If you access the site through a university JISC subscription or through IP authentication (single-network subscription) where the user can not be individually recognised you will be unable to make any posts to the site and you will not be shown any menus to do so. You can however still make posts by taking out a user registration.
Go to www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking
To start a blog you need to be either a subscriber to a-n or a registered user. Subscribers have access to the full range of a-n resources and services. Registered users can contribute to a-n's 'unedited' features but do not get access to any of the subscriber only resources.
- Already a subscriber or registered user? Login by entering your Username and Password.
- Not yet a subscriber or registered user? Go to www.a-n.co.uk/subscribe
- Click on Projects unedited tab at the top of the page. Scroll down and click the Start a blog tab on the right hand side. This will open up a new page with blank fields labeled Blog title and Personal link identifier.
- Complete as many of the fields in the form as you can - they are designed to explain to the reader what your blog is about.
- Agree to the terms of use (you will be unable to publish your blog without doing this).
- Save your blog by clicking Save and preview.
- When you are happy with your blog click Publish blog.
Your blog is now live.
I have started a blog but can't see how to add posts to it.
Assuming you have logged in and navigated to the blog pages:
- Under "Have your say" (in grey right-hand column) click "My blogs"
- Click on the name of your blog (in main column)
- Under "This project blog" (in grey right-hand column) click "Add a post"
- Enter your post and Save
How can I add an image to the blog introduction?
You can't directly. But you can add up to five images to each of your subsequent posts. The last image you add to your posts is the image that shows next to the blog introduction. In this way the image is constantly refreshed as you add new images to your posts.
How do you add images to the posts?
Assuming you have logged in and navigated to the blog section:
- Under "Have your say" (in grey right-hand column) click "My blogs"
- From the main column click the post you want to add an image to
- Under "This post" (in grey right-hand column) click "Add image"
- Upload image from local hard-disk - it will be sized automatically
- Enter image caption details
- Save image
How do I receive email notifications when new comments are added to my blog?
From www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking go to My blogs.
- Click Manage my blogs and select the blog you want to alter.
- Click Edit blog intro.
- Scroll down to Email notification and click [ ] Enabled.
If you no longer want to receive notifications click [ ] Disabled.
We are two artists, doing a collaborative piece. How do we start a blog to which we both can contribute?
Register with something like First name : (one person's names) & Last name : (other person's names).To register in this way you must not login first under any existing account. And you must use a new username. And then you share the login - it won't say which one of you submited each post but you can add at the top or bottom of each post something like "Posted by: (initials)". The only other issue is that the system allows only one email address to send notifications of added comments - you could set up a free web-based email account that you can both share solely for this purpose.
I have received an email notification about a comment posted on my blog but it has not appeared on the website.
Email notifications are automatically sent when a comment is published. However the comment writer may rethink what they have written and delete their comment before the blog writer has had the opportunity to view it.
If I delete my blog can I retreive it if I change my mind?
No, if you choose to delete your blog it will be deleted from the website database and cannot be retreived.
Using the Unpublish option is safer as this removes the blog from public view, but it remains on the website database for you to access or re-publish it again if you want to.
How do I create a personalised URL link to my blog?
From www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking go to My blogs.
- Click Manage my blogs and select the blog you want to alter.
- Click Edit blog intro then Personal link identifier.
- Type in the word you want to appear at the end of the URL (for example if you enter joe_bloggs, your personalised link would be www.a-n.co.uk/link/joe_bloggs
- Click Save and preview.
The personalised URL link I am using goes to the Artists talking home page rather than to my blog.
The program running the website treats URLs in a case sensitive way (it regards A as different from a) - check that your link and your personal identifier are exactly the same.
When I first started my blog I decided to not allow comments but would now like to change this - how?
After you have created a blog you can still amend these settings by going to My blogs and select the blog concerned and then click Edit blog intro. There are two settings - whether or not you want to allow comments and whether or not you want to receive email notifications of any comments added.
Note: If once comments have been added to your blog - you can not turn them off again.
I've started a blog and can't see if there is a way to be notified when comments are posted and whether I can reply?
When you create a new blog there are options to set whether or not you want your blog to be open to comments and whether or not you want to receive email notifications whenever someone adds a comments. After you have created a blog you can still amend these settings by going to My blogs and select the blog concerned. Then click Edit blog intro.
Note: If comments have already been added to your blog - you can not turn them off.
How do I add video to my blog?
Videos must be hosted by an external source such as YouTube » or Vimeo »
You need to register for a free YouTube account in order to upload content. YouTube automatically converts your video files into Flash and provides you with the Video embed code (HTML code) required to upload video to your Projects unedited blog.
Once your video has been uploaded to YouTube or Vimeo click Embed link which will provide you with the Video embed code.
Go to www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking and click My blogs.
- From Manage my blogs select the blog you want to add video to.
- Click Add a post.
- Scroll down the page and click Add video.
- Enter the Video embed code along with a description of your video.
- Click Save and preview.
Have you any plans to add an audio option to your site?
We hope to be able to do this in future.
I have updated my online profile but it didn't go live.
1. You can have a generic profile that will be the default for all articles you post on the site. This is the profile in Join in > My account > My online profile
2. When you post an article you have the opportunity to use a profile that can be tailored specifically for that one article. This setting can be found in the add and edit functions for the Blog intros. This article-specific will only be shown alongside that particular article.
3. The above add or edit tool contains an option which allows you to copy the article-specific profile to your default profile, ie the one in Join in > My account > My online profile. This will then be shown alongside all articles you have made except for those that you have added an article-specific profile.
I have just started a blog and put two posts on but they are not appearing on the website.
If you don't see you blog on the website it's likely that you haven't yet published it. You need to publish the publish the blog intro before it along with each of its published posts appears on the website.
1. Log in and go to: http://www.a-n.co.uk/artists_talking/projects/myProjects
2. Click the blog
3. Click Publish blog from the user control panel on the right
To remove your blog from the website, simply login to www.a-n.co.uk go to the Artists talking page. Then select 'My blogs' which is located in the menu on the left hand side. This will open up your blog posts, select the blog heading at the top of the list. You will then be taken into a different screen and from here select 'Unpublish blog' on the right hand side of the screen.
Using the Unpublish removes the blog from public view, but it remains on the website database for you to access or re-publish it again if you want to.

Cyclops actually questions "the white queen showing her true colors" in the ANXM#4 preview?? Oh BOO!
C'mon "writer"! They JUST ended things and I like to think these ADULTS wouldn't immediately turn to "it must be my EX, messing with my mind!" garbage. Lame!
Also... I don't have any problem with Cyclops's stance regarding "responsibility".A lot of people seem to think he's being wishy washy and/or indecisive about his role in all of this but...I just don't see it.
He says "I take full responsibility" to all the necessary authority figures (Cap, Wolverine, The Avengers, The US Govt. etc) because thats what they need. They need to put a face to all the chaos. Someone to blame. And Scott offers himself, willingly, because despite all the unfortunate events that transpired, the mutant population was still restarted, so the costs were worth it.
But he also acknowledges, (as evidenced in Gillen's Uncanny when we got his inner monologue stuff) that he wasn't, at times, capable of discerning what was happening or what was real. He wasn't fully in control of his actions. He was a vessel at that point, drifting in and out of awareness. Despite that realization, he still agrees to be the "face to blame" for those who seek it. He's taking responsibility for everything he's done (establishing Utopia, creating the Extinction Team, putting mutants first, battling the Avengers, working outside the government, etc etc) and he's even willing, at this point, to shoulder the burdens caused during his possession (such as killing Xavier and attempting to destroy/recreate the planet).
He's not wishy washy, or back peddling.
He's pragmatic.

Nick Rahall (D, West Virginia) and the carbon tax.
This ad from the American Energy Alliance against Congressman Nick Rahall is not precisely subtle: …which does not mean that it's incorrect. Basically: in 2013 Rahall voted for the Progressive Caucus's budget amendment. Said amendment relied on a carbon tax; carbon taxes are bad news to West Virginia coal miners, given that you tax things when you don't want more of it; and Nick Rahall | Read More »

How to record affiliate videos
From Mark Ling: Hello, everybody. You're listening to Mark Ling, and in this video we're going to look at how to record affiliate videos. The first thing we want to look at is why record an affiliate video?

That's all well and good, and you can make great sales through email marketing directly to a web page. I do it all the time. You can make great money from your regular affiliate pages having no video on the page at all. However, sometimes video can help serve a few extra functions. One is it brings a bit more of a degree of realism to the promotion being made. People can actually hear your voice if you're recording a video that's not PowerPoint slides. Let's say you're in front of the camera, they can even see you in front of the camera and that can b

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Views: 326
Will there be a Android version available soon?
I don't think my touch is new enough to run it. But I have friends with the I phone4 that would jump on it if I told them it got good reviews.... but like Josh we will play more then 6 in a group from time to time. You should up it to 8 or 10, remember there are millions of discgolfers and only around 40,000 living PDGA members, so your target audience shouldn't be PDGA players.
Just sayin.
Not to hijack the thread but.... This is what I see the major problem with the PDGA is, when it comes time to make a decision the PDGA caters to the few instead of the masses.
While I understand you are the ruling body over tournament/competitive discgolf, that should not be your main concern when creating stuff you plan on marketing to the public.
Is there an additional fee for non-members? LOL, j/k.
I am a member just not active, and I know what you do for the discgolf community Chuck and we appreciate it , so don't take this personally.
Just thought I would touch on the subject.
I don't think we want to encourage groups over 6 to play even in rec rounds, especially slowing play by keeping score. PDGA players play rec rounds, too, and don't want big groups in front of them. Ball golfers would laugh even talking about 5 let alone 6-somes.
But seriously, the way the screen is set up, six players provides the maximum use of screen space for easily and quickly seeing players and scores. I don't think it's wise to compromise the quality of the app for most people to accommodate bigger groups than should be playing at one time. I'll submit the request but I doubt it will be as high of a priority as including other features that need to be added to deal with several course issues it doesn't handle yet.
I understand, if its a matter of ease of use/viewing it's for the better. I just thought if it was purely a matter of the PDGA rules influencing the final product the PDGA would be doing itself a diservice by limiting players. but that does make sense.
I ball golf and we often play 5-6 people groups during twilight, but we never finish, and we know it's against the "rules".
at twilight, you'd probably be better off with two groups of 3 for ball golf. much faster pace of play. #jussayin
same with disc golf.
i don't care about big groups on the disc golf course. that's always been part of the game, and as long as people are conscious of their largeness, then it can be manageable.
if i see 5-6 people in a group at the ball golf course, i'm telling them to take a hike; however, if no one's out there and you're taking your time on a twilight round, no problem with more than the standard 4.
the same can be said about disc golf. if the course is wide open, have a group of 30. if you're keeping score for a rated round, you're probably taking plenty of time to analyze every shot and making sure you're not distracting anyone else while they're shooting, so a group of more than 4 is too much. heck, i was out behind a group of 3 (obviously a serious round, or at least i hope it was, because it was a sight-to-be-seen) today that held up 7 groups in 5 holes. they let a couple groups pass on a hole, and held up my group and the other 10 behind us that stacked up over the next 7 holes. we left after that.
relating back to the functionality of this app and the point: if you're keeping score for a rated round or keeping score at all, you're probably good and focused, which takes time. there's nothing wrong with that, but a group of more than 6 would be crazy. more than 4 is too much. this app should be fine, and if it's not, you should probably put your phone away and be respectful of the congested holes behind you.

The other day a student from the Process of Magic class told me that she was working on the first homework assignment, which asks the student to tell me what their definition of magic is and why they've chosen that definition. She'd answered the first part, but asked me: "Why do you ask why?" I quipped "Why not" but then proceeded to explain why the question why is so important not only in magic, but in any subject you are trying to learn. In my opinion, if you can't answer the question why it indicates that you don't understand what you would be explaining to the person. For example, going back to the question of why a person has chosen a particular definition of magic, simply offering the definition isn't enough, if s/he can't explain how s/he arrived at that definition of magic. When you define something like magic, you are either defining it based off your personal experience, using someone else's definition, or a combination of the two, wherein your experiences seem to confirm the definition that someone else has offered.
One of the problems I have with how the average occultist or pagan defines magic is that all too often the definition offered is someone else's. Crowley's definition of magic, for example, is often used to explain what that person conceives of as what magic is. The problem, in my opinion, is that there is a tendency to accept this definition without asking why. The same applies to any other definition of magic that is offered up without the person questioning the definition. A definition of magic, or anything else for that matter only really becomes relevant when you can explain why that definition is important to you, in context to your own experiences. Simply expressing what something is doesn't demonstrate true understanding of it, until you can explain why the definition is meaningful to you.
Another reason to ask why is that why necessarily helps you to uncover the positives and negatives of a given definition. Any definition brings with it the baggage and agendas of the person who created the definition. Thus when we use another person's definition we are also using all the associated baggage and agendas that come with that definition. Asking why allows you to examine a given definition carefully and explore what makes it what it is, and ask whether that really fits your needs. Definitions are ultimately words used to describe how something ought to work and/or exist, and as such they are far less tangible then we sometimes think. A definition of magic is ultimately just words used to describe how you think magic ought to work...so why not ask why and actually test the definition to see if it has any validity to it. By doing so you can determine if the definition really applies, or if you need to develop one of your own that better fits your experiences....
What would be a good way to introduce this concept to my children? With so many "traditional" beliefs out there it's sometimes dif

Here is an ample five kilo sack of Calasparra Rice to serve the needs of all rice lovers. This centuries-old strain of short-grain rice is unique due to its leisurely maturing process: it grows 30% slower than other rice types. This longer growing cycle produces rice kernels that are exceptionally dehydrated - ready to absorb even more of the tasty sauces and flavors of paella broth and other Mediterranean rices like arroz negro and arroz con pollo.
Calasparra rice is grown in the mountains of the Province of Murcia in Spain, where it enjoys pure mountain water irrigation, unlike the usual rice fields by the ocean. Each bag is individually numbered at the farm. This rice is totally free of all pesticides and herbicides, and in fact no chemicals of any kind are added during processing.
Average Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 based on 6 reviews

Renato S. - Las Vegas, NV "Excellent Paella rice. Complements abound when served to my guest during my frequent paella parties.
I remind my friends that true paella is only made with this type of rice.
Calasparra paella rice gives more bang for your money!"
David Kuhnle - Silver City, New Mexico "I cannot imagine making paella without this rice.
It absorbs the broth better than any other rice I have tried. It cooks quickly and has a great flavor."
Danielle - Countryside, Illinois "Excellent quality rice, very fair price."
Carla - Hazleton, Pennsylvania "The first time I made paella I used the rice I had handy. It turned out okay. I ordered this rice and made it for the second time. I got so many compliments on the dish. This rice makes such a difference. I also used the paellera seasoning, I think these two ingredients are a must for paella."
Rhonda "This is the very best rice for perfect paella"
Matias "This rice is great for paella. The large 5kg size is also the best deal."

Welcome to General Education Advising
Winston-Salem State University knows that you have a lot of questions to ask and decisions to make about what courses to take and eventually what majors to pursue. Therefore the university provides you with a group of advisors who will assist you in making good decisions about your educational experiences.
Faculty Advisors
First and foremost in line to help you are your academic advisors. You will meet your general curriculum advisor early in the orientation process. This faculty member is going to talk with you about your interests, your goals, the courses you took in high school, and then will help you pick your first set of courses. Your faculty advisor may or may not be in the academic discipline where you ultimately decide to major but they will be knowledgeable about the general curriculum and the courses you need to take before entering an academic major (these are called pre-requisite courses throughout this webpage and the academic catalog). Sometime during your sophomore year, and after you have decided on a major program, you will be introduced to your major program academic advisor. This faculty member will help you navigate the requirements for the major and graduation and assist you in locating additional opportunities for learning and experience related to your major field. Faculty advisors know the curriculum. Go to your faculty advisor when you need help working through decisions about courses, majors, graduate school, and careers.
Academic Advising Center Advisors
Advisors in the university' advising center will assist you with identifying academic and other support services, check in with you to make sure you are making good academic progress, assist you in working with the business processes at the university, and serve as a backup should you need advice when your academic advisor is unavailable. You will meet them the first day you are on campus during orientation. They know how things work on campus so go to them when you need help with a process.
Supplemental Advisors
You may also have additional advisors who help you through the requirements of special programs such as Honors and being an intercollegiate student-athlete. Two professional programs, nursing and education, have a secondary admission process in order to enter the major. These programs have advisors that work with students to make sure that they take the necessary pre-requisite courses, take advantage of special support services, and meet the other requirements required to apply to the programs. Your faculty advisor or Advising Center advisor will be able to help you find these supplemental advisors and services.
The menu on the left side of the page will help you locate resources and forms to use as you plan your academic pathway towards graduation.

We stayed here again for Columbus Day weekend (Halloween weekend). Great time as usual. Excellent haunted house and Halloween activities. Always lots to do for young and old. The golf carts seemed to be more controlled this year, maybe they took everyone's advice. They even stop all vehicle traffic (including golf carts) during trick or treat time, and it`s enforced! We are already booked for next year. Can`t wait!

Very nice campground with paved roads, perfect for bike riding. We had a lakefront site on the main lake, very level and grassy. Electric was good. Large heated pool and nice mini golf. This year was our 4th year and we will be back again next year. Always a great and relaxing time. Access at back of campground to the Rock River and a dirt, bike/golf cart trail. Also boat launch access.

We stayed here again the end of July. We were here last year too at the same time (see review immediately below). This time we were on the lake side of the campground. This side is extremely tight! Hookups were good. The only issue is the dump station is in the other campground on the other side of the highway, kind of a pain to drag the gray water tote across the highway. The area is all sand, so you better love sand if your in the area. Lots to do in the area, and the town is within walking distance from the campground. For the price it was a decent stay.
Bristol, Indiana
Eby's Pines Campground
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed at this park on our way back from Cedar Point to stop in and check out the RV/MH Museum in Elkhart. We arrived on Thursday and the park was empty and quiet. We had a pull through which was OK, but nothing special. The pools were chilly, but warmer than other pools we`ve been in. Overall everything was taken care of. This park just didn`t have the OHH, AHH that others talk about. I would probably not stay again, only because it didn`t have that warm feeling I get from nicer campgrounds.
Sandusky, Ohio
Cedar Point Resorts Camper Village
[ 10/10 ]
Absolutely the best campground/Resort we`ve stayed at. I will say this place is nicer than Fort Wilderness!!! We stayed in the Lighthouse Point section the week after the 4th. The pull throughs required absolutely no leveling, just drop the jacks and your done. Perfect setting with views and sounds of the Roller Coasters and other rides. Hookups were perfect and cable worked great with at least 60-70 stations. If there is anything negative to say, it is that the check in is very slow, and the camp store doesn`t offer much for the RV`er. They offer very little in the way of food and more souveniers, but that is all forgotten after 5 minutes in the campground. We will definitely stay here again!
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park
[ 6/10 ]
We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. Upon arrival this looks like a beautiful campground. When you pull in everything is well taken care of perfect. The only downside are the sites. They could use some attention. They are all gravel which is no problem, but the grass is half weeds and just looks run down. Hookups were OK and had no issues. If they spend some money on the sites and make them look more appealing, this place would be perfect. They just need some attention to detail throughout the park. I would stay here again.
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Yogi Bear's Camp-Resort
[ 7/10 ]
This campground is OK. I have great memories of staying here when I was a kid. We were here back in 05. And I don't remember the highway noise being as bad as it was! The full hookup sites are somewhat tight, but being at an angle your door opens to the areas behind the RV's which is a very open "common" area and are kind of private. The kiddie water play area is nice for younger kids and the the water slide and pool will hold the older kids over till you go to the big water parks in town. Sites are fairly level, with mine requiring about 2" of boards under my tires to level. Hookups were good and worked great. All in all, a nice kid oriented campground close to all the Dells attractions.
Spring Green, Wisconsin
Wisconsin Riverside Resort
[ 8/10 ]
We were here for Memorial Day weekend. Very nice campground located right on the Wisconsin River. We had a River front site which was really just a slough leading to the river, still nice though. Most of the campground is paved which keeps the dust down. They have a very nice lodge with a bar and small game room. The owners have put a lot of money into the campground and it shows. Nice newer heated pool with kiddie splash area. And newer shower/bathhouse up front. They also offer canoe/kayak/tube livery service. So no need to get back in your car once you're there. Very close to House On The Rock, and downtown Springreen is very nice. We would definitely go back again.
Mears, Michigan
Silver Lake State Park
[ 5/10 ]
This is the first time we have ever stayed at a state park. It was how I expected it to be. Not much other than a place to park the trailer and have a fire, nothing special. No grass, all dirty sand. We were on the other side of the road away from the lake. The rangers would do there usual walk around. Nothing more than just a presence to be seen. Within walking distance to town and attractions. Only a short drive to the sand dunes. Next time we go we will probably stay in a full service campground even though it may be $20 more a night. Very fun area!
Middleville, Michigan
Indian Valley Campground and Canoe Livery
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed here over Memorial day. It`s an OK campground. We had a full hookup site. The hookups were in good shape. Was a little on the tight side for getting into, but OK. Most sites are shaded. No full hookups along the river. Not a lot to do here except for canoeing on the river which was fun, kids had a blast! They have an indoor pool which is small. It would be nice to also have an outdoor pool. They have a small minigolf which is run down. The space would be better served as an outdoor pool. We would go back again if in the area.
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Holiday Shore Campground and Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This is a decent park that caters to boaters. We had a pull through which is in a new section at the back of the campground. We had to weave (literally) through the very tight campground to get to our site. Doable for me, but maybe not for some. It would be better if they gave you the number for the seasonal gate for large rig entry. (We are 55 feet from front bumper to trailer bumper!) Hookups were nice and pull throughs were level and long. Beware that the full hookup sites have no shade at all. We were here over the 4th and there was a heat wave. The whole time it was 100 degrees almost every day! Our A/C struggled during the day to get the trailer down to 85 degrees. They have a small arcade with a couple of games. Small pool for the size campground. They need to add another pool for the size of this place. They do give anyone staying 3 days or more free passes to Chula Vista Hotel and indoor/outdoor water park just down the road. I would stay again and probably also rent a boat for the day.
Blue River, Wisconsin
Eagle Cave Resort
[ 7/10 ]
We were here in January with the scouts. in the winter they allow scouts or youth groups to camp in the cave. the kids have a blast camping and exploring in the cave. in the summer they have guided cave tours. They have the best food I have ever had at a campground, pancakes and sausage in the a.m., home made Sloppy Joe for lunch and some of the best fried chicken and mashed potatoes I have ever had for dinner. The campground itself is older, it has been open for tours for over 100 years and the campground opened after that. The campground itself is OK. I took a walk through it because it was nice out for a change. It`s a little tight, I think I could stick my 35 foot travel trailer in about 4 of the sites the rest are good for about a 25 footer! Hookups looked to be in good condition. One side of the campground looks over a nice valley, beautiful setting! The have canoe trips down the close by Wisconsin River and the longer trips they cater the food from the campground to the stops along the way. The campground does have a small mini golf course, and they are talking about putting in a pool in the next year or two. The bathhouse was kept up with pretty good considering the number of people that are using it. it does seem dirty, but I think that is because it is older and gives it that dirty feeling. All in all a nice family run campground in the middle of WI.
Trenton, Georgia
Lookout Mtn. / Chattanooga West KOA
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here for 1 night on our way back from Florida. A little off the beaten path for what we were looking for, a quick overnight stop. Turned out to be the perfect setting! It was off season, but still had a bunch of people for the weekend. Our site was not really level but that is a non issue for me as I have leveling blocks and I expect to do some leveling, still not to bad. Site was long and 2 separate hookups for different length rigs. Cable worked great. Owner turned on the jumping pillow for my kids, very nice owner/people, gave me info. for the area and a menu for the local restaurant that would deliver to your site. The bathrooms were amazing, very clean! The store looked like it would be pretty well stocked in season, it was out of season but they still had the essentials and a nice sitting/reading/TV area. The pool was closed, but looked clean and pretty big for a smaller campground which would be a welcome change compared to some small pools at larger campgrounds. The views were great! we would stay again if in the area.
Lake Buena Vista, Florida
Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground
[ 8/10 ]
Well I have mixed reviews of this campground. Great time at this very clean, big campground. We were in the 200 loop. Close to the outpost and bus stop. Only a couple of negatives. The path to the outpost also has golf cart traffic, kind of a pain to constantly have to step off the trail to let the carts go by. The other issue is the music from the outdoor movie theatre. It's very loud even with the AC on and we were a ways away! They do have cable TV, but about 6 out of the 10 channels are Disney info related. Now we don`t need cable, but when you get back from a park at night it would be nice to watch something other than what I just came back from! Otherwise it's a very clean, friendly campground with lots to do if you don't do the parks. Make sure you bring everything you need as everything is expensive, and it is a ride to get to any major store. We would stay here again.
Stone Mountain, Georgia
Stone Mountain Park Campground
[ 9/10 ]
We stayed here for one night on our way to Disney. Very nice clean campground with beautiful surroundings. We had a pull through that did not require any leveling. Hookups were good. Campground staff was very friendly and helpful. If in the area we would stay here again.
Hillsdale, Illinois
Sunset Lakes Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Stayed here again for Labor Day weekend. It rained all day sat. The nice thing was on sun. The ground was dry, great drainage! We had a lakefront site. The campground is nice with all paved roads. Paddle boats and canoes were included in fee. Park is well taken care of. Due to the rain we found that the very small (for the size of the campground) game room needs to be bigger! We have reservations for next Labor Day already.
Amboy, Illinois
O'Connell's Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Camp-Resort
[ 8/10 ]
Very nice campground. Always something for the kids to do. Great "street dance" on Saturday night. Very nice hike around the lake. The pools were crowded, but were manageable. The water slides were good, the kids loved them. All in all a nice campground close to Chicago.
Mackinaw City, Michigan
Mackinaw Mill Creek Camping
[ 8/10 ]
We stayed here over the 4th of July weekend. It is a very nice campground 2 miles from Mackinaw City. The only issue we had were the directions to the site; it would be nice to have someone escort you to your site. We had a back in site which was very large and all gravel. Hookups were setup perfect. the campground is very large and big enough to take long walks or a nice bike ride. The beach area was OK, a bit murky due to the boat launch keeping the debris in the area. the other side of the launch is nicer, but with small rocks and some sandy areas and only ankle to knee deep. The store is well stocked and the arcade has just enough to keep kids busy. The pool was very nice and heated. The only negative is that the garbage is all the way up front, that is a long walk carrying a bag of garbage. a daily garbage pickup like other campgrounds have would be nice! All in all a nice place. If we ever make it back to the area we would stay here again.
Plymouth, Wisconsin
Plymouth Rock Camping Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Very nice campground! We were given sites at the extreme back of the park, the newest section. Very long, back in sites with a gravel pad. These were seasonal sites that were vacated and they used them for weekenders. The odd thing is we did have sewer hookups, the sewer was a 3 or 400 gallon holding tank half buried in the ground. It was a non issue and we had no smell from it. They say in the next year or so they are going to tie into the parks sewer system. We also had cable TV hookup which worked great. The park was very busy, but you really didn`t notice it. Our neighbors were seasonals and were very friendly, they offered us some of there firewood if we ran out, very nice people, some of the nicest we`ve met. The facilities were all nice, very clean the couple of times I used the bathroom when out riding with the kids. Speaking of which bring a bike: a good one! This is a big park and very hilly. Going to the front was a workout, the ride back was a relaxing coast downhill. They had a country band on Saturday night: very good. All in all a very nice park that we would stay at again if in the area!
Cave City, Kentucky
Jellystone Park Camp Resort
[ 7/10 ]
This is an OK campground. We used it for a day and a half stay to see Mammoth Cave. They have a pool and a water slide. The slide was included for the guests which is a nice change. However they closed the pool twice in the middle of a 100 degree day because there was some thunder off in the distance. They stated that is their policy. The pool then reopens after there's no thunder for a half hour! It did not storm until 5 hours later when a separate storm rolled in. Although this time when they closed it again it was necessary as there was lightning. Everything else was OK. We didn`t use anything else outside as it was too hot! Otherwise it was an OK place.
Cosby, Tennessee
Great Smokey Jellystone Camp-Resort
[ 10/10 ]
This is the nicest Jellystone we've been too! The owner is really nice and very friendly. He will escort you to your site and help you back in, which is a big plus considering it is a very tight campground. Even with our 35 feet of TT, 55 foot total length, we didn`t have any issues. The sites, along with the whole campground, is all gravel: no mud! We had a stream side site which was beautiful. There was always something for the kids to do. They even had a water fight Saturday afternoon: all the kids with waterguns on the hayride trailer and all the parents with buckets, hoses and water guns at their sites. It was a blast. The Wi-Fi worked great for the 5 days we were here. We had cable TV so I don`t now how good the standard TV reception is. The next time we are in the area we will go back!
Amboy, Illinois
O'Connell's Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Camp-Resort
[ 8/10 ]
This is a very nice campground within 2 hours of Chicago. Has nice grassy level sites, the pull throughs are nice and big so you're not on top of your neighbor. They have 3 pools that are fairly clean (we go a couple of times during the summer too). the cloudyness of the pools that some mentioned, is due to the chemical reaction between the chlorine and sunblock lotion, (I have a pool too). There are lots of activities for the kids. There is a very nice tent camping area back in the woods. Their Halloween weekends are great! The haunted house is excellent, better than most other haunted houses. All in all a nice campground for the Chicagoland area.
Woodruff, Wisconsin
Indian Shores Camping Resort
[ 9/10 ]
A very nice campground. We stayed here for the 4th of July weekend. Our site was in the circle with the lake view. They had someone show us to our site and helped me back into site #2 which had a cement pad. It was more than big enough to walk around the trailer with the slide and awning out. We had an OK view of the lake, a site farther down in the circle would have been a better view, but ours was OK. There was a total of 6 cement pad sites with lake views. Twp of which were down by the beach. These could be nice except you get the boat launch traffic, and due to the winds "DO NOT use your awinings! They have plenty of choices for sites, from wooded to open with a few trees. They have a small pool that we didn`t use, but it didn`t seem packed even for a holiday weekend. The beach area was OK, but being on the windy side of the lake all the debris would wash up on the beach, just sticks and such. It was rather rocky with larger pebbles. The restaurant was surprisingly excellent! The game room could use a little more room and a few more games, otherwise it was OK. This campground is older and they need to start adding to the park to keep up with the added sites. The drive into Minocqua, Woodruff is short. Obviously there's lots to see and do in the area. We actually found a nice secluded beach off of county road "D" that was picture perfect, I believe the name of the lake was Big Carr Lake. All in all, a nice campground, we will be back.
Utica, Illinois
Hickory Hollow Campground
[ 10/10 ]
Nice park that is located approximately 3 miles from Starved Rock SP. It's located just off of I-80. A clean well kept campground, with a clean pool and facilities. Has nice walking paths through the campground. The tenting area is separated from RV sites, which is a plus for the tenters. They have shaded and sunny sites. The road noise up front isn`t bad, just a light hum. if you don`t like any noise, then get a site in the back. We`ll definitely be back!
Brodhead, Wisconsin
Crazy Horse Campground
[ 5/10 ]
Well what can I say. We stayed here for 5 days, 806 and 807. I`ll have to agree with most others, it`s an OK campground with grouchy people running it. It is in need of lots of updating, the store has seen better days: I hope! They have a small heated pool which was nice for the week (Sun-Thurs). I can`t imagine how crowded it would be on a busy weekend. Their mini golf was OK, but hardly worth paying for. We watched the staff several times stop and tell people what they can`t do. They even went so far as to tell a group of kids playing ball in a field that it was time to stop playing (8:00pm)? One of the kids said, "It`s not quiet time yet!" I just smiled and watch the guy drive away. It would be much easier if they just told you what you could do. If they put as much effort in being nice to the guests as they do being grouchy they could have a decent place! Oh yeah, they do have quite a few permanent sites! Not seasonals, but permanent spots. It kind of takes away from the campground atmosphere. They did say they are trying to get rid of them, though. They did pull out a run down 80 foot single wide when we were here. All in all, this could be a nice campground with lots of updating and some good people skills, or new owners. We would go back for a short weekend, maybe!
Hillsdale, Illinois
Sunset Lakes Resort
[ 9/10 ]
This is a very nice campground. We had a waterfront site which was beautiful. All grass and no gravel! Paddle boats and canoes were included in the rate and were available whenever you want 8:00-8:00. Owner was very nice and escorted us to our site. The only reason I gave a 9 was that the pool was literally 65 deg.! it`s a small complaint, but if you are going to call yourself a resort then I don`t think a 75 deg. pool is out of the question. Otherwise I would recommend this place to anyone.
Hill City, South Dakota
Horse Thief Campground & RV Resort
[ 7/10 ]
We stayed here in '93 and again just recently in aug. '05. We loved this campground! The views were excellent, and you felt as though you were camping in the Hills and not just a field. The sites at the back of the campground (behind the bathhouse), which BTW is clean, are all gravel. The sites at the front have grass and were very nice. It is centrally located in the hills. Overall a nice campground I would recommend to anyone!
Mt. Carroll, Illinois
Timber Lake Resort
[ 10/10 ]
Very nice clean campground. Owner was very friendly and always helpful. Brandnew pool and bathhouses. We were here for Labor day weekend 07 and already have res. for Labor day 08! Great place!
Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin
Sherwood Forest Camping & RV Park

Pool was not the best! The kiddie pool had major cracks in it, not very safe! The place just looked run down and not very inviting. We stayed there in July of '03. No need to go back.
Millbrook, Illinois
Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Camp-Resort
[ 6/10 ]
Recently upgraded playground, plenty of activities for younger kids. during summer they have dances for older kids. very friendly staff. Seasonal's think the park is theirs! (as with any seasonal). A nice park within an hours drive of Chicago. The halloween weekends (3) are the best I've seen!
Warrens, Wisconsin
Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park
[ 8/10 ]
Big park with lots of things for kids both young and old. Very nice, well kept, very big, almost too big! This July '07 will be our 4th year. Security guards are kids and act as if they are real cops. Most times the staff are worse than customers with the golf carts. Golf cart is a must to get around park. Indoor water park is extra $$$ for anyone other than villas/rentals. Not right, since the campers helped this camp resort happen.
Butte, Montana
Butte KOA
[ 1/10 ]
We stayed here overnight only. Place was run down and generally a dump! Homeless out front with sign for money. Didn't really feel safe here! we will not stay here again!
Hill City, South Dakota

Very nice campground located right off needles highway. You feel as if you are really camping in the hills. Beautiful views all around you. Very nice staff and some of the cleanest bathrooms I've seen. We will stay here again.

Are You Fighting Mesothelioma?
We Want to Help.
If you have a diagnosis of mesothelioma, or if you have lost someone to this cancer, you have come to the right place. Contact us at 1.866.855.1229 or email us today for a complimentary consultation.
Mesothelioma is a relentless disease caused by a relentless fiber: asbestos. Known for its ability to withstand great heat, asbestos does great damage when its tiny fibers are either swallowed or breathed in.
To win the fight against mesothelioma you need a top-notch law firm whose qualities match the relentless nature of asbestos: tenacity, years of experience, deep resources, focus and the ability to take a case all the way through a jury trial and, when necessary, an appeal.
Baron & Budd's mesothelioma attorneys were among the first in the country to take on an asbestos-related case, almost 35 years ago, and our dedication to helping people fight has only increased over the years. Today Baron & Budd's team of dedicated mesothelioma lawyers works across the nation, winning many precedent-setting cases.
These are cases that our mesothelioma attorneys handled. You might think it's obvious but, sadly, the "business" of mesothelioma litigation has attracted many lawyers who have never set foot in a courtroom. Unlike Baron & Budd, these types of "marketing" lawyers merely advertise for cases and then send them to the highest bidder for handling. Read more about our case results.

7565 Kenwood Rd, Cincinnati, OH | Directions 4523639.199752 -84.381939
Sunday Brunch 10a-1:30p
Neighborhoods: Kenwood
Great. Great. Great. Good food and good service. – The food was excellent. The service was perfect. I was so pleasantly surprised with the soup. The vegetable soup was so good and the pizza is even better. I love to go there and I go there when ever i am in the area.
Just not worth it! – I will start with the positive. Good service, seated quickly and received the meal in a timely fashion. However, the rolls were not hot and hard as a rock. The glaze gave the steak more of a burnt taste then flavor. Then the topper was the bakery fresh cookies I odered to go. They were not bakery fresh. They smelled and tasted like they were burnt in a microwave. I could have had a better meal at Applebee's at a third of the price.
Rude treatment, disappointing food... a BAD time in the GOOD room – I have never been so rudely treated in a restaurant. We were seated and ordered food which arrived on oversized serving platters. This created a shortage of space on the table top (I ended up holding a basket of rolls!). When we asked for more space, we were asked if we had a reservation! All this AFTER we had ordered and were served. Staff showed no concern for the problem until we threatened to leave them AND their food ( which was very disappointing). We were moved to "the good room" ( it made us wonder where we were seated before.... "the BAD room" ? I insisted THEY move the food, which they did. Food, of course was cold. After "dinner" the manager returned to argue with us some more! Dinner was comped, but our evening was ruined. I will NEVER go back.
This upscale suburban eatery dishes up tasty American food in a casual atmosphere. – The Scene
The restaurant's pseudo-industrial interior is dressed with copper and black metal motifs, exposed pipes and Japanese accents. Dried flowers and exposed brick walls keep the atmosphere friendly. Starters include the baked goat cheese in pecan crust with field greens and tomato-basil relish. The smoked salmon pizza has a thin crust topped with Norwegian salmon, three cheeses and capers. Or try the creamy bow tie pasta flavored with aromatic garlic and tossed with wood-grilled chicken and fresh herbs.
Great romantic dinner – A recommendation of this place is easy....romantic atmosphere, prompt greeting and seating (with a smile), attentive staff, and the food is succulent...a great place to get away for a couple of hours and forget about the world outside.
Short story: A wedding anniversay couple was staying in the Embassy Suites in Blue Ash. After celebrating one dinner at Cascades Restaurant in the hotel, they were looking for another place to explore. I suggested Trio's. I called Trio's staff to let them know about this special couple...they helped me make an evening so romantic that the couple were completely taken aback! Thank you Trio's!!!
great fun resteraunt – great food great fun service, i love the atmosphere great wine list, able to accomidate large banquet style luncheons. new veranda is great, plus they just debut a new menu. some of the best bartenders in cincinnati! highly recomended A++++++
Vibrant and Satisfying – No snooze job here. Fun, attractive people enjoying themselves in a well serviced restaurant with great drinks, salads, good bread--too uncommon in Cinciannati--and delicious desserts. The banana cream pie warmed with a white chocolate topping is unique and highly recommended.

text: P.J. Griekspoor Archives Email Author Follow @P.J. Griekspoor Warm Weather Is Double Edged Sword For Wheat Farmers Kansas Viewpoint TV weathermen rave about 'nice' weather but farmers look at moisture loss with worry as wheat fields green up and ground cracks Published on: January 24, 2012 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print TV weathermen are on a nightly rant about how "nice" the January weather is as temperatures in the 50s and 60s continue to dominate the scene, with more of the same in the forecast for the end of the month. As we move toward February, we're nearing the end of traditional winter and farmers are watching wheat fields with trepidation. Moisture loss at this time of year is critical to wheat farmers and it is occurring in a serious way. South Central Kansas has received no rain or snow for almost 30 days. That's not unusual for the winter. And it wouldn't matter if temperatures were in the normal range of 20s and 30s. At those temperatures, nothing grows, including winter wheat. That's not true this year. Even as Kansas farmers watch their wheat fields green up and start to grow, they also see the ground crack open from lack of moisture, a worrysome reminder that the crop can only draw on very limited resources. Those same farmers are alarmed to see a proliferation of winter weeds in wheat fields as well as fallow fields as the temperatures allow for those cold-weather pests to get a big head start on spring. It's "nice" to walk out the door in a light sweater and hop into a car that doesn't need the windows scraped in the middle of January. It's also a reminder that this climate is NOT, NOT friendly to farmers.

Position Statement on Preparation of School Librarians
School librarians have a broad undergraduate education with a liberal arts background and hold a masters degree or equivalent from a program that combines academic and professional preparation in library and information science, education, management, media, communications theory, and technology. The academic program of study includes some directed field experience in a library program, coordinated by a faculty member in cooperation with an experienced school librarian. School librarians meet state certification requirements for both the school librarian and professional educator classifications. While there may be many practicing school librarians who have only an undergraduate degree and whose job performance is outstanding, the masters degree is considered the entry-level degree for the profession.
The graduate degree is earned at colleges and universities whose programs are recognized by appropriate bodies such as the American Library Association (ALA), the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), or state education agencies.

Searching for an Internship
How do I start looking for an internship?
Whether you are looking for a local, state-wide, national, or an international internship, the first step in your search is to talk with your professors, faculty advisor, Internship and Career Services staff, employers, friends and family members about your interests and career goals. Someone they know may be able to help you find an internship within their place of employment, through a colleague, or other professional contact. Networking can be one of the most useful tools during your search.
What if I don't know what kind of internship I want?
You are not alone! Many students find themselves in this situation, which is why we have a couple of tools to help you sort out what it is you are looking for in a meaningful internship experience. The tools below will help you assess your long-term career and life goals/values as well as your true interest areas. Completing these forms prior to meeting with our office is crucial in helping us help you find an academic internship.
Are there websites I can visit to search for internships?
Yes, below you will see links to E-link, Going Global, and many other sites to aid you in your search!
E-link is an online database that CSB|SJU students can use to search for opportunities such as internships, jobs, fellowships and undergraduate research. Searches are fast, simple, and there are a wide variety of options! Through this site, you can see full position descriptions, necessary qualifications, how to apply, as well as the contact information for each position. Faculty and Staff are welcome to access E-Link and view its contents as well. If you're having trouble accessing your E-Link account, please contact email@example.com.
Going Global provides information about world-wide job and internship opportunities. This website is updated daily and can be particularly useful if you choose to study abroad and also complete an internship abroad. International Students can also use this tool to find a list of companies in the United States who've previously sponsored H-1B Visas (and who might also be likely to sponsor a job or internship).
Students should be aware of fraudulent internships and scams that can be posted to internship databases (which can sometimes include on-campus resources like E-Link). CSB/SJU Career Services staff members monitor E-Link (but not others) to ensure legitimate companies and postings, but are challenged by unscrupulous individuals utilizing deceptive information to pose as legitimate organizations. Please review these tips to avoid fraudulent internship and job postings, but note that you should NEVER pay money as part of an application or testing process. Please report activity which seems suspicious to the site administrator.

- Capital Eye Opener, Dec. 14: Corker Ends Season With Most Leftovers, Koch Industries' Lobbying on Pace to Surpass Last Year's Level, and More, December 14, 2012 9:30 AM
Sen. Bob Corker finishes his race with a tidy $6.3 million in the bank -- though that's still a far cry from Sen. Richard Shelby's 2010 record of $17 million.
- Weiner Losing Democratic Support, For-Profit Schools Step Up Lobbying and More in Capital Eye Opener: June 9June 9, 2011 11:00 AM
Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) had a number of setbacks Wednesday as top Democrats called on him to resign, others returned his donations and a fund-raiser was postponed after he admitted he sent sexual photos to women over the internet.
- Blue Dogs and New Democrats Find Friends on Wall StreetNovember 17, 2009 9:45 AM
Like the health care reform debate, financial regulation legislation has divided members of the same party, opening a rift between liberal and moderate Democrats. But unlike the health care reform debate, where the moderate Blue Dog Democrats have been rabid in their opposition to a public insurance option, a different group has emerged to voice moderates' concerns over financial regulation -- but both are magnets for cash from the financial sector.
- Supporters of Moderate Republican in NY-23 Special Election Weigh Where to Place Their Loyalties After Candidate QuitsNovember 2, 2009 12:30 PM
With Republican Diedre Scozzafava ending her bid in for Congress and endorsing her Democratic opponent Bill Owens, Owens and Conservative Party nominee Doug are now vying to win over Scozzafava's supporters, including those who lent financial support to her campaign.
- Third Quarter Campaign Finance Reports Show Money Race Is OnOctober 16, 2009 5:50 PM
An initial Center for Responsive Politics analysis has found that sitting members of the U.S. House of Representatives raised $48.2 million from July 1 through Sept. 30, 2009, based on the 336 reports we have in. The mean amount these lawmakers raised was $143,640, and the median amount was $126,680.
- Embattled Lobbying Firm PMA Targeted Members of Defense CommitteesFebruary 12, 2009 1:55 PM
The close ties between Rep. John Murtha and a Washington lobbying firm raided by the FBI have put the powerful Pennsylvania Democrat under greater scrutiny. The lobbyists at PMA Group have been Murtha's fifth most generous campaign donor over time, but he is just one of 284 members of the 111th Congress who have collected money from the firm, which specializes in securing federal earmarks for its clients. In total, PMA Group's employees and its political action committee have given current members of Congress $3.4 million since 1989.
- Races to Watch VII: Where Cash Has No CompetitionOctober 2, 2008 3:21 PM
Like reading tea leaves, one way to predict how a congressional race is going to go is by looking at the disparity in fundraising between the candidates. So far this election cycle, 280 House and Senate incumbents on November's ballot have collected at least 10 times more than the opponent they face in the general election. In this installment of Races to Watch, Capital Eye looks into why some of these incumbents have been such successful fundraisers.
- Money and Votes Aligned in Congress's Last Debate Over Bank RegulationSeptember 23, 2008 11:43 AM
The last time Congress seriously debated how to regulate the financial industry, the result was legislation that allowed the nation's largest banks to get even larger and take risks that had been prohibited since the Great Depression. A look back at that debate, which was over the 1999 Financial Services Modernization Act, reveals that campaign contributions may have influenced the votes of politicians who, a decade later, are now grappling with the implosion of the giant banks they helped to foster.
- Lawmakers Divest Because of DarfurDecember 20, 2007 5:16 PM
Congress supported divestment from Sudan this week, but some lawmakers still have a financial stake in companies tied to the genocidal regime.

Six student journalists began their summer in The Star's newsroom Monday, the culmination of a year-long community journalism master's program at the University of Alabama.
"They're impressive," said Tim Lockette, The Star's state Capitol reporter, who coordinates the program for The Star.
"They've already done some interesting and clearly labor-intensive projects, so they're coming on board with a lot of skills already," he added.
Each of the student journalists has published a website tackling a particular issue and telling the stories of those involved.
Leah Cayson, a journalism graduate from the University of Mississippi, has taken on the issue of female body image with a project called "What is Beauty?"
Cayson, a 22-year-old from Fulton, Miss., served as a beauty intern at Fitness Magazine as an undergraduate.
"Whenever I was there, I just looked at the latest makeup trends, things for your hair and skin, and things like that," she said. "I enjoy those things, but beauty is more than that."
Cayson will cover public health while at The Star.
Madasyn Czebiniak, a 23-year-old from Rochester, N.Y., came to Alabama after graduating with a journalism degree from Purchase College, part of the State University of New York.
The program's focus on community journalism is a departure from what she's used to, she said, adding that in New York, the emphasis was on national and city news.
"Now that I'm in Anniston, it's small and very friendly and family oriented," she said. "I like it; I hope to learn and talk to different people."
Czebiniak will cover public safety for The Star; while at Alabama she focused on the crime of bicycle theft on campus while profiling the cycling community in Tuscaloosa.
Courtney Davies of Prattville entered the community journalism program this year after a break from the business. A 2009 graduate of the University of Alabama undergraduate journalism program, Davies said she left school and entered the job market as the economy declined.
"That's about the time the journalism bubble busted," she said. Davies tried for a while to freelance as a photographer and spent some time working in the family business, Montgomery Radiator Company.
"Then I just decided I didn't want to sell alternators anymore," she said.
The 26-year-old said sports initially drew her into photography, and her master's project suits that passion. She's been following motocross athletes, interviewing them about their lives and trying to convey them holistically rather than through the narrow lens of their sport.
She will work as a photojournalist in The Star's newsroom.
Debra Flax, 22, of Mountain Brook continues her journalism education at her alma mater. She comes from a military family and wanted to explore the military population at the University of Alabama while there. She profiled veterans, current service members and their dependents. She said her website allows the military students to connect with one another.
Flax, who worked with The Tuscaloosa News as a senior, said she loves the newsroom setting.
"Being in such a high-paced environment, it's good experience," she said. "You learn how to juggle, how to balance, how to organize."
For Sara Milledge, the community journalism program is a change of her plotted course. A history and Spanish major at Auburn, Milledge was set to continue as an academic before deciding she couldn't write academic literature forever.
"I loved writing history and I loved working the archives, so working with real people has been a big shock because people move and don't say what you want them to say, and archives are always there."
Milledge, who will cover culture for The Star this summer, has been working on a project on Piper Place, a community mental health facility in Bessemer.
Katie Turpen was an English major at Presbyterian College in South Carolina, but after graduating wasn't sure what she wanted to do with her degree. After a year volunteering, she decided journalism was a good way to make her writing skills marketable.
Turpen created a project called "Eating Tuscaloosa" aimed at connecting the university students with the community while allowing her to follow her passion for food.
The 24-year-old Birmingham resident has no journalism background and is looking to cure her introversion while at The Star, where she will cover development.
"I feel pretty comfortable with the writing aspect," she said. "But gaining reporting skills and all that comes with it ... is something I would love to take away from this."
On Monday, Lockette had the interns delving into pending legislation in the Alabama Statehouse. "They're already finding things that I've missed, so that's always good," he said.
Lockette said the the interns and a group of University of Alabama undergraduates have spent several months making public requests of Alabama school districts; they are looking into parents' complaints about school library books for each district in the state.
"I'm really hopeful that we're going to produce some great work this year," he said.

To be honest, I do not have any summer vacation plans on the horizon, for as the British would say, I'm skint, or in colloquial American, I'm broke. That does not mean I don't dream of a vacation, because I do. I've spent many a dull work day dreaming up where I would go and what I would pack, right down to my essential beauty supplies. So what makes it into my imaginary toiletry kit? Here's the run down of my top 5 summer vacation must-haves.
1) Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Towelettes
Why? - As a greasy girl, I suffer from the midday melt. Even if I'm not wearing makeup, around 2 o'clock my face starts to feel a little less than fresh and these wipes are a fast way to clean up. Plus I'm a little more laid back on vacation, less regimented (read: lazy), so at the end of the day the towelettes are a quick bedside fix for makeup removal.
Price - $5.99 for 30
Buy - Drugstore.com
2) Olay Fresh Effects BB Cream
Why? - Heavy foundation is a no-go for me in summer; the heat, face oil, and humidity break down foundation in a flash. Rather than go naked-face to my summer destinations, I opt for this lighter BB cream formula. The 2.5 oz tube will meet carry-on regulations, and the screw on top will keep the cream where it should be until you are ready to use.
Price - $14.99
Buy - Amazon.com
3) eos Lip Balm in Summer Fruit
Why? - Lip balm is always a must for me year round, and after discovering these totable eos lip balm spheres I will never carry anything else. So that makes this balm is a must pack for my (imaginary) summer vacay. The formula is lightweight, has a lovely flavor, and a delicious scent. Another plus is that this balm is 95% organic and 100% natural.
Price - $3.29 each or 2/$6
Buy - Walgreens.com
4) Benefit They're Real! Mascara Mini
Why? - For me, everyday is a mascara day, so having a mini-sized mascara that I can toss in my travel bag is perfect. This formula is terrific. I'm not a person who likes to spend a lot of money on mascara, but in my opinion this one is worth it. The brush is great at separating lashes, so the formula can catch and coat without clumping.
Price - $10
Buy - Sephora.com
5) Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment
Why? - There is never a good time for a breakout, but especially on vacation where there will be lots of photographs taken to preserve the memories. The thing I don't want to preserve is the memory of a gigantic zit on my nose. I use this formula to prevent and treat my breakouts, dabbing it on acne prone areas and hitting any current pimples I have 2-3 times a day with this lightweight gel.
Price - $6.49
Buy - Harmondiscount.com
Another must is sunscreen, and I am a huge fan of Elta's UV Clear SPF 46 formula for acne prone skin.
Tell me, where you are heading this summer? And what are you packing in your toiletry kit before hitting the road, sky or sea?

Although racing games have always been hugely popular, the genre has yet to leave a lasting mark on the Xbox Live Arcade. It seems like the only racers gracing Microsoft's download service are arcade ports (OutRun, Sega Rally) and advertisements masquerading racing games (Yaris, Crash Course). Just as I was about to give up on the XBLA, along comes SkyDrift and proves that you can make a digitally distributed racing game on the Xbox 360.
SkyDrift successfully marries elements from Mario Kart and Ace Combat, making for a fast-paced flying game with plenty of power-ups to lob at your opponents. You race through a bunch of incredibly detailed tracks in hopes of coming in first and getting the best times. Don't let the jets fool you; this is a traditional racing game through and through.
The truth is, this is hardly the first racing game to incorporate jets. Years ago Nintendo brought us Diddy Kong Racing, a Nintendo 64 cart that pitted airplanes against go-karts and hovercrafts. Digital Reality borrows heavily from Diddy Kong Racing's formula, creating an easily accessible arcade-style racer with top-notch graphics, online play and just enough content to keep you coming back for more.
The game's single-player campaign is split into seven different levels, each with four to six events to complete. There are three types of races in all, none of which will come as a surprise. There's a standard power race (where you race through two or three laps in order to come in first), a speed race (where you fly through hoops to gain speed) and survivor mode (where a timer counts down and eliminates whoever is in last place until nobody is left). You've seen all of these modes in countless other games, though rarely are you able to barrel roll your way through a tight gap next to an erupting volcano.
Just because you're piloting a fast-moving airplane, that doesn't mean that you can go anywhere and do anything. Each level has a defined course; complete with invisible walls that to ensure you stay on the track. Thankfully it's always easy to know where you're headed. A lot of the levels will have you racing between canyons, through tunnels and around other landscape that narrows the track. On the other hand, there are a few times in each race where the level will open up and give you room to maneuver. There are also hidden paths that will give you an upper hand on the competition.
Piloting the airplane is a breeze. Instead of getting to complicated, Digital Reality has kept SkyDrift as simple as possible. You hold the right trigger to go, push the "A" button for turbo and brake with the left trigger. If you've driven a car in a racing game, you'll feel right at home in an airplane. Instead of using an emergency brake, players will use the right analog stick to help bank to the left and right. Don't be intimidated by the different vehicle, I had no problem mastering the plane's unique handling in the very first race.
In most game modes there will be power-ups and weapons lining the course. Picking up these various items is the only way to attack your enemies, though players can choose to ditch the item for a small speed boost. The items are fairly standard for a kart racer, including missiles, electric blasts, shields, mines and so on so forth. Players have the ability to double up on each weapon, as well as hold two different items at the same time. Learning how to properly use these power-ups will mean the difference between coming in first and last.
The race locations are unbelievable, offering everything from snowy mountains to tropical islands to that erupting volcano I talked about earlier. In the Dam stage you'll have to fly around man-made buildings, while in other stages the only thing you have to worry about is nature. Sometimes the level will fight back, such as a building falling or a bridge collapsing above you. These changes to the level are fairly subdued, so don't expect anything along the lines of Split/Second.
Unfortunately there aren't nearly enough stages to keep SkyDrift from becoming repetitive. As far as I could tell there are only six different race tracks, all of which are introduced in the first few levels of the campaign. By the time the credits roll you'll have played every level multiple times, both forwards and backwards. Another two or three stages would have gone a long way to keep this game fresh from beginning to end.
On top of the standard single-player campaign mode, players can take SkyDrift online and play with up to eight people. At least, in theory you can. Sadly I have had very little luck finding players online. The few matches I have snuck into have been lag-free and just as competitive as I had imagined. But much like the campaign mode, I can see myself losing interest with only a few levels to courses through at any given time.
As a fifteen dollar game, it's hard to complain about the amount of content in SkyDrift. I spent the better part of five hours going through the campaign, and I'm not even close to getting first on every track. The online will extend the life, especially if you have friends to go up against. With its great presentation and action-packed level designs, SkyDrift is easily one of the best racing games for the Xbox Live Arcade.

Love this thread! My fav quickie gift of all time are fleece scarves. Just adjust the size to the size person you're making it for.
Super simple. Take a piece of fleece. I usually buy it in 1 yd pieces unless it's a really good sale. 1 yd not on sale runs about $4.50, but sometimes I can find it on the $1 rack. Lay on a flat surface & cut into strips (a rotary cutter with a backer works great for this if you have it). Take each strip & cut fringe into the ends. No need to hem because fleece does fray. Just make sure to get the fleece that is fuzzy on both sides. I get 5-10 scarves per yard depending on how wide I'm making them. If you like your fringe curled just start up near the top of each piece you cut (where it's still attached to the scarf) and pull firmly down, pinching it between your fingers.
My dad made something similar for my boys, only for screwdriver skills rather than hammering. He took a block of maple, drilled holes in it, and installed those steel screw-sleeve thingies - they keep the hole from stripping out when you screw a screw in and out repeatedly. Then he put 4 different screws in the block - standard, Phillips head, hex bolt, and hex socket (that you use an allen wrench to move).
Here's my knitted food:
And doll bassinet/purse:
I also ordered a blank game board kit (blank board, money, spinner, hourglass, etc. $7!) from Bare Books and bought some blank wooden peg people from Michael's so I'm making a family adventure game for ds.
Great stuff!
I love that purse/bassinet. Can you tell me what pattern it is?
Sure. I got it from knitlist:
There are a millon patterns out there for crochet bassinet purse, but this is the only one I could find for knit. It is much bigger than the crochet ones (maybe 6 inches and I used size 3 dpn instead of 6!) Plus, I changed the hood. The one in the pattern is flat and I wanted it to stand up so I basically knitted the heel of a sock onto the bassinet. If you actually decide to knit this, I can tell you how I did the hood, but if you've knitted a sock,you can probably figure it out.
Here's my knitted food:

DAHLONEGA, GA – The Peach Belt Conference
released the 2009 Men's Soccer Preseason All-Conference team
Thursday afternoon and Rade Tanaskovic and Ben Chedgy were named to
the team for the first time in their career.
The team was selected by the league's head coaches and, due to a tie at midfielder, features 12 players for 2009. Lander led the way with four players on the team while Clayton State, North Georgia, USC Aiken and defending PBC Champions Francis Marion had two apiece. Tanaskovic was honored as the only goalkeeper on the team, while Chedgy was one of three defenders selected.
Tanaskovic was named PBC Goalkeeper of the Week during the 2008 season, and was near the top of almost every goalkeeper Statistic in the Peach Belt Conference. He was first in saves with 87, 12 saves ahead of the second place goalie, sixth in goal against average, and second in save percentage. He led every freshman in the league in each major goalkeeper statistical category, including saves, save percentage, saves per game, shutouts, and shutouts per game. The freshman tallied five shutouts and had a goals against average of 1.55.
A First-Team PBC All-Conference selection in 2008, Chedgy led the Saints' defense that recorded four shutouts on the season, and allowed fewer than 10 shots per game. The sophomore played in all 19 games, starting 18 of those as a defender. Chedgy logged 1347 minutes, more than any other position player on the team.
The Saints will open the regular season on the road at Florida Southern and St. Leo University before returning home for three straight home games against Erskine College, Nova Southeastern, and Tampa University.
North Georgia opens the Peach Belt Conference portion of the 2009 schedule on the road at USC Aiken on September 12, before returning home to face Lander University on September 26. Trips to Clayton State, Francis Marion, and Montevello round out the league schedule on the road, while the Saints will welcome Georgia Southwestern, Flagler, and finally UNC Pembroke to town to close out the regular season.
