The post-game interview from Paul Johnson.
Q: Is frustrating how you'd describe the game?
A: I would say frustrating. I thought our kids played hard Frustrated that we couldn't find something that they could do on offense a little better. Clearly, they had a better plan than we did because we couldn't get any rhythm, couldn't get much going. Never really hit any big plays after the toss play that we hit to Roddy (Jones) there in the first half and they called offsetting penalties.
We never hit any big plays. We never got anything going. We had a heck of a drive there in the second quarter to get back in the game – 90 yards – and then we give up the touchdown again. We can't overcome the special teams that we had today and that's a reflection on me. Clearly, something we're doing isn't right in about every facet. I don't know if the kickoff return got out to the 20. The kickoff (team) let [Miami] return one. The fake punt; I'll have to look at the tape. It's an automatic call if there's a certain look, if there's not that many people. So it was an automatic call. I'll have to look and see who made the play because it was [by Miami's] bench.
With an automatic call, either we made the bad automatic call or we had to turn somebody loose. I don't know which. The punt (team), we never caught one. When that thing hits the ground, you've got to get away from it.
Q: Did Zach Laskey have a problem with confidence fielding punts?
A: I think today was the worst that it's happened to him. He had one where he bobbled it and dropped it, but clearly after the first one, it looked like that he didn't want to come up and catch it. You would have to ask Zach.
Q: Will you evaluate that job this week?
A: We'll take a look at everything. You have to.
Q: What wasn't working with the offense?
A: I don't know. We just never got in sync from the interception on the first play. Like I said, I thought we had an opportunity with the drive because we ate up the second quarter and now even with all the things that have happened, if you get in at 14-7 and you get the ball first, you got a chance.
And then the other thing that was a killer was we couldn't finish the drive in the third quarter. We converted a couple plays and got down there and we couldn't convert. We could never get anything going. We had a hard time getting the ball on the perimeter. They made us play in that tackle box and we weren't very good in there. We couldn't hit any big plays. We'll have to take a look at the tape and see.
Q: The run defense played better.
A: I thought we played better against the run. We all lost. But for positives, I thought we ganged up on the run a little better and played a little better against the run.
On Tevin Washington's play:
A: We've got to find something he can do.
Q: What happened on the fumbled punt?
A: I'll have to look at the tape and see. I think he tried to pick it up on the bounce. … I don't think he fielded it cleanly. The killer was the kickoff, too. It was supposed to be a deep kick.
Q: It wasn't a squib?
A: Oh, no. There was no squib.
Q: Was Synjyn Days' fumble part of the reason he hasn't gotten playing time lately?
A: Well, we'll just have to see.
Q: Do you have a prognosis on his injury?
A: No.
Q: Is playing Vad Lee a possibility at this point?
A: Probably not.
Q: Can you see that Tevin Washington is doing anything wrong?
A: Nothing that I know that I can see that I can fix. If I did, I would fix it. It's not fair to put all this on Tevin because there's a lot of us that have got to do better. We can't overcome bad plays. Because when you're not hitting big plays … I don't know how many plays that 90-yard drive was. It had to be a slew. That's hard to do.
Q: What happened on the first play?
A: I thought we had Orwin (Smith) open. It's something we saw the film study that I thought would have a chance. I think we had a chance. We just didn't get it done.
Q: How were they giving you problems on the perimeter?
A: We can't get to the perimeter. I don't know that we have a tough time on the perimeter. They make you hand the ball off.
Q: Is it a problem of Tevin Washington missing reads?
A: I'm not sure that he's missing em. I think that what's happening is you've probably got five blocking four and the four are winning. But we'll have to look a the tape and see.

Perhaps he is learning to be humble…….maybe you KoolAid drinkers should stop worshiping CPJ as the smartest man in college football…..the TO is difficult to defend when teams cannot get enough reps in during the week……but, Tech has no weapons at B-Back or QB…..hopefully Grantham is taking notes and UGA can play containment.

Said it before – Tech just isn't as good a team as we all hoped this year. Hate to agree with Bradley, but it's just so. Ds are too big and fast for Tech's O, Tech's D is too small for oponents' O and Johnson seems incapable of attracting anyone who can kick or catch a kick – either that, or he's so besotted with his O, he doesn't feel the need to spend time, coaching or money on what is about 20% of the game.
I note the trolls are already out – they gotta get up early on Sunday to get the fry oil hot for my lunch.
October 23rd, 2011
7:59 am
There sure were a lot of "I don't Know" and "I'm not sure" statements there. I know he has to look at the film for details but he sounds as lost as our offense. The defense had a better than usual game but let's face it a huge part of that was Harris' terrible. It will be a looooong season from here if someone doesn't step up big time.
October 23rd, 2011
8:08 am
The QB at times throws ten feet too high and soon after throws short….so if you average it….seems just right.LOL
Will the punt catcher ever gain any confidence? Doubtful. Sad.
Hopefully they have a short memory and will play Clemson like we all thought they would/could.

Another great game, SMALL PAUL.
Maybe next year you can play more than one real team in the first half of the season.
SMALL PAUL can really coach against high school teams, but when playing average college teams, he comes up so, so SMALL.
That's why we now call him SMALL PAUL!

Oh yeah, I was giving y'all Duke for one more win, but even that's looking 50/50 now.

Never thought we'd see a Paul Johnson team this impotent on offense, losing games despite the defense playing well. Has Johnson's triple option offense been figured out? Find out at: http://gtsportstalk.com

We were picked to finish 4th, we have lost at Miami the past two tries, we ARE A YOUNG TEAM! if I hear one more moron talk about "how the offense is figures out" I will scream. If that were the case then this would have happened about 20 years ago and we would never win another game. You either win or lose, obvious fact. I think I just hate trolls and would like to use Paul's advice and punch one in the face for being stupid, OK, now to go to Church and repent, haha.

The Canes fans were chanting "over rated" and they hit the bullseye with that. We just don't look good at all. This game was not competitive, not fun to watch.
October 23rd, 2011
8:35 am
We have NO confidence and no spark. This team is down and I'm not sure Johnson knows what to do to help. He's obviously not spending all his time on the offense!
In order to be competitive, we have to be focused and in synch and we are neither. We knew coming into this season that we are young and our cush schedule was definilely not a reality check. However, the past few games have been reality checks and reality looks sad.
I sincerely hope somehow this team pulls it together. The Clemson game is going to be total agony to watch……
October 23rd, 2011
8:39 am
I'm all commented out for this game – talk to you next Sunday after we get our ass whipped by Clemson again for the second year in a row. After a while – the anticipation of a great season – or even the anticipation of having a chance to win against another FBS program seems distant at this point. Maybe the players and coaches don't think the season is over – but for this fan who purchases season tickets year after year – to be rewarded with poor performance from palyers and coachs alike against equal or lessor opponents is in excusable. I'm tired of this. This has to be all on the coaching staff. If the defense – which has looked so bad over the past several years – turn it around (whch they mostly did with the exception of the passes over the middle), how can an offense that basically was the reason we won the ACC almost 4 years ago – all of a sudden over the last two games – forget the basics of the system – forget where and how to block? Tech has traditionally had difficulty putting fans in the seats because they field a poor team that plays – most of the time – without consistantcy and without emotion. I thought we had our man in Coach Johnson and at this point – I still do. However, next year will be # 5 for him and it's time to produce a winner.
October 23rd, 2011
8:40 am
This game was very difficult to watch as we were getting our rear ends handed to us physically!! I just never understand why Tech can't attract and recruit bigger and better athletes. And please Georgia fans, if you really are one, go home…… and leave these blogs to people that really care about Tech or have something constructive to say. I never blog but for the 1990 season, I have never seen much overall talent at Tech and I don't understand why….
October 23rd, 2011
8:46 am
If you think we are getting our rear ends knock around wait until the next 2 weeks, Clemson and Va. Tech. It is going to be embrassing. Why are all the comments by CPJ just like the one before. I think he writes this the week before. If he can't see the problems then why is he coaching. This is what a coach is suppose to do, guide them first and then help them to excel. Has he done this yet. NOO NONONONONONO
October 23rd, 2011
8:54 am
Let Days play even if he is not really the answer. I would rather lose with Days than keep watching Tevin.
October 23rd, 2011
9:12 am
This is on Tevin.
He's not a consistent pass threat.
He doesn't have the speed to pull Nesbitt-Houdini moves, so he's gotta make the DBs think twice in other ways- and for five games that was Hus throwing. Not anymore.
The D has played good enough for us to win the past 2 games.
The worst part hasn't been losing- it's been watching Tevin torpedo his own confidence, I feel bad for the kid.
October 23rd, 2011
9:19 am
Already hear tech fans talking about the next great QB that will lead you to the promised land. Tech was never that good this year. Playing bad teams or high schools makes can make anyone look good. Welcome back to reality again. Duke is the only hope you have left of winning another game.
October 23rd, 2011
9:21 am
4 bad performances in a row, we won two, just barely. We will get our butts kicked by worst coach in ACC next week. What does that say about Johnson?
The program peaked in 2009 with Chan's recruits. I don't see anything in the pipeline (Vad Lee will not return punts, kick the ball or play defensive line) to make me believe Tech will be a contender in the future with the current coaching staff.
Drad, please do not extend Johnson's contract!! Let this experiment play out for a few more years then we can go back to a more conventional program and possibly get back to the O'Leary days before I am gone.
October 23rd, 2011
9:23 am
I heard CPJ on the radio this week expressing his disregard for kickers. His disregard of the kicking game as a whole cost Tech this week. I never understood why folks were so quick to annoint CPJ a genius and I'm more convinced now he's just a one trick – blow hard – pony.
October 23rd, 2011
9:25 am
@ Hayseed…Don't blame Tevin, blame CPJ for running the high school offense that no QB who can throw the ball will want to play for. Blame CPJ for only throwing the ball in OBVIOUS passing situations like 3rd and very long. Richt isn't the only coach in Georgia that should be on the hot seat. I guess you think CPJ is smarter than all other coaches at major football programs since Tech is the only program in the top 50 running the triple option exclusively.
October 23rd, 2011
9:27 am
Reading between the lines – CPJ is saying it will take years to fix this mess. He won't dare play Vad Lee until next year. So next year his excuse will be, "Well, we are trying to break in a new Freshman quarterback. We've got to give him some time."

Who really wins here if CPJ gets fired and they have to pay him MILLIONS to leave?…. Sounds like a good strategy from CPJ…
October 23rd, 2011
9:30 am
@ Andrew…and whose fault is this? CPJ…come on people…just say it…it is time to put pressure on Tech…he needs to go…this is the best his silly offense will do.
October 23rd, 2011
9:32 am
@ Who Wins??? THE FANS WIN…Bring in a young exciting coach who wants to build a program and make a name for himself. It can be done…just look around the country. Clemson's coach for example was a young coordinator just a few years ago.
October 23rd, 2011

October 23rd, 2011
9:39 am
What's the difference between 6 Weeks ago and today? Tevin Washington was executing. Today he is scared, second guessing himself, and not punishing the defenses who make him keep the ball…time for days, he'd be a nightmare for defenses with the ball in his hands…
October 23rd, 2011
9:39 am
We started the season looking like the 2008 and 2009 teams. Now we look like the 2010 team. What happened? We didn't play anybody. The ACC schedule is weak enough but when you throw in 3 lousy out of conference games and win it is easy to get a distorted sense of who you are. If we continue to stink and have a lousy schedule we will struggle more and more to get people to show up as well as know what we have. Let's get another SEC team like Auburn early let's play a west coast team like UGA did and let's get real early. Winning is an issue but worthy competition is a bigger issue for me when asked to pay more and more for tickets. Rather lose to Boise then beat W Carolina.
October 23rd, 2011
9:41 am
It doesn't seem like you've watched much football, so I'll make it real simple for you: if you're not effective throwing the ball it's real tough to win, regardless if the system. That's down to the QB.
October 23rd, 2011
9:42 am
QB TW appears to be playing in slow-motion. He runs and makes decisions in slow motion and looks totally confused. Days is horrible, he can't hold on to the ball and that's why we haven't seen much of him this year. And, the truth is, if we don't hit on a few passes and our B-back doesn't step it up we can't beat anyone else but Duke.
October 23rd, 2011
9:47 am
It seems that Ga Southern is the only decent football team in the state.
October 23rd, 2011
9:58 am
This game, college football, is a real roller coaster ride. Can you imagine how the Oklahoma fan base is feeling this morning? I'm sure they are on the ledge ready to commit suicide. As a life long Tech fan, the one thing I have learned is there is no explaining why a team can play so well one week and then stink up the joint the next. It's a game of emotion, momentum and a great deal of luck. Sometimes all that is going your way and sometimes it is all going against you. The problem a lot of fans have is they try to apply logic to a game that is many times totally illogical. The only I can control is my love for the school and the football program. So that is what I focus on. Whether we upset a top 10 team or lose to the Citadel, it really never sways my love of the game or my Yellow Jackets. I would not try to over analyze what is going on here. I assure that no one is more invested in winning than Coach Johnson, the coaching staff and the players. That put a lot more on the line than anybody on this blog. In any event, you never know how things will turn out so my advice is just to continue to support our guys and hope for improvement next week. Maybe we will play inspired and the Tigers will wet the bed. You never know what will happen when toe meets leather.
Go Jackets!

TW was the third string qb, and would have been the second string qb if Jaybo hadn't transferred. Its a shame that he is now the starting qb. He's doing the best his ability allows. As the old Brooklyn Dodgers used to say, "wait til next year."
October 23rd, 2011
10:09 am
Dang, what's happening here?. Dadgumit, I wouldn't have had this "fall off of the earth slide" happen to Tech for anything…As a Dawg fan we don't want anything to happen to CPJ……Think of it like when Zook was at Florida….Oh we hated to see him go…Be light on CPJ, he'll turn it around in 5 or 6 years…..In that time maybe recruits won't be afraid to go outside after dark in downtown Atlanta…Best of luck….You'll need it!!!
October 23rd, 2011
10:16 am
Q: Coach Johnson, why does your team and high school offense suck beyond belief?
A: Well, that's a fair question, but my offense is the best in the universe if I only had the perfect athletes to execute it. I should punch you in the face for that question.
October 23rd, 2011
10:18 am
GT Joe,
Actually Joe, the difference is you are not playing Newton County High School every weekend and running up the score against them.
October 23rd, 2011
10:22 am
Do ya'll know what gnaws at my gut worse than the Yellow Jackets losing like a bunch of pansies? The !@#$^&&^%$##$%^&*((*&^%^&**^%$#@! trolling MUTTS. I hate to just hand them that kind of fodder for their puny little minds to play with.
October 23rd, 2011
10:25 am
Losing isn't fun. Learning from losing is what needs to happen. I am not sure what the coaches have learned, but I think Washington is scared to pitch the ball in tight spaces. I don't want him to make a bunch of TO's but he has to pitch the ball more.
October 23rd, 2011
10:28 am
As a Tech alum and season ticket holder, it really pisses me off to see Coach Johnson throwing his players under the bus.
It all comes back to the coaching, and let's face it, the past 2 seasons CPJ just isn't getting the job done!
October 23rd, 2011
10:29 am
Tech has the second youngest team in ALL of college football, that is FCS and FBS. This team is going to stumble and get better. No panic from this Tech fan. They will be a really great team next year with a real QB and a seasoned O line. The defense is better this year than last, the offense is far worse. First year running the triple option without a warrior at QB, tough to make it work. Coach Johnson has recruited quite well if you ask me, look at how many freshman and sophmores are playing. Yes, we will get rolled over by an orange crush next week, but don't lose faith Jacket fans.
October 23rd, 2011
10:32 am
You really want to know why you lost, and why you will continue to lose year after year? You and your brethern have been convinced a cutsey high school offense will work, week in and week out against the big boys of college football. Even in the worst D-1A conference of all of them it still sucks. Your arrogant, pompous, unprofessional, holier-than-thou coach is too stuck on himself to realize he is dead wrong, but then again, he is a fine representative of your school and fan base.
October 23rd, 2011
10:34 am
Johnson has had 4 recruiting classes now. If you morons want to use the "but we're just so young" laugher of an excuse then please, do so, much to the amusement of every rational non-trade school fan.
October 23rd, 2011
10:37 am
The Tech Clemson game is going to be very very UGLY—-for Tech.
October 23rd, 2011
10:37 am
All I ask of the teams I pull for, and really all any fan should expect, is for them to be competitive and at the very least give themselves a good chance to win and maybe be in the hunt for a championship once in a while. Unfortunately, that is not what we have gotten the past 2 games at GT. This team has played without any emotion, focus, intensity, determination or heart (the defense has taken some big strides to right their ship and played like they wanted to win). This lackadaisical attitude the team has shown 2 weeks running reflects directly on the coaches. They don't know how to motivate these young kids apparently. There doesn't seem to be any leadership from the older guys on the team. Someone needs to light a FIRE under their collective butts. IMNTBHO, this is what we fans can expect to see until someone in charge figures this out. CPJ's statements that he doesn't believe he should have to motivate these young men shows he has no understanding of the mental aspects of competitive sports. Surely he had to take a psych or two somewhere along the way.

The Mexican peso jumped higher against the dollar after better-than-expected U.S. jobs data caught markets by surprise.
U.S. employers added 236,000 jobs in February, far outpacing the increase of 160,000 expected by economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires. The unemployment rate, obtained by a separate survey of U.S. households, fell two-tenths of a percentage point to 7.7%, the lowest level since the end of 2008.
The reports are a positive development for Mexico, whose economy is closely linked with the U.S., its biggest trade partner. As a result, the Mexican peso surged to a session high against the U.S. dollar in the wake of the data.
The peso rose 0.4% against the dollar, which bought MXN12.7117, according to CQG.
Now investors are likely looking ahead to the Bank of Mexico's rate decision. Markets have been split over whether the central bank will cut rates to spur growth or remain on hold at 4.5%.
Other emerging-market currencies' reactions to the jobs data were less robust, however. For example, the South African rand pared gains against the dollar following the data.
The dollar recently traded at ZAR9.1137 against the rand, compared to ZAR9.0938 shortly before the jobs data were released.
Analysts said such a strong report could renew the prospects of the Federal Reserve unwinding its ultra-easy monetary policy sooner than expected. The Fed's accommodative-policy stance has helped to provide additional liquidity in financial markets, helping to direct more capital flows into emerging markets. The removal of such policies would remove one pillar of support for emerging-market assets.
"It's a strong payrolls release and I think that will have people talking about whether this is a sign of things to come," said Christian Lawrence, emerging-markets strategist at Rabobank in London.
The Turkish lira also slipped, hitting a session low against the dollar. It declined 0.3% against the U.S. currency, which bought TRY1.8022, according to CQG.

Just got back from seeing Catching Fire - SPOILER FREE.
I don't even know what to write.. It surpassed ALL my expectations and blew me away! They took so many lines directly from the book! Not to mention they hardly left anything out.. this movie had EVERYTHING. The CGI was so much better this time around, fucking fantastic. The actors and actresses were soooooooo flawless. I love, love, loVED Finnick and Johanna! Omg. Plus the beautiful beautiful Everlark moments. So many freaking feels (especially at a certain train moment & beach moment). 90% of this movie I spent on the EDGE of my seat. So well done.. so freaking well done. I was about 30mins into the damn movie when I turned to my boyfriend and said I need to see this again.. like now- and the movie wasn't even half over yet <3 Plus the movie was so much more real this time.. I mean the first one was dark, but this one is so much darker. The times that you tear up in this film.. ahhhhh
Thank you Francis Lawrence and the rest of the cast and crew! You people deserve a standing ovation. This movie was one of the greatest movies I've seen in a long time. I'll be counting down the minutes till Thursday when I can watch it all again!
Also- Subway was so awesome with the VIP treatment and gift cards! Shout out to Subway "where the victors eat" lmao
Strange things did happen here.. No stranger would it be..
If we met up at midnight in the hanging tree. (x)
"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."
Just got this done today! This was taken right after it was done- hence the redness and darkness of the dandelion!
Peeta and I sit on the damp sand, facing away from each other, my right shoulder and hip pressed against his. I watch the water as he watches the jungle, which is better for me. I'm still haunted by the voices of the jabberjays, which unfortunately the insects can't drown out. After a while I rest my head against his shoulder. Feel his hand caress my hair.
He offered me sugar and wanted to know all my secrets,
The piercing shriek cuts me off. It's another voice, not Prim's, maybe a young woman's. I don't recognize it. But the effect on Finnick is instantaneous. The color vanishes from his face and I can actually see his pupils dilate in fear. "Finnick, wait!" I say, reaching out to reassure him, but he's bolted away. Gone off in pursuit of the victim, as mindlessly as I pursued Prim.
Only then does he seem to notice our expressions,
the way we're wrapped around each other.
Whatever it takes to break you.
For a moment we're frozen, sizing each other up, our weapons, our skill.
Then Finnick suddenly grins. "Lucky thing we're allies. Right?"
A lot of nights on the train, for instance,

Imagine leaving the hospital after seeing the doctor, and the only thing you have to worry about is, "Do I have food in the refrigerator?" Your hospital care is all taken care of by the government, no matter what it was. Your doctor is paid for and their services are not costing you a dime.
This is not a dream. Ninety percent of the world has this system. All industrial countries have this except for the United States of America. In its place, they have the brutality better known as insurance companies.

It is not at all uncommon to have a work for hire contract allow the things your artist requests, such as being able to display the work in their own portfolio, getting "game credit", etc.
I'm curious what your (multiple persons) thoughts are on the bit about wholesale reselling. How typically is something like that brought up? Is it actually a serious problem for art contractors? Would you be willing to forgo those rights as a game developer hiring an artist? It's mostly an academic question for me, since I'd rather get a good artist at a cheap price and forgo those rights for my first reasonably sized game than hassle about it and have to find a different artist.
You've now crossed over from legal issues to business issues. .
As a game developer, you want as much control over what they deliver as possible. Ideally that is everything. And typically an artist who is paid for their work should not expect to retain any rights. They create something to your spec. You pay them. You own it. End of story.
All that said, it is perfectly acceptable to give them back some of those rights. However, if they want something of value (eg limiting the rights they give you), then it is perfectly reasonable for you to expect something of value in return (say paying them much less money).
I've seen this come up moreso in game music than in art. For example, a composer may want a "piece" of game soundtrack sales. In such cases, what is typically done is a work for hire agreement, with an additional clauses that the composer will get a certain percentage for uses of the music outside the game itself. But often that clause comes at the cost of a lower fee.
I'd highly recommend you make it a Work For Hire agreement,and then give back specific bits, as opposed to making it not a work for hire agreement, and then trying to add in all the things that you need as a game developer. That would make it more like a license agreement (they retain ownership and give you certain rights) and that is fairly unusual when the artist would be creating new art for a new game. (it's a different story if, for example, you wanted to incorporate art that has already been created into your game). Also very important is that, while they may be the author of the art asset, you as the game developer own the characters.
Hope that makes sense! Good luck-- it sounds like you're asking all the right questions.

Information for nurses and midwives who trained outside of the EU or EEA countries
Qualification, Training & Experience
To satisfy ourselves that the applicant is capable of practising safely and effectively in the UK as a nurse or midwife we will assess their qualification, training and experience against our standards. We will consider whether the applicant has undertaken the necessary post-qualifying practice and experience in each area of nursing or midwifery deemed appropriate for the part of the Register for which they are applying.
Changes to the application process for non-EU/EEA educated applicants in October 2014
From October 2014, we will launch a revised registration application process for all new non-EU/EEA educated applicants. We have produced a basic guide to the changes, which explains the new process for applying from 1 October 2014. Applications received before this date will be dealt with under our current arrangements.
Guide to changes in overseas application process [PDF]
We will publish a more detailed candidate booklet and online guidance ahead of the formal system launch in October.
Current application process (to October 2014)
If you are thinking of applying to be a nurse or midwife in the UK, read the following information.
If we sent you an application pack at this point you would not have enough time to receive, prepare and submit the required information before the process change in October 2014. As a result, we have withdrawn our overseas application request form until the new process has been launched.
You will be able to apply under the new process at the beginning of October 2014.
When you apply you must have been practising as a registered nurse or midwife for at least 12 months (full-time or the part-time equivalent) after qualifying. Also, if you have been qualified for longer than this, you must have practised for at least 450 hours in the previous three years. You must also meet our English language requirements, with an international English language test (IELTS) score of 7.0.
You should be aware that you will, separately, be required to meet the full requirements of the UK's immigration processes.
On completion of the initial application process, a full application pack will be sent to you for completion. When you receive the full application pack, the forms must be completed and returned by post to the contact address indicated.
As of August 2013, applicants are required to attend a face to face identification check at our office in London, after completion of the Overseas Nursing Programme (ONP). At the ID interview you must produce the original versions of the documents you sent photocopies of. We will undertake final checks on your previous registration, and take a photograph for our records.
We cannot issue you with a Pin or place you on the our register until you have satisfied the requirements of this check. Please do not attempt to make an identity check appointment until you have been contacted by us, asking you to book one.
Information for nurses
How we will assess your application
Applicants must have attended and completed a nursing training programme equivalent to 4,600 hours to be considered for admission to the NMC Nursing Register.
The 4,600 hours of nursing training must include the following clinical areas:
• General and specialist medicine• General and specialist surgery• Childcare and paediatrics• Maternity (obstetric) care• Mental health and psychiatry• Care of the elderly • Community/primary care nursing
In addition the 4,600 hours must comprise:
• at least a third theory (i.e. 1,533 hours)• at least a half clinical (i.e. 2,300 hours)
Applicants who meet a minimum threshold but who do not meet the above requirements can address any short fall either by providing additional evidence of pre-requisite programmes undertaken or through completion of post registration practice.
The minimum thresholds which must be met for any consideration to be made are 1000 hours of theory and 1267 hours of clinical practice from their original training. Applications that do not achieve this level will be rejected
All applicants will be required to undertake 20 days Protected Learning Time (PLT) and a programme of supervised practice (ONP) for a minimum of three months.
Information for midwives
If your application had met our minimum standards, you would have been required to complete one of these programmes.
There is currently only one approved midwifery adaptation course running in the UK, from Kingston University at St George's Hospital, Tooting, London. More information on this course.
You cannot work as a midwife in the United Kingdom without completing this programme. Please use the link below to keep up to date with current availability.

Sun has acquired Q-Layer, a Belgian company that provides automation tools for cloud offerings. In the ongoing battle for control of the cloud API this brings Sun one step closer to creating a unique "Open Cloud" eco-system.
All current cloud offerings and API's (Google AppEngine, Amazon EC2/S3, Microsoft Azure...) are proprietary, vendor dependent offerings. Such closed cloud offerings would make the worst nightmares of the next computing monopoly come true if they prevail - not only lose control over the applications, but also where you run them and ultimately - your data.
Sun is in the unique position to create what I call an "Open Cloud" offering. With the technology Sun already owns, among them Java, MySQL, OpenSolaris, now Q-Layer - plus their servers and storage offerings - they would be hard to beat.
An "Open Cloud" would enable users to move their application on- and off and between "Open Cloud" based services - thus retaining their freedom but reaping the benefits of SaaS / Cloud offerings at the same time.
That's a killer - we at Open-Xchange will be on it in a nanosecond!

I'm aiming square at the nexus of game – the core concepts of being an alpha male, or emulating alpha's to enhance your game – the concept is that alpha's get all the chicks, but it's never been asked, as far as I know, whether being alpha is game? Or better yet, can alpha's have bad game? Does the definition, either blue pill concepts, or red pill concepts of alpha's actually employ bad game and still get chicks, or do they suffer the same fate as their beta counterparts and thus are actually beta, and not alpha at all?
For starters, let's look at the idea that Alpha's walk around not giving a fuck, it's a well known trait, one of the key emulated traits of the aspiring alpha's, one of the main differentiators between emotional simpering beta's, and their aloof uncaring counterparts. Is not giving a fuck going to get you laid on it's own? This attitude in itself can lead to bad game. Saying something with out the concern of a response can be either good game, or bad game, it can be a turn on or a turn off, but the sheer fact of caring whether it's a turn on or a turn off, well makes you kind of care, which isn't very alpha, because you shouldn't care. An alpha also doesn't care if he turns some women off, due to the fact that he can have so many other women, or has pussy he's hitting any ways. But… by running bad game, despite the un-caring, he's still running bad game, and thus some might say, not alpha. I've often wondered what some of my readers or manosphere brethren might think if they hung out with me in the field, because there are many times I just do what I feel like in the moment, and often times, run bad game either for a joke, my own amusement, or to prove something that I can relate here, and it solely depends on my mood, and how intrigued I am in banging some babes. Sometimes I have more fun playing around with girls than I do gaming them… but most of the time, it's my own ego, I actually want to see what I can actually get away with and get the bang. In these moods I'm not concerned with the success rate other than a, "I can't believe this girl still spread her legs for me after what I just did." kind of interest. With out trying all different tactics, it's much harder to have a broader aspect of game. But does running bad game itself mean you're not alpha? A bystander or the girl(s) you're interacting with may not think so. Of course, it is un-alpha-like to consider such nonsense, but in the interest of self improvement, I venture into dangerous territory to discover the truth.
By seduction definitions, or modern times standards, the alpha is the guy who get's the most chicks, or has the most chicks chasing him. But if you're an alpha running bad game, you're left with only the girls from afar tingling for you, rather than the girls you're interacting with. The question arose for me because it correlates to good looking game. It's a similar stand point of bad game from good looking guys. The assumption is, that a great looking guy can do no wrong and will get more lays just from being good looking. It should be known, that good looking guys with bad game, don't match up to average guys with great game. They simply get more opportunities to bang more girls, and hotter ones, actually converting those to lays, is more reliant on game than it is looks, for we all know two things about women. They aren't as motivated sexually on looks as guys are, and more turned on by a socially nuanced confident man, than they are from just some good looking awkward chump. I now, after much research, believe it's the same for the alpha. Run bad game as an alpha and find your lay conversion percentage lower than the smooth talking alpha. Both will have more women after them then the blue pill beta, but the alpha running good game, will mop the floor with the alpha running bad game, for whatever reason.
Of course, this all relies on how you define alpha. Would you say the alpha is the one who only runs good game? Is that even possible? Is running bad game incongruent with alpha behaviour? It really can't be if he doesn't care whether he runs good game or not. It is however dangerous for an alpha to run bad game, because at some point that becomes habit forming, especially if he's still getting laid. If you learn bad habits, it's much harder to get back on to good game, and much easier to slide into the lesser category and feel lost and confused, and suddenly flailing at trying to land new pussy, and get your proper game back, and much introspection and hand wringing commences and you lose your way faster than a feminist can demonize all men.
So what do you think? Is it possible to still be labelled Alpha, if you run bad game? Is Game and Alpha-ness reliant on each other, or are they two independent traits, that seem to mesh well? I look forward to your thoughts on the matter.

The Islanders start on a 3 game road trip and look to continue their 2 game winning streak. The first stop on the trip is visiting the last place in the Eastern Conference Hurricanes. This is the first meeting of the season between these two teams. The two teams are currently tied at the bottom of the Eastern Conference and the Islanders will look to change that with a win.
The lines from the Islanders practice Sunday stayed the same from the game against the Oilers. They were:
One of the bigger stories for this road trip is that Rick DiPietro will be making the trip as a 3rd goalie. There hasn't been a report yet on whether or not he will play or dress during the trip. DiPietro has been out with a groin injury since December 3rd. Andres Nilsson is still currently with the team on loan from Bridgeport and is expected to dress with the Islanders until DiPietro is ready to play. DiPietro has had his struggles this season before the injury so hopfully he has had enough time to heal from the injury and also work on his game. The other news coming out of Islanders practice Sunday was that Micheal Haley was returned to Bridgeport. With the team starting to get healthier he was no longer needed.
Coming into tonight's head-to-head with the Hurricanes, the Montreal Canadiens hadn't put two of anything together since the Western road trip that saw them beat the Coyotes and Predators two weeks ago. And it stopped there.
In the first period of this game, a significant portion of Habs' fans had their eyes on the Bruins/Sabres rematch, and it was difficult to blame them. Jiri Tlusty opened the scoring within the first minute of the game and Anthony Stewart made it 2-0 for the Hurricanes at the 6-minute mark. For the remainder of the opening frame, the Can...
Coming off a 9-8 loss on Thursday night, the Flyers will look to rebound against former goaltender Brian Boucher and the Carolina Hurricanes.
Three up, and three down. If the Carolina Hurricanes had any hopes of a fast and focused start to this new season – like any fresh-faced, clean-slate squad should when the first puck of the year drops – plans have gone awry in a hurry. They opened the year with back to back games against their most talented division foes and left with only one point in their pocket.
After being dominated by Tampa Bay on Friday's Opening Night in Raleigh, especially during the last two periods, to a tune of 5-1, the Canes needed a last-second empty-net surge to earn an OT point Saturday before being dismissed by a Mike Green power play goal in Was...
And so it begins.
Things this offseason were swirling in Carolina, and one's left to wonder exactly where this team is headed when the first official puck drops Friday night in Raleigh. The Hurricanes lost one established and respected defenseman in Joe Corvo while gaining another more well known for his ability to contribute on offense in Tomas Kaberle. Depth was added at winger in the form of Anthony Stewart, formerly of the Atlanta Thrashers, who's currently slated to bring some of the speed and scoring potential to the fourth line. Veteran Alex Ponikarovsky, who's struggled since he was traded from Toronto to Pittsburgh two y...
As you may have heard, Logan Couture signed a contract extension with the San Jose Sharks this past week. The contract will bind him to the Sharks through the 2013-14 season and pays Couture $5.75 million ($2.75M the first year, $3M the second year). This was a smart move by Doug Wilson; now the Sharks top two forward lines, top defensive pairs, and number one goalie are all signed through 2012-13, security that many other teams would die for (namely the Devils and Predators with Parise and Weber, respectively). In light of his new contract, I decided to post this story I wrote a while ago shortly after the NHL Awards.

It feels a bit odd that my first thoughts at The Checking Line are not about my beloved Penguins of Pittsburgh, but Chuck Gaston, Jr., did such a good job discussing their off-season to date that it's best for me to look a little closer to my current home of Charlotte, NC, and the Carolina Hurricanes. For those relatively unfamiliar with the Canes, they landed in Raleigh, NC, in 1999 after moving from Hartford, CT, in 1997 and spending two seasons playing in Greensboro, NC.
They're the only pro team from the four major North American sports in Raleigh, and they've cultivated a devoted following (Caniacs) and an in-house atmosphere at the RBC Center that's ver...

16 different strips of stitching in several varieties of thread/cord thickness – all about 12 or 13 inches long. Also there are some stitched designs and doodles – I was going to do the designs as a separate download, but it turned out not to be as big as I expected so although there are 2 previews, everything is all in one download. You can just throw out the stuff you don't want.
These are all in greyscale so they can be colorized however you like. I found the best way to colorize them is to use a color overlay set to "multiply" but you can use whatever method works for you.

Announcing our 2013 Annual Campaign, Innovate!
The 2013 Annual Campaign patch highlights Girl Scouts' focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Girl Scouts is answering the nation's call to engage more youth in STEM because STEM workers drive our nation's innovation and competitiveness by generating new ideas, new companies and new industries. Yet today women hold about 25% of STEM positions even though the majority of college graduates are women and nearly half make up the country's work force.
How will your donation help in this effort?
- It will create more opportunities for girls to engage in STEM activities. Research shows most girls want to change the world (88%) and help people (90%) but do not see how STEM helps them achieve their aspirations. As a result they do not pursue STEM careers. Research also tells us girls' interest in STEM increases with greater exposure to STEM fields.
- It will help girls achieve academic success. Research shows that girls who gain experience in problem solving and seeking challenges in Girl Scouting are more successful in school. We also know that girls interested in STEM fields are higher achievers and better students.
How will your donation be used?
- While volunteers understand the importance of working with girls to encourage their interest in STEM, understandably many often feel daunted by the challenge. Donations will help bring resources to volunteers. This includes, but is not limited to designing trainings that better support the use of "It's Your Planet, Love It!" journeys, creating STEM experiences at camps, and forging partnerships with mentors and organizations that can assist with STEM-focused program activities
- One of Girl Scout's greatest legacies is being a sister to every Girl Scout. Donations will also help support girls who might not participate in Girl Scouting because their family income is near or below the federal poverty level. Offering financial assistance to girls makes Girl Scouting a reality in their lives.

Congratulations to Hayley K., Miss Hawai`i Oustanding Teen 2013!
Miss Hawai`i Outstanding Teen is the sister program to the Miss Hawai`i Scholarship Pageant, which falls under the Miss America system--the largest scholarship donor to women aged 17 to 24 in the world. In Hawai`i alone, the Miss Hawai`i Organization makes over one million dollars in scholarship funds available each year.
Young women between the ages of 13 and 17 years are eligible to participate in the Miss Hawai`i Outstanding Teen pageant. For two months girls must go through weekly training sessions where they learn interviewing skills, stage presence, posture, talent and presentation skills. Like the Girl Scouts, the Miss Hawai`i Outstanding Teen program is aimed at developing the "whole person" by giving young women a forum to express their personal viewpoints, talents and accomplishments. A private interview, talent and scholastic achievement are just a few of the categories evaluated during the competition.
For Hayley's on-stage question, she was asked to explain the most important thing that the Girl Scouts has done for her. She responded by saying that the Girl Scouts has helped to shape her into the confident, independent young woman she is today:
My plan, if I should win, is to demonstrate that Girl Scouts boosts confidence, builds leadership and gives direction. Young girls will see that Miss Hawai`i's Outstanding Teen is a Girl Scout and proud one of it! My confidence and pride of being a Girl Scout should lift spirits and encourage young girls to join. Also, showing the benefits and different correlations that the Girl Scout organization has to the Miss Outstanding Teen organization under Miss America Organization. It provides a forum for young women to express their viewpoints, talents and accomplishments. This is exactly what Girl Scouting does for every girl and really, being Miss Hawai`i's Outstanding Teen and being a Girl Scout aren't so different. As a community, we need to take action. As Miss Hawai`i's Outstanding Teen I'm excited to encourage girls to be a part of this worldwide organization that many women leaders have come from. I want to change the mindset of young teens today so that we can have a better tomorrow.
Congratulations on your wonderful achievement, Hayley, and good luck in the competition in August!

Everybody in Beirut goes to the mountains when the heat and humidity of the summer first hits, around July, and you see narrow winding mountain roads teeming with cars piled up with mattresses and all manner of odds and ends for the summer getaway trip that lasts until September.
So, here I was with my grandmother in this nice hotel, and I would take meals with her; the tables at the hotel were covered with white linen tablecloth; every table had plate and silverware and a small dish of olives, along with a bag of pita bread.
One table had, in addition to that, a small dish with a green pepper in it. Every day. A green pepper on a small plate. I was so intrigued. I asked: " Why does this table have the green pepper and we don't?"
" Because the gentleman requested a green pepper on his table" I was told.
" Why?"
" Because he likes to eat green pepper"
The gentleman in question was a retired bachelor and he liked to eat his green pepper with his olives and bits of pita bread, every day, before his meal.
This totally trivial episode stuck with me and one day, I decided to check out the green pepper and olives with pita idea.
I fell in love with it.
Now I buy green pepper and cut big chunks and put an olive on it and eat this with some pita bread and it makes me happy.
Salad consists of shredded carrots; diced Armenian cucumbers; olives; chopped parsley.
Dressing is the usual lemon juice, olive oil combo with a smidgeon of mashed garlic and some grated fresh ginger.

Napping for Babies: Expert Advice
Let's face it, naps are a godsend—not just for your baby, but also for you. When baby's snoozing, Mom gets to shower, pay bills, and get as much done around the house as humanly possible. All joking aside, that siesta is also key to your little one's health. Studies have shown that babies who nap tend to sleep longer—and better—at night and are less fussy during the day than those who don't nap.
Experts agree that maintaining a consistent daily routine will help cue your child to his appropriate naptimes and help him fall asleep faster. Of course, that's nearly impossible to do in the first three months of your child's life—he'll fall asleep randomly throughout the day, and for varying amounts of time. But according to Marc Weissbluth, MD, author of Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child, a pattern should emerge after that.
Napping through Age Two
- Around the 4-month mark, babies typically take two to three naps. (One in the morning, one midday, and one, which tends to be brief, in the early evening.)
- By 6 months, your baby will likely have two set naps (one in the morning and one in the afternoon), each lasting one to two hours.
- This will continue until your child is 12 to 18 months old, at which point he'll likely drop his morning nap.
Napping Tips (to Use Today)
Follow these steps for stress-free snoozing:
- Put your baby in his crib at the first sign that he's tired. This could mean he's yawning, rubbing his eyes, or starting to get fussy. Try not to rock or nurse him to sleep since he may develop a dependence on you and have a hard time learning to fall asleep on his own.
- Signal to your baby that it's time to nap by closing the shades and turning off the lights. Make the room as dark and quiet as possible.
- Don't keep your baby up too late at night, since this can interfere with his naps the following day. Similarly, don't let your baby nap too late in the afternoon. If he's still snoozing by 5 p.m., try to gently wake him up. Otherwise he's likely to resist bedtime.
- Try to have your baby or toddler nap in the same place—his crib—every time. Of course, it's inevitable that sometimes your schedule won't allow you to be home for that to happen. In those cases, your baby will likely doze off in his stroller or carseat.
- Does your baby or toddler refuse to nap? Remember that babies have to nap regularly—their bodies just can't stay up for more than a few hours without sleep. So while your baby may cry for a while, he will eventually crash and snooze. In the case of toddlers, insist that your child at least spend some quiet time in his crib. He may just play with his toys, but at least he's had a little time to unwind and recharge.

Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body. It slows human metabolism and produces a calming effect. Blue is strongly associated with tranquility and calmness. In heraldry, blue is used to symbolize piety and sincerity.
Blue is a masculine color; according to studies, it is highly accepted among males. Dark blue is associated with depth, expertise, and stability; it is a preferred color for corporate America.
When used together with warm colors like yellow or red, blue can create high-impact, vibrant designs; for example, blue-yellow-red is a perfect color scheme for a superhero.
Light blue is associated with health, healing, tranquility, understanding, and softness.
Dark blue represents knowledge, power, integrity, and seriousness (color-wheel-pro.com).

Practical Techniques for Designing Better E-Learning, David Anderson, ArticulateSubmitted by snasta on Fri, 06/04/2010 - 15:52
At the E-Learning Symposium, Articulate's David Anderson (@elearning) provided an engaging and practical lecture on using elements of design when building your courses. Doing so makes them more heavily geared toward the topic, as well as aesthetically pleasing to the learners. Topics addressed were:
- working with the "client" to create a look and feel for e-learning using a brilliant mind mapping technique
- creating custom themes
- the personality of fonts and choosing the right font to enhance your e-learning
- simple graphic techniques that reduce text and make your e-learning more inviting
David also answered the question of why there is invariably a rooster crowing on his webinar.

A public service announcement:
A new rule for submissions has surfaced:
PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY make sure that if you submit your own picture, screenie whatever, that it is a LARGE jpeg. Graphic Designers such as myself have trouble doing anything with TINY pics.
What I would like is:
- 800x600
- 1024x780
- 1280x720
- 1920x1080 (is ideal)
Anything smaller I WILL NOT USE. I REPEAT:
Got it? Good,
for your cooperation.
Now I bet you're wondering why this is such a problem, right? Well for starters, SMALLER PICTURES MAKE EVERYTHING LOOK LIKE COMPLETE SHIT!
I understand that most of you are just gamers and do not understand the graphic design side of life. But I DO to a certain degree since I graduated college with a Graphic Design major and was taught all of this!
AND NO I CANNOT take your small ass picture and make it bigger in Photoshop. IT MAKES IT LOOK MORE LIKE SHIT! It's impossible.
So basically when it comes to graphic design, BIGGER IS BETTER AND SIZE MATTERS.

Abhisit Sets up Advisory Committee on National Security Cases Involving the Monarchy
On 12 January 2010, the Thai News Agency reported that the Prime Minister ordered the establishment of an Advisory Committee on National Security Cases Involving the Monarchy, with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice as chair. The Committee has the responsibility of advising the police, DSI and ICT Ministry on the careful, appropriate and fair conduct of lèse majesté cases
The report revealed that Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva ordered the establishment of the Advisory Committee on National Security Cases Involving the Monarchy, appointing Mr Kittipong Kittayarak, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, as chair and the Permanent Secretaries of all ministries as members. Mr Tharit Pengdit, Director-General of the Department of Special Investigation, is the secretary. The first formal meeting at 2 pm on 12 January was to be attended by the Prime Minister.
The Advisory Committee on National Security Cases Involving the Monarchy has the duty of advising officials in the police, DSI and Ministry of Information and Communication Technology on the conduct of national security cases involving the monarchy to ensure that such cases are handled with care and justice in an appropriate manner.
Is this another of Abhisit's
Is this another of Abhisit's Opposite statements, wherein he makes nice and the real powers pulling his strings make nasty?
Or perhaps this is done in "good faith"? Closing the barn door after the bull has escaped and gored Boonyuen Prasertying (convicted and jailed), Darunee Charnchoensilpakul (denied a fair trial, jailed, denied medical treatment, and appealing), and Suwicha Thakor (convicted and jailed).
If it's the later there remains the heavy lifting of reversing those three decisions. If the former... someday there may be an election in Thailand and this evil regime will be swept from power and out to sea.
Small succor for those suffering behind bars... for decades... for exercising their free speech.
This from Thai Rath via the
This from Thai Rath via the BP on Abhisit's visit to Prem at the latter's digs :
Prem gave moral support to the PM and said he didn't want to see parliament dissolved and for Abhisit to continue to govern the country. Prem said he was willing to speak to Banharn to find a solution [to problems within the coalition that might cause an election to be called]... Prem was also concerend about the Red Shirt protests.
If this is accurate it's pretty clear who is really running the country.
I think Chang Noi is correct. The regime's "solution" to the "problem" of their not being able to win an election is simply not to hold elections... ever again.

What is Mobility?
Mobility can be a broad term and mean different things to different organizations. It may best be defined as a person whose job is related to working in the field, outside the four walls. These field service and field sales individuals are the face and personality of the organization they represent. The actions they take, the professionalism they display and the quality of work they perform all impact the customer's perception of the company they represent.
Mobility Solutions:
|Field Service
|Field Sales
|Route Accounting
|Direct Store Delivery
|Police and Fire
|Public Safety
Activities that occur in these remote and mobile environments (outside the four walls) can have such an impact on a field organization. It is important to insure that the field individual has access to the best quality tools and systems available to him/her to provide the best possible service for the remote customer.
Technology plays a large part in providing these field individuals with the tools they need to stay in contact with the corporate office. They are able to obtain valuable information concerning their customers, the products, and how to handle exceptions in the field, as well as new business opportunities. Mobile computers , which have built in WLAN and WWAN radios, enable field service individuals to keep in touch with corporate resources and corporate offices. Corporate offices have timely access to the field force individuals which provide them with the opportunity to change service directives if needed. In addition to the mobile computers , portable mobile printers are used when a receipt or proof of service is required. Being able to setup wireless hotspots when desired for those mobile workers or having a WWAN backup connection to your primary network connection is another segment of the BlueStar Mobility offerings.

Acts 4:32-35; Psalm 133; 1 John 1:1-2:2; John 20:19-31
John 20:19-31
When I was in grad school, my family moved into an apartment in South Chicago. When we saw that the door of the apartment had four locks, we wondered why we needed so many. I soon discovered that the benefit was mostly emotional. When we got inside at night, after being worried about whatever, we could shut the door on the world and turn lots of little levers. "Click, click, click." I think of that door when I'm listening to people describe how they cope with their fears.
Acts 4:32-35; John 20:19-31
In the poem "Manifesto: The Mad Farmer Liberation Front," Wendell Berry's mad farmer warns against the love of "the quick profit, the annual raise, vacation with pay," a life which makes one "afraid to know your neighbors and to die." Instead, the mad farmer exhorts us, "Every day do something that won't compute. Love the Lord.
So where was Thomas anyway that first Easter evening? In my childhood Sunday school classes, Thomas was a "bad guy." When the other ten disciples told him that Jesus was alive after his crucifixion, Thomas refused to believe it. He separated himself from the others and demanded to see Christ for himself.
Acts 2:14a; 22-32Psalm 161 Peter 1:3-9John 20:19-31
When I was in seminary, Doubting Thomas was my soul mate. Jesus kept "appearing" to my fellow students within the rich stories of the Christian tradition. But like Thomas, I never seemed to be there when Jesus arrived. Why? Because the absurdity of the resurrection rumor had sent me away. I could not see the mark on Jesus' hands or touch the wound in his side.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
If you get a group together that can kill him in 15 seconds or less, you generally only need one interrupt. I've done it dozens of times now for guildies, some with 5 DPS, and then others with 4 DPS and 1 healer. The key is to not interrupt the first transformation until it is around 75% complete. The cooldown on the ability resets only after the interrupt. That gives you a few fractions of a seconds more to down him before the next transformation.

Gorgeous space, in very safe surroundings
We were welcomed by the warm Sunshine and a very warm owner who was continuously at hand, in case we needed anything. Polite, friendly and very efficient. We felt truly at home and loved the space. A short walking distance to some white sandy beaches and gorgeous sea. Wish we were still there!
The description is accurate, but the pictures do not capture the breath taking beauty of this area. As stated, the village is within the nature reserve and is surrounded by pure beauty. The roof top deck is amazing!!!! We enjoyed having coffee in the morning, wine and backgammon in the evenings watching the ocean crash into the cliffs and star gazing! There is a luxurious lounge furniture for the roof top deck! You can easily fall asleep to the sounds of the birds and the ocean. The apartment is very nice, modern and clean. The owner was wonderful to deal with! She was responsive to emails, phone calls and provided a great deal of information of things to do, places to see in the area. We were at the end of a two week vacation in Portugal and wanted some down time before returning to the states. So we didn't go to any of the night club … But the cafes were great and the food was so fresh! This location is a hidden gem and the local's secret beach hideaway... We didn't want to leave. We would highly recommend this place and plan to return!

This somehow evolved from an extremely failed attempt to shoot with an ice cream cone.
It has been ungodly hot here this week…unbearably so. The ice cream became mush in my car in a matter of 5 minutes, even with the AC on. In honor of the sweltering heat, I attempted to capture the ice cream as it melted down my hand. I did…for about 3 frames before it fell off the cone and became a gooey mess. It got all over my hands, my clothes and my equipment. -_- So I ate it…and did this instead.
Cool story, I know.
Off to Cabo, see you in a week! :)

I printed two 24X36 of some of my landscape pictures. It's kind of surreal…and nerve racking to see them that big. I'm not 100% satisfied with them, then again I don't have a lot of experience with printing. Trial by error.

This was sort of random and sporadic. I finished senior portraits at around 7 and was just going to give up shooting in natural light. Last minute I decided to keep driving and made it just in time to catch the fading light.

Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
As he faced the sun he cast no shadow
I love Oasis.
So…when I don't have any ideas all I need to do is play with my hair. This should get me through the next 262 days, right? I haven't cut my hair for an entire year. Let's see how long it gets by the end of this!
Not quite sure how I feel about this yet. Pointless unless viewed larger.

Today was fun. :) Spent the whole day with this awesome guy, Andrew, who also doubled as my assistant for this shoot. He gave me boosts into various dryers and got some "behind the scenes" shots on his phone. He was also kind enough to play me "Dirty Laundry" to rock out to. haha.
The laundromat was empty except for one other guy who acted like I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary by climbing into dryers and rolling around in this cart. I'm getting more and more confident waltzing into places like this and just going for it.
I apologize for the inconsistency in my editing…I'm going through a metamorphosis of sorts so I'm experimenting. Haven't been using many square crops lately hmm…
Now I have to study for a midterm. Woo…

This is not the concept I had in mind. I moved the glass panel in front of the fireplace so I could have more room to move about and the cat crawled up there. I had to fish her out and got soot, ashes, and footprints EVERYWHERE. I played with a few other ideas and came up with this. I can feel break coming to an abrupt end…I will soon be swallowed in a black, gaping hole of papers, midterms and responsibility. You like how poetic I'm getting with this?
I'm having a lot of fun experimenting with different editing techniques. :)

Me not wanting to brave the rain or get out of my sweatpants= this. I'm just being all around lazy…
Don't really know where this came from.

Spring time means I get to wear my flowy shirts again. :)
P.S. How many hair flips is too many…?

65 days?? Only 300 to go! Here's some more magic bokeh and flying hair for you.
I was a nice surprise to find an invitation to Getty Images in my Flickr mail this morning. :) Kind of a random selection of my work if you ask me but that's ok.
I went into Michael's today for some photo props. It's kind of funny when you're in the check out line and you look in other people's shopping carts. Most of the time it's a random assortment of strange objects that have nothing in common.
P.S. Explosions in the Sky may be one of the greatest instrumental bands I've ever heard.

The light was AMAZING today!!!
I forgot what it feels like to have time to do fun things. It's officially my weekend and I'm going to have a great night. :)
