Super cute shoes!!!
"Super cute and comfy shoes. I love the vintage look and they worked with everything I tried them on with. My shoe size is a 7.5 and I ordered a 7.5 and they fit perfectly."

Love these shoes!
"I ordered half a size bigger than I would normally get and reading some reviews, and these fit perfectly right out of the box! I have slightly wide feet and they're completely comfortable, and the laces keep them in place. I'm very happy with their flexibility as I bought these specifically for swing dancing, and the bottom of the shoe has a felt-like finish that makes them perfectly slick for dancing on wood floors. The heel still provides enough grip that you won't be sliding everywhere when you wear these (unless you want to!) and I'm so excited to see what outfit combinations these can lend themselves to! The colors are rich and brilliant and I highly recommend these very pretty shoes!"

Very cute but slightly small
"Cute shoes but were just a little too small for me in my normal size. Would look nice with jeans or tights."

National Forest Works With Florida Officials, Off-Highway Vehicle Users, to Build Trailhead
For many, the "great" in "the great outdoors" answers the call to hit the open road with body, soul and little else except their motorcycle. That got a little easier on the Apalachicola National Forest in Florida with the opening of a new trailhead beckoning riders with easier trail access and opportunity to ride for recreation.
The grand opening of the new Springhill Motorcycle Trailhead south of Tallahassee, Fla., highlights the U.S. Forest Service policy to develop a system of roads, trails and areas designated for motor vehicle use.
The project includes a new, single-span aluminum bridge to connect the forest's separate motorized northern and southern trails. The prefabricated 90-foot Fisher Creek Bridge, shipped in two sections, replaces an older, antiquated bridge that stretched across the waterway. Read more »

Programming & Outreach
Teaching Teens How to Fail: Library Spaces and the Maker Movement
The maker movement has already infiltrated many libraries. But who is a maker? What does s/he do? The Free Library of Philadelphia has been offering maker programs, from e-textiles to printed circuits to tactile media. Much of the philosophy behind making is mentoring youth in tinkering and experimentation. We are committed to spreading the gospel of why it's important to fail, learn, and try again as integral to the making and learning process.
Learning Outcomes:
• Participants will have a better understanding of the maker movement and how to get involved?
• Participants will explore low-barrier entry to maker activities (low-cost technology)
• Participants will explore proven mentorship practices
Energizing Teen Creativity by Letting Go
Learn how the Visalia Branch Library 'let go' of conventional summer reading program methods and let 10 teens plan their own program. In just one hour, these teens had the frame work laid out for a murder mystery summer. Come see how they planned programming, wrote scripts, acted in videos, directed, and filmed each other. Two of the teens also created all the graphics used for the websites, posters, bookmarks and t-shirts. Summer 2013 was just the beginning!
Learning Outcomes:
• Engaging teens in their own interests
• Teaching without structured curriculum
• Learning when to take a step back
Dynamic Duos: Collaboration between School and Public Library Systems School Teacher-Librarians and Children's/Teen Librarians in public libraries have much to offer each other -- experience, skills, resources, audience -- but realizing a successful collaboration can be difficult. We will explore collaboration from both sides, giving you the know-how to really take advantage of your colleagues (in a good way). We'll present the results of a national survey and present multiple models of mutual support. Improve every aspect of your library services from your collection to programming while doing less work and having more fun!
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand the benefits of collaboration between schools and public libraries and begin to develop a seamless user-experience for patrons of the two library systems.
• Begin a new collaboration or expand an existing collaboration to better serve teen patrons and help them become lifelong learners.
• Make new friends and learn how to take advantage of other library professionals in a mutually beneficial manner.

Research & Best Practices
We F'ed Up, But We Fixed It: Thriving When Things Go Wrong
"Failure" doesn't have to be the "f-word." We all fear the program that no one comes to, but we're not alone in failing, and in that empty room is a lesson that can make future efforts successful. A panel of librarians will discuss initiatives that didn't turn out as planned and how they recovered from their mistakes and went on to flourish. Participants will also have the opportunity to workshop their own failures into successes.
Learning Outcomes:
• Participants will have increased confidence in taking risks
• Participants will be empowered to make a case for risk-taking to administration
• Participants will have improved their adaptability and ability to recover from failure

Keeping It Critical: The Possibilities and Perils of Participatory Learning and Critical Literacies in the Library
This presentation uses a critical literacy lens to unpack opportunities and challenges that libraries face in an era of participatory culture: from remixing videos on YouTube to building fantastical worlds in Minecraft, students today are producing media in ways that weren't possible before.

Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment with pure Moroccan Argan Oil protects from heat damage and leaves hair incredibly smooth and shiny. Argan Oil which is sometimes referred to as Moroccan Oil is produced from the kernels of the argan tree, found in Morocco. Cherished for its nutritive, cosmetic and medicinal properties, Moroccan Argan Oil is extraordinarily rich in things like natural tocopherols and vitamin E.
Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment instantly absorbs into hair, improves hair health and creates polished styles with brilliant shine. So unlike other products with argan oil (including Moroccanoil,) only Sedu polishing treatment provides heat protection from styling appliances and controls frizz. It also has UV protection and other ingredients like avocado oil to help keep hair healthier. Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment comes in an elegant shatter proof bottle with a convenient pump to control dosage for easier use.
Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment is already receiving rave reviews. Jackie C. claims it is "Like Moroccan Oil But Better Like" Whitney M states "I absolutely love the Sedu Anti Frizz Polishing Serum! It made my hair more manageable and a lot easier to work with. It helped by giving my hair a healthy looking shine. I love it!"
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Phenyltrimethicone, Amodimethicone, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil, Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Fragrance, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Yellow 1, Red 17
Start with a dime-sized amount of the serum and apply throughout damp or dry hair, using more or less depending on hair length. Style as usual.
Up To Par?The serum I usually use for my hair is Biosilk Silk Therapy, because I couldn't find something that is up to par with this product. Sedu Anti-Frizz Serum has really good texture but it dries the ends of my hair very quickly, the smell is kind of like melted carmax. Other than that the smell last all day & blocks out other orders (I work at a japanese restaurant & my hair didn't smell like fried rice when I got home!) It tames all my fly-aways, I think the reason why it doesn't work well with my hair is cause it's very thick & semi-coarse! But overall I think it's an alright product, I'm still going to stay loyal to my biosilk ;]Sep 20, 2010Lily L. / Louisville.HAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Call Off The Search!I work in the marketing department here at Folica.com and I've always searched for that one product that just did everything and left my hair looking amazing. My hair is naturally curly so this is perfect for my major issue - frizz!! I use it before blow drying and then again once my style is complete to tame down those whispies in front. The smell is great, not overwhelming or fruity just clean and fresh. My hair is pretty thin and this doesn't weigh it down like other serums. When I leave my hair curly I'll rub an extra little bit through the ends to smooth them out. I recommend this product to everyone... absolutely love it!!Sep 17, 2010Julie R. / New YorkHAIR TYPEAuburn / Curly Hair

Fly Aways Go Away!This product is truly amazing. When I opened the package to see what I got I have to say I thought it would not work as it claimed to. It said it would dry non greasy and I was like yeah right so many serums/treatments claim to do that but it never happens however I put the product in my hair and I looked at my hands they were dry. So what I do is with towel dried hair I apply a pea sized amount to my hand (little goes a huge way with this product) rub it between my hand then apply focusing on the ends and whatever is remaining apply to the top part of my hair. Then you can blow-dry with a brush which gives you the silkiest shiniest looking hair I do this many times a week now but the product is at its last use unfortunately. I enjoyed this product it does what it claims and I love it! Definatly recommend it cause it's everygirls dreams for flyaway free hair that is shiny and luxurious!Sep 17, 2010SideraHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair

A Frizzy Haired Girl's Best FriendI recently received a sample size of the Sedu Anti-Frizz polishing treatment to test and review. My hair type is on the dry side with lots of wave and frizz mixed in. The polishing treatment tamed my halo of frizz with the smallest amount. I notice that with a serum you only need a slight amount to be effective. I suggest to start with small amounts and build up slowly starting when your hair is damp to smooth out then at the end to polish off the look. If it is overdone the hair could look greasy, like with any other serum. When put in correctly it will give your hair a beautiful healthy shine. Your whole look will become softened and the texture will be smooth through your fingers. It is so easy to use and it smells great in the hair (not chemically). I'm very pleased with this product and I think it will repair your hair and improve the look!Sep 17, 2010ClaireHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair

Oily Haired Girl Loves It!I am one who is not a fan of serum's or anything that goes in your hair that is not shampoo or conditioner. I have very soft, oily hair and nothing works! Sedu Polishing Treatment came along and did miracles. I LOVE IT! I only got a sample size, but from my results, a regular size bottle and the price is totally worth it! It took away my frizz, made my hair soft and smooth, and on top of that my ends looked healthier. I put it on my hair when it was damp and let it dry. I tried it on my dry hair but it is far to heavy for MY hair. Overall I love the products and my hair loved it as well!Sep 17, 2010Icraiz / Baton Rouge, LouisianaHAIR TYPEBlack / Oily Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Great For Straight Hair Fly-aways!THE CLAIMS:
Absorb instantly for a lightweight feel
Eliminate frizz
Increase shine and smoothness
Heat protection
Healthier looking hair
Similar to any review I would do for skincare, I can only speak for girls of similar hair type. My hair is very straight, quite limp and fine. I always have to fight to keep a curl or any volume. The main reason I wanted to try this serum is to help control fly-aways and give my hair a silky, soft shine.
The product I received was a small sample size with about 2-3 uses however someone with a hair texture similar to mine would get many more out of it because I only use a tiny drop for my entire head. I have used it about 7 times and still have a couple uses left...I take a drop about the size of a dime (it's more viscous than you may think for a serum) and rub it in between my palms then use my two hands and run them over my hair. I avoid the top 1/3 of my head because my flat, straight hair tends to look oily if I use any type of moisturizing, shine treatments on my roots.
The product also has a lovely smell- not too strong but lightly fragranced that lingers for a little while. It leaves behind gorgeous, smooth hair and really helps flatten down fly-aways. I found that it lasted a few hours, but not throughout an entire day without touch-ups. cannot comment on how it makes frizz more manageable for frizzy, curly hair but I would definitely suggest it to try.
As for heat protection, I wouldn't consider this my primary heat protectant as I find I use so little to just smooth down fly-aways and add some shine, I don't feel like it could possibly protect my hair as well as a true heat protectant spray. It's not a fault of the product, I just wouldn't use the amount necessary to actually provide protection.
-Adds smoothness and shine
-Lightweight (as long as not put on roots)
-Nice scent
-Makes hair soft to the touch
-Doesn't last all day (requires touch-ups)
-Can make roots of straight hair look oily
I think this treatment works great as a shine/finishing serum to tame fly-aways although I cannot comment on its abilities to manage frizz for curly haired ladies. I really love the scent and how healthy it leaves my hair looking, as long as I don't over-do it! :)

New Favorite Product!Normally when I first try out products I am a bit skeptical. When it came to the Sedu Anti Frizz Polishing Treatment I was shocked! Not only did the product worked the way I wanted it to, but it smelled fantastic too. I've used the product over the course of almost 3 weeks now and I can honestly say that there has been a positive change in my hair. I've noticed less frizz and a healthier, shiner "glow" to my hair. I love that the Polishing Treatment not only gives my hair such a healthy look but it also protects my hair from heat. I find the best way to use this product is to apply to damp hair and then continue to blow dry until your hair is dry. Often times I find the consistency of products similar to this are very oily and generally leave my hair with a greasy finish. I'm happy to say that this product does not leave my hair greasy by any means! Overall, I give this product two thumbs up. Sedu once again delivers a great product!Sep 16, 2010Kimberley B. / USAHAIR TYPELight Brown / Normal Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

Great Product For Hard To Tame Frizzy Coarse Hair!I have very thick coarse frizzy prone hair and normally need an assortment of different products to manage frizz, add shine and create a silky feel. I tried this and loved it. I like that it is one easy step. I put it in after my shower and it worked great. I love that it has a heat protectant in it as well, tamed frizz and made my hair soft and shiney. Plus it smells fantastic. I will defintely be purchasing more.Sep 16, 2010Elise C.HAIR TYPEDry Hair / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

A Great Product For Beauty Queens And Kids Alike!This product is absolutely worth the money you spend! It only takes a few drops that you work into your hair to see results. Anti-frizz? Yes. Smooth and sleek? Yes. Greasy, heavy hair? NO WAY! I've tried other products that are just too heavy of a formula and weigh my hair down. The Sedu Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment is really lightweight. Remember, it only takes a small amount to see results!
I even use this on my kids to combat those fly-away hairs! It's going to be a hair saver come winter when the dry air causes insane static!Sep 16, 2010Tammy G. / So. Cal.HAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

The Best Polishing Product I Have Ever Used!
This product is absolutely amazing! I have always battled with frizzy hair and have tried lots of other "smoothing" products. But my hair would always feel heavy. My husband, who works at Folica.com, came home one night with this product and asked me to try it out. I was amazed with the results! With Sedu's Anti-Frizz Polishing Treatment my hair feels really light with NO FRIZZ! I have had a number of friends comment on how healthy and beautiful my hair looks. I can't recommend it enough!Sep 15, 2010Elizabeth G. / ConnecticutHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Color Treated Hair

"The primary purpose of this Club shall be to develop, promote and administer both a recreational and a competitive soccer program among all boys and girls from ages four through nineteen primarily in the communities of Paradise, Magalia, and Stirling City, without regard to their race, creed, gender, or ability."
Competitive Program
Competitive soccer, also known as traveling soccer, Metro, or just "comp", has been a small part of the Paradise program for many years. Due to many factors, including geography which gives us very little field space, our focus on the recreational program, and the relatively small number of players in our program overall, competitive soccer on the ridge has always been coach-driven and has had limited success. After fielding four competitive teams in 2012, the club will have only two competitive teams in 2013.
As a member of the Butte Youth Soccer League, however, our players have access to the Chico Cal Soccer Club program, an entirely competitive program in Chico. Chico Cal forms teams in Under 9 through Under 19 in both boys and girls. Tryouts for the various age divisions are typically held in February and March of each year.
Beginning in 2014, although we will still consider applications for a competitive team on the ridge and will continue to support any currently formed competitive teams, the club will encourage competitive level players and coaches to partner in with Chico Cal, so that they have the best possible competitive experience.

Oh Toujou you delightfully aloof badass. Guess he's too cool for Zen's aerobic classes. Shame on the demons for using cheat codes, only the lowest of the low do that wink wink. Himekawa's got something up his sleeve and I think it's gonna win them the game. Dude is a great mental battler.
Baby Beel's dark side throwing Oga for a loop was unexpected. I can't really see baby violence being shown so I'll wait to see how they get themselves out of this one. I think Baby Beel should use the force and jack up his lighting wails.

Last week Emery played Richfield in region 12 tennis action and lost a close match 3-2. After having been swept the last time these two teams had played, Emery played well in the narrow loss.
First single Stevie Feuers won her match 7-6 and 6-2. First doubles team of Melanie Frisbie and Gabby Guymon won their match 6-2, 4-6 and 6-0.
Second doubles team of Marqui Moss and Anna Turner barely lost as they won the first game 6-4, lost the second game on a tiebreaker at 5-7 and then lost the final match 3-6. Second single Tonya Higbee and third singles Keisha Holmes each also barely lost. Higbee's scores were 3-6, 3-6 and Holmes was 4-6, 3-6.
The team traveled to St. George last weekend and played good tennis against some bigger squads. Emery defeated Wasatch 4-1 and then lost to 5-A Northridge 2-3 and to 4-A Stansbury Park 2-3. Emery's second doubles team of Moss and Turner won their match against each of those three schools as they had a good tournament. Emery also played defending state champion Desert Hills and lost.
Emery will host North Sanpete this Tuesday in Castle Dale and will then travel to Manti this Thursday. The following week, Manti will host all region 12 teams plus all 3-A region 9 teams to the year-end multi regional tournament. This will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 29 and 30.

It was a surprising night in the ballroom!
It's the "official halfway point" in the season, noted Dancing With the Stars co-host Brooke Burke-Charvet at the start of Monday's show.
She went on to explain that Week 6 would bring an extra challenge for the remaining eight competitors — a "Switch Up" improv dance in which the music would be randomly switched up for extra judges' points.
But before the dancing was done and the results announced, Ariana Grande and Mika performed their Popular Song.
Leah Remini was the low scorer last week. Would she survive the night?
Here's how the stars stacked up with judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli — in their individual dances and during the improv dance — before Celeb No. 5 was sent packing.
Elizabeth Berkley and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy wowed the judges by showcasing her sexy Showgirls side in a sizzling cha cha. Berkley cried in rehearsals recalling "hard" times in the industry trying to get jobs after that 1995 film. The dance was more sparkly and sexy than it was a high-energy Latin number. Bruno told her: "You've still got it, big time! ... You just killed it." Carrie Ann called her a "white panther" and said she "loved" it. Len raved, too. "Your hips, whoa!" Scores: 10, 10, 10 = 30 + 2 = 32
Amber Riley said she "hit a wall" this week. "I cried a lot," she said, explaining that she found the samba to be a particularly tough dance. You'd never know it from watching them on the dance floor. Sporting a knee brace, she shook and swayed along with her shirtless partner Derek Hough, who was on his toes and slinking and thrusting all over the place. The crowd loved it. Bruno said he kept looking for something wrong, but found nothing. "You did everything!" Carrie Ann said "it was like a turn-on!" Len, dubbing himself the party pooper, said it was a "fantastic routine" but "found it a tad repetitive." He was booed, big time. Scores: 10, 8, 10 = 28 + 4 = 32
Brant Daugherty worried that if Christina Milian was sent home after scoring a 10 last week, he was doomed. "It makes me nervous, knowing I'm not nearly as famous as she is. I really have to step it up a notch." He and partner Peta Murgatroyd welcomed Pretty Little Liars co-star Janel Parrish, who stopped by to be supportive, as they rehearsed. Their tango was fierce and sexy. Len raved, calling it a "glass of dry white wine — sharp, crisp and tasty." Bruno loved the "aggression," but cited a "couple of stumbles." Carrie Ann said she agreed with both of the other judges. She loved his technique but said, yes, he got a little bit off the music. But otherwise he was a "perfect dancing Ken doll." Scores: 9, 10, 9 = 28 + 3 = 31
Snooki's foxtrot had to be classy. "I feel like a frog!" she said during rehearsals. "I want to do really good so maybe I can get a 10," she said. Wearing yellow and dancing to Build Me Up Buttercup, she and parter Sasha Farber pulled off a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers feel. Said Len, "What's not to like?!" Bruno said she had "never been so sweet or so elegant." Carrie Ann said she was "graceful." Scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27 + 3 = 30
Leah Remini continued to moan and groan and feel bad about her dancing skills, despite partner Tony Dovolani reminding her, "You have improved every single week!" Leah was hard on herself as they rehearsed their quickstep. Then her "friend" Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart stopped by to watch her. "Jennifer reminded me that this is supposed to be fun." Leah kind of forgot that when she performed, keeping a serious look on her face as she focused on the performance. But the focus paid off. Carrie Ann liked it. Len quibbled about not staying in hold enough but liked it. Bruno said, "No more crying for you." Scores: 9, 9, 9 = 27 + 1 = 28
Jack Osbourne had a hard time harnessing his inner Robert De Niro to play the part of a raging bull for his paso doble. "If I have to become an arrogant matador, so be it." Swinging a red cape over his head and stomping the floor, he gave it a valiant effort. Mom Sharon, wife Lisa and sister Kelly were in the crowd cheering him on. Carrie Ann liked the "intensity" but said he was thrown off his timing a bit. Len thought it was "top notch," except for one small misstep. Bruno said his timing "wasn't as good as usual," adding that he needs to be "crotch forward."Scores: 8, 9, 8 = 25 + 2 = 27
Corbin Bleu danced an unconventional Viennese waltz to the Game of Thrones theme song. "It's just so freaking cool," said Bleu, adding that it's his favorite show. "I don't think I've ever seen Corbin this excited before," said his partner Karina Smirnoff. Dancing shirtless and sporting a long ponytail, Bleu gave a fiercely elegant performance. Bruno didn't like his lines, saying he was "playing it like Conan the Barbarian." Carrie Ann thought it "worked." Len liked the "lyrical movement" of it, but criticized the lack of ballroom hold. "I'm just glad you didn't go with the red wedding tango," cracked host Tom Bergeron. Scores: 8, 7, 8 = 23 + 4 = 27
Bill Engvall's partner Emma Slater told him they'd be dancing to "Beef Burgers in Paradise by Jimmy Buffet." Engvall corrected the title and the pronunciation of Buffett. She said, "The music doesn't speak tango," so it was a particular challenge. "It's more me," said Engvall, "beers on the beach." He added, "Get ready for a redneck tango." Len loved it, calling it "sharp and tangy." Bruno said it was a bit "cheesy" on the bottom, saying Bill lost his step at times. Carrie Ann called it a "strangely odd combination of humor and passion." Engvall joked that "Jimmy Buffett may not be happy." Scores: 8, 8, 7 = 23 (Bruno was soundly booed.) + 1 = 24
Bill was at the bottom when the dance competitions ended, but would he be sent home?
It came down to Jack Osbourne and Bill Engvall.
Jack was deemed safe, but then — WHAT?! — Bill and Emma were deemed safe, too!
Tom Bergeron explained that incorrect phone numbers were shown on the air last week, "so in fairness" the votes were thrown out and the show decided not to eliminate anyone this week. Everyone was safe to dance next week!

Can anybody confirm this tidbit from a Conservative Party press release hailing the governor for his veto on the education tax credit?
Michael R. Long, State Chairman of the New York State Conservative Party stated that the Party "firmly believes that the parents of school age children are entitled to tax-relief if they are spending the money on educational needs. The language of the legislature was non-specific so parents could spend it on anything, including basketball, pizza or ipods."
It seemed to me that the language was non-specific so that parents could use the credit for tutoring and other outside educational resources they may need for their children.

The Holy Seven Maccabee Children, Solomone Their Mother, and Eleazar Their Teacher
The Gospel according to Matthew 10:16-22
The Lord said to his disciples, "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved."

circulatory system
Introductioncirculatory system, group of organs that transport blood and the substances it carries to and from all parts of the body. The circulatory system can be considered as composed of two parts: the systemic circulation, which serves the body as a whole except for the lungs, and the pulmonary circulation, which carries the blood to and from the lungs. The organs of circulatory system consist of vessels that carry the blood and a muscular pump, the heart, that drives the blood.
Of the vessels, the arteries carry blood away from the heart; the main arterial vessel, the aorta, branches into smaller arteries, which in turn branch repeatedly into still smaller vessels and reach all parts of the body. Within the body tissues, the vessels are microscopic capillaries through which gas and nutrient exchange occurs (see respiration). Blood leaving the tissue capillaries enters converging vessels, the veins, to return to the heart and lungs. The human heart is a four-chambered organ with a dividing wall, or septum, that separates it into a right heart for pumping blood from the returning veins into the lungs and a left heart for pumping blood from the lungs to the body via the aorta.
An auxiliary system, the lymphatic system, is composed of vessels that collect lymph from body tissues. Carried to converging vessels of increasing size, the lymph enters the thoracic duct and is emptied into a large vein near the heart.

Minerva Crowe has not received any gifts yet
I cannot believe the Symposium is only a few short days away! Hopefully you are still interested in meeting up while we are both there. If so, kind Lady, please do not hesitate to aether mail me privately so that I may give you the code in which to communicate via a hand-held aether typing device.
My Dear Mrs Crowe,
Thank you for the kind offer of friendship which I most heartily accept. I look forward to meeting both you and your husband sometime in the near future. Till then Ma'am, a very pleasant day to you both.*with a tip of the big black hat*
Dearest Mrs. Crowe,
You are most kind in your request for friendship, which I accept with all gusto! Staggeringly decent of you to remember me, I hope you both are well. It would also bring me great pleasure to know that tomorrow brings great happiness for you, and with each stride, your spirits are lifted.
Madam. *curtsy* Til we speak again...
How are you, Mrs. Crowe? It's been some time since we've been in contact with each other. What has been keeping you busy?
Hey thank you for the Friend Request, It is an honor and a pleasure. Have
a good evening .
Ms. Crowe, I am so very pleased and earnestly looking forward to meeting both you and Mr. Crowe! Are there message boards or some otherway for people find to link up? This is my first Con, and so many things will be new and unknown.
Speaking of first Con . . . I must admit, Dear Lady, that I only have one complete steampunk outfit (the one in my photos), which I suppose one could consider Day Dress; it will likely be worn Saturday. I am assembing a traveling outfit, as I will be motoring south to the Con, and plan to have it on when I arrive Friday. I am only partially pleased with my "ball gown," which needs much work (it's pretty much a long, slim-fitting, pane velvet dress w/2 long panels of material I've attempted to fashion a bustle out of); I am eagerly awaiting the arrivial of my first dress form via post, and intend to remedy the unfavorable parts of the garment by April.
I am not certain my long-winded description helped you in any way, but I can say it got me a bit more organized!
Miss Westinghouse
Dearest Ms.Crowe,
A wise man once said that "form follows function," so it is only right that your up-coming creation should provide you with protection and not just ornamentation. I really must keep that in mind for my next, hmmm . . .
I am pleased, if not somewhat relieved, that Cincinnati has been agreeable to you and Mr. Crowe. I cannot imagine how one could go from living in a place of glorious history and culture, to that of Ohio. I must appear to you a snob, but I feel, as this state is that of my birth, I have first-hand knowledge of its shortcomings.
It would be so lovely to meet you in person at the Symposium! I can see what a tough choice you have ahead. It gladdens me that the spirits have your best interest in mind.
Ms. Westinghouse
Ms. Crowe - it is a pleasure to accept your friend request, considering our mutual fondness of hats; have you created any yourself? I adorned an existing top hat last month and now I am hooked!
Will you and Mr. Crowe attend the Symposium this spring? BTW, where is Loveland, dear?
Welcome to the Empire!

text: Hi. Yes this may seem weird. There are a lot of variations of 12 days of Christmas. I am looking for one that has a long ending. They always really speed up on the 12th day. Are there any that don't speed up at the end. I have a really good idea for something special but I need that whole 12 day nice and slow. Thanks for any help.

Tight ends take another hit: Bills' Chandler injured Sunday
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 27 2014 6:58PM
One full week of practice is over and done with at St. John Fisher College, and with all things considered, the Buffalo Bills haven't been hit too hard by the injury bug through the first seven sessions. The tight end room, however, would beg to differ.
The Bills are already without both Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and Chris Gragg (heat cramps) due to injuries, and the team suffered another one on Sunday with starter Scott Chandler. Last year's leading pass catcher for Buffalo, Chandler had to leave practice in the first hour and did not return at any point. The team announced that the tight end had suffered a groin injury, but any timetable for his return is not immediately clear.
With the third injury to the group, the Bills are now down to two healthy tight ends on their roster in Lee Smith and Dominique Jones, who was just signed by the team on Saturday. Marrone hinted that the team may use some players already on the roster to help out at the spot in the interim, rather than going out and signing another free agent.
One player that could fit into the mold is current fullback Evan Rodriguez, who played tight end both during his college career and at the beginning of his professional career. He has been used exclusively in the backfield as a blocker and receiving option for the team, and is in a battle for that starting position with Frank Summers. Rodriguez is listed as 6-foot-2 and 239-pounds on the team's official roster.
The Bills incurred one other injury during their Sunday practice, having lost wide receiver Kevin Elliott to concussion-like symptoms following a snap during team drills. Elliott ran a post route to the end zone and was wide open, but missed the easy catch. He immediately took his helmet off, walked through the back of the end zone and crouched down as trainers ran over to him.
There could have been some residual effects from the play prior to that one, in which safety Jonathan Meeks laid perhaps the biggest hit of the day on Elliott as he was trying to make a play for the offense. The wideout is battling for one of the final spots available to that position along with the likes of T.J. Graham, Marcus Easley and others.
In addition to Chandler, Moeaki, Gragg and Elliott the Bills also practiced without safety Kenny Ladler, who like Moeaki, suffered a hamstring injury two days ago and hasn't practiced since. Cornerback Leodis McKelvin hasn't taken any snaps during team drills for the past three practices, to which Marrone replied that they were being "smart" with him.
McKelvin had offseason hip surgery and was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list ahead of the start of training camp, which is the reason for the team limiting his snap count during camp. He has since been removed from the PUP list and participated in full through the first four practices of training camp.
The Bills did get the return of one key contributor back to practice. Following a lower body injury sustained on Friday night, running back Fred Jackson was able to get back on the field and took normal repetitions with the team.
The team will get back on the practice field on Monday evening at 6 o'clock. Once again, the session is open to the general public but fans do not need a ticket for entry.

How do I get started in the LVN program?
The best place for you to start is the LVN information packet, which details all requirements to be accepted into the program. Attend an information session; get upcoming dates:
What are the sections required on the HESI test?
We require a minimum score of 70 to 75 on the five sections of the HESI A2 entrance exam.
What about IV certification?
Our program does not currently have a stand-alone IV certification class; it is taught in the nursing programs.
What about VN refresher courses?
VN refresher courses are not included in our credit program. Check each semester's Continuing Education schedule, or call the El Centro Continuing Education division 214-860-2147 to see if one is offered in the semester you are looking for.
What are expected hours? Are night classes and weekend clinicals available?
Our clinicals at present are on weekdays during daytime hours, and do not include night and weekend hours. Some of the institutions which offer these additional hours are much more costly than ours.
What about transferring other college credit into El Centro's VN program?
Please check with an El Centro allied health advisor. Any educational experience you have had would need to be evaluated by our district education specialists; they will request the course numbers and catalog descriptions of the courses you wish to transfer.
This may be easier done in person. You can reach our education specialist at 972-860-5003. Please note that in many cases, students have to complete our entire curriculum of classes due to the vast difference from other curriculums.
Can I complete prerequisites in summer and still apply for Fall?
No. The deadline for applying to our program with complete qualified applications is May 31 each year before the coming fall semester. You must have prerequisites completed with a 3.0 GPA before applying to the program.
What if I've been out of nursing practice for many years or am coming from another state?
It may be as simple as a refresher with appropriate documentation of your completed program and transcript or perhaps taking a full program and the board exam for Texas. Please check with an El Centro allied health advisor.

The Brumbies opened their 2013 account with an impressive 24-6 victory over Australian conference rivals the Reds on Saturday.
The Brumbies opened their Super Rugby account with a solid 24-6 win over Australian conference rivals the Reds in Canberra on Saturday.
It wasn't pretty, in fact at times it was down right ugly.
But in the end, the Brumbies got the job done and it was a case of sweet revenge for the men from the Aussie capital after bowing out of last year's competition following their defeat to the Queenslanders.
Brumbies full-back Jesse Mogg bagged two tries and kicked two penalties for the home side, ending the match with a personal haul of 16 points.
The Reds, however, were kept try-less thanks to the Brumbies' rock-solid defence and could only manage two penalties through Mike Harris in the first half.
It was Harris who opened up the scoring early on in this dour encounter, before Mogg put his side in front after collecting Nic White's grubber kick to score in the corner. Christian Lealiifano was unable to add the extras from far out, and struggled to find his target with his first penalty shot soon after.
Harris – who had also been misfiring at goal – eventually landed his second penalty that saw the visitors lead for a short while, until White took over the goal-kicking for the Brumbies to help his team-mates to a slender 8-6 advantage at the break.
The scrappy encounter didn't get any better, but Brumbies fans weren't complaining as Ben Mowen's troops kept themselves ahead with two futher penalties from Mogg.
With the Reds needing to score twice to win and time running out, White then sealed the deal for his team with his second penalty of the night 40m out.
Looking for a consolation score, the Reds attacked from inside their 22 only for Mogg to intercept and hammer the final nail in the Queenslanders' coffin with a last-minute try.
The scorers:
For Brumbies:
Try: Mogg 2
Con: Prior
Pen: White 2, Mogg 2
For Reds:
Pen: Harris 2
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen, 7 David Pocock, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Ruaidhri Murphy, 18 Colby Faingaa, 19 Fotu Auelua, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Joseph Tomane, 22 Robbie Coleman.
Reds: 15 Mike Harris, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Aidan Toua, 12 Ben Tapuai, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Ben Lucas, 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Eddie Quirk, 5 Rob Simmons, 4 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 3 James Slipper (c), 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 Albert Anae, 17 James Hanson, 18 Ed O'Donoghue, 19 Jarrad Butler, 20 Nick Frisby, 21 Jono Lance, 22 Chris F'Sautia.
Referee: Andrew Lees (Australia)

April 16 2013 06:48PM
With a new GM on the hot seat, you know this Edmonton Oiler roster will not stay the same. Who goes? Hall? Uh, no. Ebs? Get real. The Nuge? Sure--center's a strong spot on the roster---NOT! Not Hall, not Nuge, not Ebs not Schultz not........YAK CITY?
Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts are a "must read" this week for Oiler fans--there's a lot of things to think about for the fanbase in Friedman's article--and it's likely that some of the verbal laid down is actually being mulled over in Oiler offices where the big chairs sit.
- Friedman: One stat the organization is very concerned about: Their average shot differential (minus-5.8) is worst in the NHL.
We've talked about this through the winter--especially in regard to that 2nd line led by Sam Gagner and Ales Hemsky. The LW's on that line have been Nail Yakupov and Magnus Paajarvi, and I think the exit ramp this summer probably involves one of those 4 names.
If we're betting on which of these men are likely to be sent away, I'll suggest the chances are as follows:
- 40% Sam Gagner. Smaller skill center with tons of talent, Oilers decision to give him a one year deal last year makes him a tough signing this year (they will be buying free agent seasons).
- 25% Nail Yakupov. I don't see it, trading a #1 overall this early means you have to be absolutely certain he isn't going to turn into a franchise player. I don't think we know yet.
- 25% Ales Hemsky. A very skilled winger with excellent skill could be the cornerstone for a deal with a team willing to take on a player with an expiring contract. The value will be less due to the contract, though.
- 10% Magnus Paajarvi. He's this low because I don't think his value is enough to bring back what Edmonton needs. Besides, he could end up being that very effective forward Edmonton is looking for right now.
The headliner from Friedman is this item:
3. Yakupov: This is purely my opinion, but I think Edmonton would listen to a massive offer. It's nothing against the player, it's more about circumstance. To get quality, you have to give up quality. If MacTavish really wants to make a bold, aggressive move, this is the name on the roster that fits. But the trade would have to be spectacular.
At some level it makes sense--the Oilers were apparently a house divided when it came to choosing Yak City number one, but in another way it's pure scandal. Trading a number one overall pick means MacT is very likely trading the best player in the deal, and that is not a good way to step into a relationship with a rabid fanbase.
- Friedman on Gagner: My belief is the Oilers would like to sign Gagner, but their past reluctance to do it gives him the leverage. He's a talented centre one year away from unrestricted free agency at age 24. Here is what the Oilers could do, though. He becomes a restricted free agent this summer. Other teams can talk to him. If one can work out a new contract, is there a trade to be made? If not, Edmonton matches and controls him. Gagner's value provides incentive for a willing partner to work out something. What mix of players/picks/prospects would a team be interested in dealing for a signed Gagner?
I am very much a fan of Gagner, but not this contract situation (not signing him long term last summer, clearly a mistake) and they've boxed themselves in a little. It doesn't mean they will trade him, but it's an option that would not be in the mix had the club signed him long term and reasonable.
Friedman's points are well taken and I do understand there's a sense of urgency to get better. However, there's also a little concern about a new GM sending out first overall picks, and I think Craig MacTavish framed that issue beautifully in the PC yesterday.
There ARE alternatives. A low risk option like Viktor Stalberg might fit, or perhaps Raffi Torres (who remains an effective player) could come in and help the group. Should the Oilers choose, the might also take a run at Nathan Horton.
I expect that old phrase "it's lonely at the top" is true, and that Craig MacTavish--despite his stated impatience--will find a lot of GMs offering 50 cents on the dollar for his gifted Jacks and Kings. A smart bet would be a secondary signing like Torres, a defenseman like Streit and a solid backup goaltender. It might not look sexy in summer, but smart, smaller additions are the route to take with this roster.
Steve Tambellini didn't get fired because of Hall, Nuge, Eberle, Yak City or Schultz the younger. He got fired because the role players were so bad they gave back all of the good things done by the kids.
Craig MacTavish found role players with top picks (Dan Cleary), guys picked at the draft after the suits went home (Pisani, Brodziak) and guys who had experienced waivers (Marty Reasoner).
I have faith he can find those players again without moving Yak City.
April 18 2013, 08:25AM
Hall and Yak are the only 2 i have seen skate the last 6 games that give a crap. Kid has passion.
April 20 2013, 12:26AM
If the Oil trade Yaks, thats the day I start cheering for the Flames, Thats the the worst F-ING thing I've herd since the Gretzky trade. Bunch of F-in idiots, it will never happen, give your head a shake you F-N idiots. Think outside of the box.
