The Top Ten
1Hybrid Theory
Hybrid Theory and Meteora are both spectacular albums but I think that Hybrid Theory should be number one. This has better songs that Meteora and is their debut album. You can't get any better than this album.
I think people are getting a bit carried away here. Hybrid Theory is still their best album, Meteora is close but it's not better. Get this back to the top where it belongs.
Amazing and groundbreaking. Hybrid Theory and Korn's Follow the Leader album laid the ground work for all forms of nu metal and alternative rock to form into a world wide phenomenon. Hybrid Theory is one of those albums that most people could listen to for hours and even be able to listen to all the songs. In a way, Hybrid Theory is one of those rare perfect albums and is Linkin Parks best.
[Newest]This album is amazing it was probably their best album. In the End, Paper cut and runaway are my favoritesMore comments about Hybrid Theory
THIS is their best album. A Thousand Suns should be bottom of the list. I can't believe I wasted my cash on that trash.
It's one of the best albums I have ever heard for a long time! It has lots of unique songs and the lyrics are the BEST! Truly amazing work!
Just like Hybrid Theory, this is Linkin Park at its finest. In my opinion, this albulm is more organized and put together than Hybrid Theory. Meteora gives us a better and clearer understanding of the bands identity. This albulm is a perfect length in my opinion, (approx.37 min. ) I would say if you listen through the whole albulm starting in order from Foreword to Numb this album does not disappoint. It has its own 'character' and uniqueness to it and it is great piece of art.
[Newest]From all points of view, the best album of Linkin Park. It's a light-year far from what they do know...More comments about Meteora
3Living Things
Dang! I am not going to say this is the best album since Meteora, because it's the best album they've ever put out in my mind. Hybrid Theory and Meteora are both excellent and innovative, but this... This is so deep and so intense... I love it. Best album of 2012 right here.
Yes the previous comment is true and the many tracks have been launched so I am very very happy on 17 june 2012 now I'm downloading its songs from youtube I'm feeling very very fun
I also feel that it will the best album 2o12 so I'm waiting for june 26 for its all songs and to buy these album living things
Heard their first two singles and I am already excited for the album to come out, obviously going to be one of their best albums yet!

I think Hybrid Theory is the best but I voted for Living Things because I think it's about even with Meteora in my opinion. There are so many good songs on this album, especially "Castle of Glass", "I'll be Gone", "Lost in the Echo" and "In my Remains". "Burn it Down" is also pretty good. I would say this is the most innovative/experimental LP album and it is just an intense, mesmerizing experience listening to it. Definitely check it out. Linkin Park is still great.
[Newest]This should be the best album. I am not saying that other album are not good but I like thisMore comments about Living Things
4Minutes to Midnight
No more sorrow, leave out all the rest and what I have done are some of the bests rock songs eveer made,
Vocals drumming are perfect
Also try burning in the skies. Best of 1000 suns
Vocals drumming are perfect
Also try burning in the skies. Best of 1000 suns
Why is this not at least 2nd. Meteora and hybrid theory are great, but a thousand suns and living things can't compare to the previous three. I hate that they changed their music style. All the famous bands these days are changing because they are adapting to the music kids listen to pop basically. Their not changing because their "maturing" or "trying something new. "
I think that Minutes to Midnight should be third, mainly because it has some great songs like Given Up, What I've Done, and No More Sorrow, and some songs from Living Things have too much "artificial sounds", but I have to admit that Lost In The Echo, Castle of Glass, and Victimized are pretty good.
[Newest]This was the beginning of a new era of Linkin Park. I love this album very much. What I've Done was the greatest and Given Up is just awesome. When first listening to this album I was like "Is this really LP? " but now I am grateful for the change. It made fall in love with other kinds of music other than nu metal. This album is not the greatest but it's definitely a remarkable one.More comments about Minutes to Midnight
5A Thousand Suns
Ok, yes it's not their best album but it doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. BURNING IN THE SKIES is just epic, amazing, even better than Leave Out All The Rest and I thought that was the best "ballady" song by Linkin Park, this is even better. Listen to it. Other good songs include Wretches And Kings (sounds like old Linkin Park) and The Catalyst is quite good but overrated. Waiting For The End is "OK" but it's so overrated, as is Iridescent. BURNING IN THE SKIES is way better! Go vote for it in the "Best Linkin Park songs" list or vote for the classics like One Step Closer, Crawling, Points Of Authority etc.
I do not see why this album gets so much hate. It has a lot of good songs, some of which I can rank 5 stars (or Suns ;) Ohhoh, that was bad) out of 5. Besides Minutes To Midnight, it is one of the albums with the most diversity when it comes to style. It has Nu-Metal, it has Rap-Rock, it has that cross between Rock/Metal and techno. Wretches And Kings and When They Come For Me are very much like Hybrid Theory and Meteora. Again, some great songs like When They Come For Me, Wretches And Kings, The Catalyst, Burning In The Skies, Iridescent, Waiting For The End and I personally love Blackout (possibly because Chester actually says the line "F*** It! Are You Listening". Personally, this is my second favourite Linkin Park album, just barely beating out Hybrid Theory (even though my first and second favourite Linkin Park songs are One Step Closer and Papercut respectively) however it is still far behind the worthy-of-worship Meteora. God damn! Meteora is just one giant eargasm.
Very underrated album, artistically their best. I like the approach they took with a concept album.
[Newest]This album describes my life-More comments about A Thousand Suns
6The Hunting Party
The band is back & not only is the album amazing, but they stretch out in completely different directions & they join forces with other artists. The songs are nice & soft, but yet stunning such as Final Masquerade & Until It's Gone. The best song in my opinion though is Keys To The Kingdom. It starts of a bit like a song from A Thousand Suns, with a bit of epicness added to it with mixes of screaming & more epicness. I think this album surpasses the other albums for the first time since the beginning of the greatest band LINKIN PARK!
This album promised the return of Linkin Park's older sounds, which it did, but also did something so much more than that. It provided songs and sounds I never even knew I wanted to hear. The Hunting Party proves that Linkin Park can turn its sound on a dime, going from a more electronic centered feel, to the most organic album they've ever made in less than a year since their single with Steve Aoiki. This album reminds us that they are not a one trick pony and still have the same spirit that they had in Hybrid Theory back in 2000. Keep it up LP.
This album just floored me. Linkin Park has aged quite a bit, but can undoubtedly still kick ass. With the high amounts of screams, raps and guitar solos, this is easily their best album in years. Amazing work Chester, Mike, Joe, Brad, Rob and Phoenix!
[Newest]Tight, focused, raw energy. This is the future of rock.More comments about The Hunting Party
The remixes fit in perfect with the real songs. Linkin Park and the guest rappers plus the sound effects turn each song into something new and spontaneous. Easily their third best album after Hybrid Theory and Meteora!
Reanimation was one of their best albums. Sure it can't reach the fame as Hybrid Theory or Meteora but it still is one of their best collaboration/remix albums. I know most of the people are just 'fanboys' who think Linkin Park needs to go back are not including Reanimation, I mean come ON, this is at least #3 of their best albums guys.
This is better than a thousand suns, my favorites are: krwlng, enth e end, h! Vltg3, kyur 4 th ich and p5hng me a*wy
More comments about Reanimation
[newest]My favorite album, and it definitely deserves a higher rating than 6! Listen to this album and then listen to A Thousand Suns, or Minutes to Midnight, this one has to top them!
8Road To Revolution Live At Milton Keynes
So awesome album, I have more video Linkin Park in my youtobee, so awesome and suck. My favorite album.
9Hybrid Theory (EP)
This hybrid theory and meteora should be what linkin park should do
I personally think this is better than most studio albums/:
10Songs From The Underground
Songs like Qwerty, Across The Line, Pretend To Be, and "And One". These songs are only rare, which only Linkin Park fans know these songs.

I personally believe that all the songs in this album are the best ones put out by them. Most bands suck at live performances but Linkin Park really pulled through with this one and besides the interaction with the crowd it sounds like studio quality. And to reiterate all the songs are their top songs except maybe "pushing me away".
they sound so great when they're rocking it live!
This was them at their best I think the best song was P5HNG Me A*WY

to 243 feet are allowed, but the allowable draft depends on the beam and ranges from 52.5 feet to 36 feet for a wider vessel. Currently, tankers as large as 200,000 deadweight tons can pass through the Suez Canal.
The size of crude oil carriers (tankers) evolved from 10,000 to 20,000 deadweight tons in the 1940s to 1950s to 100,000 deadweight tons in the 1960s and 1970s. At first, size was somewhat dictated by the dimensions of the Suez Canal and the depth of major ports. However, recurring crises in the Middle East spurred the development of larger vessels. In the 1990s and 2000 very large crude carriers (VLCCs) with deadweight tonnage of 200,000 to 319,999 tons and ultra large crude carriers (ULCCs) with deadweight tonnage of 320,000 tons and more entered the fleet. These tankers can transport crude oil from the Persian Gulf around the Cape of Good Hope to deep-water ports in Europe and the U.S. East Coast, or across the Indian and Pacific oceans to the West Coast of North and South America.
At the beginning of 2005 there were 10,126 vessels in the tanker fleet, 7,650 of which were engaged in transporting crude oil. The average age of these vessels is 17.5 years, but it is dropping as the new double-hulled vessels enter the fleet and the older ones are retired. In 2003, the tanker fleet transported 1.7 billion metric tons of crude oil—the equivalent of roughly 12 billion barrels of oil, or nearly two-thirds of the oil consumed each year.3
The largest tankers are too big for most U.S. ports, so oil is off-loaded at sea through a process known as lightering. For example, the TI Europe, a 442,470-deadweight-ton ULCC, 1,246 feet long, picked up 3 million barrels of crude oil in the Persian Gulf, crossed the Arabian Sea, then traveled southeast through the Indian Ocean, past tsunami-ravaged Sri Lanka and the coast of Sumatra, along Java, through the Lombok Strait (between Bali and Lombok islands), northwest through Makassar Strait between Borneo and Celebes, past Mindanao, and into the Pacific Ocean. This route follows or crosses the Philippine Trench and the Mariana Trench—some of the deepest waters in the world's oceans. A ship lost at these depths will never be found. Beyond Guam, the course is past Hawaii and on to Southern California—a journey equivalent to more than halfway around the world.

Salisbury Township passes budget with slight tax increase
With all the heavy lifting done over the last few weeks, it took just a few seconds for the Salisbury Township Board of Commissioners on Thursday night to approve a 2013 budget that maintains the township's property tax rate at 2012 levels by a 5-0 vote.
The township's operating budget includes a $11.8 million spending plan for all funds, which is about a 4.3 percent increase over the 2012 budget. The total operating and non-operating expenditures for the new year's budget are set at $13.1 million. The township expects to realize about $5.8 million in revenues, which represents a 3.4 decrease from 2012 projections. Expenditures in the 2013 budget total about $6 million, which is a 4.1 percent increase from the year before. The final millage rate is 1.42, according to township Manager Randy Soriano.
But the budget wasn't the only fiscal issue on Thursday night's agenda.
The board awarded a contract to Weiss Construction in the amount of $70,311 for security upgrades to the municipal building. The vote was unanimous.
"Times have changed," Soriano noted when he discussed the safety measures for the building. "We need to secure the working area."
Commissioners also voted 5-0 to award Sewer Specialty Services a contract for closed circuit TV inspection, pressure testing and grouting sanitary sewer joint work in the amount of $105,590.
And commissioners adopted a resolution setting the police pension employee contribution rate for the upcoming year at 1.54 percent.

Should "free" wireless internet be paid for by cities? Google doesn't think so, which is why the company may be America's only hope at "free" bandwidth.
But that depends on what your definition of the word "free" is. If city governments pay, taxpayers flip the bill. If Google picks up the tab, "free" means ad-supported.

As of February 1, Apple will require all new app submissions to be 'optimized for iOS 7'
Apple on Tuesday posted an announcement on its iOS Developer page stating that as of February 1, all new app submissions, and even app updates, must be built with the latest version of Xcode 5. What's more, all new apps and app updates must be optimized for iOS 7.
So if you're a developer beholden to the look and feel of iOS 6, it's probably a good time to reluctantly embrace iOS 7 if you want to see your app gain entry into the App Store. I don't imagine, though, that this will be much of an issue given that many developers have enthusiastically adjusted the look and feel of their apps to more closely mirror iOS 7's design aesthetic.
The developer posting was accompanied by a link to Apple's revamped iOS Human Interface Guidelines in case anyone is curious as to what iOS 7 optimization entails.

Ajji, Dachshund
Ajji, a resident of St. Barths, is a long-time GVR patient who first came to see us, paralyzed in his hind end, in July 2011 for intensive boarding rehab after having back surgery for a herniated disc. After four weeks of rehab, it was time for Ajji to go home. Much more mobile, Ajji was still incapable of walking on land unassisted, so he went home with a cart. He came back to GVR in October 2011 for a few days, and although able to move his hind legs in the underwater treadmill, he was still knuckling. At home, his "Mom" continued to work him in his cart on a land treadmill to get his hind legs moving. He returned to GVR in March 2012 for "boot camp." What was to have been four weeks turned into seven. At the end of that time, Ajji graduated, going home ambulating on his own. In late May, he came back to say "hi," and we are pleased to report that Ajji, after diligently practicing his rehab exercises at home, is now completely mobile! (link to video of Ajji: http://tinyurl.com/c5tf9ov) (Ajji pictured here, early on, with his "wheels" with GVR's Lisa Bedenbaugh.)

Chancer, Golden Retriever
While good health is important to all of our animal companions, it is especially critical in the life of a service dog. Our son's certified Behavioral Assistance Dog, Chancer, became a beloved client of GVR shortly after having a successful stem cell transplant in August of 2011. Chancer, a blonde golden retriever, at only 5 years of age was experiencing premature Hip Dysplasia and arthritis. To ensure that we maximized the benefits of the stem cell transplant, our veterinarian recommended a vigorous course of Rehab.
We had attended GVR's Open House soon after it opened as we had been invited through a mutual friend who was also a professional dog trainer. Not only was I blown away by the facility and all it had to offer - I had an immediate sense of confidence in the staff that I met that evening. Now, almost a year later, Dr. Orenbuch 's treatment plan has increased Chancer's stamina, strengthened his muscles and alleviated severe spinal pain due to years of Chancer's hip impairment.
Chancer has been on a robust routine of therapies; Acupuncture, Chiropractic Adjustment, Laser Therapy, Hydrotherapy, Land Rehab, herbal supplements and massage. I know. As a human, I can only imagine the benefits of any of these therapies individually, let alone clustered and focused on one incredibly much-needed canine. The therapies while helpful by their nature have been augmented by the superior oversight, experience and expertise of Dr. Orenbuch.
Since most of us love our animal companions almost as much as our own children – we invest in many ways in their well-being. As Chancer's mom, I love coming to GVR, because it has made such a difference in Chancer's enthusiasm as a working dog. In order to support my son, Chancer needs to feel strong and healthy. As Chancer's handler, my confidence in GVR remains steady and my respect for their work ethic is always reinforced with every visit, every service we receive. I feel fortunate to consider the staff to be part of our extended Chancer family.

Harley, Dachshund
In February 2011, Harley was in much pain and was diagnosed with a ruptured disc
in his spine. Our vet gave him pain pills, along with steroids, for about 2 months. During this time, Harley got worse, and began to drag his back legs and still in pain. Finally, the vet said he had done all he could do, and it was down to 2 choices; (1) $6000-$8000 back surgery, or (2) put him down. (continue reading)
Pemba, Mixed Breed Dog
Pemba suffered a hiking accident February 2011 which damaged her spine and caused her to become partially paralyzed in both hind legs.
Pemba spent the first 24 hours in veterinary ICU. I was told that Pemba's recovery was dependent on keeping her crated and immobile for the next six weeks, allowing her out only to use the bathroom. I relayed this advice to a board-certified human surgeon; he was surprised and said it was counter to the latest medical discoveries in human science, which showed that many spinal injuries recovered most successfully when physical therapy was started as soon as possible.
Ten days after Pemba's injury I brought her to Dr. Orenbuch at Georgia Veterinary Rehabilitation. (continue reading)
Brenna, Cat
My sincere thank you for working with my little miracle kitty, Brenna, these past few weeks, and helping her with her pain and limited mobility! Brenna was my rescue kitty from CEVC, who fell from our second story to our first at approximately 7 weeks of age. Ever since, she's cried out often when picked up, and would never jump up on counters and tables like our other kitty until she worked with Dr. Orenbuch. I've seen HUGE improvement, just in two visits. I highly recommend Dr. Orenbuch to anyone whose beloved furry baby is in any pain, is slowing with age, has experienced a surgery or an accident, etc. I recommended her to my primary care vet, and would glad to be a reference for anyone considering care options for their beloved pets. Thank you again, so much, for all you've done for Brenn in such a short time. I know it wasn't that involved of a treatment for you, but I honestly believe that your help is resulting in a MUCH improved life, with increased mobility and agility, and far less pain, for this little feline I have grown to love so much. Thank you again, Dr. Orenbuch!

I brought Sam, my seven year old Yorkshire Terrier, to see Dr. Orenbuch in the spring of 2010. He'd injured his neck, and despite having surgery to repair a ruptured disc, he wasn't making much progress. We continued to increase his pain medications as advised, but still Sam could not lift his head up and had a hard time using his front left leg. He had also been confined to a crate for about 3-4 months. Finally, I was ready to put Sam to sleep because I could not watch him suffer any more (it had been six months). His regular vet, Dr. Bard, told us there's "one more thing you need to try" and that is when I found Dr. Evelyn.
Dr. Evelyn adjusted him, used laser acupuncture, and gave me some stretches and strengthening exercises to do with Sam every day.
After Dr. Evelyn saw Sam once a week for three weeks in a row, I saw a HUGE difference in him. He was a new dog! Now we see her once a month, and Sam is back to doing some of his favorite things like chasing squirrels, birds, and chipmunks in the backyard, and swimming at the lake. He was unable to do these things even just a few months ago. He is also off all of his pain medications, after having been taking 8-10 a day.

Willow, Finn and Tara, Collies
I brought my three Collies to see Dr. Orenbuch after relocating to the Atlanta area from Pennsylvania. Thank goodness I found her! I tend to "break" my dogs.
All three of my dogs have active lives, competing in agility, obedience, and rally and enjoying sports such as chasing squirrels. All three receive regular chiropractic adjustments. Willow, who is five years old, also receives acupuncture for incontinence which showed up after she was spayed three years ago. Tara, who has had bi-lateral severe groin pulls, is six years old, and although retired from agility, still tends to re-injure herself occasionally, so she, too, benefits from acupuncture treatments when needed. Even Finn, a retired conformation dog, who can be unsure of strangers due to an unfortunate experience he had as a pup, welcomes Dr. Evelyn's healing hands.

Aberdeen, Dachshund
One day Aberdeen seemed to have an issue walking, had a hard time getting in and out from the step up to our house, squealing in pain when we tried to help her. After 2-3 weeks, it wasn't getting better – it was getting worse. I finally knew we had to go to the vet.
One of her vertebrae was putting pressure on her spinal column, causing pain and worse: neurological damage. If she started to drag her legs behind her, it was a sign that (supposedly) only a $5,000+ surgery would allow her to walk again. I was sent home with pain medication
On a Monday evening we went for Aberdeen's first visit at GVR with Dr. Orenbuch. I had to carry her in because she could not even pull her back end behind her. Her back legs would not function at all, and she looked so pitiful trying to pull herself up and then flopping over on her side. She could not stand, walk or even hold up her back end when I propped her up on her back legs….I'm in tears again just thinking about my poor dog. I truly believed there was nothing to be done.
That day she got an electro-acupuncture treatment and I was given some exercises to do with her at home, as well as a cold laser kit and some Chinese herbs.
Folks – I'm not kidding. Tuesday she rested. Wednesday she walked. Wobbly – but on her own back legs, she walked around, didn't need help to go potty, she walked to her food – she was WALKING. Between a Wednesday visit and a visit the following Monday, she had twice daily the cold laser for 15 minutes, the Chinese herbs, an acupuncture treatment, and 2 hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill) sessions.
Today, not 2 weeks after she could not even stand, Aberdeen is TROTTING with her tail wagging away. She'll probably never stop being wobbly, and she'll have a difficult time with steps and stairs, but she's walking, trotting, and by all appearances, nearly as good as ever.
I can't believe the improvement only 3 visits has made on my Aberdeen
I cannot recommend Dr. Orenbuch or the GA Vet Rehab Center highly enough. Not only is the environment comfortable and contemporary (no 80′s fluorescent-lit dingy vet waiting room), each staff member was several notches above the standard veterinary office. Dr. Orenbuch is forthright and empathetic, encouraging and calming both for her patients and their owners. I'm impressed by the facility, the level of professionalism and their obvious skill and acumen in not only treating, but successfully improving the health of their patients. Thank you, Dr. Orenbuch and staff!!

Milo & Peony, Pugs
In the fall of 2010, I received a disheartening diagnosis that my 11 year old Pug, Milo, would need spinal surgery on the heels of a femoral head ostectomy he was still recovering from. This additional surgery was to deal with a bulging disc that was causing instability in his hindquarters and fecal incontinence. Given his age and the fact that he had just recently had major surgery, I was not inclined to put him through more and decided to face the inevitable that I would soon have to put my "Little Man" down. Before doing that, however, I decided to reach out for alternative care and was lucky enough to find Dr. Orenbuch. She treated Milo with acupuncture, cold laser and a chiropractic adjustment and left me with a list of exercises and stretches for him. Within one short week, there was noticeable improvement so we kept on with treatment, even adding chiropractic adjustments for my second Pug, Peony, to the equation. Now we see Dr. Evelyn once monthly. Milo, who could almost not walk several months ago, is climbing stairs, playing toy tug-of-war with me and Peony and running in our backyard, his energy level belying his years.
I still have my little friends with me and they are now aged 12 and 11. They are happy, active and healthy because of Dr. Evelyn and I will always be truly grateful for the love, attention and care she gives them. But most of all, I thank her for bringing my Milo back from the brink. You rock, Dr. Evelyn!!

K9 Ayla, German Shepherd
In 2003, I was faced with possibly retiring K9 Ayla at age seven due to a chronic neck and back injury. As a result of Dr. Orenbuch's care, K9 Ayla remained sound and continued to work as a dual purpose police dog for the Delaware Department of Corrections until her retirement in 2006 at 10 years of age. Ayla is still with me - almost 13 years old!
K9 Ayla is a once in a lifetime dog. She was trained in narcotics detection, tracking and patrol work, as well as being certified as a FEMA Type 1 search and rescue dog with Virginia Task Force One, Fairfax County, Virginia. K9 Ayla and Marilyn have been deployed to the earthquakes in Tou-lin, Taiwan, Duzce, Turkey, and the 911 disaster at the Pentagon.
K9 Ayla is the recipient of the Trooper Award, a medal for heroism and bravery, given by the ASPCA.
Marilyn Arwe
*Marilyn Arwe has been a professional dog trainer for over 25 years. She has enjoyed competing in agility, obedience, and USPCA trials. Currently she is the K9 Instructor for the Delaware Department of Corrections. K9 Ayla was a patient of Dr. Orenbuch's at her practice in Philadelphia, Pa.
*Bailey, Jack Russell Terrier
IFCS Overall World Champion, Three time IFCS World Champion, USDAA National Steeplechase Champion, Three time JRTCA National Agility Champion
Mike has been involved with Agility since 1998 and has been competing with teammate Bailey since 2000. Well known in North America, Japan and Europe, Bailey has racked up an impressive list of accomplishments:
· '08 IFCS Overall and Three Time World Champion
· '08 USDAA Life Time Achievement - Platinum
· Three time IFCS World Team Member ('04, '06, '08)

· '03 USDAA National Steeplechase Champion
Mike and Bailey have been featured in magazines, newspaper and TV shows. Most recently, they were on The 10! Show in Philadelphia.
"Evelyn is GREAT! Evelyn always places the interest of her clients (dogs) ahead of her own. As a critical component of our conditioning program, my dogs see Evelyn on a regular basis as I have found they perform at a much higher level when they feel their best. I continue to recommend Evelyn to anyone who wants their teammate to feel their best! As the old saying goes, My goal in life is to be the person my dog thinks I am, and Evelyn helps me be my dogs hero when I can help her feel her best."

Pleasures of Cockaigne: a Story of Quality Gaps, Market Structure and Demand for Grading Services
AbstractThis paper explores under what circumstances high-quality producers would not voluntarily submit grading when low-quality firms would readily do sa, and under what conditions high-quality firms would have a lesser proportion if their ouput graded than low-quality counterparts. It also investigates how market structure affects the decision to engage in grading. in thsi regard, the paper establishes how the prices of graded as well as ungraded output varies with the amount of output graded and the extent to which market structure determines whether the amounts graded by individual firms will yield an industry outcome, which is optimal from a social welfare point of view.

No lie, I'd cry. DAT VOICE. DAT CHARM.
Jealous. I can't even remember who spoke out our commencement.
I actually like this even more than the Neil Gaiman speech somehow.
Ahhhhh so jealous. And I had been pronouncing it Goosh-er in my head, whoops. Thanks, Ira! Also, I pronounced your first...
Yep. I was right there in the second row because my last name starts with a D. I yell "WHICH ONE?" after he says he lost...
Okay, now I hate my commencement speaker.
I got to see this at my charming sister's graduation. :) (see above.)

TEAMS: Oklahoma City Thunder, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Atlanta Hawks
The Oklahoma City Thunder are fighting for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. Kevin Durant is currently leading the NBA in scoring, but his top priority is getting back to the NBA Finals and erasing the feeling of falling a few games short of an NBA championship. Carmelo Anthony is hot on his heels for the scoring crown, but Durant doesn't seem concerned about it. "He can have it," Durant told Jeff Caplan of NBA.com on Thursday. "I mean the stuff he's doing right now, every time he touches the ball it looks like it's going to go in. He's having a nice run right now and his confidence is high. I'm sure he's going to take over. If it happens, cool." Durant is averaging 28.3 points per game and Anthony is averaging 28.1 and closing the gap. Melo put up 50 points against the Miami Heat on Tuesday and 40 against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, so it's safe to say he's riding a hot hand. With eight games remaining and only a 0.2-point differential, there is certainly plenty of time f

This picture of me made it into the e-Mook, I got the biggest surprise when I saw someone's photo of the Oceania page today! (that's my classic awkward photo face x_x)
I wasn't going to bother but I've ordered the e-Mook now :)
They used it without asking? How bizarre D:
They asked!
They called for submissions a few months back in an email out to people who had shopped with them from what I could tell. They will have received a truckload though and they never let me (or from what I can tell anyone else whose pictures are in there) know so that's why I was surprised :)

Woolpert enjoys a rich history rooted in a forward-thinking approach that has enabled us to grow and be part of milestone projects throughout the past 100 years.
Early 1900s
Charlton Putnam, a prominent surveyor and landscape engineer from Rhode Island, joined forces with Edward Deeds, Charles Kettering and John H. Patterson to develop the landscape, architecture and housing markets in Dayton, Ohio. Deeds and Kettering invented the self-starting automobile ignition system, and Patterson founded NCR Corp.
The great Dayton flood of 1913 forced survivors to move to higher ground and initiated the greatest private public-works effort up to that time, the Miami Conservancy District. Putnam was active in the flood-relief effort, and the firm did surveying and engineering for the new housing developments that followed. In 1916, Ralph L. Woolpert, a civil engineer from Cedarville, Ohio, joined Putnam and his staff: one draftsman and a three-man survey crew.
The firm grew, and in 1930 became known as Putnam & Woolpert. In 1935, Ralph Woolpert took over leadership responsibilities while Charlton Putnam helped to form the Dayton Housing Authority.
The Great Depression brought bleak times for the company, but in 1938, business improved with work for Rural Electric Cooperatives under the Rural Electrification Administration (REA). Woolpert hired electrification experts to handle the additional REA work in Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New York and Ohio.
During the late 1930s and early 1940s, Woolpert recognized the power in partnerships that adapt to ever-changing needs–a philosophy still in place today. In 1942 the company, known then as the Ralph L. Woolpert Company, became involved in significant wartime engineering and surveying work at Wright Field, Wilmington Air Force Base and the Dayton Municipal Airport.
After World War II, the company began working with housing developers to support America's baby boom. Families focused on finding homes, and the new suburbs provided plenty of opportunities for work. Woolpert expanded its environmental and sanitary engineering services to meet the high demand, and in 1955, Charles Abramovitz joined the firm to pioneer the development of the growing communities surrounding Dayton.
As the communities around Dayton rapidly developed, so did the company's list of expanding services. Herbert W. Starick, former Dayton City Manager, and Mark Lawner joined the firm to develop city and regional planning capabilities in the late 1960s. In 1969, Wallace Smith joined the firm to guide the development of photogrammetry, the art of making precision mapping from aerial photography.
Ralph Woolpert worked up until his death in 1970 at age 74. His namesake 100-employee company continued expanding with new services, including airport planning and design, traffic engineering, park planning and design, environmental studies, landscape architecture, environmental engineering and environmental sciences. To meet growing demands, the firm opened new offices in Ohio and Alabama, and in 1979, the firm changed its name to Woolpert Consultants.
Woolpert launched services in interactive computer graphics, data management and architecture while expanding its aviation capabilities. Developing geographic information systems (GIS), a computer-based method of geographic information management, became a service of national prominence. Department of Defense work also became a major area of expertise, and the firm engaged in projects at multiple military installations. The firm won new clients across the United States and overseas and opened seven new offices.
Throughout the 1990s, Woolpert continued to grow, establishing new offices and expanding existing ones in Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, South Carolina and Virginia. Woolpert also founded a subsidiary, Woolpert International, Inc. Local and wide area networks linked more than 700 employees in 23 cities nationwide. The firm adopted the name Woolpert LLP in 1997 to reflect its status as a limited liability partnership and moved into Engineering News-Record's list of top 100 design firms.
The firm developed and implemented a new strategic plan that restructured the company around service lines. Throughout the decade, more than 75 percent of the firm's ownership changed hands without a hitch, in large part because of Ralph Woolpert's original model of partnership. In an effort to separate ownership from management, the partnership created the chairman and chief operating officer positions, replacing the need for a managing partner.
Woolpert, focused on positioning and entrepreneurship, continued to expand nationwide, with offices opening in Colorado, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, California and Hawaii. The firm began using the market to dictate its office presence, and the result has been overall expansion and equalized growth between offices. Woolpert's partnership grew to 25 partners, the largest partnership in the firm's history.
In 2005, Woolpert became incorporated and changed its name to Woolpert, Inc. Approximately 20 percent of its employees are now shareholders. The firm continued to grow, achieving record sales in 2007. In 2008, the firm acquired three firms in the Orlando, FL, area: TEK Science, a storm water specialty firm; Rockett and Associates, a civil engineering and surveying firm; and Miller, Einhouse Rymer & Boyd (MER&B), a landscape architecture, civil engineering and planning firm.
In 2010, Woolpert once again developed and implemented a strategic plan that restructured the company around three primary service lines: design, infrastructure management and geospatial. Woolpert continues to rank in Engineering News-Record's list of top 100 design firms. The company now has more than 650 employees in more than 20 offices nationwide.

Flora of North America North of Mexico Volume 28, Bryophyta, Part 2, has been sent to Oxford University Press for printing. This marks the 17th volume to be published in a 30-volume set for the Flora of North America series. The volume has 702 pages covering 48 families, 206 genera, and 698 species. With the publication of this volume, the treatment of mosses for the flora area is complete with a total of 1402 species in 333 genera classified in 81 families. Of the 1402 species, 273 (19.5%) are endemic to the flora area, and 36 are globally at risk of extinction.
The work on Volume 28 was coordinated by lead editor Richard Zander; all of the 366 illustrations were drawn by Patricia Eckel. Ariel Buback was the Technical Editor for Volume 28. Dr. James Zarucchi, as Editorial Director, and Heidi Schmidt, Managing Editor, oversaw all aspects of production. More than 40 authors wrote treatments for the volume.
Vol. 27 and 28 (the mosses) gather together and present in a unified fashion information from the past 50 years of bryological study. Major advances have occurred in understanding the Western moss flora, particularly the discovery of new and previously missed species in California and the Pacific coastal areas of the Northwest of North America. These significant western species are preferentially illustrated in the FNA.

What: "Irrigated Wet Meadows, Livestock, and Ducks - Debunking the Bias" presented by Chris Colson with Ducks Unlimited
Flood-irrigated wet meadows on private working lands in the Snake River Plain provide the critical staging resources for migrating waterbirds and replaces our lost floodplain functions. The maintenance of this agricultural practice is critical to continental waterbird populations and basic human values and services often taken for granted..
The Idaho Native Plant Society (INPS) is soliciting proposals for its Education, Research, and Inventory Grant (ERIG) program. Grants of up to $1,000 will be awarded in 2014 to support projects that contribute to the appreciation, conservation, or knowledge of Idaho�s native flora or vegetation. The purpose of the ERIG program is to stimulate and lend support to educational, research, and conservation activities that promote an appreciation for native plants and plant communities in Idaho. The ERIG committee encourages you to submit a proposal if you have a project that may qualify.
The deadline for submitting a proposal is March 31, 2014.

The Art of YokStreet Art // Tuesday, 10 May 2011
Yok is an artist, illustrator, and publisher based in Australia who paints humorous, plump-headed characters on the streets. We first became aware of Yok through his tastefully designed quarterly publication known as King Brown Magazine. The following photo is in collaboration with artist Creepy at the infamous 5-pointz wall in Long Island. Here are a few examples of Yok's playful, fun-loving street antics.

Sixteen superb supercell thunderstorm time lapse videos
After going to the Plains this spring I've managed to spend many waking hours thinking about going back. It's the tornado itself that gets much of the glory, but the supercell thunderstorm is perhaps one of nature's finest masterpieces. The videos I've compiled here, after hours of sorting through examples on the Web, are all about structure. You won't find any tornadoes in the bunch — there is a funnel cloud or two though! Even without the raw violence of a twister, the enormous power of these storms in evident throughout. Each is beautiful in its own way.
- – - – - – - – -
July 13, 2009 AMAZING Supercell Time Lapse from hillnado57.
Having made our "catch" of the chase 2011 in the area this was taken, the terrain has a special place in my heart. SD/NE is perhaps some of the prettiest of the Plains. First, there's lots of bubbling and boiling clouds as the storm matures, and by 1:30 in we're off to the races on superb structure. Multiple striations and a big fat inflow tail. After 2:45 it's just insane inflow. What a storm…
- – - – - – - – -
Montana Supercell Thunderstorm from Cameron Redwine.
This is from a pretty good distance (or at least stays that way), and if it were not for the camera shakiness it might be near perfect. The first two-thirds feature un-obscured structure before lower clouds fill in toward the viewer into the end. Still, it's pretty awesome. The music? Not as sure.
- – - – - – - – -
March 30, '08 Cordell, OK Supercell Time lapse from jmchaser.
This looks like a pretty elevated (high cloud base) supercell, as even the lowering is way above the ground. The risk of a tornado might have been somewhat minimal compared to storm with clouds closer to ground, but at times it sure looks like the rain shaft tries to rotate to the surface! Undoubtedly, if this was a higher quality video it would be several fold more awesome than it already is.
- – - – - – - – -
The Storm from Chad Cowan.
This is just pure awesome. I may even argue it's cooler than seeing a tornado! Ridiculous storm motion all over the place and a high quality camera. Mmmm.
- – - – - – - – -
Timelapse d'une Supercellule by lacaille71
I watched this one more than once before including it here. Not sure I love the angle and the camera quality is not amazing either. But, it's somewhat unique of the group in that it stays steady on an approaching storm from afar. Particularly in the second half the motion of the whole cloud mass is pretty incredible.
- – - – - – - – -
Super Cell Time Lapse near Council Grove, KS from Z S K.
I remember watching this one on radar from home after returning from the Plains. It was one of those "extreme instability" beasts. This view is from a good distance, and the contrast of a setting sun provides a spectacular look at the multi-contured structure of the storm.
- – - – - – - – -
Timelapse of LP Supercell (7-14-11) in Northwestern SD from TheScoof.
This one starts slow but as you get past the one minute mark it picks up considerably. If only the horizon was straight and the camera did not get occasionally jostled throughout. About 1:30 is when it gets really sweet. If you're going to "luck out" with high based activity, you want to hope it's like this.
- – - – - – - – -
Saskatchewan Supercell Thunderstorm Timelapse from dannybrown126.
The contrast is poor but it's short enough you don't have to think about it long and the second half has some truly stellar structure! Barber pole!
- – - – - – - – -
Supercell Thunderstorms on 35mm from StormStock.
This one is a compilation. I particularly like the first minute as shot from a distance — a beautiful stacked mothership, and as it gets closer you can see the rapid rise of clouds venting into the atmosphere. Shortly after closeups, there's another stunning supercell shot of an approach from a distance. Perhaps the most stunning storm of the group pops up around minute three. I could do without all the timestamps and watermarks but this is quality stuff, so I can understand the need…
- – - – - – - – -
Texas Supercell Time Lapse and Hailstorm from hillnado57.
What a pretty and developing (note the increased inflow as it moves toward the camera) supercell. It looks rather high-based and not terribly threatening, but it's still rather lovely with an apparent hail core also more visible as the storm progresses (seen after the first minute of time-lapse).
- – - – - – - – -
Supercell Crazy by Stephen Locke from Stephen Locke on Vimeo.
Another compilation sequence. It first features several nice storms approaching the viewer. There's a bit much editing at times but it's not enough to make it unworthy of sticking it through to minute one when a gorgeous distant sunset supercell seemingly spins in place while spitting out lightning bolts all around. The videographer then gives several views of the storm and it's magical display.
- – - – - – - – -
September 1, 2010 Barton County, KS supercell time lapse from StormChase.TV on Vimeo.
This one is short and it's not particularly stunning photography. But the motion and structure is brilliant, particularly during the first sets of scenes.
- – - – - – - – -
Clinton OK Mothership Supercell 7-12-2010 from Casey Zandbergen on Vimeo.
This supercell has a classic appearance as it nears the viewer. Initially it is bathed in a sweet evening light and after the first minute it features some pretty quality close up views. Don't wander off at the 2 minute mark because there's a pretty neat view of the rounded edge bringing pitch black above yet sunny skies on the horizon.
- – - – - – - – -
supercell time lapse from rdtonyy.
This storm has beautiful structure and it's unique in the group as to the direction it's rotating (clockwise). Maybe "down under"? I wish it was a bit longer…
- – - – - – - – -
Tornadic Supercell Timelapse Video – Nickerson, Kansas from UltimateChase.
A nice striated and compact mothership heading right toward the camera from the distance! In addition to the motion of the storm itself, there are vorticities visible along the cloud base and attendant wall cloud. Another that's shorter than I wished for, but too good not to include!
- – - – - – - – -
July 20 Kansas Tornado Warned Supercell Time Lapse from hillnado57.
Roger Hill has more entries into this post than anyone else and for good reason! This is a beauty showing the life cycle of a tornado warned supercell in Kansas. It's got it all: from close to wide views and some super structure, especially in the second half.

Right before the presidential election, my husband went to speak at Rose's second grade class. He did a Power Point presentation about how the election process works and explained how his company, The Associated Press, covers the election. His photo ended up on the front page of the school's Web site.
I was pretty shocked to see it. There are literally hundreds of moms helping at the school on a regular basis who never get their photos featured on the front page of the school's Web site. I honestly wondered if the news wasn't that this journalist came to talk to the kids, but that a dad came to talk to the kids.
When I attended the room mom meeting at the beginning of the school year I don't remember seeing a single man in that packed cafeteria. We do have one dad that always helps in Walsh's class. He is a chef and super creative, and the kids adore having him! But he's the only one I see at the school on a regular basis.

Ask Me About My Major! (Government!!!!)
So looking at some of my fellow bloggers, I noticed that questions were being asked about majors. I just wanted to remind you all that I am a government major and I adore it. I am also a history minor.
So, if you are thinking at all about government or history or have any inkling that you might enjoy pre-law things. feel free to send me your questions. I would love to talk to you. If you have no idea what you want yet, that's totally acceptable, even typical. Also, if you can't find someone to talk to about your major, I might be able to connect you.
Yay for two posts a day! I'll try to make it a habit

The 2008-2013 class of the FPMT Masters Program have "just completed their final exams with the intention to enter retreat in 2014," Olga Planken, Basic Program and Masters Program coordinator for FPMT Education Services, reported to Mandala this week.
Mandala recently featured an interview with five students from the 2008-2013 cohort before their exams had taken place, answering questions about the challenges and benefits of completing the extensive program and what they were looking forward to in the future:
What do you hope to gain from the culminating one-year retreat?
Marina: I really hope to be able to integrate some of the things we've learned during the Masters Program into myself, to gain deeper understanding of the Dharma and of myself, and to set the basis to stabilize and start transforming my mind at a deeper level, a task that I hope will not only be done during the retreat but will continue for the rest of my life. As I see it, it's the only way to effectively be of benefit to others.
Yumi: I hope to be able to develop some inner qualities that can be really used to help others.
Ven. Tiziana: I feel the need now to have more time to reflect on what I have been studying. Reflection and meditation are essential to gain experience of what we have learned. I am feeling very fortunate to have this rare opportunity.
Jacob: The opportunity to really be in a perfect environment for meditation, and the chance to try and really become this Dharma that we've been studying.
Hans: The integration at a deeper level of some of the subjects we've studied, and an increased wish to do long retreats.
Masters Program students are now making preparations for their one-year retreat. As part of the preparations, seven of the students have created a fundraising campaign to make it possible for them to be supported during their retreat. So far they have raised €37,800 (US$50,800).
After Masters Program students successfully complete their retreat, they graduate from the program and are then eligible to apply to become FPMT registered teachers. As reported in "The Need for Qualified Teachers" (Mandala April-June 2013), FPMT registered teachers serve as much-needed instructors at FPMT centers around the world, offering authentic Dharma instruction and helping fulfill the wishes of Lama Zopa Rinpoche for education within FPMT. Several resident teachers in FPMT centers today were trained in the FPMT Masters Program's first cohort, including Don Handrick, Thubten Norbu Ling, US; Sixte Vinçotte, Institut Vajra Yogini, France; Emily Hsu, Gyalwa Gyatso Buddhist Center, US; and Wai Cheong Kok, Vajrayana Institute, Australia.
Masters Program graduates also serve in various other roles to support FPMT education programs, such as teaching assistants, tutors, and coordinators for Masters and Basic Programs, both residential and online, and several teach Discovering Buddhism.
To learn more about the fundraising campaign to finance Masters Program students on their one-year retreats, visit their webpage: Support the rEvolution. You can also connect with the students on their Facebook page.
Mandala brings you news of Lama Zopa Rinpoche and of activities, teachings and events from over 160 FPMT centers, projects and services around the globe. If you like what you read on Mandala, consider becoming a Friend of FPMT, which supports our work.
