College Admissions: How To Keep From Choosing The Wrong College
Monday, March 23, 2015
Beware of Student Gossip
The old adage "bad news travels faster than good news" is especially true with regard to colleges. Be wary of online sites that host bitter student reviews. Few happy students have the time or the inclination to go on and post a positive review. Also, take the gossip in your high school or neighborhood with a grain of salt when someone leaves a college. Look instead at the overall statistics; do not make a judgment based on one individual. For a great guide centered around hundreds of student surveys and interviews, I recommend The Insider's Guide to the Colleges by The Yale Daily News. It only reviews about 300 colleges and universities in the country, but it does a terrific job of giving insight into campus life, course rigor, professor access and the surrounding community.
Spend the Night
I highly recommend that students do an overnight visit at their top choice colleges before making a final decision. The admissions office at most smaller colleges will help facilitate this, but at larger institutions, you may need to network with friends and family to find an existing student to host you for the night. Go to classes on a Friday and then check out the "on campus" and "off campus" social scene. This real life experience will give you a valuable feel for the flavor of the student body and the quality of the classes and professors.
Majors and Courses
Some seniors will have a good idea of what they want to major in. If so, take a deeper dive into the courses offered, professor credentials, and internships or research opportunities. Remember that course catalogs are VERY deceiving. They usually contain every course taught in the last 5 years (or that may be taught in the next 5 years). It does not mean that those courses are taught every year. For a more accurate understanding of the classes that you will have to choose from in your major, call the department and ask for a course list for this year and next year. If you are a student who is undecided on a major, carefully consider the breadth of offerings at your potential colleges and make sure they line up with your interests.
Review the Data
There are some important statistics that parents and students should review before choosing a college. These are readily available on Web sites like www.collegeboard.com or www.collegedata.com. The first one that I look at is "students returning for sophomore year" - this is a key indicator of how happy students are at a college and the support they receive. If a college has below a 70% return rate, I get concerned. The next data point I suggest you review is the "4 year graduation rate". While nationally this is quite low (many students take 5-6 years to graduate), you should know what the likelihood is that your costs will extend beyond 4 years. Another item that can be important to students who wish to pursue an advanced degree is "percent of students going on to graduate school". The one published statistic that I find suspicious is "percent of students finding full-time employment within 12 months of graduation." Given the poor economy, I think the high numbers reported by many schools are hard to swallow. Lastly, families should investigate the economic health of a college, including the endowment fund and state of the physical campus. In 2010, approximately 150 colleges in the U.S. failed the US Department of Education's test of financial stability.
Related Slideshow: RI 4 Year Colleges & Universities with the Highest Student Debt
Seven in 10 college seniors (71%) who graduated last year had student loan debt, with an average of $29,400 per borrower, according to a new report released by the Institute for College Access and Success. According to the Institute's Project on Student Debt, Rhode Island has the fifth highest student debt in the country, but what about the state's individual institutions? Check out the slides below to see the average debt graduates accrued at Rhode Island colleges and universities.
Note: All data is based on four-year or above institutions for students graduating in the 2011-2012 academic year. Johnson and Wales University and the Rhode Island School of Design are not included in the data below, because they did not report the average debt of their graduates.

| The Top 10 Tips Small Business Owners Should Consider When Choosing An Accounting Software PackageChoosing the right accounting software package is a hard task for anyone, especially small business owners
Choosing the right accounting software package is a hard task for anyone, especially small business owners. What's right for other business owners may not be compatible with your small business. That's why we've come up with the top ten tips you should consider when choosing an accounting software package. These are sure to make your job simpler and less time consuming, so you can get on with running your business. When looking at software options make sure your accounting package can help you: 1. Keep your GST records in order: Most small businesses are required to report on GST via submitting a Business Activity Statement every month or quarter. This at times can be an exhausting job. Your accounting software package should be able to help you keep adequate records to ensure you fulfil this requirement painlessly and efficiently. 2. Create and send out invoices: Making sure you are invoicing customers correctly should be a top priority. An accounting software package should be able to help you chose, customise and implement the right invoice template for your business. It should also calculate, print, email, and record invoices and credit notes to your satisfaction, keeping all invoice management centralised. 3. Record payroll for employees and vendors: The task of paying employees and vendors can be gruelling and at times lengthy but it is a must for every small business to stay on top of. Your accounting software should help you set up an efficient payroll, pay, edit, print, and email payslips. The right software should make things easier for you, not harder! 4. Track the current status of your business: Tracking the status of your business is especially important in today's continuously changing and growing market. Weekly sales, expenses, money owed, what you are getting in and out are all relevant aspects of a business that a good accounting software package will be able to help you monitor closely. 5. Track Your Inventory: Inventory is a vital component of your business, and ensuring you're up to date with stocks and purchases is imperative. Your accounting software should help you keep track of your stock levels, products and sales through a manageable and adjustable list that monitors this in real time for you. 6. Manage Time Sheets and Billing: Calculating time sheets and time billing is not always fun, however, it is a central component of running your own small business. A good accounting software package will be able to help you bill customers for time spent via a timesheet feature that will calculate multiple rates and costs, and auto create invoices from the timesheet. 7. Integrate your Online Systems: Ensuring all your financial records are combined make calculating costs and expenses more manageable. A good software package should be able to integrate your accounting records with other accounts such as PayPal. This allows for auto-payments, purchases and invoices to be managed centrally. 8. Provide Detailed Financial Reports: Preparing financial reports should be easy but more than often it becomes a hard task. Your accounting software should be able to produce multiple reports and charts, be able to customise reports to suit the small business owner and be able to schedule weekly reports to be sent to specific emails, saving you time and effort. 9. Manage Finances: Accounting for what you do with your money and where it goes is something all business owners should monitor and keep records for. A good software package will help you do this by tracking the spending, transferring and depositing of money. It should also have tools that connect to the company register as well as online records. 10. Customer Management: We all know that satisfying your customers is the single most important thing in a business. Without customers, what business you have? Your accounting software package should include tools and features that help you track and monitor customer relations and touch points as well as create charts suited for each individual. This will ensure that you know each of your clients needs and wants on an individual level and you are able to sufficiently identify how you have managed each client. These are just a few tips that should be taken into consideration when choosing the right accounting software package for your small business. After all, every business is different and should have the right software catered to their individual needs, so don't settle for less! End

Good stuff . . . honestly until a day or so ago I kind of thought (and still question) if a cruise would be my type of thing since my wife and I are not big drinkers/party animals (well I just look like a yeti), but based on some folks' opinions here and in talking with my brother-in-law I might reconsider . . . plus I didn't know that such a thing could be done so cheaply.
So does anyone have any opinions on the various cruise lines???
Oh yeah . . . DKFox . . . you're hired as my travel agent!

Everything about the NFL Draft is subjective. The selection of one player over another is little more than an educated guess, and even teams that have drafted the best players of all time are victim of taking some of the worst.
How do you measure it over the course of time?
DraftMetrics.com, a site written by Tony Villiotti, a self-professed "retired old geezer with plenty of time on his hands," is also a self-professed Steelers fan.
His piece on the last five and 10 years of the NFL Draft looks to put some science behind the art of player selection.
Weighting four categories, Villiotti ranks each team's overall draft success from 2003 to present and 2008 to present.

A Good Starting Place in DirectX
A Good Starting Place in DirectX
Aug 11, 2013 at 6:48am UTC
I've been able to find several free tutorials and even a couple of free books on DirectX9, but almost nothing on D11, so I'm curious; if I start out learning DirectX9 would DirectX11 still follow the same rules and just have some improvements, or are the changes so large that I should just skip DirectX9 and just go straight for 11?
How much backwards compatibility is there? (would a program that I write for 9 still work in 10 or 11?)

I'll field this one--
DirectX 9 was the first iteration of DirectX which allowed for a programmable pipeline (using the shading language called "High Level Shading Language" or HLSL for short). Because this was a burgeoning technology at the time, most references you find will be fairly sparse on using it and, especially for beginners, will likely spend the majority of their time on using the Fixed Pipeline (which avoided this new shading language and simply allowed you to toggle settings).
Fast forward to DX11. In the wake of more advanced GPUs, the burden of handling shading has largely become a runtime compilation event. Shading Languages such as HLSL have grown from "a potentially valuable approach" to the only approach. DX11 has completely stripped out the Fixed Pipeline, expecting users to master the basics of HLSL and trusting that the performance and optimization gains are worth it. You can imagine how this might crimp your ability to transfer from 9 to 11.
TL;DR -- DX9's common approach to shading doesn't exist in 11, you'll probably end up relearning it.
For even more fun "WTF have I gotten myself into" here's a migration list to see just what changed:

Thanks for the link and the explanation, both answered my questions very well. I guess I'll be tossing the old books to the side and updating my library.

Topic tags/keywords: lathe problems skew turning So quick background…. I have a reliant midi beginner lathe, a midi 14" t. h. witherby turning set and some mini hss detail tools. The catches I make are because of specific things I'm doing, I realize though I need more detail. angle of entry angle of grind in relation angle of rotation in relation of the first to, and so on. P.S. I was doing fine for a while and making steady progress and then I had to take a few days off and it seems like I lost some of that progression hence the post. Anybody experience this? |

I experience exactly that every time I touch my lathe. I seldom do anything on it. I mostly scroll. I bought my lathe because it was something I wanted to learn. Well, because I don't use it much, it seems everytime I do, I kind of have to relearn things such as chisel angle, pressure, things like that. It does get easier and less of a headache the more I do this. So I guess in the end it is just a matter of practice, practice, practice. |

I could be off the mark here but I think the problem might be that you are over thinking the process. Videos and instruction are very useful, but sometimes they can steer you towards focusing your energy towards thinking about angles, direction, degrees, etc. From my experience so far, work on the lathe is a "feeling" process. When I first started, my hands were tight on the chisel, I was trying to focus on just the perfect angle, and I had many catches, gouges, marks on my pieces. After awhile, I got to the point where I could just feel my way to better cuts. Slow entry into the piece, a little play to get the angle where the chisel just felt good on the piece. My hands are much more relaxed now and I make slight adjustments on the fly. David -- There is little that is simple when it comes to making a simple box. |

Amen to David. Every piece of wood is going to turn differently, every time you sharpen a tool it will handle differently, every time you wake up you're going to feel differently, and therefore every time you turn on the lathe you'll get a little different result. Stop concentrating on the minutiae of turning, enjoy the experience, and as David says, "Let it flow". You'll enjoy much more success, have more fun, and experience much less frustration. Relax.

Long time turner here. I agree with David and Fussy for the most part that you may be overthinking it. However with that said, technique and experience does matter. The problem with discussing turning in a forum like this is that turning has, literally, an infinite number of variables (which is why it is important to learn how to "feel" what your tool and the piece is doing at any one moment, you'll only get that from experience and a lot of fancy firewood). Turning falls into two categories generally, face turning and spindle turning. Both categories use different tools, different set ups, and different techniques – and for the most part those things aren't interchangable. For example, you could use a 1.5" roughing gouge to rapidly shape a bedpost blank to round during spindle turning, but using the same tool for face turning into end grain will result in a violent catch and could even result in broken knuckles and a damaged machine (don't ask me how I know this). You didn't say what, exactly, technique you were attempting, but I'm guessing from your references to "catches" and "curves" that you were trying to learn how to use a skew for spindle shaping. Skew techniques are often the most difficult to master for a new turner. Skew technique depends on a number of variables, such as type of skew (traditional, oblique, oval, etc), how it's ground, its sharpness, the angle of attack and rotation, the hardness and grain of of the wood, speed of rotation, and so on. Some skews are easier to learn than others. I recommend a .75" oval skew for beginners. And for myself, I prefer the Beecham skewchigouge, which is an incredibly versitile tool, is almost impossible to catch, and lets you do some pretty amazing spindle shaping. I dislike the traditional skew and rarely use one. Learning to use a traditional (angle) skew is difficult without a hands on mentor, but not impossible. It just takes practice, patience, and a lot of throw-away blanks to practice on. When I teach kids, I rip old 2×4's into 1×1x12 blanks and let them go to town. More than anything, you need to learn how to grind and sharpen a skew correctly, that will go a long, long way toward reducing catches. Send me a private message via the forum if you want more info and I'll see if I can walk you through it. -- Jim Wright, Stonekettle Station |

First Thank you guys so much for your responses, I'm always grateful to get good advice from those who are more experienced than me. A quick note to Stonekettle : Yes, I am spindle turning and I'm using a rectangular shaped skew with all four corners rounded(one step further than Alan recommends in the dvd) with a slight curvature to the tip. The skew has a taper in thickness from where it comes from the tang to the tip. I practice in Oak, cherry, walnut, maple, ipe, mahogany, and pine. I find that when practicing in oak for a while and then moving to cherry or walnut or maple control becomes much easier as the cuts are, for lack of a better terminology, "creamier" Anyway my catching point(pun intended) is in tapering and on rolling cuts. |

"The cakes tasted wonderful and I was impressed with the replica of my dress, but there were supposed to be fondant flowers on my cake and there were none. I paid for them and didn't get them. I would still recommend the bakery because of the quality of the cakes and the value you get for what you pay, I'm just still a little upset that the flowers were missing from my cake."

"Colby was an amazing DJ and MC for our wedding! He had the perfect personality for our event and I was so impressed by the music he played at our reception. I literally never left the dance floor that night! There are plenty of people I didn't talk to because I was so busy dancing!! Colby is professional and has a real passion for his business, that was evident every time we talked. We received numerous compliments on Colby after the wedding. I'm hoping there will be an event in the future that I can book him for again!!"
I Love Flowers

"This was the hardest thing for me to accomplish in planning my wedding. I went to 4 different florists in Dallas and had quotes all over the board. It was a nightmare!! I went to I Love Flowers and knew immediately I had made the right choice! Karen was WONDERFUL!!! She showed me the kinds of flowers that I wanted and all the bouquets turned out so beautiful, I couldn't have been happier than choosing I Love Flowers!"

"I wish I could Laura and the staff at Fairy Tale Photography more than 5 stars, they were so wonderful!! Laura is the absolute best, she truly loves her job and it is evident in the photos that she takes. I have many many many wonderful photos from my wedding day that didn't cost me an arm and a leg thanks to Laura! Not only is she a great photographer but she is a wonderful person and very helpful on your wedding day! Laura took care of buttoning me into my wedding dress when my bridesmaids couldn't manage! She got all the guys flowers pinned on when no one else could! I ran out of time before the wedding and didn't take my bridal portrait until the Wednesday before my Saturday wedding. Laura had my photo at my house on Friday before the wedding, that's going way above and beyond what I hired her to do!"
Wedding Fashion Vendor:
Patsy's Bridal Boutique
4244 Oak Lawn AvenueDallas, TX, United States
"After going to 4 different bridal boutiques in the Dallas area I was so impressed with Patsy's! They have a smaller inventory so it's not completely overwhelming when you walk in the door like every other bridal boutique I went to. Everyone is super friendly and very knowledgeable."
Level Two
703 McKinney AveDallas, TX, United States
"Level Two was WONDERFUL! It had just the right atmosphere for the type of reception that we wanted. Jim was easy to work with when it came to the food. He caters for the venue himself and he doesn't overcharge at all! We had a wonderful reception with an amazing atmosphere and great food!"

/// Take-Two Interactive Reports Wider Loss but Upbeat Outlook
October 29, 2013 | All Things Digital
Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. posted a wider loss in its fiscal second quarter, with lower revenue and higher operating expenses straining the videogame maker's results. The company, though, issued upbeat guidance for the current quarter and raised its full-year outlook. The unadjusted results for the most recent period didn't include the revenue and cost impact of the company's best-selling "Grand Theft Auto V," which was released two weeks before the quarter ended and whose online edition came out on the first day of the fiscal third quarter.

Those Who Dig Gadgets Make Better Leaders
A recent online study took 25,000 American adults and found that the ones who purchased a lot of techie products tended to score higher in the traits of leadership, dynamism, and assertiveness. The research, done by a collaboration between Mindset Media and Nielsen Online, found that it is not just based on age and gender. We know that you have been telling people this for years and, by the way, the study also concluded that another trait found in the same group of people was a lack of modesty.

Khloe Kardashian gives health update: The quarantine is over
Reality star Khloe Kardashian contracted a Staph infection during the time she was at her estranged husband Lamar Odom's bedside as he began the recovery process. Now, she is giving us all an update on her condition.
The Staph infection kept her housebound for a few days, but it appears that she has been given the green light to leave her place. She shared her health update on Twitter, telling fans: "I'm so blessed I'm doing better and my infection is healing. I was able to be out and about today… Quarantine is over lol".
It sounds like all is well with her now that she is on the road to recovery. A fan replied to Khloe's status update to comment that she made no mention of Lamar or his children, to which Khloe said, "what type of mention would you like".
Another follower asked about Lamar's condition and she responded, "thank you! Every day is really hard and incredibly emotionally draining. But every day is another day that I'm thankful for."
And there you have it!

micro-swt is a micro-libgcj -compatible version of the Eclipse Project's SWT. It is based on the latest release (as of this writing) of that toolkit, 3.2, and is currently supported on the same platforms as micro-libgcj: Linux (i386 and amd64), OS X (i386 and PPC), and Windows (i386).
micro-swt allows you to create relatively lightweight standalone GUI applications using a proven toolkit. Since micro-swt is based on CNI instead of JNI, performance is outstanding, and standard tools such as GDB are available for debugging and profiling.
For an example of a small micro-swt application, consider ControlExample, one of the demo applications available from the Eclipse web site. This demo features all of the major widgets provided by SWT and therefore gives a rough indication of the size overhead incurred by micro-swt and micro-libgcj. A standalone version of this demo ranges from 2.3MB (Win32) to 3.3MB (Linux/AMD64), which can be further reduced to about 800KB and 1MB, respectively, when compressed via UPX.
If you'd like to try out some of the SWT examples built with micro-swt, we've provided the following executables for evaluation. Note that the windows versions require an additional DLL due to technical limitations involving GDI+ and Microsoft's proprietary C++ ABI. Future versions of micro-swt will load this DLL dynamically only if and when GDI+ is used.

I'm thinking of moving to seattle. What's the tennis scene up there like? does the weather permit tennis? Or mostly indoors (rates seem expensive!) Let me know Seattle crew!
Here is a thread to help you out. I am in Seattle business and was able to check out a few tennis facilities: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showthread.php?t=65891&highlight=Seattle * City of Seattle - Amy Yee TC: not much action and was in the ghetto. Outdoor courts were closed to resurfacing, and they have about 4 indoor courts. * Robinswood had some 3.0-3.5 league going on the 4 outdoor courts, and the 4 indoor courts had a big group beginner lesson. * Green Lake Park courts was nice, 4 courts right on the water, no lights though. Some 3.5 action. * Upper Woodland Park courts is right around the corner from Green Lake, 4 courts no lights, some 3.0 action. * Lower Woodland Park courts are your best bet. 8 courts 2x2 all lit late, with lots of 4.0 - 5.0 players. These courts are between the Upper Woodland park courts and the Green Lake courts right next to the gigantic soccer field. . . Good luck and hope this helps . . .
Amy Yee's has ten indoor courts. Robinswood has eight indoor courts. They are the two Seattle public indoor court facilities available. There are also a large number of private indoor facilities. Both Amy Yee and Robinswood have active league teams. The weather is generally very good from June through October. The rest of the year is pretty iffy. The winter months are tough because days are pretty short and there's a lot of drizzle during those cold months.
be sure to make your voice heard in the TW pacific northwest chapter thread in the odds and ends section!!! we need more members
thanks for responses so far. I'm looking for play in a ladder with at least 3.5 to 4.0 people. Also league play would be awesome. I'll check out the PNW TW thread.
Here's a list of USTA affiliated facilities: http://www.pnw.usta.com/aboutus/custom.sps?iType=1354&icustompageid=2854 Amy Yee and Robinswood both have active league teams, and with one in Seattle and one on the Eastside, you're pretty well covered from just these two facilities. You do know about the housing prices here, right? If not, sit down before you start looking! Good luck.
If you're near the U-district (University of Washington), you can also play at the Nordstrom tennis center and the courts outside of the UW IMA (intramural activities center or something like that). Thats where the UW tennis team plays sometimes also when the weather is nice. This is pretty close to the woodland courts, which is just across the freeway from UW.

It happens to me every time, every time I buy a game and almost all of the DLC, that game gets released with all the DLC including a bunch of other things for the same price I paid for the standalone game or even less than I paid with in a year or so.
But this time around I am not even a little bit mad, because today Volition, Inc. announced Saints Row: The Third The Full Package. Saints Row: The Third The Full Package will be available for purchase in the US on November 6, 2012, and internationally on November 9, 2012 for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and Windows PC for the low price of $49.99.
Here is what you will get if you purchase Saints Row: The Third The Full Package:
The premiere edition of Saints Row: The Third – The Full Package includes the award-winning, critically-acclaimed, almost universally lauded Saints Row: The Third; the three downloadable mission packs Genkibowl VII, Gangstas In Space, and The Trouble With Clones; and more than 30 bonus DLC items from such hits as the Shark Attack pack, Witches & Wieners pack, Special Operations pack, and the Genki Girl Vehicle pack. With every weapon, every vehicle, and every outfit ever created for Saints Row: The Third, players will go over the top, off the reservation, and to places where no decent game should go.
So if you waited to pick up Saints Row: The Third you are in luck and even if you were on the fence about this one I suggest you buy this one as it is not just a great deal but a pretty awesome game.

Ridall, P. G. and Henderson, R. H. and Pettitt, A. N. (2009) Bayesian analysis of the stimulus–response curve. In: Motor Unit Number Estimation (MUNE) and Quantitative EMG. Elsevier, pp. 47-56. ISBN 978-0-444-52909-1
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
In this paper we present our Bayesian method for carrying out motor unit number estimation (MUNE) using stimulus–response data collected from surface electrophysiological recordings. We formulate and justify our assumptions in Ridall et al. (2006) and base these on available scientific evidence, as outlined in the previous paper. The object of our methodology is to express the uncertainty about the number of motor units in a muscle in terms of a posterior distribution. From studies taken over time, these posterior distributions can be used to estimate the rate of loss of motor units. A by-product of this method of MUNE is that it provides a means of tracking a given population of motor units over time. Examples of the parameters that can be tracked over time include the distribution of the excitability parameters, the single motor unit action potentials and the between and within motor unit variability.

Guest blog: photographing snow leopards in the Himalayas by Craig Jones
Kingdom | Animalia |
Phylum | Chordata |
Class | Aves |
Order | Ciconiiformes |
Family | Ardeidae |
Genus | Casmerodius (1) |
The great egret is a large heron which, as an adult, has entirely white plumage with contrasting black feet and long, black legs (3). Colour is added by its bright yellow bill, tipped with black, and the greenish-yellow area between the bill and the eye (3). Like many herons, it has a long neck that is pulled into an 's'-shaped curve when in flight (3). During the breeding season the great egret displays wonderful, elegant plumes on its back, which extend up to ten centimetres past the tail and are used in courtship displays. In these displays, the great egret spreads its plumes out like a fan, rather like a peacock (3). Juvenile great egrets look similar to the adults but without the ornamental breeding plumes (3). The great egret gives a variety of calls, including a low-pitched 'kraak' call that is given in flight, when disturbed, and as a threat call (3).
Within its wetland habitats, the great egret feeds mainly on fish, snakes, amphibians, insects and crustaceans, although on drier land it may also eat lizards, small birds and mammals (4). It feeds most actively at dawn and dusk, when it can often be found waiting motionless at the water's edge until prey comes close enough to catch (3).
Breeding takes place once per year, when the great egret produces a single brood. In temperate regions this takes place in spring or summer, while in tropical regions it may take place at any time of the year (3). The male performs an interesting display to attract a female; this includes stretching the neck, clacking the bill, and erecting the magnificent plumes that develop during the breeding season (7). The great egret may either nest alone or in colonies, which can consist of over 1,000 nests. The nests are made from sticks and are positioned near the water in trees, bushes or reed beds (3). Great egret nestlings regularly kill the youngest of their siblings for food and the parents rarely prevent this from happening (8).
Classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).
During the late 1800s and early 1900s (9), plume hunters were a significant threat to this beautiful bird (4). The great egret was hunted for its spectacular breeding plumes (4) (9), which were in great demand for hat decorations. In the name of fashion, the adults were killed and any eggs in the nest were left to rot, while chicks were fated to starve (9).
Whilst this activity once caused a dramatic drop in population sizes (especially in North America) the great egret is no longer under great threat from hunters (4). Today, a more pressing threat is habitat loss, due to activities such as clearing, grazing, and the drainage of wetlands (5). In Madagascar great egrets are at risk from local people collecting chicks and eggs from nests, which has resulted in a decline in populations in this area (3) (10). Finally, the great egret, along with many other species, may be impacted in the future by the alteration of its preferred habitats as a result of global climate change (11).
The great egret was protected by law from plumage hunters in the 1900s and, as a result, populations managed to re-establish themselves (7) (9). Today, no conservation efforts appear to be in place for this species, but due to the nature of some of the threats the great egret now faces, future conservation actions that focus on the protection of its breeding colonies and preferred habitats may be required (3).

During the last 18 years we have spent our holidays touring Europe and visiting the megalithic sites of Ireland (1989), Scotland (1990 and 1998), Sardinia (1991 and 2001), Southern England (1992), France (1996), Wales (1997 and 2007), Apulia (2000, 2004 and 2007) and Corsica (2000). The Stone Pages went online on 1996, and when we started our seventh "megalithic journey", two years later, we decided to write an online travel diary, sharing with the Internet community our feelings, the pictures and panoramic movies we made and the people we met along our way. Since then, for every tour we made, we always carried a digital camera, a laptop computer and various systems to get connected to the 'net even on the most remote locations, writing a total of 699 webpages of travel diaries, describing 412 megalithic monuments, shooting 243 rolls of film, driving for 21,016 km and filling our car with 1,330 litres of petrol (gasoline). So, thousands of people all over the world virtually took part - almost in real time - to our explorations, and many of them followed in our footsteps. In the future, we would really like (time and money permitting) to organize more tours and publish more online travel diaries. In the next few years we will probably be visiting the prehistoric sites of Spain, Denmark, Portugal, Malta, Holland, Sicily and Valcamonica (Italy). Please remember that we strongly need your support to improve our website - and to allow us to afford new megalithic journeys - so don't forget to visit our shop! | |||||||||
(25 May - 26 July, 1998)
In 1998 we made an extensive tour of 207 Scottish megalithic sites, as a work in coordination with SCRAN: a Millennium project to digitise Scotland's human history and material culture. Our contribution is called Ancient Stones of Scotland: a multimedia essay (CD-ROM and Web site) devoted to the Scottish megaliths. During the 61 days of our Scottish tour, we published an online travel diary, updated in real time, allowing our Internet friends to follow the tour, interact with archaeologists and experts, view images from the journey, and learn about the ancient Scottish people and monuments. The eight weeks we spent in Scotland have been a wonderful experience. The support we received from the Internet community was so strong that it kept us going with the online diary updates even when we were exhausted, after many hours spent visiting megalithic monuments sited in very remote places. | |||||||||
(29 March - 9 April, 2000)
After the Scottish tour, we decided to focus our attention to our own country. Italy is most famous for its Etruscan, Roman and Renaissance monuments and buildings; however, there are lots of more ancient sites - standing stones, dolmens and burial chambers - that have many features in common with similar prehistoric monuments in France and Britain. Apulia, the "heel" of our boot-shaped country, is the Italian region with the highest concentration of such prehistoric monuments. Unfortunately, each year a number of these sites are being destroyed, mainly because they are almost unknown to tourists and the general public - and in some cases because of ignorance by local people. In an effort to make people aware of the importance of this issue and to share with the Internet community the beauty of these ancient monuments, we made a two-week tour, visiting all major prehistoric Apulian sites. | |||||||||
(4 - 17 September, 2000)
On summer of 2000, we decided to make a tour of Corsica: one of the most fascinating and mysterious isles of the Mediterranean sea. Among its many natural and historical beauties are also lots of ancient sites: dolmens, long stone alignments and enigmatic human faces carved on standing stones. Many of these monuments are very difficult to find, but visiting them is definitely worth the effort. As always, you can take the easiest path, following our two-week tour of Corsican ancient sites. | |||||||||
(24 October - 13 November, 2001)
Our latest tour was devoted to Sardinia. We already visited this splendid and enigmatic island back in 1991, and we decided to come back in 2001 because of its great beauty and its incredible collection of megalithic monuments. Among them, the 7,000 ancient towers called "nuraghi" (similar but older than the Scottish "brochs") and the so called "giant's tombs". As in Corsica, the most interesting monuments are sometimes very hard to find, so if you are planning a visit to the ancient Sardinian megaliths, our 20-day tour of Sardinia could be the right place to start. | |||||||||

CAD likely to be at 4.8% in March quarter, says HSBC
New Delhi: India's current account deficit, which hit record high of 6.7 percent in December quarter, is likely to be around 4.8 percent of GDP in the March quarter, HSBC said in a research note.
Though trade deficit is expected to "narrow" in 2013 driven by ongoing curb of gold imports and the gradual removal of fuel subsidies, the deficit will still be "sizeable", it said.
According to HSBC Chief Economist for India and ASEAN, Leif Eskesen, India's current account deficit for the March quarter is likely to be around 4.8 per cent of the GDP largely because, despite the reform efforts so far, the demand for oil and gold will only reduce "gradually".
The CAD represents the difference between inflows and outflows of foreign currency. The CAD had touched 5.4 percent of GDP in July-September quarter.
The CAD widened from 5.4 percent in Q2 (July-September) to a record high of 6.7 percent of GDP in Q3, driven mainly by large trade deficit, as per data released by RBI.
With the still sizeable current account deficit, India is likely to continue to depend on portfolio inflows and external commercial borrowings to provide inflows, the HSBC report said.
As a short-term solution, India would need to raise the limit to allow more foreign participation in the bond market. In addition, it would also need to loosen the regulations making it easier for foreigners to participate in the divestment of India's state owned enterprises, HSBC said.
In the medium term, India needs to take bolder actions to bring down the trade deficit (for example by pushing forward with fuel reform) and also further loosen regulatory requirements to allow more FDI into India, it added.
From a currency perspective, the large current account will remain a source of discomfort for the market and make it difficult for the INR to appreciate in a sustained manner.
Currently, the rupee is hovering around the 54 level against the US dollar.
Over the last few months, the government has taken several steps to boost dollar inflows like de-regulating NRI deposit rates, relaxing ECB norms, increasing FII debt limits, liberalisation of FDI and postponement of GAAR and higher duties on gold.

Using Effects
I'm making a mixtape using only ableton. I use the fades to blend tracks but want to also use the "remove" effect to kill the bass. When I do this it obviously removes the bass from the entire track. Is there a way to use the effect on an isolated part of the track (ie. where the cued track is being introduced) or perhaps a more efficient other way to this?

The Quiet Awe of Fallen Snow
The teacher should create an imagination of being in the midst of fallen snow through her description to create a setting for this lesson. She might tell of a simple episode from her own memory or from a literary source. The falling snow swallows all the sound of the forest and creates an eerie silence. The world gleams brightly from the reflected light on all of the surfaces. At times the reflections are so bright, that it seems as if the world has turn to crystalline light and is ready to disappear before our eyes. All the sharp protruding and angled forms such as rocks, boulders, sticks and broken branches become rounded and smooth. The angled sharp world suddenly seems soft and gentle like a room full of pillows. All the shapes and form become bedecked with the purity of freshly fallen snow. A meadow become magical, and even a yard with trash strewn about becomes ennobled and beautified ---all of the old and broken things disappear beneath the pure white mantle. The way the world is beautified by snow seems to be a metaphor for what? Grace? Love? Purity? Adornment? Yet we know that we must be careful where we step for underneath the glistening luster may lie dangerous objects and pitfalls. Now the covering of snow has become a metaphor for deception or the glossing over of the truth of something with a façade.
After the teacher has described a scene of the falling snow, she can introduce the poem.
VELVET SHOES by Elinor Wylie
by Elinor Wylie
Let us walk in the white snow In a soundless space; With footsteps quiet and slow At a tranquil pace, Under veils of white lace.
I shall go shod in silk And you in wool,White as white cow's milk More beautiful than the breast of a gull.
We shall walk through the still town In a windless peace; We shall step upon white down, Upon silver fleece, Upon softer than these.
We shall walk in velvet shoes: Wherever we go Silence will fall like dews On white silence below. We shall walk in the snow.
Writing/ Dictation Exercise The student should copy the entire poem into his book. An illustration in color pencil with a theme of snow could accompany it. Try using only one color such as blue for the entire picture.
Lesson Activities: Snow Poems Help the student find synonyms for some of the following words and phrases from the poem. How many ways can one describe snow?
Silver fleece, downy feathers, ice cream, angel's lace, silver fire, silver firs, blankets and pillows, the silver flood; flashing white; the frozen foam, fleecy mirrors, etc. Other phrases from the poem for example:
Soundless space --silent expanse; still emptiness; not a breath of wind Quiet and slow----hushed and softly; unhurried and hushed; silent softness Tranquil pace ----placid tread; quiet step; calm step; unheard step; quiet amble Shod in silk ----draped in lace; mantled and veiled; a bridal veil; wound in silk; laden with fleece; the trees are silken boughs The still town ----the frozen village; spellbound city; the enchanted place, quiet lanes, hushed streets, frozen sound; sound swallowed in white, Etc.
You can write these on a chalkboard or a large piece of paper as they are discovered. The new phrases could now be rearranged in various ways to suggest ideas to the student's imagination. You could try to stay with a similar rhyme scheme as the poem by Elinor Wylie, but that's not important. Though the poem by Wylie describes a walk in the snow, as you rearrange the poetic phrases that you have created, an entirely different scene might be suggested. Go with it. Let Wylie's poem be a sail for your imagination rather than an anchor. Below are two examples of verses written from images inspired by Wylie's poem.
However, as it was already stated, the lines do not need to fall into any kind of rhyme scheme as these examples do---that makes the exercise much more difficult. For now, be content to string together like a strand of pearls, some phrases that seem to naturally follow one another. Write several poems on snow, using the raw material you have created in this way. Later, if you wish, you can try to work these into a set meter or rhyme pattern.
Lesson ActivityUse a piece of black or dark blue construction paper (or pastel paper) as the base for a snow scene. Use a white color pencil to draw mounds of snow, snow upon trees and rooftops, etc. to create an illustration. The dark background provides for shadows and a dark sky. The illustration of the snow scene in this book was created in this way. The dark silhouettes of trees in the background are the black paper showing through. In other words, the trees were formed by filling in white around them. Cut the paper small enough to be glued into the student's lesson book when completed.

What the Big 12 should do next...my suggestion Here's my suggestion for the remaining 10 big twelve schools....start your own 16 team conference!!!! Pillage the Mountain West, plunder Boise St, and throw in a couple of C-USA teams. Old schools stay: Oklahoma Oklahoma St Texas Tx A&M Tx Tech Baylor Kansas Kansas St Iowa St Missouri (if they don't leave to big 10) Add schools: TCU Utah BYU Boise St Houston SMU or Air Force Not a perfect geographical split...but its a suggestion. You add four football studs (TCU, Utah, BYU, Boise St). And you bring in even more Houston and DFW viewers. Even if Mizz bolts to big ten just add another MWC team. Conference keeps KU basketball. Screw the Pac 10 & SEC |

I got this fun DIY from Myra at My Blessed Life. I pinned the project ages ago (remember here) and finally got around to it yesterday while taking a break from the yard. We've gotten a little further but are waiting for the lumber so for now it hasn't progressed much past this state.
You can read Myra's whole tutorial here but I'll give you the basic rundown.
Start by printing out the letter you want to have on an 8X10 piece of card stock. I used Bookman Old Style in size 500 (sorry for the bad picture the camera didn't like focusing on the paper).
Start by out buttons around your perimeter like so.
Don't worry about the gaps in the middle but try to cover all the lines as much as you can. It really helped me lay out all the buttons first before beginning to glue so that I knew I had the spacing right (though I ended up with one leftover button when I was done, it was like putting together Ikea shelves). Then just keep adding buttons until you like how it looks. This is definitely an easy project to go overboard on so when in doubt, you're probably done.
Next just pop it into a mirror (without glass otherwise you will need a shadowbox frame) and enjoy.
See how fun the textures of all the different buttons are? I tried to put my favorite pretty ones near the top so I could see them. I also made sure to find places for those cute heart buttons. I love getting close to it and looking at all the different ones.
As to framing, I used a spare frame I had laying around for when I get to making my gallery wall. I've been collecting nice wood picture frames from the thrift store that have interesting designs to flesh out my gallery. I plan to just spray paint them all black to match. It's a great way to add some texture to a gallery wall and not have everything looking too flat and Ikea-ie. I'm still in the market for some more frames but they are piling up downstairs.
Until I get the wall up this little gem is up on my mantle so I can enjoy it. It looks great next to my button billy balls.
Now I can finally clean up all the piles of buttons on the dining room table and pretend my house is clean again. I've still got plenty of buttons left and have many more plans for them.
For now it is nice to have a break from the yard and catch up on the Norman dust bunnies that are multiplying in corners. Funny how that happens...**sigh** such is life.
