Between 2009 and 2013, Green River College failed to meet its obligations both under a federal consumer protection law that mandates the reporting of campus crime statistics and dictates how college campuses report those statistics to the public, and under the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act.
Such is the conclusion of the Preliminary Program Review report recently completed by the Department of Education's Clery Act Compliance Division of Federal Student Aid (CACD), based on data obtained from 2008 to 2014.
"Green River College substantially failed to develop and implement adequate Clery Act and DFSCA-compliant programs during the review period. The overall compliance program evidenced a lack of supervisory oversight, and affected personnel were largely unaware of their obligations to ensure substantive compliance with the Clery Act and DFSCA," the report states.
Among the 13 findings, the report cites the college's "lack of administrative capability," and its failures: "to compile and disclose accurate and complete crime statistics; to properly disclose crime statistics by location; to maintain an accurate and complete crime log; to maintain an accurate and complete fire log; to properly request crime statistics from local law enforcement agencies; to comply with Drug and Alcohol Abuse Prevention Program requirements; and to actively notify prospective students of the college's 2014 and 2015 annual safety reports and annual fire safety reports."
Compliance with the program is required for Title IV funding, and Green River received more than $13 million in Title IV funding in 2015-2016. Because of the violations, however, the college may face fines, which the CACD will determine in a process separate from the review.
The CACD has told the college it will take at least 60 days, and perhaps much longer, to complete that process. The CACD has asked the college to respond to its findings within 60 days.
The U.S. Department of Education began its on-site program review to evaluate Green River College's compliance with both federal acts on Nov. 16, 2015.
In an email disclosing the report, which the Department of Education has not yet released, Green River College President Suzanne M. Johnson said no one was surprised by the findings.
"Our own assessment, confirmed by the findings of the review, makes it clear that we did not have clear policies, procedures and resources for Clery reporting. As we and many of our peer institutions have learned, the requirements of the Clery Act are complex and require multiple resources," Johnson wrote in an email disclosing the report.
"While the Department of Education has not made this report public, I feel it's important to share it with the Green River community," Johnson wrote.
Johnson said the college has already taken a number of steps, to date, to improve its reporting of crime statistics, among them the following:
• Created an internal Clery Compliance Committee in 2015 with representatives from campus safety, Title IX, housing, judicial affairs, facilities, college relations and human resources;
• Hired a new director of campus safety and an assistant director of campus safety;
• Implemented new technology to track and code Clery crimes;
• Provided additional training for staff responsible for Clery reporting;
• Improved transparency of communications for college issues that present safety concerns.
• In May of 2016, changed the crime incident log to "Report Exec," nationally-recognized software that supports Clery information reporting requirements, including specific location data and incident report disposition;
Reviewed and re-mapped all Green River college Clery geography to establish areas the Clery Act defines as "on campus, on-campus residential and public property";
Reviewed all Green River College off-campus activity, class or workshop locations, including the dates and times of use, to identify Clery Act defined "non-campus property" and established procedures to update this data every February.
Changed procedures to standardize writing, reviewing, and classifying incident reports to ensure occurrence within two business days.
After the U.S. Department of Education reviews GRC's responses, the college will receive a final report, which it will share with the public.
The Green River College Board of Trustees discussed the report at its regular meeting on Oct. 19. After the meeting, the preliminary Clery report was made available on the Green River College website.

From Small Talk in Interview magazine July 1973:
"TRES GAY: The cream of the cream turned out in their whitest t-shirts and tightest jeans for the opening of New York's newest nightspot, Le Jardin, which bills itself as a 'discotheque pour monsieur.' The featured attraction: Miss Candy Darling making her nightclub debut on her way to the Flamingo of Las Vegas. Spotted: lightweight boxing champion Chu Chu Malave with Paris fashion illustrator Antonio Lopez; happy hooker Xaviera Hollander with a fleet of happy hustlers; editor Danny Fields talent scouting for Sixteen magazine centerfolds; Paul Jabara who's musical Rachel Rosenbloom... And Don't You Forget It hits Broadway this fall; Gerri Miller [the stripper in Trash] twirling her breasts for the boys at the bar; Poutassa De La Fayette who flew in from Fire Island to 'see her good friend Candy Darling'; sultry Juan De Jesus whose life has quieted down since Salvador Dali left for Paris; and Sal Mineo with a large entourage including Jill Haworth."

In one of the funnier website squatter stories out there, Electronic Arts took advantage of Activision's laxness in buying web domains to prevent cybersquatters, and purchased ModernWarfare3.com - and has it redirecting the traffic to Battlefield 3's official site!
Will this influence Call of Duty gamers into buying Battlefield 3? Regardless, it has to chafe Activision to no end.

Dutch: We finally have a Level Six right where we want them.
Johnny: In the bag. No? Too much?
Dutch: So the cure for Sixes is banging D'av?
Johnny: Yeah, well as much as I would like to claim that one for clan Jaqobis… No.
Dutch: It's Sabine.
Johnny: Yeah.
Dutch: It's Sabine in a bag.
Johnny: Yes.
Dutch: Johnny, why did you bring me Sabine in a bag?
Johnny: Not a lot of better options.
Dutch: Oh I think when you're in girl in bag territory you skipped way the hells past better choices. What is going on?
D'avin: She's a Six.
Johnny: You know what? This is none of your business Bell. I can take a solitary warrant if I want to. I don't have to explain myself to you.
Bellus: You're right. As you were. Hey, whatever you're up to. They deserve better from you.
Turin: I gotta go dark for a while. Clean house. You and your team are on your own.
Dutch: You're taking Sabine then, right?
Turin: Can't do it. Her people will probably send the Black Root for her here.
Dutch: Khlyen mentioned them. What are they?
Turin: They're like a secret police of the Sixes. Keep their people in line.
D'avin: I let Sabine go. I know you're not gonna agree…
Dutch: Stop. I can't hear you over the knife in my back.
D'avin: Dutch.
D'avin: She's Black Root. She's not some Level Six guardian angel with boobs, or whatever the hells you thought she was.. Khlyen didn't send her to watch us. She was using us to find Khlyen.

He stole back my freedom, and no one will ever steal that from me again.Dutch
Johnny: I think that's how the plasma works. It adapts to whatever organism it encounters. It bonds into something new.

When Detective Rebecca Madsen is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to a shocking suspect: Jack Sylvane, a former Alcatraz inmate who died decades ago. With her investigation impeded by government agent Emerson Hauser, Madsen teams up with Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Dr. Diego Soto. They both soon discover that Sylvane is not only alive, but he's loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake, and does not appear to age. With the inclusion of Agent Hauser, they realize that Sylvane is only a small part of a much larger, more sinister present-day threat. For while he may be the first, it quickly becomes clear that Sylvane won't be the last prisoner to reappear from Alcatraz.
Captain Matthew Gideon is summoned to Mars, where he is to take command of the Excalibur to begin the mission to find a cure for the Drakh plague somewhere in the depths of space. Captain Gideon was handpicked to command the Excalibur by ISA President John Sheridan. The first challenge Gideon faces is assembling his crew; with some reluctance about bringing Dureena Nafeel onto the crew as she was a member of the Thieves Guild, however Gideon was able to get her onboard, she then informed him of Galen the techno-mage. Galen meets with Gideon on a planet and after questioning Gideon he agrees to join the crew. With his crew assembled Gideon begins the search for the cure to the Drakh plague.

Meet Megh, a very close friend of mine. This is her portrait in "CreationS" style.
Her actual name is Meghna, but I call her as "Megh".
I attended her wedding last month and this is portrait describes all that memories..!
Her unique Peacock Jewelry, my favorite, was the easiest way to create her Portrait.
And trust me she agreed when she saw this painting first time.
The day I finished this, I surprised her with its first PRINT,
and she said, "Hey that's me..!!"
I Love peacock, and that's why this is one of my favorite too..!!

Whether you agreed with the proposed House of Lords reform or not, one thing that has been outstanding in the past two days of debate has been the standard of the contribution by MPs. Speeches have been lucid, considered and well-argued received with courtesy by those listening whether supporters or opponents. In the absence of most of the front-bench 'big guns' and more accurately because of their absence, we have had two days of debate in the House of Commons rather than the normal Rottweilers howling at each other across the despatch box. The result was a climb-down on the programme motion to limit debate to 10 days in the face of a massive Conservative revolt pushing the substantive bill into the autumn….essentially not a crisis averted but a crisis delayed. The government may have won the second reading but it no longer has control of the timetable and there are obvious parallels with the Lords reform proposed by Harold Wilson in the 1960s that failed as the result of widespread filibustering.
Now the party blame game has begun. The Labour Party has been 'ostrich-like', for instance. Michael Gove's defence of the Prime Minister's authority on Newsnight was combative but unconvincing. It was clear that scores of Conservative (and one should add Labour) MPs were prepared to defy the party whip to vote against a measure they view as fundamentally flawed. This cannot be seen as a victory for the executive however one construes it. It was a victory for backbench opinion, a triumph of reasoned debate over executive hubris. So there now are calls for consensus on reform but David Lawes, patronising in his tone, appears unwilling to accept the argument of the need for a referendum (it was included in all three party's manifestos in 2010 so there's no need). This shows contempt for the people, perhaps of reflection of the loss of AV, and is eminently anti-democratic. Yet again we appear to be in the grip of a political elite that knows what's right for the people and that's that.
Without consensus, there is little chance of the bill passing the Commons without substantial time being expended and then the prospect of having to use of Parliament Act to force it through the Lords. Now you may argue that there are other priorities than constitutional reform and waiting a few more years is a drop in the ocean given that the process of reform is already over a century old. It is difficult to know how the issue will progress. The current bill will encounter widespread opposition and is unlikely to pass the Commons, however long it is debated, in its current form and however poor the bill is now a mangled act will be even worse. The only way forward is through consensus. Many of those who opposed the programme motion and the bill did so because of the nature of the bill, the refusal to allow a referendum and the bill's lamentable lack of clarity not because they opposed House of Lords reform per se. Unless the government and opposition can agree on a bill including a referendum, then the saga of House of Lords reform could be with us for several more decades.

Aston Martin DBS Ultimate revealed
Aston Martin celebrates its 100th anniversary next year and to put a suitable exclamation point on that historic event, the automaker has created a special edition based on its current flagship model: the DBS. Appropriately slated for a production run of just 100 units, the Aston Martin DBS Ultimate will be available in both Coupe and Volante convertible body styles, each boasting a series of exclusive cosmetic touches. Exterior enhancements are highlighted by a unique dark grille treatment, carbon-fiber mirror caps, a body-color decklid spoiler, license-plate garish, smoked taillight lenses, Zircotec-coated exhaust finishers, Diamond Black alloy wheels, yellow, red or black brake calipers and special badging in addition to the choice of Carbon Black II, Quantum Silver or Silver Fox paint finishes.
Inside, the Aston Martin DBS Ultimate features supple leather upholstery done in a diamond-quilted stitch pattern with red or silver contrast stitching and a black Alcantara headliner. Even the shifter paddles are embellished with Spicy Red leather accent trim. No changes have been made underhood, where both Ultimate variants retain the DBS' standard 5.9-liter/510-horsepower V8 backed by either 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission.
Pricing for the Aston Martin DBS Ultimate models will start at $287,576 for the Coupe and $302,576 for the Volante, and about 20-30 percent of these vehicles are expected to find their way into the hands of buyers in the U.S. A new generation Aston Martin DBS is rumored to be making its world debut at the Paris Auto show later this year.

For assembly of rotating machines, such as machining tools, industrial turbomachinery, or aircraft gas turbine engines, parts need to be assembled in order to avoid internal bending of the geometric axis of the rotor to meet functional and vibration requirements. Straight-build assembly optimization is a way of joining parts together in order to have a straight line between the centers of the components. Straight-build assembly is achieved by minimizing eccentricity error stage-by-stage in the assembly. To achieve minimal eccentricity, this paper proposes three assembly procedures: (i) table-axis-build assembly by minimizing the distances from the centers of components to table axis; (ii) minimization of the position error between actual and nominal centers of the component; and (iii) central-axis-build assembly by minimizing the distances from the centers of components to a central axis. To test the assembly procedures, two typical assembly examples are considered using four identical rectangular components and four nonidentical rectangular components, respectively. Monte Carlo simulations are used to analyze the tolerance build-up, based on normally distributed random variables. The results show that assembly variations can be reduced significantly by selecting best relative orientation between mating parts. The results also show that procedures (i) and (ii) have the most potential to minimize the error build-up in the straight build of an assembly. For these procedures, the variation is reduced by 45% and 40% for identical and nonidentical components, respectively, compared to direct-build assembly. Procedure (iii) provides better performance than direct-build assembly for identical components assembly, while it gives smaller variation at the first two stages and larger variation at the third stage for nonidentical components assembly. This procedure could be used in an assembly with limited stages.
Measurement of component variation
An example of two component assembly
Method 1 (a) assembly before optimization and (b) assembly after optimization
Method 3 central-axis-build assembly
Variation for the four identical components assembly ((a) variation from nominal axis and (b) variation from final central axis)
Variation for the four nonidentical components assembly ((a) variation from nominal axis and (b) variation from final central axis)

Isn't this white winter bridal bouquet just heavenly? As much as I adore the red & pink winter bridal bouquets featured Tuesday, this beauty stole my winter-loving heart. A wintery mix of soft whites with touches of pale green & light gray. Gorgeous, just gorgeous.

Since entering the health care field as a professional Richard Wettstein has had a passion to provide patients with the best respiratory care available anywhere. This naturally led him to become an educator to foster a new generation of professionals with a passion for excellent patient care and patient advocacy.
For more than 20 years he has been privileged to mentor students, medical residents and most recently junior faculty in becoming lifelong learners that provide only the best-evidence based medical care.
One of his greatest pleasures as the director of clinical education for our program is the testimonials regarding the skill, knowledge and professionalism of the graduates that he repeatedly encounters while visiting our clinical partners. The truly rewarding moments are when employers cannot offer enough praise for the graduates that were not academic stars but through encouragement and mentorship successfully completed the program and now provide care at the highest level.
He has now taught respiratory care in Canada, Saudi Arabia and the United States. Everywhere he travels he encounters graduates who have picked up the torch and now in their own positions of influence are promoting excellence in health care. This is what makes education such a fulfilling and enriching career.

For as much positive reaction as we've seen to the first trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy, the movie still ranks as one of the riskiest in Marvel Studios history. How much does parent Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) have to lose? Host Ellen Bowman puts the question to analysts Nathan Alderman and Tim Beyers in this week's episode of "1-Up on Wall Street," The Motley Fool's Web show in which we talk about the big-money names behind your favorite movies, toys, video games, comics, and more.
A lack of meaningful comparisons might be troubling to some, Nathan says. Especially since DIsney's most recent attempt at a large-scale space opera (i.e., John Carter) flopped at the box office, resulting in $200 million in studio writedowns. Guardians may not have enough brand equity to avoid a similar fate.
The good news? What Guardians lacks in brand equity, Marvel has in spades. The studio is already tapping that well by marketing the film as from "the studio that brought you Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Avengers." So long as the film delivers a similar sensibility -- the sort of action-comedy blend fans have come to love -- Nathan sees the bet paying off.
Tim agrees, noting that Marvel has already spent the better part of a year getting fans engaged with the characters via a new comic book series written by Brian Michael Bendis. The tone of the trailer will feel familiar to readers of the comics, he says.
Meanwhile, the trailer itself appears to have struck a chord with 13.8 million views over the past two weeks. Guardians was also a social media hit with more than 88,000 mentions in the first 12 hours of release, noticeably more than the 75,000 Man of Steel achieved in its first 24 hours on the Internet. Billboard also reports a big increase in sales of Blue Swede's 1974 hit, "Hooked on a Feeling," which provided backing for the trailer. Add it up, Tim says, and there's every reason to believe Guardians has the potential to be a Marvel-sized winner.
Now it's your turn to weigh in using the comments box below. Do you expect Guardians of the Galaxy to be a hit? Please watch the video as Ellen puts Tim and Nathan on the spot, and be sure to check back here often for more "1-Up on Wall Street" segments.

I want to start a new series on the blog. I called it How it's made. I personally love to watch how things are made and I will show you how me and my brother do things in our workshop in short videos and photo stories. We make things not only related to knives and knifemaking. We are making also other thing, like tools, machines, gadgets, jewelry, electrical, metal, wooden stuff, furnitures... There will also be a chance to learn some tips & tricks from that "photo stories".
First episode is about making clamps for our CNC machine with use of CNC plasma cutter made by my brother. The origins of that made from scrap-metal, plasma cutting monster is another story... Today take a look at how we made that very useful simple metal thing. We made the clamps a week ago and since that time we have been using them hundreds of times during our knifemaking projects. Link Clamps for a milling machine is located in the right column of the blog. Hope you like it!

Dzeko to miss AC Milan clash as ban is upheld
Roma will be without Edin Dzeko against AC Milan on Saturday after the striker's three-game ban was upheld.
Edin Dzeko will miss Roma's crunch clash with AC Milan on Saturday after his appeal against a three-game ban was rejected.
The Bosnia-Herzegovina international was sent off in the 2-0 win over Genoa last month after directing verbal abuse towards the referee.
Dzeko lodged his appeal on Thursday but, despite stating his confidence that his suspension would be reduced, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) confirmed the initial sanction would be upheld.
The former Manchester City striker will subsequently miss Saturday's meeting with Milan and the match with Verona in the capital on January 17.
Dzeko has scored just five goals in 21 appearances this season.

BMW Confirms Status of New Megacity Vehicle and Inks Battery Deal
While hard facts remain few, Dr. Norbert Reithofer, chairman of the board of management of BMW AG, has offered a bit more insight regarding the marketing path the automaker plans for its upcoming eco-oriented advanced mobility vehicles. Contrary to earlier reports that indicated BMW would create and support a fully separate brand, Dr. Reithofer stated that the Megacity Vehicles currently under development by the firm's free-thinking project i group will be sold as a sub-brand that carries both BMW and vehicle-specific badging, echoing the approach used on its high-performance "M" cars. He also indicated that the pure-electric efforts being developed by project i would not necessarily be limited to vehicles with four wheels, raising the intriguing possibility that the Megacity lineup might include motorcycles and scooters, as well. The first of this new strain of greener, more "sustainable" Megacity Vehicles is expected to hit the showrooms around 2012-13 along with other innovative variations that employ advanced gas/diesel/hybrid powertrains. Speculation exists that it may incorporate a 21st century twist to the name of BMW's original micro-classic and be called the "i-Setta" or possibly carry an "MCV" badge. For now, all we know for sure is that the project i team is closely monitoring real-world experiences of 600 people in the U.S., England and Germany who are currently driving its previous electric vehicle effort: the MINI E. To fill its future battery needs, BMW also announced a deal with SB Limotive, a joint venture between Robert Bosch GMBH and Samsung SDI, to have it supply a variety of advanced Lithium-ion batteries for vehicles in the Megacity program.

The Sunday *Sigh*: Where the Hell Are My Keys?
Losing your purse/ID or misplacing your keys is a sure-fire way to send you immediately into full-blown panic mode. There's that instantaneous feeling of dread, your heart starts beating out of your chest and you break out in a cold, cold sweat.
I am a creature of habit - with good reason since it's the only way I can remember anything. I always leave my key ring in exactly the SAME spot so they will always be right where they are supposed to be - except when they aren't...like on Sunday morning. Let the panic begin!
The search was on as I checked all the usual places. Purse? Nope. Coat Pocket? Nada. The entire kitchen? Zippity do da. Every place I could possibly think of? Zilch. I 100% stuck out.
Any guesses?
You know you always find what you are looking for in the last place you look don't you? Psssst - that's because you quit looking once you find what your looking for.
Arrrrrgh!! Where are my keys?!?!??!?!
So after some ranting and raving and a few (ok a lot) of bad words, I opened the door to go outside and lo and behold there were my elusive keys just hanging around in the deadbolt lock minding their own business. Thank goodness the burglars decided not to rob me Saturday night - talk about an open invitation.
Crisis averted - please resume your regularly scheduled programming.

You Keep Using That Word, I Do Not Think It Means What You Think It Means
One of my all time favorite films – Rob Reiner's timeless Princess Bride (1987) – has many memorable lines. One of my favorites is the title of this blog post. The group's leader, Vizzini (Played by Wallace Shawn) is a the self proclaimed 'brilliant' Sicilian. He keeps exclaiming "inconceivable" whenever something happens that he didn't expect. Finally master swordsman Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) says "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means." The same thing can be said of many descriptions of consumer products as "ergonomic."

I find that each holiday follows the same pattern - before the break-up I make a plan for activities each day so we are organised...I also try to pre-plan the meals but that doesn't always work :/ By day 3/4 I'm tearing my hair out and gagging for them to return but a few days later we've found our groove and I start enjoying our time together. It's all about readjusting your expectations isn't it? No, my house is not particularly tidy (or spotlessly clean) during school holidays but does that matter? Once I let go of the stress of not being in my usual routine, we start to have fun. And that is what's important, right?!
Nevertheless, I'm easing myself in gently this week with some tried & tested easy recipes that will make the transition back to our school routine a little easier.
Monday - Mild chicken curry with apple
We always have this when I've made a roast chicken the day before :)
Tuesday - Pasta with homemade pesto & garlic bread
Need something quick & easy after school!
Wednesday - Turkey meatballs
Another favourite in our house - I make these with pepper sauce and serve with spaghetti.
Thursday - Homemade Pizzas
The kids love helping me make these and as they put their own toppings on, it helps cater to their different tastes.
Friday - Kashmiri Butter Chicken
I made this a few weeks ago and it was *so* good!
This post is part of Mrs M's Meal Planning Monday - you will no doubt find some delicious edible inspiration from all the other link-ups if you're struggling with your menu this week!

Objective: To monitor Hemoglobin levels monthly in sixty patients of Hemodialysis and of peritoneal dialysis and to compare quality of life between two groups of patients. Methods: This study was conducted in patients who were having chronic kidney disease on dialysis but doing follow up. Half of patients were on Hemodialysis (HD) and remaining half were receiving Peritoneal Dialysis (PD). All patients' blood samples were done monthly for Hemoglobin level. At the same time their quality of life was assessed by three factors including their physical activity, functional activity and symptoms of the renal failure. Hemoglobin and activity standards were checked monthly. Patients hemoglobin level was compared, frequencies were calculated. Regression analysis was used for the correlation. Results: Sixty (60) patients were studied including 98(78%) and female 27(23%). Mean Age in years was 41 to 68. Out of them 43(34%) of CKD, 41(32%) on HD and other 41(32%) were on PD. Monthly mean hemoglobin levels were calculated. Relationship value of low hemoglobin with quality of life was determined. Result of effect of low hemoglobin on functional activity was significant P Value 0.000142. Conclusion: Low hemoglobin effect the functional activity while other parameters physical health and symptoms were not being affected.

It seems that my dedicated blog post day of Thursday silently faded into Friday…. it might go back to Thursday again,who knows.
Time itself is moving faster and faster but everything else moves a lot slower than I had anticipated originally and another delay is in sight for the book. September has passed and I just ripped off another page of my old fashioned wall calendar and now I am looking at the one representing October of 2010. The year just had started!! Yikes!
Last week I was talking about compassion and the attempt to live every day like it would be my last. This is a stressful thing to do I realize, but it also can be rewarding.
And so it happened that I met a person the other day who is suffering from burn out syndrome the same way I did in 2007. Granted every person has a different experience but when I sat there looking for the right words to describe how I felt when I was in the darkness of a depression and a mental break down, I also realized that now I know why I had to go through this experience. I guess there is no other reason then being able to help others. I never looked at it this way and ever since it all happened I asked myself "Why me?" and now three years later I got the answer. I can relate! This is the secret to all compassion.
I was looking for the parts in the book where I tried to describe the feelings of being freaking lost in the world not knowing what will happen in the next minute, hour, week, or month just drifting along in utter confusion and awe observing what was happening to my body, mind and spirit.
An excerpt from Chapter 24 "The crash" from "To Drink the Wild Air" about the observations when the brain stops working:
My entire body started trembling, and moments later my hand was shaking so badly, I could no longer click the mouse button. I made myself a mere bystander to my own project presentation and lost interest in even attempting to appear competent, but was still able to manage the situation under immense constraints. An inner fog surrounded me and all the voices I heard seemed muffled; when I looked at my colleagues seated around the room, I only saw grimacing, scary clown faces. This was the very moment I lost the ability to purposefully control my body with my mind, and instead my body merely manifested whatever my burned-out brain was dictating. The meeting ended, but the trembling of my body continued. I had become trapped in all this turmoil and saw everything racing around me at dizzying speeds, in screaming colors and with a loud grinding noise.

At this time of year; all the vegetables are now safely harvested and the autumn flowers are out. And so we celebrate this time of plenty with wonderful festivals.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go to this years' festival but I helped to set it up a day early and so met some wonderful people.
Here, a sweet guy had brought his entire allotment, and has set it up in boxes under a plastic tunnel in the main street of the town.
I also got to meet "The Melon Man" who carves these wonderful pictures and patterns into melons. I expected him to be using a dremel or another carving tool but no, he uses a six inch knife. He's quite amazing. He was also on the "Britain's got talent" show this year.
and yes, we has typical British festival weather to set up in. But nothing stops us; yes they are pinning pieces of cauliflower to a ten foot tall polystyrene sheep! The idea was to cover the whole thing in cauliflower (yes, the vegetable) but it took more than the day to do it and eventually, the whole thing collapsed under it's own weight. They will try again next year.

text: Howdy Folks, I'm going to get to my 12,500 mi annual service within about 5 months of owning the car. I don't anticipate the monthly miles I drive to decrease any time soon. I was planning on doing the annual service every 10 months (25,000 mi interval) rather than 2x a year at $600 a pop. I know $600 on an $80k car isn't much, but twice that a year will add up. Am I crazy? I don't mind holding off on annual service upgrades, etc. and so far aside from some interior rattles/squeaks I don't have any issues with the vehicle that need addressing. Opinions/Advice welcome!

Well, I made it to my three-day weekend, and I came out of my lab final alive! So excited that that class is over. I'm just not cut out for pathology, and it was such a struggle to even pass. I can't believe I did it. I'm really proud of myself, and now I just have one more lecture exam before I'm done with class FOREVER. I can't wait. I love school, but seriously, I am almost twenty-five years old, and I'm tired of taking tests.
To celebrate, I'm off to the mall in a few minutes for some shopping, dining, and (of course) a trip to Anthro. Hopefully I'll be able to review some great new arrivals for you guys. For now, I wanted to post my outfit that I wore to my poster presentation last week. For those who were curious, it went really well! I got good comments, and I was really pleased with how I spoke to the judges. There's nothing I'd change about it. I have another chance to practice presenting a poster in about a month, so hopefully that one will go just as well.
Laced with Grace dress, Hallowed Halls Oxfords (Anthropologie)
Necklace from my work hospital
Everyone seemed to love this outfit, and people were complimenting my shoes and/or dress all day. Woah. Still not something I'm used to as a Fashion Disaster in Hiding (see this post), but I'll take it!
Enjoy your weekend (if it starts now!), and have a great day!

Shedd's Underwater Robotics program introduces teachers and students to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) principles through the development and application of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to investigate aquatic environments. The Underwater Robotics Club provides educators with the knowledge, materials (an ROV kit worth of $1,000) and support to run their own after-school robotics clubs. The program ends with a fun-filled poolside event for teachers and students to test their ROVs. Then, Shedd holds the annual Midwest Regional Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) ROV Competition, open to all underwater robotics clubs.

While most cat owners would not say that their furry friend is particularly high maintenance, Philip Eu's patented Gatefeeder controlled-feeding system will make the animal even more independent and less stressful for any owner.
The system is designed to ensure that each cat in a home gets the right amount of food that is needed for its particular diet. Each Gatekeeper comes with a Smart Id tag sensor that attaches to the animal's collar. This tag allows the feeding system to know when a cat is approaching the feeder and whether it is cat that is supposed to be eating the food inside.
The Gatefeeder controlled-feeding system will be helpful in multiple cat homes by ensuring that each pet is eating the right food for them instead of munching away on any bowl in the house. It will also be a great way to ensure that a kitty receives its medication, if needed.

The Ninth Circle is a fast-paced journey though the fantastical criminal underworld of Dublin, and its parallel in the circles of hell. There are a pair of sisters who are at odds with each other, and another sister who is missing, presumed kidnapped.
Although the concept, setting and even the writing style itself all appealed, the use of "episodes" instead of chapters, which each episode felt as though it was a stand-alone TV programme was disjointed. I don't expect each chapter to have its own full story structure and be brought to nearly full-resolution. This structure stopped the story from flowing as well as it could have, as well as making the whole book feel like a failed pitch to a TV network.
This book was supplied to me by Netgallery in exchange for an honest review.

Creating flow in academic writing
Workshop by Taylor Krohn, English teacher at Premier Taaltraining | @premiertaal
Taylor, what was the best advice ever given to you?
The best advice I ever received is about constantly improving yourself and not comparing yourself with others. I swam competitively for many years as a child. My dad always used to say: "It doesn't matter how fast your competitor is swimming or whether you come in first, the only thing that matters is that you beat your own time.
Description of the workshop
In this workshop you'll learn to apply a technique that will help your sentences flow from one to the other with more ease. Banish choppy, unrelated sentences and learn to look at your writing from the perspective of the reader.
For more information on the programme of National PhD Day 2016, go to the programme page.

There's no bigger rapper than Sarkodie in Ghana – Cassper Nyovest
South African rapper, Cassper Nyovest, may have just inadvertently waded into the running debate on the Ghanaian music scene over who is the biggest rapper in Ghana.
The South African rapper who won the Best Hip Hop act award at the just concluded Soundcity MVPs shared his thoughts on the issues of Hip Hop music on the continent and said most African rappers are unable to cross from their territory to conquer the rest of the continent.
Cassper who was speaking during an interview in Nigeria said regardless of how big artistes are in their home countries, they are hardly able to make it as big in other countries.
The "Doc Shebaleza" crooner explained that hip-hop is not an African sound; it was obtained from America. He was optimistic that Africans will one day find their own hip-hop sound which will be peculiar to them.
Speaking on the domination of the South African music on the continent, Cassper said; "South African Hip-hop is in the forefront of African Hip-hop in general. It might not be as popular as it is in South Africa and in Nigeria. But I know for a fact that the rappers from Nigeria are kinda unknown in SA. If we talk about crossing over, I know that a lot of people in Nigeria know about my music. I know that in Kenya and Ghana it's the same thing".
He added that, "I'm not just talking about me, I'm talking about the movement. Sarkodie is big in Ghana, but are there other rappers who are as big as Sarkodie from Ghana? The South African Hip-hop movement is big across, also in London, New York…we are out there performing in different countries.
"Me saying that might offend people here. They might feel that I'm taking shots at Nigerian music. But that's not the deal. If we are to discuss in terms of numbers and appeal across the world, it's just the way it is," he concluded.

Welcome to Hartley's Cycle Shoppe
The name Hartley's has become synonymous with quality bicycles for generations of local families.
And, it's no wonder. Hartley's Cycles Shop has been serving customers for over 52 years since first setting up inventory in the basement of Charlie Hartley's house on Thurlow Street in 1958.
The shop quickly expanded to an alley location on Harrison Place until 1973, the year the business moved to it's current site at 24 W. Hinsdale Ave.
A lot has changed since then, but the attention to detail, quality products and customer service remains the same. When Charlie Hartley retired 16 years ago, his son Ken purchased the family business after 25 years in corporate America as chief financial officer for different companies. The younger Hartley was trained by the best, working for his father from third grade through high school and occasionally in college.
We carry bike brands Bianchi, Electra, Giant, Surly, and Cannondale bicycles.
