Do I need to take ENGL 101 if I want to be an English major, or ENGL 106 if I want to concentrate in creative writing?
No. If you have fulfilled your W1 requirement and feel confident about your reading and writing skills, you should begin your studies in English with a 200-level class.
When should I take the required course ENGL 199 (Survey of British and American Literature)?
As early as possible in the course of your studies in English at Bucknell – sophomore year, if possible.
Can an English major also minor in English (e.g., in American literature, English literature or creative writing)?
Where can I find out which major requirements a particular ENGL course satisfies?
Our "Course Requirements" web page contains links to lists of courses and major requirements by semester.
On my Academic Progress Report, the "Additional Electives in English" area is blank or reads "Not Met." Is this a problem?
No. There is no requirement for additional electives in the English major. This area simply lists any English courses you may have taken that do not fulfill specific major requirements.
Can ENGL seminars fulfill both the seminar requirement and a historical period requirement for the English major?
Do ENGL capstones count as seminars?
Do independent studies (ENGL 319) count as seminars?

Sarah's Gadget Showcase, Part 2 (Cooking & Food Gadgets)
This is the second post in my new Sarah's Gadget Showcase series. Post 1 (Audio Gadgets) is also available.
Disclaimer: The following has nothing to do with libraries, unless you're holding cooking programs 🙂
Like many people, I love to cook. I tend to stick to the basics. I am definitely not a kitchen appliance purchaser. I do not own a bread machine–if I make bread, I'm going to knead it by hand like nature intended. I'm old-fashioned that way. That being said, I do have nifty tools that I love.
Sarah's Love of Foooooooood
Let me start by explaining why I love to cook. Cooking is love. There is nothing in the world like creating a wonderful dish and seeing someone you care about enjoy it. Seeing the person smile and make that scrunched-forehead-while-chewing "OMG this is amazing" face… Seeing a hand reach for more… Sharing your techniques… Beautiful. You've created something that not only pleases the palate, but sustains the body. Magic.
I was taught as a child by a cast of amazing women in my family. I learned to make cookies and a killer pie crust from my great-grandmother when I was so small I still needed a step stool to reach the counter. My dad's mother taught me how to make salad that didn't include iceberg lettuce and how to cook vegetables properly (read: not over-cooked, gray, mushy Midwestern vegetables like I was served growing up). My mom's mother taught me how to make fudge, chocolate sauce, apple butter, and to can peaches and tomatoes. And my own dear mother taught me everything else I learned as a kid–lasagna, casseroles, cakes and frosting, cacciatore, potatoes a thousand different ways, on and on.
I became vegetarian in my teens and vegan a few years ago. With those changes, I learned to cook differently. I learned to cook dishes I had never heard of growing up, much less eaten — quick pickled cucumbers, pesto, scones, risotto, beer-battered mushrooms, potato tempeh sausages, congee, baby bok choy in garlic sauce, haupia pie, tempura, curries, even (*gasp*) how to properly cook white rice that did not come out of an Uncle Ben's box.
I love my diverse diet, and I love cooking for myself. Last night? Pesto and gnocchi, both made from scratch. A few nights before that? Black bean and pumpkin tamales made from scratch with homemade salsa and guacamole. Oh yeah.
And with all this cooking, I need tools that make the job easier or better. Here are my favorites.
The Gadgets
American Innovative quad timer ($29.95): You can set four separate concurrent timers that can all be adjusted, paused, or reset independently. The large LCD display shows up to two of the timers at once. Easy to control click wheel and buttons makes the timer priceless when your hands are covered in flour or oven mitts. Because I cook multiple things at once quite frequently, this is a lifesaver. I used to time one thing on the microwave, one thing on my phone, one thing on the oven, etc. Ridiculous. This is perfect. Just imagine how much easier Thanksgiving will be! Well, the dinner cooking part. I can't help with the family drama. That's all part of the traditional celebration, no?
OCD Chef Cutting Board ($24.99): Speaking of family drama, yes–there is an OCD Chef Cutting Board. I mean no disrespect to people with OCD (trust me) but it is what the device is called. A 9″ by 12″ beechwood board with measurements down to the millimeter, including various angles of cuts as well. Super, super precise and it makes me feel like an engineer while I'm chopping veggies.
Pixel oven mitts ($16.99): *tee hee* Fairly good oven mitts, and they make you look nerdy. With that extra boost they become really good oven mitts.
Oster automatic wine opener ($19.99): One-push of a button and your bottle of wine is opened up, cork drawn up into the opener. Push another button and it ejects the cork. Rechargable, works every single time, and is easy on the hands and wrists (which is why I bought it).
JA Henckels International knives ($varies): They start sharp and they stay sharp. They don't rust, bend, or loosen from the handle. They have a lovely weight, a perfect balance. I love how these knives feel in my hand.
Kapoosh knife block ($39.99): And to put my lovely blades in, Kapoosh! I'd seen these on gadget blogs and blown them off, but then I tried one in a store and literally said "Ooooooh!" aloud to no one in particular. It's a whole bunch of little teeny tiny rods (think very small dowels). Slide the knife in wherever you want in the block, and poof! It sticks. Better for the blades too — less wear and tear than in a traditional knife block.
Air Bake cookie sheets ($15-$20): Best cookie sheet on the planet. End of story. Stuff cooks evenly and doesn't burn on the bottom. I will never go back to a normal cookie sheet again. Ever! You can pry this one from my cold, dead hands. Then I'll probably reach up at least once, B-horror-movie style, and grab it back.
Circulon cookware ($varies): Circulon evenly heats things and doesn't burn them. Simple as that. I notice this particularly with the larger pans and pots, cooking chili or sauces. Evenly distributed heat is key when you're someone who may from time to time forget to "continuously stir."
Wonder Plunger measuring cup ($5.99): Suction-based, plunge the cup down to the exact measurement you need, pour liquid in, plunge the liquid out. Nothing wasted, no need to scrape the sides of a measuring cup with a finger (ahem, spatula, of course). This is a huge effort saver when it comes to viscous liquids like molasses, brown rice syrup, oils, etc. Best $6 I've spent of late.
Zojirushi Mr. Bento Stainless Steel Lunch Jar ($42.88): Bento! In a canister! In a little shoulder bag with cutlery! Cute, dishwasher safe, and perfectly sized. Downside? I wish I remembered to use it more. Laziness rules sometimes, and I just grab something portable and throw it into a container. This requires a modicum of forethought. It does make you look cool though.
Butter Boy butter (or vegan margarine) holder ($9.05): I <3 corn on the cob. I do not <3 putting margarine/butter on the aforementioned corn. Except when I use Butter Boy. Jam some margarine down into his neck, then push the plunger underneath him to push out exactly what you need. Curved perfectly for corn, no need to have messy hands ever again. Thank you Butter Boy!
Grandma Witmer's Old Fashioned Peanut Buter Mixer ($9.95): Yes, I eat natural peanut butter. Go ahead and crack the left-coast-vegan-Californian stuff now. It is yummier and better for you. So there. But it's a bitch to mix up the first time. This mixer screws on top of the jar in place of the lid, and then you just turn the handle. I'm excited now to crack open a new jar of peanut butter whereas before it induced cold night sweats hallucinating about spilling oil all over the floor and being too weak to stir a fork in the hard-as-rock peanut part. When I bought mine, there was just the one model. Now they have tons of choices with better ergonomics and for various jar sizes. Nice!
What do I still want to buy?
Breville Juice Extractor ($200-$500) – I like juicing. Veg, fruit, all mushed up…all good. But I hate pulp like the plague and the nasty airy chalky frothy junk you get on top of a lot of fresh juices makes me kinda nauseous. Voila! The Breville Juice Extractor even has a "foam separator attachment." Nice! At the cost though, this one's going to have to wait a while.
And…a good espresso machine – I was also recently exposed to a most excellent low-profile table-top espresso machine that I now want. Must…get…make…and…model. The problem is–home or office? Or both? Decisions, decisions.
Update: The espresso machine is an illy Francis Francis Y1 iperEspresso Machine. $295. Definitely want. Low profile, pretty, and *gasp* it comes in black!
Time to talk back! What are your favorite kitchen gadgets? What do you recommend to friends and family? What would you never give up? Pray tell. I have about negative $1,000 budgeted for kitchen gadgets for the rest of the year, and that debt ain't gonna spend itself. So bring it!

British Columbia Masters Degree in Criminal Justice & Legal Studies on-campus programs
When you think of attending graduate school for a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies program, you should know just how many exciting academic fields you might choose from. These two areas have some overlapping, but also represent different paths of study. The American criminal justice system requires a broad spectrum of trained specialists to enforce laws, prosecute offenders, assist victims, and implement security measures in communities as well as over the Internet to prevent crime and other safety breaches. If you are interested in furthering your education with an additional 2 years or so, depending on your subject, there are a variety of Masters Degree Programs in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies to choose from, and ways to refine your search for graduate schools. Read on to take a look at the choices.
On-Campus Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies programs: Overview
If you are ready to think about earning your graduate degree in Criminal Justice and Legal studies, it is likely you have a Bachelor's degree. Good. Just make certain you verify the admissions protocols and prerequisites with each graduate school as they may vary. In some cases you are getting experience via internships or fieldwork, whereas in others, you may want some kind of experience before applying.
How to choose a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies
Some programs are intended for current professionals, while others, such as paralegal studies, are designed as career preparation masters programs. What this means is that you should research well which academic path is known as a route to your intended career.
Heading to the courtroom? Those aiming for careers as attorneys might pursue Master of Law (LL.M.), Juris Doctor (J.D.), or Doctor of Juridical Science (S.J.D.) programs with various joint degree options at accredited law schools.
Want to understand and prevent crime, the criminal mind or the crime science or uphold the law? Master of Arts (M.A.) or Master of Science (M.S.) programs may be focused around a specific topic such as homeland security, forensic psychology, criminology, social work, justice administration, criminal justice, public policy, victimology, crime analysis, and paralegal studies.
Want to pursue a joint degree? The areas of criminal justice and legal studies are broad enough to find colleges and universities that offer joint degrees, such as the Master of Science in Criminal Justice (MSCJ) alongside with the Juris Doctor (JD). A JD/MSCJ program is commonly a combination of criminal justice courses and law school courses. Curriculum is mainly centered on law, the legal system, legal processes, and legal research but could also include criminal procedure and evidence handling.
Why Study On Campus?
Here are a couple of positive pointers to consider:
Convenience: While online study has a rep for being convenient, you may find many graduate schools have Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies programs with evening and weekend classes. There is something efficient about going to class, then the library and the laboratory all on the same premises. Chances are, if you are pursuing a Masters in Forensic Science or a Masters in Cybersecurity, having onsite facilities is a plus.
Build interpersonal skills: Administrative and management classes may involve some team building exercises, leadership training, and other people skills (observation, active listening) that you need hands-on learning for.
Face-to-face: A bit more of the same, but also the social learning experience shouldn't be shortchanged. Some students enjoy the interactions with classmates and faculty (lively discussion, brainstorming, networking).
Choice: Some programs may only be available on campus.
Finding a graduate school for Criminal Justice and Legal Studies
GradSchools.com makes it easy to find graduate schools with Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies programs. Here are some tips:
- First choose your subject (Criminal Justice and Criminalistics, Homeland Security, Law Enforcement, Legal Studies)
- Next choose graduate programs by location. This search will yield graduate programs in the area you specify (city, state, country).
Some of the listings you might find could include: Criminal Justice (MA), Master of Science in Criminal Justice, Master of Science in management-Homeland Security, J.D. Law, Master of Forensic Sciences, Law/JD/MBA. These are just highlights. Follow above tips to pinpoint the program for you.
Take the Next Step
Whether you are choosing to prepare for a potential career in law or in law enforcement, investigation or research. Choose a graduate school for a Masters Degree in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies degree program that is accredited by either the ABA (law degrees) AACSB (business) or the US Department of Education to ensure the quality and standards are being met. Then, take the next step!

Fall 2013
Artificial Grunge is the Fall 2013 collection theme, reflecting our collective memory, and the commercial memory, of grunge more than the actual grunge lifestyle. The grunge we have created can therefore be called artificial.
We picked grunge since it can be seen as the last real youth movement, it was truly rebellious and grass root. Today, in a world of fast fashion and medialized culture, these movements are picked up commercially almost before they even appear. The lines between what is "real" and "artificial" are blurring, and what is really "real" anyway? Was grunge itself ever real? Our grunge aesthetic is therefore mixed up and deliberately not an accurate blueprint of the 90s style, clashing the classic with top of mind-images from the grunge era.

My brother, about ten miles due east of us gets bigger ones pretty easily, especially as a summer thunder storm, and I think 7 inches has been the biggest one there. Haven't heard what he got yesterday.
FH, we had a few of those little showers the couple of weeks before yesterdays nice gentle one, so hope yours is on the way. And this one is no 'year maker or even a hay maker', but is salvaging the spring growth in our pastures. We did have quite a lot of old growth from the great year in 2014, so are relaxing just a bit and should make our brandings nicer with green grass for the branding areas, as well as leaving them in the same pastures for a while after branding so they have their bearings after that disturbance to their routine.
Sure hope the Sand Hills gets rain. Didn't you have a pretty late start on grass last year? We drove through some of the area last spring and thought it looked pretty sad far as pastures were concerned at the time.

I don't think you could ever possibly know what a beautiful experience reading your blog is. My own blogs and commitment to blogging seem to come and go with the wind, but your blog over the years has been a place for me to come and feel fed at a deep soul level, whether your posts are joyful or melancholy. You could post only once a year and it would be just as joyful for me to rediscover your enchanted way of seeing. Thank you.

Ambulance paramedics call for care on roads after several crashes including Manilla fatal and New England Highway, Tamworth crash
TWO lives lost. Eight injured. Six accidents. Eight vehicles towed. All in three days.
That's the shocking numbers of the carnage on local roads since Sunday, prompting a desperate plea from NSW Ambulance to take care on the roads.
Tamworth-based ambulance Inspector Sean O'Connor told The Leader the call outs to emergencies keep on coming.
"It's quite confronting these accident scenes," he said.
Often paramedics are first on the scene and they have to deal with the whole catastrophe and it can be heartbreaking.Ambulance NSW Inspector Sean O'Connor
"Often paramedics are first on the scene and they have to deal with the whole catastrophe and it can be heartbreaking."
Inspector O'Connor has more than 30 years' experience as a paramedic – most of it in the bush – and says fatal or serious crashes can be horrific for the emergency services.
"Paramedics attend all of these accidents, they're fathers, sons, brothers, wives, girlfriends, mothers, friends," he said.
In country areas, more often than not they know these people or someone connected to them.Ambulance NSW Inspector Sean O'Connor

The region's road toll stands at four for the year – almost one every week.
#Manilla crash driver dies in hospital, another recovering | Update https://t.co/UbZFNl3ua1 via @The_NDL— BreannaChillingworth (@breannachill) January 29, 2018
There has been three deaths in the Oxley area and one in Narrabri since the start of the month – two of those since Sunday.
In Manilla, a well-known 64-year-old local painter died in hospital on Monday night after suffering critical injuries when his Nissan Navara slammed into an oncoming dual-cab light rigid truck on Fossickers Way, near the intersection of Bennett's Lane.
Four other men inside the truck – aged in their twenties and thirties – suffered minor injuries and were treated by paramedics, and some were taken to hospital.
Police are investigating whether speed caused the Navara to cross double lines into the path of the truck.
UPDATE | Two men hospitalised after serious smash on outskirts of #Tamworth | Photos, video https://t.co/lcsOg7oArm via @The_NDL— BreannaChillingworth (@breannachill) January 29, 2018
"We're pleading with the public to slow down, drive to the conditions and obey the road rules," Inspector O'Connor said.
On Tuesday morning, a 67-year-old was trapped inside the wreckage of his green trayback ute after it collided with a small truck at the intersection of Burgmanns Lane and the New England Highway, just out of Tamworth.
Rescue crews worked for an hour to free the driver before he was rushed to Tamworth hospital suffering fractured ribs and facial injuries.
The 42-year-old truck driver suffered minor injuries.
Police are investigating whether one of the vehicles failed to give way at the busy intersection.

Later on Tuesday, a second car was t-boned, just a few short kilometres away on the same highway in Tamworth, with a lady aged in her fifties taken to hospital for a shoulder injury.
The driver of the dual-cab ute escaped injury in the crash at the intersection of Greg Norman Drive in Tamworth.
On Sunday, the body of a 59-year-old man from Elsmore, near Inverell, was discovered after a Toyota Celica crashed 6km out of Walcha.
Police believe the silver car crossed to the wrong side of the road, hit a culvert before becoming airbourne and slamming into an embankment. A passerby made the shocking discovery about 7am on Sunday.
On Monday morning, a truck tipped on the New England Highway near Kentucky, while a man, aged in his 60s, was taken to hospital after his white hatchback slammed into a light pole on Goonoo Goonoo Road in Tamworth later that day.

Between seasons: how to style transeasonal jackets
We all have our summer go-to looks (linen dresses, denim cut-offs and breezy tanks) and we all know exactly what we're doing in winter (leather pants, chunky knits and oversized coats) but there are all those other awkward points throughout the year where we can never figure out what to wear, and when we do, we either feel too hot or too cold anyway. These points are known as the in-between seasons, and they can cause us to completely forget how to put together a single outfit.
The secret? A transeasonal wardrobe of a few key jackets that can be worn on their own in the warmer months, layered with other pieces when it starts to cool down, and everywhere in between.
Here are our five favourite transeasonal jackets of the moment - all creative, weather-appropriate options that hit the current trends and can be thrown on whenever you're staring blankly at your wardrobe, unsure of what to wear.
The Statement Leather Jacket
You can never go wrong with a leather jacket, but this year, consider upgrading yours to a statement version, complete with colours, patterns and embellishements.
Pictured: Witchery Yoko Leather Jacket, Decjuba Arabella Floral Burnout Blouse, sass & bide On The Rocks Jean, Wittner Avar Heel.
The Modern Blazer
Blazers are another key piece that never dates, plus their lightweight look and feel makes them the perfect choice for in-between seasons! At the moment we're loving our blazers in satin and velvet finishes, royal-inspired checks and plaids, and gorgeous jewel tones.
Pictured: Witchery Yui Satin Blazer, Scotch & Soda Silk Pyjama Tank, Witchery Tabitha Bootie, Sportsgirl A-line Mini Skirt.
The Denim Biker
Once you own a denim jacket, you'll wonder how you ever lived without one! The denim biker shapes of AW18 are a modern take on previous seasons' oversized boyfriend styles, and they can literally be worn over everything in your wardrobe.
Pictured: Decjuba Lina Denim Biker Jacket, Forever New Blair Bonjour Paris Tee, Bardot Double Crossover Buckle Heel, sass & bide The Olive Branch Skirt.
The Army Jacket
If you're the kind of person that adores your denim jacket (and perhaps wears it a teeny bit too much) then it's time to invest in an army jacket! It's the perfect daytime option and the khaki colour goes surprisingly well over most wardrobe items.
Pictured: Scotch & Soda Embroidered Army Jacket, Sportsgirl Spot Crinkle Jumpsuit, Epokhe Notomy Sunglasses from General Pants, Rubi Shoes Bailey Baker Boy Hat, Wittner Bianca Sneaker.
The Printed Trench
Trench coats have always been hailed as one of the most timeless pieces you can invest in, and for good reason. They are the ultimate transeasonal item! Here, you can either opt for a classic beige trench that will never date, or have fun with 2018 colours and patterns.

Drifting is a means to hunt waterfowl, and it works
Most hunters know it's illegal to use a motor to sneak up on a raft of ducks. However, using a boat can be a tremendous method for a successful waterfowl hunt.
And, with all the rain the north state has received, it's a method that almost immediately afforded additional areas for unattached hunters.
Most large watercraft won't cut it. Anything you can manhandle will work best. A small aluminum boat or scull boat will do the trick. Decorate it with a camouflage such as reed panels, and you're set to drift a waterway in pursuit of ducks. You can do some great hunting while drifting, but most will need a motor to return to the point of origin.
There are sloughs throughout the north state that provide great drift-hunting opportunities. My dad and I regularly drifted the Sacramento Slough.
Use the motor to find the birds. Spot the birds, line up the boat with them, cut the motor and get down out of sight. Let the boat drift toward the raft of birds. Done properly, the birds won't have a clue you're coming up on them. Don't make a great deal of scraping noise shifting position in the boat, something that is radically magnified in the water.
Sluicing the birds while they're rafted in a bunch isn't the least bit sporting. As your watercraft nears them, they'll probably start getting a little nervous, and when you come into view, they'll probably want to change locations. If you work it right, you and your partner can pretty well pick which duck you want in your bag.
Your shooting will have little to no effect on birds a little distance away. Reset your position, get out of sight and make another drift toward other birds downstream.
With the 2012-13 season winding down, you have a few days to give this a try.
Current fishing
It's been cold in the mornings, but with a mostly clear sky, fishing opportunities in the lower elevations are almost limitless.
Port of Sacramento: One angler recently told me he launched his boat in the Port of Sacramento. After firing up his motor, he turned on the fish finder and it lit up better than a Christmas tree. He turned off the motor and started throwing swim baits. With five casts, he caught five stripers. The largest, right there at the docks, was a 10-pounder.
Others are drifting, trolling and jigging everywhere and doing well. The port's water is good, though you can't get any closer than 100 feet to the docks. Go down the channel, for instance at the fertilizer plant, and fish around the docks. There's good action there.
Stripers are available. Wade through enough schoolie-size fish, and you'll eventually tie into a lunker cruising these waters.
American River: There is an absolute great number of steelies in the river, and flows now make for tremendous opportunities. Some anglers work the basin waters above the Hazel Avenue Bridge. It can get crowded, but the catching has been good. Get on the bank just below the hatchery itself and numerous points downriver, drift the deeper holes and channels, and you'll get bit. Just make sure whatever you're throwing stays near the bottom. Sure, you're going to lose some gear, but you're also going to get bit. Glo-bugs, Spin-N-Glows, night crawlers, salmon eggs and roe are going to be your top bets.
Folsom Lake: The water level is near 60 percent of capacity, so you can launch and high-ball on the water. Sitting on the bank in your most comfortable chair, you can put a limit of trout on the stringer. Several limits have been seen by those on the bank at Granite Bay, the best around the boat ramp area and at Beak's Bite. Most of those caught have been recent planters, but there also are holdovers taking the bait. You can put your bait on the bottom with a sliding sinker or suspend it under a bobber. Both work. Crawlers and eggs will be your best bet.
Trollers have been working the top water in front of the dam. The top 10 feet has been the cruising region for trout. Almost any flashy little lure or a small Rapala has been attracting a bite.
Bass are in their usual winter lethargic mode. The bite is really slow, but if your heart is set on bass, work to 20 feet deep around drop-offs with plastics, and you might find a bite. Just work them slow.
Boca Reservoir: The road up to the dam is plowed, so there's plenty of parking space available. The lake is frozen over and safe enough for foot traffic. The lake is just over 40 percent of capacity, so the deeper water in front of the dam is where most anglers are boring holes in the ice. It's a fairly easy walk down the rocks to the ice. I've done best with Pautzke Red Label, Premium eggs here.
Caples Lake: This lake up Highway 88 also is frozen over with hikers having to bore through three feet of ice to get to the water. The best action has been in the spillway area and dam region. Drop a worm, Power Bait or crawler to the bottom, and crank it up a turn or two. Fishing for trout through the ice has been downright good.
Collins Lake: This lake behind Marysville is brim full, and anglers are picking up bass, catfish and trout. They had a holiday planting period of trout, and holdovers are still being caught. They'll restart their annual planting program in another couple of months. One angler, soaking Power Bait while anchored, caught eight trout and even a five-pound bass. The campground area and dam region are yielding nice stringers of 'bows, again for anglers soaking Power Bait.
Lake Amador: They're still planting 600 pounds of their cut-bow trout every weekday, and many of those being caught are the big, excess spawners. The best news is that most of the big fish being caught are being fought by those standing on shore. While the biggest fish last week topped 14 pounds, a couple of 12-pounders were caught and even a couple eight to 10 pounds. There's no problem launching a boat. The lake is now 10 feet from spilling, and both ramps are in the water. If you troll or fish from shore, stay shallow. Use a bobber or cast-a-bubble.
Camp Far West: Amazing. Not long ago, the lake was a big mud puddle, down very low. Today, the lake is full to the brim. However, fishing is slow because of the lack of water clarity. As river levels drop due to the lack of new rainfall, water entering the lake won't roil the water and the lake slowly will clear, and that will improve the bass fishery tremendously.

Many patients dread stepping on the scales at their annual check-up.
Many patients dread stepping on the scales at their annual check-up. "Unfortunately, obesity and related diseases, such as heart disease and diabetes, are some of the most prevalent problems we see," says Lisa Madsen, M.D., Providence Medical Group.
In fact, according to the Mid-America Regional Council, nearly 32 percent of all Leavenworth County residents are obese. Nine percent of the population over age 20 has been diagnosed with diabetes.
"These are definitely two health issues that require the ongoing management and guidance a primary care provider can offer," Dr. Madsen adds. "At an annual check-up, we can assess whether your current weight is healthy, and help you understand the importance of making healthier lifestyle choices, like exercising more, eating less or differently and stopping smoking."

Scottish Rugby and its partners have a wide range of initiatives to help grow the game in Scotland, and assist clubs to develop their facilities or obtain funding.
The Scottish Government will invest £3.65m, recovered from the proceeds of crime, in Scottish rugby club activities and facilities from 2011 to 2014. Clubs applied for grants of up to £50,000 to improve their facilities.
The Schools Rugby Champions initiative recognises the valuable contribution that teachers make to organise, coach and support rugby in schools across Scotland.
Five hundred S1 and S2 pupils are involved in this focussed course and hundreds more benefit from the broader programme across participating schools.
Scottish Rugby words with the Food Standards Agency (Scotland) to deliver a programme of food safety, healthy eating and rugby activities to thousands of primary school pupils across Scotland.
Scottish Rugby has established a new Club Sustainability Fund (CSF) consisting of £1,600,000 over the next four years.
Part of the Cashback for Communities scheme, G4S Street rugby initiative brings a portable version of the game to areas of urban and rural deprivation. It gives children the chance to try the sport, and learn the positive values inherent to rugby.
Our modern apprentices gain valuable experience and professional qualifications in rugby coaching, child protection, refereeing and first aid.


text: Alfalfa Growers Scouting for Potato Leafhopper June 14, 2013 02:23 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email —By Tracy Turner, Ohio State University Now is the time to be on the lookout for the potato leafhopper, a pest that can cause significant economic losses for alfalfa growers by reducing yields and quality, says an entomologist with Ohio State University's College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The bright green, wedge-shaped insects can cause hopper burn on leaves, stunting alfalfa plants. That can result in yellowing of alfalfa leaves and could cause significant yield loss and impact the plants' nutritional value, says Ron Hammond, with Ohio State University Extension and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center. Potato leafhoppers are an annual pest problem in Ohio in the spring as the pest migrates north from Gulf Coast states, carried on winds in storm systems. "In alfalfa, potato leafhopper is definitely our No. 1 pest," Hammond says. "It's an insect that, if allowed to go past threshold and develop young population, can lead to damage such as stunting. "Most growers have already had their first cutting, so now is the time for scouting for this pest because we know it has arrived in Ohio. Growers can begin scouting for the leafhopper once alfalfa regrowth reaches sufficient height for sweep-net sampling." In glandular-haired, leafhopper-resistant alfalfa, the economic threshold is three times the normal threshold, or three leafhoppers per inch of growth. In that case, the threshold would be 18 leafhoppers for 6" tall alfalfa, Hammond says. "If the resistant alfalfa is a new planting this spring, growers might want to use thresholds meant for regular alfalfa during the very first growth from seeding," he says. "After the first cutting, growers can then use three times the normal level threshold. "Growers who take the time to sample and spray are better able to control the pests, while those growers who don't, tend to get hit by them." More information on potato leafhopper, including how alfalfa-growing conditions might affect the threshold, can be downloaded here. Back to news

If you're into Corvette history, you know how much influence Zora Arkus-Duntov exerted over the first three generations of America's Only True Sports Car. Indirectly, Duntov also had an influence on this particular midyear-and the man who hid a fourth-generation ZR-1 inside it.
When Dren Adams was in high school in the late '50s, he attended a vocational-technical facility where he not only studied auto shop, but built what he called a "Poor Man's Corvette." That was when mechanically minded men across the country built hot rods using the bodies, frames, and powerplants they could find. Back then, those tended to be Blue Oval products, given the ready availability of used B.O. hardware, especially flathead V-8 engines.
Adams' creation was a flathead-powered '39 Mercury drop-top, but its naming (other than the formal name he gave it, "The Wild Hare") could be tied to an intra-Chevrolet memo that Duntov wrote in December 1953 titled "Thoughts Pertaining To Youth, Hot Rodders and Chevrolet." In it, he proposed, "...development of a range of special parts...[that] should be made available to the public," to modify the all-new V-8 that was in the works for 1955. You know the rest of that story: Not only did Chevrolet begin developing high-performance parts for that V-8, but so did the automotive aftermarket (especially after Chevrolet shipped Vic Edelbrock one of the first production engines). By the end of the decade, Chevy's reputation for high performance had been established, and it gave young men of the time something to dream about-and aim for. Thus, Adams' "Poor Man's Corvette," which appeared on a few magazine covers in the early '60s.
Fast-forward nearly four decades. Adams had developed such a fondness for the fourth-generation factory super-Vette-the four-cam, 32-valve, LT5-powered ZR-1-that he ended up with five of them. His familiarity with the C4 and other Chevys led him to put the powertrain and chassis hardware from a ZR-1 in a '57 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe, which he showed at Corvettes at Carlisle back in 1996, at the invitation of the ZR-1 Registry. "Chip Miller said, 'If you bring another car here, it's got to be all Corvette,'" he says. "So, I decided to do a '63 split-window."
Not just any '63, but one with the fourth-gen ZR-1 suspension, steering, brake, and powertrain parts inside it. As Adams puts it, "The idea was to keep the old styling, but to incorporate all new components."
He started with a majorly messed-up midyear. "After searching for over two years for a split-window car, my friend Dave Eckert, from Eckert's Rod & Custom, called me one afternoon to tell me of a totaled '63 in Pendleton, Oregon, that was for sale," Adams recalls. When he called to check on it, he found it was already sold-but not for long.
"To our surprise, when the new owner arrived to pick it up, he decided it was too much of a project for him, since it had been in a fire that had burned part of the firewall, dash, and roof," says Adams. Before long, the car was his-and on its way to Eckert's shop.
What needed help the most was the body, especially the engine bay, dash, roof, and driver's door areas, where the fire had done its worst. (See how it was brought back from the dead, as well as other project photos, at www.eckertsrodandcustom.com.) As for the ZR-1 parts that would go on, the chassis hardware came from a totaled ZR-1 Adams located in Portland.
But the engine was another story. "I actually found the engine up in Fairbanks, Alaska," Adams says. "It was a new crate engine that I'd bought as a spare for my other ZR-1s, just to have." To it, he added a new-in-the-crate ZR-1 six-speed manual transmission he'd located in Florida, and with that, he (and Eckert's) had all they needed to restore and update the midyear.
In all, it took about three years to transform the split-window from "carbecue" to the coolness seen here.
What's it like to drive? Need we ask? "It's a dream! It's really nice to drive," Adams says enthusiastically. "But it's nothing like the new 2010 ZR-1 I've got."
Is there another ZR-1 project in Adams' future? Maybe. "I've got a '54 Corvette right now, and I'm contemplating whether to put a ZR-1 engine in it or not," he says. "I'd hate to, because it's all there and all original, but the front end's got to be replaced on it."
If he does it, that "'54 ZR-1" would be in good company, though. Not only does Adams have this and the five other ZR-1s among the 13 Corvettes in his collection, but he's also got the "Poor Man's Corvette" that he built in high school, which he bought from his former shop teacher and restored.
But, as times have changed, building a Corvette of any kind has become a more-dollar-intensive proposition than in the past. The big piece of advice that Adams has for anyone considering any sort of Vette project? "Have a nice bank account!"

2006 Jeep Liberty ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Off-road capability.
Tougher and more trailworthy than most compact SUVs, the Jeep Liberty offers a good compromise between road worthiness and off-highway capability. Day in and day out, Liberty works like a car or wagon. It seats four people comfortably and can carry up to five and their gear. Fold the rear seats and it can move two people and some serious cargo.
Turn off the pavement, and Liberty can negotiate most trails with confidence. True to its Jeep heritage, Liberty offers superior off-road capability that sets it apart from the herd of compact urban cute-utes. True, the Liberty gives up some refinement and road agility to do this. It does not ride or handle as well as some of the other small SUVs. But the Liberty is among the best of the small sport-utilities for drivers who want serious off-road capability on the weekend yet need practicality and affordability during the week.
The mid-range Renegade looks the part, with its flatter hood, taller grille, off-road foglamps and taillamp guards. Renegade also features functional rock rails and skid plates. All-terrain tires are optional, as are GPS navigation and an overhead light bar.
But the economy-priced Sport and luxury-grade Limited models are plenty capable as well, and offer something the Renegade does not: the only diesel engine available in a compact or mid-size SUV. Liberty's 2.8-liter turbo-diesel uses advanced common-rail technology for low emissions, maximum economy, and performance to make you forget all about gasoline.
All-new for 2001, Liberty was extensively updated for 2005, with more comfortable seats and a more contemporary appearance. For 2006, all Liberty models come with Jeep's Electronic Stability Program (ESP), anti-lock brakes (ABS), Electronic Roll Mitigation, and all-speed traction control.
The 2006 Jeep Liberty is available in three trim levels: Sport ($20,970), Renegade ($22,860), and Limited Edition ($24,410). Each is offered with two-wheel drive (2WD) or four-wheel drive (4WD).
The standard engine in all Liberty models is a 3.7-liter V6. A six-speed manual transmission is standard in Sport and Renegade. A four-speed automatic is optional ($825) on those models and standard on Limited. (The base four-cylinder model has been discontinued.)
Optional on Sport 4WD and Limited 4WD ($1,360) is a 2.8-liter four-cylinder turbo-diesel that comes with a five-speed automatic. Liberty diesels also come with a bigger battery, P225/75 tires, 16x7-inch aluminum wheels, and an engine block heater.
Standard on all 4WD models is Command-Trac, a conventional part-time four-wheel-drive system with a two-speed transfer case. Full-time Selec-Trac is optional ($395) on all three trim levels, and retains a low range for serious off-roading.
Sport 2WD and Sport 4WD ($22,480) are entry-level models, although they do come with air conditioning, tilt steering, power windows, power mirrors remote keyless entry, engine immobilizer, six-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo, gray fender flares, P225/75 tires on 16-inch steel wheels and, as we mentioned earlier, ABS, electronic stability control (ESP), and traction control.
Renegade 2WD and 4WD ($24,370) add unique Trexx cloth upholstery, speed control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, deep-tinted sunscreen glass, vanity mirrors, and 16-inch aluminum wheels finished in Mineral Gray Metallic. Special exterior trim includes free-standing submersible halogen fog lamps, accent-color fender flares, tubular roof rails, functional rock rails, and tow hooks.
An Off-Road Group for four-wheel-drive Sport ($475) and Renegade ($375) adds heavy-duty engine cooling, P235/70 all-terrain tires, tow hooks, and skid plates for the front suspension, fuel tank, transmission and transfer case.
The Luxury Group ($1,245) for Renegade adds leather seats with power adjustment, upgraded inside door panels, power heated foldaway mirrors, and an overhead console with HomeLink transmitter and a vehicle information center (VIC) that allows the customer to program automatic locking, lighting, and other features.
Limited Edition 2WD and 4WD ($25,920) add upgraded seats and interior trim with satin-silver accents, security alarm, cargo compartment cover, P235/65 all-season tires on 17-inch Sparkle Silver aluminum wheels, and a spare-tire cover. Fender flares are body-color. Limited deletes Renegade's rock rails but adds lots of exterior brightwork.
Leather for Limited is available as part of a big Customer Preferred option package ($1,575) that includes the programmable overhead console, power seat adjusters, deep-tint glass, power heated outside mirrors, a security group, and an AM/FM/6CD stereo, steering-wheel-mounted audio controls and Infinity speakers.
Options for all Liberty models include a Trailer Tow Group ($365), Trac-Loc locking rear differential ($285), power sunroof ($700), Sirius Satellite Radio ($195), and a tire-pressure monitor. GPS navigation ($1,500) and UConnect with Bluetooth ($275) are available on Renegade and Limited ($1,500). Sport buyers can add some of these features as stand-alone options or as part of other option packages.
Safety features add to the Liberty's appeal. Standard on all models is an Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which enhances driver control and helps maintain directional stability under all conditions. Anti-lock brakes (ABS), all-speed traction control (TCS), a four-wheel Brake Traction Control System (BTCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), and Brake Assist are also standard.
Curtain airbags designed to protect outboard occupants from head injury in side impacts are optional ($490) and we strongly recommend getting them. The front airbags, which come standard, are multi-stage and will deploy with less force during low-speed collisions or if t.
With its seven-slat grille and round headlights, there's no question the Liberty looks like a Jeep.
The Liberty's body is tall, providing the driver with a commanding view of the terrain ahead. In its exterior dimensions, the Liberty fits between the Jeep Wrangler and Grand Cherokee. With an overall length of 174.4 inches, the Jeep Liberty is slightly longer than the Ford Escape. It's longer than the Wrangler, but significantly shorter and lighter than the Grand Cherokee.
The Renegade model features a flatter hood that complements the traditional round Jeep headlimps for a distinctive appearance reminiscent of the hardy old Jeep CJ3B of 1953-64. Freestanding fog lamps with black bezels, side sills to protect the body from road blast, tow hooks and a bright silver metallic applique across the body-color front fascia add to Renegade's rugged appearance. Bolted fender flares, which are gray on Sport and body-color on Limited, are molded in contrasting accent colors for Renegade, and feature chrome-plated attachment details to make sure they are noticed. Tubular roof rails are finished in brushed silver metallic. A black off-road light bar is optional on Renegade only.
A neat feature on all models: Yanking hard on the outside handle of the rear cargo door causes the glass hatch to swing up as the door itself is swinging out, which saves time and effort. Pulling on the handle with less force opens the glass only. Also, the door is hinged on the left and swings open from the right, better for curbside pickups at the airport. A lot of imported vehicles swing the other way, meaning you have to walk around the door when loading and unloading curbside.
Climb into a Liberty, and the first thing you'll likely notice is that it feels tall in the saddle. Its roomy interior accommodates five passengers and a generous amount of cargo, with 29 cubic feet of usable space behind the second row of seats. Sitting in the Liberty gives the driver a sense of spaciousness with 40.7 inches of headroom, more than other SUVs in this class. Door panels are scalloped out for elbow rests, and a grab handle is provided on the passenger's side of the dash.
The seats were noticeably improved for 2005 through the use of dual-density foam, but the side bolsters are still soft, a signal that the Liberty is set up more to absorb vibration than to be slung around corners. And you'll have to order the optional power seats to get seat-height adjustment. The standard cloth upholstery feels like it will hold up well. The Renegade front seats are tailored with unique cloth center panels and vinyl bolsters. The front seats in the Limited are more comfortable. They are chair-like buckets, softer and more contoured than the seats in the Ford Escape.
Getting in and out of the Liberty is more difficult than it is in some of the more carlike SUVs. The door openings are relatively narrow, the step-up height is a little higher, the seats have those side bolsters to get past, and your feet must clear relatively high side sills. A grab handle is provided, but it's located on the A-pillar above the steering wheel, not the perfect position to help shorter people swing inside.
The Liberty's rear seats are comfortable, capable of holding three people. Two adults should be happy here. There is even more rear headroom than in the front, and lots of space to slide your feet under the front seats, but knee room is limited. Sliding out of the back seat requires a bit of a stretch down, and your legs drag across the fender. So be sure to clean that area before putting any well-dressed guests back there.
The Liberty offers a generous amount of cargo space behind the rear seats. Caesar the 160-pound mastiff was happy to ride there. Two full-size garbage cans fit side-by-side back there, too, a feat we haven't seen duplicated in many SUVs. Grocery-bag hooks and cargo tie-downs are provided to keep things from rolling around. An optional cargo organizer opens into a shelf with compartment dividers to keep packages in place, and can be folded flat when not in use.
Fold the rear seats down and the Liberty offers a lot of cargo space (69.0 cubic feet), virtually the same as in the Escape. Dropping the split rear seat is a one-hand operation in the Liberty, as the rear seat bottom stays in place. But that means that the cargo floor isn't perfectly flat when the rear seats are folded down, and that is our biggest gripe with this vehicle. Nor are the rear seats readily removable as they are in the Toyota RAV4. Also, removing the rear headrests requires pressing two buttons at once to release them.
Cosmetically, the interior features a round motif, with round door handles, round instruments, round air inlets, a round horn pad. Textures and finishes are nicely done. Big gauges use black-on-beige graphics. The Limited adds attractive satin chrome highlights to the instrument panel and doors. The interior on the Limited is particularly nice and executed with quality materials. The Renegade gets silver mini-carbon highlights on the instrument panel that give it a serious/functional look consistent with its rough-and-ready exterior theme.
The manual shifter is on the tall side, but works well. The available leather-wrapped steering wheel is comfortable and features well-designed cruise controls.
The accessory controls work well and intuitively, and don't look like they came out of a sedan or a minivan because they didn't. The power window switches are located on the center console, however, more awkward than having them on the door. The manually operated heating and air-conditioni.
Driving Impression
The Jeep Liberty's 3.7-liter V6 works well with the optional automatic transmission, delivering good reponse. The V6 is rated at 210 horsepower and 235 pound-feet of torque. Fuel economy is EPA-rated 18/22 City/Highway mpg with the standard six-speed manual, 17/22 mpg with the automatic.
The available 2.8-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine is surprisingly satisfying, combining the horsepower of a small gasoline V6 with the torque of a V8 and the mileage of a four-cylinder. The diesel is rated at 160 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. The EPA says the diesel should get 21/26 mpg city/highway. During a week of testing, we averaged about 21 mpg, including a fair amount of time spent off-road in low range. On the highway, the diesel Liberty becomes an easy cruiser, showing just 2000 rpm on the tach at 70 mph. Our highway mileage was close to 24 mpg, some 30 percent better than the 18 mpg we saw with the gas V6. And, just like the V6, the diesel is rated to tow up to 5000 pounds with the optional hitch.
Best of all, the new diesel seems to suffer few of the tradeoffs associated with oil-burning engines of the past. There is practically no smoke, and very little noise or vibration. This is largely thanks to the new common-rail technology developed in Europe, which uses a high-pressure fuel injection system that burns diesel fuel much more cleanly than earlier designs. There is no warm-up period before starting, because the glowplugs are electronicaly controlled. The turbocharger is an advanced design with variable-geometry vanes that deliver significant induction improvements at both low rpm and high rpm, and at high altitudes.
The diesel comes standard with a stronger five-speed electronic automatic transmission, which benefits from advanced logic. Depending on throttle input,this transmission can deliver two separate second-gear ratios, a lower ratio for quicker acceleration, a taller one for smooth downshifts.
The Liberty doesn't ride as smoothly on the road as a Ford Escape, particularly over bumps and other irregularities where it bobbles a bit. Nor does it handle as well as the more car-like SUVs. Steering effort is relatively easy at low speeds for a 4x4, nice when parking. On the road, the steering is reasonably solid on-center, a benefit of its power-assisted rack-and-pinion design. But the long-travel off-road suspension, set up to absorb impact without being overly harsh, makes for lethargic transient response in lane-change maneuvers. That said, the Liberty rides reasonably well for a short-wheelbase 4x4. It doesn't beat the driver up as much as a Jeep Wrangler does. The wider tires that are standard on Limited and optional on Renegade seem to offer more stability than the narrower tires of the Sport. The Liberty handled winding Virginia backroads well and felt fine on crowded freeways around Los Angeles.
The electronic stability program that comes on Liberty models can help the driver avoid accidents. ESP is especially valuable when driving on mixed surface conditions such as patchy snow, ice or gravel. If there's a discernible difference between what the driver asks through the steering and the vehicle's path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle input to put the Jeep back onto the driver's intended path. The system is calibrated to offer more control of the vehicle under a variety of conditions, and to operate in a manner that is not intrusive in normal or spirited driving.
We've also found the Liberty capable of handling fairly gnarly trails. It tackled steep ditches and gullies on an off-road trail, thanks to its short front and rear overhangs and a suspension that articulates well. We appreciated its tight turning radius while weaving through a stand of tightly spaced trees. We clambered over big rocks and fallen trees and slowly forded boulder-strewn creeks with 18 inches of rushing water. Jeep says Liberty can handle 20 inches at 10 mph. Its tract.
Jeep Liberty strikes a balance between off-road capability and on-road sophistication. It's a good choice for drivers who like to venture into the backcountry, but need comfort and practicality in a daily driver. A higher degree of off-highway capability separates the Liberty from other small SUVs. Though less agile on the road than the so-called cute-utes, the Liberty is superior once you leave the pavement.

tophatmonocle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 136 diseños de 56 diseñadores freelance.
Top Hat Monocle
We're startup company that's working on a pretty cool product in the area of education software. The concept that the company name/logo tries to convey is the combination of playfulness and quality - kind of like "we're having fun, but we're a high end luxury product" to put a corporate-ish spin on it.
We're targeting education (universities and colleges primarily) but don't limit your thinking to that. Ideally the logo should be something more generally applicable.
If you look at the attached images you'll see our current logo (the top hat in a blue circle.) So the idea there is that it's a top hat inside a monocle (get it?? get it??!!)
Ok, so we really like that general idea and would like to stick with it. However, the current logo is a pretty stiff and not very sexy. The logo we're looking for will have the same general structure (i.e. top hat inside a monocle) but be more stylized, and easily portable to monochrome as well as other media (e.g. t-shirts.) Attached are a couple of examples of what the top hat might look like - they are only meant as a guide as to what we mean by stylized, not by any means specific examples of what we're looking for.
So, for instance instead of the gradient blue in the monocle, it should have a highlight - as on glass. The top hat should have no gradients, but instead use contrasting dark/light regions to give it structure.
As restrictive as this all sounds please feel free try put your spin on it - and if you think there's a better way of achieving the concept we're looking for, feel free to run it by us.

holy poop .. you guys are fast!!!
At least you can still use your next coords MBeans ...
Well, I can tell you that the island is St. Kitts in the Carribean. The coordinates appear to be close to the town of St. Peter's, not far from Basseterre.
I'm going to take a guess at what the complex is, and say that it's a sugar processing plant.
Ok, this is a place my wife and I went on our honeymoon. The coordinates are:
To make it difficult, you have to tell me what is at this location and what it was used for during the 2nd world war.
Hint: You can't see it above ground
The Catacombs under the steets of Paris, France. Parisian members of the French Resistance used the tunnel system during WWII.This is so cool! I wouldn't have thought of it as a honeymoon spot though :)Over 300 km of tunnels - wow! Good choice MBeans.

I don't know if that is the right answer because that is in Google earth commuities.

City lights: a new vision of the urban experience, a place of power and possibility for women. This season, Raf Simons, Artistic Director of Christian Dior, celebrates the strength and power of the city silhouette together with the women who wear it. Here, unafraid to combine femininity with masculinity, the traditions of mens tailoring with the Dior vision of the femme fleur, Simons presents a synthesis of the real and imagined: an abstracted cityscape with a new breed of female worker that plays the presiding role within it.
This season I wanted to propose a new woman, says Raf Simons. A woman with power and energy in a very definite way. I wanted to pursue powerful tailoring, to offer another reality, another function. This season is less about the leisure of the garden and more about the pace of the city. I am attracted to the reality of the urban world and environment, not just to the leisured world of the moment that world of the event or the party. This Dior woman inhabits both.
This season the Dior garden is abstracted, its bold colours transposed to the silhouettes of city workers, its forms echoed in traditional masculine fabrics. The seductive femme fleur is still there, but emboldened by her business suits, made more sensual by masculine tailoring. Peak lapels, double breasting and horn buttons take the place of more traditional elements of the feminine tailleur. While the flou utilises mens shirting for dresses, nylon for a new form of canage quilting constructed into gowns, with fluid, double-faced cashmere for cocktail attire. The graphic motifs of the cityscape abound: training shoes are transformed into a new take on the stiletto heel, their lacing transferred to become corseting for overcoats; the architectural, art deco motif of Atlas, to be found in the jewellery and on quilting, is here bowed in his submission to this new woman. Looks are layered and carefully constructed: a synthesis of feminine and masculine, the past and the present Dior, a slicing through history and a splicing of the genetic codes of clothing.
Meanwhile the futuristic pleasure garden of last season is replaced by the white, luminescent space of this: an abstracted, electric flowering from the ceiling, echoing the shimmering, distant lights of a city.
I wanted to approach the idea of the city as an abstraction, it is how I perceive the world of the city in this collection, says Raf Simons. It is an idea of the romantic and the real, a world of possibilities. At the same time I wanted to present women with freedom and possibilities in the way they dress too.

The full text of presidential candidate Barack Obama's nomination-acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention in Denver.
With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for the presidency of the United States.
Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest - a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and to yours - Hillary Rodham Clinton.
To President Clinton, who last night made the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next vice-president of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night.
To the love of my life, our next first lady, Michelle Obama, and to Sasha and Malia - I love you so much, and I'm so proud of all of you.
Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story - of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well-off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to.
It is that promise that has always set this country apart - that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well.
That's why I stand here tonight. Because for 232 years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women - students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors - found the courage to keep it alive.
DENVER, August 27, 2008
Below are the remarks of Bill Clinton as prepared for delivery at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 27, 2008:
By Bill Clinton
I am honored to be here tonight to support Barack Obama. And to warm up the crowd for Joe Biden, though as you'll soon see, he doesn't need any help from me. I love Joe Biden, and America will too.
What a year we Democrats have had. The primary began with an all-star line up and came down to two remarkable Americans locked in a hard fought contest to the very end. The campaign generated so much heat it increased global warming.
In the end, my candidate didn't win. But I'm very proud of the campaign she ran: she never quit on the people she stood up for, on the changes she pushed for, on the future she wants for all our children. And I'm grateful for the chance Chelsea and I had to tell Americans about the person we know and love.
I'm not so grateful for the chance to speak in the wake of her magnificent address last night. But I'll do my best.
Hillary told us in no uncertain terms that she'll do everything she can to elect Barack Obama.
That makes two of us.
Actually that makes 18 million of us - because, like Hillary, I want all of you who supported her to vote for Barack Obama in November.
Here's why.
Our nation is in trouble on two fronts: The American Dream is under siege at home, and America's leadership in the world has been weakened.
Middle class and low-income Americans are hurting, with incomes declining; job losses, poverty and inequality rising; mortgage foreclosures and credit card debt increasing; health care coverage disappearing; and a big spike in the cost of food, utilities, and gasoline.
Below are the remarks of Edward Kennedy at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado, August 25, 2008:
By Sen. Edward Kennedy
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Caroline.
My fellow Democrats, my fellow Americans, it is so wonderful to be here.
And nothing - nothing is going to keep me away from this special gathering tonight.
I have come here tonight to stand with you to change America, to restore its future, to rise to our best ideals, and to elect Barack Obama president of the United States.
As I look ahead, I am strengthened by family and friendship. So many of you have been with me in the happiest days and the hardest days. Together we have known success and seen setbacks, victory and defeat.
But we have never lost our belief that we are all called to a better country and a newer world. And I pledge to you - I pledge to you that I will be there next January on the floor of the United States Senate when we begin the great test.
Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
For me this is a season of hope - new hope for a justice and fair prosperity for the many, and not just for the few - new hope.
And this is the cause of my life - new hope that we will break the old gridlock and guarantee that every American - north, south, east, west, young, old - will have decent, quality health care as a fundamental right and not a privilege.
We can meet these challenges with Barack Obama. Yes, we can, and finally, yes, we will.
Barack Obama will close the book on the old politics of race and gender and group against group and straight against gay.
And Barack Obama will be a commander in chief who understands that young Americans in uniform must never be committed to a mistake, but always for a mission worthy of their bravery.

I'm a rancher who has made my living raising cattle and growing wheat, barley and alfalfa in Montana, a beautiful place with soaring peaks, pristine rivers and endless prairies. I'm probably a little biased, but I think it's the best place in the world to raise a family, to start and grow a business, and to build a community.
When I ran for governor of Montana, I had never before held elected office. I chose a Republican, John Bohlinger, to be my lieutenant governor, with the simple proposition that we could get more done working together than we could fighting. Because Montana really isn't a red state or a blue state. As Senator Obama might put it, we're a united state.
And so in three-and-a-half years, working together—Republicans and Democrats in Montana—we have cut more taxes for more Montanans than any time in history, increased energy production at the fastest rate in the history of Montana, invested more new money in education than ever before and we created the largest budget surplus in the history of Montana. That's the kind of change we brought to Montana, and that's the kind of change President Barack Obama is going to bring to America.
Like Senator Obama, my family has roots in the Great Plains. My grandparents were immigrants who came to Montana with nothing more than the clothes on their back, high hopes and faith in God. My family didn't have much in our little house. But a few things stand out in my memory: a crucifix and, on our kitchen wall, a framed picture of President Kennedy. My parents never even graduated from high school, but President Kennedy's idealism and spirit of possibility inspired them to send all six of us children to college. And when he said, "we're going to the moon," he showed us that no challenge was insurmountable.

The father of Cardinals receiver Larry Fitzgerald has seen enough.
Larry Fitzgerald Sr., a sportswriter who occasionally opines about his son's athletic endeavors, took to Twitter on Sunday and ripped the Cardinals as they went through a dismal 58-0 loss to the Seahawks.
"Pathetic performance by Arizona Cardinals," Fitzgerald wrote. "Cardinals loss 9 straight can't do anything right."
Fitzgerald also referred to the blowout loss as, "Humbling embarrassing frustrating angering disappointing painful.What happens when u quit!"
The elder Fitzgerald also referenced Larry Jr.'s high school experience, when Larry Sr. transferred his son to a different school because Larry Jr.'s school wasn't competitive on the field.

Larry doesn't have the option of transferring now. He's stuck in Arizona.
