Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
I've played oboe for eight years. I started on a school model and purchased this in my fourth year of playing. It has a wonderful sound and I've never been told by anyone that I needed to purchase a better oboe. It will take you wherever you want to go. It?s taken me to All-State both in band and orchestra, as well as playing as a soloist, in symphonies, bands, and chamber music. Over the years, I've obviously had some repairs done, though this will be the case with any oboe. On this oboe, the two issues most likely to occur are probably a sticky split-ring key or sticking in the upper two trill keys. You may at some point also want to have the Low C pad replaced. I had mine replaced as the cement wore out, but that is over the course of five years of playing on this instrument. Really, a great instrument, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.
I had a Loree and had to make a change because the orchestras that I play oboe/English horn has some outdoor concert. I purchased the Fox 450 first because my English Horn is a Fox Product and I found it easy to play and a wonderful sound.
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

Revolutionary Vertical Gardens
Siam Paragon Vertical Garden
With the dream of bringing lush greenery to urban spaces, and reimagining the concept of the "built environment," architects have been establishing vertical gardens (aka living walls) all over the world. The plants in vertical gardens help absorb toxins in the air, regulate moisture, reduce reflection of light and heat, and they may even be used to grow a little food. They also add beauty and interest, and can have a calming effect on spaces.
Contemporary vertical landscaping was invented by Patrick Blanc, a French botanist who developed the idea after studying tree- and cliff-dwelling plants in the tropics. Blanc has made many installations around the world, including this terraced work in the Siam Paragon shopping center in Bangkok. Read on to see other innovative examples of this growing trend.
Patrick Blanc's Paris Wall
Patrick Blanc's living wall for the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris has become a world famous tourist attraction. Blanc's vertical gardens are composed of three parts: a metal frame that can attach to a wall or be free standing, a thin (and waterproof) PVC sheet and a layer of tough polyamide felt, which conducts water evenly and supports plant roots. An automated system applies water from the top, which is fortified with nutrients to feed the plants.
Starbucks Living Wall
Living walls come in many shapes, sizes and colors. They can work well indoors or outdoors, such as on this Starbucks on 4th Avenue in Seattle. According to Patrick Blanc, when properly installed, vertical gardens require little maintenance.
Living Wall Kits
Smith & Hawken displayed these gorgeous vertical garden kits at the San Francisco Flower and Garden Show, promoting a DIY take on the concept. You don't need massive surfaces, or famous designers, to plant your own.
Madrid Living Wall
Living walls can also be massive public works that serve as artistic and natural focal points, such as this big vertical garden in Madrid.
Melbourne Center Shot Tower
A vertical garden flourishes under the world's largest glass cone in the Melbourne Center in Australia, right next to the historic shot tower (also the world's largest). Shot towers were used to produce perfectly round ammunition by dropping the molten metal down several stories. Today Melbourne Center is a bustling shopping and office district.
Taiwan Vertical Garden
Vertical gardens are spreading around the world, from Europe to America and Asia, including this beautiful example in Taiwan.
Living Walls as Art
Vertical gardens can provide living palettes for art that beautifies and refreshes. With thousands of types of plants to choose from, there is a rainbow of possibilities.
Living walls can also be shaped into graphic patterns, such as this representation of Quetzalcoatl in Mexico City.
Galeries Lafayette Berlin
Vertical gardens can also be used as unique advertisements, such as this Patrick Blanc creation for the Galeries Lafayette in Berlin.

About Town and Parish Councillors
Q: How do I complain about a parish councillor?
Since the Localism Act 2012 complaining about a town or parish councillor is a post code lottery. There is no longer a national body to oversee standards. In theory you should complain to the council itself. Principal authority monitoring officers have no power to enforce decisions or actions on town or parish councils or councillors.
From May 2008, if you want to make a complaint about the behaviour of a Councillor, you must write to the relevant District, County or Unitary Council's Standards Committee.
A Best Practice Guide for residents and councils is available for FREE to all registered site members.

Since the 2012 Localism Act the following are no longer valid. We have left them to show what public rights have been removed.

Písek is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has a population of 29 909 (est. January 1, 2007). Písek is usually called "The Athens of the South", although Athens is much more southerly, because it has many high schools and schools of higher education, e.g. the Film School in Písek.
Up to the last decades of 19th century Písek was a centre of large autonomous Prácheň Region (also Prácheňský kraj) (today's Prachatice, Písek, Strakonice and part of Příbram, Klatovy, České Budějovice and Jižní Plzeňsko Counties).
Písek is easily accessible by road I/4 and I/20 from Prague (I/4 toward Prague is mostly highway R4), road I/20 from České Budějovice, road I/29 from Tábor and road I/20 from Plzeň. Road I/20 forms west-southern road bypass and road I/29 forms eastern road bypass, while joining I/20 at the south. Also, Písek lies on Zdice–Protivín and Tábor–Ražice rail lines. It is superbly connected to central and western Bohemia or the same way as to the southward situated Šumava (historically called Böhmerwald or Gabreta in Germanic and Celtic languages)

Ukraine's largest trade union is urging that a public sector pay freeze and energy price rises for households – all key conditions of the IMF's lending programme – be scrapped
Ukraines largest trade union federation is urging that a public sector pay freeze, energy price rises for households and an increase in the retirement age for women all key conditions of the IMFs lending programme be scrapped.
Vasyl Khara, general secretary of the Trade Union Federation of Ukraine, said the demand to ditch the measures was put to the IMF and government in tripartite talks last month in Kiev.
Khara said he had put the unions demands in writing to the Fund, and is awaiting a response. There was no comment from the IMF.
If union demands are not heeded, we will picket the IMF. We will tell the Ukrainian people that they have come here with evil intent, Khara told Emerging Markets.
Khara, a parliamentary deputy for the ruling Party of Regions, led by president Viktor Yanukovich, has been criticised by other party members for his anti-IMF stance.
The public split shows how sensitive the party is to popular hostility to the austerity measures linked to the Funds $15 billion programme for Ukraine, approved in July, which followed and partly refinanced a $10.5 billion programme approved in October 2008.
People have an extrem- ely negative view of the IMF, Khara said. The financial crisis struck a colossal blow to employment and living standards. One third of the industrial capacity has stood down or been closed. Now people are being asked to make more sacrifices.
Analysts doubt that the IMF will soften its stance on austerity measures, but say that the Party of Regionss resolve could be weakened.
Olga Pogarska, chief economist at the Sigma Bleyzer investment group in Kiev, said: The market responded well to Ukrainian debt issuance in part because the government has demonstrated willingness to cooperate with the IMF. This cooperation will be essential for continued refinancing.
The main thing that could affect the outlook is poor implementation of the measures, related, for example, to the local elections at the end of October.
Critics of the fund programme fear that it could tip Ukraine back into recession. Mark Weisbrot, co-director of the Centre for Economic and Policy Research, said: The last thing the Ukrainian economy needs is a fiscal tightening on this scale. This could be a big negative shock.
Popular opposition to austerity packages is a wild card in countries across Europe with IMF loan programmes.
Latvias Unity alliance, led by conservative prime minister Valdis Dombrovskis, won a general election decisively at the weekend, taking 63 of 100 parliamentary seats in a result seen as an endorsement of austerity policies.
Public opposition to austerity measures may not unfold in eastern Europe as rapidly as in western Europe, Weisbrot pointed out.
The eastern European countries have taken a beating, but civil society is weaker there than in the west, he said. In Spain, Portugal and elsewhere in western Europe governments have to reckon with a high level of opposition from civil society and the unions.
The decision by a joint venture between Russia and China to invest up to $2bn in key infrastructure projects will relieve the pressure on the Russian government to attract funds to offset the massive flight of capital
An imminent signing of a $500m loan by Uralkali, the world's largest potash producer, has not convinced bankers that Russia's frozen international loan markets is anywhere near thawing out
The Russian government's decisive moves in annexing Crimea and fomenting unrest in the Ukraine have fuelled fears among neighbouring states with large Russian-speaking populations
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is staging its annual meeting in Warsaw in a year that marks a number of important anniversaries for Poland, Eastern Europe and for the EBRD itself
A leading politician in Georgia last night condemned Russia's annexation of Crimea and intervention in Ukraine as fears mounted among other small CEE states, notably Lithuania and Estonia, that Moscow could take fresh steps to intervene in countries with large Russian speaking populations
The EBRD will take on Libya as a member this week but analysts are warning that the multilateral may be biting off more than it can chew
These days, the attempt to create faster growth without necessarily addressing supply-side effects has led to a hunt for yield which threatens misallocation of capital.

Finding Mr. Way5 Reviews
Cafeteria conversation...
At lunchtime, sophomore Mikey Way sat at his usual table with his buddy, and classmate, Frankie Iero. "Dude. You should of fucking seen it. I swear, Jessica's entire tit came out of her fucking bra. Nipple and everything." Frank told him, biting his sandwich.
Mikey laughed, and shook his head. "Sorry I missed that." Frank nodded in reply.
Mikey picked over the bag lunch, which he brought everyday because let's face it, every caf in every school sucks.
"Holy shit. Look."
Mikey looked up and saw this girl clad in skin tight jeans and equally snug baby pink sweater sauntering towards them with a determined look on her face. He knew immediately who she was. He watched as her hips swayed, and she flipped her chestnut/golden blond highlighted hair back.
"Kristian Colbert." Frank.
"I know who she is...but what is she doing coming over here?" Mikey answered back through gritted teeth.
He would soon get his answer. Kristian sat down next to Frankie, across from Mikey.
"Hi guys." She said, smiling like they were old friends. She looked from Mikey's face to Frank's, then back to Mikey again.
"Kristian? To what do we owe this pleasant surprise?" Frank asked, giving her an equally charming smile.
"Well, I'm glad you asked that question..."
"Frank." He informed her.
She smiled again sweetly. "Yes, Frank. I'm looking for someone. And I was told I should come to this table to find him. And if you are Frank, then you must be Mr. Way."
Mikey pushed his glasses up on his nose and licked his lips, Not at all intimidated by this girl's extraordinary beauty. "Well, my last name's definitely Way." He smirked, and he and Frank exchanged glances.
"Well then. You're the one I need to talk to." Kristian purred, giving Mikey a wink.
Mikey looked cockily over at Frank, who was in complete awe.
Kristian lifted her hips off of her chair and pulled a folded up sheet of paper from her front pocket.
"Did you do this?" She asked Mikey, lowering her eyes, but all the sexual overtone-age now gone. She unfolded the paper out in front of the three of them.
"Hell no. My brother did that. There's his name right there." Mikey pointed to the 'Gee-Way' in the lower right corner.
"I know, but I didn't know he wasn't you. I asked someone about the last name, and like I said, they told me to come to this table." Kristian told them. "Where can I find your brother? I really need to talk with him." She pleaded.
Mikey turned to Frank. "I think he's having a smoke....We could, take you...if you want."
Her eyes lit up. "Oh, could you? Please?"
Mikey gave her a quizzical glance. "What do you want with my brother anyway?"
"Actually? I saw this hanging in Mrs. Montgomery's class, and I knew I had to have it. And Him. He's not a virgin is he?" Kristian said with a straight face.
Frank's jaw hung open. Mikey rolled his eyes. "Bullshit. I know when I'm being fucked with. Frankie, close your mouth."
"I want him to help design the winter formal." She answered truthfully, giggling.
Mikey scoffed, and started packing his lunch back into the brown bag. "Yeah, good luck. Come on, we'll take you to him. This oughta be good."
Mikey and Frank led Kristian out of the caf, down the crowded corridor, and back towards the baseball field. The place where most kids came when they needed to smoke a cigarette...or...you know, something else.*
"He's over there. Do you want us to wait?" Frank asked. "No, it's ok. Hey, thanks you two.
Who knew there were such sweet, cute, little sophomore boys running aroud here? Maybe I shoud try dating down sometime." She blew the boys a kiss, making at least Frank blush before strolling over in the other Way brother's direction.
"Hey there." She spoke once she stopped in front of him. He didn't so much as look up. "Hey, Mr Way. I'm talking to you." She said again.
He took another drag off his marlboro and squinted to look up at her. She then noticed he had the most beautiful eyes she'd seen since...well, they were gorgeous.
"Look princess, whatever it is you're selling, honey, I don't wanna buy."
*-mari-juana,yo. not sex...jeez....lol.

I just want to go home…
The Sound of Silence. // Kinny
The two stayed put as the music began to fade when Kinny ended the song with a small exhale of breath, her figure sagging against his as this strange tenseness that was lingering in the air rolled away like mist. Though the male was no singer, he knew of the song well enough, as well as the message it sent. She had revealed more of herself, he knew, with the passion she had put into playing it for him. It was then that she scooted away, back to her spot, and his eyelids fluttered open and shut a few times, glancing at the sudden distance between them.
His jaw clenched slightly at the sound of her clearing her throat as if meaning to say something, and he peered over, mouth just slightly agape in faint wonder, but she couldn't find it in herself to say something. Kain forced his mouth to shut as to not appear like a dead, staring fish or the like before his eyes came back to the keys. There were words he wanted to say, but he couldn't find it in himself to voice them properly. He wanted to comfort her in some way without putting himself through the physical action that would tear at his walls.
Gulping slightly, his fingers sprawled out against the ebony and ivory keys as he closed his eyes and let himself go again. As a result, he began to play Not Alone by McFly, which was what appeared first on his mind. Perhaps he just wanted to tell Kinny that she wasn't the only one with crosses to bear and hurt on her mind. He certainly did feel that they were similar in some senses, though he dared not to express in what exact ways except through music. It hurt too much to tell the real tales behind his pain and suffering…
Even worse, it brought the ghosts back. And he doesn't want to have to deal with them, even though he knew very well he must be able to in order to move on someday. There will come a day when Kain will have to learn to forgive himself and not let his past harm him from living life like he used to before all that happened to him. When it will happen, he doesn't know. But, for now, he'll stick to biding his time dealing with others and just getting by until he can solve himself.
Kinny forced a smile as she tried to figure out what song Kain was playing. She racked her brain for the matching lyrics, knowing she'd heard the song a few times before. Without warning, she finally pulled out her phone, useless at Gray manner except for a few apps that didn't require internet. One of those was a song recovery program, and she recorded a snippit of the song before nodding her head in recollection as the lyrics splayed across the screen. She felt the air around them becoming vulnerable again, knowing that Kain was exposing part of his hidden self, deep beneath the layers of walls and protection. It was frankly becoming exhausting, spending so much time with him, yet knowing so little about him. She thought back to what Liz had told her. "Ask questions." Kinny had tried this once, and Kain had shut that cold door in her face as fast as she'd tried to open the latch. She wasn't sure if she could bear the humiliation of rejection again, and so soon.
Still, as he ended the song, watching his fingers cease their movement, Kinny felt she didn't have the energy to play another song. She was tired of playing songs. She wanted to hear Kain's voice again, though she wasn't sure if now would be the appropriate time. She bit her lip for a moment, engrossed in these thoughts. Suddenly, without warning, she blurted out the first thing that came to her mind. "My mother hated me. She always said my music was a waste of time. She said I could never perform in front of anyone because I have maddening panic attacks where I sometimes can't even breathe. Dante said that I don't know how to shut up. My mom couldn't even look at me, right before I left Alma. I just…sometimes I don't even know where I fit in. Even in Gray, I feel like an outcast. Does that make sense?" she inquired, pulling her eyebrows together in a frown, realizing she'd gone and opened her mouth again, exhaling the first thing that came to her mind. Kinny wasn't used to filtering her thoughts or speech. It was tiring that she needed to do so in Gray. It was a habit she feared she'd never grasp full understanding of.
The Sound of Silence. // Kinny
He simply nodded, though it was a very subtle motion, in response to her equally faint compliment. Kain felt that she was registering how a little on edge he was about the mental and emotional venting session/slip-up of a heart-to-heart via music, as she decided not to pursue or, at the very least, ask what had occurred. It seemed, she lost herself in her thoughts for some spare moments, in which he gratefully took to further calm down and level out his thoughts again. In his mind, even though the walls were rebuilt, he was going back over them and making sure there were no cracks; he might spill the truth if he wasn't careful, causing panic. Or worse.
He was pulled back out of his conscience when she leaned on him and, though it was very sudden, he didn't shrink away from her figure, letting her reach over and splay her own thin fingers over the keys. He darted his gaze to the piano as he noticed there was a heated blush crossing Kinny's cheeks, wondering what had caused that reaction. Surely, it must be embarrassment of having to shift over in order to reach the notes of the song she was about to play… Right? He couldn't find any other reason in which she would. Well, d'accord, there was another reason that just may explain the odd behavior. But it couldn't be true. And, even if it were, he wasn't going to let it develop. He can't.
As she began to play, he took a quiet and slow inhale, his nostrils filling up with the room's different smells, from the overwhelming scent of dust and decay to this delicate, feminine scent - perhaps perfume or shampoo… Or something of the like, coming from Kinny to his own light dab of cologne. She began to hum, and it quickened the time it took to recognize the song, though he stayed silent, reveling in the intertwining melody and harmony, as well as a hint of rhythm at rare points. Consumed by the moment caused by the music, Kain began to empathize this other side he remembered viewing the night she played her guitar for him, still feeling this unknown sting of pain, this wave of angst and suffering, that only her music revealed.
One couldn't help but wonder who caused it. Not that he'll ever voice it.
Kinny's mind soared above the two, seated on the piano's bench. She retreated to another place, far away from the drab Manor. The sting of recollection made her realize something she'd never voice aloud; somehow, she was happy to be in The Safehouse. Dante had been right. What did she have to go back to in Alma? A verbally abusive mother and a half-insane father? There certainly wasn't much of a future for her there. Hopefully, she would be rid of this place soon, and she could start her life over again. Still, that thought scared her. Kinny was never able to be alone entirely. Sure, she had her days where she'd lock herself in her room…but the rescue from that was knowing there was always someone waiting on the other side of the door. She couldn't imagine not having that comfort; couldn't fathom how not having that security blanket would affect her. Brief thoughts traveled to the boy beside her. Could she convince him to come with her, when the time came? She shook the thought violently from her head, though not showing any outward appearance as she battled inside herself. Of course he wouldn't go with her, and why was she thinking of such things when she barely knew him? A vague recollection seeped into her mind. Kinny was in love with love. She drew hearts on her hand when she was bored in class. She fantasized about snagging her own worldly boy once Dante and she arrived to the city. A piece of Kinny felt that if she only had someone to love, someone to take care of…it would make everything else go away. Not to say that Kain was only stand-in for this; she cared about Kain for who he was. However, it explained her fascination and draw to him, at least.
She finished the song with a sigh, lowering her shoulders so the tension melted into the ground. She turned her eyes toward Kain, forcing a smile. She sat quietly, not knowing exactly what to say at the moment. She felt the silence should hang in the air for a moment, so she kept her lips shut, realizing her proximity to Kain had remained despite the conclusion of her song. She battled within her mind, back and forth to determine whether she should scoot back over to her place on the bench. Reluctantly, with Dante's voice ringing in her ears, she moved back to the other side of the bench. Dante's voice continued, reminding her that he expected Kain and June would grow tired of her soon. Her brow furrowed as she contemplated that. Maybe they would. Maybe they all would. She cleared her throat to say something, then cowered for fear that she would disturb Kain.
Tempted to go for a wander.
You were the one that fucking got us put here in the first place!
Are we really going there again, Dante? Really?
Don't you just hate it when you go to make a sandwich
So ask them questions, don't analyse.
Well why don't you put a request in the suggestions box?
I have, I have. But not everyone is the most eager to answer my questions…
It'd be nice if we had one. But I don't think this place is homey enough for one of those.
The Sound of Silence. // Kinny
Kain shrugged a little at the compliment as if it were nothing. "To put things simply, many members in our family have naturally impeccable mental capacities, and we take pride in ourselves by cultivating it… Anyway, if I don't know it already, it can easily be figured out." Oh, if only she knew the reality of it, though. No matter how well he words it, it could never be truly shown its greatness unless he's in his working environment and mindset; psychology. There, his own wit is matched up with his many learned studies and sweetly complimented by ability to note-take and deduce.
As he played, his figure naturally bowed towards the keys, crooking at a certain point on his spine as those same adept appendages ghosting over, letting all of his pent-up emotions pass through the calloused tips with practiced ease. This had been his therapy for the last couple of years, though only those who witnessed him would ever know. Which now Kinny did.
She began to sing along, knowing the words, and he didn't hinder or pause, letting her voice carry softly. The tone held much understanding, even sharing, of Kain's struggles, and he half-smiled as he kept playing, glad enough that she was finding it in herself to sympathize and get a peek into what he's hiding away, even if it weren't him truly telling his tale.
The song slowed to as much of a sweet ending he could muster to contrast with the overall bitter feel, and he let out a slow exhale, just giving himself a few spare moments to gather up the pieces of his heart again, crafting them back and placing it carefully in the inner sanctum before erecting the walls again. That calm, distant facade overtook him again, and he finally opened his eyes and looked to Kinny, one of his top front teeth grazing over his bottom lip. His jaw clenched, and he found himself unable to form words, so his eyes darted away again a little off to the side, looking more at the section of the piano on her side moreso than herself.
Kinny noticed the half-smile forming on Kain's mouth, and she returned it. She was happy to provide some relief in the midst of so much pain. She could tell that his emotions built with the rising of the melody, as he pressed the keys harder against their cradle. Watching Kain was like a gentle, sometimes brutal, unveiling of something deep inside; something he continued shuffling away for fear of unleashing whatever he feared was hiding within himself. She'd thought more recently about what June had said; he had to be a victim of something horrible, yet his words voiced that he regarded himself as the villain. She'd spent countless hours (if she were honest) trying to figure Kain out. It was borderline obsessive, as Kinny had never met so many people who took a decoder key to figure them out. Most people were two dimensional, but Kain had what felt like hundreds of layers to pick through. It was slowly consuming her, and her patience was becoming non-existent. In the same token, she felt Kain was like a house of cards; if she pushed too much, they'd all come tumbling down.
Kinny watched as Kain finished the song, noticing it was literally like a switch had been turned on inside of his mind. She could see a physical representation of what was transpiring; he'd retreated within himself again. Kinny thought it was too bad they couldn't talk while playing music. She thought that only then would she actually pull anything from Kain. She decided to give him a break for a brief period, seeing that he was visibly pained, before his expression was painted over into a poker face again.
"I love that song," she said quietly, before racking her brain for the few covers she had learned. Her brother was also musical, and his taste was… darker than hers. She remembered one he'd taught her; a song that reminded her of the times with her mother. She'd never spoken out against her mother, mostly because it wouldn't do any good. One day, she'd been used as a verbal punching bag. Her mother urged her to work toward something more practical. She told her how stupid she'd been for thinking she'd have a career in music. She cited Kinny's anxiety as the reason. "How do you expect to perform in front of hundreds of people when the simplest things have you freaking out like a two year old?" her mother spat. She'd stepped into her brother's room, which held a keyboard. She'd tried to compose a song, but her tears were flooding the keyboard and her mind was a mess. "Here, sis…let me teach you a song," he said quietly, without even trying to approach the subject of their mother. It didn't do any good. No matter how much they complained about her, their father wouldn't leave her. He was too terrified of living life without her. So, with several hours of practice, she learned the next song; a perfect fit for the hidden angst Kinny held.
She didn't bother warning Kain of her proximity. She figured if he felt uncomfortable, he'd move. She reached over in front of him, leaning against his side to grant her further access to the keys she needed. They weren't too far from where she was sitting, but far enough to bridge the gap between them. She fought a grin as a hot blush rose to her cheeks. This time, she hummed along quietly, allowing the melody to consume them both. Images flashed in her mind of her mother's disapproving face. Her forehead crinkled with the recollection, feeling her eyes begin to glass over. In a way, she and Kain weren't so different. Kinny retreated within herself through music, and created a perfect world of innocence as she did so. Her world lacked corruption, the thought replaced with dollhouse dreams. Everyone was inherently good, and no one had ill intentions. The irony of this was her mother was the very thing she fought against. In the harshest days, Kinny had painted on a smile, refusing to let her mother know how much she hurt her. Kinny had her own walls placed firmly in front of her. The difference was her walls invited those who couldn't reach past her surface instead of pushing everyone away.
Don't you just hate it when you go to make a sandwich
Not if you don't care enough to over analyse it. Then it's not confusing at all.
So stop trying to figure them out and you'll become settled. Simple solution.
Nothing to do, very few ways to pass the time. Yes, I can see how it could feel like longer.
I can't help it! We're all going to be here for a long time. I might as well try to figure out who I'm living with. Otherwise, it feels awkward and uncomfortable. I'd rather live with people I know than perfect strangers.
No kidding. You'd think they'd at least organize activities for us instead of having us fend for ourselves.

April 5, 2012
Registration • Schedule • Call for Discussion Participants and Writers
The goal for the 2012 Transformative Learning Conference is to help the University of Central Oklahoma problem-solve through Transformative Learning. At this year's conference UCO will be the client; our faculty, staff and students will be the consultants. Participants will be able to creatively share solutions to challenges regarding the development of academic majors, university programs and campus initiatives that can effectively integrate the 'Central Six' in a meaningful way.
How will this conference work:
UCO faculty, staff and students submitted questions for deliberation regarding the transformative learning process. The questions were reviewed by the conference committee and panels will be formed to discuss each question. Faculty, staff and students will have the opportunity to participate as discussion group members. Each panel will have a moderator and two writers. To participate as a writer or as a discussion group member, visit the Call for Discussion Participants and Writers. This process reflects the conference title. We will engage Central through the submission of challenges that exist on campus; we will innovate through deliberation and collaboration amongst participation; and will solve the challenges that exist for our campus.
Moderators: Scholars and educators in their own right, moderators keep the conversation moving in the discussion sessions. It is their job to elicit comments and critical perspectives from discussion group members and to direct discussion to some resolution that can be captured in written articles. The conference committee has selected these individuals from our campus community who have shown commitment and leadership in the six tenets of transformative learning.
Writers: Members of the campus community with an active publication record are assigned to the topical groups. Their role is to distill core ideas; report on the diversity or similarity of opinion; and position the discussion within the current discourse on higher education and transformative learning. The writers report out what they hear at the end of the conference and follow up with published articles.
Student Presentations: Students were encouraged to submit their answer to the question, "How was I transformed at UCO?" The Transformative Learning Conference Committee will select students from those that submitted to share their transformative experiences during the 2012 conference. These students will be included in "video testimonials" that will play continuously during the first hour of the lunch break during the conference in Constitution Hall, in an engaging panel discussion, and through the presentation of posters during the conference. For questions regarding student presentations, please contact Jarrett Jobe, Executive Director of Student Leadership, at 405-974-2626 or via email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Can yesterday's news become news once again? The Rupert Murdoch-owned Myspace is hoping that a massive redesign of the social networking site will make it relevant once more.
Visitors to the site in the last few years will not have seen much difference but finally, the company has announced not just a major redesign, but a major reinvention as an entertainment hub instead a social media network. The move is a bold and necessary one for what was once the paramount social networking site on the web. Myspace has been superseded by Facebook and Twitter in the popularity stakes and the site has been on the downward spiral over the last four years.
This redesign will focus on music, movies, TV, celebrities and games content and will rely on curators – influential users of Myspace to bring new content to the attention of others. Aggregated pages on specific topics will include editorial content and posts from prominent news sites and blogs. Users will be able to share their finds with friends. The new redesign removes the cluttered and fully-customisable profiles of old with a standard page look. The old Myspace logo has also been replaced with a 'whatever you want it to be' "My_____" and the tagline 'A place for friends' has been dropped. (more…)

Qu Women's Play4Kay Link:
Play 4Kay has raised over $3.8 million since its inception on December 3, 2007. Kay Yow, former North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach, was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, and passed away on January 24, 2009, after her third bout with the disease. Over the course of her career Yow was very successful collecting more 700 career wins. The Kay Yow National Coach of the Year Award is now presented annually to the women's college basketball coach who shows exemplary personal character on and off the court.
Due to their unique partnership with The V Foundation, the Kay Yow Cancer Fund utilizes their Scientific Advisory Board to ensure donations support the cancer research projects with the most potential. Thus, grant recipients funded by the Kay Yow Cancer Fund have remarkable standing within the scientific community.

L2B event proves it's never too late for law
Readers' comments (4)
The profession needs more people with experience of working in other markets.
In my experience slightly older trainees progress to associate quicker than their younger peers.
It tends to even itself out by partner though.
Its really refreshing to learn about the "Not Too Late Event" and the buy-in from major law firms such as DLA and Freshfields. I genuinely believe that mature candidates can bring a wealth of experience and specialist knowledge to the trainee role, and it's encouraging to learn that some firms are recognising this too. I hope to attend the next event and have the opportunity to speak to like-minded candidates and share the trials and tribulations of entering into law beyond the age of 21!
I completed the GDL part-time this year while working full-time. I'm now 30 and probably slightly above the average age on my course . It was my intention to secure a TC but while working full-time and studying evening and weekends, finding the time to fill out the long applications requested by most firms was difficult. This is one aspect prospective students should bear in mind. I also felt that while many firms demand legal work experience, they ignore the sector knowledge, network and broader business skills a mature candidate brings. Also many use their vacation schemes as platforms to for their training contracts, offering upto 75% of their places to those on the schemes... A distinct disadvantage to mature candidates who are already working full-time. Disenchanted? Not completely, the course was great but not one person I know from it has secured a TC. A number of people have gone on to do the LPC without one as well - madness!!!
I recently requalified as a solicitor following a successful career in industry.
One of the biggest hurdles to land a training contract as an "oldie" is the graduate recruitment team within law firms. For example, I was ridiculed by a grad recruiter for one of organisations attending this event at a first interview for "bothering to apply given my age". Needless to say, I didn't get a second interview for a t/c there and I would not have anyway accepted to train there.
You'd think that once you were in a training contract your past commercial experience would be welcomed. In fact, in a couple of seats I had to deal with irritated or intimidated partners who did not like it that their trainee was not completely "virgin".
These events are wonderful for aspiring older lawyers however much groundwork is needed within law firms to ensure a welcoming environment for the aspirant.
