text: While hunting through sites trying to find Roms, I started to think if the great homebrewers could make it more convient? We have the Homebrew Browser where you can basically download all the homebrew apps you need (besides Waninkoko), so why don't we have something for ROMs as well, being able to download roms from all the consoles that u can run emulators on the HBC and place them in the right folders (N64 roms go into N64ROMS folder for Wii64 for example). hell make it look like the Wii Shop Channel would be awesome. Im just posting this as a suggestion, maybe i'll submit to the HBB guys if it sounds like a good idea to you guys?

Healthy fast food to expand its horizons
Which lunch time fast food favourite has plans to move into casual dining?
This home-grown Aussie brand that's a quick, healthy eating option with a touch of the theatrical is expanding its horizons.
Le Wrap (which grills meals in front of customers) wants to scale up and has plans to open one unit a month over the next 12 months - and sees a future in the increasingly popular casual dining concept that mixes the swift service of takeaway with a more relaxed eating environment.
While the brand is Sydney based it is looking to take its fast fresh model nationally and could reach 80 to 100 stores across the country.
However, expansion will be measured as the brand remains selective about appointing franchisees and finding the right sites, says Bob Ozdemir, franchise development manager.
"We look for franchisees who have a skill base that contributes to the franchise," he explains.

London, England (SportsNetwork.com) - Chelsea announced on Monday that the Premier League leaders have completed the signing of winger Juan Cuadrado from Serie A side Fiorentina.
Cuadrado, 26, will head to Stamford Bridge on a new four-and-a-half year contract after spending the past 5 1/2 seasons in Italy with Udinese before moving to Fiorentina in 2012.
"I am very happy and thankful for this opportunity I've been given," Cuadrado said. "This is a great club and honestly it is like a dream to join the Chelsea family and to know that the manager believes in me. I'm happy."
Cuadrado has also won 37 caps for his native Colombia and was a key contributor for his country during the 2014 World Cup.
He scored in a group-stage victory against Japan before ending the tournament at the quarterfinal stage with four assists.

The Brief
Our client 'Clear Debt Solution' asked us to help reduce the cost of their Facebook ads. They were paying £35 per lead and gave us a target to reduce this cost to £25 per lead and guess what? We smashed it!!
What we did:
We conducted a thorough analysis of the market prior to producing any ads. This includes pulling together a 'customer profile', what are their key characteristics, where do they live, what are their hobbies, what Facebook pages do they like…..
Once we we're happy with the data we'd pulled together we launched our ads to our target audience. After 3 days of testing time, we made a few amends to optimise results.
After one week of optimising the ads we reduced the cost to £4.80 per lead (average cost over 3 ads). It's safe to say they are more than impressed. Here's the evidence:

Julia Lipnitskaya finished her career
More sad (but not unexpected) news came from team Russa. Julia Lipnitskaya finished her career.
Julia's mother informed the media:
Julia told the the leadership of the skating federation about her plans to retire back in April, right after her return from Europe, where she had a three-month treatment for anorexia. We are grateful to the company "TeleSport" for helping Julia at this difficult moment. I note that now she has only Olympic scholarship. She does not receive a salary from the skating federation, although she is listed in the national team.

Life in Cobán
Posted: May 21, 2014
Cobán is a busy city. When you drive down the dusty roads, you notice people selling items from small shops, corner stands, and the back of trucks or bikes! Brightly colored clothes are hung on lines stretching across doorways. Shoes and boots of every style are neatly lined up on display on the narrow sidewalks. Every size and shape of melons, bright red tomatoes, bananas, plantains and peppers are sold out of baskets lining the streets. Wrangler jeans, American t-shirts with "Hello Kitty," and soccer jerseys are sold throughout the city! You can find hot tamales and tortillas prepared by vendors on the streets! Exotic pig rinds fill up small glass boxes!
I was amazed by the variety of small enterprises. Even driving through the mountainous areas, there are roadside stands with soft drinks for thirsty travelers! There are lots of bakers! Delicious thick buns dripping with icing are freshly baked throughout the city!
What struck me was the contrast between women dressed in a western jeans and t-shirts in Cobán and women wearing traditional, hand woven floor length skirts which are called Corte. This term refers to way the fabric is cut. Women wear traditional blouses over their skirts which looks like intricately embellished, light weight ponchos. These are called a Huipil.
Mothers can be seen balancing large, striped water jugs on their head, hauling large bundles of sticks on their backs or carrying a baby slung over their shoulders wrapped in beautiful fabric. These women had the snugglies figured out hundreds of years before shoppers in the US and Europe! And, there is no, monochromatic color scheme of black or grey! There is color everywhere! It matches the lush foliage that you see throughout the countryside!
Jaclyn and I had the good fortune to meet one of the premier weavers in Cobán! As luck would have it, she happens to be Fr. Pedro's sister. We stopped by her home in Cobán for a visit. She offered us some freshly made coco. It is unlike any coco I had ever tasted! It is reddish in color and has a thick consistency. I was curious how she made it, so I asked her if she could tell us. She was delighted to show us. Taking fresh coco beans, she ground them up on a stone mortar and then made the delicious brew.
She was wearing the traditional attire, but changed into a more formal outfit, because we were company. She showed us her loom with a project that she was working on. It was beautiful. Photographs of Fr. Pedro with Pope John Paul II were proudly displayed on her wall. The Pope visited Guatemala on one of his Central American tours!
Next we visited Fr. Pedro's other sister and her husband. Jaclyn and Fr. Pedro spoke Spanish and Q'eqchi. I tried to follow the threads of conversation. I never studied Spanish, so I was quickly trying to immerse myself before my trip. I had many opportunities to practice new words and phrases. Again, I noticed a picture of Fr. Pedro and Pope John Paul II hanging prominently on the wall! They also had a shrine to the Virgin Mary covered with flowers in their home. Clearly, Fr. Pedro is one of their favorite relatives. His family was very gracious and extended a warm welcome and hospitality to us!

Nepean fat loss tips are readily available for the people who live in the area. Losing weight frustrates many people throughout their lives. Today, it is even more difficult to know what to eat and what not to eat with the media telling you conflicting information. One article will tell you not to eat certain foods, while another article tells you to eat those foods. What is a person to do when the information is constantly contradicted?
Forget Diets
One thing is for sure forget diets when it comes to weight loss efforts. For the most part, these have a poor track record for helping people lose weight effective, especially when it comes to keeping it off. Most diets are useful for only short-term weight and do not teach people how to maintain their weight afterwards.
Keep a Food Diary
A food diary is an excellent way to analyze the foods and calories you are now consuming. This is the starting point for making the necessary changes to lose your excess weight according to fat loss in Nepean tips. Simply write down all your meals and snacks, for at least a week, without making any changes. Then you can figure out how many calories you have been consuming on a daily basis.
Analyze Your Food Diary
You need to analyze not only how many calories you are consuming in a day, but the types of food you are eating.
Figure out the answers to these questions and you will discover your path to fat loss in Nepean or any other city you might live.
Next Analyze Your Physical Activity
Next, you need to analyze how active you are physically. Have you been ignoring that gym membership lately? Are you just lounging around the house and not exercising at all? You need to get back to the gym if this is the case. Physical activity such as you do in your workouts is crucial to successful weight loss. Cardio increases your metabolic rate, circulation and strengthens you heart. Strength training builds strong bones and muscle mass, which burns calories more efficiently than fat.
Lifestyle Changes
Now that you have analyzed your eating and physical activity habits, you can start making the necessary changes to shed excess fat. Eliminate high-fat foods, sugar and refined carbohydrates from your daily food intake. Salt should also be limited as it can make the body retain fluids and some people's system is quite reactive to the sodium in which can cause high blood pressure. Drink more water and fewer sweet drinks. Increase your activity level to at least 30 minutes to an hour a day at the local fitness center.
Follow these Nepean fat loss tips and you will see how quickly your weight loss will begin. When you stay on track with these lifestyle changes, you also will maintain any weight loss that you have attained.
I've Lost 27lbs and am still going strong!
I feel phenomenal and wish I would have done this sooner!
Thank you Ruslan for mentoring and supporting me along the way!
My life has completely changed for the better.
I feel amazing and I'm fully engaged in life!
Having lost over 50lbs has given me a new perspective on life and what I am capable off achieving!
Thank you coach for all your support and help!
Prior to staring with Ruslan at FLS I was almost 200lbs. I didn't have anything to wear and I always felt awkward at that weight. Going out with my friends, I was always the biggest one out of the bunch. I've tried every diet out there with no avail. Working with Ruslan has resulted in me losing over 50lbs!
I feel fantastic!Read More...
I had lost over a 50lbs, I went down from a size 18 to 8, gained sky high levels of energy which I don't know what to do with now. Most of all I feel like I got my life back.
Thank you,
Working with Ruslan changed my perspective on diet and exercise and everything in between. The change that I experienced the most is that of the mindset. I no longer view eating healthy and being active as daily chores that I must perform to trim a few pounds. Not only did these changes allow me to lose 25lbs, but they also equip me with strength and energy on a daily basis.Read More...
In working with Ruslan Kedik I not only achieved, but exceeded my personal health and fitness goals. Ruslan helped me train, compete and win my first ever figure competition. I thoroughly enjoyed every step of the journey. Thanks so much, Ruslan! Most definitely, you are the best!

What People Are Saying About This Incredible Book On...
Most career books are written by writers nearing retirement, whose advice (while 100% accurate) doesn't really tell you how to accelerate your career, while you are still young and ambitious to get ahead! Yes, talent and skills are fundamentals, but this book tells you how to leverage those skills to get ahead faster, (using ethical means ) as quickly as you desire!Amazing book, highly recommend to professionals of all ages!
Review From Anupama - USA
Bozi's Career Acceleration Formula is revolutionary. I've learned so much from him that I can apply in my career. I've already started to implement some of the strategies and noticing results already. I'm excited to report more of results as I continue to climb! I am grateful that this time I finally stumbled upon a book that contains real and precise information which I can start applying next day without wasting my time. Thanks Bozi!

There was much cupcake making at the weekend.
We made grown-up cupcakes:
I learnt the other day that to make rose-like icing you just start at the middle of the cake and ice outwards in concentric circles with a star-shaped nozzle. To think all these years I've been starting at the outside and working inwards. And the result is so pretty!
The icing was meant to be two-toned, using the tip that Mary Berry* showed in one of the Bake Off master-class episodes, where she spooned the pink icing into one side of the icing bag, and white in the other. As with everything that Mary Berry does, it looked graceful and effortless. When I tried, I was somewhat less graceful. The pink icing hadn't got the memo and refused to stay on one side. There's still a hint of variation in the colour, but I might go back to just swirling the food colouring through the whole bowl of icing.
And we made little person mini cupcakes:
The piglets were based on pictures on Pinterest, and are wonderfully easy to make. The ears and snout are halved mini marshmallows, and the features are chocolate icing, piped with an icing bag with the tiniest bit snipped off the end. As it would be a shame to make just a thimble's worth of chocolate icing, we made a decent amount and used the rest to ice the "muddy puddle" cupcakes. (Yes, there is a Peppa Pig inspiration here.)
*Speaking of Mary Berry, tonight's supper was the pork mimosa from her "Stress-free Kitchen" cookbook. Delicious and very straightforward to make.

Acclaimed filmmaker Samira Makhmalbaf once said, ``Iranian women are like freshwater springs: The more pressure applied, the more force they show once they are freed.''
The current One Book for Greater Hartford expounds on that theme, choosing Azar Nafisi's ``Reading Lolita in Tehran,'' a memoir of female empowerment through literature. And beginning today, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art is bolstering the book program with its fall film lineup ``Under the Veil,'' focusing on women in the Muslim nation.

Matthew Autterson has been working with the financial services sector for the past 25 years. Throughout his career, he already experienced being in the executive department of the company that he is working for. He is currently working with the Resources Trust Company, a financial institution that is state chartered, and it is the largest of its kind in the state of Colorado. Graduating from the Michigan State University, he received his Bachelor of Arts in Finance degree in the year 1980. He would further his study and enroll himself at the University of Denver Graduate Tax Program. Matthew Autterson's decision to study further is essential for his plans of succeeding in the financial services sector.
Right after graduating from the university, Matthew Autterson started to create his career portfolio. He first worked with First Trust Corporation, a financial institution which is also a subsidiary of Fiserv, one of the largest financial firms in the United States. He decided to leave his first company in 1982 to join a smaller financial startup called the Resources Trust Company, which has been chartered by the state of Colorado. The smaller financial startup is a trust company which is actually a subsidiary of a New York Based company called the Integrated Resources Corporation. Matthew Autterson was promoted in 1986, to serve as the company's president. The Resources Trust Company was purchased by Broad Incorporated three years later, and after the acquisition, they became known as SunAmerica Incorporated. The newly formed company would later be acquired by AIG, which is a fairly larger corporation, in the year 1998 for a staggering amount of $18 billion.
In 2001, Matthew Autterson never imagined that he will be working with Fiserv once again. The company that he worked for back in the 1980s purchased AIG, and the Resources Trust Company became one of the largest state chartered trust companies. They serve 200,000 people presently, and the amount of assets that Matthew Autterson manages is over $20 billion. The company also hired additional employees, putting the total number of labor force to 700. Aside from working with the Resources Trust Company, Matthew Autterson is also an active board member at Falci Adaptive Biosystems, a non-profit organization which assists people who are suffering from neurological and motor disabilities. Visit This Web Page for more.
Matthew Autterson is also known for his philanthropy. He has been working with the Denver Zoo to restore its beauty for the locals to enjoy, and he is also donating some of his money to charities and foundations.

Once again the Lampstand Magazine has produced an unfortunate article which doesn't fairly reflect the facts on the ground in an article called "Death the Last Enemy (Part 2)" in Volume 23. The article notably fails (as did the last one) to deal with any of the arguments/rationale advanced by those who accept EC. Continue reading
The bible dictates how we should understand things – including human summaries of the gospel. The Lampstand wishes to insist Adam was the first man in their July 2017 insert. We have already dealt with the scriptural differences between Gen 1 and 2 (which deals therefore with Gen 1:27). The second proof text they advance is the view of Adam that Eve was the mother of all living Gen 3:23, as if Adam was someone informed on the state of the world outside the cloistered garden.
Interestingly as old earth creationists, they strictly believe 'Adam is the first man in the current creation' (which is not in the bible of course). This is just bad biblical exposition. In the context of 1 Cor 15:45 Adam is the first man and Jesus the last Adam, Adam the first man and Jesus the second (1Cor 15:47). It's poor exposition to demand Adam was literally first and Christ spiritually second & last. Nothing more nothing less.
This is a key issue. There are two Greek words which are closely related but are not the same. Death and mortality are two different words in Greek as they are in English and they have slightly different meanings. Our community puts great store on the importance of accuracy in exposition and individual words in Scripture. Confusing them or readily ignoring the distinction between words is not and should not be our approach. Firstly to death: Continue reading
Bro Wilfred Lambert was one of the foremost Assyriologists of his generation. He wrote quite explicitly about the connection between ancient near eastern ideas (about which he was an expert) and the impossibility of reconciling Gen 1-3 with science. Some of his specific observations in the following article are:
Bro Wilfred was not disfellowshipped for such ideas (for the record – I take elements of Gen 2-3 more literally than he did) Continue reading
Ans. He was dust "formed into a living soul," and came "out of the ground" (Gen. 2:7; 3:19).
Ans. "A natural body"—σωμα ψυχικον, soma psuchikon (1Cor. 15:44–45). Continue reading

Latex bed cushion are establishing themselves as the main pillows when it refers to comfort, premium quality of remainder along with advantages. If you have to recognize concerning them in addition to why latex is the new relaxing organisation wonder, maintained analysis.
Latex is an item that might be found in nature in kind of rubber. It stems from a tree, the Hevea tree. Latex rubber is vulcanized to gain it immune. A browse sleepjunkie latex bed cushion can withstand for an actually prolonged time, a premium one might last approximately Three Decade. If latex bed cushion are a little bit additional expensive contrasted to different other kind of bed cushion, on the extensive term you're investing your financing. As many natural item, latex is lasting and recycling it is incredibly straightforward. If you're concerned worrying the setup and environment-friendly, this is a need to alternative for you. Another advantage that stems from the reality of being natural is that latex is hypoallergenic, that is it sets off a lot less allergic reactions; this is important for people experiencing bronchial asthma, the top quality of their remainder will definitely increase significantly. Latex is a taking location item, that is no mold and mildew and also mold will definitely affect your bed cushion.
All latex bed cushion have openings that have a three-way attribute:
Make the bed cushion a whole lot much more comfortable, the bigger the openings, the softer the bed cushion.
Enable the pillow "breathe" and be happening, protecting against mold and mildew and also mold along with dampness.
Enable air blood flow, making the padding hotter in winter and chillier in summer season.
Latex Mattresses do not need to be transformed, several thanks to the Third attribute there is no "summertime side" and "wintertime side" along with do not need to be transformed given that likewise if a much bigger private hinges on one side the pillow will certainly not bend. If you want making in fact particular you can do it every when in a while. Be cautious because of that a latex bed cushion is absolutely large as well as you'll need help to transform it.
One of the most reliable you can provide for your latex bed cushion to make it far more comfortable is acquisition a latex padding. Latex pillows resemble the bed cushion: immune, environment-friendly, happening and hypoallergenic. This last advantage is important, remember your breathing system techniques stay in strenuous contat with the padding, so if you manage breathing system problems a latex pillow can be terrific for you yet a latex padding in addition to a latex pillow can do ask on your own. Latex paddings are readily available in great deals of types, measurements in addition to harmony, so to adapt to your relaxing regimens.
It shows up latex is merely advantages and in great deals of elements this is true. If I had to situate an adverse element I would absolutely assert the expense. Latex pillow are not inexpensive. One of the most efficient ones as a matter of fact can be instead pricey, yet you will absolutely accept me in any case, for all the variables cleared up above, that is fantastic spent cash money.

Quick Reference
The conversion, by heating and partial combustion, of coal into gases such as methane and carbon monoxide. It is an efficient fuel that produces less air pollution than burning unmodified coal. Coal gasification was a major energy source in the 19th and early 20th centuries but production declined after the availability of natural gas increased in the 1970s. Coal tar was a byproduct.

KYLE LIGHTBOURNE, with Macclesfield's only shot on target after 75 minutes, looked as if it would win this survival six pointer.
Fastening onto a pass from Danny Whitaker he went past his marker to send a shot flying past the keeper's right hand.
But Rovers drew level within five minutes through Chris Llewellyn, a player borrowed from Norwich City yesterday for a month.
It was something of a freak goal for Llewellyn, standing with his back to goal, volleyed left footed as a ball came in from the right.
Earlier Rovers fullback Ijah Anderson had hit the bar from 30 yards.
Whitaker was behind what few raids Macclesfield raised but Steve Wilson in goal still had a quiet time. The Silkmen relied heavily on the defensive battling of Dave Ridler and Darren Tinson to keep them out of trouble.
Bristol Rovers 1 Macclesfield 1
KARL Lightbourne thought he had secured victory in a survival six pointed with Macc's only shot on target in 75 minutes, only to be denied just minutes later.

One of the primary tenets of Toyota and Lean is the pursuit of perfection. That is even the motto for the Lexus brand.
But what does that mean to you, in your practice, with your staff and your clients? What would your practice, in all of its aspects, look like if it was ideal or perfect?
Forget that perfection is never reached, This is why Lean is a journey, not a destination.
What would pet care look like if it were perfect? What would client satisfaction look like? What would your staff look like if they were able to do work in an ideal way? Challenged? Problem solvers? Engaged? Continually learning and improving? What would the physical property look like? In a perfect scenario, would you be helping to improve your profession, your community, or your tiny piece of this world? Write all of this down. This your "true north" statement.
Note that a "true north" statement is not the same as a " mission" or a "vision" statement.
"We practice to the best of our ability to help pets have full and healthy lives. We will treat our clients fairly while, at the same time, being fiscally responsible in order to sustain our practice and provide our staff with quality of life and continued employment."
The first problem with most of these statements are they are too vague. What does "full and healthy" mean? What is "fair?" What is "fiscal responsibility?" What is "quality of life?"
The second problem is once they are written, they are immediately paraded on our websites, printed on our practice brochures, and then promptly forgotten. Can you recite your "mission" statement? Can any of your staff?
I had a "mission" statement, because that was what the "gurus" said I should do in order to be a progressive manager. Do I remember it? No. Was it a "living" document that defined where I was trying to get on a daily basis? No. Did it define and shape every decision I made? No. Did it give direction to my staff in their improvement efforts? No. What improvement efforts?
A "True North" statement is much more of a "working" document, just as our Constitution and Bill of Rights are "working" documents of ideals that guide our laws and policies. A true north statement generally encompasses the four to six areas of your practice that will form your core, long term goals.
For example, "Patient Care", "Client Satisfaction", "Employee Development", "Fiscal Improvement" and "Community Involvement." These categories or "focus areas" are not necessarily written in stone. They may change from year to year, but this should be a rarity. Also, one or two additional categories can be added from time to time on a shorter term basis. But, do not let the number get too large as to be unmanageable and overwhelming.
Each of these focus areas usually has a small number of Key Performance Indicators. Note that "key" means two, or three, or maybe four measures that help you gauge your progress and the health of the organization.
It is from these focus areas that one year, five year and ten year strategies and improvement activity plans are developed, all attempting to get closer to your concept of perfection, your "True North." Note: I mean "yours, " not the practice down the street or some DVM/MBA in another state or country. Remember, Lean is about making "your" practice the best "your" practice it can be, not somebody else's idea of a "cookie cutter" imitation of their model.
For example, suppose senior management decided that for the next year, what we implement for "Employee Development" will be cross-training the staff so that they are capable of covering other positions in times of need or to cover multiple positions within a value stream in order to improve flow.
The areas of concentration within each category are then introduced to the leads and staff. It is the staff, through a process of nemawashi or consensus (I will explain these terms in a forthcoming blog) building with coworkers and management, that determine the specific projects they feel are a priority based on their experience at the gemba. This process is hansen kanri or strategy deployment, a topic of a future post.
Thanks for stopping by. Please let us know what you think. We haven't reached perfection, yet.

Everything I ever wanted to say; everything I should have shouted straight into the faces of people I love remained closed inside the rooms of steel I built. I wasn't quiet, not at all. But, all of the words I've said; all of the happy sentences; every numb verse went through the censorship of one of my guards. Every thought I had was weighed and measured by my inner fears before its pale echo was allowed and released to others.
Everything I ever said, no matter how true and honest it was, sounded hollow and empty to me, because I knew just how bigger and stronger what I really wanted to say is.
Inside of me, I've said: "I love you!" Inside of me, that's what I've really meant. Even more. Outside, all I could hear me saying was empty and weak: "I like you."
I thought about worshipping and talked about respect. I wanted to run naked through gentle fields of love, honesty and complete sincerity, but all I managed was to walk like a dead man through hopeless plains of not-love and lies.
I loved and I worshipped. But, what is love if you don't share it with the one you love? What is adoration if you are unable to express it; shout it, or even admit it in front of the others; allowing them to admit it to you as well?
Just how many times have I cried in pain inside of me, and appeared just a little bit sad on the outside? How many times have I been burning in sweet fire of love, and been just a cold, careless stone on the outside?
I'm captured in the dungeons I built myself.
Maybe one day I will meet the person who understands me and whom I will understand. The person who knows that "I like you" actually means "I love you!". Will I be able, with her help – face to face with the bulldozer of love – to tear down my walls and shout out loud: "I LOVE!!!"
Will I cry the relief and excitement when I finally hear myself saying exactly what was captured in my thoughts just a second earlier?
That day is a day worth waiting for. That day is a day worth living for.
Love like that is worth dying for.

#loans for pensioners
Pensioner Loans
Rates and Fees verified correct on November 18th, 2015
Just because you're retired doesn't mean you can't take out a loan.
If you're a pensioner and are looking for a loan, you may find your options somewhat limited. Many lenders don't approve finance for pensioners because they are usually dependent on savings or government benefits and have no regular income.
The income and savings they currently have is unlikely to increase, so if they get into financial trouble it becomes a risk for the lender. There is also a fear that due to their advanced age the borrower may pass away before the loan is repaid.
However, despite these obstacles, it's important to know that there are loan and financing options out there if you are retired. It's even more important to know how to compare these options so you find the right product for you. Read on to see what's available, compare your options and find out how to apply.
Financial hardship

Football is a game of hard hits and emotion, and through it all Florida A&M linebacker Demarius Folsom gleams a big, bright smile.
A smile that coaches in the past may not have approved of.
However, don't be fooled by the fifth-year senior's pleasant demeanor.
He is a down-to-business, fierce competitor. This was evident in Florida A&M's 23-17 loss to Hampton on Sept. 8.
After fellow starter Alvis Graham — the mainstay of the defense with 190 tackles in three seasons — left in the first quarter of that game with a knee injury that will lead to him missing the remainder of the season, the departure created a massive hole in the linebacking corps.
A void that Folsom gladly plugged in.
"It became a lot more personal for me," Folsom said. "Seeing him go down, I had to step up, and the coach looked to me. I had to put on my hard hat and go to work."
Folsom led the charge. He made tackle after tackle, registering a career-high 14 stops by the game's end.
Folsom followed up that performance with eight tackles, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery at then-No. 20 South Florida on Saturday, although the Rattlers surrendered 745 yards in a 70-17 bruising.
Florida A&M coach Joe Taylor and Folsom attribute No. 11's success to the amount of film the linebacker studies throughout the week.
"He's like a coach on the field," Taylor said. "He makes sure everyone is in place. That's the kind of mental toughness you want to see in one of your leaders."
Folsom wasn't shy when he said he was a smart guy. He acknowledged knowing many tips and tendencies from opposing teams.
When asked about Saturday's opponent, Southern, at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Folsom proceeded to rattle off the Jaguars offense stating that quarterback Dray Joseph is a threat in both the passing and rushing game, and it is odd that Joseph leads the team in rushing.
Folsom then named SU's running backs, something many players may not know —especially when facing an out-of-conference foe.
Breaking down film and playing the sport is fun for Folsom, who has strapped on a helmet since the second grade.
"You have to be mentally tough to play football," Folsom said. "Football allows you to get away when you're having tough times and just focus on football."
Taylor has been impressed with Folsom's growth over the years in all areas of life.
On the field, Folsom's development has blossomed with his patience and then production. Folsom waited three years until he consistently contributed to the defense. In 2010, he was second on the team behind cornerback Qier Hall with 58 tackles and led the team with 10 tackles for loss.
Off the field, Taylor applauded Folsom for his involvement with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Folsom sings in the choir.
But what about all that smiling from Folsom? Well, Taylor actually enjoys it.
"We tell these guys when the good Lord wakes you up, you have to go have a day," Taylor said. "He seems to understand that. I just love it when young people do have that joy and kind of spirit."
Coming out of Madison County High School in Madison, Fla., Folsom said he would have gone to a junior college if it wasn't for football helping him receive a scholarship to Florida A&M.
Now on pace to graduate with a criminal justice degree in May, Folsom has his eyes set on law school, where he wants to eventually become a lawyer for football players among other things.
One thing is certain for Folsom: He will need to apply the same study habits he currently uses watching film to the course load he will receive in law school.

She's especially irritated by Thatcher, the vineyard's smart-mouth, dimple-faced farmhand. But she soon begins to appreciate the area's charm, and Thatcher's charm, too. She even swaps her trademark heels for a pair of cowboy boots. As Tess spends more time getting to know Thatcher, she finds herself loosening her grip on her old life little by little. Unfortunately, things on the vineyard aren't as simple as they seem. There's a secret here, and when the truth comes to light, Tess is forced to reconsider every plan she's ever made.
Release Date: December 2, 2014

Get Set for a Bumpy Ride!
Well last night's election results are fairly inconclusive, especially with around 218,000 special votes still to be counted. Voters largely deserted the minor parties (according to Frogblog, in 2002, one in three kiwis(32.91%) supported the five elected minor parties... in 2005, just one in six kiwis(16.36%) gave their party vote to a minor party).
Mrs Peter Davis's Labour Party look to have the upper finger at the moment, but it's going to take a lot of negotiating/compromise/arguing to come up with a workable arrangement. Whatever the end result, it looks like we're in for a bumpy 3 years (or less, if you believe some commentators)
Lessons learnt from this Election Campaign:
* LABOUR: Many journalists and commentators have pointed out what an appallingly bad campaign Michael Cullen has run.
Starting with his "Chewing Gum" budget, through to finding billions of dollars hidden under the sofa, through to his poor performance against John Key, questions must surely be asked about his future in charge of the purse strings if Labour leads the next Government.
One possibility could be Cullen to work alongside United Future's Gorden Copeland as Associate Minister of Finance?
Saddest loss of the night was that of John Tamihere (who didn't want to be on the List)... A rare breed - an honest politician! ;-)
* NATIONAL: New Zealand currently has an MMP voting system. You need allies/friends/partners in order to form a stable government. Labour to their credit understands that, which is why they co-operated with the Green Party during this campaign.
Another term in opposition may not be all bad, given the large number of political newbies entering Parliament this election. Some good talent amongst the new intake though, which is good news for the party.
* NZ FIRST: Back in, but with losing Tauranga, Winston Peters will have to tread more carefully. He's no longer got an electorate lifeline, so needs to ensure his party stays over that crucial 5% mark.
Unpredictable as ever, and likely to be a restrictive/tempering influence on whichever party leads the next minority Government.
* GREENS: Mike Ward is well and truly on his bike, after having already cycled all over the North Island ;-) The Greens are about as close as you can get to the 5% threshold (5.07%!).
They'll also be hoping a good number of special votes again swing their way, or their weed poster boy, Nandor Tanczos, will also be out after being dropped down their list. A lesson that Parliament is not the place to be promoting working class drugs? (If he does make it back though, that extra seat could come from one of the Centre/Right parties).
* ACT: A lesson for the party as to the importance of an electorate seat under New Zealand's MMP system. Parties without that security blanket spend half their time battling against the 'wasted vote' argument, with the country's tough 5% threshold. (The Royal Commission's original recommendation was 4%, still high by international standards).
Now that Hide has secured the Epsom seat by a respectable margin, he can go about rebuilding the party with voters assured that a vote for ACT will not be a wasted one.
* UNITED FUTURE: The moral conservative vote appeared to go back to the National Party, and "the worm" failed to turn tricks for Peter Dunne in this election.
The big question will now be whether the Outdoor Recreation Party - who have been working with United Future during this campaign - opt to stay with Dunne, given they did not achieve representation through him. (Outdoor Rec's top candidate, Paul Check, was #7 on UF's list).
* MAORI PARTY: Possibly one of the smartest parties this election, having increased the size of Parliament to 122 MPs, by creating a two seat overhang, thanks to Maori Party supporters splitting their votes to Party Vote Labour. (This despite the fact that the Maori Party is closer to the centre on economic and other issues than Tariana's former friends in Labour).
Pita Sharples has impressed in this campaign, but it remains to see how Hone Harawira will go in Parliament. (I would struggle to stay awake in Parliament, so I don't know how he'll find the whole system!) There will be big pressure on them to deliver on the Foreshore issue.
* PROGRESSIVES: Only Jim Anderton has made it back (thanks to his Wigram seat), based on election night figures, although a small percentage increase when the special votes are tallied would also return his hard working friend Matt Robson, who has some unfinished business in the form of raising the drinking age back up to 20.
** Update: David Farrar over at Kiwiblog has way too much time on his hands ;-) , and has got a complete analysis of the likely winners and losers in terms of seats, once Special Votes are counted.

How I Got Into Social Media Part 3Posted on April 13th, 2009 165 comments »
So far we have learned that I first got involved in online marketing while selling advertising at Citysearch. Next I dabbled with social networking sites, acted like I knew what I was doing with Drupal and worked on wikis. So that brings me to the fall of 2008 where you could say I had a lot of free time on my hands. So I started spending more time online reading blogs like Mashable & ReadWriteWeb to keep up on the latest Social Media trends. And I can't forget about all of the many user groups from Portland Data Plumbing Group (a user group for Yahoo Pipes) to Beer and Blog (a group dedicated to helping people learn how to blog & socializing with a cold one).
I decided I needed to build up my work experience so I decided to volunteer for a non-profit called the Pixie Project, which is a non-profit no kill animal shelter and retail store. This was good for me because it kept me busy and helped my understand how non-profits can use social media to grow their community.
I was also busy looking for full time work. Using social media tools made it easier for me to find jobs. For example I used rss feeds from Yahoo Pipes super job search and from job sites like Indeed. Using Google, Linkedin, Twitter & Facebook I found out more information about job opportunities and contacts at companies. While doing all of this I reached out to my Linkedin contacts to see if how well they knew people at various places that I was applying for.
Then I happened to be following BeerandBlog on Twitter and found out about an event called Endjoblessness. This job fair was going to held at the Oregon Technology Business Center in Beaverton. I first heard about the event from Justin Kistner the founder of BeerandBlog, but at the time the details were not hammered out. So I ended up going to the event on a Saturday dressed up in a suite and tie (maybe a little over dressed compared to others) and not knowing what to expect. At first there were a lot of technology based jobs, but then the CEO of GoSeeTell, Martin Stoll announced they were hiring for a social media strategist. I was very interested and went over and talked to him. After about a month of conversations and hanging out we decided that we were a good fit for each other. So that brings me today and how I got into social media.
Take Aways:
If you want to get into Social Media you have to experience it.
1. As Nike says "just do it"
2. Read Blogs
3. Volunteer doing social media for a non-profit
4. Network and learn from others
5. Blog about your favorite topics
6. Keep updated Social Profiles
7. Use Twitter
8. Track the results
9. Make mistakes
10. Reach out to people for best practices in social media
How I Got Into Social Media Part 2Posted on April 3rd, 2009 69 comments »
In my first post I talked about how working in online advertising opened my ideas to all types of opportunities for promoting products and services online. I created a social networking site called www.mydrinkingclub.com. Continually researched other social networking platforms including:
Free Hosted (Ning)
Free: Open Source (Joomla, Drupal)
Free (Dolphin)
Paid (PHP Fox, KickApps, Boonex)
I realized there was no perfect platform out there and ending up using a "Myspace in the box" solution called PHPFox. After my short lived social networking site I decided to move on. I continued surfing the internet reading blogs about social media and emerging my self in the many sites out there.
In the fall of 07 I had the opportunity to work for a start up called neturalSpace.com. Located at the Portland State Business Accelerator, an incubator for start-ups. neutralSpace wanted to use wiki technology to create a city guide, which quickly changed when I was hired on as the Director of Marketing & Business Development because of my familiarity with the competition that was out there. We shifted our model to be based around social networking in the calendar/cityguide space with a twist on what was already out there. I spent a great deal of time researching "Web 2.0" sites and found a useful website called the GO2Web20 directory. It was my goal to check out all of the sites on the directory. After weeks of researching hundreds of sites I realized that was not realistic. So I started searching tags that were relevant to our project. This was extremely helpful and narrowed down my searches.
Around February of 2008 I started to use Twitter, but like many people did not get it at first and moved on to the next gazillion social networking site to check out. While at neutralSpace I dabbled (or tried to) in website development, using the cms Drupal and learning a crash course in interaction design from a talented website developer, Jeffrey Dalton. After working for the start up for around 10 months I found myself without a job. We did not have a product developed yet, so I really had nothing to market or to sale. Fortunately enough I landed a marketing consulting gig with the wiki company AboutUs. There I got to know Ray King, Ward Cunningham and the rest of the talented crew much better. It was a great experience and Ray King is a visionary and really cares about his employees. I was hired to help out with marketing, sales and branding. There I researched new products/services they could sell and develop. I also worked on the team in re-branding their Deluxe Article Writing Service, which is now called SpotlightUs.
A few months before that I started twittering for the Green Dragon & using social media to promote one of my favorite places at the time to drink beer. While using twitter to monitor conversations on Twitter I realized what a valuable tool Twitter is for restaurants. One of the promotions that I ran was buy 1 get 1 free lunch which resulted in one of their busiest lunches ever. I continued to work with the Green Dragon on a limited basis because of budget and their understanding of the power of social media. If only I was given full authority to implement all of my ideas, it would have been a wonderful experiment of how small businesses can succeed with social media. Nonetheless it was still a small success and a fun experiment. Fast forward to November, my contract with AboutUs ran out and the Green Dragon was purchased. I tried to start an online marketing company with someone, but it did not work out. So all of a sudden I had a lot of free time on my hand. What to do now? Read How I Got Into Social Media Part 3 coming soon.
How I Got Into Social Media Part 1Posted on January 26th, 2009 278 comments »
After working for Citysearch for a year I started to get intrigued about online marketing. I spent hours studying online marketing trends, SEO & SEM techniques. Later I joined a freshly formed internet marketing group called Search Engine Marketing Portland or SEMPDX. During this time an idea surfaced for a niche social networking site. Next I did a lot of research on Social Networking platforms including Ning, PHP Fox, Drupal, Joomla, KickApps, Dolphin and several others.
It was at a SEMPDX meeting that I met John Hartman a social media consultant at Feedia. He suggested several platforms including Joomla & Ning. I took some of his suggestion and further continued my research and decided on a paid option called PHP Fox. At $299 for a license I could afford this myspace in the box software. This was the best option for me because of the price, features and the ability to buy additional features once I needed them. After hiring a local programmer to set up my site and style the css; mydrinkingclub.com was born. A niche site dedicated to people of legal age creating their own online/offline drinking clubs. My friend Kelly Quashine an award winning graphic designer created my logo. I let my friends know about the site and it started virally growing. They really thought I had something. Next, I created an online store on CafePress selling my own swag including t-shirts and hats. For several months I managed the site, engaged in the community and contributed content to the site. Unfortunately; my lack of programming skills and dissatisfaction with the platform resulting in me doing nothing on the site and I recently took it down.
Part Two Is Coming Soon!

ICS Learn Feedback Policy
1. Introduction
This policy aims to give all ICS Learn staff members involved in learner assessment clear guidance on the principles, rationale and aims involved in providing effective feedback in relation to learner coursework.
ICS Learn views feedback as an integral part of a learner's success to help effectively support learning. Because of this, factors such as response times and quality of feedback are regarded as being of high importance.
The aim of the current policy is to develop an overall approach to feedback that enhances the effectiveness of assessment in aiding learners to achieve the necessary knowledge and skills described in a module or programme's intended learning outcomes.
To ensure that these standards are met, this policy works in line with ICS Learn's current Quality Enhancement and Improvement Framework, specifically expectations 18 and 25. These expectations stipulate that learners are able to monitor progress through feedback and academic discussion and that feedback is timely and constructive and allows learners to develop academically and meet intended learning outcomes.
For details of how this policy is implemented, please see the ICS Learn Feedback Procedure.
2. Scope
This policy applies to all learners on all study programmes offered by ICS Learn, covers all work and feedback given to and submitted by all ICS Learn learners. Any feedback, regardless of the form it is given in, be it written, spoken or otherwise falls under the remit of this policy. Each individual programme will follow its own guidelines and procedures (as set out in the Feedback Procedure). All feedback guidelines will underline the key principles shown in section 3.2.
3. Policy Statements
3.1 Feedback Guidelines
ICS Learn understands the importance of timely and constructive feedback. Because of this, we agree to ensure that:
- All relevant feedback service level agreements (SLAs) are communicated to learners from the onset of the course to establish learner expectations.
- Feedback will be delivered promptly to the learner.
- Constructive feedback will be provided to the learner and this will help them to progress and improve in their studies.
- Feedback will be given in the appropriate format and will be accompanied by a feedback/marking sheet where one is available.
- ICS Learn aims, where possible, to give thorough and individualised feedback to a learner and will, where appropriate, respond to a learner's request for further feedback.
3.2 Feedback Principles
To ensure that all feedback provided to learners meets set out standards, ICS Learn adheres to the following principles:
- All feedback is constructive and recognises a learner's strengths as well as weaknesses. To ensure this, feedback should acknowledge what learners have done well, as well as areas for improvement. This will help boost morale and motivation as well as help them to gain a full appreciation of why they did well or where they need to improve.
- Feedback is to be given in a timely and prompt manner. This ensures that learners are able to use the feedback to effectively make progress throughout their course.
- All feedback should be comprehensive and easy to understand; it should be clear and unambiguous with clear contexts.
- All feedback should be relevant and relate to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for the task so that learners are aware of what is expected of them.
- Feedback should be encouraging and positive where possible to allow the learner to know what they need to work on to improve for future assessments.
4. Roles and Responsibilities
All aspects of feedback set out in this policy apply to all members of staff associated either directly, i.e. tutors or indirectly i.e. Curriculum Coordinators involved in the marking of learner work.
Staff involved in assessing learners' work are responsible for:
- Assessing learners' work according to published assessment criteria which are aligned to intended learning outcomes;
- Providing timely, informative and helpful feedback which enables learners to further improve their learning and performance wherever possible;
- Informing learners when, where and how feedback will be provided;
- Engaging in dialogue with learners about assessment and feedback; and
- Continuously reviewing their approaches to assessment and feedback to reflect effective practice.
It is the responsibility of the Curriculum Coordinators to ensure that feedback is standardised and maintained by all tutors and other staff involved in providing academic feedback to learners.
All staff involved should follow the ICS Learn Feedback Procedure to ensure that standards are maintained.
It is the responsibility of the Curriculum Coordinators to review feedback procedures to ensure that these standards continue to be maintained and improved upon.
This policy should be adhered to across ICS Learn. The implementation of the policy will be monitored by the Quality Assurance Coordinator.
Consider the implications of staff annual leave on feedback return times. Reasonable measures should be taken during times where tutors or other staff are on annual leave to help ensure that any feedback given out with Service Level Agreement (SLA) is minimised, e.g. by making alternative arrangements for marking. If an extension to the SLAs cannot be avoided, this should be predicted and a new return date agreed and communicated to learners.
5. Further Information
This policy should be read and work in conjunction with ICS Learns Feedback Procedure. This policy works in conjunction with and compliments the ICS Learn Assessment Policy. This and all other ICS Learn Policies are set out to be in line with the Quality Enhancement and Performance Framework.
6. Glossary
Quality Enhancement and Performance Framework: The Framework defines all quality standards and expectations which the company intends to meet and fulfil within the learner journey. The Framework is used to define quality standards and benchmark our performance to it.
Assessment: Any assessed piece of work (such as examinations, assignments and other assessable work) submitted by a learner that enables them to monitor their progress and contributes to their academic success.
Assessment criteria: The specific criteria in which a learner's work is assessed against. These criteria should be understood by both the assessor and the learner. Feedback given should directly relate to these criteria.
Feedback: Information provided to learners on the quality of their performance in relation to assessment criteria, which forms the basis of improved student learning.
Intended learning outcomes: Criteria that the learner is expected to be able to demonstrate, in terms of particular knowledge, skills and understanding, by the end of a module or programme.
Service Level Agreement (SLA): An official commitment between the study centre and the learner on when assessment feedback and query response should be received.

During the last few days of 1993, I received several calls in response to my column on year-end charitable gifts. Most of the callers buzzed with joy about unexpected year-end gifts, some in the six and seven figures and nearly all involving appreciated property.
Those gifts were in apparent response to the Clinton administration's recent tax-code changes that favor charitable gifts of such property for people affected by the Alternative Minimum Tax.
One of my favorite calls came from Helen London, executive director of Central Scholarship Bureau (CSB), a 70-year-old nonprofit organization that provides "last-resort" loan aid, financial planning, career counseling and guidance to students seeking higher education. Last year, I covered their successful $300,000 fund-raising campaign and the lessons it offered to the nonprofit community.
