Average Interview
I applied through college or university and the process took 2 months - interviewed at PwC in August 2013.
Interview Details – Two rounds of interviews. On campus, then office interview. On campus was very relaxed and conversational. I was actually surprised with how casual the manager was. He was even a little inappropriate or insensitive at times with the language he used. Office interview was again casual. They did most of the talking which surprised me. Two managers and a partner.
Interview Question – Most of the questions were conversational, not too much behavioral at all. I would have to say that the toughest part was just try to get a word in to sell myself. It was definietly much more difficult than when interviewing with other firms. If you can't sell yourself then the interview is pretty much shot. Additionally ice breakers when you walk in help a ton. I did not due that in these interviews and I noticed it made a huge impact at other firms. Answer Question

Hey everyone,
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ANDY SONG.....If you can't count RMG or AMOUR or IFTM. Better yet, why don't we each choose a new song and an old song?
I'd like to know why you choose the ones you do. Do you just like the sound of them or do they remind you of something happy or sad? Do you have a story that goes with the reason (one you can share @8^)?
I'll reserve my choices until I hear the others.

Afscheid! Lebewohl! Au Revoir!
I am jet-setting away tomorrow for the trip of a lifetime with five of my best friends! I wanted to write a farewell post to my loyal readers because I have decided to journal and Instagram while I am in Europe instead of keeping up with daily posts. In case you are curious, some highlights of our trip are staying at the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam overlooking the famous Amstel River, visiting the chocolate museum and beer gardens in Cologne, Germany, skydiving in Interlaken, Switzerland (if I can build up the courage), spending countless hours on the beaches of Saint Tropez, and of course… indulging in one of the fashion capitals of the world, Paris, France! I can't wait to blog about my experiences overseas upon my arrival home, but until then … see you in a month!

I'm trying to make the sangrias for my drink-through when the required fruits are in season, but sometimes it doesn't quite work out. I wanted to make a sangria for my Christmas cookie baking party, but the seasonal sangrias that I hadn't already tried (grapefruit sparkling, pomegranite/persimmon/tangerine) seemed a little too risky to make for the first time for a party. (Well, the grapefruit sangria seemed to risky, and I just didn't feel like messing around with pomegranite seeds that weekend!) So instead I chose a semi-seasonal sangria instead – Limonada Espana.
I stocked up on fresh lemons – the recipe takes two lemons plus a half-cup of lemon juice! – but I had to settle for canned peaches from Trader Joe's instead of fresh.
Since the peaches were preserved in white grape juice, I cut down a little bit on the added sugar. The featured liquor in this sangria is Liquor 43 (Cuarenta Y Tres), a Spanish vanilla flavored liquor with 43 ingredients in its top secret recipe.
Since we did our grocery shopping on the same morning as the party, this sangria had only about six hours for the flavors to meld before serving. it turned out well, but I think the lemon flavor overwhelmed the peaches, and I probably should have added the full amount of sugar because it was still pretty tart – I think Chuck added extra sugar to his.
Eating the wine-soaked peaches was fun, but I suspect that fresh peaches would have lent more peachy flavor to the finished product. Overall, there are other red wine sangrias that I prefer over this one, but I'd be interested in trying this fruit combination with a citrusy white wine sometime in the summer.

The tender words that Jodie Foster had for Mel Gibson during her speech at the Golden Globe Awards prompted some people to theorize that Mel fathered her two sons. Foster has never revealed her sons' paternity and has reportedly said she won't until they turn 21.
Gibson was sitting at a table with Charles, 14; and Kit, 12, as Foster — who stuck by Gibson while the rest of Hollywood shunned him in the wake of his anti-Semitic remarks and abusive treatment of a former girlfriend — told him: " You know, you save me, too."
"The kids look like him but blonder," a New York Post reporter quoted one onlooker as saying.
Foster and Gibson became friends in 1994 as co-stars of Maverick. They often play poker together.
"He's so incredibly loving and sensitive," she said recently. "I knew the minute I met him that I would love him the rest of my life."
Reps for Foster and Gibson declined to comment.
Meanwhile, Oksana Grigorieva — his ex-girlfriend and the mother of their daughter, Lucia — is suing the lawyers who crafted her custody agreement with him. The lawyers sabotaged her, she said, into accepting a terrible deal in 2011.

I must say I'm looking forward to this challenge so much! Like others, I live just out of a 'big city', Sydney, but I'll use Sydney for the challenge. Harbour Bridge, Opera House, SCG (Sydney Cricket Ground), Center point tower, Bondi Beach (the most over-rated beach on the planet ) and so much more. My only concern is the time limit, but I should be fine! I'm looking forward to seeing the results, especially some European and Japanese ones.

Peak muskie fishing season is upon us and Save The River would like to remind anglers to practice catch and release during muskie season.
For over 20 years Save The River has been educating and encouraging anglers to use catch and release when handling muskies to ensure the future of this unique species in the St. Lawrence River.
Save The River's Muskie Catch and Release Program encourages catch and release by giving anglers a limited edition Michael Ringer print to commemorate their catch. All you have to do is fill out our affidavit and submit it to Save The River and we will send you your personalized print in the mail.
Tips for safe catch and release:
- Try to unhook the fish without removing it from the water
- Never hold a muskie vertically
- Put a damp towel over the fish's head to prevent thrashing
- Take your measurements and photos quickly and carefully place the fish back in the water
The release of legal size muskies ensures a strong, naturally reproducing muskie population as well as large trophy fish for generations to come!
To learn more about this program or to notify us of your catch and release visit our website or call our office 315-686-2010.
Special thanks to Colby Bowman for submission of this great release photo taken this fall.

Many apologies for getting this out late but something came up so it's going to be short and to the point.
As always, volume confirms my buy/sell triggers. If the market decides it likes the news from overseas and the market rips higher here are the longs I will be interested in.
SNA – Watching $63.75
ALXN – Watching $95.05
BLL – Nice ascending triangle. $43.70
APA – Possibly clearing this descending trend line. $88.00
BRK.B – Testing $82.42.
If the market decides Europe still sucks shit and we get a repeat of last Sundays move the following shorts will be on my radar.
NKE – Testing this rising trend line. If it rolls over and continues to the downside I would set my stop at $103.25.
LULU – Sold off all last week. Still has an open gap at $54.08. Keep an eye on it.
CMG – Been working nicely in this descending triangle for weeks. Continues to offer low risk/reward entries testing that trend line.
LQDT – Failed the rising trend line on above average volume.
Ok, that's it. I am switching brokerages this week so I am going to be relatively light but will post charts and do a proper post here throughout the week.
Happy Father's Day, Motherfuckers,

"With mobile game development, it's all about balancing high-quality and speed of execution. This marketplace evolves so fast, you have to make a game in nine months; otherwise, it's going to be history. As a company we have evolved to create games faster and Autodesk has made that job a lot easier for us," said Sergei Gourski, chief financial officer and lead technical artist at Subatomic Studios.
"I think a lot of developers underestimate the amount of time and money they can save working with 3ds Max. The software pays for itself very quickly," added Jamie Gotch, CEO of Subatomic Studios.
Although Fieldrunners 2 looks two-dimensional, Subatomic Studios developed the title on a 3D game engine and built all of its assets in 3D with 3ds Max software. This enabled the studio to create stand-out graphics and more fluid animation. The third dimension added depth to the game's scenes, which enhanced the gameplay by creating a new approach to maze-building.
"It would have taken anywhere from several weeks to several months to animate a single game asset by hand, depending on its complexity. By using 3ds Max we were able to compress this down to just a few weeks per asset. Plus, we found even bigger time savings when it came to iterating. The software let us try things out very quickly and see our work in-game with just the click of a button," explained Gotch.The software also helped Subatomic optimize "Fieldrunners 2" for iOS, and it can be used to more easily prepare the game for release on additional platforms in the future.
"3ds Max allows our engineers to very quickly tweak the animations to fit the memory needs of a device or platform. We are able to cut a game's size down by 30 to 50 percent, by selectively exporting animations. This is hugely beneficial for mobile game development, when you can make a big impact on the game with just a few extra kilobytes," said Derrick Barth, technical artist.

David Cronenberg's Cosmopolis – Clip

Once upon a time, Cronenberg made really weird movies. Really, really weird movies.
Like, making out with a TV in Videodrome …
or killing someone with your armpit penis in Rabid …
And despite a slight detour into dramatic normalcy with A History of Violence, Eastern Promises, and A Dangerous Method, it looks like ole Crony is back to his old tricks with Cosmopolis.
Here is a little taste:
Starring Robert Pattinson, who moped and sparkled his way through five Twilight movies, and based on a book by acclaimed literati Don DeLillo, this little whacked out flick is sure to get Cronenberg superfans back on board the freak train.

Yemeni protestors resilient on revolution's first anniversary [Al-Alam, Iran]
Presenter, Female # 1
The Yemeni capital Sana'a and other provinces witnessed demonstrations under the banner "the Friday of making history," an indication that one year has passed since the protest movement against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime started in Yemen on February 3rd. Members of the air force also continued their demonstrations demanding the dismissal of Saleh's brother.
Reporter, Male # 1
"Making history" is the name given to the 51st Friday of the Yemeni revolution that completed its first year. These masses are aware they are creating a new phase and a different Yemen.
Guest, # 2 (Mohammad Sabri, Yemeni journalist)
On the "Friday of making history," we would like to send the world many messages. Yemenis today are creating their new history through the popular and peaceful youth revolution and, today, they are showing Yemen's civilized side.
Reporter, Male # 1
On this Friday, the squares of the revolution in Sana'a and all Yemeni provinces celebrated the launch of protests demanding the downfall of President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime. Yemenis were also celebrating all the achievements and victories they have attained during an exceptional year in Yemen's history.
Guest, Male # 3 (Bassem Hakimi, Popular Youth Revolution Leader)
February 3 represents a strategic turning point in the foundation of the political regime. The revolution that was sparked on February 3, 2011 brought real and fundamental change to the regime's political structure. That regime ruled the country for 33 years.
Reporter, Male # 1
The masses also vowed to continue what they called the "revolutionary act," until all their goals are attained and the remnants of Saleh's regime are removed.
Guest, Female # 1
We tell the regime of Abduallah Saleh: "You are over; your rule is over; your injustice is over; enough, enough, and enough."
Reporter, Male # 1
The demands for cleansing the country of Saleh's figureheads and relatives, and for holding the corrupt accountable, have been reiterated on many Fridays. This is a demonstration for members of the air force that took place in front of the president's house. These masses gathered at the Interior Ministry headquarters on a Friday they called "You get life for retribution," demanding that the killers of one citizen surrender, and accusing ministry soldiers of being involved in the killing. The youths of the revolution are aware of the exceptional importance of this day in Yemeni history, and this was made clear when they rallied under the banner "Friday of making history." Everyone realizes they are experiencing a transitional phase created by the revolution, and these masses are resolved to make change happen. Ali al-Zahab, al-Alam, from al-Siteen Street in Sana'a.
Document reveals NYPD's religion-based policing eyed Shiites [BBC Arabic, UK]
Presenter, Male #1
The New York Police Department is facing strong criticism after documents were leaked revealing its means of dealing with the Muslim community in the city. These documents unveiled that police have intensified their surveillance of Muslims, especially Shiites, out of concern that they may be linked to what the police referred to as terrorism.
Reporter, Female #1
These people are part of the Shiite community in New York. Leaked documents indicate the police see them as potential terrorists linked to Iran, which prompted the city's police to increase surveillance on them based solely on their religion. This has evoked a number of questions.
Guest, Male #2
The commissioner police knows me very well. So does the city's mayor and most government bureaus. Officials in the White House also know me well. Therefore, if we are under the surveillance, it is a kind of surprise for me.
Reporter, Female #1
The leaked documents explained the NYPD's mentality and the reasons why they expect terrorist threats from certain institutions and people, more specifically, those linked to the religion of Islam. The police set up surveillance in dozens of mosques across the city without proof of any connection between the mosques and terrorist groups in the last ten years.
Guest, Male #3
We reach out to the Muslim community, we work with them. They provide us with plenty of information. We hope to continue a trustworthy relationship with them.
Reporter, Female #1
Police data indicates that there are approximately 35,000 Shiite Muslims in New York City and its suburbs. More than 8,000 of them are of Iranian descent, and they are the most watched. Other groups in the Muslim community are also under surveillance, such as Palestinians, because police believe that they are more likely than others to be connected to terrorists. The documents revealed that undercover policemen visited a number of local businesses, such as Islamic libraries and cafes, to chat with the shop owners and cricket players in order to identify their origins and understand their general opinions. All this was within the framework of a spy program designed by an officer in the US Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA.
Islamists take parliament in Kuwait vote [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Male #1
Amid an absence of women and few liberals, Kuwait held its parliamentary elections. The Islamist-led opposition won by a landslide by securing a majority of 34 seats in the 50-member parliament, compared to only nine seats in the previous, dissolved National Assembly. The liberals sustained a major defeat by losing three of their five previously held seats, while women lost all four of their seats. Our correspondent Ahmad al-Einaizi reports from Kuwait.
Reporter, Male #2
With more than 60 percent participation, the end of elections in Kuwait marked the beginning of the vote count. There were many surprises, most notably the arrival of new lawmakers in parliament, accounting for more than 50 percent of the vote, which makes it the highest percent of change in the history of Kuwaiti Parliament.
Guest, Male #3
Opposition blocs and activists who supported the opposition at the squares by holding demonstrations and forums, which eventually led to the dissolution of parliament, have been increasingly gaining momentum.
Reporter, Male #2
In another surprise twist, the Islamist-led opposition won by a landslide, which grants them full authority over parliamentary resolutions. In addition, Kuwaiti women lost all of their parliamentary seats, after their historic 2009 victory at the National Assembly. Meanwhile, the liberals, who decided to run on a separate ticket from the opposition, only won two seats. Tribal candidates sustained a major defeat despite their good performance in the primaries. This has provoked concern by some.
Guest, Male #4
The opposition will likely control the council and its presidency.
Reporter, Male #2
A period of conflict has ended, marking the beginning of a new phase filled with many challenges. Most notably, the competition for the council's presidency and the formation of new alliances in parliament, especially with the emergence of new blocs and the disappearance of others that previously played a major role in the political scene. The election results stirred mixed reactions that fluctuated between approval and disapproval. While some describe the new parliament as "strong," and have high hopes for it, others believe it includes troubling figures that may further fuel the situation. Ahmad al-Einaizi, Dubai TV, Kuwait.
New UN draft resolution on Syria does not call for al-Assad's resignation [Dubai TV, UAE]
Presenter, Male #1
On the eve of the anniversary of the Hama massacre, the city witnessed military reinforcements, as shown in these images uploaded online by activists. The activists said the army closed public streets in Hama and staged checkpoints and barriers. The US and European-backed Arab League efforts to resolve the Syrian crisis have not yet produced any positive results at the UN Security Council. A new development was announced late last night, New York local time. Members of the UN Security Council were handed an amended draft resolution on Syria. According to the French news agency, the new draft resolution stipulates that the council supports the Arab League proposal for a political transition led by the Syrians, and which will lead to the formation of a democratic, multi-party regime. However, the draft resolution no longer includes an explicit call for President Bashar al-Assad to step down, and it doesn't include imposing an arms embargo or sanctions on Damascus. Commenting on the draft resolution, Russia's envoy to the UN Vitaly Churkin said that sending a draft resolution to the government for consideration "doesn't at all predetermine its fate."
Protests escalate in Egypt after deadly soccer riot [Al Jazeera, Qatar]
Presenter, Male #1
Renewed confrontations erupted between protestors and security forces in the surrounding areas of the Interior Ministry in central Cairo over the incidents in Port Said. One protestor was killed in the confrontations. Approximately 800 others were injured in clashes near the ministry's building and in Tahrir Square last night.
Presenter, Female #1
At the same time, Tahrir Square is witnessing demonstrations under the slogan "the President First," demanding that presidential elections be held early.
Presenter, Male #1
In the eastern Egyptian city Suez, eyewitnesses said two people were killed and nearly 30 others were wounded in clashes between security forces and protestors over the Port Said incidents.
Presenter, Female #1
A fact-finding committee for the Port Said incidents has begun its mission in the city.
Reporter, Male #2
Protests and bloody conflicts broke out once again. This is the situation in Egypt two days after the disaster killed 74 people and wounded hundreds of others following a soccer match between two the teams, al-Ahly and al-Masry, in Port Said. Here, in the surrounding areas of the Interior Ministry in central Cairo, seesaw battles are ongoing between security forces guarding the ministry's building and dozens of protestors, most of whom are from the al-Ahly fan club known as al-Ultras. Tahrir Square, which was described as the beating heart of the Egyptian revolution, has become a platform for a mix of political protestors and soccer fan protestors. These people gathered to demand that the Military Council accelerate the transfer of power to civilians on a Friday they named the "Friday of the President First."
Guest, Male #3
They are supposed to relinquish power, so they should. If you can't handle the responsibility, then leave.
Reporter, Male #2
Last night, Tahrir Square was also a platform for massive turmoil and confrontations. The square and the surrounding areas of the ministry witnessed wide-scale clashes. The memory of incidents in Port Said, which are being referred to as a massacre, is still fresh.
Most victims in the incidents were Al-Ahly fans. Thousands of al-Ahly fans took to the streets, along with their sympathizers, to express their anger towards what they consider to be a security institution's conspiracy in the massacre. Hundreds of protestors were injured in the night clashes. The protestors believe that security forces allowed the al-Masry fans and those they describe as thugs to kill al-Ahly fans. Their reasoning is that the security institutions want revenge against the al-Ahly fans who took part in the revolution and subsequent events, along with fans of other soccer teams. Part of the protestors' anger is directed at the ruling Military Council. They accuse the council of negligence and of being unable to provide security in Port Said and other cities.
Suez is another platform for clashes. Eyewitnesses reported that two people were killed by police gunfire and dozens were injured when protestors of the Port Said massacre attempted to storm the security directorate's building. The Suez security directorate denied that the security and police are responsible for killing protestors, accusing outlawed perpetrators of being behind the incident. In any case, it seems as though confrontations will continue to escalate.
Bahrainis, Saudis stage fresh anti-regime protests [Press TV, Iran]
In Bahrain, thousands of protests have hit the streets in Bilad al-Qadim near the capital of Manama to demand the ouster of the al-Khalifa regime. The protestors also condemned the brutal Saudi-backed crackdown on demonstrations. Earlier on Thursday, an elderly man and woman died in Manama after inhaling tear gas fired by regime forces. Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, people have taken to the streets in the country's oil-rich Eastern Province against the recent killing of protestors by regime forces.
Iran Supreme Leader threatens retaliation against attack [Press TV, Iran]
The leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Khamenei says his country will continue to stand by any nation or group that chooses to fight against Israel. Ayatollah Khamenei has also warned that Tehran will retaliate if the West carries out its threats of a unilateral oil embargo and war.
Iran's suspected nuclear program spotlighted in Herzliya Conference [IBA, Israel]
Here at home, in capping a day of strident warnings from Israeli officials about the dangers posed by Iran, Defense Minister Ehud Barak said that the world is increasingly prepared to consider a military strike against the Islamic republic if the economic sanctions fail to halt Iran's suspected nuclear program. Barak made his comments at the 12th Herzliya Conference, which serves as a center stage for the articulation of national policy by many prominent leaders. Vice President Premier Moshe Ya'alon, who heads the Strategic Affairs Ministry, described all Iranian nuclear installations as vulnerable to military strikes. This assessment from the former IDF chief of staff comes in contradiction to those of other Israeli defense officials and experts, who have estimated that such a strike would be extraordinarily difficult due to the location of Iranian nuclear targets dozens of meters below the ground. Ya'alon also went on to tell the audience that Tehran is also attempting to develop missiles with a 10,000 kilometer range, with the capability to strike the United States, and has already enriched uranium sufficient to construct four rudimentary nuclear bombs.
US Defense Secretary predicts Israel will strike Iran in the spring [IBA, Israel]
The United States believes that there is a strong likelihood that Israel will strike Iran in April, May or June, before Iran enters what Israeli leaders describe as "the zone of immunity" to commence building a nuclear bomb. These words reportedly from US Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, published in the Washington Post. CNN is reporting that a senior Obama administration official has validated that report.
Ban Ki-moon's Herzliya keynote calls for stop to Israeli settlement building [IBA, Israel]
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon delivered the keynote address at the Herzliya Conference, emphasizing that time is running out to solve the conflict with the Palestinians, and said that Israel should think carefully about how to empower those on the other side who wish for peace, saying that now is the moment for a demonstration of goodwill by both sides. Ban specifically called on Israel to stop building in the settlements, and to permit the increased delivery of construction materials into the Gaza Strip.
An in-depth look at the Free Syrian Army, part II [New TV, Lebanon]
Presenter, Female #1
In the second part of al-Akhbar newspaper's special report on the Free Syrian Army in the Lebanese border region of Wadi Khaled, my colleague Radwan Mortada's video reveals information about a number of this army's members, their munitions, and their operations in northern Lebanon.
Reporter, Male #1
In Wadi Khaled, Free Syrian Army members are active as part of armed and relatively organized groups that share control of the crossings. These people make deals with smugglers to transfer those injured in the incidents taking place in Syria, and to buy and smuggle weapons. According to my colleague Radwan Mortada, they receive support from influential political groups in the regions where they are active.
Guest, Male #2
The soldiers who defected from the regime are carrying their own weapons: a rifle, a rocket launcher, a machine gun, or submachine guns such as PCCs or PTTs. These are light weapons.
Reporter, Male #1
These groups gather to support the Syrian revolution by any means. However, they disagree about control and influence, and communication between their leaders is nearly severed.
Guest, Male #3
We function according to this coordination. We used well-known devices to contact the leadership of the Free Army, like the Thuraya phone, walkie-talkies, and many other means of communication. We dismantle landmines; we have soldiers who defected from the engineer battalion and they dismantle the mines.
Reporter, Male #1
Some of them conceal their real identities and pretend to be Syrian refugees. They hide during the day and are active at night. And from deep inside Syria, they come back with recordings of their loot.
Guest, Male #4
The city of al-Qusayr, December 17th 2011. With the help of God Almighty, a group of the regime's shabeha was captured. They were wearing army uniforms.
Guest, Male #5
I swear I'm from Daraa.
Guest, Male #6
I'm from Aleppo's countryside.
Guest, Male #7
They're sending you to die, you lowlifes? What don't you understand? Don't you understand, you two?
Guest, Male #5
They attacked us, we tried to flee, but we were prevented.
Guest, Male #4
This is a gift from the Free Army to Bashar al-Assad from the city of Qusayr.
Guest, Male #6
The party, Hezbollah; Hassan Nasrallah is sending his shabeha to kill our people in Syria. This is well-known, it's well-known. Iranians are also coming from Iran to kill the people in Syria. Al-Sadr's men are also coming.
Reporter, Male #1
This man also reveals that they captured two prisoners from Hezbollah who they're detaining in Syria.

Neil Burger's smart drug thriller comes to Blu-ray is a sharp AVC encoded 1080p transfer. As the main character goes from loser to genius, the color palette changes and the disc never misses the mark. Whether it's the desaturated world of the character off the drug or the bright vibrant world of him on the drug, the colors are always spot on, even black level stay consistent over the style change. Details pop throughout the film, especially in the "on the drug" moments, which is perfectly suited for the subject matter where the drug enhances the user's perception. Some minor aliasing is the only problem I witnessed, but like I said it was minor and pops up in the usual kinds of places.
The presentation gets really amped up in the sound department. The lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 soundtrack is a bombastic experience. The LFE track is used dynamically during the action sequences. Directionality and atmospherics are quite impressive, giving the viewer a portal into the locations. Dialogue is always clear and balances with the other elements perfectly. The sonic bombs that hit us in the title sequence are just the start of an audio experience that grabs attention.
The visuals and audio of the film are beautiful, but fans of the film might be disappointed in the special features. Neil Burger's commentary is good, but not great. He does a nice job of filling the viewer in on the details of the production and his wonderful approach to bringing the audience into the viewpoint of the main character when he's on the drug. The downside is that his energy level is down and he repeats himself at times. But it's still the best feature on the disc.
The "A Man Without Limits" and "Taking it to the Limit: The Making of Limitless" are your standard featurettes that get released online right before the film is released. We don't get more information than Bradley Cooper's approach to the character and how the visual style changes when his character is on the drug. Nothing additional comes from these that isn't better explained in Burger's commentary.
The disc also includes an Alternative Ending, which makes one wonder if this was the original ending until they devised the far better ending they ended up with.

How does stress relate to gaining weight? - Erin *
The connection between stress and weight gain isn't complex: When feeling stressed, people turn to food for comfort. To make matters worse, we tend to choose junk food over healthy food when stressed out, which means the calories can add up quickly.
Over time, this caloric imbalance can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of developing weight-related medical problems like high cholesterol and diabetes. Luckily, just knowing this can help you try to make better choices, even when you're stressed.
So instead of grabbing the chocolate ice cream the next time you feel anxious or stressed, reach for an apple, a handful of almonds, or a small bowl of light popcorn. Try an alternative stress reliever, like exercising (which will also help burn up any excess calories you eat), talking with a friend, or listening to some comforting music to help you reduce anxiety.

These debates are held each year to pick the Loyola debating team which engages in intercollegiate competition. Dental Seniors Addressed By Lt. Col. Denit Medical Officer Urges Seniors To Join Reserve Officer Corps Lieutenant Colonel Guy B. Denit of the United States Army Medical Corps addressed the senior class of the school of dentistry Wednesday in room 208, Bobet hall. The visit was made in an effort to encourage members of the senior class to enlist in the Reserve Officers Corps, United States Army, medical division, dental unit. The immediate attainment of the rank of first lieutenant and subsequent promotion in case of war are among the benefits to be obtained from such enlistment, Colonel Denit told the students. Enlistment is for five years and re-enlistment is in lieu of previous two-week encampments along with the proper correspondence with the War Department, he said. Dr. A. C. Broussard, professor of dental histology in the school of dentistry, introduced the speaker. Twelve members of the 1937 graduating class received their commissions and it is thought that this number will be more than surpassed in the present senior class.

Representatives from various universities and colleges throughout the Southland will present a brilliant pageant, culminating in the crowning of the Sugar Bowl Queen. This lucky young lady, to be named from the maids, has not been selected as yet. A floor show and other topnotch attractions will round out a well balanced program for the night. Cheerleader Pretty, brown-haired Catherine, Loyola's only delegate, was designated by the faculty and students of the university because of her excellent scholastic record and great popularity. Her valiant efforts as cheerleader will always remain in the minds of every Loyolan, and it seems fitting that she should be so honored by the university and the Midwinter Sports association. Katy is thrilled by it all and expectantly awaits the advent of the holiday season.

Mr. Chase, whose topic was "Art in the Newspaper," described, step by step, the processes involved in newspaper pictures, illustrating each step with a rapid sketch on the blackboard. He explained the importance of good pictures in daily papers as an aid to the full coverage of the news, asserting that "you can tell a news story with a good picture and a concise cut line." A cut line is that portion of printed matter appearing below every picture and explaining it to the reader. Action must be shown in cartoons, he said, displaying some of his work appearing in The Item Frosh, Sophs In Hausmann Trophy Debate Personnel of Teams to Be Chosen This Week By Elimination Representatives of the sophomore and freshman classes will meet in a debate December 22 for the second Hausmann Trophy event of the year, according to Louis Wilson, chairman of the se• ries.

German Club Holds Second Big Party) At Deutsches Haus Members of the Deutscher Verein "Frohsinn," campus organization for German students, held their second social of the year Wednesday night at the Haus. German folk songs, taught the group by their likeable moderator, Dr. Walter von Kalinowski, were sung by all attending. Refreshments, consisting of beer, pretzels, and sandwiches, were served and all facilities of the Deutsches Haus were placed at the disposal of the club, adding to the merriment of the occasion. The bowling alley proved a general favorite. Plans for a handball tournament to get under way in the near future were discussed prior to the social, Rudoph Horstmann, president, announced. All members are eligible to compete for the handsome trophy to be awarded the winner. Math Expert To Address Convocation Dr. Finkelstein, Calculating Genius, To Appear December 15 Acclaimed as the world's greatest calculating genius, Dr. Salo Finkelstein, Polish mathematician and lecturer, will demonstrate his accomplishments to students and faculty of the university at the last convocation of the semester, Wednesday, December 15. The convocation will mark the end of the enforcement of freshman rules, which have been in effect since the beginning of the present school year, according to the Rev. P. A. Roy, S. J., dean of faculties of the university. The annual donation of funds for the aid of the Community Chest will also be made by the students at this gathering, it was announced. Dr. Finkelstein has been praised by leading educators and psychologists throughout the world for his rapidity, accuracy, and powers of memory in his various experiments with numbers. He is also famed for his ready wit and his psychological explanations of his ability to do ! almost anything with figures. Perhaps the most incredible of all his acomplishments was his feat of calculating the 1932 presidential election returns for the Columbia Broadcasting system as rapidly as the figures came in from all parts of the country. So rapid were his calculations that he outstripped the operators of tabulating machines with plenty of time to spare. A graduate of the University of Warsaw, Dr. Finkelstein has lectured in his native Poland, in France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, and other countries in Europe. In the United States he has spoken at Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Pennsylvania, George Washington, Western Reserve, and many other universities and high schools throughout the country. Pharmacists To Close Display Today seniors and juniors in the college of pharmacy close their three-day display of prescriptions, presented at the convention of the Southern Medical association in the Municipal auditorium. Approximately 30 prescriptions compounded by students of the college were displayed in connection with the Charity hospital display. Arrangements for the demonstration were made by Dean McCloskey with Mr. Louvre, head pharmacist at Charity hospital and president of the Louisiana State Pharmaceutical association, who supervised the Loyola-Charity hospital display. To The Deans: Me, I think it would be a splendid thing if you would exempt seniors from the writing of the second term paper required in the first semester. As most of the work on theses is done during the first semester, this is the logical time to cut down on written work to be done by the fourth-year men. The exemption now granted in the second semester would be much more practical if also applied to the first semester, because of the new time rules in effect this year.

What A Tripod Can Teach You About Online Business
A tripod is defined as a "three-legged stand" in the Webster dictionary. Kick one of those legs out and what happens? It falls.
This isn't exactly rocket science but failing to recognize this can have a devastating effect on your business.
Similarly an online business is held up by three "legs". Knock one of those legs out and you'll be part of the 98% of people who fail at making money online.
Anyone familiar with James Brausch already knows his magical formula to success. In fact, he has it in the header of his blog. Here it is:
traffic + copywriting + products = successful internet business
Now let's go into detail in each one so you understand why each one is so important. The first "leg" we'll go over is the most controversial one.

Hotel on Jackson Avenue: Developer submits site plan for Hampton Inn & Suites
Giffels Webster
Akram Namou of A&M Hospitality and Executive Hospitality, also the owner of the Clarion Hotel on Jackson, submitted a site plan this week to the city of Ann Arbor for a Planned Project at 2910 Jackson Ave., adjacent to the Clarion. Namou owns the 8.8-acre site.
The four-story, 100-room Hampton Inn & Suites would include a workout facility and an indoor pool. There would be 101 parking spaces, walkway access from Jackson Avenue and landscaping features.
Lizzy Alfs | AnnArbor.com
Namou's plans were approved by the city and partially constructed in 2008, but financing issues stalled the project with minimal work completed at the site. The site plan expired in 2012.
At a citizen participation meeting held on Jan. 17, a handful of neighbors attended to provide feedback on the plans.
"This development, also being within the confines of a major freeway and large arterial road, was probably seen as a good fit for the area and may have alleviated many issues that would have brought the citizens out to the meeting for clarification," civil engineer Andy Wakeland of Giffels Webster wrote in a report.
Wakeland told AnnArbor.com that if the hotel is approved, it would be constructed closer to I-94 and the hotel parking would be located in the front of the building.
Comments raised by neighbors included a request for additional green space on the site, and someone asked whether there is a demand for more hotel rooms in the area.
In response, Wakeland said the development team "exhaustively" reviewed the level of demand and determined it was a safe investment for Namou. Washtenaw County hotel occupancy rates were at about 66 percent in 2012, said Charles Skelton of Hospitality Advisors.
Namou also hopes to "forego the usual Walmart-style synthetic stucco walls and use colored brick material" so the hotel fits with the surrounding area, according to Wakeland's report. They are submitting a plan to the Michigan Department of Transportation to get a traffic light installed on Jackson Avenue near the site.
The Planned Project will go before Ann Arbor's Planning Commission in March. If approved, the development team hopes to begin construction this spring and finish the project in summer 2014.

Evening all. Hard to believe they are doing a remake of this film, but that they are. The new version stars Russell Crowe, and Christian Bale, and will be released on 10-5-2007. Have yet to find a link with a trailer for the movie, but will do so eventually. Regards from the Garden State, Steve Basic |

Saw an ad for it last night on TV, had a Clint Eastwood western feel to it from the little I saw. I usually won't go to remake movies however, seldom are they as good or better the only remake I liked better that I can recall is Cape Fear |

As an avid movie goer, I have seen the previews to this movie several times and I must say it looks terrific. I can't wait to see it and was captivated from the very first showing of the trailer. You can now see the previews at IMBd.com. Christian Bale and Russell Crowe look very intense and rugged. They look credible as hardened westerners. I'll write a review as soon as I see the movie. |

Evening all. While skeptical about remakes, especially one on a favorite film of mine, just judging by what I saw in the previews I will go see it. Looks to be very well done, and while Crowe as a person can be a PITA, as an actor, he is very good. Westerns are a must see on the big screen as well, and as a huge fan of the genre, I hope the movie does well at the box office. Hope all are well. Regards from the Garden State, Steve |

Hubby and I saw "3:01 to Yuma" this weekend and I am so glad we went. It is exactly the movie for anyone nostalgic for a good old fashioned "western." Russell Crowe amd Christian Bale are outstanding actors, perfect for their parts. In fact, I'd have to think quite hard to cast anyone else in these roles. I often think of Clive Owen, one of my favorite actors, who could have taken either part, but I am not complaining. Bale and Crowe were exactly right. Crowe plays the chronic train robber/murderer and Bale plays the hard luck farmer desperate to bring Crowe to justice for the reward the Pinkerton agency promises him if he succeeds in getting Crowe to the prison train. While I praise both these actors, I have to add praises for lesser known Ben Foster who plays Charlie Prince, Crowe's psychopathic and ruthless cut throat sidekick who makes a valiant attempt to rescue Crowe from capture. Foster was last seen as an impulsive, violence prone drug addict in "Alpha Dog." He just gave me the willies every time I saw him in "Yuma." If he was in a scene, so was trouble. This movie was just what I had hoped for, but I can't let it get by without a few minor complaints. They have to do with the two main women in the movie. While the men were dirty, sun burned, bedraggled with geasy ungroomed hair and yellowed teeth, Bale's wife and Crowe's lady barkeep romance interest had clean gorgeous groomed hair. Bale's wife had perfect pearly straight teeth, tidy dress, and a smooth peachy complexion. Yeah, right! The action in "Yuma" is brisk and tense. The movie never dragged. I hope it does well at the box office and I suspect at least a few Oscar nominations will come out of it. Last edited on Mon Sep 10th, 2007 01:04 am by CleburneFan |

Young Lobo, the ending did surprise me. If I didn't know better, I would think we were being set up for a sequel. But there is no sequel to this movie is there? Still, the ending does definitely leave plenty of material for a Part Two. |
