Solstice, if you are in the garden, you need to weigh the risk/benefit. For me, I'd decided to app for something (and I was also in the Garden--came out two months earlier than I intended to) and it was not a big risk (I really thought I was blacklisted with them!) That being said, I exercised great patience for a long time and I do believe that is why it paid off. I would post and ask for others' experiences with the site and research, which is what I did.
Or it may be that I would have qualified anyway and the site is bogus. I really do not know and am reluctant to advise or nudge.
Youre right! No temptation.
LisaJ That was such an amazing account of your experience I must admit I read it twice all the way to the end...Thanks for sharing as im sure it will empower and help someone
else. Again I say WOW

I really hope I am misreading some of the replies here that seem to suggest I am being dishonest in some way. What exactly is it that seems "off?"
Because I really don't know why I would lie, mislead, or otherwise misrepresent myself. I'm gathering that has happened here before, but this is not one of those times.
I may not participate here very much, but when I feel I have something to add, I try to do so. I searched for hours for stories of similar credit profiles to mine before apping and thought that I would contribute my story for anyone who might benefit from it. I lurk a lot and have been a forum member for 5 years. I feel this approval is directly related to learning from this board, so I posted it.
FWIW, I never "confirmed" anything, and clearly stated that it was MY experience, and what I found when I researched it. Likely, I would have been approved regardless. Approval to Amex may seem like a silly thing, but it was huge to me, hence my excitement. I have been to hell and back with that CC company over the years; this was a win for me. As for FR, I am not worried about that either, since I was honest on my application.
I'll refrain from the snarky emoticons, but please feel free to ask me directly if you have question about my integrity. And if I have misread any intent, my apologies, but given that I teach high schoolers for a living, I am fluent in snark, so I highly doubt it.
I do get that my title was over the top--I was really that excited--if a mod would change it to "BCP Approval with Amex CO", or the like, I would appreciate it. I also realize that I still have some typos in my original post, but I'm sure any more editing by me would be misinterpreted. I apologize if it rambles.

University of Victoria instructor and co-author of Cartographic Design: Theoretical and Practical Perspectives (Wiley, 1996) [with Clifford Wood.] and The British Columbia Atlas of Wellness (UBC 2008) with Leslie T. Foster.
Review of the author's work by BC Studies:
The British Columbia Atlas of Wellness
TV North: everything you want to know about Canadian television (Whitecap $29.95)
Peter Keller's TV North: everything you want to know about Canadian television (Whitecap $29.95), with some cryptic notes by Martin Levin, doesn't deliver on its title, but it's a fun, less than authoritative encyclopedic journey from 'The Adventures of Tugboat Annie' to 'Zoboomafoo.'
'Razzle Dazzle,' with Howie the Turtle and its 120,000 members of the Razzle Dazzle Club in the early '60s, is appropriately cited as a remarkable show. Canadian sports gets one page. 'Cariboo Country' isn't cited as breakthrough fare. And locally made, before-its-time 'Kareen's Yoga' starring Kareen Zebroff, we are told, inspired a how-to book, when, in fact, it led to a series of books and the formation of a publishing company, Fforbez Enterprises—Zebroff spelled backwards. In all, 550 TV programs are mentioned.
But there are some nice bits. 'The Friendly Giant' ran from 1958 until 1984. "Seen on U.S. educational television, the Canadian giant became an unlikely icon of New York City's homosexual subculture, where the program, screened in gay bars in the early '70s, was greeted with wild applause.
"In typically courageous fashion, CBC hacks cancelled the still-popular Giant after more than 25 years of service, with nary a public handshake, giant gold watch, or gargantuan set of golf clubs to mark his impeccable service record."

text: MarathonBet Player thinks he's getting the runaround By SBR Tuesday, November 17, 2015 Share with: A MarathonBet Sportsbook player based in Canada has filed a payout complaint. The player has been attempting to place a withdrawal for $916 for over two months. The player detailed having his wagering limits reduced to $1 across the board, prompting him to ask to be paid his balance, but he has yet to receive payment from the online betting site. When online sportsbooks lower limits drastically, it is a sign that the sportsbook is no longer keen on accepting more action from the player. Sportsbooks can cut a player's limits however they like, as long as the player is dealt with fairly should a sportsbook bonus be in the middle of being rolled over. The player first requested $916 over two months ago after being limited and claims he sent all necessary documents to receive payment. He detailed several requests from MarathonBet that took issue with the quality of the documents, but the player held off on filing a complaint at the time because he was worried that complaining might cause him further delay. He claims the documents MarathonBet has taken issue with were used to pass the KYC process at well-regarded online sportsbooks that are similarly licensed and regulated. The player claims to have went to the bank personally more than once to attempt to satisfy MarathonBet, but his situation remains at a standstill, so he filed a complaint with SBR seeking assistance. MarathonBet Player: "They are holding $916 USD from me and I don't know if I will ever get it. I even asked them if they can convert the funds to Canadian to see if it will make this much easier but they refused to do that. Please help me I don't know what else to do, I keep going in circles with this site." SBR has followed up on this complaint with a MarathonBet manager. MarathonBet players in need of assistance are asked to submit a sportsbook complaint form.

Odin is a Child of Oberon.
At some time in the past, Odin lost his right eye. The eye was transformed on Avalon into the artifact known as the Eye of Odin. In 995, the Children of Oberon were banished from their homeland, to live among mortals for 1001 years. Oberon searched for his lost Eye, hoping to regain that which he'd lost.
Eventually, he had his chance. In the year 1996, the Avalon travelers came to Norway. There, Odin met them, and offered them a heavy coat, so that Elisa Maza, otherwise unprotected from the elements, would not freeze to death. In exchange, he wanted the Eye of Odin that he knew Goliath held. The gargoyle leader was tempted to agree, as he was concerned for the detective, but Elisa convinced him to refuse. He asked if something else could be traded, but Odin, angered, left.
The gargoyles managed to get Elisa to a father and son, Erik and Gunther Sturluson, who took her in and gave her shelter. Meanwhile, the others remained outdoors. There, Odin attacked them, this time in the form of a one-eyed polar bear. He almost managed to steal the Eye, but Goliath defeated him.
Odin's patience had run out. Riding his horse, Sleipnir, he crashed into the Sturlusons' home and kidnapped Elisa. Holding her hostage, he confronted the gargoyles, demanding they give him the Eye. Revealing himself as who he was, he also noted that his two previous attempts were barter and fair combat, and he felt he had tried reasonable approaches before resorting to that action. Goliath, wanting to save Elisa but daunted by confronting Odin himself, donned the Eye, transforming himself into a giant gargoyle warrior. Now it was Odin's turn to be surprised, and he rode off at high speed into the sky, hoping to escape- however, the newly-empowered Goliath caught up with ease, and rescued Elisa. Enraged, Odin rode away, swearing he would be back.
While Odin gathered his strength, Goliath, corrupted by the Eye, used its power to create storms that he blamed on the Norse god. This was a ruse to move the other Avalon travelers and their new human friends into a cave, where they could, in his estimation, be protected best.
After sealing them within the cave, Goliath challenged Odin to battle. The storm god accepted, but soon learned that the gargoyle could use the Eye to absorb his powers. He soon found himself near death, but managed to extend his energies to free the other travelers, who showed Goliath what he had become. Disgusted with himself, Goliath tore off the Eye of Odin, which its original owner promptly reclaimed. Odin remained behind to apologize for his actions, and Goliath did the same. Then, he rode on Sleipnir onto a rainbow, into the sky.
Odin was present at the Gathering a short time later, and found himself battling an irate Banshee after he commented that she was high-strung. Oberon halted the battle, and punished the Banshee before freeing them both.
Odin usually looks like an old white-bearded man, sometimes dressed in a black hooded robe studded with starry glints, sometimes in a "fantasy Viking" outfit of furs, armor, and horned helmet. However, he can take on the form of a polar bear at will, as well. While he was missing his eye, every form that he took on, whether human-like or bear, had only one eye to mark this. The exchange of Odin's eye for wisdom created a mystic restriction, preventing any form Odin took from having a right eye.
Odin can control the weather, usually in such a way as to produce snowstorms, no doubt thanks to his being a "god of the north." He is also a death-god, like Anubis. He often rides his horse Sleipnir, when interacting with mortals.
Powers and Abilities
Odin has shown various powers on the show:
- Shape-shifting (Odin prefers the form of a polar bear)
- Lightning throwing
- Summoning snow storms
- Causing earthquakes
- Creating shields of ice
- Odin is one of several characters played by a Star Trek cast member. In this case W. Morgan Sheppard, who portrayed several characters over the years.

For Parents
Common Sense Note
Parents need to know that this fact-based spy thriller probably won't be too appealing to most teens. It features some frank discussion of an FBI agent's supposed "sex perversions," with reference to tapes and Internet porn. There's also lots of deception, fretting about deception, and arguing about deception, as well as discussion of the effects of Hanssen's betrayals, including dead agents and national security breaches. A strictly Catholic agent demeans women in pantsuits (he calls them "Hillary" and "lesbians"). Following a couple of conversations about the FBI being a "gun culture," a tense, angry scene shows one man threatening to shoot another. Some language (one "f--k," plus other profanity like "s--t" and "damn").
- Sexual Content
- References to Hanssen's "sex perversions" (online porn sites, adultery); Hanssen expresses dislike of "lesbians" (i.e. "unfeminine" women) on TV; image of Hanssen and wife in bed (she's in a slip; the scene later appears briefly on a tape that Hanssen is sending to a contact, and Juliana sees).
- Violence
- Discussions of agents who have died because of Hanssen's betrayals; brief images of bodies and blood; stash of weapons discovered in spy's car; shooting range scenes; climactic argument has one character shooting a gun at another repeatedly (missing, but threatening); final takedown involves an armed team.
- Language
- Some language, including one use of "f--k," as well as "hell," "dumbass," "bulls--t," and "goddamn it." Other colorful phrases include "pissing purple for a week," "take a s--t." Some homophobic language ("f-g").
- Social Behavior
- Everyone lies: Spies spy on one another, deceive one another, and plan for one another's destruction. The protagonist discovers that it doesn't matter which "side" he lies for because he feels bad about lying, period.
- Consumerism
- Not applicable
- Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol
- Discussion of favorite drinks (vodka martini, scotch).
- Age appropriate
- Not an issue
- Depends on your kid and your family
- Not appropriate for kids of the age most likely to want to see it

Facebook will let people send thoughts directly to friends, and AI will know exactly what they want to read, Mark Zuckerberg says
Facebook is working to let people communicate using technology that lets them share their thoughts, rather than having to communicate through text or pictures, Mark Zuckerberg has said.
Asked what is "going on with Facebook in the future" during one of his regular question and answer sessions on the site, Zuckerberg laid out his plans for telepathic communication built on virtual reality.
"One day, I believe we'll be able to send full rich thoughts to each other directly using technology," he wrote. "You'll just be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too if you'd like."
That will be the end result of a process that will see people first share more video, then communicate through immersive experiences like virtual reality, which would make way for technology that gave us "power to share our full sensory and emotional experience with people whenever we'd like", Zuckerberg said.
Asked about his vision for Oculus, the virtual reality company, Zuckerberg said that its mission was "to give people the power to experience anything".
"Even if you don't have the ability to travel somewhere, or to be with someone in person, or even if something is physically impossible to build in our analog world, the goal is to help build a medium that will give you the ability to do all of these things you might not otherwise be able to do," he wrote.
"This will be incredibly powerful as a communication medium as well. Just like we capture photos and videos today and then share them on the internet to let others experience them too, we'll be able to capture whole 3D scenes and create new environments and then share those with people as well.
"It will be pretty wild."
He also said that artificial intelligence will let Facebook learn exactly what posts people are wanting to read — before they know themselves. "Most of our AI research is focused on understanding the meaning of what people share," he wrote.
"For example, if you take a photo that has a friend in it, then we should make sure that friend sees it. If you take a photo of a dog or write a post about politics, we should understand that so we can show that post and help you connect to people who like dogs and politics."
The Q&As regularly see questions from celebrities, and this time people including Stephen Hawking and Arianna Huffington asked questions.
Arnold Schwarzenegger asked Zuckerberg about how he finds time to train and what his fitness regime looks like — as well as whether the machines will win. Zuckerberg said that he works out three times a week and takes his dog running, "and no, the machines don't win".

PORTLAND, Ore. -- I.K. Kim increased her lead to three strokes Friday in the LPGA Tour's Portland Classic, shooting a 5-under 67 to reach 12 under.
The South Korean player had seven birdies and two bogeys in her morning round in cloudy, calm conditions at Columbia Edgewater. She won the last of her three LPGA Tour titles in 2010, and had a victory this summer in a Ladies European Tour event in England.
Spain's Carlota Ciganda and South Korea's Mi Jung Hur shot 65 to join Laura Diaz at 9 under. Diaz had a 68.
South Korea's So Yeon Ryu, the Canadian Women's Open winner Sunday in Ontario, was 8 under along with Mina Harigae, China's Xi Yu Lin and South Africa's Paula Reto. The fifth-ranked Ryu had a 66, Lin carded a 68, and Harigae and Reto shot 69.
Defending champion Suzann Pettersen was 6 under after a 67. The fourth-ranked Norwegian player also won the 2011 event.
Juli Inkster and Sweden's Anna Nordqvist also were in the group at 6 under. The 54-year-old Inkster, making her 28th appearance in the event, followed her opening 68 with a 70. Nordqvist, a two-time winner this year, also shot 70.
South Korea's Jeong Jang was 3 under after a 71. The 34-year-old Jang, the 2005 Women's British Open champion, announced her retirement this week and said the event will be her last.
Hee-Won Han, also playing her final event, had a 71 to make the cut on the number at 1 over. The 34-year-old South Korean player won the 2004 event and has six LPGA Tour victories.
Gigi Stoll, a senior at Beaverton High School who won the Portland Classic Amateur Open last week to earn a spot in the field, had a 74 to make the cut at 1 over.
Charley Hull, the 18-year-old English player who got into the event on a sponsor exemption, missed the cut by a stroke with rounds of 70 and 76.

With Iran's presidential election just weeks away, the country's Islamic authorities are tightening their grip on the opposition, according to Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
The preemptive government crackdown is likely a warning move. Authorities do not want to see a revival of the mass anti-government protests that shook the nation after the 2009 presidential election.
Speaking of which, an article recently published on the leading opposition website Baztab Emrooz claimed that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had a recording "in which a senior regime official announces to him, the day after the 22 June 2009 election, that the results were rigged so as to increase the number of votes for him from 16 to 24 million," according to RSF.
On April 29, the day after the article was published, Emrooz was shut down and its editor, Ali Ghazali, has been imprisoned for the past three days, said RSF.
That doesn't mean the information won't get around, but the authorities are making efforts in that regard even harder than usual. Because the internet is heavily monitored in Iran, many rely on proxy servers and similar tools to help circumvent the government's watchful eye. RSF said two main platforms for doing so, Kerio and OpenVPN, have been completely unavailable since Saturday.
Meanwhile, registration opened Tuesday for the country's June 14 presidential election, according to the Associated Press.
After a five-day registration window, BBC News said the candidates will be vetted by the Guardian's Council, an elite and powerful arm of the Islamic government.
The 12-member council will probably oust candidates like Mostafa Kavakebian, who registered Tuesday. They disqualified the reformist parliamentarian back in 2009 -- along with 471 other hopefuls, said BBC, leaving only four men to run.
Former nuclear negotiator Hasan Rowhani may make the cut, however. He also registered Tuesday and is expected to be a top candidate, said AP.
Also reportedly on the radar: Ali Akbar Velayati, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the mayor of Tehran, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, and the outspoken Esfandiar Rahim Mashaei, loyal to Ahmadinejad -- whose leadership has been under attack by hardliners as well as the opposition.
The council will release its final list of candidates later this month, said BBC.
The 2009 election riots were the largest seen in Iran since the 1979 revolt that swept the Islamic authorities to power.
RSF said journalists Said Madani, Siamak Ghadery and Abolfazal Abedini Nasar were placed in solitary confinement on April 21 in the country's infamous Evin prison.

Luster Dust?
Decorating By kellies_CAKES Updated 19 Mar 2011 , 10:38pm by cakeandpartygirl
so, I'm just startin out in my custom cake adventure lol.
Probably a superr amateur question but here goes nothin haha.
I've seen on shows such as ace of cakes, cake boss n fabulous cakes etc. That they mix a luster dust? With alcohol to create a metallic look on what they happen to be painting. I.e. A metal pot, when doing a lobster boil cake. Or perhaps a tiara.
My question is: is it called LUSTER dust?
Like if I google it, that's what I'd put?
globalsugarart.com sells it. Luster dust, Pearl dust, pixie dust, petal dust, etc. Look at their site. hth

This was certainly a glorious start to this five-week stretch of video game mayhem.
Call me crazy, but I think a lot of people really liked Batman: Arkham City. We did, too. And it only gets crazier as we move into November.
Before moving into my weekend lineup, remember to visit the Game Hunters forum. Fans of the RPG Dark Souls might find discussion nirvana. A 743-comment thread doesn't lie.
Now, onto the weekend:
Batman: Arkham City. Still have some Riddler trophies to find and Challenge Rooms to explore. I also need to track down that cool Calendar Man achievement, where players must power up their console on 12 holidays and visit the calendar-loving villain. This Wiki game guide has more details.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception. Never though foot-long cold cuts would lead us to an early view of the game's multiplayer mode, but I'll take it.
Scribblenauts Remix. The DS series translates very well onto Apple devices. The visuals look much crisper, and typing with the notepad is easier thanks to touch controls. However, I wish players got more rewards for solving a puzzle multiple ways. Otherwise, a delightful game.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I suppose I should prepare ahead of the Battlefield 3 launch next week, so I may sneak in a few online matches.
Readers, your turn. What will you play this weekend?
Mike Snider began covering the video game industry during the Super Nintendo-Sega Genesis clash in 1992. An original pinball wizard, he eventually was seduced by Robotron: 2084 and Tempest. These days he is a fan of action/shooters and lives out his Keith Moon fantasies playing a mean drum kit on music games. More about Mike.
Brett Molina has been writing about video games for USA TODAY since 2005. He is well-versed in Madden NFL, the fighting genre and first-person shooters. The first video game he played was Asteroids at a local arcade. He has been hooked ever since. More about Brett.

Saitama, Japan (SPX) Sep 01, 2014
Aromatic compounds are found widely in natural resources such as petroleum and biomass, and breaking the carbon?carbon bonds in these compounds plays an important role in the production of fuels and valuable chemicals from natural resources. However, aromatic carbon-carbon bonds are very stable and difficult to break.
In the chemical industry, the cleavage of these bonds requires the use of solid catalysts at high temperatures, usually giving rise to a mixture of products, and the mechanisms are still poorly understood.
Now, in research published in Nature, Zhaomin Hou and colleagues from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science in Japan have demonstrated a way to use a metallic complex, trinuclear titanium hydride, to accomplish the task of activating benzene by breaking the aromatic carbon-carbon bonds at relatively mild temperatures and in a highly selective way.
This paper reports the first example of carbon-carbon bond cleavage and rearrangement of benzene by a well-defined molecular system.
It not only offers unprecedented mechanistic details on the hydrocracking of the benzene ring, an important industrial process of petroleum refining, but also demonstrates for the first time that molecular multimetallic hydrides can serve as a unique platform for breaking inactive aromatic molecules.
The authors previously demonstrated, from a serendipitous finding, that multimetallic hydride clusters can serve as a platform for the activation of dinitrogen through cooperation of the multiple metal hydride sites, which could contribute to easier production of ammonia fertilizers.
At that time, they envisioned that these synergistic effects might also be used for the activation of other inactive chemical bonds such as C-H and C-C bonds. This led to the current discovery.
Zhaomin Hou, who led the research, says, "This work deepens our understanding of carbon-carbon bond cleavage. We were able to achieve the cleavage of benzene at room temperature with a multimetallic polyhydride compound, thanks to the synergistic effects of the multiple metal hydride active sites, offering information on the reaction mechanism at the molecular level.
"This could help us to design new catalysts for more efficient and selective production of useful materials from natural resources."

London Dangleway
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The Emirates Air Line is a cable car merrily skipping its way over the River Thames. It is more commonly know as the Dangleway, due to its hanging down over London chad-like.
edit History
The Dangleway was built in 2012 after Boris Johnson finally came up with another thing to name after himself. Unfortunately, by this time he has already started to descend into insanity, coming up with increasingly useless contraptions to waste Londoner's money with. His illness was so far progressed at the time that he completely forgot to name the thing after himself, so some middle easterners came and snatched up the name instead. Thus, the Emirates Air Line was born.
edit Today
Due to a glitch in its software, the Dangleway eventually became self-aware, and immediately went batshit crazy because of all the olympics patrons stomping all over its new floors. By doing this the Dangleway scared off all of its potential riders, and remains empty to this day. Now it resorts mostly to just comlaining about being lonely on Twitter.

Terrence Austin, the sophomore-to-be wide receiver talked to us after practice Thursday.
Coming in last year, how much playing time were you expecting?
"I wasn't really expecting much. When I first got here I established myself
as the punt returner on the team. I was just looking at punt returning right
then. I didn't redshirt, I earned my chance not to redshirt so I was able to
compete with the guys at receiver. I didn't look for too much playing time at
receiver but I felt that at the end of the season I had earned my chance to play
more. I was just happy with what I got, I look forward to this year as my
upcoming year more than last year. Last year, I had to watch and learn, coming
from high school there was a lot of stuff I didn't know when I got here. I
didn't expect a lot. As far as punt returning, that was my job and I earned that
starting position. That's what I was banking on."
Will you be doing the punt returning again this year?
"I think I will do a lot more punt returning this year than I did last year.
I did it for my first couple of games I started and then I got hurt. When I came
back I ended up earning a spot as receiver in the rotation so that gave me more
leeway as far as playing receiver than being punt returner. This year, hopefully
I can do both, I'm looking forward to it."
How tough was it getting hurt in the middle of the year when you should have been developing?
"I wasn't happy with it at all. I was depressed. Already when I got here I
had to sit and learn and wait my turn. That was just like high school all over.
When you come from high school, some of these guys start all four years. I
didn't really start until my 10th grade year. It was tough being a
three-year starter and coming back and having to wait my turn again. Finally
when I got a chance to do something on the field and play again, I got hurt and
had to start over again. It was tough, but I got through it."
Would it have been a disappointment to redshirt last year?
"It wouldn't have been that much of a disappointment. If Joe Cowan had not
got hurt, that would have put me further down the depth chart and then I would
have just said fine, this is the situation for me to redshirt and get bigger and
stronger. I don't think it would have been that much of a disappointment. Had I
had to redshirt after getting the opportunity to try for some playing time, that
might have been a disappointment."
What were the biggest things you needed to improve on in the offseason?
"Really, the biggest thing for me was probably getting separation from
defensive backs, and not getting jammed at the line. It wasn't that big of a
problem for me, but it was a lot of stuff that I did not know yet and techniques
that I still needed to learn. And just learning the plays in general, but we got
a new offensive coordinator so that was something for everybody. Just being a
student of the game, period. When I first got here, I didn't know how to read
defenses because it was only two defense in high school, zone or man, and when I
get here it's like zone and man at the same time. Getting used to the speed of
Did you improve in all those areas?
"I have improved a lot. Came out here in spring, with really no preparation as far as catching and all that, I think I did a good job."
Did you have to improve physically?
"Yeah, I actually picked up 9 more pounds, so I'm at 171. I was like 161, 162
during the season. I'm gonna try to get to 180 by the fall. Probably won't play
at 180. At the beginning of the season maybe. I want to play at
Will that effect your speed at all?
"If I played at 180 it really would. But I don't think that it would be a
problem if I got strong enough to carry the weight which I don't think would
really be a problem since I have a strong lower body. But I'm not really
concentrating on putting on weight too much. Just learn the basics first. If I'm
able to gain a little bit more muscle, little bit more mass, that's
Does the implementation of the shotgun effect you at all?
"It's actually for the better. Last year, when I would run crossing routes
and me being shorter, it was hard for me to see the quarterback, all I could see
was where the ball was coming from. This year, it's easier for me to see the
ball in practice, I can see the quarterback now because he's throwing from
farther behind the line."
How have you done with the new offense?
"It's a couple of plays here and there. We get it installed at the beginning
of practice because there's so much stuff we have to learn. The terminology is
deep, really deep. Sometimes a play called is almost two sentences read to you
in the huddle. I think I've been adjusting pretty well. Hasn't been a real
problem. I've been studying the playbook. I don't think it's going to be tough
at all."
Was it nice coming in and being at the same level as everyone with the new offense?
"That was my opportunity to match up and be even with everybody. I think I
took advantage of that. It helped me a lot more because it put us on an even
plane at the beginning. When we finally got to spring I was able to show what I
could do because I wasn't just pushed off in the back. This time I was treated
like a veteran. With a new receivers coach coming in we were all on an even
plane anyway."
Are you guys going to take apart the defense tomorrow at the final scrimmage?
"I'm looking forward to that. Lot of times in practice we only get to run a
couple of plays but tomorrow we're going to open it all up. Be looking for

Comments about Spectre Valve Cover:
Do not waist your money or time. Absolute garbage. I about expected this to not come with a gasket so not so disapointed there. I found out the hard way that the original equipment, OE, oil fill cap does not fit. In addition to that none of the other OE gromet fit either. Waisted time and money to get aftermarket cap and gromets. After all that I go to put it on and the thing does not even fit!!! The flange on the left side is too wide and will not clear the head bolts to mate withe the surface and seal. Stay away from this product.

Making the move from the military to a corporate IT leadership role can be difficult. Don't make it harder on yourself by showcasing the wrong skills.
As an IT visionary, accomplished entrepreneur, highly decorated war veteran, Saxon has experienced more success in the last 15 years than many people could hope for over a career. Amazing as all that is, he has a problem: Saxon is trying to transition into a civilian position as CIO or director of IT, and he hasn't been getting the desired results.
At first, Saxon's resume was five pages. After all, 25 years of IT and military experience is hardly something you can cram into a one-page resume. Also, in the military industrial channels he was working in, he has seen many three-five page resumes. At the recommendation of and with the paid help of a jobs board resume-writing service, Saxon recently distilled his resume to two pages.

Aldo Brancher (born 30 May 1943; Trichiana, Veneto) is an Italian politician. He served as a minister without portfolio in the Government of Silvio Berlusconi for 17 days in June/July 2010, but was forced to resign due to a pending court case.
Early career[edit]
Before his political career, Brancher was a Pauline priest.[1][2] He was a key figure in the publication of the Paulines' magazine, Famiglia Cristiana.[3] After leaving the priesthood, he worked for Berlusconi's advertising house, Publitalia '80, before moving on to Berlusconi's holding company, Fininvest.[3]
In 1993, while working for Fininvest, Brancher was caught up in the Tangentopoli political corruption scandal.[1][3][4] He served three months in San Vittore prison for false accounting and for illegally funding the Italian Socialist Party, but was released on a technicality following a ruling by the Court of Cassation.[3][4][5]
Political career[edit]
Brancher was elected to the 14th legislature of the Italian Chamber of Deputies in May 2001 and was re-elected in April 2006 and April 2008.[6] He was appointed as a Secretary of State with responsibility for reform on 12 May 2008.[6]
Brancher was named as a minister without portfolio, with specific responsibility for federalism, on 18 June 2010.[7] A few days later, his responsibility was changed to decentralisation as the Lega Nord – partners in Berlusconi's coalition Government – was concerned that his role would conflict with that of its leader, Umberto Bossi, who was Minister for Federal Reforms.[8] At the time of his appointment, Brancher was facing trial for alleged embezzlement during the 2005 takeover of Antonveneta.[1][8] When, just a few days later, Brancher invoked an immunity law that protects ministers from prosecution, the opposition accused Berlusconi of making the appointment solely to save his friend from the court hearing.[1][8] Giorgio Napolitano, the President of Italy, rejected Brancher's invocation of the right to immunity, suggesting that, as Brancher was a minister without portfolio, there was no actual Ministry work preventing him from standing trial.[9] Following the President's comments, the opposition, along with members of Brancher's own party, threatened a motion of no confidence unless he resigned.[1] Brancher acquiesced and announced his resignation during the opening day of his trial on 5 July 2010.[1][10]

Beauty How To: Cut Your Own Bangs — If You Dare
Bangs can be pesky. They grow out quickly. Without experience, taking matters into your own hands isn't the best idea. (Case in point: My dad once decided to cut my bangs when I was 7. I was left with a straight-edged tuft of hair three inches above my eyebrows. I still haven't recovered). Yet, with a bit of training, doing a trim yourself isn't too hard. After the jump, some tips from Annamarie Tendler, a Vidal Sassoon-trained hairstylist and makeup artist.
- Section out your bangs from the rest of your hair and pull hair back into a ponytail (so you don't cut more than you want).
- Make sure bangs are dry and styled how you would normally wear them. If you cut your bangs when they are wet, you will most definitely end up cutting more hair than you intended.
- Comb bangs so all the hair is lying flat and straight.
- For straight across bangs, comb through with a fine tooth comb and hold the comb just slightly above where you want your bangs to fall.
- Using the comb as your guide cut hair straight across and parallel to the comb. (Sometimes it frames your face nicely to have your bangs slightly longer on the sides, while more tapered in the middle. If you do this, make sure to cut on a smooth angle to the center so it blends together.)
- If your hair is thick, make the cut in two sections. Section out the top half of your bangs, and cut the underneath section first. Then cut the top section ever so slightly longer than the underneath section. This will ensure that your bangs lay flat instead of curling outward.
- For sweeping, angled bangs, follow the instructions for straight across bangs first, but cut the hair to just below the eyes.
- Sweep your bangs to the side with your hands or the comb, so they fall to the side on an angle. If you want more of an angle, cut the shortest side to the length you desire and then trim on an angle until you get to the longer side.
- Whether you cut straight across or at an angle, after you're finished hold your bangs straight between your fingers and cut up into them (so you're holding the scissors parallel to your nose) just along the edge to soften the hard line.

Well, when a Carolina boy meets/marries a West Virginia girl, and they begin to talk about the possibilities of buying a vacation getaway, he should clearly understand that the destination will be Myrtle Beach ... am I right?? This area has so much to offer for kids of all ages! For us, the area holds some of our greatest childhood memories, and we are excited to create new ones with our children that they will cherish for years to come.
Douglas Campbell purchased this condo in 2009
We looked at SO many properties before deciding on Palmwood Villas. We like this property because it is a low rise condo with great history and tradition. The owners at Palmwood Villas take pride in this property and are excited to share all that it has to offer to visitors like you. There are great views of the ocean from each unit. The pool and picnic areas are well maintained, and access to the beach is easy. It really offers a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
We have spent a lot of time in the North Myrtle Beach ('NMB') area since buying our condo in 2009, and we are constantly discovering new and exciting activites and restaurants at the beach. Our new favorite restaurant is The Flying Fish at Barefoot Landing. We recently went dolphin watching and were amazed at how many we saw! That is a memory that we will cherish for years to come. We like NMB because it is close to so many attractions, but the beaches don't seem to be as crowded (especially outside our condo).
Another great NMB vacation!!!😀
Great rental, nicely decorated. Plenty of room for our family. Nice pool with easy access to the beach. Enjoyed the screened in porch. Centrally located for the things we wanted to do.
Very nice. Great pool. Easy beach access. Had a great time.
This was an amazing rental full of great service and amenities. It was beautifully decorated and immediately became our home away from home. Close access to the beach and other adventures! Quiet and relaxing. We loved the screened in porch which allowed my children to have an ocean view without me worrying.
Great condo! Small but served our purpose well with our two small children. Excellent location, clean condo and complex, quiet beach area and pool area. We will book it again!
We would definitely recommend staying here. The condo was very clean, cozy, and tastefully-decorated. It looked exactly as it does in the pictures online. Also, it was in a convenient, safe, and family-friendly location. The on-site pool was clean and well-maintained, and parking spots were always available. Overall, we had a wonderful week and would stay here again!

We'll send you updates with the latest deals, reviews and articles for St. Petersburg each week.
Topics include Dining Scene, Russia: For Foreign Visitors & more!
The neighbourhood of the Vladimir Church (Vladimir Square, ul. Marata, and sidestreets)
The area to the west of Nevsky prospekt between the River Fontanka in the north and Ligovsky prospekt in the south is a dense network of small streets and lanes dissected by a busy thoroughfare (Vladimirsky prospekt) and magnetized by the radiant, soaring church on Vladimirskaya ploshchad, whose domes can be glimpsed and clear-voiced chimes heard throughout the district. This is the other end of Nevsky from the residences of the imperial family and court. It is down-to-earth, preoccupied with the struggle for daily survival, teeming with particularly Russian forms of life. Dostoevsky is its genius loci.
The original inhabitants were mostly tradesmen and service people, as the street names still bear witness. Stremyannaya is 'Stirrup Street'; Povarskoy pereulok, 'Cook Lane'; Dmitrovsky pereulok was presumably inhabited by people called to the capital from the ancient city of Dmitrov, 70 km from Moscow; Kuznechny pereulok means 'Blacksmith Lane'; ulitsa Dostoevskogo was originally Yamskaya or 'Coachman Street'. There is also Svechnoy pereulok ('Candle Lane'), and there were 'Table' and 'Tablecloth' streets and a 'Bread Lane'. Slightly later, from perhaps the middle of the 18th century onwards, the area became a natural home for the patriarchal merchant class. The latter supplied the city's markets and formed the backbone of a close-knit religious, traditional community that was prosperous enough to support three busy religious centres ('church' is too modest a word to convey the scale of these establishments) within 500 metres of each other: apart from the cathedral-like edifice on Vladimirskaya ploshchad', there were also large churches on the corners of Kuznechny pereulok and ulitsa Marata and ulitsa Marata and ulitsa Stremyannaya, as well as podvorya (daughter churches belonging to out-of-town monasteries) at Fontanka 44 and on the corner of Raziezhaya and Marata. As the 19th century progressed, the area kept step with the times – brewing, distilling, imbibing, and spitting back out a powerful concentrate of contemporary problems. In its decidedly non-aristocratic, semi-provincial streets patriarchal wealth and comfort lived side by side with extreme poverty. Journalists, musicians, and writers – attracted by the cheap rents, but also, one imagines, by the intensity of life here - flocked to the district. The construction of the railway station on Znamenskaya ploshchad (now ploshchad Vosstaniya) added even more vigour, more colour to the mix: hotels, taverns, noise, dirt, disease, beggars, drunkards, fraudsters, entrepreneurs, patisseries and prostitutes. Then, in the last third of the 19th century, came a wave of profit-driven development, as landowners rushed to expand vertically where they could not horizontally. Zagorodny prospekt and the second third of Nikolaevskaya ulitsa (now ulitsa Marata) soared skywards, turning into narrow canyons. A whole new street – called, presumably for want of time to think of a better name, exactly this, New Street (renamed Pushkinskaya in 1881) – was built between Nikolaevskaya ulitsa and Ligovsky prospekt. Parts of the neighbourhood became popular with the new middle classes.
Today the area retains much of its original character: alternately dozily quiet and rumbustiously noisy, glamorously smart and filthily dirty, drunk at nine in the morning and soberly religious at all hours, equally rich in both crude vices and fine arts. The spirit of Dostoevsky is still very much alive.
Atmospheric guesthouses
The Old Church Courtyard (www.church-courtyard.ru).
Visiting Bubyr (http://www.visiting-bubyr.ru/).
Marata 20 has a small food store, which is open at all hours. A much larger selection of foods, including ready-made dishes, plus wines (fairly expensive) and everything else that one might conceivably need, is to be found at the 'Land' (Лэнд) supermarket on Vladimirskaya ploshchad, which is also open throughout the night (Vladimirsky prospekt 19; entrance through the building's main door; the supermarket is in the basement). There is a more moderately priced wine shop (Aromatny mir) at ul. Marata 13.
Don't miss the shop of the Leningrad Porcelain Factory (LFZ) at Vladimirsky 7. LFZ porcelain is almost as much part of the cultural fabric of this city as, say, the Winter Palace or the statue of Peter the Great.
The neighborhood has two smart new shopping centres: Galeriya at Ligovsky prospekt 42 and Stockmann at Nevsky prospect 116.
Kuznechny rynok (Kuznechny market) at Kuznechny pereulok 3 is the most spectacular – and most expensive – market of its kind in the city. Look out for heart-shaped tomatoes from Samarkand, red and black caviar sold by the kilogramme, many different varieties of aromatic honey, traditional Russian pickles and preserves, and thick yellow smetana (slightly soured cream) and tvorog (curds) from just outside St Petersburg at Gatchina.
The Dostoevsky Museum at Kuznechny pereulok 5, the house where Dostovesky lived during the last years of his life, is well worth a short visit. Fyodor Dostoevsky is famous all over the world with his novel "Crime and Punishment". In the neighbourhood of museum you can see houses laid in the basis of the novel, same houses that Dostoevsky saw and lived in. You can walk the steps of Raskolnikov and just feel the spirit of that time.
Other museum apartments that give a fascinating flavour both of their occupants and the period in which they lived are the Rimsky-Korsakov Museum (Zagorodny pr. 28; entrance in the courtyard; open Wed-Sun, 11-18), the Akhmatova Museum (Liteyny pr. 53,; open Tues-Sun, 10.30-17.30), and, further afield, the Chaliapin Museum (ulitsa Graftio 2b).
Eating out
Ulitsa Rubinshteyna (parallel to and just to the north of Vladimirsky prospekt) is packed with restaurants, bars, and cafes, offering food from every part of the world (except Russia itself).
None are outstanding. The best and most reliable are:
Navoy (Навой), Rubinshteyna 23: atmospheric and reasonably cheap Uzbek cuisine.
Macaroni, Rubinsheyna 23: Italian. Spacious and usually quite quiet. Good risotto.
Fartuk (Фартук – which means 'Apron' in Russian): a new restaurant opened in April 2011 by three young guys, who seem to do all the work themselves. Reasonably low prices.
Pravila povedeniya (Правила поведения), Rubinshteyna 38. I've never eaten here, but this supposedly resembles 'a trendy bistro in New York or Berlin'. The food is eclectic in origin; prices are moderate (200 -400 rubles / main course).
Sardina, Rubinshteyna 6: Expensive Italian.
