Is this a car review on mtbr? Why yes, mountain bikers need to get their bikes to the trailhead after all. And we have unique auto needs. We need a vehicle that will haul bikes first and foremost. We need a car that will get us to the trailhead through twisty mountain roads, broken pavement and logging roads and dirt parking lots. We need a car we can change in and sleep in, a vehicle that can regulate our body temperature back to normal from the verge or frostbite or heat exhaustion.
And yes, make it affordable and make it economical on the fossil fuels we reluctantly consume.
Enter the Subaru XV Crosstrek. It is new for 2013 and it in a nutshell is an Impreza that has been raised several inches. The surprising part is it works. It works well enough for us to say that it is our favorite car in the whole Subaru line-up.
Subaru XV Crosstrek Video Review
Subaru took the Impreza, jacked it up a couple of inches, added some plastic body cladding and some exciting colors, a roof rack and, voila…high-roader.
The Impreza hatchback is the latest to get this treatment, and while it's a little more involved, that really is basically the gist of its transformation into the $22,805 XV Crosstrek. While the design of the Impreza is a little bit on the awkward side, it looks just right as a high rider. And the XV Crosstrek is definitely that. The little 5-door has 8.7-inches of ground clearance, more even than a Jeep Grand Cherokee, although it sits lower and is easier to get into than a conventional compact crossover. Chunky wheels with a blocky spoke design combined with unique front and rear bumpers help give it the appearance of a space buggy, especially when finished in its signature Tangerine Orange Pearl paint.
During our week with it, one friend called it 'fugly' while ten others called it 'awesome looking.' Tell you what, this is 10x better looking than the similar-sized Subaru Forester. And it looks noticeably better than the current generation of Subaru Outbacks.
The interior is identical to the Impreza's, which means plain, but appointed with excellent visibility and lots of room for the compact class. The main difference is a standard rubber cargo tray for hauling mucky gear in the back.
The great news is the vehicle weighs in at about 3100 pounds which is up to 500 pounds lighter than its SUV and CUV peers. The 2.0-liter flat-four-cylinder engine only has 148 hp. All-wheel-drive and a five-speed manual transmission are standard, but with the CVT automatic the vast majority of buyers will choose, the XV Crosstrek is a little slow getting up to speed on the highway. And as we mentioned in the video, the XV Crosstrek feels light on its feet. The CVT transmission seems to squeeze out all the useable torque out of the engine efficiently and gets the car moving pretty quickly. The other bonus is the car coasts like a champ. Coasting is underrated and it seems to be how many manufacturers are squeezing good mileage out of modern cars. Eliminate drivetrain drag and manufacturers are rewarded with an extra 3-5 mpg.

Marist Saw More Than Enough of Nazareth's Running Game
The Roadrunners threw the ball only three times in their victory on Friday night, and that's exactly what they wanted to do.
Go to any high school orientation, and one of the main pieces of advice you're likely to hear is "Be Yourself." Don't give in to peer pressure; don't force yourself to do anything you don't want to do. Be you. Do what you do.
And that's exactly what Nazareth did on Friday night against Marist. With running backs Rudy Romagnano and Josh Moore, the Roadrunners were going to run the ball more than 90 percent of the time.
That was no secret to Marist coach Pat Dunne. It was hardly a mystery to any spectator in the rain-soaked bleachers. The Roadrunners were going to run until Marist stopped them, consistently. They were going to run until they were forced to do something different.
They never had to.
Romagnano broke a 77-yard touchdown run on his second carry of the game and Nazareth went up 7-0. From there, Marist was always fighting to get back in the game, and the Redhawks never once held a lead. When the dust had settled, Nazareth had powered its way to a 33-20 victory.
"We need to just learn from this and get better," Marist's Ryan Meyer said. "We need to respond to what they're doing to us. We just need to work harder."
The RedHawks (3-2 overall, 3-1 East Suburban Catholic) tied the game at 7-all midway through the second quarter, but Nazareth (4-1, 4-1) responded immediately, and it was Romagnano who finished the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run to give the Roadrunners a 14-7 lead.
It was a lead they would never relinquish, and it was instrumental in allowing Nazareth to consistently run the ball. The Roadrunners never felt the pressure of trying to score quickly. They never had to do anything out of their comfort zone. Nazareth QB Sam Poulos threw the ball only three times Friday night, just once in the second half.
Dunne didn't think his defense was bullied by Nazareth's offensive line. In fact, he thought the defense's physical play was one of the positives to come out of Friday night's loss. On half of Romagnano's carries, Marist's defense stuffed the bruising tailback for three yards or less.
"Our defense, I thought, came to play physical and did a good job tonight in regards to shutting down certain things we were worried about," Dunne said.
Yet it only took a handful of big plays from Romagnano to make the difference.
And those big plays came because of a true commitment to the run. They came within the normal flow of Nazareth's offense.
They came the Roadrunner way.

What Marist also saw and that never seems to be reported was the unsportsmanlike conduct of the Nazareth student fan body who continually chanted BULLSHIT BULLSHIT every time Marist scored or Nazareth was penalized. I'm sure the Sisters of St. Joseph are very proud of the lack of morals displayed as are the parents, especially for the money they pay for their childrens education and a moraly strict catholic upbringing. I guess their display falls under the Spirit section of the schools Mission Statement!

I do recognize the fact that those chants existed. And even as someone who was part of those high school and college student sections, I never liked that chant. But I don't think it was that important to be put in my story. Best thing is to bring this up with the Nazareth administration. Thanks for reading.
10:33 am on Sunday, September 25, 2011
My comment wasn't a snipe at your article, I apologize if you interpreted it that way.It was very good. I just wanted to point out that although they had a victory it wasn't all that Golden, It was tarnished by the behavior of the student body. A similar e-mail will be sent to the Nazareth Administration be rest assured! With that being said one final note. Had that been the Marist student body, a handful of Marist students or even one, history has shown it would have been called out, in a heartbeat!

What Student Body? Marist calls themselves the Rowdies??? They should be embarrased to say the least! Every game we parents look to our Redhawk Rowdies to get the crowd going and to help our team get the victory and every game we are disappointed. Every visiting team that has come to our field this year have cheered louder and longer than our so called "Rowdies". Our student body needs to learn from the other schools and should protect our home field! NO visiting team should have a larger student body than the home team! The band needs to get more involved as well!
11:35 am on Monday, September 26, 2011
I agree whole heartidly with you however, they are held in check by one of the Deans of Students. She has the student body under the thumb screws.She throws detentions around like a drunken sailor with $20 bills on leave. She cruises the student section like a shark watching them and taking notes. This has been a complaint from both my sons and ALL their friends in the 6 years I've been affiliated. They are afraid to express themselves for fear of reprisal for something she doesn't like or she see's that violates the conduct code! Both my sons play, one in college one at Marist. My oldest and youngest played with both your sons on Raiders. Believe me this frustrates me just as it does you but there is a reason for it! God forbid you should ever have dealings with her!

Soulds like your a little upsat your son didn't follow in Andrew's footsteps to Brother Rice. Perhaps you were happier with Brotjer Rice?

Not at all unhappy with Marist. And will always support Br. Rice. Both excellent schools, best decisions we made for all 3 of our sons. Just need the Marist Rowdies to "GET ROWDY" !!!!!

SOME STUFFS: Teengirl Fantasy have shared first track from forthcoming second album
Almost two months ago, Teengirl Fantasy made the announcement for their second album, Tracer (R&S/True Panther Sounds), and now they're revealing a track for all to hear. This sounds like incidental/soundtrack music from the 80′s, but perfected. There's someone more to this that I like, but I want to hear how this pieces in with the rest of it.

The Law of the Sea
Davy Jones administers the trade in the souls of men.
Pearls Before Swine
An action-adventure movie based on a kids ride at a theme park is hiding a real national treasure.
More Than This
Knight and Day delivers all the profundity that Inception only promises.
Explaining the Madness
A new theory to help the viewer unravel the cult classic.
'"The Dark Knight," then, is a conservative movie about the war on terror. And like another such film, last year's "300," "The Dark Knight" is making a fortune depicting the values and necessities that the Bush administration cannot seem to articulate for beans.' Mystery novelist Andrew Klavan, "What Bush and Batman Have in Common," The Wall Street Journal.
"Flaws aside, Spielberg's masterpiece is, I believe, a rather important and uniquely American work of art. The idea of a small-town flatfoot realizing that his duty requires him to step on a boat and head off to sea is a metaphor that not only resonated with WWII veterans in the 70s, but still resonates today with anyone who's had to leave the comforts of home to go confront a threat. Also, with its entire story circling down to that amazing moment when the grizzled old seadog Quint has gotten a look at the beast he's going to be confronting and decides to unpack and assemble a fearsome harpoon, the film strongly echoes Melville, as well as all the other literature and art that's been inspired by America's centuries-long quest to tame the Atlantic ocean. This is one of our touchstone movies that won't go out of style until people have lost their fear of sharks, the ocean, drowning and the unknown in general—in other words, never." Ryan Stewart, Cinematical. In context of a review of a new documentary on Jaws titled The Shark is Still Working.
Science Fiction novelist John C. Wright reviews Lady in the Water and suggests that critics missed the point. It's the first review of this film I've seen that makes me want to watch it. A quote on myth and critics: "When something supernatural or something epic happens to us in real life, we have no means of dealing with it except what we have learned through stories. Myths are the soul of the civilization. When a war starts, for example, whatever the governing myth is in the society dictates how men will react to this epic circumstances: if Viet Nam is the governing myth of the society, we will react to all wars according to what that myth says, and we will call the war a quagmire. If David and Goliath is the governing myth in society, then we will root for the little guy. So the movie had to deal with the question of what happens to a man who over-intellectualizes his myth. What do you do when you do not have a myth ready to deal with things of mythic magnitude in life? The character, to make this point, had to be someone who knew stories backward and forward, but who was not himself a creative person: a critic, in other words. Someone who sucks the magic out of myth-making for a living. Of course he has to come to a bad end: the point of the story is that we need stories to live, we need the inspiration as a lantern in the dark. A man who throws that lamp away, according to the logic of the story theme, has to stumble." The article also reviews and interprets Take the Lead.
If you don't have time to watch Modern Times, Citizen Kane, Brazil, The Wall, E.T., the Australian satire Bliss, Office Space and The Matrix, then steal a few moments to watch More, the stop-motion-animated film that captures the message of those films with the density and essentialness of a zen koan. In the age of time compression, look for this as the trend of future filmmaking: two years to make a six-minute masterpiece that is itself a condensation of 70 years of filmmaking.
Reader David Schaap has blogged a great interpretation of George Clooney's feel-good political film (the black and white one, I mean). "This film is not about the wanton abuse of political power for self-aggrandizing purposes and the persecution of liberals and other political enemies during the 50's. Oh, no. It is about the persecution of smokers today." Great stuff. "Are you now, or have you ever been, a smoker?"
Just getting through a major back-log of e-mail and came across this link to a blog entry by Mike Lynch in Sydney on The Matrix. "The Matrix is a metaphor for capitalism, under which humans (the proletariat) are kept in a state of passive illusion (false consciousness) while the machines (the bourgeois) feed off their 'energy' (alienated labour). That's why the humans-as-batteries scenario is necessary, even though it's just silly in science-fiction terms - for the metaphor to work, the bad guys have to be stealing the labour of the good guys." Funny and oddly satisfying . . .
Matt Bailey has a review of Metropolis at Not Coming to a Theater Near You, a DVD and video review site. Pretty much sums up my experience: "Metropolis has to be one of the most talked-about and written-about of silent films, yet I find that I have next to nothing to say about it. As visual spectacle, it is perhaps without equal in its era. There is no question that Fritz Lang was a crackerjack conjurer of images, one who continues to influence film technique and style to this day. Yet under the surface (and what a surface!) of Lang's film churns a narrative that is, at best, befuddling, and, at worst, silly." A nice, quick read that gets its point across without fuss.
Jeff at the Beautiful Atrocities blog calls to our attention his discussion of Zhang Yimou's Hero, suggesting that it may not be promoting pacifism but passivism. As for me, I'm off to see Zatoichi this weekend instead.
Roger Ebert's take on A Cinderella Story is couched in the form of an open letter to a teen-age boy. Apparently Mr. Ebert has untapped skill as a comedian. "Even when a critic dislikes a movie, if it's a good review, it has enough information so you can figure out whether you'd like it, anyway. For example, this review is a splendid review because it lets you know you'd hate A Cinderella Story, and I am pretty much 100 percent sure that you would."
Here's a provoking take on Lars von Trier's 2003 film as a meditation on Matthew 11.20–24. "I submit that Dogville makes more sense and is meatier when seen as a religious film rather than a political one, the unfortunately crude and literal closing credits notwithstanding. But as a religious work of art, Dogville is a rare breed today—unapologetically moralistic, and displaying and justifying the most unpopular Christian doctrine of all—Hell."

We're sorry for the confusion. The recipe stands correct in calling for meringue powder. Meringue powder is made with dehydrated egg whites and is used in making royal icing and other meringue-based confections. Check the editor's note below on how to order meringue powder if unavailable in your area. Yes, the graham crackers are already covered with chocolate, but spreading melted chocolate on them acts as a sort of "glue" to adhere them to the horse cookies. Riesen caramels are not square but rectangular in shape. I will agree they are adorable and looked too cute on the table at a recent baby shower that was given for one of ourTest Kitchen staff.

The directions made no sense. First of all, it isn't called "meringue powder", it is "cream of tartar". You say to spread chocolate on a graham cracker cookie, but they are already covered in chocolate. Your description of how to use the caramels, which are already chocolate covered, by "brushing the long sides with chocolate". What long sides? They are square candies. This is confusing, and no wonder no one has given it any stars. It is a shame, because the end result in the pics are adorable.

I am a regular here. Being a meat eater that is no mean feat! The food is perfectly balanced in flavour and texture. The set meals are well put together. I previously wasn't a fan of the sushi but this has got so much better recently. I recommend the 'itadaki course' with kakiage tempura(last time I ordered extra on the side, it's so good). Also the sesame and season puddings are lovely, even though the dessert is sugar free.Good beer, wine and saki selection. The staff are always helpful and relaxed. I always leave feeling satisfied and happy.

Lovely little restaurant, cosy, comfortable, and with a small but excellent beer/wine selection (as well as a couple of very good sake options). The food was inventive and very good - and being vegan it's a real pleasure, not to mention a novelty, to be able to order Japanese food with confidence. Service was very friendly and pleasant, though a bit slow when I visited, but then the place was nearly full and there was only one young guy working front of house so understandable.

Since I discovered UD shadows, I haven't used another brand. The colour selection is unique and vibrant, the pigments are rich and long-lasting, and they blend well. The subway-tokenesque packaging is also pretty cute. I wish they weren't almost $20 CDN each, but they are well worth it. I like buying the palettes as well.
Urban Decay makes amazing eyeshadow. The pigments are super vibrant. They go on easy, blend well, and don't crease like most eyeshadows (without primer). The color range is great. They come in shimmer or matte which is perfect. And they last forever. Hands down the best eyeshadows ever.

Urban Decay makes the best eyeshadows, hands down. I've tried MAC eyeshadows (and I know I'm in the minority) but I was not impressed. I find Urban Decay to be much more pigment rich as well as easier to apply/remove. I love the variety of colors as well. Pair it with the Urban Decay Primer Potion and you've got a match made in Heaven.
I love urban decay eyeshadow, it always goes on so smoothly and is definitely one of my favorites. I used to be a slave to MAC but then once I moved into an area that had a Sephora I realized what I had been missing. They also have so many different colours to choose from, it's unreal. Also many of them are not only funky, but also complementry.
Urban Decay definitely has some of the best eyeshadow you can buy IMO. They have an awesome color selection. You can go subtle or out-of-the-box easily with their shadows. Anyone can use these shadows as they are easy to work with and blend well. The colors are vibrant even without a base. They are totally worth a try.
I have an Urban Decay eyeshadow pallette with these colors: Smog, Mildew, Oil Slick, Last Call, Chopper, Maui Wowie (my favorite), Shattered, Polyester Bride, Grifter, and Sin. Every single one of these are shimmery, glittery, and metallic. They are so terrifically bold and dense, and perfect to mix together or blend. Smooth stuff, and it's not powdery (it won't dust all over your face). I won't even bother buying other eye shadows. They make my eyes stick out and look dramatic, but whether you want them dramatic or light is your choice, you can use Urban Decay eye shadow both ways. It's a definite recommendation. And the packaging is always gorgeous!
I wasn't too happy with these. I tried a dark color and a shimmer color to line my eyes and they were just too dull and didn't pop. I also felt like I needed more than one coat for the dark color. I felt mac was 10x's better.
I swear, every time I go into Ulta or Sephora I'm tempted to buy one of these shadows even though I already have a ton. They have an amazing assortment of colors that will look the same on your eyes as in the box and last forever. Definitely my "HG" brand for eyeshadow.

happy Review by cowboyfan
Quality Value Price So far I love this thing. I've been buying Sansa players for years but the headphone jack or something else usually went bad on them after a year or so. There are a lot of great features on this player. I like the lyrics printing on the screen even though I don't really use that function. The player is almost always in my pocket while I work / workout. The sound quality is awesome. You won't be disappointed with it. (Posted on 2/15/13)
Excellent MP3 Review by Jack
Price Value Quality I bought this MP3 for our 9 y.o. for Christmas. It arrived in plenty of time and I was easily able to load it up with music. My son has figured out most of the functions without even looking at directions. The price I paid was so much less than Amazon, it blew my mind. (Posted on 1/3/13)
Sony Walkman MP3 player Review by spacecase
Price Value Quality I bought this Walkman MP3 player for my daughter as a Christmas present I had researched a lot of other players and had decided on this one because of the reviews and price. It is a great player and has a lot of great features and the sound is great too. The only con is that we didn't like the headphones, not a fan of the hard ear buds they don't fit our ear or stay in. Got a pair of soft in the ear instead and they work great. The other con was the shipping I had ordered it 2 weeks before Christmas and it said 3-5 days which should have been plenty of time but did not receive it til 2 days after Christmas. It would have been nice to have had it under the tree but I had to tell my daughter she would be getting a late present good thing she is 12 and doesn't still believe in Santa. Other than that we were very satisfied with this player and have already loaded all the songs we can on it. (Posted on 1/1/13)

Had dinner with Jeff and Adrienne over Thanksgiving. Jeff asked if I blogged regularly. Adrienne suggested there would be a parent audience hungry to read my posts. It was humbling to think I already had an audience, but hadn't written much. Jeff said he blogged twice a week. He also said his blog was heavily edited so as not to offend any current or potential clients. Since I have no clients......and no editors, if anything I write offends anybody, I apologize in advance. Feel free to let me know how hurt you are in a comment. I promise

My intent is to use this blog to communicate about the Fulbright Distinguised Award in Teaching. In January, 2010, I will be traveling to Israel as a Fulbrighter to work on creating "virtual" exchanges between schools. Right now, I am still in the paperwork process. Beginning August 17, I will be in Washington DC to discuss the Fulbright award in great detail. Stay tuned.

Mushroom and Shallot Quiche
- Cooking Time: 25
- Servings: 6
- My friend's (Winner of the quiche contest) Best Pie Crust:
- 3 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable shortening
- 1 egg
- 4 tsp water
- 1 tsp vinegar (apple cider works best)
- Filling:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 medium shallots
- 1/2 pound mushrooms(cut into 1/4-inch slices)
- 4 teaspoons chopped FRESH thyme, divided
- 3/4 cup whipping cream
- 2 large eggs
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- 2 thinly sliced green onions (optional)
- 2 tablespoons finely grated Gruyère cheese
Cut the shortening into the flour DO NOT use a mixer
Makes 2 regular size pie crust
Dough for pie crust can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer dough to pan, pressing onto bottom and up sides of pan; trim any excess dough. Chill 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake crust for 20 minutes. Using fork, pierce bottom of crust all over (about 10 times). Bake until golden, about 10 minutes. Brush lightly with egg white. Cool. Let stand at room temperature.
For filling:
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add shallots; sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Increase heat to high and sauté until liquid is absorbed and mushrooms are tender, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons thyme and cook 1 minute. Transfer mixture to plate. Cool mushrooms completely.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Place cooled crust in pan on baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining 2 1/2 teaspoons thyme. Drain mushrooms, if needed. Scatter mushrooms over thyme. Whisk cream, eggs, salt, and pepper in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over mushrooms. Sprinkle with green onions and cheese.
Bake quiche until custard is set, about 25 minutes. Cool 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Makes 6 servings.
Ever since then, I have been inspired to bake quiche. I found this recipe on a website and modified it to my taste. I made this last sunday for my book club party and it was a HUGE hit! The trick is to use fresh thyme and mushrooms and serve it hot!

If you have earned dual credit while in high school and are interested in applying for admission to Missouri State, please request that the college or university the credit was awarded through (not your high school) mail an official transcript to:
Missouri State University
Office of Admissions
901 S. National Avenue
Springfield, MO 65897
Missouri State University awards credit for most college-level courses taken as dual credit if the course credit is posted on an official college transcript from a regionally accredited college or university. Exception: Credit for college work that involves remedial or highly technical content may not be accepted.
We have no limit on the number of dual credits accepted. General-education courses are more likely to be accepted than credit for major-specific courses. Check with the academic department, however, before assuming your dual credit will count toward your major.
To view how your credits will transfer, use our Transfer Course Equivalency Guide.
Missouri State Advantage Scholarship
The Missouri State Advantage Scholarship is a new scholarship for students with Missouri State dual credit. Find out more about Missouri State University Dual Credit.
Value: | $1,000 |
Number Available: | Unlimited |
Selection Criteria: | Awarded to entering freshmen who completed six or more credit hours through the Missouri State University dual credit program with a cumulative MSU grade point average of 3.00 or higher. Cannot be combined with any other MSU scholarships with a value of $1,000 or more. |
Renewal Criteria: | The scholarship is renewed for one year (i.e., for the sophomore year) for students who complete 30 credit hours at MSU during the first year with a cumulative MSU grade point average of 3.00 or higher. |
Application: | Apply for admission by June 1 for the fall semester. No special application is required. The scholarship will be awarded automatically to qualified students after grades are posted for their final semester of dual credit enrollment. |
Dual Credit FAQ for Admitted Students
The following information is designed to answer questions most frequently asked by admitted students who have taken college courses while still in high school. Please read carefully to ensure you receive proper credit.
Will I receive transfer credit for my courses at Missouri State?
Missouri State University awards credit for most college-level courses taken as dual credit if the course credit is posted on an official college transcript from a regionally accredited college or university. Exception: Credit for college work that involves remedial or highly technical content may not be accepted. We have no limit on the number of dual credits accepted. General-education courses are more likely to be accepted than credit for major-specific courses. Check with the academic department, however, before assuming your dual credit will count toward your major. Please use our Transfer Equivalency Guide to see how your credit transfers to Missouri State.
When will I learn how my courses transfer?
If you have not already received an evaluation of how your courses transfer, you will receive one when you come to campus for our Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (SOAR) program. During SOAR, an advisor will review your evaluation with you and use it when helping you to select the courses you will take during your first semester at Missouri State. When you come to SOAR, you will need to bring copies of your college grade reports or transcripts showing the name of the college and the course code, course number, credit hours, and grade for each course you have taken. If your grades from other colleges are available to you online, you can bring a screen print of those grades. We cannot use your high school transcript for this purpose.
Do I need to request official transcripts showing my college credit?
Yes. The copies that you bring with you to SOAR will be used to prepare a tentative evaluation of your transfer credit, but we will need your official transcripts from each college before your evaluation will be complete. Please request the registrar at each college to mail your transcript to the address shown below.
What if I have already had an official transcript sent to Missouri State?
If we had an official college transcript for you when you were admitted, you should find an evaluation of transfer credit for the course(s) taken at that college with your admission letter. If you had an official transcript sent to us after you were admitted but have not yet received an evaluation from us, please bring a photocopy of your transcript or grade report to SOAR but do not have another official copy sent at this time.
What if I earned my dual credit through Missouri State?
You do not need to take any additional action. Your credit will already be on your Missouri State record, and your advisor will have that information when you come to SOAR.
Will my dual credit courses hurt my eligibility for scholarships?
Your eligibility for freshman scholarships is based on your class rank, grade point average, and/or ACT/SAT scores. Since your grades for your dual credit courses are likely factored into your overall high school grade point average, your dual credit courses could potentially affect your eligibility for scholarships. However, your grades on dual credit courses will not affect your ability to renew your scholarships for future years.
Grades earned by students through the Missouri State dual credit program or dual enrollment prior to their freshman year will not prevent a student from renewing freshman scholarships for their second year. (That is, if students meet the GPA requirement for renewal based on courses taken during their freshman year but do not meet the cumulative GPA requirement when dual credit courses are included, their scholarships will be renewed.) However, to renew for their third or subsequent years, students must meet the GPA renewal criteria based on their cumulative GPA (including dual credit hours).
Credit earned through MSU dual credit or dual enrollment is not considered in determining whether students meet the credit hour requirements for scholarship renewal.
The courses are on my high school transcript. Can't you use that?
No, because your high school transcript shows the high school credit that you earned. We must have your college transcript to verify the college credit.
Am I required to provide transcripts showing college credit, even if I don't want to?
Yes. It is important that we know about all college courses that you have taken. Failing to provide us with this information is considered falsification of records and may result in denial of admission or enrollment.
What if I have taken Advanced Placement (AP) exams?
It's possible to gain Missouri State college credit, depending on your AP test score. Students must contact The College Board to request an original copy of their score report be sent directly to the Office of Admissions. We typically do not receive scores for AP exams taken by seniors until mid-summer. View our Advanced Placement (AP) credit web page for more information.

Updated: Monday, January 21 2013
The acquisition, announced late last week, will see Hong Kong-listed Goldpoly pay HK$2.12bn ($273m) to buy the 92.2% of CMNE it did not already own.
Ease Soar, a subsidiary of GCL-Poly – among the world's largest polysilicon producers – will offload its 17.4% stake in CMNE, in return for which GCL-Poly will be left with a 13% stake in Goldpoly.
Based in Fujian province, Goldpoly buys wafers and converts them into its own-brand cells, and produces cells for other PV manufacturers under OEM agreements.

TTOIN- The State Between Wake and Sleep
The *Songs* all started as a *Title*. First, I would create a title that was a *Thing That Occurred In Nature*;
Something that I liked the *Sound* of and something that brought a strong *Image* to mind.
Next, I would find a guitar(90%), synth or drum Sound that I was *Feeling* at that moment and forget about the title. (it has served it's purpose as an unconscious instigator)
Sound-inspired composition (for me) is much different than sitting down with a musical goal to accomplish or using predetermined musical rules. I've found that *Allowing the Sound to Inspire The Structure*, frees the unconscious to pull what is natural from 'the Zone'. This is kind of a slang term that musicians use with each other when we are playing and you start to... kind of…float. It's like you are in this perfect bubble of time and space and you can play no wrong. Everything and everyone moves together in perfect harmony. Not only are you *in* the bubble, you *are* the bubble. This unconscious state of streaming *Creative Energy* is probably a close cousin to the state of enlightenment. Heck, it might be one in the same… I'll have to ask a guru sometime…
Anyway, this is the *State* that these songs were created from. Think of those moments between*Wake and Sleep*.
The New TTOIN Album will be available on iTunes, Amazon, Lala, etc. in late May.

I just had the biggest WTF moment watching this promotional video for the Divided Salli Saddle Chair. It's designed like a saddle with a slit in the middle and it's supposed to be good for the lower back…and more importantly your genitals. The idea seems intelligible: it's a chair that mimics your standing posture. Cool. Except that the video isn't even a pinch of cool. Watching that close-up of the dude in spandex tea bagging the chair was just not okay. Skip to the 1:35 mark if you want your ears to squirm at hearing the most awkward pronunciation of the words 'testicle' and 'penis' ever. I dare you!

From San Bernardino I head east to Redlands on the 10 Freeway, exit south on California Street and follow it as it zigzags across Redlands Boulevard. Boom, I'm just minutes from my house, but now I'm in citrus country and it's a hundred years ago.
I stay on California Street as it burrows through dense groves on its way to Barton Road, where I turn east, pass by the old Asistencia mission on my left, then turn south again on Terracina Boulevard, which climbs the hill toward Redlands Community Hospital. The historic Morey Mansion and many other stately homes line the road and many of them feature picturesque orchards.
Better yet, some of the homeowners have set up untended roadside stands where it's possible to buy bags of fresh-picked oranges, lemons and avocados for three or four bucks a pop. You put your money in a cash box.
It's an honor system, and it's an honor, frankly, to take part in such an old-fashioned rite in our new-fangled age.
Once you get up to the hospital, you have your choice of two routes, and I like to take both. I'll continue to the top of Terracina, then start angling south to Highland Avenue and head east through more palatial neighborhoods and groves. Highland Avenue eventually converges into Fifth Avenue, which leads into serious orchard country and the pioneer Farquhar Farms, which has a large produce stand at Fifth and Wabash avenues.
Farquhar was established in 1886 in the early days of the Southern California citrus boom. This is legacy fruit!
After visiting Farquhar, I make my way back to Terracina, then turn left on the little road that descends around the back of the hospital and down into a corner of San Timoteo Canyon. Here are sudden views of whole vistas of remnant citrus groves that stretch south and east into the canyon.
By now I have goosebumps. It's always a thrill to rediscover that we still have these living reminders of the citrus heritage that once defined our Inland Empire.
Of course, then I make my way home, and I read the newspaper, and I learn that Loma Linda has decided it no longer can afford to pay for watering one of its few remnant groves and will abandon it to its fate.
And this reminds me, sadly, of how dwindled indeed our citrus heritage has become.
For most of a century, starting in the 1870s and continuing into the 1960s, the Inland Empire was a bountiful Eden with sprawling orchard lands that stretched from horizon to horizon. There were an estimated 10 million citrus trees in Southern California, and most of them were in San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
This place was a wonderland, and its fame spread. Tourists vacationed here. Celebrities played here. Wealthy families of the East built winter palaces here. The National Orange Show in San Bernardino was a glittery exhibition that attracted huge crowds of visitors each year from around the world.
But then, we decided to change course and seek a new destiny. Southern California land developers needed room to expand and they offered us big money to tear down our groves and replace them with warehouses and apartment complexes and strip malls and parking lots.
Looking back, it's impossible not to wonder if we made the best of our choices.
Citrus is resilient, though, as it turns out. I know it for a fact. I planted an orange tree, a lemon tree and a grapefruit tree almost 30 years ago in my yard, and at first they did poorly. The late great Herb Fischer, founder of Flowerland Nursery in San Bernardino, told me I was overwatering them.
"Don't EVER water citrus," he said, looking me right in the eye. "They get what they need. Leave them alone."
He was right. I pretty much stopped watering my citrus trees. And today they're doing fine.
I'm wondering. That remnant grove in Loma Linda, left alone, may last longer than anyone thinks it will. And that would be a good thing. Loma Linda is where the Inland Empire's very first orange trees were planted, in 1857 by Anson Van Leuven. Let's hope, for history's sake, that Loma Linda still has a few orange trees for many years to come.
We humans are resilient, too. We can rebound. We can review, revise, reroute. We can reconsider old choices of the past, as we strive to make better choices in the future.
To become involved in current, ongoing efforts to preserve and protect remnant groves, contact and join the Inland Orange Conservancy, inlandorange.org, 909-794-4484, P.O. Box 188, Mentone, CA 92359.

They said they will come in the evening after hours - they are located 3 hours from where I live and would either pay cash or money order . I know they work for a reputed software company and I did validate their employee ids. After noticing that I am uncomfortable with money order option they are proposing to pay with cash . Since BOA closes around 5:00pm is there any way I can validate the cash and ensure it is not counterfeit. The amount in question would be $15000. Please advice |
