U.S. News & World Report Ranks Bentley #4 Among the Top Regional Universities-North
In the most recent U.S. News & World Report rankings of America's Best Colleges 2014, Bentley University is ranked #4 among "Best Regional Universities - North." Bentley is also ranked #47 among the Top 50 "Best Business Programs" in the country. These two ranking categories are based on results from peer assessment surveys.
In the business specialties category, also based on results from peer assessment surveys, Bentley's Accounting program ranked #24 nationally and #2 in New England.
Among the top Regional Universities-North, Bentley was also ranked:
· #2 Highest Freshman Retention Rate
The average proportion of freshmen who entered the school in the fall of 2008 through fall 2011 and returned the following fall
· # 6 Best Value
The formula is based on the relationship of the school's academic quality and the net cost of attendance for a student who receives the average level of need-based financial aid
Each year, U.S. News surveys more than 1,300 colleges and universities and ranks them according to their own methodology. The rankings are based on several key measures of quality including the results of peer assessment surveys completed by academic leaders and administrators (22.5%), graduation and retention rates (22.5%), faculty resources (20%), student selectivity (12.5%), financial resources (10%), graduation rate performance (7.5%) and alumni giving (5%).
Highlights of the rankings are available online at http://www.usnews.com/rankings. The complete rankings are published in the 2014 America's Best Colleges guidebook.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
It took a while to finally get here but the Emery Spartans finally played a home game after having been on the road for three straight and the Spartans gave their own fans plenty to cheer about as they took a non-region contest 34-0 over visiting American Leadership Academy from Spanish Fork.
JT Noyes, an Emery junior wingback, led the Spartans by scoring their first four touchdowns. Noyes scored on the Spartan second possession of the evening on a run of 19 yards. The Emery drive started at the ALA 36-yard line after linebacker Cory Hansen intercepted an Eagle pass.
Noyes ran the ball three straight times picking up all 36 yards and the score. Vern Kofford kicked the extra point.
Noyes would score in Emery's next possession from 10 yards out on a drive that started at the Eagle 39 yard line. The previous ALA drive was cut short when Emery caused a fumble and linebacker Chance Ariotti recovered the ball.
A pass from Gatlan Huntington to Tanner Procarione covering 23 yards was the big play of the drive. Kofford again kicked the extra point.
Dusty Jensen, an Emery cornerback, intercepted an Eagle pass on their next drive and Emery had the ball back at their own 38-yard line. Eleven plays later, Noyes would score again, this time on a three yard run. A Huntington pass to Cameron Hansen covered 26 yards and another pass to Procarione covered 13 yards. Kofford kicked another extra point.
Emery led at halftime 21-0. Emery gave up 57 yards in that first half and had caused three Eagle turnovers and had come up with ball after a bad snap on a punt that lost over 20 yards. Emery fumbled the opening kickoff and threw an interception just before halftime at the Eagle goal line preventing another score.
Emery would score two more times in the second half. Noyes would catch a Huntington pass for a three yard touchdown and Procarione would catch a Huntington pass for a 16-yard touchdown. Huntington would recover an Eagle fumble and Taylor Behling made a good play from the defensive end position and come up with the loose ball on a pitch by the Eagle quarterback. Clay Collard also recovered a fumble for the Spartans as most players on the bench saw some action.
On Emery's first scoring drive of the second half, Ariotti had a 22-yard run, Noyes had a 20-yard run and Huntington had a 16-yard run. That drive covered 97-yards.
On Emery's last scoring drive, the Spartans went to the air and Huntington completed five of six passes. Colby Snow caught a 15-yarder followed by a seven-yarder. Procarione caught an 18-yarder and Hansen caught a two yard pass. Procarione finished off the drive with his touchdown catch.
Emery had 146 yards of offense in the first half and 176 yards of offense in the second half. Huntington was 11 for 15 in passing for 132 yards and two touchdowns. He was four for six in the first half and seven for nine in the second half. Procarione caught four passes for 70 yards. Noyes ran the ball 10 times for 84 yards. Ariotti ran the ball 11 times for 44 yards.
Emery will now host Uintah this Friday night in the homecoming game. Game time is 7 p.m.

SHAME ON SOMEBODY... no board should be produced without a clear version id somewhere in the silkscreen...
If there's room in the silkscreen for "Zero carbon footprint"... in two languages... a claim that I find peculiar anyway, there's room for a version id.
Thanks guys. I guess I just won't be able to use PoE this time.
Well, if you like to tinker, wire your cat5 wire to use only four wires for the ethernet (10BaseT) and use the other four for a DIY power setup.
I guess I just won't be able to use PoE this time.

Oilers Announce Impressive Prospects Roster
August 12 2010 05:28PM
The Edmonton Oilers released their list for prospect camp today.
This is the group that will play in the Young Stars Prospects Tournament in mid-September against other NHL clubs young prospects. The list is here. The marquee players are Taylor Hall, Magnus Pääjärvi and Jordan Eberle, but the secondary bunch is also impressive: Tyler Pitlick, Chris Vande Velde, Teemu Hartikainen among the forwards, and Martin Marincin and Jeff Petry on the blue. Goalie Olivier Roy is also a highly touted prospect of interest.
The Oilers have invited a few non-draftees/signings as well. Notable in that group is Chase Schaber. He's a 19-year old WHL center with some jam and late (very late) developing skill. Mike Remmerde had this to say about him before the June draft:
- We always knew this guy had some pretty good skill level, and he finally started to show it off after the trade from Calgary. Still has that speed and fearless style, too. Was on our list late last year and as a sleeper that we like, and maybe some team finally saw it. Probably gets passed over again, but deserves a camp invite.
Once again Remmerde calls it. The 8-game tournament in Penticton will feature Oilers, Flames, Canucks, Ducks and Sharks prospects. With their draft pedigree, the young Oilers should show well.
Hartikainen sounds more like a potential 3rd line grinder to me.. Hope you're right about him. He could be a good fit if truly is somewhere between Tikkanen and Ruutu. Also - a huge steal considering he's a 6th rounder... Can he play wing?? Or is he only a centreman??
I could see Gagner with Brule but not with Frasor. Frasor is more suited for a 4th line role (maybe 3rd). Gagner needs to be in a top two line role, as does Eberle/MPS/Hall. Giroux won't be on this team. He's definitely proven in the AHL; I don't think we see him unless we get hit by injuries in 2010-11.
You're definitely right about Pisani or Comrie. I might consider Pisani if he didn't have colitis; but we need roster space for our youth. Omark looks good on You Tube and would definitely be a good addition to the shootout, but there's no way he is rookie of the year. If he were that good, he would have already cracked our lineup. Honestly, he'll be hard pressed to make the team. Excluding our veterans (that you shouldn't waive), he'll have to beat out Hall, Eberle and MPS. I honestly can't see that happening. I know the fact that he'll be in the AHL will drive you nuts, but I think that's a reality he'll need to face - at least for 2010-11....
August 13 2010, 02:53PM
Is Anton Lander signed yet? If he isn't what's the hold up?
SQUUUUEEEEE!!!! (did I do that right?!) Teh Oilers in the Ticker!!!
I'll be there for sure!
Omark is going to turn heads , he can be that impressive . Recently caught him on team Sweden at the worlds where his physical presence was what i found was the most impressive . He handles the big boys and men exceptionally well - almost with ease . He's small , but is hard /tenacious to get the puck away from him . As hard as trying to knock Laracques off the puck . Thats why he impressed me so much ! His offensive saavy was also evident . The way and manner he guards and handles the puck against big physical defencemen leaves one in awe .
Can he also do it at NHL level ? I see no evidence he can't to be honest, even in a smaller rink . All our rookies will be hard pressed to beat out Omark , and he could easily turn out to be the best of a bumper crop .
He's got great hands , and is adept at setting up and scoring in the net area . Surprisingly plays more like a power forward . He's going to be a fan favorite no doubt . Shouldn't take him long to adapt to NHL style of play .
Well thats the impression Omark left with me from the Worlds . It was his physical play that left me in awe morso than all his other attributes . Thats also why i figure Horcoff would be a good center between Omark and Svennson .
With practically nothing added to current roster again this season , the chance of seeing 6 or more rookies in season lineup grows .
How many of new additions are adequate or what one would list as upgrades from last season ? Whitney , Vandemeer , Giroux , Fraser , Gerber , etc . are not awe inspiring names to get very excited about to begin with . Most would have had trouble trying to get a seasonal regular spot on their former clubs. Ones we let get away truthfully were probably better .
How long will Oiler fans be patient waiting to see how long it will take them to have banner seasons , or a repeat of last years poor core performance ?
Seeing as Oilers have added maybe even more problems to a bad core , it might not be surprising ,or more advantageous, for club to go with even more than 6 rookies . Rather than subject Oiler fans to what looks like another poor core of questionable talent below even last years.
Just how long will Oiler fans be patient with the new core if it is not filled with an abundance of rookies ?? I'd say very little time !! Not like Tams and company have added any outstanding names outside rookies again this season .
I see nothing to suggest the core is any better than last years , and thus a proper rebuild seems rather hampered by this oversite .
Stick with the rookies rather than another weakened core ,to further add to an already antzy and fast growing impatient fan base . Not interested in seeing another season like last year at the expence of the rookies . Quite honestly , can't expect or see present core fairing very well to begin with unless they can all show more than they have anywhere else . Now thats highly unlikely to happen .

Cargo pockets at sides, drawstring at hemline and an exposed zipper detailing make this pair of soft bebe pants a chic way to go off duty. Try them with a basic white tee and a pair of strappy sandals for a quick day look.
- 100% lyocell
- Imported
- Rise: 12" (31 cm), inseam: 28" (71 cm), leg opening: 10" (25 cm)
- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size 4
Safari Cargo Pants 5 5
A winner Love the look and especially the material of these pants. Great with flats or sandal heels. A must have! August 31, 2013
DON'T WALK, RUN TO YOUR LOCAL BEBE AND GET THESE IN BLACK AND TAN!!! I have these in black, once again, recommended by my stylist Lauren...thank you Lauren! I love these pants, they run big so get a size down! They stretch. I need these in tan immediately. Great fit, nice silk materials perfect for cool spring and summer nights and hot sticky summer days. I live for these comfortable and sexy pants! May 4, 2013
soft and comfortabe I love the material and the style is causal but form fitting. It is a nice change from jeans and you can wear high sandals with it or flats. They are great for summer! April 28, 2013
Very comfortable, great fit I love these pants. They are so soft and comfortable and fit perfectly. I especially love the bottom ties, since I am short 5'2 and these are a bit long on me, I can tie them so they don't drag on the ground when I wear flats. They are true to size, maybe slightly big, but they have no stretch, so I stuck with my normal size and they fit perfect. The only issue I have with them is that they are dry clean only. April 16, 2013
cute pant, but run a little large Usually Bebe runs small, but in this case the pants were a little loose on me. Go with your normal size - 1 size smaller. Very cute pants though. I am getting a size smaller. April 11, 2013

Skip to comments.George Tiller (Child Murderer) shot to death at Wichita church
Posted on 05/31/2009 9:35:48 AM PDT by Kansas58
Kansas Abortionist George Tiller was shot today as he was going to Church.
(Excerpt) Read more at kansas.com ...
BOF, you scare me if his post makes you sick.
Negotiating away the lives of innocent human beings makes me sick as do those who advocate it.
Again, Kansans For Life, the NRLC affiliate, had the FULL support of the Kansas Bishops, years ago, when ALL, OR and the purists went AGAINST KFL and the Bishops!
Your side opposed the Church!
Well, I do not know the exact circumstance, as she had moved to another town and I was in not in direct contact with her at the time. And it is not, after all, the kind of thing you pry into. Something had gone wrong somewhere with the feotus -it was diseased/not developing properly - something like that. The doctors advised her it would have to be terminated. Don't know at what stage. I know she was really upset. She got over it - there was no permanent damage - she has three kids now, but I know she was really traumatised.
This is a sign of the times we live in. Blood is being shed all too easily in this society. And the bloodshed will continue and get worst because our government takes sides on every issue based on ideology and not the law this nation was founded on.
Our Supreme Court decided to allow private citizens to legally murder and profit from it. That decision sent us down this road of bloodshed. Now we have a vigilante murdering a doctor that legally practiced murder.
The end of all of this can only be more bloodshed, at best. And anarchy at worst. Because this government will always be ambiguous toward private citizens murdering others.
Kansas does not speak for the Church. The Magisterium speaks for the Church. The encyclicals of the popes speak for the Church.
For a second time (and I may add only the second time I have ever made this request in the ten plus years on FR) please stop posting to me. You truly make me sick.
and all the while I thought I was chatting with the Church Lady. BTW, what's a "Birkie"?
"Dr. Tiller charges between $5000 and $21,000 per abortion. He has stated in his own words that he has performed 60,000 abortions."
Don't know if it's true, but that's a LOT of blood money right there if it is.
Are you done with you're little temper tantrum there, noob? 50,000,000 still dead.
Don't be so naive. You are now arguing that sometimes, God will say its ok to murder a smiling innocent baby who has offended none. Doesn't exactly square with murdering this guy today to stop abortion. Infanticide, Murder, Rape of a young girl?
My God didnt will that on those people. That was clearly something Moses did freelance, blamed on God, and wrote it down. That old world Jewish history background stuff is precisely why Jesus came. And now you see the old testament as a roadmap? Ask yourself this. Why is it nearly impossible to buy JUST an old testament?
My priest explained this to me very well.
Granted, these were abortions done on Jews, but, just he same ——
My first thought, after I hoped he was having dinner with Satan tonight.
Point remains,, nazi girl.
Abortions are legal in all cases but these: 1.) 2.) 3.)
A NEGATIVE law would say, "Abortions in these cases are ILLIEGAL except for 2.) 2.) 3.)
If "positive" does not mean anything, why use the word?
Again, you need a course in logic and English, as well as law and theology.
Nope, you can not make a stupid statement, support it with irrelevant BOLD TYPE posts, and then ask me not to respond.
FR does not work that way.
I have made my points, however, and you have not refuted any of them, so I do agree that we are done.
A sickening amount of blood money.
Quibble? This is life and death we are talking here. I'm not quibbling. I don't think its a joke. This is a situation doctors go through. It's a situation that's touched me.
You think abortion is absolutely wrong, and never ever should be done. So in the situation earlier, my friend is pregnant and it's not going well. And according to you, because there cannot be an abortion, the mother-to-be could very well die. And you are saying that is ok?
I have a problem with that.
There was no point. An ellipses consist of periods, not commas.
WE are negotiating to SAVE Lives!
Does the General who has the choice of liberating 3 different concentration camps sin by picking one over another?
Does the cop faced with two armed opponents, aiming guns into a crowd, sin by not trying to kill both of them, with ONE bullet?
You need to get real, get practical, and try to win.
If you do not want to win, get out of politics and pray for those of us WHO DO WANT TO WIN!
Well, all hail the Magisterium and all hail the Pope
At $5,000 to $21,000 per abortion—and approximately 60,000 abortions overall—Tiller's Clinic must surely rank as one of the most profitable businesses in Kansas.
"Negotiating away the lives of innocent human beings makes me sick as do those who advocate it."
So in your opinion its better to insist on a complete ban and refuse any reductions in abortions until the complete ban is obtained.
Of course a complete ban is thegoal. That is a political goal and you are asking non-christians to accept your christian justification. Until they become christians they will largely refuse. As has occurred for the past 40 years and ~50 million babies.
"Positive laws are those laws which permit or oblige action, whereas negative laws are those which permit or oblige inaction. These permissions or obligations may be of either a legal or moral character. Likewise, the notion of positive and negative rights may be applied to either liberty rights or claim rights, either permitting one to act or refrain from acting, or obliging others to act or refrain from acting."
Is there going be a defense fund for the guy?
I'm very much pro-life, and from what I've heard of Tiller, he sounds like he's a real scumbag. That said though, I will never agree with or respect someone who thinks that committing cold blooded murder is the way to advance a political cause, even if it's a cause I believe in such as being pro-life.
As a Christian I wholeheartedly condemn the moron who murdered Tiller and hope his family obtains justice for the loss of their loved one. And I also hope those idiots who have an understanding attitude towards Tiller's murderer get their heads out of their rear ends and think about how this could affect the conservative movement.
Right now we have an administration and congress in Washington that's looking for any excuse to take away every freedom we have and squash our right of dissent. Not only will Obama and the left use this incident to paint all pro-lifers as nut job extremists who need to be monitored and shut down, but since the murderer used a gun, pro Second Amendment folks will be under the same government microscope as the pro-lifers. And if the drive-by media comes out with stories about the murderer being an avid listener of conservative talk radio, Obama and the rats will use this as an opportunity to take over media companies like Clear Channel, as they did with GM and Chrysler, in order to rid the airwaves of those who oppose their socialist agenda like Rush Limbaugh and other conservative hosts.
I believe abortion is the cruelest and most barbaric form of genocide the world has ever known and I would love nothing more than to see it ended immediately. But since I live in the real world and not an idealistic one, I believe the best way to end abortion is to change people's hearts and minds about the issue, and using the political process our founding fathers gave us to change the laws. Killing abortionists will not change any laws or win any hearts and minds in our favor.
Kansans for Life and the NRLC have NEVER gone against the Catholic Bishops.
YOUR SIDE HAS OPPOSED THE BISHOPS, and your arrogance on the matter shows!
"You are now arguing that sometimes, God will say its ok to murder a smiling innocent baby who has offended none."
We tend to place a lot more importance on what happens in this life than does God. The only thing he cares about is whether we accept Jesus as our savior and work towards the great commission.
Kansas does not speak for the Church.
Have a good evening.
You need to have the courage to back up what you say.
You have become a "drive by poster" posting silly arguments, making attacks, sounding pious and then demanding that I do not respond to your silly or stupid posts.
Again, stop posting to me and I will stop posting to you.
I am right on this issue, you are wrong.
I have supported the efforts of the Catholic Church on this issue.
You have affiliated with organizations which have opposed the Church, on this issue.
Facts are facts.
you lost.
Again, do not respond and I will quit posting.
See how this works?
You dont like it either, do you?
Another point:
If I do not have the right to kick you OFF the thread, I do not think that you have the right to kick me off MY OWN THREAD!
Maybe God is out of patience.
First the airplane crash and now this.
I pray for God's mercy on Tiller's soul. But I shed no tears at his passing.
So....if Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg was successful in assassinating Adolph Hitler, you would have agreed to have him shot be firing squad?
The point sure does remain,, that You are wrong to say America is worse than the NAZIS. And now a Grammar Nazi too? Not enough to just defend Hitler as better than America?
And read a language history book sport. English is about the only language that does not have an "academy". And it has never had any "rules" such as this. It only has conventions, that can be bent to my pleasure if they work well enough to convey my message, as i intended it. The language police have fought your silly battle for over 500 years, and have always lost. Which gave our language a flexibility that has allowed it to take over the world.
In 100 years, nobody who matters will speak anything but english, PRECISELY because nannies like you have been routinely ignored.
"Is there going be a defense fund for the guy?"
Hope not,,at least here at FR.
I'd suggest you look up the definition of murder. You are very confused.
Would Jesus murder an abortionist?
A law which says that you may NOT perform abortions under most circumstances does NOT mandate abortions under any circumstance, so your lack of logic shows, once more.
The Catholic Church, and all of her Bishops in America, would have absolutely no problem with a Human Life Amendment which included "rape, incest and life of the mother" exceptions, if no better law had a chance of passage.
They would THEN work for a better law.
You can not find a SINGLE Catholic Bishop who agrees with your take on legislative or political strategy.
Or I am going to huff and puff and blow your house down! LOLz
Also ANSWER THE QUESTION:
Should late term abortion bans, in other states, be repealed, under your very warped view of morality?
If late term abortion restrictions would be "immoral" in Kansas, should New York repeal there late term abortion restrictions?
Crickets chirping -——
"We tend to place a lot more importance on what happens in this life than does God. The only thing he cares about is whether we accept Jesus as our savior and work towards the great commission"
I do tend to place a lot of importance on Infanticide, Homicide, and rape of prepubescent girls. And i think God does too. Whats more likely, that God ordered those juveniles get raped? Or that Moses, and the old Jewish exodus tradition, gives god the blame for their every crime?
God gave you a mind,,it's really ok to use it.
The Kansas Bishops DO speak for the Church, on this issue, and I have always been on the side of the Kansas Catholic Conference, on this issue.
You have corrupted the language out of pride, and your views are not supported by the facts or by faith or by history.
Thank you for the opportunity to correct your errors.
I make mistakes too, but NOT on this issue!
This would be what the Bible defines as an aposate church.
nah, he woulda just softly zapped him into some dust of cosmic microparticles we have yet to discover and sent his remains at warp speed to some universe where mass murderers of babies are rehabilitated to come back as Quakers.
"I do not think that you have the right to kick me off MY OWN THREAD!"
Snicker snicker,,, hahahahaa Ohhhh things have got crazy today. Well, i gotta run guys. Don't hang out in the foyer after church tonite. You don't wanna wind up SHOT just because you wanted to chat a little too long!
I didn't say worse, you idiot. I said we've killed more; a fact you cannot dispute. Killing more innocents in a civilized society, as opposite to killing fewer in a society built for the express purpose of mass murder like Nazi Germany, is a greater feat of evil because it's far more difficult. That's why I said satan might see America as the greater accomplishment.
Get it? Of course not. Throw another temper-tantrum, why don't you.

One of our fellow sisters in Girl Scouting, Hailey from Johns Chapel, was involved in a tragic ATV Accident and was air-lifted to Children's Hospital in Birmingham. Hailey's injuries are very serious, and she will require several months in the hospital to recover.
As you can imagine, this is a very difficult time for Hailey's family, who wish to be at their daughter's side as much as possible. Your troops can help Hailey by collecting soda tabs on her behalf. For every gallon of soda tabs collected, her parents can stay for a night at no charge at the Ronald McDonald House in Birmingham while Hailey is in the hospital.
If your troop has any pop tops they would like to donate, please send them to the Birmingham Ronald McDonald House in Hailey's name. Get well cards would also be most welcome.
Please contact your local field executive for more details or for help getting the tabs to the family. Thank you for all your support in helping one of our sisters.

Love This Dryerive been on the hunt for a professional hair dryer that would get the job done quickly but not be a tornado for my fine hair. This is it! I tried a babylisspro first, but it was far too powerful on the lowest speed. This solano is perfect. I can successfully use my round brush and it leaves my hair smooth and shiny. Definitely recommend for my thin-haired sisters.Dec 13, 2014EmilyHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Fine or Thin Hair

Solano Hair BlowerI've had this hair blower for approximately a year. I disagree with other reviewers who say it does not get hot enough. I think it gets does get hot as it sometimes burns my scalp. My problems with it are the placement of the on-off switch and the speed switch. They are right on the handle where you have to hold it. I'm constantly turning them off and it is so annoying and frustrating. I spend half my time turning them back on. Also, the cord is too long for home use. I have a small space where I do my hair (it's the only place in my house to do my hair) and the cord is constantly getting twisted because of the length and it hangs all over the floor enticing my cats to play with it. So, I'm in the market for a decent hair blower because this one just isn't it.

Lightweight And Dries Hair Fast!i got this to replace my old (and heavy) hair dryer since the motor finally started dying on it. the biggest advantage of this solano is the weight. i have a lot of hair that is very thick and holds a lot of water, so it takes a while to dry. after towel-drying my hair, it probably takes about 15-20 minutes to dry my hair while finger-combing it. my hair is almost down to my waist and it is super thick, so 15-20 minutes is light-speed for me! my old dryer easily weighed 3# (OUCH!) so this dryer is a feather by comparison. i like that the cord is super long. i have a small bathroom, so i walk out into the hall and dry my hair there to not get hot and cooped up feeling.Sep 4, 2013Elle / Columbia, ScHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

Needs More Power, Not For The Home UserI was in the market for a professional grade hair dryer and spent several months researching and comparing brands and models. I finally settled on this one, particularly since it was lightweight and seemed to have many great reviews. I have a permanent hand injury that makes it difficult to dry my hair and so I wanted one that would help me do the job as quickly as possible. After using it for 5 months, I am ready to sell it on Craigslist and go back to a cheap Revlon dryer.
Many reviewers said it left their hair silky and smooth. I've experienced the opposite; my hair is left frizzy, with the cuticle not smoothed out at all. Also, there are unflattering bends in the hair. I am presuming this is caused by a combination of not taking small enough sections and a very narrow opening on the concentrator. This is the first time I've ever experienced this with a dryer.
The placement of the buttons is another inconvenient aspect. Perhaps for a stylist, the buttons are perfectly placed, but the way I hold it in my left hand, I'm constantly accidentally knocking the buttons and having to readjust. Also, the cold shot button is tiny, very hard to reach, and very hard to press.
Although it seems like this dryer gets hot enough and seems powerful enough, it takes longer to dry my hair, and often it feels like it's not completely dry at all. Add a bit of humidity to the air and my style is a wreck within the hour.
This might be a great choice for a professional stylist, who can grip it correctly and can take the extra time this requires to fully dry a client's hair. It definitely is lightweight - as long as you don't take into account the very long cord, which adds a significant amount of weight. For a home user like me, it is not powerful enough, leaves bends in my hair, and is inconvenient to hold. It is disappointing that going upmarket on a styling tool didn't garner better results. So, back to the cheap Revlon. When it breaks, I'll toss it out and buy another.Apr 15, 2013AnnHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

My New Hair DryerThe hair dryer does a great job, and is light as is advertised. The only thing I really dislike is the location of the buttons on the handle. You can't hold it without accidently pushing/changing the buttons which is really a disadvantage. Especially for the money I paid for this.Dec 19, 2012Jean N. / USA

Very Light And QuietI got this dryer after dropping my old Conair that I had for 5 years. I really liked that one too but I couldn't find it for sale anywhere. I chose to recycle my old one and get this one. My old Conair was very fast but loud and screeching. I turned this one on when I got it and I noticed the air flow is good but a bit slower than my old one. I assumed this was due to the lower power. The nozzle is very narrow and with the concentrator the air flow is almost as powerful as an 1875 watt dryer. My hair did take a slightly longer time to dry but when it was finally dry, my hair was voluminous and shinier. My hair used to get so frizzy.One thing I would improve on is I would want an ionic generator for faster dry time and smoother hair but I am ok for now without one. Maybe the ions were causing my hair to frizz out so much.Nov 15, 2012Senyee L. / United StatesHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Professional Hair Dryer Ever!I'm a licensed stylist and this is the only hair dryer I've ever purchased since cosmetology school. Its healthier for your hair because the wattage is lower, it doesn't fry your hair when you dry it and it doesn't take me any longer to dry it. Also, its super light weight so when you're blow drying a zillion clients in a day your arm doesn't feel like its going to fall off at the end of the day. I always use the attachment with a ceramic round brush and I always get perfectly shiny, smooth hair on all clients. They always ask me how I get their hair so perfect and I tell them... its all in the brush and blow dryer!! Since 2006 I've had two of these, each lasting well over 3-4 years. Excellent product. I hope they continue to make this dryer for years to come!!Nov 2, 2012Holly / MichiganHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Lightweight But Air Flow Is Not Great...I purchased the Solano Turbo Ultra Lite after reading the reviews. I did not want a dryer that had the switches on the side and most of them come that way. I realize that they are designed for hair stylists and it makes more sense for them to have them on the side but for my personal use, I wanted them under the nozzle where I was used to having them. That is why I purchased the Solano Turbo Ultra Lite.
The things I like about the dryer are the weight, the design and how my hair looks afterwards. It actually looks healthier. I don't know about it having more volume but I love that it looks healthier.
What I don't like about the dryer? The speed of the air flow. I realized that it was a 1700 watt dryer before I purchased it but I didn't think there would be such a huge difference in air flow. I have normal hair (not too thick or thin) but I have a lot of it. And this dryer was not really meant for me. My drying time has actually increased. Not by much, but it still did increase.
So I am torn as to whether or not I should keep it. I have had it almost 3 weeks so I have to decide soon. I am guessing I will return it but I just dread looking for a new one.
My advice - if you have normal or thin hair, including a normal amount, this would be a great dryer. If you have thick hair or lots of it, keep looking.Sep 28, 2012Lori / Charlotte, NCHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Light WeightI have been using the Solano hair dryer for years. It has never failed me. However, as I am getting older, the regular hair dryer is starting to get heavy for me and my arms get tired. My hairdresser told me that Solano now makes a lightweight dryer so I was right on it. I first bought the Solano Lite but it was still a little heavy. Then I discovered the Solano Ultra Lite so I exchanged the one I had for the Ultra Lite. It is much better in weight which was my primary concern. I don't see any difference in the drying process. The Ultra Lite dries as good as my old one. The only problem I had was that the switfches are now located inside the handle instead of on the side so it is taking some getting used to in my grip of the handle. Otherwise, I am very pleased.Jun 27, 2012Elizabeth D.HAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

Love It!First I'd like to say this site was awesome to buy from. It was on my doorstep 1 day after putting in my order. It is much less noisy and lightweight compared to my other dryers and doesn't have real high heat or power which in my case is a good thing. I have fine hair, but a lot of it and like it long so I try to keep it as healthy as possible. My other dryers were hard to get the bends in hair straight, and I'd end up with a frizzy hair unless I used a flat iron which I swore off a long time ago due to damage. This makes my hair silky smooth, and I use the nozzle to protect the hair. I love it! My hair feels like I used a flat iron (which is the look I want) with just a simple blow dry.Jun 21, 2012LaurenHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

'Get there early, stay late' cliche applies to Bills' Watkins
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jun 6 2014 12:44PM
It's been nearly a month since the Buffalo Bills traded their 2015 first and fourth-round picks to have the opportunity to select wide receiver Sammy Watkins with the fourth overall draft choice. It's only one month and it must become a trend throughout the season, but Watkins is doing everything early on in his power to become great in the NFL.
During rookie minicamp, it was noted that Watkins stayed after practice to catch some passes to work on his craft, but that's not even the half of it. It's certainly a cliché that players use but don't always follow up on, but one month in the rookie wideout is getting to team facilities early, and staying late to get the most out of his day.
"Here, you get in early. It's your job now," Watkins said of being a professional as opposed to college. "If you're taking it seriously, you're trying to be great and be the best at your position in the NFL, you need to be here early."
Still 20 years old for the next week (he turns 21 on Saturday, June 14), the maturity seems to be in order for a potential standout at his position. That's half the battle, and it's also about what you do with your day to try and get a leg up on the rest.
Watkins described his typical day during offseason workouts, rookie minicamp and now into organized team activities.
"Around six o'clock AM," he replied to the query of when he gets in the building each day. "I be here all day. I don't leave until about, I'd say, four or five-ish. Watch extra film with coaches, stretch out, drink your milkshakes, eat right and that's about your day. You go home and stretch out, eat again, follow your schedule, eat again and by nine o'clock, ten o'clock, you're in the bed."
When he initially gets to One Bills Drive, Watkins goes through a series of stretching, eating, watching his individual cut-ups and going over the playbook all before the normal practice time of 10:30 am. He also understands the difference between repetition in exercise and valuable time spent in one important aspect of the off-the-field preparations.
"You don't want to watch too much film because you're gonna have good and bad on there -- which is good when you're watching with the coach," Watkins noted. "With yourself, you don't know what you're correcting really right now. All you can do is go out there and play fast. But, I can study the details of the film, watch other guys and what they mess up on and myself, and just try to correct it the next day."
No games have been played and no padded practices have been conducted, but it's hard to argue for a much better start out of a highly touted and a heavy investment caliber of player. It will just be up to Watkins to keep up a similar work ethic when he finds his footing in the area and the Bills are into their regular season.

Raymond Doyal Eitel
Graveside inurnment services for Raymond Doyal Eitel will be held at 2 p.m. on May 31 at the Cortez Cemetery.
Ray, a humble and "to the point" man, wrote the following as his obituary:
"Raymond was born October 22, 1925 at Bettie, Texas the son of Rufus and Evie (Smith) Eitel. He served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and Korea. On January 25, 1947, Ray married the love of his life, Doris Virginia Booth in Magnolia, Ark. A son, Ron, and a daughter, Rita, were born to this union.
"After college, Raymond worked for W.B. Ferguson Construction, taught school in Dolores, sold cars for Bob Gabriel Chevrolet and finished his working years selling for Joe Keesee at Keesee Motors.
"Raymond retired a little early to take care of Doris, who came down with Muscular Dystrophy. She had a fear of having to spend her remaining years in a nursing home. Thank God this did not happen. After buying a handicap van, with the help of Joe Keesee, they could be seen out almost every day. Steve Walker and Gerald Francini saw that the van was properly rigged for her wheelchair. Good Friends."
Ray's survivors include son Ron Eitel and wife, Connie of Peoria, Ariz.; daughter Rita Galyon and husband, Louie of Cortez; grandchildren Richard Knippers and wife, Desiree of Evanston, Wyo.; Randy Eitel and wife Denise of Farmington; and Barbie Duckett and husband Nate of Farmington; great-grandchildren Dillon Knippers of Evanston, Wyo., and Hannah and Ethan Duckett of Farmington; brother-in-law Buddy Booth and wife, Ann of Magnolia, Ark.; and niece, Nancy Hearne Isham and husband David of Teaque, Texas.

Best purchase in months
"I was looking for comfortable shoes, something between good looking and comfort, I tried several pairs , from Sperry's to Nike sneakers but didn't fit my expectations.And just for the heck of it , I tried this pair...for the appearance they looked a little stiff but they weren't , sole is very smooth and they match Jean's , Khakis or dress up pants... I really like them, It was a little over my budget but it's worthy."

The harvest (Breton landscape)
[La moisson (Paysage breton)] 1888
oil on wood panel
panel 56.5 (h) x 45.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase 1965

The Pension Gloanec, situated at the south-eastern end of the square on Rue du Pont at Pont-Aven, offered board and lodging and was popular with artists—English, Americans and Danes.1 Many of them left a souvenir of their stay, or in lieu of payment. When Bernard's The harvest was hung on the dining room wall, guests threw bread balls at it. Begged to remove the painting, the landlady, Marie Jeanne Gloanec returned it to the artist, who exchanged it for a work with Gauguin.
Bernard's works are characterised by bold forms separated by dark contours, the sort of graphic innovation achieved by Toulouse-Lautrec and others, but using oils. In 1888 he painted at Pont-Aven for several months from mid August to early November, exploring aesthetic and theoretical innovations with Gauguin. This was his second trip: he had visited in August 1886, on a walking tour through Brittany, but had then found the older artist unreceptive. In 1888 Bernard carried an introduction to Gauguin from van Gogh, and his starkly drawn Breton women in the meadow 1888 fired Gauguin with new enthusiasm. This interest in Breton peasant life—Bernard also carved furniture and designed tapestries—continued after Pont-Aven, and The harvest is one of a group of canvases painted around the theme. Like Gauguin he also produced a portfolio of prints, Bretonneries, for the Volpini show at the time of the 1889 Universal Exhibition in Paris.
According to the artist's inscription on the back, The harvest caused 'great discord' among the boarders at Pension Gloanec because of its novelty, simplicity and rawness.2 The absence of any spatial organisation is what makes Bernard's painting so astounding; this 'highly synthetic work is exemplary in its simplified and separate fields of colour'.3 The shapes used to define the harvesters and their surrounds are modulated only by the artist's brushstrokes, and the traces of extra colour incorporated from an uncleaned brush. Outlined with blue-black, the figures stand out against the creamy-yellow background, the radical simplicity of their flattened forms played off against the dramatic diagonal of the hill, and the darker green trees, green landscape and blue sky. The second pair of harvesters, ankle-deep in wheat and bent over their task, becomes simple arabesques. Only the standing figure has a hand. And given that the hand is green—and would be more at home in the work of twentieth-century masters such as Picasso or Henri Matisse—we may well understand the concerns of the pensionnaires Gloanec.

lovely and comfortable
"This is a lovely pair of dress sandals.The color "gold" is a bit more champagne than gold, but that's what I was looking for so it could blend in more seamlessly with the length of my legs. I like the satin finish champagne color on my light-medium skintone, because it's not necessarily flat - nor is it starkly nude or shiny like nude patent pumps/heels, and it's more toned down than straight-up metallic yellow-gold or silver.I usually don't like the look of obvious platforms - they look clunkier to me than single-soled heels - but they definitely add to the comfort of these heels. The straps and rhinestones are a beautiful touch that make the overall dress sandals look more elegant and evening-appropriate.Also, often strappy heels will dig into your toe area, but these were fairly comfortable. I walked over half a mile in them from our hotel to the club, and were able to dance for a good couple hours. Although I did switch into my portable flats at the end of the night for the walk back from the club, my feet weren't DYING like they sometimes are after maybe only an hour in other heels. I probably could've lasted another half hour to an hour in them. It helps that the straps aren't too thin. Thicker straps keep your feet in the sandals better, rather than letting your feet slide forward and put more pressure onto the balls of your feet."

HIGHLANDS RANCH – ThunderRidge's Brianna Throop was playing with four fouls but never hesitated because she knew her team needed a basket.
Throop completed a 3-point play with 1:31 left in the game, the pivotal moment in ThunderRidge's 52-49 victory over Continental League rival Castle View in a Class 5A Sweet 16 girls playoff game March 5.
ThunderRidge, a team that was 4-7 early in the season, will take a 17-8 record into the March 7 Great Eight matchup against Arapahoe (23-2) at the Denver Coliseum.
Castle View ended its season with a 15-11 record but the Sabercats had chances to extend their season. Instead Castle View had to watch Throop excite the crowd in the ThunderRidge gym with a clutch, game-ending performance.
Castle View's 5-foot-6 point guard Kylie Minish was brilliant the entire game and her layup tied it at 47.
That's when Throop, a 5-7 senior, drove the lane, cashed in a layup and drew a foul. She completed an old-fashioned 3-point play to push ThunderRidge ahead 50-47 with 1:31 still to play in the game.
"At that point, I really didn't think about getting an offensive foul," Throop said. "I knew we needed a score. I had to keep that aggressive mentality and attack the rim."
Castle View, which made 8-of-10 free throws in the final six minutes, closed to within a point on Amy Schmelzer's two free throws with 1:12 remaining but Throop countered with two points from the charity line with 29.8 seconds to close the scoring.
"Bree had to make that drive, get fouled and make that free throw to get that 3-point lead," Castle View coach Matt Hema said. "In the end that was probably the difference in the ball game.
"She made a great play. I told our kids, their best player made a heck of a play down the stretch and that was the difference."
Throop, who has signed to play at Long Beach State, finished with a game-high 19 points, with 17 in the second half.
"The first half was a little shaky," Throop admitted. "I was a little tight. The second half I realized what I needed to do to help my team. I was definitely more aggressive in the second half."
ThunderRidge coach Bill Bradley shuffled Throop on and off the floor in the fourth quarter because of her foul trouble but she was always in the middle of the action when it counted.
"She played really well," Bradley said. "She was on the attack and she's really grown up. She's more than happy to pick our team up and put them on her back and say 'let's go.' And, you need that out of a point guard."
Castle View, which lost 50-36 to ThunderRidge Feb. 19, had an 11 point lead in the second quarter as the Grizzlies made only 22.7 percent of their field goal attempts in the first half.
"They are a much better basketball team," Braid said of the Sabercats. "Coach Hema has done a great job with those kids. We didn't shoot particularly well and made some uncharacteristic turnovers.
"We are 13-1 in our last 14 games but it's just about playing one more game. We played Arapahoe in the third game of the year. I'm sure they are a different game and we are a different team."
Arapahoe defeated ThunderRidge 50-38 on Dec. 6 and Throop said, "We just got to keep working and get revenge on Arapahoe."
Minish wound up with 17 points for the Sabercats.
"Kylie played well defensively, offensively, handled the ball against pressure and made free throws down the stretch when we had to keep it close," said Hema. "She was pretty impressive.
"We have our starting group back, our sixth and seventh man kind of a deal off the bench so we are certainly excited about next year. But, it's tough to think about that right now. It would have been nice to make a trip of the Coliseum."

Week Four Layout -- Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

I love Sleepy Hollow, NY. It's such a fascinating place to visit. The cemetery is very large and beautiful. There are lots of interesting folk buried there. Among them is Washington Irving, the author of 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'. Some of the graves are so old, that the inscriptions on the headstones are unreadable. There are also memorials to those who perished in the American Revolution and also the Civil War. I found the revolution memorial and the photo is the one that I turned Sepia and has the star burst behind it. I love cemeteries and I love to walk through them and look at the dates on the headstones. Even when I'm on vacation, if I see a cemetery, I have to stop and visit. My friends and I are taking a Trolly Tour through one of the largest cemeteries in New York, Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx.
I turned one of the photos to Sepia. I added brush work, styles, shadows. I also added three embellishments and duplicated them three times each.
Supplies Used:
SG Autumn Collection Biggie -- Papers -ABR Stacked, ASO Leaves -- KVE Journal, BHA Leaves
BMU Brush Set -- Sun Burst recolored using PSE10 Styles Glass Buttons orange
EBA Autumn Joy Collection -- Butterfly
Love the layout - the leaves look wonderful. Great photos & I love the multiple borders.

Your Health, Our National Security
By Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack
Today I joined U.S. Senator Richard Lugar (R-IN) and retired admirals and generals from the non-profit group, Mission: Readiness, to release the results of a study on obesity among young adults. The report delivered some disturbing news – more than 9 million young adults, age 17 to 24, are now too overweight to join the military. But with this news comes opportunity and optimism to help our kids across the country to lead healthier lifestyles.
The Mission: Readiness group, which consists of more than 130 retired admirals, generals and other military leaders, has shown America that the obesity epidemic is threatening the nation's security, and is calling on Congress to support the administration's proposal of an increase of $1 billion per year for ten years for child nutrition programs.
As Congress debates reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act, it is important to recognize the historical context and future impact this legislation will have on our nation – our economy, our national security, and our communities. Immediately after the World War II, our leaders understood the importance of investing in good nutrition to ensure that the country would never want for healthy, strong, young people to serve in uniform. And so, in 1946, President Harry Truman signed the National School Lunch Act – which formed the basis for the nutrition programs we still have in place today.
Fast forward 60 years and we are faced with a generation of young Americans that are not healthy or fit enough to serve their country as their forefathers have. The Obama Administration and Mission Readiness stand united behind the following priorities for the reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act: get the junk food out of our schools; support increased funding to improve nutritional standards and the quality of meals served in schools; and provide more children access to effective programs that cut obesity.
This is a crisis that strikes at the core value of service to country and community. Let this study serve as a call to action for all Americans. What can you do to help your country? Get fit, get active, get healthy
