This was me 4 years ago about to start my college career at The Ohio State University.
Mom obviously wasn't happy to leave me.
I cannot believe that it's already been that long! I still think it's crazy how fast time flies and that I'm already a college grad. Pondering on the past, I realize how much I matured and became the person who I am today. College was not all easy peezy though. There were definitely ups and downs but I truly believe that this is how a person grows, learns, and matures.
All smiles here!
Not only were there ups and downs emotionally, but physically as well. As we all know, when taking that first step into college worrying about the dreaded Freshman 15 is apparent. Yet, there are a
few ton of ways to combat this crisis.
Once you wave goodbye to your parents you are beginning a brand new chapter in your life. Your parents are not there every day to help keep you on track, feed you, lecture you...this is all you.
There are great resources at colleges that students should take full advantage of: the gym. At OSU, we had multiple workout facilities and I took full advantage of them. This was one of the ways that helped keep a few of those unwanted pounds off. I would make sure that I would workout 4-5 times a week and incorporate both weight-lifting and cardio to get full maximization.
Cardio Canyon at Ohio State
Sometimes though, one may think "Oh I went to the gym, now I can eat whatever I want at the school cafeteria..." WRONG. It's difficult to say no to all the delicious, prepared foods staring right at your face screaming eat me, eat me. But just be conscious of your food decisions. Instead of getting fries with your burger, have a piece of fruit or some type of veggie that is not doused in butter and oil. If you do go to a buffet-style eating facility, limit your consumption since one is much more likely to eat until they are stuffed silly. Portion control is where it's at people!
Fill your body with the nutrients that it deserves.
So I've mentioned working out and eating to help combat the Freshman 15 yet there is one more huge component of college that everybody knows occurs: alcohol.
Sorry Mom and Dad, I hate to break it to ya this way but as crazy as it sounds I did drink as a freshman. Oops. One thing I didn't know though was that alcohol is simply empty calories and they quickly add up. So if you're not going to go to the gym or eat healthy, make sure you at least limit your alcohol consumption. And please play it safe. The legal drinking age is 21 and although most college students consume before this age at least be smart about it. Do not leave your drink unattended. Do not try and out-drink others. Do not drink and drive.
Take all of these helpful hints into consideration and you will succeed at beating the Freshman 15.
Question of the Day:
What is your favorite college memory?
My favorite would have to be graduation. I know it sounds so typical, but the emotions that come with receiving a diploma after four hard years of school...nothing beats that feeling.

Here, however, are just a few examples of the work of David Cooke, the ceramic sculptor featured at Anstey Galleries (venue 25):
Venues I have not reached during my week are Lesley Anne Greene (venue 6) (and clustered with Ilkley Brewery, venue 16), creating ceramic sculpture, and who talked about her work on yesterday's blog-featured radio interview, Denise Ledgerwood (venue 15) who's work has been described by a Trail visitor as 'fascinating' and Chris and Ian Robinson (venue 18), two accomplished artists for the shoe leather of one.
What I can report is that 22 people visited venue 25, where I was invigilating, clutching a programme and working out a route around the Trail. This has been a most affirming thing.
I met with Rachel Feldberg tonight, Director of Ilkley Literature Festival, who passes on her congratulations to all Trail participants for a trail she has heard really good reports about, throughout this year's Literature Festival.She regrets that she has had no time to see any herself, but is sending her sister, who is staying with her, around the Art Trail at the weekend. Praise indeed.
All venues are gearing up for a busy weekend and a successful (in many ways), first ever Ilkley Art trail.
And so, to the penultimate day...

Cerami & Associates provided acoustical and audiovisual (AV) design services for the rehabilitation of the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse complex. The 720,000 sf building is split into two towers; the lower tower and the upper tower both house the Large District Courtrooms, and the District Courtrooms and US Court of Appeals reside on the upper floors.
Our acoustical consultants surveyed existing conditions in representative courtroom spaces to comply with the US Courts Design Guide. We then specified supplemental acoustical absorption for the ceilings and walls, as the majority of spaces consisted of primarily hard, acoustically reflective surfaces.
Cerami also upgraded more than 20 Courtrooms with state-of-the-art AV systems. The functions of the Courtrooms include local audio reinforcement, local video presentation of evidence, audio conferencing and videoconferencing. Video and data images can be easily viewed from several LCD monitors, strategically placed throughout the courtroom. Throughout the project, we have worked to ensure the AV systems being implemented will help simplify court proceedings, and that acoustical solutions would provide clarity of voice, making the courthouse an efficient house of justice.

The elusive and contrary nature of the digital medium and its unsettled relationship with both
ourselves and with the physical world forms the basis for the recent work.
Computer programs are written to generate unique events in 'real time' on screens, projections
and inkjet prints that focus on the intrinsic properties of these digital media.
The programs operate at the primary scale of the medium's smallest visual element (the pixel or
inkjet dot) by treating each element as a separate individual entity.
The medium is no longer transparent but opaque.
Digital inkjet prints on fabric.
The flurry of microscopic ink drops propelled on to a surface by a digital inkjet printer is vastly
magnified and forms the granular weave of these enlarged prints of prints – an unsettled
suspension wavering between the virtual and the physical.
The project has been assisted by Eli Zafran and Lisa Peachey.
Scanning by Andrew Godfrey.
Real time computer program and LCD screen.
A real time computer program selects a colour at random from the millions of possible colours in
the computer's palette and fills all the pixels on the screen with this colour.
The program immediately selects another colour at random to take its place on the screen and
continues to repeat this selection process as fast as possible.
Different variations of horizontal banding appear across the screen that are directly due to the
particular specifications of the computer being used and the refresh rate of the screen.
The physical characteristics of the medium are brought to the surface.

The June long weekend is finally here! There's something bittersweet about this long weekend, it's always most welcome after the (what feels like) eternity since easter, but it also signifies the true start to winter and the long slog until the next one in October! We have a few plans for the weekend, I'm hoping we will get a day trip in somewhere one day, we will celebrate Jerry's 6th birthday (he truly is my first, and possibly most demanding baby - the volumes those eyes and looks speak is impressive), and catch up with friends.
I'm also hoping to finish my book (I'm reading One Hundred Years of Solitude), watch a few more episodes of Sweetbitter (really enjoying that), listen to Echoes in Blue before we see City Calm Down in a few weeks, and maybe cook some pasta from scratch. Oh, and I have an idea for a little screen print in mind....if I get through half these plans I'll feel successful!

Bethel, Alaska has been called "a bootleggers paradise." Surrounded by 56 small villages with varying degrees of prohibition, my home base of 6,000 people has no limits on importing alcohol. People can and do buy cases of liquor have it delivered to the airport. Once in the regional hub, it travels by snowmobile, boat, and plance across millions of acres of low tundra, rivers, and mountains to customers in places that have banned it.
I recently completed a fellowship with the Alaska Press Club for KYUK which asked Alaskan journalists to tell the story of alcohol by digging into the data beneath the state's alcohol reality and the stories it reveals. I chose to focus on bootlegging: the illegal movement of liquor to the dozens of villages in remote Alaska that have voted to ban the importation, sale, or possession of alcohol.
The villages are traditional Alaska Native communities in which a cash-subsistence economy dominates. There are few jobs and people work together to catch fish, hunt moose, and live life in one of the most challenging environments in the world.
The economics of illegal alcohol are staggering. People in Bethel can buy alcohol from Anchorage via air carrier, or by bringing it back in their luggage. There are no local stores now (although that may change over the next several months.)
While the 56 villages surrounding Bethel are indeed isolated, they're simultaneously very connected to the Bethel. With the Kuskokwim river freezes in the winter, the river turns into a literal ice highway.
Trucks, snowmobiles, and ATV's make the trip hundreds of miles from village to Bethel and back. During the summer, a fleet of 16′ Lund skiffs run people to medical appointments, groceries to villages, and inevitably, thousands of bottles of booze. Several airlines fly multiple trips from Bethel daily. With no limits on importing alcohol to the hub Bethel, a highly sophisticated illicit market has taken hold. What was a $10 plastic jug of R&R blended whiskey in Anchorage becomes a $300 item in remote coastal villages.The further from Bethel, the more expensive the bottle.
Life is tough in the YK Delta. Be it from alcohol, economics, historical trauma, or otherwise, the standard of life suffers in southwest Alaska. One in two women have experienced sexual or partner violence. Crime is inextricably linked with alcohol. Suicide rates are astronomical. The king salmon that define a large part of the identity of Yup'ik people have been in decline for years. My challenge was to tell that story. With data.
It's a subject worth several books and a lifetime of learning. But as a small market, general assignment radio reporter, I guess I signed up for short deadlines and dozens of beats.
The fellowship included five intensive days of working with Lam Thuy Vo and Abraham Hyatt, two of today's top journalist/hacker/etc. types.
PART 1 – Troopers
I asked the Alaska Department of Public Safety for information about bootlegging incidents over the last several years. I've hit a million brick walls in my time as a reporter, but sometimes when you ask, you receive. State leaders pulled a custom query from the decades-old database, ASPIN , that broke down bootlegging "incidents" by date and location.
The data showed a robust bootlegging economy spread across my region. I connected with a three-person team in Bethel that chases bottles all day, everyday. As they work in plainclothes and try to be discreet as they pursue cases big and small, they typically don't take many interview.
I wasn't allowed to photograph their faces. State PIOs did not let me spend time with them on the job. That will be for another story…
PART 2 – Akiak
The WAANT (Western Alaska Alcohol and Narcotics Team) is based in Bethel and cant' be in every village every day. Tribal governments have a law enforcement duty and are well situated in villages meet the bootleggers where they work. Four Kuskowkwim villages have joined forces. I visited Akiak, home of Iditarod musher, alcohol counselor, tribal leader, and Mike Williams. He's lost six brothers to alcohol.
Akiak sets up a checkpoint where the ice highway meets the villages.
During times when they know booze will be moving: payday, dog races, basketball tournaments, etc, the tribal police set up a checkpoint to search everyone coming into the villages. An hours drive from Bethel, a bottle of whiskey costs $80, a massive markup over Anchorage prices. They've seized 500 bottles this winter from the checkpoint. State law enforcement says they can't help with the checkpoints for legal reasons.
Tribal policemen, however, working under direction from their tribal governing bodies log long hours trying to keep alcohol out. They say it's easier to deal with a bottle at the river, rather than after someone's drunk and violent.
PART 3 – Postal Inspectors
Founded by Benjamin Franklin, the United States Postal Inspection Service has a unique mission in Alaska. A small team works to root out liquor being sent by mail across the state.
The tricks of the trade are evidently well known. Burping: Open the bottles, squeeze out the air so that they don't make any "glugging" noises when moved, and duct-tape them shut. Others fill orange juice bottles with liquor.
While my region's alcohol issue is pervasive and hard to corner, I'm very glad I was able to speak with some of the people on the front lines of trying to stop the illegal movement of liquor. It's a huge concern for KYUK's listeners and a topic worth much more coverage. I'll showcase the other fellows' projects in the next post.

Ambulance Service On Alert In Hot Weather
Published at 9:59am 30th May 2012. (Updated at 10:48am 30th May 2012)
An ambulance service that serves Dorset is anticipating an increased number of calls for help this week (Monday 28th May).
South Western Ambulance says the warmer weather is likely to be the contributory factor, especially for people with respiratory conditions.
They want us to "think carefully" before dialling 999.
If the situation is not an emergency (like a stroke, heart attack, severe bleeding or chocking) we're urged to consider alternative means of healthcare. For example visiting minor injury units, visiting a GP or pharmacist or calling NHS Direct for over the phone health advice 0845 46 47.
Health officials say you can take measures to help yourself too, including keeping hydrated by drinking lots of water, seeking shade between 11:00 and 14:00 when the sun is at its hottest, wearing a hat, monitoring their alcohol intake and checking on vulnerable family members, friends and neighbours.

text: The building and construction industry plays a crucial role in the economy as the third largest employer of Australians, creating more than a million jobs and training around 50,000 apprentices each year. To meet current projected demand, we need an additional 300,000 employees, apprentices and independent contractors over the next decade and 50,000 new entrants each year over the next ten years, and to offset the increasing number of workers entering retirement. Unless this demand is met, we will suffer a crippling skills shortfall, and even greater housing affordability pressures, as has happened in the past. Australia's future productivity and competitiveness depend on a highly skilled and trained workforce. The national vocational and educational training system has not kept up pace with the changes in work practices in the construction industry. There is a need for both qualifications and skill sets to enable industry to recognise the skills of its workforce. Employers have reported that apprentice quality is the number one issue impacting on their businesses. Master Builders believes in training young Australians first. The building industry is proud to train more apprentices each year than any other industry. However, the industry also relies on the immigration system to help meet skills shortages, particularly in remote areas or for jobs requiring specialised technical expertise. Skilled migrants play an important role in meeting immediate and longer term skills shortages and in enhancing innovation through knowledge transfer. Reasonable access to temporary skilled migrants on 457 visas is important to meeting urgent demand for specific skill sets not immediately available in the broader Australian workforce.

Dirt and grime under your nails is not the only reason why you should keep your hands out of your mouth. Excessive nail biting can also change the surface of your nails causing them to become permanently uneven with bumps and ridges.

Your filing technique may be doing more harm than good; particularly if you aren't filing in the same direction. Improper filing can lead to weak, thin and peeling nails. Get in the habit of filing your nails in the same direction using long calculated strokes to avoid further damage.

We all love a low-maintanence mani, but if it comes at the cost of your nail's health then you may have to reconsider. The acetone used for gel removal depleats nails of essential oils that help your nails maintain their health. Give your nails a rest and opt for a gel mani every other month instead.

We're all guilty of shaking up a bottle of nail polish before applying it, but if you've noticed that your manicure does not have a smooth finish it's because there are pockets of air that form when you shake up your color. Instead of shaking your polish, try rolling the bottle between your palms. This will decrease the presence of bubbles and allow for smooth application.

It may be conveninent to reprupose your nails as tools, but using your nails to scratch and tear things can damange the suface of the nail and lead to weak nails that break easily. So, next time you're tempted to use your nails to claw or tear something, reach for the proper tools!

Yes, applying a base coat is actually an essential step in the manicure process. Not only will a base coat help to even the surface, but it will also prevent your lacquer from staining your nail bed. So, even if you're in a rush, make time for a base coat.

Avoid cutting your cuticles during nail care. Not only will you run the risk of them growing back thicker, but it also puts your nails at risk of infection, as the cuticles serve as a protective barrier.

I note from the new edition of Costs Lawyer magazine that a total of 77 new people have applied for membership of the Association of Costs Lawyers. The majority of these are employed in costs firms, rather than being in-house law costs draftsmen. This is a very high number of new applicants and it makes me wonder why there should be this sudden influx at this particular point in time.
7 thoughts on "Association of Costs Lawyers membership"
isnt the simple answer the fact that the ACL has done its advertising right and consequently attracted many students whom wish to benefit from the training membership offers?
isnt this exactly what the whole idea was??
as an ex-Council member, perhaps you should be rather less cynical Simon
I think thus is encouraging. It seems to fly in the face of your concerns simon re jackson?
I assume that since the costs industry is about to shrink significantly (assuming the fixed costs are extended as planned), many people are trying to gain the competitive advantage of being formally qualified.
That's also assuming that being formally qualified IS actually an advantage but I'd have thought it must be at least a little bit?
I think its all the law graduates who couldn't get a training contract or pupillage, who have entered the cost world wanting to tell their mum that they are now a cough (costs)lawyer.
That could also be true – I wasn't clever enough to become a solicitor and that's exactly why I do costs instead.
Anon2, whilst i'm sure this is the case for a minority of law graduates and paralegals, some of us who have joined the ACL this year have been working in costs for several years and are already qualified in other aspects of the law.
Personally,I now feel it is time to benefit from the in depth training and knowledge that that the course offers and I am looking forward to undertaking the course over the next few years.
Some of us do actually enjoy our jobs and wish to progress further!

On Wedneday, March 30, Dame Vivienne Westwood hosted the official launch party for her flagship store at 8320 Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. Westwood has a reputation for producing edgy and punk-inspired, high-end collections so it seems only fitting that she would bring her aesthetic to one of LA's most colorful, eclectic shopping neighborhoods. AsThe Telegraph put it, "the kooky designer chose West Hollywood as the location for her first American shop, eschewing New York where style is more conservative and less prone to risk-taking."
On hand to celebrate the store's opening were eccentric celebs like Marilyn Manson and Dita Von Teese, as well as actresses Anna Kendrick, Malin Akerman, and Kristin Davis. Also present was Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks, spokeswoman for Westwood's new "Get A Life" Palladium Jewellery Collection, which also launched last night. Hendricks wore clothing designed by Westwood and jewelry from the new collection.
The three-story, 10,000 square foot shop is now open for Angelenos looking to see Westwood's newest creations. According to LA Weekly, "The Melrose outpost features selections from all of Westwood's lines for men, women and even babies. There are even limited edition, L.A.-only pieces. These range from a keychain with the store's contact info on the back, to a leather jacket and various accessories and t-shirts."

The meek and mousy little man wore wire-rimmed glasses, a rarity outside the largest cities. His hair was the color of ripe wheat, with touches of gray. His eyes, perpetually darting hither and yon like a rabbit seeking predators, were sunken into his skull and surrounded with crow's feet. He would not be given a second glance among the hard-living farmers of the Chiridon Valley.
I'd been with the caravan for three months. It had been the best time of my life.
The carriage's wheels were creating a hypnotic rhythm. Dame Thanda Lainsborough felt herself drifting out of awareness. That was dangerous, she reminded herself. Still, it was nostalgic. This was the same route she'd first taken after her marriage. That had been spring and this was fall, of course, but the trees were the same, the distant snow-capped mountains were the same, and even the approaching manor house was the same.
The Green Man was a welcome sight to the people of Crosswind Plateau. He would come and go as he pleased, staying long enough to swap stories, sell seeds, and dispense invariably accurate advice on the growing of crops or the tending of illnesses. His leather knapsack was packed full of all manner of strange things: exotic herbs flattened with care into paper packages, glass retorts full of faintly luminous liquids, a leather-bound tome marked with a curious foreign symbol, a small rectangular object tough as rock but flexible like a tree branch. Even when he would smack a child's hand away before it touched some of the more dangerous contents, there was never malice.

- Why isn't the

By default, Python packages are installed to
~/.local/bin. You can add this location to your path by appending it (
export PATH=$PATH:~/.local/bin).
- Why isn't the
- How can I run my jobs on a cluster?
- Which configuration file has which settings?
Here's a list: config files
- What's the difference between looper and pypiper?
Pypiper and Looper work together as a comprehensive pipeline management system. Pypiper builds individual, single-sample pipelines that can be run one sample at a time. Looper then processes groups of samples, submitting appropriate pipelines to a cluster or server. The two projects are independent and can be used separately, but they are most powerful when combined.
- Why isn't looper submitting my pipeline:
Not submitting, flag found: ['*_completed.flag']?
When using
looper run, looper first checks the sample output for flag files (which can be _completed.flag, or _running.flag, or _failed.flag). Typically, we don't want to resubmit a job that's already running or already finished, so by default, looper will not submit a job when it finds a flag file. This is what the message above is indicating. If you do in fact want to re-rerun a sample (maybe you've updated the pipeline, or you want to run restart a failed attempt), you can do so by just passing
--ignore-flagsto looper at startup. This will skip the flag check for all samples. If you only want to re-run or restart a few samples, it's best to just delete the flag files for the samples you want to restart, then use
looper runas normal.
- Why isn't looper submitting my pipeline:
- How can I resubmit a subset of jobs that failed?
By default, looper will not submit a job that has already run. If you want to re-rerun a sample (maybe you've updated the pipeline, or you want to run restart a failed attempt), you can do so by passing
--ignore-flagsto looper at startup, but this will resubmit all samples. If you only want to re-run or restart a few samples, it's best to just delete the flag files manually for the samples you want to restart, then use
looper runas normal.
- Can I pass additional command-line arguments to my pipeline on-the-fly?
Yes! Any command-line arguments passed to looper run that are not consumed by looper will simply be handed off untouched to all the pipelines. This gives you a handy way to pass-through command-line arguments that you want passed to every job in a given looper run. For example, you may run looper run config.yaml -R – since looper `does not understand `-R, this will be passed to every pipeline.
For example, pypiper pipelines understand the –recover flag; so if you want to pass this flag through looper to all your pipeline runs, you may run looper run config.yaml –recover. Since looper `does not understand `–recover, this will be passed to every pipeline. Obviously, this feature is limited to passing flags that looper does not understand, because those arguments will be consumed by looper and not passed through to individual pipelines.
- How can I analyze my project interactively?
Looper uses the
peppypackage to model Project and Sample objects under the hood. These project objects are actually useful outside of looper. If you define your project using looper's standardized project definition format , you can use the project models to instantiate an in memory representation of your project and all of its samples, without using looper.
If you're interested in this, you should check out the peppy package. All the documentation for model objects has moved there.

Hip hop, and to be specific, the rap industry is fake big time. And no single figure embodies that more than Rick Ross, and that I believe is the primary motivation for most of the hatred that flows the rapper's way. But the irony is that despite his 'fake' status, his star has continued to rise, with the Miami rapper even making it to the Forbes Cash Kings top ten list of most paid rappers in the game today.
Bawse as he is fondly called by some, cut his teeth in rap building a fearsome image as a former drug king pin who had made a fortune trafficking cocaine worth millions before he decided to switch his energies to the mic. The man earned himself a reputation as one of the few braggards that can come close to Cash Money's Birdman in flaunting wealth, real and imaginary. Then it appeared to all come crashing down when DJ Vlad exposed a 'shameful' truth about Rick Ross' past. The man had not been a law breaker as he claimed; in fact he'd been a law enforcer, a correctional officer, that's the brutal security officers who maintain discipline in prisons. With rap full of malefactors and wannabe criminals, that made Ross the biggest infiltrator who had ever penetrated the rap game. Now uncovered, it was just a matter of time before the burly MC lost all he had painstakingly built around the fake persona as well as name that he adapted from a real life drug trafficker. All rappers looking for a cheap victory started firing shots at the emcee, each lining up to flog the dead horse, and it all seemed over when 50 Cent, the man who destroyed Ja Rule, got into the ring to finish Bawse. With the impending release of BISD, 50 Cent fell for a challenge by Rick Ross who was about to release Deeper Than Rap. Thinking it was a walkover for him, 50 Cent and the recording industry were in for a rude shock when the G Unit leader's album performed so dismally and Rick Ross edged him out in the album sales competition. Controversy still surrounds who sold more, but the fact that Interscope had to influence the industry to modify counting standards on 50's album was telling enough of how the former top seller had dropped in stature, and at the same time, how Rick Ross couldn't be wished away. Although both emcees sold in the 500,000 range, this was consistent by Rick Ross' standards, but dismal for 50 Cent who has sold over 1 million in a day in the past.
The fact that Rick Ross is still one of the best selling artists in the game today, is an insult to many rappers and fans who strongly believe that the game is meant only for 'real' artists. The meaning of real differs, but many seem to associate it with a harsh upbringing, and a few police records are a cherry to the cake. But for Rozay, a former cop to be at the top of the league, despite the fact that he no longer hides that he's a former law enforcer, means the industry is now a real business and it's indeed all about the sales and entertainment skills. This means that those who fancy or benefit from the hip hop's criminal association will always be against Ross, while those who just want to hear club bangers don't give a damn. As of now, the latter group seems to carry the day.
Rick Ross is not the first rapper to fake gangster connections just to get credibility, if at all anything, Gangsta rap has been built to a great extent by another certified faker. Dr Dre rapped about hustling, tasking out cops and even putting the chrome to the side of his homeboy, The Late Eazy E's cap. Back in the early nineties, then the two gangsta rap pioneers were feuding, Eazy revealed that Dre was no gangsta or hustler and was only included in NWA because of his production skills, and later given a fake gangster image. Over a decade later in mid 2000s, Dre admitted that he never was a gagster, and that has never been him.
As of now, both Rick Ross and Dre seem to be doing fine in the game, with Dre certified to be a hip hop hall of famer. But only time will tell if Rozay will follow in Dre's footsteps and become a hip hop legend too. But until then, he can expect more hate as he daily remind gangsta rappers and fans that they are as fake as he is.

well written.
LOL, thats some reality check
The boss is back rich4ever
Regarding Dr Dre at least Dre himself had skills in making beats and sounds etc and even though he is no gangsta at all he was never a cop nor a snitch, Ociffer Ricky was a cop and it's vomitive to see a cop have success in an industry where not only your rhymes and flow are important but your actual background in the streets.

Hi there penguins!
I noticed today that my Elite Spy Phone was blinking red, of course, that means there is a new Field-Ops out! Below is a complete guide of what you need to do to complete this Field-Ops!
First, head down to the Command Room to receive your Field-Ops.
Herbert has informed us he may strike during the Medieval Party. We have no clues for what he's planning. Do a full security sweep of the island. Make sure citizens are safe, and watch out for anything suspicious.
Next, head down to the Underground Pool or the 'Cave'. Then, waddle to the bottom-right hand corner of the room, exactly where i'm standing.
Once you have done so, your spy phone will blink green! Click it to begin your Field-Ops. You must destroy the circuits! Match circuit symbols to overload the wiring. Be quick! Time is running out!
After you have completed your Field-Ops, you will receive a medal and this message from Herbert!
(You found a tracking device hidden in the gold. There's a message attached to it.) Klutzy! Hide this tracking device in the room we talked about. This is step one in our plan. Make sure to hide it somewhere those Ear Picking Fools won't find it!
Looks like we've already found it. Good job agents!

General Project Information
Project Title: Helena-Lewis and Clark NF WBP Planting
Project Dates: 2016
Year project implementation started:
How many more years is this project expected to continue, if any?
Project Contact: (Please provide complete information for primary contact(s), e.g., name, position, phone number, email, agency name, unit/sub-unit)
Matthew Voigt – email@example.com – 406-791-7752;
Riley Dopler – firstname.lastname@example.com – 406-495-3920
Location (Land management agency or ownership and name of geographic area(s) where project was implemented. This information should be specific enough to identify a general project location on a map but not specific enough to compromise the project.)
1) Lincoln Ranger District (D4), Helena Zone of Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana
2) Belt Creek – White Sulphur Springs and Judith – Musselshell Ranger Districts (D3, D4, D6, D7), Lewis and Clark Zone of the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest, Montana
Cooperators: (List cooperating agencies and s 2016ub-units, other companies/organizations, and individuals as needed.)
Project Funding
Funding Sources (amount FHP/amount other incl. in-kind)
Forest Health Protection funding $ 9,600.00
Other funding $47, 011.44
Total $56,611.44
Did Whitebark Restoration funding get used or obligated? (If not, please explain.)
Project Details
Scope and/or Size of Project or Treated Area: (Include a short description of the project or treatment area if helpful in understanding the scope of the project.)
Number of Acres or Other Units Treated, Monitored, or Surveyed:
100 acres – 19,400 trees
Specific location of project or treated area(s): (If desired, add more specific project location information here, e.g., UTMs, Lat-long, specific landmark. Otherwise, indicate if more information is available by request.)
1) Lincoln RD – Helena Zone: Granite Butte (46.8696°N, 112.4533°W)
2) Lewis and Clark Zone: Lost Fork Ridge, D3-D7 (46.7711°N, 110.5786°W)
Objective(s) (from original request):
The expected result of these restoration projects is to successfully stock these areas with genetically diverse and locally adapted seedlings with a high degree of rust resistance.
Planting success of WBP on the Helena National Forest has been very good with stake row
surveys indicating 99% survival.
This will be the first operational planting effort on the Lewis and Clark National Forest but we intend to continue annual restoration plantings throughout the 310-acre analysis area identified on Lost Fork Ridge. Both of these projects should meet the objective while also furthering our local knowledge about using planting as a restoration tool. Subsequent monitoring efforts will also help determine future management techniques necessary to insure these plantations survive and perpetuate into the future. In the future, it is expected these trees will provide vital ecosystem services including: providing a food source for several species of birds and mammals, increasing watershed health by regulating snow melt and run off, and providing stability for rocky, shallow, and underdeveloped high elevation soils. Re-establishment of WBP in areas where populations have disappeared due to large scale disturbance will ultimately enhance and restore populations of this critical sensitive species on the Forest.
Planting: (Please answer the following questions if the project includes plantings or cone collections.)
Number of seedlings planted (List by location if applicable): 19,400
Was the seed source screened for resistance? (If other, explain.)
1) Granite Butte collection area seed was tested for rust resistance and determined to be in the top 25th percentile of rust resistance based on screening data from Regional Geneticist Dr. Mary Frances Mahalovich.
2) Lost Fork Ridge seedlings were derived from seed lot Jefferson11. This seed was collected prior to rust screening data being available for operational collections; however, seed was collected from plus trees, elite trees, and other phenotypically superior trees showing little to no sign of blister rust infection. Upon review of the screening data from collection areas, most of the seed collected in this effort was derived from collection areas in the top 25th percentile of rust resistance.
Were Plus trees used? Plus trees and others
Through FHP WBP restoration funding, Reforestation Partnership Funding, and Forest level funding we were able to plant 19,400 WBP seedlings across 100 acres of burned area that was once dominated by whitebark pine. We have furthered our knowledge of using whitebark pine planting as a tool to restore the species in areas that have burned over and have not successfully regenerated with whitebark pine. We have also been successful at procuring outside funding to accomplish these restoration goals by securing funds from both Forest Health Protection whitebark pine restoration funding and reforestation partnership funding to help augment limited appropriated funds for accomplishing this important work.
Project Status (Is the project complete? If not, what remains to be accomplished and when?
The project is complete. Planting was completed on the Granite Butte site on 10/12/2016. Planting was completed on the Lost Fork Ridge site on 10/14/2016.
Will outcome meet objectives?
Outcomes from this project should meet the objective of successfully stocking these areas with genetically diverse and locally adapted seedlings with a high degree of rust resistance.
Project Follow-Up
Are there plans for monitoring or follow-up? (If not, please explain.)
Yes, staked row surveys were installed in both plantations to systematically monitor the success of these plantings. Staked rows were established throughout the planting area to capture the variability of site and growing conditions. First, third, and fifth year stocking surveys have been scheduled to determine if the planting effort has achieved the desired stocking level within the units. In addition, long term monitoring plots are scheduled to be established next spring to allow us to repeatedly observe the health and survival of these seedlings and derive any future management actions necessary to ensure the success of these plantations into the future.
Changes Needed or Problems Encountered:
A few problems were encountered with the implementation of this project. The first was completing the Small NEPA process for the Lost Fork Ridge WBP Planting. This project was introduced to the Lewis and Clark Small NEPA team on December 3, 2015. The decision memo was not signed until September 28, 2016. Interdisciplinary analysis of this planting project took longer than expected due to the extensive work load specialists had obligated to larger NEPA projects (EA's and EIS's). The delay in the NEPA process resulted in delaying the lift/pack and shipping request from the Region 1 nursery in Coeur d' Alene. We were unable to receive these trees until 9/30 and scheduled the contract crew to start planting on 10/3. On 10/3, a winter storm hit central Montana blanketing the planting units with 2-4 inches of snow resulting in delay of planting until the snow melted. Planting was rescheduled for Monday, 10/11. On 10/11, another winter storm came through, depositing 2 inches of snow on Granite Butte and 8 inches of snow on the Lost Fork Ridge planting site. Warm weather followed this storm bringing highs in the 60's to the mountains and planting was able to occur later that week.
The freshly melted snow in the planting units provided great soil moisture conditions and luckily the ground had not frozen with the cold temperatures associated with these storms. Since planting, weather has been favorable at these high elevation sites hopefully allowing for root expansion from containers prior to trees going into dormancy for the winter.

Master Resale Rights For Internet Marketing Profits
For those seeking to generate an income online, one of the quickest ways is to resell digital products. Of course I am talking about master resale rights products, the most common being the ebook.
You'll also see these products referred to as MMR, as most people use the abbreviation or short hand. Likely you've also heard of private label rights, or PLR. The difference between the two is that PLR can be edit where MRR cannot. Although you can sell the heck out of them. More on that…
The beauty of these products are the included rights. When you purchase them, you are granted the ability to sell as many copies as you like. And they only need to be bought once. Buy them one time and sell over and over and over. Best yet, you get to keep 100% of the profits of every copy you sell. Since they are digital, there is no shipping and no manufacturing. With a proper sales system it can be a hands free income producer with high margins.
Plus many come with ready to go sales pages. Simply insert your payment link, upload to your domain and it's ready to make you money on automatic. Does it get any easier? Not to mention how this kind of system can work for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What about starting your own ecommerce store and being able to quickly stock it with ready to sell products?
Master resale rights products also come in different formats. As I've said the most popular are ebooks. There are also video's, audio, articles, templates, software and so much. As you can see, most every digital format is available. But wait, there is more…
Not only could you resell these digital products, they could also be used as content. For example, you can add MRR videos to a membership site for sought after content. Image having a membership site with members that give you money month after month, like clockwork.
There is yet another way you can use master resale rights to your advantage and that is for give away reports. Use them as a gift on a squeeze page to build yourself a email marketing list. As you know, list building can be one of the most lucrative ventures on the big ole net.
As you can see, there are many reasons and ways to profit from these digital products. And it is only the tip of the iceberg.
So if you want to earn online with your own internet marketing business, I am sure you see how to do it the easy way.
Only one thing left to do, pick up your own today and starting building a real business. You'll thank me later. Or you could send me some money.

This watch looks great. Thanks so much for the review.
Get Fit With The Garmin Vivoactive GPS Smartwatch
What do you think a wristwatch does? Simply tells time, right? Think again. Today a watch does much more than just telling time. Your modest everyday partner can now do an equivalent of what many handheld devices are built for. The smartwatches have stepped up the wearable game and moved beyond merely being a notification flashing gadget. Besides performing its basic function, a smartwatch keeps track of your health, becomes your phone and informs of the incoming messages and calls, navigates you to and from your desired destinations and much more.
While many brands have come up with their version of a smartwatch, Ryda houses only the best ones. Brands like Garmin, Suunto, Polar and many more present their exclusive collections at our online store. Of the extensive collection let us take a detailed look at Vivoactive GPS smartwatch by Garmin, which has been making waves ever since its launch.
Keep Fit – With in-built sports apps by Garmin for running, walking, cycling, swimming, playing golf and monitoring heart rate, keep track of your fitness regime like never before. The high resolution, water-resistant, sunlight-readable, color touchscreen lets you have a look at your daily exercise stats without any hassle. Also, the ultra-thin and exceptionally lightweight device, can be comfortably worn all day.
Not just this, since the smartwatch is GPS enabled, it calculates the number of steps taken, average pace, the distance travelled, time taken to perform a particular activity, calories burned, and a score of other precise parameters.

The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with.'
I spent the night binge watching it. I just couldn't stop.
I can't decide if Dichen Lachman (who plays Reileen Kawahara) is attractive or strange looking. I've seen her in several shows and my opinion goes back and forth.
|No worries!
Is it a movie or a series? The premise seems awesome to me. Choose what you look like, what race you are, what gender and change whenever you want to shell out the bucks for a new body. Live life with no regrets about what happens to your body because you can always replace it. Wanna go on a drinking / drug binge? No longer have to worry about your liver or the ill effects of drugs, just get a new body. Want to live the life of a daredevil without fear of dying? No problemo we'll pack a spare body just in case your chute doesn't open.
Pretty sweet.

I binged it, last night, as well. It was very good. Ironically, watched Blade Runner 2019 right before watching it. The sets, etc were very Blade Runner-esque.
About Dichen Lachman, I know what you're saying. She's very unique looking. I think she's very attractive.

I'll second this, right down to the ways I'm sure I could disappoint her. Her voice just adds to her allure.

G'day guys!
Sorry it's been a while since I last posted but I've been working on some really exciting things!
Today my guest post for Uninspired went live, and I'm so pleased to be able to finally share it with you!
Since stumbling across Nicole's blog earlier this year, I was struck by how similar our approach to life was. She's figuring things out and embracing all the up downs and cheesy pick up lines along the way, I'm inspired by her decision to share her experiences and her growth with us all and I am so happy to have contributed to her blog.
"To Never Seeing Each Other Again" has been in the works since December, and when I got chatting to Nicole and she invited me to guest post I thought this post would be perfect. Click here to check it out!
Whilst you're at it, please please please read Nicole's blog it's amazing! The Tinder files are hilarious, I know I've had many weird and wacky messages along with the downright rapey. Nicole is giving them the airing they deserve, and building a community of twenty somethings alongside it.
It's an honour to have written something for Uninspired, and I hope you enjoyed the blog as much as I do!
And the post has appeared just before Valentines Day! I hope you all have a lovely day, loving your beautiful selves!

Serie A 2010-2011: As it happened!
by MairaS on June 14, 2011
in Italian League
Serie A 2011 turned out to be a delightful watch this year for football fans, ending on a very high note for AC Milan fans and on a shocking one for others. Finishing with a tremendous 82 points, AC Milan football club topped the table with Internazionale and Napoli closely following its lead with 76 points and 70 points respectively. 7th May provided the breakthrough as a 0-0 draw with Roma proved sufficient for AC Milan to clench the title, a feat they accomplished for the first time in 7 years. AC Milan had not previously won a title after 2004, and this momentous victory not only consolidated their position within Italy's football arena, it also came as a greatly saddening blow to their rivals Inter Milan: this title both broke Inter Milan's five years winning streak and allowed AC Milan to climb up the honour ladder by tying with Inter Milan at 18 titles each. Both teams now trail behind Juventus that has to its honour a bolstering 27 titles.
One may ask, what happened to Jeventus this year?
Certainly not the most memorable year for them, as they finished at 7th place with a meager 58 points.
Antonio Cassano's transfer turned out to be a huge advantage for AC Milan this year, as the 29 year old displayed consistency and class; his most memorable performance of the season remains his penalty kick against arch rivals Inter Milan, sealing the match 3-0 in the favour of AC Milan.
They have been titled the best team in Italy, but there is no stopping yet for AC Milan. The team wishes to be hailed as the best team in Europe, and while this year's UEFA Championships worked in the favour of Barcelona, all is not lost for AC Milan. With a young manager, new players, and boosted confidence following the title fin, AC Milan is entirely capable of greater heights, and will definitely be a team to watch for in this coming year.

How to Get Rid of Human Viruses
Viruses are responsible for a number of sicknesses that ail humans. Unfortunately, there is no cures for viruses. This means it is up to you to get rid of a viral infection. The best way to do this is to strengthen your immune system since it is the only thing capable of getting killing viruses. Having a healthy diet of immune-boosting foods, taking vitamin supplements and practicing several other healthy living tips will create an immune system able to quickly rid the body of viruses.
Boositing Your Immune System Through Diet
Take Vitamin C supplements. Of all the foods and supplements you can take, Vitamin C is considered the most important. It has the ability to raise infection-fighting white blood cell numbers in the body. Fruits heavy in Vitamin C such as oranges and grapefruits are also beneficial.
Eat foods rich in Vitamin E such as grains, seeds and vegetable oil. Vitamin E helps reverse the slow down of the immune system as the body ages.
Use garlic whenever possible. Garlic has properties that help the body produce the antibodies responsible for killing viruses in the body.
Boosting Your Immune System Through Lifestyle Changes
Get plenty of rest. The body is unable to kill viruses effectively if it is sleep deprived. The body works at optimal levels when it is well rested.
Exercise on a regular basis to reduce stress. High stress levels significantly weaken the immune system and impede the body's ability to kill viruses.
Reduce alcohol intake. Too much alcohol in the diet will prevent white blood cells from multiplying. Alcohol also creates vitamin deficiencies that adversely affect the immune system. According to askdrsears.com, three or more alcoholic beverages is enough to negatively effect your immune system.

The following is an excerpt from OpinionJournal.com's "Best of the Web" written by the editor, James Taranto.
What Would We Do Without Experts?
"Teens Should Find Summer Jobs Now, Say Experts"–headline, WISH-TV website (Indianapolis), May 27
Reliable Sources
"CNN's John King reports that Democrats are privately calling President Obama 'detached,' 'flat footed,' and 'incompetent,' " notes Daniel Halper of The Weekly Standard:
"Forget for a moment that Republican outrage," said King on his CNN show [Sunday] morning. "More and more Democrats in key 2014 races are calling for the president to get a spine, they say, and fire his Veterans Affairs secretary. And what more and more Democrats are saying privately is scathing, calling the president and his team detached, flat footed, even incompetent.
And if anyone should know about the need to "get a spine," it's an anonymous coward.
Why Do Bad Things Always Happen to Him?
"Barack Obama is a historic figure and his election as president was hailed worldwide as a famous victory. But what awaited him was the worst set of national conditions since Herbert Hoover took the oath on the eve of the Great Depression some 80 years ago. Obama, as we all knew even as he took office in 2009, was inheriting the Great Recession. What we didn't know was that he was about to inherit something even more unmanageable: a set of global problems demanding leadership that a weary America was no longer eager or easily able to provide, and a changing world no longer willing to accept U.S. leadership without question."–John Farmer, Star-Ledger (Newark, N.J.), May 25
Other Than That, the Story Was Accurate
"An earlier version of this editorial misstated the dates of a pilot program to privatize inland revenue collection. It ran from 1996 to 1997, not 1996 to 1967."–New York Times, May 26

Review of Economic Perspectives, 2016, vol. 16, issue 1, 45-62
Whether an individual can or cannot participate in the Czech public health insurance system depends on several characteristics, one of which is whether he/she has permanent residence status in the Czech Republic, and a second whether he/she is employed. This means that those without permanent residence status, including self-employed migrants from third countries, their dependent relatives, and the dependent relatives of third country employees in the Czech Republic, cannot participate in the public health insurance system. Some argue that such migrants should be included in the system, since commercial health insurance is disadvantageous and the contributions they would pay into the public health insurance system would increase the public health insurance agencies' income. We estimate the value of the contributions to public health insurance that would be paid by third country self-employed and non-working immigrants, if they were insured based on data from 2011 to 2013, and compare this to the assumed costs of their medical care. To calculate the contributions for self-employed migrants we use data on the distribution of the tax base for self-employed persons from personal income tax returns. Our estimation results in an overall negative balance of 22 million CZK on the data for 2012 and 2013. In the current system this deficit would be covered by the state, which would pay contributions to the system for certain (state insured) persons amounting to 97 million CZK; overall therefore the inclusion of these immigrants would result in a positive balance of 75 million CZK.

Snap beans, also known as yellow or green beans, get their name from the sound heard when the bean is broken. You can choose pole beans that vine and need a trellis to climb, or you can choose the bush variety that grows about 2 feet tall. Pole beans take about 65 days to harvest while bush beans are ready for harvest in about 57 days. Snap beans prefer warmer soil, making planting time close to mid-spring or when the soil temperature is in the mid-60 degree range.
Select the seed variety, like Blue Lake. For a first-time grower of beans, bush beans can be a better selection to eliminate the need to build a vertical support structure.
Choose a sunny, well-drained location to plant snap beans around mid-May. Till the soil down to a depth of a least 10 inches using a shovel or rototiller. Work in 2 inches of organic matter, like leaf mold or compost.
Rake the area to remove rocks and to level the soil.
Plant bush bean seeds by pushing the seeds into the ground about 1 inch and space them about 3 inches apart. Pat the soil to cover the hole. If growing multiple rows, leaves 24 inches between rows. Plant pole beans to the same depth and distance apart, but leave 36 inches between rows.
Water the area. Continue to water weekly if there is no rainfall.
Hoe around the bean plants to uproot weeds as they appear.
Pick the beans when the plants are not wet from dew or rain, and the beans are long and firm. Store whole in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days. Wait until ready to cook before snapping off the ends.
