Ward's attorney, Scott Braden, an assistant federal public defender, issued this statement:
"Bruce Ward was convicted of capital murder in 1990 and the State Supreme Court has previously upheld his conviction. The Court granted a stay of Ward's scheduled execution today but offered no reason for doing so. Attorney General Rutledge is evaluating options on how to proceed."
"We are grateful that the Arkansas Supreme Court has issued a stay of execution for Bruce Ward so that they may consider the serious questions presented about his sanity. He deserves a day in court for that, but in Arkansas the rules do not permit that. Instead, they give the power to director of the department of corrections to decide whether the department can execute someone or not. That is both unfair and unconstitutional.Ward, 61, was sentenced to die in Pulaski County in 1990. He's been described as having severe schizophrenia and having delusions. His lawsuit seeking to stop the execution quoted medical authorities as saying his prolonged incarceration in isolation had contributed to his condition.
"The United States Supreme Court requires that a death row prisoner be competent for execution, that is, have a rational understanding of the punishment he is about to suffer and the reason why he is to suffer it. (Ford v. Wainwright and Panetti v. Quarterman). Mr. Ward's severe and life long schizophrenia and delusions, such as seeing demon dogs at the foot of his bed, have left him incompetent for execution under the constitutional standard: he has no rational understanding of the punishment he is slated to suffer or the reason why he is to suffer it. In fact, he does not believe he will ever be executed and believes he will walk out of prison a free man to great acclaim and riches. His nearly three decades in solitary confinement have only worsened his severe mental illness."

For the first few days after arriving on the island, we noticed Carina didn't venture off much or play with the other monkeys. She sat on the roof of the house looking in everyday,waiting for you to come outside.
Category / peru
On Monday at 11:59am Melusca came over to sit under the house and we noticed Carlos was busy running around, surrounding the premises while keeping the other monkeys at a distance. We soon realized that she was in the process of giving birth, but the baby didn't look healthy.
After leaving La Isla De Los Monos in January, we continued working with the project from home.
The night before we arrived in Iquitos, Flaca gave birth to her baby! For the first few days after it was born, we were unable to get close enough to see it because Martin (the father) has been doing a great job protecting her.
Carina is the island's newest rescue and she has an amazing donation story! For the first two years of her life she lived with a family in Iquitos as an illegal pet, tied up at her waist.
When I boarded my plane home in January, I knew that I was leaving the island as I knew it at that moment, forever. Fast forward three short months and already so much has changed. The babies we helped raise are completely different monkeys now.
Of course the first stop we made was the ice cream store to order the biggest bowl of Aguaje and Passion Fruit ice cream we could find.
Flying into the Amazon from Panama gave us a completely different (but just as breathtaking) view of the jungle, compared to when we came in from Lima. I don't think seeing the river from the air will ever get old.
3 months without monkeys is a little too long for me at this point in my life so Shannon and I have decided its time to venture back our little island in the Amazon.
When I was in first grade, I learned about the Amazon rainforest. Like most 6 year olds, I could not fully understand the complexity of such a place but for some reason I was able to grasp just how powerful this special area of the world was. The vision of dense canopies, wildlife I never [...]

Egypt Noir
Oriental / Egypt
15.00 €
Over the past few decades, western archeologists unearthed the remains of an advanced Black African civilization thousands of years older than Egypt's under the deserts of Sudan. But they could have just as easily discovered the funky echoes of this lost world at certain Cairo hotspots by spending an evening with the rollicking music of the city's Nubians. Egypt Noir brings together decades of Nubian urban wedding songs, giving an unprecedented overview of the neglected musical achievements of this unsung people. The enhanced CD "Egypt Noir" also offers a window into Nubian music's global past and present, with a visual tour of the great "Orientalist" paintings of the nineteenth century, images reflecting European artists' sensual vision of Egypt and Nubia, and a brand new tribal house mix of Mahmoud Fadl's "United Nubians."

Report Number Five - Freedom Day
By: Jeff Head, August 23, 2001
Tuesday, August 21st, was another beautiful day, a day everyone who was gathered with us in Klamath was excied about, and a day that we felt sure that thousands of travelers were excited about. We were not to be disappointed.
My son, Jared, and I got up and had breakfast. We spoke briefly with Bill Jasper of the New American magazine who had arrived late the night before as we were completing our report from yesterday. Then we ate another great breakfast provided by those wonderful cooks who were feeding any and every one who came to help.
Soon after this, it was time to go over to downtown Klamath and meet and be a part of the parade/procession of convoys coming to the Courthouse to deliver the large bucket. We determined we would meet up with the horse riders who would be leading the parade. It seems, in an effort to reduce congestion, and perhaps to hold down the numbers coming into downtown, the city had agreed to a permit of opny ten vehicles. We knew hundreds would be coming in with donations who would want to be a part. These folks, in the same menner that they had applied throughout this crisis, figured out how to get more people in the parade ... nothing was said by the city about how many horses could be in the parade!
So, Jared and I met the calvary detachment of the Bucket Brigade over in Veteran's Park right near downtown. We then walked with them over to sprin street where we were to meet the convoys coming up 6th street. As we met, and the parade formed, I was impressed. There were close to, if not over 100 riders and Jared and I were placed near the middle where we could view the riders in front and behind.
"Yes, I hope President Bush is watching this from the comfort of his ranch in Texas. I hope he will remember the people of Klamath Basin, these farmers and ranchers who helped put him in office. I hope he will come here and help them by resolving this crisis."
I didn't know it at the time, but that clip was later to be aired on CNN several times.
When we arrived at the courthouse, the crowd was very large. The court house and the court house annex sit right across main street from each other. They have fairly large common areas in front of each which makes for a large open area. In this area, up on the steps of each building and all long the road were now ammassed perhaps 3000-4000 people. They cheered loudly as the convoy came up behind the riders, particularly as the bucket came up. The chant of "Turn the water on!", and "Keep the water on!" began in ernest now.
After these speeches, the events retired to the fairgrounds. Before we went, myself and Jared were photographed infront of the bucket along with a local man, Lonnie, whom we had come to know over the last several weeks and who was helping with the events that day.
Helen Chenowith-Hage gave the closing speech. It was a fiery, hard hitting one that revealed the real agenda of control and marxist ideology behind these efforts. Sadly, Jared and I could only listen to this speech and read it later. We had to leave just before it sytarted for our 7-8 hour drive back home. Our hearts and our minds are with these people and we are committed to help them see victory in this struggle and make it a template for similar victories all across our nation in the future. Here is the transcript of Helen Chenowith-Hages speech:
HELEN CHENOWETH – HAGE AT KLAMATH FALLS August 21, 2001With that, we will leave you with these beautiful pictures of the Klamath Basin and Klamath Lake (note - the lake is full) as we saw them from Stukel Mountain and as seen from Hagelstein Mountain. Photos here were by Sean Finnegan and then put into panaorama by myself.

Context and background to Dutch freelance journalist finding of MH17 wreckage and possible human remains
Dutch freelance journalist Michel Spekkers who is making a documentary on the situation in Eastern Ukraine found in early January 2017 bones and small parts of wreckage which belonged to the Boeing 777 shot down at July 14 2014
Spekkers entered Eastern Ukraine via the Russia border (which is illegal). Spekkers left Ukraine at January 6 to Moscow.
- A Dutch freelance journalist Spekkers found bones and wreckage , put it in a garbage bag and took it from the barrack where it was kept.
- Upon arrival at Schiphol airport, Dutch police seized all the media (SD, hard disk), laptop, mobile phone and camera including the bag with wreckage parts.
- Spekkers around 2004 -2007 was in US and Dutch jails for over two years because of scam, falsifying credit cards and travelers checks
- Spekkers started a poll on Twitter what to do with the bag full of parts and bones.
- Dutch prosecution service stated it is still unsafe to recover wreckage parts. Which is nonsense.
- This is one of many occasions in which journalists reported about wreckage and bones. The Dutch should have cleaned it all. Big mistake they did not.
- Some of Dutch press suggested their readers it was very likely these bones were human remains. Which is not proven.
- Spekkers collaborates with notorious pro Russia freelance journalist Graham Phillips.
- Many regular media like VTM and RTL Nieuws found wreckage and bones months after the crash
- Graham Phillips and partner Patrick Lancaster made several videos in the past showing bones and wreckage at the crashsite
One of the pieces Spekkers found was this indicator of seat location.
Not only he found small parts of wreckage, he also found a few small remains of bones. These could be from people onboard the aircraft. However it is far more likely these are animal remains. Dutch press however suggested these were very likely human remains. Spekkers put the bones in a garbage bag but later put these in other, more respectfull bags.
For example EenVandaag journalist Emil Vaessen who states on Twitter " Spekkers tells he very likely found human remains on the crash site". In the January 6 actual radio interview Spekkers does not state these are likely human remains. "He fears the bones could be of human beings".
In Dutch newspaper Noord Hollands Dagblad is stated that Spekkers also found "belongings". It is not clear if these are personal belongings of passengers.
When I asked Spekkers on Twitter about the location he found the bones, he could not tell. He wanted to look at the GPS data of his photos first. However Stefan Beck who was with Spekkers in Donbass (not during the visit to the crashsite) mentioned on his website the bones were found in the barrack.
However in Brabants Dagblad Spekkers states "I am aware how a bone looks like. I found these at a location which indicates it could be of one of the victims"
Spekkers put the bones and wreckage parts in a garbage bag and started a poll on Twitter asking his followers where he should bring the garbage bag to. Choices were: Dutch Parliament, Dutch prosecution service or his mother.
Spekkers got a lot of criticism on this poll which he started at January 4. In NH Dagblad he stated "until Friday (Jan 6) nobody had criticized me for that poll". Which is incorrect. A user named Pieter999 stated at Jan 4″you are a bigger asshole than I thought you were" as a response to the poll.
On Twitter Spekkers later regrets he used a garbage bag and started a poll.
Spekkers left Eastern Ukraine for Moscow on January 6. Then he flew to Warsaw. On Saturday January 7 he flew to Amsterdam. He will meet Dutch Police at Schiphol airport immediately after his arrival.
Dutch Police Tweet saying "a detective and member of LTFO (Forensic Team) will accept goods of Spekkers. These might be from MH17 crash site.
Upon arrival at Schiphol Dutch police not only took the wreckage and bones, but also SD cards, Hard disks, camera's, telephones and laptop. This was not agreed beforehand. Police took all the video material from all of the days Spekkers was in Ukraine. Agreed was just the material showing the wreckage and the packing in bags of wreckage.
Dutch police stated that all the material will be sealed and stored. Possibly it will be used later in the investigation according a police spokesman.
Dutch NOS reports here about the seizure of all the video equipment. Nu.nl reports here.
Old news
What Spekkers found is basically old news. Back in December 2014 Belgium TV showed the same barrack which Spekkers visited and showed there were many wreckage parts stored.
In January 2015 Graham Philllips published this video. It shows likely the same barrack which Spekkers visited in January 2017. The video shows what could be hair of a human and also shows bones.
In July 2015 Patrick Lancaster, a freelance journalist related to Graham Phillips, published a video in which bones could be seen.
In March 2016, Jeroen Akkermans, report for Dutch RTL Nieuws wrote in this article titled MH17, een tussenbalans: 'De waarheid dreigt te ontsporen' about bones he found on the crashsite.
Akkermans found about a bucket full of bones scattered around a small area. He asked the mayor who said it could be of animals dumped by farmers. The next day the bones were gone.
There has been a lot of manipulation on all kind of things related to MH17. In the media, on the wreckage. So bones on the crashsite could be put there for propaganda reasons.
The response of the next of kin
Many of the next of kin were shocked. As NH Dagblad reports here "Nabestaanden boos na vondst spullen MH17: "Dit hakt er zwaar op in". Ergernis over meenemen spullen MH17 (Telegraaf)
The response by the Dutch prosecutor
The Dutch prosecution service send at Friday January 6 this email to the relatives.
The investigation team has taken notice of the messages that have been placed on the twitter account of a Dutch journalist called Michel Spekkers. Spekkers claims to have found possible human remains on one of the crash sites. He also claims to have found other items that can be related to the crash. The investigation team has contacted this journalist and has asked him firmly to hand over these possible human remains and other items as soon as possible to the Dutch authorities, in order for them to be investigated forensically in The Netherlands.
A spokesman of the Dutch prosecutor told Algemeen Dagblad:
,,Dat daar nu nog steeds van alles gevonden wordt, is logisch", aldus een woordvoerder van het Landelijk Parket van het Openbaar Ministerie. ,,Het toestel kwam in een groot gebied terecht, waar het nu nog steeds onrustig en onveilig is. Dat maakt het bergen erg lastig." De kans dat er nog menselijke resten in het gebied liggen, is daarom groot, volgens de woordvoerder.
Translation: That all kind of wreckage is still found is logical. The aircraft came down in a large area, where it is still not peacefull and safe. That makes recovery very difficult. The possibility that human remains are still in the area is big"
Both Spekker and Stefan Beck who is in the area as well state it is very quiet and safe.
We can only guess why these wreckage parts are not removed from the barrack. My personal guess is bureaucracy. Many Dutch organizations were involved in recovery (Ministry of Defense, DSB, Dutch Prosecution service, Dutch and Australian Police). Probably nobody bothered to collect or destroy the remaining wreckage.
Recovery of wreckage
The Dutch Safety Board coordinated the recovery of wreckage in 2014. DSB at that time stated that it could not recover all wreckage. Due to the safety situation and limited time, it only recovered parts relevant for the investigation into the downing of MH17. An agreement was made with the mayors of surrounding villages that parts still in the crash area would be collected by locals. These parts are brought to a couple of barracks. One of those is near the village of Grabovo. This is a blogpost with more information.
Belgium TV station VTM visited the barrack in December 2014.
Graham Phillips made the photo below showing the same shed/barrack. Screenshot taken from this video.
It seems Spekkers visited the very same barrack in January 2017 as Phillips and VTM did months earlier . This is a photo taken from a newspaper article which published an article written by Spekkers.
And this photo was published on the site of Stefan Beck. It shows the shed visited by Spekkers. It is almost certain the same shed seen in the photos above.
About Michel Spekkers
Spekkers is currently a freelance journalist. According Dutch newspaper BN de Stem he is a former criminal. In 2004 Spekkers was locked up in a Texas prison for 21 months for falsifying credit cards and travelers checks. Before that he was featured in three episodes of Dutch Tros Opgelicht, a program about people who do all kind of scams. Spekkers was at the age of 18 owner of website Bulkverkoop.com selling electronics, but he never delivered goods ordered. One of the episodes were shown on Dutch tv at February 7, 2004.
After his prison time in the US, Spekkers was in Dutch prison for another 7 months. Later he became a politician for SP in Breda. He worked f0r two years in Venezuala as freelance journalist. Back in the Netherlands he was homeless. This is a 2016 interview in NoordHollands Dagblad.
The bio of Spekkers as shown on his website.
The Graham Phillips connection
The credibility of Spekkers is certainly not increased by his relation to UK freelance journalist Graham Phillips. Phillips is a notorious pro Russia guy covering the Donbass with some very unethical methods. Phillips is seen here with Igor Stelkov. He is currently being sued by the families of eighteen passengers who were killed when forces under his command allegedly shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight. (Wikipedia)
An Ukraine man who was in the army defending his country was captured by Russian forces . He was interviewed by Graham Phillips while in an ambulance during the exchange of prisoners of war. The man lost limbs and Phillips is very rude. The subtitles speak for themselves. There are many more examples of rude, unprofessional, unethical behaviour of Phillips.
On various occasions Michel Spekkers meet Graham Phillips and at least once he collaborated with him on a video about the Brexit.
Spekkers met Graham Phillips in January 2017 in Eastern Ukraine as well as this photo shows. (photo via Twitter)
Earlier the two met as well.
Dutch press coverage of the news
Various newspapers reported about the finding of Spekkers. Some reported about what happened. None mentioned that bones were found in 2014, 2015 and 2016. None of the media reported about the protocol in which locals were requested to collect wreckage and store it in the barrack, which Spekkers visited.
Some media made nonsense headlines. For example Dutch newspaper BN De Stem . The headline was "former politician Breda takes "possibly human remains" in a garbage bag.
Until now it has not been confirmed the bones which were found were indeed from humans.
Belgium newspaper HLN did the same sort of headline. After 2,5 year: "still many (human) remains on MH17 crashsite"
A couple of regional newspapers like NoordHollands Dagblad published this two pages article

Curfew relaxed in Indian city after clashes
July 28 , 2014
Officials in Uttar Pradesh, India's most populated state, have relaxed a curfew in Saharanpur city after three people died and 20 were injured in clashes between Sikh and Muslim groups.
Around 40 people have been arrested for the violence, which began over a land dispute between the two communities. While communal violence is not infrequent in India, fighting between Muslims and Sikhs is uncommon.
In September 2013, more than 40 people died in rioting between Hindus and Muslims in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar district.

Kids More Likely to Be Overweight If Mom Gains Too Much in Being pregnant or After: – MONDAY, Oct. 19, 2015 – – Ladies who gain too much weight during and after pregnancy could increase the risk that their child will be overweight or obese in adolescence, a new study from holland suggests. The analysis researchers explained that a mother's excessive weight gain during pregnancy could be tied to adjustments in her chemistry that make the child much more likely to be overweight or obese synmcg.com . The mother's pounds gain after having a baby and the child's subsequent excess weight gain most likely reflect the family's way of living and health behaviors, the scholarly study authors said. One U.S. Doctor mentioned the importance of both factors.
18, 2015 – – Teenagers with bulimia recover quicker when their parents are involved in their treatment, new research reports. Traditionally, parents have been excluded from the procedure and counseling of teens with bulimia, the researchers said. But, the study's authors discovered that having parents are likely involved within their children's treatment was eventually more effective. 'Parents need to be actively involved in the treatment of kids and teens with feeding on disorders,' said the study's leader, Daniel Le Grange, the Benioff UCSF professor in children's health at the University of California, San Francisco Benioff Children's Hospital San Francisco.

Gatsas suggests taking 'Safe Station' plan statewide
LONDONDERRY – Manchester Mayor Ted Gatsas says his city's 'Safe Station' program is "saving lives."
And in a one-on-one interview with NH1 News, the Republican candidate for governor pushed back at Gov. Maggie Hassan's claim that he politicized the recent shooting of two Manchester police officers. And Gatsas said "there's not a lot of substance" in the economic plan presented by state Sen. Jeanie Forrester, a rival for the GOP gubernatorial nomination.
'Safe Station' is program that opens the doors of firehouses in New Hampshire's largest city to those addicted to illegal drugs, in hopes of preventing overdoses. Asked about the program, Gatsas raved "have you seen the statistics about 'Safe Station'. The number of people that have come in. it's incredible. This program's saving lives."
Asked if he would spread the program state wide if elected to the Corner Office, Gatsas said "I would hope that it would be looked at in communities throughout the state a lot sooner than November."
Two Manchester police officers were shot and injured a week and a half ago. At the time of the shootings, Gov. Maggie Hassan was out of the state at the state, attending a fundraiser for her expensive Democratic challenge against Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte. Hassan did visit the injured officers upon her return to the Granite State.
Answering a question from WMUR-TV early last week, Gatsas said " I would have thought wherever she was, she would have come into town to see how those officers were."
Asked about that comment, Hassan told NH1 News last week that "what I think is truly unfortunate here is that somebody's politicizing what was a very serious event."
Gatsas responded on Tuesday, telling NH1 News "I can only tell you that I was there for those police officers. I was called at two o'clock and I was at the hospital at two-ten. When I hear that a police officer is being shot in this city, it's important for me to be there. So I will leave it up to the Manchester Police Department to understand what I was doing and I don't politicize anything. I just make statements."
State Sen. Jeanie Forrester announced her economic plan last week. To date, she's the only gubernatorial candidate to hold a news conference to present a wide ranging set of economic proposals for the state.
Speaking with reporters, Forrester chided her rival candidates for not putting out their own plans, saying "I've been surprised that there's been so little dialogue about public policy in the campaign for governor."
Asked if her jab was fair, Gatsas said "I certainly leave that up to her. If she wants to criticize people, that's fine. I looked at her economic plan. I'm not sure that's something that I would advocate for because there's not a lot of substance in it."
The Forrester campaign responded.
The state senator's top political adviser, Mike Dennehy, told NH1 News "we look forward to debating the substance of everyone's economic plans when and if Mayor Gatsas and the other candidates release one. At this point Jeanie Forrester remains the only candidate with a plan."
Gatsas is backing Donald Trump as his party's presidential nominee. And he said he's comfortable campaigning with Trump in New Hampshire.
"I have no problem with that. I believe that he's the candidate that we're going to be campaigning with and certainly he is much, much, better than the alternative,"Gatsas said.
Gatsas spoke with NH1 News on Tuesday, minutes before meeting with employees at the 603 Brewery in Londonderry.

A research team from MIT's Tangible Media Group has developed InForm, a dynamic shape display that can shape shift to render 3D content physically.
The surface is made up of around 1000 pins — long, vertically assembled square sticks arranged in a square grid. In many ways, it works like one of those executive pin toys that allow the user to imprint shapes onto a surface made out of hundreds of pins. Each pin can be moved up and down individually by actuators to create a topographical rendering of an object — it might be a city plan, a data visualisation or simply the outline of someone's hands. The physical form of the surface can be augmented with mapped projections, thanks to an overhead Kinect and projector.
The shape-changing graphical user interface has been created by Daniel Leithinger and Sean Follmer, under the guidance of Hiroshi Ishii.
The researchers demonstrate a number of applications for the surface, including turning the surface into an interactive surface — with buttons emerging on demand — and making the surface recreate any 3D object shown to a Kinect, for example a user's hands are shown as pixelated, Lego-like appendages. Similarly the surface can be made to detect and interact with physical objects placed on it by altering its geometry. So, for example, you might place a ball on top of the surface and the pins will assemble into a ramp to move the ball or create a wall around the ball to contain it.
InForm works particularly well for presenting geospatial data such as maps and architectural models. "Urban planners and Architects can view 3D designs physically and better understand, share and discuss their designs," explains the team on a microsite about the technology.
Another application demonstrated by the team is theMarble Answering Machine (designed by Durrell Bishop), a tangible interface for receiving, storing and playing back voice messages, which are represented as physical marbles. Marbles are stored at the top of a little "hill" created by the interface. When the person receives a message, a marble is manipulated by the pins and moved into a small "well" at the bottom of the slope. To listen to the message, users pick up the marble from the new message well and place it inside a separate "play" well. Once played, the machine moves into the "old message" well. It can be deleted by being deposited back at the top of the hill.
"Shape displays allow for new ways to create physical interfaces, beyond functionality alone. Aesthetic form is an important part of many of the devices and objects that we interact with on a daily basis. Shape displays begin to let interface designers create radically different physical forms for different applications. The Marble Answering Machine example points towards this type of use, where form is more than functional; it is also evocative and emotional. This introduces an opportunity for physical motion design," explain researchers in their paper about InForm.

Is Dimes the place for you? Yes, if you want a very satisfying breakfast sandwich, with perfectly scrambled eggs, cheddar, avocado and pickled peppers. Also very good hot sauce, if you like your hot sauce on the sweet side and not all that hot, as I sometimes do. But you also have to enjoy being thisclose to the table next to you, and not mind paying $5 for a thimble of (admittedly excellent) juice, or being served by women who appear to be sleepwalking.

ARKANSAS POST-GAME QUOTESArkansas Head Coach Bobby Petrino:"Wow, what a game. I'm proud of our team. We dedicated it to [injured running back] Dennis Johnson and we got to talk to him before the game. It was a hard football game. They came back in the second half. We were able to execute our two-minute offense and score to win the game.""I thought we did real well in the third quarter. When they scored, we responded by scoring as well. We stuttered in the fourth quarter and put our defense in a tough situation, but we got a good win. Beating Georgia was one of our goals before the season started. I thought their quarterback kept his poise. We got after him a lot. We are going to be aggressive on offense this year. We are going to go after it."Jr. QB, #15 Ryan MallettOn getting the victory:"This is a really surreal feeling. It's something I've never experienced before. This has got to be one of the greatest moments I've felt since I've played the game of football. It so rarely comes down to the wire like this. It's sometimes gone the other way for us, but now I know how it feels to get the win."On the game overall:"We're never going to have to settle. If we have to kick a field-goal for the win, then we're going to do it. That's why we love playing for coach [Bobby] Petrino. He says to go for it and we play hard. We're here to play football. Every team in the SEC is good, and we came out here and played hard today."Jr. WR, #3 Joe AdamsOn the game overall:"It's going to be loud in Fayetteville [Arkansas] next week. We're going to come with our best game. It feels good to get the first victory on the road. They came out really hard, and we just had to finish the game. Georgia is a really good football team. Everyone in the SEC is really good. You've got to be ready for every game."GEORGIA POST-GAME QUOTESGeorgia Head Coach Mark Richt:"We got better today, but we just didn't finish. We got back into it, the crowd got into it. We had all we could hope for with time offensively, but we didn't get any points on the board. We had a chance to stop them, but we didn't. We punted them down and they had a long way to go, but they got it done and we didn't.""It's not we've played two soft teams. Arkansas is very good. They got the job done and we didn't. We made a lot of progress, but we've got to finish. We got better in a lot of ways. Just to fight to turn things around being down two scores in the fourth quarter, that was huge. We turned things around and got momentum in our favor, but we did not finish. That's the next thing we've got to do.""Arkansas has an outstanding passing team. At times, we got some pressure on them, but they did a very nice job of spreading it around. They've got a lot of weapons and a great understanding of how to do it.""Mississippi State will be excited. They've got a lot of pride and want to win, too. If we stick together, which I believe we will, and keep working, we'll improve as we go. Our focus this week has to be strictly on Starkville. We'll watch film and make corrections, but the focus for the team must be, 'what can we do to win this ballgame?' They need it; we all need it."RFr. QB, #11 Aaron MurrayOn the outcome:"We just need to continue to fight. We had a chance there at the end. Coach [Mark] Richt said that we just didn't finish the drill in the fourth quarter."On the offense:"We started off sharp, had some really good drives. I thought we were moving the ball really well, but we just weren't finishing. I thought we had our sparks throughout the game."Sr. SE, #16 Kris DurhamOn the missing players:"You just have to play with who you have out there. A.J. [Green] was out, Shaun [Chapas] was out, our emotional leader, but you still have to show up and play with who you got."On the outcome:"We showed our character, but we're going to have to step it up and continue to work hard. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Coach Richt told us that we needed to play with all of our heart and leave it all the field, and I think we did, we just came up a little short and it didn't come out our way."Jr. OLB, #42 Justin HoustonOn the outcome:"We did fight hard at the end, but we have to fight at the beginning to the end. We really need to learn to play a full 60 minutes."On the defense:"I'm really proud of the defense, the way we stepped up at the beginning of the fourth quarter."RSo. ILB, #45 Christian RobinsonOn moving ahead:"We need to start focusing on next week now. We just need to work hard at getting better."On the defense:"We were putting a lot of pressure on [Arkansas quarterback Ryan] Mallett. Even if we weren't sacking him, we were definitely making him second-guess what he should do with the ball."

We photograph weddings all over Long Island and Fox Hollow is one of our absolute favorite Long Island catering halls. They have some of the best grounds you could ask for, and they could have the best venue for dramatic and creative night time wedding photos.
This is a photo of Maria and Marios. They had their wedding reception in the Winter Garden room at Fox Hollow.
One of the reasons our couples book us to capture their wedding at Fox Hollow is because we are known for our creative and candid wedding photography and videography of Fox Hollow at night.
During the newlyweds reception we went outside for 10 minutes and were able to capture this creative night time wedding photo.
I love how the brides wedding dress from Bridal Reflections lights up and shows off the brides beautiful figure.

Hello everyone!
Last weekend I went out with the Brigham Lab in search of Snowy Owls north of Regina. They were pretty hard to spot because it was pretty overcast as you can see from the photo. But we found 2 along the way despite this!
I had a great day and thanks to Kayla & Mike Burak for letting me tag along!

In today's society, we're all about convenience, which means many of us are reliant on disposable items. Over the years disposable items have almost replaced their once reusable counterparts. Unfortunately, it's come with a hefty price – destroying our planet. I'm talking about the astronomical waste problem that we have. And it's only getting worse.
But, you can do something to help. By making even small changes in your life to be a little greener, you can reduce your waste. One of the things that I talk about a lot on this blog is about periods. Mainly reusable menstrual products, which are as the name suggest, reusable. Before you click away thinking 'ugh gross', please hear me out.
How To Have An Eco Friendly Period
There are a few options to having an eco-friendly period, depending on how you like to manage it:
- Menstrual Cup
- Cloth Pads
- Eco Disposable Pads/Tampons That Are Biodegradable Or Compostable (Natracare* & TOTM, etc)
Menstrual Cups – designed to sit inside the vagina and are a brilliant alternative to tampons. Instead of absorbing blood and the natural mucous lining of the vagina, a cup will just collect your menstrual blood. They can be safely left in place for up to 12hrs at a time, depending on your flow and the capacity of the cup. Menstrual cups are available in different sizes and capacities, to cater to all different bodies and flows. There are many people who think they're too heavy for a cup, yet many menstrual cups can hold more than a tampon.
Cloth Pads – much like menstrual cups, many people also believe they are too heavy to use cloth. But the reality is that cloth can definitely cope with heavy and gushy flows. You just need to purchase a suitable absorbency and length for your needs. There are many people who use cloth to cope with the extremely heavy flow that comes with endometriosis and report the cloth works better. Cloth pads are available in a range of sizes and materials, and instead of throwing out a used pad, you just place it inside a wetbag or bucket until the end of your period. Washing is very simple, and cloth pads can be washed in the machine or by hand. Check out my getting started with cloth pads guide for more info.
Organic Cotton Pads & Tampons – If reusable products aren't your thing, then consider switching to products that are either organic cotton or 100% cotton, and can be composted or are biodegradable. Menstrual products that aren't 100% cotton/organic cotton tend to contain rayon, chlorine, plastic, and petrochemicals. These are really not great for the planet. The plastics do not biodegrade and can sit for hundreds of years totally untouched. Chances are, your menstrual waste will be around for hundreds of years! I can personally recommend trying out Natracare* or TOTM.
Why Should I Try Reusable Menstrual Products?
Did you know that on average, one menstruating person uses approx 15,000 pads or tampons in their lifetime? Or that the majority of these tampons and pads contain chemicals that are harmful to our bodies?
How about the obscene amount of menstrual waste washing up on our beaches after floating about in the ocean? Back in 2014, the MCS (Marine Conservation Society) conducted their annual 'Big Beach Cleanup'. During this event they collected 2579 pads, tampons and backing strips from off our beaches. And what's worse is that this was almost double than the previous year!
You CAN make a difference. I know some people think that they're just one person, and nothing they do will help. But that's not true. Any small change can help, and it could help influence others to do the same. Plus you'll be saving yourself some money, too.
Would you consider trying reusable menstrual products?

After receiving my property tax bill, I was surprised to see the excessive increase from 8 mills last year to 11 mills — a 37.5 percent increase this year.
I feel as a taxpayer, I, as well as all taxpayers in Milesburg borough, deserve an explanation for the excessive increase.

Come out come out wherever you are!
Today is National Coming Out Day, and I am a vocal advocate of trans people coming out and being out. I think that the greater our numbers and our visibility, the more power we have.
However, I am also aware that many people do not or cannot come out for any number of reasons, including employment, family, personal safety, or simply personal preference. But for those of you who are out, let's hear your best coming out story.
If you have been reading this blog for any length of time (thank you), or if have read a lot of my stuff (thank you), you are probably already familiar with many of my personal coming out stories. Below are three of my favorites so far:

Repeat BSODs shortly after loading desktop
This is my third thread (marked others as solved....clearly I was wrong). My computer will BSOD 3-5x after a restart within 1 minute of loading the desktop, then it will just behave like a normal computer. It does not do this in safe mode. So far I have been told to remove DaemonTools and Avast, which I have done. Minidumps are attached though I am totally open to doing something to help specify the culprit.
Of note, this problem occurred very early after installing Windows (ie the same day, not many programs installed). No idea if it is pertinent, but I have a Win7 update key and, in the interest of having a clean install without having to go through the hassle of re-installing XP again (it was a new machine), I used the method of changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/ MediaBootInstall from 1 to 0, then using CMD for "slmgr /rearm" as described in option 2 here in order to bypass the preposterous requirement for having a pre-existing XP installation (why they didnt just ask for my XP key is beyond me).
Once again thank you in advance.

Since it happened soon after an install, likely the issue can only be resolved through another install. Try this tutorial on for size and let me know how it turns out: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
|My System Specs
|06 Jan 2012
Yeah I saw that guide. Would really prefer to avoid a reinstall; do you think the source is buried deep in the windows architecture from a bad install? I bought the key online so I had to DL a .iso from windows, so if that is bad I cant really fix it....
|My System Specs
|06 Jan 2012
I wouldn't know if the ISO was bad or not, and I've had it where hardware was the cause of a bad install, so it could be anything. I'll ask Gregrocker about the best place to find an ISO for ya, and he might know a bit more on how to help you out.
|My System Specs
|06 Jan 2012
We haven't had to have the qualifying OS installed to use Upgrade version since Vista, nor does it ask for it's key during install.
Instead the booted Win7 installer will see any OS and allow use of UPgrade version key during install. If the HD is new or wiped, MS allows a workaround to avoid having to reinstall the qualifying OS. Easiest is to leave the Product Key blank during install then afterwards do the quick registry workaround given here: Clean Install with a Upgrade Windows 7 Version
Since you have question about the installer here is the official one to burn to DVD or write to flash stick using Windows 7 USB-DVD Download Tool:

A Bloomberg/YouGov survey of 1,003 online adults found that Google+ is on a trajectory to surpass other social networks, including Twitter, LinkedIn and MySpace. YouGov projects that Google+ will become the number two network after Facebook, "in the next year."
According to Michael Nardis, Head of YouGov Investment Products, "Google+ is starting off extremely strong. It's chipping away at engagement levels on Facebook and Twitter. With Google reporting 25 million accounts already and an estimated 16MM more US adults reporting that they plan to join over the coming year, Google+ can be a threat to both."
Already 13% of adult Internet users in the US have signed up for a Google+ account with another 9% planning to sign up in the next 12 months. One of the reasons is the high engagement rates among existing members:
- 45% of users report reading content once a day or more (only Facebook's 62% is higher among social networks)
- 46% of Google+ users report creating content (e.g., creating updates; posting links) at least once a week. This is on par with Twitter (42%) – which focuses on easy content creation
The survey also suggests that Google+ will likely chip away at Facebook usage and engagement:
As Google+ gains followers, it is likely to negatively impact Facebook usage. 30% of Facebook users who already use Google+ plan on cutting down time spent on Facebook this year. Ad, that 31% of early joiners report having abandoned Google+ accounts or have not yet created any content on it.
The demographics of Google+ users are significantly different from other social networks.
- 3 men for every 2 women (vs. 1 man for every 1.2 women on Facebook)
- 43% of membership is 18-29 (vs. 31% for Facebook)
- 59% has a college degree (vs. 37% for Facebook)
- 48% are Single (vs. 33% of Facebook users)
YouGov found that the network's core early base "is young, educated, single men who are heavy internet users." From this core audience, now at 25 million globally, YouGov predicted that within a year Google+ would grow to surpass other social networks in the US:
As an estimated 16 MM US online adults plan to join Google+ in the next year – substantially higher than any other social network – it is positioned to surpass Myspace, Twitter, and LinkedIn in US membership.
Only 19% of US Internet users are members of LinkedIn, but 35% of those with household incomes over $120k are members. LinkedIn users are not, however, as active as other social media users and 24% of current members plan to reduce time spent on the network.
Although 51% of all online adults check a network at least once a day, many social networks have a substantial number of members checking less than once a month:?

As local Alaskans are still reeling from Shell's decision to withdraw from the Arctic, they received another blow late last Friday from the federal government when the Department of the Interior (DOI) cancelled the Arctic offshore lease sales originally scheduled for 2016 and 2017, effectively blocking future oil and gas exploration and development in the U.S. Arctic.
After burdensome regulations imposed by the federal government led Shell to suspend its Arctic drilling program, devastated Alaskans, elected officials, and Members of Congress called Shell's decision "a major blow," "a big loss," "a punch in the gut," and "a very sad day for Alaska and for working Alaskans and Americans across the country."
After DOI announced its decision to close off the Arctic to energy exploration, Alaskans reacted with outrage, disappointment, and sorrow to what they perceived to be yet another attack on them, their economy, and their livelihoods by the federal government.
Gov. Bill Walker (I-AK) was "disappointed" about DOI's decision, lamenting that decisions to limit oil development in Alaska would create "unnecessary uncertainty and burden on our economy":
"I am disappointed by this announcement. Alaska must be able to responsibly explore and develop our rich natural resources both onshore and offshore. Any action that limits our ability to explore for more oil—to increase much-needed oil production through the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline—creates unnecessary uncertainty and burden on our economy."
Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) called DOI's decision a "stunning, short-sighted move" that was the "latest in a destructive pattern of hostility toward energy production" in Alaska:
"This is a stunning, short-sighted move that betrays the Interior Department's commitments to Alaska and the best interests of our nation's long-term energy security. Today's decision is the latest in a destructive pattern of hostility toward energy production in our state that began the first day this administration took office, and continued ever since.
It is absurd that Interior has created a regulatory environment where operators cannot have commercially viable exploration programs, because so many requirements and hurdles have been put in place, and then blames them for not moving forward. There is not a lack of interest in the Arctic – if anything, what we are seeing is a lack of interest in working with the current leadership of the Interior Department."
Senator Murkowski also said,
"So if you're an Alaskan and you're reading the headlines, you have to wonder, what's going on within Interior? Why do they have it out for us?"
Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) emphasized that DOI's decision, by taking thousands of jobs off the table, would exacerbate social problems in Alaska:
"They just took real opportunity, significant opportunities that could benefit thousands if not tens of thousands of Alaskans off the table. … That's not going to help the social problems. That's actually going to make them worse."
Rep. Don Young (R-AK) said the DOI threw Alaska a "cinder block" instead of a lifeline:
"This Administration continues to say they are committed to a balanced approach to resource development, but Alaskans are seeing that this is a falsehood. A five year plan was put on the table in vain, only to later take off the table vast swaths of the most desirable and economically feasible offshore areas. Further, their regulatory actions have not created security to invest in Alaska – they have scared off investment at the expense of the Alaskan people. When you do not offer up a valuable product, or create surety for the investment, it will not attract investors. This is a basic concept that cannot be dismissed as lack of interest from industry.
To add insult to injury, the Administration will not entertain conversations to extend the existing leases for those that have made investments in the Beaufort and Chukchi. Instead of throwing a lifeline to the State, they throw us a cinder block."
Alaska House Speaker Mike Chenault (R) said DOI's decisions were made by "patronizing bureaucrats deciding for the market and crippling our economic [sic], harming our future."
Crawford Patkotak, Chairman of the Board of the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, which represents 11,000 Native Alaskan shareholders, said DOI's announcement was another step
"by the current administration to put us back to poverty and cut our legs out from under us as we try to live the American dream and provide opportunity for our people."
Kara Moriarty of the Alaska Oil and Gas Association said DOI's decision would make it "much more difficult" for Arctic residents to develop critical infrastructure:
"With this decision, President Obama and his team are finally showing their true colors on resource development in the Arctic; obviously, the president has no desire to see Shell succeed in Alaska, and does not want to see any new companies succeed, either.
The reality is that now, as Russia and other Arctic nations begin to develop their respective natural resources, we will lack the emergency response capacity that would have inevitably have resulted from our own Arctic activity. The opportunity for Arctic residents to develop ports, search and rescue operations, and infrastructure is now much more difficult without the massive investment necessary to develop Arctic resources."
Finally, a California-based representative for activist group Center for Biological Diversity praised DOI's announcement: "This is great for the Arctic and its polar bears." But for the people who live and work in Alaska? Not so much.

I Got It On With Someone Who Accidentally Dialed the Wrong Number
Are you into totally anonymous intimacy?
"You don't know whether you've got game until you have s** with a stranger — a woman you've never seen, who's never seen you, about whom you know nothing about," said one blogger who answered a wrong phone number only to end up in an unexpected illicit affair. He took the chance on having a good time with a complete stranger, and it turned out great for him, despite all of the many things that could have gone wrong. There was one little catch about their lovemaking, and it ultimately got to his conscious.
He had the chance of a lifetime, and he decided to take it.

Event photography is among the best ways to earn money together with your camera. As well as in a troubled economy it's a safe and steady way to usher in earnings. Why? Since you cannot place a cost on recollections and individuals will invariably want their occasions to become taken with perfect precision. Regardless of how low the stock exchange goes people are likely to get wed, they will graduate, and they will have kids birthday parties. All of these are occasions that may enable you to get additional earnings.
Before you start hauling within the extra money with event photography, however, you will have to develop your portfolio. Nobody may wish to hire you if you don't have types of your projects. The easiest method to begin to build up that portfolio would be to perform a couple of occasions free of charge or get permission to tag plus a professional for many candid shots. Despite the fact that you won't be getting compensated with this, you'll be doing a couple of things. First, you'll be getting priceless experience and find out for a moment such as this job or otherwise. And next, you'll be creating images that individuals will judge your quality of labor by. Therefore the more experience you receive, the greater your images is going to be and also the more you'll be able to charge for the occasions.
To find out just how much you need to charge for the photography you will have to consider the price of your equipment, the price of your expertise, and the length of time it will require to edit the photos if necessary. You won't wish to go bankrupt obtaining the best camera gear and lenses, but because you start to make money you are able to reinvest these funds by upgrading your gear. For those who have a couple of experience and little overhead cost inside your equipment you are able to charge anywhere form $75 to $125 each hour. And also the more you need to do this the greater you'll be able to charge.
For the overall success of your event, you should look forward to hiring the services of event photography singapore The company should provide to your needs in the best manner possible. The company should offer you with great results in lowest possible time.

Since the life and vitality of our network of farms hinges on each farm's individuality and unique farm operation, the answer to "how it works" is as many and varied as farms with Bluegrass Harvest. That being said, we can offer some basic background on the core concepts and provide answers our frequently asked questions to help you narrow down your search and find the right farm for you, your family or your workplace.
CSA is much more than just a weekly delivery of food or food products. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a powerful investment in your health, community, and local economy. It's a partnership between farms and consumers that keeps independent businesses thriving, helps families eat seasonal, local produce, and charges farmers and consumers with the responsibility of building a strong, equitable food system.
In general, CSA farms sign up members from December-April (or until a farm fills up…which can often happen as early as March!) for the coming growing season. New members pay for their share of vegetables up front and receive a weekly delivery of vegetables through the 20-25 week growing season from April or May to September or October depending on the farm you select. Once you're enrolled in your farm, the real fun begins as the weekly box of freshly picked, seasonal goodies arrive at your pick-up location.
Most farms write newsletters or blogs for their membership to keep folks connected to life on the farm, introduce new veggies, and inspire new recipes and culinary adventures using all the contents of your weekly box. Opportunities abound to engage with YOUR FARM, to interact with YOUR FARMERS, and to truly become a part of the farm community through on-farm events and special activities. You've made the commitment to buy from a local farm and eat the freshest food available; we encourage you to engage in your greater farm community and bring your commitment full circle.
Do you enjoy cooking at home, or want to learn? Do you like the flavors and challenges of seasonal eating and the idea of committing to your food producers? Then CSA could be great for you!
Your CSA Share reflects 3 things: the Kentucky Harvest calendar, the diversity of each of our farm offerings, and the always changing Kentucky weather. Most farms include recipes in their newsletters.
A regular share may feed up to four healthy vegetable eaters every week. A small share could be a good option for one or two consumers.
Additional products may be available through your farm (meat, eggs, honey, cheese, etc.) Any additional products other than vegetables comes at an additional charge. The key to happiness with your CSA is your commitment to purchase and utilize fresh food. Pay attention to your cooking and eating habits and sign up for a share size that is right for your family. Some of our farms employ season extension practices such as hoop houses or root cellars to offer early and late season shares. The longevity, content and delivery schedule for early and late season shares often varies significantly from farm-to-farm, so be sure to check the details of your farm's offerings to know what you've signed up for!
Given the amazing quantity of high quality farms serving our communities, finding YOUR farm can be daunting. Bluegrass Harvest-endorsed produce farms must grow all of their products on farm, and be certified organic or in transition to organic certification. ALL farms must demonstrate an ability to provide a high level of customer service.
East End Residents
If you are choosing a CSA for the first time, be sure to read our tips on choosing a CSA farm to determine which farm will best meet your needs and expectations.
Consider the following:
• Location of Pick-Up Site – With multiple delivery sites in the region, there are plenty of options. There is likely a Pickup site near you!
• Length of Delivery Season – The CSA season begins in April or May, and ends anywhere from September to October. Many farms offer additional early season or late season share options.
•Price of Share - A direct comparison of share prices can be misleading as farms have a different number of deliveries, crops, size, and delivery options. In general, a Regular vegetable share (feeding ~2 adults, 2 kids) for 20 weeks costs approximately $500-$650. Divide the total share cost by the number of weeks to get a per-week cost as you compare shares.
• Specialty Items – Farms offer a wide variety of seasonal produce, eggs, or meats. Additional specialty items may include fruit, flowers, honey, cheese, canned goods, large or bulk shares, u-picks and more at an additional charge!
• Produce Variety – Do you eat with a sense of adventure? Some CSAs offer a wide array of produce with many different varieties of vegetables. Others offer a more tried-and-true selection of popular produce. Ask the farmer what you can expect in your boxes throughout the season.
Once you've decided what's important to you, it's time to start searching for YOUR farm.
Visit the Bluegrass Harvest Farm List for profiles of all of our organic farms.
CSA is so much more than a bag of groceries. When you think about the value of your CSA share, there's a lot to consider. Buying directly from the farm means you are buying the very freshest, tastiest food. Vegetable varieties are grown for quality, flavor and diversity – not shelf life. CSA helps you learn where your food comes from, how it's grown, and how to prepare it. When you join a CSA, you keep your food dollars local and support a small family farm. Becoming a CSA member means you're joining a community of conscious eaters. Invest in good, clean food and the creation of a safe, community-based food system in the Bluegrass state!
For more information on how to choose a farm, or for assistance in using the tools on this website, please contact Bluegrass Harvest at firstname.lastname@example.com or 859-231-0054 and ask for Sandy Noble Canon.
All share purchases are non refundable.
CSA Farm share members get the first pick of the bounty ready for harvest each week, however, because of the inherent risks of farming, farms cannot guarantee what the season will bring and what vegetables will be harvested. You share the risk and reward with the farm as sometimes you will receive more or less than you expected of certain items. Items in your produce share will change weekly as reflected by seasonality and what can be successfully grown in Kentucky.
If you have questions please contact us.

Written Online Appointments
All students and alumni are welcome to schedule written online appointments. In a written online appointment, your consultant will use your appointment hour to read your writing and provide written feedback to you in comment bubbles in the margins of your document. For multimodal projects (such as websites or videos), we will write you a summary of our suggestions. Depending on your concerns, we may also record short videos that provide additional verbal and visual explanations. You will receive your feedback by the end of your appointment hour.
You are not required to be present/available during a written online appointment, but the collaborative features of Google Docs do allow you to interact with your consultant during your appointment time, if you would like. You can also schedule a live online appointment and work with us over text-chat.
You have two ways to schedule appointments with us.
- Schedule one-time appointments in our scheduling system. Please view our scheduling instructions if you have not scheduled with us before.
- Request a recurring appointment for 4 or more weeks, by submitting a form on our website.
You can inform us of any learning/technology accommodations or needs when you schedule.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Students are responsible for sending both their writing and their writer's note before their appointment time begins. Please view our written instructions and video below.
To respect our consultants' privacy, you should send all communication and documents to firstname.lastname@example.com. Do not attempt to contact your consultant at their personal email address. These emails will not be answered and will not be used for your appointment.
Send Your Writer's Note
Your consultant will expect a Writer's Note that answers the 3 questions below. You must send a new Writer's Note for each written online appointment.
- Tell us about your project and the expectations for the final draft. Attach any prompts or guidelines.
- Give us a summary of the content in your current draft: what is the goal of your project and what are you doing to achieve it?
- Where do you feel confident in your project? Where are you not confident, and what would you like to work on in this appointment?
Your Writer's Note is extremely important for your consultant to understand your assignment and your concerns, so they know how to focus their time and feedback. You can also provide information outside of these questions, if you think it would be helpful to your consultant. See our example writer's note below.
Example Writer's Note
Hi, Luke!
Attached is my writing for review and my writer's note. I inserted some comments on specific areas where I had questions :) Parts that I've highlighted are pieces of writing that I either need to expand on or incorporate elsewhere.
1. Tell us about your project and the expectations for the final draft. Attach any prompts or guidelines.
I'm writing a cover letter that is part of my application for a graduate assistant administrative position at the Raptor Writing Center. The readers will expect to learn details about my job experience and my ability to perform the job at their writing center. The job description and application requirements are attached.
2. Give us a summary of the content in your current draft: what is the goal of your project and what are you doing to achieve it?
My goal is to really try to convey the key experiences I've had as a writing center consultant and administrator over the past few years. I start by talking about my experiences as a consultant first and then move into talking about my experience as an administrator. At the end, I try to relate this experience to what I could do at the Raptor Writing Center.
3. Where do you feel confident in this piece of writing? Where are you not confident and what would like to work on in this session?
I'm confident in the sense that I think I've managed to mention everything I want to in a relatively coherent way. In terms of what I want to work on, I really want to (1) make my ideas a little more concise, because it still feels rambly (especially under the "research" heading), and (2) make sure that I'm talking about similar ideas together and that it doesn't sound like I'm trying to say too much.
I'll try to jump on and work along with you if I can! Thank you! - Ryan
Send Your Writing
You can send your writing in the same email as your Writer's Note or as a separate email. You can send us any of the following document types. Please do not send PDF files.
- Google Docs or Google Slides (preferred)
- Microsoft Word
- PowerPoint
- Links to your website, video, etc.
Feel free to insert comments into your document to ask your consultant questions or leave them notes.
If you send a Google Doc, you are welcome to be present in the Doc during your appointment, although this is not required. If you are present, we encourage you to respond to your consultant's comments and/or chat with them, when possible. You can let your consultant know that you will be present in your Writer's Note.
No-Show Policy
If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so as soon as possible by returning to our scheduling system (see our cancelling instructions). If you do not cancel your appointment or do not send your writing and your writer's note, your appointment will be marked as a "no-show." After 2 no-shows, you will lose access to your online account and must schedule by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.

Railtex, Earls Court, London 14th -16th June 2011
08 July 2011
Anord returned to Londons Earls Court along with a further 423 exhibitors taking part in the Railtex 2011 event. Organised by Mack Brooks Exhibitions, it was the 10th event in a series of successful trade shows.
As the need for extra passenger and freight services continues to increase, investment in rail remains the core part of the UK's transport and investment strategy. For that reason Railtex was the ideal event for Anord to showcase its new AMS LV Switchgear solutions to prospective buyers.
Over the past couple of months, Anord has rolled out its CPD Seminar on the introduction of BSEN 61439 Standard for LV Switchgear and the implications of this new standard within the rail industry.
Mike O'Connor, Anord's Sales Director commented: " Railtex was a first for Anord and the timing of the event was important as it provided us with the platform to showcase what we have to offer, in terms of switchgear solutions and performance ".

My Darling Angel
Mj was very upset when I told her she couldn't join their program on next week for I will not be around but since she was persistent. I went to her school yesterday and approached her teacher what would be the things she needed so she can join.
I thought I have to make the wings myself, in the contrary I was able to find a costume exactly as it requires with a fair price. It was only almost 400 pesos and it already has a dress, halo, and oh the wings.
I bought it without any hesitation, even the money was intended for my birthday at home. I will just shorten the budget for the grocery. Instead one kilo of meat I'll just make it 800 grams since it's only me and the family will celebrate it.
Mj was surprised when I showed her the costume. She was so excited with the upcoming event. I would probably just look at the pictures when I return home from Singapore.
As my best poser as she ever be. She showed me her sweet smile:

Zakarias Johansen Joins the Cube Action Team for 2018

The 26-year-old from Norway will join Greg Callaghan and Gusti Wildhaber on the starting grid for the coming season. Nico Lau and Daniel Schemmel leave the CUBE Action Team.
Irishman Greg Callaghan's Enduro World Series victory in Madeira and his third place in the EWS overall series ranking underscored yet another successful season in 2017 for the six-year-old CUBE Action Team. From 1 January 2018, Norwegian-born Zakarias Johansen will join the CUBE enduro squad to ride for the German bike manufacturer alongside Greg Callaghan and Gusti Wildhaber.
"It's a dream come true and a huge honour to be working with some of the best names in the bike industry. I'm hoping it will take my career and, of course, my riding skills to the next level," says Zakarias. "The new bike is a deadly weapon – the CUBE engineers have done a great job on it. You immediately get a sense of their experience and they've implemented the feedback from the Action Team perfectly. I would even say that it's the best bike I have ever ridden. My first ever run on the new racing machine definitely sticks in my memory: I didn't know anything about the bike itself and was stoked to see how the geometry matched my style. You should have seen the massive grin on my face when I got back to the tech zone afterwards. It's perfect for me!"
Back in December, Zakarias visited the CUBE headquarters in Waldershof to finalise plans for the upcoming season with the CUBE Action Team and to get a feel for the brand itself. "I jumped at the chance to visit CUBE and see behind the scenes. I already knew that CUBE was the biggest bike manufacturer in Europe, but actually seeing the place for myself was really impressive. They have around 500 people working there now, and it was cool to see how passionate everyone is about what they do. Many of them use every free minute to go biking themselves and test out new products. It was like being welcomed into a huge family and I am super happy to be a part of it."
Zakarias and his two teammates will spend January and February at training camps preparing for the 2018 season and all three are looking forward to the first stop of the Enduro World Series in Chile on 24 March. This year's EWS will also call at Colombia, Italy, France, Spain, Canada and Austria. "Zakarias is a fantastic addition to the team and a valuable training partner for Greg and Gusti. We are confident he has the skills and strength to compete against the top names in the World Series. It is our team's job to guide him there," says Claus Wachsmann, team manager for the CUBE Action Team.
Daniel Schemmel and Nico Lau will not be donning the Action Team jerseys as of this coming season. Nico is retiring from racing and will stay with CUBE as a brand ambassador. We wish them both the best of luck.

He finished 25th overall in the EWS last year, his first year doing the full series. He finished 22th, 33rd, 34th, 9th, 32nd and 21st (two DNF) riding on the overall top team, Ibis. Prior to that he has won the Norwegian Enduro series (without participating in all races) in 2015 and 2016, and the won the german enduro series in 2016. He raced downhill before that.

He stepped back from full EWS racer to brand ambassador. He's got two kids and sounds like his priorities are evolving. There's an article on it a few days back. It always seemed like he could come out and win any race he entered.
