Read an Excerpt
I am--I say this with some pride and not a little wonder--a "dog person." I make no excuses for unabashedly loving them--all of them, even some that have bitten me. I have always had dogs and will have dogs until I die. I have rescued dozens of dogs from pounds, always have five or six of them around me, and cannot imagine living without dogs. They are wonderful and, I think, mandatory for decent human life.
All that said, there are some dogs that are different, special in amazing ways....

I've always been a Gary Pulsin fan abd even though i haven't read this book i know that it is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!(;
Great book!!!!!! I loved it!!!!! :>) :)
I've read lots of gary paulsen books but this one is about the dogs that he loves. My favorite part is the dedecation. It is ssssssooooooo moving, i never thought that a dog could be so brave! You have GOT to read this book!
This book was the best book I read about dogs and pets literature. I thought that this book was the most interesting I ever read. I loved it from beginning to end. An outstanding beautifully and excellent written book. To take readers into his life. I read it 5 times for real!!!!! And recommended it and my family and friends loved it!!! If you want something about pets lives that are amazing in many ways read this book. I know you'll love it!!
I think that this book is great. First of all because I love dogs and Gary Paulson's books. Second he tells about his dogs while at the same time he tells about his life. He had an interesting life so the book was Great. E-mail me and tell me some books you like. I love books about the outdoors. Happy reading
I love this book hope you read it XD
This was a very unique book. I enjoyed every chapter, as I learned about each new dog that passed through Gary Paulsen's life. All of them true stories, of course. I do like the author's writing style very much, and it's amazing how descriptive the book is. I'd pick it up and read it again! I loved each & every one of these dog's stories.
I have read this like 20 times every time wondering how cool it would be.
This book is for anyone who absolutely loves dogs! It tells of all the stories of Gary Paulsen and his many dogs throughout his life. I highly recommend it!
We purchased this book as part of a school project/bookreport. It had to be about animals - and it was recommended by the staff at B&N. While my daughter would have perhaps preferred a Geronimo Stilton Book originally (she loves that series) - we recognized the need for more "challenging" material. What a pleasant surprise this book was! Although we don't own a dog (just a cat)-- we were all drawn into the stories she shared with us from the book -- and impressed at how she (at age 10) was able to relate to the author's life lessons along the way. It was sad at times, and joyful at others. But it truly demonstrated why Dog is man's best friend!
My life in Dog Years is a great memoir about the dogs Gary Paulson has raised through his lifetime. Each chapter has a different story about one of the many dogs he has owned. In one of the chapters, Gary, at the age of seven, lived in Vietnam during the war, and there obviously weren't very many kids living there at that time. So, as you can imagine Gary was lonely and he wanted a friend, and one day found a black puppy with a perfect white circle on its side, but there was a problem. The dog belonged to a butcher and the butcher was planning on eating the dog, plus the butcher wasn't just going to give up his food without a price! My opinion: This is great book that is exciting, happy, and sad. I would recommend this book to any middle school student that has feelings for dogs.
This book is the best book i have ever read!!
I think that evrybody should read this book. If you like dogs this would be the right book for you to read.He talks alot about his life and all of the dogs he had.
Great book of people who like to read about the outdoors. It is about a Boy named Brian was got to see his dad and he was on a small plan. The pilot had a heart attack and Brain landed the plan. So if you like outdoors this book is for you
This was a very good book by Gary Paulson, telling all about all the dogs that he had had in his lifetime, and how they had made an impact on him. It was very enjoyable, though sad in some parts, and it led me to read his other books. He is a great author, and I love his books.
This was a very good book that Gary tells about all his dogs in his lifetime. From Cookie to Josh this book was an enjoyable book to read.
This true story really touches your heart. It tells the story of how Gary paulsen started with dogs, and how he has lived with them all of his life. If you are a dog-lover, this book is an amazing story for you. If you are not a dog-lover, it will make you love them, and want to have experiences as Gary Paulsen did with them. From the first dog to the last, this auto-biography, will make you want to cry and laugh at the same time. Overall it is a great book that everyone should read, and one of my personal favorites!
I read this book every year to my fifth grade students and every one of them loves it! It's an excellent read-aloud book, it hooks the reader with a combination of realism, tenderness, and laugh-out-loud funniness. I never get bored reading it again, the kids love the main subject- dogs! At their age they have a dog or want a dog and can't get enough of Gary Paulsen's dogs. Don't pass it up!
this book is very unique because it's a story about his life and it's also about the animal he cherishes, dogs.
I loved this book but cute dogs +death means I'm crying. But I love this book.
Yes, you should get this book. If you are doubting what I just said, think about who this is coming from. A elementary school teacher who loves a little laugh and reading here and there. I will not tell you all the details, but it is a wonderful book, and yes, you should get it.
The book My Life In Dog Years by Gary paulsen has some good things and bad this about this book. Some of the good things is that it is not fake, and he tells the truth about the dogs he meets in his life. He also cares about his dogs Gary Paulsen meets. I also like how he describes the dogs.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hilton Bristol Hotel
Dreadful Hotel
I recently stayed at the Bristol Hilton on a four day business trip. Dreadful motel like place situated in an industrial wasteland, with most of the car parking spaces taken up by users of the on site fitness suite. Drab and dingy corridors and tired fittings and decor.Minimum towels and one small piece of soap in bathroom. Having ordered a room service cooked breakfast on my first morning, this was delivered late and inedibly cold by a member of staff with minimal English. Room service charges and prices generally are way above average for even a quality four star hotel. This is not a quality four star hotel! Avoid at all costs!
I stayed at the Hilton, with expectations that it would be like all the others, but that was not the case.
The receptionists were not helpful or friendly at all, took them about 5 minutes to even realise we were at reception. The way the rooms are situated are all staring at each other and is again, more like a motel than a 4* hotel. Although the room was fantstic and clean. I think the Hilton is amde more for business men and women than people at the hotel staying at the weekends. Overall though, not impressed on check out, the only time the staff were happy was when we were leaving the hotel.
Quite a good hotel - doesn't deserve all its bad press!
I booked this hotel before reading the reviews on this website and when I did read the reviews I was so sorry I'd booked. But the rate I chose was prepayable, so I had to stick with the booking. I'm so glad I didn't have the option to change though, because I found the hotel to be absolutely fine. It wasn't the best 4* hotel I've ever stayed at, but it certainly wasn't the worst.
Before going, I emailed the manager to explain that I was taking a short holiday with an elderly relative and asked for some suggestions about how I could make the stay more enjoyable for her. The manager's response was prompt, efficient and friendly. She suggested I upgrade our rooms for a �20 per room fee and this entitled us to bigger rooms with complimentary wine, fruit, chocolates and bathrobes. The rates for the rooms was �95 each (with the upgrade), including breakfast. I felt that this was a reasonable rate for the standard of hotel and the standard of room.
Service wasn't brilliant, but not too bad. When we arrived, we had to wait over half an hour for our rooms to be ready, despite being told that we would only have to wait 5 minutes and the receptionist didn't bother to keep us informed of progress with the housekeeping of the room. This was really the only bad experience of the trip though. At all other times we found reception staff to be very friendly and helpful. At one time, a receptionist spent 15 minutes helping me with a query and sought help from 3 other members of staff.
The restaurant food was just about acceptable but nothing special.
All in all, I really don't think the hotel is as bad as some of the reviews on this site make it seem. The standard of rooms and decor is good and service, although patchy, is certainly good at times.
Oh and it's in a really convenient location if you're getting to Bristol by one of the main motorways - couldn't be easier to find!
Don't let this spoil the image of Hilton Hotels!
I agree with the other reviews that this is nothing more than a motel (at hotel prices), and I wish I had read the reviews here before I went to Bristol. I am surprised that Hilton Hotels would keep this one in its chain because it might ruin the Hilton reputation. I have stayed at Hiltons all over the world, and I am usually impressed by their consistent quality and service; I am in denial that this can even be a Hilton. In addition to being a very expensive motel: (1) our toilet didn't flush (even after someone "fixed" it); (2) there were NO washrags in the bathroom; (3) we supposedly had a "deluxe" room, but it was essentially a Motel 6 room; (4) the reception staff were not helpful/informative at all (we received a lot of shoulder shrugging); (5) the location is terrible--miles away from the city (why is "Bristol" in its name?); (6) there was only instant coffee for ONE person, despite advertising coffee makers in the rooms; and (7) there was no elevator to the second floor. I can go on... If you have already stayed here, and this was your first experience at a Hilton, you should realize that not all Hiltons are run like this.
Glorified motel
My family and I stayed here at Easter 2004 and again (because we had no other option) in Autumn 2004.
One member of our party has walking difficulties and angina. Even though we are Hilton HHonors Members with requests for groundfloor rooms, if there is no elevator, on our Hilton HHonors profiles, we were allocated bedrooms on the upper floor. There is no lift, not even a service lift!. Upon requesting rooms on the groundfloor the (indifferent) staff told us that the hotel was full and we could not be moved. We requested non-smoking rooms on both stays and on both occasions had 'smoking' bedrooms. The lounge/seating area is in the centre of the reception and the cloud of smoke from this area permeates all public areas.
If you do not book dinner at the earliest opportunity you will be turned away from the tiny, hotel, restaurant. The menu is uninspiring with very slow service due to insufficient numbers of staff.
Rooms are very depressing and basic. The walls in the public corridors are painted breeze block which reminds me of an iron curtain country public building.
I agree with most of the other reviewers. The staff are indifferent towards the customers. Facilities are those of a second rate motel.
The only good point is that the leisure facility staff are helpful and the pool luxuriously warm.
I would not stay there unless forced to.
Oh - and by the way - the hotel is difficult to find and miles from Bristol city centre.
I have just got back from this hotel and before going i read thereports in here and thought
oh goodness
if w had read the reports before booking we would not have gone
first impressions of the hotel were --wow the trip reports were right
we arived early (12 noon) went into reception to see if we could check in early to be met with
no smiles , no welcome in fact no greeting at all
one male member of staff chatting to a friend at the reception abiut his rugby playing and 3 female members of staff talking towards the rear of reception
after a short wait a female staff member came to the desk but with no smile or plesant greeting.
she was wearing a badge that told me she was a trainee but to be honest i did not get cheaper rates because she was not trained properly.
after getting very indiferent service from her i asked for a duty manager and that is when the pleasant stay began -the lady concernd--Rosamond ,i think , was everything management should be .Pleasant , helpful, knowledable and very good at her job.I was at this stage not a happy bunny but she took control of the situation and showed me a couple of rooms (i should add here i have a wheelchair bound daughter and some times the rooms can be a little bit tight for space) not only that she also showed me the disabled facilities in the leisure centre and help me book dinner.
the meal was something i was not looking forward to after the reports in this site --but once more i was very pleasantly surprised.
the service was attentive - i have a food alergy and was offered plenty of assistance and when i could find nothing suitable from the menu for my first course the chef prepared something specially --great service.
the meals were carvery style and while that my not be to everyones taste the food on there was of good quality good and hot and plentiful
during our meal my 1 year old became restless and the staff were very good trying to entertain him and even fetching him some food from the carvery.
Breakfast , again buffet style food good quality , plentiful and hot , service exceptional .
some very nice touches to the self service buffet a very pleasant chef cooked fried eggs freshly as they were requested and even freshly made waffles with a plentiful supply of maple syrup
also plenty of fresh fruit on the buffet
during our stay one night our room was not made up properly but once again a call to the duty manager and the problem was soved within 15 minutes
my overall impression of the hotel is
we had kids with us and they were great with the kids but we also saw a large proportion of the customers were buisiness people and they all looked to be being looked after well .
i would have no hesitation in returning to this hotel again .
Trying hard but not quite getting there.
Clearly a business hotel, it suffers from the fact that it seems to have more bedroom occupancy than the bar, lounge and restaurant can comfortably cope with. The seating area is surprisingly small. and on my stay in August 2004 there was a better selection of food on room service - just a restricted table d'hote menu in the main restaurant.
The staff were very helpful, and fixed a temporary problem with my bathroom plumbing quickly. But overall the hotel had something of a soulless, motel-type ambience.
Motel ambience, slow service
This isn't the worst hotel I've ever been to, but it's not great. We arrived around 9.30 to be told that the restaurant had shut but that the bar would do some food for us. But it had stopped doing hot food as well, so all we were left with were sandwiches. But it was the extraordinary wait that really depressed us. A cheese sandwich and a roast beef sandwich took three quarters of an hour to materialise. The lobby area is a bit down at heel, with various missing fixtures and fittings. The whole ambience is much closer to a motel than a hotel.
Rooms are perfectly pleasant. Breakfast was grim - like breakfast in a motorway service station.
Relaxed dining at the Bristol Hilton
The most relaxed dining experience ever at the Bristol Hilton. In fact so relaxed I managed to give up smoking due to the length of time I went without a cigarette. Us spaniards are laid back, but the staff at this restaurant are taking the paella! Wine turned up approx 30 mins after order, starters closely followed a mere 20 minutes later (cooked to perfection if you're used to camp-fire/survival-style cuisine) then after an hour and twenty minutes came the Asda 99p range stir-fried chinese delights. The ambience of Chandlers was reminiscent of the days I spent on survival in the Arctic Circle. There was a cold North wind blowing straight at us on our convieniently-right-next to the entrance-situated table. But most Importantly, our waiter should be awarded for his outstanding rapport with guests and diners alike. So visit the Bristol Hilton - not as cheap as Nicotinel but what the hell?
Abysmal service
A very comfortable hotel. That is to say, very comfortably the worst service I have ever experienced in a non third-world country. From the moment I checked-in, the staff carried the air of grudgingly fullfilling an obligation to make my stay reasonably pleasant. The rooms are clean and tidy, with most of the facilities you would expect, however the restaurant was sincerely lacking in any ambience, quality of service, and, most surprisingly, quality of food. I am only thankful that I stayed here alone, I would not want my wife to experience what is supposed to be considered a 'break'.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's Cabinet has agreed to a German-brokered prisoner exchange with Hezbollah. It is believed that under the terms of the deal, Israel would receive the bodies of two captured soldiers in return for the release of five Lebanese prisoners and the bodies of 10 more.
BBC News:
The Lebanese prisoners to be freed reportedly include Samir Qantar, in jail for murder since 1979.
Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said earlier that the two soldiers were dead. Their capture triggered Israel's offensive against Hezbollah in mid-2006.
The cabinet approved the German-brokered exchange by 22 votes out of 25 present at the meeting, Israeli radio reported.

Ecological integrity has been an umbrella concept guiding ecosystem management for several decades. Though plenty of definitions of ecological integrity exist, the concept is best understood through related concepts, chiefly, ecosystem health, biodiversity, native species, stressors, resilience and self-maintenance. Discussions on how ecological integrity may be relevant to complex human-nature ecosystems, besides those set aside for conservation, are growing in number. In the case of urban forests, no significant effort has yet been made to address the holistic concept of ecological integrity for the urban forest system. Preliminary connections between goals such as increasing tree health, maintaining canopy cover, and reducing anthropogenic stressors and the general notion of integrity exist. However, other related concepts, such as increasing biodiversity, the planting of native species, and the full meaning of ecosystem health beyond merely tree health have not been addressed profoundly as contributors to urban forest integrity. Meanwhile, other concepts such as resilience to change and self-maintenance are not addressed explicitly. In this paper we reveal two camps of interpretation of ecological integrity for urban forests that in turn rely on a particular definition of the urban forest ecosystem and a set of urban forest values. Convergence and integration of these values is necessary to bring a constructive frame of interpretation of ecological integrity to guide urban forest management into the future.

I booked into a studio room for a week when we arrived it was a very shabby part of the hotel you had to go pass the cars in the underground carpark pass the smelly bins through a dark alley way then up a lift it was discussing and it was dirty and very old it was nothing like it was advertised. I really believe this is false advertising in the ad it said it had a balcony which it did not after one night we booked out it was very disappointing as you believe what you read when you booking. I certainly will not be booking with Ridges again.

UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Joining forces for Nature
The American Veterinary Medical Association has joined the Step It Up! effort backed by the National Park Service and the Surgeon General's Office to promote walking, pointing to the health benefits for humans and their four-legged companions.
Biodiversity scenarios are a useful tool to help policymakers predict how flora and fauna will likely respond to future environmental conditions. Although changes to land use are a major driver of biodiversity loss, scenarios focus overwhelmingly on climate change, a new study shows. The researchers say this imbalance makes scenarios less credible, and make recommendations for developing more plausible projections.
Eradication of invasive mammal species is a strategy used to help conserve biodiversity on islands and restore populations of native species. Researchers have now assessed the success of this strategy globally, highlighting the importance of controlling invasive species to protect biodiversity on islands and achieve global conservation targets.
Voluntary non-monetary conservation — where citizens implement actions without a financial incentive — is an emerging approach to biodiversity protection that could be applied in many countries and environments, a new study shows. This study makes recommendations for actions, such as being simple and affordable, and calls for conservation scientists to recognise their value as a complementary tool alongside traditional market-based and coercive approaches, such as payment for ecosystem services and national parks.
The effects of climate change and climate variability on forest ecosystems are evident around the world and further impacts are unavoidable, at least in the short to medium term. Addressing the challenges posed by climate change will require adjustments to forest policies and changes to forest management plans and practices.
Join the biggest event of European Protected Areas! EUROPARC Conference 2016 is host and organised by the Parc Jura vaudois. Under the theme "We are Parks", the Conference will take place from 18 to 22 October 2016 in the Vallée de Joux and will bring together over 400 delegates from 36 European countries.
Barcelona, 1-3 February 2017 at the University of Barcelona, Spain. The aim of this conference is to identify the opportunities and constraints of use fire as a land management tool, from an environmental, social and economic perspectives and share the most novel research and technical expertise carried out in different scenarios around the world.
The final conference of the project StarTree (StarTree is a pan-European project to support the sustainable exploitation of forest resources for rural development) will take place from 13 to 14 October in Barcelona, Spain. This conference aims at exchanging new knowledge on wild forest products presenting novel approaches and scientific advancements in the field of wild forest products from forest management, production of wild products towards processing and marketing.
The Conference about "Green Infrastructure: Nature Based Solutions For Sustainable And Resilient Cities" will be held on 4-7 April 2017 in Orvieto, Italy. The main objective of the Conference is to show how a trans-disciplinary approach to urban Planning based on Green Infrastructure as Nature Based Solutions will enable maximization Ecosystem Services provision making future cities more resilient and sustainable.
The World Urban Parks Applied Research Working Group is seeking input from managers of urban parks, green infrastructure and urban forestry with this 10-15 minute survey. This survey aims to better understand the actual background and knowledge needs, but also collaboration needs of managers of Urban Parks, Green Infrastructure and Urban Forestry, with the scientific community.
The WWF European Policy Office in Brussels, Belgium is looking for a full time Senior Policy Officer, Agriculture and Sustainable Food Systems who will be responsible for leading the development and implementation of the WWF policy strategy which aims at advocating for a sustainable food policy in Europe and will be actively engaging in the upcoming reform of the Common European Agriculture Policy (CAP). Deadline for applications: 29 July 2016.

Both awards schemes are open to EU Member States, EU Candidate Countries, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Time limit for receipt of applications (both awards): 3 November 2016.
Many park visitors enjoy a walk in the woods, sometimes with a nature guide. But, two California state parks are offering a very different experience with guided forest therapy walks, which are recognized as a stress management activity.
The evidence that parks are important for our health, environments and well-being is well supported. To get these full benefits, however, people need to be able to access them. Many underserved communities lack this vital access to parks and green spaces which is why NRPA has launched the Safe Routes to Parks initiative. This campaign aims to implement environmental and policy strategies that create safe and equitable access to parks for all people.
One of UNEP's goals is to help build the capacity of professionals to tackle current and future ecological problems. Now UNEP, in cooperation with Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, is launching a new course on ecosystems. The Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) Wicked Problems, Dynamic solutions: The Ecosystem Approach and Systems Thinking will be disseminated through GUPES.
The direct impact of urbanization on vegetation growth is a negative one: the more built-up an area is, the less greenery it has because buildings and pavement replace surface area covered by plants. But urbanization also has indirect effects on enhancing vegetation growth.
Environment-health research has shown significant relationships between the quantity of green space in deprived urban neighbourhoods and people's stress levels. The focus of this paper is the nature of access to green space (i.e., its quantity or use) necessary before any health benefit is found.
European society faces a growing range of health and social problems. This report presents a summary of the evidence on the challenges, the role that nature can play in addressing these challenges, what different stakeholders are doing and can do to build on the health-social-nature synergies and elements of a road map for a way forward.

Definition of hypernym in English:
A word with a broad meaning that more specific words fall under; a superordinate. For example, color is a hypernym of red. Contrasted with hyponym.
Example sentences
- The WordNet online interface lets you browse the synonyms and hypernyms (X is a hypernym of Y if Y is a type of X) of far too many words.
- We evaluate the various approaches comparing their hypernym suggestion with the Dutch part of EuroWordNet.
- In fact, adding proper hypernyms to a synset can dramatically increase the inherited properties of that synset.
1970s: from hyper- 'beyond', on the pattern of hyponym.

Room was very clean. The staff was very friendly and made me feel at home. The breakfast was better than I experienced at home.
The hosts were very friendly, and they made a great breakfast too.
Clean and spacious, this is one of the best Bed and Breakfasts in Denver. Rooms are well decorated and clean, breakfast is first class, and the grounds are well kept. There are good restaurants within walking distance.
Mediocre Wi-Fi, limited off street parking, and the front door is confusing and difficult to open.
Atmosphere of room and surrounding grounds, it was quaint and relaxing. The staff was very personal be and helpful.
Not that I can think of
The people were amazing, room was perfect and really home-like.
Nothing. It was perfect
Absolutely amazing breakfast
The staff was friendly and helpful. In addition, the breakfasts were delicious, though served in a rather disorganized manner. I appreciated that they had a parking permit arrangement with the local gas station as the neighborhood was one in which it was hard to park.
The building is not in great condition. There are water marks on the ceilings and drooping tiles. In addition, some of the amenities are lacking. Our sheets had holes in them, for example. The breakfasts were good, but the breakfast room is cluttered and disorganized and not as polished as most B&B consumers are accustomed to.
Friendly atmosphere. The home mDe hospitality baskets wete a nice touch each day. Free parking.
It was all good.
Everything was very relaxed and comfortable. Breakfast was a treat Chatting with Michelle and John as well as the other guests was quite nice. And Zoe (greeter dog) was a friendly hostess and made us feel right at home
If cell phone service is important you may have an issue but don't have to go far to get a signal if you have to. Nice to unplug for a couple days

HEADLAND---Crime is everywhere and knowing how to react and what you can legally do to protect yourself is crucial.
"I would protect myself and my property."
Steve Haller has lived in Headland for 31 years and says when it comes down to crime, he's a bit concerned but not afraid.
"I think I would probably be armed and I would say something to them," said Haller.
and if saying something doesn't work,
"They would be shot," said Haller.
Last Monday police say farmer Mike Johnson was shot and killed on County Road 83 in Henry County while trying to keep his property from being taken.
And Wednesday night police say an Enterprise homeowner was shot with his own gun after confronting a man who was breaking into his car.
Cindy Davis owns a floral and antiques shop in downtown Headland.
She says if she was being robbed, her first reaction is to call the police but in the case of a shoplifter,
"I would confront them," said Davis.
She says if she can prevent it she'll try.
"You have to decide how much risk you're willing to take, there's nothing in this shop that's worth my life," said Davis.
Some residents say protecting their property is important but protecting their loved ones means more.
"Try to find something, wait for them to come in the house and hit them, where they won't hurt me or my family, i got kids here," said Headland resident Raychel Lewis.
So you're probably wondering what does police say you should do.
Well law enforcement officials say all of these people are right.
"If you do have a firearm and you do feel comfortable confronting this person i believe in everybody's right to protect their property and protect their life," said Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes.
However, if you do use your firearm make sure you believe your life is threatened.
In such a case, Sheriff Hughes says law enforcement will make sure the facts come out.
"If your life is in danger the last thing you should be thinking about Is the Consequences of having to shoot someone," said Hughes.
The Sheriff went on to say that there have been four justifiable homicides in Houston County since he's been in office and if you do have a firearm, make make sure you know how to use it.
We tried contacting Headland police to get the latest information on the murder of farmer Mike Johnson.
We have not heard back from them yet today (Monday).
If you have any information in either of these cases, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously.

Does SMPTV offer financial aid?
At this time the SMPTV program is able to offer only 3 partial scholarships to its highest ranked applicants. Unfortunately, no other form of grants, scholarships, teaching assistanships, fellowships or work-study opportunities are available. However, limited financial need-based loans are available to US citizens, who can obtain further information by visiting the Office of Financial Aid.
How much does the SMPTV program cost?
The total cost of tuition and related fees for the year is approximately $51,000. Please also keep in mind that the cost of living in Los Angeles for that year can run between $10,000 and $20,000. Following is a link regarding costs: http://music.usc.edu/admission/finaid/
Can I work a part-time job while enrolled?
SMPTV is an extremely intensive program, and generally leaves little time for part-time work during the school year. In addition, students are expected to attend all classes, scoring sessions, and other events. Since many of these events happen in the evenings and on weekends, and the schedule changes from week to week, maintaining a job during the school year is logistically very difficult. For these reasons, holding a part-time job while enrolled in SMPTV is highly discouraged.
Do I need a GRE score to apply?
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test. Applicants to the SMPTV program are NOT required to take the GRE.
What are my job prospects after SMPTV?
We do not have a job placement service; however, the SMPTV experience includes the opportunity to meet many industry professionals, which often leads to work prospects.
What gear/hardware/software do I need?
As access to lab time is limited, each SMPTV student will need his/her own computer and complement of software. Incoming students who do not already have a studio setup are encouraged to discuss the requirements with their instructors at the start of the year, as music technology changes rapidly.

Always a family favorite and they didn't even notice the difference when I re-invented it using low fat ingredients and turkey instead of beef. The best thing about this meal is how much fun you can have making it. Since it is more of a "stew" I have added all kinds of different vegetables and sometimes even put left over pot roast in with it. Have fun and be creative!Halloween - Autumn Variation: Make this recipe just as described below but remove the potatoes and add one can (15oz) of pumpkin puree or 2 cups fresh pumpkin peeled and cubed, 1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice and 3 Tbls. of brown sugar!

British police say a DNA test has confirmed a New Zealand
girl who looks strikingly like Madeleine McCann is not the
missing youngster.
A spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan Police told APNZ this
morning that the requested sample from the Queenstown girl
had been tested.
"Following a DNA submission we are now satisfied the girl
identified in New Zealand is not Madeleine McCann," the
spokeswoman said.
British police had requested the DNA sample after an alleged
reported sighting of Madeleine in New Zealand, almost six
years after she went missing during a family holiday in
Portugal at the age of three.
There have been several other reported sightings of Madeleine
in the Queenstown region in recent years and police said DNA
sampling was a conclusive way to establish the identity of
the New Zealand girl.
New Zealand police said the DNA requested by Scotland Yard
was given voluntarily.

Getting in and out of a truck bed isn't easy, especially if you're carrying an 80-pound bag of cement. The new Elephant Stand provides an additional step for convenient access to your truck's cargo space. The 9 1/2-inch by 16-inch step attaches to the truck's trailer hitch and can support up to 600 pounds. Because it connects directly to the truck, the step has some bounce to it, further lessening the load on your knees and back. When not in use, the stand swivels under the truck. It comes with a 2-inch towing ball attached. Price: $170. 651-271-5062. elephantstand.com.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The Birmingham Zoo has a new resident.
She's a 40-pound female Greater Kudu named Kenya.
The Birmingham News reports she was born Tuesday and zoo officials say she appears to be healthy.
Zoo officials say the baby is on view to the public and nurses each day with her nine-year-old mother, Priscilla.
She will continue to nurse for about six months.
The new calf can be seen in the Africa area of the zoo.
She might be hard to see at times as she exhibits her natural behavior be hiding from other animals.
The Greater Kudu is a large deer-like animal that is native to Africa.

Yager development has their work cut out for them, moving from creating Spec Ops: The Line to Dead Island 2. Still, considering how divisive Dead Island's initial release was, Yager should have a great idea on what works well and what doesn't. What clearly works? Cooperative shooting with customizable classes and lots of zombie killing. What doesn't work? Apparently islands. Dead Island 2 takes place in California.
Certain areas of California have already been shown, including the Santa Monica Pier and Hollywood as well as various locations in San Francisco. How these locations will be used in-game is unclear, though it has been confirmed that Dead Island 2 will feature both cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes.
Other changes include more fearsome, but fragile zombies in order to make combat more tense in the immediate. Other mechanics like rage and weapon combination crafting will also be returning. So long as there's plenty of zombie smashing, fans will almost certainly be back for more.

Data collection is a fundamental function provided by wireless sensor networks. How to efficiently collect sensing data from all sensor nodes is critical to the performance of sensor networks. In this paper, we aim to understand the theoretical limits of data collection in a TDMA-based sensor network in terms of possible and achievable maximum capacity. Previously, the study of data collection capacity has concentrated on large-scale random networks. However, in most of the practical sensor applications, the sensor network is not uniformly deployed and the number of sensors may not be as huge as in theory. Therefore, it is necessary to study the capacity of data collection in an arbitrary network. In this paper, we first derive the upper and lower bounds for data collection capacity in arbitrary networks under protocol interference and disk graph models. We show that a simple BFS tree-based method can lead to order-optimal performance for any arbitrary sensor networks. We then study the capacity bounds of data collection under a general graph model, where two nearby nodes may be unable to communicate due to barriers or path fading, and discuss performance implications. Finally, we provide discussions on the design of data collection under a physical interference model or a Gaussian channel model.

I'm dead again! =( We need for the main game to start now. Also, people need to switch votes to Rubik's Cube.
Has anyone ever run a Terminator (T2, obviously) or Blade Runner themed game of werewolf? The teams would break down along the lines of Arnold + humans vs. T-1000 + Terminators and Deckard + Blade Runners vs. Roy Batty + Replicants, respectively. Arnold/T-1000 and Deckard/Roy Batty would have to be special roles in their respective games, of course. Just throwing these ideas out there if someone wanted to run with one of them (either one would be awesome).
Welp, I'm dead now in the Lovecraft game. That sucks, but at least now I can focus on one game instead of two.
Both of those sound like swell ideas for a theme. Even if we do "normal" games with some extra special roles, having a good theme to go off can go a long way.
A game based on Archer, in particular the pilot (Mole Hunt)?
But the vigilante has to shoot whoever ends up being Brett
Already thought that somebody could be him just to make them super-susceptible to dying. Like, there's a chance that any attack will fail and kill them instead. Bullets missing and whatnot.
Oh my god that's brilliant
"Brett - There is a 1 in 4 chance that any fatal attack will miss and hit you instead."
Somebody needs to be Barry too obviously.
Barry would be the special Wolf, naturally.
I am filled with sadness. To be killed by robots after spending my life being terrified by the prospect of being killed by robots is less than pleasant.
Archer werewolf sounds awesome!
Alright who wants to run another concurrent game? If nobody steps up I'll take the helm for a game of classic werewolves while the big one is working away.
Ok at any rate, we can start taking players now, and if somebody wants to step up to run the game or a variant they have in mind I'd be all for that.
Player list:
1. Byronic
I'm in.
Player list:
1. Byronic Stud
2. Usedtabe
Legitimately Lol'd @ "stud". Caught me off guard with that one.
Nominate myself for playing Byron's game.

I noticed that in this plugin when a user updates any information in their profile, the meta description gets erased. Is there any way to prevent this? Or alternatively, is there any way to allow non-admin users to see the meta description box so they can fill it in themselves? Currently the plugin only allows admin users to see the meta description box. It would be nice if other users could see this box as well. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

We have a Netgear WGT624 set up as an access point to provide wireless access on our wired network. The wired network has one PC acting as a DHCP server and internet gateway - the WGT624 is set up with a fixed IP and DHCP turned off, and is connected to one port of the wired network's switch. It all works OK except that it won't hand out more than 1 IP address to wireless devices. If a second one comes along is just sits there trying to get an IP address. If we turn off the connected device, the other one connects straight away.
My settings are (only stuff different to factory reset settings listed):
changed SSID region Australia channel 3 mode to b only (thought this might the problem) security WPA-PSK, set passphrase fixed IP address 192.168.0.254 (gateway is 192.168.0.1) DHCP off
Hardware is NetGear WGT624 V2 Firmware V4.2.11_1.0.1
If I do an IP scan on the network the addresses taken are (192.168.0...) :
1(gateway, wired, fixed IP)
176(PC, wired, DHCP)
185(PC, wired, DHCP)
187(PC, wired, DHCP)
209(Android S4 phone, wireless, DHCP)
254(WGT624, wired, fixed IP)
The S4 works fine. If I try to connect from any other wireless device I can't. The gateway is using the Win XP internet connection sharing.
If I turn off wifi on the phone and then turn it on again, it always gets address 209.
If I turn off wifi on the phone and then turn on wifi on an android tablet, it gets allocated address 77.
If I turn off wifi on the tablet and then turn it on again, it always gets address 77, and the S4 phone won't connect.
What I tried next was setting the wireless devices to all get static IP addresses 100, 101 and 102. All 3 devices (2x S4, one Sony tablet S) connect OK and seem to work.
So it appears as if this might be a workaround, but I would rather DHCP was working than having to set up anybody who visits with a static IP address.
Any thought on this appreciated.

This is an illustration of the opening words of chapter 38 of the Book of Job. Blake quotes them in the main title of the print. The Lord appears and asks Job a series of questions, opening with 'Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?' The clockwise action of the Lord's appearance in the whirlwind permeates the whole of Blake's image. The trees in the bottom margin are bent low by the force of the wind, but, like Job in his adversity, they remain unbroken.

Newtown High School
Newtown, Connecticut
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, Governor. To all the families, first responders, to the community of Newtown, clergy, guests — Scripture tells us: "…do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away…inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."
We gather here in memory of twenty beautiful children and six remarkable adults. They lost their lives in a school that could have been any school; in a quiet town full of good and decent people that could be any town in America. TContinue Reading

After flags were ordered to be flown at half staff to honor the victims of the Stony Hook school shooting in Connecticut, an emotional President Barack Obama briefed the media at 3:16p.m, visibly pausing with a trembling lip, keeping his eyes off the media as he wiped away at least two escaping tears.
He was addressing the morning's tragic events in Newtown, CT where 24 year-old Ryan Lanza slaughtered the school principal plus 20 children between age 5 and 10, most of them kindergarten students in his mother's class. His father was found dead in New Jersey and his mother also killed, both in their homes.
"We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years," said President Obama who stated that when he heard the news, he not only acted as president but also as a parent.
He fought back tears by consistently blinking and took frequent breaths between speaking.
"They had their entire lives ahead of them," he struggled to say. "Birthdays, graduations, weddings… kids of their own." TContinue Reading

It has not been nine months since Trayvon Martin was shot and killed in Florida. Now, another black teenager has been laid to rest after being killed under suspicious circumstances.
Michael David Dunn, the 45-year-old vice president of Dunn & Dunn Data Systems in Vero Beach, was in Jacksonville recently weekend for his son's wedding. According to records, on Friday when Dunn, a gun collector, encountered Jordan Russell Davis, 17, a student at a Jacksonville magnet school, Samuel W. Wolfson High, in a SUV in the parking lot when Dunn pulled up next to them in a car and asked them to turn down their music. Davis and Dunn exchanged words, and Dunn pulled a gun and shot eight or nine times, striking Jordan twice. TContinue Reading
