she's here! thank you for all the help in naming her!
So after 9 weeks in the hospital due to preeclampsia, we are finally home with:
Marlena Carys Brooks R......n
She joins big sister Geneva Simone Dunbar R.....n.
I would like to thank the nameberry community for all the advice and help that you gave to me.
We went into the hospital with only one "maybe" name: Indira. We felt like it was a lovely name but not quite right. We spent days agonizing over names and could not come up with any. When she was born, I was a bit panicked at the lack of a name, and started to randomly say names. We had passed over Milena, and I tried again with Marlena (we say it like mar-lay-na), and it just clicked and felt right.
I 'm wondering how others have chose their babies names? have you always known? handed down family names? panicked and stressed like me?Natacha - mother to Geneva Simone and Marlena CarysRunning all my names past http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/a site that surveys people with the same name.
Current Favs:
Boys: Archer Sloan or Merrick
Girls: Indira Maren or Sloan

Congrats and what a beautiful choice!
With my son, I went in knowing his name, but I could see myself being as indecisive as you, I have a hard time committing.

Congratulations! Marlena is such a lovely name! I think baby naming gets harder with each child. #1 (a girl) and #2 (a boy) were easy for us to name. I'm pregnant with #3 (a boy) and we are finding it difficult to find a perfect name for him!
March 24th, 2013 12:48 PM #9
Marlena is a great name!!! Congrats =D
Our eldest son was supposed to be named Samuel Theodore - but after a 3D scan I panicked because he didn't look anything like a Samuel and I hated how everyone had automatically adopted "Sam" as a nick name. So I panicked and went through every name website and book - handed my partner list after list after list and he veto'ed every single name I liked! Eventually we settled on the only name he had ever suggested and chose a middlename suggested by dad.
With our youngest, well that was a compromise! It was the number 1 name I wanted for our eldest, which my partner had vetoed. So in exchange for our eldest name, my partner allowed me to chose our second sons name, which I did. The middlename was one we both really loved and had considered using for our eldest (Theodore).
The next one will be a nightmare of epic proportion as we just cannot agree on anything!!

ANN ARBOR -- Fitz Toussaint rushed for more than 1,000 yards in his first season as Michigan's featured back. But when the Wolverines opened their season against perhaps the best rush defense in college football, Toussaint was 1,200 miles away.
He didn't make the trip to Texas following an offseason DUI arrest. Instead, he watched the game at the home of assistant Michigan basketball coach Bacari Alexander, emotions running high as Alabama pummeled his teammates 41-14.
"It's been tough, because I let my team down, I let my family down," said a remorseful Toussaint, who has pleaded guilty to a DUI charge stemming from the July arrest. "I'm just trying to build back on everything day by day.
"It was definitely an educational experience. Guys like my age, they feel they know everything up until they get into trouble, so that day really brought a lot of things to me and show me about my character."
Toussaint addressed the media Tuesday for the first time since his arrest. He has been reinstated by coach Brady Hoke and will play Saturday against Air Force (3:30 p.m., ABC).
The junior said he once wondered whether that opportunity would come.
"I did worry, because these guys are my brothers and I respect the coaches, and I know they respect me, and I let them down," Toussaint said. "So whatever decision (Hoke) made, I had to agree with.
"I have tremendous respect for him, and I'm glad he stuck with me through this situation."
Toussaint was arrested July 21 after running a red light in Ann Arbor. He didn't say much Tuesday about the incident itself, other than he made a "bad decision" and wasn't "accountable" or "trustworthy."
He told police when he was pulled over that he was drinking beer, records show. At a court appearance last month, where he pleaded guilty to operating a vehicle while visibly impaired, he said he was drinking brandy at his apartment.
He registered a .12 blood-alcohol content and was jailed by Saline police, who executed the arrest. He was released early the following morning.
"It was hard (being in jail), but i knew I had guys who were going to support me," Toussaint said. "I let my team down, I let my family down."
Teammates have been supportive. Toussaint said quarterback Denard Robinson has been particularly helpful, calling him and frequently visiting his apartment. Jordan Kovacs also visited regularly.
Robinson and Kovacs are Michigan's two captains.
Toussaint was held out of Michigan's first week of practice. Hoke deliberated over whether the tailback would play in the opener, and announced the day before the game Toussaint would not play.
Toussaint said he found out about that decision earlier in the week, but was not surprised by the call.
"I kind of knew I'd messed up, knew I was ready to face the consequences," he said.
The effects of the arrest could linger into Week 2, as offensive coordinator Al Borges said earlier Tuesday that Toussaint has not yet earned back his starter's role. That decision will be made later this week.
"I'm going to go out there and work every day, day by day, and try to earn it back," Toussaint said. "I feel good. Just going out there, picking up certain things and I still have support from different guys and just being with my brothers has really helped me.
"I still have to go out there and do everything I have to do to build on everything. I'm still in pretty good shape."
Senior Vincent Smith started against the Crimson Tide, and sophomore Thomas Rawls also received action. They struggled, though, combining for 42 yards on 19 carries.
Toussaint averaged 86.8 yards in his 12 games last year, and 118.0 yards in the six games for which he was the designated featured back.
It was difficult for him to watch his teammates toil without him.
"I was definitely emotional," he said. "It was tough. I let my team down, I wish I was out there to play with them. "
Instead, he watched it at the home of Alexander.
"They showed me mad support, and I was glad they had me over to watch it," Toussaint said. "They support us every day. They wanted me to feel wanted."

How To: Affordable ebrake solution for rear Brembos on WRX

How To: Affordable ebrake solution for rear Brembos on WRX
As you may or may not know, STI's use a 190mm sized rear brake rotor hat / parking brake, whereas the WRX uses a 170mm. This poses an issue if you're installing STI rotors and Brembo calipers on your WRX, as your ebrake will have nothing to grab onto an thus cease to function. The front STI rotors and calipers will bolt on no problem (use 04 STI rotors as they are 5x100, or if you have dual drilled rotors, use those) so this post is only focusing on the rear.
I researched all my available solutions, and I came up with (
what I feel
) is the
, in terms of strength and reliability, and it happens to be the most affordable option.
First off, regardless of the route you choose to take, you're going to need to remove the rear dust shields from your backing plates. (I won't cover that, so go here for instructions:
Now... as far are what options are currently available:
Option 1:
DBA STI adapter rotors $375 + Kartboy Brackets $225
This option is by far the easiest, but convenience comes at a cost, as this is the most expensive option. These rotors are expensive and special order (can't pick them up from just anywhere). My only other concern is, I'd rather not use adapter brackets if I don't have to. I'd much rather choose a solid, one piece, OEM steel backing plate, which is why I didn't use caliper adapter brackets. Plus, I don't want to spend $225 and then have to modify them to make them fit Brembos.
Option 2:
Godspeed Ring Inserts $350 + Kartboy Brackets $225
This option is still what I would consider an easy option, but it's still an expensive one for what you're really getting (plus, Godspeed is in the UK, you're paying about $50 in shipping). Godspeed makes these ring inserts for stock STI rear rotors that take up the dead space and allow you to use your stock WRX ebrake parts. The issue is, you're stuck to using stock type STI rotors (can't use lightweight 2 piece rotors) and any time you need new rotors, you have to get the new rotors drilled and transfer the ring... but you can pick those rotors up just about anywhere for cheap.
Option 3:
Godspeed Thick Ebrake Shoes $250 + Kartboy Brackets $225
This is option is a bit more involved than the previous, as you're replacing the ebrake pads, but still what I would consider an easy option. Godspeed is the only company I know of that specifically makes thicker ebrake shoes for this exact application, but it's expensive with UK shipping. These ebrake shoes allow you to use any type of STI rotors, and since
you shouldn't be using your ebrake for handbrake turns anyways
they should last you the life of the car.
*Edit* It looks like KNS Brakes (US based store) offer pre-made thick ebrake shoes for $200. So for those that can't find a shop to do it nearby them, or don't feel like going through the effort, this is a good option. *Edit*
Option 4:
Custom thick ebrake shoes $140 + OEM 06/07 WRX backing plates $130
This is the option I came up with after some research. This setup is the most difficult to accomplish, but it's still an easy task. Turns out, relining drum brake shoes is a thing, and since our ebrakes are nothing more than a drum brake inside our disc brake, I figured this should work.
I took my stock shoes to a local business (Unlimited Service in Bellingham, WA) and explained what I was doing. Jim told me they have 12.7mm (1/2") pad material that was flexible enough to adhere to my shoes, and he could arc them to match the new rotor. 2 days and $140 later, I had a set of thicker ebrake shoes. The new pad material is about 12.6mm thick, so that gave me about 2.6mm working material (1.4mm thinner than the Godspeed shoes). There was
of adjustment left in the ebrake mechanism, that this was plenty of material. I didn't shop around either, so you might even be able to get a set made for even cheaper.
Since I have an 2002 WRX, I decided to use OEM 06/07 WRX rear backing plates. They are the correct bolt spacing to bolt on the Brembo calipers and keep your ebrake/abs. At only $65 a piece from the dealer, these were even cheaper than using adapter brackets. If you are performing this work on a 2006 or 2007 WRX, this is an unneeded step, and you're finished at $140 ebrake pads.
, if you own a 2002-2005 WRX, you need to remove your hub in order to get to the backing plates. I currently have 170k miles on my chassis (hard miles, as this is my track day / autocross car) and since the rear bearings have never been replaced to my knowledge, and I was installing longer wheel studs, I went ahead and did them during this install. You don't
to replace them, but if they're old or worn, you probably should (there are plenty of threads that have people saying it's fine not to). Since they are a maintenance item on their own, I didn't include them in the cost of this project... but if you did, figure $100 in extra parts to do both sides.
Hope this thread helps some of you guys out!

A Piece of History for Sale
The Seward House Museum in Auburn, New York has announced that it will sell a valuable Thomas Cole painting that has been in the Seward collection for over 150 years. Every Hudson River School collector is sure to have their eye on this magnificent painting entering the market for the first time in its history.
Painted by Hudson River School master Thomas Cole in 1842, Portage Falls on the Genesee was given as a gift to Secretary of State and former New York State Governor William Henry Seward (1801–1872) while he served under President Lincoln; David Strathairn played him in this year's Oscar-nominated film Lincoln. This vibrant and dramatic autumnal landscape portrays Hornby Lodge on the Genessee River in what is now Letchworth State Park in western New York. The painting will be sold to support preservation of the collections of the Seward House Museum and the Fred L. Emerson Foundation, which first opened the house to the public in 1955.
There is no timetable for the sale, and while the Museum would like to see the piece go to another museum so that it can still be available to the public, they will certainly consider private offers. An asking price for the painting has not been released to the public, but if Christie's 2009 sale of View in Kaaterskill Clove, 1826 (hammer price: $1,022,500) and 2003 sale of Catskill Mountain House (hammer price: $1,463,500) are any indication, we can expect this detailed painting's final sale price to reflect its finish and rarity. While this news has resurrected discussions about how museums balance their mission of preservation with securing the massive funds necessary to do so, this sale will none-the-less be one to watch.

The Foolproof Trick to Keeping Your New Year's Resolutions
Targets: hamstrings, glutes, outer thighs, chest
Position your hands in prayer pose at your chest, with fingertips facing the front of the room instead of the ceiling. Press hands firmly together. Balancing on your left foot, raise your right leg with toes pointed toward the front of the room. Lift as high as you can without bending forward, and hold. Say, "I'm in it to win it." Hold for 30 seconds and do three repetitions. Repeat on the other side.
Targets: abdominals, upper and lower back, chest

Enchanting tale at art centre
4:32pm Wednesday 14th November 2012
4:32pm Wednesday 14th November 2012
AN adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Nightingale will be at the Salisbury Arts Centre on Sunday.
The story, adapted for the stage by the award-winning Horse and Bamboo Theatre, is told through a blend of masks, puppetry, animation and original music. It tells the story of a selfish king who replaces his melodic songbird with an all mod-cons mechanical gizmo then wonders if something is missing from his life.
The show is suitable for children aged four and over, and their family and friends. There will also be a chance to meet the puppets after the performance.
The Nightingale is at 11.30am and 2.30pm. Tickets cost £7.50 (£6.50 concessions) and £24 for a family of four.

DAVID HAYE has urged WBC champ Vitali Klitschko to sign up for their world title fight — or be remembered as the man who fought nobodies.
Britain's former heavyweight champ lost his WBA crown to Klitschko's younger brother Wladimir in Hamburg last year.
But Haye is still eyeing one last fight before retiring and says a contract has been agreed with the 41-year-old Ukrainian — although nothing has been signed.
The Hayemaker, 32, blasted: "I always assumed he was quite a proud man and wanted to leave some sort of legacy behind, which he won't do at the moment, because, can you think of any big fighters Vitali has fought?
"He's had 50 fights against nobodies. The only fight of his that people remember is the one against Lennox Lewis — which he lost.
"He needs a fight people will actually remember — and the only recognised heavyweight out there is myself."

Senator Feinstein attacks Rep Peter King on Fox News Sunday:
KING: Listen, the threat is coming from within the Muslim community in these cases. In New York. that's why Commissioner Kelly has 1,000 police officers out in the community. Unfortunately, he gets smeared by the New York Times and the Associated Press, but the fact is we've stopped 16 plots in New York because we know that al-Qaeda is shifting its tactics…If you know a certain threat is coming from a certain community, that's where you have to look.
WALLACE: Senator Feinstein, your reaction to this?
FEINSTEIN: That's exactly where they will look. I don't think all of this is very helpful. I think the important thing is to get the facts. Let the investigation proceed. The FBI has very good interrogators. They know what they are doing. I believe that they will put a case together that will be very strong. With respect to whether we are doing enough in the Muslim community, I think we should take a look at that, but I don't think we need to go and develop some real disdain and hatred on television about it.

ALAN ARCHIBALD could make a move to bring midfielder Isaac Osbourne back to Firhill this summer.
The Partick Thistle boss has added two players to his squad so far ahead of the new Premiership campaign, with Ryan Stevenson and Abdul Osman both signing on with the Jags.
The capture of former Gretna star Osman last week filled another midfield berth for Archibald, who remains on the lookout for defensive and attacking reinforcements.
But he hasn't ruled out another deal for Osbourne, who is still recovering from a knee injury he picked up playing for Thistle last season.
Archibald said: "I don't think he is match fit yet. I spoke to him when we were leaving for Spain and he was starting contact stuff with the young lads at Coventry, where he is doing his rehab.
"That was only a few weeks ago and he has been out for a long time. I haven't spoken to him since then but I will have a chat with him again shortly and see where he is at.
"If he gets back to the player that he was then I would certainly offer him something if he wants to come up.
"The fact that he was down there doing his rehab, I think he enjoyed the time with his family and if he could get a club down there then he would do."
With defensive additions top of his shopping list, Archibald will cast his eye over another left-back contract hopeful when the Jags face Rangers in a bounce game this afternoon.
There is currently no deal on the table for defender Darren Barr while former Scotland star James McFadden has been training at Thistle's Garscube base in a bid to keep fit.
It has been a mixed summer on the transfer front at Firhill as two quality additions have been made but several deals have failed to be concluded.
And Archibald insists there is no need to push the panic button as he continues working to bolster his ranks once again.
He said: "We had three or four targets for each position, we didn't get them but we will keep on looking.
"We are not short. We have got Jordan McMillan, Stephen O'Donnell, Aaron Muirhead and Conrad Balatoni.
"We won't start the season just with them, we will get players in. We have got good players just now. We are in a far better position than we were last year.
"As a manager, you would rather have players in early and I said that, but it is not easy for any club and the further down the budget chain you go the harder it gets.
"If you want a bit of quality, sometimes you have to wait, like we did with Kallum Higginbotham last year."
With just over a fortnight until the big kick-off, excitement is building at Firhill as Thistle prepare for their second top-flight campaign.
A trip to Fleetwood this weekend is next on the Jags' agenda before they host Sunderland ahead of their opening league fixture on August 13.
Archibald said: "The next two weeks will all be geared towards the Ross County game.
"We have got a couple of games in between. The fitness work is all done, we have done four weeks of that and they are all fitter than they were so now it is technical stuff."

Kate Bosworth blown away by Julianne Moore
Kate Bosworth is inspired by Julianne Moore's "playful" side.
The stars appeared in drama Still Alice together, which saw Julianne pick up the Oscar for best actress this year.
Kate, 32, has known Julianne since she was a teenager and cites the 54-year-old as one of the most influential people she's come across in her career.
"I've known Julie for years," she smiled to British newspaper Metro. "We worked with Revlon together, when I was 19 years old, and that's where I first met her. From her patience to her drive for her family... all the choices that she's made have been ones that I admire. And she's so normal, funny and playful."
But Julianne isn't the only important person Kate met at work - in 2011 she was introduced to her husband, director Michael Polish, when they worked on film Big Sur together.
Through Michael, Kate rediscovered her drive and love of acting.
"Oh, totally. So much of it is: Where are you at the moment? Who is representing you? Who knows who? It's all a game of politics at the end of the day. Are you in the right place at the right time with the right people?" she admitted of the industry.
"I just felt like I was falling out of love with the profession a little bit. Meeting Michael... that reinvigorated my desire to keep going."
Kate and Michael married in 2013 and worked on new film Amnesiac together, a dramatic horror about a man suffering memory loss after an accident. Michael directs, while Kate takes on the role of Woman.

Pure Land Buddhism, which began in India around the 2nd century B.C., offered a path to salvation for those who found difficulties with the more rigorous forms of Buddhist practice. It later spread to China and, by the 6th century, to Japan, where it is now the second most popular form of Buddhism.
This exhibition features paintings, sculpture and other works related to Pure Land beliefs, which in Japan is taught by four sects Jodo-shu, Jodo Shinshi, Yuzu-nembutsu-shu, and Ji-shu. Some of the highlights include "Tosotsuten Mandara" ("Mandala of Tusita"), which depicts the fourth devaloka (plane of existence) in the realm of desire, and the "Hiten" ("Flying Apsara"); Jan. 10-Feb. 11.

Kossie gets support from unlikely source
Support for Sydney FC coach John Kosmina has come from an unlikely source ahead of Sunday's crunch A-League game against Queensland.
Roar coach Frank Farina has dipped his hat to a man once considered public enemy No.1 at Suncorp Stadium.
The once Brisbane-based Kosmina is usually the man Roar supporters love to hate since a sideline spat led to a testy relationship with former Queensland coach Miron Bleiberg.
But Farina sounded like a fan as he sized up the long-awaited clash that could decide the A-League minor premiership.
As he looked forward to welcoming Robbie Kruse (hamstring), Danny Tiatto (back/hamstring) and Michael Zullo (thigh) back into his side against Sydney FC, Farina took time to give Kosmina an unexpected rap.
Since taking over from the sacked Branko Culina in round 10, Kosmina has lifted Sydney FC to within sight of top spot.
They are on 30 points, along with second placed Queensland, just one point behind leaders Central Coast with two regular season games left.
"Kossie definitely has something to do with Sydney's form. They're on a good run and have won their last three games away from home, albeit two of them against 10 men," Farina told reporters.
"They've turned it around and they're probably the form team in the league at the moment, but Sydney have always been a good side with good players.
"It just makes Sunday even more interesting."
Farina is hopeful young striker Kruse will play after being forced to withdraw from the Olyroos camp earlier this week due to the injury he suffered in Queensland's 2-1 loss to Melbourne last Saturday.
The youngster trained for the first time on Wednesday and clearly impressed Farina.
Farina will be sweating on Kruse with fellow striker Reinaldo suspended for the Sydney clash.
Korean defender Hyuk-Su Seo (calf) and utility Stuart McLaren (ankle) will also miss the game.
Zullo is all but guaranteed a run against Sydney FC after not being risked against Melbourne as he recovered from a long term thigh complaint.
Simon Lynch and Zoran Petrevski are also in the mix as a possible replacement for Reinaldo.
Zullo, Marcinho, Seo, Ben Griffin and McLaren all have one more yellow card to go before they are forced to sit out a game.

Yeah.. Ya Know?.. Critics Man
Critics Never Got Nothin Nice To Say man
You know the one thing I notice about critics man?
Is.. critics never ask me how my day went
Well imma tell em
[Verse 1:]
Yesterday my dog died, I hog tied a ho, tied her in a bow
Said next time you blow up try to spit a flow
You wanna criticize dog try a little mo
I'm so tired of this I could blow, fire in the hole
I'm fired up so fire up the lighter and the dro
Better hold on a little tighter here I go
Flows tighter, hot headed as ghostrider
Cold hearted as spiderman throwin a spider in the snow
So ya better get lower than Flo-Rida inside of a lowrider with no tires in the hole
Why am I like this? why is winter cold
Why is it when I talk I'm so biased to the hoes
Listen dog Christmas is off this is as soft as it gets
This isnt golf this is a blisterin' assault
Those are your wounds this is the salt
So get lost
Shit dissin me is just like pissin off the wizard of oz
Wrap a lizard in gauze beat you in the jaws with it
Grab the scissors and saws and
Cut out your livers gizzards and balls
Throw you in the middle of the ocean in the blizzard with jaws
So sip piss like sizzurp through a straw
Then discribe how it tasted like dessert to us all
Got the gall to make chris piss in his draws
Ticklin him go to his grave, skip him and visit his dog
You on fire
Thats how ya know your on a roll
Cause when you hot its like your burnin up everyone elses cold
Your on fire
Man I'm so fuckin sick I got ambulances pullin me over and shit

[Verse 2:]

That the crook just took over so book
Run as fast as you can, stop writin and kill it
Im lightning in a skillet your a fuckin flash in a pan
I pop up you bitches scatter like hot grease splashin a fan
Mr mathers is the man
Yeah I'm pissed but I would rather take this energy and stash it in a can
Come back and whip your ass with it again
Salivas like sufiric acid in your hand itll eat through anything metal the ass of iron man
Turn him into plastic so for you to think that you could stand a fuckin chance is assanine

Hit a blind man with a coloring book and told him color inside the lines or get hit with a flying crayon

Pull up in a van and hop out at a homeless man holdin a sign sayin

Men's organic leather 'Blucher' boat shoes from American heritage label Yuketen. Hand-stitched by skilled artisans in Maine, the upper is crafted from full-grain leather using a three-dimensional pattern to create a contoured, molded fit. The shoes feature a three eyelet lace up fasten, kiltie nestled beneath the laces and pinking decoration at the heel counter.
Set upon the brand's signature natural rubber sole, which is stitched directly onto the vamp with thin incisions to deliver traction whilst remaining sealed against debris. The shoes offer sublime comfort and feature full leather insoles, leather tucks and steel shank reinforcements at the arch and heel to accommodate the shape of the foot. A formal take on the classic boat shoe.

Rodwell overwhelmed, thankful after release
MANILA, Philippines - Australian Warren Rodwell said Monday, March 25 he was overwhelmed, happy and thankful at finally being free after 15 months as a hostage of Islamic militants in the southern Philippines.
An extremely weary and gaunt Rodwell, 54, spoke to reporters briefly at Manila airport after spending two days recuperating at a military base in the south of the country from his ordeal.
"There was a great sense of helplessness and hopelessness and I am certainly overwhelmed... I would very much like to say I am happy," said Rodwell, who was so weak that he needed assistance to walk.
"What I would like to do is to convey my heartfelt thanks to the Philippine government and the Australian government (for helping to secure his freedom)."
Armed men posing as police abducted Rodwell, 54, from his home in a coastal town of the southern Philippines in December 2011, and demanded $2 million for his safe release.
Authorities say the Abu Sayyaf, a small group of militants based in lawless islands in the south and designated by the US government as a terrorist organization, was responsible for the kidnapping.
The militants released him on Saturday after his family paid a ransom which the chief negotiator said amounted to nearly $100,000. - Rappler.com

I have a chinese midterm speech tomorrow and my gf recorded my speech and some of the words that I have a hard time saying, in chinese. The files are a .wav and I added them to itunes and to my ipod, however, the ipod doesn't play them. It shows them in the library but it just skips to the next track (in the playlist) when I select them.
Do I need to change their file status or anything?
*edit* Delete me! I didn't notice this was answered on another post by the same author.

AOGBP is a rinse out conditioner with protein. It's not a PT. I think the PT is Blue Algae Conditioning Mask. I occasionally use it as a li.
IMHO, the best PT is CJ Repair Me. It's a moisturizing PT, so you don't have to do a DT. After that is the SS Repair Treatment and then CJ Curl Fix. I use some of the "less" strong PTs (like the Algae Mask) as leave ins: Curl Fix, SSI Okra Repair, Mozeke Carrot Protein, etc.
Aphogee makes a REALLY strong PT. I've never used it and wouldn't bother. It's supposed to smell horrible and can be problematic to use.

The Pell Grant is a federal grant awarded to the highest need students. You must file a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), and your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) figure calculated by the FAFSA must be in the range set by the Department of Education each year. The Pell Grant amount you receive will be pro-rated based on your EFC.
The Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) is a federal grant. There are very limited funds available to St. Ambrose students. The University has certain criteria students must meet in order to be eligible.
Because funds are limited, they are awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis to students who have a completed financial aid file. This means that you have turned in all of the documents required for your file and that your file has undergone a complete review.
If you are eligible for either a Pell Grant or SEOG, the awards will appear on your financial aid award letter.
The Federal Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grant will provide up to $4,000 to assist students intending to teach in a school that serves students from low-income families. In addition, the student must be willing to teach in a high-need field as determined either by the U.S. Department of Education or by a state education agency.
To receive this grant, students must meet all of the following criteria:
Failure to teach in a position that is designated as a shortage field and is located in a low-income school for four years out of the first eight upon graduation or otherwise leaving school will result in all TEACH Grant funds converting to Federal Direct Unsubsidized Loans with accrued interest being charged back to the original disbursement dates of each TEACH Grant.
TEACH Grants are serviced by FedLoan Servicing. Those who are currently TEACH Grant recipientscan view additional information about their grantsat http://www.MyFedLoan.org/TEACH.

Name: Modern Coffee
Location: 411 13th Street, Oakland, CA
Roasters: Multiple roasters, including Ecco Caffe, Four Barrel, and Verve
Rating: 4
This post is sorely overdue. I say this because I frequent Modern Coffee and have frequently recommended it to friends. I say this because the coffee is good. I say this because Modern's rotating, truly multi-roaster menu is rare – almost non-existent – in the industry. But most importantly, I say this because despite these things and despite the fact that Modern has been open for almost 6 months, I've so far failed to write a review.
One justification I make for my procrastination is that I wanted to give Modern a little time to settle into a routine. Owners Robert and Kristen, two Peet's veterans, opened the doors without the usual cafe planing and build-out extravaganza we're used to reading about these days. As I understand it, they picked up the keys on a Wednesday, slapped on coat of paint over the weekend and were serving coffee by the following Monday morning. Regulars of Crema, the Illy wholesale client which used to occupy this space and which moved to the old Primo's kiosk off the 12th Street BART station, had to do a double-take when they stepped inside for their Monday morning coffee.
Since opening, and even since taking these photos, Modern Coffee has continued to evolve and develop. Robert and Kristen have added shelves, tables, decorations and a chalkboard wall menu. They've acquired their line of demitasses, custom mugs and t-shirts with the Modern logo. They've added grinders, begun selling brewing equipment and beans and finally settled into something of a semi-regular rotating menu of different coffees and roasters.
To get down to brass tacks, though, the real reason that I've failed to post on Modern Coffee is that I had to find the right tone for a cafe about which I've lost objectivity. You see, I frequent Modern with some abandon and have gotten to know Robert and Kristin along the way. Not to say that this was hard. They are probably some of the most down to earth and completely approachable people I've met when it comes to the-wave-of-coffee-that-must-not-be-named. Hopefully, though, the fact that I buy all my own coffee and spend so much time there out to count for something. At the very least, I figure I'm qualified to provide you with some insight into this fairly unique operation.
What sets Modern apart? It expands on the idea of the multi-roaster cafe as it has typically been practiced in the Bay Area. Places like Cafe 504, Mojo Bicycle Cafe and Haus offer an espresso by one roaster and filter coffee by another. Modern ratchets this experience up one notch, serving both espresso and filter coffee from multiple roasters on a rotating schedule. The usual suspects include Verve, Four Barrel and Ecco Caffe, but you're likely to find at least a few quality coffees in the shop from other roasters such as Ritual, Barefoot, De La Paz and This Joy+Ride. Sometimes bags of these coffees are for sale and other times they rotate into the brewing cycle.
On any given day, Modern offers you a choice of two espresso blends (in addition to Four Barrel's decaf), with shots pulled on their La Marzocco GB/5. The exact line-up rotates weekly, but typically includes any two of Verve's Street Level and Sermon blends, Four Barrel's espresso, or Ecco Caffe's regular or reserve espressos. The menu, at least so far, doesn't include any single origin espressos.
For filter coffee, you have two choices. You can chose what is usually a single origin coffee or sometimes a blend that is brewed in a Fetco brewer and stored in a thermal carafe. This coffee rotates regularly throughout the day. You can also have Robert or Kristen brew-to-order your choice of whatever bean they have in the store via an Abid Clever Coffee Dripper.
I won't get too specific in my reviews of individual coffees since the variety and range is so huge and since I've consumed too many cups to pick just one. Overall, though, my experience is that both espresso and filter coffee quality is very high. The shots I had last fall of Verve's Street Level espresso, for instance, were easily better than those I had in Verve's own cafe, and the cup of Ecco's Colombia auction lot coffee I had brewed for me on the Abid was absolutely stellar (both clearly a 4). But even the Four Barrel espresso, which I tend to like less and any of the Fetco brewed coffees, which I tend to like less in other cafes, are consistently good here. I find it difficult to pin myself down, but I'd be hard-pressed to rank any coffee I've had from Modern as falling below a 3 with most coffees ranging between a 3+ and solid 4.
If there's a weakness to Modern, I suppose it's in the organic development of the shop, something I find hard to fault as it mirrors this own blog's development. Their slow build out approach means that stepping into the shop may lack some of the splendor of stepping into a much-hyped new branch of Intelligentsia, Stumptown, or Blue Bottle. Robert and Kristen's Mom and Pop approach to business – getting to know their regular customers and caring about what their customers think – can also be deceiving. The result of this low-key approach is that Modern Coffee may be a force that's easy to miss.
But don't be mislead into thinking that this cafe isn't employing a concept to be reckoned with. Although it does so in its own quiet way, Modern is paving the way for a new model of cafe similar to other higher profile spots out there such as Billy Wilson's Barista and Jay Caragay's Project Hampden out in Baltimore. These three cafe – there's no others that I can think of – are not beholden to a particular roaster and can offer customers a chance to taste some of the best the industry has to offer. Bay Area residents, the next generation of coffee bar has arrived.

Director: Lars Von Trier
Screenwriter: Lars von Trier
Because of all the combined weirdness of Lars von Trier's twisted morality tale, Dogville, it's hard to tell what the director's playing at. Is this an experiement in staging? An attack on the Christian doctrine of "turn the other cheek"? You don't quite realize until the final moments.
Over the course of the film, a woman named Grace (Nicole Kidman) is used and abused by the inhabitants of a small Middle-American town named Dogville. What at first feels like a place of freedom and opportunity is revealed to be the opposite. Kidman's character is raped and imprisoned by the mob that is Dogville's inhabitants. But, as it turns out, Grace's father is a member of the real mob, and in the final scene, she orders him to wipe out the town. Daddy does.
And then Lars von Trier lets the credits roll on photos of poor and broken Americans while David Bowie's "Young Americans" plays, a sarcastic rejoinder to the images. Got it. He's talking about America. Good joke. —RS

desktop orchestra from northamerican on Vimeo.
'she was captain dark down weird', a two minute, energetic chiptune anthem by Montreal artist Battle Lava sets the sound for an illuminated lab of thirty 24″ iMacs. With a mere game boy, battle lava creates novel sounds with the analog waves of yesteryear. The visuals, composed in a single flash document are split for each screen and assigned when desktop orchestra is launched. Each display is controlled by a flash applet served by php and can be started and stopped on demand.
Desktop Orchestra is a personal project made over the course of a year, involving composing a synchronized animation of lights for 30 displays, programming in multiple unfamiliar languages, setting up a server, months of trial and error and recording/editing a video. Every aspect of this project involves computers and an intimate relationship with their glowing fluorescents and fiery colours. May their waves radiate strong.

Anna Maria Horner grew up in a house full of her dad's paintings and with a closet full of her mom's handiwork. Beds were warmed by the hand-loomed wool blankets sent by her grandmother from Greece. The busy little bodies of her and her siblings were warmed by the beautiful hand-knits of their grandmother in Indiana. As a kid in the '70s, she passed up the $1.79 Barbie dresses in Service Merchandise, opting instead to create designs from her mother's fabric scraps…an artist was born.
During her years as a retailer/designer, Anna Maria had her hands in almost every medium on a daily basis. Designing clothing served an interest that she had since childhood. Her love of fabrics and patterns spilled onto her fine art canvases as well. Though busy with clothing design and production, Anna Maria found the energy to stay active artistically through exhibiting in galleries regularly. Her paintings, both small and large scale, are part of hundreds of private and commercial collections.
There have been many interesting stops on her artistic path but a common element in all of Anna Maria's work whether clothing, accessories, quilts or paintings is a passion for color and vibrancy.

Blackcats back on track since loss to Eagles
Business Directory
By Mike Eddleman
When Mexia (18-4) traveled to Fairfield and opened district play with a seven-point loss, coach Tony Leamon seized the opportunity to make sure the bad taste left from the defeat made an impact on his team.
"We came out of Christmas and we were really flat and didn't have that same intensity we had before Christmas," Leamon said. "I think the Fairfield game woke us up and we realized we had to go back to work. Even though it wasn't fun losing to Fairfield and we didn't like it at all, it could have been a blessing in disguise because it woke us back up."
Since that loss, Mexia has won three straight games by 33, 47 and 48 points respectively, averaging a blistering 88 points per victory.
Senior guard Kaylon Watson didn't offer any magic formula for beating Fairfield Tuesday when the Eagles visit Mexia.

Happy Holidays from ASG!
As 2015 comes to a close and we celebrate the holidays, we're reminded of all that we have to be thankful for. We like to celebrate this time of year by giving back to our community by supporting two of our favorite charities: the Family Tree and the Food Bank of the Rockies.
This is our fifth year sponsoring a 'Giving Tree' for the Family Tree; they provide us with gift tags listing the recipients' genders, ages, and requested gifts, and then we fulfill those wishes. This year, we're proud to have collected 60 gifts.
We also collected donations for the Food Bank of the Rockies and raised nearly $1,600 against a goal of $750!
Thank you to our tremendous employees who provided these gifts and joy during this holiday season! And on behalf of everyone at ASG, I'd like to extend our thanks and gratitude to our customers, partners, and friends. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday and a fantastic New Year!

Thanks to the growing availability of smartphones, consumers are now able to access content from the web, regardless of whether they are on desktop computers at home or out shopping. This means content marketing efforts can reach on-the-go audiences.
According to a recent survey conducted by The Pew Research Center's Internet & Life Project, as many as 84 percent of smartphone owners access the web on a regular basis. From there, they have any number of options – 76 percent send or receive email, 59 percent access a social networking site and 15 percent log in to Twitter.
Consuming content is a regular activity of cellphone owners. More than half (51 percent) use their phones to gain access to information they need right away, while one-quarter (27 percent) have experienced a challenging situation because they couldn't utilize their phones to do what they needed.
The report highlights the fact that content marketing is no longer relegated to reaching at-home customers. With recent comScore data indicating that more than 69 million Americans owning smartphones, the internet is only a few taps away. Content marketing campaigns need to be planned with this in mind.

Creating Offers that Perform at Each Level of the Sales Funnel
The following is an excerpt from IMPACT's ebook, "How Successful Businesses Generate Leads from their Website." For more expert tips on boosting your website's lead generation, be sure to check out the full ebook.
Offers need to be created for each different level of the sales funnel – from the top of the funnel, to the middle of the funnel, and finally to the bottom of the funnel.
Each level of the funnel may require different tactics so that you are able to nurture your leads right along to the point of making a sale.
Think about it: we all begin by not knowing what a particular business does. There was a point in time when we were looking for service, yet didn't know exactly who to choose or how to go about finding one. What sort of processes did you go through to make your decision? What tactics did the business use to help:
a) get you to recognize that it exists?
b) draw you in enough so that you read up on them and check them out?
c) sell you their product or service?
Top of the Funnel
Though the top of the sales funnel isn't necessarily the most important part, without the top of the funnel you have no funnel. So how do you draw people in?
The best way to nab the attention of anyone is to create a call-to-action, otherwise known as a CTA.
If you want people to come to your site, then you've got to offer something that gets them to your site, your blog, or your landing page. There are a number of ways for
you to create a call-to-action, which we'll get into in just a few segments, but this is where you'll really be able to make use of your social media sites, forums, your blog, banners, PPC campaigns, and more.
Middle of the Funnel
The middle of the funnel is where further lead nurturing takes place. Your goal with the middle of the funnel is to give those who have come to your blog, your website, your landing page, etc., a better understanding of what your company, services, or products are all about.
This is also where it's a good idea to hook people up with your "free" offer. So let's say at the top of your funnel you offer up a free eBook on a topic that's related to your niche. The middle of the funnel is where you can then provide them with that free eBook, webinar, presentation download, or whatever it is that you offered, which is related to your niche and will help you promote your company.
The top of the funnel made a promise to give something to people who came to your site. Now the middle of the funnel is your opportunity to produce, to gain trust, and to gently advertise what it is that you have to offer.
Bottom of the Funnel
The goal of the bottom of the funnel is to really hone in on those leads who are ready to buy. When you make offers at the bottom of the funnel, you want to offer something more than a free eBook which people can take or leave at their choosing. You want to offer things that will get them into a bit of a commitment, like a free 30 day trial for your site, a 15 day demo, or a promotional offer like 50% off of your services or a free consultation.
Questions to Ask Yourself When Creating Offers at Every Level of the Sales Funnel
- Who are my primary customers? Separate them into their different industries, general traits, and decisional influences.
- What sort of challenges do your customers face? How are you going to address these challenges?
- Why is your solution unique? Is there some benefit you offer that no other company can match?
Once you know the answers to the questions above, you'll be able to start crafting compelling offers that your customers won't be able to refuse. It will take a bit of practice and a bit of testing, but in time and through use of such tools as the HubSpot Marketing Grader you will be able to create great offers.

Public has say on Kensington Woods
By Jo E. Prout
NEW SCOTLAND After three years of study, the Kensington Woods planned-unit development proposal is finally before the public, but only in its initial stages.
The proposal is for a clustered residential development of 169 units on 184 acres on Hilton Road, at the site of an abandoned country club and golf course and near an abandoned gravel mine. Nearly 83 acres would be preserved as open space, according to the updated proposal.
The planning board here, as the lead agency for environmental review of the project, determined in November that the draft environmental impact statement prepared by the applicant was adequate to be reviewed by the public. The board is only required to hold one public hearing for the DEIS, but Planning Board Chairman Robert Stapf said that the board would hold two hearings, on Dec. 3 and Dec. 30.
The project met with public disapproval when it first came before the town in 2005. At that time, the proposal was for a 282-unit development on 267 acres. The high-density project would have required a rezone in the area. A citizens' petition signed by 170 residents asked the town board then to change the zoning at the site, but to reduce the density to lots with a two-acre minimum.
"We certainly had an interested audience in the board" and the public, said Mary Elizabeth Slevin, the attorney representing applicant Garrison Properties, after the Dec. 3 hearing.
Slevin invited the board and members of the public to continue to comment on the DEIS, prepared by Lansing Engineering of Malta. The document is 2,500 pages long.
"The task was trying to understand the information," Slevin said about the document. The data required for the impact statement took two years to develop, she said. The town engineer then reviewed it for nine months, she said.
After the hearings, and once the planning board has accepted the DEIS, the project details will be laid out for the town. During that time, Slevin said, the applicant will present its subdivision cluster plan.
The project is to include 44 twin townhouse single-family homes, 72 moderately- to mid-priced single-family homes, 26 similarly-priced homes marketed toward families, and 27 mid- to higher-priced single-family homes, according to the Kensington Woods project narrative.
According to the narrative, the project would preserve nearly 45-percent of the site as open space. To do so, some of the proposed lots would abut neighboring property. The applicant will seek a buffer variance from the town, the narrative said.
"Long and arduous process"
Planning board member Kevin Kroencke told The Enterprise that only two members of the public attended the Dec. 3 hearing. He hopes that more people will come to the Dec. 30 hearing, he said.
Kroencke said that there is a question about the deadline for written comments. Some documents name Jan. 12, 2009 as the deadline, but board members also discussed Jan. 23 and other dates, Kroencke said.
The school district has already submitted comments. Other agencies and interested groups are also invited, or in some cases required, to give written comments, including the town and emergency service providers, Kroencke said.
Asked if the Kensington Woods project would be a good use for the site, Kroencke said, "I'll wait and see. Until we hear back from everybody, I'm not sure."
Kroencke said that he did not see trouble with the draft statement as presented.
"I certainly had questions," he said.
The New Scotland planning board does not have a policy favoring cluster developments over traditional developments with larger lots, he said.
Board members had questions about the additional traffic that would be created on Hilton Road, and a possible change in the speed limit in that area.
"Everybody's got questions," Kroencke said.
"This has been a long and arduous process," Slevin said. The applicant is looking forward to continuing with the project, she said.

No matter how much they may claim that killing is a "right" people who advance the culture of death do what those who want to kill with impunity always do: They obfuscate the language to hide the facts of what they are doing from the world at large — and from themselves.
These twists and turns of ordinary language are not just an attempt to hide the truth of killing, they are also a form of justification. Thus, legalized medical murder becomes "death with dignity," abortion becomes a "choice," and embryonic stem cell research is the only hope for "miracle cures."
In every case of legalized killing, the object of language is no longer to accurately communicate and facilitate analysis and thought. It is used instead as a tool to confuse, delude and shut off an accurate assessment of the situation by hiding the facts of it in plain sight.
The video below pokes a few holes in the language obfuscations of abortion by simply taking the obfuscating language of "choice" out of the vacuum of political debate and putting it in normal contexts.

I've been developing PHP based websites for about 2 years now but I'd like to start learning ASP.NET as well. As a PHP developer I have a good understanding of programming fundamentals including developing Object Orientated / MVC based web applications.
I've looked into ASP.NET and see that there are 3 main ways of using it: 'Web Pages', 'Web Forms' and 'MVC'. From what I can gather the first two are more primitive, does this mean I should ignore them or are they still something I need to be learning?
I also don't know any C# yet. Is this something i'll 'pick-up' during the course of learning ASP.NET or should I make an effort to learn this in it's own right?
I'm sure there is no 'right way' of doing it, but i'd like to hear how others went about it. At the moment i'm just not sure where to start!
Learning C# while learning the fundamentals of ASP.NET should be a good place to start, as well as starting with MVC instead of Web Forms. Web Forms is more tailored for desktop applications in my opinion.
Quick question, do you plan on working for someone else/job, or work on your own?
I'll go from there.
C# and .Net are different. ASP.Net can be picked up easily as there is Microsoft Visual Studio now that prompts the code. Go through a few docs. on the net and simultaneously do it practical and i guess u'll pick up. Or you can opt for a short course to learn from.
