This model is just devastatingly beautiful, she is a great poser and she really comes "alive" in her pictures. This kind of artistry can only come from a collaboration of great model and great photographer. I am in awe and I can not express how much I appreciate what I've just seen.

Now that I have taken a closer look, I can see why most people vote this sweet woman as their number one choice. although Yanna is my numero uno, by far, I now see what Viktoria has to offer. She is supernova hot.

Wonderful very erotic set. Viktoria offer us all what we want and like to see of her magnificent body, still enlighted by a perfect setting and perfect lighting. By the way, what means 'frencheuse'? I'm French, but never heard that word before.

There are models /supermodels/and Viktoria, a comment from someone who shoots 365 days a year worked with the worst and best this is a prime example of how to get it right, she cant do a bad pose and PH has the know how to shoot her,work with her, and get the crops right. In my opinion her work is some of the best i have seen ever..Steve from Sydney Australia

I have to say Petter that this is some of your best work yet. A nice long set of this raven haired beauty, crystal clear photos featuring her taking everything off. I much prefer your studio sets where the model ends up totally nude from head to toe. I felt Viktorias previous set was ruined by the fact that you had her leave her boots on, but you made up for that in this set, i love how your have her sexily remove her cute boots to reveal her very pretty bare feet! She has stunning bare feet, rivaling any of your models. I also have to comment on Photo 101, this is one of my favorite poses of all time.I love how her shapely legs are up in the air showcasing the soles of her stunning bare feet!!! I only wish this exact same pose was featured in every one of your photo sets!!! All told a beautiful model with a great body posed perfectly. Keep up the great work and i'll remain a happy member!! Thanks a bunch.

Successful professionals
speak with confidence and charisma—do you?
Find out the secrets of dynamic speakers who get results
(even if you don't think of yourself as a "natural")
Does this sound familiar?
- You're confident and smart, but you shy away from stepping into the spotlight.
- Your work demands that you speak out and take the stage—and the mere thought makes your palms sweat (or your mind go blank).
- You long to have a magnetic presence that gets results… but you feel like you are saying the same thing as everyone else.
If you can relate, you're in good company. Many professionals and entrepreneurs need to be great at what they do AND be communicators who can masterfully get their point across to different audiences.
But often, there's a gap between where you are and where you want to be.
The good news is; if you're looking to craft and deliver your next talk, toast, pitch, or presentation — and you want to stand out as clear, confident, and charismatic – you're in the right place.
Because I teach entrepreneurs and service professionals how to:
✔ Craft a clear, powerful message that will engage, delight, and influence your audience
✔ Have a magnetic presence that draws people to you the moment you step into a room
✔ Use non-verbal cues to communicate confidence and charisma even before you open your mouth
✔ Follow simple patterns to give a memorable talk that moves people to act or buy
✔ Use speaking as a marketing strategy to grow your business and win great clients in person and online
With an audience one or 1000, successful professionals use simple secrets to get amazing results from every speaking opportunity that comes their way. Find out what they are—and learn how to massively improve the response YOU get from your talks. I promise you—the results will be worth it … and the process is painless. (And even fun!)
Here's to your success,
Ready to get started? I invite you to schedule a complimentary Confidence, Charisma & Cash session with me now. Tell me why you want to be a better speaker. You'll get at least one good idea for how to do it. And we'll see if we have a fit to help you reach your goals with grace and ease!
How to Give Your Voice Some Va-Voom
Long ago and far away, as a student at Valparaiso University, I took a theology course with the Dean of the Chapel. I don't remember his name – we hardly ever used it. We just called him "The Voice of God."
He seemed to have the voice that God would speak in – deep, rich, resonant, authoritative.
Fact is, most people put more trust in a person with a lower voice. And that's true for both men and women. An example of the research: in 40 years' worth of presidential elections, the candidate with the lower voice won the popular vote every time.
Let's say you don't have that big, booming voice. (For instance, maybe you're a woman.) Can you be a charismatic speaker anyway? Here are some steps to take.
Slow down already. For most of us, our pitch rises with our pace. So take it easy … slow yourself down and let your voice be more settled.
Give it a rest. People who pause while they're speaking convey confidence and command. That might mean pausing for a beat at the end of a sentence … or even between phrases, where there would be a comma if you were writing instead of speaking.
And while you're pausing, remember to breathe. You'll look – and feel! – more comfortable if you breathe all the way into your belly. Your voice will be more fully supported. And don't be a mouth-breather. You'll want to inhale and exhale through your nose, to avoid sounding tense and breathless. (It's healthier anyway – your nose is designed to filter the air you take in.)
Put a period on it. You hear people often? talking about something they're supposed to know about? their business, for example? And saying everything as if it's a question instead of a statement?
If you're one of those people, it's undermining your credibility. And you need to stop it. Now.
In American English, when the intonation goes up at the end of a sentence, listeners process what they've heard as a question. Even if that wasn't your intention. When the intonation stays even, it's a statement. And when it drops at the end of a sentence, we hear that as a command.
If you want to sound more confident and in-charge, lower your intonation at the end of a sentence. Or even at those mid-sentence pauses … just to let your strong presence sink in.
Let us hear you smile. We don't just see the smile on your face; it comes across in your voice too. And it conveys warmth and friendliness and likability. Some people find it helps to have a mirror near their desk, as a reminder to smile when they answer the phone.
The wrap-up. Whether you're looking for buy-in on a project at work, more customers or clients, or a new job … you'll have more influence when you incorporate these suggestions and speak with more charisma.

Don Black- Kanab Tour Guide
Don has lived in Kanab for the last fifteen years, but has always considered southwestern Utah his home. Don's grandparents homesteaded on the Arizona Strip in the early part of the 20th century, where his father was born. Don inherited their love of the country. " I have a severe and incurable case of the red sand syndrome. If I'm away from my beloved red rocks for too long I start to go into withdrawal and must get back home". Don has been driving the backcountry roads all over the region for over forty years and is still finding new places to explore. He also enjoys hiking and camping. Don spends much of his spare time doing volunteer work on BLM lands in Hog Canyon near Kanab so that people will be able to use the trails to see our beautiful area. Don is a natural fit for the job.
Bret Benge-Kanab Tour Guide
Bret has spent more than 20 years hiking the trails, driving the backroads and fishing the rivers of the Colorado Plateau. His love of exploration has given him a knowledge of the the mountains and deserts of the Western United States and Central and South America. After a few years living in Mexico, Bret has returned to Southern Utah, where his heart resides and is now guiding full time for Dreamland Safari Tours.
"I have never met a dirt road I didn't love".
Jeff Frey- Kanab Tour Guide
Raised in Wisconsin, Jeff has lived the past 40 years in the Four Corners states with half that time in southern Utah. Hiking and photographing the Colorado Plateau are passions, along with his interests in archeology and history of the Southwest. Since retiring from a 30 year nursing career, he has worked as a park ranger at Pipe Spring NM, an interpretive specialist at the Navajo Bridge near Lee's Ferry, AZ, a reporter for the Southern Utah News, and as the president of the Kanab Red Pueblo Chapter of the Old Spanish Trail Association.

Kurt Robinson- Kanab Adventure Guide
Born and raised in Kanab, Kurt grew up around tour guides. Some of the first guides to reveal Kanab's bounty of ruins, slot canyons, and limitless scenery to the visiting public were his Grandfather Merill and Uncle Grant, owners of Robinson Ranch Tours. Even some of the old classic western movies were staged on Robinson family land, the old sets later making nostalgic tour stops. As a teen Kurt continued learning the guide trade with family at Sanderson's River Expeditions, a pioneering rafting company in the Grand Canyon. As a young man he took on his own adventures as Assistant Boatman for Grand Canyon Expeditions out of Kanab. Kurt has also gained several years of off-road touring experience with various outfits over the years. With most of his life spent outdoors, Kurt has developed a keen eye for photography. You can see his Flickr stream here. His pictures are also featured on local websites and in Kanab exhibits. Kurt joined Dreamland Safari Tours in 2012. We are very lucky to have this Kanab Tour Guide born-to-be.

Note to self:
Hurry up and write that extremely long post about your second practical at the remote school. You have been putting it off for 3 months and the details are getting a little hazy.
Whoops sorry everyone.
Dear Young Teacher Down the Hall, I saw you as you rushed passed me in the lunch room. Urgent. In a hurry to catch a bite before the final bell would ring calling all the students back inside. I no…
Good read. I needed this after this week.
Don't forget, we do this because we care. I feel like I need that reminder sometimes. Not because I stopped caring, but because I get so caught up in all the worry and stress and panic that it makes me lose focus on it in ways I don't want it to.
But to be honest, I don't remember half the lessons I've planned and ran this past fall, yet I will never forget one of my students thanking me after class one day for staying after school and helping them with an essay that got them into college.
I probably need to print this article and read it weekly.
Wow, so relevant.
Hurry up and write that extremely long post about your second practical at the remote school. You have been putting it off for 3 months and the details are getting a little hazy.
Whoops sorry everyone.
there's nothing that says "australia's weather is messed up" quite like the fact that our fire danger system doesnt just stop at "extreme"
and that the second lowest setting is 'high'
(via wildandwild)
As someone who finished their student teaching last fall, and is starting their first year as a lead teacher at the elementary level, and is currently feeling very overwhelmed and lost/confused, here is some advice for you:
1) Ask a lot of questions, even the dumb ones. If you don't know what an acronym stands for, ask! If you don't know how to handle a situation with a difficult student, ask! If you are unsure how a student's IEP is being followed, ask! If you aren't sure how to word something to a parent, ask! Also ask why teachers chose to have the structures and procedures that they do, like the organizational systems, the chairs, tables rather than desks, the decorative aspects of the classroom. I wish I had asked a lot more questions, especially those concerning balancing personal life/work. Also ask where they buy the things that they have! That will save you a lot of time from spending hours going to store to store the weekend before you start teaching. Also figure out how they were able to adhere the things they have, like if they're using velcro, magnetic tape, mounting tap, to hang up posters, attach name tags, etc.
2) Take criticism in stride. Don't feel like you're being too harshly criticized or feel like your mentor is unfairly judging your teaching. And don't get pouty when they try to offer you constructive feedback; your mentor is there to support you to become a better teacher! You will appreciate that they were honest and upfront with you, rather than telling you what you wanted to hear.
3) You're supposed to be bad at teaching in the beginning. You've never done it before, and no one is good at teaching when they first get started. The sooner you come to terms with how bad you are, the sooner you can get better at it. Reflection is the key to getting better at teaching.
4) Take a multi-vitamin, eat lunch, and get a lot of rest. If this is your first time being around kids for an extended period of time, you will get sick. a lot. I was sick every other week.
5) Talk to other staff in your school, and appreciate the community/support that you have, especially among your classmates. If you are hired at a school like mine, you will miss gripe sessions with people who are in similar situations and who understand what it is like to be a new teacher who has little idea of what they are doing. And if you are student teaching with other student teachers, it is very nice to have them as a support system, but you will learn more if you talk to actual in-service teachers.
6) Photocopy and take pictures of everything your mentor teacher is doing, especially of routines that are in place. I didn't realize that when I would be starting as a new teacher, that I would be starting from scratch. I very wrongly assumed that I would remember the first day of school games, activities, and procedures we went over, but I didn't, and documenting these things would have saved me a lot of time googling.
7) Ask to observe teachers other than your co-op, especially in other grade levels. There will be talented, veteran teachers in your school who have excellent control of their classroom and plan engaging lessons for their students, both of which you will want to emulate. It is hard to mimic what you haven't gotten a chance to see. There is also the very likely possibility that you will get hired in a grade level different from the one you student taught in. For example, in third grade, we never did morning meetings. Now that I'm in first, I have a limited idea of how to make my morning meetings and calendar time flow in an engaging way for my students, or what a first grade classroom should feel like.
8) Say yes to everything, teaching-wise. Don't feel like you aren't ready to take over lead teaching for every subject, and then not teach everything. As a full-time teacher, you will be teaching everything, and it will be hard for you to adjust to that if you haven't had that experience. When I was student teaching, I taught 90% of the time, but I wish I had gotten a chance to teach the rest of that 10%, because that is where my weaknesses are.
9) Take part in administrative things that are separate from the actual teaching. Grade papers/quizzes, input grades, write letters home, correspond with parents, sit in on I&RS and IEP meetings…while these things aren't typically associated with the responsibilities of a lead teacher, you will need to know how to do these things when you finally do become a teacher, and you will be glad that you are ready for them when the time comes.
10) I really ran out of steam during the last one, so just enjoy it! Get to know your kids. They are adorable, and you will miss them. They are the first students that you will ever really have, and let them know how much you care about them, too.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
FWIW Iced tea was considered a likely cause/contributor of my kidney stone, too. I'd been drinking big Arizonas daily for at least a year beforehand. I don't drink it anymore and haven't had another one... it's been about 10 years now... could be mere coincidence. But considering that mine *didn't pass* (horrific pain, made oxycontin seem like a joke - that was when I knew the ER was my destiny) I was willing to change any behavior. Downgrade away peeps, obv off topic. ;)

A 16-year-old Wairarapa UCOL student is in a critical condition in Wellington Hospital after she was thrown from a car that rolled near Masterton on Thursday.
The teenager was an unrestrained passenger in the car that rolled on State Highway 2 on the southern approach to the Opaki overbridge north of Masterton shortly after 3pm on Thursday, according to Nick Bohm, Wellington district communications manager.
Julian Burn, Lifeflight Trust Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew member, said the rescue chopper landed at the nearby Opaki Racecourse and was on site for more than half an hour.
Mr Burn said the teen was flown to Wellington Hospital emergency department with life-threatening injuries. It is understood she had received serious head and spinal injuries.
A hospital spokesman said yesterday the teenager was in a critical condition in the intensive care unit.
Mr Bohm said the 19 year-old driver of the car, who is also a Wairarapa UCOL student, received minor injuries.
She was taken by ambulance to Wairarapa Hospital but had been since discharged, he said.
The stretch of highway where the crash occurred had been blocked to traffic for about four hours on Thursday while a serious crash unit team examined the crash scene.

Randy Leck is a homeowner that is looking to slash his energy bills and Columbia Gas is helping by providing an energy audit. Columbia Gas communications manager, Chris Kozak says, "We kind of look at this as teaching someone how to fish. We are going to show you ways to save on your energy bill. So you don't have a lack of funds during high heating bill season."
An energy audit is an investigation set up to find out where each homeowner is losing energy. The first task is setting up a blower door. This creates a pressure difference on the house that is equivalent to a windy winter day. This will speed up the drafts in the house and make them easier to identify.
The next task on the list is finding inefficient appliances such as furnaces and water heaters. Then the crew installs a programmable thermostat and an energy savings shower head before they leave. The final report shows that Leck's family can save nearly 60 dollars a month if he makes a few improvements.
Kozak, "all of the work that we are going to recommend today is going to have a discount of about 60-70%." Those discounts would apply to sealing up air leaks in the crawl space and adding nearly 1200 square feet of insulation. Both of these improvements would pay for themselves in just about 1 year.
Leck, "I am hoping to see a nice savings in energy bills. 4 kids, 2 of them teenagers, you have showers everyday, lights left on, refrigerator door left open. So it would be nice to save a little bit of money."
Columbia gas customers can get an energy audit set up by contacting the Columbia Gas. The audits cost $50 unless your family income is below 80 percent of the area's average income then the audit costs $20. If you are within 200% of the federal poverty level the program is free.

I'm not much of a coffee drinker. When I do drink it, I prefer Decaffeinated coffee.
But I've never had iced coffee. Is it really good? And is it better than regular hot coffee? Just curious...Thanks.

Why do you want to drink coffee if you don't like it? LOL!! Iced coffee is good, but generally it's sweet and probably not low cal. It's yummy, but only good if it's sweet, IMO.

Iced black coffee would probably be better as there would be more water (ice) therefore dehydrate less.

I think it is easier to drink cold dont know why. Probably because there is less actual coffee while more milk and flavorings.
In high school I wasnt much of a coffee drinker. My friend told me her way to ease into coffee drinking.
From easiest to drink to black.
Fraps (blended coffee drinks)
Iced Lattes (with flavors)
Hot lattes
Iced coffee (lots of sugar and cream)
Hot coffee (lots of sugar and cream)
Slowly ease of the sugar and cream to black
Right now I drink a mug of coffee with a scoop or 1/2 packet of hot cocoa mix. I use the sugar free to cut the calories. It adds flavor and sweetness while its quick.

Yeah,I kind of agree with an earlier poster. i loove hot coffee and can drink it with very little sweetener, but iced coffee seems to need more sugar and cream to be yummy.

I brew my coffee the night before and keep it in my fridge. I think iced, or cold, coffee tastes better. Another bonus to drinking iced coffee is that your body burns more calories when you drink cold beverages than when you drink warm ones!

Coffee ADDICT here, and depends on if its a home brewed ice coffee, or from a chain coffee place.
at home I dont see much difference, hot or cold its all the same.
at a coffee place like Duncan Donut or Starbucks, or my fave Coffee Beanery
they double brew it so each pot is two filters full of coffee grounds in the ice coffee to make it extra strong
so you dont lose flavor once its poured over ice and it is a very good caffeine buzz for sure haha
I once had like 4- 20 oz DD ice coffees in one day and by the nights end felt like my heart was gonna pound out of my chest
needless to say no sleep for me that night.... Love both myself, dont care if its good for me or bad I am not about to give up my coffee.

I would think iced coffee was better because of the ice in it puts hydration in the coffee. I'll try it next time I'm at the coffeehouse in my town. Thanks you guys!

I didn't like coffee, but started drinking it for the caffeine, and I think iced coffee is easier to drink than hot coffee. I put skim milk in both, but need less sweetener when I drink iced coffee.

Both provide healthy doses of chlorogenic acid. Also, great study issued out of Harvard yesterday indicates men who drink six or more cups of coffee a day experienced a significant reduction in prostate cancer as well as a reduction in all types of cancer.

I like either. It depends on the time of day for me. Either way, I drink my coffee with Splenda and Skim Milk or unsweetened almond milk. If i use a creamer, its usually sugar free creamer. Saves calories and is still yummy!!

I was craving Starbucks yeaterday and checked their nutritional information before I went. The drink I got (Grande Iced Caramel Machiato with skim milk) was only 190 calories...about 20 less than the hot version, and much tastier in my opinion!

Thanks For The Pep Talk2 Reviews
I also wasn't too thrilled that my brother, knowing how I felt about this whole ordeal, threw a party and invited them. I started at them inconspicuously from across the room, sipping on my coke and vodka.
Mikey walked over to me, with a girl in tow. First the party, and now he tries to set me up with a girl . What was his problem? "Gerard, this is Alex," he introduced.
I mumbled my reply. Not moving my gaze.
"I thought maybe you two could get to know each other," he said.
"Fuck off," I said, pushing past them. No regard for that poor girls feelings whatsoever. I stepped outside. Some one followed me.
"Gerard," her soft voice floated over to me, I couldn't help but turn around. There she stood, holding Franks jacket around her shoulders, a cigarette between her fingers.
"Let me get that for you." I said, rushing up to her and holding out a lighter.
"Thanks," she said, chuckling a bit. "What's been wrong with you lately? You've been so...out of it."
I lit my own smoke, and mumbled something, I don't even know what.
She grabbed my hand, unaware of the great affect it had on me. "You can tell me, Gee," She was the only one I could stand hearing that nickname from.
I sighed, "It's nothing Evan, don't worry about it."
"I am worried," her blues eyes were just shining tonight, brighter than I've ever seen them.
I shook my head. "It's okay," I was already feeling better that I could talk to her by myself.
"I should go back in," she said, squeezing my hand. She took one last drag of her cigarette. "You know how much you mean to me right Gee?"
I didn't... but I nodded anyway and forced a smile.
"We'll talk later okay?" she said, smiling. After she disappeared into the noisy house. I sat down on the cold concrete steps and stared at the stars scattered across the dark October sky. Someone stepped outside, letting the screen door slam behind them, breaking my concentration with space.
"Why can't you just let it go?" my brother said, sitting next to me on the steps.
I shook my head. "I won't until she's with me." I said, sullenly.
"Give it up Gerard she's with Frank. You have to get that through your head." he said. Always the grounded one. Always so realistic.
I gave him a look, "Thank you so much for the pep talk Mikey. Bye now," I spat.
"I hate it when you drink Gerard." he said before he walked in.
After I finished my cigarette I walked straight to the bathroom, drink still in hand. I downed the whole thing in one gulp and stared at my pathetic reflection in the mirror. I hated what I had become, all over a girl. I left the bathroom an found an empty bedroom. I flopped down on the bed, wishing Evan was next to me.

8 Stocks Under $10 Moving Higher
Rare Elements Resources
Rare Elements Resources (REE) engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the U.S. and Canada. It focuses on gold and rare-earth-elements. This stock is trading up 6.9% to $6.44 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $6.00-$6.6452-Week Range: $3.08-$16.55 Volume: 3.2 million Three-Month Average Volume: 2.2 million From a technical perspective, REE is surging higher today and moving back above its 50-day moving average of $6.22 with monster volume. Traders should now watch for a major breakout to trigger if REE can manage to take out some near-term overhead resistance at $6.62 to $7.01 (its 200-day) with high volume. Look for volume on a move above those levels that's near or well above 2,152,070 shares. If we get that action soon, look for REE to make a run at $8 very quickly. Traders should continue to look for long biased trades as long as REE is trending above its 50-day, and if that major breakout triggers soon.

Altera Corp Stock Downgraded (ALTR)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- ALTR's revenue growth has slightly outpaced the industry average of 2.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 3.4%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Net operating cash flow has slightly increased to $130.76 million or 3.19% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, ALTERA CORP has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -71.05%.
- Despite currently having a low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.42, it is higher than that of the industry average, inferring that management of debt levels may need to be evaluated further. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 4.94 is very high and demonstrates very strong liquidity.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry. The net income has decreased by 18.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $120.81 million to $98.93 million.
- The company's current return on equity has slightly decreased from the same quarter one year prior. This implies a minor weakness in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, ALTERA CORP's return on equity is below that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.

Tech at Night: Obama is dangerously wrong on Cybersecurity; T-Mobile to buy MetroPCS for the Spectrum
Everyone else is talking about the debate, but I'm going to touch on cybersecurity tonight. There was a great overview of what the issues and stakes really are on Monday's Coffee and Markets. Francis Cianfrocca doesn't post as much as he used to at RedState – he, not government, is building his business – but he sure knows what he's talking about when it comes to government, military, and critical infrastructure cybersecurity. And he and I are in agreement that the Obama plan is wrong.
Kay Bailey Hutchison is also saying that a new Senate report on the topic also makes the case. "For months now I've been saying that it would be a mistake for the Administration to give the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) control over our nation's cybersecurity. This report affirms my position, and I urge the Administration to take the report into account and not issue an Executive Order that significantly expands DHS's role in cybersecurity."Read More »

Nigeria In Last Eight
Everton man skippers Super Eagles in Cup of Nations.
Related Links
Everton striker Yakubu was named captain of Nigeria in the African Cup of Nations win over Mozambique.
The Super Eagles needed at least a draw against The Mambas to progress to the knockout stages and indeed took all three points, winning 3-0.
Yak took over the armband from Toffees team-mate, Joseph Yobo who missed out with a hamstring problem.
The Blues striker lasted 67 minutes before being replaced by former Newcastle United forward, Obafemi Martins. But he was on the pitch long enough to set up the second of Peter Odemwingie's two goals.
Martins scored the third with four minutes left as Shaibu Amodu's side cruised into the last eight and will now play the winners of Group D Zambia in the quarter finals on Monday.

Care for God's Creation is not a new component of Catholic identity. It is as old as Genesis, and must therefore be integral to the mission, identity and everyday life of Catholic colleges and universities.
~ Most Reverend William S. Skylstad*
Catholic Scholars Conference on Assessing Pope Emeritus Benedict's Ecological Vision: Book Published
Overview for Colleges and Universities: becoming a Catholic Climate Covenant Partner by taking the St. Francis Pledge

Nationwide Education Project for Campuses
Take the The St. Francis Pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor with College Toolkit
Many Catholic colleges and universities are actively working to reduce their carbon emissions and energy consumption, integrate sustainability into their curricula, and foster ecological awareness across their campus communities. In order to link these sustainability efforts with what it means to be a Catholic institution, the Catholic Climate Covenant and our seven partners offer:
Sustainability and Catholic Higher Education: A Toolkit for Mission Integration
This Toolkit is organized around the five components of the St. Francis Pledge to Care for Creation and the Poor , and each section examines a different dimension of the Pledge by:
• Identifying who on campus can effectively address each dimension.
• Offering suggestions for how each element might be implemented on campus.
• Suggesting ways the institution can go "beyond the campus" into the community.
• View list of national organization TOOLKIT PARTNERS here.
In less than a year, twelve Catholic colleges and universities have become Catholic Climate Covenant Partners by institutionally endorsing the St. Francis Pledge and implementing the activities and ideas in the Toolkit. They are:
• Saint Joseph's College of Indiana
• St. John's University (Collegeville, MN)
• Saint Mary's College of California
Catholic Climate Covenant Partnership offers schools the unique opportunity to publicly affirm their commitment to Catholic mission-based sustainability, stand with the more than 40 other national Catholic organizations who support the Covenant initiative, and benefit from the resources and experiences of other Partner schools. To learn more and register your college/university as a Partner, contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Film Screening about Climate Change on College Campuses
The Catholic Climate Covenant and our partners in higher education are pleased to announce an important climate change education opportunity perfectly designed for the college campus. Join hundreds of other Catholic colleges, universities and campus ministry offices and host a screening of the Academy Award-nominated film Sun Come Up (see the trailer here) which depicts some of the world's first "climate refugees," inhabitants of the Carteret Islands just north of Bougainville, Papua New Guinea.
Accompanying the film is a step-by-step Education Kit with Discussion Guide to help spur discussion before and after the film, and action steps students, faculty and administration can take to respond to the unfolding climate crisis from a Catholic perspective.

• The Association of Franciscan Colleges and Universities
• The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities
• The Lasallian Association of College and University Presidents

NY House Tour: Keith and Brent Make Over a Small Piece of Jersey City
Name: Keith and Brent
Location: Jersey City, New Jersey
Size: 550 square feet studio
Favorite Element: Kitchen counter
Keith and Brent aren't afraid to go the extra mile to build a real home. They decided to take on the challenge of a mildly renovated condo in an historic building in Jersey City. When looking for a place to live, they realized that Jersey City was cheaper and closer to their jobs in Manhattan, than Brooklyn. They were looking for an old place, so the fact that it's an 1888 structure with some quirks sealed the deal.
Both Keith and Brent have woodworking skills in their blood. They each grew up learning the trade from fathers who had cabinetry businesses. As a result they have a deep-rooted respect for fine craftsmanship and things that have aged well. Before moving here in January of this year, they lived in Oregon in a 1924 bungalow that they renovated from top to bottom.
This job was smaller, in comparison, and took only three solid months of coming home every day after work to demo, design, construct and furnish. The apartment was in pretty good shape to begin with thanks to a more recent renovation, but Keith and Brent were intent on making the space unique. They personalized it by using vintage pieces, one-of-a-kind finds, diverse surface materials and by creating a lot of the cabinets and shelving themselves.
In order to satisfy the condo association's designated work/noise hours, Brent cut the wood for cabinets and shelving on his table saw on the weekends. During the week they would do all the quiet stuff like tiling, painting and using screws instead of nails to assemble the cabinetry. Without a car, they became very innovative with a shopping cart and a nearby lumber store. If they needed more detailed cuts made, Keith would drag pieces of wood onto the path train and bring them to his friend's woodshop in a basement in the West Village. There, Tim and Larry, artists who make their money doing custom cabinetry, would make this arduous process slightly less arduous.
When it came to lessons learned, Keith says, "we expected the walls to all have studs at regular intervals, but they didn't, and everything we thought would be quick and easy never was." Keith and Brent made it through the trying moments and emerged from the other side with flying colors!

Great job. Quirky, vintage-yet-modern, thoughtful without seeming overwrought. The only choice I question is the mantle. It seems like one of those good ideas that doesn't work out in practice. It's further compromised by the fact that you have these three dark, box-shaped objects (along with the stove and fridge) all lined up together. How about a fab cupboard piece with a hutch, something that would provide a transition from kitchen to dining complete with additional counter space when needed for preparation or entertaining.
really love the counter - how is that done?
Love this place. So many fresh ideas. Great, great job!!
Oh, the Fairy Liquid!
I'm not really a fan of the kitchen. I think it looks old. (Yes, vintage is old, so they go what they wanted.) But if I were to buy that place, I don't know if I could live with that countertop, or the cabinet hinges. Not to mention the tile. Is that red grout? And why not rearrange the kitchen? Rascal is right, the fridge, stove and mantelpiece don't work. I'm all for saving the mantel, but it seems in the way, and isn't that special. You guys did a nice job with the built-ins though, and I especially like the bookshelf/room divider. Cool legs!
Looks Amazing! Good work. Portland misses you and so do I.
Oh I LOVE the countertop in the kitchen, the shelf dividing the bedroom from the living room, and the air plant. Lots of great color, lovely!
It's so cute!
I like the pseudo-old kitchen, but then, I like genuinely old kitchens, too. I would have gone with white appliances so that they didn't compete with the mantle, but I always want white appliances, so just slap me and give me white appliances.
Love-love-love your sense of humor about pattern.
i love the white see-through bookshelf.
and the colors overall are very soothing and fun.
i'd have to agree. not too crazy about that pho-fireplace.
I love the kitchen- I dislike how new kitchens seem so impersonal and boring. I love people pushing there own personal style instead of Home Depot's. It's great to not think of a house as a commodity ( a.k.a. resale value) but instead as a reflection of yourself.
Great Job!
I love this kitchen, especially the linoleum counter. great!
Another-another mary! aaaah!
Not always my taste, but still cute and quirky. You guys really accomplished a lot...
I love the linoleum counter too. Did you have to put something over it so it wouldn't scratch? Where did you find the linoleum? I've always wanted to redo my kitchen floor with it, but it's so expensive to buy huge pieces, so this is an excellent way to get it in there on the (relatively) cheap.
I wonder though, if you might put up a room divider or partial wall at the end of the kitchen to separate the fireplace from the appliances. just a thought
i think the room divider/shelving is just beautiful. and while not my taste, i actually think the "wrought-iron" "country" hardware in the kitchen and on the desk really looks great - especially, in the case of the former, with the wall and floor tile.
i'm still reacting badly to open kitchen storage, however. but again, that's me.
Oh man, my hat is really off to Keith and Brent. Their good design eyes and their love of great craftsmanship really shows -- you can actually feel it in the pictures. I love the way the design feels slightly comfortingly retro but is, in aggregate, fresh with personal touches. WAY cool. Thumbs way, way up! Come to think of it, I think part of the reason it actually feels more retro than it may actually be is BECAUSE of the great craftsmanship since a lot of old stuff was actually made better than some new stuff. That's why I, like Wende, often like old kitchens, not specifically because they're old since I'm kind of a funkyminimalistmodernist myself, but because they were often well-designed and well-made.
Again, great job! :)
I love this, it feels like a home! And I certainly wouldn't mid waxing that counter...
I'm jealous. I really like the place for such a small apartment.
i love the sink too. I was reading an energy efficiency site today and the fridge should not be near a heated entity such as a stove as it makes the fridge work harder to keep its innards cold.
Man. I love it. I really love the look and feel of the countertop in the kitchen. Is this your city home on the way to a bigger place out in the woods? But then, I see it's in Jersey City! What is going on in this world? No way! That place should be in manhattan in a 'hood you just can't live without -which should be why you go to so much trouble for such tininess - anything but paying for such a small condo in Jersey - surely the price wasn't astronomical. Everyone should move back out to the country. Flip it and get a bigger condo - you have so much creativity!
(Coming from a reformed NYorker living in the Boston 'burbs...finally have enough room. It's MAGICAL.)
Like lots of folks, I like it conceptually, but I'm not wild about the execution of the finishes. I really like the bookshelf divider.
I really like that you used that tile for your kitchen floor....I've had that tile in the last 2 places I lived in, circa 1900 and 1938. Is it easy for you to keep clean? Mine gets dingy looking fast. I'm afraid to use soft scrub or comet because of the grout lines. Any ideas?
Unless you are not much big fans of cooking but having the cooker away from a counter and the sink is not helpful at all. I lived in an apartment with similar layout.
Nice job boys!
I have always looked at that wrought iron hardware and admired it for its authentic characteristics, but had wondered how it could be applied without appearing too cutesy - you definitely got the right balance. I love the kitchen because its not the usual home-depot look, but rather something unique, well planned and well designed. Its fresh, original and personal. Good job in taking a cookie cutter apartment and making it something really special. Also the room divider is nice because it divides the space clearly without being visually too heavy.
this looks very cozy, and i really like the 'country' kitchen effect. the legs on the cabinet unit make it look a wee bit more modern, which gives it a more eclcectic vintage look than your typical chickens and ducks themed 'country kitchen' a la that guy on Trading Spaces.
and boo on whoever griped about resale value. i am so godamn sick and tired of people buying what's supposed to be a home and making all their decor choices based on the notion that someday they might sell it. in my opinion (and i know this isn't the prevailing one), buying a house and thinking about selling it from day 1 is like getting married and planning for your someday-divorce from day 1. if you want to buy property for investment purposes, buy something and renovate it for that purpose. don't limit the possibilities of your home because of a ridiculous thing like resale value.
also, i have to say that seeing this kind of makes me feel like living in jersey wouldn't be that bad.
i heart this crib, guys! great job. i love parts of jersey city, there's a section along the water facing manhattan, what's the name of it? it's lovely over there, almost a boston or uws feel to it... so pretty. is that where this place is located? i love historical property, and i love the nature inspired mid century vibe you have going on - and the tiled kitchen is great. you could replace those brown folding chairs with the swanky clear acrylic ones from target, also folding, i think they're $40 each on target.com and they'd look great in your space.
anyway, nice job, i really love it.
mad props to jersey city too. i love the stanley theatre, i'm a theatre buff and love old theatres, i toured that building for free after it was renovated, oh it's lovely. and the science museum, it's great - you have the best science museum ever.
Just wanted to thank everybody for the nice comments. Also some great advice! To answer the counter top question: It is vintage linoleum and you lay it just like you would lay a floor, it has to be a smooth surface, we used 3\25" plywood. This is a great forum for really well thought out feedback, again, Thanks!
Keith and Brent!
YOUR WORK IS EXQUISITE. you should be on HGTV and redesign others interiors! What great use of classic/hip and craftsmanship. The wallpaper on that one sunny wall--ooh, the white shelving between bedroom and living--aah, the bathroom 50s vintage mirror, 30s lights and classic moulding--what a great twist of the unexpected. DID I MENTION the kitchen. omg, fabulous.
And the most interesting of it all is you did it yourself with quite a few barriers. Kudos to you. -Raelene and Jose
Keith and Brent ROOL!
they took a (rather hideous) blank slate and turned it into a clear reflection of their sensibilities. it not generic. it is not neutral. it is not for everyone.
I hate places that look like nothing more than glorified hotel rooms- all slick, shiny and totally devoid of any sense of place or person. K & B's home looks exactly like them- lovely, charming and absolutely original.
Keith and Brent,
The place looks AMAZING! All of your hard work paid off.
We are so glad to have you as our neighbors.
Such a pretty apartment! I love it: specifically, the wallpaper, the linoleum, the kitchen sink/cupboards. A very lovely vision, realized. The bathroom, though, doesn't live up to the rest of the place. It's as if the imagination ran out right there. Otherwise, this tour is one of the most inspiring.
Love,love,love the countertop!!! please share your resource,would love to try it in my kitchen and/or bath....
Beautifully executed and you guys obviously have some great construction talent.
I do question, though, the loss of so much counter space in the kitchen. The kitchen looks great overall, but doesn't seem very practical, or at least not if actually used for cooking very often. However, if you guys don't cook much and more often do carry-out, then I can see where it would work fine.
Something else you may want to reconsider, if it's not too late, is the location of the stove/oven right next to the refrigerator. Baking/cooking anything will warm that refrigerator right up and have its compressor running, running, running. It's just generally not a good practice to put those two appliances right next to each other.
Otherwise, good job overall.
Love the terrarium (SP!)
I really like what these guys have done - the kitchen seems so cozy, and I love the open shelves and lino counters, but I have to agree that the layout is pretty bad - I think I'd have installed an undercounter fridge with a counter over it, and built an open shelf/partition between the stove and dining area similar to what they did in the bedroom archway.
I also like what they did w/ the Bathroom, but the mirror is a bit 80's for me. I'd also like to see them enclose the shelf above the bathroom door to make a nice enclosed cabinet.
That bed is crying out for a cool headboard too - Can't wait to see what else these guys do with their place!
For my taste, the countertop linoleum, cupie doll sculptures?, slanted floor and barn door cabinets all = WTF?? The room divider on legs is gorgeous though.
Sure, a few details I'd adjust, but my impression is: stupendous job! Put me down as a big fan of your cabinets with the hasp hinges -- so much warmer than the usual safe choices.
Makes me want to live in a tiny space.
I don't care for the counter top, but overall it's cute!
Lots of hard work and nice details. The decoration part is too cutesy for me but the overall work is impressive. I have to say the bookcase room divider is a great feature, however the legs that are supporting it are too flimsy and cheapen the deal, so many other good options that won't cost too much.
To decor8 Holly:
If you happen to wander back to your posting, I saw your suggestion for new chairs "swanky clear acrylic ones from target, also folding." I am searching for a clear, acrylic folding chair and I searched the target.com website to no avail. If you can find the link to these chairs and could post it, that would be terrific.
You two do rock -- just in case it hasn't already been said. And even if it has been it's not for me to try and wax eloquent or witty -- to say I luv what you did to your place. Loverly!
OHHHHH, that bookshelf divider thing, drrrroooooollll.
I love the mid century tapered legs, and I was wondering if you guys built this piece yourself and added the legs- if so, where did you get them.
I like that it is not boring. But I think the fridge should be returned to the back kitchen wall--it looks like an afterthought and blocks light from the window.
I absolutely love the shot of the bedroom with the woods photograph above the desk. I hate the faux fireplace.
You two are incredibly clever. What a relief it is to see an original, interesting kitchen that actually reflects the owners' style. If I see another marble countertop, I'm going to vomit.
I love everything you've done. The space looks incredibly inviting and innovative. I love your mix of modern and very old looks, which does, completely work and isn't the usual combination of 2008 with 1964, but rather 1890 with 2008. Great job.
I know they'd probably hate me for saying this, but seeing what Keith & Brent have done with such a tiny space makes me regret living in a big 70s rancher in the country.
Very cute!

Yeah I've been doing alot of testing and I have to definitely say that Reckoning is now a VERY important threat related talent to choose. It used to be a pretty much useless talent pre-4.0.1 as we all know, however now threat is a tank's major concern and the extra white balance helped me out alot.
Also I read the blue post about how our Sanctuary wasn't making us crit immune when 4.0.1 first came out. Supposedly it has been fixed but who knows! I was having trouble clearing Heroic runs even with my ICC raid gear. So I guess that explains all that damage I was taking and all the dazes that were occuring.
But again I found that Imp. Judgements is pretty much a waste of 2 pts, and Reckoning took care of alot of my threat problems after I respec'd and added it. Good luck and have fun.

working group in applications of set theory
Bourgain's theorem characterizing non-Banach-Saks operators on C(K)-spaces
I will present the proof (or, at least, a detailed sketch of such) of Bourgain's theorem saying that a bounded linear
operator T: C(K) --> X fails to have the Banach-Saks property if and only it fixes (acts as an isomorphism on) some copy of C(ωω+).
The two main tools are: Alspach's theorem about equivalence between fixing a copy of C(ωω+) and the inequality
Sz(T) >= ω2 for the Szlenk index of T, and Rosenthal's dichotomy theorem about Cesaro summable sequences and spreading models
isomorphic to l1. I shall also explain the key role which is played here by C(ωω),
by recalling Schreier's proof of the fact that this space fails the Banach-Saks property.

Fragments of the paper "On isomorphisms of Banach spaces of continuous functions" (To appear in Israel J. Math)
by G. Plebanek will be presented. The paper contains new insights into the structure of the above isomorphisms
and embeddings of C(K)s.

A Banach-Stone type theorem by Cambern will be presented with the proof.
It says that if T is an ismorphism between C(K) and C(L) such that
||T||||T-1||<2, then K and L are homeomorphic.

During the next two meetings of the seminar I would like to present the relations between the Grothendieck property of Banach spaces and the Nikodym property of non-sigma-complete Boolean algebras. A Banach space X has the Grothendieck property (G) if every weak* null sequence in X* is weakly null. A Boolean algebra B has the Nikodym property (N) if every pointwise bounded sequence of finitely additive measures on B is uniformly bounded.
The plan is as follows. First, I will show what properties of Banach spaces are implied by (G) and what the most interesting examples of such spaces are. Especially, I focus on Banach spaces C(K) of continuous functions over some compact Hausdorff space K. The spaces with (G) in such a case naturally appear when K is a Stone space of a Boolean algebra with some additional property. E.g. the Grothendieck theorem states that C(K) has (G) when K is extremely disconnected, i.e. the Boolean algebra Clopen(K) of clopen subsets of K is complete. In case Clopen(K) is not complete, for C(K) to be Grothendieck we need some separation or interpolation properties of Clopen(K), e.g. Haydon's Subsequential Separation Property or Freniche's Subsequential Interpolation Property.
During the second lecture I will talk why the Nikodym property of Boolean algebras is important. I will show what separation or completeness properties of Boolean algebras cause them having (N). Finally, I plan to prove that the algebra of Jordan-measurable subsets of [0,1] has (N) but its C(K) lacks (G) (the result due to Schachermayer). This was the first example of such an algebra; now thanks to Graves and Wheeler we know more of them. However little is still known in the case of the opposite issue, i.e. whether there exists a Boolean algebra without (N) but such that its C(K) has (G) -- the only positive result in this matter is a difficult construction under CH due to Talagrand.

The scope of the seminar:
Set-theoretic combinatorial and topological methods in diverse fields of mathematics, with a special emphasis on abstract analysis like
Banach spaces, Banach algebras, C*-algebras, Here we include both the developing of such methods as
forcing, descriptive set theory, Ramsey theory as well as their concrete applications in the fields mentioned above.
Working group style: We will make efforts so that this seminar has
more a working character rather than the presentation style. This means that we encourage long digressions,
discussions, background preparations and participation of everyone. To achive this,
the duration of the seminar will not be rigidly fixed and may reach even 3 hours with the breaks.
We would like to immerse ourselves into the details of the mathematical arguments studied.

While surfing the seamy underbelly of the Web we tracked down this scoop: former Search Engine Watch news editor Barry Schwartz AKA RustyBrick of SERoundtable fame has joined Loren Baker's Search Engine Journal, according to BlackHat Planet. We were unable to reach Barry, Search Engine Watch Forums member, to confirm the reasons behind his shocking move.
We know. You're as surprised as we are.
CORRECTION: Barry Schwartz DID NOT join Search Engine Journal.
However, the evidence shown (above) clearly indicates Barry Schwartz AKA RustyBrick is the pen-name for Ann Smarty AKA SEOSmarty.
How long SEO consultant Ann Smarty has been blogging as "RustyBrick" is not yet clear.
Exclusive! CORRECTION to the CORRECTION: Ann Smarty did indeed write the referenced post and apparently Barry Schwartz (who does in fact exist) is merely taking credit for Ann's post on Search Engine Journal.
We expect a full apology in writing from CartoonBarry soon.
UPDATE after the jump.
CORRECT CORRECTION to the CORRECTION: The renowned black hat SEO publication, Black Hat Planet, SCRAPED the Search Engine Journal post incorrectly. We patiently await their correction.
Our sincere apologies to all parties. We will (upon request) remove all links to Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Roundtable and SEOSmarty.com.

@Amy Schley - why not talk about the possible issues of each side wining? I agree botting is bad and stopping the gold sellers should be a top priority, but there are other issues going on here you are glossing over. The 800 lb gorilla is the ownership of the memory space in which the game runs. can you cover the fallout of blizzard winning this and how it will effect the software industry? Or how it will effect us the end users?
I believe that had been covered in other suits prior to the Glider suit. IIRC the judge decided that having one copy of the program in RAM* didn't count as infringement because it was necessary for the use of the program (and therefore you don't need a EULA to allow you to run the software, which is why EULAs have switched from "on running this software" to "on purchasing this software").
Which is a common bloody sense decision as otherwise reading a book or listening to a song would be copyright infringement as you are making copies of the work in the neural pathways in your brain (you filthy pirate you!).
* I believe (IANAL) that MDY got pinged because it made an unauthorised derivative work by altering the RAM copy of WoW. Which is something you would need a EULA to allow you to do under most copyright regimes.
The main issue with that is that the case didn't actually make a judgment about that, and as far as I know, it could still be interpreted both ways... Which means it'll just come up in some other case where proponents of free Intellectual Property will be unpleasantly associated with someone disreputable.
Oh, and the word you intended was "affect". It's a common mistake, but the verb to change something is "to affect", while the verb to create or begin something is "to effect". These often get confused because the noun referring to a change is "an effect", and the noun referring to the physical evidence of an apparent emotional state is "an affect".

Not in law, it isn't. This is like saying "Is that stuff REALLY still stolen once I get it into my house? I mean, I OWN everything in my house."
If they can prove you had to violate a copyright to get it into your RAM, or that the act of executing it from RAM was copyright infringement, it doesn't matter if you saved for years for your little RAM stick or if you're using a public computer in a library.
"If they can prove you had to violate a copyright to get it into your RAM, or that the act of executing it from RAM was copyright infringement"
That's not the issue exactly. It's if blizzard owns the memory space that is being used, is the issue. Glider would look into the active memory space that WoW is using. By "hijacking" the memory space or by launching the WoW client within the Gliders own memory space it could examine the unencrypted data.
This process was made famous (he did not invent it) by the guy that made the Diablo Trainers back when Diablo 1 was the big kid on the block. He went by the name "enigma" ( if I remember correctly ). enigma's software invaded the memory space then read the decrypted data and modified it on the fly. This type of invasive software was one of the reasons ( one of many ) MS moved to the isolated memory style we have now ( and was already in the server software of the time ).
So the big question ( at least for software developers like me ) is if the company that owns the software and licenses it for use, owns the memory space it is using at run time. There was a lot of noise about this early on, but seems to have been swept under the rug.
I realize this might not seem like a huge issue but looking at it from the idea that it becomes legal for software makers to examine what you are looking a, when they feel like it, sort of bothers me. what will keep them from embedding code to allow remote viewing of your current work? I can see the responses now, "your not important enough to watch", which is mostly true. That's not the point. The point becomes, do you own what you are working on if the EULA ( which no one reads ) stats that they can examine your work and take ownership if they desire? Or can they sue for royalties when their software is used in the creation of a product.
I also realize most companies will not go this route but if the possibility is there then someone will use it. It seems to be human nature.
