Van de Riet, Keith, (Principal), Advanced fabrication of high-performance passive architectural and landscape systems, University of Kansas, $8,000, Submitted 04/15/2017 (07/01/2017 - 07/01/2019). This New Faculty Research Grant funding will support two specific activities: (1) expanding the applications of the existing robotics laboratory at The School of Architecture, Design and Planning (SADP), and (2) assembling external funding proposals that leverage this technology for research in the area of high-performance passive architectural systems. Passive architectural systems are those materials and geometries that capitalize on natural bioclimatic factors without the need for operational energy input. High-performance versions utilize embedded material and geometry effects to amplify the beneficial returns of passive systems. These architectural envelope and landscape systems may be used to conserve energy or as natural habitats to increase biodiversity in urban areas, the latter of which is often referred to as "Win-Win Ecology." Computer numeric control fabrication techniques can be highly optimized to increase the return on investments of these technologies, and by expanding the use of this technology at SADP make it an attractive for potential students, funding agencies and industrial collaborators. University (KU or KUMC). Status: Funded.

Alexander is having a bad day. A terrible day. A horrible day. To be quite honest, it's a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. But then, everybody has bad days, sometimes. Not only does Alexander wake up with gum in his hair, but his mother forgets to pack him dessert, and his best friend decides he's not his best friend anymore. And if that's not bad enough, Alexander's brothers don't have any cavities but - he does. And just when it can't get any worse, there are lima beans for supper and - yuck!- kissing on the TV. It is enough to make anyone want to go to Australia.

Failure of Industry
June 30, 2008
On Sunday I walked over to Emily Kingan's photo shoot for her Spring 09 collection. She rented a large warehouse space in an underused industrial section of N. Portland- under the freeway overpasses and among small dead-end streets. The area itself was worth a photo shoot- gorgeous weathered paint, large barn like double doors, blackberry bushes swarming under the eaves, and a quiet deserted feel. Quite romantic. Inside the studio Emily and her team – stylist, photographer, and two models- were just getting started. Emily makes gender-less clothing. Her line bridges the space between "male" versus "female" clothing, harmonizing somewhere in the middle. Her debut collection consists of delicate and beautifully crafted button-up shirts in a palette of dirty lime, rose, denim blue, and dusty brown with contrasting detail inside the collar. Her attention to detail and insistence on perfection make these made-to-order shirts truly worth every penny. Plus she is is my studio-mate and an all around awesome person. Contact her at email@example.com
Mascot Missing
June 26, 2008
This is for Bonnie- she might have a lead as to the whereabouts of my mascot – the turquoise blue horse that belonged to my mom. I coveted this little figurine throughout childhood and cherished her once my mom passed her on to me. She always sat on her own little shelf in my studio- and one day, she wasn't there. This was years ago but the search continues…

Please and Thank You
June 23, 2008
"Hi, my name is Dori and I live in Maine on a small island. I had a wedding party to attend to in the past week and as every woman, couldn't find anything to wear in my own closet. I was lucky to have a friend who owns one of your empire style dresses (a yellow dress with black horses design). I never would have thought to wear empire style and yellow dress, but with no doubt that was the most flattering piece that I've ever worn. That's how I've learned about FILLY. Thank you for making me feel beautiful!"
I was wondering how one living out in nowhere can buy your clothes? Is it possible to buy your pieces online?
Thank you."
I get inquiries like this quite often and the answer is YES, anyone can buy directly from me. If you know your Filly size it makes it easier. Just let me know what style you are interested in and I can tell you what colors are available. I send you the dress, you send me a check. Pretty simple. In general Filly dresses and tunics are $175, skirts are $110, and tops are $80. I feel a little crude talking money but I figure, I would want to know this information if I were excited about a line.
Oh, and the image above is from Spring 07. It is currently on sale at Olio United in Portland, OR. http://www.oliounited.com/
Passive Aggression
June 11, 2008
The Fashion Fight Club: A Portland Designer Collective. My dear friend Kenya (sky&boat.com) has started an independent designer's collective with the intention of organizing and supporting each other through shared information, group shows, emotional support, guest lecturers, block trade show rates, and camaraderie. Twice a month we meet for coffee and talk. It is so nice to be able to ask someone else how they go about this fashion thing- and not a teacher or boss but another gal like myself who is just figuring it out through trial and error. We have a blog (yes, another blog.) http://fashionfightclub.blogspot.com- if you are in the Portland area check it to look for upcoming sales and parties. Fun fun.
Fashion Work
June 6, 2008
In studio. Thursday evening. All week I have been waiting for fabric to arrive before I can officially get started designing spring 09. Doing a little in-the-meantime puttering. Everybody else has gone home so Bob Marley is turned way up.
Currently I am collecting on fall and holiday 07, retailing spring 08, manufacturing fall 08, promoting holiday 08, and designing spring 09. Not sure this is what I imagined the life of a fashion designer to be. A lot to keep on track.
Fashion School
June 5, 2008
I lived in the attic of Ruth's old house in Berkeley while I attended fashion school. I loved Berkeley with its great houses and endless neighborhoods to walk through. And I loved this house- mostly the fact that I lived here with two other women and we spent enormous amounts of time drinking wine and talking crudely. Josh, Jeff, Quentin and I made the space livable by putting in a spiral staircase where the 2nd floor hallway closet was. The atic was huge, smelled strongly of wood and had a climate all its own. In the winter it was crisp and refreshing compared to the forced air heating down below. In the summer it baked and I lived without clothes and hated to touch anything. I miss everything about it.
June 2, 2008
Most of my excursions revolve around Bello. Basically getting him out in the world doing fun dog things. This ride was amazing. It is hard to tell but the grass was atleast 8 feet in some places along the path. It was evening by this time and we were just cruising. The bike equivalent of a stroll. He was tired and content to relax and look around. And the smell! Portland in the springtime is a concoction of every possible blooming flower- on trees, shrubs, little creepers, garden plants, wide fields. I have to stop all the time to find the smell on the air.
This time I stopped to pee in the tall grass and a bicyclist my age rode by and looked down on me. "hey" I said with heavy acceptance of my predicament. He laughed out loud with appreciation.

Each of the projections offered simultaneously from their respective boxes, within the set, develops information, nuances, perspectives, suggested worlds, with which the viewer can be rebuilding, rejecting, complementing, recreating a whole adjusted to his best understanding. We have taken as a thematic basis of this complex experience certain historical circumstances that converged in the deep Salamanca of the first third of the twentieth century, until the outbreak of the Civil War. On the one hand, the scenarios of the dilapidated mansion that crowns the pasture of El Cuartón, next to Vitigudino, luxuriously inhabited by the legendary lady Inés Luna Terrero, known as the Baby, heiress of the whole rich family saga, are shown, lover of such unique characters as the dictator Primo de Rivera or the picturesque Gonzalo de Aguilera, count of Alba de Yeltes. And on the other, the lonely terroirs of the town that were to be built by the hard-working renters expelled from the pasture, according to the detailed investigations on this deed of their own family, beautifully articulated in the book Hundreds of the writer Macu Vicente, who has generously collaborated in So risky project. They are not linear stories. Each montage contains a potential for multiple suggestions that interest us more than the story itself.
Making films is also a playful proposal from which to dare to break certainty, to investigate the unknown, to emulate dreams. From cinema we use conventionally to glimpse the invisible that flutters out of the image, perhaps in the subconscious. An aspiration to shape the report, to believe ourselves as makers of worlds. But it is not about telling the story in pictures. We simply try to perform an exhibition essay that is more conducive to interaction, to be more clearly the reflection of that mirror, of those Stendhal mirrors that walk along the path.
This construction is not a fantasy invention, but a look towards that complex actuality that we try to understand. An experience that may need much more training. And there it is, in case others are encouraged to redirect it. The museum spaces open to another slack in communication, they develop in a more oxygenated climate; the showrooms allow another laxity in the staging. It is enlightening to reflect on the stagnation of the old cinematographic spectacle, its rites in relation to the spectacular progress of other fields of artistic nature open to an evolution not constrained by different interests. Freedom in cinema consists in trusting the intelligence and solidarity sensitivity of the viewer; there he, so that he becomes interested or refrains from the game, participates in the proposal, accepts complicity or rejects it. From my relative experience I know that cinema will be so much more rewarding, and not only for the viewer, the more he dares to forget about any canonical prescriptive about what can or should be done. It is a way to contribute satisfactorily and freely to increase the sincerity of work.
I don't know if I'm late for new horizons that I feel splendid. The cinema, better or worse, has allowed itself to survive from a mine that threatens to run out and seems to need renovation. It may not be a matter of economics. I want to continue trusting the collaborating viewer.

Pac Man gameplay video loading, please wait...
- Digital Download
We haven't found any digital download available at this moment.
No classic box available at the moment.
DOS version of the classic arcader
Graphically, this Pac Man clone is a rather poor depiction of the original. The grid lines of the maze are rather thin and not that great looking, the ghosts also look rather poorly. But, heck, this game made its way onto the DOS platform at the very beginning of the 80s, which by itself is a rather big accomplishment, given that at the time most of the productions were text based adventures. Gameplay wise, I'm not precisely sure whether the game is 100 percent running the code of the original, but the ghosts seem to be inclined to share the same behavior within them, while in the original, they were designed with different AI characteristics. Oh, well, if you're not too concerned about this game feeling and behaving exactly like the original this won't bother you. Quite on the contrary, it might be a plus for it, since it can give you a novel experience, in the same microcosm of the original. So, ultimately, you will want to try this one out just for the fun of the original gameplay with the twist that the original mechanics of the ghosts patterns are slightly different.
A legend, no word for this arcade
This game is a legend. You should play it again and enjoy still the simple and funny mechanism of the game. Fall into the labyrinth and collect the diamond items along your way. A lot of ghosts are going to make your life difficult, but when they enter in panic mode, well, you can eat 'em all! Really a classic game, take the opportunity and download.

It likely is an odd thing to confess, not having 100% grasp on some characters. But there has been a few times in the comic where the characters have ended up surprising me with an action that I didn't initially expect but just as it played out it made a lot of sense and felt natural for them to go that direction.
In my experiences. Some folks figure themselves out pretty quick, where as others it ends up being this frustrating adventure of trying on different labels…finding they don't quite fit…then feeling guilty that they probably appear as if they're being fickle, fake, or indecisive. As such, part of why I feel things like Pride are important to bolster folks feeling like it is okay to take the time and figure themselves out in a non-judgmental environment.
Because in my experience also a lot of times for some folks it is simply a matter of "Oh. I didn't even realize that there was a word for how I felt." because for the longest time they lived in a world of only a small set of options available and didn't quite fit. Only to discover that all this time there was a term for how they felt all this time.
At the end of the day, Jyrras is definitely not straight. But…I guess when he figures it out he'll likely let me know. He better. >:U


text: Bode and Mack (Heartbreak and Roses, 1994, etc.) have come up with a real eye-opener. Incarcerated teens who have committed serious crimes, their victims, and the counselors or other adults who work with them tell their stories without sugarcoating. Whether by intent or accident, two things stand out in the book: Most of the teens were victims of adults who did drugs and alcohol, who prostituted themselves to maintain their habits, who abused their offspring physically, emotionally, or sexually, or simply neglected them; second, the teenagers' accounts are characterized by a certain anomie that makes them all the more chilling. The boy who killed his mother when he was 13 says, ``I'm not even sure why I did it,'' and then lists all the little things that resulted in the murder. In these pages are juveniles who killed siblings, tortured best friends, joined gangs, attempted suicide, robbed, and raped; their stories are brutal but also sad. Bode says the book is a ``wake-up call''; it is not for the fainthearted, but it should be available to all those in similar situations--whether perpetrators or victims. One teenager states it best: ``I don't want other kids to have to go through this. That's why I'm talking to you.'' Mack's harrowing black-and-white cartoons sound a wake-up call of their own. (Nonfiction. 12+)

Panakarkandu paal (Palm sugar candy milk) is used as a home remedy for cold and cough. Usually it's boiled with turmeric powder and pepper. A year back a friend of mine introduced me to a ready-made mix of palm sugar candy milk. My son who doesn't drink milk started to like its taste. Whenever I try something new he asks for its name, ingredients and after his initial inquiry is over he decides whether to taste it. So when he asked about this milk I told him its vanilla milkshake, if only I had told its panakarkandu paal he would have ran a mile… lol. Seeing the pack's ingredients it was very easy to give a try; so when I got hold of a good batch of panakarkandu, I tried it out for myself and it was very good. This recipe has a mild pepper flavor… just right for my five-year old. If it's going to be for adults you can add some extra pepper and dry ginger. This mix is very handy; just mix it with some hot milk whenever needed.
Panakarkandu (Palm sugar candy) – 1 cup
Pepper – 1 tablespoon
Dry ginger (sukku) – 1 inch piece
Cardamom – 6
- Crush the panakarkandu and dry ginger to small pieces before adding it to the mixer.
- Add the pepper, cardamom and the crushed dry ginger to a mixer and pulse it once. Now add the crushed panakarkandu to it and grind it to make a powder. Store in an airtight container.
- To make the panakarkandu milk, just add 2 teaspoons of the mix to 150 ml of hot milk, mix well, strain it and serve.
- This powder can also be boiled with milk and a ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder for 3 to 4 mins.
- Add extra pepper for a strong flavour.

|Mental Health Partners, PA
The doctors at Mental Health Partners realize that it is often very difficult to get an appointment with a psychiatrist in the Kansas City area in a timely manner. We want to help as many patients as we can possibly help. In order to avoid giving incorrect information about the potential wait for an appointment, we typically keep a waiting list and call patients in the order that they have been placed on the list when new appointments actually become available. While times vary extensively depending on the situation, it is typically taking more than 2-3 months from the time a patient requests to see one of our doctors until they are able to be seen. If you cannot wait for one of our doctors to become available, please feel free to look into our "Crisis Information" page under the "Patient Information" tab at the top of this page for some other potential resources.
Doctors at Mental Health Partners have been providing psychiatric care to Kansas City area patients for over four decades. Inpatient (hospital) care was part of the practice up until 2001. The doctors now specialize solely in outpatient psychiatry and see patients of all ages.
Warren G. Phillips, M.D. founded the practice in 1967 along with G. R. Wurster, M.D. after finishing their psychiatric residency training at The University of Kansas Medical Center ("KU Med").
G. R. Wurster, M.D. continued in the practice as Senior Partner until he retired March 1, 2016. John L'Ecuyer, M.D. joined the practice in 1993 after finishing his psychiatric residency training at KU Med. Judy K. Martin, M.D. and Richard R. Brewington, M.D.--both graduates of KU Med's psychiatry residency as well--joined the practice in 2008. And Zachary Hugo, M.D. joined the practice in 2012 after finishing his psychiatry residency training at the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN).
A guiding principle uniting all of the doctors practicing at Mental Health Partners is a focus on listening carefully to each patient. This involves spending more time with each patient. Follow-up appointments are typically 25 to 45 minutes in length, according to each patient's needs and preference.
The practice has been located in Prairie Village since it was founded and has been in its current location since 1992.

She is a fire in his blood.
Former tennis champion Roman "Lion" Spenser is back in town and hellbent on making amends with the woman he wronged years ago. His upcoming charity event will give him the media boost he needs to polish his tainted reputation. But he suddenly has his hands full when his widowed mother begins to behave oddly. The only person he can turn to for help is the one woman he shattered years ago.
As a co-owner of a senior concierge service, Piper Chandler is a bleeding heart nurturer. She's never been known to turn away a senior citizen in need, but she balks when the man who broke her heart suddenly comes into her life seeking her help. Unable to resist the gorgeous, sexy "Roman Lion," Piper finds herself growing closer to him--and his mother all over again. But as strange events occur, Piper realizes that something is amiss. Someone is out to sabotage Roman's event, and Piper is determined to uncover the truth.
As passion ignites between them, can the Roman convince Piper to put the painful past behind her for a second chance with the one man she's always loved?
Sometimes the lion's cage needs to be rattled...

Barn-find E-Type stars in Imperial War Museum auction
Another classic car auction, another barn-find, this time in the form of a 1964 Jaguar E-Type. It's the star lot at the H&H Classics sale, which takes place at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford, on the 12th October 2016. Read on to discover more about the E-Type and 30 of our favourite lots.
Jaguar E-Type: £35,000 – £45,000
It's amazing to think that, even today, cars like this are waiting to be discovered in barns and garages up and down the land. This 1964 Jaguar E-Type has been left unused since the 1970s and is offered from a deceased estate. H&H Classics has put a pre-auction estimate of up to £45,000 for this sorry looking Jag, but it will cost considerably more than that to restore it to its former glory.
Jaguar XK150 SE: £135,000 – £165,000
You could buy a 'barn-find' E-Type and restore it, or you could spend a similar amount on this gorgeous Jaguar XK150. Damian Jones of H&H said: "It is the nicest example we have encountered and uprated with a four-speed manual plus overdrive gearbox." It has covered around 200 miles since being restored by XK Engineering.
Enfield 8000: no reserve
And now for something completely different. You might remember Jonny Smith setting a new record for the fastest road-legal EV car in the world. He was at the wheel of a heavily modified Enfield 8000, pumping out some 800hp. If you fancy your chances of following in the tyre smoke of 'Carpervert', this 1975 electric car could be for you. A total of 120 were built and this one was purchased new by the Electricity Council.
Jaguar E-Type 3.8 Roadster: £110,000 – £130,000
Fancy an unregistered E-Type Roadster? This 1962 car was delivered new in New York and remained in the same ownership until 1989. Recently, it returned home to the UK, at which point a restoration to a "high standard" was completed. According to H&H, a UK registration document can now be sourced, meaning the winning bidder will be the first UK owner.
Mercedes-Benz 250 SL: £30,000 – £40,000
Pound for pound, this might be one of the best cars on sale in the H&H auction. This 1967 Mercedes-Benz 250 SL was sold new in Germany, but recently imported from Japan. Being right-hand drive would suggest an original owner in the armed forces, while a hardtop and third rear seat means it almost practical. Pretty car.
Porsche 911 Turbo: £50,000 – £60,000
There are many 911s on offer at the Duxford auction, but this is arguably the most appealing. It was delivered new in California and has covered just 42,104 miles since 1989. The combination of a 3.3-litre flat-six engine and a four-speed manual gearbox make this Baltic Blue 930 Turbo a tantalising prospect.
Jensen Interceptor: £75,000 – £90,000
This 1974 Jensen Interceptor is being auctioned to "make way for the impending arrival of an Aston Martin". Well, if you're going to sell an icon of the 1970s, you need to ensure you're replacing it with something good. Being a convertible means you can enjoy the glorious soundtrack of the V8 engine rumbling away beneath that long bonnet.
Ferrari Mondial 8: £24,000 – £28,000
Proof that it's still possible to buy a Ferrari for the price of a top-spec Ford Mondeo, this 1983 Mondial 8 is so appealing. At its launch in 1980, the Mondial 8 was criticised for its styling, weight and lacklustre performance, but time has been kind to the eight-cylinder Fezza. In fact, the restrained styling is central to its appeal.
Austin-Healey 3000: £45,000 – £55,00
One of Britain's most iconic sports cars, the Austin-Healey 3000 arrived in 1959 and remained on sale for nearly a decade. According to H&H, this very car was used in a full page advertisement in 'The Motor' magazine, October 1963. Yours for a pre-auction estimate upwards of £45,000.
Iso Lele Sport: £28,000 – £32,000
While the likes of the E-Type and 911 are an all-too familiar sight on the auction circuit, the Iso Lele is incredibly rare. According to the Iso and Bizzarrini Owners' Club, this is one of 12 right-hand drive Sport models and features styling by Marcello Gandini and power from a Ford 5.7-litre V8 engine. Where do we sign?
Bentley S3 Continental Mulliner Park Wark: £140,000 – £160,000
The S3 Continental was sold to coachbuilt special order only, with Mulliner Park Ward responsible for creating this majestic beast. The styling was handled by freelance stylist Vilhelm Koren, who used a straight-through wing line and cut-back wheelarches, pioneered on the S2 Continental. Its 6.2-litre V8 engine is able to propel the big Bentley to a top speed of 120mph.
Ferrari F355: £45,000 – £55,000
Jeremy Clarkson enjoyed reviewing the Ferrari F355 so much, he went ahead and ordered one from the factory. This particular example was sold new in Japan and arrived in the UK in April 2015. It's fitted with a F1 transmission and – according to H&H – offers "wind in the hair 180mph motoring!" Well, Clarkson did have big hair, back in the day.
Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II: £60,000 – £70,000
Earlier this year a Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution II sold for a record £292,500 at an auction in Stoneleigh. OK, it may have had a mere 1,723 miles on the clock, but the final price was still double the pre-auction estimate. This example isn't expected to fetch anything like that price, but £60,000 – £70,000 is a punchy estimate for a 45,000-mile car.
Ferrari Mondial T: £40,000 – £50,000
By the time the T arrived in 1989, the Mondial had developed into a car more befitting the Ferrari badge. The V8 engine was now mounted longitudinally, the electronic injection was changed and the capacity boosted from 3.2 to 3.4-litre. The T stood for transverse gearbox, which echoed the layout of Ferrari's F1 cars.
Citroen 2CV Fourgonette: £9,000 – £11,000
If you're about to start a business called 'Gibraltar Confectionery', this 2CV Fourgonette is for you. It was sold new in Spain back in 1972, but was purchased by Mr Shacaluga of Gibraltar to promote his confectionery business. Note the Citroen GS wheel trims and bespoke stainless steel bumpers.
Lotus GS Europa Twin Cam: £15,000 – £18,000
This is a Lotus Europa with a difference. It's the result of a collaboration between a Bristol-based Lotus dealer and William Towns, and given the approval of Colin Chapman. The Lotus Europa might have been a product of the 1960s, but the GS Europa was as 1970s as flares and Showaddywaddy.
Aston Martin 1.5 Litre: £110,000 – £150,000
This Aston Martin 1.5 Litre International Short Chassis Tourer stems from a period in time when people actually used their supercars. Within a year of registration, this 1930 car returned to Aston Martin for an engine overhaul, having covered some 18,000 miles. Nicely run-in, then?
Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet: £55,000 – £65,000
As if to make our point about cars being used, this 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet has travelled just 25,000 miles in its entire life. According to the auctioneers, it represents "the perfect acquisition in readiness for summer 2017." Assuming you can wait that long…
Ferrari 308 GTS QV: £45,000 – £55,000
First came the 308 GTB in 1975, which was followed by the GTS in 1977. Fuel injection arrived in 1980, but the resultant loss of power led to the debut of the four valves per cylinder QV in 1982. This auction car is the best of the breed and has covered just 24,000 miles since 1984.
MG N-Type Magnette: £70,000 – £80,000
This MG N-Type Magnette was delivered new to renowned MG driver Ken Crawford, who bought it with racing in mind. Note the apple green interior.
Porsche 911 S: £50,000 – £60,000
There are many Porsche 911 models on offer at the Imperial War Museum sale, but this is our favourite. Introduced in 1966, the 911 S featured a more powerful version of the air-cooled flat-six engine and only 35 were supplied to the UK. It's listed as a "stalled project in need of completion", meaning the successful bidder will be able to put their own stamp on this 60s racer.
Ferrari 250 GTO Evocation: £26,000 – £30,000
This is your chance to own a Ferrari 250 GTO for a fraction of the price. Underneath this Evocation you'll find a 1990 Porsche 944 S2, although it is listed by the DVLA as a Ferrari 250 Replica. If you want the real thing you might need to add a few extra noughts to the pre-auction estimate.
Ford Thunderbird: £12,000 – £15,000
This or a new Ford Fiesta? It's a 1958 Ford Thunderbird powered by a 5.7-litre V8 engine and treated to a number of cosmetic improvements. Having spent the majority of its life in California and Spain, you can rest easy knowing it should be structurally sound. It's hard to buy more presence for £15,000.
Bentley 3/4.5 Litre Tourer: £250,000 – £300,000
Whisky galore! In 1924, this Bentley 3/4.5 Litre was delivered new to Archibald J Ballantine of the famous whisky distillery. Its whereabouts between 1932 and 1998 was unknown, until the car was rediscovered. It was then exported to Australia, but returned to the UK in 2015.
Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport: £50,000 – £60,000
This 1989 911 Carrera 3.2 Sport boasts the Sport Equipment Package, shortened gear lever, air conditioning, Velvet Red leather upholstery, graduated top tinted windscreen, ultrasonic alarm and heated front seats. It also features its original Blaupunkt radio cassette player. Time to dig out your Now 16 cassette?
Aston Martin DB7 V12 GTA: £50,000 – £60,000
This is reportedly one of four GTAs finished in Metallic Green and it has covered just 23,227 miles since new in 2003. It's powered by a 6.0-litre V12 engine and offers a limited top speed of 165mph.
Pulse Grand Cruising Recreational Vehicle: £15,000 – £20,000
Chocks away – here's your chance to own a Red Arrows for the road (of sorts). It's a 1986 Pulse 'Jet Fighter' style Autocycle, one of 360 built between 1984 and 1990. It's a direct development of the Litestar, which was marketed as 'The Vehicle of Tomorrow: 100mpg and 140mph'. Eat your heart out, plug-in hybrid.
Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Coupe: £30,000 – £35,000
So much class for £35,000. This 1965 Mercedes-Benz 220 SEB Coupe is powered by a 5.0-litre V8 engine and gearbox sourced from an SEC, having been modified by Andrew Brodie Engineering. A previous owner claimed it would cruise at 100mph at just 3,000rpm. Hashtag cruising.
Porsche 911 GT2 Clubsport: £95,000 – £115,000
In 2001, this Porsche 911 GT2 Clubsport cost £131,710. Fifteen years on, we wouldn't be surprised to see it fetch more than at auction, not least because it's a one-owner car with just 55,000 miles on the clock. It was also treated to a number of desirable optional extras, including bucket seats, carbon pack and special paint. The sales invoice ran to two pages.
Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet B: £100,000 – £120,000
We conclude this auction preview with a 1951 Mercedes-Benz 170 S Cabriolet B. Remember, the H&H Classics sale takes place at the Imperial War Museum on the 12th October 2016.

Jobvite's 2014 Social Recruiting Survey: Findings, Comparisons and Predictions from a Practitioner Perspective
Lockheed Martin Corporation
The 2014 Jobvite Social Recruiting Survey delves into the various tools and practices recruiters utilize to target quality talent. Findings reveal that, much like marketers, recruiters showcase their employer brand and engage with candidates across many platforms.
The Proof is in the Interview: Qualifying Candidate Job Skills
Adcap Network Systems
Candidates are always going to put their best foot forward when interviewing for a prospective job they are interested in. Their resumes will always be (should be) written comprehensively.
Using Market Data to Drive Talent Strategy
In this presentation, Rob Sentz will describe how different companies are using external workforce analytics and labor data to develop, improve, and defend their recruiting strategies.

What's Next in the Evolution of Recruitment and How to Stay One-Step Ahead
Potomac Family Dining Group.
Technology is changing rapidly, and hiring has become more and more competitive. To be an employer of choice, recruitment can no longer be viewed as the support function that fills vacant positions. Recruitment must be a strategic business partner, able to match business and recruitment goals to each other and articulate the impact not reaching them creates.
How Big is Your Personal Branding Social Footprint and How Does it Affect Your Employer Brand?
It's clear that the paradigm shift between social media as a means to catch up with buddies to a resume list companies pull from is moving fast – scary fast! But before you start folding your resume into paper airplanes just yet, there is a way to stay ahead of the curve and actually land a great gig.

At the end of each summer, we're faced with the same problem: How do we use up all of our herbs before they freeze over? Mojitos, Smashes and Mint Juleps are a great way to incorporate them into drinks, but you can only use the herbs for those drinks once. This year, we went another route to extend the shelf life of our favorite herbaceous ingredients: making herb-infused simple syrups.
Some may balk at the idea of homemade syrups, but we promise they're truly easy. To prove it, we created three recipes that even the most craft-challenged cocktail enthusiast can master:
All you've got to do is dissolve half a cup of sugar in an equal amount of hot water. Easy enough, right? Then add fresh herbs and let them steep. (Directions vary a bit depending on which herb you use). Strain, cover and keep in the fridge for up to two weeks—or keep them longer by adding a couple teaspoons of vodka.
See? It's super simple.
Now, the trick is actually using the syrup before it goes…funky. You can substitute any of the three flavors for traditional simple syrup in classic cocktails, including the Tom Collins, Mojito and even sour cocktails like the Daiquiri or Gimlet. But we also wanted a few drinks that would really capture each syrup's lively qualities. We asked DrinkWire contributors Beautiful Booze and FoodieTails to create a special drink for each of the herbal concoctions.
Love rum, spice and everything nice? Beautiful Booze's Asian Rum Moscow Mule packs a punch, but is expertly balanced with a touch of Basil Simple Syrup. Or if you're in the mood for a straight-up refreshing elixir, mix up her Minty Paloma, which adds just a touch of the mint variation to the tequila-spiked drink.
And, while admittedly "leery" of using tarragon as it can sometimes "be a little too strong," FoodieTails' G&T (Grapefruit & Tarragon) combines the tarragon syrup with vodka, grapefruit and lime juice, Peychaud's Bitters and Prosecco.
Take the cue and make your own herbal syrups. It's like uprooting a little garden into your glass.
Check out all of Beautiful Booze's and FoodieTails' recipes using our herbal simple syrups on DrinkWire.

Rossvale continued their build up to the new season with a 1-1 draw against Ashfield at the Peugeot Ashfield Stadium on Saturday.
The home side took the lead with a goal two minutes from half-time.
But Rossvale battled back and a goal seven minutes from time from Liam McGonigle. a summer signing from Johnstone Burgh, earned them, a draw.
The match was the fourth pre-season game so far for a Rossvale side who have brought in a number of new recruits over the summer.
As well as McGonigle, Vale have also signed Petershill duo Peter Bradley and Stephen McGladrigan, Gary Griffin from Blantyre Vics, Lee Cryans from Croftfoot Victoria and ex-Vale man Jamie Hunter from Rutherglen Glencairn.
Heading in the other direction, Steven Tart has joined Arthurlie, Craig Holmes has gone to Lowland League side Cumbernauld Colts and Chris Dolan has switched to Royal Albert while Sean Doherty has also left due to work commitments.
They opened with a 1-0 win over Royal Albert in their first match at their new Huntershill home on July 15, Steven Seaton getting the winner three minutes from time.
Rossvale then enjoyed a comnfortable 8-0 victory over Pollok 21s, again at Huntershill, last Monday. Goals by Cryans and McGladrigan put them two up at the break and both scored again early in the second half.
McGonigle and Kirk Forbes increased the tally to six before a late double from Park.

Next up for Rossvale is a match with Bellshill Athletic at Huntershill on Wednesday before their final pre-season outingh at home to Kilwinning Rangers on Saturday.

. According to an interview the website conducted with developer Dontnod's co-founder Oskar Guilbert, the game wasn't always a multi-platform affair and was, at one time, in development only for PlayStation 3 under the direction of Sony itself."Sony wanted to focus on a different type of game and we don't really fit with that," Guilbert explained. "But we're in a very good relationship with them. They stopped a number of games last year at Sony and we took back the IP rights and were able to continue to develop it thanks to the support of the investors. We were then able to sign the game to a publisher who's [sic] portfolio is a better fit for the game."The game was known as Adrift when under development for Sony, but Capcom has since acquired the rights of the game directly from Dontnod once Sony abandoned the project.

Remember Me PC$14.99on Amazon
This is an interesting development for Sony in particular, which prides itself on exclusive content for its platforms, even if those games occasionally come from outside of its extensive first and second party developer ecosystem. The company still introduced a number of exclusives for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita at Gamescom this year, including the likes of Media Molecule's Tearaway, Guerilla Games' Killzone: Mercenary and Studio Japan's Rain and Puppeteer, and it's fascinating to think that if things went a little differently, there may have been one more.

Fallkniven Ceramic C10 sharpener
We have tested it very carefully and found that it brings a tremendously good edge, especially on high quality chef's knives. What's good as well is that it has anti-break and shock-absorbing qualities – should you drop it to the floor from a kitchen table, it will most likely not break! Still the surface hardness is as high as 9 on the Mohs scale, only the diamond reach 10.
Together with the D12 diamond sharpening steel, this is by far the best solution to offer to quality-minded users, professionals or amateurs.
Blade length 270 mm (10.6")

Not sure how many of you have read some emails and posts promoting supposed "words from God" that are giving out warnings that God is going to put forth judgments on people who don't vote for life…They are saying that God is giving a mandate to vote…Let me tell you something these words have mixtures in them. During times of elections everyone gets very strong opinions…So much that these opinions seep into these "words from God" to override what God is really saying…its a manipulation tactic to get people to vote out of an ungodly fear…God is not going to cast judgments on people for not voting…Voting would be considered to be grouped with 1 Cor 8-10 about things that have to do with personal convictions or obeying your conscience. The bible talks about serving God with clear conscience and having a good conscience.
1 Tim 1:5 But the goal of our instruction is love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
1 Tim 1:19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.
1 Tim 3:9 {but} holding to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience.
2 Tim 1:3 I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,
There are no commands in the bible that specifically tell us to vote or not to vote. So every believer is free to follow the conviction of their conscience in such a thing. If God has revealed to you some scriptural reasons for not voting then by all means obey God. Likewise if the Spirit of God instructs you to vote for a specific purpose then that one should obey God. But neither are condemned when they do it unto the glory of God. But in all you do please pray first and wait on the Lord to direct you.
Matt 6:33 "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Phil 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.
(Amp) Col 3:15 And let the peace (soul harmony which comes) from Christ rule (act as umpire continually) in your hearts [deciding and settling with finality all questions that arise in your minds, in that peaceful state] to which as [members of Christ's] one body you were also called [to live]. And be thankful (appreciative), [giving praise to God always].
Remember David said unto Goliath…
1 Sam 17:45 Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.
1 Sam 17:46 "This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel,
1 Sam 17:47 and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD'S and He will give you into our hands."
And the scriptures say
2 Cor 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,
2 Cor 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

Chamber Hopes Casino Busts
"The whole issue of the Gun Lake casino is under review," said Elizabeth Boyd, a spokeswoman for the governor.
"I have not been given a timetable," added Boyd about how long a review might take.
"Our focus, quite frankly, has been on developing the budget and that is being given top priority because we have a $1.7 billion budget deficit, and that is where her energy is being spent."
Boyd said Granholm was aware of the situation and that she would address the issue in the near future. The Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce, however, chimed in on the matter last week by unveiling the Community Partnership for Economic Growth (CPEG) – a coalition that strongly opposes the casino proposal.
Citing an analysis done by the Anderson Economic Group, a public policy and economic consulting firm in Lansing, CPEG emphatically said an Allegan County casino would be bad for businesses, taxpayers and communities in West Michigan.
"The No. 1 concern of CPEG is the state has no policy framework at all to evaluate and consider casino proposals," said Chamber President John Brown.
"Really what we have been advocating is that the state take each casino proposal and analyze it, and that is now what we have done," he added.
Brown said the AEG analysis clearly shows that the state has the right to decide if casinos should be located in the state and where these businesses can locate. The report also calls for Lansing officials to do a complete economic review of every casino proposal they receive.
"And the casino should be a net-positive for the region and for the state," said Brown.
"Otherwise there's no compelling reason to transfer a significant economic activity from the established economy to the casino economy."
CPEG feels the analysis done by the Gun Lake tribe is flawed, and that the proposed casino would siphon money from existing businesses and not pay its fair share of taxes to Lansing.
The 165-member tribe said its casino would create 4,300 jobs and have $169.7 million in revenue annually. The AEG analysis claimed that $92.1 million of that total revenue would come from other industries under one competitive-casino scenario, and $42.4 million under another.
State lawmakers in both Republican-controlled chambers approved a resolution in December that encouraged Gov. John Engler to sign a casino compact with the Gun Lake tribe. But Engler refused to sign it before he left office, citing his close connections to a trio of Mount Pleasant businessmen who reportedly have an interest in the casino as why, and left the compact for Granholm to deal with.
Brown told the Business Journal that he did not speak about the proposed casino with Granholm when the governor was the featured speaker at the chamber's annual meeting a few weeks ago. But he did say that Granholm wouldn't sign the Gun Lake compact without first hearing from CPEG.
"We have communicated with the governor's office and they have provided assurances that she will not sign the compact unless and until we have an opportunity to make our case, and we have shared with them the fact that we think the policy framework is badly needed here," said Brown.
The Bureau of Indian Affairs is expected to decide in May whether the property the tribe has chosen for its casino, the former Ampro Industries site, can be placed in a trust. If the bureau does say yes to that, some say the Gun Lake band can open a Class II casino without a state compact.
A Class II casino license, however, doesn't allow for the most profitable games such as slots, craps and blackjack that are permitted under a Class III license. CPEG sent its analysis to the bureau.
Critics of the CPEG campaign have claimed that the group's opposition to the casino amounts to practicing a protectionist-type of economics within a free-market system. Brown strongly disagrees with that claim.
"That's an ironic argument because what they're seeking is a state-sanctioned monopoly that would then operate to the disadvantage of surrounding businesses," said Brown.

Boehner turns down Vatican trip
House Speaker John Boehner is turning down a trip to Vatican City with Vice President Joe Biden so he can attend to congressional issues in D.C.
Boehner, who is Catholic, got the invite to Pope Francis's swearing in on Wednesday, after President Barack Obama visited the Capitol.
"I am grateful for the invitation to attend the papal investiture in Rome with Vice President Biden, and would like to be able to join the trip," Boehner said in a statement to POLITICO. "Unfortunately, my duties in the House next week - including hosting President Obama and the Prime Minister of Ireland at the Capitol on Tuesday, and the debate on the budget - make that impossible. I wish the Vice President all the best in his journey, and hope he communicates the prayers and warm regards of every American, especially Catholics, to the first pope from the Americas."
Obama will be at the Capitol next Tuesday for the annual St. Patrick's Day lunch.

Our Story
The extraordinary life of Pope St. John Paul II inspired us to create St. John Paul II Life Center. When Pope St. John Paul II completed his journey on Earth, Co-Founder and Board President Tim Von Dohlen reflected on a specific quote of the late pontiff: "America you are beautiful . . . and blessed . . . . The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being, but especially the weakest and most defenseless." Tim was inspired.
Building a Culture of Life Within days of the pope's burial, Von Dohlen and a group of Pro-Life Austin leaders rose to that challenge. After about a year, Von Dohlen and his wife Pat partnered with friends Chris and Sheri Danze to create the framework for The St. John Paul II Life Center. Their vision was unique to Central Texas: create a respected, Pro-Life medical clinic, provide assistance and state-of-the-art sonograms for women facing unexpected pregnancies, conduct widespread outreach on chaste living for young people, and education in the science of Natural Family Planning (NFP) for married couples.
It would take five years of hard work, and the prayers and support of many, to realize their vision. St. John Paul II Life Center opened on October 12, 2010, with full tax-exempt status and a passion for building a Culture of Life in Texas.
Medical Director of the Vitae Clinic Dr. Jeremy Kalamarides & wife Heather a Certified Creighton Model FertilityCare™ Practitioner (left) and Pat Von Dohlen one of our founders (right) visit with US Congressman Jeff & Celeste Fortenberry (center) at the Dignity in Life Recipients at our 2017 Gala.
In God's Time
Despite many hardships and disappointments along the way, Von Dohlen says a growing community of supporters persevered to make St. John Paul II Life Center a reality.
"Each of our challenges took many hours to understand and solve," Von Dohlen said. "Most of all it took perseverance and faith that God would see us through if we but trusted in Him."
"When God gives us a vision . . .He doesn't show us the whole picture up front," Von Dohlen said. "He does it in stages so we won't get overwhelmed. And He does it on His time, not ours."
Our Mission:
The mission of St. John Paul II Life Center is to provide natural integrated OB-GYN healthcare, FertilityCare, and pregnancy help services for all women while honoring life.
Our Vision:
The vision of St. John Paul II Life Center is to:
- Successfully operate a Pro-Life medical clinic that provides wellness, prenatal, delivery, and postnatal care for women, expectant mothers and babies.
- Foster the establishment of other Pro-Life entities.
- Help build a Culture of Life. "America, your very future as a nation depends on your willingness to protect the Right to Life of the most defenseless in your society." Pope St. John Paul II.
- Encourage prayer for those threatened or hurt by abortion.
Our Goals:
- To operate and manage a medical clinic directed by a physician OB-GYN, trained in NaProTECHNOLOGY, as the medical director which offers medical care in conformity with Catholic teachings.
- To offer crisis pregnancy assistance for women in need.
- To operate a pregnancy resource center which serves both the patients of the medical clinic and women in crisis pregnancies.
- To facilitate or offer education for married couples on Natural Family Planning including the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System, Sympto-Thermal Method, and the Billing's Ovulation Method.
- To create a loving and respectful environment that supports and enhances the dignity of the woman and her child(ren) including a chapel or meditation room available for patients, employees and visitors.
- To assure that all employees and volunteers understand the center's vision, mission and goals. (Each said person will be asked to sign a statement expressing that understanding and agreement to follow the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services.)
- To arrange for prominent speakers as a means of educating and enlightening men and women.

Center Director
JAMES N. ROEMMICH, Ph.D.
Dr. Roemmich is a native of Jamestown N.D. and earned his B.A. degree in Biology from Jamestown College in 1986. Dr. Roemmich completed a M.S. degree (Exercise Physiology, Biology) in 1988 at Ball State University and a Ph.D. degree (Exercise Physiology) in 1994 at Kent State University. That year he was accepted into a 3-year post-doctoral research fellowship (Pediatric Endocrinology, Exercise Physiology) at the University of Virginia 1995-1996. From 1997-2000, he was a Research Associate and Assistant Professor of Research in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Virginia. Throughout his training he studied how physical activity and nutrition affect the maturation, growth and body composition of youth. In 2000, Dr. Roemmich joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor at the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. He was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 2006. In 2011, he joined the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center in the role of Research Leader. He was appointed as Center Director in 2016.
Dr. Roemmich's programs of research focus on the prevention and treatment of obesity, including basic laboratory and community studies of mechanisms to increase physical activity and healthy eating, field studies of the influence of park environments and other built environment features on physical activity and adiposity, and behavioral phenotyping of adiposity-discordant sibling pair responses to obesogenic experiences to understand which experiences are not shared within discordant sibling pairs and therefore potentially contributing to their differences in adiposity. He also conducts basic and field research on the effect of psychological stress on weight control behaviors and the cardiovascular health of youth and how exercise acts to dampen psychological stress. He has received numerous grants to conduct research and has published over 140 peer-reviewed papers and book chapters.
Discovered that fat depots contribute unequally to leptin secretion and have unequal effects on growth hormone secretion during puberty. Demonstrated that fat distribution has major influences on the signals involved in controlling weight status and puberty.
First to show that fidgeting and other non-exercise, sleep and daytime activities protect children against excess weight gain.
Discovered that behavioral engineering can be used to reduce children's TV watching, increase their physical activity, and improve their body composition.
First to demonstrate psychological stress increased children's snacking behavior, especially those children with greater dietary restraint
Discovered that psychological stress shifts children's food choices toward more energy dense comfort foods and that obese children are more likely to make this shift in food choice.
First to demonstrate that children are less willing to be physically active, more willing to watch television, and expend less energy after incurring psychological stress.
Discovered that the cardiovascular reactivity to stress is associated with the antecedents of cardiovascular disease early in life.
Discovered that a brief bout of exercise dampens psychological and cardiovascular stress reactivity to be cardio-protective in children.
Demonstrated that youth physical activity and adiposity depends on access to parks and open spaces.
First to demonstrate that the moderate to vigorous physical activity and resistance training behavior of adults is more dependent on the reinforcing value than the liking of these behaviors.
First to demonstrate that those adults who meet guidelines for engaging in moderate to vigorous physical activity and resistance training behavior find exercise more reinforcing.
