McClendon showed good hands and ball skills in a big frame at the event. With his stocky frame, he may get looked at by some teams as an H-Back. What was clear though, was that his size and hands will viewed as assets by schools that will recruit him.

Chilblains or winter toes
Many people get this winter burden. By the interaction of the cold, the skin starts to show in some places red swellings. These are normally harmless, but can be very itchy and painful. Women are more sensitive than men for this condition.The disorder occurs during cold and wet periods, so especially during the winter. Humidity is a major factor, but in combination with the cold air. The cold is better guided in a humid environment. This explains why the disorder in the bitterly cold but dry north practically does not exist.The winter cold makes the blood vessels constrict and provide a less blood flow. Therefore is more likely to show at far ends of the body e.g. the fingers and toes, but feet, legs, nose, eyes, chin and other areas can be affected by the disease. By less circulation, the body gets cold more blood gets supplied to warm up the body and can accumulate at the narrowed blood vessels. This results in tissue damage in the blood vessels which causes red spots and swelling. Not only the cold and humidity causes these problems even some medicines like beta blockers (for high blood pressure) may boost the occurrence.
The condition is thus actually creating (blue)red swellings, which are itchy and can be very painful. Normally, these are harmless and disappear after a few weeks, but sometimes one can experience blisters, which burst and can turn into ulcers (if not treated). Those who suffer from it once are often confronted with it for the following years, except when taking all appropriate precautions.Because most homes and workplaces currently are well heated during the winter the disease becomes less frequent. This condition affects younger people more than the elderly, but older people are facing worse (itching and pain) symptoms.
Prevention and Treatment
Chilblains you can prevent by protecting your hands adequately against cold (warm clothing, shoes and gloves). However you may not, wear too tight gloves or shoes, as they may be the cause of the disease (poor circulation). If it is already bothering you, particular salves maybe some relief, but there is still no real effective remedy. Massage can also relieve pain and itching, but you should proceed with caution because the skin is already very sensitive. Scratching is obviously out of the question and can cause sores. Also alternating between warm and cold water can be beneficial because it stimulates the blood circulation.
If the symptoms are too painful, or the disease spreads to other limbs or hands and feet or if you experience any without being exposed to the cold, it is best to consult a doctor who can prescribe painkillers or other medication.
For further prevention you might consider

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and crotchety–
best preacher that ever was,

to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light–
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day

KS3 - Drawing Climate Graphs
Getting students to understand climate graphs, let alone draw them is a tough challenge. One bar graph can be difficult enough, but to throw in a line graph and another vertical axis and we are in trouble. To help students along, I have developed a step by step powerpoint to help [see screenshots below]
The powerpoint is focussed around the climate of Gloucester, and working through it, step by step allows students to build up an accurate climate graph with relative ease. There is then a 'living graph' exercise (idea taken from the Thinking through Geography, by David Leat) to test students undertstanding of the data. This activity can be differentiated by giving lower ability students a prepared copy of the axis, and then then have to display the data, and label axis.
If you would like a copy, or even a copy that can be amended to suit your local area, please contact me on my twitter page @AndyWilliams83 and I will be more than happy to share the resource - on the condition that my name remains on the file.

arrived at hotel, very busy event in progress but front desk was very attentive considering. had noisy neighbor and staff moved us with no argument when I called to front desk one downside was front desk made reservation at wrong restaurant so was hungry and cranky when we returned to hotel, fortunately hotel has a great restaurant up top with great view of Oslo. We never had to leave our hotel for a great meal."
The hotel puts out an outstanding breakfast! The only negative aspect of our stay was that we were called late at night to change rooms because of a "technical problem". We had just taken showers, so I am assuming a leak in the plumbing. Sometimes problems like that cannot be predicted. Everything else was perfectly fine."
We enjoyed the hotel. It was a central location. We were able to walk everywhere (never used a cab). The staff was super helpful (even let us store our bags for 2 nights when we day an overnight excursion. Good breakfast options."
Great location, just at the side of Bergen main train station. Close walk to the main attractions. Hotel is new, with excellent accommodations. But, above all, the breakfast is not to be missed, great selection. Best hotel of our recent trip across Norway."
Very conveniently situated adjacent to the airport bus stop. Easy walking distance to town centre. Plenty of good restaurants nearby. Rooms on small side but clean and comfortable. Good wifi signal. Huge breakfast selection is unbeatable."
Very good stay. Comfortable but pricey.. but that Bergen."
Lovely old hotel with modern conveniences close to the action"
Perfect location, wish we had been given a street map, which would have been useful. Our room was spacious, with very comfortable beds. Breakfast was excellent."
Helpfulness of staff outstanding, spacious & well-equipped bathroom- shower caps would have been useful,.Very comfy bed, iron & ironing board in room was essential for purpose of our stay - included . Lovely bathrobes & slipper included. Only downside , Norway is expensive so be prepared- but we did know that before we went"
A nice place to stay for the weekend in Tromso where I'd be happy to stay again. Best thing was the breakfasts. Biggest dissapointment was that the sauna is out of action for a while due to refurbishment. This was a key reason I chose this hotel but not likely to affect many people. You can just hear the ships from the dockside rooms, but the views and general quality of the place definately make up for that. Overall good experience and would recommend."

John Brennan, deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism, is President Obama's choice to lead the CIA. (White House photo)
President Barack Obama has nominated his chief counterterrorism adviser, John Brennan, as the new director of the Central Intelligence Agency, reports CNN.
Brennan, whose official title is deputy national security adviser for homeland security and counterterrorism, has served at the spy agency for 25 years. If the Senate confirms the nominee, Brennan will replace Gen. David Petraeus, who stepped down Nov. 9, 2012 after admitting an extramarital affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell.
After joining the CIA in 1980, Brennan held various roles at the agency, including Near East and South Asia analyst, chief of staff and first director of the National Counterterrorism Center. He also served as intelligence briefer for President Bill Clinton. In 2009, Brennan was named assistant to the president for counterterrorism and homeland security.
In 2005, Brennan left government and spent three years in private industry, serving as president and CEO of The Analysis Corporation, now named Sotera Defense, a security technology company. He also chaired the Intelligence and National Security Alliance.
Along with news of Brennan's new role, Politico reported Jan. 7 that Obama will also announce his nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.) as the next defense secretary, replacing Leon Panetta who took office July 1, 2011.

Kevin Hogan was among the elite red-shirted freshman quarterbacks this season. Hogan was named the starting quarterback after the Colorado game, in which he replaced Josh Nunes to lead Stanford over Colorado. He quickly made an impact as the starting quarterback and ultimately ended the season 5-0 as a starter.
His first four games as a starter were all against ranked opponents. He first led the Cardinals over No. 13 Oregon State, followed by an upset win against No.1 Oregon. Then he led Stanford to two consecutive wins over No. 15 UCLA to win in the Pac-12 Championship game (first Pac-12 championship since 1999). This win enabled Stanford to compete in the Rose Bowl where they defeated Wisconsin (first Rose Bowl win since 1972).
In the 6 game Hogan played (five starts), he completed 71.7% of his passes for 1,096 yards, nine touchdowns and three interceptions. He was also the teams 2nd leading rusher with 263 yards and two touchdowns. Hogan received the Pac-12 Championship Game MVP and the Pac-12 Honorable mention.
There is now talk about Kevin Hogan having the potential and talent to lead Stanford to a national title next year. The question now is if Hogan can synchronize all the pieces around him to exceed next year and bring Stanford back on top.
Kevin Hogan can and will be better in the 2013 season if the wide receivers and running backs step up to the challenge to replace the those who left from last season.

Upright vacuum cleaners the most popular type of vacuum cleaner in the United States.
Uprights are excellent choices for homes that feature significant wall-to-wall carpeting. In recent years, many features have been added to uprights that make them better and more versatile at cleaning hard floor surfaces as well as above-floor cleaning (i.e. drapes, stairs).
- Uprights are available with a variety of tool configurations -- from no tools to a complete set of on-board tools. On-board tools may eliminate the need to own a separate vacuum for above floor cleaning.
- Some uprights have a feature which enables you to turn off the brush roll. This is beneficial when using attachments or tools for above-floor cleaning. This feature also allows the upright to clean hardwood floors. With the brush roll turned off, dirt and debris are not scattered.
- An upright is easier to use than a canister vacuum, but is not as light.
- Uprights tend to be easier to store than canisters.
- Uprights are available in both bagged and bagless models and offer several filtration options from standard filtration to excellent filtration (electrostatic or HEPA type).

The Tagar culture (Russian: Тагарская культура) was a Bronze Age archeological culture which flourished between the 7th and 3rd centuries BC in South Siberia (Republic of Khakassia, southern part of Krasnoyarsk Territory, eastern part of Kemerovo Province). The culture was named after an island in the Yenisey River opposite Minusinsk. The civilization was one of the largest centres of bronze-smelting in ancient Eurasia.
The Tagar tribes are thought to have been Caucasoids of the Scythian circle.[1] They lived in timber dwellings heated by clay ovens and large hearths. Some settlements were surrounded by fortifications. They made a living by raising livestock, predominantly large horned livestock and horses, goats and sheep. Harvest was collected with bronze sickles and reaping knives.[2] Their artifacts were heavily influenced by Scythian art from Pazyryk. Perhaps the most striking feature of the culture are huge royal kurgans fenced by stone plaques, with four vertical stelae marking the corners. The Tagar culture is preceded by the Karasuk culture and succeeded by the Tashtyk culture.
Ancient DNA[edit]
Ancient DNA extracted from the remains of six males who dated back to the Tagar culture were determined to be of Y-chromosome haplogroup R1a. Extracted mtDNA from two female remains from this cultural horizon revealed they possessed the T3 and H lineages. The study determined that the majority of the individuals had light hair and blue or green eyes.[3]

40% of Android phones not returned as reported.
Well I guess it was to much to be true that Android had a 40 percent return rate. I wonder where they go those statistics.

My experience has been limited when it comes to Android, but I can guarantee that the UI is no where near as smooth as an iPhone. The few times I have used one I have always come away feeling that the OS was just cobbled together from the left overs of a bad Linux distro. This article would seem to confirm my issues with Android. I'm not saying that I will never ditch my iPhone for a handset that runs Android. What I am saying is that Google needs to work on its interface if it ever wants the iPhone to be completely defeated!

I first saw her as she stood
in front of the crumbling silhouette of
an abandoned skyscraper;
We scavenged together
for a while, fighting office workers
who had begun to form tribes;
In the summer nights, we
camped out under the stars
in a bombed-out church;
Often we imagined what our
lives would have been, if
humanity had not fallen.
Maybe we would have a
nice house, a family, and
a little dog scampering about.
One night, we were trying to
find shelter, and she gashed
her leg on a rusty nail.
To our horror, the wound became
infected. She slipped away,
hour by hour.
I buried her in the green, green
lawn at the bombed-out church
where we first kissed.

Cheraw State Park
[ 7/10 ]
First time we stayed at this park. It is a small park, sites are pretty good. Campground host was friendly and helpful. Not much to do at the campground. A few pet owners think that they own the place. A camper went out in a canoe and was gone for one and a half hours. Their dog barked for the whole time.
Jackson Springs, North Carolina
Sycamore Lodge
[ 1/10 ]
We have camped at Sycamore Lodge 3 times before this trip. When we got set up and turned on our AC after running a while it quit. After checking out the camper we tried again and the AC ran for awhile and quit again. We then got a staff member to check the electrical outlet and come to find out we only had 107 volts and that was not on the AC itself it was at a receptical. Most RV AC's are designed to run on 120 volts. We were then told that the park is at the end of the line for electricity from the power company. Needless to say our fan motor burned up and may have damaged the compressor. So if you are planning to go make sure that they have enough power so that you do not burn up your AC unit up. Also the campers next to us also had some problems with their breaker tripping. I wished that we could have been so lucky. We had no other choice, but to stay the night. But we did leave the next morning. I don't feel that the staff cared the we had burned our AC up they didn't even offer us a fan for the night and it was 91 degrees in our camper.

It's quite rare for a screenwriter to become something of a brand name, particularly with fewer than half a dozen produced credits, and, while William Monahan may not mean a huge amount to the general public, his is a name that tends to make film geeks prick up their ears. In the decade since he worked on the aborted project "Tripoli" with Ridley Scott, Monahan's become one of the most in-demand writers around. Scott may have botched his excellent crusades script "Kingdom of Heaven" by casting Orlando Bloom in the lead, but the writer can't have minded too much, as only a year later he was picking up an Academy Award for his work on Martin Sc...Read More »

'My Motorcycle Was a Lie'
Jul 14, 2014 | Chris Heller
Longing for an authentic life, filmmaker Douglas Gautraud bought himself a motorcycle. As he explains in this heartfelt short, though, memories of his late grandfathers encouraged him to reconsider his vintage bike. "I was concerned with having something," he says. "They were concerned with giving something."Courtesy of Douglas Gautraud

The Pew-MacArthur Results First Initiative, a project of The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, works with states to implement an innovative cost-benefit analysis approach that helps them invest in policies and programs that are proven to work.
Why Cost-Benefit Analysis Matters
In the current fiscal environment, most states face tough budget choices and lack the resources to support traditional levels of public services. Increasingly, policy makers seek programs and policies that yield the greatest benefits in the most cost-effective way. Rigorous analysis of available research can help state leaders:
- Systematically identify which programs work and which do not;
- Calculate potential returns on investment of funding alternative programs;
- Rank programs based on their projected benefits, costs, and investment risks;
- Identify ineffective programs that could be targeted for cuts or elimination; and
- Predict the impact of different policy options.
What Policy Makers Say about Cost-Benefit Analysis
Republican and Democratic leaders in Washington State report that this new approach, developed by the Washington State Institute for Public Policy, has helped produce bipartisan policies that improved results while saving more than a billion dollars.
"I came from the business sector where we relied on evidence on what was a good investment. In the legislature, I realized we needed to do the same thing. Otherwise, you make decisions based on opinions and anecdotes or one person's favorite study that may be the exception." —Skip Priest (R), former ranking Republican, Washington State House Committee on Education
"We have research showing ways to lower the crime rate and save money by investing in preventing crime in the first place. It has allowed us to consider policies that are the most effective even if they don't sound like a sound bite." —Senator Jim Hargrove (D), chair, Washington State Senate Committee on Human Services and Corrections
How We Conduct Our Work
We offer tools to states that more accurately assess the true costs and benefits of public programs. This allows policymakers to identify options that yield the greatest return on investment for taxpayers.
We also help states build a climate for decision-making based on research and evidence. This allows states to eliminate ineffective programs and shift resources to those that generate better outcomes for their citizens.

West Indies cricket continues at pace on a path to implosion. The WICB Board latest statement reads as follows – WICB STATEMENT FOLLOWING SEVEN HOUR MEETING. The decision by the WICB to go the route of a press statement in lieu of a press conference is indicative of the 'peer down the nose' approach to dealing with its publics through the years. Coincidentally, the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) elected to do the same; communicate its mismanagement of the recruitment of a fraud as CEO of the BCA – see The Sagicor Thieves and the BCA Fraudster – Ruel Ward and Jefferson Miller Create a WTF Moment. In both cases the two bodies probably acted under the best advice of a public relations company and not the public.
Frankly it is boring listening to leading regional cricket commentators spouting ignorance by playing the blame game for the recent muck up in West Indies cricket. It was inevitable that a dysfunctional management and operating structure would have led the region to where it finds itself currently as it contemplates whither West Indies cricket.
Instead of focussing on who did and should have done what, BU has to accept that the abandonment of the tour of India confirms a continuing the lack of leadership in the entity formerly known as the West Indies Cricket Board of Control (WICBC). An entity which lacks the capacity to resolve issues that require critical thinking. A routine requirement by any successful organization.

Largemouth bass
Central Valley Aqua Farm is a big producer of Largemouth bass. We start out in the spring when the water temperature starts to rise by putting spawning trays into the ponds. The pair of largemouth bass will spawn and the trays would be taken out for incubation. The hatchling frys would hatch in about a week and they will start to swim, and start to take feed shortly thereafter. See the fry picture.
When the frys reached 3/4 to an inch is when they will be ready for pellet training. The batch of fingerlings will be transfered into cemented raceways to graduate into artificial feed. During this process, there will be many fingerlings that could not convert and a big mortality rate as a result. However, the ones that does survival will be grown out into adult fish and sold to our fish brokers.
Largemouth bass 2-3" fingerlings
The largemouth bass is one of the most popular game and sport fish in the United States. Largemouth bass is considered the trophy fish in most California ponds and lakes, and is usually the top predator. Many of the record sized bass were taken from privately owned ponds and lakes.
Young bass grow rapidly when food is plentiful. Usually a 2"- 4" bass will reach 6"- 8" the first year, 10"- 12" the second year and will be 12"- 14" or more after three years. Largemouth bass usually live 6 - 10 years but some will live as long as 15 years. In California, largemouth bass usually reach spawning size in their second year at 9"- 12". Spawning usually begins in March or Apirl when water temperatures are from 60 - 72 degrees. A second spawn can occur in late June to July. A sudden drop in water temperature of only 10 - 12 degrees is sufficient to kill the eggs or newly hatched fry. They are considered risky fish to cultivate at an early age.
Largemouth bass feed on a variety of animal life. Since bass are so active, the feed to flesh conversion is approximately 6 - 8 pounds of consumed food for one pound of flesh gain. A variety of sizes of largemouth bass are normally available in the Spring (March - May) and in the fall (Sept. - Nov.). Although, we sell most of our bass to the live Asian markets, a portion of our largemouth bass that were trained to eat commercial fish food for accelerated growth and easy feeding are sold for pond stocking. They make good fish to stock recreational ponds for fishing because they will readily take moving bait as well as artificial feed.

Freehold, NJ
Noted for hosting horse races as early as early as the year 1853, Freehold Raceway is a half-mile racetrack that is distinguished with the honor of being the oldest racetrack in operation in the entire United States. Freehold Raceway is open seven days a week year-round and is still actively used today. Freehold Raceway is currently the yearly host for the Cane Pace, an annual harness horse race that dates back to 1955. This iconic track is also a Freehold landmark that reflects the consistent continuity of tradition and the preservation of history found in the historic town of Freehold.
Constructed in 1903 with a large grant made by industrialist Andrew Carnegie, Freehold Public Library is a free public library that is one of the remaining Carnegie funded libraries in the state. The Freehold Public Library has been serving the Freehold and regional area since 1916 and now reaches out to service a population of over 11,000 residents with approximately 26,000 volumes of books, magazines, research materials, and electronic resources. The Freehold Public Library is a center for kids, teens, families, and communities to come together in a public space to learn, interact, and thrive.
Also known by locals as the Covenhoven House, the Hankinson-Moreau-Covenhoven House is a historic landmark architecturally designed and built in 1752 by William and Elizabeth Covenhoven. The house was also occupied by General Henry Clinton as his headquarters before the Battle of Monmouth, making the Covenhoven house significant and weighty in historical importance in the Freehold area. Thus, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and has since served as a popular tourist spot. The house is made open year-round to the public as a historic house museum by the Monmouth County Historical Association.

Before, loans can only be acquired through banks and government agencies. Now the times have changed, and getting a loan can easily be performed within a few clicks. And the best thing is that you can get a loan despite bad credit standing.
The evolution of lending and borrowing money has seen the rise of a new group of people – people with bad credit history. Whilst banks and government agencies would be hesitant to provide loans to this group, numerous lending companies have taken the risk of providing bad credit loans.
Bad Credit Loans – Quick Fixes to Emergency Cash Problems
Bad credit loans have opened a viable option of getting the much-needed cash for emergency situations. Does your restaurant's microwave need a replacement? Is it about time to pay your child's college tuition? Do you need to get your car fixed? Does your business need additional capital before it launches? Do you need to get a medical procedure within a week?
These are some of the situations wherein bad credit loans come into play. When life takes you by surprise and you are completely unprepared, bad credit loans can help you tide over until you have the cash to let you get by.
Why Bad Credit Loans is Easier to Acquire than Traditional Lending
Banks have always been the official go-to venue when we're trying to acquire a loan. However, banks are by nature meticulous in granting a loan. The application process can be long and sometimes, the application gets rejected.
That is because they look at your capacity to pay and credit standing before they decide if they can grant you the loan or not, on top of several paper works and documents that need to be submitted.
Bad credit loans, on the other hand, can be acquired online without waiting for too long. Lending companies have created a branch that deals exclusively with people with bad credit score and help them acquire the loan they need at the most reasonable payment rate.
Many people will find that short-term unsecured loans generally have higher interest rates than secured ones, but there's a very good reason. These loans are granted based on good faith that borrowers will pay, and the lenders are taking a great risk. The shorter the term you choose to pay for the loan, the lower the interest you will pay.
What's in it for lenders, if that's the case?
Real lenders have the intention of helping you get out of money problems. The amount of money that can be loaned may be relatively smaller than what you can possibly get if you loan from a bank, but short-term unsecured loans are designed to fix cash emergencies, not long term cash problems. They are also generally designed to be paid the next payday, so make sure you loan an amount that you have the capacity to pay.
Now, if you try to search online for lending companies offering bad credit loans, you will find that most of them would require you to fill out a form. The company will then email you with their quote. If you find their rates reasonable, you will then receive the loaned amount into your account. Each payday, the company deducts you with the agreed amount from that same account until you have paid the loan in full.
Bad credit loans are really that convenient and easy to acquire, and as long as you can operate the computer, navigate the internet and understand their policies, there's really no reason why you can get a loan now.

So, now the question is....King or Icon Coilovers.
Damn, this is getting too expensive...
Progressive vs digressive
"For example, when the valves open or close, depending on the shock and valving design, the rate at which the damping becomes softer or stiffer per unit of shock velocity increase depends on if the valving is linear, progressive, or digressive. As the name suggests, in linear valving the rate at which the damping changes with the velocity of the shock is constant. If the valving is progressive, the rate of change of stiffness increases as velocity increases; and if the valving is digressive, the rate of change of damping gets less as the shocks velocity increases."

Dez Bryant and Justin Blackmon have a lot in common. Not only do they consider each other close friends, they're former teammates at Oklahoma State University. They also both have gotten into their fair share of trouble early on in their NFL careers. Dez Bryant's trouble has mostly been financial with lenders though there was a brief period when a North Dallas mall banned Dez Bryant from entering because he got into it with a security officer.
The younger Justin Blackmon has just gotten his second DUI, and an aggravated DUI at that and his rookie season hasn't even started yet. That makes Dez Bryant's troubles look fairly innocent, but Bryant is standing by Blackmon and showing his support for his friend.
"He is a great guy," Bryant said. "If you knew him, you'd be like, 'I can't believe it.' At the same time, I just feel like it's just a lesson he's going to have to learn.
"I feel like he's going to get through it. I know he is, just because of the type of guy he is. I wish the best for him. I know he's going to come through and he's going to bounce back and do what he has to do."
Dez Bryant was expected to go in the Top 10 like Justin Blackmon did a few months ago but he dropped to late in the first round due to character concerns. He's avoided any criminal trouble and has a clear criminal record but has admitted that managing his money was "overwhelming" at times and the toughest part of the transition from college to the pros.
"Basically, it's decision making and what you do," he said. "Some guys make the right decisions, some guys make the wrong decisions. When you make a wrong decision, it's your choice if you want to learn from it or not."
Dez Bryant has learned the hard way and is trying to give Blackmon an opportunity to learn from his mistakes as well as Blackmon's own mistakes before it really becomes a hinderance to his NFL career. This may just be a sign that Bryant is maturing and growing up and his past behavioral problems are behind him.

By Herself (Poets, Penguin)by Debora Greger
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
An artful, compelling new collection from "a special poet in every sense" (Poetry)
The poems in Debora Greger's new book journey from Florida to England to Venice, finding in the byways and accidents of travel the ghostly presences that mark the poet's passage from youth half-forgotten to the edge of old age: the younger self that, like some heroine in Henry James, she catches glimpses of and barely recognizes; the long-dead poets unable to sleep, with things still on their mind. The elegies threaded through this mature, startling book recognize life moving toward the shadows—these are poems of old responsibilities and new virtues, looking back as a way of looking forward.
God has retired to Florida, like everyone else. He can't sleep. He watches TV. In the long poem that opens Debora Greger's sixth book, God, he has retreated to the swamps, where, in the lush particulars of the subtropics, a singular moral world is discovered. Wherever Greger is, she has a traveler's eye; her poetry finds the past beneath the present-where the "Eden of Florida," as the last poem ironically calls it, is an Eden with alligators. This is the work of a powerful, meditative poet, whose God is deceptively quiet, perfectly timed, and seriously amused.
In her seventh book of poetry, Debora Greger walks out of art history class and into Europe, even to the edge of Asia. A night wedding in Venice, an encounter with a girl on an aqueduct in Istanbul, a walk into the emptiness of the Florida prairie, standing before a Rembrant or a tomb in Ravenna?these portraits of travel reveal a poet never at home even when home. Debora Greger?s poems love the accident of discovery; she is a poet whose intimacies are expressed in whispers, whose secrets come in sidelong glances.
About the Author
Debora Greger is a poet and professor who has won grants and awards from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Guggenheim foundation. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review, The New Yorker, and Paris Review.

The annual event is being held on Sunday 15th December and organised by The Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia. Over the last 7 years more than £215,000 has been raised for local charities with last year alone raising a record breaking £63,162.
Chris Illsley, Vice President of The Rotary Club of Lincoln Colonia & Event Organiser of the 2013 Danwood Lincoln Santa Fun Run & Walk would like to beat this with your help!
Chris said;
"Please would you be kind enough to donate £250 in the knowledge that every penny will go directly to charity and your contribution will make a huge difference to many peoples' lives? There is no need to send any money now, in December would be fine.
What I will do as a 'Thank You' in return is the following:
· Ensure that your company logo is printed on 10,000 entry forms
· That you will receive 5 FREE entries (including Santa Suits) into this year's event
· That your company logo appears on a special 'Thank You' banner at the event launch in September
· That your company logo will appear in our weekly 'Elf & Fitness' e-commerce newsletters (over 20 sent out last year pre and post event)
· That your company logo appears on a special 'Thank You' banner at the Santa Run in December
I hope you can help me.
Thanking you in anticipation

Insider knowledge: BenRiach 30 Year Old whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be BenRiach 30 Year Old whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: Oaky, vanilla, thick barley. Nuttiness.
Palate: Sherry and honey fill the mouth with vibrant depth. Pastry and sweetness, dried yoghurt and stem ginger provide ample means for mastication.
Finish: Malty, sherried notes, toffee with a resilient drying oak.
The most perfect example that Sherry and Bourbon Casks can coexist in one bottling without lacking complexity. It unifies the best attributes of both kinds of wood. Excellent relation between quality and price.......

hello,i have recently open an account to voip.ms with a did number in montrealbut: i can make calls but when someone call me, the call do not go to my phone (i am using sipdroid on wifi at home on my N1)i have forwarder ports 5060 ant 10 000 to 20 000 on my router and nothing have changedif anybody can help me to make everything working properly , i could be very happyps: sorry for my very poor english im am french speaking usually
All SIP connections I tried don't work tonight, using settings that used to work...Try again tomorrow I guess...
Hi Blakenet, are you still having problems?If so please let us know what happens when someone calls you. Do they get a busy signal, your voicemail, or something else?I can give you some general advice:- Unforward the ports in your router; that is typically not necessary.- Be sure that Sipdroid is registered to the same PoP that your DID is set for. Since you live in Montreal, this will probably be something like montreal.voip.ms.- Check the Customer Portal to see if your device appears to be registered. BingoRingo , if you'd like to provide more details about your issue, we would be happy to help.m.--Recommended ATA Settings | e164 - make your DID accessible via SIPBroker!
Sipdroid gives me "Registration Failed (401 Unauthorized)"I used the settings as per voip.ms' wiki

Dylan was accepted to Swansea Metropolitan University! I am so proud of him and eagerly anticipate our transfer to Swansea! I CANNOT WAIT!! More shops, more restaurants, more "stuff" to do, more diversity, more job opportunities! YAY!
Dylan has found some part time work at a new pizza joint down on the marina but they have their heads so far up their asses that I'm afraid they'll be going belly up pretty soon. Yesterday, I received yet another "thanks but no thanks" email in response to a job application I submitted earlier in the week. It's so ridiculously frustrating. I'm a 28 year old, well spoken, intelligent woman with 10 years of professional work experience. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be passed over for a 16 hour a week retail job. Seriously. What a blow to the ego :(
Relations with the in-laws, namely my MIL, are becoming increasingly strained. I feel bad for Dylan because he's essentially stuck in the middle but I'm not the one that started it all. Being told to your face that you're loved and all and then finding out that incredibly hateful things have been said behind your back leads one to put up a wall. I will remain polite and cordial because my parents raised me with manners but I will not go out of my way to maintain any sort of "friendship". I wasn't born yesterday and am completely capable of identifying insincerity. I had a feeling all along that this was happening and was vocal about it but now my suspicions are confirmed. Whatever. Did I already say how much I can't WAIT to move to Swansea? lol
My mom is considering going back on Tysabri even though she has a genetic predisposition to possible brain infection. I think she should give pot smoking a shot before delving into possibly DYING but she refuses. Poo on that. I will support her in any decision she makes.
What else? Oh yeah, my car died. I have to replace the battery and then some fuel injection switch or something? I don't know. The guy that came out to jump it yesterday wrote everything down. Yay :-/
I drove Emma home last night. All the way from Milford to Pembroke! It was a 30 minute round trip drive. It was pitch black and foggy with wet roads, lots of roundabouts AND a toll bridge! So proud of myself.
Sophie stood on Dylan's lap top the other day and completely shattered the screen. We ordered a new screen via ebay and today I replaced it all on my own! Again, so proud of myself! Thank god for video tutorials on youtube! They're not JUST for makeup application! lol
I guess that's all for now…
I gave up so much.
So Christmas totally wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. In fact…it wasn't bad at all! I didn't shed a single tear. I think because Christmas is celebrated here, I didn't feel so alienated. Thanksgiving was tough because Dylan and I were the only ones that celebrated it. Anyway, it was great. We got our very first tree as a married couple and I discovered that trees here are WEIRD and almost completely naked up top. I loved our tree though. Unfortunately, we didn't have a topper for it but that's okay. I just couldn't find one I liked this year. Better luck next year!
My mom and dad sent us a massive box of gifts. We had to pay tax on the box before it could be delivered. It was total bullshit. £70!! It was worth the hassle though…it was so so nice having gifts to open from my family. My mom sent Sophie some toys and a sweater. She LOVED her sweater and would sit eagerly every morning waiting for me to put it on her and she was also madly in love with her gingerbread man!
We bought a 15 pound prime rib for only £17. Pretty impressive! My very first purchase from an actual butcher! I think that's worth mentioning in this ol' blog, lol. All in all, it was a FABULOUS Christmas :)
Let's see…what else what else? Sophie is now 6 months old and as of January 11, she is no longer capable of having puppies! Yay! I booked her in for her spaying as fast as I could once she hit 6 months. She was soooooooo loopy and totally out of it when we brought her home. Love this little girl so much!
Dylan's last day of work is this Thursday, the 19th. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit worried about finances but I fully trust that everything will work out. I am hopeful that he will land another job shortly. As long as I can get a job soon and start bringing in decent money we'll be fine. Dylan is also hoping to go back to school in September! Exciting stuff!
Oh…and I got a car! Yay! Hopefully a job will be right around the corner :)
Dear Photograph,
Remember when you had to come home when the street light came on? Where are the good old days when the neighborhood was full of kids outside playing tag, hide 'n seek and wiffle ball? Those were kick the can fun times!
So I made it through my first Thanksgiving without my family. It sucked. I cried a few times and remained in a weird shitty mood for pretty much the entire day. When we went to bed I waited til I heard Dylan's little snores and then I allowed myself to break down. I cried myself to sleep and my dreams were full of awful. Woke up this morning and my first thought was "Well, that sucked but at least next year things will be back to normal back home…" and then I realized that things will never be back to what I deem normal, I'll just have to make a new kind of normal and I will most likely never move back to the USA.
Perhaps it's the holiday season and the fact that it's getting cold and shitty here but…I really want to go home. I know it's not feasible and I made my bed and now I must lie in it but Jesus Christ…it keeps getting harder and harder. I miss my mom. I miss my dad. I miss my baby brother. I miss Bonnie. I still cry when I think about how I gave up Pitty so I could move here. I miss my old life. The only GOOD things about my life now are Dylan and Sophie. They are the only bits that keep a smile on my face. I would follow Dylan to the ends of the earth, but sometimes I really wish he had been from fucking Muskogee or something. Ugh. I miss really little things that I totally took for granted like…driving to the store. Shit, like driving in general.
I can't land a goddamn job. I guess I'll have to completely lower myself and try for something in retail. I'm almost 29 years old with nearly 10 years of professional work experience. I LOVE that I have to lower myself to retail and not only retail but minimum wage. Fucking awesome. So aside from disliking where I live, I will also most likely dislike where I work and I don't have any friends to bitch to about anything. What was I thinking when I thought my friends back home would actually give a flying fuck about me when I moved? My Tulsa friends never visited when I lived in OKC and my OKC friends never visited when I lived in Tulsa so what made me think that ANY of them would pick up a goddamn phone and call me in a different country? I haven't heard from my friends in nearly 4 months. Makes me feel great. I wish I could tell them all to go pound sand.
So apparently people that put their Christmas decorations up in November and leave them up past January 5th are low-class. This is the type of bullshit snobbery I have to put up with here. I put an autumnal wreath up in October and have kept it up throughout this month of November. My MIL told me that apparently some client of her husband's passed our house the other day and mistook it for a Christmas wreath and made some snide comment about how "It's bloody early for that". She laughed about it and I don't know WHY she felt the need to tell me. It felt like a really shitty jab. "Oooo, let me point out to you that people think you're low-class".
In the US we take great pride in the outward appearance of our homes. Garden flags, potted plants, trees, wreaths on the door, etc. ALL YEAR. The houses here fit in with the weather - dreary and depressing. GOD FORBID I hang up a fucking wreath to add some goddamn color to my home. GOD FORBID I try to grasp at ANYTHING that makes me feel like I'm not QUITE so far away. So what do I do? Fit into what is considered "acceptable" here? I don't know. When I came downstairs this morning I noticed that our wreath had blown off the door because it was so windy last night. I didn't even bother going out to find it. Fuck it.
Why tell someone something if you know it's going to make them uncomfortable? Why be so catty? Why laugh along with the person instead of correcting them? ie. "Actually, that's my son and daughter-in-law's home and it's not a Christmas wreath thankyouverymuch".
I miss nice things. I miss pretty homes. I miss people smiling when they pass on the street. I miss my parents. I miss being surrounded by down to earth individuals and not ones obsessed with putting on airs.
There is so much I could say about people but I don't because I was raised with manners and because even if I don't particularly like someone, I go out of my way to NOT make them uncomfortable ESPECIALLY if they're "family".
I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells.
I wish my mom was here.
Quick recap of the past few months:
I flew back to the US for my brother's wedding in October. It was so great being around my family again. I've missed my mom and little brother so freaking much since moving to Wales. When my dad dropped me off at the airport I sobbed from the check in counter all the way to the tarmac. After an hour or so on the plane, my tears subsided. That was when I realized moving to Wales was the right thing to do. Dylan is my world and I can't live without him. I was absolutely heartbroken leaving MA but whenever I would have to say goodbye to Dylan in the past, I would be completely devastated for days and weeks at a time. Crying at the drop of a hat. Not feeling at all complete or happy until I was back with him again. The pain I felt leaving my family was horrible but nowhere near as debilitating as the pain I felt when being separated from Dylan.
This is Sophie. I briefly mentioned her in my last blog post. I love her. She is a bitch and a half to housebreak, though. I pretty much just leave the back door open at all times. She knows that outside is the place to potty but she doesn't understand that if the door is closed, she needs to bark/alert me in some way instead of just popping a squat in the living room. She helps me do laundry by running upstairs and bringing all the dirty socks down one at a time. She is almost 19 weeks old now and she is fucking awesome.
This was our first pumpkin. He lasted about 2 days before he became completely covered in mold. Gross. I threw him away a whopping 48 hours or so after carving him. The most expensive pumpkin I've ever bought (and keep in mind he was only about the size of a damn bowling ball) and he didn't even make it to Halloween. Thanksgiving is this week. I'm cooking for Dylan and myself. My first Thanksgiving away from home! It's kind of exciting but cooking at my parents' house is so much better…not only because my family is there but because my parents have every kitchen gadget invented. Dylan and I…don't. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas, though. It will definitely be hard not spending them with my family but I have a new little family now. Me, Dylan and Soph. I wouldn't trade them for the world!
I need to seriously buckle down and lose some weight. We are thinking of possibly going to The Canary Islands for a one week holiday around February. I must lose a few pounds before then! Sitting on white sand and looking out at blue water is definitely something to look forward to when the hustle and bustle of the holidays are over. We shall see!
I don't have the drive or desire to form actual paragraphs. So I'm just going to make a list.
1. It's nice finally being able to be with Dylan full time.
2. The UK is really expensive.
3. There are massive spiders here but apparently no one gives a shit because "they can't hurt you". I call bullshit.
4. It's cold.
5. I miss driving. A lot. I feel like I have absolutely no freedom whatsoever.
6. I felt okay about moving here because I had what I thought was a stable base of friends already built in, therefore making my transition less horrible. Well, everyone is fucking leaving. Cicely & Ash are off to Bristol and Lee & Mel are off to Switzerland. Fuck my life. I'm beginning to feel more alone now than I ever have before.
7. I really miss my mom. She's having even more medical issues as of late and it makes me feel like such shit for being so far away. Maybe I didn't think this through well enough. I moved to another country without really thinking about the repercussions of leaving a sick mom on her own. I don't know if I'll ever forgive myself. I find myself dwelling on really dark shit like what it's going to be like when she dies and I won't be there until it's too late. God willing that won't be for quite some time.
8. I miss coupons and not spending retarded amounts of money at the grocery store.
9. I love being able to see the ocean whenever I want - so long as my husband drives me. Back to #5 - I really miss driving.
10. We got a puppy last week. She's a Cocker Spaniel and she's beautiful and her name is Sophie. She can't go out in public until her next round of vaccinations (September 24 cannot come soon enough) so I've been stuck at home 24/7 for the past week. It's really wearing thin.
11. I still don't feel like this house is my home.
12. It's very overwhelming and literally takes my breath away when I allow myself to think about exactly how far away I am from Oklahoma and how I will never live with my parents again and how I will never lay in the living room for hours with Matt watching TV and how I will never…everything. There are so many "I will nevers". It's really depressing.
13. I count down the minutes to 11am Monday thru Friday which is usually when Tina gets online. By that time it's 6am in her neck of the woods. I live for our conversations. We've been friends for nearly 15 years and haven't seen eachother for 10…but I still consider her one of my closest friends, if not THE closest…especially at this time. I don't know what I'd do without her.
14. NONE of my friends back home have attempted to contact me since moving. To that I say "FUCK ALL OF YOU". Seriously. Fuck. Yourselves.
15. I cry when no one else is around. A lot.
16. I remain optimistic.
All the worry and anxiety and sleepless nights were for nothing! My visa was approved today and I will be well on my way to Wales within the next two weeks! I am so amped it's not even funny!
Can't wait to be back here!
So, on Thursday the 30th I drove down to The Department of Homeland Security in Oklahoma City to get my "biometrics" done. What a fancy name for being fingerprinted. Not entirely sure WHY it was necessary to take a 4 hour round trip drive to get my fingers printed. In any event, it was the last step I had to take before mailing off my supporting documents for my UK Spousal Settlement Visa. I stopped by the Post Office in Jenks on my way home to mail everything. I jumped the gun - I should've gone home and double checked how to go about the Priority Processing…but, I didn't. So now instead of my applicatio being processed in 48-72 hours, it's going to take at least 12 business days. Way to go. Yeah, we saved $300 by NOT going the Priority route but holy shit, I miss my husband.
Oh, and I neglected to sign a form…which I had no clue I had to sign. So that will surely hold up the process of being approved. Christ, I pray my Visa is approved. I miss my husband. I miss Cicely. I miss the ocean. I miss Wales.
In total, I mailed off nearly 2 pounds worth of documentation. 3 separate sections of "stuff".
1. General - Settlement application, additional passport photo, marriage certificate, Passport and yet ANOTHER additional passport photo, my biometrics, Dylan's passport (copy) and Dylan's Confirmation letter (basically saying that YES we are married and YES he wants me to come live with him).
2. Finances and Accommodation - My bank statements covering April '11 - June '11, Letter stating when my account was opened and how much $ is available, my 2010 Tax forms, my CV/Resume, Dylan's salary stubs, Dylan's bank statements, Dylan's employment contract, Dylan's mortgage statements, a monthly budget/maintenance requirement showing that Dylan makes enough money each month to support us without needing government assistance, a letter from Dylan's parents saying we will be living in their 2nd house and proof of their land registry.
3. Supporting Proof of Relationship - Travel itineraries to/from the UK & US, photographs (holidays, wedding, etc.), Facebook screen shots, email screenshots, Skype call records and our wedding invitation.
All of that PLUS $1,149 to apply and $33 to overnight my documents to NYC…Hopefully it will all be quite straight forward and I will have my Visa in hand soon!
This is seriously such a ridiculously stressful time. Knowing what I know now, if I could go back in time…I'd do it all over again. Seriously. I can't imagine my life without Dylan.
I am going super stir crazy though and suffering a bit from cabin fever. I haven't worked in just over 2 months, I'm back to living with my parents, it's 110 degrees every goddamn day and I hardly ever get to see my friends because, well, they have lives. I tried to get ahold of Lauren today to see if she wanted to hang out but I haven't heard anything from her. I thought that surely my best friend would want to get together for my last 4th of July weekend, but apparently, I was wrong. Oh well.
I spent a good portion of my day reading and subsequently finishing Flowers for Algernon. It was a fast read and made me a bit teary eyed but I'm chomping at the bit for something that will make me cry like a baby. I live for devastatingly sad novels. I love my kindle, but after 7 months of using it consistently, I still miss having an actual book to put on a shelf when all is said and done. That's one of the hardest parts of this whole moving to the UK thing - not being able to take my books with me. I've kept pretty much every book I've ever read since I was about 12. I had the BEST library EVER. I may be a bit biased.
The other thing that really sucks about moving - I had to get rid of Pitty. Have I not mentioned that on here, yet? I don't think I have. Yeah. When I was in Wales in March, my mom took it upon herself to find another home for my baby girl. I'm still really upset over it all to be honest. Pitty was hands down, the best dog I've ever had. So loving, so sweet, so protective, so smart, so cute, so PITTY. I NEVER imagined that I would EVER have to get rid of her. I remember thinking about how Pitty would be my future children's first dog. Nope. Once it became apparent in February that I wouldn't be able to transfer her to Wales (I couldn't put her through 6 months of quarantine in England. She would've gone mental being away from me/Dylan/lots of human interaction for that long and the PETS process was just not an option AND it would've cost THOUSANDS of dollars either way), I KNEW that I would have to find her another home.
I had a sneaking suspicion that I wouldn't find a home for her and would end up having to either A. put her to sleep or B. take her to the pound. She was never exposed to children, didn't play well with "strange" dogs, was scared of men and had a habit of pissing all over herself and whatever she happened to be on if you so much as looked at her the wrong way. Miraculously, my mom found her the PERFECT home. A 40-something woman, her husband and 2 kids were willing to take Pitty. They already had 2 dogs, a border collie, a blue heeler and 2 cats. Their border collie was a submissive wetter so they were totally cool with Pitty's piddles. It took her a little while to warm up to them but she fits in beautifully now. I keep up with her new mom via facebook. I couldn't have created a better home for her had I tried.
My husband and my puppy. My favorite picture.
Anyway, this is one massively rambling entry. It's nearly 10pm, maybe it's not so hot outside now…I'm going to venture out to the pool and do a little reading, so long as there aren't any MASSIVE wolf spiders about!

APPGEAR Commercial: ZombieBurbz
- To promote the 'AppGear' toy line we created a series of commercials that followed the same structure. Each story starts with a child walking into a room the same color as the games bran color. Once the child starts the game the world transitions into the game world. When the child triumphs and celebrates the worlds returns to normal. For the Zombie Burbz title we transported the child into the game world where he had to 'lay some traps' for victory. For continuity each spots starts with the same hollow drum beats and ends with the brand tone.

"The dual M.A. in French and History has enriched my studies
in both fields. My in-depth knowledge of French literature and
culture, as well as my language skills, are advantageous for my
historical studies. My knowledge of history has, in turn, informed
my reading of French texts. The interdisciplinary approach offered
in this program has opened innumerable doors for my future studies
and career by allowing me to develop a unique academic
E.Adamo, (2012-2015)
If you have been facing the dilemma of having to choose between French and History or two other different disciplines, that difficult choice is no longer necessary. Four departments at Bowling Green State University have joined forces to create a unique program of study leading to the simultaneous granting of two master's degrees, in French and either in Spanish, German or History. A Dual degree in French and Political Science has recently been added to the dual degree option. Dual degree students typically take three years to complete their degree, spending one year in France (or, soon, in Québec), and if they have chosen the Spanish or German M.A. degree program, the second year is spent abroad in that target culture.
Applicants to the Dual MA program must follow all instructions for applying to each program and be accepted into each program. Click here for instructions to apply for the French program. We admit qualified applicants as their files are completed. It is therefore best to apply as early as possible, preferably before February 15.

Fractal.MXG by Materialize
The fractal.mgx coffee table is derived from studying the fractal growth patterns of trees. reinforcing the growing bond between nature & mathematical formulas, this table is comprised of treelike stems which grow into smaller branches until they get very dense at the top. manufactured as a single piece – without seams or joints – using stereolithography, fractal.mgx would be impossible to produce using other manufacturing techniques. made from epoxy resin.
fractal.mgx was launched in 2009 as part of the e-volution collection. inspired by the digital, environmental, & artistic transitions taking place in the world, this collection was brought to life using the revolutionary .mgx additive layered fabrication (ALF). these techniques enable the merging of design, art, nature, & technology and take the concept of beauty to a new level.
the designers, gernot oberfell & jan wertal, founded their own studio in 2007 after studying industrial design at the state academy of art in stuttgart, germany. they share a strong interest in new technologies and processes, discovering very early the possibilities of computer aided design as a source of inspiration and a vehicle to discover new & exciting form languages.
