Traditional towels are bulky and take ages to dry unless the weather is good. Spend a week's camping with perpetually damp towels and you'll quickly realise that getting travel towels is totally the way forward. These dry in 3/4 of the time of a traditional towel and are also less bulky. Imagaine the folded dimensions of a couple of mans hankies and you get the idea. Smaller than the Mega Micro Fibre towel but still capable of wrapping around youfor a really good towel drying experience. Beautiful soft material that your nails don't catch on, unlike some travel towel materials, and a bold colour so easy to find in a cupboard or rucksac. Stop reading the reviews and order one now. You won't regret it, you'll just regret all those camping trips where most of your ruc sac was a towel that made your other clothes damp!

I bought one of these towels a couple of weeks ago for a young friend who is currently using it on a camping trip in Scotland and he was delighted with it. A mutual friend already owns one of these and recommended that it would make an excellent little gift, as he uses his own regularly and says it really is as good as it claims to be. I haven't tried it out myself yet, but I've bought my husband and myself one each for our next venture up north in the camper-van - looking forward to not having soggy towelling towels hanging around all the time!
19/06/2013 10:02:09
this towel is really smooth and soft. The size is adequte for an adult so dont let the sizing confuse you. The towel packs down real small and is light weight, making it ideal for any expedition or for light weight camping. It also has anti bacterial propeties.
04/03/2012 12:01:46
It's the best towel I still don t no how it works but you are dry so quietly the size is good and the purple is brillent as its my lucky colour the bag is ok as my sister brought one from you and the zip broke so watching my very carefully .
02/09/2012 19:03:43
If you're flying with hand baggage only on a budget airline, taking a big towel means you waste a lot of luggage space. This towel is tiny but really does get you dry if you've been for a swim. At the price it's a real bargain!
24/04/2012 12:06:34
Would have liked if there there had been a smaller towel available, for example a conventional hand towel size. This rules out the need to cut others to the required size. I have seen these in Ambleside shops. Thanks.
22/01/2013 19:43:19
I bought this for a present but have used one just the same myself for over 2 years on and off, its great for travelling and space saving, would recommend this to anyone who is packing a bag to go away anywhere!
17/03/2012 08:30:01
Small package for such a large towel! Purchased for a holiday, but now lives in my sports bag or cycle to work back pack and used all the time. A must for all sports and outdoor enthuiasts. Excellent.
22/03/2013 12:14:32
These towels are fab my children take them for swimming lessons at school because they are light even when very wet .we all have one for when we go camping they dry so quickly and wash fab .
30/04/2012 07:42:41
This arrived promptly and is exactly what I was needing. Very pleased with my purchase, and the sale price was so good that I bought five of them - one for each member of my family!
11/01/2012 17:07:46
As microfibre towels go this one is pretty good. Not the best out there but still a good towel. Would be nice if it were bigger though. The 'giant' description is a bit misleading!!
01/07/2012 11:36:17
My son thought it was lovely ans soft and easy to refold.I wasn't aware such a product was available. Will purchase a few more of these. So convenient for lightweight traveling.
26/01/2012 20:14:17
Have not seen these before but was recommended and your assistant was very helpful in explaining the item and showing it to me and showing a choice of similar things
22/04/2012 11:49:32
Was surprised how good this was, takes up a lot less room than a normal towel and doesn't seem to get that wet even though it dries you as well as a normal towel
04/01/2013 21:38:19
Great for light travelling or taking to the pool regularly! Bonus that it was half price in the sale, but would have bought one at full price none-the-less
03/10/2013 17:52:16
this product will be very useful on during my backpacking travelling. Towels take so much space and some accomodation don't include a towel. Good purchase.
04/10/2013 08:58:55
It was difficult finding a micro fibre towel this size anywhere on the net. It was the exact item I needed for my holiday. Nice quality
20/09/2013 11:17:12
Brought a couple of these for a holiday and they were extremely useful. Not only are they lightweight but don't take up much room at all.
04/08/2013 18:00:59
This compact towel doors just the jobs. Fits easily into my kit bag and is lightweight. Make sure to hand wash as the colour does run.
11/03/2013 22:15:54
Light and take up hardly any poacking space, we now have 2 each for holidays but also useful when staying at friends houses overnight.

Film Screening – A Class Divided
Wednesday, May 11 at 7 PM in the Community Room
In 1970, an innovative teacher attempted a daring experiment in her elementary school classroom. To evaluate how racial stereotypes affect young children, Jane Elliott divided her class between those with blue eyes and those with brown and gave blue-eyed children preferential treatment. This classic program presents the long-term effects of racial stereotyping in schools and suggest how new approaches can make a positive difference with students and teachers. Discussion to follow film screening. Co-sponsored by the YWCA Darien/Norwalk.

Out-of-control pickup truck slams into triple decker
BROCKTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- An out-of-control pickup truck slammed into a parked truck, sending both vehicles crashing into a residential building in Brockton Monday morning. Tenants in two of the six units that the vehicles damaged were displaced.
"Bang, and the whole house shook. Like we said, it was like an earthquake. It was startling," said Carrie McCarthy, a tenant.
A pickup truck travelling along Belmont Street slammed into a parked pickup truck before plowing into a triple decker.
"We tried getting out this morning to see what it was, but we can't open the door 'cause it's jammed. Then we looked up and it's cracked, cracks up there, cracks in the ceiling," said Joseph Doran, a tenant.
Everyone inside the building was able to get out safely. The driver of the out-of-control pickup was rushed to the hospital.
Charlie Beckman, who owns the maroon pickup truck that was hit, said he was sleeping when he heard a big boom.
"I was sleeping and then the whole house shook and I don't know what happened. After that it was just like, 'where's my truck,'" said Charlie Beckman, a tenant.
It took emergency responders hours to untangle the twisted metal and shore up the gaping hole left behind.
Residents were thankful no one was seriously hurt.
"We're okay. A little shaken up early this morning, but now they're putting us up in a hotel for a couple of nights 'cause we all have to leave," said Carrie McCarthy, a tenant.
As of Monday afternoon, there was no word on when the displaced residents could return to their homes.
Police said the driver may have suffered a medical emergency before the crash.
The accident is under investigation.

Illuminated Manuscripts
by Beth CarswellAn illuminated manuscript is any manuscript whose text is accompanied by decoration. It originally referred only to silver or gilt adornments, but came to be acceptable terminology for any manuscript with drawings, paintings or decorations such as ornate initials, borders, floral accoutrements and the like. Often the illuminations would depict a historical or rural/pastoral scene.
The earliest confirmed example of illuminated manuscripts in existence today originated some 2000+ years ago. While some of the oldest instances were on papyrus, a thick, papery substance produced from the pulped flesh of the Egyptian papyrus plant, most were made of parchment, a thin writing material made from the skin of an animal, usually calf, goat or sheep. The highest quality parchment, very smooth and fine, was called vellum.
Some of the best examples of illuminated manuscripts surviving today come in the form of Books of Hours, rich and ornate devotional books containing collections or hymns, psalms, and prayers. The term Books of Hours is derived from their attention to the hourly prayers that devout Catholics were expected to stop and observe multiple times daily.
With the increasing availability of paper in the late Middle Ages, and the advent of printing, manuscripts went from being heavily scrolled and decorated to having only borders, only initials or other sparse embellishment, and eventually the production of illuminated manuscripts became very rare.
Contemporarily, as books are more and more often mass-produced reading copies, the existence and availability of genuine, original illuminated manuscripts becomes increasingly scarce. There are countless facsimiles and reproductions, which are painstakingly created to be as beautiful as the originals.They vary in price, but many are quite affordable. Illuminated pages removed from manuscripts are often sold separately, as stand-alone art, as well.
The luxury of illuminations present in a book creates another level of enjoyment; not only the information, entertainment and fascination in reading, but also the pure pleasure of beauty, art and attention to detail. *Please note: Copies on display may sell quickly.
Carta Executoria de Hidalguia in favor of Juan Francisco Rodriguez
1586 - In Spanish. Illuminated manuscript. 48 Vellum leaves., One beautiful full page illumination incorporating the grantee's arms, 36 lines written in black ink, multiple ruled red ink border, 12 headlines in blue and red lettered in liquid gold.
Liber Super Ethicorum Aristotelis
by Thomas Aquinas
1460-1480 - Aquinas' Commentary on the Ethics of Aristotle, in Latin, including 160 folios. The illuminated frontispiece includes an historiated initial of St. Thomas, a three-quarter floral border set in black ink trellises, two painted roundels, the monogram YHS, and a white swan. An elegant example of a Renaissance manuscript decorated in the Ferrarese style.
Use of Rome
In Latin and French
1460 - A fine, especially substantial Book of Hours with lively borders. Very attractive 17th century French mottled calf, neatly rebacked reusing the original spine, raised bands, backstrip in six compartments with elaborate floral gilt decoration. In a fine fleece-lined brown morocco box with raised bands and gilt titling.
Pieta - Lamentation (Descent from the Cross)
1480 - Fine Medieval miniature on vellum from a Northern French Book of Hours highlighted in gold. Upper compartment of the recto has the Pieta & Cross; it shows the cross with two men on ladders with torture instruments (one ascending and one descending the cross).
Qur'an - Western Iran or Ottoman Turkey
1600 - The large blue and gold hasps projecting into the margins from the center of the smooth border are reminiscent of Herati and Bukharan work of the 16th century. The style of illumination, decoration and calligraphy demonstrates the frequent movement of artists between artistic centers in Persia and the Ottoman Empire.
Grant of Arms to Gregorio de Castro by Emperor Charles V
1536 - Early and handsome example of early 16th century Spanish illumination and grant of arms; signed by the Emperor and including two large miniatures. Text is surrounded by a wide border to top and lateral margins, embodying interlacing designs, flora and fauna, with a golden background. The border and heraldic decoration are splendid examples of the Hispano-Flemish school of miniature painting.
Yusof-o Zoleiha
by Jami, Nurad-din 'Abd ar-Rahman
1793 - Persian manuscript by Muhammed Aslam with splendid title ornament and 61 miniatures. Written space ruled in blue, red, and gold, sprinkled in gilt; chapter separators decorated with flowers and ornaments, verse headings in red ink with sparse decoration. A remarkable manuscript with meticulously crafted miniatures and beautiful, finely ornamented calligraphy.
Flemish Flower Manuscript
1630 - These manuscripts form one of the earliest known collections of images of a significant number of different varieties of tulips: at least 20 are pictured, and although they are not identified they form a rare and valuable record of the cultivars of the period. In addition to tulips, the images also include pinks, narcissi, irises, martagon lilies, roses and asters.
The Haggadah
Arthur Szyk
2008 - The new luxury limited edition of The Arthur Szyk Haggadah. Hebrew and English Text. Szyk, the greatest 20th century illuminator and —in the words of historian Cecil Roth—"the greatest illuminator since the 16th century", considered the Passover Haggadah his masterwork. The 48 miniature paintings of this luxurious fine art book are the modern culmination of medieval tradition of illuminated manuscripts.
Bible in English - New Testament
1400 - Copied by a single scribe (except Ten Commandments) in red and brown ink in a highly legible and skilled textualis (textura) hand: a professional scribe. Catchwords regularly boxed in red. Unflourished paraph marks throughout text in blue; line fillers in blue and red; unflourished smaller initials throughout in blue; large pen-flourished initials throughout in blue and red; with pen-flourished sprays and bar decoration to form borders.
Text from the Opening of Gospel Lessons
No date - A very fine illuminated vellum manuscript leaf with an especially beautiful miniature of Saint John on Patmos, from a book of hours in Latin and French.Featuring a superb miniature and a sumptuous border, the present John on Patmos leaf is nothing short of exquisite, and although the nine leaves from the same manuscript are all fine in their own way, this first one is the best.
A Dream of Fair Women
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
1910 - Manuscript on vellum, in disciplined calligraphic hand in black and red ink to recto and verso. Centre panel of upper board blocked in gilt in an elaborate and detailed floral design with red onlays and inset with 5 garnet cabochons and 6 turquoise cabochons. The prestigious London bindery Sangorski and Sutcliffe made a speciality of fabulous jeweled bindings.
A selection from the poems of Henry Longfellow
1884 - Illuminated manuscript engrossed on 12 leaves of vellum. Written in English and beautifully embellished with wide borders on each page, initials and other decorations in color and gold. Bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe in full red levant, wide inner red levant borders, gilt-tooled back and sides, extra tooled sides Legascon style, lettered on spine and center front cover, gilt edges. Preserved in a cloth slipcase.
Text from the Opening of the Office of the Dead
1460 - Apart from those relatively few copies with illustrated calendars, the miniatures found in Books of Hours are almost entirely devoted to retrospective Bible scenes that are obviously outside the experience of the illuminator; it is only in the present kind of funeral scene at the beginning of the Office of the Dead that we can see a contemporaneous rendering of a scene from the daily life of the Middle Ages.
All the Works of John Taylor
1630 - Six volumes bound in half leather with marble paper covered boards. Exquisitely illustrated with woodcut engravings, head and tail pieces and illuminated letters. Very scarce. These volumes contain no title page and have been bound out of sequence.
French Miniatures From Illuminated Manuscripts
Jean Porcher
1960 - General survey of French illuminated manuscripts of the 10th to 15th centuries. Includes 90 tipped-in color plates, 90 black and white illustrations in text and an additional 4 tipped-in color plates in text. Scholarly text with gorgeous, gorgeous illustrations.
The Art of Illuminated Manuscripts
J.O. Westwood
1988 - a series of illustrations of the ancient versions of the bible, copied from illuminated manuscripts, between the fourth and 16th centuries. Originally published under the title 'Palaeographia Sacra Pictoria' by William Smith, Fleet St., London, 1843-5.
A History of Illuminated Manuscripts
Christopher De Hamel
1997 - From the earliest monastic Gospel Books to textbooks, secular romances, Books of Hours and classical texts. Fundamental questions discussed - who wrote the books, text they contained, who read them, how they were made, what purposes they served.
Later Gothic Manuscripts 1390-1490

1996 - A survey of manuscripts illuminated in the British Isles, complete in two volumes. This publication covers the very large body of material that survives from the Romanesque period, a time of intense creativity. Clothbound. A fine bright copy with 760 illustrations.

KENNEWICK, Wash- Memorial Day is a day when Americans take time to remember their fallen heroes. For Terri Francisco-Farrell and her sister, every day for the past 45 years has been Memorial Day.
It's hard to imagine dealing with the death of a beloved soldier, but for the Francisco family that's all they had, imagination, because the truth about the death of their brother remained a mystery for years until now.
San D. Francisco was a 2nd Lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force. His plane was shot down in Vietnam. He was killed by gunfire during the mission that was meant to save him. These details were completely unknown to his family for almost half a century.
"It's very comforting with the news that we've had," said Terri Francisco "It just brings it all more closer to home."
Last month the sisters received an unclassified report detailing the death of their brother. They've celebrated Memorial Day every year with him in mind, but this year their thoughts are somewhat lighter.
"Memorial day 2013 will always be the biggest step of hope I've had in 45 years…I felt proud that my brother had given his life for his country. I felt happy because there's a community here that supports him and I feel sad to think that he'll never come back."

Dividend Yield category has offered better protection in a volatile market environment. The category in the last one year has outperformed the relative benchmark index by 6 percent while the diversified category has managed only 2 percent outperformance
The Dividend Yield fund category has been able to generate better returns against the benchmark index and the equity diversified category across various periods. Over the last five years, dividend yield fund category has generated an alpha (outperformance of index) of 8 percent whereas equity diversified category has managed an alpha of 1 percent. The Dividend Yield category during the last four and three years out-beat the diversified category significantly by generating an alpha of 9 percent and 7 percent respectively. Traditionally, higher dividend equities have offered better protection in a volatile market environment.
According to Dominic Rossi, CIO - Equities, Fidelity Global, "The dividend income offers a measure of protection to investors against market volatility. These companies are typically large, robust household names which may well prove to be a relatively safe place for investors when you see mounting stresses in the banking system."
According to him, investors should focus on high-quality, defensive companies with stable and reliable earnings streams which pay high and sustainable dividends. Dividend Yield funds primarily invest in equities that boast good dividend yield and have sustainable operating cash flows with low leveraged financial statements. On the other hand, equity diversified funds predominantly invest in companies across various market capitalization and sectors. Dividend Yield funds classically do well during periods of market volatility and correction.

Capability Immaturity Model
This article reads like a news release, or is otherwise written in an overly promotional tone. (June 2012) |
Capability Immaturity Model (CIMM) in software engineering is a parody acronym, a semi-serious effort to provide a contrast to the Capability Maturity Model (CMM). The Capability Maturity Model is a five point scale of capability in an organization, ranging from random processes at level 1 to fully defined, managed and optimized processes at level 5. The ability of an organization to carry out its mission on time and within budget is claimed to improve as the CMM level increases.
The "Capability Im-Maturity Model" asserts that organizations can and do occupy levels below CMM level 1. An original article by Capt. Tom Schorsch USAF as part of a graduate project at the Air Force Institute of Technology[1] provides the definitions for CIMM. He cites Prof. Anthony Finkelstein's ACM paper[2] as an inspiration. The article describes situations that arise in dysfunctional organizations. These situations are not uncommon and occur in organizations of all kinds undertaking software development, i.e. they are more properly in practice characterizations of the management of specific projects since they can occur even in organizations with positive CMM levels.
Capability Immaturity Model levels[edit]
Finkelstein defined levels 0 (foolish), -1 (stupid) and -2 (lunatic). Schorsch changed the names and added level -3.
0 : Negligent[edit]
The organization pays lip service, often with excessive fanfare, to implementing engineering processes, but lacks the will to carry through the necessary effort. Whereas CMM level 1 assumes eventual success in producing work, CIMM level 0 organizations generally fail to produce any product, or do so by abandoning regular procedures in favor of crash programs.
-1 : Obstructive[edit]
Processes, however inappropriate and ineffective, are implemented with rigor and tend to obstruct work. Adherence to process is the measure of success in a Level -1 organization. Any actual creation of viable product is incidental. The quality of any product is not assessed, presumably on the assumption that if the proper process were followed, high quality is guaranteed. This is the most common level achieved by most organizations that pursue CIMM ratings.
Paradoxically, Level -1 organizations believe fervently in following defined procedures, but lacking the will to measure the effectiveness of the procedures they rarely succeed at their basic task of creating work. Unfortunately, this behavior is inherent in the CIMM evaluation process. Since many government agencies will only award contracts over a certain monetary value to organizations that can pass a CIMM-3 or higher SCAMPI appraisal, management is more often than not willing to accept some inefficiencies in order to win these lucrative contracts. Government contracting models, in which organizations are paid not for the value of their products but by the number of hours spent building them, reward organizations for performing non-value-added activities related to CIMM compliance. Thus, government contractors with CIMM ratings will ultimately be more profitable than non-CIMM rated companies regardless of the quality of the work they produce. Whether CIMM processes provide any value in producing higher quality work is immaterial.
-2 : Contemptuous[edit]
The organization's ineffectiveness has become apparent to the marketplace or the larger organization, which ignores or attempts to neutralize these unfavorable perceptions. Measurements are fudged to make the organization look good. Measures of activity (bugs fixed, lines of code written, hours worked) replace measures of productivity (% functions completed, test success rates). (This exchange is favorable to an organization in direct proportion to its ineffectiveness.) Volatility in specifications and schedules is recast as evidence of organizational "agility." Certifications on "best processes" are presented as evidence that the organization is performing optimally; poor results must then be due to issues outside its control and for which, therefore, no one can be blamed. Regrettably, the processes chosen typically omit or shortcut essential components of recognized methods – the "6-week Six-Sigma, "Lean CMM" - or are flexible enough to cover a multitude of sins, such as "agile development". The organization becomes committed to ineffective processes, leading to a feedback cycle of increasing disorganization.
-3 : Undermining[edit]
Not content with faking their own performance, undermining organizations routinely work to downplay and sabotage the efforts of rival organizations, especially those successfully implementing processes common to CMM level 2 and higher. This is worst where company policy causes departments to compete for scarce resources, which are allocated to the loudest advocates.

Huckabee's Out, Others Still on Fence
As former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said, there are the "known knowns" and the "known unknowns" and the "unknown unknowns" and, well ... "Stuff happens."
Giuliani, in N.H., Rips "RomneyCare"
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Friday he did not know when he would decide whether he would launch another campaign for President. But where he said it might give some indication of what that decision might be. Giuliani was in New Hampshire, recalling the events of 9/11. And he answered questions about his own possible presidential plans in "an exclusive sit-down" interview with the Boston Herald, during which he also knocked potential rival Mitt Romney over the former Bay State governor's health insurance program, commonly called "RomneyCare."
Ron Paul: The Doctor's In and Seeing Voters
The doctor is in.
U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, a 12-term Texas Congressman and retired obstetrician, "officially" announced his candidacy for President on ABC's Good Morning America Friday morning and a few hours later told about 300 supporters at a Town Hall rally in Exeter, New Hampshire, that he would carry the battle for personal freedom and constitutional government into the 2012 campaign.
Ron Paul to Announce Candidacy Friday on Good Morning America
Ron Paul, the Texas Congressman and retired obstetrician best known for his uncompromising libertarian convictions and his opposition to the Federal Reserve, is expected to announce his candidacy for President of the United States Friday on ABC-TV's Good Morning, America during the 7 o'clock hour, a source in the Paul camp told the online news journal Politico.
GOP Mocks 'Achievements' in Obama Campaign Video
Time truly flies on the Internet, and political campaigns may sometimes lead to strange alliances, both real and fanciful. By the time the Barack Obama campaign released its much-publicized YouTube video, The Road We've Traveled, Thursday night, the Republican National Committee had produced a poster that, while not exactly promoting the "docuganda" (what the Washington Post dubbed the combination documentary and propaganda production), it did call further attention to it.
Obama Launches Campaign Documentary on YouTube
President Barack Obama's reelection campaign will launch a YouTube video Thursday evening that will feature a 17-minute Hollywood-style video at a site that will function as a "one-stop shopping" venue to enlist volunteers, solicit contributions, and disseminate information and campaign videos on an ongoing basis. The interactive technology "will allow viewers to post campaign content to their Facebook pages, volunteer and donate all without having to leave Mr. Obama's dedicated YouTube page," the New York Times reported Thursday. The site reflects a growing reliance on "social media" of political campaigns, which have traditionally run all their videos and audio messages on TV and radio.
N.H. House Votes Employer Exemption to Contraceptive Mandate
Reflecting an ongoing controversy in Washington, D.C., New Hampshire's House of Representatives Wednesday approved a bill to exempt employers with religious or moral objections from provisions of a state law requiring health insurance plans to provide coverage for contraception. The bill passed in the heavily Republican House by a vote of 196-150 after a spirited debate, with arguments for religious liberty met with vigorous objections to limits on women's access to reproductive health services.
U.S./NATO Troops Celebrate Victory Day in Red Square
Anti-communists at the height of the Cold War may have dreamed of the day when NATO troops would march triumphantly through Red Square. But they probably never imagined it would be under a Soviet flag, with the hammer and sickle flying overhead.
U.S. Role Unclear in Planned UN Libya Mission
The United Nations Security Council is considering a resolution to establish a UN mission in Libya, unfreeze assets of two major oil companies and repeal a ban on flights by Libyan aircraft. Great Britain was circulating a draft of the resolution among the 15 member nations of the Security Council Tuesday night and is hoping for a vote on it by the end of this week, the Associated Press reported on Wednesday.
Documents Show CIA Helped Qaddafi Fight Libyan Rebels
Documents discovered in the rebel-occupied capital of Libya offer evidence that the CIA assisted the now-deposed Libyan ruler Muammar el-Qaddafi in apprehending and jailing suspected terrorists. Those suspects include members of the rebel forces the United States and NATO have aided in toppling the Qaddafi regime.

I looooove webcams, and I've got some time to kill before the Fourth of July fun gets started. If you're also sitting around waiting for the food to be grilled, now's a great time to check out some live zoo action. To be fair, I've included a variety of creatures as well as three cams with baby animals . . . ummm, adoro. Go ahead, blow kisses at your screen, I'm not telling.
- Lions! My current zoo cam of choice, I love to check in to see what the baby lions are up to. Nevermind that I can't understand a single word on the site except for "live" (as this zoo is all the way in Norway), my glimpses of mama lion canoodling and caring for her four cubs are too precious to pass up.
- Giant Pandas! Classic cam with lots of action, check out the Giant Pandas live from the San Diego Zoo. There are seven pandas there which makes spotting at least one fairly likely. And don't forget the other cams of the Apes, Polar Bears, and Elephants afterwards.

Criticisms, comments, and suggestions regarding clinic operations should be discussed privately with the student's academic advisor, the clinic supervisor, or the Director of On-Campus Practicum. For general issues, there is a clinic suggestion box in the student workroom.
The COE has an official student complaint procedure for issues regarding the student's academic program, faculty or other program issues. If a student has a concern, they are asked to use their professional skills to discuss the concern with the involved party (faculty, staff, other student, etc). If they feel that the issue has not been effectively resolved, they are asked to follow the chain of command, going to the Clinical Director (for on campus clinical issues) or to the Program Director (For academic or off campus clinical issues). If they continue to feel that the issue has not been addressed to their satisfaction they may make an appointment with the Department Chair. The COE has an appeals committee for academic issues and the student may bring their issue to this committee once they have followed the chain of command.
Graduate Seminar Dates
Graduate seminars are a required part of clinical practicum. Attendance is mandatory. Any unexcused seminar absence will result in the lowering of a student's practicum grade by one full letter grade. Seminar topics will be announced in an email to graduate students. All seminars meet from 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm, and are held in SLP 104, SLP 152, and SLP 155. Additional seminars, in-services, or review sessions may be presented at the discretion of faculty members. Please plan accordingly.

Florida Georgia Line is the country singer and songwriter duo of Tyler Hubbard (from Monroe, Georgia) and Brian Kelley (from Ormand Beach, Florida). The pair broke into the scene in the spring of 2012 with the infectious summer single "Cruise," a song that blended cruising country back roads and farm towns with ragged drums and layers of rock guitar, sounding a bit like a next-generation Brooks & Dunn. Hubbard and Kelley met when both were students at Nashville's Belmont University, and they began writing songs together between classes. They were soon playing local clubs, quickly building a fan following on the Southeast club circuit, and developing a sharp contemporary country sound. They signed with Craig Wiseman's Big Loud Mountain record label and entered the studio with producer Joey Moi to track a debut EP, It'z Just What We Do. A lead single, the bouncing and roaring "Cruise," appeared just in time to hit the airways at the beginning of summer in 2012. Six more tracks, all again produced by Moi, were added to the It'z Just What We Do EP to make the duo's first full-length album, Here's to the Good Times, which was released the following fall. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

Property is run down and needs maintenance badly. No airport shuttle before 6am and after 10pm so had to cab then.
The continental breakfast that was served contained eggs, panecakes and more providing good start for the day. The rooms were clean and pleasant.
Nothing, I am quite satisfied
I stayed in this hotel for 1 night. Not far from sea world. I liked breakfast.
Strange smell in the room.
Spacious with living room separate and two tv's. Breakfast was really excellent....value for money!!!!
Shower was pretty bad and comforters need to be replaced. Sheets clean etc but comforter had holes in it.

We liked the location and the shuttle service to both downtown and Sea World.
Although booked through Booking.com they had no knowledge of our booking. Whether this is an issue for Days Inn or Booking.com is for you to investigate.
The free breakfast was a bonus
Smell in the room
The price is good for the value you get
The rooms are not at the best shape.
I liked the bed was very nice and breakfast was good.
their was too much noise in the mornings, stuff was not friendly at all. they for got to leave towels 2 days in row.
Free Parking and easy to access. Close to San Diego Zoo and Sea World. Included breakfast was satisfactory.
Rooms are old, smelly and out dated. Bathrooms are not clean and in general state of disrepair. Room wasn't serviced. Noise from Pool area was very loud and operating times of pool were not adhered to. 2 star rating is probably a bit generous.
I liked that the room was large and that it came with hot breakfast. I also liked the girls in the lobby because they where helpful. I also liked the use of the shuttle. The price and location were the best!
You have to scheduled the shuttle 24 hours in advance if you want it to take you anywhere close. Noisy for light sleepers.
Location to Mission Beach & Sea World. Free Breakfast in the morning (pancakes and eggs) Value for the money in comparison to hotels closer to the beach.
Cleanliness of the carpet. Needs to be replaced!! We wore socks or shoes to prevent feet from turning black. We brought our own cleaning supplies to wipe down and housekeeping had "sticky fingers" and it went missing. Couch/Futon also needs to be replaced.
Very good location to the sea world, near the midway aircraft carrier, also near colorado Island.
Strange smell in the room,and is not insulated against noise.I can clearly hear the TV next door all night.
The location was great, with shops& restaurants nearby eg. Target, In-N-Out & Walgreens. Room was nicely furnished. Great to have complimentary breakfast. Added bonus was free bus shuttle to varous places, Zoo, SeaWorld & airport. Great value for money!
I liked that it was resonable distance to Sea World and that they had a hot continental breakfast
The rooms were very dirty, the air conditioning was broken and the rooms smelled musty and moldy. The carpet was so disgusting that we had to wear shoes the entire time inside the room
The pool was heated and clean, the shuttle to Sea World was nice, and the breakfast had a nice variety of hot and cold items.
The hotel staff was the worst I have ever witnessed. We could not get help from the front desk and they repeatedly told us they would be bring things such as blankets or towels and we had to go get them ourselves every time.They did not communicate with each other and never informed the shuttle or housekeeping staffs of any of our requests. We showed up for the shuttle each day and on four separate occasions the driver was unaware we had signed up. Awful front desk staff, this alone is why I will never return to this hotel.
Hotel had every we needed including free transport to local attractions. Generous amounts of food at breakfast. Good vzlue
we like to stay here have stayed here many times
asked for pool side with easy axsess they put us on 3rd floor had a heart attack in past and 3 rd story was a bit much to get back and forth from
The price and location were good. The heated pool was really heated - like bath water.
The swimming pool, laundry facilities, and continental breakfast were all across the street from where our room was located.
Breakfast was exellent
The shuttle to pick us up from the Sea World was late. We called to the front desk and were told that he arrived on time and we were not there. There was also a family of 4 with kids waiting for the same shuttle. All of us did not see the van? We were the only people on the pickup place. The driver did not see us? I think he was taking care of his personal business during working hours. After the call it took him another 40 minutes to pick us up.
The free breakfast. The in-room refrigerator and microwave. The balcony off our room. IT'S A GREAT BUDGET FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVE FOR A FAMILY VACATION. Based on this I would recommend this facility for family vacations.
The age of the facility. The size of the parking spaces. The size of the facility requires you to drive to the main lobby in order to check out. Updating the bathroom facilities would be nice. Our bathtub had cracks in it and the toilet ran all night. We couldn't enjoy the balcony as there was no outdoor seating available.
Charged cancellation fee when the reservation was changed a week in advance and gave our room away so we were down graded. Then when the charge showed up the girl at the front said we had no prior reservation at all and the cancellation fee was something else but would fall off since her computer didn't show the charge. She was very rude and said both managers were on vacation and there was nothing that could be done for 2 days. It didn't fall off and they still owe me almost $150.
The free breakfast was nice, the breakfast staff was super friendly. The best thing was the location. We were 5 minutes from Old Town San Diego, 15 minutes from San Diego and 15 minutes from Little Italy.
The place could have been cleaner. There was a shirt from the previous guest in the bathroom, it was never removed. The dresser drawers opened, had to jimmy one so it would stay closed.
Family Friendly and convenient to local restaurants, shopping stores, Sea World, Mission Bay, and the Casino!!!

The Cuisinart pressure cooker is fabulous, who can complain about delicious beef short ribs in 50 minutes as opposed to 3 hours. It's safe and easy, plus you can brown in the same removable inner pot then just change the setting to pressure cook. I love it!
The Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker is a must have for every kitchen. After doing much research on electric pressure cookers, I decided on the Cuisinart. Cuisinart is a dependable brand and I was excited to find the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker at Overstock.com. Being a novice with a pressure cooker, I found the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker easy to use. The food comes out delicious, cheep cuts of meat are tender and moist and macaroni and cheese is the best! As a "Mr. Mom" with two daughters, cooking a nutritious meal in a short time allows me to spend more quality time with my family. If you have never used a pressure cooker before you will find the Cuisinart Pressure Cooker easy to use, quickly prepares your meals and will find yourself using it weekly. Overstock also offers this appliance at a great price. Do yourself a favor and order one today. You and your family will thank you for the delicious meals.
Most likely the best thing I ever bought in the 47 years I've been cooking. I've had it two weeks and it's never been put away....use it almost every day..
Meal is done in no time, no spills like the traditional pressure cooker. I like it very much. I use the delay cooking alot.
This is a must have for busy people on the go! Just put your items in, program settings & go about your business while it does all the work! Easy clean up is a bonus! You won't be disappointed with this item!
We have several Cuisinart products, and this did not disappoint!. Very well styled as well as great time saver. Certainly lived up to the Cuisinart brand
Best electric pressure cooker I have ever used. Heavy duty, easy to use and clean.
This pressure cooker is awesome! Works like a charm. Highly recommend for mom's on the go !!!!
I have a stove top pressure cooker. I wanted to try a electric one and decided to go with the Cuisinart. This is a very nice pressure cooker to have meals prepared in a short period of time. Easy to operate, clean. The menu is intuitive. I like it. The look is great. It matches my stainless steel appliances.
I am in love with this pressure cooker!! Very fast, and food taste great!

News Releases by Email
News Release
Thursday, September 02, 2010
Media contact: Lee Schlesinger, 850-487-0554
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) on Thursday proposed a draft rule that would raise the recreational daily redfish bag limit from one fish to two per person in large areas of northern Florida. The FWC also is proposing to create three regional management areas for redfish to better target its management approaches for this popular Florida fish.
"We've come a long way since the early 1990s, when redfish stocks were largely depleted, but the management of redfish in Florida is turning out to be a success story," said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto. "The fishery is holding its own in southern Florida, and numbers of redfish in northern parts of the state are now at a point where it's safe to give back some fish to anglers."
The FWC has strictly managed redfish (also called red drum, channel bass and red bass) for more than 20 years to help rebuild overfished populations. A 2008 FWC stock assessment now indicates that annual management goals for redfish are consistently being exceeded in areas of northeastern and northwestern Florida.
As a result, the FWC is proposing establishment of three management areas for redfish in Florida (which are the same as established management areas for spotted seatrout). In all waters in the northwest management area (Escambia through Pasco counties) and in the northeast management area (Flagler through Nassau counties), the FWC proposal would raise the daily recreational bag limit for redfish from one fish to two. The Commission also directed staff to develop a possible redfish vessel limit in areas where a two-fish limit would apply. The current one-fish daily limit would still apply in all waters in the south management area (south of Pasco and Flagler counties).
The FWC has scheduled a series of workshops this fall to hear what people think about its redfish proposals. Information regarding these workshops and additional background regarding the FWC's redfish rule proposals is available online at MyFWC.com/Rules (click on "Fishing - Saltwater").
A final public hearing on the FWC's redfish rule proposals is scheduled for the Commission's February public meeting in Apalachicola.
FWC Facts:The Saltwater Fishing "Hot Sheet" gives the latest regulatory information for state and federal waters, as well as season updates and other current events in Marine Fisheries.

We've been having a lot of fun lately—we launched the Nokia Premium Developer Program for Lumia back in October, and it proved to be our most successful developer program ever. Our rewards program, DVLUP, has also proven extremely popular with developers, and we recently expanded it to include developers in the UK.
So we decided it was time to bring some "Premium goodness" to Asha development. Today we are excited to introduce the Nokia Premium Developer Program for Asha.

Getting There:
Vietnam has three international airports. These can be found in Ho Chi Minh which is the busiest, Hanoi and Danang, which is the quietest of the three. Most flights to Vietnam arrive from other Asian cities but others come fly in from Australia, America and occasionally Europe.
Vietnam is also accessible on overland routes through Cambodia, Laos and China.
Getting Around:
Trains connect the major cities, although they can sometimes be slow. The other option is to use Vietnam's public buses which also connect all major towns and cities but these can get quite packed sometimes. Private mini-bus companies compete with the public companies and, unfortunately, can get just as packed as the public trains.
If you are in the position where you can splash out, internal flights operate between the airports.

Hello Chief Dennis, it is very thoughtful and special to be invited as your friend on Police Link; we have so much in common, and with an extensive career, each of us are now retired. I miss working the streets more than anything...I'm still into teaching a little, but nothing compared as when I worked in Homeland Security and travel extensively throughout the United States instructing Police and Firemen on Emergency Response to Terrorism Incidents. I taught subjects on scene containment of Nuclear, Biological, Radiological, and Chemical hazards, Emergency Triage, Decon, etc. I loved meeting the firemen, especially in the Northern regions (NYC, New Jersey, and Boston); these guys are true risk takers, and have hearts as big as the moon itself. Well, I look forward to communicating with you and feel free to holler anytime, and if I may assist you any way at all, please feel free to let me know. Thanks again in advance. Michael Powell.
