How to Act Like Bella from Twilight
Bella is the beautiful and wonderful main character for the famous Twilight saga. She adores the Cullen family and loves Edward Cullen even more.
1Remember that you do not need an Edward Cullen. Bella wasn't even interested in having a boyfriend until she met Edward. Be patient: eventually the right guy will come around.Ad
2Work hard in school and get good grades. Bella is an excellent student. It's mentioned in the books that she was in AP classes back in Phoenix. Study hard and do your homework.
3Be helpful around the house and always offer help if you think one needs it. Bella helps Charlie often, even when she isn't asked. Just keep your room clean or offer to wash the dishes after dinner. She also cooks dinner every night since Charlie is pretty much incapable of cooking an edible meal.
4Read a lot of books. It's Jane Austen, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Faulkner. All authors were on Bella's reading mentioned in the books that Bella likes to read and reads quite often. Try reading Wuthering Heights or Anne and the Green Gables. Both are great classics, not to mention reading makes you a lot smarter.
5Have a few good friends that you can trust. Bella is not wildly popular in Phoenix or in Forks, but she does have a few good and trusting friends like Alice, Jacob, Eric, Angela, Mike, and Jessica. Even though Bella is very independent, she does have a few good friends to talk to and spend time with.
6Have confidence in yourself. Bella doesn't have a very high self esteem, but she still has the confidence to stick up for herself and what she believes in. She's often described as stubborn, especially by Edward.
7Be clumsy and an accident-prone. If you want to truly act like Bella, this is actually pretty important. Don't fall or break things on purpose, of course. But if you do fall or trip, shake it off and don't worry about it. Bella is also described of being extremely non-athletic, which sort of ties in with the clumsiness.
8Don't try too hard to be pretty. Bella is beautiful, but she doesn't spend too much time on her looks. She's not really into fashion, so stick with jeans and t-shirts in muted or neutral colors, and sneakers. You could try Converse or flats as well. Bella has long, dark brown hair. Stephanie Meyer has said that she pictured Bella with straight hair, but in the movie she has wavy hair. Either one is fine, but sticking with your natural hair would be best. Wear a headband or small clips to keep your hair away from your face. Makeup is optional and if you do wear it, it should be kept natural. Foundation, lip balm and maybe a little mascara is all you'll really need. Keep the look fresh and clean. Effortless beauty is key. Bella is beautiful naturally and so are you.
9Bella has pretty pale skin. This really is not essential, especially if you have a darker skin tone, but always remember to wash your face in the morning and at night and wear sunscreen. The sunscreen won't only help keep a paler complexion, but it will also protect from skin cancer and signs of aging from the sun.
10Be shy and quiet. Bella is very shy and somewhat of an introvert. She doesn't like a lot of attention and always wants to blend into the crowd. If you are outgoing, however, you should not attempt to stifle such antics, and realize that it is folly to ever try to be anything that you are not.Ad
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Be quiet and pretty shy, Bella isn't a person who is bubbly and outgoing.
- Don't try to keep up with the fashion too much, just go with a down to earth style
- Bella wears straight leg and boot cut jeans
- Take good care of your appearance.
- Always wear sunscreen.
- Have good grades and study often. Bella wasn't a bad student.
- Always stick up for your true friends.
- Don't ever abandon your friends for a boy. It's not worth it.
- Don't ever, EVER try to change yourself. Realize that Bella is merely a fictional character in a book, and realize that she has massive flaws. If this doesn't sway you, then stop to think for a moment- would Edward want Bella at all if he saw that she was trying to be something that she was not? Your real soul mate will love you for who you are, not for who you think you should be.
- Always stay true to yourself, don't start believing that you are Bella, don't relive her fictional life. Know that you are YOU, and no one can change that.

CENTRALIA - Centralia police arrested a Columbia man Monday evening after he allegedly threatened to hurt two victims if they did not have sex with him.
Mark E. Havrum then allegedly became aggressive toward arresting officers who asked him for identification.
Havrum has been charged with trespassing, sexual misconduct and assault on a law enforcement officer.
Havrum had already been ordered twice in the past three months not to have contact with two other separate people. One order was dropped after the person who filed the restraining order withdrew their petition.
He had been due to appear in court on a domestic abuse charged June 18 before the hearing was cancelled.

Seasonal to Interannual Forecasts
Climate Outlook
February 2010 - Archive Copy
On This Page
The Climate Impacts Group (CIG) translates global-scale climate forecasts and conditions into regional-scale climate forecasts for Pacific Northwest (PNW) resource managers and the general public. The El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is the most important factor for seasonal forecasting, changing the odds for different types of winter and spring weather (e.g. warmer/drier, cooler/wetter) in the PNW. Another important climate variable for Pacific Northwest climate is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). The climate outlook also provides the basis for natural resource forecasts, including the CIG's annual streamflow forecasts.
What's Next for the Pacific Northwest?
February 2010
Updated 3 March 2010 (posted March 03)
The climate outlook is reviewed monthly and updated as needed.
The 4 February NOAA El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) diagnostic discussion anticipates the continuation of warm ENSO (El Niño) conditions through Northern Hemisphere Spring. A review of tropical Pacific observations and more recent ENSO forecasts is found below.
The NOAA Climate Prediction Center (CPC) seasonal forecast for March-April-May is for a continuation of the mild, drier than normal conditions the region has experienced this calendar year (temperature, precipitation forecasts). In particular, the CPC temperature forecast is for a greater than 40% chance of above normal temperatures over the PNW, with the probabilities of the same exceeding 50% in northern Idaho, northern Oregon, and Washington. The CPC precipitation forecast for March-April-May is for a greater than 33% chance of below normal precipitation in central Washington and northwest Oregon, with the probability of the same exceeding 40% in western Washington and the extreme northwest corner of Oregon. The remainder of the PNW is forecast to have an equal chance of below, equal to, or above normal precipiation in this period. This forecast pattern of temperature and precipitation deviations is consistent with the interpretation that ENSO will dominate the climate of the PNW in the coming months (analyses, UW).
The seasonal forecasts should be interpreted as the tilting of odds towards general categories of conditions, and should not be viewed as a guarantee that the specified conditions will be realized. The precipitation forecasts only have skill during significant ENSO conditions like the present.

Recent Pacific Northwest Climate
The 30 days ending 22 February continued the regional pattern of significant warm temperature anomalies (>2 °F (1 °C) above the 1971-2000 mean) that began in mid-December (WRCC). The largest temperature anomalies, in excess of 4 °F (2 °C), were observed in central and eastern Washington and northern Idaho. The eastern Snake River Valley, including Pocatelllo, was the exception to this pattern and experienced slightly cooler than normal 30-day average temperatures (analysis, NCEP). The January-average Oregon, Washington, and Idaho state-average temperatures were in the 93rd and higher percentiles of the 116-year record (analysis, NCDC) and, several cities, including Bellingham and Seattle, broke long-standing temperature records (OWSC).
Precipitation summed over the 30-days ending 22 February was 50-75% of normal and drier west of the Cascades in Oregon and Washington and over much of Idaho (total, departure, percent normal). The recent weather contributed to continued diminished snowpack throughout the region (Snow Water Equivalent on 24 February, legend; today; NWRFC). The snowpack, as of 24 February, was near to slightly below normal (75-90%) in the Canadian portion of the Columbia Basin; 50-75% of normal throughout the eastern portion of the Basin; and 25-75% of normal for this part of the season in the Oregon and central Washington Cascades. The long-lived drought conditions to the west of Cascades persist (analysis, Drought Monitor).
Southerly winds associated with the January storms replaced the cold coastal sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies of December with warm anomalies in January (PFEL). January SSTs from Vancouver Island to Cape Blanco in southern Oregon (43 °N) were in excess of 1 °F (0.5 °C) above the 1985-97 normal, and in excess of 2 °F (1 °C) above normal along the southern Washington coast and in the Salish Sea. The Pacific SST anomalies for the more recent 30-day period ending 20 February (analysis, 1982-96 mean; ESRL) documents small SST anomalies near the coast and cool anomalies centered at 30°N to the west of 130°W.
Recent and Projected Changes in Key Indicators for Pacific Climate
El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO).The NOAA El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) Diagnostic Discussion employs the average sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly over 5°N-5°S, 170-120°W in the equatorial Pacific, in what is called the "Niño 3.4" region, as a key indicator of tropical Pacific climate. The Nino 3.4 SST anomaly for November, December, and January was 1.65, 1.78, and 1.62 °C, respectively, and the January value represents a diminution of the warm ENSO.
NOAA employs mechanistic and statistical models to forecast how ENSO will evolve over the next several seasons. Mechanistic models solve equations for ocean and atmosphere motions, precipitation, cloud and radiative processes to forecast the future from present conditions. Statistical models, on the otherhand, are constructed from observations of past climate, and apply regression coefficients to present climate conditions to forecast the future. Agreement of the forecasts from these two types of models increases our confidence in the forecast.
The ENSO model forecasts are summarized by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society. The November-December-January mean Nino 3.4 SST was 1.7°C, and the models are initialized with ocean and atmosphere data through January. The models exhibit a strong consensus that the present warm ENSO episode will diminish dramatically in the coming months, with a forecast March-April-May Nino 3.4 SST of 0.8°C. The system is forecast to become ENSO-neutral (Nino 3.4 SST < 0.5°C) in May-June-July.
Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO). Much of the past 2.5 years has seen strong negative PDO values relative to the 1900-93 mean, which was manifested by colder than normal temperatures along the North American coast. This run ended in July of 2009, and the index was small in magnitude and usually positive through the remainder of 2009. The January 2010 index value was 0.88 standard deviations, which is consistent with the strong storms that were observed in that month (historical digital values in units of standard deviations). [For a normally distributed variable, only 32% of the values exceed one standard deviation in magnitude.]
The existence of the present "El Niño" (warm ENSO) in the equatorial Pacific and its forecast persistence through the Northern Hemisphere Spring is consistent with the development of a PDO warm phase in the coming months. NOAA employs both statistical and mechanistic models to forecast the PDO and coastal ocean conditions. The statistical linear inverse model forecast is for the PDO to be weak and positive through May-June-July, and weak and negative by July-August-September. The coupled forecast system, a mechanistic ocean-atmosphere model, predicts warm SST anomalies along the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts through June-July-August. The warmest anomalies, in the range 0.5-1°C, are forecast for along the Oregon and Washington coasts through May-June-July. The current cool SST anomalies offshore (described above) are predicted to persist through the forecast period. This pattern of SST anomalies is consistent with the positive phase of the PDO (3 March forecast, more recent forecasts).

PADI EFR & Rescue Diver Course
@ DJL Diving Resort, Sairee Beach
Rescue Diver Package includes:
- EFR Course [1 day] + Rescue Diver Course [3 days]
- EFR Manual & PADI Rescue Diver eManual + certifications
- 4 nights accommodation on Sairee Beach, Koh Tao
12,500 baht
*(if you want a paper manual to keep then there is an additional charge of 500 baht)
PADI Rescue Diver Course, Koh Tao Thailand
Up till now your training has focused on making you a better diver. Now it's time to think about everyone else!
We start with a one day CPR and first aid qualification. You watch a video during the morning, then undertake a practical session in the afternoon learning the steps you take in dealing with an accident. This includes assessing the scene, alerting EMS, checking for breathing, circulation, serious bleeding, spinal injuries and shock then progressing onto secondary care. This is followed by a written exam.
The rescue course occupies the following three days - academics each morning and water work in the afternoons. On the first day of rescue we look at surface problems, tired and panicked divers, rescues where you can remain on the boat and others where you need to enter the water. We also take our first look at coping with an unconscious diver at the surface, and inventory all the objects on the boat which might be useful in an emergency.
On day two we move into underwater problems - sorting out divers who are overexerted, have bad buoyancy or are out of air. We practice solving these problems during the 'disaster dive' where we'll simulate situations for you to deal with. We then start to look at how to manage an emergency, run search patterns and surface an unconscious diver, plus make an egress to the boat.
Day three starts with a review of the skills you've learned, then progresses into final scenarios. You will be in charge of the boat, your instructor and other DJL staff will simulate problems which you will have to manage. Expect the worst - swimmers getting hit by drifting jellyfish, missing divers, unconscious victims and more. . .
The PADI Rescue Diver Course is hard work, but great fun.

The first series of the Washington Nationals' season served, at once, to elevate their already sky-scraping expectations and to raise one more question. Over three muscle-flexing victories against the Miami Marlins, their pitching staff allowed a solitary run, their defense committed just one error and their offense finally sputtered to life. Now what happens when they pick on someone their own size?
The Nationals completed their dismissal of the Marlins late Thursday afternoon with a 6-1 victory at Nationals Park. Jordan Zimmermann allowed one run over six innings, Ryan Zimmerman reached base four times, including a two-run double, and Jayson Werth put the game out of reach in the seventh inning with a three-run bolt that cleared the visitor's bullpen in left field. As the last out landed in Bryce Harper's glove, giving them an 11-1 scoring edge in the series, the Nationals were one of four remaining unbeaten major league teams. By day's end, they were the only one left.

My Life Among the Deathworks: Illustrations of the Aesthetics of Authority by Philip Rieff. University of Virginia Press, 2006.
Tout commence en mystique et finit en politique, Charles Péguy once observed. Everything begins with religious sensibility and ends with the agitations of political life. Péguy's affirmation of the primacy of the sacred cuts against the general currents of the modern age. The dominant thinkers of our time have been much more inclined to say that everything begins with economics and ends with politics. Karl Marx may have been characteristically dogmatic when he insisted that economic relations directly determine political loyalties and institutions, but we still tend to accept the idea that economic classes, corporate interests, and the overall economic climate decisively shape politics and society.
On those occasions when we do not tacitly reduce politics to economics, we usually turn in the direction of modern liberal theory for a different sort of reductionism. From Hobbes through Kant and from Mill through Rawls, the basic dynamic remains the same. Essential truths about the human animal, if properly understood and analyzed, will provide us with a genuinely humane, satisfying, and just politics. Everything should and, with enough reformist zeal, will begin with reason and end with politics.
The late Philip Rieff was a thinker not unlike Péguy. For many decades the Benjamin Franklin Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, Rieff in his writings was as likely to refer to Dostoyevsky as to Durkheim, to Oscar Wilde as to Max Weber. A gifted writer, Rieff was the master of bold, aphoristic summaries, and his striking characterizations of late modernity as therapeutic and theatrical have become commonplaces on the lips of a legion of postmodernists. He sought to understand himself as part of our strange, late-modern and perhaps postmodern world, and he wrote for an intelligent, well-read public that shared his interest in self-knowledge. In sum, Rieff was, to use a word now increasingly colored by nostalgic longing for a lost time in American academic and literary life, an intellectual.
After two widely acclaimed books early in his career—Freud: The Mind of the Moralist (1959) and The Triumph of the Therapeutic: Uses of Faith after Freud (1966)—by the 1970s Rieff had largely stopped publish- ing. What little he released was couched in a sometimes playful, sometimes bitter and denunciatory, but always idiosyncratic style designed to defeat easy assimilation into the usual modes of academic discussion and classroom teaching. His earlier facility with the bon mot turned into extended, usually dark and joking literary conceits after the fashion of Kierkegaard. For example, he introduced Fellow Teachers: Of Culture and Its Second Death (1985), an earlier, extended reflection on the perversions of pedagogy in the emerging postmodern culture of academia, as a "postmortem letter to the dead, myself self-addressed among them." It takes a sense of humor to survive intellectually and spiritually in the halls of our higher ignorance.
Rieff's recursive, paradoxical, and hyperbolic style is on full display in My Life Among the Deathworks, the first installment of a promised multivolume study of the sacred sources of social order. Rieff wrote, and rewrote, and rewrote this book through his final decades. It is a difficult, complex, and elaborately rhetorical book, and readers unfamiliar with Rieff's larger project may easily become discouraged. I do not gainsay that reaction, but in this case, I must warn against putting down what puts off. My Life Among the Deathworks is one of those remarkable books that are both indigestible and indispensable. At once confirming and overthrowing the modern project of sociological self-understanding, My Life Among the Deathworks exhibits a mind approaching that most elusive and essential of conservative goals: reflective piety.
In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard Weaver observed that certain words enter into public discourse surrounded with a plentitude of authority. They function as "god terms" that organize and sanctify our cultural and political outlooks. By Rieff's analysis,whether for good or ill, we cannot do without god terms. They are the truths that we serve rather than question, the imperatives we honor with obedience—or with disciplining self-accusations of guilt when we transgress. "Culture," writes Rieff in a transformation of Clauswitzian wisdom, "is a continuation of war by other—normative— means." On the fields of battle both social and psychological, god terms command. They draft the young into their service, fashioning personality into a weapon in the great ongoing struggle for world rule.

Our Christmas in Pictures, 2012
New Christmas pajamas with matching ones for their American Girl dolls...
Santa came sometime in the night, bringing toys and filling stockings...even one for the dog!
Loved this mouths-open shot when they spotted what Santa left under the tree (and on the side of the living room) for them:
My favorite gift of the day was a Kindle Paperwhite, a surprise from T. I'm new to the world of ebooks...I still love my "real" books, but I think this will be awesome to use while we're on the go!
Of course, every holiday has its hitches, and ours included staying up into the wee hours of the morning on the 26th with a barfy kid who ate way too many sugary treats the day before. But all in all, it was a fantastic Christmas.
Hope your Christmas was merry and bright! What was your favorite gift?
Bring your best post of the week for tomorrow...the weekly link party is scheduled to go live at 8 am (ET), Friday. Home Decor, Crafts, DIY, Recipes, Tips & Tricks, Party Ideas, Organizing...it's all welcome. I can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve. Features will be up on Saturday and Sunday, so link up early!

Price Point: $1 Tacos, Tostadas on Tues $5 Burritos $6 Flautas includes Rice
*(UPDATE) Was back and finally tried their HOT, HOT sauce, made with habeneros.... not for the faint of heart! Pretty good!
Burrito Joe's... This is a restaurant that serves homemade food, the type of food I would make at my house. Bean's are just ok, rice is just above that, but what I liked the most was their Flautas, now a days most restaurants plaster their Flautas with sauces and extra junk on top, but what I know to be true is that Fluatas are meant to be served without all the junk on it, to me that is a sign that your flautas are not good on their own, the meat needs to shine through with a solid crunch! Their salsa was pretty good, but what I really wanted to try was their HOT, HOT sauce which they were out of the 3 days I visited them. Other than that, a pretty solid Cheap place to go to.
Pros: $6 Flautas, for us cheapies...$1 Taco Tuesday includes Bean Tostadas, but only for eat in, unlike Cancun Fiesta Fresh where you can take it to-go...
Cons: Always out of their HOT, HOT, sauce the 3 times I visited.
Food Quality: ***/5

AMERKS LOOK FOR FIRST WIN OF SEASON TONIGHT AGAINST LAKE ERIENews | 10/14/2011 10:43:23 AM | ROCHESTER AMERICANS
Game Notes: Tonight, the Rochester Americans take aim at their first win of the season when they meet the Lake Erie Monsters on the road for the first of six get-togethers this season. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Quicken Loans Arena and can be heard live on 107.3 FM and 1280 AM, Rochester's Sports Talk.
Head-to-Head: The contest will be the first of six scheduled meetings this season between the North Division rivals. Rochester is 10-15-2 all-time against the Colorado Avalanche's affiliate.
Milestone Watch: Back for a second stint with the Amerks, veteran forward Michael Ryan is four games away from his 400th professional game, 212 of which have been played in Rochester. Defenseman Shaone Morrisonn is just six games shy of 650 pro appearances. Fresh off scoring his first goal of the season, eight-year pro Colin Stuart sits just seven goals away from reaching the century mark in his pro career while second-year blueliner Drew Schiestel will reach 100 AHL games in his next two outings. Rochester native Derek Whitmore needs just five more games for 250 in his pro career.
Amerks Notes: Rochester (0-2-0-0, 0 points) enters the contest on a two-game skid after dropping a 5-1 decision to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins last night in the franchise's 56th home opener. The Amerks have now been outscored 10-3 through the first two games of the 2011-12 season, with their 10 goals against currently a league-high. Rookie forward Marcus Foligno, the son of former Sabre Mike Foligno, netted Rochester's lone goal for the first of his professional career and veteran netminder Drew MacIntyre made 16 saves on 21 shots in his first game between the pipes in an Amerk uniform. The game also featured the Amerk debuts of defensemen Nick Crawford and Joe Finley, who both missed Rochester's season opener in Hamilton last Saturday.
Who's Hot: First-year forward Zack Kassian has certainly made the most of his pro career thus far. With the only player to have points in back-to-back games, the Windsor, Ontario, native currently leads the Amerks in points (2) and assists (2), while being tied for eighth in overall scoring among American Hockey League rookies.
Special Teams Breakdown: The Amerks currently own the 12th-best power-play unit in the league, but show a 40% efficiency rate on the road, good enough for second in the AHL.
Lake Erie Notes: Lake (0-2-0-0, 0 points), finishing up a three-game homestand this evening to start the season, also comes into the matchup in the hunt of its first win of the season following back-to-back one-goal losses to the Abbotsford Heat last weekend. Veteran forward Greg Mauldin has been the lone goal-scorer for the Monsters so far as Lake Erie's offense has produced only one goal in two games, which ranks among the lowest in the league. Newcomer Trevor Cann has manned the paint in both games for the Monsters and boasts a 0-2-0 record with a 1.54 goals-against average and a .950 save percentage, good enough for 11th and 10th among league goaltenders, respectively. The rookie netminder is also second in saves with 57 and sixth in minutes played.

Underground Railroad Network to Freedom
After suffering a crippling deficit that threatened to erase the program, Congress increased the program's operating budget in fiscal year 2011, helping to preserve these diverse sites and heroic stories in American history.
The Underground Railroad Network to Freedom (UGRR) is a network of individuals and grassroots organizations from across the country working together to protect, commemorate, and educate the public about the Underground Railroad.
In 1990, Congress authorized the National Park Service (NPS) to conduct a study of the Underground Railroad's routes and operations. Then, in 1998, the Underground Railroad Network to Freedom (UGRR) program was established to tell the story of the heroic efforts African Americans employed to escape slavery.
UGRR is one of the Park Service's best diversity-expanding programs. The program illustrates the Underground Railroad's cultural and historic importance for communities of color. It links hundreds of sites, structures, and facilities in 29 states and the Virgin Islands that celebrate and interpret the Underground Railroad.
The Underground Railroad was an informally organized covert network of antislavery activists, safe houses, and paths and roads through woods, river crossings, swamps, etc. Runaway slaves used the Underground Railroad to make their way from slave-owning southern states to northern states, Canada, Texas, Mexico, and the Caribbean, places where they could enjoy freedom and basic human rights. Escaped slaves were secretly transported to various safe houses until their freedom was secured.
The Underground Railroad began operating in the 1500s, when the first African captives were brought to America. In the decade before the Civil War, it is estimated that the Underground Railroad, which stretched for thousands of miles, passing through many states, including Kentucky, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, helped as many as 70,000 fugitive slaves escape and journey safely northward.
Much of the history of the Underground Railroad has been passed down orally for generations. Many of slaves were illiterate, and those who aided them in their flight destroyed their records because they feared exposure. Researchers have called on archeologists, social historians, and others to shed light on historic sites associated with the Underground Railroad and on the lives and communities of its participants.
The Underground Railroad is one of the most dramatic protests against slavery in the history of the United States. UGRR sites preserve that legacy and will share the compelling stories of the brave men and women connected to it with future generations.

If you're using the 1991 edition or the 1978 original, you're woefully behind the Scrabble-playing times. With more than 100,000 2- to 8-letter words, there are some interesting additions ("aargh," "aarrgh," and "aarrghh" are all legitimate now), while words they consider offensive are no longer kosher. Why subscribe to the Scrabble dictionary's changeable lexicon? Well, it ends the argument of whose dictionary to use, but the main reason is that it's the winner's dictionary, and why play Scrabble if not to win? Memorize those 2- and 3-letter words, and your Scrabble game becomes lethal.

Great Vacation
October 08, 2015
This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel and each time we are impressed with the warm welcome, decorations in the lobby, facilities, breakfast and the accommodation. Excellent onsite laundry with ample washers and driers. We wouldn't stay anywhere else.
Long Term Stay, good experience

Friendly staff, accommodating to needs. Rooms and appliances were sufficient for a long term stay. Little pleasant surprises along the way were appreciated. Internet speed was good.
You Won't Be Disappointed - Great Place to Stay

Have stayed here several times and would highly recommend. Clean, comfortable, convenient and accommodating.
Clean, excellent staff, updated rooms
October 01, 2015
This hotel is in a central location to Buffalo and Niagara Falls. It's new, fresh, clean and the suites have updates like tiled backsplashes, excellent showerheads, big fluffy towels, and much better sofabeds than the norm. The staff is incredibly responsive to your needs and goes above and beyond to give directions, restaurant recommedations, etc. They really make you feel like they care. There's a wonderful outdoor patio area with a fireplace for evening gatherings. The breakfast had fresh, cut fruit every morning in addition to the normal offerings and the breakfast area is clean with an attentive staff member watching over the food itself and the breakfast area. The business center does have a working printer to print boarding passes, mapquests, etc. The only complaint I have is that the Pantry was not well stocked and the prices were significantly higher than Pantry prices at other Staybridge Suites I've stayed at.

Ashes 2011:
England's Record-Breaking Series Victory
by Gideon Haigh
Aurum, hb, 285pp,
Publishers may be keen to get their Ashes books out as fast as possible but does content suffer in the rush? Not if the writer is Gideon Haigh
NOT EVEN a month had passed since the final day of England's triumphant Ashes campaign when the first book about it pounded through my letter box. My reaction? Utter indifference. It was just too early. It was like seeing Easter eggs for sale days after Christmas. For goodness' sake, this was published when England were still in Australia slogging their way through a seven-match one-day series.
So it is fair to say that I approached Ashes 2011 with a healthy dose of cynicism. Haigh is a brilliant writer, probably the best in the business, but I had read his daily columns in The Times (he and a chap called Atherton do make the financial leap over their paper's paywall worthwhile) during the series and, exceptional though they were, I expected not much more than a collection of these pieces. Microwaved journalism to us, money for old rope to the author.
What I had not bargained on were daily match reports, filed for Business Spectator, an Australian website. Combined with The Times column on every day's play, they provide the most comprehensive and thoughtful review of the Ashes possible. Suddenly I was recalling the sheer excitement that, in cricket anyway, only an Ashes series can provide. This was my first trip to Australia and this book will serve nicely as both reminder and reference.
Haigh did, of course, have to commit fingers to keyboard for this. His introduction is laced with warning about the immediacy of his observations, all filed within an hour of each day's conclusion and left unaltered since. "Caveat lector," he writes.
There really is no need. Not once does hindsight render Haigh foolish. The closest he comes is when writing at the end of day three in the first, eventually drawn, Brisbane Test. "England now need to bat perhaps 150 overs," he says, "about twice as long as in their first innings, to salvage a draw; it is not beyond them by any means, but nor theoretically is a political comeback by Margaret Thatcher."
Haigh's unique power of description stands him apart. Take Alastair Cook's batting: "He wears his method like a shabby but comfortable jacket, too-long sleeves worn through at the elbows, yet imbued with pleasant associations." Or a poor shot from Shane Watson, "as arrogant and foolhardy as lighting a cigar with a $100 note". Or the opening partnership of Watson and Simon Katich: "Of Ponting at number three they have been contrasting protectors, Katich stepping across his stumps like a secret serviceman guarding a president, Watson more like a bouncer in a swanky nightclub."
The technical analysis is sharp. On Ricky Ponting's batting travails: "Anxious to cover off stump, Ponting has been jumping into, and outside of, the line of the ball; moving so far across, in fact, as to expose his leg stump, down which side he has twice nicked fatally."
After the second day's play at Perth Haigh used a tale about Keith Miller to begin a piece about the frustrations with Mitchell Johnson following his heroics that day. Having taken 7 for 12 to bowl out South Australia for 26, Miller was asked by a journalist about the spell's secrets: "There are three reasons," he answered, "First, I bowled bloody well. Second… Second… Awww, ya can forget about the other two."
I saw Haigh the next day at Perth. "Nice tale," I said. "There are plenty more where that came from," responded Haigh with a glint in his eye. Indeed there are.

Session Details
31. Radical Curators, Vulnerable Genres: Lost Histories of Collecting, Editing, Bibliography
Saturday, 9 January, 12:00 noon–1:15 p.m., Michigan–Michigan State, Chicago Marriott
A special session
Presiding: Meredith L. McGill, Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick
Speakers: Jessica J. Beard, Univ. of California, Santa Cruz; Alex Black, Cornell Univ.; Jane Greenway Carr, New York Univ.; Ellen Gruber Garvey, New Jersey City Univ.; Laura Helton, Univ. of Virginia; Courtney Thorsson, Univ. of Oregon
Session Description:
We will discuss approaches for reading texts and practices that do not conform to conventional literary genre but reveal the radical nature of their creators' and readers' activism and knowledge production. These include scrapbooks, bibliography, editorial work, and others whose precarious status as "nonliterary" forms obscures their centrality to the literary history of race and gender.

The Franklin County Animal Shelter has some difficult days ahead as a strain of the parvovirus has taken hold in the county.
Several dogs have come in to the shelter, the latest bunch being five puppies from a litter on Pea Ridge Road.
Because of the infections, the shelter says they have had to euthanize some of the animals.
"It's important that those people in those areas can take their animals to their veterinarian, or make sure their shots are up to date to protect them," said Trudi Johnson.
The Parvovirus is highly contagious and primarily affects puppies. Once the virus takes hold, the infected can suffer from fever, vomitting and bloody diarrhea.
"But even before that, if you're puppy is lethargic, kinda laying around, not drinking, eating, that right there should be a flag," said Johnson.
It's a threat Joseph Caudill is taking seriously, even though his dog "Duke" is fourteen.
"It's nobody but me and my wife, all the kids are gone. So, he's part of the family," said Caudill.
He says he'll be on his guard, since one of the infected dogs was found near his neighborhood, on Holmes Street.
"Try to protect him, keep him away from other dogs. All I can do right now."
Officials at the shelter say that it's important that you do take your dog to the vet first to get the virus diagnosed, instead of bringing them directly to the shelter.
Johnson says the shelter is not taking any more animals until the virus has run it's course.
She says that could effect adoption events in the near future.

The Michigan House is scheduled to take up two labor bills by West Michigan legislators next week.
The Michigan House is scheduled to take up two labor bills by West Michigan legislators next week.
Rep. Amanda Price's House Bill 4642 would allow employers to advertise for strikebreakers. However, the bill by the Park Township Republican would also bar employers from bringing in those breakers from out of state.
Since 1962, employers operating under a strike have had to advertise that fact along with advertisements for new employees.
"Michigan is the only state in the country that requires this type of advertising," Price said.
Rep. Joe Haveman, R-Holland, has introduced HB 4624 that would allow firefighters to moonlight with other departments as long as it doesn't interfere with their work. It would also forbid fire departments from discussing that work in contract negotiations or in ordinance.
Very few cities do it, Haveman said, but Grand Rapids has started the process to bar its firefighters from working in other fire departments. Haveman wrote the bill to prevent the practice from spreading, saying it goes against the spirit of cooperation the state touts.
Both bills are among those scheduled for second-reading votes, Tuesday, along with dozens of others.

NORTHEASTERN- Two of Northeastern High School's standout athletes have recently signed Division I letters of intent.
Bobcats basketball guard Khalid Nwandu finalized his commitment to Mount St. Mary's - the school he verbally pledged to in June. Meanwhile, senior diver Rebecca Gross signed her letter of intent to join Rutgers University next fall.
Nwandu, a 6-foot-3 point guard, was a second-team YAIAA Division I/II all-star pick last season, when he averaged 16.7 points and helped lead the Bobcats to the state playoffs for a second consecutive season.
Gross was the YAIAA diving champion last year and placed second in the District 3 Class AA meet. She went to earn a sixth-place finish in states.

Kansas governor goes after teen over critical Tweet

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback apologized Monday for what he called his staff's "overreaction" to a disparaging tweet directed at him by a high school senior during a state Capitol visit.
Emma Sullivan, 18, said late Sunday that a Brownback staffer had notified her school's principal about the tweet, and the principal told her she had to write an apology to the governor. On Monday — the deadline for the letter, according to the teen — the Shawnee Mission School District issued a statement stating that "she is not required to write a letter of apology to the governor."
KSHB: School district responds
A statement issued by Brownback on Monday did not reference Sullivan by name or mention the prospect of any apology letter. He did emphasize his support for "freedom of speech," while thanking "the thousands of Kansas educators who remind us daily of our liberties, as well as the values of civility and decorum."
"My staff overreacted to this tweet, and for that I apologize," the governor said. "Freedom of speech is among our most treasured freedoms."

The Department of Education and Training (DET) provides access to state educational opportunities to ensure that all students can participate in and gain positive outcomes from schooling across primary, secondary and special schools.
This procedure outlines the protocols for school-based staff and regional office staff to follow when enrolling prospective students in the Preparatory (Prep) year to Year 12 in state primary, secondary and special schools.
All eligible children and young people are entitled to 26 semesters of state education (counted from Prep) and are able to enrol in any state primary and secondary schools unless there is an enrolment management plan in place. This means students may not be entitled to enrol unless they live within the local catchment area, or, for students from outside the local catchment area, have met eligibility criteria contained in the plan. Other conditions may also affect a prospective student's entitlement to enrolment.Queensland state schools offer enrolment to children of compulsory school age and to young people in the compulsory participation phase. There are specific legal obligations about enrolment and attendance that apply to parents of children of compulsory school age and young people in the compulsory participation phase. Specific provisions apply to those students who are over 18 years of age at time of enrolment.People from the communities of Aurukun, Coen, Hopevale and Mossman Gorge may be subject to the requirements of the Families Responsibilities Commission in relation to enrolment of their children.In certain circumstances schools may treat a student's enrolment as having ended. Enrolment in a State special school depends on a number of factors. The Information Notice for Enrolment in a State Special School outlines criteria to assist in determining eligibility requirements.
Principals - State Primary, Secondary and Special Schools are responsible for providing all relevant information to parents and/or prospective students and overseeing the enrolment process. Special school principals are also responsible for assessing an applicant's eligibility and school suitability for enrolment at a state special school. Primary school principals are responsible for making decisions about early entry to Prep.Regional Directors are responsible for reviewing decisions against ineligible special school enrolment applications and considering temporary attendance applications at special schools for students likely to meet verification within 6 month period.Principal Education Officer, Student Services (or delegate where appropriate) are responsible for assessing an applicant's eligibility and school suitability for enrolment at a state special school, discussing with parents on request, available programs/services for students with disability and keeping records of meetings, completing Programs and services options when referring families to appropriate school programs/services and endorsing transport assistance on a case by case basis.Principal Advisor, Education Services (or CEO delegated officer) is responsible for approving enrolment at a state special school and approving transport assistance on a case-by-case basis in line with School Transport Assistance Programs for students with disability.
Note: A Transfer Note is not required for students transferring their enrolment from one state school to another (including primary to secondary).

I'm always happy to hear from VOX Daily readers whom I haven't yet met.
Yesterday, I received an email reply to VOX Daily from Reed Rudy, a voice acting instructor in California, letting me know about his upcoming workshop this Spring.
So everyone, I'd like you to meet Reed Rudy. Please make him at home :)
Voice over online is such a small world and one would think that you know everyone in it already, but every once in a while, I hear from someone who is a voice over coach or casting director who reads VOX Daily whom I didn't know before.
It's exciting to hear from all of you, by the way.
When I got Reed's email, I was thrilled to hear from him. Today, I want to introduce Reed and ask for your help welcoming him to the community.
Reed Rudy has been an actor for film, TV and commercials for twenty-three years and has worked in voice acting for fifteen years voicing campaigns for companies the likes of Polaroid, Hagar, McDonalds, State Fund, Alfa Insurance. Reed is currently the voice of Al, for Osh and also has a talent for narration, including work recorded for numerous music shows on VH1, HGTV, and most currently the long running series for Encore, "Cinenews".
Reed Rudy has taught voice for the past five years, both privately and open classes. Currently he coaches many of KCRW™s (Los Angeles™ NPR affiliate) radio hosts and also teaches voiceover classes at various levels which leads me to something that may be of interest to you.
Twice a year, Reed holds eight-week sessions for voice actors, one in the Spring and one in the Fall.
The most popular is called "Introduction to Voiceover - Exploring the Voice".
It™s a class focused on the craft of Voiceovers, with lots of booth time and all session-work is burned onto a CD for you to take home. According to Reed, the class always proves to be a wonderful experience for both his students and for himself.
The next class in Los Angeles will be from February 26th to April 16th at one of the coolest studios in L.A., Ravenswork, in Venice. To learn more, visit Reed's website.
Leave a comment so that we can get connected so that I can post your workshops and classes on VOX Daily, too.
Best wishes,
As Reed's former VO agent, I would like to be the first to congratulate him on this post!!! Reed Rudy is not just a wonderful actor but also a patient, articulate, and all around LOVELY guy.Posted by:
As the former booth director at Reed's CURRENT talent agency, I'll totally second Nancy.
Reed's a great guy, with a great ear for VO.Posted by:

It's been eight months since Toby Stock, Harvard's admissions dean of a little over three admissions cycles, departed Cambridge for a job in Washington D.C. and left Associate Director of Admissions Karen Buttenbaum in charge of conducting phone interviews for most of the past admissions season. But on Tuesday – only weeks before the admissions committee begins reviewing applications for the 2009-2010 cycle – HLS introduced the new Assistant Dean for Admissions, Josh Rubenstein, on the school's official admissions blog HLS In Focus. Rubenstein is a 2006 graduate of HLS who has worked on Capital Hill and for a leading management consulting firm and, according to the blog post, intends to "increase transparency of the HLS admissions process" during his tenure as admissions dean.

Sioux Lookout local launches first children's book
My Dad, the Snow Plow Man is a children's book self-published by Sioux Lookout's Michael Dube. It is available at Anchor Art in Sioux Lookout and online at Amazon.com
Sioux Lookout's Michael Dube recently launched his first illustrated children's book, titled My Dad, The Snow Plow Man.
"It's been a story in my head for years, and with my dad getting older and now my son in my life, I thought it was about time to make this vision a reality," Dube said.
The book tells the story of a young boy's adventures with his dad while plowing the roads.
My Dad, The Snow Plow Man features some illustrated landmarks from Dubes youth such as Highway 105 near Ear Falls. The new author was raised in Ear Falls and Rainy River.
Dube based the story off of one of his favourite childhood memories.
"My dad worked for the highways department for over 20 years," Dube said. "On days when he was bored, he'd often take either me or my brother along to keep him company."
Dube explained that the story was written several years ago but he didn't get around to doing anything with it until earlier this year.
"I wanted my dad to be able to have a copy for himself. I thought it would be something pretty great to be able to read with his grandson," Dube said.
"It's a story I think a lot of children can relate to," Dube said. "It's about being proud about your father's work and the simple joys and magic of every day life."
Dube was not sure how to get an illustrator for the book, so he went online to find a freelance illustrator to create the illustrations that are so integral to the story.
"I ended up finding a freelance illustrator from Turkey," Dube said. "We communicated online with her sketches and my direction, and within a few weeks I received the images I needed to proceed with self-publishing."
Dube has a couple of more books that are in the early stages, which he says will be the same type of illustrated children's books.
He explains that the cost of self-publishing will be a major factor, though.
"Unless a publisher comes along, I have to come up with more money to publish the next book," he said.
My Dad, The Snow Plow Man is available at Anchor Art in Sioux Lookout for $8.99 (plus applicable taxes), and is also available for purchase online at Amazon.com. Dube hopes to have some copies of the book distributed to libraries across northern Ontario in the near future.

The entire point is that he's patching this together from a bunch of dreams and other various things, so it's not necessarily surprising without total explanation. Besides, since when does anything he does make sense to begin with? It's all creepy and weird, but that's the style he animates in.

Re: Netflix Coming to Canada
They're only doing a streaming only account in Canada if I read that correctly. Surely the people at zip.ca are sweating bullets, but I hope that means they'll be forced to move on their own streaming service or cut their margins even further.
The real problem is that broadband in Canada just can't handle it. I don't know how much it takes to stream a typical episode from Netflix, but I have no doubt that 60GB won't be enough for anyone.

Esther Murugi, Special Programmes Minister, finds much hilarity and merriment when discussing what should be done to combat the scourge. Please don't get her started about men who have sex with men and HIV. That will be a ROFLHOLCBF - rolling on the floor laughing hysterically out loud collecting bird feathers - moment. She's one of the more progressive albeit confused Kenyan politicians. Sample this from just three months ago.
Oh dear me, seems like she is the one who should be put in quarantine for foot in mouth.

MKO terrorist commits suicide in Iraq camp
Mon Jul 30, 2012 6:36AM
Excessive mental pressures, psychological problems and a bleak future outlook for the group are said to have driven MKO members in Iraq to despair, prompting some of them to commit suicide.The MKO fled to Iraq in 1986, where it enjoyed the support of Iraq's executed dictator Saddam Hussein, and set up its camp near the Iranian border. The group is also known to have cooperated with Saddam Hussein in suppressing the 1991 uprisings in southern Iraq and carrying out the massacre of Iraqi Kurds. The MKO has carried out numerous acts of violence against Iranian civilians and government officials. MP/GHN/HJL
