Plan to make these at least a day ahead of time.
100 flexible plastic straws (The straws with a bendable neck make the most realistic worms by adding ridges to the worm. Place bendable necks of straws at the bottom of the container).
an empty, cleaned 1-quart milk or orange juice carton to hold straws. (The straws will fill up to the height of the container, the taller the better.)
1 package (6 ounces) raspberry or grape flavor gelatin 3 envelopes unflavored gelatin
3 cups boiling water
3/4 cup whipping cream
12 to 15 drops green food coloring waxed paper
Combine gelatin in a bowl and add boiling water;
stir until gelatin completely dissolve. Chill until lukewarm, about 20 min.
Meanwhile, gently pull straws to extend to full length; place in tall container.
Wrap together with a loose rubber band to hold straws together.
Blend cream and food coloring with the lukewarm gelatin mixture.
Carefully pour into container, filling straws.
Chill until gelatin is firm, at least 8 hours, or cover and chill up to 2 days.
Pull straws from container or, if you're using a carton, simply tear the carton away from the filled straws. Pull straws apart.
Run hot tap water for about 2 seconds over 3 to 4 straws at a time.
Starting at the empty ends, push worms from straws with rolling pin, or use your fingers.
Lay worms on waxed paper-lined baking sheets.
Cover and chill until ready to use, at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.
Worms will hold at room temperature for about 2 hours

Almost everyone connected to the production side of the concert industry can define the moment that changed the way they looked at rock and roll. Mine occurred 10 years ago, when I was a sophomore journalism major at UNC-Chapel Hill, and Genesis performed at the brand-new Dean E. Smith Center. Despite the fact that my roommate had slept out all night in line for tickets, we ended up behind the stage. But we were happy enough to have seats on the lower level, which was something we rarely ...

Humbug Damsels or Three Stripe Damsels for Wall Fish Tanks
The humbug damselfish (Dascyllus aruanus) goes by many other names, such as three stripe damselfish, humbug dascyllus, or black and white damselfish. The damselfish in the above photo appears blue and black instead of black and white due to the aquarium lighting. It belongs to the family Pomacentridae.
Like all damselfish, humbug damselfish are good fish for beginning saltwater aquarists. They tend to tolerate fluctuating water conditions better than a lot of other saltwater fish.
It should be noted that humbug damselfish can be very territorial in the aquarium, especially as they get older. You should either keep only 1 humbug damselfish or a small group of 4 to 8 (meaning if you get more than one you must get at least 4 of them). The dominant humbug damselfish may bully the others, and if you have several in your tank, then no one fish will have to take the brunt of the aggressive behavior of the dominant humbug.
It is also recommended that you add all of the other fish to your tank first and the humbug damsels last. This will help to minimize their aggressive behavior. If you add them first then they will begin to think they own the aquarium and then they won't tolerate new fish that are added to the tank. You should also provide lots of rockwork for hiding places.
Humbug damsels will also bully peaceful, timid tankmates, as well as other species of damselfish. You should keep this in mind when choosing fish for your community saltwater aquarium. Humbug damsels are very aggressive fish despite their small size. They only reach an adult size of 3-4 inches (7.6-10 cm).
Humbug damselfish are found in shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific. They are good fish for reef tanks. In their natural habitat they live around coral colonies and so they will enjoy having coral in their tank.
They are omnivores, eating both plant-based and meaty foods. They often feed on algae. You can give them frozen food for marine fish, vitamin enriched brine shrimp, and mysid shrimp. They will often eat dried flakes and pellets as well.
Like many other reef fish, humbug damsels have the ability to change their sex.
Humbug damsels can be purchased for about $3-5.

Humbug or 3 Stripe Damsels are excellent choices for a beginning salt water wall aquarium. Humbugs and blue damsels are usually the first fish placed into a wall fish tank and get along very well with each other. We typically recommend 1 damsel per 3-4 gallons in your wall fish tank. In addition to damsels we recommend 1-2 hermit crabs and/or a cleaner shrimp.

Encaustic paints have recently achieved popularity as an alternative to oil and acrylic paints. A very spontaneous and versatile medium, encaustics can be modeled, layered, sculpted, textured, and even combined with collage materials. No drying time is required.
The fine quality and exquisite visual properties of R&F Encaustic Paints are owed to the dedicated labor process. R&F carefully mixes pigment, pure beeswax, and damar resin. Each color is heavily pigmented and carefully milled. Because no solvents are used, many health hazards associated with other art materials are eliminated.
The beeswax contained in R&F Encaustic Paints makes them impervious to moisture, and thus highly durable. Over time, your art retains all the freshness of a newly finished work.
Encaustics are applied molten with a brush and then fused into the painting with a heat source. It is best to use encaustic paints on a rigid and absorbent surface.
Work done with encaustics does not need to be varnished or protected by glass. A mild buffing with a soft cloth will bring the surface to a beautiful luster.
To learn more about R&F Encaustics colors and transparency ratings, please visit the Resources tab of this page.

Metallic Colors, Set of 6 — These iridescent colors can be used on their own or blended with others in your palette to add complexity, shimmer, and shine. They are especially striking when mixed with translucent colors. The set contains six 40 ml (1.4 oz) cakes in the following colors: Iridescent Pearl, Iridescent Silver, Iridescent Bronze, Iridescent Pewter, Iridescent Gold, and Iridescent Copper, packaged neatly inside an 6" × 6" (15 cm × 15 cm) cradled Ampersand Encausticbord.

PortCityDaily.com is your source for free news and information in the Wilmington area.
Endowment fundraising is relatively new to the public university scene.
Traditionally only private higher learning institutions created and funded endowments, but years of budget cuts have forced public universities to follow suit.
At the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, that's where Eddie Stuart comes in.
As the vice chancellor for university advancement, the UNCW alum heads up the fundraising efforts at UNCW, including corporate and private gifts, as well as growing the relatively young institution's endowment.
As part of the UNC system, UNCW relies heavily on the state for its funding. But continued budget cuts have forced university officials to rely more on philanthropic support, Stuart said.
With 35 percent of UNCW's budget allocated from the state, UNCW has been relying on other revenue streams to keep tuition reasonable and to fund faculty research and other programs.
"The reason endowments are so important is twofold: It provides sustained support so you can count of those funds year after year after year," Stuart said. "They are designed to grow. The really give the university that stability in knowing we are going to have the money to support student scholarships and faculty research."
UNCW's endowment is about $76 million, which Stuart said is slightly under par with other state universities of its size.
"It is pretty low and a lot of that has to do with UNCW's youth. We haven't been engaged in a philanthropic program as long as some other sister universities in the system," he said. "In 2004, our endowment was $23 million. Now it's $76 million. That probably gives you an idea of how serious we've become. Where that ranks in the system—we're lower than most campuses our size—but we're doing everything we can to nurture it and make it grow."
Comparatively, UNC Chapel Hill has an endowment of $2.2 billion. N.C. State boasts a $635 million endowment, UNC Greensboro has a $198 million endowment and East Carolina University has a $127 million endowment.
Appalachian State University, similar in size to UNCW, has a $72 million endowment, Stuart said.
"Private institutions really live and die by endowments. Endowment fundraising for public universities is not necessarily a new concept, but it's gaining momentum. Only in the last decade has there been a real imperative to have robust fundraising programs," Stuart said.
Endowment funding has also funded such opportunities as the Sherman-Skiba Undergraduate Research Award and the Buckner Lecture Series in Creative Writing.
"Philanthropy allows us to do some neat things, like the Wentworth Travel Series," where students visit international locales where they're learning about its literature.
Alumni and friends
In terms of university fundraising, two main groups who give to the university are alumni and "friends."
"It's a mix of those two and several others. One thing that is a little unique is we get almost as much support from friends as we do alumni," Stuart said. "Friends are folks in the community who have adopted us as their alma mater."
UNCW's friends have been an integral part of the university's fundraising base.
"It is a little unusual for a university to have such a large friend constituency. We have a special responsibility to the people who have no connection to the university other than it's their own community," he said.
Stuart said there was "overwhelming community support" to make UNCW part of the UNC system.
"The university's beginnings come from this community's desire to have an institution of higher learning in Wilmington. That's really carried through. The second is we have a lot of folks who have moved to Wilmington and chose to come here. From feedback we know that UNCW is a big reason for them wanting to move here.
"UNCW is very well positioned to be a real leader in higher education in North Carolina. I think higher education, in general, is changing. It's really a transformative time to be at the forefront," Stuart said.
According to a university press release, Stuart and his team are responsible for completing UNCW's largest fundraising campaign in the university's history and has raised more than $66 million to support endowed scholarships, distinguished professorships and many university initiatives.

In 1772, Father Junipero Serra founded the Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa in a picturesque region of California's Central Coast. Before the mission was established, the San Luis Obispo area had been home to two native peoples for many years: the Salinan and the Chumash. As was common during the colonization of the United States, the native population dwindled, but today the descendents of the Salinan and Chumash still live on the Central Coast.
After the Mexican annexation of California in 1822, the San Luis area became home to various government officials and Army officers. The Mission churches themselves were neglected, but the vistas became homes for Mexicans with status at the time. Economy was primarily based on cattle ranching. The Golden Age of Mexican control on the Central Coast was ended by the Gold Rush, which drew people north to the San Francisco area. San Luis became something of a ghost town for a while; those left on the relatively isolated Central Coast tended to be violent miscreants. To combat the criminal element, Walter Murray formed the Committee of Vigilance in 1858.
The United States began to establish a foothold in San Luis in 1869, when Murray started the San Luis Obispo Tribune newspaper. More extensive development of the area began, and soon people began to look to the ocean for a means of increasing commerce. Ports and lighthouses were constructed, and the region's economy improved further. More people moved to the region, especially following the extension of the Southern Pacific Railroad into the Central Coast. In 1901, the California Polytechnic School was founded; today, this school lives on as the California Polytechnic State University.
One of the distinguishing characteristics of the San Luis Obispo area is its flexibility of production and diversity of resources. San Luis was able to switch gears from cattle farming to navy bean production during World War I. When that war ended, dairy and seed farming increased. During World War II, the San Luis area was selected by the War Department as a good location for military training camps. Many military families ended up staying in the region after the war.
Today, the town of San Luis Obispo has a population of around 44,000. It is a popular tourist spot, due to its natural beauty and old-fashioned character. Several Hollywood productions have been filmed in the region, including The Sheik, The Ten Commandments, and Diamond Jim Brady in the 1920s, and Murder by Numbers more recently.
Though San Luis is fairly small, there is a great deal of architectural diversity. Buildings from the 1800s still stand downtown, but these are nestled between Victoria's Secret and Barnes & Noble. The Cal Poly campus is itself a bizarre collage of structures left over from the institution's days as a vocational school and more modern, experimental buildings designed by students. In the outskirts of the town, you will find larger department stores adjacent to farmland. There is a constant battle on behalf of many locals to maintain San Luis Obispo's charm and character; this resistance of "corporate invasion" sometimes gets surprisingly violent. A Carl's Jr. fast food restaurant was forced out of downtown in the year 2000; rocks were thrown through its windows, and the building was vandalized. Since nobody really bothered the Gap downtown, one can only assume that the fast food place was singled out as some sort of symbol.
Every Thursday evening, downtown San Luis Obispo is filled with the sights, sounds, and smells of the large Farmer's Market. Here, you can sample local produce and browse the many shops as you and your friends try not to get trampled by the sizable crowd milling about the streets. College students spend a lot of time downtown; both at the market and at any of the numerous bars. San Luis is not "high tech"; the options for entertainment are somewhat limited. You have to make your own fun, and deal with the occasional smell of fresh manure drifting on the wind near the college.
The atmosphere in San Luis is one of both cheerful bustle and languid dream-walking. The people are colorful; there are a number of known "characters" that frequent the downtown area and transit system. There are artists painting in the parks, and musicians weaving tunes in front of the fountains. Except for the occasional serial murderer, San Luis seems almost idyllic.
Many students who attend Cal Poly dream of staying in San Luis after completing their degree. My boyfriend and I certainly did; we fought leaving until the very last minute, when we ran out of money! There is a strange sort of magnetism in San Luis Obispo; for me, it always seems easier to be myself in a small town. Unfortunately, there is not much work for engineers in the San Luis area; however, there are plenty of opportunities in the medical and agricultural industries. Cal Poly churns out a large percentage of engineers, but most of them end up leaving for either the North (near San Francisco and San Jose) or the South (near Los Angeles).
I will probably continue to be a tourist in San Luis from time to time. Though I only lived there for two and a half years, it felt more like home than anywhere else I'd ever been. It is my sincere hope that the town is able to find a balance between preserving its past and providing for its future.

- Jumping
- - Big Jumper?
Big Jumper? 2 Attachment(s) When sam goes, i will have to teach bomber a 17.3hh dressage thoroughbred how to jump, i am to small for him, but he is fairly safe to ride, i would like some info on how i can teach him how to jump, he is 11 years old, and here are some pics of him and me:-) |
Lots of lunging over jumps (in tack nce he gets the idea) free jumping is nice too. When you are riding him, do a ton of cavaletti work wtc (two point over the top), then once he's good with that, increase it to a tiny cavaleti and teach him to trot to it and canter away, and build it up from there. |
You can send him to me, and I'd take the challange :) |
thankx guys, ive been told to do the same thing i done on sam, and to be confident at what ever i am faced at and not to over face myself, |
It isn't just about not overfacing yourself - you don't want to overface this horse. Going with what you've already been suggested - The horse has a weak topline and needs allot of work on that back end - jumping is dressage with speed bumps. The thing with big horses such as this fellow, is that - they are allot tougher to manouver, allot more work to direct via seat, allot of time to tighten him up when riding through a tight course. Most courses at lower levels, are small and tight. If his rider doesn't have the power and the know how - big horses can be allot more work. Trust me, I used to ride a 17.2hh Zangershiede - talk about allot of power, talk about allot of horse, talk about allot of animal to work under me. I had to learn to use allot of seat, allot of core and it took allot of time under saddle on the flat to reach the goal of having a light, manouverable horse under me - so that we could take that and apply it to a course successfully. Big horses, are allot tougher to manouver through a course than a smaller, lighter horse. This horse should be fine doing low levels - but he will need ALLOT of flat work under an educated rider, so that he can remain on his hind end, light and off of his forehand - to transfer that to a course, to remain light, soft and on his hind end. He needs a rider who can ride from his back end, leaving his front end alone - especially his face. A horse this size, cannot be flat and heavy on his forehand. A horse this size needs a rider who can do this. He needs a rider who can support him constantly, to the fence, over the fence and after the fence - keeping his back lifted and light. Educated Flat work, Educated flat work, Educated flat work |
Well said. I agree 100%. He definitly needs lots of flat work before you start jumping him anything above a crossrail. |
No rider is to small for a horse! ;) lol I agree with the post above |
I agree with above posters. Pyro is luckily a fast learner, so I only had to lunge him for about 2 weeks over jumps until he got the idea of curling up his legs and actually jumping. Do lots of trot-pole work... and NEVER jump for the first time under saddle over a vertical. Use a cross rail(I learned the that hard way -.-) because it looks more inviting to him. You have to build up HIS confidence before you move on to higher jumps, if you mess it up now, its going to be SO hard to correct later on. Until he is confident, you should not move on to higher jumps. |
thanx for helping guys he is improving well |

As 2010 begins, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year. Please remember, that what we take for granted may not last forever. This is especially true in the case of modern architecture. Each day fewer and fewer examples of classic modern architecture remain for us to enjoy and study. Developers buy these buildings and homes only to demolish them in order to construct superficially designed structures. Get involved with a local or national preservation trust, and help save these gems now!
Happy New Year from Modernesia!
Happy New Year

The Magic Castle grants wishes for pediatric cancer patients who complete their radiation therapy, thanks to The Children's Cancer Foundation.
For very young cancer patients, the process of daily visits to the hospital for radiation therapy can be an overwhelming experience. Now, thanks to The Children's Cancer Foundation, the staff of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center (UMGCCC) has a whimsical and fun way to help ease children's fears and encourage them through the radiation therapy process.
At the start of treatment, each child is invited to write three wishes on a slip of paper and place it inside a Magic Castle located in the patient waiting area. The child is then told that the Magic Castle princess will come after everyone has left and grant one of the wishes. On the final day of treatment, the child receives their gift and celebrates with family members and staff.
Funding for the project comes from The Children's Cancer Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for research and treatment of childhood cancer and to improving the quality of life of pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Dr. William Regine, chief of Radiation Oncology, was aware of a similar project at another hospital, and championed the concept of a Magic Castle at UMGCCC. He felt that having a way to ease kids' stress about the treatment process was not only important, but essential: "There is such a high level of anxiety in kids, and creating this concept has made our youngest patients feel even better when they are finished their treatment."
Radiation Oncology marketing manager Jill Rosenberg was instrumental in launching the Magic Castle project. "We are extremely grateful for the support of The Children's Cancer Foundation for turning patients' wishes into gifts they previously only dreamed of owning. The castle provides a light at the end of the tunnel that gives the patients something to look forward to at the end of their treatment," says Rosenberg. So far, pediatric patients have received gifts ranging from Ipods and Gameboys to TV/DVD players.
She notes that an added benefit has been bringing the staff, and even other patients, closer together in celebrating each child's accomplishment in completing treatment.
Dr. Regine and the Radiation Oncology staff hope that the Magic Castle will continue to make dealing with radiation therapy just a little bit easier for their pediatric cancer patients. As Dr. Regine says, "It makes a difference. Some of these patients may not have gotten through their treatment otherwise, due to the high anxiety level associated with this type of treatment."
The Magic Castle program is made possible through charitable contributions. Donate today and help make a child's wish come true.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) — Peruvian stocks tumbled Monday after populist candidate Ollanta Humala pulled out a narrow victory in the country's presidential election.
In Lima, the LSE General Index (IGBVL) slid 12.51% to 18,571.81, prompting the exchange to halt operations during mid-day trading. It was the index's worst one-day slide on record.
Also hurt on Monday were U.S.-listed shares of Peruvian gold and silver producer Compania de Minas Buenaventura BVN, +0.48% down 15% to $35.75, while the iShares MSCI All Peru Capped Index Fund EPU, +0.06% slid 14%.
Results from Sunday's presidential election show Humala will become the nation's next president. With 96% of the vote counted, Humala had 51.48% of the vote compared with rival Keiko Fujimori's 48.52%, according to Peru's National Election Office. Fujimori is a member of Peru's Congress and is the daughter of jailed former president Alberto Fujimori.
During his presidential run in 2006, Humala, a former army officer and founder of the country's Nationalist Party, called for renegotiating the terms of agreements with mining and energy companies. Humala worked to position himself more as a moderate during this campaign, but analysts have been widely skeptical about how he would manage the economy if he were to win this year.
"The market was half-prepared for this election result. They were expecting that [Fujimori] was going to win by a small margin," said Alfredo Coutino, who heads Latin American research at Moody's Economy.com, in a telephone interview Monday. "There's uncertainty about ...what are going to be the main macroeconomic policies of his administration. They are nervous because of campaign speeches in terms of sending signals of risk and threats to free-market policies," he said.
Monday's drop puts the Peruvian index down 21% this year.

"We don't believe the market was fully positioned for a Humala victory," the emerging markets team at RBC Capital Markets said in a note to clients.
Peru's stock market surged 65% in 2010, the best performing market of the 21 tracked by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, as investors sought exposure to the fast-growing economy and its expanding middle class. The International Monetary Fund expects Peru and its Andean neighbor to the south, Chile, to lead growth in Latin America this year and in 2012.
Humala must move quickly to calm the financial markets, said Coutino.
"The president-elect must address the main problem that's bothering markets, which is how he and his administration are going to manage the economy. He doesn't need to waste that precious time that is so valuable for markets," he said. "If not, this nervousness is going to be a negative factor for the beginning of this administration."
Shares of Chilean and Mexican companies with operations in Peru were also hit Monday, contributing to a 1.4% drop in Chile's IPSA Index (IPSA) and a 1.3% fall in Mexico's IPC (IPC) .
Chilean retailer Ripley dropped 3.1%, retailer Cencosud fell 2.4% and air carrrier Lan Airlines LFL, +3.50% declined 2.7%. In Mexico City, shares of copper miner Groupo Mexico (GMEXICOB) tumbled 7.5%, the worst performer on the IPC index. Grupo Mexico operates in Peru through Southern Copper Corp. U.S.-listed shares of Southern Copper SCCO, +0.38% fell 11.4% on Monday.

iPhone Software Update Seems To Be Killing Battery Life
Published 11:36 am, Saturday, February 9, 2013
Last month Apple released a new version of its operating system, iOS 6.1.
But some people who have installed the upgrade are reporting subsequent issues with the iPhone's battery life. They also say their devices are overheating.
Vodafone UK has issued a text message warning to iPhone users on its network, blaming issues with 3G performance. In addition, The Next Web reviewed 27 pages of complaints on Apple's Support Communities forum, the first of which was logged on January 28.
Apple has not addressed the potential iOS 6.1 issue yet.
But one possible solution was offered by an iPhone user who visited an Apple Store genius (via The Next Web):
I went to see the genius' yesterday. My problem was that my usage was almost identical to my stand by times, which means that something was continuing to run in the background after closing all the apps.
I was told to turn off location services and then one by one turn each in turn to see which one was causing the drain on the battery. I was impatient so just factory reset the handset which seems to have fixed the problem.
I'll keep you all posted on how it continues.

Sweet Potato Wedges ~ Oven Roasted
Sweet potatoes have been finding their way into my grocery cart more frequently lately. I like to prepare them in a number of ways.
Baked whole, grated and prepared into Latke, pureed with a splash of cream and a knob of butter...
Or this way ~ cut into wedges, tossed in a bit of olive oil, seasoned with coarse salt & freshly ground pepper, or (spicy Cajun seasoning). I bake them in the oven set to convection roast, at 425-degrees (F)for 10 to 15 minutes; depending upon the thickness of the wedges. I like to roast them until just tender and beginning to take on a little color.
Delicious with a squirt of fresh lime juice, a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or ~ my favorite; Piment d'Espelette.
They make a nice little appetizer, too!
Budget Friendly,
Side Dishes,

Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Alfonso Muzzarelli
A learned Italian Jesuit, b. 22 August, 1749, at Ferrara; d. 25 May, 1813, at Paris. He entered the Jesuit novitiate on 20 October, 1768, and taught grammar at Bologna and Imola. After the suppression of the order in 1773 he received a benefice at Ferrara and, somewhat later, was made director of the Collegio dei Nobili at Parma. Pius VII summoned him to Rome, and appointed him theologian of the Poenitentiaria. When Pius VII was exiled in 1809, Muzzarelli was also obliged to leave Rome and was transported to Paris, where he spent his remaining life at the convent of the Dames de Saint-Michel. He wrote numerous theological, philosophical and ascetical works. His chief production is a collection of philosophico-theological treatises published repeatedly under the title "Il buon uso della Logica in materia di Religione" (6 vols., Foligno, 1787-9), with additions by the author (10 vols., Rome, 1807; 11 vols. Florence, 1821-3). The collection contains sketches on the theological questions on the day such as - abuses in the Church, the temporal power of the pope, religious toleration, ecclesiastical immunity, riches of the Church and its clergy, primacy and infallibility of the pope, auricular confession, religious orders, indulgences, Gregory VII, moral liberty, etc. This collection of treatises, with the exception of the last five, was translated into Latin by Zeldmayer de Buzitha ("Bonus usus logiae in materia religionis", Kaschau, 1818-7). A French translation, containing 42 treatises, was published at Brussels in 1837. Two other important productions of Muzzarelli are. "L'Emilio disingannato" (4 vols., Siena, 1782-3) and "Confutasione del contratto sociale di Gian Jacopo Rousseau" (2 vols., Foligno, 1794) - the former is a refutation of Rousseau's "Emile", the Iatter of his "Contrat social". The most popular of Muzzarelli's many ascetical works is "Il mese di Maria o sia di Maggio" (Ferrara, 1785) of which about 100 editions have been issued (new ed., Bologna, 1901). It has been translated into English "The Month of Mary or the Month of May", London, 1848, 187), Spanish ("Las Vegas", New Mexico, 1887, 1888); Portuguese (Oporto, 1890); French (Paris, 1881, and often previously); Arabian (4 ed., Beyrouth, 1872); and adapted to the German (Mainz, 1883). Another little work that has been translated into English is: "Il buon uso delle vacanze" (Parma, 1798). Its English title is: "A Method of spending the Vacation profitably. Addressed to the Youth who frequent the Schools of the Society of Jesus" (London and Dublin, 1848).

The Weird Circle, featuring tales of terror and horror, aired from 1943-1947, mainly on the Mutual radio network. This episode was originally broadcast on January 1, 1945.
Listen to more tales from The Weird Circle.
© and (P)2006 Radio Spirits Inc.
An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.
"Poe's story is a great one!"
Yes, I have several of the programs and they never disappoint. They are especially good when they use classic tales of the macabre.
This is as good as Dimension X or X Minus Zero, the science fiction series. They use great stories and tell them in a hour listen.
This is a radio play, the characters are different each time.
Yes, it's a half hour, an easy listen.
This story is about a couple in love that before they can get married the man is shanghaied and when he returns his best friend is married to his fiancée. The man beats his wife and the former friend plots revenge.
"NOT by Edgar Allen Poe!"
If you ever read Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle" alongside the German folktale upon which it was based, you may appreciate the occasional worth of plagiarism. Irving takes a silly story, one with no apparent worth, and gently reshapes it into a timeless fable.
This audible just as blatantly plagiarizes, but in the opposite direction. Poe's fabulous tale of revenge for the sake of pride becomes nothing more than an empty and trite bit of fluff. I could go on and on... let's just leave it at this: If you are already quite familiar with Poe's work and this story, if you would like only to hear the performance and an alternative interpretation of the work (however awful) then this is worth the minimal time & monetary investment (99 cents and 25 minutes shouldn't even leave you a day late or a dollar short).
However, if you are new to Poe or The Cask of Amontillado, perhaps a student hoping to have your assigned reading read to you on the commute to school, PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY, DO NOT TAKE THIS AS ANY SORT OF ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF POE'S WORK. Download Audible's straightforward reading of the work, as it is equally inexpensive, both to your pocketbook and your grade... especially if you should mistake Luccia for Lucchese on a Literature exam.

Opportunity Doesn't Knock -- It Answers
You have to go out and find opportunity. If you're an entrepreneur, it's not going to knock on your door. Opportunity doesn't even know where you live, it doesn't know your wife and kids, it doesn't know what a great person you are. As an entrepreneur you have to get up from behind your desk, go down the street, and knock on every door, and maybe opportunity will answer.
That's the biggest thing that I tell folks. If you want to be successful in business, you have to go out and find opportunity, because opportunity will not find you. Again, its all about relationships. The old adage "it's who you know and not what you know" is so true. It really is, because those relationships are the ones that bring you the opportunities.

To hell with titanium and carbon.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
You could pay a lot more for pedals with carbon bodies and titanium widgets, but the saved grams aren't worth the $$$ to me. The Xpresso 4 are Time's best blend of reliability and weight.
best ones out there
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
this is my 2nd set of time pedals, and i will continue to buy more later on. they are super easy to get in and out of, they hold tight until you need to get out . and the important part, they are comfy to ride with, for long amounts of time.
Great Great Pedals!
Have been using these for over a year, easy to get in and out of great float, light!
A small crack developed on one of the leaf springs and CC dealt with it promptly. Really didn't affect the performance but CC insisted. Amazing service from Duncan Britt!!!

Is there a way to tighten the axle on these pedals? mine are loose and its very annoying when cycling as they clunk and feel like they jolt downwards when at top of the pedal stroke.
Hi James. There isn't a way to tighten the axle, only the amount of float. If the pedals are feeling excessively loose, it would be a good idea to tightened the float, and check to ensure the pedals is threaded tightly securely into your crank-arms. If it still feels too loose and clunky, you may want to get in touch with our warranty team with your name, number, order # and description of the issue. firstname.lastname@example.com

My left Time Xpresso 4 pedal makes a squeaking noise. Tightening the cleat helped some but it's still there. The right pedal doesn't make the same noise. Any suggestions?
I would try taking the cleat screws out and lightly greasing the threading. Also, if the cleats are old and worn, this could cause squeaking. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly. firstname.lastname@example.com

i got the pedal and love them. But there are two screws on the bottom of the pedal that hold the plate on the pedal. i have lost them both on one pedal making a lot of sound. do you know the specs on those screws.
I should be able to help you out. Please send me an email with a photo of the portion of the pedal that is missing the screws. firstname.lastname@example.com
Decent lightweight pedal.......
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Well let me add a note here that I have always been a Shimano SPD-SL guy. On my recent Orbea purchase of full carbon bike I made a decision to try something new. That being the Time IClic system pedal (Xpresso 4). These fit the bill but I had reservations due to some feedback that they were easy to break. Okay..............such a subjective case here of "easy to break". Some people are just hammerheads with things. Installed and set the tension and began riding them. So far great.

Things I dislike......the tension screw is made of plastic<?????WTH! They should have made this of a hardened steel. Why you ask??? When I use a screwdriver to adjust it, it messed up the flimsy head. Why would they do this???? Well to cut out weight but one tiny miniscule screw does not weigh JACK! OK, done complaining.

Submission + - Network of vehicle tracking camera in Shanghai
2Bits writes: Shanghai is building a network of street cameras to track vehicles in real time. Motion sensor detects an approaching vehicle, triggers the camera to take a snapshot, which is then uploaded to a central repository for analysis and processing. An OCR software is used to decode license plate, the information is then sent to a cluster of computers to analyse driving patterns and track vehicles in real time. I guess the same network of Big Brother is being built all over the world now.

But in the sequel Lost Kingdoms II, the series has almost found its way into the clear. For starters, there's a better story here featuring a marginally more interesting lead, Tara Grimface. She still doesn't say or emote much (she's named Grimface after all), but at least she has a past to contend with.
Tara was abandoned as a young girl. Her only inheritance was a mystical runestone that enabled her to control some equally mystical creatures encased in cards. Instead of taking her magic cards into a life of political gain, she joined the Band of Scorpions, a roving band of thieves and scallywags. The plot remains simple, but more effort is made towards fleshing out the narrative with cutscenes and decent voiceovers.
The gameplay is still given priority over the story, and thankfully there have been many improvements on that end. The card playing core of the game centers on moving Tara through dungeon or overworld stages while battling enemies with her personal deck of 30 cards.
Lost Kingdoms II is appropriately twice as long with a completely overhauled battle system. When you would encounter a random enemy in the original Lost Kingdoms, the game would wall you into an enclosed battleground. You were allowed to shuffle through your deck, but after a card had been swapped away, you weren't allowed to use it until the next battle. The randomized battles disrupted the more action-driven personality of the game.
That's all changed for the better. Enemy opponents are now constantly on the map so you can fight and run at will. No more random battles here, and card usage is not inhibited from battle to battle. Shuffle through your deck to your heart's content, but you still have to keep an eye out for enemy attacks. If you die during a stage, you are freely given the change to try and try again.
The original Lost Kingdoms had three principal card types: attacks, independents and summons. An attack card works like one action move, such as a sword slice. The independent cards let loose one creature that runs amuck, fighting enemies in its way. The summon cards bring forth a super-sized creature to rain down some wanton destruction.
Two new card types have been added: traps and transforms. A trap stays in place until an enemy foolishly walks over it, while the transform card allows you to change into a creature for a prolonged period of time and utilize some special monster abilities. For example, by turning into the stone golem, you can Hulk Smash your way through some barriers that must be crossed to complete the stage. One issue is that if you jump onto a ledge while in a monster form, you can only jump off while in that same form. That's a problem if you run out of the monster power while still on the ledge.
Card usage is kept in check by a usage meter. The bigger summons will cost more than little attacks. There's a tendency to only pay attention when the meter is used up, not how quickly it's spent. This meter is replenished by collecting the various gems that fly out of defeated creatures. Gems will also shoot out of your own creatures after they've fought the good fight and failed, thus negating the problem of losing all your fighting powers. The cards have individual usage meters as well; an attack card may have three sword swipes, whereas summoning is a one-time deal.
For the most part you can get by without adhering to the elemental structure of each card, but you will play more sloppily. There are 6 elements, the original classic four of earth, fire, wood, and water, and the brand new ones, neutral and mech. There are also card boosts and combos to add power to your attacks, and elemental bonuses to encourage you to use all your elements.
When taken altogether, Lost Kingdoms II has a nice amount of fairly deep strategy, much of which stems from experience. For instance, you might try out one card type and find it works especially well on one enemy species. Thus, you would stock up on those cards for an area littered with that species. At the end of each stage you are ranked by your play performance and rewarded with some bonus cards. There's as much strategy to it as you are willing to put in, which is a necessary part of a good card battle game.
There's also a two-player game mode that allows you to take your deck against a willing friend. The fair-use rules of the original still apply, but the back and forth grunt matches are made more varied by the increased number of cards.
With all the different cards to see, deal, and shuffle, all while running around exploring a big RPG world, Lost Kingdoms II win the award for the Gamecube's Most Cluttered Visual Interface. You've got your health bar at the top left and these huge cards mapped to the buttons on the bottom right. There really ought to have been a way to toggle between a larger or condensed view of the cards to eke out some more visual real estate.
Lost Kingdoms II's camera tends to prefer a third-person behind the back perspective over the high isometric view. Sometimes the game won't even allow you to pull back and up properly for a better view, such as while navigating some narrow halls. Interestingly, I complained in my review of the original that it only allowed the top view. Why can't they just offer both consistently? Running away from enemies and fighting the camera can be a problematic affair, and having big honking cards in the way doesn't help.
But despite the bad interface, the game is much more polished this time around, with finely crafted textures and better attention to detail. The effects, such as with the summons, don't shine with the best lighting effects, but the creature animation is consistent. The music isn't half-bad either, with a generous range of sound effects for the multitude of creatures.
Lost Kingdoms II is a great example of a sequel learning from its predecessor's mistakes. It's clear that From Software knew what they were doing this time around and earnestly tried to fix the problems in the original. The game is longer, the gameplay is more fun and flowing and the main character is a bit more interesting. The only parts requiring more work are the story, the visual interface and the camera. Fans of the original will be pleased by the improvements, and fans of collectible card games should find some decent fun in Lost Kingdoms II.

Another HUGE thanks to my friend Mary for donating all the photos!
Did they track you down for this role, or did you push for it?
I think it was probably both. Probably more so on my side. I just felt that it was a story I had been familiar with for so long that I couldn't pass up the opportunity to at least try to be a part of it.
You were very young during the '80s, and you were a long ways away from the center of this story in New York. Were you aware of the story in the '80s? Did you see it on TV? And now as you see it from your perspective, now when you play this character, what does it feel like?
This play was actually the first exposure I really had, a real understanding of the illness. I read it in the closet of my drama room when I was 14 years old, and the irony of that is not lost on me.
So, you know, I grew up in the Bible Belt, and there was no talk about [HIV]. I remember reading this play and seeing this neon blinking SOS and being terrified but also glad that I had some kind of understanding of what was going on, and I did lose friends. I started working at the theater in Art Town in the mid-'90s, which was in some ways an especially difficult time in the epidemic, and that was my first direct contact in losing friends and things like that. So I guess this story, for me, was always the genesis of my understanding of what the disease was.
How many conversations did you have with Larry about playing Felix?
First of all, I love Larry. We spent a good deal of time together talking about the world. He has done revivals of this play for so long, I didn't want to keep rehashing tough territory for him. So much of this story really is in the text. The most important thing that he told me was it is more about who this individual was before he got sick and after. And the good and the bad with both of those sides of the coin.

I added photos of Matt at the LACMA Screening And Q&A Of "The Normal Heart" on May 21st.

Let's start with the premiere. Larry Kramer was there. So many New York men who remember that time were there. I heard the sobbing was audible. What was it like to watch The Normal Heart on screen in a room full of those people?
Most importantly, getting to watch the standing ovation for Larry Kramer and to see him taking in a moment that was 30 years in the making was something I'll never forget. For me, that was just one of those really rarified experiences that you're very lucky if you get maybe once in a career as an artist.
But also, this is such a distinct part of New York history, this play, and I'm so thankful to HBO that they gave it such a grand opening there in New York. And paid homage and respect to this generation of people. Afterwards at the after-party, so many people who approached me wanted to tell me stories of people they lost and their experiences during that dark time in our history. They just wanted to cry and share their feelings with me. It was unforgettable. I became an actor because I read playwrights like Larry and Tony Kushner, and wanted to be a part of telling stories that hopefully have significance or can educate people or challenge their points of view or change their worldview the way these playwrights did for me. So to actually be a part of something like that as a grown-up, it's like, man, you just check your ego at the door and try to serve the story.
There's a headline that keeps circulating from a quote that you gave, where you said, "Larry Kramer probably saved my life."
Yeah. I'm sure he did. At the time I first read it, my first sexual relationships were with women. But even then he put the fear of God in me! (Laughs) He educated me in a lot of ways. It was a very useful fear. But it was also the education to be smart and be safe, and that carried over into my later relationships and also when I started to have relationships with men.
But I think he saved me on a more profound than practical level. Even at 14 when I still didn't know who I was when I read this piece—I was still figuring out who my most authentic self was—to have this voice that was such a firebrand and so honest and so authentic, to know that that reality was out there, even though it was nowhere near my immediate experience in suburban Texas, to know that somewhere it was out there gave me a sense of hope. And I think I knew on some level that a part of me that hadn't been acknowledged yet was going to be OK.

Americans love an underdog, and there is no more an underdog in the fight for climate awareness than the Maldives. The world's lowest lying nation, the Maldives are a string of over 2,000 islands in the Indian Ocean where the totalitarian rule of their previous regime lasted decades and imprisoned many of its citizens. But now the island nation fears for its existence from a far larger and more determined enemy: climate change. THE ISLAND PRESIDENT follows the charming Mohamed Nasheed who was once a political prisoner. But now, as the president who has brought democracy to his people, he must face the fight for their existence. In the months leading up to the Copenhagen Climate Summit of 2009, Nasheed must try to change the focus of climate change to carbon reduction, while facing much larger and stubborn nations like China, the United States, and the Maldives' neighbors in India. Inspiring in his convictions and determined in his fight, Nasheed is the underdog who has one chance to make history, so he can change the future. (In English and Dhivehi with subtitles) T.W.

Welcome Team # 3 From the left Top row:
LaNeisha Murphy now training as a BSFT Supervisor (BCS), Candace Trato, Shayna Irvine, our own Silvia Kaminsky, Vanessa Vodel
Bottom row: Nicole Nasierowski and Shanita Theil
Adherence consists of demonstrated mastery in BSFT problem and intervention formulation skills, and BSFT treatment skills in each of the four BSFT domains. Focusing adherence on the BSFT treatment domains will identify fidelity issues earlier, provide clear direction for individual clinicians, and guide both the clinician and supervisor toward effective remediation. The BSFT model co-developer periodically reviews each agency and clinician for fidelity, and will recommend any adaptations or other measures that will improve utilization and outcomes.Research has proven that lack of adherence and fidelity to an EBP produces negative results that mislabel the EBP as inadequate and ineffective.FTTIM helps clinicians and their agencies, in tandem, create an environment that maintains programmatic fidelity in all aspects. In helping organizations successfully implement BSFT we have to see that the system be congruent theoretically and clinically with the model. If not, symptoms appear (poor outcomes, engagement and retention failures, loss of fidelity, staff turnover). The EBP then becomes, as we say in Family Therapy lingo, the Identified Patient of the agency system. As effectiveness decreases, funding is lost….the EBP dies.

Yom Kippur Souls
Posted September 24th, 2013
By Sam Oppenheimer, Ma'ase Olam, Israel Service Fellows
God made Adam out of clay, and clay we remain. Bodies are doughy and malleable, and every morning you wake a fresh, blank slab. You can't quite remember exactly what you are, what you look like, how it feels to be you; so every day you change, slowly, subtly, until your original self is forgotten. Parents enjoy fashioning their children's faces and shaping them fat, round cheeks and delicate seashell ears, while across a lifetime, the elderly desperately force their sagging faces upward, fighting a daily battle against the reality of age.
How, then, do we form a sense of self at all? The answer lies in the nature of our souls. The soul is our anchor, our bedrock, the strong spine to which we graft our bones, muscles, and skin. Each soul is newly crafted as sinewy, silvery mesh, unblemished by stain or shadow, wholly bright in every corner and curve. Yet as a body grows, delicate and soft, the soul is marked by the harshness of living. Tarnished here, frayed there, stains of coffee rings and teardrops and blotches purple like wine. The soul, that bright pulsing center, flutters and shakes and makes itself known in the body; but as time wears on, its struggles becomes weaker, feebler, until at times the body barely feels its presence. Yom Kippur is the day designed to wax and polish our souls, to shake off the dust and debris, to buff and burnish with thought and reflection and intention.
I chose to experience my first Israeli Yom Kippur in Jerusalem, at a service hosted by Hebrew Union College. The day was characterized by fiery white light and hope and purpose, and utilizing this day, Yom Kippur, to cleave to the darkest depths of yourself, to remember and re-define who you believe you are, and who you feel the need to be. The Unetaneh Tokef, that damning, fatalistic prayer that speaks of people perishing by fire and water, sword and hunger and earthquake, meant that the moment to live is now, that it is imperative you make the choice to live and fight and love here, today, with the entirety of your soul, because anything could happen tomorrow. The music, performed by the cantorial students, was entirely focused on pulling the heart up and out of each individual, to weave them together into a tapestry of light and sound and soul, to make it so that no one could manage to feel even the slightest bit alone on this day. Twice through the service I felt my soul flutter up into my throat and watched a gleaming silvery coil emerge, trying to reach ever closer to the music, and to unity. On Yom Kippur I felt a part of something far greater that I could imagine, a system of hearts beating in unison, that my soul was made of the stuff of other souls. I felt whole and renewed and reborn, and ready to take on the adventure of the year.

I'd hike a ball to Kathy Ireland.
I caught Nightwatch on cable the other day. Ewan MacGregor plays a law student who works as the night watchman at a hospital's creepy morgue. MacGregor soon becomes embroiled in a murder investigation after some suspicious incidents involving the morgue's occupants occur during his watch. Nick Nolte plays the sympathetic detective trying to get to the bottom of the mystery.
Picked up Slither, DaVinci Code, and Poseiden from the library recently.
Slither was probably the best of the three. I picked up the book, so hopefully it's good too.
The ship disaster flick was worth a look but I'm glad I didn't pay to see it. Poor Fergie went down with the ship, so now only the fishes will know if she really was Ferg-A-Licious.
As for DaVinci Code, I really enjoyed Dan Brown's novel, so the movie was a bit anti-climatic. Then again, I didn't have high expectations for it anyway.
Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
just watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" the cartoon version. I liked the Ron Howard / Jim Carrey version but the animated Boris Karloff masterpiece still is the best.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
I watched Rocky tonight to kick off my 5 movie marathon in preparation for next week's release of Rocky 6.
Rocky is a classic, I love it even more as an adult than I did as a kid.
I watched the newest episode of House. Great episode too.
That damn cop is really starting to pi55 me off. He does such a good job of acting that I now hate him as a person.
Up, up, and OKAAAAY!!!
I've never watched the Grinch remake, nor do I intend to.
That's my jacket!
I saw the first part of House last night for the first time and I turned it off. There's no way I could take a full hour of that programming.
The Grinch movie was horrible, just painful when I saw it in the theater.
I just watched Rocky II tonight as part of my Rocky marathon...I think I like it even more than the first one. It's got a bit of a cheese factor to it while the first one is more gritty...but what can I say, I love them both.
I didn't care for the live-action Grinch movie when I first saw it in theatres, but I'll sometimes watch it again this time of year. I did watch Charlie Brown's Christmas a week ago and will probably do the animated Grinch one, and then Nat'l Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Plus there's the A Christmas Story marathon on cable. I haven't watched my other childhood favorites, Rudolph and Frosty, in years.
I watched Monster House last night. I thought it was okay with some funny bits here and there. Weird origin story though.. the house is haunted by some circus freak that died in a freak accident. Whew, where did that come from?
I spotted Nacho Libre, Beerfest, and some other recent release at the library but passed on them all. Still hoping to get Superman Returns and Pulse.

I've never seen the Grinch movie either. I had always heard bad things about it so I never gave it a chance.
*shudders* - I thought that movie was pretty awful.Originally Posted by Ji'dai
A couple of nights ago I watched Home Alone for the first time in many years. M. Culkin is much harder to tolerate now that I am older. Found him to be very obnoxious at times. Even with that said, it is still a pretty good (Christmas) movie.
Right now I am watching Leon The Professional which is a fantastic movie. Gotta love some Gary Oldman... and that young girl, uhhh, whats her name?
"That's the best deal you're gonna get. I won't tell you you can save yourself, because you can't."
well said Yuke, Leon is a great film.
Rocky III last night to continue my marathon...I'm now halfway through the film series. 3 is great with all of the Apollo and Clubber stuff...and let us know forget Thunderlips.

Since this time last year, Statistics Canada reported that national employment inched up 2.3% with 394,000 more people working. But in the last month, 139,000 full-time jobs were lost, while part-time jobs increased by about 130,000, edging the unemployment rate back up to 8%.
IN PICTURES: 6 Hot Careers With Lots Of Jobs
Jobs in education, finance, insurance and real estate took the brunt of the drop in full-time work last month, but increases in manufacturing and public administration helped to balance out July's numbers. Most provinces maintained steady employment numbers for the month, but two provinces leapt ahead of the pack in job gains: British Columbia and Alberta.
The Winners
British Columbia
For the month of July, Canada's western-most province gained 16,000 jobs, pushing the unemployment rate down 0.3 points to 7.5%. Stats Canada reports that since this time last year, British Columbians have enjoyed one of the highest employment growth rates in the country with 67,000 more jobs overall since July 2009.
B.C.'s provincial government says that much of this is due to high numbers of construction projects in the region. The province reports that since the beginning of the year, there have been 896 major construction projects at an estimated value of $191 billion underway or planned for the near future - an all-time high for the region. There are 547 major construction projects that are being proposed at this time - another broken record for the province.
B.C. also reports that lumber production has increased by more than 22% compared to this time last year and spending on TV and film production increased by more than $100 million since 2008. Finally, the ports of Prince Rupert and Metro Vancouver say that shipping tonnage has increased dramatically since 2009. (You may not have been laid off – yet. Find out if you're at risk in How Secure Is Your Job?)
Employment numbers increased healthily for the fourth month in a row with 9,000 more jobs created last month in Alberta and unemployment is at its lowest since April 2009 at 6.3% for the province. But contrary to B.C.'s steady employment gains over the last year, Alberta has struggled with one of the slowest growth rates in Canada at 1.2%.
The growth the province has seen in the last year is due in part to retail sales, which have increased by 2.4% since May 2009. And, as opposed to the rest of the country where housing starts have decreased by 1.6% in the last year, Alberta has seen an increase of 8.1%. The province also reports that the value of building permits saw an increase of 17.7% in the last month to close to $1.2 billion.
In the oil industry, the province's bread and butter, the average number of rigs drilling in the province went up 68.4% in the last month. The Alberta government says that in the last year, drilling activity is up 135.5%.
The Losers
Quebec reported a decline in employment by 21,000 in July - the first significant decline in the last year. Unemployment is higher than the national average, hovering around at 8.2% in the province, although in the last 12 months, employment has increased by 2.5%.
The province has seen decreases in the manufacturing, transportation and warehousing and education sectors over the last year, but reports increases in the service sector, which makes up approximately 78% of employment in Quebec. (Don't get trapped in a dying career sector. Find out The 9 Worst Career Choices Right Now.)
There were 30,000 jobs lost in full-time employment last month in Ontario, with 15,000 part-time jobs partially offsetting those numbers. But even with that offset, the province reported its first decline in employment in seven months, with education, finance, insurance and real estate taking a big hit. Ontario reports that even though the manufacturing sector also saw decreases last month, there are still 5,000 more jobs in the field than this time last year.
Slow Overall
There were very slight increases in employment in east coast provinces Prince Edward Island (+1.1%), Newfoundland and Labrador (+0.5%) and New Brunswick (+0.4%) in the month of July. Nationally, the education sector saw high job losses, with 65,000 fewer workers in teaching at the primary and secondary level and custodial work. There were 30,000 fewer workers in finance, insurance and real estate this past month, bringing those industries back to the same level they were at this time last year.
Statistics Canada reports that the industries with the highest growth rates nationally are construction, professional, scientific and technical services and in health care. (Learn how to answer some of the hardest interviewer questions and scenarios. Read Tips To Beat Tough Interviews.)

Hinna Hi Abby & Shanida, I would also like to travel to Europe through interrail and was hoping for some company too. I am ok with travelling cheap, so yeah hostels, couch surfing.. I will be 24+ next year going on 25. I was also hoping to head over to Belgium to attend Tomorrowland, it'll be on 26, 27 & 28 July. If you ladies are interested let's chat more.

Inlage 5 comes with a nicer Sketch Panel based on the Windows 7 Math Input or Text Input Panel. On "Insert" it copies a Bitmap into the Clipboard and pastes it directly to any active window like the Text or Math Input Panel. It's standalone and free-to-use:

It would be even much nicer if the sketch is saved as vector-graphic.
@crazyT, beat me to it. Completely agree with you 🙂
Yes please replace the Inlage 5 drawings with vector based drawing. Would be useful for tablets!
