As much as you may have hated it, you've known in your heart that there's a third "Hangover" on the way. It should at least please you to hear it won't involve another wedding.
Zach Galifianakis this week finds himself on the cover of a Rolling Stone, giving a lengthy interview in which he talks about all manner of things, including the inevitable "Hangover III."
"I'm getting fricking phone calls already," Galifianakis told the mag, adding that from what he's heard, the third film will feature the wolf pack coming together to help break Alan out of a mental institution.
U.S. & World
While "Hangover II" is poised to cross the $200-million mark, and fans have given a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, critics have largely dismissed it as recycled garbage. We didn't think it measured up the original, but it was a lot funnier than most of what passes for comedy at the multiplex, and for that we were grateful.

Platform Mary Jane Heel
The Fit Expert
Karen from our San Francisco (Union Square) store says:
The angle of the toe swoop makes them fit a half size smaller.
The original inspiration behind the Guide was from when John was walking to the Fluevog Design Studio for a meeting, and was confronted by a Girl Guide selling cookies. John, feeling generous (and hungry), decided to buy many boxes of the tasty delicious cookies (the number was never confirmed) to bring back to his trusty, hard working employees. On his walk, his hunger got the best of him, and he started munching happily. First the box of chocolate mints... then the box of coconut cookies... then another box... By the time John got to the Design Studio, he realized he had eaten all of the cookies. He discarded the boxes and removed any evidence of what is now referred to as 'The Great Cookie Massacre.' Unfortunately for John, his story came out in the meeting when everyone remarked on his cookie crumb tie.
Chuckling to himself at the invaluable lesson he learned from his experience, John drew up a sexy ladies shoe that featured thick, soft leathers with pebbled surfaces, custom Fluevog buckles, a 3.5" curved heel, and a 1.5" hidden platform of recycled cork, all on a tunite sole with rubber grips. The uber-modern mary jane, Guide provides you with a firm foundation for the challenges ahead (like not eating the entire box of cookies at once without a glass of milk). Prepare for the Future, choose well today.

Silver Guides
My New Favorite Shoes
Don't let them get wet!!
My cat got out as I was leaving for work and I ended up chasing her across three yards through wet grass. The black and white started to turn dark grey. I was hoping that it was just because the shoes were wet and that when they dried, everything would be back to normal.
They didn't go back to normal.
My heart is broken. I should have used a suede protector... silly, SILLY Angie.... I am currently oscillating between buying another pair, (and doing a better job of protecting them,) and not buying another pair because I'm so disheartened and I'm worried that I'm going to expose them to a little water and have another pair of wrecked paisley Guides.
In the meantime, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with my shoes. I might dye them. I might take a paint brush and some water and even out the water marks.
I just don't know.... :S Sigh... they were so perfect....
Fantastic Platforms
Shoe build: A+, Paisley Leather D-
Shoe: A+, Leathers: Anywhere from A-F.
So, beware of the various funky finishes! But...this family is hands down my favorite shoe ever (of any brand).
Super Comfy!!!!
Best Shoes of Life
I do want to say, right off the bat, please take to heart all of the reviews below that note sizing up 1/2 size! I fluctuate between an 11-11.5, so I sized up to the size 12 in this shoe and I am so grateful I did. They fit beautifully! They are like walking on a cloud of deliciousness. My feet are very narrow, so they did slide a tad, shoving my toes into that point part of the shoe. This was rectified by a nice little thing-a-majig pad under the ball of the foot.
I also want to say to my fellow gloriously tall women, do not be afraid of the 3.5" heel - you are beautiful and divine and you can totally rock this shoe! I'm a 48-year-old 6' tall woman and my inner drag queen shined in these shoes. I got loads of compliments (and threats of shoe theft) on not just my shoes, but me in my shoes. So, be an amazon. Love that tall body - and love it while grooving in these magnificent mary janes. In fact, the brighter the shoe, the better!!
OK. Keep making the large sizes, John Fluevog, and us large and in charge chicks will keep on buying them. You might even think of going to a size 13 for those even more well-endowed (in the feet) ladies. Why not share all this love?!
the love affair continues - SILVER!!!
Super-Comfortable Shoes But...
My 8hours Shoe
They fit my wide feet and this makes my heart sing. Normally I am a size 8 but in Fluevogs of any style I wear between a 9.5 to 10.
Bet you can't just have one (pair)!
I'm in love
I was right!
(If you have long toes, I suggest going up ½ size).
oh no.....
My first pair of Guides.. but not my last!
This is the start of a beautiful friendship ...
Jody at the Granville Street store suggested I try these on after I had asked for a purple pair. I immediately LOVED them and walked out of the store wearing them (yes, I paid for them first BUT they were comfortable enough that I could have run in them if I had forgotten to produce me visa!!!)
My love affair continues
Perfect for Narrow Feet, Sexy Too
Love my Guides :)
2 Years and Still Going Strong
My love is boundless.
The Absolute Best Heels EVER
Finally my first pair of Prepare Guides.
Can't wait to wear them on my next dress up occasion. Since it is summer and hot, I'll have to wait till cooler weather to wear them more often.
They are totally worth it.
best Vog evah
Comfort, beautiful and who doesn't like being showered with compliments all day. Go Vog Go!
Can't wear these without getting compliments
Sheer lusciousness!
Gorgeous shoe but didn't fit.
New mama shoes!

Best Birthday Ever!
Stunning Shoe!
My New Favorite pair!
Awesome Shoes and sooo Comfortable!
Most comfortable sexy shoe I have ever owned
Caution - will get stopped on the street!
Needs Breaking In
When the Guides first came out, I was awed by all of the colour choice. At Easter I was in Toronto and tried them on, for quite awhile!, and in the end went for something else because the Guides weren't immediately comfy.
But when they went on sale in the colour I liked the most (Fuchsia!), I had to get them so I did something uncharacteristic -- ordered them online since I knew the size I needed. Unlike a lot of the commenters here, I've had to wear them at half day intervals at the office to break them in. First day was painful. Waited a couple days and tried again. Better. They keep getting better. But it was not immediate comfort the way a lot of people have claimed.
Do I regret it?! No way. One of the hottest pairs of 'vogs I own by far (& I own around 10 pairs now)!!! Loads of complements (mostly from other women). Snazzy Sexy Soles.
(Oh, and they work for my very narrow AAA feet, too).
I have a crush on my shoes
Heels comfier than some flats?
happy feet, happy heart
Get noticed everytime
Five pair spree
OMG!! Im in shoe love!
I will defintaly be getting another pair either the pink or turquiose.
Thank you John Fluevog for making great shoes, and thank you Jamie in MN for the help!!
day one, walk blocks!
Loooove these shoes
dead & buried
Wild Shoes
(8.5 to 9 in most shoe sizes with fairly wide feet, I bought these in a 9.)
Love Them
Home run!
It perfectly fits my criteria: comfortable, unique (without having that trying-too-hard-to-be-cool look), flexible with different wardrobe, and a little bit sexy.
Not for the shy
First but not the last
True to size
My favorite shoes
fetish-clogs extraordinaire!
The styles and sizes I wear:
7's in Bellevues and Wonders.
8's in Wearevers and Coffees.
and... 8's in Prepares!
i heart my new fluevogs!
i will say that they fit me a bit small. i have average width feet, and typically wear a 6.5, occasionally a 7. the 6.5 were a little narrow and snug in the front. if you float between sizes, err on the large side.
i agree with most of the positive comments i've seen, so i won't repeat them. but, i'll add that i love how quiet they are! i have so many shoes that are clopmy. these are better for sneaking!
Turquoise Happiness
I got them at the Gastown store in March. My husband and I make a regular pilgrimage from the Island for our anniversary every year and we buy each other a couple of pairs. These were not a shoe I thought I would like until I saw them on my foot.
Absolutely love them. I also found them true to size (9.5 for me, although I also have my 2nd toe bump the end), and supremely comfortable. Thank you!
Orange ones are not orange- very sad
Sadly they are not. They are a dull rusty brown- think 70s leather coat. Very funky, but not what is shown on the site.
Colour aside: holy crap these are a lovely shoe.
Too bad I have to return them. I may get the blue leather ones as I already own teal minis. (:`( (:`(
Love, love, love.
Have em in turquoise
Jeepers, they're COMFY and quirky and spiffy and amazing. I wear them with black and the shoes are the outfit.
Color, comfort, and style
Love the Guides
My Dream Shoes
Love em
Coolest Mary Jane's
Colour differential ...
great shoes, but poor quality/service
a surprise is the best prize
happiness is a vog-clog
The Guides - I love love these shoes. I had written a suggestion to JF at one point to bring out a winter Prepares bootie. And today I see the Merit and I want it in both colors. I opted for the black first because it's a good basic with skirts and black tights but that burnt orange is calling me for my next purchase. Vaaaalll-irie.
PS. just had the protective soles replaced on my Ask clogs and even the cobbler admired them.
So comfy!
better then ... anything
People chase me down...
Happy Holly
Sizing note...I usually wear an 8, but in yours I wear an 8.5. Had to have the "yeah" shoes in green too. 8.5 worked in those for me as well. Several other pairs are on my wish list. My husband now knows what to get me for any occasion throughout the years.
Thank you for creating such dreamy footwear. xo
A New Classic
I can wipe my chin now!
I chose the orange-red Guides, which is just a fabulous, stand out colour for them. It's a lovely shade, a bit duller than the online image, but perfect for summer and fall, I think. I tried the 9 first (what I wear in Mini's), but found it a bit tight across my foot, and I was struggling to get the strap done up. Ended up purchasing the 9.5, which was immediately comfortable. They really DO feel like you're wearing running shoes!
My quite muscular legs look shapely and sexy in these, and whether with a skirt or jeans, these are going to be one of my all time favourite pairs of shoes. Thank you, Fluevog Queen W, for being so nice, and such enthusiastic 'Voggers!
Love my Prepare Guides
Fluevog, you've ruined me for any other!
simply...the best
Another beautiful shoe!
These babies are awesome! Not at all clunky-looking as I thought they might be, and they make you sooo tall! Completely comfy right out of the box, these are a dream. I usually wear a 7.5 or 8 in Fluevogs, and the 8 fits perfectly.
I really debated between the brown and the blue, but went for the blue. The brown is even nicer in person than it looks on the computer, and the blue is pretty accurate.
Thanks for another great shoe, and for extending the benefits of International Fluevog Day to those not fortunate enough to be near a store.
another hit
My feet are the antithesis of the feet-made-for-Fluevogs but three Fluevog stores, numerous calls and emails and the Size 11 in the blue came home to me for my 54th b-day. (last year it was the blood orange Ask Response).
I absolutely wear these shoes all day in pure comfort and joy. I can no longer wear heels as my back has been damaged by youthful shenanigans...these are absolutely no problem.
I tower over 6' in them and enthusiastically GUIDE all the women who ask to your website.
I have a feeling John Fluevog will opt to keep this family around for quite a while. I hope so. I would like a little ankle boot clog in olive.
Got the Blue Ones!!
Dancing around the house!
best shoes ever!
Happy Birthday to Me!!
Love these more than my Scouts!
Unbelievable Comfort and Style!
Best. Ever.
Thanks so much to Brian at the Toronto store for all your help. Didn't have my size so he had to order them from Montreal. Monday the order went out and I had them for the weekend ... I don't think I will take them off, they are so comfy and cute!
Got my blue ones, now I have a pair in blue and brown. Comfy right out of the box. These feel like Dansko clogs but make me 3 inches taller! Sexy, comfortable, unique ... THANKS JOHN FOR FINALLY MAKING HEELS PEOPLE WITH FOOT PROBLEMS CAN WEAR!! LOVE!!!! Please make more platform-based shoes so problem feet can be sexy too!
The Dutch are jealous
NO PANTS love herself the Guides
They arrived today
The leather is soft and there is space above the toes.
The color surprised me though. I think they are more brick-red, then red orange.
Not that it matter. I can't take them off. ,-)
Killer shoes
Love them!
Cinnamon Colored Love
Fun to look at
P.S I have a wide foot and the toe does feel a bit snug width ways. But the leather is soft so I imagine they will break-in and stretch to fit better in no time.

Asian Glazed Drumsticks Recipe
These Asian inspired drumsticks are finger lickin' good! It's hard to believe they are low in points (my husband kept asking me if they were WW friendly as he cleaned the bones!) The glaze would also be great with thighs or wings. I served this with steamed vegetables to make this a complete low fat meal and drizzled the remaining glaze over the vegetables. Also would be wonderful over rice. Thighs would also work great in this recipe, but chicken breast would get too tough. If you must, remove chicken breast after 15 minutes, then allow the sauce to reduce down.

Not so eagle eyed: New study reveals why birds collide with man-made objects
From office block windows to power lines and wind turbines, many species of bird are prone to colliding with large man-made objects, many of which appear difficult not to notice to human eyes. A new study published today in IBIS outlines a new approach to understanding how birds see the world and why they find pylons and turbines so hard to avoid.
The problem of bird collisions is a serious concern for conservationists. Research suggests that bird mortality caused by collisions with human artifacts is the largest unintended human cause of avian fatalities worldwide.
Collisions with large and prominent obstacles may even threaten the survival of endangered species. In Europe over a 16-year period it was estimated that approximately 25% of juvenile and 6% of adult White Storks Ciconia ciconia died annually from power line collisions and electrocutions.
"From a human perspective it appears very odd that birds so often collide with large objects as if they don't see them. It is widely held that flight in birds is primarily controlled by vision, an idea captured by the phrase 'a bird is a wing guided by an eye", said Professor Graham Martin from Birmingham University. "However birds live in a different visual world to humans."
To get a clearer understanding of how birds view the world Professor Martin turned to sensory ecology, a field of study which investigates how sensory information underlies an animal's behaviour and it's interactions with the environment.
"Previously most proposed solutions to bird collisions only consider a human perspective of the problem," said Martin. "Put simply, it has been a matter of finding a solution to bird collision problems based upon making the perceived hazard more conspicuous to human observers, not birds."
The research reveals that a subtle set of interrelationships exists between a bird's visual capacities, the interpretation of sensory information and the behaviour of birds when flying in open airspace.
"When in flight, birds may turn their heads to look down, either with the binocular field or with the lateral part of an eye's visual field," said Martin. "Such behaviour results in certain species being at least temporarily blind in the direction of travel."
Dr Martin also explores how avian frontal vision is tuned for the detection of movement, rather than spatial detail. When a bird is hunting this detection may be more important than simply looking ahead into open airspace.
Birds also have a restricted range of flight speeds, for many birds it is simply impossible for them to fly slowly, making it difficult to adjust the rate of information they gain if visibility is reduced by rain, mist or low level lights.
"Armed with this understanding of bird perception we can better consider solutions to the problem of collisions," said Martin. "While solutions may have to be considered on a species by species basis, where collision incidents are high it may be more effective to divert or distract birds from their flight path rather than attempt to make the hazard more conspicuous."
It may also be best to assume that birds are more likely to be looking down and laterally rather than forwards, meaning a signal placed on an obstacle may also be missed. Instead alerting sounds or signals placed a suitable distance from the hazard may be more efficient.
"The human viewpoint provides just one way of appreciating and understanding the world. Yet such is the difference between human and birds' eye views that a human perspective on the problem of bird collisions is quite misleading," concluded Martin. "The evidence outlined in this study explains why some species are more vulnerable to collisions with obstacles than others, and helps to inform the development of guidelines for reducing collisions."

That was a good read, interesting to see Karim's thought process for not being demoralized by his treatment was to seek comfort and inspiration from someone else who had been unjustly punished also. Thanks for doing that translation, I'm glad to have come across this.
For those of you who are interested, there is a great new group on facebook for those who believe in Secular Pan-Arabism.
Please note before joining - this is NOT an Atheist group and they do NOT want religious debates there as that will detract from the goal of the group:
اسلام = اذلال
Agreed Ibrahim... The thought of one of the Middle East's last vestiges of a modern society crumbling depresses me.
i am concerned about Syria that after the fall of Assad the Muslim Brotherhood will take over Syria.Well I hope not.
So, I have to admit, I have been enjoyed many an Iftar this Ramadan. Can't deny the awesomeness of the feasts. And Qatayef. Mmmm. Anyone else?
i might share cultural similarities with a christian american but if he is a religious christian I sure as hell don't want to marry him.
well i guess you better try to turn a palestinian muslim girl why atheism is the way to go.
wait ... oprah.. the millionaire promoting the anti-vaccination compaign by McCarthy... lol.. yeah nuff said..
Person: "A doctor went on Oprah who used to be an atheist and talked about a study that was done where people were prayed for..."
Me: "Stop right there, that study and many others like it have all be peer reviewed and proven inconsistent."

Getting the Fuller Picture: The School's International and Collaborative ApproachCopyright: RWTH Aachen
All programs of study offered by the School of Business and Economics at RWTH Aachen University aim to equip students fully for their entrance into the professional world. "Getting the fuller picture" - that is, international experience - is a prerequisite for access to top-level jobs. In order to give its students the opportunity to get to know other countries better, the School of Business and Economics has adopted an international approach, maintaining exchange programs with a substantial number of universities outside of Germany. Whether they choose to attend seminars, take courses, or even write a thesis, the School's students are able to undertake these academic activities in partner institutions from several different countries. Thanks to the School's well-maintained contacts with its partners, longer periods of study abroad are possible, and in some cases a scholarship may be awarded to help students finance their stay.
Here in Aachen, lectures are often given by guest speakers from universities and businesses abroad. It almost goes without saying that the School of Business and Economics is offering an increasing number of English-taught courses.

By ROXANA HEGEMAN Associated Press
WICHITA -- Cool temperatures this spring in Kansas have delayed the growth of pasture grasses and the first cutting of alfalfa fields, keeping cattle ranchers from turning out their herds out for grazing and putting pressure on tight hay supplies.
Development of all forage grasses is running almost three weeks behind normal, said Steve Hessman, hay market reporter for the U.S. Department of Agriculture's office in Dodge City. Cool-season grasses like fescues have not grown much, and warm-season varieties such as the bluestem grasses of the Flint Hills are just now beginning to green up some.
That means the grass in pastures has not grown enough for ranchers to turn their cattle out to graze as usual, Hessman said.
Aggravating the tight hay supplies is a hard freeze that hit Kansas earlier this month, nipping alfalfa fields. Normally growers start cutting alfalfa fields in southern Kansas by late April or early May, he said. This year it could be late May before alfalfa fields regrow enough to cut.
Steve Dewey said he had an inch of snow Tuesday at his cattle and hay farm near Cimarron in southwest Kansas. He said that on his phone are pictures taken in April last year showing his dog Kate, a Jack Russell terrier, running through an alfalfa field that was so tall you couldn't hardly see the dog. That compares to this year, when the alfalfa in his field is so short that he wryly said you couldn't hide the dog even if she was digging holes.
"It is an extreme difference," Dewey said.
He figures it will be the end of May before he starts swathing hay this season.
Scott Habiger, a cattle rancher and hay grower in Kinsley, was able to stockpile enough hay that he isn't running out of it for his herd. But Habiger, who also buys and sells hay, has been getting about eight to nine calls a week lately from other cattle producers who have run out of hay -- especially in western Kansas and eastern Colorado.
"They are down to just living from load to load," Habiger said. "A lot of people you talk to are about ready to start selling cows because they can't afford to keep buying hay."
While much of eastern Kansas has gotten good snowfall or heavy rains this spring, western Kansas rangeland has not received much precipitation this year.
"Our problem is pastures are so grazed down from last year's drought, even if we get normal rainfall it is going to take a year or so to recover," Habiger said.
That hard freeze that hit Kansas earlier this month also damaged winter wheat crops in parts of southwest and west-central Kansas, said Jim Shroyer, Extension wheat specialist with Kansas State University. Some winter wheat fields were freeze damaged so badly that they look like somebody had sprayed Roundup to kill it.
Warm temperatures earlier this spring were interspersed with untimely freezes, snow and heavy rains in parts of Kansas that have wreaked havoc with crops.
"It is setting back the forages, and it has even held up the corn planting," Hessman said. "In areas of the state dry enough to plant corn, growers have hesitated because soil temperatures are cooler than they wanted."
Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service reported Monday that corn planting in Kansas was 5 percent complete, well behind the 30 percent completed last year at this time and the 20 percent average.
The state's winter wheat crop was also maturing more slowly with just 43 percent reaching the jointed stage. Last year at this time, 96 percent had already jointed. The average for this time of the year is 63 percent jointed.
Much of Kansas is under another hard freeze warning for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. Temperatures are forecast to be in the low 20s -- low enough to do some "serious damage" to the state's winter wheat crop, Shroyer said.
"We will know a little more in a few days," he said. "As of today, we are not out of the woods."

With some reason, there exists a chorus of local media wonks that believe that Carl Pavano was less than a resounding acquisition for the Twins. They will say that securing another aging, control-wielding pitcher that was passed over by the larger market teams at the trade deadline reeked of a "typical Twins" maneuver. On the airwaves, KFAN's Paul Allen recited how uninspiring this move was to a choir of uninformed rubes. Yes, those that worship at gospel of ERA will be less enthused by the Pavano trade; however, there are plenty of reasons why this acquisition should be met with the same victorious reception as if the Twins landed either Cliff Lee or Jarrod Washburn. In fact, there could be MORE reasons to be excited about Pavano.
Though he may not be able to find a cab in NYC any time soon, Pavano rebounded nicely in 2009, appearing to be fully recovered. In January, the Indians inked the tall righty to a one-year incentive-laden deal that started with a $1.5 million base but could increase by another $5.3 million as various milestones are reached (starts and innings). Finding themselves as an also-ran in the Central and staring a $16 million dollar operational deficit in the face, the Indians began to jettison anything that could float. Gone were Lee, Victor Martinez, Mark DeRosa, Rafael Betancourt and Ben Francisco. Oddly enough, Pavano remained. As attractive as Roy Halladay, Lee and Washburn were made out to be at the trade deadline, rare were reports of how adding Pavano could upgrade a rotation. Perhaps it was the gaudy ERA or the looming injury potential, but no deal involving Pavano was made by the July 31st deadline, possibly to a great baseball injustice to the Indians organization and a huge coup for the Twins.
For teams that evaluates players with advanced statistics (Boston, Tampa and Seattle come to mind), it would be hard to ignore that his xFIP of 4.16 – a stat that normalizes the home run rate along with the infusion of strikeout and walk rates – which was TENTH best in the AL among qualified starters. Better than Sabathia. Better than Buerhle, Shields, Washburn, Burnett. Et cetera. Et Cetera. He was pitching better than all of those staff aces. One xFIP point worse than Lee – one point! – and it took the Phillies four of their top ten prospects to nab Lee from the Indians.
But the simplest reason to get behind this transaction is the fact that Pavano has been dominant against the two AL Central teams competing with the Twins. For seven innings on Saturday night, the right-hander demonstrated exactly why the Twins were interested in his services. Holding the Tigers to no runs on five hits, Pavano improved his 2009 record against Detroit to 4-0 with a 1.48 ERA in 30.1 innings. Make that now 6-1 against the Tigers and White Sox combined. Considering that there are 13 more matches against these opponents, there will be a good chance that Pavano works three to four of those games.

LEBANON, OHIO: A $175 million racino in Southwest Ohio has cleared another important hurdle and is on track for construction to begin early next year.
The Dayton Daily News reports that the Ohio Racing Commission voted 5-0 Thursday to approve the horse racing permit for the track in Lebanon, between Dayton and Cincinnati. The project still needs to win other approvals from the state.
The 120-acre site would include a harness racing track with grandstand and an indoor site with 2,500 video lottery terminals. Officials say it will create 700 permanent jobs and pour $24 million a year into the region�s economy.
Scioto Downs in Columbus opened a racino in June, and others are in the works in the state, including in Dayton. The racinos combine horse racing with video slots.

England: Hull Scarborough
Program Type: Tuition Exchange
University Overview
In 2000, the University of Hull merged with University College Scarborough. Washington College students have the option of studying at either the original campus or the smaller Scarborough campus. The college (originally a teacher training institution) became the University of Hull's Scarborough Campus, offering specialist undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in the arts, business, coastal studies, education and internet computing.
The University of Hull Scarborough Campus offers students the chance to study at one of the county's most popular seaside resorts where they can benefit not only from a wide range of prestigious undergraduate courses, but also a host of exciting local amenities and entertainments. The beautiful and impressive main building of the Scarborough Campus projects an image of traditional academic values, but belies the up-to-date facilities that are at the heart of this institution.
The City of Scarborough
Scarborough is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in the country. It follows the arcs of two magnificent bays whose sandy beaches are divided by a rocky headland. On this stand the remains of the formidable medieval castle; at its foot is the equally ancient harbour. Scarborough has all the facilities and amenities but few of the stresses of the larger urban centres. Yet it is well connected to the rest of the country by road and regular trains, while Leeds/Bradfrod, Teeside and Humberside airports are within 90 minutes. Scarborough doesn't let its size inhibit the variety of social and recreational pastimes that are available to the visitor, offering live music events, sports, theatre, cinema, clubbing or any number of hobbies.
The International Office provides a week-long orientation at the beginning of each semester. Academic counseling is available in each academic department.
University Services
Supporting students is a top priority. There are many sources of information, support and guidance on both campuses: the academic department; wardens and tutors in university accommodation; Student Welfare; the International Office; and the students' union.
Extracurricular Activities
Students can make the most of their free time courtesy of a regular schedule of events and activities put on especially for them, from discounted 'students nights' at local pubs and clubs to Student Union theme nights at 'Calvinos'—Hull's very own bar/venue on campus. Team sports include soccer (for both sexes), rugby, netball and hockey; while the Scarborough Sports Centre, with fully equipped gyms, is just next door, and the Surf Society organizes lessons for beginners at the Cayton Bay Surf School. The Outdoor Pursuits Society organizes activities like canoeing, jet-skiing, riding, mountain-biking, paintballing, scuba diving or windsurfing.
There are a few housing options, the most popular being, Cayley Hall which has 214 single rooms, all en-suite and with fitted furniture, built within the new accommodation complex. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided in the nearby dining room on weekdays and breakfast and lunch at weekends. Each block in Cayley Hall has a pay phone. Students who own their own computer can have access to the campus computer network from their own study-bedroom via a direct network connection. The Halls operate on a 31 or 36-week residence contract basis and are closed during the Christmas and Easter vacation periods.

The family of a 15-year-old California girl who killed herself after photos of a sexual assault surfaced online says they suspect the boys responsible for the assault tried to destroy evidence.
Audrie Pott's family posted the message on Friday on the Facebook page of a foundation they set up in the girl's name. They are asking any students who may have information to come forward.
The Santa Clara County sheriff's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the family's allegations.
The sheriff's office arrested three 16-year-old boys on Thursday in the 2012 attack.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Eight days after being sexually assaulted while passed out at a party, and then humiliated by online photos, 15-year-old Audrie Pott posted on Facebook that her life was ruined, "worst day ever," and hanged herself, the family's lawyer said.
For the next eight months, her family struggled to figure out what happened to their soccer loving, artistic, horse crazy daughter, whose gentle smile, long dark hair and shining eyes belied a struggling soul.
And then on Thursday, seven months after the tragedy, a California sheriff's office arrested three 16-year-old boys on suspicion of sexual battery. The arrests "reopened a wound" for family members of Pott, and they have gone into seclusion, family attorney Robert Allard said.
"The family has been trying to understand why their loving daughter would have taken her life at such a young age and to make sure that those responsible would be held accountable," Allard said.
"After an extensive investigation that we have conducted on behalf of the family, there is no doubt in our minds that the victim, then only 15 years old, was savagely assaulted by her fellow high school students while she lay on a bed completely unconscious," he said.
Allard said students used cell phones to share photos of the assaults and the images went viral.
Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Jose Cardoza said two of the teens were arrested at Saratoga High School and the third, a former Saratoga High student, at Christopher High School in Gilroy. The names of the suspects were not released because they are minors. Details about the assault were also not released.
Cardoza said the suspects were booked into juvenile hall and face two felonies and one misdemeanor each.
The lieutenant said the arrests were the result of information gathered by his agency's Saratoga High School resource officers. He said the investigation is ongoing, and Los Gatos police also continue looking into the girl's September suicide.
The Associated Press does not routinely identify victims of sexual assault. But in this case, Pott's family wanted her name and case known, Allard said. The family also provided a photo to the AP.
The girl's family members have not commented and have requested privacy until a planned news conference Tuesday. Her father and step-mother, Lawrence and Lisa Pott, along with her mother Sheila Pott, have started the Audrie Pott Foundation to provide music and art scholarships and offer youth counseling and support.
The foundation website alludes to the teen's struggles, but until now neither law enforcement, school officials nor family have discussed the sexual assault.
"She was compassionate about life, her friends, her family, and would never do anything to harm anyone," the site says. "She was in the process of developing the ability to cope with the cruelty of this world but had not quite figured it all out.
"Ultimately, she had not yet acquired the antibiotics to deal with the challenges present for teens in today's society."
Two days after Pott died, fellow students and staff at Saratoga High School wore her favorite color, teal, in her honor.
"Our sympathies go out to all of the families affected by this tragic situation," Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District Superintendent Bob Mistele said in a statement. "Collaborating with our parents, students, staff and community we will continue to work diligently to maintain a positive climate at our high schools based on respect, responsibility, and open communication that discourages cyber bullying and inappropriate conduct."
The Pott family is not alone.
In Canada on Thursday, authorities said they were looking further into the case of a teenage girl who hanged herself Sunday after an alleged rape and months of bullying. A photo said to be of the 2011 assault was shared online.
No charges initially were filed against four teenage boys being investigated. But after an outcry, Nova Scotia's justice minister appointed four government departments to look into the case.

The acquisition of Premier Foods' East Anglian canning business has helped to boost the sales figures growth of food and drink manufacturer Princes by 28%, according to figures filed at Companies House last week (December 12).
Princes is to invest 40M in its Bradford soft drinks manufacturing site
Princes filed record sales of 1.51bn for the year to March 31 2012 and generated a profit after tax of 31.1M, which is a 13% increase on the previous year's figure of 27.6M.
Premier sold its canning operations to Princes in a 182M deal in March 2011.
Princes bought two UK canning sites at Long Sutton and Wisbech in East Anglia, which employ more than 1,000 staff. They manufacture food brands such as Crosse & Blackwell, Farrow's and Smedley's.
The deal contributed to Princes' sales during the second half of 2011.
Operating profit rose 18.6% to 40.2M and sales outside the UK soared 26% to 388M.
Princes now employs more than 6,000 people and operates 14 major food and drink production sites. It predicted that annual sales would reach 2bn by the end of 2013.
40M investment
The announcement follows Princes' confirmation of a 40M investment in its Bradford soft drinks manufacturing site.
Construction work has already begun to create more than 31,000m2 of new warehouse and production facilities to increase capacity and improve efficiency at the 101,000m2 site.
The site employs more than 300 people and produces more than 400M bottles of fruit squash and carbonated soft drinks every year.
Ken Critchley, md of Princes, said: "This strategic investment ensures the site's ongoing status as one of the leading soft drink production sites in the UK. After years of careful planning and preparation, we are very pleased that construction work is now underway on this important project."
New warehouse
Old office blocks and other buildings have been demolished to make way for a new warehouse, which will house all soft drinks products produced at the site.
The main production building will be connected to the warehouse to convey products for storage and distribution without the use of vehicles, helping to support the company's environmental target to reduce road miles.
Princes is also investing in a new central syrup manufacturing facility, which will blend ingredients for the squash and carbonated drinks produced at the site, along with a discharge capture system for waste.
The project is scheduled for completion by autumn 2013.

The Miami Heat won their 23rd consecutive game Monday night, giving them the second-longest winning streak in NBA history.
Miami beat the Boston Celtics, 105-103, in a closely fought game in Boston.
LeBron James knocked down a go-ahead jumper with 10.5 seconds left. The Celtics' Paul Pierce missed a three on Boston's final possession.
U.S. & World
Miami had been tied with the 2007-08 Houston Rockets for the second-longest winning streak in NBA history coming into the game.
The 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers hold the record for the longest winning streak ever, with 33 straight victories.
James scored 37 with 12 assists as the Heat won in Boston in the regular season for the first time in 11 tries despite a career-high 43 points from Jeff Green.
Bloomberg Names LeBron James the Most Powerful Athlete
Pierce had 17 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Celtics. They were without Kevin Garnett, who has the flu and a left thigh strain.
Mario Chalmers scored 21 points for Miami, which has not lost since Feb. 1. The Heat had not won in Boston since the New Big Three was formed — including the Celtics' double-overtime victory on Jan. 27, when Ray Allen returned with his new team.
That was the day Rajon Rondo was diagnosed with an ACL tear that ended his season. This time, it was Garnett who sat out, though coach Doc Rivers said he would have played if the thigh injury had not been compounded by the flu.
Boston led by as many as 17 in the first half, but it was 103-all when Miami got the ball with 33 seconds left. James dribbled down the shot clock before putting up a jumper from the right wing to take the lead.
Green drove into the lane for Boston, but he was stuffed by Shane Battier; the ball went out of bounds and, after replay, was given to the Celtics with 7.1 seconds remaining.
Courtney Lee found Pierce for an open 3-pointer, but it bounced long off the rim and Dwyane Wade, who scored 16, tipped the rebound to the corner and then grabbed it.
PHOTOS: Miami Heat Victory Parade
Boston had won its last 11 home games coming into Monday night – beginning with 100-98 double overtime win against Miami on Jan. 27.
The Rockets' 22-game winning streak came to an end against Boston exactly five years ago, in 2008.
Notes: Green had 12 in the second quarter and 12 in the third. ... Battier was on the Houston Rockets team that won 22 straight before losing 94-74 to Boston on March 18, 2008. ... James was called for a technical foul for taunting when he stood over Jason Terry after a dunk. It was James' sixth technical of the season and the 39th of his career. ... Pierce and Chalmers got involved in a minor scuffle when Pierce drew an offensive foul and Chalmers tried to grab the ball from him after the whistle.

President Obama said Tuesday he'll visit the Gulf Coast by mid-October, fulfilling a promise he made when he was elected to visit the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged site before the end of his first year in office.
The details of the trip will be released at a later date, the White House said Tuesday.
Obama also signed an order Tuesday extending for half a year the federal office in charge of rebuilding the region. He marked the hurricane's fourth anniversary last month by pledging he would push the recovery process through as quickly as possible.
U.S. & World
Hurricane Katrina struck on Aug. 29, 2005, leaving in its wake 1,600 dead and more than $40 billion in property damage.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Jaleel Queary scored a career-high 21 points and the Tennessee State men's basketball team won its first contest of the season with a 108-85 victory on Sunday night.
Patrick Miller scored a team-high 25 points on 8-of-17 (47 percent) shooting and Jay Harris set a new personal best with 15 of his own.
M.J. Rhett hauled in a career-high 18 rebounds, helping the Tigers win the battle on the boards for only the second time this season, 56-29.
Both sides played it close through the game's first six minutes, as there were three ties and nine lead changes. However it was Tigers that held the lead at 20-19 when Harris swooshed a corner three at the 14:12 mark.
Harris's bucket was the cap of an 8-for-9 (89 percent) start from the field for TSU (1-10).
From that point, TSU went 1-for-7 (14 percent) allowing Fisk (6-9) to go on a 13-5 run. The stretch put the Bulldogs up, 32-25, and forced Tennessee State head coach Travis Williams to call timeout with 9:17 to go before halftime.
Fisk continued to add to its lead following the stoppage and Darrell Miller converted a pair of free throws to put the Bulldogs up 44-35 at the six-minute mark.
Miller and Richmond Jackson each had 20 points for Fisk during the opening stanza.
Jordan Gaither knocked down a three with 3:27 to go to pull the Tigers within five, but Fisk answered with a 9-2 run to make the score, 56-44.
In the half's final 1:20, TSU poured in eight of the final nine points to get back within five, 57-52, heading into the locker room.
Queary led TSU with 14 points on 6-of-9 (67 percent) shooting and added three boards during the opening 20 minutes.
Queary continued to impress, converting a three-point play and assisting on a Miller layup on the next trip down the floor to tie the game at 64 at the 16:14 mark. Miller then slammed home a one-handed dunk and the Tigers took the lead.
Later in the half, the Tigers played solid defense, forcing an air ball from Fisk. Rhett corralled the errant shot and flung the ball up court to Jamonte Graham who was all alone for an easy lay-in.
Graham's hoop was part of a 17-1 TSU run that put the Tigers up, 87-71, with 7:46 to play.
Rhett had a pair of two-handed dunks and Miller added a tomahawk off of an inbound pass at the 2:57 mark, making the score 99-80 and ending all chances of a Fisk comeback.
The Tigers led by as many as 25, but ended up walking away with a, 108-85, victory.
TSU had a season-high 18 assists, helping the team set a new top mark in points.
With their first home win of the season under their belts, the Tigers will look for their first on the road when they travel to Illinois State on Dec. 19. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.

President Barack Obama took questions via Twitter today during a short Q&A related to ongoing negotiations in Washington, D.C. over the so-called fiscal cliff.
Over about an hour, the president answered seven questions on the topic -- as well as one about which Chicago sports team will be next to win a championship -- demonstrating the ability to stay on (political) message in under 140 characters, and an understanding of Twitter conventions used to best broadcast a tweet.
Although it's virtually certain that Obama was not writing his responses entirely on his own, the White House posted a photo showing that the president was in fact doing the typing.
Using the #My2K hashtag being promoted by the White House over the last few days to spur discussion on Twitter about what $2,000 -- the amount the president insists will be added to many people's tax bills if Republican budget plans are adopted -- means to individual Americans, Twitter user Philip McKenzie kicked things off by asking, "Mr. President, can you assure us that any 'fiscal cliff' negotiations regarding entitlement reform will not hurt the most needy?
Obama replied, ".@pmmckenzie we can reduce deficit in balanced way by ending tax cuts for top 2% + reforms that strengthen safety net & invest in future -bo."
With each response to a question, Obama inserted a period in front of the inquisitor's @-handle, a convention that allows anyone who follows @whitehouse -- the account from which Obama was tweeting -- to see his answer. Without the period, only the person getting the @-reply would automatically see it.
To be sure, there were many more questions asked than Obama answered. And the White House clearly chose questions that worked with its overall messaging on the budget negotiations. Still, despite the partisan nature of the Q&A, it's nice to see the leader of the free world participating in a give-and-take on Twitter. One can only hope it's something that he'll do again in the future, and not always on partisan issues.
For Twitter, meanwhile, today was a very good day. First the pope joined Twitter, and then the president of the United States conducted a Q&A. One can imagine a lot of smiles at headquarters this afternoon.

Patience and an open mind are key elements in achieving success through social media marketing. Traditional measurements on ROI don't always apply and it often takes several months for these tools to provide tangible results. However, internet marketing still remains one of the least expensive and most effective ways to promote your business.
Unfortunately, many companies and organizations jump into social media marketing without knowing how to use it properly. Common mistakes include using blogs solely to push products or services, providing inaccurate or uninteresting content, scraping content from other sites, and failing to engage in honest dialogue with their audiences. Getting started on the right foot is essential in executing a successful social media marketing campaign, and that is where the Social Lites, Inc. can help. By setting up web pages, blogs, and social networking profiles, optimizing your current sites for social media interaction, and training you on how to successfully utilize these platforms, we can help ensure that you get the best possible results for your business or organization.

MARINE CORPS AIR STATION NEW RIVER, NC -- Fourteen teams, consisting of more than 70 Marines, recently participated in the Marine Helicopter Training (MHT) Squadron 302 Echo-Challenge, a six-mile run, and 12-mile bike race and stretcher carry event designed to test endurance. The event was a chance for the squadron to earn extra free time while helping to raise money for their Marine Corps Birthday Ball fund.
The course featured a unique twist—competitors had to answer questions related to Marine Corps history, regulations and customs and courtesies. By adding the questions, planners hoped to challenge the contestants both physically and mentally.
The commanding officer (CO) of HMT-302, Lt. Col. Archibald M. McLellan, offered any Marine who finished before him a four-day weekend pass.
"We came out here to beat the CO; that's a major reason," says competitor Lance Cpl. Albert Romero. The feat isn't as easy as it would seem because the CO is considered a "PT machine" throughout the squadron, Romero says.

Last month, the success of the Chicago teachers' strike forced the mainstream media to present a rare picture of public school teachers: as organized, defiant and victorious. But prior to the Chicago teachers winning a major deal, there was no shortage of dismissive, condescending and misleading coverage of teachers unions.
Recently, that disdainful media gaze has turned southward. Various outlets - public radio, USA Today, McClatchy, the Economist and Washington Post - have depicted the Mexican teachers union as a sinister force in the national struggle over public education policy. The reports generally focus on Mexico's poor academic performance in international rankings and zero in on the "boss" of the National Education Workers' Union (SNTE), Elba Esther Gordillo, who is cartoonishly portrayed as an authoritarian collector of fancy handbags.
A June Washington Post report on Mexico's crumbling schools, published on the eve of a landmark national election, said, "Twenty percent of the country's budget goes to education, about $30 billion a year. More than 90 percent goes to salaries - negotiated by the teachers union, which dictates policy." The piece quotes education scholar Carlos Ornelos of the Autonomous Metropolitan University about the alleged black market in teaching jobs: "The group Mexicans First estimates that 40 percent of the teaching jobs are still sold, or inherited, or exchanged for political or even sexual favors." Yikes.
The source Ornelos cites, Mexicanos Primeros, is a think tank that seems to closely align its politics (and name) with high-power U.S. reform groups like Students First. In the vein of "Won't Back Down", Mexicanos Primero has sponsored its own cinematic screed on teachers, "¡de Panzazo!" ("barely passing"), depicting corruption and incompetence throughout Mexico's education system.
Both ¡de Panzazo!'s claims and the American press's disdain for Mexico's teachers show only one sliver of a complex, often misrepresented political context. Yes, there is documented evidence of rampant corruption as well as [certain] persistent cronyistic practices in the Mexican teachers union, such as reserving teaching positions for family members. But that's not the whole story.
In both Mexico and the United States, schools are an ideological battleground. Corporate-minded school-reform groups such as Mexicanos Primeros and Students First promote curbing teachers' unions, tiering their pay schemes, and running schools more like businesses in an educational "marketplace."
To suggest that unions are primarily driving Mexico's educational challenges is to echo the corporate reformers in the U.S. that pit "unions" against "reform". This myopic mentality misses the fact that educational policy reflects the priorities of the political class while silencing communities and thus masking the underlying crises that affect educational achievement.
In fact, rank-and-file teachers are often at the helm of movements for real educational equity. Dissident members of SNTE, known as Coordinadora Nacional de Trabajadores de la Educación (CNTE), have actively challenged authoritarian union officials, and at the same time resisted hardline reforms they see as corrosive to a democratic, broad-based education. They've also mobilized against sweeping new neoliberal labor legislation.
Reporting on teacher protests last year in Oaxaca (the site of a mass uprising in 2006) Dan LaBotz noted that the dissident educators demonstrated not only against education authorities' plans to impose a controversial national exam system, but also against Gordillo's rule:
Teachers blockaded government offices and private companies, closed major intersections, and "liberated" the toll booths on the privately owned highway to Mexico City. They also attempted to shut down the airport....
The Oaxaca teachers are making no new wage demands. They insist, however, that the Oaxaca state government install computers in all elementary schools and pay the schools' electric bills. According to union spokespeople utility bills are currently paid by parents.
In a statement on CNTE's blog posted in August, the group called the reform agenda an assault on the government's obligation to provide free basic public education. Also the CNTE calls the standardized testing system "an insult to the economic, cultural and social development of our country because [of] deepened inequality of schools, students and teachers."
Marco Fernandez, an education scholar who has written on education and union reform, says that dissident-led strikes and protests hurt more than help. "I cannot see how the teachers' absenteeism and strikes [will lead to] the quality of education that a kid needs... for eventually getting a good job," he says. When labor disputes lead to disruptive actions that upend schooling and testing, he argues, "The ones that in the long run pay the consequences are the kids. And this is a tragedy."
Yet some see corruption baked into the core of education policy. Educational researcher Manuel Gil-Antón of the College of Mexico, publicly warned that authorities might aggravate persistent educational inequities and that the official reforms might lead to "manipulating the data and an unjustified triumphalism."
Longtime labor journalist David Bacon, who has tracked cross-border solidarity movements, tells Working In These Times that in the school reform debate in Mexico, as in the U.S., tends to zero in on teachers while ignoring deeper social deficits; one key problem is simply that schools are deeply underresourced and many families simply can't afford education. In the long run, he says, "These are social problems that you can't cure with an educational system... You need a fundamental social change in Mexico, a part of which would be making everybody literate. But you can't make everybody literate in the absence of other changes that are gonna happen in their lives."
Bacon sees teachers not only as political actors, but bearers of a progressive tradition in Mexico:
If you go into little towns in Mexico out in the countryside, teachers are community leaders... in very large part, they are also the repositories of progressive values and ideas. So if you talk to Mexican workers, people will use words like "capitalism," and "the working class," and even "socialism," and it's because there are teachers who are giving this understanding to their students.
While many Americans may write off Mexico and its schools as "Third World" bastions of corruption, teachers' resistance to neoliberal reforms is a striking parallel to the school labor dramas in Chicago and across the United States. Maybe rank-and-file educators in Oaxaca and Chicago can exchange best practices on how to take their fights outside the classroom and bring a lesson in solidarity to the streets.

Okay, thanks! I'll think about this, maybe we can put the caps in a separate thread next season.
Is that our Detour B?I think this is the leg design (in no order):-Jump off building (Route Info?)-Maze (RB)-Letters (Detour A)-Train tracks (Detour B)
LOL. You all still relying on WIKI for spoilers??
Wikipedia has already updated for this leg. Has it finished airing anywhere already? Or is it just someone's guessing?
Welcome Vanier Park! Do you happen to live in Vancouver?
Still mad about missing Dresden, I was actually playing with that cap just before the show but got caught up with Joey's train video.
Perhaps they pick up the letters at the "Museum of Letters" Which happens to be conveniently close to the Park Inn hotel at Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 13 Berlin Carré, 1. OG 10178 Berlin-Mittehttp://www.buchstabenmuseum.de/buchstaben/buchstaben.php

A monogram is a design that incorporates the overlapping. cheap monogram necklace are all the rage nowadays, so you may want to get one for yourself as a part of a revamped wardrobe. The beauty about these necklaces is that they provide an option for individuals who do not want to include their full names in the pieces of jewelry they adorn. Seeing as a monogram is made from just a few letters, it means that often, the design will incorporate the initials of the client as they want them to appear. Many companies that design and sell monogram necklaces have different policies regarding their products, but this remains a common feature for many stores. There are numerous designs that you get to choose from when you go shopping for any monogram jewelry, necklaces included. The first is the material that has been used. Ideally, necklaces and indeed many pieces of jewelry are made from a wide range of materials. For the conservative type, these monogram necklaces are made from beads which are skillfully laid out to create the initials as per the request of the client. Should the client go for the beads option, it is important that the beads are made from one material of the same density lest they end up looking shabby. It is also vital that the client selects someone who is adept at this kind of work due to the skills that it requires. Wood may also be used to carve out the desired initials. Just as with the beads, it is important to get someone whose expertise is wood ornaments. The thing with wood however, is that one must be prepared to take care of the monogram necklace. Failure to do this leads to the tarnishing of the necklace, in effect losing its glow. If well preserved however, the necklace will definitely last long enough to remind you of the sentimental attachment you have with the neck piece. Occasionally, ceramic may be used although this is a rare. People who opt for this style will usually admit to having an artsy side that makes them want to venture into such works. Ceramic jewelry, if well made provides one with the chance to look the part and stand out from the crowd. It however, requires caution, especially because carving out the initials predisposes the neck piece to breakage if mishandled. For this reason, this does not make the ideal material if you are keen to gift your child with a monogram necklace. Enter the different metals available for the designing of your necklace and you are literally spoilt for choice. First, there is the use of sterling silver, a favorite for many. The beauty about sterling silver is that it goes quite well with just about any skin tone. Whether you are dark or light, the shimmer of the silver monogram necklace against the skin produces a unique glow. The effects of this glow are further multiplied in the daytime since natural light provides the perfect ambience for you to adorn this master piece. At night, the look is just as awesome as the sterling silver neck piece glimmers in the dark, making it the perfect accessory for your evening functions. So go ahead and acquire that stunning look with this piece. Gold is yet another metal that is used to personalized monogram necklace. Long revered both for its purity as well as its numerous uses, gold is also a favorite for many people. In fact, some people love gold so much so that when shopping for jewelry, they would rather mix and match with silver accessories than forego their cherished gold pieces. The good news about this is that there are several types of gold so to speak, and each type is determined by the content of pure gold in it. This purity is measured in karats, abbreviated as ˇ®kˇŻ. This is why you will come across 14k, 18k gold, just to mention a few.

> I'm pretty sure we all saw this coming, but the negotiations between the Brewers and Corey Hart regarding an extension for the potential first baseman are now official. Hart has already come out and said multiple times that he'd like to remain in Milwaukee for the rest of his career, so it was likely these talks would happen eventually.
Hart, who is a free agent after 2013, is looking for a three-year deal for an undisclosed amount of cash. However, it's been reported that the Brewers "might prefer" a two-year extension, and an increase to Hart's scheduled $10 million salary in 2013. Hart signed a three-year extension with the Brewers back in late 2010.
After Mat Gamel went down with a season-ending injury early in 2012, Hart stepped in at first base and filled in admirably. He's always put up solid power numbers in the middle of the lineup, but he appears to be a well above-average defensive first baseman, as opposed to his deteriorating range in right field.
Some are speculating that the Brewers will trade Hart or let him walk after 2013 because ultra-prospect Hunter Morris, who is also a first baseman, appears to be big league ready. However, it's always a bit of a risk just letting a prospect- no matter his status- walk into a starting role in the Majors, so I think the safe play would be retaining Hart for at least a few more years. Plus, Hart is still relatively versatile, seeing as he could still play right field if needed (though, as mentioned earlier, his defense is certainly declining at that position).
The Brewers and Hart will probably get a deal done before long, especially if Hart does indeed want to stay in Milwaukee.
> The Brewers are reportedly expressing interest in Ryan Dempster, one of the few decent starter options on the market. Between the Cubs and Rangers, Dempster went 12-8 with a 3.38 ERA, but had a 2.25 ERA in the NL with the Cubs.
Dempster has had a lot of success at Miller Park, a venue which he's familliar with, in his career: he has a 2.66 ERA in 14 starts and 12 relief appearances (he used to be a closer) at the Brewers' home. But Dempster has also owned the Brewers in general in his career, as he owns a 16-6 record with a 2.65 REA against them (three of those losses have come over the past two years). So that's another positive of signing Dempster: if he's on the Brewers, he can't destroy their lineup.
> Minor moves:
Blue Jays: Signed Justin Germano to a minor league deal.
Royals: Signed Ian Gac and Luis Durango to minor league deals.
Mets: Re-signed Mike Nickeas to a minor league deal.
Red Sox: Signed Terry Doyle to a minor league deal.
Orioles: Re-signed Lew Ford to a minor league deal.

On Saturday, December 5, 2009, Randy Seaver decided to play Genea-Santa. He wrote (in red) my replies (in green).
"Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission: Impossible music), is to write a nice letter to Genea-Santa Here are the directions:
1) Write a letter to Genea-Santa and ask for only ONE thing. It could be hardware, software, a missing family Bible, a record that you desperately want, etc.
Dear Genea-Santa,
How nice of you to give us an extra day to prepare our reply. My mind has changed many times while trying to decide on One Thing. Where was your sympathy? It is like having one M & M or one chip. Still it has been fun dreaming of something, even if the wish doesn't come true. However, it was easy to eliminate all the material items, as they could be attainable. I want all "brick walls' solved, so I can't just single out one to discuss. So after a lot of thought Genea-Santa, I would love to have lots of free time to do my research, perhaps an additional six hours a day.
2) Tell Genea-Santa what a good genea-girl or genea-boy you've been this past year and give examples.
Genea-Santa, you already know how good I have been, even tho others might go on and on about how good they were, I was the best. You already know I don't like competing or hooting my own horn, but I have helped about 100 people this year with their genealogy research, And, I love reading your genealogy posts. What other qualifications do you want to hear about? Isn't that enough? In closing, please grant me my wish for an additional six hours of free time, after all, it is free.
3) Exhibit your posts on your own blog, in a Facebook post commenting on this note, or in a Comment to this blog post."
Genea-Santa, this was posted on my blog, "Life From the Roots."
Thank you, your little genealogy angel.
My blog has been changed to make it more appealing for those who have New England ancestors and want to see the area through photos. Things I'll include are typical white New England churches, libraries showing their genealogical collection, historical societies, cemeteries, war memorials, in general, anything to do with history.
For four years I've blogged mostly about my personal genealogy in New England (Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, and New Hampshire), New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada. I still will, can't forget my own roots.
Please check out the labels on the right side for articles. The header tabs at the top are a work in progress.

This reflection is one of four offered at the re-dedication of the central stained glass window in the Loehe Chapel at Wartburg Theological Seminary on 4 Feb. 2013.
Stained glass windows have always fascinated me. They are beautiful art regardless of how well known their maker is. There is something mystical about light mixed with color and steeped with symbolism and history. The windows are a beautiful interplay of the creation of people and the creation of our God. Their beauty changes with the turning of the day into something new. It's something great to contemplate when sorting out deep emotions and discerning dense thoughts. Or something to just stare at when the mind is tired or the attention span is short. All in something as simple as a window. The window we welcome back today does that for us and even more. It is part of our life here. The image of Christ points outward beyond our view, symbolizing our formation.
I first glanced at the chapel window when I was discerning a call to ministry. I saw a photograph of the image on a computer screen of my friend's Macbook. It was strikingly beautiful even in its 8 by 10 inch form. What was more strikingly beautiful was how this image was the reminder of this place that my friend took with her way out west for her internship. Such love and passion for this place, Wartburg, was represented in the image she saw almost every day in her life in this place.
I myself soon saw the window in person as my discernment lead to a "GO and start visiting seminary and see if the time is right." This window plays an important part in our life at Wartburg even before we become a part of this place. As a community that worships together daily, the chapel window's image is ingrained in our experience, just as much as the other elements of the community in which we live.
The image of Christ summoning the disciples is our past
It is our present now here at Wartburg
Ultimately it is our future as we will eventually leave this place.
We will all "Go" and we will proclaim regardless of our degree track. Our callings to discern and embody our vocations lead us here. And this window upon which many a student has gazed during worship epitomizes our experience. We heed God's call, pick up our lives and "GO" to Wartburg.
In our life here at Wartburg we pick up and "GO" quite often. We "GO" on J-term trips near and abroad with some of us proclaiming in words and others in actions of service and learning. We "GO" on CPE and proclaim the Gospel as the listening chaplain offering comforting presence and sometimes words to those in crisis that we meet. We "GO" on field work and internship and proclaim the Gospel. Each time we return again to this place. And eventually we all GO to Preach the Good News as the leaders that we have been formed to be.
