New Canaan's Shullman, Masuk's Duignan finally meet on football field
Published 11:41 pm, Thursday, December 9, 2010
NEW CANAAN -- For years, Ryan Shullman and Matt Duignan have pondered the possibility of meeting on a football field, most recently at the dinner table on Thanksgiving, when the likelihood seemed tantalizingly close.
It would take the old backyard contests of two-hand touch for the two cousins to a whole new dimension.
Saturday afternoon, the dream becomes a reality.
When New Canaan faces Masuk for the CIAC Class L title, Shullman, the Rams' nose guard, and Duignan, a linebacker for the Panthers, will likely again play integral roles for units that often get overshadowed.
"We always thought this could happen, we thought we could play in the championship game," Shullman said. "By the fifth or sixth game we knew it was a possibility. On Thanksgiving, being in the same division, they were undefeated and we had one loss, and we said it would be something if it happened."
Duignan, a 5-foot-10 junior, is second on the Panthers with 74 tackles, and tied for second with four sacks.
"The two of us are very close," Duignan said. "I wanted him and New Canaan to win because I wanted to play them. They are a good team. We didn't know if something like this would ever happen."
Latest Sports Video
Masuk coach John Murphy said Duignan has been a leader.
"Matt's had a great year for us," Murphy said. "He's the general out there. He gets everyone lined up because we use so many checks and so many blitzes. He's been the maestro of the defense."
Both Shullman and Duignan have excelled for teams who have gained notoriety not just for their success, but the explosive manner it has been achieved.The 12-0 Panthers have scored at least 41 points in every game. Incredibly, no opponent has come within 40.
But while the team has accumulated touchdowns the way an old sweater does lint, the Masuk defense has six shutouts and allowed just seven points on three other occasions.
"I just hope we can keep it up," Duignan said.
The Rams are 11-1, their lone loss coming by a point to St. Joseph on a missed two-point conversation at the end of the game. They are averaging 40 points, and while the defense has not been quite as dominant as Masuk's, it has given up just 12.5 points a game.
Before Masuk's semifinal win over Darien last weekend, Duignan received a scouting report from Shullman, whose team had defeated the Blue Wave nine days earlier. While the two players' units will not be on the field at the same time, both of them could meet on special teams.
"It should be pretty interesting, the first time I give him a hit," Duignan said.
"It'll be exciting," Shullman said. " I'll have to give him my best shot and hope to put him on his butt."
Come Sunday, the aspiration the cousins shared will have turned into a memory, which should make for another interesting holiday encounter for their families.
"It's tough for me to say because I want us both to have good games, but I want us to win," Shullman said. "I guess we will have to wait and see who has bragging rights. We'll see this Christmas who will be tapping the ring on the table."

Britannia II from "Lensman" (1984)
About the Design
Based on the Edward E. "Doc" Smith "Lensman" novels, the Japanese 1984 "Lensman" anime feature – and the 1987 TV series it spawned – featured some truly breathtaking spaceship designs. First and foremost was the Britannia II, this galactic battle cruiser that boasted lines that were unique both for motion pictures and Japanese animation. Highly angular and lacking the bristling armory usually associated with Japanese spacecraft of this era, the Britannia looks as sleek and menacing today as it did nearly 20 years ago..
About the Kit
Produced by Tomy of Japan, the "Lensman" models series was not broadly released in the U.S. but individual items did manage to make their way stateside via various mail order companies. The kit itself was very well engineered and featured a particularly attractive clue blue plastic base.
This model was built from an original issue.

Hey, hey friends! :) Welcome to my last installment of the Inspiration to Fitness series! It's been an adventure and I can't believe it's already been seven weeks since I started this whole, crazy (and mostly new) adventure!
It's been a fun adventure that has stretched me and taught much more than I thought it would.
I can say with absolute certainty, that without this series...I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be exercising regularly. Pure and simple. I really needed this structure and accountability to stay on track and to establish something that I have wanted for some time now.
And even though this is my last official journal entry for Blogher and this particular series...I fully intend on keeping up with my new habit. To help me do that, I have found a real life accountability partner. I found a friend who is also trying to keep up an exercise routine and everyday we text each other when we are finished with our workout for the day. Just a simple text usually, "done".
Seems like a simple thing, but let me tell you, more often than not, getting her text that she is already done, really makes me get my bum in gear and get mine over with as well. And yes, I meant over with. While this journey has helped me develop a new routine, I still HATE exercise, at least in the work out form. Very often you can find me, during a work out, chanting "I can do hard things, I can do hard things, I can do hard things" during my cardio session and there usually isn't a minute of my workout that goes by that I don't want to quit.
But I don't. Only because I know, that at the end of the workout, I will feel great, both physically and mentally. It's been worth it for that alone. The bonus of it all? I'm being a great example to my boys. They see their mom being active and taking care of herself and that speaks more to them than just words ever could.
I hope you've been inspired to start a new journey for yourself to better health through exercise and I hope you've learned as much through your journey as I have with mine.
I would love to hear about any progress you've made or journey you have begun!
Be sure to check out Alysa and all the great info she has to get your started or keep you going!
Hang in there and keep on keeping on! :)

A normal family has 20 minutes in the campaign spotlight.
By JENNIFER LIBERTO, Times Staff Writer
Published January 27, 2008
LAND O'LAKES - The phone call that turned the Guenette family's weekend inside out for 23 hours came at 2 p.m. Friday: the Mitt Romney campaign was looking for a "normal, average" family.
Marcy Guenette paused. She liked Romney. Planned to vote for him. But she didn't know what to say.
"I wasn't joking," said the caller, Rachel Burgin, who works for a Romney supporter, state Rep. Trey Traviesa, R-Tampa, and knows the Guenettes through Fellowship Baptist Church in Thonotosassa. The campaign wanted to make the Guenettes' three-bedroom house a campaign stop, because it was on route from Lutz to Lakeland, meaning all the traveling national media would also be there.
Marcy Guenette took a deep breath and said, "Sure, what time will he be here?"
They canceled T-ball practice, gymnastics, a soccer game and dinner with the pastor and his wife. They sterilized the house, better than in-laws-are-coming-over clean. Mopped the kitchen floor, twice.
The best interview location would be the children's game room, since it was big enough to fit the crowd of media and closest to the front door, which meant moving two sofas clear across the house and trying to tuck away a children's tool bench, an air hockey table and plastic bins full of toys.
Marcy Guenette, 34, ran to the Citrus Park mall late Friday night to find a better shirtfor national television (a black scoop neck, Dillard's). Lenny Guenette, 39, obsessed about the best questions to ask. They counseled Mary-Kate, 10, Spencer, 9, Karey-Anne, 7, and Connor, 5, about good manners and best behavior.
"I told them it's a real neat opportunity," said Marcy Guenette, who works part time for a lawyer. A swirling stomach kept her from sleeping much Friday night. "If he becomes president, they'll always remember when he was in our house."
And right before it started, they caged Samson, the 110-pound black lab, and set down thin black tape to designate how far the media should stand back from the couches.
While future presidents drop into living rooms in Iowa and New Hampshire, for such a quiet neighborhood, it was like Gasparilla had rolled in. Cars, vans and a bus jammed the streets, lining the houses for blocks. Neighbors, most of whom had been warned, wandered into the Guenettes' yard, armed with digital cameras.
Then the media tromped in, two dozen peopleloaded with cameras, microphones, backpacks and computers - New York Times, New York Daily News, the Daily Telegraph of London, Associated Press, Reuters, NBC, CBS, ABC. The front door was kept wide open for better light.
Romney entered, warmly shook hands and then plopped down next to Spencer, their lithe, blond son who sat incredibly still, eyes darting between his parents and the crowd of cameras that swallowed up the entryway. Romney immediately kidded them about having a fifth child, since he has five sons.
They talked about the cost of health care and college, the economy and the housing bust. They talked for 20 minutes, longer than Romney spoke earlier in the day at a Lutz rally or in Pensacola on Friday.
Lenny Guenette asked about "something I don't hear much about on the campaign." He wanted to know Romney's plan for beefing up domestic oil production, because "$3 a gallon is too much." Guenette commutes 60 miles a day to his job with Jabil Circuit in St. Petersburg.
Romney agreed and talked about the need for alternative energy production, like nuclear power and liquid coal.
Later, Lenny Guenette went over his questions in his head, especially the conversation on domestic fuels.
"I didn't quite come off as firm as I wanted to, but you know, it's intimidating," he said.
After the interview, both Guenettes said they were struck by how personable Romney was.
"You feel like they're just some different kind of person when they're in the spotlight on TV, but he really just seems like a normal, average guy," Marcy Guenette said.

Mammoth 11/30/11
30 Nov, 2011
In my opinion, a good park chair offers up the best views, quickest laps and good people. Chair 6 at Mammoth definitely offers up all three of that list. I hit Chair 6 to get my park fix today, a little disgruntled at the lack of snow so the rest of the mountain can open fully but happy that atleast park is fun.
I met up with the skier for laps. He's on the Main Park skill level and I'm more Forest Park skill level but luckily they are next to each other on the mountain. We'll hit up both or meet up halfway at the pipe each run. Today I ended up working on backside boardslides in Forest Trail on the flat boxes, just getting used to them again and having fun with it.

Bill Mann, a 41-year-old resident of North Douglas, owned and operated Mann Construction and died in 1999.
Bonnett, a lifelong resident of Southeast Alaska, was born in Douglas and is a 1948 graduate of Douglas High School. He attended art schools in Los Angeles and Seattle, was an illustrator for Boeing and later worked at the Auke Bay lab before becoming a full-time artist. He currently resides in North Douglas.
The "Rosifrax Pekaloomis" came into being at Louie's Douglas Inn one evening in 1980 where Bonnett and Mann discussed the painting.
The acrylic realistic scene of Southeast Alaska, depicting snow-covered mountains, a soaring eagle and a beached troller, Rosifrax Pekaloomis, dominating the foreground, with details of the channel waters, including spouting whales, a tugboat and lighthouse.
In creating this, Bonnett set up shop in the Mann's North Douglas home. It was typical for Mann to return from work to find Bonnett busy with his paint brush and few friends gathered for "happy hour," admiring his talent.
About a week into the project, the Manns came home to an empty house, finding the mountains "wiped-out" of the picture. After Bonnett did not show up or answer his phone for a couple of days, someone told the Manns that Bonnett went to Hawaii. They were becoming somewhat concerned as several weeks passed and no work from Bonnet. Then, as suddenly as he had left, Bonnet appeared one day busily recreating the mountains. It was as if he'd never been away, enjoying friend and "happy hour."
In the background there is a small building nestled in the trees. Bonnett explains this is where he went to school. And, at close scrutiny, you'll find an empty "Oly" can on the beach, which was Mann's favorite brew at the time.
When Bonnett finished the picture, the Manns held an open house for friends and neighbors to view Bonnett's masterpiece. One commented, "it's so realistic, I feel as if I'm actually standing right there on the beach watching the whales and the tug boat go by. Everyone feels the same."
Mann was often asked how much the painting had cost. His reply was always the same, "A hundred dollars and about 10 cases of vodka."
There was never a straight answer from Bonnett or Mann as to where the name of the painting originated.
The painting may now be viewed in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

Assem Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver said this morning he will renew his call for a tax on the state's wealthiest earners, a push that has met stiff opposition from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Senate Republicans.
Appearing on Talk 1300-AM in Albany, host Fred Dicker asked Silver, D-Manhattan, if he anticipated any new taxes when the Legislature returns to Albany in January.
"I still think we should not allow people making more than $1 million to have the benefit of a tax cut," Silver said.
The so-called Millionaire's Tax was at the center of a heated debate during this year's budget process, with Democrats in the Assembly and Senate pushing for the extension of a tax on those making more than $250,000 annually, which is set to expire at the end of the year.
Cuomo, citing his campaign promise of a budget with no new tax hikes, was determined to let it expire, as were Republicans in both houses.
The governor, a Democrat, has since backed President Obama's push for a federal tax on the nation's top earners, but has stressed that the situation is different at the state and federal level.
"If I raise taxes, I'm in a running race every day with Connecticut and Jersey and other states," Cuomo said yesterday on Dicker's show. "If I raise my taxes, they can move 20 minutes away in some directions and I'm hemorrhaging from the borders. That's not true federally."
Meanwhile, Silver reiterated his support for a constitutional amendment that would legalize casino gaming in certain New York "resort areas."
"I think it's possible. I'm not a big proponent of gambling, but the fact is that New Yorkers go to New Jersey, they go to Connecticut, they go to Pennsylvania, Massachusetts is now moving toward approving it," Silver said. "We might as well keep our New York dollars in New York and bolster some of our resort areas."
Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County, has expressed support for a constitutional amendment, which would require the approval of consecutive Legislatures and a public vote. Cuomo's office has been reviewing the issue and is expected to reveal its position in January, when the Legislature is scheduled to return to Albany.

Don't Wear Orange On St.Patrick's Day
'But muuuuum...' I started whining but she cut me off with her look.
'Hand me over the scalpel and the laporoscope. We shall talk about your punishment later,' she said frostily as she took away my instruments (and Billy's kidney), 'I am VERY disappointed in you today. Why can't you get a normal job like a normal child?'
The fact of the matter was my mother had always hoped that I'd eventually grow out of my selfish ways. My kleptomania was becoming problematic (I had held up several banks in what the newspapers were calling a "spree"), my ADHD was a little out-of-control (after setting fire to that transient, Will-work-for-food guy) and my forgery ring was drawing unwanted attention from the Feds due to minor spelling errors. Unfortunately I come from a long line of con men, hustlers, petty criminals and pool sharks who found this sort of behaviour natural and so I never saw my acts to be a bad thing. Guess Ma just wanted me to break the cycle. So as she took away my belongings I just made a pathetic, left-handed oath to her that I would do no evil.
Anyway, recently I've been watching a lot of My Name is Earl-that Jason Lee comedy series where a ne'er-do-well wins $100,000 and decides to spend his time righting the wrongs of his past. It's a cool show. I like the bumbling attempts of Lee and his idiotic brother restoring the Karmic balance in the world and it made me want to do a grand gesture to wipe the slate clean of my crimes.
'I'd like,' I say to Housemate Darren during the episode where Earl decides to repay all the beer he stole from a golfer, 'to right all the wrongs I've ever done in one gigantic, clumsy gesture.'
'Well, if you're thinking about cloning Jesus to help out all the sick people out in the world and to finally settle the debate on which is the One True branch of Christianity then I think you're absolutely crazy.' says Darren.
'That wasn't what you were planning on was it?'
'It is now! Brilliant! Cloning Jesus. That's the second stupidest thing I've heard today.'
And so the Gates of Hell were opened,

The HBI store is now closed, but we have loads of BeanBitches that can be donated to your nonprofit for the cost of shipping...
HBI's forum (The BitchBoard) is a members-only discussion forum. To gain access you have to complete the membership application and then see if you get accepted. Not everyone does. You have to demonstrate that you have at least two clues to rub together. The worst applications sometimes get riffed in "The Weak of the Week".
It's simple - look at any open forum and the mindless crap and drivel posted there. We do our best to keep our forum troll-free.
Our membership application is a screening process. By completing the membership application you are telling us:
Your ISP or your mail client may have blocked/spam filtered the incoming email. Go to www.heartless-bitches.com/bitchboard/lost_password.shtml, and select the checkbox for "Please re-send the Welcome email".
Be sure to WHITELIST firstname.lastname@example.com BEFORE you press submit.
Yes, you can reapply. But if you send several variants on the same day, or in the same week, it will likely count against you.
Send ONE application, wait for the new member postings, and see if you made it. If you didn't, then reapply.
Surprisingly, there HAVE been WOTW recipients who have reapplied and actually been granted membership.
All it takes is a sense of humor, and some honesty. [One WOTW recipient even made the Exemplary Bitches list the next time around.]
Absolutely. Our membership is diverse. We don't discriminate against stupidity on the basis of gender. But if you think getting membership to HBI will somehow provide you with a dating service, think again.
Because the site is run by volunteers, with real jobs and real lives, and we update when we find time.
We do it for fun, not profit, and as such it takes a back seat to other entertainment and life realities.
Deal with it, (or better yet, volunteer)!
NatalieP, also known as "The Most Exalted High
Bitch Queen Supreme," (Okay, she's not known as that at all) is the
mastermind (and sole financier) behind it all. Yes, she really does
exist, and she isn't a hairy, ugly, sexless lesbian, despite what the
male detractors of HBI would love to believe. However, she DOES like to
dress up in costume and play with body paint for hallowe'en, and has won
the "Judge's Favorite" and "Most Alluring" prizes at the shindigs she
attends... But seriously, as you can read in her Bitchitorial columns,
she is a real life software specialist/single mom/Uber Heartless Bitch,
who works hard, plays hard, who doesn't suffer fools lightly, believes
accountability isn't nearly as widespread as it should be, and thinks
feminism doesn't need "defending" but can give you an articulate earful
about workplace equality from first hand experience if you need it. The
word "ambivalence" isn't in her vocabulary. She has the kind of friends
that will come over and help her move 8 cubic yards of dirt in the
pouring rain. She is 100% WYSIWYG. She isn't perfect by any stretch, but
she walks it like she talks it. The buck stops here.
The site is called "Heartless Bitches," people! Unless you're a complete fucking moron, you
could hardly mistake that for an embossed fucking invitation to high
tea. Gosh darn it.
You CANNOT, in any way COPY, redistribute, reprint on paper or electronically, or include articles from HBI on your website, or distribute in an email, without the EXPRESS WRITTEN permission of Nataliep.
Who really exists, as do her lawyers.
You MAY, however, make reference to an article and LINK to it on HBI from your site. With the exception of banners and "Official Heartless Bitch" logos (for members), you may not
reuse ANY graphics from this site. Copyright folks. It's against the law, and we HAVE successfully SUED people in the past for trademark infringement.

SAMOTURE stands for Self-Appointed Member of the Unseen Ruling Elite. The short answer is that you can't become one. You either ARE or you ARE NOT.
The long answer is that it's a joke people, a parody devised *by one of
our members* to torment the witless. Actually just to wake up the
slumbering common sense of an otherwise insightful individual through
humor. As a matter of fact, the butt of the joke caught on pretty soon to
the fact that, contrary to her expectations, HBI is not run by fiat, by
an invisible hierarchy, or by arbitrary censorship. Remember orchestra
auditions where you had to play your best every week in order to
maintain first chair? That's how the Bitchboard works, only you are also
the conductor, audience and orchestra. YOU make your own way, every day,
using all the tools in your mental, verbal, and moral toolbox. That's as
level as any playing field is ever going to be. Now is a good time to
read Roethke's rules about how to succeed on the Bitchboard. Our
Internet community doesn't mistake toadying and social manipulations for
n'ettiquette. Most "enemies" end up on the same side of some issue,
sooner or later, and vice versa, so if a majority of people think your
arguments lack merit, just relax and accept that it's not a vast,
well-planned-out conspiracy. While it well may be that you are a brave,
misunderstood individualist, it may also be that you haven't formulated
a convincing argument and have no one but yourself to blame.
That, dear readers, is your answer. Those who are SAMOTURE are chuckling. Those who are not will prove it by arguing with me about it.

You can TRY. We do welcome submissions, and most of the semi-regular
columns on the site are as a result of authors proposing them. However,
be aware that we are pretty picky about what gets posted. Marlene, the

editors are failed writers, but so are most writers".
You are
welcome to submit articles and even propose a column for HBI, but it has
to keep with the theme of the site, be topical, and well-written. I have
a preference for articles that are heavy on the sarcasm. Make me laugh
and it's probably going to get in, even if I have to do some editing.
And I DO reserve the right to edit. If your work is very good, you may
even have an opportunity to see it published in our upcoming book.
All people used in photos in our online store are real people with real jobs that are NOT in the fashion industry. That girl "Model" is a software developer for a large company in the telco industry.
She just happens to be a friend of the Supreme Bitch and was coerced with copious amounts of wine and promises of use of the hottub for her services as a T-shirt Model for HBI...

There are thousands of Audubon related societies, organizations, sanctuaries, centers, and businesses around the globe. These organizations and businesses are independent from one another, and separately incorporated. Each is free to set their own path within the Audubon Movement. The Audubon Network for Sustainability is a web based directory of these local, national or international Audubon societies, organizations, sanctuaries, centers, and businesses. It also includes businesses, individuals, and others who have received accreditation by participating in an environmental or sustainability themed education program - many of which administered by an Audubon organization.
Through a diversity of approaches, Audubon organizations today carry on the conservation ethic that began at the turn of the 20th Century. Audubon organizations establish their own programs, and vary greatly in their scope and missions. Some remain small bird clubs or societies, while others focus on state, national, or international bird conservation and environmental issues.
ISC-Audubon is but one of these many organizations, and we are proud to be a part of what is commonly referred to as the Audubon Movement. While ISC-Audubon may not have a direct relationship with the other organizations and businesses listed within the Audubon Network for Sustainability, we are still all drawn together by what it means to be a part of the Audubon Movement.

While in London last weekend I stumbled across an interesting laundry detergent alternative called EcoBalls. They are these green UFOish shaped balls with pellets inside. Not hearing of them before and being skeptical, I decided to hold off buying them, especially at £35.
Doing a bit of research online, I've found mixed information. The majority of the skeptics I have seen arguing against them seem to focus on the gimicky nature of the product description and/or inaccurately point to debunk stories on "similar" products. I use the term "similar" like I do because I really feel that after researching it, EcoBalls are a bit different than many of the products out there like it.
The one thing I found most interesting about all of the information I read online attempting to debunk them is that none of them paid any attention to the components of the pellets inside the balls. Reading that they had a limit on the number of wash cycles (albeit high one), I knew the pellets had to break down in some way. Digging a bit more, I found out the ingredients of the pellets are as follows:
For something claiming to be chemical free, that ingredient list definitely seems to point otherwise. Looking at the ingredient list more, I started to recognize some of them as stuff I had heard of before, interestingly enough from cleaning products. Let's go through each one, one by one.
First we have "higher alkyl sulfate". This is listed as an "adjuvant" which basically means it's an inactive ingredient which serves the purpose of assisting the dispersion of the active ingredients. It can be likened to an emulsifier and I've found several references to it being used in cleaning products online.
Next we have "non-ionic surfacant". This one is a wetting agent which assists in lowering the surface tension of water. This allows the cleaning solutions to have better ability to break up stains and soils. Again, a common ingredient in cleaning products.
Then we have "sodium metasilicate". This is one is used to assist the surfacant above by reducing the hardness of the water. Interestingly, this one is both poisonous and reacts fairly violently to acids. For something claiming to be so safe, this ingredient doesn't support that claim. It could be a small ingredient, though, reducing the potential for issues. Still something you want to make sure small children don't ingest in any event.
The second to last ingredient is "calcium carbonate". This one just about anyone should recognize and thus doesn't need much explanation. It's a common ingredient in many cleaning products it seems, especially "green" ones, so it's presence comes as no surprise.
The final ingredient is "sodium carbonate". This is better known to many as "Washing Soda". It's a water softener sold in most grocery stores which prevents calcium and magnesium ions from bonding to the detergent. It's effective at removing oil, grease, and alcohol stains. Again, it's presence comes as no surprise.
So, basically what we have here is moderately large plastic balls which contain a very mild detergent. It's thus no surprise that they do a little better than doing laundry with just plain water alone. The large size of the balls would work well at mashing the clothes, sorta akin to a washing board, and the combination of the mild detergent should prove to be effective. It might not brighten your whites as much as the store bought detergent, but otherwise should clean just as well based on what I can gather without actually using the product. Also, since it doesn't contain the fragrances which most have gotten used to in laundry detergents, the clothes won't have that "fresh clean" smell. At about $70 US + shipping, not sure I am going to try them, but I wanted to post this so others doing research on the topic could form a more educated opinion.

2012 CES Conference What to Wear & How to Pack
As a professional blogger I love attending conferences. Conferences not only enhance my ability to bring my readers good content but keeps me updated with what's new and fresh in the industry. Living in Las Vegas gives me the luxury of having one of the best consumer conferences in the country...CES. The Consumer Electronic Show! I've attended years past but this year; this year was the first time I noticed bloggers seemed to be a buzz everywhere. In the speaker panel, in the gadget spotlight and even in the check in process. We were front and center.
Checking out New Cool Gadgets:
Listening to awe inspiring speakers talk on our industry <bloggers & brands>
But truly…let's admit it! What's really important? What to wear….LOL Seriously, this is the main thing. If you go to a conference and your missing one little element to get you through the day, it could spoil your whole expierence. So, I want to share with you what this frugalista packs in my necessity bag:
First and foremost are your kicks, a.k.a….shoes! These will be the essence of your day. My partner in crime wore the ever popular Toms seen on my 2011 Gift Guide must have. I wore my absolutely comfiest pair of kicks ever. My Nikes!
They are stylish enough to wear with slacks {which I did wear} but comfy enough to walk for 8 hours. I nabbed these at my local Nordstrom Rack for $19 and have had them for over 2 years.
Then…there's your goodies. The goodies that will carry you through the conference to the end. There is one item not pictured here and those are snacks. Please please please pack snacks. Lines will be long, blood sugars will drop and the day will be miserable.
And here's what I pack in my survival pack:
- Apple iPad 2 – a must for a quick post that you want to actually look nice. If there is downtime, this will come in handy.
- Cell phone – need I say more, SamSung is becoming my close favorite so far this year {been through 2}
- My iGo Charger for my cell phone and iPad
- MyJawbone II Bluetooth Headset with NoiseAssassin – a MUST!
- Philosophy Lip Shine Mimosa – a must in my purse regardless
- John Masters Lotion – Keeps my hands hydrated all day long even after washing.
- Extra Pair of Glasses {purchased FREE from Coastal Glasses – First pai free w/code: FIRSTPAIRFREE}
- JoToes Bag – I did squeeze my DSLR inside but only had it out for a second.
My VegasBloggers Buddy Stefanie and I had a Blast! It was quick, fully packed and we learned a plethora of information. Not to mention all the cool items we saw. For more cool pics of our experience you can view my VegasBloggers post and view my Google + album!

Pratt Institute
We offer international scholarships ranging up to 20,000 a year for five years for architecture and 18,000 for art and design. Those are the top scholarships. There is no application process; all students are considered for these. They are merit-based.
UB - University at Buffalo:
The International Freshman Scholarship
The University at Buffalo offers merit-based scholarships in varying amounts to qualified international freshmen. Scholarship awards vary from $4,000 - $5,000 per academic year renewable for up to four years with good academic standing. Each year, 20 – 25 of these prestigious scholarships are awarded.
The International Freshman Scholarship:
* Is awarded only to qualify incoming freshman (first year) students who have no course work or credits completed at a post-secondary institution.
* Is open only to full-time international students who will hold an F1 student visa (or in the case of Canadian citizens be eligible for the F1 visa status) at the time of enrollment.
* Is only available to students initially enrolling in the fall semester.
* May be combined with other UB scholarships (see information about other scholarships below).
* Is reserved for top students.
Application & Review Process:
* There is not a separate scholarship application form. Just submit the regular International Student Application form; download now (click here). Applicants using the online SUNY application form or the Common Application are also considered for the scholarship.
* All Freshman applicants will be automatically reviewed and considered for the scholarship as part of the application review process.
* The following criteria are taken into consideration:
o Scholarships are awarded using a holistic measure; that is, everything is considered together; while GPA and test scores are important, they are not the only criteria.
o Grade Point Average (GPA): most scholarship recipients have at least a B+ average (or the equivalent).
o SAT test scores: although the SAT is not required, it is strongly recommended and encouraged.
o Essay: a one page essay about why you want to study at UB (the content and ideas of the essay are more important than the grammar).
o Teacher Recommendation: at least one letter of recommendation from a teacher who can comment about your potential as a university student and your extracurricular activities.
Apply early. For scholarship consideration, we recommend you apply well before February 1. Scholarship awardees will be announced in late March. Thereafter, scholarships are awarded only if they are still available; in some cases, a Scholarship Wait List is established and any awardees will be notified in the summer.
The Provost Scholarship
These scholarships are very limited and awarded to only the very best applicants. Provost Scholarships start at $2,500. International applicants usually have the following qualifications: have a high school average of 90, have a high SAT I score (minimum 1300 on the critical reading and math sections) and have taken the most challenging high school curriculum available. International freshman applicants who believe they meet these criteria and are interested in this program, should apply early (by December for the following fall semester). A separate application is not required.
The Presidential Scholarship
UB"s top entering freshmen are awarded Presidential Scholarships. This scholarship covers full tuition, fees, housing, board, books, travel, and other school-related expenses for four years of undergraduate study. To be considered for this award, students must show outstanding academic merit with a minimum unweighted high school average of 95 and a combined SAT critical reading and math score of at least 1470. Students who receive Presidential Scholarships are automatically admitted to the HonorsCollege and must maintain good standing within the program to keep their scholarship.
A separate application is required for this scholarship in addition to the general UB application and is available from the Honors Office. Contact Erik D"Aquino ([email protected]) to request an application. Apply early; the regular application and the separate scholarship application must be received by December.
The UniversityHonorsCollege
Students with exceptional academic and extracurricular backgrounds may be admitted to the UB University Honors College (http://honors.buffalo.edu); admission to this special program is by invitation only. A special application is not required. While the UniversityHonorsCollege is not a scholarship program per se, it offers a rich academic and experiential program and the opportunity for access to related scholarships and fellowships.
Students invited to join the UniversityHonorsCollege receive special privileges. Privileges and benefits may include priority class registration, preferred on-campus housing, personalized advisement, evenings with faculty, faculty mentors, social events, a special notation on your transcript, and access to and guidance about special scholarships and fellowships.
To be eligible for consideration, you would need a high school average of at least 93 percent and an SAT I score of at least 1300 (critical reading + math). A special application is not required; but you must submit the regular application by December 31. Notification announcements will be made in March.
Athletic Scholarships
The University at Buffalo is part of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) and offers Division I athletics. We recruit athletes from all over the world, especially our neighbors in Canada. Student Athletes are usually at the top of their division or conference levels in secondary schools. We offer athletic scholarships in the following sports: Baseball, Basketball (Men (M) & Womens (W)), Crew (W), Cross Country, Football, Soccer (M&W), Softball, Swimming (M&W), Tennis (M&W), Track & Field, Volleyball (W), Wrestling.
University of Rochester
International Students
The responsibility for covering educational expenses (e.g. tuition, fees, room and board) rests with the student and his or her family. International students must submit proof of their family"s ability to cover the estimated cost of the first year"s educational expenses, as well as projected support for subsequent years of study at Rochester.
Canadian and Mexican citizens may apply for need-based financial aid, but must demonstrate the ability to pay the difference between the total cost of attendance and the financial aid package to secure a student visa
All applicants who need a student visa to study legally in the United States must complete the International Financial Support Form and return it to the Office of Admissions, along with copies of current bank statements.
Merit Scholarships
Every application for admission is automatically considered for merit scholarships from the University of Rochester. In evaluating a student's academic strengths, unique background and skills, a merit scholarship may be awarded. Scholarship amounts for all students (American and international) typically do not exceed $10,000 per year. If awarded a merit scholarship, international students need only demonstrate the ability to pay for the remainder of the educational expenses.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Utility companies will need written consent from Connecticut property owners before cutting trees on the owner's land, under a bill that's heading to the governor.
The Senate on Wednesday voted 35-0, in favor of a bill that also requires each utility to operate an email account so it can receive complaints, modification requests, questions and objections about the utility's vegetation management process. The bill already passed the House of Representatives.
Sen. Bob Duff, the co-chairman of the General Assembly's energy committee, said the bill also creates a mediation process for utilities, customers and tree wardens in case there is a disagreement about.
Duff said the legislation attempts to "give confidence to ratepayers across the state" that when there is tree-trimming, "it is done in a fair and balanced manner."

"This is a great service which saves me lots of time by capturing relevant and interesting content in an easy to digest format. I would highly recommend."
David Dean,
"As a researcher I have used WiredGov for several years. It is a very helpful, reliable source of Government press information. It is also fully customisable and easy to use, which is critical when you work to short timeframes and need information at your fingertips. WiredGov is particularly useful for older press notices, which are otherwise only available via archived websites and not always searchable or easily retrievable."
Louise Butcher,
"WiredGov enables me to find out the news I require to know in a timely and convenient manner. It facilitates me to scan the relevant news based on my preferences. The weekly e-mail is one of the first I read on a Monday morning and allows me to be fully aware of all relevant news, helping me carry out my job more efficiently. I highly recommend it!"
Lamine Lachhab,
"WiredGov provides a useful single route into government press releases – and their customer service following up any queries is excellent."
Katharine Wright,
"I signed up for a trial account and knew within the first few news items that I was onto a winner. My job involves analysing policy and strategy across the whole education sector and the alerts have provided me with a number of news stories I haven't received from anywhere else. Quite often I receive news much later than the release date and sometimes not at all. This isn't the case with this service – always on or ahead of the game.
I've passed a number of leads across to my colleagues for their use for both development and planning purposes and this numbers between 20 – 30 people most of the time. Reliable, timely and accurate – couldn't ask for more. Keep going!"
Paul Turner,
"I find WiredGov an informative source of information that is tailored to my specific areas of interest and delivered in a timely manner. It provides me with news alerts that I might otherwise miss if I had to find time to scan the internet for this information. WiredGov is a trusted source and is now also recommended by my trades union"
Terry Jarvis,
"Fujitsu is a long-term strategic partner to the UK Government, and it is therefore critical that we understand what is happening with such an important customer. WiredGov gives me "breaking news" from Government Departments, allowing us to keep abreast of what is happening, ensuring we remain relevant and informed.
WiredGov's regular emails, through the day, are in an easy to read format, whether I am reading them on smartphone, tablet or desk computer – allowing me to spot key stories and "screen scrape" relevant Government Press Releases to my Executive colleagues easily. It is an important part of my portfolio of market information."
Simon Carter,
"Thank you for a wonderful service because people are sometimes amazed on how I find out information which of course saves me a lot of time!"
Barbara Worrall,
"The information in the Wired-GOV service is well structured and balanced to be able to be read very quickly, with the help of its "headlines", in a little bit more detail in the press releases, etc, while also giving good links to more detailed sources, its timeliness is not bettered by other update/information services I receive."
Jon Watson,
"I am pleased to receive the "E" mail on this subject and find it very useful with keeping me up to date with Governmental affairs and issues that impact upon my day to day activities."
James France,

The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride.
Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues - and falls for - a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name.
Handsome, charming and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous...
Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours are killed and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger.
And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world with death and destruction, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?

THE family of a four-year-old Scots girl who has battled a rare cancer have urged people to support a charity to raise funds to improve survival rates for the disease in children.
Summer Wroniecki was diagnosed with muscle tissue cancer rhabdomyosarcoma and has refused to stop smiling - and earier this year she won a special award for her courage.
She was awarded the Cancer Research UK 'Little Star Award' after being nominated by her gran for her determination to battle the disease.
The youngster's family is now backing the charity's search to find Scotland's next young courageous cancer survivor.
Summer's mother Karen Wroniecki, 36, of Cupar, Fife, said: "We feel really lucky Summer has come through the other side of this, which is why we wanted to support this year's Little Star Awards.
"Cancer Research scientists work hard to come up with better and kinder treatments for youngsters with this awful disease. We hope the public will join us to support Little Stars and help the charity raise the money it needs for lifesaving research."
New figures show that since the 1960s survival rates for children with cancer have more than doubled in the UK.
Cancer Research UK carried out the first UK clinical trials in children with rhabdomyosarcoma and have helped to double survival rates for this disease.
Around 50 youngsters are diagnosed with the disease every year in the UK, and Summer was part of the trials for this groundbreaking research.
Linda Summerhayes, the charity's spokeswoman in Scotland, said: "Around 120 children are diagnosed with cancer in Scotland every year. Despite improvements in treatment, around 250 children still lose their lives to the disease each year in the UK. We are working towards a future where all children with cancer are cured."
The charity has launched a drive for Scots to nominate people for the award, open to all under-18s who have cancer or who have been treated for the disease in the last five years.
The awards are backed by a host of famous faces including Olympic hero Mo Farah and boy band JLS.
