The U.S. bishops have noted that insufficient attention is paid to the transition out of seminary and into ministry. They compare it to "leaving home, graduating from school, beginning a career, getting married and starting a family." To counter the unfortunate statistic of 10-15% of U.S. priests leaving ministry within their first five years this book offers suggestions to help them manage a successful transition, a theme centered in the process of departing, entering, settling and departing again. These offerings can benefit a priest throughout his entire life.

Buriram United appoints Ranko Popovic as new head coach
Buriram United made the official appointment of the club new head coach Ranko Popovic.
After parting way with Iranian coach, Afshin Ghotbi last Saturday, Buriram United made the high-profile appointment with the 49-year-old Serbian, Ranko Popovic. The former Real Zaragoza head coach is ready to lead the northeast club in the last 6 games of 2016 Thai League and the second leg of 2016 League Cup semi-finals.
Ranko Popovic had coached Real Zaragoza in Spanish Segunda in the last season. He also has the experience in Asia with Oita Trinita, Michida Zelvia, FC Tokyo and Cerezo Osaka between 2009-2014. Popovic's Cerezo Osaka faced Buriram two times in 2014 AFC Champions League Group Stage and managed to collect 4 points from Thai champions.
Alongside with Popovic, the Serbian coach Vladica Grujic is also appointed as the assistant coach. The 53-year-old Grujic is the assistant of Popovic since the time at FC Tokyo in 2013.
Beside Popovic and Grujic, another surprise is Bozidar Bandovic who returns to Buriram United as the technical director. Bandovic was the head coach of Buriram for the short stint in 2014. After leaving Sisaket FC weeks ago, the Serbian is returning to Buriram again for the new challenge.

Welcome to Baylor College of Medicine's Synesthesia Study
Do your letters or numbers seem to have individual colors? How about weekdays like Tuesday, or months like November?
You may have synesthesia, a phenomenon in which concepts can trigger color experiences.
A new project at Baylor College of Medicine under the direction of Dr. David Eagleman is looking for people in the Houston area with synesthesia to be part of a brain imaging research study. Eligible participants will be compensated for their time and will get to take home a copy of brain images produced from the study.
Please contact Steffie Tomson from the Eagleman Lab at Baylor College of Medicine at email@example.com.

Okay, silly I know but apparently we do, because Super Hero movies are kicking major booty lately.
And well ... Batman...
Description from IMDb:
Eight years on, a new terrorist leader, Bane, overwhelms Gotham's finest, and the Dark Knight resurfaces to protect a city that has branded him an enemy.
Director:Christopher Nolan
Writers:Jonathan Nolan (screenplay), Christopher Nolan (screenplay), and 3 more credits »
Stars:Christian Bale, Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway
Did I say it before? WOW! I need a hero and The Dark Knight Rises gave me a dark, tortured, beaten down, revived, and stronger batman. But lets just say haven't been disappointed with any of the Batman characters as he is one I respect most since he has no super powers, just quick thinking and great toys. Now I will admit, it got off to a bit of a slow start but it was worth it. There was lots of story building and a great twist at the end. Both me and my husband agreed, 4 out of 5 bats for this baby!

"In Search of the Miraculous"
Notes by Bonnie Lee Hill
Chapters 13-18
Chapter 13
- Page 266
It is a complete absurdity to think that it is possible to study phenomena of a higher order like "telepathy", forseeing the future, and so on, in the same way as electrical, chemical, or meteorological phenomena are studied. Phenomena of a higher order require a particular emotional state for their observation and study. This excludes any possibility of "properly conducted" laboratory experiments and observations. The impossibility of violence to produce anything positive is an esoteric principle.
- Page 272
People fear silence more than any other thing.
- Page 274
In order to do the work, people must sacrifice only what they imagine they have and which in reality they do not have. They must sacrifice their fantasies. People must also sacrifice their suffering. A man will renounce any pleasures you like but he will not give up his suffering.
- Page 277
You must learn to get information from jokes, from stories. You must know how to take when knowledge is not given, to steal if necessary, but not to wait for somebody to come and give it to you.
Chapter 14
- Page 278
All our ordinary knowledge which is based on ordinary observation he called subjective. Knowledge based upon ancient methods -- knowledge of the All, he called objective knowledge. One of the most central ideas of objective knowledge is the idea of the unity of everything, of unity in diversity. With objective consciousness it is possible to see and feel the unity of everything.
- Page 279
"Myths" were designed to transmit ideas to the higher emotional center; "symbols" were designed for the higher thinking center.
- Page 280
Symbols were divided into the fundamental and the subordinate; the first included the principles of separate domains of knowledge; the second expressed the essential nature of phenomena in their relation to unity. One formula which had particular significance, "As above, so below", can from the "Emerald Tabels of Hermes Trismegistus". This formula stated that all the laws of the cosmos could be found in the atom or in any other phenomenon which exists as something completed according to certain laws.
- Page 281
Man must first see the manifestation of two principles, one opposed to the other, which, in conjuction or in opposition, give one result or another. He will intrduce the "line of will" into the circle of time and afterwards into the cycle of eternity. When this is accomplished, it will create in him the great symbol known as the "Seal of Solomon". A symbol becomes a synthesis of a man's knowledge.
- Page 281
The more simple symbols are as follows:
- Number 2 -- two parallel lines
- Number 3 -- equilateral triangle
- Number 4 -- square
- Number 5 -- 5-pointed star which points upward, the pentagram
- Number 6 -- 6-pointed star, the Star of David, Seal of Solomon
- Page 281
Man, in the normal state natural to him, is taken as a duality. He consists entirely of "pairs of opposites" -- positive and negative, useful and harmful, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant. Thoughts oppose feelings. Moving impulses oppose instinctive craving for quiet.
- Page 282
The creation of a permanent third principle is for man the transformation of the duality into the trinity.
- Page 282
A man has five centers: (1) thinking, (2) emotional, (3) moving, (4) instinctive, and (5) sex. If a man brings the work of these five centers into harmonious accord, he "locks the pentagram within him" and becomes a finished type of the physically perfect man. When man becomes directly and permanently connected with objective consciousness and objective knowledge, the man becomes the six-point star -- the Seal of Solomon. A symbol can never be fully interpreted, it can only be experienced.
- Page 283
The law of octaves gives another system of symbols. Every completed process is a transition of the note "do" through a series of successive tones to the "do" of the next octave. The seven fundamental tones of the octave express the law of seven. The seven fundamental tones, the two "intervals" or "shocks", and the "do" of the next octave, generate ten steps -- the decimal system of numbers.
- Page 283
The symbology of number is based on this idea. In "theosophical addition", the definition of a number consisting of more than one digit is the sum of those digits -- "casting out nines". Numbers are connected with definite geometrical figures. In the Cabala, a symbology of letters and a symbology of words are used. There also exists a symbology of magic, a symbology of alchemy, and a symbology of astrology. A symbol can never be taken in a final and definite meaning.
- Page 284
Exact knowledge concerning details, communicated to a man before he has acquired an understanding of the essential nature of a thing, makes it difficult for him to understand this essential nature. A man will attain knowledge only by his own efforts. No one can ever give him what he did not possess before; no one can do for him the work he should do for himself.
- Page 285
The law of octaves connects all processes of the universe, and it presents the possiblity of an exact cognition of every phenomenon in its essential nature. The symbol which unites the idea of the octave is a circle divided into nine equal parts with lines connecting the nine points on the circumference in a certain order. The symbol takes the following form:
- Page
This symbol expresses the law of seven in its union with the law of three. The octave possesses seven tones, and the eighth is a repetition of the first. Two additional "shocks" fill the "intervals" mi-fa and si-do so that there are nine elements.
- Page 288
The circle symbolizes a uninterruptedly flowing process. The separate points in the division of the circumference symbolize the steps of the process. The symbol as a whole is "do". It is a circle -- a completed cycle, the zero of our decimal system. The stages in the process are connected with the remaining numbers 1 through 9. Every beginning and ending of the cycle is situated in the apex of the triangle. Since it is the ninth step which closes and begins a cycle, the upper point of the triangle corresponds to the number 9.
- Page 289
We must take a unit and divide it into seven equal parts. These decimal divisions generate a series of fractions which consist of exactly the same six digits in a definite sequence. If you know the first digit of the period, it is possible to reconstruct the whole period in full. The fractions are as follows:
- 1/7 = 0.142857 . . .
- 2/7 = 0.285714 . . .
- 3/7 = 0.428571 . . .
- 4/7 = 0.571428 . . .
- 5/7 = 0.714285 . . .
- 6/7 = 0.857142 . . .
- 7/7 = 0.999999 . . .
- Page 289
If we start with the first number in a fraction and connect in sequence to the remaining numbers in the fraction, we shall obtain the figure found inside the circle. For example, we will follow the digits in "1/7th". We start at "1" on the circle, and connect it to "4", then to "2", then to "8", then to "5", and finally to "7". The final step would be to connect the "7" back to the "1". The numbers "3", "6", and "9" are not included in the period. They form a separate triangle -- the free trinity of the symbol.
- Page 289
The divisions of the circle are also related to the notes and "intervals" in an octave.
- Page
Each completed whole, each cosmos, each organism, each plant, is an enneagram. The inner triangle stands for the presence of higher elements. The enneagram is a universal symbol. All knowledge can be included in the enneagram. The enneagram is perpetual motion, and it is also the philosopher's stone of the alchemists.
- Page 296
There are two kinds of art -- objective art and subjective art. In subjective art everything is accidental. I measure the merit of art by its consciousness.
- Page 297
Objective music is all based on "inner octaves". It can obtain definite psychological and physical results. Such music can freeze water and can kill a man. The music used to destroy the walls of Jericho was objective music.
Chapter 15
- Page 299
Religion is a relative concept; it corresponds to the level of a man's being. Religion is "doing"; a man should "live" his religion. Man should think about what God is and what he is. These thoughts do for him what he asks God to do. The Christian church is a school. Prehistoric Egypt was Christian many thousands of years before the birth of Christ. Schools of repetition were taken as a model for Christian churches.
- Page 304
Every real religion consists of two parts. One part teaches what is to be done. The other part teaches how to do what the first part teaches. This part is preserved in secret in special schools. This secret part exists in Christianity.
- Page 305
Organic life transmits planetary influences of various kinds to the earth, and it serves to feed the Moon and to enable it to grow and strengthen. But the Earth is also growing in the sense of greater consciousness, greater receptivity.
- Page 306
The cessation of evolution may mean the destruction of humanity. Humanity is moving in a circle. In one century it destroys everything it created in another. The growth of knowledge in one domain evokes the growth of ignorance in another.
- Page 307
A balanced process cannot be changed at any moment it is desired. It can be changed and set on a new path only at certain "crossroads". In the law of octaves, these "crossroads" are called the "intervals" mi-fa and si-do.
- Page 309
Life is governed by those who are the least conscious, by those who are most asleep. In life we see a preponderance of vulgarity and stupidity of all kinds. Contemporary culture requires automatons. Man is becoming a willing slave.
- Page 310
The whole of humanity is composed of several concentric circles. The inner circle, the "esoteric", consists of people who have attained the highest development possible for man. The next outer circle, the "mesoteric", is the middle circle. The third circle is called the "exoteric". There also exists an outermost circle.
- Page 312
There are four ways to enter the innermost circle:
- Way of the fakir -- the physical body
- Way of the monk -- the religious way
- Way of the yogi -- the way of the mind
- Fourth way -- the way of the work
- Page 314
Transitions from one level of being to another were marked by ceremonies of presentation of a special kind, that is, initiation. But a change of being cannot be brought about by any rites.
- Page 315
Systems and schools can indicate methods and ways, but no system or school whatever can do for a man the work that he must do himself. Inner growth, a change of being, depends entirely upon the work which a man must do on himself.
Chapter 16
- Page 316
Everything happens; no one does anything. The human mind is incapable of even realizing its own helplessness.
- Page 317
The density of vibrations and the density of matter express many other properties of matter. The speed of vibrations shows the intelligence or the consciousness of matter. There is nothing dead or inanimate in nature.
- Page 320
In ordinary science, classification is made according to external traits -- bones, teeth, and so on. In exact knowledge, classification is made according to cosmic traits. The cosmic level of being is determined by (1) what the creature eats, (2) what he breathes, and (3) the medium in which he lives. A man can not improve on his food or air, but he can improve on his impressions.
- Page 329
A breath is 3 seconds. In a normal state, a man takes about twenty full breaths in a minute. The "breath of organic life" is twenty-four hours.
Breath Day and Night Life Small Cells - - 3 seconds Large Cells - 3 seconds 24 hours Man 3 seconds 24 hours 79 years Organic Life 24 hours 79 years 2,500,000 years Earth 79 years 2,500,000 years 75,000,000,000 years
- Page
Time goes beyond four dimensions. The Minkovski formula, [sqrt(-1) * ct], denotes time as the fourth "world" coordinate.
- Page 343
Why didn't these ideas come earlier when Russia was at peace? Probably precisely because these ideas could come only in such a time when the attention of the majority is distracted in some other direction and when these ideas can reach only those who look for them.
Chapter 17
- Page 347
Schools are imperative because of the complexity of man's organization. A man is unable to keep watch on the whole of himself. A man is much too lazy. He will never attain the necessary intensity by himself. In work, only super-efforts are counted. A super-effort is an effort beyond the effort that is necessary to achieve a given purpose. Another form of super-effort is carrying out any kind of work at a faster rate than is called for by the nature of the work.
- Page 348
The three principal centers -- the thinking, the emotional, and the moving -- are connected together, and in a normal man, they are always working in unison. This unison is what present the chief difficulty in work on oneself. Everything is connected, and one thing cannot exist without another thing. In life everything is always arranged far too comfortably for man to work.
- Page 350
Man must learn to relax the unnecessary tension of his muscles. He gave us many exercises for gradually relaxing the muscles always beginning with the muscles of the face.
- Page 352
A man is unable to change the form of his thinking or his feeling until he has changed his repertory of postures and movements. All our movements are automatic. Our thoughts and feelings are just as automatic. The "stop" exercise was used to "freeze" the student in whatever position he was caught. He had to hold that position exactly until "enough" was called.
- Page 356
The chief difficulty for most people was the habit of talking. Voluntary silence can be the most severe discipline to which a man can subject himself. With everything there is a limit to what is necessary. After this, "sin" begins. "Sin" is something which is not necessary. People are afraid of suffering. They want pleasure not, at once and forever. They do not want to understand that pleasure is an attribute of paradise and that it must be earned.
- Page 358
When one fasts, he must expend as much energy as possible so that the strong solutions normally used to digest food will not poison his system. A man begins any exercise with his mind; only when the last stage of fatigue is reached can the control pass to the moving center.
- Page 362
People of the objective way simply life in life. They are those whom we call good people. They do not of necessity do much good, but they do no evil.
- Page 364
There is only one thing which should be serious to a man -- escaping from the general law, to be free. People who are not serious live by fantasies, chiefly by the fantasy that they are able to do something.
- Page 366
A man always wishes to begin with something big. We must begin with the things of today.
- Page 366
Astrology deals with only one part of man, with his type, his essence -- it does not deal with personality, with acquired qualities. In the same situation, one man sees and does one thing, another -- another thing, a third -- a third thing, and so on. Each one acted according to his type.
Chapter 18
- Page 372
We began rhythmic exercises to music, mental exercises, the study of different ways of breathing, and so on. We also studied psychic phenomena.
- Page 376
He began to separate G. and his ideas. Ouspensky had to go. It was very
difficult for him to reject the idea of working with G.
- Page 377
Ouspensky began studying the enneagram. He inserted the "do" of the three octaves at the location of the "shocks". He found that there was no wrong place for a "shock" at all.
- Page
He also found that the seven points could represent the seven planets of the ancient world. The enneagram could be an astrological symbol. He took the order of the planets in the order of the days of the week.
- Page 379
Osupensky published his ideas in a book called "A New Model of the Universe".
- Page 380
Osupensky had acquired a strange confidence in the unimportance and the insignificance of self, that self which we usually know.
- Page 387
Without masterig breathing nothing can be mastered. There are three kinds of breathing: (1) normal breathing, (2) inflation, and (3) breathing assisted by movements.

Production of concrete aggregate is generally inseparable from the medium sand, gravel, cement, admixtures, etc. With the further understanding of fly ash and slag powders, people find that mixing a proportion of slag powder and fly ash with concrete aggregate can properly enhance the performance of concrete aggregate. Carefully analyse sources of new type concrete aggregate, we find the production of gravel, cement admixtures, slag powder and fly ash is inseparable from mining machinery, such as quarry crusher and compound cone crusher. In this paper, we will talk about the application of compound cone crusher in production of slag powder concrete aggregate.
Along with the rapid development of modern concrete industry in our country, people put forward higher standards for upstream mining machinery industry which not only should be able to produce large equipment, but also design more accurate technical parameters, so that escort the development of concrete industry.
Our company always walk in the forefront of mining machinery market in domestic; according to market needs, it forms a cpmplete product chain which gives priority to compound cone crusher, sand making machine, mobile crushing station and construction waste treatment equipment and makes vibrating screen , feeder and complete product line as complementary products. Now, our company has been main production and export base of domestic stone crushing machinery, not only injecting fresh blood to mining machinery industry, and also promoting the further development of crusher industry.

Ninety Mile Beach
loading map...
- Summary
Located on the Aupouri Peninsula at far northern tip of New Zealand is the famed Ninety Mile Beach. This myth needs to be cleared up immediately; guys, it's only 88 km, which amounts to a mere 55 miles. The Praia do Cassino in Brazil is a 150 mile stretch of beach; if length makes it or breaks it for you, then head there. For the rest of you, prepare yourself for some excellent left-hand surf breaks and a chance to drag your board to the top of a series of sand dunes that mirror the coast along its northern end.
Considered a state highway (although only 4-wheel drive vehicles should even attempt it), different parts of its length are valuable for different reasons. The southern end of the beach (Ahipara Bay, near the town of Kaitaia) is great for swimming, surfing, and digging for the edible tuatua clams. At the northern end, near Cape Reinga, massive sand dunes spread their bulk and beg you to sandboard their peaks and valleys. There is a day long bus trip that follows the beach from south to north with some excellent tour-guided insights into the area's history, but we suggest renting a 4X4 or other off-road vehicle and a board so that you can do this incredible area justice at your own pace.

Today and yesterday were rough ones. I'm not going to pretend that things are always sunshine and roses in our household. The minis were up before 6am for no logical reason. All 3 minis just up and moving around in the dark talking and asking if they can play toys. There is nothing about them that says "I'll just lay here until I hear someone moving around." If Mini-Sir wakes up and nobody else is up, he is waking ALL of us up. That is horrible because I'm a sleeper. But parenting has changed all that. Anyway, we digress. They all had random attitudes—crying about foolishness, picking at each other and just being overly sensitive. Then we ate breakfast. Someone cried because they had too much waffle, Mister-mini cried because he ate his waffle and wanted mine. I shared, and he pushed it away and it landed on
the floor. Mini-Sir cried because he wanted orange juice not grape. Me-mini ate so slowly she couldn't finish and whined because she didn't have time to finish. The timer on the house alarm went off, because she had molasses in her feet, she wouldn't leave the house. Mini-Sir wouldn't put on his seat belt and didn't want anyone to help. He cried because he was helped anyway. Mister-mini was fussy because he couldn't have his sit and scoot train in the car with him. It wasn't even 8am yet. I needed coffee and prayer. I was kicking myself for asking God to help me with patience because he whammied me this morning and I'm going to need days to recover.
Fast forward to the end of the day when the minis were supposed to be getting ready for bed… Me-mini was refusing to sit in the bathtub. How you'll take a bath without submerging is a mystery to me. And let's just say by the end of the night I had to Clorox the bathroom and wash all the rugs…… They all get in bed but no one stays. Mister-mini ended up stark naked and had to be re-dressed several times before the night was done. Bedtime started at 6:15pm. All minis were not asleep until after 10pm. Same game today except we had more stuff on the agenda. Today the mommy-lady was done at about 5pm. After dinner at our favorite BBQ restaurant, I stayed in the car and let the family come in the house without me. Mini-Sir thought it was curious that I didn't come in. They'll be asking what happened to me when they wake me up before daybreak tomorrow. They won't wait for an answer before telling me that they are ready for toys and breakfast. Some days I go eat lunch or dinner by myself. Other days, I window shop at Target. Most days I just go do the regular things I need to do but without kids. I went to Old Navy and Walmart. Then I came home. They were still awake so I went back to the car and listened to a podcast. I came back in the house, wrapped Mini-Sir's birthday presents, put on pajamas and got in bed.
The End.

Express your inner flower child with Nesting Flowers Decorative Die Set by Scrapbook.com. Depending on material and styling, these floral shapes can complement a variety of crafting themes from groovy to whimsical or trendy to bohemian or classic to cute! Quickly and easily cut paper, cardstock, vellum, or foil (or use as stencils!) All Exclusive Crafts Dies are compatible with most manual die cutting machines (sold separately). Whether you need a small 2" floral shape for a wedding card or 4.25" floral spring bulletin board, this kit has just what you need. Each package includes six nesting dies that measure approximately .75" x .75", 1.25" x 1.25", 2" x 2", 2.75" x 2.75", 3.5" x 3.5" and 4.25" x 4.25".
Scrapbook.com sent me the entire complete nested die kit that this lovely set is in and requested that in exchange, I offer a blog review/tutorial with entirely unbiased opinion on them. I was happy to do so. I have only ever known Umbrella Crafts to create outstanding quality products and these were no exception. I was grateful for the opportunity to get my hands on them and I find the size range in each nested set in the variety kit, to be really well thought through. Lots of care obviously went in to creating them and I'm sure I'll have these for years to come. I am happy to highly recommend this and each of the sets in the complete nested variety kit.
Used in this image: Create A Custom Bible Bookmark With Umbrella Crafts Dies
I bought these nested dies to try them out. Wasn't sure I'd like a brand other than what I've bought in the past. So glad I did! They're wonderful! They cut cleanly, and look great. The card they came on is reusable for storage, and the dies stick securely to it. I really like this set, and I highly recommend it.
the set together is awesome. You can also use them individually. Its a great set of dies. cuts very well
Cuts 110 lb nicely, I haven't tried anything thicker...great set.
I am new at using die sets. I recently bought Cricut Cuttlebug. This set is one of the first I have purchased. I was able to create a very cute birthday card with three of the nested sizes. They were easy to use with the Cuttlebug. I also purchased the nested circles, but have not had the opportunity to use them, but I am quite sure they also will be easy to use.
Cuts like a dream and very crisp! This set of dies seems much sturdier than another design I recently purchased. Have already used on several projects. A definite winner and the price can't be beat!
Used in this card: Fiesta Time
The stacked flower die works really well. When cut, the rings are very crisp, with clean edges. The die itself is kind of flimsy and I think could have been made of a little heavier metal, but it does cut as expected.
These are the best dies I have ever purchased. Super generous size so perfect for felt embroidery!!! I commend you for the photos ... they sold me ... great job!!!
Very nice and useful quality dies. They cut great, very happy with them.
Love this simple flower die to add to my projects.

The Sting of the Bee
Monday, May 14, 2007
Spelling bees are hot.
Broadway plays host to one nearly every night with an award-winning musical about six overachieving spellers in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee." Hollywood has embraced them too: "Akeelah" would be nothing without her "Bee," not to mention "Bee Season." And the Scripps National Spelling Bee, set for May 30 and 31, is popular enough for the finals to be televised in prime time for a second year.
Still, don't expect to find a spelling bee in Sue Ann Gleason's first-grade classroom at Cedar Grove Elementary School in Loudoun County. She doesn't think much of them.
"They honor the children who already know how to spell, but they do little to support those who need explicit instruction," she said.
As popular as spelling bees have become, academic researchers say many schools are giving spelling short shrift. That, they say, is because some teachers don't believe great spelling is necessary to pass the high-stakes standardized tests that drive public education. And because many don't know how to teach it.
Some wind up substituting spelling competitions for real instruction and insist that students memorize lists of words for a weekly test. That is no way to help students understand what words mean, experts say.
"Most teachers -- unfortunately -- think of spelling as a rote visual memory skill, and it's much richer than that," said Marcia Invernizzi, an education professor at the University of Virginia and a spelling researcher who has written textbooks on the topic.
"They think that somehow it is less important than other educational subjects, and that technology, such as spell checkers, has further diminished the importance of spelling," she said. "So they say, 'Let's not pay any attention to it at all.' But spelling is critical to reading and writing."
The advent of computerized spell check has taken a toll on the use of physical dictionaries, which include many more words and more information about each word, including origin and added definitions. Some students say they have come to rely on spell check.
Melissa Cohen, a 17-year-old senior at Rockville High School, said she took an Advanced Placement test in literature last Wednesday and thought about using some words that might make her essay sound, well, smarter. But she didn't. She wasn't sure how to spell them.
"I didn't have a computer, and I didn't want to spell it wrong," said Cohen, who is headed to New York University next year.
"It's kind of crazy to say spelling doesn't count," Invernizzi said. "In applications here at U-Va., if you have a misspelling in your essay, that is going to reduce your odds greatly. It's the kiss of death."

Why Sports Bottles Trump Plastic Water BottlesBuying a case of bottled water is convenient. It cuts down on time for busy individuals especially athletes. They can just grab one and go. But did you know that one fourths of bottled water is tap water? Or that the bottled water industry made upwards of 4 million dollars last year? That's a humongous amount of money for something consumers can get practically for free by the turn of a knob in their own home. Cutting down on buying bottled water is not only great on our eco-system but it also saves money. The best solution for this is to get a sports bottle or a permanent water bottle of sorts which can be customized to fit any design. The most obvious and best reason to own a personalized sports bottle is that it's earth-friendly. Bottled water is typically made out of plastic. Plastic is a big detriment to the planet because for one plastic is made from petroleum which is a limited resource. Two, plastic is mostly non bio-degradable. It stay

How to Buy Goods From ChinaChina is well on its way toward becoming the second-largest economy in the world after the United States. It is this remarkable economic growth that has been as a result of a robust manufacturing industry that has propelled this country to these heights. Goods from the Peoples Republic of China are very cheap and are in high demand. Any business person looking to make some tidy profits should be looking at the Far East as a source of goods like clothing, jewelry and household appliances. Instructions 1 Make a decision on the kind of goods you want to import from China. You can base this decision on anything that you enjoy dealing with and would give you some good returns if you are buying goods to resell. It is also good to factor in other people's preferences. Trendy items will do extremely well for you if you are into frequent order changes. Items that tend to address a need as opposed to those that address a want a
Promotional Water Bottles: How Do They Work As Promotional Items?It's hard to remember when plastic water bottles weren't around, whether in the gym, on the hiking trail, at sporting events, or in the park. Look in your kitchen cabinets and you probably have one, its body printed with a company's logo and contact information. That's because companies have long regarded reusable water bottles as great promotional items. But do they really work? At first glace, the idea that a drink container could increase a company's sales sounds zany. But small promo items do just that: present a company's information to as many people as possible, particularly customers and decision makers at potential client companies, in the name of drumming up more business. To determine whether an item will have its intended effect, it's best to examine it using the four criteria that predict most items' success or lack thereof: advertising space in terms of product scale, usability, appeal and longevity. Advertising Space
Resell Promotional Merchandise For ProfitsThe big question in corporate promoting is how to successfully advertise a business without having to rob corporate coffers of all its money in order to do so. Corporate promoting can add up to quite a sum and reduce profits for a business if care is not taken to protect against this. The answer to how to successfully promote business without losing your shirt is to engage in intelligent corporate promoting. Make intelligent corporate promotional moves such as opting to resell promotional merchandise for profits. The first key to making this work is to select promotional merchandise with the highest resale probability. Promotional merchandise such as travel accessories, coffee mugs, key rings, magnets, calculators, clocks, pens, conference bags and folders, umbrellas, golf gifts, watches, wallets, shirts, and mouse pads. These are all very good choices in promotional merchandise that you can resell for profits because these are things people use often and are most apt to purch

Karnataka: The move of the Karnataka State government to take action against medical practitioners who did not do compulsory rural services as part of their bond with the government , seems to have fallen flat, after the state high court granted stay on the notice issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department.
It is reported that the department had sent notices to such doctors asking them to pay a penalty for not adhering to the undertaking they had given during admission to the course. Simultaneously, a notice had been issued by the Karnataka Medical Council, which has asked them why their registration should not be suspended in terms of communication issued by the State government for the alleged "misconduct" of violating the bond.

In response to the notice, 200 doctors knocked the doors of the high court, challenging both the orders of the state government as well as the state medical council. The petitions filed by one Dr Divya and 199 other doctors, stated the government had not offered or intimated them about any suitable jobs in the government hospitals soon after they completed their courses, is now alleging that the petitioners have violated the assurances given through the bond.
They contended that the petitioners were under the impression that the government does not require their services or that there are not sufficient posts to accommodate all of them in hospital. It also alluded to the fact, that after lapse of so many years, suddenly the department rose to take action/ claim penalty from the doctors.
In response to the submissions, the bench of Justice G Narendar, granted a stay on the notices issued to the petitioners. The court has also issued notice to the state government and to the Karnataka Medical Council. Next hearing is on June 19.

In this vein, it is wise to recognize the signs that indicate your roof's problems demand a new roofing system. The earlier you detect a problem, the less costly it will be. Following are some the heavy hints that your roof needs addressing.

Praise for The Eternal Nazi "Brilliantly narrated...uses the countless jigsaw-puzzle pieces produced by a manhunt that lasted decades-including the many false leads that took Nazi-hunters to far-flung reaches of the globe-to explicate, with sharp originality, distinctive facets of the psychological and political landscape of the Third Reich and its long and complicated afterlife." - The New York Times Book Review "A fascinating read. This is a tale of police procedural, in an era before computers and databases, of those hunting the worst humans this world had to offer." - Seattle Post-Intelligencer "Gripping... The Eternal Nazi shows how long it took for Germany to fully reckon with its Nazi past...Kulish and Mekhennet adeptly portray the silence and repression that surrounded Nazi crimes...Heim plays that ageless near-mythic figure, the evil man with a clear conscience, unrepentant to the end." -Tablet "A brisk, compelling read, with all the frustrating plot twists and eccentric character cameos of an espionage thriller." - The Jewish Daily Forward "An elusive Nazi doctor who escaped justice receives a thorough scouring ... Haunting, doggedly researched." - Kirkus Reviews " The Eternal Nazi manages that rare feat of being as cinematically riveting as it is morally serious." -Buzzfeed "This highly readable account unfolds more than a mystery novel than a work of non-fiction. It is crisply written, meticulously documented and highly engaging. It is superb reporting that will keep readers engaged until the very last page." - King Features "[A] dramatic story-which often makes fiction seem tame by comparison-with the flair of a riveting mystery." -Arkansas Democrat-Gazette "A brilliant feat of historical detection that illuminates a nation's dramatic reckoning with the crimes of the Holocaust." -Bookreporter.com "Part biography, part engrossing true crime story, The Eternal Nazi is a fascinating look at the hunt for Nazi war criminals after World War II." -Shelf Awareness "Reads more like a mystery novel than a work of nonfiction." - Fort Myers Florida Weekly "He was hardly as famous as Josef Mengele, but Aribert Heim was every bit as vicious. And, like Mengele, this doctor-torturer-murderer eluded his hunters until the very end. The Eternal Nazi finally reconstructs Heim's dark odyssey-from his sadistic practices in Mauthausen to his life in hiding as a convert to Islam in Cairo. Part detective story, part meditation on how family loyalties obstructed those seeking justice, this book is a remarkable achievement." -Andrew Nagorski, author of Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power "With exacting detail and a rich cast of characters, The Eternal Nazi chronicles the feverish, zigzagging hunt for the barbarous Dr. Heim. A journalistic masterpiece and a thrilling read." -Neal Bascomb, author of Hunting Eichmann "This is a deeply reported, fascinating tale of obsession and the heavy burden of family and national guilt. Nick Kulish and Souad Mekhennet take us on a gripping search for the handsome Nazi doctor who became one of the world's most elusive war criminals." -Evan Thomas, author of Ike's Bluff "Aribert Heim's chilling story as a free man in Egypt made me wonder what was more appalling: his heinous activity as an SS doctor, or the fact that like most former Nazis he was never punished for his crimes. Thoroughly investigated and written in riveting style, this is a fascinating and thought provoking book." -Tom Segev, author of Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legends

Latest Safe Screening demonstrated at HR and Recruitment software shows by CIPD
Latest Safe Screening demonstrated at HR and Recruitment software shows by CIPD
April release 2014
Leading software company Safe will be demonstrating the latest version of their Safe Screening software at CIPD's HR Software show at Olympia in London this 18 and 19 June.
The two day show allows delegates to see live demos of the latest Safe Screening pre-employment screening background checking and identity verification software solution at the event.
Robert Drake, Director of Safe Screening, commented that 'fines for bad hires from the UK boarder agency service are on the increase, whilst employers continue to fear their processes for spotting illegal workers and expired visas, aren't stringent enough. It's easy to get caught out'. With their latest software version on show, Safe Screening looks set to quell those fears. Robert told us 'with support from the right software provider, any HR or recruitment professional need not worry about being compliant, Disclosure Scotland, disclosure and baring (DBS) or a number of other checks'. 'Our software allows alerts for changes, for example as visas expire, and prompts for provision of the right information as required by law' Robert concluded.
Safe are also exhibiting Safe EMS, HR and payroll software. On a sister stand, Safe are showing Virtuoso VMS, new to market last summer and a vendor management software product to manage the labour supply chain. The Safe stand at H232 looks set to cause a stir. To register to attend the show visit http://www.cipd.co.uk/cande/HRSS or to find out more about Safe visit www.safescreening.co.uk, www.safe-ems.co.uk, or www.virtuosovms.co.uk.

Advent -- just in time!
After a long November of November-ness, I am so glad to tear off that page on my refrigerator calendar! Thank you so much to anyone who thought a kind thought about me and my family as you wandered by this dormant blog during the past couple of months. I can feel the cyber-love!
Today let's talk about books!
My Advent Calendar for Book Lovers keeps me thinking and browsing through stacks of storybooks all year long. I have an affinity for older stories, mostly because they are the books I loved as a little girl, or were the books my kids loved when they were little themselves. But the annual tradition I have created for myself here allows me to immerse myself in the children's section of Barnes & Noble, "doing research." You will just have to imagine me, sitting in a wee little wooden chair, pouring over gorgeous storybooks with my knees tucked under my chin.
Let's see what we come up with this year!
+ + + + + + +
Well, so the girl in charge has been home for Thanksgiving (she flies back to Atlanta today -- sniff!) and while she has been here, she has been tucking into her old friends, the Little House books. Since I spent my entire childhood carrying around one or another of these treasured companion books, when I see my girl doing the same thing -- well, it brings a little tear of joy to the eye.
I have said before that my favorite of the Little House Christmas stories is the tale of Mr. Edwards' encounter with Santa Claus, on a muddy street in Independence, Missouri (this story is a chapter in Little House on the Prairie). I also do love the story of Laura's beloved doll Charlotte, found in Little House in the Big Woods. But I was thinking about the fourth book in the series, On the Banks of Plum Creek, and it occurred to me that this book is just chock full of Christmas.
Wilder tells us that one early Christmas, the family exchanges no gifts, but Pa buys horses that they will need for plowing come spring. And of course the book ends with Pa's arrival at home on Christmas, after being trapped in a snow bank during a four-day blizzard -- and eating their Christmas candy so he can survive.
But for most Little House lovers, the fabulous Christmas story in this book is the chapter called "Surprise." Who can forget the church Christmas party, at which Laura sees her first actual Christmas tree?
Everyone stood up to sing and Laura stood up, but she could not sing. Not a sound would come out of her throat. In the whole world, there couldn't be a store so wonderful to look at as that tree. After the singing, Mr. Tower and Mr. Beadle began taking things off it, and reading out names. Mrs. Tower and Mrs. Beadle brought those things down past the benches, and gave them to the person whose name was on them. Everything on that tree was a Christmas present for somebody!
Mrs. Tower stood smiling, holding out the little fur cape and muff. "For me?" Laura said. "For me?" Then everything else vanished while with both arms she hugged the soft furs to her. She hugged them tighter and tighter, trying to believe they were really hers, that silky-soft little brown cape and the muff.
"What do you say, Laura?" Ma asked, but the Reverend Alden said, "There is no need. The way her eyes are shining is enough."
Gets me every time.

Now that Acer is crying in the same boat as Steve Ballmer over Windows 8. Perhaps they will move into a territory of convergence :). Hey why not? The Ubuntu Edge campaign will fail (if not already failed by the time you read this) and Canonical gave mobile device manufacturers a great idea...
Let's take two products that have shown to work in the consumer space: Android and ChromeOS (Chromebooks). Acer, why not make a phone with say 64GB-128GB of storage space, 4GB of ram and a Samsung Exynos Quad core SoC (system on chip). Put that all behind a nice 4.7inch Gorilla Glass 3 screen, load it up with Android 4.3 and the latest version of Chrome OS (you will need to work closely with Google on this one).
Allow the device to dual "switch" Chrome OS and Android 4.3 seamlessly. When the device is docked... magic, it switches into Chrome OS and supports an external monitor/keyboard/mouse connection. When away from the dock... it is Android 4.3. Perhaps offer a more robust office suite solution and rock-solid Citrix/RDP clients bundled with the phone. Of course all of your data would be backed up to Google Drive, heck Google, go ahead and throw in 2 years of free 100GB of storage on Drive. As another bonus feature, when the device is docked it enables Chromecast functionality (for those group movie and music nights).
Call this device the Acer Switch! Just imagine the possibilities... create a laptop style dock with 24 hour battery, 11.6inch display and full keyboard with webcam/microphone. Slide the Acer Switch into the laptop dock via a side slide out tray... Voila, you have a Chromebook! Create a desktop dock that suffices additional multimedia connections.
The Acer Switch, innovation is always on!
Price points:
- 64GB Acer Switch: 399USD
- 128GB Acer Switch: 499USD
- Standard desktop dock: 49.99USD
- Laptop Style dock: 129.99USD
Mr. Jim Wong you know where to reach me...

SuperiorPapers.com is one of the most established custom-writing companies on the market. Students have been entrusting their academic assignments to this service since 1997. The company makes a real difference in this industry by offering high-quality papers completed by an experienced team of professional writers, researchers, and editors.
List of Services
Students can order all types of papers and assignments at this website, regardless of the short deadlines or complexity of their orders. The list of services is separated into four categories:
- Academic writing services (which include all types of essays, book reports, term papers, research papers, articles, coursework, reaction papers, annotated bibliographies, presentations, and more);
- Assignments (lab reports, programming assignments, case studies, statistics projects, multiple choice questions, presentations in PowerPoint, and math/statistics/economics/physics problems);
- Dissertation and thesis writing services;
- Resume services (resumes, CVs, and cover letters);
- Editing services.
The prices at SuperiorPapers.com range from $19.99 to $61.99. The company has separated the quotes into three levels of quality (Standard, Premium, and Platinum), and 10 urgency options (from 10 days to 3 hours).
For example, if the customer wants to order a 3-page essay of Standard quality with a deadline of 5 days, the price per page will be $21.99 and the initial estimation of the final cost (without applied discounts) will be $65.97. If the user chooses Premium quality for the same order, the quote per page will be $23.99, and the final price will be $71.97. Platinum quality costs $26.99 for a deadline of 5 days, which will bring the price estimation to $80.97.

Can We Get 45 Minutes of Fame?
Last week, I wrote about AAM's work in crowd-sourcing sessions for the 2013 conference. This week, Rainey Tisdale and I, who are are working on a book about museums and creative practice (more news on that very soon) jumped into another association's crowd-sourcing idea. The New England Museum Association is running a 45 Minutes of Fame Contest for a speaking slot at their annual conference coming up this fall in Burlington,Vermont. Our entry is above, sharing some of the places and things that inspire us to think about museums in different ways. So please, watch the video, feel inspired, and like us on YouTube. If you've got a great creative inspiration to share--please comment away!

Young children LOVE playing rhythm instruments! It's a uniquely age-appropriate way for them to experience the joy of music. As they tap, shake, rattle, and roll, they're developing listening skills, eye-hand coordination, and awareness of cognitive concepts. This comprehensive kit has everything the classroom teacher needs to get started. Children will explore a variety of sounds with the wonderful assortment of instruments. My book provides fun rhythm instrument activities for toddlers through kindergartners. And delightful stories included in the set contain catchy rhythms to inspire even more musical creativity! (Kit developed by Kaplan Early Learning Company in conjunction with Gryphon House.)

Ford Fusion to Show Fuel Efficiency "Score" On Dashboard
Ford Fusion to Show Fuel Efficiency "Score" On Dashboard
There's nothing that can get consumers motivated to go green like a competition, and Ford knows it. That's why the ailing car company has installed a fuel efficiency "score" on the 2010 Ford Fusion's dashboard.
Fuel efficiency is represented on the dashboard by a vine. Increasing efficiency causes buds and leaves to grow on the vine, while decreasing efficiency makes the vine wither.
The dashboard also features a display that records mileage and fuel used. The display can be set to record personal bests and compete with a second driver.
The drawback to these gimmicks, of course, is that they are a distraction. With drivers already consumed by PDAs and cell phones, is it really necessary to add even more electronic gizmos to the list of road hazards?digg_url = 'http://www.greenbiz.com/blog/2009/01/01/ford-fusion-shows-efficiency-score';

Hi, I'm trying to send out this info to all our active club members and supporters but in my rush, I'm sure I'm overlooking many - please spread the word and for anyone who hears about this only secondhand, I sincerely apologize.
We have just gotten word that shortly, perhaps a few weeks, a professional mover is going to come in and crate up sections of the layout, along with everything else, and move them out of Davison. These will either be stored in a warehouse or if we are lucky, moved to a new permanent home. The school wants to rehab Davison over the summer with all new plumbing, etc., but wants the layout now. At first when they were talking about this, they were figuring they would totally box in the layout to protect it from swinging pipes around, but they would have to remove the backdrop and build us a whole new one. On reconsideration, they figured it would be better to move us instead.
So where? Barb Nelson, who used to work at RPI in space allocation, is now the Executive Director of TAP Inc. (Troy Architectural Program) and wants very much for us to move to some place where the layout can readily be seen by the public. She is very sympathetic to our needs and attuned to the entire downtown building boom. She thinks there may be some appropriate space downtown opening up. Many developers are having a hard time filling their first floor with retailers, and she sees the layout as generating a lot of foot traffic. We don't have anything definite yet. If it does, our role might change, whether we stay a part of RPI, be a collaboration with say the county historical society, become totally independent, or who knows what. We know one important consideration no matter what would be to ensure this is a permanent home.
Or we have been talking about a new building, a simple (and thus cheap) steel shell building on a concrete pad floor somewhere on RPI property.
For years and years, we have looked at moving to an existing location in an unused space, but we take up far more room than people think. And if we were to move into J Building or Winslow, even if we fit – we don't – it would cost so much to remove walls, etc. But now we are talking about a prime location, not a spare attic or unused basement.
Please spread the word to EVERYONE you can think of. Massive amounts of publicity are needed, and soon, both word-of-mouth and professional media. In this way, we may reach some wealthy benefactor, or even just convince the school the importance of not letting us wither away in storage. We will be looking into some type of go-fund-me campaign, hopefully in conjunction say with a local historical group. (We probably can't do it under RPI without stepping on some toes).
The contract to move us has yet to be signed, but they are aiming for a few weeks. Then we will know the timetable but it likely to be soon after. Once we have a definite date, we are hopeful of holding one last operating session. If you know of individuals who need to see the layout, I can set up an individual tour - it may be now or never.

I'm sorry to single this out, and my apologies for straying slightly off topic, but the hobby is not dying by any means. I am eighteen years of age and have joined a club layout nearby that has plenty of other young people. If anything, this is a result of unfortunate circumstances surrounding the redevelopment of a building.

St. Patrick's Day was one year from my last cancer surgery. It was a great feeling to have a year of excellent health. Celebrated with flowers from Todd and The Snow Family and then pizza from Z Pizza (my fav) and sundae's. Mine was topped with Girl Scout Cookies - Thin Mints - yummy! Teya's was topped with a variety of sprinkles and candies. We then rented a cabin in Christopher Creek (just outside of Payson) this past weekend. Me, Todd, Teya and Marely went up Friday night and The Sutton Family joined us Saturday afternoon. Friday night and Saturday were a little cold for my taste, but the cabin was a really good time. Of course, Sunday was the warmest day - not that we went there for the warmth, I just prefer it :). Friday night we had dinner at a local restaurant - take out so we could be with Marley - and then played some games. Saturday we went for a nice hike before The Sutton's arrived. It was pretty chilly with a lot of wind, but we were prepared with lots of clothes, so we were good. There was still some snow on the ground in the shaded areas, so Teya was extremely excited to get to play in some snow. The snow patches were pretty large and deep. I would fall to mid-shin in places, so she got a pretty good experience. We then went back and had lunch while we waited. Once they got there we went for another short hike and found some more snow for the kids to play in. Fun, fun, fun!
The "resort" has a fenced in area for dogs, so Marley got to have some fun off the leash. There is a play area for the kids. Not like the local parks, but the kids loved it. All in all it was a pretty cool place. The cabin wasn't spectacular, but it served it's purpose for all 8 of us with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen including stove, fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, camping grade plates, cups, silverware, pots and pans, a sitting area with fireplace and tv with local channels. The best part for the kids was the loft. It had a low ceiling, but the kids could walk. There were 4 kid size beds up there and the kids absolutely LOVED it!
We forgot our camera, but took pictures on our phones. I'll post the pictures once we get them uploaded.
