The course is great, staff are so helpful and look out for your best interests.
Your studies are underpinned by three core course themes, which are carefully balanced across all years of the course, centred on specific technical knowledge, construction practice and skills development through group project work.
You should gain an insight into the full breadth of design and construction disciplines that collaborate in the multidisciplinary construction industry. One distinct advantage is the benefit of practical experience brought to the course by part-time students already working in industry, who will study the course alongside you.
Throughout the four years of study, we will cover the principles and practice of civil engineering within a global context, including engineering analysis, structural analysis and design, highways and surveying, construction and project management, water and ground engineering.
Following your second year, you will have an option to apply for a one-year professional work placement or study abroad in a partner institution. Past students have undertaken placements working with contractors, design consultants and local authorities, including Balfour Beatty Construction, Mott Macdonald, Severn Trent Water, Interserve Project Services, Warwickshire County Council, Atkins and Morgan Sindall.
The third year aims to bring students to the level necessary to enter professional practice as an Incorporated Civil Engineer; reflecting both the latest advances and research work in the subject together with the contemporary jobs market. Within your individual project, you will be expected to carry out detailed research into a technical aspect from the course with the help of an experienced supervisor. Project topics typically relate to research areas of supervisors and take the form of experimental projects largely relating to structural, material or geomaterial research.
In the fourth year, you should gain a deeper understanding of technical concepts in the modelling and design of engineering systems, studying subjects such as bridge engineering, construction contracts, structural dynamics, project and system management and advanced structural analysis and design.

We want to recruit the best students to Coventry and having assessed applicants' past, current and predicted performance and commitment to the course we feel that it is appropriate to reward consistently high-achieving students with an unconditional offer from a top university. It is a commitment from us with regard to an applicants' potential as an excellent undergraduate and we hope that this will encourage such applicants to join the Coventry community.
Personal statements and references will also be taken into account and, for some degree courses, an interview will form part of the assessment. The criteria for unconditional offers will vary across the University as entry requirements for specific courses differ and not all degree courses will be taking part in the Scheme. The unconditional offer will be confirmed once a selected applicant has made Coventry their firm choice.
Coventry University has assessed that you are capable of achieving excellent grades and we have demonstrated this belief by making you an unconditional offer. This is our commitment to you so then we ask that you reciprocate this commitment by selecting us as your 'firm' choice and activating your unconditional offer.
We will consider other qualifications for a pre-result unconditional offer providing that you have an appropriate proven performance at GCSE (or equivalent) level and predicted grades in line with grades that we expect to see at A-level. Other qualifications that we may consider for a pre-result unconditional offer include: the International Baccalaureate Diploma, BTEC Level 3 qualifications, Cambridge Pre-U and combinations of qualifications (e.g. BTECS plus A-levels).
An unconditional offer is what it says it is. So if you don't meet your predictions then your place at Coventry is still guaranteed. However we would hope and expect that you continue to work hard to make the most of your potential and be best prepared to study at university level.
We can't but our experience over the years has shown us that students like you with a track record of high grades and excellent predictions are very likely to achieve those grades. Our assessment takes into account all elements of your application to allow us to take a holistic view of your potential. There is still the opportunity to gain one of the Coventry University Scholarships if you achieve the required grades so there is a financial incentive to aim high. Unconditional offers are only made to individuals who have demonstrated their commitment so we believe their focus and determination is unlikely to waver in the final stages of their qualifications.
No, the unconditional offer is only available to those who will take up their place in 2019.
We pride ourselves on offering competitive tuition fees which we review on an annual basis and offer a wide range of scholarships to support students with their studies. Course fees are calculated on the basis of what it costs to teach each course and we aim for total financial transparency.

Graduates from this course have gone on to work for engineering consultancies, contractors and local authorities, such as Arup, Mott Macdonald, Buro Happold, Atkins, Severn Trent and Warwickshire County Council.
I have a passion for knowing how things work and engineering does exactly that. I chose to come to Coventry mainly because of the support I got from the lecturers. I felt that their interest in me was genuine and that they wanted what was best for me when they suggested I do the MEng rather than the BSc. There are so many opportunities on offer in addition to your academic learning. This year I entered the Ford WISE Prize, a UK-wide competition that recognises outstanding commitment and achievement by female undergraduates in engineering, and came third. I attended an awards ceremony in London and was presented with my award by Princess Anne. The whole experience was fantastic. Engineering is a male-dominated industry and I am proud that I am proving myself in that world. My experiences at Coventry have helped shape the engineer and the person that I am today and I am very glad that I made the choice to come here.

Keith Mann of Dynamics Search Partners has never been one to pass up a chance to help someone out or be there for them. It does not matter who they are or where they come from. If they need some help, he is more than willing to do that. Even if people don't necessarily need help, but they need a little boost or a little confidence, he is there to provide it. He realizes how lucky he is to be in the position he is in and it is not something he takes for granted. Keith Mann knows he worked for it and has earned it, but those are the kinds of people that are grateful for everything in their lives.
He is grateful for the chance to live his life and be safe. That is provided to him, his family, and all of us thanks to the police. Right now, there are a number of people out there that are scared of police or viewing them in a negative light. This is incredibly difficult for police. They are simply doing their job and doing it to the best of their abilities. As with any job and anything out there, it is not perfect. There are going to be a few bad apples. However, we fall into dangerous ground when we lump everyone in together.
It must be very difficult on the cops to be putting their lives on the line out there only to be underappreciated and undervalued. One can't help but feel for them. It can be a thankless job. Keith Mann of Dynamics Search Partners is here to remind them they are doing a great job and he is grateful for all they do. After all, his uncle is a detective. He has learned a lot from him and what he has gone through.
That is one of many reasons why Keith Mann treated the 54th precinct to lunch in New York on two separate occasions. Everyone loves a free lunch and this was a gesture that really made their day and reminded them that people do care and people support them.

Amritha Shergill (1913 - 1941): Hundredth birth anniversary of this renowned painter is celebrated today. The sketch of life that follows is from the site: http://www.itasveer.com/artsmart/top-10-painters-of-india/achievements-of-amrita-shergill and it provides a factual account of her life and contributions. She excels in painting women in melancholic mood.
Achievements of Amrita ShergillThe name 'Amrita Shergill' stands out prominently amongst the modern painters of India. She was the youngest and only Asian artist to be elected as an Associate of the Grand Salon, Paris. She was the 'most expensive' Indian woman painter as well. Amrita is sometimes also known as India's Frida Kahlo. She was very much influenced by the impressionists. She altered the face of Asian art and set a course for women artists. Her works echo the beauty and brilliance she possessed. In the following account, you will find the achievements of Amrita Shergill painted in various shades.
Early Life of Amrita ShergillAmrita Shergill was born in Budapest, Hungary on 30th January, 1913 to Umrao Singh Shergill Majithia, a Sikh aristocrat and a Sanskrit and Persian scholar and Marie Antoinette Gottesmann, a Jewish Opera singer from Hungary. As her life unfolds, we come to know that she spent most of early childhood in Budapest. She was the niece of Indologist Ervin Baktay. He guided her and gave her an academic foundation to develop on.
Education of Amrita ShergillIn 1921, her family shifted from Hungary to Shimla. There Amrita developed an interest in the art of painting. Thus, she took tuitions from an Italian sculptor in Shimla. When in 1924, her teacher moved back to Italy, Amrita and her mother also followed him. In Italy, she joined Santa Anunciata, a Roman Catholic institute.
Amrita Shergil received exposure there to the works of the Italian masters, which furthered fanned her interest in painting. She received formal training of painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, under Lucien Simon. At that time, she was deeply influenced by some European painters. Her paintings mirror a strong influence of the Western modes of painting.
Career of Amrita ShergillAmrita Shergil returned to India in 1934 and since then, began her never-ending journey in the field of Indian art traditions. In India Mughal miniatures schools and Ajanta paintings had a great impact on her. When she journeyed to the southern parts of India, the famous South-Indian trilogy paintings came into being by her brush and paint. She evolved her own distinctive style. According to her, it was basically Indian in spirit, subject, and technical articulacy. Now, her paintings took the villagers, the poor and beggars as subjects.
Famous Paintings by Amrita ShergillAmrita Shergill's gangling and sharp figures of the poor are cloaked in homespun materials. They look flimsy and forlorn. Perhaps, reflecting her inner glum. The originality and uniqueness of Ajanta and Ellora, the sumptuous murals at the Mattancheri Palace in Cochin and the power of the Kushan sculpture she saw at Mathura, portray her work. She became familiar with Indian miniatures and adored the passionate Basohli School. She attempted to embrace some elements of Rajput painting in her later works, with feeling and flamboyance.
One of her early paintings 'The Torso' was a skillful study of an undressed which was known for its intelligence of drawing and bold modeling. Amrita completed 'Young Girls' in 1933. During her time, India was just coming out of the Purdah age, obligatory during the Muslim rule. So, great courage was required to paint nudes and this she did boldly and beautifully. She was a non-conformist. She painted herself gracefully in the nude. These paintings are today's art treasures. In the negotiation, she blazed a radical trail which has served as a guiding light to other Indian painters.
It is said that she didn't identify with the national struggle for independence. The reason can be perhaps, she didn't know that she would not live long enough to witness how soon that power would revivify Indian art.
Awards, Achievements and LegacyAmrita Shergill was amongst the most gifted Indian artists of the pre-colonial era. Her works reproduce her unfathomable passion and sense for colors. Her profound understanding of the Indian subjects can also be seen in her paintings.
The Government of India declared her illustrious works as National Art Treasures. The National Gallery of Modern Art in New Delhi is adorned by a majority of Amrita's paintings. Also, there is a road known as the Amrita Shergill Marg in Lutyen's Delhi.
A postage stamp was released in 1978 in India which depicted her painting 'Hill Women'. She inspired a number of contemporary Indian artists. It was in the year 1993 that a renowned Urdu play 'Tumhari Amrita' (1992) by Javed Siddiqi came into being. Her work is the main theme in the contemporary Indian novel 'Faking It' by Amrita Chowdhury.
Amrita Shergill's life was filled with passion and color just like her canvasses. She lived life on her own terms, with exceptional ways. In 1938 Amrita married her Hungarian first cousin, Dr. Victor Egan. With him, she moved to her paternal family's home in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh. Later, the couple shifted to Lahore. Prior to her untimely demise, she left behind a body of work that establishes her amongst the leading artists of the century and a wonderfully eloquent symbol of synthesis between the East and the West. Amrita Shergil left this world on December 6, 1941 but achievements of Amrita Shergill are eternal, splendid and intense. They are keeping her alive amongst us.

Setting up terrain I found this wonderful old but new to the store terrain piece in the back and resolved that it had to be used, so into the center of the board it went. At first our benefactor was a mystery, but we later found out it had been left there by Colkillgore via Chuckaroobob, both of My Little World of Dementia. Thanks fellas!
Scott's Space Wolves and I squared off with the complex in between and prepared to bring the pain!
|Scott's Sicaran tank, good bit of dakka there! Would make a fine battlewagon!
|The Legendary Fangs of Fenris, T6 doggies with attached lord and Iron Priest.
Sicaran, dogstar and three squads of Grey Hunters in Las-plas razorbacks. Just kill off the thunderwolves, then mop up the rest. Piece of squig-cake.
I have megaboss and meganobs in one wagon, the Legendary Steel Leejun (20 ardboys, now with cybork enhancements giving them 5+ invulnerable saves), another 12 ardboys in trukk, lobbas, ten boys as bullet shields for shokk attack gun mek. Oh, and 30 shoota boys I forgot to put on the table. 1500pts, Crusade, three objectives, Hammer&Anvil.
Wolves trot around the corner, wagons move up confident in AV14. Skokk attack fires at the dogs, and rolls a 12, spawning a vortex! Unfortunately it scatters off into the nearby ruins. In the vortex excitement, I forgot I had ammo runts and could have rerolled the scatter. Oh well.
But as fate would have it, at the start of the Space Wolf turn it wanders back over to its original target. Guess it was a curve ball. Thanks to storm shields, the only casualty is an ablative non-thunder wolf.
|Silly dogs, what are you going to do if you catch the car?
My original thought was that he would assault and wreck the wagon with the Steel Leejun, then megawagon and trukk would move up, dismount, and all three units would combo-charge and tear them down in flurry of klaws and choppas. Sicaran's rending autocannons managed to wreck the megawagon, but plan should basically be the same, will just need better move/charge rolls from the megas.
Unless he gets the distance to charge the megas too. Which he does, and aside from wrecking the Leejun's ride wipes out the meganobs, losing one rider in return. Ouch. Tooled up wolf lords are no joke.
Well, the plan would have worked better with an extra twenty power klaw attacks, but ere we go!
No, seriously dude - where's my boyz?
Maybe firepower is the answer. Shokk attack fails to take them down, and shootas prepare to lay down the dakka. While the wolves were in combat, the shokk attack did manage to wreck the Sicaran. I held back, so wolves would need a ten inch charge to make it. He tries, and I pump a lot of overwatch hits on him but he shrugs them off.
Eleven you say?
It's all over at that point. I try to take out the last wolf so he won't get a stack of Glory Points, but fail, and am shortly wiped out. Victory Space Wolves (well, victory Thunderwolves with a little help).
Orks vs. Sisters of Battle next!
And Scott's writeup of the battle:
Capt Milian's voice came across the the intercom. My Lord we are detecting a transmitting signal due east of you. Origin located, six kilometers from your present location. Its in a code we have not seen before and it's a broad spread transmission. No particular destination. " The Orks?" Tyr asked. It does not appear so sir. Origin shows its coming from an abandoned comm.station. It does appear however it has attracted the attention of the enemy as well. A heavy recon force of orks has been detected heading for it. "Very well, our resupply and replacements have arrived. We will see what this is about". Tyr clicked of the comm unit and turned " We Ride!!"
They could hear the ork vehicles. Clanking and banging, rolling over everything in their path. They had entered from the exact opposite side and now were in visual. Not one but two battlewagons and what appeared to be an old looted rhino. With all the changes the orks had made it was unclear which chapter it had originally belonged to. Gretchin rolled or were kicked off of one of the wagons as some boys were spotted running up one of the buildings to the higher ground. So much for surprise. "Attack priority A1C. The sudden roar of autocannon fire and snap crack of lascannons signaled the start of the fight. Tyr led the Fangs down one of the streets of the compound. Readouts were showing the comm. station was still transmitting.
There was a bright purplish black flash and the sound of one hundred thunderclaps next to them. A wall, a blob of chaotic energy suddenly appeared next to them. A vortex had appeared as if from no where. Violent and angry destroying everything it touched. Those boys in the building must have been hiding what they called a shok attack gun. An unpredictable weapon but this one appeared to have been well made. He thought about changing target priority but those wagons had to be destroyed. A second blast of lascannon fire and he saw black hvy smoke roll from the one on the far side of the hill. One down, that left the second one to the fangs.
They charged up the hill, Tyr and Grek peeling to one side to take on the meganobz from the other wagon. Tyr saw Grek pulled from the saddle as he started cutting and slashing into the greenskins. The Fangs ripped into side of the second wagon. The claws and hammers peeling back the makeshift panels and pouring its contents on the ground. An explosion behind him and his sensors blinked. The sicaran fell silent. That shok attack gun was doing its best to chew thru his guys. The truk hiding behind the wagons disgorged its cargo and a green tide was upon them. As quickly as it had begun it was over. The hill laid strewn with greenskin and blood, some of it Fangs. Down the hill they strode into the rear guard of the orks in an attempt to get to the mek but they were too entrenched in the building. The razorbacks engines could be heard at full speed, moving up to secure forward positions. The comm station had been secured, now to find out what was going on.

One of the most important things that you must consider when having a wedding is what kind of theme you want to have. It's vital that you may is quick a decision as possible about the theme because it will affect the entire wedding and it will be difficult to plan without doing so. This guide will help you to choose the right kind of theme at the right price.
First of all you need to think about when your wedding is
going to be and how much time you have to plan. A lot of people make the mistake
of setting a wedding too early and then trying to plan an elaborate wedding
which is just not feasible. If you have a long time to plan your wedding then
you can go to something a little bit more over the top when it comes to a
theme, but if your wedding is just a few months away it may be better to just
settle for a traditional wedding. Anyway, a simple wedding is often the most
fun. The theme will set things like the wedding invitation designs, style of decorations and dress so it's important to do early.
The best place to start looking for ideas and themes weddings is in wedding magazines. Not only will these are the latest themes that are in fashion at the moment but also be able to give you ideas as to more traditional themes. Until you start looking at wedding themes you won't really realise how many different types are. For example you could go for a tropical wedding theme or a vineyard theme. There are so many choices that you need to start thinking early otherwise you'll never choose in time.
Once you've decided on the kind of thing that you want to have you need to make sure that you are willing to stick with it for the rest of the planning time. Once you start to plan a wedding can be really difficult to change the theme so you need to make sure that you're 100% comfortable with the theme you've chosen before you start. Otherwise this could cause major problems down the line.
Once you've chosen the theme you can then start thinking of things that will add to the theme all be suitable. Make sure that you the theme running through the entire wedding so that means not only the decorations but also the food and the wedding invitations. This way people will know what kind of wedding they are going to.

I have the book Tilda Studio as my bedside reading at the moment. I've had a go at making the beauty bag pattern from the book. I've recently discovered the zipper foot attachment to my sewing machine, and that made the process a whole lot easier!. Its amazing how much difference having the right tool for the job makes.
The bag came out pretty well for a first attempt, and only took a couple of hours. The padding made it a little difficult to sew the trims on the side at the end. I had to do that part by hand.

Former Hibs and Celtic striker Derek Riordan has signed for York City at the age of 33.
Jackie McNamara's side currently prop up the other 91 clubs in the English Football League, three points adrift in bottom place in League 2.
Riordan has joined until the end of the season and could make his debut on Saturday when the Minstermen host Stevenage.
"I'm delighted to have signed and just to be back playing football games, it's brilliant," Riordan said. "I'm going to take each game as it comes now and hopefully score a few goals too.
"A couple of weeks ago the gaffer phoned me asking if I wanted to come down for a few week on trial and I came straight away, so I've been training for the last couple of weeks and I've really enjoyed it.
"It's been good, I've got on really well with all the lads and obviously with the coaching staff too so it's been enjoyable and it's even better when you get a contract at the end of it."
Capped three times by Scotland, Riordan was training with Hibs earlier in the season. He will now focus his attention on preserving York's league status.
He told the club's website: "I just want to do well and help put the team a bit further up the table to obviously get us out of the relegation battle that we're in. I hope to bring goals to the table but also provide assists as well.
"I think I'm a bit of a playmaker; I like to be on free kicks and corners and to create chances, but obviously score too."
Riordan scored over 100 goals for Hibs during two spells at Easter Road. Inbetween he played for Celtic and was part of their double-winning squad in 2006-07 but struggled to establish himself as a first-team regular.
He played in China for a while and also had short spells at St Johnstone, Alloa Athletic and East Fife.

It's a protest that has lasted for a few weeks now outside of Sacramento's City Hall, and early this morning, city officials finally tried to put a stop to it.
Advocates and members of Sacramento's homeless community have been protesting a city ordinance that bans camping out within city limits, something they say directly affects them.
Sacramento police were out in full force early Saturday morning, 49 deep in riot gear sending a message from the city to these protesters. Enough is enough.
James Clark was one of seven protesters arrested or cited for violating the very ordinance they were protesting.
"To us it shows the city really doesn't care about its citizens," Clark said. "People are dying out here in the cold."
Sacramento's unlawful camping ordinance prohibits anyone from camping out, or using camp paraphernalia like tents or sleeping bags, in public places.
A rule Clark says targets the homeless.
"You don't see people with homes roaming around with sleeping bags and tarps and essential supplies to stay warm. You see homeless people doing that," Clark said.
However, city officials say they've made multiple attempts these past few weeks to warn protestors to stop violating the ordinance or they'll make arrests.
A statement released Saturday evening by the City Manager's Office says in part:
"Last night, after numerous warnings and offerings of services since December 8, police were forced to arrest four people and cite three in violation of the city's camping ordinance.
The City of Sacramento acknowledges and recognizes the right of all citizens to exercise their right to free speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, the City also has an obligation to enforce laws involving the protection of public health and safety, including provisions of the Sacramento City Code that prohibit camping and the storage of camping items on public property."
They even provided lists of homeless shelters with available beds.
But Cynthia Badders says finding good shelter is harder than one might think.
"I've been to the shelters. You can only stay one month unless you're a veteran, and you have to prove that," she said.
Badders said she's been drug and alcohol free for 21 years. She says she prefers sleeping outside, because drugs and alcohol are everywhere around Sacramento's homeless shelters.
"In a group here I felt safer," Badders said.
After weeks of protest, those fighting for their right to sleep outside hoped the city would bend on its ordinance, but after this police showing, and a handful of arrests, that doesn't seem likely.

Southwark council this week gave planning permission to The Quill, a pair of interlinked tine-topped towers on Weston Street near London Bridge station, despite significant opposition from both local residents and a thumbs-down from Cabe.
Plans for the towers, which rise to a height of 110m and are intended as student accommodation, had earlier been slammed by Cabe, the outgoing design watchdog, as having an "ungainly form" and being "over complicated". They might have a point: the vaguely sinister blade-like forms crowning the top, the portentous name and the fumbling attempt to connect conceptually to the local area, are reminiscent of some overambitious project in, say, Reading, not something that'll be sitting (literally and figuratively) within the shadow of an elegant building like The Shard.
Southwark residents seemed similarly unimpressed. As reported by SE1, this week's planning meeting was a standing room only-affair, with many of those in attendance opposing the scheme. Despite this, the committee voted 5-2 in favour of granting permission.

There was one site that was interesting, but it is based on school design, not classroom design. http://www.imagineschooldesign.org/
This site is good if I had a big pile of money and wanted to overhaul an entire building, (but I thought I'd start small first), and some of them look like Schools by Ikea. However, there are a couple of interesting ideas that are school-based.
I guess I still like my design concept because it does not require huge piles of money or a bulldozer, but I was kind of hoping for some confirmation from other websites about my design. The closest things I have seen so far are some Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia ideas because they are so exploratory and organically-based.
The design should not reinforce the "industrialization" approach of a classroom.
It should reflect an exploratory, hands-on approach.
It should provide flexibility and allow for choice for my students.
It should be comfortable, innovative, and stylish, with a bit of whimsy.
The design should cost as little money as possible. (Did I mention that I am footing the bill for all of this?)

Jordyn's weekly e-mail
September 30, 2013
Companion: Sister Dudek
Severing in Puyallup, Washington
So I learned something this week (other than the thousands of spiritual things I learn every week), it rains in Washington. A lot. So much that within 15 minutes of knocking doors the other morning, all of my makeup was completely washed away.
But this was a good week! (I feel like I say that every week, but I really do mean it). On Monday we started the new member lessons with the Reine's and taught about FHE and the Aaronic Priesthood with their home teacher. We also watched the Mormon message from Elder Holland called Sanctify Yourselves, which i HIGHLY recommend. Wonderful. We also got the best referral ever: So we were at dinner and Sister Murray told her son that they need to find people for us to teach. So Parker turned to us and goes, "You should go teach my friend. He knows all of the swear words!" And then he ran outside and pointed to his house. Haha, little kids are the best.
On Tuesday we had district meeting, taught Martha part of the restoration, taught Althea more about the Book of Mormon and read some of it with her, and got another awesome referral. I guess the Manorwood Elders were walking to Walmart on Monday and there were some homeless ladies in the parking lot that recognized them as missionaries. They talked for a little bit, but because that Walmart is in our area, they told us to go see them. We never got in contact though, the car they were living in was always empty unfortunately.
Let's see, Wednesday we did the usual: trying to see less-actives, try to talk to people in general, none of that worked, so we ended up just knocking. We knocked into this lady and we introduced ourselves and she was like, "yeah, I think I'm a Mormon I haven't been in a while though." But she invited us back, and we're gonna try to baptize her family.
On Thursday we did another new member lesson with the Reine's and taught them the plan of salvation. I think I say this about every lesson, but this one is my favorite. I love the fact that we can know where we came from, why we're here on this earth and what we're supposed to be doing, and then where we're gonna go when we die. It doesn't have to be a surprise--God has given is to us plain and simple.
When we were talking after the lesson Evelyn told me that I'm gonna be a dance when I grow up. Watch out world!
On Friday we did a lot of things but all the days blend into one and the only thing I can remember that we did for sure was go to our ward talent show, which was super fun. A lot of people played the piano, some families did a skit, a group did something that I'm 95% sure is from the new Despicable Me movie that came out since I've been out so it wasn't funny to me, and then one family got first place in my eyes because of what they did. Get this: 2 guys dressed up as missionaries, singing a Beatles song, changed the words to a missionary parody. Cash. Flow. Money. Seriously the highlight of my night!
Saturday went like this: Althea, Martha, dinner with members, meet with mission leader, dinner before the RS broadcast, Relief Society Broadcast. Absolutely wonderful, love President Monson, can't wait to hear from him on Saturday.
Sunday was the highlight of my week: Althea came to church! And liked it! Ahhhh! And in Sacrament meeting Wilbur and Roy got ordained to the Aaronic Priesthood! Ahhhhh! Exciting life!
Hope you all have an awesome week!

text: Like the fools of Chelm, the Knoodle family can be a bunch of numbskulls when it comes to giving Hanukkah gifts that "will be treasured forever." Choosing names from a hat, each family member returns with a gift that is precious to the giver rather than the receiver. Bubby Sadie gives Little Yekl a pickle barrel and Mama Pearl buys Papa Jack a straw hat decorated with purple ribbon and yellow daisies. Hippie-styled, ponytailed Papa Jack gives nonmusical Mama Pearl a sparkly red guitar. Daughter Shayna gives her thinly haired Bubby Sadie a curling iron. And Little Yekl presents his sister with a box full of live tree frogs. Oy vey! Such a commotion of confusion and distress! What to do? Call the rabbi for some advice and then re-exchange all the gifts. Happy to finally have what they each treasure most, the Knoodles enjoy the best Hanukkah ever. The colorful expressive caricature illustrations done in digital media provide an ethnic flavor to this loving family, enhancing the contemporary noodlehead premise which should have readers young and old shaking their heads in mild amusement. (Picture book. 4-8)

American Pie Presents the Book of Love
American Pie Presents the Book of Love is the seventh chapter of the lucky series of movies related to this brand. Ten years have passed since the adventures of the first movie, and they tell of the adventures of three virgin students in the East Great Falls High library, the legendary sex manual already mentioned in American Pie, which reveals all the secrets of virility. Unfortunately the book is ruined and with incomplete indications… There are a lot of nude actresses, starting with beautiful Jennifer Holland, who also gives us a nice lesbo kiss with Cindy Busby and Naomi Hewer. And Cindy Lucas, Holly Eglington, Melanie Papalia, Shannon Cotnam and Taryn Johnston are on the list. An unmissable update!

This site is dedicated solely to the 1968 Firebird 400 H.O. Our goal is to educate, promote, and help others better understand this car and it's numerous qualities. The core of the site is the 1968 Firebird 400 H.O. National Registry.
The objective of this registry is to document all known 1968 firebird 400 H.O.'s still in existence (there was originally 2,099 built). This information in turn will help all interested parties to better grasp every facet of the cars, whether it is drive train combinations, interior/exterior colors, as well as all available options offered. Please see the above Registry link for our current database listing and how you can update your Firebird 400 H.O. into the national archives.
As the data grows we will be able to Statistically report better details how the cars were ordered. Here are some Statistics I've done so far with the current data.
I am a proud owner of a rare 1968 Firebird 400 H.O. 4 spd convertible. Since my purchase, I've wondered just how many are still around. There is an estimate that only 150 1968 Firebird 400 H.O. 4 spd convertibles were ever built. After 40 years how many are still around, likely a handful but a fair estimate maybe 15-20.
To date, I have made contact with eight other 1968 firebird 400 H.O. 4 spd convertibles.
The links on the above menu direct you to my 1968 Firebird 400 H.O. restoration project blog and my restoration gallery which you may find helpful. You can also find a collection of resources under the resources link on the right. If you are a Firebird 400 H.O. owner and would like to contribute photos, content or other suggestions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank You,
1968 Firebird 400 H.O. Owner and Devotee

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Investors may arrive at their desks Monday with little impetus to push stocks higher amid mounting expectations for more job loss, profit warnings and a shrinking economy in the third and fourth quarters.
Concern that the terrorist attacks on America may have tipped the world's largest economy into recession is likely to keep many investors on the sidelines as they try to assess the depth and duration of the slowdown.
"We believe the recession actually began in May or June, and now the wild card is how much distortion to third- and fourth-quarter growth has been caused by the attack," said Jeff Rubin, chief economist at CIBC World Markets. "The fallout from the attacks will overstate the recession in the third quarter and understate it in the fourth quarter."
CIBC forecasts that the U.S. economy will shrink 1.1 percent in the third quarter and contract 0.2 percent in the fourth quarter. Analysts at Goldman Sachs also expect the economy to shrink in the final two quarters of this year.
Investors and analysts will get a glimpse at the state of the U.S. consumer with the release of consumer confidence figures Tuesday, as well as durable goods orders and new home sales for August out Thursday. Friday sees the release of second-quarter gross domestic product data.
The market may also be swamped by a flood of profit warnings in coming days, which could further undermine sentiment.
"It's hard to get excited about the fundamentals of the market considering the near-term horizon," said John Hock, chief investment manager at Altrinsic Global Advisors.
"We're going to see a lot of companies coming out with kitchen-sink quarters," Hock said. "But that could lead to a clean slate in coming quarters. We expect the news to be bad next week, and if not, it'll get worse."
Among the companies handing out profit warnings in recent days, were data storage giant EMC EMC, -1.64% chemical maker Dow Chemical DOW, +0.14% Walt Disney Co. DIS, +0.47% and drugstore operator CVS CVS, +1.83%
U.S. stocks slumped for the eighth consecutive session Friday, and handed the Dow Jones Industrial Average its worst single-week performance since the Great Depression.
Shares slid as investors struggled to assess the likely impact of the terrorist attack on economic growth and earnings. The U.S. stock market shed $1.38 trillion in value during the last five sessions, according to Brent Morrison, senior analyst at Wilshire Associates.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.70% slumped 140.40 points, or 1.7 percent, to 8,235.81, ending the week down 14.3 percent. It was the steepest one-week decline since July 21, 1933, when the average slumped 15.5 percent. The eight-day string of losses is the longest consecutive slide since 1989.
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPQ: news, chart, profile) slumped 48 points, or 3.2 percent, to 1,423, and finished the week with a loss of 16 percent for its third-worst week ever. The Nasdaq 100 Index ($NDX: news, chart, profile) fell 3.4 percent. Read more on technology stocks.
The S&P 500 ($SPX: news, chart, profile) shed 19 points, or 1.9 percent, to 966. The Russell 2000 Index of small-cap stocks ($RUT: news, chart, profile) gave up 2.3 percent.
Falling stocks outnumbered rising issues by about 3 to 1 on the New York Stock Exchange, and by about 2 to 1 on the Nasdaq market. Some 2.28 billion shares changed hands by the close of the regular session on the NYSE, and 2.58 billion were traded on Nasdaq.

9) PRO: Age is gradually offering me wisdom.
6) CON: I've seen a lot of friends come and go in my life.
3) PRO: I no longer take time for granted.
1) PRO: I've learned who I am on the inside. And I like it.
I love #5 and #1 for sure. I find myself much more sure of who I am now at 30 than I was even 2-3 years ago. I'm excited to see what I'll be like at 40, although I'm okay if that birthday takes it's time getting here. =)ReplyDelete
You know, this post was really beautiful! Thanks for sharing. :)ReplyDelete
Good list! I totally agree with #5: PRO: I can recognize which friendships to hold on to and which ones to let go. A few years ago I had a group of toxic friends, and I'm so glad to have them out of my life. Back then I didn't realize how toxic they were into there was total chaos & drama! Now, I can spot a toxic friend a lot faster and know how to handle them.ReplyDelete
Awe! Thanks so much for thinking of us. We will be happy to make a list as well. We like the #1 Pro! IT's definitely the truth. We probably didn't feel that way in middle school. Have a great tuesday!ReplyDelete
4 and 2 would definitely make my con list!ReplyDelete
What an awesome post! love them all...especially 1 & 5.
Con: My black hair is turning gray at an alarming rate.
Pro: Each strand of gray represents the good that comes from friendships, laughter, children, family, home and love! I am blessed...
thank you for the reminder.
this is a really great list!ReplyDelete
What a beautiful post- I feel charmed to have found your blog today :)
That is a good list. Sometime I look in the mirror and am reminded I'm not as young as I feel. Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm following yours now, too.ReplyDelete
This is definitely one of my favorite top 10's. I started going gray at 16 so physical aging doesn't freak me out too bad but the thought of eventually, not being able to take care of myself all on my own, that does freak me out.ReplyDelete

Siebel Client Installation Tip
Moving around from client to client, I have one recurring job – installing Siebel Tools and the Siebel Web Client. I've done this dozens of times, with dozens of different Windows builds, and it always takes way longer than it should.
Siebel 6 Client and Tools were delivered using InstallShield, which just worked – and why wouldn't it, those components have always been Windows only. OUI does try hard, bless it, but it always seems to be on the lookout for ways to make things difficult.
If the Siebel installation software is on a network drive, and you don't have access to your local "Administrator" user, you may be used to the OUI "setup.bat" running for 30 seconds, unpacking a load of crap to your hidden AppData\Temp folder and then falling silent. I certainly am. It would seem that OUI likes to run elevated and hates running from a UNC path. Mapping a drive then running a CMD prompt as administrator doesn't help, as Windows will not give Administrator access to your personally mapped drives.
Thanks to Winability.com, there's a way around this. Add a simple DWORD registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/System/EnableLinkedConnections = 1
Reboot, map a drive to your Siebel installation folder. Run CMD as administrator, CD to your required installation folder and run setup.bat

ON THIS PAGE: You will find information about how many people are diagnosed with appendix cancer each year. You will also learn some general information on surviving the disease. Remember, survival rates depend on several factors. Use the menu to see other pages.
Primary appendix cancer is cancer that starts in the appendix. This is uncommon, accounting for about 0.5% of all tumors that start in the GI tract.
The 5-year survival rate tells you what percent of people live at least 5 years after the cancer is found. Percent means how many out of 100. The 5-year survival rate for people with appendix cancer depends on many factors, including the stage of disease at time of diagnosis, type of appendiceal tumor (see Types of Appendix Tumors in the Introduction section), and size.
In appendix neuroendocrine tumors, if the tumor size is less than 3 centimeters, without spreading to another part of the body, the 5-year survival is about 100%. If the tumor is less than 3 centimeters and has spread to the regional lymph nodes, the 5-year survival is 78%. If the tumor is larger than 3 centimeters, with or without spreading to other parts of the body, the 5-year survival is also 78%. If the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, the 5-year survival rate is 32%.
Due to the rare nature of other types of appendix cancer, specific statistics are not available. Talk with your doctor about the factors related to your specific diagnosis.
It is important to remember that statistics on how many people survive appendix cancer are an estimate. The estimate comes from data based on thousands of people with this cancer in the United States. So, your own risk may be different. Doctors cannot say for sure how long anyone will live with appendix cancer. Also, experts measure the survival statistics every 5 years. This means that the estimate may not show the results of better diagnosis or treatment available for less than 5 years. Learn more about understanding statistics.
Source: Up to Date and the National Cancer Institute.
The next section in this guide is Risk Factors. It explains the factors that may increase the chance of developing appendix cancer. You may use the menu to choose a different section to read in this guide.

Q: What "type" of church is this?
We truly try to live out our vision statement. We are proud of our African-American heritage and embrace the diversity of the United Church of Christ. Sunday service consists of prayers, singing and a message (there are no laser light shows at this time).
We are a small congregation and optimistic about what we can accomplish as a group with God's guidance. This is a humbling and extremely hopeful time in our church's life and we encourage others to join us during this time. This is a great church if you're looking to make a difference with your time and talents. You might even discover your have more time and talents than you thought.
Q: What should I wear?
There is no specific dress code other than wear clothes.
Q: Where can I park?
You can park at the Reeves center at 14th and U St NW for free on Sunday mornings, which is a brisk 20 minute walk to the church. The church encourages taking public transportation, walking, biking and carpooling for the sake of the environment (and for your health). Please review Lincoln Temple Map_2012 to see which streets are available for off street parking.
Q: Is the church near Metro?
Yup! U St (10th St/African-American Civil War Memorial exit) and Shaw/Howard University (R & 8th St exit) Metro stations are each 3 blocks from the church.
Can I join the church as a gay, queer, non gender conforming person?
Yes, you can join and serve. Lincoln Temple has been an open and affirming congregation (ONA) for many years and proud of it. At Lincoln Temple we welcome gay and straight people into the congregation and ministry and to the responsibilities and joys of discipleship and full participation in all sacraments. That practice has been so much a part of the church that it was not until 2014 that we realized we did not have the official Open and Affirming (ONA) status with the United Church of Christ (UCC). To be sure that our practices and official status were aligned, the congregation unanimously adopted an Open and Affirming statement on November 16, 2014 and our status is now officially recognized by the UCC.
What does it mean to be an Open and Affirming church?
Open and Affirming (ONA) is the United Church of Christ's (UCC) designation for
congregations, campus ministries, and other bodies in the UCC which make a public covenant of welcome into their full life and ministry to persons of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and gender expressions. To find out more about ONA in the UCC visit the UCC website.
Q: I'm not sure I believe everything this church believes. Is that a legitimate concern?
As a multi-generational, multicultural congregation made up of people from varying backgrounds, we don't expect everyone to have the same perspective on theology. It's a journey not a synchronized march. For more about what UCC congregations believe click on Testimonies not tests of faith.
Q: What's A Deacon?
A deacon is the "right hand" of the pastor therefore helps with pastoral ministry. Deacons check in on the sick and help out members in time of concern. They also read the scripture during Sunday service and help serve communion. At Lincoln Temple deacons can be female or male. Deacons also take up the diaconate offering which is monies specifically used to minister to the homebound and hospitalized.
Q: Why do churches talk about money so much?
Because money funds mission and we feel that our mission is to be a part of the beloved community. Our building, it's pipe organ, our mission and ministry projects are predominately member funded and supported.
Q: Where should I send a prayer request?
Using the contact us link is the most effective way.
Q: Who is allowed to take communion?
We have what is called an "open" communion where everyone (including children) are invited to take of the bread and cup. If you have more questions about communion contact the pastor.
Q: I'm only going to be in DC for a year, should I join?
You have options! You can become an associate member or placed under watch care or remain a friend of the church. So if you're in DC for school, a temporary assignment or have a home church but feel called to work with Lincoln Temple as well, you have options. Talk to the pastor to discuss further.
Q: Why should I join?
For the baked goods at the fellowship hour! Just kidding.
Being a part of a church community adds a lot of flavor to Christian discipleship. In community, you might realize you have more time and talents to help "spread the love" than you thought possible. In community, you might be able to clear spiritual hurdles by learning and sharing with others following The Way. At Lincoln Temple we understand struggle as well as the power of God's grace. So if you feel moved by our mission or vision statement please visit and join.
Q: Is there child care?
Parents are encouraged to bring their children and sit with them during the service. When children are ready, they can light the candles on the altar, join liturgical dance, the choir or participate in other aspects of the worship experience and church life. We keep child and tween appropriate spiritual material at hand so all ages can get the most out of the worship service.
Q: Can I rent space at Lincoln Temple?
Possibly! Find information here.
