The Combo
Nothing is more frustrating than having a restored factory hot rod that just won't run the way it should. That was the problem with Eric DeRosa's supercharged '63 Studebaker Lark. As purchased by DeRosa back in 1998 in running condition, the car's original factory blower motor was long gone, replaced by a standard Stude 289 V8 engine. However, the lightweight, 3,000-pound Lark retained a bunch of its other rare options, including a Borg-Warner T10 four-speed manual trans, a 3.73:1 Dana 44 rearend with a limited-slip differential, a factory in-dash tachometer, and factory front disc brakes.
DeRosa relates, "Over the course of many years, I eventually purchased all the unique parts needed to convert the engine back to build-sheet–correct condition. When my brother, Adam, and I rebuilt the motor in 2009, we bored it 0.030-over and installed the high-performance factory cam, valves, springs, et cetera, but did not install the supercharger or the unique carb used with the blower. I ran it for a few years with a regular Edelbrock carb instead. In summer 2012, I finally put on the original Paxton supercharger and Carter AFB carb, which had been sitting on a shelf for many years. We also changed the rear gears to a more street-friendly 3.31:1. The car was rushed to completion just two days before I drove it to the big Studebaker national show, where it won a First Place award."
The Problem
But driving it there was no fun at all. The Stude ran extremely rich from the get-go. "It bogged, stalled, and was really a handful to get down the road," DeRosa recalls. "We switched out the metering rods to lean it out, but it wasn't enough." Fortunately, the Libertyville, Illinois–based car was located only 30 miles away from one of our favorite fix-it shops: Norm Brandes' Westech Automotive.
We called the Studebaker Parts Department, but they were closed.
The Diagnosis
As received, at idle, the choke would not fully release after warm-up, even with the choke thermostat set on its leanest notch. Westech temporarily disconnected the choke so the carb's basic calibration could be cleanly dialed in on its sophisticated Mustang chassis dyno that permits steady-state speed and rpm tests at varying loads. Combined with a wideband Lambda sensor, this lets the tuner really home in on part-throttle driveability issues. With the choke factored out, 35–65-mph road-load simulations were run on the dyno to find the part-throttle cruise "sweet spot"—the leanest portion of the carburetor where the power enrichment was just coming into play. Cruising at 60 mph, a 12:1 air/fuel (A/F) ratio was observed at 11.5–12 inches of vacuum at 2,200–3,200 rpm. "This showed the overall cruise mixture was set way too rich," explains Westech owner Norm Brandes. Further analysis revealed problems with both the ignition and carburetor.
The Fix: Distributor
Westech found the old factory-installed Prestolite dual-point distributor's mechanical advance curve came in later than called for by the stock factory specs. The cause, according to Brandes, was mainly "old, coagulated grease and oil binding up the mechanism, plus a little corrosion." A thorough clean-up and regrease got the centrifugal advance mechanism working correctly. The Westech crew also verified that the TDC marks on the balancer correctly aligned with the timing pointer at TDC, and that there was no observable balancer delamination. Ignition-coil voltage output was correct, and the point gap was on the money at 0.020 inch. Westech set the initial timing to stock specs and put the Stude back on the dyno.
The Fix: Clean-out
Technician "Doc" Clarbour ran the car at 3,500 rpm under moderate load and constant throttle for 20 minutes to blow any carbon buildup out of the combustion chambers. If a car is badly gummed up, the wideband oxygen sensor used for tuning purposes won't be accurate, and the car itself probably won't respond to any fine-tuning. You can do the same thing by driving down the highway at a constant 3,500 rpm for 20 minutes. The spark plugs were also decarbonized using a propane torch. After the clean out, the Stude's carb did lean out a tad, and idle quality improved, but it was still way too rich at cruise.

I didn't have bridesmaids. But when my cousin got married his bride wore a polka dot green dress and her bridesmaids were in a light brown version. Pretty a Woman had just come out and the dresses looked like the dress Julia Roberts wore to the polo match. They were lovely.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Qigong?
Qi is usually translated as Energy, Intelligence; Gong is usually translated as Work, Cultivation. Qigong is a Chinese practice that has thousands of years of history and involves persistent work with mind, breath and body to gain health,longevity,intelligence, peace and spiritual liberation. There are many different Qigong categories that focus on the different goals mentioned. To make sure you receive proper and safe instructions, we recommend you start your Qigong practice with a certified Qigong instructor instead of solely from reading a book or watching a video.
2. I am new to Qigong. Where should I start with Qi Dragon's Qigong training?
You can either start with our Monday Night Qigong to try the exercises first, or take any of our one-day introductory Qigong workshop if any. To fully receive the progressive and systematic teachings, you can directly start with our Qigong Formal Study Program – Level 1 Part I Life Preservation Qigong, a two day weekend workshop which requires no previous experience. If you desire deeper instruction, more guided intensive practice in a group setting and build a foundation for becoming a certified Qigong instructor and a certified Te Yi Medical Qigong practitioner, you will need to take the Level 1 Part I Life Preservation Qigong as a prerequisite for joining our Qigong Certificate Program.
3. Is it ok to study your Qigong if I have studied other styles of Qigong before?
Yes, it's no probem. Heavenly Essence Qigong arises from the synthesis of many traditional Qigong practices and doesn't conflict with any other styles. This study will only broden your knowledge of Qigong and deepen your existing practice. In the beginning stage of studying Qigong, it is helpful to explore a little bit what styles and what teachings speak to you and fit your needs. With further understanding of Qigong, you will naturally arrive at a place where you have a more focused practice of a style that you are gravitated towards and commited to.
4. Is this a Medical Qigong school?
Yes but not limited to. We start our Te Yi Medical Qigong practices in Level 1. This system has a big portion on Medical Qigong training and also offers other essential Daoist, Buddhist school advanced cultivation practices such as Microcosmic Orbit, Macrocosmic Orbit, internal Dan alchemy and etc. The whole system is based on the idea of realizing Life Self-control Project which emphasizes self cultivation and healing. Te Yi Medical Qigong is included in this comprehensive system to serve as a tool of self healing and helping others to heal. We offer Level 1 Part III Te Yi Medical Qigong called Kylin Displaying its Wonders Six Healing Methods which allow you to do healing on many kinds of diseases for others and for being a better receiver of Qigong healing. In Level 2-4 we progressively offer more advanced Te Yi Medical Qigong methods that are traditionally considered Shamanic Medicine. Our whole Medical Qigong has a complete system called Te Yi (Special Medicine). Grandmaster Zhang was the founder of Te Yi Science which included not only Medical Qigong therapy, but also all the other traditional healing modalities such as music therapy, dance therapy, natural therapy, Daoist Shamanistic therapy, psycho-therapy and many more.
5. What is Kylin? Why do you use Kylin image?
Kylin 麒麟, an ancient Chinese mythylogical animal that combines in a single body the essence of different species of living beings: the dragon's head, the pig's nose, the snake's scales, the deer's body, the tiger's back, the bear's waists, the ox's hooves and the lion's tail. It belongs to none of these species, but combines the powers of each. It is used as a symbolic animal for the Heavenly Essence Culture or Kylin Culture which combines the essence of different aspects of traditional Chinese cultures and modern cultures and integrates Western and Eastern philosophies. Heavenly Essence Qigong is one of the eight systems of this culture and is one of the most elaborate syntheses of Qigong as a totalising knowledge system that includes the elements of the five major Qigong Categories – Confucius Qigong, Daoist Qigong, Buddhist Qigong, Medical Qigong and Martial Qigong.
6. What do I need to know about attending Monday Night Qigong?
Please click to read about the Special Notes on Monday Night Qigong prior to attending.
7. Is Swimming Dragon Taichi part of Heavenly Essence Qigong system?
No. Swimming Dragon Taichi is not part of the Heavenly Essence Qigong, but part of Qi Dragon's Cultivation System. It is part of the Taiyi Swimming Dragon Sect which is the family traditon of Daoist Grandmaster Yu Anren. Liping is a disciple in both Swimming Dragon Sect and Heavenly Essence Qigong system and she integrates these two unusual systems into Qi Dragon™ Life Preservation and Dao Cultivation System to honor both lineages. Swimming Dragon Quan is a unique and graceful moving form that combines Taichi, Qigong and Yogic stretching elements into one. It is a movement form from a family system of Yu Anren, a special form that embodies beauty, strength, balance and grace. In Qi Dragon's Cultivation System, Swimming Dragon Quan is one of the main supplementary practices for the main Qigong training of Qi Dragon – Heavenly Essence Qigong system.

Kathleen Sirovy, former principal, , but memories of her live on with those who knew her and through numerous comments on two Facebook pages.
Sirovy served as principal at Oakmont High since 2002, but began her career at the school in 1972, according to an article in the Roseville Press Tribune. In 1996, she moved to Granite Bay High School to help its opening, where her husband, George, works as an athletic director and a special education teacher, according to the article.
During her time within the local schools, she touched many lives, as evidence by the comments left on "Smiles for Sirovy" and "Remembering Kathleen Sirovy" Facebook pages.
Here are some snapshots of comments left on the pages:
Ian Utz - Mrs. Sirovy was truly an inspiration. Her smile and warm compassion for every student made seeing her a privilege. Her advice was an extraordinary thing to receive; there was never a time when she wasn't sincere in what she said. Mrs. Sirovy came to Oakmont every day ready to make it a better place, and that's what I remember. If you had a question, she had some type of answer. If you had a problem, she had some solution. Mrs. Sirovy was one of the most loving women I knew, and it was an honor to know her in my first three years of high school.
Michael Migliore - To say you were an amazing woman is a total understatement. Your easy going attitude made everyones high school life that much better.
Brian Rhorer - Its amazing to think of the countless lives she touched while working for the district. A truly influential person in our community. Rest in peace.
Hanna Marie Adams - My favorite Sirovy memory was on my Graduation Day in 2007. I was told that Mrs. Sirovy was looking for me. When we found each other, she told me that she would be walking with me into the ceremony. It was one of my favorite memories of graduation day and my senior year.
Janel Bratt Schultz - Oakmont has lost a compassionate and caring soul. Always there for her fellow man. For the pleasure of knowing her, I will always be grateful.
Kate Smith - Thank you Mrs. Sirovy for being the kind, warmhearted person you were. You're 'can-do' attitude encouraged and inspired all who attended Oakmont to achieve their dreams through academics. May your soul rest in peace. You will be missed.
Erika Buckmaster - Mrs. Sirovy, you were such an incredible and inspiring person. You made the school what it is and allowed everyone to learn and live in a safe and fun place. It won't be the same without you. I know that our school and community will never forget you. Thank you for everything, rest in peace. We all love you ♥ ♥ ♥
Jordan Tyler Heckley - Mrs. Sirovy you were an insperation truly one of the best people I knew. You were so welcoming and just truly loved everyone! Thank you for all you did for me and the entire student body at Oakmont high school you will never be forgotten.
Amanda Rose Hinkson - RIP Mrs. Sirovy... you were the greatest of principal I ever had. You were there for everyone of your students and you always were willing to strike up a conversation with each and everyone of them. There will be many kids who will pass through Oakmont's halls and never know the joy you brought not only into my life but the lives of all your students. God bless you Mrs. Sirovy and may you forever rest in peace.
The two Facebook pages are meant for people to post their thoughts, memories and condolences to the family. " Remembering Kathleen Sirovy" was set up Saturday afternoon and within less than 24 hours, more than 400 people had "liked" the page. Comments kept pouring in as well. More than 1,300 people currently "like" " Smiles for Sirovy," where people have posted condolences as well.
A memorial has been set up at Oakmont High School on Cirby Way, where people have left flowers, notes and candles.

I feel like I have mentioned this before but feel the need to say it again: Miguel Gonzalez is a very underrated pitcher.
Gonzalez has pitched well for Baltimore this year, sporting an 8-5 record with a 3.84 ERA, an ERA that is better than big name pitchers such as Jon Lester from Boston, R.A. Dickey from Toronto, and CC Sabathia from New York. Not bad for a guy who was released by the Boston Red Sox in December of 2011.
Gonzalez got off to a bit of a rocky start this year, going 2-2 with a 4.58 ERA by early May, but he has pitched great since then. Even though his record stands at 8-5 right now, there were four games where he pitched at least five innings and allowed two or fewer runs. He should be at least 11-5 right now.
Gonzalez was also huge down the stretch for Baltimore in 2012. He did not allow more than two runs in any of his final five starts of 2012, including a brilliant seven-inning performance against the New York Yankees where he allowed only one run on five hits while striking out eight. Unfortunately for him and the Orioles, they lost the game 3-2.
Currently Baltimore is 67-56 and sits in third place in the AL East behind the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays. The O's are 4.5 games out of first place and three games out of the final Wild-Card spot. With their bullpen (more specifically their closer role) turning into a constant state of disarray, the O's will need to lean heavily on their starters to go deeper into the games. If 2012 is any indication of what he is made of, Gonzalez will do just that to help the Orioles make it back to the postseason.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
TEAMS: New York Yankees
Robinson Cano has propelled the vastly depleted New York Yankees to the American League East leader. His fast start will help him in his negotiations when he becomes the most coveted free agent next year, but Cano wants to display that he is a franchise player that can also be a huge contributor off the field. Nick D'Annibale is a 13-year-old fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) so the MLB Fan Cave thought it would be a great idea for him to stop by and play some street baseball. During their game an ice cream truck interrupts play, but what happens next is much better than any Choco Taco. Out of the ice cream truck pops Cano, who is Nick's favorite player. Nick not only gets to play baseball with the best second baseman, but also shares some ice cream. This is definitely the sweetest story. Article found on: Next Impulse Sports

THURSDAY, Dec. 12, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- A long-term exercise program may help ease depression in people with Parkinson's disease, according to a new, small study.
Researchers looked at 31 Parkinson's patients who were randomly assigned to an "early start" group that did an exercise program for 48 weeks or a "late start" group that worked out for 24 weeks. The program included three one-hour cardiovascular and resistance training workouts a week.
Depression symptoms improved much more among the patients in the 48-week group than among those in the 24-week group. This is important because mood is often more debilitating than movement problems for Parkinson's patients, said study leader Dr. Ariane Park, a movement disorder neurologist at Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center.
The study was published online recently in the journal Parkinsonism & Related Disorders.
More than half of Parkinson's patients have depression, Park noted in a university news release.
"We recommend exercise to all of our Parkinson's patients. Currently, there is no consensus on a standardized physical exercise regimen with regard to type, frequency and intensity," Park said. "The literature supports that any routine that improves physical fitness is good for Parkinson's disease -- and that can include walking, swimming, tai chi or even dancing," she added.
"We just want patients to move on a regular basis. Not only will they move better, but they will feel better," Park explained in the news release.
Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, affects more than one million Americans.

The U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke has more about Parkinson's disease.

How are EDI's global-service learning experiences different from regular study abroad or exchange programs?
Global-service learning has been defined by the Cornell Public Service Center as "an experiential education approach that links academic learning with meaningful community service activities, personal growth, and social awareness and responsibility." This means that the main purpose of the experience is not to learn facts about another country or take classes in a foreign setting, as may be the case for general study abroad or exchange programs, but to engage in community service and problem-solving while in a global setting and building intercultural relationships. Through EDI's GSL experiences, participating students will have opportunity to work with local organizations and citizens disability-related programs/projects. Delivering valuable service drawing upon academic learning and skills and contributing meaningfully to programs/projects in the host country remains to be one of the key elements of the program.
Are non-ILR students eligible to participate in GSL programs?
Yes. EDI's GSL programs are open to all Cornell undergraduate students regardless of their major, prior travel, or work experience. We seek students who are mature, self-motivated, have abilities to work in unfamiliar environment, and have a positive attitude and strong interpersonal skills. However, ILR students are given preference during the selection process and applicants need to be returning students in Fall 2014. An understanding and appreciation of the disability focus of the program is expected. Applicants are selected based on the quality of written applications, recommendations, and an interview.
Do I receive academic credit for my participation in a GSL program?
You receive 1 credit for the mandatory pre-departure course you take during the spring semester before going abroad. No academic credit is given for the time you spend in-country.
How do I pay for my participation in an EDI GSL program?
All selected applicants are fully funded by EDI. Students are awarded travel advances that cover all basic program-related travel, accommodation, insurance, and food costs. Additional personal expenses for sightseeing or souvenirs are not included.
Is the service-learning placement a paid internship?
No. You will not receive pay or compensation for the work you do while in-country.
When can I go abroad?
All current GSL programs have in-country stays during the summer. To qualify for a summer 2014 GSL experience, you must apply during the fall 2013 semester and, if selected, enroll in a 1-credit pre-departure course during spring 2014.
Do I have to speak the local language?
No. Many people you will work with in both Israel and India will speak at least some English. In addition to this, the first few weeks of the India program include cultural learning courses, including basic language classes.
What are the accommodations like on site?
Local accommodations will generally be arranged in hostels. Rooms are basic but clean, safe, and private. Working in partnership with the host organizations, EDI will arrange the accommodations for you.
Who will support me while I am in a service-learning placement abroad?

In addition to completing your final written paper or assignment, and completing a final survey, students will participate in a debriefing with EDI staff and faculty to provide additional feedback on their GSL experience. You will also be invited to share your experiences during the EDI information sessions in the Fall semester and participate as resource persons for the pre-departure course for the new group of students who get selected for the following year's GSL program.
These disability-focused Global Service Learning opportunities are sponsored by the Employment and Disability Institute at the ILR School, through a generous gift from Cornell University ILR School alumna K. Lisa Yang, in collaboration with the ILR School International Programs Office.
Are you interested in going abroad, but looking to do more than learn facts about another country, take classes in a foreign setting, or participate in a general study abroad program? Would you like to enhance your ability to solve problems in a global setting while applying your academic knowledge to the real world and building intercultural relationships?
Global service-learning (GSL) enables you to put classroom learning to work in the field, help local citizens meet a vital need through a community-driven project, and learn from others while contributing to their community and/or work-related efforts. This program helps you understand how you can make a difference in the world.
In EDI's service-learning programs, students connect academic learning, reflection, personal growth, and civic responsibility to meaningful community service experiences related to disabilities and the workplace. Current EDI GSL opportunities are available in Israel and India, and run for approximately six weeks each summer.
EDI's GSL programs aims to bring academic learning in class rooms and community service together to offer experiential learning in an international setting. As such, participating students will generally:
Applications for the 2015 program will be available Fall 2014. Thank you for your interest.

Lemongrass Restaurant Review: Located on the main floor of a charming Victorian house, this family-run Thai restaurant prides itself on its intensely flavored, notably hot food. There's a 1-20 spice scale, but diners are actively discouraged from going any higher than 3. Iron-stomached guests often challenge each other to go higher, but most regret it. Luckily, there is more to the cooking than hot peppers. You won't find the usual bulging menu that other Thai spots flaunt; instead, the kitchen turns out a small selection of tasty dishes. Red meat isn't served, but plenty of shrimp, chicken and vegetable curries along with stir-fries are available. Try the pad thai or the green curry chicken (you might want to stick with spice level 0). Note: Service is famously erratic, and it's a cash-only establishment.

Bryophyte Storage Methods
From the [HERBARIA] Listserv
Bryophyte packets can be stored flat or upright. If stored flat, they can be organized loose in palm folders. Kim Kersh at UC Berkeley says they borrowed this method from Helsinki by way of Dan Norris. Deb Trock at CAS uses this method also and says they overlap the packets inside the palm folders. Another flat storage scheme involves attaching the packets to mounting sheets and filing them in genus folders. Molly McMullen at DUKE says they attach the specimen packets to mounting sheets using a long-armed stapler. The packet is reinforced with a card so it is securely fastened. Using this method, specimens can be moved without destroying the packet; which is not the case if the packets are glued to the sheet. Advantages of all the flat storage methods include easy accommodation of any sized packet, prevention of damage, use of archival materials and storage in standard herbarium cases. Also, packets mounted on herbarium paper or mounted specimens can be interfiled in all the flat storage systems.
Three people described their upright storage systems. All upright storage systems are easily rearranged. Jim Croft at CANB reports they use standard (but large) index card filing cabinets for roughly A6 size cards, 12 drawers in each unit holding three rows of packets or similar footprint boxes. You can see a photo of the system at http://www.anbg.gov.au/cpbr/program/hc/hc-cryptogam.html.
I am grateful to you all for sharing your storage methods and patiently answering my questions.

Sustainability: You should research Abound SolarPosted on July 6th, 2013 No comments
Recently on national news a clip on the environmental disaster left by the now defunct Abound Solar depicted the Cadmium mess left by the company. Hundreds of galleons of hazard material and a factory contaminated with Cadmium and Silicon dust (which is explosive) were also documented, as well as stacks of contaminated useless panels. All of this has been well documented by www.denverpost.com. Just search on "abound solar." So solar is not all the clean and quiet power alternative that many environmentalists crack it up to be. And if this is going on in our own back yard, what's going on in China? See video below for some of the political aspects also.
The interesting aspects of Abound Solar are not confined to its facility in Colorado either. Seems that ex-governor Mitch Daniels and Tipton County Indiana learned some lessons the hard way. Hank

Stable job, most of the time in the office or in front of the computer. Lots of spreadsheets to analyse and hundreds of "data crunch" tasks. Some parts of it could be interesting to those who like accounting or are less prone to take risks. Not my case.
Caregivers are natural generators for positive energy. They thrive in social settings, especially when cultivating creativity. Expression and originality are important to the Caregiver—they are fascinated with the designs of life and love to share their findings with other people. Their attention is captivated by the oddities around them. The Caregiver's empathetic and sensitive nature makes them natural people-persons.

Chapter 1: You'd Be So Easy To Love3 Reviews
Have you ever experienced one-sided love? Hurts, don't it? Now you know how Gerard feels. Rate and Review.
"Mikey! What are you doing with my sketch pad!?" Gerard snatched the pad from his brother's hand and frantically checked if it's been ruined. It took him ages to draw the sketching of Johanna and he didn't want his nosey brother to see it.
"You have a crush on Johanna Favre? She's a total theatre geek. Those kinds of girls think that they're better than everyone and that they'll be on Broadway and all that bullshit."
"Don't speak of such blasphamy! That's not how she is. Johanna's...different." Gerard sighed. He tore the paper from the pad and tucked it into his coat pocket. For safe keeping, he thought to himself.
"Why don't you just grow a pair and tell her how you feel? I know for a fact that that's the only reason you joined choir. Just to be with her." Mikey got an idea and Gerard can tell that he's not going to like it. "I'll tell you what, tomorrow night is gonna be the last choir concert. Right before the seniors do their Senior Moments. Tell her everything. She'll either reject you or you guys will live happily ever after."
"What!? I can't do it. Why would she say yes to me? I'm just that emo loser who sits in the corner like a stupid loner." Gerard always had low self-esteem issues. He's been bullied left and right, so it was pretty obvious. That's why he's so glad that he's a senior. So he doesn't have to spend another dealing with those tiny brained jerks he's forced to call his fellow classmates.
After minutes of self-loathing, Gerard made up his mind. "You know what? I think I'll do it. Go big or go home."
Gerard hated wear wearing his choir tux. This was one of the many downfalls of being in choir. The costumes were awful, the people were pretentous, and the songs lacked variety. They were either from musical theatre or classical which would put Gerard to sleep.
The routine choir songs were over and it was time for the Senior Moments. Senior Moments are when seniors get to preform a song that get to reflect their personal style. Gerard didn't audition, mostly because just his fashion sense alone scared his choir director, let alone his music choices.
The seniors who preform get to change out of their choir tuxes and dress and change into something based on their preformances. Nearly all the girls were in short, tight and shimmering dresses that can blind a person in the spotlight. But one didn't.
And that was Johanna.
Rather than a short dress, Johanna's was floor length. A classy light blue dress with a subtle high slit to show off a little leg. Gerard could stop starring. Every motion caught his eye. But for some reason, she was pacing back and forth. Like she's nervous. But she's never nervous. Gerard came up to her and asked what's wrong.
"Oh, Gerard! This is it. The moment I've been waiting since freshman year. One mistake could ruin my moment! I want nothing to go wrong. I have to finish strong!" She hugging him.
She's actually hugging him. Quick Geetard, say something before she leaves.
"Hey Johanna. Can I tell you something?" Johanna looks up at Gerard an replies, "Sure thing." God that smile was enchanting.
"Um, well I know that we don't r-really talk as much and this might kinda creep you out, b-but I-"
"Johanna!" Interjected one of the tenors, Liam. "Suzette just finish Don't Rain On My Parade. We need to get onstage now!" Liam and another girl, Samantha grabbed her hands and ran to the side of the stage waiting to be announced.
Johanna looked at Gerard with apologetic eyes and told him, "You'll tell me the rest later." Gerard simply nodded. Now his nerves were in a craze even more. He stayed at the side of the stage and listen to their song. The piano began to play and Liam started the number. His voice sound nervous and he looked as if he's doing something wrong. And then Johanna interjected. Her voice was high and melodic. A soprano, no doubt. It sounded more confident unlike Liam. Although the song sounds sweet...and kind of romantic.
It's a love song.
Samantha was began in counter-part of Liam and Johanna. The story of the song started to make sense. Johanna and Liam are supposed to be in love while Samantha sings about her one-sided love for Liam. It was sweet, Gerard had to admit, but the thought of them together made him a little sick.
But when the song was over, Gerard saw something that made them nauseous. Absolutely sick to his stomach: They kiss.
It was to real to be staged. Liam wanted Johanna and now he's got her. Gerard had seen enough and ran backstage. Hopefully no one notice the tears in his eyes as he hid to the restrooms.
I hope you guys like it. Rate and Review please. Oh, and hear is the song Gerard was listening to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_qbS_a1-o&feature=related

Frist Meeting of the Finance Executive Club in Sarajevo
On December 17th, 2007, more than 20 CFOs of prominent companies and banks from Bosnia-Herzegovina gathered for the first time at the newly formed Finance Executive Club, initiated by Deloitte. Sead Bahtanović, Director and Country Leader in Deloitte Bosnia-Herzegovina, and Kurt Geyskens, Director in Deloitte Croatia, welcomed the participants and expressed their satisfaction with the interest the invitees showed for this Club. The guest speaker at the event was Mr. Dino Dogan, CFO from the telecommunications company VIPnet, who held a presentation on the topic "The Changing Role of the CFO Within a Central European Context". This interesting presentation was followed by an intensive discussion with the participants, in which Mr. Dogan and Deloitte's experts further elaborated some of the key issues for Financial Departments and their managers. The Club Members used this opportunity to point out the topics of interest to them, which will be discussed further in the next Club meetings: risk management, Basel II, internal controls, and others. The discussion continued in a more informal tone during lunch in the pleasant interior of The Sarajevo Pivnica (Brewery).

SPRAY BEAST Meets CAMBOSH
Mr cambosh hit me up with some photos recently, which I thoroughly enjoyed looking through. There are so many 'photographers' these days with there nice cameras, going and taking there 'nice' photos of whatever they think is interesting…
I have always thought a good photo makes its self and cambosh is always capturing these special moments and there all very nicely done. So I asked for an interview, and here it is.
Please Introduce yourself
Easy. My name's Campbell but friends tend to call me other things .. Cambo, Scramble, Yeast, Cunt, Bo, miserable cunt, Batty Creaks, etc etc
How long have you been taking photos?
For about 5 years or so. It started off as a bit of fun, going festivals and rolling about with the crew taking weird shots of absolute nutters sucking their faces off. To be honest I probably looked worse than them. Then after Uni, I started taking it a bit more seriously. I never really thought of it as a way to make a living until recently. I've had a lot of help from people in the creative industry. I'll big them up later.
Where are you from?
I live in North London, Crouch End, 20 minutes walk from the Arsenal stadium. I've been here 26 years now and it has changed a lot recently. It's a haven for up-and-coming actors these days. Doctor Who lived across the road from me for a bit. I made sure to give his house a proper pelting when it snowed. He's moved out now. You can't go anywhere without knocking into a fucking pram. I'm petitioning for a pram lane - it's the only way to get those wreckless babies off our pavements. As a kid me and my mates would crack a lot of joke at the local park, Stationers. It's full of wooden forts and dangerous rides - they had to take a lot of them down. We'd have stone fights. Eventually it would stop when one of us got hit in the head or a window was broken and the filth were called. We all had nasty robbing habits by the age of 9-10. That came to an abrupt end when my mate got chased out a shop, ran straight into the road and got hit full pelt by a car. He broke both his legs. Not a laughing matter. Usual pre-teen stuff really but I'm surprised I've made this far.
I see you have done a lot of promo shots of producers/artists, how did you get in to doing this?
This is not even an exaggeration but everyone I know is a producer or a promoter. Literally all my circles of mates are involved in the creative industry one way or another. I think for my close circle it all started with skateboarding in London city and meeting great people with similar interests. Music is obviously a big part of that scene - we learnt a lot through skate videos such as Welcome to Hell, Zoo York Mix Tape and all the Chocolate/Girl videos. We got into hip-hop, garage and then we all started raving and getting messy at about 15. All my mates got into DJing and now they've all progressed onto producing. A friend I met through skating Southbank back in the 90's, Barry AKA MC DVS was a major talent. He sang the chorus in that legendary Foreign Beggars tune, Hold On. He ended up smoking too much and losing the plot. Last time I heard he was in prison. It just goes to show you can have all the talent in the world but it's nothing without self-control and endless commitment.
Griminal Jammer Klose One
Seems you snap at a lot of partys and festivals. do you keep it clean, watch the madness unravel and document or are you in a worse state than your subjects?
A bit of both ! At festivals it's a no-brainer. In other words I have no brain. One time I remember throwing all my expensive kit out my bag in the middle of a crowd. Thank god my brother was there to keep an eye on me. Another time I took way too much Valium and passed out in a public tent. I woke up to find that all my kit had been stolen! It definitely helps being a bit tipsy when you're approaching people and giving them a bit of direction without pissing them off. Come to think of it my shots are always much better when I'm under the influence. Occasionally I work for an events company covering charity balls or launch parties and it's certainly not about being a special case. There's a time and a place for sure. They flew me out to Berlin for a night and 2 days to cover a Swatch event. As soon as I got a good batch of shots they let me get drunk off cocktails for the rest of the night. They're great fun to work with.
Considering your party shot antics, what is the most fucked up thing you've seen at a party
Hmmmmm.. I have to say when it comes to house parties, Brighton is way up there. The student houses are massive and no one gives a shit what happens to them. One time some cunt was intimidating people and punching them. It turned out he was a boxer and it took six of us to get him out. I just remember three mates continuously smashing his face in and he wouldn't budge. His nose was flattened and all six of them ended up falling down a 15 ft set of stairs. Banisters and blood were everywhere ! I felt sorry for my mate cos he was walking up as they were flying down. He hit the ground hard and everyone landed on top of him - all he got was a carpet burn on his thumb ! I had to laugh. At that same party I walked past a tramp who'd passed out and someone had pulled down his trousers and stuck a banana up his arse. That was pretty gruesome. I went to some pretty epic parties in London when I was younger. Without fail, everything would always get robbed. I remember a bunch of rude boys piling up the guy's family car with electrical equipment and dusting off at full speed. I could go on for days about this subject matter..
Perfect day?
Start off in the park, mid-summer with a big crew, disposable barbeques, tunes, drink followed by a massive rave and a three day bender. And hopefully get laid at the end of it if my tackle still works but that rarely happens!
Any hairy moments when out taking photos with scoundrels and the like?
I've had some hairy moments at squat parties in the middle of nowhere. You just have to make sure you choose the right people to photograph, have a strong crew and don't needlessly flash your camera about. I usually only take it out when I've scoped the scene and I know where the dodgey people are. The most hairy moment of my life was when I got taken hostage in my own flat. Four guys came in through the back door, tied me up and stole everything. I lost about 10 grand's worth of equipment. That was a sad day. I don't work for the Triads anymore! Completely legit now.
Favourite City/s & why?
Nothing beats London when it's hot as balls.
Best thing you've ever found?
I found a digital camera at Secret Garden festival. It makes up for the one that got stolen off me when I fell asleep the year before ! A tip to any festival goer - At first light, scour the site and you'll find a whole load of shit.
Ideal pet (any animal, alive, dead fictional whatever)
I would love a Huskie. I'd call it Rudey and we'd go on missions picking up girls on hot summer days. Just a pipe dream !
Power of flight or power of invisibility?
It would have to be invisibility. I would rekindle my love of robbing and make millions !
3 things you couldn't live with out
Music, friends and vegetables !
Worst thing you've done for cash (could be a job, not trying to incriminate you here)
We had this local drug dealer back in the day. He used to swap electrical goods for QBs of skunk. My brother's mate got caught and expelled. The same guy convinced me that it would be a good idea to sell pills and charlie. I used to ride around on my bike shotting to random people. I was only 15 at the time. My shotting career ended when I got taken hostage a few years ago. They took me up to my room, stole grands in cash, all my photography stuff. There was a point where I thought they were going to suffocate me when they picked up a pillow. But they took the case off and put it over my head so I couldn't see anything. Scary as fuck! I changed my ways after that. I make my P's purely off photography now!
What do you do when not taking flicks?
I still skate now and again but my knees ain't what they used to be. You can catch me at Cantalo's on hot, sunny days. I go to a lot of music events and exhibitions too. It's a good idea to keep up-to-date with creative news cos organisations are always throwing free drink parties. I went to one at the end of Summer where they were showcasing a new film by Spike Jonze. I got absolutely plastered and had to carry my friend out.
Any hidden talents?
I'm addicted to cookery programs and I've got a few cookery books now ! I'm such a Douche ! I'll cook you a mean feast anytime ! Also I grew up playing basketball. I used to go basketball camps and I captained my school team. I used to have the record for the most points ever scored in a school match ! When I got into skateboarding, my interest in it was replaced by music, drugs and having a good time. Plus my coach was a massive Pedo.
Last photo you saw that made you think 'yeaahhh'
I like Thomas Prior. All his photos make me go 'yeahhh'. Check him out. Also my mates Will Robson Scott and Ollie Grove. They have given me a lot of advice over the past few years. I spent £400 on this one Blabac photo of Eric Koston backside nose-blunting Hubba Hideout in San Fran. It reminds me of all the good times I used to have exploring London on a skateboard when I was younger. Epic photo.
Favourite photographer?
At the moment it's Kenneth O'Halloran. I came across his photos at the Photograhic Portrait Prize. His flicks of Gypsies are amazing.
Biggest gripe?
Most things annoy me. I'm a cynical bastard. My mate Jules has taught me to be a bit more open-minded about things.
If you could go back and see one gig in history what would it be?
I'm fucking pissed off I didn't go Glastonbury last year. I've been going every year for the past 6-7 years and I've always come back with a bad case of gangrene and shit on everything. I'm so gutted I missed the first roasting hot, bone-dry Glasto in about a decade.
One person you'd like to have a drink with?
Anyone from Happy Mondays. They know how to party.
Last good film you saw
There are too many but my favourite film has to be Good Will Hunting. Prodigies always fascinate me. Basketball Diaries too - it's quite similar to my story growing up. Read the book, it's amazing. It's by Jim Carroll.
Youtube me a good tune
I'm proper into liquid drum & bass - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcGxBoh-uVE&feature=fvw
And here's a hip hop tune for old time's sake - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiOcVWQY2bc
Rock or Rap
Both. I love all music as long as it's produced well.
Who's cooler Justin Bieber or R. Kelly?
Well, I think of it like this. If I was stuck in a room with them I would say R. Kelly just to avoid getting raped. Then me and him could smash Bieber's face to a pulp with a fire extinguisher.
Best Munch?
All oriental food - Thai, Chinese, Japanese. I can't get enough. If you live in London check Thai-Ann at lunch. It's the second right off Chapel Market in Angel. The best Thai food you'll ever eat and good value.
If your life was a film what tune would you have playing out the end?
It would have to be Lower Your Eyelids to Die With the Sun by M83. Check it here for the best skate intro ever - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ8WMP5DoYA&feature=related
Hope that last question wasn't too dower. Any shouts or self promo, be shameless.
Thanks to Mum, Dad, Stew, Boyson, Solarity, RackNRuin, DJ Klose One, Session AKA Noisses, Jessie for being my beautiful muse, Hollie Cook, Rolf, all my friends, Will and Ollie for the advice, PYMCA, Lucy and everyone else from Sketch. Anyone else I've forgotten, Sorry !

Aerial of Queen's University by Billy Bishop, 1919, Queen's Archives
The Department of German Language and Literature at Queen's University was founded in 1902 by Professor John Macgillivray, who had been recruited to Queen's in 1888 during the time of the legendary Principal George Grant. Though his doctorate from the University of Leipzig was in French literature, German was Macgillivray's great love, and he ran the Department himself for the next quarter-century, with the aid of one or two assistants. His successor, who came in 1930 and left after World War II, was Heinrich Henel. The headship fell next to Hilda Laird, a former student and then assistant of Macgillivray's. Laird, a medievalist and a formidable figure in the history of Queen's, had already served as Dean of Women, and she was to be the only female departmental head at Queen's until 1970, serving for 15 years until 1962.
The expansion of the Department from a two- to a six-person operation began at this time, as did its reputation as a source of distinguished scholarly publications, owing largely to the contributions of two colleagues, Hans Eichner and Anthony Riley. Eichner had been recruited in 1950 and served as Department Head from 1962 to 1967. Though he moved to the University of Toronto in 1967, he began his career as an editor of Friedrich Schlegel while still at Queen's. Riley (who arrived in 1962, served as Head from 1967 to 1976, and remained until his retirement in 1992) achieved international recognition as Managing Editor of the critical edition of the works of Alfred Döblin. Other long-serving colleagues were Helmut Krausse (retired 1989), who also served as Head from 1977 to 1986, Rosemarie Hunter-Lougheed (retired 1988), Ernst Loeb (died 1988), and Christa Fell (retired 2002).
Among current faculty members, Dr. William Reeve, who came in 1971, is a specialist on nineteenth-century drama; Dr. Ulrich Scheck (arrived 1985 and currently Dean of Graduate Studies) publishes both on Romanticism and on post-1945 literature; Dr. Patrick O'Neill (arrived 1987), in addition to publishing widely in Comparative Literature, is an expert on Gunter Grass; Dr. David Pugh (arrived 1989) is a specialist on Weimar Classicism; Dr. Petra Fachinger (arrived 1998) is a comparatist specializing on ethnic-minority writing in Germany, and Dr. Jill Scott (arrived 2001) is also a comparatist and specializes on Viennese modernism. Departmental programming has in addition always been supported by a varying number of adjunct instructors. Dr. Diane Pitts, Dr. Jorica Perryman, and Dr. Monika Holzschuh Sator serve currently in this capacity.
A prominent feature of the post-1945 Department has been a flourishing graduate programme. In the 1970s the Department produced 29 M.A.s and 11 Ph.D.s In the 1980s the figures fell to 18 M.A.s and 6 Ph.D.s, but bounced back in the 1990s, with Ph.D.s overtaking M.A.s by 20 to 17. Besides the quality of instruction and supervision, the success of the programme has rested on a commitment to provide students with financial support for the full duration of their programmes (2 years for M.A.s, 4 for Ph.D.s). Holders of Queen's Ph.D.s in German now teach at Barnard College, Dalhousie University, the University of Guelph, the University of Ottawa, the University of Victoria and the University of Western Ontario. At both graduate and undergraduate levels, the curriculum has evolved away from medieval studies and the history of the language, which were prominent before 1945, and towards a more contemporary focus.
Similarly, the decline of German as a high school subject has meant that the Department has become heavily engaged in language instruction at the introductory and intermediate levels, an activity to which graduate students make an essential contribution as Teaching Assistants. Besides the programmes in German Language and Literature, medials have been introduced in Business German and German Studies. While undergraduate German majors were always encouraged to spend their third year at a university in a German-speaking country, they have since 1992 been able to apply to the Ontario/Baden-Württemberg Exchange, which offers an excellent administrative structure through which to organize a year abroad. At the graduate level, there is an exchange agreement with the Universität Karlsruhe, also dating back to 1992, under which Queen's students can study towards their programmes and also teach English for one or two semesters. Based on this record of success and innovation, the Department looks forward to the next decade confident in its ability to adapt to a changing environment while preserving its commitment to academic excellence.

It was very close to the venue we were in town for, and to a variety of restaurants. The complimentary breakfast was convenient since we were in a hurry to get on the road the next morning.
While it was listed as a non-smoking room, it smelled as if it had been smoked in in the past, and quite heavily. If they are all non-smoking rooms, I would suggest they clean or repaint/re-carpet to a degree that will eliminate the stale smoke odors.Overall, for the last minute decision I made to get a room and for the purpose of our stay, it was a decent place, in a convenient location, with friendly staff. I would stay again if I was guaranteed a room without the stale smoke odor.

The location was the best thing about the hotel. It's right next to great restaurants, plenty of stores, and the highway.
I did not like the fact that they charge a deposit for each night stayed at this hotel. The amount $25 is fine, but for each night is pretty excessive. If I needed to stay for a week they would have held an extra $175 as a deposit. That is just too much.The rooms were an okay size and very clean. The bed was kind of worn down in the middle. The hotel has a pool and jacuzzi but was filled my entire 3 day stay with unsupervised kids from 10 am until 11pm. The pool was the reason why I chose this hotel because it's big and great to swim laps. But i didn't get a chance to get in, not once during the 3 nights I stayed there. Perhaps they should create some adult pool hours specifically for adults. I could of stayed across the street for cheaper without a pool if I wasn't going to able to use the pool at this hotel.

Do yourself a favor and stay ANYWHERE else besides this dump.The front desk staff were pleasant but the manager was just plain creepy when we complained about the shower pressure he came barging in our room with an attitude.
