Lovely little pots of joy; beautiful packaging, matching the colour inside (except the oldest one, Cendre de rose brune). Many colours available, there should be something there for most people: check Jojoba's review for the fullest run-down on the whole wide web! Here's the full set c/o www.bourjois.fr (click "continued" for link to work).
The contents are domed, and baked. Hence minimal ingredients list. The mini mirror inside is useful, the fitted teeny brush is not. I haven't yet found a use for it, but put it in the tool box in case my BH can dream up some McGyverish scheme for it. As others have noted, this blush *is* hard and can be hard to pick up or seem dry. Scraping the top gently with a dry toothbrush helps (for me anyway), but it does need some work with a blusher brush: I managed to irritate and scratch my skin (hence down to a 4), and resorted to using (clean) finger-tips, which works well for the apple of the cheek.
The powders all carry the classic Bourjois scent: rose, vanilla, peach, violet flower, maybe some lily of the valley. Love it or hate it (I love it, and am highly allergic to many smells - but this scent is happily nostalgic for me).
I've recently been adventuring for the first time into the dark regions of blush. This is scary for a pale blue person (NW15 or N1 on a more colourful day) with freckles. Anything with more blue-violet in it brings out my natural blueness; so the more "pure" pinks came out a bit artificial-looking on me. Going the other way, anything with too much coral/rust comes out orange. Sigh. I spent many happy hours trying colours out on my arm and corner of jaw, consulted MUA Productville and the Boards (thanks Satinette and Georgiasweety!), and found some colours that are lovely on the fairest of the fair:
35 Lune d'or: the most delicate wash of peachy-pink, with lots of gold shimmer. Barely shows even on pale skin, so cannot be over-applied. Might also work on darker skins as a highlighter. This became my first ever daily blush - I love it, makes me look more alive with only the slightest hint of discernible colour. Works brilliantly with freckles.
33 Lilas d'or and 95 Rose de Jaspe were the next lightest: pale rose-pinks.
33 Lilas d'or was another of the golden-glitter family (hence "d'or"), slightly more of a mauve so with more pink-violet, and darker. It was hard to apply without verging on the garish - i.e. too strong for me.
95 Rose de Jaspe I prefer (and bought and wear): more of a dusky rose - so with a little more beige-brown in the mix; less golden sparkle; easy to apply a faint wash that just makes you look very slightly flushed. It's more peachy than the other paler Bourjois blushes, so works well on the pale blue of hue. Not a hundred miles from Nars Orgasm - Rose is, well, a touch more rose-pink.
34 Rose d'or was slightly darker, with more violet/lilac in it, very cool-toned. It's goldenly glittery again. Too strong and pink on me. A true pink, if you're looking for that sort of thing.
I tried others out on my arm, just for fun, but it was clear they'd be too pink/purple, or dark, or simply clownish on me. But this is to do with the combination of pale blue skin and freckles, tricky for colour matching! There are the most beautiful pinks; and rusty browns like Rose coup de foudre, Tomette, Brun poudré; some gorgeous shades that look like they could be used as bronzers too.
Some of the eye-shadows (lovely little pots of joy again) could be used as highlighters. More pearly than gilded, for the most part, they could work as whisper-light blushers that are even more delicate than Lune d'or:
Rose peau 15 is palest pink,
Rose perle 03 and Ambre nude 16 are light nude / beige / peaches,
and Beige rosé 08 is slightly deeper.
See www.bourjois.com for colours (click "continued" for links).
Costs a blissful EUR 10.00 ish in Europe; not tested on animals; no irritation on this otherwise rather irritable skin.
UPDATE (2008-06): I *have* had a slight irritation issue: this was due to a known irritant in another product (that I used anyway, stupid me), and this was one of the items I was using that didn't help. Stopping using it helped. Going back to it - skin broke out a bit on the cheeks. I'm keeping this for Special Occasions, but for everyday purposes, it's over to good solid reliable Clinique.

I was contemplating buying the mousse blush from Maybelline, but bought this instead - another wonderful product from Bourjois! I have this in Rose D'or, and it is perfect for me. It is subtle and smells lovely. The brush that comes with it is okay, but I prefer to use a different brush that is bigger and easier to hold. I think it will last a long time, but I will definitely repurchase it if needs be. :)

I have been using this for quite a while. I noticed that my brush is picking up the shimmer but not the color. I scraped the top of the blush and the color magically appeared when i applied. It would have been better if there was no need for this to be done because it was just a waste of product. The colors are great and even if I have to scrape some all over again I think it would still be worth it.

okay so here we go. i've been wanting to buy this blush n to try bourjois products for some time now. so the blush. it's quite nice,but u gotta apply it correctly. its not heavily pigmented,looks like a nice flush,the packaging is cute,the brush is useless and the quantity is less.it's difficult for the brush (any brush) to pick up color easily,so you have to work on it n it takes time.but still,the color is sweet,the quality and price quite reasonable.but i dunno if i will b repurchasing tho. will update.n oh yeah i don mind the scent.right now m happy with the product,but like i said,i think it makes for careful application.

I simply adore this blusher. I was browsing through the shelves one day for a blusher for my dinner and dance and I chanced upon this. The lady recommended me this as she said it comes with shimmers and the colors are quite subtle too. I really love the color and the shimmers, it made me look so sweet and the shimmers illuminated my cheeks, making it glow during the night, and I could see it in the photos. Many of my friends and family has commented on the prettiness of this blusher when I wear it. It comes in a cute pot, I don't use the brush that comes with it though, at a decent price too.

The blush is great. It has a very sweet smell to it, sort of flowery and looks great when applied. It gave my cheeks a very natural glow and was very versatile and easy to blend. My only problem was the small brush which came with it. It was too small and thin for my liking, so i had to buy a bigger more thicker brush, but apart from the brush the blush is most certainly my favorite. Bourjois also offers a massive range of different shades to suit everyone.
Highly recommended as the best blush out there.

It is a grate blush with a shimmer (if you like that) and it is very similar to Chanel's blushes. It is easy to get a natural look, but it builds up for a dramatic, evening look also.
But the container brakes very fast and I do not even keep my makeup in my bag with me, but on my dressing table, so the package is impressingly bad!
I am not pleased with the amount of different colors; especially I would like to have more rosy, pink and peach tones – really natural and delicate ones.

Just bought this in Rose Frisson which is a satin pink. Very pretty when applied with a light hand. However, this smells like great-grandma perfume. I don't know how other reviewers are finding it yummy. (Hence, one lippe off). But the smell doesn't stick onto my face. Also the brush completely useless. But overall, I am satisfied with this, and will purchase more colours.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate whether early oral intake after cesarean delivery has an effect on gastrointestinal outcomes during postpartum recovery. Electronic searches of published studies between 1980 and 2011 were conducted using PubMed, Medline, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Airiti databases. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and nonrandomized trials were included. Data were extracted in a systematic manner and the quality of each study was appraised independently by two reviewers. Meta-analyses were conducted only for RCTs using the RevMan5. Seventeen studies met eligible criteria and were retrieved, including 14 RCTs and three non-RCTs. The majority of early oral intake was provided within 6-8 hours after cesarean delivery. Early oral intake was significantly related to the return of gastrointestinal functions compared with delayed oral intake (bowel sounds -9.2 hours; passage of flatus -10 hours; bowel evacuation -14.6 hours). Early oral intake did not significantly increase the occurrence of gastrointestinal complications compared with delayed oral intake after cesarean delivery (ileus symptoms 18.7% compared with 18%, odds ratio [OR] 0.98; vomiting 5% compared with 5.5%, OR 0.9; nausea 10.3% compared with 10.3%, OR 1.03; abdominal distention 9.3% compared with 11.6%, OR 0.82; diarrhea 3.4% compared with 5%, OR 0.62). Early oral intake after cesarean delivery improves the return of gastrointestinal function and does not increase the occurrence of gastrointestinal complications. A clinical implication based on the findings of the current evidence is proposed.Obstetrics and Gynecology 06/2013; 121(6):1327-34. DOI:10.1097/AOG.0b013e318293698c · 4.37 Impact Factor -

ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: Breastmilk is usually frozen for premature infants when they are unable to feed orally. However, thawed breastmilk may have altered odor and taste from its original form. Few studies have investigated whether premature infants respond differently to fresh and thawed breastmilk. The purpose of this study was to examine the physiological and behavior responses of premature infants alternately fed fresh and thawed breastmilk. Subjects and Methods: An experimental, crossover study using random assignment was conducted. A convenience sample of 18 premature infants less than 37 weeks gestational age at birth with the capability of oral feeding was studied. The premature infants were fed with fresh and thawed breastmilk during two consecutive meals in a random order. Infants' heart rate and oxygen saturation levels were measured baseline and during feeding, as well as observed feeding cues during the feeding period. Results: Premature infants showed significant differences in heart rate when fed thawed, as opposed to fresh, breastmilk. Premature infants demonstrated more stress cues when fed thawed compared with fresh breastmilk (p=0.007). For infants with postmenstrual ages greater than 36 weeks gestation, feeding with thawed breastmilk showed more stress cues and greater effect on heart rate activity compared with fresh breastmilk (p<0.05). Conclusions: Older premature infants demonstrate more stress when fed with thawed breastmilk. Preterm infants should be directly breastfed or fed with nonfrozen breastmilk, when they show stress behaviors in being fed with thawed breastmilk.Breastfeeding Medicine 07/2012; 8(1).

Rating: R - Violence, Nudity, Not For Children, Brief Nudity, Adult Situations, Adult Language
In this hit thriller, a prosecuting attorney-turned-defense lawyer falls in love with a rich, charming client who's been accused of murdering his wife and her maid with a hunting knife. When an unknown assailant gruesomely slays San Francisco newspaper heiress Paige Forrester (Maria Mayenzet), her husband and business partner, Jack Forrester (Jeff Bridges), turns to corporate attorney Teddy Barnes (Glenn Close) for counsel. Teddy, who quit her job with the district attorney's office four years earlier over an ethical dilemma, has reservations about returning to criminal work; nevertheless, she accepts the assignment, convinced of Jack's innocence and eager to face off in court against her old boss, DA Thomas Krasny (Peter Coyote), who's about run for attorney general. With the help of investigator Sam Ransom (Robert Loggia), the recently divorced Teddy builds a strong defense for her client, though the work -- and her incipient romance with Jack -- cause strain in her relationship with her children. When Jack's innocence and his romantic intentions come into question, Teddy feels her life slipping back into a moral quagmire until a series of courtroom denouements set the stage for even bigger surprises. Big-name screenwriter Joe Eszterhas' follow-up to Flashdance, Jagged Edge was directed by Richard Marquand, who had previously lensed Return of the Jedi. Parts of Jagged Edge were shot on-location in San Francisco, whose City Hall provides the film's courtroom exteriors. ~ Brian J. Dillard, Rovi

I'm looking for Winchester Ranger t but would prefer +p. I'm in CA so I have to order the ammo quick as we will not be able to buy ammo on line past the end of the month. If anyones has any in 45 cal please let me know so I can purchase it. Look for a box or two.
well if hotpig is out, you can try TDS, thats who I always got it from before hotpig. They are a little pricier though
IN a little over an hour the link I posted sold about 20 boxes. At that rate they will be gone in about another 2 hours. Here is the link again. Hope the OP reads this before morning.......... 50rd- 45 Auto +P Ranger T-Series RA45TP Winchester .45 | SGAmmo.com edit: maybe the OP bought the 20 boxes lol..
500rds 45 ACP AUTO Winchester Ranger T series 230gr RA45T | SGAmmo.com Pretty good deal on 500 rounds.....
Thats because I just ordered 500 rounds I ordered 3 boxes of +p 7 boxes of standard T and one box of 9mm T. I sent them an email so see if they could give me the 10 box discount since I was ordering more than 10 boxes but of different ammo. Sam sent me an email right back with a special link that gave me the complete order ready to go with the discount applied. All I had to do was put in my credit card info and I was done. This was at 6pm here in CA on a Sunday night. Amazing customer service! Thank you for the link. Ill be stocked up for life on personal protection ammo!
I stumbled across it earlier in the day when I was looking at 45 GAP ammo there. They got the LEO marked PDX1 in 45 GAP that they do not charge as much for 20 as I can get 50 there. I remembered seeing it, glad I could help... I might just order some from him even though I just ordered a bunch of GAP....
Hello XD Folks, Thanks for all your support. I have excessive supplies of all the Ranger ammo except for the RA9TA which is listed with my actual stock, the rest of the Ranger inventory is only listed in partial, which is to say that I have more than is listed as available. If any of you are in need I can get it shipped out within 1-2 days at most and all listed items are in stock ready to ship. Feel free to contact me thru the website....thanks...sam
Thanx a bunch. I just ordered two boxes of RA45T and you shipped it promptly, can't ask for much more. Also, it was only $2 more a box than what I pay for WWB JHP at Wally World. I'll be a regular customer from now on.

Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (Uma inornata)
Also known as: | Coachella uma |
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Chordata |
Class | Reptilia |
Order | Squamata |
Family | Phrynosomatidae |
Genus | Uma (1) |
Size | Snout-vent length: up to 11.5 cm (2) |
Classified as Endangered (EN) on the IUCN Red List (1).
The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard is a small, highly specialised reptile (3), suited to a life on continually shifting sands. The scaly fringes along the toes of the feet, after which this lizard is named, enable it to move with ease across and through sand, while thick, serrated eyelids prevent sand from getting in the eyes (2). Its body is covered with small, smooth scales, forming a striking pattern of black markings on a light grey or white background colour. This distinct network of black lines breaks up on the sides of the bodies and the limbs, where small, black spots speckle the greyish background instead The tail, which is typically longer than the body, is broad and flat (2).
Coachella Valley in Riverside County, California, is the only place you will find this fringe-toed lizard (2). It once had a range that covered just less than 700 square kilometres, but this has been reduced to about 130 square kilometres (3).
The Cochella Valley fringe-toed lizard has rather unique habitat requirements, occurring only on sand dunes and sandy flats (2) (4), from sea level up to elevations of about 490 metres (1). It requires loose sand in which to burrow and some vegetation for shelter and food (4).
The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard is well adapted to its sandy habitat, with the fringes on the feet providing not only fast movement over the sand, but enabling the lizard to effectively 'swim' through the sand as it buries deep to escape either the hottest parts of the day or predators (2). When not buried in sand, or sheltering in abandoned rodent burrows (4), the Coachella fringe-toed lizard may dash between patches of shade as it feeds on a diet consisting largely of insects, but also parts of succulent plants (2). The exact composition of the diet of this lizard has been observed to vary depending on the times of the year, with flowers and plant-dwelling arthropods being consumed in abundance during spring when many plants bloom, and then as these foods decline, more leaves, ants and ground arthropods being eaten (5). The hatchlings of other lizards are also sometimes eaten, as well as shed skin, which is believed to help the lizard conserve vital protein (5).
Between April and August, the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard lays clutches of two to four eggs, with hatchlings appearing between June and September. This lizard reaches sexual maturity at the age of two (4). Periods of drought are known to reduce reproduction in the Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (4).
This Endangered reptile has been greatly affected by the loss of its very specific habitat. Human development and the invasion of exotic plant species have taken their toll on at least 80 percent of suitable habitat in the Coachella Valley, and the remaining portion has been fragmented by roads and railways (3) (4). Buildings and invasive plant species both stabilise the once free-moving sands, preventing the continual replenishment of loose sand on which the lizard relies (3).
The Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard is listed as threatened in the United States under the Endangered Species Act, and as an endangered species by the State of California (3). In addition to this legislation, some of this lizard's habitat receives much-needed protection. In 1985, the Coachella Valley National Wildlife Refuge was established to protect the fringe-toed lizard (3), followed by the creation of the Coachella Valley Preserve, which encompasses an additional area of lizard habitat adjacent to the Wildlife Refuge (6). Few lizards now exist outside of these protected areas (1), and thus the continued existence of this refuge and preserve are essential for the survival of this rare and unique reptile.

Typical Carty hit piece. I don't know what motivates Carty but it is clear that he feels that he needs to constantly attack Michigan football.
Maybe Carty writes his attack pieces to show that he isn't a "tool" for the football program and to show that he is an "objective" journalist. If so, he is waaaay overcompensating.
No regular reader of his articles thinks he is fair.

This article aims to give you an outline of sonnets, including what they are, their history and some examples of the different kinds of sonnet. Hopefully along the way you'll pick up some tips to help you write sonnets (or write better sonnets!).
What is a sonnet?
Sonnets feature:
- Fourteen lines
- Fixed metre
- Fixed rhyme scheme
- A shift in mood or perspective during the poem
Sonnets are short poems which traditionally have 14 lines, a fixed metre and a fixed rhyme scheme. Despite, or perhaps because of, the formal constraints of sonnets, they often deal with themes of emotions, love, and freedom. The name 'sonnet' comes from the Italian meaning 'little sound' or 'little song'
Sonnets usually have two sections; a proposition or argument followed by an answer, solution, or a different way of looking at the original issue. In this, sonnets are similar to Japanese Tanka. Between the two sections, sonnets have a volta or turn - a change in the mood or argument of the poem. The volta is a central feature of the sonnet and is often emphasised by a shift in the rhyme scheme. It causes the reader to re-examine the assumptions of the first part of the poem or casts the whole central idea of the piece in a different light. Because of this, a sonnet can be used effectively to mirror the human thought process or to show the progress of an emotion.
Often contemporary sonnets will not follow the fixed metrical pattern and rhyme scheme of traditional sonnets, but they may still use a sonnet structure by having two distinct sections and a volta.
Sonnets are often grouped by theme in connected groups called 'sonnet sequences'.
Although sonnets have been written in a variety of different metres, traditionally sonnets in English were most commonly written in Iambic Pentameter.
'Iambic' means that the basic repeating sound pattern of the poem, known as the metrical foot, is the Iamb. An Iamb is made of two syllables, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable 'da-DUM' (examples of iambs include absurd, unite, alarm and expand). 'Pent' means five, so 'Pentameter' means that there are five Iambs in each line of the poem.
Each line of a poem in regular Iambic Pentameter has ten syllables broken up into five feet. These follow the unstressed-stressed pattern.
Example (the bolding indicates the stresses):
In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,For they in thee a thousand errors note,But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.
(From Shakespeare's Sonnet 141)
For a more in-depth explanation of metre and how it works, and of other different types of metre, check out:
Lesson 1 - Basics of MeterQUOTE OF THE DAY
"Life is tons of discipline. Your first discipline is your vocabulary; then your grammar and your punctuation. Then, in your exuberance and bounding energy you say you're going to add to that. Then you add rhyme and meter. And your delight is in that power."
- Robert Frost
As Robert Frost is saying, meter and rhyme are not the most important parts of writing. They are the most intricate when creating poetry, but poems can be written without them. I began my poetry with free verse, and gradually became more and more fixed as I went on to learn more about how meter affects the poem, and how rhyme, alliteration, assonance, and the like also affect the reader's experience with a piece of poetry. And my free verse is all the better for it. Even if you never write another fixed poem after finishing this course, an intricate understanding of the rules of conventional poe
Metre 101So. Metre.
It has become a dirty word in some poetry circles.
It conjures images of withered, grey-haired men laboriously counting out beats and stresses whilst coughing up phlegm because of all the dust in their cramped and quasi-arcane libraries.
It really isn't all THAT bad, trust me.
So, without getting too 'old-man' technical - What is metre? what is it good for?
And, importantly, how does one use it?
Well, let's see if we can come up with some workable and easily understood answers by the end of this.
#1: What is metre?
Technical Language: The most well known metre, 'Accentual Syllabic Metre' is the rhythmic arrangement of syllables and patterns of stresses in a poetic line.
Translation: Metre is a poetic device that allows you to consciously orchestrate the flow of rhythm in a poem by paying attention to the natural rise and fall of the spoken word, and how to align those patterns of word-emphasis in an effective way.
#2: What is metre good for?
A brief history of the sonnet
Sonnets originated in Italy in the 13th century. They are thought to derive from the Sicilian Octave, an eight line form which has only two rhyme sounds throughout, similar to the first eight lines of a traditional Italian sonnet.
One of the most notable early Italian sonneteers was Francesco Petrarch, who wrote sonnets celebrating courtly love and featuring 'Laura', a woman with whom he had fallen in love at first sight. Many of Petrarch's sonnets are in the form of a blason. Blasons are poems which describe the features of the woman about whom the poem is written using metaphors. One example of a Petrarchan sonnet in translation can be found at link. Petrarch also introduced the notion, adopted by many later sonnet-writers, of love as a kind of religious experience.
Italian sonnets, and sonnets written in imitation of the early Italian sonnets, split the 14 lines of the poem into an octave (eight lines) and a sestet (six lines) with the volta or shift after the octave.
Sonnets arrived in England in the 16th century, initially as translations of Italian and French sonnets. By the mid 16th century, sonnets in English were highly fashionable, particularly amongst the aristocracy, owing to their intricacy and the potential for self-aggrandizement. The features and themes which came to characterise English sonnets were established. Sonnets generally had three quatrains (groups of four lines) and ended with a rhyming couplet. A common theme of the 16th century sonnet was unrequited love, or courtly love. Shakespeare, writing in the late 16th century, began to subvert and play upon the sonnet conventions.
From the 17th century onwards, sonnets in English branched away from the traditional themes of love and devotion. John Donne used the sonnet from to explore themes of religious faith and doubt, and the sonnet experienced a revival in the early 19th century when Romantic poets such as Wordsworth used it to criticise the materialism of the age. Early 20th century poets such as Robert Frost and William Butler Yeats tackled a variety of themes using variations on the sonnet form. Frost said, "The sonnet is the strictest form I have behaved in, and only then by pretending it wasn't a sonnet."
Contemporary English sonnets rarely follow strict iambic pentameter and rhyme schemes, and don't always have 14 lines. They are recognisable as a sonnet by the two distinct sections and the volta, by the intricacy of the form, and often by the heavy use of allusion, metaphor and rhetorical tropes.
Types of sonnet
Here are some examples of a few different types of sonnet. There are many others out there. Why not see what other kinds of sonnet you can find?
Petrarchan or Italian sonnet:
- ABBAABBA CDECDE or ABBAABBA CDCDCD rhyme scheme
- The rhyme scheme used in the final sestet varies
- The poem rarely ends with a rhyming couplet.
Petrarchan Sonnet TutorialThe Petrarchan Sonnet, also known as the Italian Sonnet, is the earliest sonnet form, invented in the 13th century. It was refined and popularized by Petrarch, who lent his name to the form. The first English sonnets were also written in this form.
It consists of two parts, an octave and a sestet. The octave follows an ABBAABBA form. The sestet may follow several forms: CDECDE, CDCCDC, or CDCDCD. By English conventions, the meter is iambic pentameter.
"On His Blindness" by John Milton
When I consider how my light is spent
Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
And that one talent which is death to hide
Lodg'd with me useless, though my soul more bent
To serve therewith my Maker, and present
My true account, lest he returning chide,
"Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
That murmur, soon replies: "God doth not need
Either man's work or his own gifts: who best
Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
Is kingly; thousands at his
Shakespearean or English sonnet:
- ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme scheme
- Usually split into four quatrains (groups of four lines)
- Ends with a rhyming couplet
- The final couplet gives a sense of finality to the poem.
Spenserian sonnet:
- ABAB BCBC CDCD EE rhyme scheme
- Named after Edmund Spenser (1552-1599)
- Tighter rhyme scheme with less variation than Shakespearean sonnets
- Structurally similar to Shakespearean sonnets.
Curtal Sonnets:
- ABCABC DBCDC rhyme scheme
- Devised by Gerard Manley Hopkins
- Ten-and-a-half lines long
- Three quarters the size of a Petrarchan sonnet and shrunk proportionally.
Curtal Sonnet TutorialThe curtal sonnet (sometimes incorrectly called the "curtailed sonnet") is a sonnet form invented by the innovative Victorian poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins. Hopkins, who was intensely interested in the mathematical qualities of the sonnet, devised this form to be exactly 3/4 of a Petrarchan sonnet. The name "curtal" comes from a term originally referring to a horse that had its tail docked.
The form is 10.5 lines long, consisting of a sestet, a quatrain, and a "tail piece" (half of a line). There are no meter requirements, save that the poem is consistent in meter throughout. Iambic pentameter is standard, with a trimeter half-line, but Hopkins originally wrote in neither meter. For this reason, two examples of his are given. The rhyme scheme is listed before the example lines.
Peace (Iambic hexameter with a trimeter half-line)
(A) When will you ever, Peace, wild wooddove, shy wings shut,
(B) Your round me roaming end, and under be my boughs?
(C) When, when, Peace, will you, Peace? I'll

Pushkin sonnets:
- aBaBccDDeFFeGG rhyme scheme (the lowercase letters represent feminine endings, where more than one syllable rhymes and the line ends with an unstressed rhyming syllable)
- Named after Aleksandr Pushkin
- Also known as Onegin stanzas after the novel in verse in which Pushkin famously used them
- Written in Iambic Tetrameter, which has four Iambs to a line
- No set way of dividing up into groups of lines; more flexible than many sonnet forms
- The Golden Gate, a novel by Vikram Seth, is written entirely in this form.
Caudate sonnet:
- ABBAABBACDCDCD DEE (CFF FGG) rhyme scheme
- A standard 14 line sonnet with a coda or tail on the end
- The poem is usually 17 to 24 lines long
- Features a standard Petrarchan sonnet in Iambic Pentameter followed by a tail
- The tail is 'half a line' in Iambic trimeter (three Iambs) and a rhyming couplet in Iambic Pentameter
- The tail can be repeated
- It was invented in Italy in the 16th century and was often used for satire.
Example: That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the comfort of the Resurrection by Gerard Manley Hopkins
Sonnet Redoublé
- Also known as Heroic Crown of sonnets
- A set of 15 sonnets in which the last line of one sonnet is the first line of the next
- The last sonnet is traditionally made up from the repeated lines of the previous 14 sonnets in order
Nonce sonnet:
- Sonnets which feature variations in rhyme scheme or metre are sometimes termed 'nonce sonnets'
- Nonce means 'once' or 'for the one time'
- Nonce sonnets are one-offs which don't adhere to established sonnet rules
- Defined as "a poem, generally of fourteen lines, rhyming by no set pattern, which suggests the sonnet form by its rhetorical unity and closure and by the intricacy of its construction," (from The Robert Frost Encyclopedia, Eds. Nancy Lewis Tuten, John Zubizarreta)
- Many contemporary sonnets can be classed as nonce sonnets.
Cornish Sonnet
- ABACBC DEDFEF AD or ABACBC DEDFEF CF rhyme scheme
- The underlining here indicates that the whole line is repeated
- Can include the use of a regular metre, although it is not required.

GHS to spruce up gardens
Looks to complement neighbors
The curb appeal of Germantown High School hasn't been much to brag about.
But hope is blooming that it will be transformed by springtime into a showcase of flowers and art.
Barb Parsons, president of the school's Parent Teacher Student Association, has been shepherding the project along with PTSA beautification committee chairman Sue Sharp and GHS principal Mike McIntyre.
"We have two small triangular gardens that are very nothing," Parsons said. The plots had received scant attention up to now -- except for a lot of foot traffic beating the area down -- but motivations began to appear.
One came in the form of nearby businesses that were sprucing up. McIntyre said, "Barbara and Sue and I felt we should get the front of the school looking nice for people driving down Poplar Pike." McIntyre likes to characterize the campus as being like a small college, with six buildings and 22 acres -- and therefore with a responsibility to complement the beautification efforts of its commercial neighbors.
But there were possibilities beyond simply putting in some plants. Landscape architect Edison Wingate came up with a plan that would discourage pedestrian traffic in addition to incorporating a sculpture garden that would display works done by GHS students.
"It's a great way to use our metal and wood shops," McIntyre said. "We've got some talented kids and very good instructors and they're always looking for projects."
Plants are expected to go in by the end of the month and before long, perhaps three works from Jonny Easley's metal shop class will be on the scene. Parsons said she hopes the winning bid will be decided soon and work can get under way with an eye to completion in the Spring.
Parsons said the PTSA has raised about $3,300 so far, with contributions coming from the City of Germantown, Methodist Hospital and members of the community. Money is still being raised with the hope that this project might be the start of a larger effort.
Wingate, whose firm ArtLandDesign.com has a bid in on the project, said he hoped his design could be the basis for creating a theme that could be carried through the campus. "I wanted to give at least a portion of the campus some unity."

NNAL (4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol)
NNAL is a product formed after 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) enters the body. NNK belongs to a group of chemicals called tobacco-specific n-nitrosamines (TSNA). This group of chemicals is found only in tobacco and tobacco products. Measuring NNAL in people's urine is a reliable way to determine exposure to NNK for smokers, for non-smokers exposed to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and for people who use smokeless tobacco products (chewing tobacco, snuff).
How People Are Exposed to NNK
NNK enters people's bodies when they smoke or use smokeless tobacco products. NNK also enters the bodies of non-smokers when they are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Workers who harvest tobacco and produce tobacco products can also be exposed through their skin and lungs.
How NNK Affects People's Health
NNK causes cancer in people. In pregnant women who are exposed to tobacco smoke or who use tobacco products, NNK and/or NNAL can pass through the placenta to the developing fetus.
Levels of NNAL Adducts in the U.S. Population
Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) measured NNAL in the urine of 5,212 nonsmoking participants aged six years and older who took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in 2007–2008. Smokers had NNAL levels that were about 50 to 150 times higher than in nonsmokers. By measuring NNAL, scientists can estimate the amount of NNK that has entered people's bodies.
- CDC scientists found NNAL in the urine of more than a third of the non-smokers tested.
- In studies of children exposed to ETS, levels of NNAL in urine have been 2 to 3 times higher than the levels found in ETS–exposed adults.

The Future of Basketball Scouting & Video Editing
Basketball GM & Scouting Course students will get the opportunity to be exposed to the cutting edge video scouting techniques being used by many teams in the NBA, college basketball and high level international leagues. Video editing positions are one of the best ways to break into the NBA, so students in the Basketball GM & Scouting Course with SMWW, will come away with a specific skill set that will separate them from other candidates. Each student will be provided with a login to Synergy Sports Technology's website and will be asked to complete a video editing exercise.
Synergy Sports Technology is a technology company that provides a real-time video-indexing statistical engine and online retrieval platform to the sports and entertainment industry. Synergy captures every NBA game (and games from several other markets) and subsequently logs every possession. The output is the most comprehensive scouting database for player and team tendencies. Numerous SMWW students have been hired by Synergy upon graduation.
Professional and collegiate sports teams log on to Synergy's website and have access to the largest collection of cataloged sports video in the world. With a few mouse clicks, a user can pull up all of Steve Nash's pick and rolls on the left side where he dribbled off the pick and make a dribble jumper from less than 10 feet. Never before have sports professionals had access to such a wide-ranging collection of scouting tools.
Snyergy is used primarily by professional and amateur basketball teams. Currently, 27 of the 30 NBA teams use Synergy's web-based services for, among other things, evaluating players for the draft, trades and free agency, developing the team's own players and for scouting opponents. Synergy staff logs every possession of every basketball game according to team-specified criteria. Resulting data is then interlaced with league-generated stats to produce visual displays that provide intelligence on player and team tendencies. SMWW students are introduced to Synergy in the Basketball GM & Scouting Course. For those looking to "get paid to watch basketball," the Digital Video Editing Course, a full 8 week training course with Synergy is recommended.
NBA TV, NBA.com & EA Sports
Synergy has a multi-year licensing agreement with the NBA that provides NBA TV and NBA.com access to Synergy products and services. In addition, Synergy has a partnership with EA Sports which calls for the developer and publisher of interactive entertainment and games software to incorporate data from Synergy into its products. NBA Live is a series of basketball video games produced by EA Sports. The brain behind the game is powered by Synergy Sports Technology. Upon graduation, students will be able to list their experience with Synergy Sports Technology on their resume and be prepared to answer questions in the interview process with teams and basketball entities.
The ideal course for the following individuals: · Anyone who loves basketball · Anyone who's passionate about a career in sports management · Anyone who wants to learn about the sports industry, while keeping current employment · Those with other commitments for whom on-line education fits their schedule · Those who seek a way to break into the competitive world of the business of sports · College students who want to gain insight not offered on college campuses · College students who need to obtain college credit |

April 21, 2013 at 7:36 am #36685
Hi there,
I'm having problems with the featured image function in Genesis and I'm working on creating a new child theme by modifying the function files.
Here's what I want to achieve:
1) Display the featured thumbnail (150×150) on the blog page
2) Ensure that tags are not stripped on the blog page.
3) Display the full featured thumbnail on the post page (full size)Heres what I'm currently doing to avoid the problem
I've tried setting up Featured Image in Admin > Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives to allow featured images. However, this setting does not allow me to have a full width image on my post.
Also, if I set to allow featured images and I place an full width image on the top of my post before the <!– more –> tag, I have to set content limit to 1000 characters to prevent two pictures from showing up on my blog page. And this settings results in stripped tags.
Can I get any help here? Thanks!
Here's my website for reference: http://www.zell-weekeat.com
http://www.zell-weekeat.comApril 22, 2013 at 1:41 am #36825Help anyone?
April 23, 2013 at 7:40 am #37096A few questions for you.
- Is the thumbnail a cut of the larger featured image? Basically, you are using the same image for the thumbnail and the featured image on the post?
- When you share that you are displaying the full featured thumbnail on the post page, are you doing this by inserting it into the post or calling it as a featured image? So it's added automatically?
Also, you mention needing to limit to 1000 characters because of stripping formatting. It might be easier to use Excerpt for the blog archive, as that will allow you to set specific content to show on that page for each post, with no concern of image conflicts.
Loving the Genesis Life!
April 23, 2013 at 7:42 am #37097Have you tried registering the image size of 150X150 first in the functions.php and then setting that size in your Admin > Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archive to get the result.
You may use this –
`add_image_size( 'custom-home', 150, 150, TRUE );`
reference –
April 23, 2013 at 7:54 am #37103Ok, referring to my above comment, I forgot that the 150 by 150 size is pre-defined with the name thumbnail in the settings. I would suggest you the steps pointed by @weslinda, as if you want the same image to show up on single and blog page then you may not need featured image option to be used.
Else, you can simply upload any image (150 by 150 in your case) in featured image section of post, when you do not want to show the main image of the post but some different image.

April 23, 2013 at 8:13 am #37125Here you go, straight from my blog. This snippet will fix your duplicate image issues…
add_filter('the_content','wpi_image_content_filter',11); function wpi_image_content_filter($content){ if (is_home() || is_front_page()){ $content = preg_replace("/<img[^>]+\>/i", "", $content); } return $content; }
You can change the conditionals to anything you want. Currently they're targeting the homepage.

Genesis Theme Starter Kit | It's FreeApril 23, 2013 at 9:03 am #37149Hey everyone, thanks for chipping in to help me with this problem.
- Is the thumbnail a cut of the larger featured image? Basically, you are using the same image for the thumbnail and the featured image on the post?
- When you share that you are displaying the full featured thumbnail on the post page, are you doing this by inserting it into the post or calling it as a featured image? So it's added automatically?
1) Yes basically the thumbnail is a miniature sized version of the large image that I intend to put as the main image of the blog post.
2) I'm calling inserting it manually at the moment. Ideally, I'm looking for a solution to set a featured image that automatically insert the full sized image at the top of my post, and a thumbnail version at the blog template page.Limiting the content to 1000 characters resulted in stripped formatting, but when I used blog excerpts instead, the "Read More" link doesn't appear. Instead, its replaced by 3 ellipses that doesn't link to anything.
So in summary, I would ideally want it to
1) Show featured image (full) on post
2) Show featured thumbnail (150 x 150) on blog template (the images are from the same image and just included once with featured image)
3) Ensure there is no stripped tag
I'm currently using the featured image checkbox under Admin > Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives and I've set it to 150×150.@surefirewebserv:
Thanks for the snippet! I'm not too sure I understand how to use it though. Can I get a quick explanation on this snippet and how should I use it?Also, does anyone want me to put up my functions.php file?
Thanks all!
April 23, 2013 at 11:40 am #37195This link may help you for the "…" issue when using an excerpt :http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_excerpt
Here is the snippet you probably want:
For versions 2.9 and higher of WordPress
By default, excerpt more string at the end is set to '[…]'. To change excerpt more string using excerpt_more filter, add the following code to functions.php file in your theme:function new_excerpt_more( $more ) { return '[.....]'; } add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
April 23, 2013 at 8:31 pm #37304Thanks for chipping in. I've tried that option as well, and its not what I was looking for.
I'm looking to manually insert the "read more" link in the post itself, and I don't want to limit the post excerpt a certain amount of characters. The except_more filter doesn't allow me to do so.
Guys I really appreciate the help here!
April 26, 2013 at 8:22 am #37841Hi there, I've tested with using excerpt.
The problem with using excerpt is that I wont be able to put the "Read more" tag right where i want the text to break. If i modify the excerpt length to say, 800, I don't even get to see the "Read more" link.
Some help please?
April 29, 2013 at 12:08 pm #38444That's the function that excerpt brings to the table, so there aren't a ton of "read more" links. If you feel you want those, you could do a simple custom bit of code to add the "read more" link if you wanted. Probably the easiest way to solve this.
Loving the Genesis Life!
April 29, 2013 at 8:24 pm #38493@ weslinda
How would such a custom bit of code look like? Do I hook it on to "genesis_after_post_content"?
