Referencing style guides
Referencing styles
A referencing style is a set of rules telling you how to acknowledge the thoughts, ideas and works of others in a particular way.
Referencing is a crucial part of successful academic writing, avoiding plagiarism and is key to your assignments and research.
Watch Introduction to referencing (YouTube, 3m35s)
Which referencing style should I use?
- There is no standard style used at UQ
- In some cases there is a standard style used by a particular school or discipline, but even in those cases it is still possible that a particular lecturer may require a different style
- Students should check their course profile or ask their lecturer
- Researchers submitting a paper for publication in a journal should check the journal's Instructions for Authors, which will normally be available on the journal's website

About Us
BeeStitchin' Embroidery entered my life after I purchased my first Embroidery machine to use with my other business and absolutely fell in love. I had been running a handmade business in Australia (Bonnies BubbyCakes) since 2010, and purchased an embroidery machine as a way to shake things up.
I began digitizing and launched BeeStitchin Embroidery in March 2013 - designing digital embroidery designs to be used with personal embroidery machines.
A Little About Myself and My Family
A Little About Myself and My Family
Me - The face behind BeeStitchin' Embroidery (Bonnie)
Life is certainly far from boring in our hive, with 3 busy little bees keeping me on my toes.
We have MrJ – a vibrant, boisterous 13 year old . With a love of all things LEGO, LEGO and LEGO (oh and cars), and flaming red hair, he's my little prince. He is fast overtaking his mumma in height and outsmarting me with his whitty comebacks and jokes. Mr J is our resident Nerd and we love him to bits!
MissK – sassy 8 year old, she certainly knows what she wants from life (well today anyway haha). Our amazing girl with beautiful brown skin (haha she didn't get her beach complexion from me - so jealous haha), golden locks, rosey cheeks and attitude, is 8 going on 28. She is my budding artist and has started drawing things that she would like me to turn into embroidery designs for her.
and then we have the devine MissR – now 5 and a "big school girl", a mass of scrumptious bouncing blonde waves, vibrant blue eyes and a personality to match. She loves all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bugs, Spiders, Dirt and Trucks. She is our little junior Entomologist (Bug person) and Beekeeper in training. :)
MrP – My Husband, the bee keeper who spends his (very little) spare time disecting and rebuilding cars… when he isnt covered in grease he is suited up in white, tending to his girls (the bees).
Me? … Im a mum, a small business owner and I work my daytime job in a busy commercial embroidery setting running a wonderously amazing 6 head machine (small compared to many commercial machines, but I love it so much) loving every moment.

Are you learning Spanish? Have you already reached a good level? Are you living in Spain or South America? If the answer is yes, you might have found a wall in your way: "the real or natural language".
The fact that you master the grammar and your vocabulary covers all your needs, doesn't mean you speak "real Spanish". So, what or who establishes what "real Spanish" is? Keep reading and you will find it out.
"Real Spanish" is the natural way to speak Spanish. It's the usual expressions which are choosen by native speakers spontaneously. It's not a matter of linguistic accuracy but usage of words in the proper situations. Let's see some examples:
Saludos (Greetings) and despedidas (farewells).
If you are talking to friends, forget the typical phrases you can find in your manual such as "hola, ¿cómo estás?" . Of course you can use them, but you will sound more natural saying "¿qué tal?", "¿qué pasa?", "¿qué hay?" or "¿cómo te va?".
If it's time to go, don't abuse sentences like "adiós" or "hasta la vista"; using the first one a lot you will look like my grandad or Terminator with the last one. Other options are "venga, nos vemos", "hasta luego" or "chao".
Dar o preguntar direcciones (giving or asking for directions).
One of the most stressful situation for a tourist is asking for a direction; firstly, because of the distrust on our own language level and secondly, for the impatience showed by locals when they bump into a foreigner. Your manual might suggest questions like "¿cómo puedo ir al centro de la ciudad?" or maybe, "¿dónde está el parque?". They are good, of course, but I will probably say "¿cómo se va al centro de la ciudad?" or "¿por dónde cae el parque?", "¿hay una farmacia por aquí?", "perdone, ¿para ir a la estación?".
You may expect replies like "sigue recto", or "gira a la izquierda / a la derecha", but you can have problems if they answer "tira por esta calle", "tuerce a la izquierda / a la derecha", "coge la segunda bocacalle"…
En el bar (in the bar).
The bar is not a restaurant. The fauna gathered in these places is very different. Los parroquianos (metaphorically, parishioners or regular customers), share familiarity, stories, sorrow and happiness. You will not hear questions like "¿qué desea tomar?" or "la cuenta, por favor". These are too much polite. "¿Qué te pongo?" or "¿qué te debo?" are more natural.
Muletillas (Fillers).
Muletilla comes from the word muleta (crutch) and it refers to a term that supports us to think before speaking in a conversation, without stopping it really. On www.spanishviaskype.com, students often ask what "pues…", "esto…", "y tal.", "vale", "sí o qué", "venga"… means. The answer requires a new article (and we'll do it). We'll say that some of them express several emotions, but the others, just introduce a pause to think.
In spite of that, we don't mean you should use these forms in all situations in order to seem natural. We're just talking about daily chats and informal conversations.
Well, if you are planning to learn Spanish from zero for your next holidays in Spain, we recommend you to take a look at our Spanish Survival Course. However, if you have a higher level, and you want to speak "real Spanish", Spanish Conversational Classes is your course on www.spanishviaskype.com. What is more real and natural than speaking via Skype from home, nowadays? Reserve now your free trial lesson here, and just speak real Spanish.

Attention Blasphemous Girls & Guys!
I've been meaning to let everyone know that all the orders from my online store have been shipped and they are on their way! My apologies for the delay but there is a lot going on behind the scenes with the set up for our new album at the moment. This was my biggest launch yet and with all the solid perfumes, oils, jewelry + My Ruin merch that sold out, the wrapping and packaging it all was pretty time consuming as I wanted everything to be beautiful upon its arrival and your opening. As many of you know, the personal touch is important to me when it comes to my designs. That being said, please make sure to drop me a line to my inbox to let me know your packages got to you all safely and post some photos for me with your new BGD! I can't wait to see them all and thank you again for the continued support and rock love for my music and art.
Sacred to the heart.

With a smile and a short statement of quiet defiance, Julian Assange tonightwalked free from custody and into the kind of media scrum more commonly seen after a decades-long prison sentence, rather than nine days on remand.
This was the third hearing in as many weeks relating to the WikiLeaks founder's bail application over sex assault charges against two Swedish women, which he denies but for which his extradition is being sought, and it is unlikely to be the last before the allegations are resolved.
But with the global storm over the website's leaks and a gathering campaign of online protest against what is seen by some of his supporters as a politically motivated process, this was never going to be a mere procedural hearing.
Journalists from around the world – the US, Sweden, Spain, the Netherlands – queued from before dawn to secure a seat in court, while a pyramid of photographers and TV crews teetered precariously at the entrance to the Royal Courts of Justice in central London, in anticipation of the Australian, at some point, walking out of its imposing front doors on to the Strand.
At 6pm, more than five hours after being told that, with conditions, he was indeed free to leave, he walked out into a battery of flashing lights.
In court he had seemed weary, leaning his head against the mahogany wall of the dock as the appeal was heard. But Assange had found new energy when he was finally let out of the cells, thanking "all the people around the world who have had faith in me", those members of the press "who are not all taken in", and "the British justice system itself, where, if justice is not always an outcome, at least it is not dead yet".
He had had plentiful opportunity, "during my time in solitary confinement in the bottom of a Victorian prison", to reflect on the conditions of those around the world who are also held in solitary confinement, he said, and would continue "to protest my innocence in this matter and to reveal, as we get it, as we have not yet, the evidence from these allegations".
Sweden is seeking Assange's extradition over allegations of rape, molestation and unlawful coercion, made by two women over 10 days in August. One of the women says she was victim of "unlawful coercion" and "sexual molestation", alleging that Assange had sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used.
The second woman accuses him of having sex with her on 17 August without a condom while she was asleep at her Stockholm home. Assange admits having consensual sex with both women, but denies any criminal wrongdoing.
On 7 December he voluntarily attended a police station in London where he was arrested and remanded to Wandsworth prison in south London. A senior district judge at Westminster magistrates court last week granted conditional bail, a decision which against which he immediately appealed, meaning he remained in custody until yesterday.
However, having overcome the efforts of Swedish and British prosecutors to keep him in prison until his extradition hearings, expected early next year, the Australian was nearly undone by logistics. Having attracted an army of high-profile backers, including celebrity campaigner Jemima Khan and the Oscar-winning film-maker Michael Moore, Assange's team submitted a list of possible backers willing to offer surety that the Australian would not attempt to flee.
But Mr Justice Ouseley, head of the administrative court, expressed his concerns that "many of those who are offering themselves as sureties are doing so because they are supporters of [Assange's] activities with WikiLeaks", rather than being in any position to attest to his character and the likelihood of his absconding.
Having heard submissions from the crown that Assange, as a "nomadic" person, was unsuitable for bail, he dismissed the campaigning journalist John Pilger as "another peripatetic Australian".
Unfortunately, not all those he deemed acceptable to stand surety – the Australian journalist Phillip Knightley, the publisher Felix Dennis, the Nobel prize-winning biologist Sir John Sulston, the former Labour minister Lord Evans and Professor Patricia David, a retired professor of education – appear to have expected to get the nod. There was, accordingly, a tense few hours while the five were tracked down across the country and persuaded to present themselves in court or at a designated police station to complete the paperwork. An additional pressure was the requirement that Assange reach his bail address by 10pm, his curfew time, otherwise he would be in breach of his bail conditions.
That address, after his Victorian cell, may come as a pleasant shock. The WikiLeaks founder will now endure the hardship of a Georgian country house on the Norfolk-Suffolk borders, Ellingham Hall, a property so grand that its sheer scale was raised as an objection in court by the crown, who argued that electronic equipment would be unable to monitor Assange across the "vast" extent of the estate. (It was suggested by his lawyer that the Australian would willingly restrict himself to "the manor house").
He will be the guest of Vaughan Smith, a former army captain and the founder of the Frontline Club, a club for journalists in London, where Assange had stayed.
Last night Smith told the Guardian his friend would be treated to a celebratory dinner of "stew and dumplings" and joked that there was no prospect Assange could escape. "He's not very good at reading maps. He's topographically awful. If he runs off into the woods I will find him," he said.
Assange, Smith stressed, was in no sense a fugitive and was merely staying at his country estate as a regular guest. "We are not harbouring him. That much is very clear."
Others, however, were not in joking mood: Pilger said the biggest threat to Assange's liberty was the US government, which he called "the great unspoken in this case. It is a spectre of which we are all aware that he might end up in a high-security prison in the US."
Assange's WikiLeaks colleague Kristinn Hrafnsson said the website would continue its activities, with Assange once again at the helm, from Ellingham Hall. "We have a fairly decent internet connection there. We will keep on operating as we have done before."

Subscribe To Why Jason Bourne Took So Long To Be Made, According To Matt Damon Updates
It's hard to believe, but the last time we saw Jason Bourne was The Bourne Ultimatum in 2007. It took them 9 years to make a fourth entry in the series, Jason Bourne, which hits theaters this weekend. Normally it doesn't take a studio very long to greenlight a sequel to a successful franchise, so why was there such a big gap in between movies? According to Matt Damon, the answer is actually pretty simple: they needed a good story.
Matt Damon spoke with Entertainment Weekly about all things Jason Bourne, and eventually they got to the topic of the gap in between films. The Bourne franchise has plenty of fans who have wanted Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass to bring the character back, so it's not like a sequel wasn't in high demand. Apparently, both Damon and Greengrass wouldn't come back until there was a good enough story, and that involved giving the series some space for a couple of years.
Props to Matt Damon for that sick Matt Damon burn. It's always nice to see a celebrity that's willing to laugh at himself a little. As for the rest of what he said, it's hard to argue with the logic. A good story is pretty much the main reason to make any film (besides money) and it's refreshing that Damon and Paul Greengrass recognized that. Nobody wants to see Bourne become a lazy franchise that makes the same movie every two years. Plus a little space helps to get people more eager to see a new addition.
In the same interview, Matt Damon went on to say that he and Paul Greengrass looked at where the world was in 2007, compared it to the way it is now. They were surprised by just how much had changed, from the Obama administration to social media. Social media seemed to be a big focus for Damon, who cited the argument of privacy versus security. Plenty of movies have tackled that over the years but Bourne never has, so his statement implies that it could play a big factor into Jason Bourne.
You can see the story that took 9 years to come up with in Jason Bourne, which is out in theaters right now.

Do You Think You Have A Problem With Your Thyroid Gland? Read To Know More!
Basically problems with thyroid are usually ones that have an effect on the thyroid gland, which is a gland in the front portion of the neck. It is shaped like butterfly and has a vital part in regulating many processes related to metabolism all over the body.
This gland that is just below the Adam's apple is wrapped around the windpipe. The thin area made up of tissue in the middle of the gland is called the isthmus and it joins the two thyroid lobes on each of the sides. The thyroid gland uses iodine to create important hormones. T4 or Thyroxine is the main hormone that comes out of this gland. After the hormone is delivered through the blood to the tissues of the body, a small part of T4 that comes from the gland is converted to triiodothyronine or T3 which the hormone that is active. A feedback mechanism linked to the brain regulates the working of the thyroid gland.
When the level of this hormone is low, a hormone called thyrotropin-releasing hormone or TRH is produced and this in turn is the reason for the release of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary gland and these results in more release of T4. Since the thyroid gland is controlled by the pituitary gland and the hypothalamus, disorders of these tissues can also affect thyroid function and cause thyroid problems.
Here Are Some Disorders Associated With Thyroid:
Goiter: This is normally a condition when the thyroid gland is enlarged. This could be due to any number of causes like hypothyroidism or some other problem with the thyroid.
Hyperthyroidism: This is a condition when there is an excessive production of the thyroid hormone. This often manifests itself in the form of weight loss that was not intended, tremors, quicker heart rate, nervousness, intolerance to higher temperatures, and increase in perspiration, fatigue and problems with concentration.
Hypothyroidism: This happens when the gland does not produce the right amount of thyroid hormone. This could occur due to problems related to the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland itself or the hypothalamus. The symptoms of this manifests itself in the form of poor concentration, constipation,dry skin, intolerance to cold temperature, weight gain that cannot be explained, pain in the joints and depression.
Thyroid cancer: This kind of cancer is more commonly found in grown woman than males. About two thirds of the cases are found in people within the age of 55 years. The prognosis and survival rate for this cancer is pretty high. More so when cancer is diagnosed in the earlier stages.
Thyroid nodules: These are lumps are masses that occur within thyroid gland and could be due to tumors that are benign, or benign cysts or also very rarely due to thyroid cancer.
Treatment for disorders related to thyroid:
Normally such disorders are treated using medications but in some instances, surgical treatment can also be adopted. The medications can be used to act as a substitute for the missing hormone in case of hypothyroidism. Related medications for managing the symptoms for hyperthyroidism are also given.
Sometimes, a larger sized goiter or a nodule that is hyperfunctioning in the gland can be removed surgically. Surgery could also be needed when there is a possibility of cancer. The gland is removed and synthetic hormone is given to the person instead.
The good thing is that most disorders related to thyroid can be managed with treatment and are normally not life threatening.

Finding Enhanced Enterprise Visibility Through Samanage
Categories: IT Service Management
The type of technology used within an enterprise is changing and evolving. Many times, it can feel like the decisions regarding the adoption of technology and processes are going in a thousand different directions. Developing a plan that best meets the business objectives is critical to the success of the service and support team. This means that IT leaders have to change their focus from just the software and hardware and remember that there are larger business objectives for them to meet and trends to get ahead of.
A great pain point IT organization leaders face is seeing into everything that is happening throughout the organization. Visibility empowers IT leaders to gain awareness and control, while identifying key performance gaps and better understanding the root causes. With the Samanage Enterprise Service Management platform in place, IT leaders are gaining unprecedented visibility, stepping outside of IT, and changing their organization.
"The visibility through Samanage has made the teams think about what their people do and how what they do fits into the overall chain. It's very easy to silo what you do and to not think about how that contributes to the whole service. By actually being able to see the tickets — to see the process and everything that you do — it helps deliver exceptional service to the client." – Tom Reid, Yorkshire Water
"The visibility we now have is due to Samanage and how it relates all of the information, from the service request to the incident, to the problem escalating to a change. The bonus is that it relates all of that to the assets." – Yagoba Gutierrez, Lucania Gestión
"With Samanage, we have the visibility to get a real understanding of workload, the types of issues coming in, and how often they come through." – Adrian Lopez, Rocket Fuel
"Not only are we able to track any IT issues, we can also use Samanage to look at trends over time and get visibility of larger issues throughout the organization, such as training requirements." – Anna Hewlett, Austin Fraser
"Samanage lets us be more collaborative and do our jobs a lot better. The opportunity to track and have visibility into what are our biggest problems will give us the support we need to modify and improve processes in the future." – Chris Capelton, Gourmet Trading
"With Samanage, everything simply got clearer in every respect. Every request is done through the system or does not exist for us, I have a clear view on how each technician's time is spent, and having Incidents, Problems, and Changes has helped me to better train the team on assessing problems and documenting solutions." – Sebastian Pereira, Santex
To hear more from Samanage customers on their implementation, experience, and successes visit our customers page.

Local and Shared Directories and Domains in Lion Server
Lion Server can host a local directory for a small network. It can also host a shared directory as your user base increases. Its ability to do both makes Lion Server a very flexible platform.
Both client computers and servers store account data and information about the computer in a local database on each system. These databases of user information can't be distributed among multiple computers. Even if you create a network directory, each computer will still have a local database with one or more user accounts in it.
Lion Server can store the network user accounts in its local directory. You know that they're in the local directory because you see these users in System Preferences (as well as in the Server app).
A local directory may work for a small network of users with a single server and few network services. But if you had multiple servers, you'd have to set up accounts on every server machine on the network, and users would find themselves using different passwords for different file servers. You also can't use Profile Manager if you don't have a shared network directory.
With a shared directory, multiple servers share the account data, and users can log on to multiple file servers using the same account and password. Users that are bound, or connected, with a directory can access any of the services that reside on servers that are also bound to the same directory.
The use of shared directories goes much further, allowing administrators to manage clients and set password policies. It also enables servers to host home folders for computer users. A server-based home folder means that a user can log on to any computer on the network and have access to her data and settings.
Local and shared directories are also sometimes referred to as local and shared domains. In this context, a domain doesn't refer to registered Internet domains but is used in the sense of spheres of influence. A local domain has an effect on only one computer. A shared domain covers a certain area of a network of computers.
Don't get confused if you see directory domains that end in .com or .net, like Internet domains. The reason has to do with directory services' heavy reliance on DNS (domain name server).

Pizza is a part of life that no one should have to miss. But some of us have to do pizza a little differently in order to still enjoy the delicious snack. So, here is my twist on the classic margarita pizza – with an extra, somehow controversial, twist.
This recipe is incredibly easy because all the hard work is done for you! You don't have to make the base or the sauce, all you really need to do is cut the cheese and construct the pizza. So, let's get started!
- Take out your Warburton Wrap and place it with the darker side down.
- Put the four tablespoons of the Chutney, which is being used as the tomato sauce, in the middle of the wrap. Then spread the chutney around the base, make sure to keep it even. Add any other toppings you want on the pizza now. I made a margarita so it was just the chutney and cheese, but if you want olives or pepperoni, add them now.
- Now, after slicing the cheese (unless you buy grated), evenly distribute the cheese over the chutney covered base.
- Add any extra toppings you want to the pizza – I recommend a little ground black pepper.
- Put under a grill or in an oven for around 3-4 minutes at Gas Mark 5/6. All you're waiting for is for the cheese to melt.
And there you have it! A simple, easy-peasy pizza. If you're on the opposite side of the controversy that is the Pineapple on Pizza Debate, you can use a simple tomato chutney as a replacement!
Now, if you have any requests for recipes, feel free to send it to us using the contact form below!
Take care, everyone 🙂

Original Ford Dirt Track Racer Heading To Auction
"You can't fake a fine patina." That's the thought that kept running through my head as I scrolled through photos of this badass Ford Model T/A Dirt Track Roadster. That and, "Look at the football helmet style bumper! Those side pipes! I want it!" While there are methods by which a vehicle can be given the 'vintage' look, a well trained eye can always tell when it's fakery, and when it's not. One look at this thing and you can tell it's all original, and all beautiful. Built in 1948 by Tommy Garland of Buellton, California (home of Pea Soup Andersens), this dirt track racer is somewhat of a vehicular mutt. The chassis is that of a Ford Model A, the body is from a 1922 Model T, and the rear is off a 1914 Model T. A 1932 Chrysler donated its grill, and the power plant is out of a 270 cubic-inch Chevrolet straight-six. The 3-speed manual transmission is also a Chevrolet unit, and only the second and third gears have been fitted. RELATED: See Photos of the 1920 Ford Model T
If you think that steering wheel has a Mad Max vibe going on, you're right on the money. Underneath all that electrical tape is an industrial circular saw blade that Garland added four cutouts to, and milled the teeth off of. Yeah, this guy was the real deal.
Adding to the hardcore nature of the beast is the driver's seat, which was pulled from a decommissioned WWII bomber. The original seatbelt accounts for one-half of the active safety features, while the braced roll bar accounts for the other. Better keep the shiny—errr, rusty side up.
RELATED: This Mini Cooper Cafe Racer Custom Will Steal Your Heart
Looking at the T/A from the outside, Garland's skills as a welder and engineer are rather apparent. He built triple exhaust manifold himself, as well as the twin "elbow warmer" exhaust. A custom ground camshaft was provided by Sig Erson and the distributor was sourced from a 12-cylinder Cadillac, then adapted to handle the high revving straight-six.
After six years on the dirt track circuit, primarily with Lee Hammock in the driver's seat, but also Chuck Hulsey, No. 101 was put in storage by Garland. Thirty years went by before it was acquired by Buellton racer "Slick" Gaines, who displayed it at Mendenhall's Museum of Gasoline Pumps and Petrolina.
Now it's coming out of its museum state and headed to auction at RM Sotheby's in Monterey, California, next month.

The boy next door. That's what he was. Dash Frasier—my hero from the day we met, when I was six and he was nine. His sister was my best friend, the three of us one happy crew. Then one sweaty summer night changed everything.
No one understood me like Dash. No one made me feel so loved. That's why, when he skipped town, it wrecked me.
Now I'm older. Wiser. I've just snagged my dream job, writing at a film studio. The lead animator on my project? You guessed it.
He's not the boy next door. Not anymore.
I'm guarding my heart this time.
But Dash has secrets that could break us both.
This was another book that I loved then hated the hero then you loved him again. He seemed sweet and caring and just totally perfect for Amelia. Then events happen (not telling you what, you have to read it) and you truly hate him.
Fast forward years later and of course Amelia and Dash run into each other. They're working on a project together. How long will they last as coworkers?
Amelia finally gets an answer to what happened to Dash and why he disappeared. And it was NOT what I was expecting. But that is what made me love him again.
I definitely want to read more of this series and see how the couples are related between each story.
4 stars!

Alice Neel is an artist I have always felt a strong affinity for. She is someone who not only kept realism alive through the last Century but portrait painting as well. Her paintings have a tremendous ability to show the personality of the sitter. She said about herself that she would have made a great psychiatrist but painting was more interesting for her. She painted all kinds of people. She was not looking for people who were pretty, she was looking for people that were interesting, people who moved her and that seemed to be just about anyone who crossed her path.
When people speak about Alice Neel and her art they almost always mention her role within the feminist movement. When she was young there were very few women artists who were taken seriously. In fact her own success came to her very late in life. Women were expected to take care of children and keep house and along comes Alice who wanted to make her painting the main thing in her life and went about doing just that. Now she stands out in history as a somewhat tragic figure for what she suffered through the course of pursuing her art making.
You can learn more about Alice by watching the documentary on her life and work simply called Alice Neel.

A new diet fad claims that replacing one meal a day with mushrooms will help women shed fat, but only in certain parts of the body — the waist, hips and thighs — but not the bust.
The two-week diet, called the M Plan, according to the Daily Mail, has been touted by celebrities such as Kelly Osbourne and Katy Perry.
Experts say that there's nothing magical about mushrooms — replacing one meal a day with any vegetable would help a person lose weight, said Katherine Tallmadge, a registered dietitian, and op-ed contributor to LiveScience. [Lose Weight Smartly: 7 Little-Known Tricks that Shave Pounds ]
And the claim about selective weight loss doesn't hold up to science. "There's no evidence that any diet … will help you lose weight in a particular spot," Tallmadge said.
How people lose, and also gain, weight is determined largely by genetics, Tallmadge said, but factors such as age and smoking habits also play a role.
Studies show older women are more likely to gain weight around their belly, likely due to changing hormone levels, Tallmadge said. Smoking has also been linked to an increased risk of gaining weight in the midsection.
However, studies suggest that certain exercises may help people lose weight selectively: there's evidence that walking is an effective exercise for helping people lose belly fat, Tallmadge said.

Harford County residents recently gathered for the first time in support of an international awareness event, Walk on Water 5K Walk/Run, held June 16 at Tydings Park in Havre de Grace.
The 5K event, sponsored by the Harford County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., raised donations to bring clean water to African countries in need.
The sorority worked in conjunction with The Water Project Inc., a nonprofit organization to benefit communities around the world suffering from a lack of access to clean water. The Water Project Inc., to date, has funded more than 330 projects, helping more than 125,000 people improve their access to clean water and sanitation.
Funds raised at the 5K will go directly to the Water Project Inc. in support of bringing clean water to those suffering from unsanitary water conditions, as well as providing sanitation and cross-contamination education to any one of the Water Project-serviced African communities, which include Kenya, Sierra Leone, Uganda, Rwanda, India and the Sudan.
"So many of us take the clean water we have every morning to take our shower or brush our teeth for granted," Lora Williams, race director for the event, said, "This year, we wanted to something that would make a global impact while promoting healthy lifestyles, and raising awareness about the need for clean water for countries in need was a perfect fit."
Williams serves as chairperson for the healthy lifestyles committee, one of five program areas in which Delta Sigma Theta Sorority is focused.
Race participants ran the 5K course through downtown Havre de Grace early on a Saturday morning, beginning at the Gazebo in Tydings Park, on the waterfront.
"It was a beautiful course, for a beautiful cause," Dr. John Bellantoni, of Susquehanna OB/GYN, said. "It's so important to support grassroots efforts like these; if it doesn't start with us, then who will get this sort of work accomplished?"
One participant, Elaine Rumke, who placed as top female runner in her age group, said she runs about once a month.
"What better way to stay in shape and help others at the same time. My church does similar work as well in Kenya. I was happy to take part in this event," Rumke said.
"This is a great opportunity to support a project that contributes to the larger picture," Derrick Brockman, Harford County resident and member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Iota Nu chapter, said. "This was my first race and I'll be back for more."
The Water Project shares stories that inspire people to raise the money needed to build wells and conduct other water projects at schools, medical centers, churches and other public places in under-developed nations. With donations, this Christian not-for-profit organization and its partners are able to do the digging and construction needed to provide clean, safe water efficiently and sustainably. They also mobilize, train and follow up with local communities, helping ensure long-term success. For more information, visit http://thewaterproject.org/.

3 New Balance ads.... The ad writer knows running/runners...
Ain't that the truth...
at 10:02 AM
3 comments:
Yeah...those ads are cool, aren't they? It's been a while since I've seen ads especially tailored to runners. I had somewhat of a zen-like moment whenever they come on! Anyway, enjoyed your blog and wanted to say hi!ReplyDelete
I have yet to see the ads on TV...though I don't watch a ton, so maybe I've just missed them. My favorite shoes have been NB since I started back to running, so they're extra relevant to me.
Love the ads. Ryan saw the last one the other night and forced me to come in and watch it. Lazy guy in bed, serious runner woman. I know what that feels like!ReplyDelete

I have a PC running Windows 7 as the host for a Ubuntu Server 12.04 VirtualBox-Guest installation. On this guest OS I installed OpenVPN following the tutorial on help.ubuntu.com. I am now running Mac OS X Mountain Lion with TunnelBlick and am trying to connect to the OpenVPN server without success so far.
As for the VirtualBox installation everything should be defaulted but port forwarding 1194 (and port 22 for SSH). I am also forwarding this port within my router to the host OS.
While I have no trouble connecting through SSH I can not get access to OpenVPN.
Is it even possible to have OpenVPN running inside a Guest OS and use it as a vpn?
What would be a good way to troubleshoot this connection?

Radio Maintenance
With the creation of the Radio Maintenance Division in 1998, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office committed to replacing the aging and unreliable radio system that was in use. After nearly two years of planning, ground was broken in February of 2000 on a state of the art 800mHz communications system with a national "Mutual Aid" subsystem. The system was completed and brought "on the air" in November of 2001. As part of our commitment to Homeland Security, seamless interoperability with our seven surrounding agencies was built into the communications system.
One of the Radio Maintenance Division's primary responsibilities is the care and maintenance of this communications system. The system consists of 34 major subsystems at six different physical locations throughout the parish. The Division uses preventative maintenance procedures and constant vigilance to insure the system is always available to accomplish the mission of the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office.
In addition to providing reliable and secure communications for the Sheriff's Office, the system also provides communications for the Folsom Police Department, Madisonville Police Department, Covington Police Department, Mandeville Police Department, Sun Police Department, Pearl River Police Department, St. Tammany Fire Protection District 4, the District Attorney's Office, St. Tammany Parish Public Works, St. Tammany Parish Office of Emergency Management, St. Tammany Parish Coroner's Office and the Louisiana Office of Probation and Parole in St. Tammany.
The Radio Maintenance Division also maintains a wireless data network. This network provides field units with the ability to run license plates and other checks, write reports and view dispatch traffic in their vehicle so that they remain on the streets. This system is also utilized by many of the local agencies in St. Tammany Parish.
Fleet Maintenance
The Vehicle Maintenance Department supports and maintains all STPSO vehicles, boats, trailers and associate equipment. The department is divided into three categories:
Vehicle Maintenance
Body Shop
Boat Maintenance
The Vehicle Maintenance Department (AKA Maintenance Barn) services all Criminal Division and Administration vehicles. All vehicles are inspected for safety every 3,000 miles with appropriate maintenance. STPSO employs ASE certified mechanics that oversee and train inmate workers who perform repairs and general maintenance on the fleet. This not only cuts operating expenses for the Sheriff's Office, it teaches the inmate a trade so upon release, he will be able to gain employment. STPSO is one of the safest fleet operations in the area.
The Body Shop Department repairs damaged vehicles in our fleet. We have a full service body shop capable of repairing and refinishing vehicles damaged in accidents. The Body Shop is manned by an ASE body shop mechanic who is also a professional painter and an expert in body repair.
The Boat Maintenance department maintains the STPSO fleet of watercraft and associated equipment. They are responsible for inspecting and servicing boats, trailers, 4 wheelers and all other equipment used by the Special Operations Department of the Sheriff's Office.
All three of these departments make up the team that supports the Sheriff's Office Mission to provide safe emergency response to St. Tammany Parish.
The Sheriff's Office conducts a Public Auction once a year as needed to remove excess vehicles and equipment from inventory. The auction is open to the general public and is advertised on this website and in local newspaper publications.

ARLINGTON Texas --
Aaron Rodgers dashed the Dallas Cowboys' hopes for a win once again.
The Green Bay quarterback tossed a 12-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Davante Adams with 11 seconds remaining to lift the Packers to a 35-31 victory over Dallas on Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
Rodgers' scoring throw to Adams capped a nine-play 75-yard march that took only 1:02.
The Packers eliminated Dallas from the playoffs on this same field in January when Rodgers converted a key third-and-20 play in the closing seconds and kicker Mason Crosby nailed a 51-yard field goal as time expired.
Green Bay (4-1) returned to do it twice in a year dropping the Cowboys to 2-3 on the season.
Quarterback Dak Prescott led the Cowboys on a 17-play 79-yard drive that required a reviewed spot on an Ezekiel Elliot fourth-and-1 run. The review showed Elliott reached the ball over the Packers' 19-yard line extending the Cowboys drive.
Three plays later Prescott made it count by running to his left and picking his way through the Green Bay secondary to put the Cowboys ahead 31-28 with 1:13 remaining.
Dallas led Green Bay 24-22 before Green Bay cornerback Damarious Randall stepped in front of a Prescott pass and took it back 21 yards for a four-point lead setting up the see-saw finish.
Rodgers led scoring drives on the Packers' first two possessions of the second half as they erased Dallas' 21-12 halftime lead.
Green Bay kicker Mason Crosby kicked a 22-yard field goal and Rodgers threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Jordy Nelson that put the Packers in front 22-21 six seconds into the fourth quarter.
Dallas scored touchdowns on its first three drives as Prescott had an efficient first half.
Prescott completed 15 of 19 passes for 168 yards and three touchdowns in the first and second quarters. He hit wide receiver Cole Beasley for touchdown passes of 2 and 5 yards to boost the Cowboys to a 14-0 lead by the 13:37 mark of the second quarter.
Wide receiver Dez Bryant leaned past Randall to haul in a 10-yard touchdown catch putting Dallas ahead 21-6 with 6:10 left before halftime.
The Cowboys scored on all four of their first-half possessions against the Rams last week. The clock ran out on the Cowboys' attempt to do the same against the Packers though Dallas didn't punt in the first half for the second straight week.
Even so Rodgers kept Green Bay in the game by passing for 107 yards and a touchdown before halftime.
Rodgers hit Adams for a 10-yard touchdown to cut the Cowboys' lead to one in the first quarter.
Packers running back Aaron Jones ran seven yards for a touchdown in the second quarter. However Crosby missed the extra points on both touchdowns allowing Dallas to go to the break with a 21-12 lead.
Dallas defensive lineman David Irving making his season debut after missing four games due to suspension sacked Rodgers twice in the first half.
NOTES: Packers WR Davante Adams who was carted off the field on a stretcher after being knocked briefly unconscious in Green Bay's last game on Sept. 28 cleared the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play against the Cowboys on Sunday. He caught seven passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns. ... Dallas activated DL David Irving for Sunday's game. Irving who was suspended for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy sat out the first four weeks of this season. It was an opportune time for the Cowboys to get Irving back as he forced three fumbles posted a sack and batted down a pass in Dallas' regular-season 30-16 victory over the Packers last season in Green Bay. ... Dallas LB Sean Lee didn't play for the second straight game due to a hamstring injury he suffered during Dallas' win over Arizona in Week 2. ... Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott rushed for more than 100 yards in both of the team's games against Green Bay last season. Elliott ran 28 times for 157 yards in the regular-season win and gained 125 yards on 22 carries in the Cowboys' 34-31 postseason loss to the Packers. ... Green Bay improved to 19-17 in the all-time series against the Cowboys and the Packers hold a 15-13 edge in regular-season games.

text: XOQDOQ is a computer code used to evaluate routine or anticipated, intermittent releases of radionuclides at nuclear power plants. These assessments are required by 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 100.

This is related to the ff_parse_expr() interface change, which makes the function log an error rather than fill an error string pointer. The problem shows up everytime we use av_set_string3(): if the value for the string is a named value, the evaluation, which is performed *before* the check for named values, will issue a log error message. My fix is to perform the check for named values *before* to evaluate the string, and just if that fails try to perform evaluation.

Mary Ann Wasil Nilan: Jumping for Breast Health!
October 21, 2010 by Barb Scala
Filed under Making a Difference, Overcoming a Challenge, What's New, Who's Blooming
On February 4th, 2004 I found a lump on my breast. On February 5th, I had a negative mammogram, an ultrasound and a surgical biopsy to remove it and was told it was malignant.
Breast cancer…ugh!
One woman, two breasts, eleven lymph nodes, eight chemotherapy treatments, five hospitals, eight surgeries, one stroke, two 10mm amplatzer asd devices in my heart, thirty-seven months, one arm, three casts, twenty one physical therapy appointments, six fills, two silicone implants, double nipple reconstruction. $591,846.33 in total (not including prescriptions).My life priceless!
That's my story along with being a mother of three teenagers, public speaker, former police officer, spent nearly ten years on the ABC soap opera "All My Children" and now health activist as the founder of the grassroots non-profit organization, The Get In Touch Foundation.
Get In Touch's cornerstone mission is the Get In Touch Girls' Program & Daisy Wheel, a breast health initiative educating girls in grades 5-12 on the importance of, and how to do a breast self exam – for life!
The September 2009 launch of the Get In Touch Girls' Program has already resulted in its implementation in 40 states, Washington, D.C. and 13 countries, with a goal to be in every state in the US by 2011. The program, available at no cost to schools, has already been made curriculum in the Milford, CT and New Haven, CT public school systems.
My message and challenge is one of wellness and breast health. For girls and women to "get in touch" with their bodies, information and each other and to live happier, healthier lives.
Be Positive: "In the middle of the most challenging moment of your life, you can discover grace when you realize that others can be inspired by how you respond to that challenge. Whatever you do, do it with faith and grace and style and show others that they can do it, too."
Founder of The Get In Touch Foundation, Mary Ann Wasil Nilan recently won the Oprah Magazine CoverGirl "Giving Beautiful Back Award," as well as honored by the WNBA New York Liberty as one of their 2010 "Women Who Inspire." She will speak at The Women's Conference 2010 spearheaded by Maria Shriver and is currently working on her book "A Diary of Healing." www.getintouchfoundation.org
A New Lifestyle After Breast Cancer

After cancer, Julia found health and a whole new way to live.
Guest: Julia Chiappetta, breast cancer survivor and author of Breast Cancer-The Notebook
LISTEN on Bloom Talk Radio (pre-recorded)
Aired: Jan 14, 2010
When she heard the words "breast cancer", Julia began doing extensive research to "get her arms around" what she would have to deal about her illness and also, about the immune system.
The result was notebooks filled with data that has now been transferred to her book, Breast Cancer-the Notebook—a compilation of easy to understand facts at the fingertips of the reader and her road less traveled in opting not to have radiation or chemotherapy but instead implementing a plan of care and lifestyle change through exercise and wellness and by fueling her body with an organic vegetarian diet.

Shedding with JazzWorks
A regular part of the conversation at summer jazz camp is the wish people have that there could be something like this in the off-season, partly a refresher course, partly a recapturing of the camp vibe.
The upcoming JazzWorks workshop, which we're calling the Ultimate Jazz Combo Workout, is a response to that, a late winter opportunity to play, listen, think about music and learn.
From what I can gather from John Geggie who is organizing it, the workout will have the feel of a jazz camp workshop, but more focussed and with more opportunity for participants to play, since the numbers are small and the session lasts all day.
The day — Saturday, March 23 — should unfold like this: You arrive in the morning along with two or three dozen others. The group is split in half and your half goes into a music room with two faculty members — two of Nancy Walker, Roddy Ellias, Frank Lozano and Sienna Dahlen.
"We don't dive into the playing right away," says Geggie, "but spend some time getting inside the tunes from a theoretical and harmony point of view (an hour or so). Then mid-morning we start working in groups."
(If you're interested in how this sort of thing is done elsewhere, at somewhat greater length, check out pianist George Colligan's Jazz Truth blog, where he describes, with video illustration, the goings-on at The Shed, a camp he began last year in Portland, Oregon.
Later, you will play. Says Geggie: "The focus is on playing and really getting to know these tunes (ones that are chosen for their longevity and popularity in jazz circles) in an intense hands on environment. Everyone will get the chance to play."
In your room will be some rhythm section players, some vocalists, some guitarists and horn players and these will be formed into shifting combinations to work on tunes. You will be geting feedback on your work and a suggestions on how to improve it.
Geggie: "It is a like a coached session where people get together to 'shed' some tunes and get more ideas from the experience."
Here's one thing I really like. The tunes — just a few of them — will have been circulated in advance by email. So if you've done your homework you'll know them, probably well enough so that you don't have to worry about reading notes and chord changes. You can concentrate on playing.
Knowing the tunes and having (presumably) practised them means something else important: it means that you can get a lot out of hearing other people play them. That's one of the seldom-discussed advantages of standards, either jazz standards or Tin Pan Alley: when you listen to someone else playing them you play along with them in your mind, you think along with them while they're improvising. When it comes to a particularly challenging part, you're thinking about what you would play there while you listen to what someone else is playing. Often you hear something you had never thought of, and you can incorporate that into your own playing.
Those thoughts might have to do with harmony, or rhythm or tone or dynamics.
It's quite a revelation to have played a tune like Beautiful Love hundreds of times, think you know it, and then hear it done by Bill Evans or Tom Harrell or Shirley Horn or McCoy Tyner or Anita O'Day. Or to think you understand how the blues works, and then here Miles play the blues, or Coltrane, or Brad Mehldau, or Woody Shaw, or Roddy Ellias.
So that will be part of the experience, getting really inside a song, doing it at different tempos, different time feels, different moods, perhaps different keys.
There won't be the pressure of a final concert, but the opportunity to play, unrehearsed with your peers and with faculty looking on should be an incentive to play your best.
You'll see details about registration elsewhere on the site. There will be more info here soon. It should be good.

"The break travels far and deep into our world. In some places, further than mortal eyes can see. Dare not travel in those parts… Giants of the deep, they have long forgotten. Giants like pillaring shadows, shadows who move swiftly, shadows who would rule the days to come, leave the world dark again, consume until there's none." Said he.
The air was thin and cold. The wind never constant – it struggled to make direction. But the old man, faded like his garments, a dying Wizard stood there in the tower with another. For his time would come sooner than he expected, and this Wizard would never leave without sharing his secrets. But to whom would he pass his knowledge to?
I would say if only the image was clear; A wave of violet matter would smudge the details from my sight. But another was surely there. And there they spoke of secrets to guard, and legends to protect as they peered into a 'looking glass.' This is the simplest way to refer to it as. But it hovered against normal tendencies… I could barely make out the edges of what appeared to be a prism of some sort.
I'm afraid in the absence of images it might have been difficult to make out at all. Nevertheless, the images were revealing; Their words became like whispers but I could faintly make out a name… "Atamur." The other said, "Don't leave… not now, I can't -"
But before he could finish, the light took the old Wizard piece by piece; all was gone but his stave. Forged by the Green Man, the stave was a relic that could not easily be destroyed – it could not easily be used for destruction either. However, I know this very stave is wanted by many… even now, the Scholars of the Farthers sense it's abandonment.
But I cannot intervene.

They disbanded on August 4, 2013.
Their debut album Suddenly Yours was released in October 2010 and peaked at number 197 on the Billboard 200. In September 2011, Zach, Cameron, and Michael released their second studio album entitled All the Way. All the Way peaked at 49 on the Billboard 200, a considerable improvement from their first album.

2007–2010: Formation and rise to fame[edit]
After meeting in a geology class at Poway High School, Nathan Darmody and Tom Norris began to write music together in the spring of 2007. Darmody's friend Zachary "Zach" Porter later joined their band and the three formed 'Outerspace Politicians' in June 2007. The band wrote and recorded early demos in Darmody's bedroom in the ensuing months using FL Studio. Several completed songs were then posted to the group's Myspace page. This resulted in little attention, although it prompted local drummer Michael Martinez to contact the band and audition to join. In an effort to begin practicing live, Porter recruited friend Cameron Quiseng (pronounced /ˈkiːsɛŋ/). At Darmody's suggestion, Quiseng - whom Porter met in middle school - became bassist, while Porter switched to lead vocals. Shortly before signing with Hollywood Records, Norris left the band to pursue college, and is still credited with writing "Clock Runs Out", "A Different Side Of Me", and "Dance Forever".
The band first rose to fame when they were contestants on Radio Disney's special, Next Big Thing or N.B.T., under their former name, 'ALLSTAR'. Despite being a fan favorite, the band lost, coming second to Jonnie and Brookie. A few months later, the band signed a contract with Hollywood Records- and uploaded the video of them signing on August 29, 2009, to their official YouTube - and immediately began work on their debut EP, Suddenly.
Prior to becoming contestants on Radio Disney's Next Big Thing, they contributed songs (one of which was an early, more synthesized version of "Dance Forever") as part of a digital split album titled Chicken Finger Fingers on Drive-Thru Records with Dino Club. Soon after, they signed with Hollywood Records and released their debut extended play, Suddenly. After signing with Hollywood Records, the band changed their name from ALLSTAR to Allstar Weekend, citing legal issues as the catalyst. The band has said in interviews that they chose to add 'Weekend' because they felt it made a better connection with their fans.
2010–2011: Suddenly Yours and other projects[edit]
On March 13, 2010, the band released their debut single, "A Different Side of Me", for digital download and radio airplay. The song peaked at the top of Radio Disney singles chart.
Allstar Weekend was one of many bands who recorded remakes of popular Disney songs on the compilation album, Disneymania 7, which was released on April 17, 2010. The band recorded their version of "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" from The Lion King. Shortly after the release of their debut single, the band announced their debut EP, Suddenly, would be released on June 17, 2010. They also announced plans to release a second single before the release of the album.
On June 7, 2010, the band released "Dance Forever", the second single from their EP. The music video was released June 12, 2010, and takes place in the backyard of a house where a pool party is being thrown and the band is performing. Porter and Darmody have said that the "Dance Forever" video represents not just one, but all the members of the band's personalities. The song debuted on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart at number 16. It peaked at number 45 on the Canadian Hot 100, making it their first song to chart on a major singles chart.
Suddenly was released on June 22, 2010, in America and on July 20, 2010, in Canada, to generally positive reviews from critics. The album was somewhat successful in its first week (in America), debuting at number 62 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. On August 30, 2010, Allstar Weekend performed "A Different Side of Me" and "The Weekend" on Good Morning America. After the performance, they confirmed that their debut album, Suddenly Yours, would be released on October 19, 2010. The album's lead single, "Come Down with Love", was released on September 17, 2010.
Allstar Weekend's fall tour in 2010 included other acts: Stephen Jerzak, Action Item, and The Scene Aesthetic. The tour started November 4, 2010, in Las Vegas, Nevada and ended in December 17 at The House of Blues on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. In February 2011, they were on the Glamour Kills Tour with The Ready Set.
2011–2012: All the Way and Darmody's departure[edit]
On May 20, 2011, they announced their new album, All the Way, would be released on July 19, but it was moved to September 27, 2011. With a successful first week, All the Way debuted at number 49 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.
"Not Your Birthday" was released as the first single from All the Way on February 25, 2011, premiering that night on Radio Disney. The song was recorded for the soundtrack of Disney's film Prom, and is featured in the film. The single was delayed on being released for purchase, and eventually became available on iTunes on March 22, 2011.
It was announced on June 20, 2011, via the band's Facebook, that Darmody would not be touring with the band on their tour with Selena Gomez & The Scene, due to personal issues. On July 13, Allstar Weekend stated that guitarist Eric Nicolau would be filling in for Darmody on their tour with Selena Gomez & the Scene. On July 25, they announced that their second single from All the Way would be "Blame It on September", which was released on August 16, 2011. Their song "Hey, Princess" was featured in the Disney Channel Original Movie Geek Charming.
On September 17, 2011, it was announced via TwitLonger that Darmody had left the band. The band stated that they would not release the details of his departure, and that they would search for a permanent member to replace him. Since leaving the band, Darmody has continued his career as a solo artist under the title of IWXO (which stands for "I'm With Love").
2012–2013: Record label departure, new records, and split[edit]
On January 8, 2012, the band announced via Stickam their departure from former label Hollywood Records, citing how the label restricted them in what they wanted to do (touring internationally, mature themes in songs, etc.). In August 2012, they confirmed that they had signed a distribution deal with Universal Music Canada.
In March 2012, the band announced that they would release a 5-song extended play on July 3, 2012. The EP features the singles "Wanna Dance With Somebody" (ASW 2012), a cover of Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Life as We Know It" and, later, "The Last Time" remix featuring Kina Grannis. Originally the EP was called Kevin's Place, but its title was changed to The American Dream before its release.
In October 2012, the band began a Kickstarter campaign to fund their next album, which was given the working name Ballin'.[2] On December 3, 2012, the band announced via Twitter that they would be going on a headlining tour in January and February 2013. On January 4, 2013, Allstar Weekend announced they would also be playing at Warped Tour 2013.
On January 18, 2013, Porter, Quiseng, and Martinez announced via Stickam that the band would be taking a 'permanent hiatus' after Warped Tour, citing the gap in musical style between their current and previous material. They stated that they would be starting a new band, along with touring member Brent Schneiders, but would not perform any Allstar Weekend songs under the new project. They played their final show on August 4, 2013, in Houston.
On February 14, 2013, the band released a cover song EP titled Kevin's Place. On it, the band covers "Drops Of Jupiter" by Train, "Thunder Road" by Bruce Springsteen, "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift, "Perfect Situation" by Weezer and "I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis. The cover song EP is available on iTunes only.
On August 1, 2013, they released their own mobile game, available on iOS and Android, titled ASW Restaurant. It costs $1.99 (US) on iOS and was originally also $1.99 (US) on Android, but is now free for Android.
In October 2013, it was revealed that the band was coming out with one more album, stating: "We have decided it would be more appropriate to thank you in an ALLSTAR WEEKEND release. As you may know, we are releasing an album of all unreleased tracks/B-sides. This CD will be out for the holiday season." However, by early January 2014, nothing more had been heard about the supposed new CD. In mid-January 2014, their manager, Stefanie, stated, "Allstar Weekend broke up so anything we release or work on is not our (Allstar Weekend's) priority. But the artwork for the unreleased tracks/B-sides CD is being done now." As of 2015, nothing more of this album has been said, and the album is presumed to be canceled.
2013-present: Post-split[edit]
After the dissolution of Allstar Weekend, Porter, Quiseng, Martinez, and Schneiders formed a new band, The Tragic Thrills. The Kickstarter-funded Allstar Weekend album was released as the new band's self-titled debut in October 2013.
Martinez and Schneiders left the band in April 2014. Quiseng went on an indefinite hiatus in January 2015,[3] and the band now currently consists of Porter, Chris Morrison (lead guitar), Ans Gibson (drums), and live member Gabe Rudner (keyboard).[4]
Guest appearances[edit]
The band guest-starred on Sonny with a Chance in the episode "A So Random Halloween Special" to perform "Come Down with Love" which is also featured on the show's soundtrack. They appeared on Lopez Tonight and Rachel Ray, also performing "Come Down with Love".
On February 26, 2012, they were featured on MTV's 10 on Top. They were the "One to Watch". They talked about their days when they were a garage band compared to their lives now and how they're living the dream. They also talked about their pre-show rituals. On March 19, 2011, they were again in 10 on Top, ranking number 4 due to their new music video "Not Your Birthday". They have also been on MTV's The Seven twice. The second time was on May 13, 2011, and they ranked in at number two.
They performed "Not Your Birthday" live on television for the first time on MuchMusic's New.Music.Live. in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They again performed it on Live with Regis and Kelly on May 30, 2011. On August 7, 2011, Allstar Weekend they were in the 2011 Teen Choice Awards presenting for the dance crew Poreotics. On August 26, 2012, they performed live on Family Channel's Big Ticket Summer Concert.
On September 25, 2011, the band performed live at The Next Star Finale in Toronto, playing "Blame It On September" and "Mr. Wonderful". The following day, they performed "Blame it On September" live on Live with Regis and Kelly. On the release day of All The Way, September 27, they played "Blame It On September", and "Mr. Wonderful" on Good Morning America. On October 30, 2012, they performed live in front of over 18,000 kids at the MTS Centre for WE Day in Manitoba.

Why Should Veterans go Into the STEM Field?
A job in the STEM field guarantees job security and a consistently higher paycheck. Many times, veterans' military career has prepared them for a job in the Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math fields. However, not many veterans (or civilians for that matter) are exploring STEM opportunities at the rate that the STEM industries are growing. This fact led to a 2016 report from The US News & World Report discussing the fact that the US will soon have to rely on foreigners to fill the demand for STEM jobs in the US. (For this reason, we have researched the most military friendly engineering programs out there.)
"Despite significant public and private investment, we are still not developing an American STEM workforce to fill the jobs of the future." –Brian Kelly, editor and chief content officer of U.S. News.
These jobs are hot (& pay well)!
And lastly (and extremely importantly) 3 out of 5 of the highest paying STEM salaries in 2016 were in IT-related fields. Information Systems Managers had a yearly salary of $141,000 in 2016; Computer Research Scientists were paid $115,580; and Computer Hardware Engineers made $114,970. Being that was only a year ago, those numbers are probably still very accurate.
So what better time than now to set yourself up for success?!
GI Bill Extension?
Veterans groups & representatives have even gone so far as to try to get the GI Bill extended for up to 9 months for those GI Bill users who are pursuing STEM degrees. (One thought being that many STEM degree programs are longer because of different mandatory internships throughout the degree program.)
Although it hasn't yet been passed, the effort and energy put behind it is proof that getting veterans into STEM fields is extremely important. Why? Two main reasons: success and fulfillment for the veteran and their family, and prosperity & development in the STEM field through having hardworking and dedicated professionals in those positions. (Win, Win!)
The Most Military Friendly Engineering Programs in the US:
- San Francisco State University
- University of New Haven
- Florida International University
- North Shore Community College
What Makes Them Military Friendly?
So glad you asked… All of the aforementioned programs include the following military assistance programs:
– Basic Allowance for Housing of $2,160 or higher
– A Student Veterans of America chapter
– A Full-time Veteran Counselor
– Signed VA Principles of Excellence
– A Club/Association for Veterans on Campus
– Offer College Credit for Military Experience
– Accept CLEP Exam & DSST Exam Scores
What you can look forward to…
You Can Start Today.
Interested in exploring a degree program at a military friendly school in the STEM field? Research the schools above on CollegeRecon.com where searching for degree programs as a GI Bill user is far easier and removes the headache of sifting through for-profit/predatory schools. Then start conversations with admissions personnel at those schools right on the portal. (No need to give out your personal contact information.) Best of luck!!
