming into this one hot, and led by new head coach Geoff Collins, who knows a thing or two about winning, the Yellow Jackets should run all over Minnesota. Georgia Tech.
Isaiah: Minnesota will slow down the Georgia Tech triple option and win this one. Minnesota.
Cheez-It Bowl – Phoenix, AZ
California (7-5) vs TCU (6-6) – ESPN 9 PM
Joe: Cal had a top-20 defense in the country while playing in a conference where defense is not a point of emphasis. The Horned Frogs struggled to find any consistency all year. Cal.
Isaiah: The Golden Bears' defense leads the way to a victory in a low scoring game. Cal.
Thursday, December 27
Independence Bowl – Shreveport, LA
Temple (8-4) vs Duke (7-5) – ESPN 1:30 PM
Joe: If you watched Temple's interim head coach, Ed Foley, the other day and you pick against the Owls, you're crazy! Temple.
Isaiah: Temple's offense will avoid turning the ball over and beat the Blue Devils. Temple.
***Just in case you didn't see the press conference, take a look. You won't regret it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoGyJfSMyrw
Pinstripe Bowl – Bronx, NY
Miami (7-5) vs Wisconsin (7-5) – ESPN 5:15 PM
Joe: A matchup of two teams that were ranked in the top eight this preseason. Jonathon Taylor finished just shy of 2,000 yards this season yet only came in ninth in Heisman voting. He'll come in chippy, and the Badgers ground game should knock Miami's second-ranked D on its heels in the brutal cold of a New York winter. Wisconsin.
Isaiah: A big day from Jonathon Taylor will lead the Badgers to victory. Wisconsin.
Texas Bowl – Houston, TX
Baylor (6-6) vs Vanderbilt (6-6) – ESPN 9 PM
Joe: Neither of these teams are good, but here we are. The Commodores play more defense and a tougher schedule, so I guess I'll take them with little confidence. Vanderbilt.
Isaiah: Vandy's defense steps up in this game and gets them a win. Vanderbilt.
Friday, December 28
Music City Bowl – Nashville, TN
Purdue (6-6) vs Auburn (7-5) – ESPN 1:30 PM
Joe: Tyler Strong. Expect Purdue to come out here and play this game for their superfan, and honorary team captain, Tyler Trent, who's currently fighting for his life. Auburn's also 1-4 in their last five bowl games. Purdue.
Isaiah: Auburn's defense slows down Purdue's aerial attack and wins the game. Auburn.
Camping World Bowl – Orlando, FL
#16 West Virginia (8-3) vs #20 Syracuse (9-3) – ESPN 5:15 PM
Joe: No Grier = No shot. Expect Eric Dungy to light up a non-existent West Virginia D in a game that would've been a shootout, and probably a win for the Mountaineers, had Grier played. Syracuse.
Isaiah: No Will Grier for WVU opens the door for Syracuse's explosive offense to win a one-sided game. Syracuse.
Alamo Bowl – San Antonio, TX
#13 Washington State (10-2) vs #24 Iowa State (8-4) – ESPN 9 PM
Joe: Iowa State's great at home but was just 2-3 away from Ames this year. Their passing D is middle of the road and going up against the best aerial attack in the country, they don't stand a chance. Gardner Minshew and the Cougars roll. Washington State.
Isaiah: Washington State rolls in this game behind a big day from Gardner Minshew II. Washington State.
Saturday, December 29
Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl – Atlanta, GA
#10 Florida (9-3) vs #7 Michigan (10-2) – ESPN 12 PM
Joe: Michigan's only losses came against an unbeaten Notre Dame team and the second-best offense in the country in Ohio State. As good as Florida's defense is, they struggled to score any time they faced a formidable D. Michigan.
Isaiah: Florida won't have enough offense to keep up with the Wolverines. Michigan.
Belk Bowl – Charlotte, NC
Virginia (7-5) vs South Carolina (7-5) – ABC 12 PM
Joe: The ACC just wasn't good outside of Clemson and Syracuse. South Carolina's 7-5 looks a lot better than Virginia's, who gave away their last game of the year to V Tech. Jordan Bentley and the Cocks win a close one over a team that can't finish games. South Carolina.
Isaiah: The Gamecocks are the better overall team here. South Carolina.
Arizona Bowl – Tucson, AZ
Arkansas State (8-4) vs Nevada (7-5) – CBS Sports 1:15 PM
Joe: Things were going well for the Wolfpack before surrendering 34 points in a Rivalry Week loss to UNLV (4-8). Arkansas State hasn't allowed more than 17 points in four games. Arkansas State.
Isaiah: Nevada beats the Red Wolves in a shootout. Nevada.
Goodyear Cotton Bowl – Arlington, TX
#3 Notre Dame (12-0) vs #2 Clemson (13-0) – ESPN 4 PM
Joe: Notre Dame is excellent on both side of the ball, and they've managed to do what's necessary to win this season without that almost annual slip up, but Clemson is superior in every category. If Lawrence limits his number of mistakes to one, the Tigers will win the TO battle and Etienne should find the endzone as he's done 21 times this year (3rd best nationally). Clemson.
Isaiah: Clemson's balanced attack will help the Tigers pull away from the Irish in the second half. Clemson.
Capital One Orange Bowl – Miami, FL
#4 Oklahoma (12-1) vs #1 Alabama (13-0) – ESPN 8 PM
Joe: Look for a shootout as the top-two scoring offenses in the country match up. Unfortunately, the Sooners D that let up 40+ points in four straight games before holding Texas to 27 won't be able to stop a Bama O that averages 47. On the flip side Oklahoma's #1 scoring O that averages 49 per game won't be able to score more than 35 against Nick Saban's defense. Alabama.
Isaiah: Alabama is going to slow down Kyler Murray a little bit, but it will be enough because Oklahoma's defense isn't good enough to stop the Tide. Alabama.
Monday, December 31
Military Bowl – Annapolis, MD
Cincinnati (10-2) vs Virginia Tech (6-6) – ESPN 12 PM
Joe: Usually the Hokies win with defense. This time, it's the Bearcats who rank in the top eight in both total defense and scoring. V Tech had to pay Marshall to be bowl eligible and keep their streak alive, but they'll go home with a losing record. Cincinnati.
Isaiah: The Bearcats are better than the Hokies on both sides of the ball. Cincinnati.
Sun Bowl – El Paso, TX
Stanford (8-4) vs Pittsburgh (7-5) – CBS 2 PM
Joe: It's pretty uncharacteristic of a Stanford defense to rank 78th in the country. Even more shocking is that Bryce Love is the second-best RB in this game. Qadree Ollison and Coach Narduzzi's Panthers will blow by the Cardinal. Pitt.
Isaiah: The Cardinal defense will slow down Pitt's rushing attack enough to win the game. Stanford.
Redbox Bowl – Santa Clara, CA
Oregon (8-4) vs Michigan State (7-5) – FOX 3 PM
Joe: Michigan State hasn't scored more than 14 points since November 3 and has only eclipsed 20 points six times all year. The Ducks have scored less than 20 just once. While Sparty's run D is strong, their pass coverage won't be able to slow Oregon down. Oregon.
Isaiah: Michigan State won't be able to keep up with Oregon offensively, and the Ducks will come away with the win. Oregon.
Liberty Bowl – Nashville, TN
#23 Missouri (8-4) vs Oklahoma State (6-6) – ESPN 3:45 PM
Joe: It's Drew Lock's last chance to air it out in a game before scouts and who better to do it against than a bottom-25 passing defense. Missouri's much more component on each side of the ball and will win against their former Big12 opponent. Missouri.
Isaiah: Drew Locke is going to lead an explosive offense past an inconsistent Oklahoma State team. Missouri.
Holiday Bowl – San Diego, CA
#22 Northwestern (8-5) vs Utah #17 (9-4) – FS1 7 PM
Joe: Utah has a great defense, but like Iowa State, struggles away from home. They'll be closer to the neutral site in San Diego than Northwestern, but I doubt their ability to show up as prepared and pumped as Pat Fitzgerald's Wildcats. Northwestern.
Isaiah: The Wildcats have been good on the road this season and I think they travel to the west coast and win again. Northwestern.
Gator Bowl – Jacksonville, FL
NC State (9-3) vs #19 Texas A&M (8-4) – ESPN 7:30 PM
Joe: Ryan Finley is a top-10 QB in the country for a second year in a row. He'll have to outscore an Aggies offense led by 1,500-yard rusher Trayveon Williams and his six yards per carry. This one should come down to defense, and the Aggies allowed just 22 ppg, not counting their seven-overtime, 74-72, win over LSU to cap off their year. Texas A&M.
Isaiah: NC State has struggled against explosive offenses, and they'll lose to the Aggies. Texas A&M.
Tuesday, January 1
Outback Bowl – Tampa Bay, FL
#18 Mississippi State (8-4) vs Iowa (8-4) – ESPN2 12 PM
Joe: The 11th-best scoring defense of the Iowa Hawkeyes heads down south to take on the most stubborn defense in the country, allowing just 12 ppg, in Mississippi State. Nick Fitzgerald, one of the best dual-threat QBs in the country, should be able to navigate the black and gold en route to a Bulldog victory. Mississippi State.
Isaiah: Mississippi State's defense has been outstanding this year, and they play well again and beat the Hawkeyes. Mississippi State.
Citrus Bowl – Orlando, FL
#12 Penn State (9-3) vs #14 Kentucky (9-3) – ABC 1 PM
Joe: Penn State's offensive line has only allowed 25 sacks this season. Getting to Trace McSorely is going to be the only way for Kentucky to win, led by the nation's best linebacker, Josh Allen. If they pressure McSorely they have the advantage because each team has a great ground game, but Penn State's versatility gives them the W. Penn State.
Isaiah: McSorely puts Penn State over the top in this one and helps them beat Kentucky. Penn State.
PlayStation Fiesta Bowl – Glendale, AZ
#8 UCF (12-0) vs #11 LSU (9-3) – ESPN 1 PM
Joe: Even though LSU's defense ranked 57 spots higher in terms of ypg, these two teams have nearly identical scoring defenses, and Greedy Williams, the Tigers' star cornerback, will skip the game for NFL Draft preparation. UCF's offensive versatility will enable them to win even without McKenzie Milton because of RB Greg McCrae who's amassed 1,100 yards on just 120 carries (over nine yards per carry). UCF.
Isaiah: Greedy or not, LSU is just too good defensively. They'll have enough on offense to beat the Knights. LSU.
Rose Bowl – Pasadena, CA
#6 Ohio State (12-1) vs #9 Washington (10-3) – ESPN 5 PM
Joe: The Granddaddy of 'em all pins the fourth best scoring offense among Power-Five teams against the fourth best scoring defense. Much like college football has gone this year, I'll go with the offense in this one. Dwayne Haskins is making one last case to move ahead Herbert, Grier and Lock in scouts' eyes. Ohio State.
Isaiah: The Buckeyes' offense is too much to keep up with for Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies. Ohio State.
Allstate Sugar Bowl – New Orleans, LA
#5 Georgia (11-2) vs #15 Texas (9-4) – ESPN 8:45 PM
Joe: Sam Ehlinger is a great QB who had a phenomenal season, and it's been fun to watch the connection between him and Lil J Humphries, but Jake Fromm is a future first rounder and the backfield duo of D'Andre Swift and Elijah Holyfield that ran for a combined 1,993 yards is just as effective as Nick Chubb and Sony Michel were last year. Expect the Bulldogs to pull away in the second half. Georgia.
Isaiah: The Bulldogs are just too good on each side of the ball for Texas. Georgia.
Monday, January 7
CFP National Championship Presented by AT&T – Santa Clara, CA
Teams TBD – ESPN 8 PM
Joe: Part IV. This would make three of the past four title games a Bama-Clemson match up, and four straight years in the CFP where these two have met. Trevor Lawrence is primed for that freshman slip up, and we all know Tua has proven to be primetime ready. Tide Roll, 24-13.
Isaiah: Tua Tagovailoa and that defense are too much for Clemson to handle so Alabama wins another national title. Alabama.

This notice explains how your information may be held and used by companies within the Coomputer Group.
The companies within the Coomputer Group are:
By "information" we mean all of the personal and financial information about you that we collect, use, share and store. The information we hold will vary according to the account and relationship you have with us. It can include but isn't limited to:
We collect information directly from you and others.
You may give us information in:
We also get information from:
We'll also analyse and combine the information collected (sometimes automatically) to understand the way you use your account and our services as well as what you might like and what you might do. Through our analysis we may create a profile of you to help us predict your financial behaviour and preferences so we can provide services to you ('profile information').
Data Protection law requires us to have one or more of the following reasons for using your information:
These are the main ways we'll use your personal information (and the reasons for doing so):
(Contract performance; Legal obligation)
The law requires us to verify the identity of our new customers and to re-verify the identity of our existing customers from time to time. This is so we know who our customers are and to make it more difficult for criminals to use false or impersonated identities for criminal purposes, such as hiding the proceeds of crime or committing fraud.
To verify your identity we'll check the information you provide to us with credit reference agencies and publicly available information.
We'll also check that you meet the criteria to receive the product or service we're offering.
(Contract performance; Legal obligation)
We'll use your information to manage any account, product, service or relationship you have with us, in line with the terms of that arrangement and the rules of our regulators. Examples of this are:
(Contract performance; Legal obligation; Legitimate interest)
We have a legitimate interest in only lending money to customers who are able to repay it. Our regulators also require us to lend money in a responsible manner. So whenever you apply for credit (e.g. a mortgage, credit card or overdraft) or any increased borrowing on an existing product, we'll use the information you give us and that we may already hold to assess the risk to us. We'll also get information from credit reference agencies to undertake credit scoring and/or other risk assessments of your application.
Credit scoring is a way of making fair and responsible decisions about lending money. It's an automated process that assesses how you're likely to run your account, using information from a range of sources to make a decision (see 'Where we collect information from').
We'll tell you when an application for credit is declined by our automated credit scoring process and you'll have the right to ask one of our team to assess it again.
If you hold a credit card with us we'll also use credit scoring to decide whether to maintain, increase or decrease your credit limit or the interest rate(s) that apply to your account. If we notify you of a change to your credit limit or interest rate based on our credit scoring process, you'll have the right to ask one of our team to assess it again.
(Legal obligation; Legitimate interest)
The law requires us to screen applications and to monitor accounts to help combat the threats posed to our society by terrorism and money-laundering and other financial crime. We also have a legitimate interest in avoiding losses caused by financial crime such as fraud.
We may check and share relevant information held by us with fraud prevention agencies, law enforcement and other government agencies for the purpose of preventing, detecting and prosecuting financial crime and the funding of terrorism.
(Contract performance; Legitimate interest)
We have a legitimate interest in recovering debts that are due to us if there isn't a satisfactory plan in place to repay them. We may instruct a debt collection agent or solicitor to act for us in recovering the debt, including by bringing legal proceedings in the courts and we'll provide relevant information to them to help recover any money that is owed to us.
(Legal obligation; Legitimate interest)
We have a legitimate interest in making improvements to how we provide our services and to improve the security and resilience of the Union Bank of Switzerland systems we use. We must also respond to any changes in law or regulation that relates to the protection of the information we hold.
We may use the information we hold to help us develop and test our systems (including new technologies and services) to ensure that they are safe and will work in the ways in which we expect them to. When we do this we'll use processes and technologies that are designed to keep this information secure.
(Legitimate interest; Consent)
The range of products and services we offer (including those provided by companies outside the Coomputer Group) is constantly evolving.
We have a legitimate interest in telling you about our products, services and any new developments that we think may interest you, but only where we are permitted to do so. For some marketing activity, including telling you about the products and services of other companies, we will need to ask for your consent to use your information. We don't want to send you irrelevant or excessive information, so we'll use the information we hold particularly profile information, to decide what to tell you, and how and when we'll do this.
You have a legal right to tell us at any time that you don't want us to use the information we hold in this way or to withdraw any consent that you have given to us.
We'll only get in touch in the ways you've told us are acceptable to you. If you've said you don't want to see marketing information, you'll not receive it. You can opt in to, or out of, receiving marketing information at any time by contacting us in the usual way.
(Legal obligation; Legitimate interest)
We have a legitimate interest in organising and running our business in a correct and commercially sensible way and to comply with our legal and regulatory responsibilities to the UK financial system. We may use the information we hold to:
We may also use the information we hold for any other purposes that you have specifically consented to at any time (including over the phone or in our Stores) or, in some limited circumstances, when the law requires or permits us to.
When using the information we hold we may share it with other people or organisations.
We'll treat the information we hold as confidential and may share information with the following who are also required to keep the information confidential, safe and secure:
We may also share information we hold with the following types of organisation:
To assess an application for a product or service we'll perform identity checks on you with one or more credit reference agencies (CRAs). Where you apply for credit we'll also perform credit checks on you with the CRAs. We may also make periodic checks with CRAs to manage your account with us.
To do this we'll pass your information to CRAs and they'll give us information about you. The information we'll supply includes information from your application and your financial situation and history. CRAs will also supply us with public (including the electoral register) and shared credit, financial situation and financial history information and fraud prevention information.
We'll continue to exchange information about you with CRAs while you have a relationship with us. We'll also inform the CRAs about your settled accounts. If you borrow and do not repay in full and on time, CRAs will record the outstanding debt. They may supply this information to other organisations.
When CRAs do a credit search they'll place a footprint on your credit file that may be seen by other lenders and may affect your ability to borrow from them.
If you're making a joint application, or you tell us that you have a spouse or financial associate, we'll link your records together - so you should make sure they know what you're doing, and share this information with them, before applying. CRAs will also link your records together. If you later want to break this link you need to talk directly to the CRAs.
The identities of the CRAs, their role as fraud prevention agencies, the data they hold, the ways in which they use and share information, data retention periods and your data protection rights with the CRAs are explained in more detail in the CRA Information Notice (CRAIN).
The CRAs described above also perform roles as fraud prevention agencies (FPAs). In addition we're a member of CIFAS and National Hunter which are both FPAs.
Before providing a product or service to you we may undertake checks with the FPAs for the purpose of preventing and detecting fraud or money laundering. To do this we'll supply your information to FPAs and they'll give us information about you. This will include information from your application or we have received from third parties.
If we or a FPA believes you pose a fraud or money laundering risk, we may refuse to provide a new product or service to you or we may stop providing an existing product or service. We may share any relevant information we receive from a FPA with the CRAs.
We and FPAs may also allow law enforcement agencies to access and use your information to detect, investigate and prevent crime.
All countries within the EEA, which includes the UK, have similar standards of legal protection for your personal information. To provide some products and services we transfer and process information in countries outside the EEA (e.g. the United States) where there aren't similar standards. For example, if you hold a credit or debit card with us, we'll share transaction details with the payment network (e.g. MasterCard) who may process this information worldwide.
In these cases we'll take all reasonable steps necessary to make sure your information is protected to UK standards. This may be through only allowing transfers to countries which have been officially recognised as having an adequate legal framework for the protection of information (an 'adequacy decision'). It may be through having recognised safeguards in place with our commercial partners, such as using standard terms in the contracts we have with them that are recognised and approved by our regulators as imposing high standards for the protection of information or where our commercial partner is a signatory to a recognised and binding code of conduct.
To find out more about any particular uses of information in countries outside the EEA, the existence of an "adequacy decision" for that country or the safeguards we have put in place, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
We'll retain information for no longer than is necessary to manage your relationship with us (see 'Why we need the information and what we use if for'.) and this will mean that we'll continue to hold some information for a period of time after your account has closed or our relationship has ended. This is to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations to keep records of our relationship, to resolve disputes or where it may be needed for future legal proceedings.
The law guarantees you rights in relation to your personal information. We have set out details of your rights below under individual headings.
You always have the right to ask whether or not we hold information about you. And if we do, what the information is, why we're holding it and the ways it's being used. You're also entitled to a copy of the information.
We always want the information we hold to be up to date and accurate. If any of the information we hold is either incorrect or out of date then please tell us and we'll fix it.
You have the right to ask us to erase or delete information where you consider there is no longer any justification for us holding it, either because:
When you make a request for information to be erased we'll have up to one month to respond. If we reject your request we will tell you and set out the reasons why we'll not erase or delete the information.
You have the right to get some of your information that you provided from us in a machine readable format.
We have told you about the ways in which we use the information we hold.
Where we have told you that any use of information is based on 'legitimate interest', you can raise an objection to that use. When you make an objection we'll have up to one month to respond to you. We will stop using the information in this way unless we disagree that we should because of a compelling legal justification for continuing to use it. We'll always tell you what the justification is.
Remember, you can always simply opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time. You can do this by contacting us in the usual way.
In certain circumstances you have a right to block or limit the use of information by us. This may arise where:
You can contact us at any time and in the normal way to discuss how Coomputer holds and uses your information and your rights.
You can also contact our Data Protection Officer for further information and to request to use these rights. A Data Protection Officer is a person who is formally appointed to ensure that an organisation is aware of and complies with its responsibilities for data protection.
You can write to our Data Protection Officer at Coomputer plc, Jubilee House, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE3 4PL.
If for whatever reason you are unhappy with any way we are using your personal information you should contact us in the first instance so that we can understand your issue and try and resolve it. We may ask our Data Protection Officer to look at your situation. If we can't resolve the issue you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioners Office (ICO). The ICO is the UK's independent body set up to uphold information rights. >

Schumann: Piano Sonata Op.14 Romanzen Op.28 Humoreske Op.20
Piano Sonata Op. 14 Romanzen Op. 28 Humoreske Op. 20
Vincenzo Maltempo
This new recording features two lesser known pianistic masterworks by the young Schumann: the F minor Piano Sonata, also know as "Concerto without orchestra" in which the classical sonata form is infused with Schumann's unique romantic outpourings, and the Humoreske, the last of his piano cycles in which Schumann's alter egos Florestan and Eusebius (the fiery/passionate and the dreamy/intimate) make their presence.
Young Italian pianist Vincenzo Maltempo attracted worldwide attention with his staggering recordings of piano works by Alkan, its three volumes (issued on Piano Classics) collected numerous 5 star reviews in the musical press: The Guardian ("exhilarating, a real revelation!"), Diapason, Gramophone, Piano News. This new recording shows a sensitivity and close affinity for the musical world of Schumann. In a quasi improvisatory style he captures the essence of the idiom of free association, impulsiveness, tenderness and passion.

Investigating a Student-Driven Taxonomy for Library Website Design
Hulseberg, Anna; Monson, Sarah
Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship, v23 n4 p361-378 2011
Libraries spend countless hours developing websites to connect users and resources. However, how much do we really know about what website terminology and features are meaningful to our patrons? And how can we best organize websites to facilitate access to resources? This article examines these questions by presenting a case study of a student-driven taxonomy for library website terminology, features, and organization. Findings suggest that librarians and students do not necessarily have diverging terminologies for websites. Students value simplicity, efficient searching, and research guidance, and librarians still have much to learn about students' conceptualization of the content behind web links. (Contains 8 figures and 2 footnotes.)
