Centre's Board approves new strategic plan: Part 1
RELEASED: February 14, 2008
"This plan intends to provide Centre with a compelling direction for the next decade and the foundation for the College's next 25 years," says Centre's President John Roush.
"Some of the ideas presented will be most ambitious and not all will be accomplished in the next five or even 10 years," he adds.
Roush; Clarence Wyatt, Pottinger Professor of History, special assistant to the president and chief planning officer; and Jacky Thomas, director of alumni affairs, began initial work on the plan in 2004, and the public phase of the drafting process began in 2005.
"The plan is important because every institution and organization needs to assess where it is in its own history and development, in addition to figuring out where it fits in the current environment and in the future, as best we can guess about that," Wyatt says.
"Much of Centre's progress over the past 25-30 years has come from engaging successfully in just such a process of understanding its strengths and weaknesses and matching those against trends in the wider world," Wyatt continues. "If we don't do this kind of thing, we are much more vulnerable than if we try to turn change to our advantage."
1. Become widely recognized for offering one of the nation's premier undergraduate experiences in global studies. Centre's global studies program will provide an array of curricular, co-curricular and extracurricular offerings, all including extensive study and work opportunities abroad. The College will be among the first choices for young people seeking strong undergraduate preparation for graduate study and careers in a global setting.
2. Create a nationally recognized model for engaged and experiential learning by enabling students to participate in:
All of the above elements will be effectively conducted through active and purposeful planning and management of each student's experience.
3. Recruit, retain, reward and support a faculty and staff that is at once of the highest quality preparation, committed to the College's distinctive mission and reflective of Centre's diverse communities.
4. Maintain and enhance Centre's historic and increasingly distinctive commitment to being a place of both high achievement and high opportunity; increase the number and quality of applicants, allowing Centre to choose to grow in a manner and pace that it controls and that advances the College's educational and financial goals.
5. Maintain and enhance a holistic learning environment in a highly residential community by creating physical facilities and spaces that support and match the quality of the College's academic and student life programs.
6. Use information technology to enhance the core elements of the Centre experience—rigorous inquiry, community, collaboration and creativity.
7. Create a financial base adequate to support the fulfillment of the College's aspirations, through effective management of current resources and the development of new and increased sources of support.
8. Sustain a long-standing tradition for having a dynamic and engaged Board of Trustees that provides balanced policy-level leadership and seeks to advance the College in all ways in its gifts of work, wisdom and wealth. In addition, establish a model of program for engagement of and communication with Centre alumni, parents of current students and friends.
9. Become, through the example of its programs and its leadership in issues of higher education, a place of greater influence in the American academy. In addition, continue to be that place in the Commonwealth of Kentucky—on an increasingly national and international stage—where conversations on issues of importance to the larger society take place.

"US Ambassador David Wilkins is sick of political points in Canada's election campaign being scored at the expense of the two countries' relationship.

Nittany Lions trample Longhorns, improves overall score to 5-0
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Fourth-ranked Penn State grabbed a convincing 3-0 (25-22, 25-21, 25-22) win against No. 2 Texas. The Nittany Lions improved to 5-0 for the season, while the Longhorns are now 5-1.
Scott led the team for the second consecutive night with 12 kills, while McClendon posted 11. Hancock paced the offense with 34 assists and had five kills in seven errorless swings. Sophomore Lacey Fuller led the Nittany Lions with nine digs and freshman Megan Courtney tallied eight. Slay had a match-high four blocks and Courtney added three.
Penn State recorded a .265 hitting percentage against the Longhorns. The Nittany Lions totaled 43 kills, five aces, 40 digs and 7.5 total team blocks. Texas hit .188 with 36 kills, three aces, 38 digs and 7.0 team blocks.
The Nittany Lions opened the match taking a 5-3 lead, but Texas answered with a 4-0 run for a 7-5 edge. A McClendon kill and a double block by sophomore Nia Grant and Slay had the score knotted at 7-7. The two squads went back and forth with the score tying seven times before a Scott kill and a Hancock ace moved PSU up by two, 16-14. After a Texas timeout, two Texas kills and a PSU error had the score at 18-all. Three Texas errors helped Penn State to take a 21-19, which grew to 23-20 with a Slay kill and a Longhorn attack error. Texas called a second timeout and grabbed two points off of Penn State service errors. However, McClendon pounded two kills to close out set one in Penn State's favor, 25-22.
It wasn't until halfway through set two that either team was able to develop any momentum to take a strong lead. With the score knotted at 10-10, two consecutive PSU kills and an ace from senior Kristin Carpenter had the Lions leading by three, 13-10. Texas called a timeout and slowed the Nittany Lions enough to take a 14-13 lead. Texas's lead grew to two, 16-14, and again at 19-17, which forced a Penn State timeout. Texas had a serving error to give Penn State the ball and Scott and Hancock each pounded a kill to move the Lions in front by one, 20-19. Texas used its final timeout and tied the score at 20-20, but a 3-0 Nittany Lions run had Penn State within two of taking the set, 23-20. A solo stuff by Texas proved to be the Longhorns' final point as a McClendon kill and a Texas error secured set two for PSU, 25-21.
The Nittany Lions took control early in the third frame with a 6-3 lead. The Longhorns used an early timeout, but Penn State held on to its three-point lead at 8-5. The Nittany Lions maintained the lead until more than halfway through when the Longhorns knotted the score at 15-15 after an ace and a kill. The score tied twice more before a Courtney kill and a block from Hancock and Slay had PSU with a 20-18 advantage. The Longhorns called a second timeout, but a block and a kill from the Nittany Lions pushed Penn State closer to the finish at 22-19. A Texas error and a McClendon kill had Penn State at match-point, 24-20. The Longhorns tallied two final points before a service error sealed the win for Penn State, 25-22.

Commit to Fit | Week 30
Author: Commit to Fit 2011 Winner, Dave McKew
When you lose a lot of weight (and yammer on and on about it all over the internet), all sorts of people start coming out of the woodwork with their own weight loss stories. Recently I met three people who have told me they'd lost 60-100 pounds at some point in their lives. I asked them each to show me a picture of their previous selves; all of them said something like "I didn't keep very many" and I found that to be an odd response even though all three said it.
My first thought was why would anyone throw away their pictures, or perhaps, more realistically, be shy about sharing them? I've always loved my pictures, I've got over 3500 photos of my various adventures on my Flickr page and they've had nearly 100,000 views. Even at my biggest, I always thought I looked good and was pretty photogenic. But recently, after looking back at my photos since meeting these three people, I realized that my opinion of how I used to look has changed, or at least shifted a little.
I recently looked back at some of my travel photos from 2010 and 2009 and found myself squirming when I saw how fat I'd become. I'd always felt that people are essentially socialized to be repulsed by fat and I suddenly wondered if I had been, too. So many photos of myself that I used to be proud of were suddenly starting to feel embarrassing to me. Other photos I looked at caused me to remember how many photos I never posted, because they couldn't be strategically cropped to make me look less fat.
It's hard to describe this feeling that maybe the last 15 years of my life were some horrible mistake where I deviated from some path where I might have been happier, healthier, or at least looked better. I have never thought of myself as unhappy, but now I'm suddenly concerning myself with "where might I be had I lost this weight sooner?" Have I been in denial (perhaps to protect myself) about looking and feeling good over allthese years?
About six months ago I decided that I needed to focus on the present in order to reach my desired future. But sooner or later, one does need to take a good look at the past. I'm having a hard time reconciling 15 years of solid self-esteem with how great I'm feeling about myself now. Maybe when I've finished this weight loss "journey" I'll have enough distance from it to put this all in proper perspective. I'm thinking that right now I'm simply too close to it to really understand it.
One thing is for certain...I want to be mindful about completely divorcing my present self from my past self. I cringe whenever someone says "you are a different person now." No, that is not true. I am the same person; I just look different, and perhaps I think and behave differently. But I am, and have always been, me.
I know that I won't appreciate being thinner if I can't remember being fat. So I'm not going to hide my pictures from anyone and I'm not going to hide them from myself.

First make the mint simple syrup: Put 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water into a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat. Bruise the mint a little by rubbing it between your fingers. Add mint to the syrup and set aside until it cools, at least 1 hour. Strain into a clean jar and discard the mint. Cover the jar with a lid. Leftover syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
To make the drinks, fill 4 glasses with ice. Put 2 tablespoons of mint simple syrup into each glass. Top with about a cup of club soda and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Stir gently and garnish with a mint sprig. Add 1 1/2 ounces of gin to each glass, if desired.

The Fun They Had
Starting next week I will have "speeches" in all my classes - year 7, 8 and 9. It's always great to be in smaller groups (of 5-6 people), have speeches and let the students give each other feedback (two stars and a wish). This time, the speech should be about a "favorite thing/person/place" and last for about 4-5 minutes. While the small groups listen to each others' speeches, the rest of the class (in the 8th and 9th grades) will get to read "The Fun They Had", the classic short story by Isaac Asimov. They will get some post-reading questions and will also be able to listen to the story . The story has always been a favorite of mine, ever since a friend sent it to me from the U.S.A. The story always gives rise to good discussions about where the world is going and how the school system is changing. Thumbs up for Asimov's story!

EU passports that allow holders to travel freely across the continent and easy access to the UK are being offered for sale on the black market, a Justice Minister has warned.
Dominic Raab said the Britain must leave the European Union (EU) if it is to regain control of its borders and ensure security.
His comments prompted fears that terrorists may be able to get hold of passports and travel across the EU's open-borders zone.
The Mail quotes Mr Raab as saying: "At the moment, we can't bar anyone in possession of an EU passport or identity card unless they represent a 'genuine, present and sufficiently serious threat' to our security."
"Even if that high threshold is met, we have to disclose the reasons to the individual barred, even if that itself could endanger national security."
He added that he had seen evidence of a Cyprus-based estate agent journal advertising passports for sale.
"This shows open, flagrant selling of EU passports," he said. "Once people buy these EU passports and with it citizenship of an EU member state, they have the automatic right to come to the UK because of 'free movement'.
"Given this is already happening at scale, imagine how much worse this problem will be after the next wave of EU accessions."
His comments come as it was revealed Prime Minister David Cameron had previously promised to "pave the road from Ankara and Brussels" and "fight" for Turkey to join the EU despite now claiming Turkish EU accession was "decades away".
Back in 2010, after just becoming Prime Minister, Mr Cameron said on a trip to Turkey: "It makes me angry that your progress towards EU membership can be frustrated in the way that it has been."
"This is something I feel very strongly and very passionately about. Together I want us to pave the road from Ankara to Brussels."
Rumours are now circulating that Mr Cameron may promise a referendum on Turkish EU membership in the last days of the campaign this month.

KFC Creates a Runway Collection in a Lunch Hour for London Fashion Week
BBH Challenged Designer Katie Eary to 'Pack More Into Lunch'
By Emma Hall. Published on Sep 17, 2015
Editor's Pick
KFC has chosen the unlikely backdrop of London Fashion Week for its latest "Pack More Into Lunch" challenge. The fast food brand is launching a new 500-calorie lunch option, called the Ricebox, and to mark the occasion asked British fashion designer Katie Eary to create an entire spring/summer 2016 catwalk collection in a single lunch hour.
Bartle Bogle Hegarty London's film shows how the task, which would normally take four months of painstaking preparation, is completed in just sixty minutes. A team of 100 people, made up of machinists, stylists, hairdressers and make-up artists, are all seen working frantically, stopping only for the occasional forkful of Ricebox. When the task is complete, there are cheers and applause and air kisses all round. One fashion blogger in attendance said, "In an hour, I probably couldn't even get dressed!"
As well as creating the collection, Katie Eary has designed limited edition packaging for the Ricebox, which serves chicken alongside spicy rice, bean salsa, sour cream, and lettuce. Katie Eary, best known for her work with celebrities including Kanye West, follows in the footsteps of rappers Chip, Kano and Wretch 32, who produced a music video in a lunch hour for KFC earlier this year.
London Fashion Week runs from Sept. 18-22.

Guwahati, Oct. 26: Officials of India and Bhutan have called for efforts to set up a funding mechanism to ensure trans-boundary monitoring and co-operation between both the governments to conserve wildlife in Manas.
A report, Tigers Across Borders, released a few days back in Bhutan by its agriculture minister Pema Gyamtsho, hinted at the significance of Trans-boundary Manas Conservation Complex.
The report stated the findings of the first phase of a joint tiger monitoring study undertaken by Bhutan and India in 2010-11.
Partners involved in the survey included the governments of Bhutan and India, WWF, Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Aaranyak and The Bhutan Foundation, which identified 14 tigers, five each living in Manas tiger reserve and in the adjoining Royal Manas National Park in Bhutan, and four that are common to both the parks.
The report said the conservation complex a trans-boundary landscape stretching from Ripu reserve forest in India in the west, to Bhutans Khaling wildlife sanctuary in the east, Jigme Singye Wangchuk National Park in Bhutan to the north could be the only landscape in the world with eight species of cats co-existing in the same area. The eight species include tiger, leopard, clouded leopard, marbled cat, golden cat, leopard cat, jungle cat and fishing cat.
A WWF official said the second phase would start in next month using camera traps. Efforts need to be made to develop a sustainable funding mechanism to ensure trans-boundary monitoring and co-operation between both the governments. In general terms, a strategy that consolidates and then expands the present achievements can be followed to strengthen the trans-boundary conservation initiatives, the report stated.
It said future plans should evolve a lasting commitment by the two governments of India and Bhutan for wildlife monitoring.
Future programmes should also concentrate on developing specific field skills and practical training, to report poaching and illegal trade of species. These initial steps will inspire confidence to build partnerships and commitment for a long term collaboration, the report added.
BTC deputy chief Kampha Borgoyary said the council was responsible for conserving this trans-boundary landscape and worked closely with Bhutan to protect it since its formation.
The Manas landscape, besides Kaziranga tiger reserve, is the most promising tiger habitat in the whole of the Northeast. With adequate law enforcement, this complex will surely establish itself as a source site for tigers in the region, the report stated.
The director-general of ministry of agriculture and forests, Bhutan, Karma Dukpa, said the two parks were looking for a common approach to conservation problems.
The report called for identification of areas, frequency and mode of joint patrolling by forest staff at the field level.
It also emphasised that information on illegal activities like poaching and other wildlife crimes should be directly shared at the highest levels of the park management and should be intimated to the frontline staff for necessary action.

Rotten egg smell spreads across Southern California, AQMD now investigating the Salton SeaBy Angel Cuala on Sep 11, 2012 in Environment, United States, Weird •
A rotten egg smell spread across Southern California on Monday, September 10, 2012, and South Coast Air Quality Management District (AQMD) said that they are already doing a thorough investigation to locate its source, with the Salton Sea being one of them.
Rotten eggs
Image Credit: Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
According to AQMD on its official website that day, around 200 complaints of the rotten egg smell arrived to their office, and most callers came from the Coachella Valley and other portions of Riverside County, as well as San Bernardino and Los Angeles counties, with only few calls coming from Orange County.
As noted in the report, AQMD have already deployed field inspectors that day to Banning, La Quinta, Long Beach, Colton, San Bernardino, San Fernando Valley, Riverside, Perris, Temecula, Palm Springs, as well as to the Salton Sea, a saltwater lake that measures around 376 sq. miles and about 150 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
"Several factors indicate that the Salton Sea may have been the source of these odors. However we do not have any definitive evidence to pinpoint the Salton Sea or any other source yet." AQMD executive officer Barry Wallerstein was quoted in the report; adding that they will collect air samples and will analyze them.
Meanwhile, the air pollution control agency noted that a likely release of bacteria beneath the Salton Sea can also cause the strong sulfur odors. A strong breeze this Tuesday may add to the spreading of the rotten egg smell, but Wallerstein said that it is very not common for odors to remain strong up to 150 miles from their origin.

Outside defenders James Kiffe and Emrah Klimenta have done their share to make Republic FC one of the top defensive teams in the USL.
Sacramento has allowed seven goals in 12 matches this season, the second-fewest goals allowed in the 31-team league. Republic FC also has posted six shutouts.
But Kiffe and Klimenta also are doing their part to wake up a once-slumbering Sacramento offense.
Their crosses are more potent this season, one reason Sacramento is riding a six-game unbeaten USL streak entering Saturday night's match against the Rio Grande Valley FC Toros at Bonney Field. Kiffe and Klimenta have combined for five assists and two goals, equaling their totals for the entire 2015 season.
When Paul Buckle took over as Republic FC coach last July, he noticed Sacramento's inefficiency on its wide attacks. Buckle said one reason was the lack of touch on putting balls into the box as well as the failure of forwards to get into the box consistently.
"I said that if we are going to have James and Emrah up high, we need to score from crosses," Buckle said. "The way to do that is, one, through the delivery into the area, and, two, from the runs into the area. Otherwise, it's no good for them to be up there. We're getting that now because we've worked tirelessly on it. We're a lot more dangerous from wide areas now."
Kiffe assisted on Adam Jahn's game-winning goal in a 1-0 win over the Real Monarchs on June 8 at Bonney Field. Klimenta's cross set up Cameron Iwasa's goal in a 2-1 win Saturday in the rematch with the Real Monarchs in Reno.
Kiffe and Klimenta each had assists (on goals by Danny Barrera and Daniel Trickett-Smith) in Republic FC's 2-2 comeback draw against the Los Angeles Galaxy II on June 4. Kiffe assisted on Iwasa's 84th-minute goal in a 1-0 win over Arizona United SC on April 2, and Klimenta had the game-winning free-kick goal in Sacramento's 2-0 win at Los Angeles on May 7. Kiffe had a late unassisted game-winning goal in Republic FC's 2-1 victory over the Liverpool U-21s in a May 21 friendly at Bonney Field.
"I think Emrah and I are getting the ball a bit more; I think we're getting into the attack," Kiffe said. "We have always gotten service in, but people weren't always getting on the end of it. A lot of it is our (attackers) are getting on the end of it. They're making great runs in the box."
Since a four-match scoreless streak early in the USL season, Republic FC has scored at least one goal in its last six league matches. When U.S. Open Cup and Liverpool FC U-21 friendlies are factored in, Republic FC has scored in 10 consecutive matches. It also went from scoring two goals in its first six league matches to 10 in the last six.
Here come Toros – Republic FC (6-3-3) trails third-place Rio Grande Valley (6-3-4) by one point, 22-21, in the Western Conference entering Saturday's USL match.
The Toros, based in Edinburg, Texas, are the USL's first hybrid team. Lone Star LLC, an independent ownership group, handles the day-to-day operations. The Houston Dynamo supplies the coaches and players.
The team is coached by Wilmer Cabrera, the last coach of Chivas USA, the now-defunct MLS franchise, and a former Colombian national team defender.
The Toros are coming off a 3-0 home win over OKC Energy FC last Saturday. But the win was costly as they lost two key contributors for disciplinary reasons. Midfielder Jose Escalante, who is tied for the team lead with three goals, must serve a one-match suspension after receiving a red card against Oklahoma City. Midfielder Jorginho James also will miss the match after receiving his fifth yellow card against Energy FC.
Jahn likely – Buckle said Republic FC is expected to have the services of Jahn for a fourth consecutive game. The 6-foot-3 target forward is flying in from Florida, where the San Jose Earthquakes are preparing to play Orlando City SC on Saturday night, to play on loan for Republic FC. The Davis native had back-to-back game-winning goals against the Real Monarchs.

While looking through Google for articles to add to the database, I came across one that describes middle school student experiences with Alice. Alice was developed by Carnegie Mellon University to introduce computer science to students in a fun, interactive manner and they do so by creating a 3D animated programming interface. After learning that Alice was successful in attracting students to computer science, I played around with Alice myself. Even though I enjoyed it, it strikes me that Alice may lead to turning students away from computer science.
Studies show that Alice has been capable of increasing student interests in computer science. While this is seen as advancement in the field, I think it may have a drawback. Alice is an attractive interface and therefore is easily able to hook students on to computers. Therefore, even though Alice may be able to lead students into taking more computer science, further courses in computer science may end up disappointing students if they do not find it attractive enough. Further advanced computer science courses are not similar to Alice and may lead students to believe that they didn't have the right idea about the field in the first place. I understand that this is quite a negative approach towards Alice even though I have actually always liked the idea of having an interactive, attractive interface. Therefore, it would be interesting to actually look into how many students get attracted to computer science through Alice and then actually end up studying further computer science. It would also be interesting to think about how Alice can be used as an incentive to make advanced computer science courses more interesting. However, if studies show that Alice is definitely retaining computer science students and not disappointing them, I think that it is a great idea to be used as an introduction of computer science.

Great to be able to use some of my 'sewing stash' and surplus product from other crafting over the years. Fabulous way to start using up some of the left-over product (and not at today's prices). Even use the end of cotton reels to add texture to paint :)
Here is my take on 'Creating Dimension with Beads and Glitter'
Canvas size 6"x12"
Really played around with the dimension for the hair on this girl
Instead of a flower, I created a little bird's nest in her hair
Side view
Both sides, top and bottom carry through the theme so that when hung on the wall, gives a complete look

Preschool Games Duckie Deck (best Android apps for kids)
Free for a limited time, Preschool Games Duckie Deck is a handy dandy toddler app for your Android tablet or phone. Included are six mini-games that are designed as cause-effect type of activities, with no written or verbal instructions, just intuitive screen tapping. Players harvest fruit and vegetables, perform magic tricks, feed animals at the zoo, explore dark shadows, clean up and create crazy creatures. No ads, in-app purchases or external links make this a safe-play app for your kid.
Do you let your fussy feeder play with his/her food? Preschool Games Duckie Deck has children picking broccoli, carrots, corn, bananas, apples, berries and more. All fruits and vegetables need to be picked and munched (three bites is all it takes to eat a single item), with the mini-game continuously looping. If only getting picky eaters to eat good food was this easy! Next, your child will perform magic tricks with a simple wave of the wand. Out of the hat pops a musician, a frog, a bunch of keys and more. How many waves will it take to produce a rabbit? The trick I would love to see is to turn on the fireflies, or to make them go away!
Feeding the animals at the zoo is something children all love to do. Unfortunately, it is not always possible in real life, so they can pretend with this app. Each animal (including a human!) is given a choice of three foods and your child needs to tap the correct one. I find it hard to believe the cat will not eat the meat (and what is it doing at the zoo anyway?). Next, your child will be under suspense with the scary silhouettes and spooky music. A flick of the switch and the monsters discovered are not so scary after all.
Cleaning up is a phase that all toddlers go through. If you are in that phase right now, enjoy it! I am sorry to say that the novelty of sweeping the floor does wear off by the time your child starts school. In the meantime, s/he can enjoy virtually cleaning the floor with a simple swiping motion. Oh for that to be a reality! Finally, your child can mix-and-match heads, torsos and legs to their heart's content with 1,000 possible creatures to create! I think the idea is to match correctly (the creature will give verbal feedback as to whether they have the right body and legs) but it is too much fun giving the fox a panda body and octopus legs, for example. What would you call a creature like that? Panda foxtapus?
Duckie Deck has a range of games online for young children, this being their first app to come to the Android platform. Keep a watch out for further instalments of Duckie Deck in 2014!
"Beautiful Learning Games for your Toddler - Totally ad & in-app free! The Preschool Games Duckie Deck Android app is a collection of six friendly and safe games targeted for kids aged 2-5 years.

Our educational games for kids teach important life values, solve the most common childhood problems, and support the development of kids' creativity.
These six brand new games will, for example, help children get used to the darkness, learn how to take care of pets, and introduce picky eaters to different fruits and vegetables. Awesome graphics, colorful characters, and funny sounds make this a child friendly user interface. Our design ensures kids learn through use of this app and are able to play the baby games independently. Our goal is for children to have fun while learning. Most importantly, this application is designed to be completely safe and protect kids. It has no any additional payments or advertising.
"Got this for my nephew and he absolutely loves it! The animations / graphics are so cute and the games are fun (even I enjoy playing). Recommend!"
"This is a really well-done collection of activities that my 2 years old loves! We also appreciate the great music, artwork and animations."

It seems so simple!
by admin • August 28, 2010 • Hope, Love - Pure and Simple, Yearning for You • 0 Comments
We talk with ease for hours into the night when we're together. When we're not, all day we text or chat on the computer. You told me your feelings the other night and it gives me hope, the same hope that I am ashamed to feel. The hope that you will finally end things with your girlfriend.
You told me you know that's the right thing to do, that that should happen, that you are not happy in that relationship. It seems so simple! But you say it's complicated. You want to wait until it is a mutual breakup but I'm not sure I understand. All I understand is there is something fantastic between us and the tension of wanting to just lean together and kiss was nearly unbearable. If you hadn't had to go home that night I'm sure we would have talked until the sun rose again, just like the first time I told you how I felt. So here we are. I'm your secret. But just knowing that you want to be with me, even with my 500lb gorilla of religious differences, lit a fire in my heart that I cannot even try to tame anymore. You don't know how special you are. You are a truly wonderful person. You fill my soul with music!
I hope more than anything someday I can make brownies for you and we can watch a cheesy old comedy and not worry about anything else in the world.
Thank you for coming into my life.

text: I was wondering if anyone else with a Supercard Lite has had any problems with the wifi connection for the new Pokemon DS either Pearl or Diamond. I have been able to get online with other games (Tetris and Mario Kart) but with Pokemon when I go to the Battle Room or the GTS area I don't get a connection (the signal indicator comes up but it's red with no bars of signal strength). I know my connection is still working because right after I wasn't able to get online with Pokemon, I tried Mario Kart just to make sure nothing was wrong with my wireless and it worked.

Ten top tips for better photographs
The internet is very fond of lists, so I see no reason why I shouldn't have one!
But seriously, the following are the kinds of things I wish someone had taught me as a novice photographer. None of them are particularly difficult. Yet, they should make one thing clear: that whilst great photographs can be a result of pure luck, more often than not, planning and thinking makes "lucky" shots a lot more likely.
So, in no particular order:
Photography is about LIGHT. I will elaborate on this in another post, but suffice to say: extraordinary light creates extraordinary photographs. Think about light: is it harsh or soft? Cold or warm? The best light conditions for nature and landscape photography are, in my opinion, at both ends of the day, i.e. sunrise and sunset and an hour or so before and after these.
Viewpoint is very important. For instance, think about crouching or even lying down, or getting higher up. As humans, we're used to seeing things from our own eye level. If you take photographs from eye level, they can often look ordinary and therefore they run the risk of being rather boring. Don't stand where everyone else does: think outside the obvious.
Get CLOSER. When I see photographs taken by self confessed amateurs, the most common fault I see is that there's a lot of space around the subject. Sometimes this is the result of not having a long enough lens, but most of the time, it is simply that the photographer did not get close enough. Walking usually works!
Learn about lenses (if you use different lenses) or different focal lengths. It's not particularly hard and it will boost your creative powers massively. Most people understand that a wide angle lens lets you "get more in" and that telephoto (long) lenses "let you get closer", but there's a lot more to it than that. I will elaborate on this subject very soon.
Learn how to use (or not use!) your camera's functions. Do you know what all of those buttons do? Have a look at the manual or search online.
Consider taking the camera off "AUTO" setting. This will give you far greater control and will, coincidentally, greatly increase your understanding of how to achieve certain goals.
Don't fixate about gear. Remember that whilst ultra expensive lenses do tend to be sharper, they're useless unless you've mastered your techniques and understand how to squeeze the best image quality from both lens and camera. Also remember that modern photography magazines are almost always blatantly commercial: they rely on advertisers and hence want to sell their products for them. Journalistic integrity often falls by the wayside, since without product sales, the advertisers will not renew their advertisements. More on this soon.
Become "lucky". Whilst just "going for a walk" and taking the camera is absolutely fine, you will get better results if you think a little more about where you are going, what time of day it is, what time of year it is, and what's happening. For instance, if you go to a seabird colony in November, you won't get anything like the opportunities you'd get in the bird's breeding season. Similarly, think about the sun's position, how crowded a place is with people, or what flowers or trees are like at that time of year. Suddenly, you'll become a lot "luckier".
So many otherwise good shots are ruined by soft (out of focus or blurred) images. The main cause, particularly with longer lenses, is camera shake. And here I am, advising you to work at both ends of the day! There's two ways around this: either push the ISO up (See my post about your camera's ISO setting) and risk noise or carry a tripod. Also consider investing in a remote release. Simple ones are low cost. A tripod is cumbersome and really can feel like a millstone around your neck, but it's a sure way to getting sharp images in low light, particularly when using longer lenses.
Study your own work. Be reasonably critical. Were you close enough? What is the light like? How about composition? Is the image sharp? Are there any distractions? How could you make the image better?
And at this point, I'd like to point out a serious pitfall many photographers have when evaluating their own work. And this is saying things like "It's only a cheap camera" or "It's only a phone camera" or "my lens isn't up to much" or "I didn't really have time".
These are more statements about image quality rather than a true assessment of one's own compositional skills or eye for a good photo. Image quality is things like sharpness, distortion, colour transmission and defects like Chromatic Aberration. Assuming you've done everything right, there's not a tremendous amount you can do about these, so don't fret too much unless you like spending lots of money.
Think more about the artistic side of photography. Also, perhaps try to to imitate the work of a photographer whose work you like: chances are, you'll never be the same, but in trying, you'll discover your own style. Look at other people's photographs. How did they do it? When was it taken? And so on.
But here's the one tip someone DID give to me and I've followed it ever since. And it works.

World Class Smiles!
We promise to provide you with exceptional care as we enhance the natural beauty of your smile.
Whether your dental needs are a complete exam and cleaning or a full-mouth restoration, we can help!
The first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile is to schedule an appointment. Contact us today.
A denture is a removable dental appliance replacement for missing teeth
and surrounding tissue. They are made to closely resemble your natural
teeth and may even enhance your smile.
There are two types of dentures -
complete and
partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the teeth are missing,
while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. A Partial
denture not only fills in the spaces created by missing teeth, it prevents
other teeth from shifting.
A Complete denture may be either "
conventional" or "
immediate." A conventional type is made after the teeth have been removed
and the gum tissue has healed, usually taking 4 to 6 weeks. During this
time the patient will go without teeth. Immediate dentures are made in
advance and immediately placed after the teeth are removed, thus preventing
the patient from having to be without teeth during the healing process.
Once the tissues shrink and heal, adjustments will have to be made.
Dentures are very durable appliances and will last many years, but may
have to be remade, repaired, or readjusted due to normal wear.
Reasons for dentures:
What does getting dentures involve?
The process of getting dentures requires several appointments, usually
over several weeks. Highly accurate impressions (molds) and measurements
are taken and used to create your custom denture. Several "try-in"
appointments may be necessary to ensure proper shape, color, and fit.
At the final appointment, your dentist will precisely adjust and place
the completed denture, ensuring a natural and comfortable fit.
It is normal to experience increased saliva flow, some soreness, and possible
speech and chewing difficulty, however this will subside as your muscles
and tissues get used to the new dentures.
You will be given care instructions for your new dentures. Proper cleaning
of your new dental appliance, good oral hygiene, and regular dental visits
will aid in the life of your new dentures.

Everyone here at Hatchery loves burgers, but found ourselves at a loss as to where to get a good, high quality one in Beijing. After some brainstorming, we decided to try out a burger restaurant inspired by the flavours and ingredients of our homelands in the Commonwealth.
Track 2
Having drawn up a business plan and settled on a menu of burgers and boozy milkshakes, we arranged tastings with both foreign and expat focus groups. With great feedback, we set about creating a more detailed business plan before moving on to Track 3.
Track 3
In February 2017 we launched Common Burger at our Dongsi location for 3 months. Over the duration of the residency we refined the menu based on customer feedback, reduced costs and boosted revenues. Having proven itself a great success, we decided to open Common Burger as an independent business.
Menu Items
Tried & tested, each menu item is crafted with care...
Launch Party!
We celebrated the opening of Common Burger with friends, food and a live DJ
Track 4
Launching an independent business
Beijing No. 2
Our newest location
We will be launching Common Burger at a new location in the Beijing CBD this winter.
Customer and Media feedback
Based on Track 3 reports
88% of customers rated all aspects of Common Burger excellent, and both TimeOut Beijing and City Weekend awarded us 4 stars in their reviews.
Menu Development
Continuously striving to improve
We continuously respond to customer feedback in order to refine our menus. Common Burger as a Track 4 business will have tried and tested menu, improved from the previous tracks.

Oh NaNo, how close you are!
First let me say, I am behind on my original plan…
…which was to talk about my plan for NaNo
…talk about some ideas I have for my story
…talk about how awesome my notebook is
…but of course it's been a busy last few days.
So, an update post it is!
Plan for NaNoWriMo
The basics of this (because I want to get more detailed in a bigger post) is I want to share my NaNoWriMo experience with my fans, family, friends and other NaNoNites. So how will I do this? ….wait for the bigger post…
Ideas for My Story
Well, to start, the title of my novel I will be writing is:
"I Brought Home A Ghost"
This will actually be fulfilling an idea of mine for one of the stories that I want to write–"A story of a young boy who befriends a ghost…"–that was a part of my looking for more time to write and to be creative post. The story has definitely shifted, though, in terms of the phrase above.
Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from my NaNo novel:
- Three timelines, ranging from the years 1835 to 2012.
- A ghost story woven through the different timelines of characters with separate journeys for each timeline.
- Not one story at a time…completely braided together. Literally. Three timelines, one over the other.
- Multiple European countries. Multiple ethnicities.
This is as much as I want to give…I don't want to name the who or where or why (of course, that's the good stuff). Will I give more before we get there? …maybe…
As per the rules of NaNoWriMo, no writing can be done until midnight on November 1st, so I won't be able to add an excerpt yet. BUT if all goes well, and I write my "bigger post" of how I want to share my experience, then you won't be missing out on anything.
How Awesome My Notebook Is
Pretty awesome, actually. I have continued to write within its pages about NaNoWriMo. My timeline, years of age, and other important factors have been created (as you can see a slight peek of on the last page in the picture below).
This amazing notebook of mine has traveled with me everywhere for a while now. It sits next to me at work and reminds me of the creativity sitting within its pages…
To simply shift my gaze and see the different opportunities its blank pages offer the many corners of my mind.
Its drawn pages that lead to its written and blanked…
The many more places to add and subtract and create and enjoy…
A notebook made for the mind of creative or even the mind of random…
….yea, sorry, got all creative as I thought about how awesome this book is.
So back to my updates…
New Widgets
As you may have seen on the right-side of my website, I have my official NaNoWriMo Participant badge available for all to see, followed by my will-be Word Count. This will show my progress every day as I add my words into the NaNo bucket for my novel. If you want to see my NaNoWriMo profile, you can click on either picture, and it will take you there.
New Writing Software
Scrivener. That's all I will say. Bigger post for that one to come soon, too.
And the countdown continues…
Enjoy. And Reed.

The online casinos have gained tremendous popularity in recent times, which does not mean they are better or worse than conventional casinos. In reality, both virtual and real casinos each have their own advantages and disadvantages. In this article we will focus on the advantages and disadvantages of online casinos.
The advantages of online casinos
The following are some of the advantages that online casinos have, compared to the conventional ones. Welcome Bonuses and other bonuses. The online casinos, to integrate a very competitive business, provide benefits to its users to make their choice. The bonuses are a clear example. It is a deposit of money that is given to new users, with which they can begin to place their bets.
Comfort is a great advantage. If you do not live in a large city, you may have to travel to a casino . In the case of virtual casinos, you can play at any time, from the comfort of your home. Play without discomfort. In real casinos, there are many external annoyances to play. An example of this is cigarette smoke or annoying noises. At home all these problems are evaded. You should not spend on tip. In real casinos, you will often feel obligated to tip. At home this does not happen. The disadvantages of online casinos
Another advantage is the variety of games like bandarq and betting options you have. Not only can we have the roulette open to play, because in addition, we can play a few minutes of slots, while we make our transactions in the other window. For reasons as simple as these, more and more users who have decided to try their luck with online casinos , convenience, security and variety of games are very important when choosing a bookmaker and online casino. If you are still one of those people who continues to spend their time in physical, full casinos, looking for parking and paying access to have a moment of fun, we recommend you take a tour of the many options that the internet has to play online with money real and make a profit.
The following are some of the disadvantages of playing online casino games:
Waiting time to collect
In online casinos one should be patient when collecting their winnings, as this process can take between three and four weeks.In case of controversy, virtual casino have the last word, without giving the player the possibility of intervening in it.
Poor customer service
This is a disadvantage that occurs only in some online casinos, but it is really uncomfortable when it happens, because some sites take several days to respond mails and do not offer any phone numbers to their users.
Clearly, one of the big plus points for online gambling is that you do not have to pay for any kind of access, you just have to have an account with real money and you can start playing. Another great advantage is the complete mobility to play anytime and anywhere

Why Increase Followers on Instagram?
There may be so many motivations, some just like to be popular on this social network , others use it to do marketing, others to make money. What not everyone knows though is that in fact Instagram Private reserves a special treatment for the most popular people.
But just waste time and pass on to the hard.

Increase Instagram Followers: 10 Effective Methods
In this list you will find all the most efficient methods to increase your Instagram followers , starting from the most desirable and trivial ones to the lesser known but extremely effective ones. If your intentions are to become really popular on this social, I recommend you not to neglect even a point.
1. Post original photos and use filters that attract attention
This technique may seem like a discount but it is crucial to be successful on Instagram , remember that the goal is not only to get some followers but also to keep them interacting with us even afterwards, otherwise our whole job will have been useless and many people will soon stop following us.
2. Connect Instagram to Facebook
Okay, this is the first thing we're going to do once we're registered. About 30% of Facebook users have an Instagram account and many of your friends will not even be able to follow you here.
3. Like, comments and follow
Here we begin to reason. By putting as many as you like or better still commenting on the photos that interest us, most likely some of these people will come back with a follow up or I like it. It would seem absurd, but trusted it is so. Even better if you decide directly to follow that person.
4. Write in English
It's not a nonsense, even this is a technique to increase Instagram followers . If your intentions are to become really popular you will have to turn to an international audience. engagement will increase instagram followers dramatically.
This is one of the most functional strategies among those "honest". Include several very popular and relevant hashtags to your photo, will increase your liking the dizzying way. To find out which ones are the most popular hashtags, I suggest you go to Top Hashtag , or use the Tags For Like app .
6. Post at the right times
Not everyone knows it but posting at certain times increases engagement and not least. Choose the right hours, which usually are after 5 pm (especially Monday) and Sunday. Plus it is statistically demonstrated that posting a photo every 3 hours greatly increases the organic reach of the post .
7. Follow the hashtag #firstpost
Type the " firstpost " hashtag in the search bar and follow as many people as you can. It is statistically proven that newly enrolled people are more inclined to replicate the follow . Additionally, if you also use this hashtag , you will receive many follow from people using the same technique.
8. Use the Follower Free app
So far we have joked, now you start to do seriously. There are numerous apps on smartphones that allow you to increase your popularity on this social network , but the most famous are Follower Free and 1000 Follower .
These extremely easy-to-use apps allow you to accumulate credits by following people or putting their photos in the picture, and once you have accumulated enough credits, we can buy like you or your follower. A turning point.
This is currently the best technique to increase Instagram followers .
9. Use an App Like CrowdFire
"Okay, but if I start to follow randomly, I'll find the strained profile of people I'm not interested in! "
This is where an App like CrowdFire comes to our rescue, which allows us to stop following those people who did not recompense the follow up in order to clean up our profile.
Use a bot like Boostgram
Finally I'll leave you with a bomb: Boostgram . This program is actually a bot that allows us to automate almost all the points seen up to now, that is to follow and stop following, like, comments etc .. will do everything in our place automatically, the only valid alternative to the clock deceased Instagress .
Unfortunately, this program is for a fee but we are still providing 72 hours of trial. In just three days you'll soon notice the power of Boostgram .
Anyway you decide to buy it prices are relatively low, it is about 3/4 euros per month.
Extra advice:
Alternatively, a really effective and fast method to increase its popularity on a social network such as Instagram (and not only) is to opt for services such as BCUBE Agency, which, at really competitive prices, offers the option of buying a variable number of "real interaction" depending on your demanding, or start a monthly subscription where they will be themselves involved in sponsoring your profile.
To further enhance the quality and success of your profile, I recommend that you never publish more than 10 photos a day and always add a description under each photo.
Earning with Instagram
If you use Instagram for marketing purposes and want to be primarily surrounded by people similar to you and your business, you will need to vary the strategy slightly by trying to use only hashtags that represent and filter most of the searches on well-defined hashtags.
There are basically 2 methods to earn through this social:
- Advertise your brand and build contacts through the link in description
- Sell your own popularity to companies or individuals.
Do not worry, we will deepen this topic in another post.
