This year's theme of FOLLOW THE YELLOW BUS ROAD is an invitation to take the route of the yellow bus. Follow that route to safe transport, to stop bullying and to a better start to the school day for the children of our state. In this year's conference, that road will lead to excellent training, real connections with colleagues and a deeper commitment to pupil transportation. That road will lead our attendees through a trade show that is our own kind of emerald city – our Chrome Yellow City. A place where individuals from all walks of the pupil transportation industry can come together to achieve excellence and our vendor members have a chance to really shine.

Ten Resons For The SEC Bias Throughout The NationSeptember 18, 2008
For the past few football seasons, there has been an overwhelming bias towards the SEC. There are currently 5 SEC teams ranked in the Top 10 of the AP Poll, and those same 5 teams are in the Top 13 in the Coaches Poll. Add in the 4 teams receiving votes in the AP poll and you have 9 teams out of 12 in the conference that are getting at least one vote that says they're one of the 25 best teams in America.
9 out of the 12 teams receiving votes in the AP Poll include traditional heavyweights Georgia, Florida, LSU, Alabama, and Auburn in the Top 25; plus lightweights Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and South Carolina and a down-sliding Tennessee team receiving at least one vote.
The comical part of this whole thing is that South Carolina is 1-2, they lost to perennial doormat Vanderbilt, but still got one vote as some sort of reward for putting up a tougher fight against Georgia than most people expected.
So why all of the SEC bias? Is it just recent? Is it historical?
Fans outside of the Southeastern United States are sick and tired of hearing about how mighty the SEC is compared to the rest of the nation. The rest of the SEC fans, the rabid fanbases of 12 different schools, who look at the rest of the nation with the same discontent that is shown to them, could give a flying you-know-what about what someone in Ann Arbor, Columbus, South Bend, and Los Angeles has to say about them.
Here are ten reasons, both recent and historical for all of the SEC bias.
10. 24 National Championships in 75 seasons
That averages out to a National Title every three years. 9 of the current SEC member schools have won at least a share of 1 National Championship. 7 of those 9 schools have won at least 2 National Championships.
9. 4 BCS-Era National Champions
4 of the 10 BCS champions have come from the SEC, and the only school to win multiple titles is also from the SEC (LSU). Only the Big 12 has more than one BCS National Champion.
8. The last 2 BCS-Era National Champions
Florida and LSU have won the last two National titles, so the SEC is still fresh in everyone's minds.
7. The 'Yeah, but....' syndrome
LSU lost 2 games last year and won a National Title.
Yeah, but....
They play in the SEC, The 2 losses were in triple-overtime games to an SEC opponent.
USC has throttled Arkansas twice in the last 3 years.
Yeah, but....
They didn't play LSU, Florida, or Georgia on the road at night on ESPN with Gameday there.
Florida got whipped by Michigan in the Capital One Bowl.
Yeah, but....
Michigan was a senior-heavy football team trying to win the game for their out-going coach.
SEC teams don't play quality out-of-conference opponents.
Yeah, but....
The conference is hard enough without having to play decent teams out of conference.
6. The SEC at-large teams in the BCS are 4-1.
SEC at-large teams enjoy beating up on other conference champions. SEC teams have won 4 games as at-large opponents. The results have not been pretty either. Each SEC at-large team that won a game beat an over-matched opponent:
Florida beat up Big East Champion Syracuse by 21 points in the 1999 Orange Bowl.
Florida blew by ACC Champion Maryland by 33 points in the 2002 Orange Bowl.
LSU smoked Notre Dame by 27 points in the 2007 Sugar Bowl.
Georgia beat WAC Champion Hawai'i by 31 points in the 2008 Sugar Bowl.
Only Tennessee went out and laid an egg against Nebraska in the 2000 Fiesta Bowl.
5. The SEC has better coaches and players than any other conference.
5 SEC coaches have a National Championship, 2 have posted undefeated seasons, 2 more have come back from the NFL to coach, and the coaches of the 'worst' SEC programs (Vandy and Miss State), would be consistent winners given the talent level of LSU and Florida.
As an example: Les Miles is still the same coach he was at Oklahoma State. He wins more now because he has better players in Baton Rouge than he did in Stillwater.
6 players from SEC schools were taken in the first round of this years' NFL draft, including 4 of the top 10 picks overall.
4. The SEC is televised from top to bottom
And, it's only going to get better, or worse; depending on who you ask. In a previous article, I wrote about the current and future state of SEC sports being on television. When the SEC is televised to the nation and not just a small subset of states, people see talented teams from the SEC and give more weight to the SEC bias that is already in place. It worked last week for USC, although not an SEC team, their convincing win over Ohio State was nationally televised, and it reflected in the current polls. When the SEC TV deal kicks in, the upper realms of SEC schools will be seen from coast to coast, and provided they win, they will continue to be rewarded in the upper realms of the polls.
3. 11-4 BCS record (.733 Winning percentage)
Once the SEC teams are done beating up each other during the regular season, they take out their aggression on the rest of the country. Only 3 SEC Champions have lost a BCS bowl game.
2. The SEC is undefeated in BCS National Championship Games
Since the inception of the BCS in 1998, SEC Football teams that play for a National Championship are 4-0 with an average margin of victory of 13.75 points.
1. Undefeated Auburn being shut out of National Championship Game
This is probably still the biggest reason the SEC gets so much attention. Undefeated Auburn had to contend with a brutal SEC schedule, and then still was shut out of a chance at a National Title, only because USC and Oklahoma were also undefeated. This scenario of 3 undefeated teams in the BCS needed a plus one game. It also is an underlying reason why Florida made the BCS Title Game in 2006 over Michigan.

Are you sabotaging your weight loss without knowing it? Spot, then stop, these common diet problems.
Caution: Snacking when you're beyond hungry
It's easy to lose control of what and how much you're eating if you snack or have a meal when you're famished. And if you leave your snack choices to chance, you end up grabbing whatever is accessible from a vending machine, coffee cart or convenience store. Chances are, what's available won't necessarily be what's healthy.
The fix: Plan snacks ahead of time. Healthy snack choices contain 100 to 200 calories and a combination of protein (for lasting fullness) and produce, which can keep you feeling full with its high water content. Good choices: 1 tablespoon of peanut butter smeared on a few stalks of celery, string cheese and a small apple, or a small container of plain low-fat yogurt with sliced strawberries.

Hickey Celebrates End Of Season In Style With DUI
Yesterday marked the end of the regular season for MLB, and the teams who didn't make the post-season will scatter like the wind. While many will be disappointed not to have made the playoffs, it's also a reason to celebrate - their seasons have come to a merciful end. Some though, like Devil Rays pitching coach Jim Hickey had too good of a time. He was arrested late Sunday and charged with DUI, hit and run, and resisting arrest without violence. Now that's a way to party!
Police said an undercover officer saw James J. Hickey, 45, run his silver pickup into the back of a green pickup at First Avenue and 16th Street S, in front of Tropicana Field. The green pickup was driven by Devil Rays batboy Matthew Felix Carlson, and both men were stopped at a traffic light, said St. Petersburg Police Department spokesman George Kajtsa.Hickey didn't waste any time getting into the off-season, and he followed suit with a quick apology. In a world full of apologies, he at least sounded sincere, and contrite. Whether or not Hickey will return to the team is uncertain, but at least it's clear that he now has one of the more amusing booking photos in recent memory.
Carlson pulled his 1998 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck over to the side of the road, but Hickey took off toward Interstate 275. The officer, who was not in a marked car or uniform, followed him up Interstate 275 and communicated with other officers, who stopped him north of Gandy Boulevard.

Happy fucking St. Patrick's Day. I wish everyone would just die already.
On a related note, I'm getting really tired of being treated like a piece of shit by all the people I thought were my friends.
No, I'm not drunk. Not yet anyways. But I have a big bottle of rum sitting here at the ready.
Now if only I had a bottle of sleeping pills to go with it.

Southwest Wildlife
An Uncommon Common Plant
The humble creosote bush proves its adaptability over
tens of thousands of square miles of southwestern desert.
Story and Photos by Jay W. Sharp
Although the creosote bush (Larrea Tridentata) has exotic features something like you might anticipate finding only in a rare species, it is probably, in fact, the most dominant and widely distributed shrub of our southwestern deserts.
Creosote bushes grow in a wide range of Southwest desert environments like, for instance, this community on a rocky desert hillside. (All photos by Jay W. Sharp)
It covers literally tens of thousands of square miles.
As William G. McGinnies noted in his Discovering the Desert, the creosote bush's ability to adapt to diverse and harsh conditions exceeds that of "any other desert plant." Moreover, it ranks high on the list, if not at the top, of the longest-living organisms on the planet earth. It hosts a varied assortment of wildlife guests. It has even served, since prehistoric times, as a natural pharmacy for medications used by Native American and other peoples to cure a variety of ailments.
For all its exotica, the creosote bush — one of the most stable members of the desert plant community — will appear in force to greet you in almost any walk or drive through a Southwestern desert landscape.
Chosen Environments
In times of drought, the creosote's leaves turn from dark green to golden brown.
As McGinnies indicated, the creosote bush can prosper — sometimes in pure stands — in a wide range of difficult environments. It can, for example, make its home hundreds of feet below sea level, for instance, in California's Death Valley, or more than 8,000 feet above sea level, in Mexico's Zacatecas mountain ranges. It grows quite happily "on well-drained deep alluvial soil, on the edges of alkaline flats, on sandy plains, and on the rocky slopes of volcanic hills." It not only dominates plant communities across the natural landscapes of our Chihuahuan Desert as well in the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts; it has asserted control of desert grasslands that have been overgrazed by domestic livestock or disturbed by development or by the plow.
It has survived events that offer us stunning insight into the resilience of life. In Gathering the Desert, for example, Gary Paul Nabhan recalled how ecologist Janice Beatly found that 20 of 21 creosote bush plants incinerated — at ground zero — by a thermonuclear explosion at Yucca Flat, Nev., in 1962 had fully recovered by 1972.
The Plant
An evergreen shrub that may range from 3 feet up to 12 or 13 feet in height, the creosote bush produces a spray of branches from its root crown with leaf clusters near the ends. In our Chihuahuan Desert, which usually receives slightly more rainfall than the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts, the creosote typically grows in a roughly spherical shape, leaving a fair amount of stem and leaf detritus and a slightly more nitrogen-enriched soil beneath the plant canopy.
In times of adequate rainfall, the creosote bears a good cover of dark green leaves.
The leaves — two quarter- to half-inch-long leaflets joined at the base — bear a resinous coating. They exude a creosote-like smell if crushed between your fingers or soaked by a shower. (Spanish-speaking peoples sometimes call the creosote bush the "hediondilla," or "little stinker.")
Creosote blooms — inch-long, yellow flowers with five petals — can light up the plant soon after a decent rain, especially from spring through the fall. Its fruits — grayish brown, fuzzy and corn-kernel sized — are composed of five fused one-seeded carpels, or reproductive organs. Once dropped, the fruits spread, not by floating on desert breezes nor by attaching to animals' coats, but rather by wind-blown tumbling across the earth's surface. They may resist breaking apart to release the seeds for some period of time.
The plant's root system includes a tap root that may extend several feet deep, often just reaching the caliche hardpan that underlies much of our desert region, and it has fibrous and relatively slender secondary roots that extend laterally for perhaps 10 to 12 feet and only about a foot beneath the surface.
The creosote bush can propagate either by seed germination or by cloning. Surprisingly, although the shrub produces abundant fruits, it reproduces relatively rarely by seed germination, according to the US Forest Service. This is because its fruits (shed during the fall here in the Chihuahuan Desert) release their seeds reluctantly, and then usually at the wrong place and at the wrong time for germination.
A creosote bush seed, once it is released, probably stands the best chance of germinating if it is lucky enough to have been gathered, scarred and buried by a rodent in a burrow located in broken soil on a sloping surface — provided that fortuitous event happens concurrently with moderate rainfall and temperature. A seed that lies in topsoil through the desert summer, exposed to drought, high temperatures and daytime sunlight, will, most likely, simply die.
By comparison, an established creosote bush frequently produces new shoots — clones — from the outer edge of its root crown, according to the Desert Ecology website. Although the heart of the crown eventually dies, shoots continue to "gradually move outwards in a circle and then become separate plants, all derived from the original one." In effect, an original plant, from a germinated seed, continues its life through its clones.
Drought Tolerance
"Creosote is the most drought-tolerant perennial plant of North America," according to Desert Ecology. "It can live for at least two years with no water at all." A creosote bush can survive seasonal temperature swings from several degrees below zero Fahrenheit in the winter to several degrees above 100 in the summer.
During the hot summer season, as the day progresses, the creosote effectively keeps the margins, not the flat surfaces, of its leaves turned toward the desert sun. It thereby minimizes the leaves' exposure to solar heat and transpiration (the loss of water though a leaf's stomata, or pores). During extreme drought, the creosote's leaves turn from dark green to golden brown, and the plant effectively prunes itself, shedding many of its leaves and even branches to minimize its water requirements.

<The Afflicted> of US-Greymane is a US 100s 25m Horde guild created in August of 2005. We've consistently been the top 25m Horde guild on our server, holding realm first kills for many heroic Cataclysm bosses (including H Al'Akir, Sinestra and Nef). We're a guild you can rely on to remain a 25m, staying strong and competitive for expansions to come.
We push to progress quickly and skillfully through hardmodes, while still being able to obtain achievements. When current content isn't pressing, we are active on the PTR to help best prepare for upcoming raid encounters. TA members are active outside of raids as well; many of us participate in alt runs, do random dungeons/achievement runs, and sell mount runs. There is also activity in PVP including arena, battlegrounds, and rated battlegrounds. We have an active vent community, and many of our members play other games together, including Dota2, LoL, D3, GW2, etc.
We are struggling a bit currently with recruitment due to a dwindling server population and are looking for a new horde realm to transfer to and call home or for a group of raiders to come to us. We would like to either merge with another well-progressed guild with similar circumstances or find a group of dedicated progression-minded raiders looking for a guild to call home.
We are currently 7/16 HM and 16/16 NM 25 man in Pandaria. We have room or could make room for nearly any spec currently. Speak with one of our officers or recruiters (listed below) on Greymane for specific information.
During progression we raid 4 days/week, 7 – 11 pm CST.
Tuesday 7pm – 11pm CST
Wednesday 7pm – 11pm CST
Thursday 7pm – 11pm CST
Monday 7pm – 11pm CST (Clean-up)
This last tier we only raided 3 days/week. With the anticipation of MoP, we have added Monday to the raid schedule to help us make a stronger push for US top 75.
Invites go out 15 minutes prior to raid start. Raiders are expected to be on promptly and prepared to go at this time. Feasts are provided by the guild bank; raiders are expected to come prepared with potions and knowledge of the fights.
During farm content our schedule is much more relaxed, typically 1-2 days (depending on the content) to clear. We also run optional alt raids during the weekends.
90% attendance is required of our Members. With that being said, we understand that emergencies happen and "real life" occasionally occurs. Letting an officer know of your absence/lateness via the forums, in-game, or text message is what you should do if one of these situations occurs.
"On time" means you are logged on your main character, ungrouped, and in the corresponding raid zone at 6:45 when invites are sent out; preferably at the summoning stone or in the instance if you are a Warlock.
Such things as finishing arena games, instances, daily quests, or being on an alt are not acceptable and could result in demotion if it becomes a habit.
Loot System:
<The Afflicted> is Loot Council. We divide loot by means of a loot council comprised of the guild officers. We take into consideration various factors such as:
• Performance
• Raid attendance.
• Previous Loot.
• Current Gear.
• How hard you try to excel in your class bracket and how you perform in raids.
• Time put in the guild (experience).
Applicant Expectations:
• We are a guild who enjoys cutting edge raiding while still having a good time. We have a very laid back atmosphere outside of raiding, but when it comes to progression we like to get things done. We expect applicants to be like-minded in this aspect.
• We expect applicants to enjoy raiding, theorycrafting and excel at all aspects of their class
Applicants should be of a similar level of progression. We also value past raiding experience.
• We expect applicants to be able to easily adapt to our strategies and contribute positively to our raids and guild community. This includes both in raids, and on the forums.
• Applicants should be able to handle constructive criticism. We give applicants every opportunity to excel during their trial period. We treat them with respect, and we don't throw them out after two errors - everyone can have a bad night, even the best of players. We recognize that it can be nerve-wracking to try out in a new guild where you don't know anyone
• We expect applicants to have a sense of humor. We like to joke around, have fun, occasionally tease each other; most of our members have been together through several expansions, and some since the beginning. We like sarcasm and the occasional crude joke.
• We expect applicants to communicate clearly in vent when they need to, and to keep vent clear during progression raiding.
• Applicants should have a stable connection and computer that can handle progression raiding in a 25 man environment.
• As we require our applicants to have 100% attendance unless otherwise discussed prior to joining, we expect all applicants to be able to adhere to our raiding schedule. This also includes not AFKing regularly, arriving late, leaving early, or otherwise hindering smooth raiding.
If <The Afflicted> sounds like something you could be interested in please speak with me (Ambíen - i is alt code 161) or BattleTag - Jen1193#1466, Kilda, Sleight, Vhal, Arriuss or BattleTag - Arriuss#1616, or Telepathy on Greymane horde US.

If you haven't heard about Vince Staples yet, you've been missing out. Hailing from the LBC, Vince is one of the single best young talents that the West Coast has to offer.
Vince has been making waves since his initial breakout with the Odd Future crew and has recently even signed a deal with Def-Jam and the legendary No I.D.'s label Artium. Everything you need to know about how dope Mr. Staples can be found in his ridiculous, breakout verse on "Hive" by Earl Sweatshirt. While you're at it, Vince has released a slew of projects over the course of the past few years, including the Shyne Coldchain series, (both 1 and 2), and the Hell Can Wait EP. It all culminates to his debut album, Summertime 06.

Looks nice, but huge waste of time Not yet rated
I needed to download a 7.26 gb file, and needed a download manager to make sure nothing wrong could go on during the download. I was downloading at roughly around 90-100kb/s so it took a little over a day. When i woke up in the morning it said 100% but server error. I searched the whole PC for any file over 7gb, nothing....I wasted a whole day on this for nothing, any other spyware filled download manager would probably do much better, dont waste your time with this if you are planning to download something big. Gave it 1 point for UI.This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.9.10).

She looks really lovely at the BAFTAs (and in the slick orange dress).
I am a tad tired of strapless though...

While the dress is pretty. Who the hell is it that keeps on slicking down her hair. It doesn't suit her at all. She needs bounce. Rachel Zoe just doesn't get her. She needs to go back to whoever dressed for in the red Oscar dress. Jennifer should be kicking *** on the red carpet.
ROBBER - Get down on the ground. Face down. C'mon. CHER - Oh, no. You don't understand, this is an Alaïa.
ROBBER - An a-what-a? CHER - It's like a totally important designer.
When in doubt, wear red.
Beautiful dress but the hair is again really bad. It ruins everything. Besides I really don't like its color. I wish she had kept her darker hair from Silver Linnings or at least got back to full blond, this ain't working.

She has a big bust, broad shoulders, stop with the strapless gowns already.
I have been loving her minimal/womanly day dresses she's been wearing for events lately, just wish her red carpet style could be sorted out.

Prettypretty! She has definitely become my favourite actress in hollywood right now. I loved her whole look, even the slicked back hair, I don't think anything else would have worked for her given the weather conditions.

Okay, so I saw SLP and don't really understand the hype over her role. She was good but it was the same kind of gregarious-ness (maybe opinionated is a better word) that's reminiscent of how she comes across in real life.
By all means, I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to deviate towards what comes naturally to oneself nor am I downplaying her talent. I think her role WB was incredible so it's obvious what range she has. But, to me, this movie had more to do with chemistry between characters than one lone character, though I do think Bradley Cooper was the standout.
I haven't seen the other nominated actresses' films, maybe her role is better than theirs but I have my doubts.

^^^I agree. Honestly, I loved SLP and a huge part of my love for it is that it's an ensemble piece. None of it would work without all the pieces of the puzzle. And if anybody deserved to be singled out for recognition, it's Cooper, who was incredible. Jen was great, too--as per usual (I have to say, she's one of maybe three young actresses that I'm truly excited about, talent-wise)--but I can smell Harvey all over this. Sorry. She's right to thank him in her speeches, because really everybody was great in this film; there's no one performance that stood out to me (aside from Cooper's and he was the lead, so that's a given). They were all strong across the board. Then again, this may be vicarious jealousy (if that's a thing, lol) for Quvenzhane Wallis, who I really wish would win. But alas.
She looks gorgeous though. This is the first look of hers at a major awards show this season that I've actually liked. She's not my best dressed of the night, but she looks divine and her body is so killer. Ugh.

^^ I thought her performance was great, she's a good actress and that really shone through. I'm glad I saw it before the "hype" because I think I would have the same opinion as you two and expect way more. But I saw it before the Oscar nod and when they announced her name I could definitely see why. Having said that, I haven't seen any of the other nominees but I think it's safe to say that the acting standards today don't really require a lot. I don't want to take away from Emmanuelle Riva though because I'm sure she's amazing and I haven't seen anything she's been in but the others on the list don't have a large breadth of work from which to go by so...I have to go with Jen because her performance is pretty Oscar worthy imo.
Speaking of which, I hope she steps it up in the fashion department and looks great from head to toe. She's got a lot to work with so she should be on top of her game by that time.

i don't think any actress her age would have been able to do that role in SLP as good as Jennifer did. Sure it wasn't anything completely groundbreaking but she nailed the character's emotions
i've seen her in a few movies before seeing SLP and wasn't a fan of hers but this movie made me like her.

She's a knockout in that orange dress. Her dress at the BAFTAs is nice but nothing spectacular. I hope she brings it come Oscar night.

When Wes Littleton got back to the Texas Rangers clubhouse on Aug. 22, 2007, he tossed the game ball into his locker without much thought.
But a Major League Baseball representative made him think twice.
"Some guy from the MLB came up to me and said, 'Hey, you got that ball? You set a record,'" Littleton said. "I was like, 'What? What record?'"
Littleton, 29, had just pitched the final three innings of a 30-3 Rangers road win over the Baltimore Orioles. His 27-run cushion is the most enjoyed by a pitcher while still earning a save. One way to earn a save is to effectively pitch the final three innings of a win no matter the margin of victory.
It was the epitome of what some in baseball call a "vulture" save.
Because of Texas' enormous lead, he didn't realize he'd been credited with saving a game during which every Rangers batter drove in a run, with the exception of perennial all-star Michael Young.
"The thing is, when I got the save, I didn't even know I had it," Littleton said. "I was just happy to throw three scoreless innings."
Littleton said the MLB representative asked him for the ball he'd placed in his locker so it could be put in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y., where is still resides.
Nearly five years later, Littleton is in a different situation.
The sidearm hurler pitched for the Rangers in 2008 but was sent to the minors and traded twice. Then he had Tommy John surgery to reconstruct the ulnar collateral ligament in his right (throwing) elbow in December 2010.
Littleton didn't pitch at all last year, but now has a second chance in the sport thanks to the Amarillo Sox and General Manager Mark Lee - known for being a vulture of another feather.
Lee pitched with the San Diego Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates during the late 1970s and early '80s. His tendency to pick up wins by virtue of being the pitcher of record during a comeback victory earned him the nickname "The Vulture."
Lee has a spot in Amarillo National Bank Sox Stadium called "The Vulture's Nest," and his Twitter name includes the word vulture.
Lee has high praises for Littleton, who had a 3.69 ERA with the Rangers and has a 3.97 ERA in his minor league career.
"He's got tremendous stuff. He's coming along great," said Lee, whose Sox begin their second American Association season at 7:05 p.m. Friday at home against the Winnipeg Goldeyes.
"He knows how to get hitters out."
Littleton, who pitched in 102 ? innings with the Rangers, will also be an asset in the clubhouse, unlike some former MLB players who are trying to get back.
"Wes has been a dream," Lee said. "What a great guy. What a nice guy. And he's good."
Littleton, who had no agent during his year out of baseball and sent his own emails and made his own calls to team GMs, is happy to be back pitching.
He's especially thankful for the Sox, who were the only team to offer him a chance to pitch this season.
"I'm just glad to be here," Littleton said. "Just glad to have a chance."

we had a bond that seemed almost instantVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Female
Hi, um this is a tricky one. I have been very close to this guy for about two years now. We are best friends. Since the very begining I have had feelings for him and I knew when I first met him that he was unique and he was special. Well we had a bond that seemed almost instant, honstly it was the strangest thing I have ever incountered, there is a lot in between now and then, to keep a long story short lots of hug and other intimate things that I don't think younger people should read about, nothing too raunchy, The things that happened between us were things that danced along the edge of breaking the friend ship barrier, no kissing, just very close hugs. Anyway a few months ago we started growing very close he brought me to meet all of his friends from church and has even gotten me started in his church. We hang out all the time, the only thing that puzzles me is that about 7 months ago he told someone he liked me, but just didn't want a girlfriend at that time. When we are alone he will occasionally hold my hand, if we play and he hurts me he'll kiss it and make it better. He has touched some intimate parts of my body, but in a playful manner and for about five moths strait he called me everyday. He constantly flirts. When we sit close to one another he will usually make sure that his knee or whatever is touching me. He always says goodbye with a close hug. I'm the person he confides in with his personal life. I don't know if we are going to ever have this wonderful relationship because everytime somebody talks about us being together he says we are just friends. I honestly don't know what to do, I mean does it seem that we are more than just friends, is he scared of commitment or what I['m really scared to come out and say<"i love you" because of what he says to people about us. What is going on? Please help this problem is driving me crazy. by the way, I'm 17 and he is 19.
RomanceClass.com Advice
You need to confront him or you will be hurt. He may be afraid that you don't like him. You'll never now unless you ask, politely, what is going on. If he says he only wants to be friends, then don't let him say or do things to or with you that you wouldn't let a friend do.

Exciting the alternator?

Re: Exciting the alternator?
Even a tiny wire from that ground screw on the housing to the chassis will make it pass an ohmmeter test so you must do an active voltage-drop test under load (headlights, etc. all on) between the alternator housing and chassis ground. If it fails, check again between the housing and the pedestal to see if it's just due to the painted housing. If the main grounding point where the alternator housing contacts the saddle has high resistance, that little wire will take more of the current and quickly go up in smoke. The ground path must be capable of handling the rated output of the alternator (~55A for a stock one).

Intonation: Solving Intonation problems
Dear Listers:
Less than 24 hours and I have the most fabulous advice in the world. I
can't wait to try it all out on my women's choir.
Here are the responses. Hope I got them all.
Thank you, everyone.
Rachel Grantham
Whitehorse Community Choir
Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
It sounds like you have tried many things...have you
tried transposing your pieces? Also, if any of the
singers know solfege, ask them to sing their piece in
solfege first. Another interesting exercise to get
them to listen is to change a major key piece to minor
listening for the different placement of half steps
(or vice versa).
I recently conquered the same problem after failing with virtually
every solution you mentioned!
The problem ended up being that I was doing all the thinking and
listening for them.
As long as I continued to think for them, they were never able to fix
the pitch problem themselves.
Require only that they listen to the whole group while they are singing
and make it their responsibility to adjust the pitch.
Pitch is one of those things where the more you chase after it, the
more elusive it becomes.
If the singers truly listen to the WHOLE CHOIR while they are singing
and are still unable to sing in tune, they will simply not be able to
sing in tune.
At that point, you really do have a problem!
My first recommendation is to have the ladies sing and pull out one
each time. When they don't go flat, you know that soprano out may be
problem (then have a private talk and suggest a bit more sotto voce from
her). The next step is to have the ladies sing into a wall (they can
themselves better that way). Sometimes that helps intonation as well as
timbre. The last suggestion is to have the ladies reach out to a wall
that they are on their toes, while practicing. This forces the singer
breath lower and have a lower center. All of these techniques I use
frequently with my ladies, as well as singing in a circle.
I suppose depending on the size of your ensemble, you might try
the choir using a blended sound (e.g-voice matching from darkest to
lightest, timbre etc. and bury the poor ones) OR, you could seat them
in a
mixed/scrambled arrangement instead of S1S2A1A2 you could re-seat every
S1A2S2A1 etc.....this may alleviate some pitch issues, especially if the
women have been diligent at trying other things. However, the scrambled
setup is only useful if you have excellent readers, or after the notes
learned. Consistency in Vowel shapes is the biggest culprit. Specific
imagery that helps my group which is SATB, is thinking they have bitten
an apple, or have a hot egg in their mouth. Being relaxed as a singer
another helpful hint. If you wish to find who exactly has the pitch
I often 'audition' the sound by narrowing it to groups of two to three
individuals. Then, I fix the issue and move on. My singers realize
are not being singled out because they are 'bad' but because 'they don't
know how'. That is a very useful tool.
Oh yes, one flat singer can and will pull everyone down and it becomes
slippery slope. Often the sinking will stop at about a
semitone...well. I
have been grappling with this issue forever with 14-18 year old singers
but this a bigger issue than hearing in tune. There is a physical
sensation of being in pitch derived as much from awareness as from
memory or other factors.
I presume that you are conducting adults of all levels of training.
the less trained (or not formally trained...I'm trying to be PC...it's
hard sometimes) You become the voice teacher and your warm-ups are the
voice lessons. It is worth the ten minutes per rehearsal. Use your
technique as a model but the singers must be told how to do what ever
are asking them to do. Have them think in terms of support, resonance
focus. You may, as well, think of your pedagogy in these catagories.
are mysteries in singing but the physical facts of vocal technique is
voodoo. Just as your leg has the reasonable expectation to perform in a
certain manner, so does the voice.
Are you rehearsing strictly a cappella? are you at least feeding notes
so that there is a reference to the pitch? Or, this a violation of the
adage,Never try to teach pigs to sing. It frustrates the director and
annoys the pig.
Last month I found myself in the oddest place, a Saturday Physics
lecture at Syracuse University. The discussion was Chaos Theory. There
were a lot of "Gee whiz, Mr. Wizard" demonstrations but the one that
really made me sit bolt upright was this:
The professor displayed a two gallon bucket from which was sticking a
slender, glass pipette. He filled the bucket with water and magnified
resulting stream of water with the video camera. The thin stream was
coherent for a certain length after which the stream began to break
and spit. This spitting was governed by Chaos. The next step was to
feed a
pitch (it seemed any pitch would do) across the stream of water. The
camera showed that the spitting had completely stopped and the stream
coherent along its entire path. It was if the pitch had wrapped itself
around the stream of water thus, in a sense, tuning it. This, finally,
the analogy of singing in tune which I had been seeking.
Good Luck.
In my experience, the magic ingredient that keeps the intonation good is
placement of the voices. The two "tricks" I use to get this are:
(a) constantly asking the singers to "smile with their eyes" when
singing. This is
further reinforced by my doing the same at all times.
(b) Have the singers breathe in through their noses and feel the "cool
between the
eyes, ie where the cool air "hits" the sinuses. I then encourage them
to sing
"from the
cool spot" sending the sound forward from between their eyes.
As for warm-ups, I develop this forward placement with an exercise in
they sing
down so-fa-mi-re-do with "mee-aw" on each pitch. I ask them to "snarl"
on the
"mee" part.
The sound can be a bit ugly. The goal is to get a REALLY bright forward
sound; I then
ask them to put that "ee" into the dark "aw." We work downward by
B- major, Bb-major, A-major etc), getting the brightness into the low
notes on
the dark
vowel. I often refer to this search for brightness down low as "mining
diamonds, not
for coal."
Conducting wise, it is upward gestures that will help the intonation.
In 4,
even beats 2
and 3 must have an upward, pointed quality. This combined with those
eyes will
really ensure better intonation.
All the other things you're saying about keeping the tone light are
too, but I
think these added ingredients will really help.
Breath support?
Frequently the problem with flatting is support. Try incorporating lip
trills and other support exercises into your warm-ups. When flatting is
happening, have the group sing the phrases on lip trills.
Also, I always do tuning exercises during warm-ups. I ask the choir to
sing an A 440, on oo, without the piano. They can usually do it after
the first rehearsal or two. Then I do third-tuning exercises
(1-3-5-3-1, on vowels, listening for the thirds).
Yes, one person can take the whole choir down. But until everyone really
starts to listen, they will never sing in tune. Demand that everyone
and sing in a way that they can both sing and listen at the same time.
not a difficult task, just one that most people are not used to doing.
have you tried changing the key? I've found that where a piece lies in
relation to the passaggio can affect tuning. I avoid F major, and
prefer sharp keys. Perhaps you'd be interested in my article on the
"Choral Flatting: Sometimes It's a Matter of Register Transition." The
Choral Journal 29 (February 1989): 13-18.
[Note: The Choral Journal is a Canadian publication. The article is by
Mel Unger.]
Have you tried changing the keys of the pieces that are the culprits?
Every ensemble has at least one key in which they cannot stay in tune.
Why? Who knows? I have most frequently had trouble with a cappella
pieces in F major. Sometimes moving the piece a half-step in the
direction away from the natural migration helps.
You may also want to look at your own conducting. The gesture we use
(too heavy, not bouyant enough, too high, too flaccid, or whatever) can
adversely affect the tuning. Are you modelling appropriate breath and
line in your gesture? Video taping yourself can be painful, but it
sometimes reveals our unknown sins.
Do you mean they can't tune chords, or that it drifts flat? If it's the
latter, consider having them sing with a reference tone for a while
(i.e. a pedal point from a keyboard, or have one part just sing a
monotone while the others sing a melody). Learning to come back to the
same point they started is a trainable skill.
Take the time to have them stand according to how the various timbres
fit together (Weston Noble idea from decades ago). Start with one
person (a voice you like) and have her sing with each person in the
group (stand in a single line). Let the singers help you decide whose
voices "fit" together based on tuning and colors that are compatible.
When that first person has the right partner, the partner then goes
through the same process. I use this process at the beginning of the
year and then redo the timbre placement as needed throughout the year.
It'll fix your problems, I hope! One other thing. Movement with
singing (Doreen Rao idea) solves lots of intonation challenges. All
the talking in the world sometimes only makes things worse.
The answer to such a question is very difficult to find without actually
being there and hearing the singers and the group. Yes, one or more
could be pulling down the pitch. Vibratos could cause problems. Balance
the group is often the culprit. Have you tried having the group sing in
quartets, matching voices, placing sections differently with perhaps the
Altos in the middle instead of on the outside? Have you tried tuning
Great questions! ( And I would like you to forward a compilation.) I
try to
audition on a piece we will be performing at the first concert and hear
a cappella at auditions.
Have you tried having them sing in trios or quartets to isolate the
offenders? Also, singing quarter and even eighth steps, especially
helps singers start to feel wider half steps and sing them in tune.
Dangerous perhaps, but have you tried taking out one singer at a time?
Dear Rachel,
Try abandoning the use of piano during warm-up and rehearsal. Make each singer accountable for pitch.
Put variety and challenge into the patterns you use for warm-up by changing the intervals e.g. ask for a semi-tone where there was previously a tone, etc. try using a minor scale instead of a major scale for warm-up. (or a whole tone scale, chroamtic scale)This will wake up their ears. Sometimes singers become de-sensitized to the challenges of warm-ups when they sing the same ones repeatedly. The basic "unit" of tuning is the semitone - they must be able to reproduce this accurately. When this is achieved, move on to whole tones, minor thirds, major thirds, building complexity and increasing challenge.
When trying to improve tuning on particular chords in the repertoire, start with the root, then add the fifth. (Nothing will be in tune if that isn't accurate.) Then proceed to the third and other chord tones. When that chord tunes, move to the previous chord and practise changing from one chord to another. This is not only a listening exercise, but a kinesthetic one, and it works well.
Of course, all of this pre-supposes that the singers are using sound vocal technique, which will have a profound impact on pitch.
These ideas are certainly not new ones, but I hope they might be of some help to you.
Good Luck to you in the Yukon choral scene!

Hi all, another major issue giving rise to intonation problems is the placement of the voice. As i encounter with my own choir, one reason why certain sections keep flatting is because their voices do not have enough forward resonance, and there is too much space in their mouths. This gives rise to a dark choral tone as well. I find that by developing forward upper resonance in the singers, coupled with good breathing and support will often help to reduce intonation problems. Just some views. Hope it helps.

Hi Christopher and Vojtech, a remark concerning the template approach Vojtech mentioned. (Note: in Calabash the template step is still called p:document-template.) In Christopher's case, the template-based solution is far from elegant, isn't it? The template mechanism is fine, but it is a pity that it is only available as a step, not *directly* applicable to p:inline. Hence the extra step, bad readability and verbosity. What I would wish for were a template variant of p:inline, something like: <p:inline-template> <p:with-param name="..." select="..."/> <p:inline> <foo>{$bar}</foo> </p:inline> </p:inline-template> Has the working group considered that?

Thermoplastic Water System
The use of thermoplastic plastics in pharmaceutical and biotech water and process systems is gaining greater acceptance. Water systems are often more efficiently operated when thermoplastics such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF) and Polypropylene (PP) are employed as compared to ones constructed of stainless steel. It is important to consider the unique properties of thermoplastics when evaluating their merits for your system requirements. Issues such as thermal expansion, operating pressure and system temperature need to be taken into account. Should a water system's criteria fall within the acceptable range of thermoplastics' operating conditions, the choice of plastics over metals can easily result in years of troublefree and low maintenance operation. This is demonstrated and proven by the many existing PVDF and Polypropylene Purified Water and WFI systems.

by Kelly Caputo and Eseosa Olumhense
Described by Harpur College Dean Anne McCall as a "consummate teacher" and a "man of great service," accomplished professor Benjamin Fordham shared the findings of his recent research at this year's Dean's Distinguished Lecture.
"The depth, breadth and timeliness of the subjects that he teaches make him yet again one of our highly valued faculty members in Harpur College," McCall said.
Fordham, who is chair of the Department of Political Science, addressed an audience of faculty, staff and students on "Protectionist Empire: Trade, Tariffs, and United States Foreign Policy, 1890–1914" on Nov. 15.
Previously serving as the Kissinger Scholar in Foreign Policy and International Relations at the Library of Congress, Fordham's current research focuses on how political and economic factors influence policies regarding force, military spending, alliances and international trade.
Fordham's presentation covered the influence of trade and trade policy on broader protectionist foreign policy made by the United States between 1890 and 1914, or rather, trade restrictions placed on foreign competitors.
"I'm talking about decisions on intervention and military preparation, relations with other states, and the role of the U.S. and international systems in general," Fordham said. "The role of the search for overseas markets in this process has been really well documented and discussed for a long time. What I want to emphasize today is the fact that the dominant party favored a highly protectionist trade policy."
Fordham's lecture also illustrated the differences between Republican and Democratic views on tariffs, which are taxes on internationally imported and exported goods during the period.
"The debate over how high the tariffs should be became increasingly nasty and partisan after 1887," Fordham said. "If you look at congressional voting on this issue, there's almost perfect correspondence between being a Democrat and voting against the tariff and being a Republican and voting for it. It's a highly partisan issue."
Additionally, Fordham spoke about three implications of having a party in power that wanted to build a strong presence in overseas markets and yet also wanted high levels of protection.
"First, there was a focus on less developed markets during this period," Fordham said. "Policymakers talked about overseas markets, they talked about Latin America and they talked about China."
Fordham noted that this focus should seem strange to us.
"The reason it should seem odd is that the best markets for U.S. exports were most definitely in Europe and in developed countries," Fordham said. "The reasons for this are not hard to figure out, these were far wealthier areas than the other areas of the time, like China or Latin America."
The second implication Fordham discussed was "the search for exclusive bilateral agreements or unilateral privileges when it came to setting up the trading system that the U.S. wanted." While focusing on the arrangement during the 1890s, Fordham also made a connection to the tariff system today.
"The ideal agreement was one in which the U.S. would give a tariff concession on something that wasn't produced in the United States and in exchange for that, privileged access would be granted for American manufacturers," Fordham said. "Today, tariff reductions are also made in much the same way, through bilateral agreements, but they get extended to everyone else through most favored nation status."
Fordham noted that this process was vital to the multilateral free trade order that was built by the United States after World War II.
The final implication Fordham addressed was that of unilateralism and increased perception of international threat, focusing on the lack of cooperation in this foreign policy.
"It is, in fact, a policy that is directed at excluding other states by political means from markets they might otherwise have and also persuading less developed states to accept tariff rights that they might not necessarily want to give," Fordham said.
Fordham ended his lecture by stressing the benefits of unilateralism.
"Unilateralism continues to make sense at each point," Fordham said. "So it makes sense in the 1890s and 1914 period because you're pursuing a really uncooperative foreign policy. It makes sense in the 1930s because you don't want to see the U.S. intervene in Europe. It makes sense in the 1940s and 1950s because you're skeptical of all of these multilateral agreements and especially multilateral trade agreements that these democratic policy makers are proposing."

Joensuu, Finland
This seminar was organized by the European Forest Institute, the University of Joensuu (Faculty of Forestry), IEA Bioenergy, COST E21 and the Silva Network. More than 100 participants attended, mainly from European countries and the Russian Federation.
Mr Miguel A. Trossero of FAO's Wood Energy Programme presented a paper on "The current wood energy use in Europe", which describes the production and consumption of woodfuels (charcoal, black liquor, fuelwood) in different European countries. The existing information and data available show that the bioenergy share is increasing in several European countries, especially the Nordic ones (Sweden, Finland and Denmark) and France (where biodiesel use is increasing rapidly), as result of new environmental measures and energy policies. However, the full potential of bioenergy is not yet being utilized in the region.
Mr Trossero concluded his presentation with a brief description of the limitations imposed by the terminology currently used and the amount of information available on bioenergy aspects, which impedes the proper development of bioenergy.

How can i put HTML codes in comments or my posts and show them to others?
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
put HTML codes in comments. How?
last time I checked PRE elements (and many others) were stripped off by paranoid filters.
that said, probably, you can't... but did you try just put them in the comment box, what was the result?
wordpress clean all of them.
- I want to show some HTML Codes and tags to others, but wordpress clean all of them.
Here's the FAQs reference for html http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/06/08/allowed-html-tags/
When it comes to using html in comment boxes I have found that this seems to be theme dependent. In some themes html is accepted in the comment boxes and in other themes it's stripped out. Here's an example from the Andreas 09 theme of what's allowed in the comment boxes
XHTML: You can use these tags:   <acronym title="">
      <q cite="">
Note that the OP is using Kubrick and I do not see any legend in that theme indicating that any html can be used in comment boxes.
tt it shouldn't be theme dependant. Some themes do not include the stuff telling you what is allowed. And some themes use CSS differently. But the stripping process is not carried out at the theme level of abstraction.
Thanks for correcting and enlightening me. Can you help with this "Kubrick" problem (stripping all html from comments) that the OP has?
To put html into posts it needs to be either *escaped* or the html itself needs to be converted into characters eg &lgt; etc. There are generators that do that or you can do it in your head (if you can remember it) or look up a chart. Comments need the same. I think that's what the guy means. He wants to post code so that it is read. Not processed. I think. :)
I agree with 404's interpretation. The user wants to show HTML, and the correct way is to escape the brackets. It's very simple.
Use the ampersand (&), followed by the letters (either "lt" for Less Than (<), or "gt" for Greater Than (>)), then a semicolon.
I'd illustrate the usage, but the forum translates it even in a code block.
It didn't work.
Persian language start from right to left. and when i try to put ">", wordpress can't know these codes. I will try again. thanx a lot.

Here's another great review of the Audi RS6 Avant and we have found only such ones. Fantastic car indeed!
Fast wagons are awesome. So much power in such an unassuming and
580 horsepower and two turbos will distance this from the E63 and M5 wagons.
practical package; they're the perfect cars for the family speed freak. This year couldn't be better for those who adore this particular breed, as we've seen the international introductions of big and small wagons from Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. But if there's a car that's going to make people sit up and pay attention, it's this brand new Audi RS6 Avant.
Under the hood of this stealth wagon is a monster of an engine.

text: The ability to observe an object through binoculars and at the same time capture a photo or a video caused a development in producing digital binoculars that combine these two features. Today many big companies produce digital binoculars that present the future of optical technology. They enable you to take a photo and video with a press of a button therefore they house a digital sensor and do not require a prism. They are bigger than regular binoculars but in comparison to carrying both binoculars and digital camera separately the weight size is not such a problem anymore. Digital binoculars are suitable for birdwatchers, hunters, travelers and all who want to observe objects and immediately capture their image. They usually come with a featured LCD for instant display of an image. At most times they also integrate night vision ability, which makes them useful for observations in low-light and dark situations.
