True--the memories are priceless.
Yeah, stay away from Hawaii the last week of August, please.
Well don't go to Arizona when I am there. I have been three times, and each time it has rained. I mean serious rain, and I'm from Vancouver so I know rain! I know people who have been going every year for years and they have never had a drop of rain ... I must be cursed (or related to Cruisin )
Don't worry, we're done with Hawaii. It's too long a flight from the east coast. If I'm going to fly that far, I'd rather go to Europe where there are things to do when it rains .
I don't cause weather issues in Arizona, just Hawaii So, no worries for the people of AZ, if I go there. But, it might not be me, both times my husband was there...Hmmmm!
We didn't have a honeymoon. We had two nights at the Hilton in Omaha. The one across from the arena, for those of you who may have been at Nats. It is about 40 minutes from our house. My husband had changed jobs just prior to our wedding after six months of drama after his previous employer burnt down the business in an insurance scam (only found out for sure that the employer was involved recently when there was an indictment). He was not even supposed to be allowed time off at the new job but they made and exception and gave him three days unpaid for our wedding.
He is underemployed there and I became underemployed a year later. We actually still have not been on any trip by ourselves for longer than two days for the entire life of our relationship. We were planning a four day getaway in May in which we would go some place and not stay with friends for the first time ever...and now it looks like there will be mandatory overtime and no leave at his job until June.
Yet our marriage has survived just fine. It is the only stable and secure and happy thing in our lives, actually. Honeymoons do not make a marriage. The most extravagant honeymooners among my circle of friends was the couple who is now divorced after a ten year marriage in which they lived separate lives for eight.
Haha, we were on Kauai at the same time! We were on Spring break when a dam broke and the severe flooding washed out the only main road around the island (no way to get to the airport). We had plenty of food and gassed up the car in Princeville, so it was fine with us to hang out in our beautiful rental home for days. We have been to Kauai many times and it is not unusual to have rain in March, but the 30" we got in 10 days has made me think twice about going there again in March. We'll go back for sure because this is our favorite island, but maybe during a different month. The other island quirk that we had to plan for was driving to/from our rental home past Hanalei, because during heavy rains the bridge between Hanalei and Princeville (over the Hanalei River) floods as the tide comes in, so you have to drive over it during low tide. It's all just part of the charm of Kauai . And it keeps the tour buses away!
We were in Maui for the first week, the rain was just as bad there. This was 6 years ago, I believe. I remember there was a problem at Waikiki, as well. Something about the water quality (maybe a sewage line broke?). We were in Maui for a convention, so there was a lot to do for that, and we were with a lot of friends. But, we had decided to spend an extra week on Kauai. We stayed on the south eastern part of the island (I want to say Poipu, but not sure), but did drive up to Princeville. I remember seeing all of the destruction on the drive up to Princeville. I also remember talking to a lot of the people who live there who were having to get out of their homes due to severe mildew problems. They said that March is typically more rainy, especially on Kauai. But that they usually get about 6" of rain for the month, that month they got 32". Another memory is that the streets were littered with dead frogs ! Apparently they live in the foliage along the roadways, those areas were flooded and the frogs were going into the streets and getting run over. Happy Memory!
Poor froggies.
Beautiful! Wear them with love, health, and great happiness.
I like them!!!
Anita they are lovely!
They are, indeed.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
Another piece of happy news: my coworker who's gravely ill in France just emailed me and said he's up for Skype-crashing the wedding! He can only think week-to-week, but he's aiming for next Saturday!
Now, to either get Skype to work on my coworker's Android with unlimited data, or to recruit my sister's uber-hackery bf to tether something with his iPhone...But we are going to make this happen!
Awesome I think he'll make it. My aunt's cancer spread to her lungs in January 2009, but she held on for my sister's wedding that August and died in November. She always said she'd never miss the wedding.
It's amazing that people can will themselves to live for something while so ill, isn't it?
Oh, I'm so happy for you (and him) Anita... I wanted to ask about this but was afraid there was bad news. So glad
Anita, that would be wonderful. I'll send good thoughts to France for your friend.
The will can be a beautiful thing,
Good luck with all of the technical issues.
So I just got home from a wedding that included an interpretive dance. As part of the ceremony.
Not by the bride and groom though, right?
that sounds awesomely awful
one of my favorite weddings I've attended had the officiant do a live rendition of "Sweet Transvestite" in full Frank N Furter drag after the ceremony (with the bride, groom, and wedding party providing backup). Officiant wore a suit to do the ceremony though
No. It was done around them, though. As they sat in their yellow chairs under the spotlight which is where they were for most of the ceremony which was basically a theatrical production in a black box theatre. The program even read as such. They starred as "The Bride" and "The Groom". Both in quotes which bothered the English teacher part of me.
The groom's sister, allegedly a professional ballerina, performed the dance. It was mostly tendus and arm waving and rapid running in circles around the "happy couple". I have taken about a year and a half of adult beginning ballet and am fairly certain I could have performed that choreography. We were told it was symbolic of the music that the bride and groom heard in their heads before they met and how they found each other across a room and began to dance because their music was the same. The ceremony also included their mothers each having a turn reading a rather eulogy like tribute to their respective children. The bride (the theatre person of the pair) sat there making very large and dramatic and possibly rehearsed facial expressions in response to everything. The vows were all about having adventures and being fans and finding mischief. (Good luck with that sustaining a marriage in the long term). I cannot even begin to describe the music. Most pop songs common at weddings do not translate well when performed as operatic arias by Miss Iowa (and we knew she was formerly Miss Iowa thanks to the bios on the back of the "playbill"). There were also costume changes for the dancer and the officiant (the bride's sister ordained on the web last month). And they tied a knot in some rope to symbolize the unity of the community. At the end, her sister pronounced them "a happy couple".
And the reception was in the theatre lobby which does not have room for tables, chairs or people to do anything but go into the theatre. There was apparently "entertainment". But we didn't stay long enough for that. A picture on FB this morning appears as if their dog was involved in the entertainment.
That sounds epic!
A "new age" ceremony?
I'm all for modern touches; but, prefer a little more tradition than that.
Oh, it was.
I truly went just for the entertainment. The bride is an acquaintance of mine as are both of her parents and her mother is a good friend of my mother-in-law. I was my sister-in-law's plus one. My mother-in-law, the friend who was her plus one (father-in-law didn't want to go near this, he is very traditional), and I were enjoying the absurdity of it all, while sister-in-law (as my husband predicted) was all weepy and proclaiming it the greatest wedding ever.
Wow..... While I am glad that the couple made their ceremony "their own", I think it would have been hard for me to keep from laughing. And I think I would have stayed for the entertainment, just out of curiosity. Please try to find out more about how the dog fit into it.
I will not complain ever again about my family's weddings.
I would have loved to see that kind of offbeat wedding.
I totally agree with you. Tradition with some twists is often a good thing. Turning the whole wedding into a performance is just odd. My MiL couldn't believe there was no "I do/will" and they just put their own rings on after the sister rambled about intertwining circles for awhile. The word "intertwining" was used excessively throughout to the point that I wanted to giggle.
The bride's mother used some humor in her "tribute" talk. Then she felt bad and asked us if we thought it was inappropriate at the reception. She had been told it was to be "solemn". I told her this thing needed some levity, her response, "true, and people needed an excuse to laugh since I followed THAT DANCE".
A lot of the "ceremony" would have been lovely in a different context. The words from the mothers would have been nice at a rehearsal dinner or in shortened form as a toast at the reception. And the theatrical touches (since the bride works in theatre) would have been cute in the context of just the reception--having a "playbill" with the menu or something like that. But in the way they did it, it was all just over the top.

I'm thinking about offering my photos for sale via my website. So when you view the image you can click on a button to order a print.
http://www.printbutton.com looks interesting but...
There's a £250+VAT set-up fee. Only 5% commission. But you have to invoice them monthly for any sales you make.
I'm guessing this service is really designed for a larger-scale operation than I had in mind.
I could set up a professional gallery on http://www.photobox.co.uk (no set-up fee, 10% commission) and link from my site to there. That looks like a resonably good way to go.
Or can anyone else suggest any other sites worth looking at.

Hey, FU. You had better sharpen up on your reading skills. I did not see one sentence in this thread where someone said they were willing or eagerly looking for collapse. The closest to it might be Mr. Blade recognition of our country replaying the last days of Rome
I doubt very much if any of the 'preppers' here view their prepping any differently than any of us view our insurance. Really don't want to use it , but DAMNED sure gonna have it.
As for the several skills yiou questioned in your post; I and any of the other 19 in our group of Extraordinary Gentlemen, can do any one of those things. We gather several times a month concentrating on woodsmanship, marksmanship, fitness and tactics. We are not the pot-bellied nitwits one sees on the news calling themselves 'Militias'. Fourteen of us have seen the elephant and the other six had to pass a test that anyone on this board would say would make them worthy.
I'm sixty years old and turned in passing times on confidence and infiltration courses until I was 45. I can still do a 7 minute mile in street clothes. The other gentlemen in our group of my generation are basically the same level.
As for a desire for collapse; When I get up tomorrow, after a short workout, I'll go nextdoor with some fresh white whiskey and see if my neighbors Black Cherry flavored ale is ready for sipping. I also wish to be doing this 15 years from now.
Collapse? Don't want it, ain't looking for it, but damn sure ready for it.

Goal Club Honors Six Hall of Fame Inductees
NEW ROCHELLE, NY - The Iona College Athletic Department held its 31st Annual Goal Club Hall of Fame Golf Outing on Monday, June 4, 2012 at Wykagyl Country Club in New Rochelle.
Six stellar former student athletes and supporters were inducted into the Goal Club Hall of Fame. Highlighted by the surprise induction of Jeanne Morris '74 and Janice Ghiorsi '76 - two pioneers of women's athletics at Iona College as the first captains of the women's basketball program - the pair joined men's basketball's Steve Burtt '06, women's swimming and diving's Laura Koch '98 and benefactors David J. McCabe '80, and JoAnn Mazzella Murphy '98H as the Hall of Fame Class of 2012.
The Hall of Fame Dinner also included the presentation of the Donald E. Walsh '66 award, presented annually by the Iona College Goal Club to individuals who have demonstrated loyal support and service to Iona College Athletics through exceptional volunteerism. This year's award was presented with great honor and respect to the Iona 5'ers, the pioneers of today's Goal Club. Six original Iona 5'ers - Bill Aitchison '61, Ray Coyne '54, Terry McCormack '67, Frank McGuire '55, Don Short '59, and Joe Tighe '60 - accepted the award in honor of the original members of what is now known as the Goal Club.
The Iona Hall of Fame Golf Outing and Dinner directly benefits the Iona College Goal Club, which is the fund raising arm for Iona's 21-sport athletics program. The donations received from the Hall of Fame Golf Outing will help support scholarships, equipment and other essentials needed to keep Iona College at the forefront of Division I Athletics. Through the support of the community, alumni, families and friends of Iona College, the Goal Club has enabled us to make great strides within our athletic programs.
On behalf of the Athletics Department and all of the student-athletes who will benefit from the generosity of the many people who supported our golf outing, we thank you!
Due to inclement weather this morning, the golf portion of the day has been rescheduled for Monday, Aug. 13 at Wykagyl Country Club.
Steve Burtt '06
Steve Burtt '06 - a native of Harlem, NY - is one of the most prolific scorers in Iona College Men's Basketball history. Burtt's successful career started in junior high school where he played at Mt. Carmel Holy Rosary and later Rice High School. Burtt's career at Iona lasted from 2002-2006 where he led the Gaels to the 2006 MAAC Championship in his final season. He graduated with his degree in Marketing.
Steve is currently second on Iona's all-time scoring list with 2,034 points, behind none other than his father. Other achievements include first in all-time three-point field goals made (263), second in free throw percentage (83.1%), fourth in field goals made (672), fifth in three-point field goal percentage (39.2%), fifth in free throws made (427), and ninth all-time in scoring average (17.0 ppg). Burtt and his father hold the NCAA record for most points scored by a father-son combination with 4,568 and are the only two Iona performers to eclipse the 2,000-point mark.
Additionally Burtt accolades include an All-MAAC Third Team selection in 2004, All-MAAC Second Team selection in 2005, and All-MAAC and All-Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association First Team as a senior in 2006. He was a member of the 2005 and 2006 MAAC All-Tournament Teams and was the 2006 MAAC Championship Most Valuable Player.
After graduating from Iona, Burtt has played professionally in a number of different countries, including Greece, Israel, Spain, Italy, and most notably the Ukraine. While playing for BC Ferro (Zaporozhye, Ukraine) he led his team to a second place finish in the regular season and went on to win the Ukraine Cup in postseason play. Burtt continues to play overseas and aspires to return back to the United States to pursue a career in coaching.
Laura Koch '98
Laura Koch '98 - a native of Sugar Land, TX - was one of the most decorated female swimmers in Iona swimming and diving history. At the time of her graduation, she held nine individual school records: 100-, 200-, and 500-freestyle, 100- and 200-breaststroke, 100-, and 200-butterfly, and 200- and 400- individual medley while a member of all five school relay records.
As a versatile swimmer, Koch was the first female to win MAAC Championship gold for Iona, taking the 500-freestyle and 200-breaststroke titles in her freshman year. In her junior season, Koch took gold in the 200-IM and 100-butterfly. She was named Goal Club Athlete of the Week during the 1994 season. Koch also accumulated eight more individual medals during her career in the MAAC Championship. She was a qualifier for the ECAC Championships every season and gained a pair of bronze medals in her senior year in the 100- and 200-butterfly.
Koch was a four-time team MVP and a three-time team captain.
All of Koch's 1998 team records have been broken over the past 14-years, but each of her times would have reached the championship heats at the most recent MAAC Championship.
Koch was recruited for swimming and academics in 1994, but in 1995 was given an opportunity to play water polo. She was an inaugural member of the women's water polo program, part of the first ever divisional championship team and gained All-Academic Honors in 1999. She was a four-year starter, two- time captain, played 40 games and completed her career with 56 steals, 25 goals, 36 assists and 61 points.
Since her competition days at Iona College, Koch continues to swim and competes in United States Masters Swimming (USMS). She has been USMS National Champion and named an All-American numerous times over the past seven years, holds South Central Zone records, and has many top ten and FINA World Masters rankings.
David J. McCabe '80

JoAnn Mazzella Murphy '98H
JoAnn Mazzella Murphy '98H enters the Iona College Goal Club Hall of Fame as an extraordinary contributor and friend of the College and its athletics department. Her generosity has proved to be vital in the athletic program's success as well as the college as a whole.
JoAnn is a Legal Trustee of Iona College and a Vice Chair of Country Bank. She has generously given her time and resources towards the enrichment of the institution and its athletic programs.
JoAnn and husband Joseph M. Murphy have worked hard to ensure that their kindness is bestowed upon Iona College and other educational institutions.
Serving as a focal point of campus life at Iona College, Mazzella Field was made possible through the extreme generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph and JoAnn Murphy. Named in honor of her parents Concetta and John M. Mazzella, the field serves as a home for men's and women's soccer, women's lacrosse, club rugby, and conditioning for Iona's student-athletes and Hynes Athletics Center patrons.
Originally the Mayflower Elementary School, JoAnn and Joe had the Murphy Science and Technology Center built and named for Mr. Murphy's parents. This building houses the Christopher J. Murphy Auditorium (2007), named in honor of the Murphy's late son, Christopher.
On top of their generous contributions to Iona College, the Murphy family played an integral part in the creation of the Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City several years ago.
Jeanne Morris '74 & Janice Ghiorsi '76
Jeanne Morris and Janice Ghiorsi were pioneers of women's sports at Iona College.
When women first arrived on the Iona campus in the Fall of 1969, it was not until 1973 when women - who had been playing intramural basketball - organized an intercollegiate program. Co-captained by Jeanne Morris and Janice Ghiorsi, these women recruited fellow student Kevin Fitzpatrick to coach the team. After all of their hard work and preparation, the Iona College women's basketball team took to the court for their first game, February 7, 1973 against Manhattanville.
The next season the program hired head coach Sandy Capifali to lead the program. In 1973-1974, the team gained its stride and went on to have a successful 12-2 record and won an invitational tournament.
On the forty-year anniversary of Title IX; we salute Jeanne, Janice and their teammates for pioneering the first women's intercollegiate sport at Iona College. These women paved the way for the thousands of female student-athletes that have followed in their footsteps.
This year the Don Walsh Award was presented to the "Iona 5'ers" - Bill Aitchison '61, Ray Coyne '54, Terry McCormack '67, Frank McGuire '55, Don Short '59, and Joe Tighe '60. This award is in recognition of the ongoing support and contributions that this group of distinguished alumni instituted more than forty years ago.

The American press which readily reports examples of hatred and violence on the part of Muslims did not report the quiet events that transpired in Indonesia this Christmas. There was not a single anti-Christian incident in the most populous Muslim nation in the world except for a single bomb hoax. jakarta Governor Fauzi Bowo made it a point to spend Christmas eve visiting various Christian churches and he dispatched 17,690 police to guard them against any possible violence. "I got the impression," he said, "that Christians are celebrating Christmas this year more freely and happily. they don't feel threatened anymore." He also urged the people of Indonesia to "build a city for everyone" and "set aside all the discriminating manner in ourselves." The governor was extremely proud that several Islamic groups provided security around Christian churches.
The unreported news about Christian-Muslim relations is that in many nations like Indonesia, the government protects freedom of religion. Unfortunately, in nations the American government supports like Saudi Arabia, the very concept of freedom of religion is banned. If a Muslim terrorist kills Christians, it is on the front pages of the American press, but a peaceful Indonesian Christmas will never appear on right wing anti-Muslim programs like those of Rush Limbaugh.

Since the 2002 release of his intimate debut album, The Creek Drank The Cradle, Sam Beam — who records and performs under the name Iron and Wine — has established himself as one of the preeminent storytellers in music. His 2004 sophomore album, Our Endless Numbered Days, was a critical success and led to a busy 2005, in which Beam released two EPs (including one with fellow Artists Den alums Calexico). In 2007, The Shepherd's Dog was in the Top Ten of Paste Magazine's list of the year's 100 best albums. January 2011 saw the release of Iron and Wine's fourth album, Kiss Each Other Clean. The effort is Beam's first with Warner Bros Records, and continues Iron and Wine's evolution from its lo-fi roots to an expanded sound, featuring a full seven-piece band accompanying Beam's signature understated vocals.

Quote:The truth is while TKD did cover more ground years ago before most schools became so sports oriented, it was never anywhere near a "complete" martial art. No martial art is complete. The trouble is, the area in which TKD is most complete--kicking--is probably the least important in terms of practical self defense. Don't get me wrong: strong kicking skills are a fine thing to have. However, they are nowhere near as critical to practical self defense as good boxing and--most critically--wrestling skills.
Quote:Does this make sense?
Quote:I think anybody that does a martial art should question what they are doing. Is there more? Is what I'm doing enough?
Quote:Maybe I'm alone in thinking that if you are going to teach something, you might as well teach it well, and that is very difficult to do if your syllabus involves everything from stand-up striking to submission wrestling. I mean, try and squeeze that into a 2 hour class! I am a big believer in the "jack of all trades and master of none" theory. If you want to learn to grapple, go to a grappling school; if you want to learn to strike, go to a striking school. I find it difficult to believe that one teacher can pass on both aspects to a high level. This is another reason I have never considered joining a MMA school.

People don't just cook anymore — they're cooking, texting, talking on the phone, watching YouTube and uploading photos of the awesome meal they just made. Designer Paolo Cardini questions the efficiency of our multitasking world and makes the case for — gasp — "monotasking."

San Antonio Non Discrimination Ordinance Spreading to Houston
The City of Houston, encouraged by the approval of the Gay and Lesbian Non Discrimination Ordinance in San Antonio, will push an ordinance of its own later this month, 1200 WOAI news reprots.
Now that San Antonio has approved a measure preventing discrimination against people based on their sexual orientation and gender identity, Houston Mayor Annise Parker tells 1200 WOAI news it is time to approve a similar measure in her community.
"It is absolutely something that we should do," Parker, who is a lesbian who has openly lived with her domestic partner since 1990 and has raised two children with her, told 1200 WOAI's Michael Board. "The majority of council members have publically stated that they are in support of a non discrimination ordinance."
Houston is currently the only major city in the state which does not have a comprehensive gay, lesbian, and sexual identity non discrimination law. Houston has a law which prevents the city itself from discriminating on the bases of sexual orientation, but it does not extend to so called 'public accommodations,' private businesses which are open to the public. It also does not extend to city contractors.
"We watched what happened in San Antonio, we plan to talk with them about the process, and then we well make our own decision," Parker said.
There is one major hurdle facing Houston officials that may slow the process. Unlike San Antonio, where the city laws can be updated by a council vote, Houston will have to put its non discrimination ordinance up to a vote of the people.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Catching up on old threads
I think it all depends on one's tolerance for uncomfortable conditions. As live aboards you already have a higher level of that than most but boatyard life can be trying. Some yards are fairly pleasant and try to accommodate cruiser/live aboards. Others, not so much.
In twenty years of living aboard, including one stay in the yard that lasted a full FIVE MONTHS , we have only resorted to a hotel once; when we painted the boat and had the hatches off.
|We pretty much follow the example of Noelex77 and stay aboard, but a few exceptions. We only average three days/year out of the water. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
|Luckily, my buddy at the yard deals boats, so will let me stay on something he has in inventory...Kinda fun to check out something different, but it means i make a temp. conversion to stinkboater...
I'd point out that it really depends on the boat as well. Many multihulls have a much shorter climb when on the hard, since they have a shallower draft to begin with. Also, many catamarans have accommodations in both hulls, so if work is being done on one, living can be shifted to the other temporarily.
Likewise, a monohull that has aft and forward cabins can allow living aboard to some degree better than a boat that only has a single cabin, especially if the work requires tearing up or working in that cabin.
|when i first bought my boat i had to spend 3 days living on the boat on the hard. it was great, sit in the cockpit at night and watch movies on the internet. used the bathroom and showers at the marina. the only difference was no wave noise on the hull.

The big question is whether you are up to climbing a ladder many times a day. Good exercise for some, heart attack for others.

It got me to thinking, if you live on your boat, what do you do when it has to be hauled for larger maintenance items and repairs? Do you stay with friends, a hotel, climb up and down a ladder on the hard?
There have been times when it has been a challenge. For example, after lightening damage and installing new electrics (ourselves). The wires need to be run under the roof or under the floor so many roof panels off and floorboards up. At one stage when trying to take a coffee break there was not one place left we could sit down on the whole boat
Overall however life on the hard is still much better than a day in the office.
winter and Summer 'on the hard'
Hi guys,
I have lived on board for the past 2 years, and i can tell you times have been both testing and enjoyable. My first boat was a kingfisher k20 (yes, 20 feet!), and i first moved onto her within the first week of purchacing her in october 2008. She was in a very poor state when i first moved on, with mold and mildew in places i couldn't believe it could live! It was fairly warm when i first moved on, so the smell was terrible, however a good 'spring clean' solved that problem! As the winter took hold, some damage started to reveal itself. I decided that the repairs could wait until spring, as i needed to dry out the entire boat. The weather was fantastic during the spring and summer of 2009, and I managed to repair quite bad osmosis, as well as putting right a lot of poorly 'bodged' jobs (the bow fell off as i started to remove the layers of water-based paint the previous owner had put on!). During this repair period, which included a complete overhaul of the boat - painting, replacement skin fittings, new heads, insulating the cabin etc. i held private bbq's for the guys helping me. Life on-board was interesting,and i always found myself painting, filling, sanding, or polishing the boat - even at night! The only frustrating part was the yard's hosepipe didn't quite reach my boat!
I have since then bought a new boat (a Macwester 26) that i had transported to milford haven, UK, which i have lived and worked on throughout the harshest winter i have known so far in the UK (-16C). I had a wood burner on board, which had its flue poking out a port hole, that kept the boat warm and dry. The only issue was the condensation in the morning, as i NEVER leave a fire burning whilst i sleep.
I have since sailed back to Cardiff, where i am now building up a cruising kitty and getting my certificates and training ready to commit to a full-time world cruising period - no plans yet for when i stop cruising.
I always maintain my boats, regardless of where i am (floating or on the hard), and this really keeps me going (and keeps me sane!) Life on-board is a commitment and a lifestyle choice. I have had people come and go who thought they could live on a cruising yacht, but couldn't cope with the small space.

Games are a great way to learn all sorts of things about English. These games are for English language learners, or native speakers who are addicted to word games.
For downloadable theme-based language puzzles, check out this page.
90% of the time, native English speakers use just 7,500 words in speech and writing. In our dictionaries, these words appear in red and are graded with stars. One-star words are frequent, two-star words are more frequent, and three-star words are the most frequent. But can you guess how many stars each red word is worth? Test your intuition on word frequency with this red words game.

There are some things in English that can only really be learnt through practice. Irregular verbs are tricky and inconsistent ' of course that's why they're called 'irregular'. Practise conjugating irregular verbs by spinning the irregular verb wheel. Some are easy and some difficult, but how fast can you conjugate correctly?
Phrasal verbs may seem obvious to native English language speakers, but for learners they can be mystifying. Knowing your phrasal verbs brings you much closer to speaking fluently. Choose the correct synonym or antonym in this challenging game.
Another game to practise your knowledge of phrasal verbs. This game requires a little more work: choose the correct particle to complete the sentence, which contains at least one phrasal verb that's important to know.

GW464- For container candles. 98% soy with 2% soy based additive. This wax has a melt point of 115-120. It can be poured at a hotter temperature and still achieve a smooth and creamy top. The soy based addtive helps minimize frosting. Does not mix well with beeswax. Great for mixing with paraffin. Recommended pour temp is 130 deg. F-140 deg. F. Recommended fragrance usage is 6% - 9%.
The lower melting point of this was allows it to create a melt pool faster than the GW444 and GW415, assuming the same size wick and container diameter.

Well, mt area has finally had a day above freezing. Up into low 50's in my apiary. It was cold, so I wanted to add some fondant as i know some hives were lite going into fall. Just coukldnt feed enough this year. Those that wree weak, died. Anyways, the bees were doing clenaisng flights. I suited up, but didnt want to smoke them since it will be freezing tomorrow. pooped the tops, added some fondant and closed. I got stung on hands about 10 times. Sort of e felt good. Now for the mistake part, being out of practice....I forgot to take my wedding band off, now my finger is swollen and ring is stuck and making my finger purple :roll:
Hey JP, it really doesn't get below 50 down there does it? I figured that your bees would just put on a sweater and keep on flying.Dennis
Careful you don't lose your finger...
Got my first sting of the year on the back of the neck.Kinda nice really!!
Finger is fine, swelling went down about two hrs later. Probably would have happend sooner if ring wasnt on. Yet another punishment for marriage :evil:I dont like getting stung. Really, I dont. The bees really, really like stinging me. They do. My eyes in particular. But getting stung is inevitable, particularly since I wont wear protective gear in front of groups, the press, neighbors and friends. Cut-outs an exception! Bees are supposed to be gentle, so lets act like it.!Now I do feel better after being stung. General aches and pains diminish, which always feels gooood.....Quote from: Michael Bush on January 23, 2009, 08:40:55 PMCareful you don't lose your finger...Good thing I wear my wedding ring on my middle finger!

Just a quick post to let everyone know that I was able to find blue LEDs for the top light segments. I wasn't able to find the LED bars like I use for the V1.1 and V2.1.1, so I can only make blue boards in the V1.2 and V2.1.2 versions. The LEDs are in water clear casing, so the top segments appear more like round dots then rectangular. I am looking for some defuser material to correct that.

I am not exactly a cook, but now that I found out I have to eat gluten and dairy free I have to learn to cook some things that are tasty and healthy in order to 1) get healthy and 2) to maintain my health. I tried this recipe last night, it has a very nice flavor, but I could not get the ingredients to form a nice patty. It was very liquidy, which made it difficult to coat with the almond flour. Any suggestions, or ideas on what I did or could do better in the future?
I don't even bother making the patty now – I'll mix everything up as directed and throw it into the skillet to make a shrimp/veggie hash. Tastes delicious and saves some time.
To make the patties: I cut the shrimp in larger pieces and then I add some extra almond flour until the patty thickens. It works wonderfully and I love love love this recipe! Whenever I have a friend that questions the Paleo lifestyle, I bring them some shrimp patties and convince them that it can be quite yummi.
I still finely chopped the shrimp but did add a little almond flour into the mix. The patties are pretty much mush before you cook them. I made them in my hands, spooned some almond flour on top, flipped them onto a cutting board and spooned the four on that side. You can spatula the mush-patty into the frying pan and when it is cooked it turns out solid. Very, very tasty recipe, too, so thanks for this one!
I made this recipe tonight and it was just delicious. I added some finely diced cremini mushrooms and had to use almond meal because it was all I could find. I just combined the almond meal into the shrimp mixture before making the patties and sauteing on low heat. I will continue my search for the almond flour, but for now, I have a wonderful, flavorful recipe that I will always look forward to eating.
To troubleshoot the 'goupie-ness' I just put the entire mixture in to a brownie/cake pan and cook it in the oven @ 375 degrees until it's done – takes about 35-45 minutes, depending on how deep the pan and your oven. We love them!
Nice Amataurus! If you want the more crispy sides like you would get from browning on each side try baking in a muffin pan. You won't have to cook it as long. This also works well for having leftover portions that are perfect for lunch and dinner.
Tried these tonight with the family. Mostly positive reaction from the kids; I loved em! I found the best way to cook them, and I tried all the above methods, was to mix the flour together with the shrimp et al, then just spoon a portion onto the already hot and oiled skillet and flatten them out to about 3/4 of an inch. Cook about 3 or 4 minutes on each side and they're perfect.
I tried this recipe and love it. Like everyone else I found it hard to form the patties and ended up using more almond flour in the mixture.
I used cooked lobster that I ground up rather than raw shrimp. But I am interested to know whether using raw shrimp actually has them cooked enough during the frying process.
Thanks and keep the recipes coming. I have been doing paleo for 1 month and love the recipes.
Hi Paleo People!
I also had trouble with excess liquid and "goop"iness and was wondering if I was doing it wrong. Glad I am not the only one. :-)
I did find it hard to judge if the shrimp was fully cooked when in patty form, and even though the outside was very brown, I don't think mine were cooked all the way inside.
I like the idea of cooking it more like a stir-fry or in the muffin tin and baking pan. With the stir-fry option I imagine you can omit the almond flour altogether and reduce the oil to reduce calories and cost. Do you agree? Will give that a try next time.
I would love some type of paleo sauce to go with it, to give it added moisture, flavor, and interest. Any suggestions?
Also I think it would be helpful in the recipe directions to tell folks to whisk the egg and to melt the raw honey into liquid form so that they can combine mix in with the rest of the ingredients easier. I'm sure many people would assume to do that but new cooks might not know.
I tried this recipe for the first time tonight! We actually took the advice from some of the previous comments and baked them in a muffin pan! It worked out great! We also made the avocado salsa as a "sauce" to go with it and it was delicious!
Neely – can you please post the nutritional information for this recipe? Thank you!
Can you use frozen shrimp in this recipe?
Hello, I am brand new to Paleo, as a maintenance lifestyle eating plan; as I've just lost 50 pounds!! woot woot!! My only reservation is that I'm very allergic to coconut..and coconut product. So for coconut oil can I sub olive oil or grape-seed oil? For coconut milk, can I do like almond milk, soy milk, or milk milk? Shredded coconut??
Thank you, Cassie.

#9 Best Performances/Events of 2013-14: Roberts Claims AQHA Cup and Two Individual Titles as WT Finishes 5th at IHSA Nationals
HARRISBURG, Pa. – On May 4th, the West Texas A&M equestrian team finished fifth in the country at the 2014 Intercollegiate Horse Show Association (IHSA) National Championships. In the process, senior Julia Roberts capped off an excellent career by winning the AQHA Cup as the High Point Western Rider and adding two National Championship titles to her belt. Senior Kayla Wells also earned an individual title while sophomore Rachel Foster was named Reserve Champion.
"I am so proud of WT equestrian," said head coach Amanda Love. "They rode fantastic and to walk away with three National Champions and one Reserve National champion is phenomenal. What a legacy they have upheld!"
The Lady Buffs competed in the event at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, Pa. They sent 12 total athletes to ride in the competition, 11 between individual and team Western events, and one in Hunt Seat. In all, the Lady Buffs had three National Champions (Roberts x2, Wells) and one Reserve National Champion (Foster).
Looking to defend its Western National Championship title from last season, its second overall, was the Lady Buffs' team consisting of six riders in the Western discipline. Athletes competing in the team events includedCana Fitzgerald, Kimberly Newkirk, Megan Pirtle, Kinzee Shull, Roberts and Marilyn Brandt.
WT finished fifth as a team with nine total points. Ohio State won the event with an overall score of 29 points, followed by Findlay (second, 25 pts.), St. Andrews (third, 24 pts.) and Berry College and Nebraska-Lincoln (T-fourth, 18 pts.).
Roberts highlighted the team events with her National Championship in Team Open Horsemanship while Fitzgerald then added a fifth place finish in Team Beginner Horsemanship. Three Lady Buffs contributed seventh place finishes for the team: Newkirik (Intermediate Horsemanship), Pirtle (Novice Horsemanship) and Shull (Advanced Horsemanship). For the final event, Brandt was named Honorable Mention in Team Reining.
After receiving her second National Championship title of the weekend, this time in Individual Reining, Roberts was awarded the AQHA Cup, an accolade given to the event's
High Point Western Rider. The senior captain did not stop there though. During the event, Roberts was also given the Equestrian Coach Achievement of Excellence Award. With the award, she will receive a $1,000 stipend towards a six-day apprenticeship at McQuay Stables along with a lifetime membership to EquestrianCoach.com.
"What a way to finish out my senior year," exclaimed Roberts. "To accomplish every single goal I've ever worked for is such an unbelievable feeling. Hard work and dedication truly pays off. I wouldn't' be here if it wasn't for my coach Amanda Love and founder of IHSA, Bob Cacchione. God has blessed me beyond belief!"
Wells earned her National Championship in individual events as well as she took first place in Advanced Horsemanship. Foster grabbed her Reserve National Championship title with her second place performance Individual Beginning Horsemanship.
Also in individual events were sophomore Tessa Lopez (Advanced Horsemanship) and junior Angela Bradley (Novice Horsemanship) who received eighth place finishes while senior Kayla Bridgman (Novice Horsemanship) was named Honorable Mention.
Junior Reilly Millbauer was the lone competitor for the Lady Buffs in Hunt Seat competition. She also received Honorable Mention in her event, Individual Open Flat.

Gone with the wind... Please help
Hello all, I need to ask for advice for my dog Anni. First, I'll tell you a little about her: she is a solid black 9 year old pup of Xero Z PS; she is extremely high drive and rambunctious, even at her age, but is of very stable and balanced character. I trained her in Schutzhund for a year when I got her as a puppy, but then had to stop when I went to college. She has still been a very good dog, my greatest joy and love.
The problem is I moved to Boulder a few months ago for my first job and around this time Anni developed a fear of wind. I know the cause of this: right before our move she'd had to stay with my parents for the month of July, in a town that celebrates the 4th with fireworks for, no exaggeration, the entire month. Before then, Anni had never been afraid of storms or gunfire, but since then she's developed a fear of atmospheric noises that has spiraled out of control... and now we have gotten to wind. Unfortunately, it is often windy in Boulder.
The big problem is what Anni does when I'm out at work and it gets windy: she has learned to unlock the front door and get outside to a (baby-gated) patio. She's calm once outside and will chill there until I get back. She would never run away but I still cannot have this, as she is not supposed to be outside unsupervised (this is an apartment complex and we've already gotten in trouble). If I prevent her from unlocking the door she will slam against it until she is limping and bleeding, and I'm afraid she will seriously hurt herself or break down the door (the door is glass).
As for what I've tried... She has learned to get around or over every barrier I've put up, including the new indoor 36" tall metal baby gate installed this morning, to get at the front door. I've also tried using a DAP diffuser, a thunder shirt, a fan, a white noise maker, her favorite music (Ottmar Liebert), and sun/noise blocking curtains, nothing of which has worked. I even (this will sound crazy) got her a 6mo shelter kitten to keep her company during the day. She loves the kitten but the company doesn't stop her fear of wind... I finally caved and just ordered a PetSafe Pawz Away Instant Pet Barrier that will deliver a shock if she goes near the indoor baby gate, and am considering getting a scat mat to lay in front of the door, but do not know yet if shocks will even penetrate her fear. So these are what I've tried or will try.
Some of you will probably say she needs better training, but I'll just be honest that I'm lost as to how to train against this behavior. Since terror is what motivates her to slam at the door, and as she only does this when it's windy and I'm not at home, I don't know know where to start. Do any of you have any ideas? When it's windy and I'm at home she will pant and pace nervously, but does not get out of control. I do not encourage this behavior by comforting her, and only give her positive attention or treats if she seems to settle down.
I've mentioned this problem to her vet, and he said this is a problem that only seems to get worse with time and is rarely resolved. We did not talk about anti-anxiety drugs and I don't think I want to consider that route yet.
If any of you have experience with this I'd be most grateful for your advice. I know some of you are probably wondering what the **** I'm doing in an apartment with a dog like this, but again I've had her for all 9 of her years. For the first 8 of them she grew up on a big property with plenty of space. I got the biggest apt I could afford (830 square feet) with a big patio for her to lay out on when I'm at home and nice running trails with lakes nearby. I know it's still not enough for dogs like ours, but for now am stuck in the lease for another 6 months... Anyway, hope someone can help and thanks again :help: :confused:
Can you get recordings of wind and work from there when you are home, start ultra low, then next step a lttle louder and so forth and implementing postive reinforcement with this, like crate as safe calm place to go with the sounds while she chews on a raw meaty bone or gets brushies in the crate. Then while you arae out she may just go to it to chill...just kept open, blanket over it like a cave
Also what may help is melatonin - calming, but search cautions w/this as there may be some moderate
Valerian root is calming
Lavender (make a spray with essential oil - just 10 drops to a spray bottle) and mist around apt before you leave. or spray (diluted) on a bandana for around neck (works double duty against fleas)
Ashwagandha is a calming herb that works on the adrenal glands (adrenals regulate and excrete the stress hormones). I had tremendous results with this while my dog went through a 6 month balcony reno in a 16 story building - in fact so good he bonded so well with people who hated him.
There is also bach flower essences specifically for wind I believe.
Try one of these along with the desensitizing recordings as you want her calm place prior...just for her health.
Note: you would have to give ashawagandha about 5 days or so before starting therapy
One more thing to try, when your home with her and the wind kicks up and she starts to pant and pace, is laughing. I've been told that it works with fear of thunder, although not instantly but I've not had an opportunity to try it since Cassie's anxiety is mostly related to people and anyone being in her space. It makes sense to me since dogs "reads" our racial expression and laughter is about as far from fear as you get and that laughter probably produces a phermone of its own.
I'm also in Boulder and unfortunately for you the winds get a lot worse!
I'm not a behaviorist so I can only offer suggestions to you. I think since you have 6 months left on your lease the only thing I would suggest is doggie daycare, if you can afford doing it a few times a week. This may be your only option right now.
Who is your vet, I know there are a lot of vets here in Boulder, maybe you can find a good holistic vet that can offer you some alternatives to medications.
I wish I could be more helpful to you.
It's not always windy, but when it is it is bad .
Good luck :)
GatorBytes -- Thank you so much for your quick response and helpful suggestions. I have always been skeptical about herbal remedies, but if you've said they worked with your dog then I'll look into it with my vet. Thanks again!
Kath & Clan -- One thing I try to do is yawn in front of her because I read that can calm dogs down, but it doesn't seem to work. I'll definitely try laughing next time.
Bear GSD -- I currently go to Indian Peaks Veterinary and like (enormously) Dr. Lisa Sabichi for both Anni and my shelter kitten, although the other vets there are good as well. I had another kitten who was dying of FIP a couple months ago and Dr. Sabichi was on the phone with me every other day helping us through his last two weeks... She is a **** good vet, in my opinion. Do you have any other vets you like in particular, maybe one that likes to work with working breeds? About the doggie day care, I would be worried constantly that something bad could happen to her there... She does fine in off-leash parks but she's always got to have a toy in her mouth and there are problems if it gets taken away.
Thank you all for your advice and suggestions, much appreciated!
If you like you vet then I wouldn't look for another. There are soo many vets here in Boulder partly due to CSU vet school close by which brings me to another suggestion.
You may want to contact CSU and see if there are any studies going on right now that may be related to Annie's situation.
Also there are dog services that will actually come pick up your dog and take it for hikes and other doggie adventures, not sure how much that would cost? This being a college town you could also maybe hire a college student to stop in with Annie?
Another thing to look at when your lease is up is location. I don't know where in Boulder you are located but far north and south Boulder the winds are especially bad because of the way they come off the foothills. If you moved central Boulder or even a little further east towards Louisville I don't think the winds would be as bad,at least not in the noise factor.
I really hope that you can figure something out for Annie. Good luck :)
I would maybe look into seeing a veterinary behaviorist even if you really like your vet (unless she is one, of course), not as a total switch but as a specialist. Think of it like seeing a psychiatrist vs. your general practitioner. The veterinary behaviorist is going to have a lot more specific knowledge about anxiety and fear issues than your average (even very good) general vet.
I don't think you have to worry about rewarding her fear by comforting her when you're home. Fear isn't reinforced like that. Just anecdotal evidence, but I really believe that hugging one of my dogs in my lap during thunderstorms helped him get over his fear of them. It turned a negative experience into a positive one.
Is she crate trained? If not, you may want to consider it. Not only would it hopefully solve the problem of her injuring herself and/or escaping (although of course we all know dogs can manage those things in crates too), but it may help her feel secure because she has her own little "den" where she's safe. Obviously this may take some time to train as you want her crate to be a very positive, good place, but as others have said the wind in Boulder isn't going away any time soon. ;)
Finally, I can understand your qualms about doggy daycare but you may still want to research. You may not find a facility you're comfortable with, but if I remember right from when I lived in Fort Collins, there are tons of good places with a lot of different options in the Boulder area. I'm sorry I can't give you any names, but you may be able to find a place you're comfortable with. I think that would probably be your best solution at the moment, both for her safety and you not getting evicted!
I wonder if you've tried D.A.P.?
They make collars and sprays and diffusers.
One of my dogs gets nervous when the wind blows but only if it comes in from the north or is very strong (upwards of 40-50mph gusts).
I just comfort her and she is fine, I don't make a big deal of it, but let her know I'm "there" for her if she wants to get closer to me. She's really not fearful of anything else, so it's not a big deal.
DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Calming Collar for Dogs DAP collar
Comfort Zone Spray for Dogs | DrsFosterSmith.com
I've used this extensively with rescue dogs who are new and never have been crated and it rarely fails to calm then.
That is really odd...I have heard of other age-related phobias though. Sometimes it's thought that as a dog starts to lose a certain sense, things that didn't use to bother them start to. Though she's certainly not that old at 9, it seems odd that she is suddenly afraid of something like wind, even despite your explanation. I had a Xero grandson, best dog ever, by the way.
Anyway, I would try the ashwaganda, too. Have you had a full blood panel done on her? Sometimes hormonal imbalances can manifest in odd ways. I would check thyroid if it were my dog. Is she spayed?
and what would starting therapy mean?
Thanks in advance!

How did forum members find the Delaware North (caterers) presentations?
Very interesting - they talked through that no matter how much contingency you have, there was one occasion where it was so cold that they run out of hot water. We talked with them about the pricing of products and how some products e.g. 2 bagels for £9 did seem overpriced.
We have a fairly complicated contractual agreement with Delaware North and have on-going discussions about our relationship and how we can mutually achieve the ends that we both have in mind. They have experience of providing this service all across the world and they are regarded as best in class - that's not to say that we don't liaise with them and raise any issues or concerns that fans may have and it's good that members of this forum have been able to talk with them directly. Their model is based around the numbers coming through the stadium and the propensity of fans to buy food - this model is always changing and they do try out new products and new price points so that fans felt they've had an enjoyable time at the stadium
The Arsenalisation of the Upper Concourse
As fans are probably aware, we've pretty much completed our work on the lower concourses, the only area outstanding is the red panelling on the inner circle - we did initially talk about a time-line but we've decided to go down the pictorial route of having previous managers, crests, as well as having quotes from players.
In terms of the upper concourse, the design company 20:20 have taken a look to see what space and materials they will be working with. We initially thought that we may be more constrained in this area but there is actually more space than we thought that can be used. We're looking to replicate some of what's already in or planned for the lower concourse e.g. crests and ensure that we use the ideas that already work in the lower concourse, but we are willing to look at some new ideas to apply to the upper concourse. There are 27 red walls that we can use, as well as 35 white ones and a number of beams, so there are opportunities to try something different. We don't want to overcrowd the area but there are also some opportunities in doing something with the glass.
We're also looking at important games or goals from our history and representing these in some way as opposed to individual players, especially as we now have player representation on large cores on the external perimeters of the stadium. In the lower tiers we've depicted our greatest moments and in terms of the upper tier we're looking at putting these choices to some sort of vote. We could replicate the moments in relation to our history e.g. Bergkamp signing for us and put these in the upper concourse level as well.
You can also have important moments from games (not necessarily just goals) e.g saves or last gasp tackles e.g. Seaman's semi final save. We could also represent the success of our other teams e.g. our Youth Team (e.g. in the family enclosure area) or our Women's team. There are things that all fans would like represented at all levels e.g. our unbeaten run.
It is easy and relatively cost effective to replicate what we already have in the lower tier, but we would also like to try out new things to give a different point of interest for fans. We're fortunate in that we have such a deep and broad history that there is a lot of moments and events that we can depict. There are some things that have proved successful and perhaps should also be displayed in the upper tier e.g. the programme wall and crests and we're looking to take the best from the lower tier to the upper tier.
Other ideas would be representations of shirts at Highbury, and a key player from that time with playing statistics about them. You could also have a collage of fans photos from over the years - e.g fans first visit to Highbury or the Emirates.
We can also represent our global fan base and overseas supporters clubs and the global background of our players e.g. photos of fans at various wonders of the world.
One idea that staff came up with is life-size "Panini sticker" representations of key players over the years. What we should also factor in is that we'll be celebrating our 125th anniversary soon and some of these ideas could be incorporated into the events we'll have around that and there are different ways we can use photographs of our history to represent this and maybe have a competition around it. There is a danger of using current players in that if they move on and negatively impact on us in the future - I'm sure we can all think of examples. It's better to choose things that are fixed in history.
We do have an Arsenal in Europe wall in the lower tier but we will look at how we represent the global nature of both our players and fans. We're currently focusing on the upper tier but we're aware that there are further things we can do on the exterior of the stadium and this will be an on-going iterative process.
In terms of moving this forward, we'll have another internal discussion over the next week and feed in the ideas discussed today and if possible we can meet up again before the end of May to progress this further.
How are the plans for the 125th anniversary progressing?
We want to mark this anniversary in the right way - we're going through a big strategic review of the club and the celebrations around the anniversary are a very good way to communicate the outcome of the review. The events around the last year of Highbury was a recognition of all our past achievements and we've gone through a lot of changes over the last few years, not least the stadium move - the forthcoming anniversary is a way to also look at the future and we're looking at different ways to incorporate this.
The club have to be wary that it will be a true celebration and not just seen as another way to milk fans via merchandise. Some examples of ways to celebrate it would be to try and arrange a home fixture on the anniversary date, or kick-off at 1.25pm, or as near as possible to it, or spend £125 million on new players!
We want to approach this in a very joined-up way across a lot of different things and events - we're aware that other clubs have produced shirts only worn for 1 game with a special crest on it - we're looking to commemorate it in a more substantive and forward looking way and are wanting fans to embrace it properly. There are many different ways of celebrating it, but we want to link it in to other ideas for the future that we're developing.
The price of tickets for away games in the champions league are set by the club we are playing and they cannot charge any more or less than they would for their own fans. In terms of locations of our fans, this is again set by the club we're playing and their decisions are usually based around security within and outside the stadium.
What's the eligibility criteria in terms of getting tickets for champions league games? There are some Red members who've built up a large number of away credits and attended a number of home games and then there are relatively inactive silver members who then get priority on purchasing these tickets.
There are different benefits associated with the different categories of membership. There are 3 key areas in terms of membership category and ticket eligibility. Platinium and Gold members have paid for their season tickets in advance and rightly have access to certain other tickets. The Silver membership category is a legacy of the old ticket registration scheme and they've been ring-fenced in terms of ticketing eligibility above the Red member category. There are priority groups within these 2 schemes, but generally Red membership is a lot larger than Silver members and we accept that the availability to buy tickets at this level is less than Silver members. We have over 200,000 fans across the different categories. We're internally looking at these different affinity benefits across the categories to make them an even more compelling offer. On average, about 1,500 Red members move up to the Silver category each season.
It doesn't seem fair that you effectively have dormant silver members who spark into life at the business end of the season when there are large numbers of red members who try to go to every game they can and then struggle to get tickets to the important games.
As part of our strategic review will be looking at all levels of membership, and membership benefits, all these types of scenarios will be taken into consideration during this process. We know that on the margins there are some people who share season tickets or may have a season ticket but are still also a silver member - we have marketing objectives and we're always looking at developing new relationships with current and potential fans. The one thing we try to avoid is people obtaining a season ticket and then selling it on at grossly inflated prices.
If Arsenal continue to play a weakened side in the FA Cup, will Arsenal offer reduced prices for the games in the same way as they do for the Carling Cup?
We take the FA cup very seriously and we have very strong sides playing in this competition - we normally play to full houses with our current pricing structure so we don't see the reason to reduce these prices. Arsène has a very definite policy of bringing on and developing our younger players for the Carling Cup and this is reflected for the price of tickets for these games as well as the fact as they're not included as a season ticket game. The wider point is that it's very rare we have what most people would regard as our strongest team playing in any 1 particular game so it's hard to draw boundaries in relation to this - the general point is that it's an avowed policy that we don't look to play our strongest team for Carling Cup games, therefore these are priced in the way they are.
There are other examples where we may not always field our strongest available team e.g. if we've a game after already qualifing for the Champions League knock-out games but when you make a commitment, you make a commitment.
What leverage do the clubs have over kick-off times and why is the game against Blackburn at 5pm on a Bank holiday?
For Saturday and Sunday televised kick-off times, we have very little say on when the game kicks-off. Unusually for this bank holiday kick-off, Sky approached us and asked us what kick-off time we wanted - we had a look at the travel services available that day and what engineering works were taking place and the best kick-off time for our fans, after factoring this in was 5pm. The only guideline broadcasters are asked to work to is to have at least 72 hours between games - which, due to our European commitments, is one of the reasons we don't tend to be asked for the Monday night slot.
The lighting in the North East Corner and the steps nearby to cross the bridge are not very good and it has caused problems at night games in the past - can this be looked at?
Honeywell the engineers have stated that the lighting in that area does meet Council Health & Safety requirements, but we will of course have another look at this - unfortunately, we haven't had any night games since but when we do we will investigate.
In terms of the location of away fans, in most other new stadia they are placed in the upper tier, but at ours they're placed in the corner lower tier (and above for bigger opposition)
That decision was taken following discussions with the Police, Health & Safety considerations, as well as the design, configuration and size of our stadium.
What is the official charity for Arsenal next season?
We haven't made a formal decision as yet but we do continue to do work with charities who we've officially supported in the past, e.g. the Willow Foundation & Treehouse. It is our policy to look for a new charity to start official work with each season.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Some questions on different ROF.
What would you say the ROF would be for certain setups.
1) Tippmann 98c with just a standard gravity hopper?
2) Tippman A5 with standard cyclone feed and just standard trigger?
Programming issues????
3) Axe stock with a power hopper like a Rotor? In semi mode. Can the ROF in semi be capped at a lessor ROF?
4) Any High End (G6R, Ego, DM, ect... your choice) with a power hopper? In semi mode. Can the ROF in semi be capped at a lessor ROF?
5) How would Ramping change the ROF of the electro guns above? can the ramping be set a certain max ROF?
I was playing on a field with a wide range of guns. 98c, A5, Spyders, low/high end electro's, and some others I am sure. About 60/70 players. During the time I was using my 98c, I really never felt at a disadvantage. I am sure I faceed a mix of guns. The Axe was a sweet shooting gun and very lightweight with a CF 50/4500 tank on it. Woodsball with many bunkers and buildings. Lots of cover but you can get plenty of max range shots.
Never felt uneasy taking a rental 98 out and going head to head with Automags/Auto Cockers back in the mid to late 90's?
Trying to get a general feel for the modern Game. Plan to play more this year. Mostly at this field but some speedball indoor/outdoor.

I called Warzone paintball on Sunday 18 Nov 2012 and they informed me their indoor field is closed this winter and possibly forever dude to lack of business. I was wondering if there are any indoor fields withing like a 3 hour drive of Columbus, i don't play scenario or woodsball type games so im looking for speed ball fields i thought there was something in Cleveland with "elite" in the name but i haven't been able to find anything. So if you know of any indoor paintball fields that are open during the winter it would be a great help thanks!
awww man that sucks that their indoor field is closing because i was going to go next weekend i guess ill wait until spring and buy some new gear.

GRADUATES - have you completed our survey? All graduates from programs under the School of Physical Sciences are asked to complete the survey: once at graduation and again anytime you have a change in education or employment. We'd like to hear from you and it is really short.
Our chemistry program is approved by the American Chemical Society.
The Department of Chemistry offers Bachelor of Science degree programs in:
- Chemistry
- Biochemistry (Pre-Professional)
- Pre-Med (see advising page)
- Pre-Pharmacy (see advising page)
- Forensic Chemsitry
- Chemistry-Secondary Education
The Department of Chemistry also offers Associates degree programs in:
Students interested in Environmental Chemistry have the choice of completing a B.S. Chemistry with the Environmental Science Minor, or completing the B.S. Environmental Science - Chemistry Concentration. Both options can be ACS certified. (See Environmental Science Website)
Department News:
- Chemistry Department acquires new Spectrophotometer
- Chemistry & Environmental Science Students Present Research at Symposia
- State House education appropriator eyes LSSU tech research facilities
- New tool beefs up environmental research lab
- LSSU faculty and students fill special issue of Great Lakes Research journal
Each summer, many of our students participate in either on-campus or off-campus internships. Internships are a great way to gain experience and new skills in your field - plus, if your internship is off-campus, you get to travel to new and exciting places. On campus internships are available through faculty research projects, the Chemical Prep lab (See Mary St. Antoine), or the Environmental Analysis Lab (See Ben Southwell). Review our list of internships from last summer here.
Investment! Chemistry IS for you! Chemistry is the central science, and the study of chemical behavior is fundamental to many applications in the other scientific disciplines. As a result, a degree in chemistry can lead to wide variety of exiting careers in drug development, forensic science, material sciences, pharmacy and medicine, toxicology, and more!
A degree in the chemical sciences continues to be a good educational investment, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting a median salary for chemists of $69,700 per year. A recent study of new college graduates showed that chemsitry majors have among the best employment prospects, and some of the best starting salaries within the scientific disciplines.
The quality of a LSSU education is demonstrated by the top flight graduate and professional schools our graduates attend, such as: MIT, U.C. Berkeley, Syracuse, Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Johns Hopkins, UNLV, Texas A&M, Quinnipiac, Minnesota, Ohio State, Toronto, Oregon, etc.
Opportunity! At LSSU we offer hands on opportunities for student learning in all of our programs. We maintain a modern suite of chemical instrumentation that rivals that of many of the larger instutions in the region. And unlike many other universities, our facilities are devoted to undergradate education and student/faculty research. Combine that with our small class sizes (upper level classes typically have 8-15 students), and we offer a unique educational environment at a state university price.
All of our seniors have the opportunity to conduct a capstone research project on an area of interest to them and relevance to their professional focus. Students work closely with a faculty mentor to design a project, conduct their research, and analyze their results. Each senior presents a poster at a Friday evening forum, and a short talk at our Saturday Research Symposium. Abstracts for these projects are available here.
Environment! Close student faculty interaction is a hallmark of a LSSU education. A great way to get to know the faculty and other students in our programs is by joining the Chemistry & Environmental Sciences Club. Chem Club meets weekly in Huron Hall, and engages in a variety of social, professional, and service activities that range from camping, to tubing to attending ACS, AAFS, or other professional conferences, and volunteering for environmental cleanups and monitoring. For information on the Chemistry & Environmental Sciences club, visit their Facebook Page!
Many of the club members also choose to live in the historic Huron Hall Living Learning Community. In addition to a convenient location across the lawn from Crawford Hall (and next to the Library!), Huron Hall features large bedrooms, full kitchens, a library/study lounge, a full screen projector (with cable TV), and WiFi internet access.
Contact Dr. Wright or Dr. Heth for information about Chem Club or Huron Hall.

I'll be attending Medicine X this year as an ePatient Scholar Delegate and I'm really looking forward to it. But many other people are unable to physically attend the conference and, once again this year, the organizers are doing something about that. It's virtual, y'all!
