Hoosac Range, North Adams
Three-mile ridgeline trail over dramatic cliffs to Spruce Hill, offering outstanding hiking, snowshoeing, views and birdwatching during raptor migration. The short 1.5 mile roundtrip loop to Sunset Rock is a fine alternative for those without the time or stamina to get all the way to Spruce Hill. Alternative: spot a car and descend Spruce Hill via the Busby and/or Blackburnian Trail.
Hoosac Range Trail Map & Guide
GPS: 42.6965, -73.0648 (Trailhead parking)
Special features: High elevation long views: prepare for the sublime! Cool rock cliffs formed by "glacial plucking" with trees twisted into fantastical forms by wind and ice. Blueberries at Sunset Rock and open ledges near Spruce Hill in summer. Awesome spring snowshoeing. Migratory raptors in fall, great viewing at Spruce Hill. Views over North Adams, Mount Greylock, and Florida State Forest.
Directions to parking
From Pittsfield: Take Route 8 North, at the Cumberland Farms in North Adams, take a right onto 8A. Then take a right, heading east on Route 2. The trailhead parking is on the right after the Wigwam Cabins.
From the Hoosac Range Trail you will look out over valleys and towns far below, hike three miles to the open rock summit of Spruce Hill or walk a shorter inner loop to Sunset Rock – all the while delighting in dramatic schist ledges, user-friendly stone steps, carefully designed switchbacks, and the tenacity of a forest that survives the insults of wind and ice on these magnificent 760 acres.
Landscape background
Native Americans first used the Mohawk Trail (now Route 2) to travel through the northern Berkshires between the Hudson and Connecticut rivers. Today a drive east 4.5 miles on Route 2 from North Adams through the "Hairpin Turn" to the top of the ridge brings you to a unique place known as "the Western Summit." Just beyond the Wigwam cabins on the same side of the road is a large parking area where a BNRC welcome sign and an information kiosk mark the entrance to the trail.
With unparalleled views from the top of Route 2, entrepreneurs once made this area a popular tourist stop, with a gift shop and cabins. A tall viewing tower meant visitors could climb up to survey New York, Vermont, MountGreylock, the Taconics, and the surrounding state forests. The Wigwam gift shop and several of the cabins, which are privately owned, remain, but are closed.
Purchase and preservation
This ridge defines the eastern horizon in the north Berkshires, and securing it required patience, creativity, negotiating skills, and luck, in the form of landowners willing to sell. Following up on a tip in 2007 from a local citizen that Adelphia Cable was auctioning off its ridgeline parcel, BNRC stepped in and purchased those 193 acres. Over the next two years, five more owners, including the proprietors of the Wigwam, agreed to sell their land. The transactions secured an unbroken 2-mile long tract along the ridge.
The Massachusetts Department of Conservation & Recreation, which owns the SavoyMountainStateForest, purchased a conservation restriction over the entirety. The CR ensured a double layer of protection for the mountain, and helped to eliminate the red ink from BNRC's $1.1 million spending spree.
Later, BNRC sold the Wigwam Gift Shop and Cabins to a private investor. Unfortunately, plans to restore and reopen this landmark of the hospitality industry have not come to fruition.
With the property secured, BNRC tackled the job of designing, funding, and building a trail along the spine of the ridge that would capture the most fascinating landscape features while appealing to experienced and novice hikers alike.
At a cost of about $145,000, a skilled crew of trail builders working under the guidance of Peter Jensen & Associates, built the three-mile trail from the parking lot to Spruce Hill. This trail comprises a section of the proposed Mahican-Mohawk Trail, a 100-mile path replicating the Native American route.
The trail climbs in the beginning past two man-made vernal pools and begins a series of gentle switchbacks to a junction about ½ mile in. Here you can turn either left or right. The legs of this loop both lead to Sunset Rock and the continuation of the Hoosac Range Trail. Going left means you'll come to Sunset Rock about 100 yards before the ridge trail takes off up the hill; turning right means you'll hit the ridge trail junction before you get to Sunset Rock.
Sunset Rock boasts long views north and west. We know of at least one couple who have gotten engaged at Sunset Rock.
If you hike back to your car from Sunset Rock, you will have walked about 1.6 miles, climbing about 300 vertical feet along the way.
If you still have gas in the tank, continue south on the Hoosac Range Trail. You'll climb another 250 feet or so before coming to the height of the ridgeline. From here, savor the dips and hollows of a trail that is fun to walk and is full of trailside curiosities. First, notice the trees, which have bent and twisted into fantastic shapes under the constant stress of wind, ice and snow. There's a tree with a hollowed out interior where you can peek back at the hikers behind you; there are moss- and lichen-covered cliffs where you traverse the rock face on ingenious stone steps; cliffs drip with water or cascades of ice—depending on the season —and there are spring ephemerals, native plants, and summit scrubbed vegetation to marvel at.
The predominant stone on the mountain is Hoosac schist – a sedimentary rock that first began to form under the warm oceans of the Southern Hemisphere 550 million years ago, travelling here via plate tectonics. The schist is flaky, but extremely hard and erosion resistant. Cliffs were formed as glaciers heading south "plucked" chunks of bedrock up and carried it away. The schist remained behind when the soft marble and limestone that surrounded them eroded under the constant melt-flow of retreating glaciers.
You will rejoice at the trail's clever design as it wiggles its way south, navigating the cliffs and taking advantage of the area's natural beauty, keeping you within easy sight of all the unusual landscape features and allowing you many chances to catch your breath. In late winter, the trail makes for perfect snowshoeing. Snow, generally abundant and persistent at this elevation, will have developed a solid crust. Where walkers might "post-hole" through, the snowshoer will float along the surface, enjoying views and sunshine through the bare trees.
When you reach the wide open utility line running east and west, you are standing nearly two thousand feet directly above the Hoosac Tunnel. This engineering marvel took 25 years to build, opened in 1876, and is still used. Its history is vividly described in the WesternGatewayHeritageState Park in North Adams. You can read about its construction, the cost in human lives and the many political and engineering obstacles faced by its backers at www.hoosactunnel.net.
Keep going. Just east of the final ¼ mile are two high-elevation beaver ponds. The trail skirts several ledgy, grassy areas where you might be tempted to settle down for your break. Hit them on the way back, but first follow the blazed trail a few more minutes before arriving at Spruce Hill – a summit ledge that offers a 180º westerly view. You'll know you're there by the spectacular views and by your overwhelming desire to lunch, nap, and stay as long as possible. It's a great place to watch the hawks migrate, to look down the expanse of the Hoosic (yes, the river and the mountain have different spellings!) Valley and to savor some peace and quiet.
It is possible to spot a car and descend Spruce Hill via the Busby and/or Blackburnia Trail into SavoyMountainStateForest. If you're on a one-car outing, turn around and retrace your steps to the Rt. 2 trailhead. Plan on 3 to 4 hours to make the hike out and back to Spruce Hill. The surrounding terrain is rugged, so if you go off-trail, carry a map and compass, and be prepared for backcountry conditions. High, steep cliffs flank the ridgeline so remain alert. In winter, blowing and drifting snow will obscure the trail and may hide trail blazes – navigate with care. Be aware too that BNRC allows hunting – blaze orange hats and vests should be worn during hunting seasons, particularly the fall deer seasons.
Come see BNRC's 5-year effort to create this recreational paradise with all its delights, and you too will want to bring your friends and family to join you on a trail that sparkles with personality.

2017 Maserati Levante SUV Filmed Testing At The Nurburgring: Video0
Sponsored Links
The Maserati Levante SUV, which is expected to arrive at dealers in March of 2016 following its debut in Detroit in January, has been spied testing at the Nurburgring in Germany.
The video, posted on YouTube by MotorAuthority, shows a heavily camouflaged Levante prototype lapping the Nurburgring at a fast pace. We're likely safe to assume the Levante will be reasonably quick, said to be packing a 350 horsepower and 425 horsepower versions of Maserati's 3.0-liter twin turbocharged V6 under its hood at launch. A turbocharged V8 power plant will also be offered down the road, possibly in a high performance variant of the SUV.
Riding on a modified version of the Maserati Ghibli mid-size sedan platform, the Levante will compete with other high-end mid-size SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE, BMW X5, Audi Q5 and Porsche Cayenne. It will be built at Fiat Chyrsler's Mirafiori plant in Turin, Italy and will be sold worldwide with a particular focus on Asian markets.

Open Thread: Everything You're Reading, Watching, Listening To and Looking At
This is your place to talk about the TV, movies, music, books and art that are thoroughly entertaining you.
If you're watching the hysterical "Inside Amy Schumer," then chances are you saw the recent episode where Schumer uses one of her writers -- Tig Notaro -- having cancer as an excuse to get coddled hand and foot by her staff.
But if you're a comedy nerd...
...or you are Taylor Dayne -- chances are you already know Tig.
It was a year ago after performing a breathtaking, devastating, hilarious set at Largo, when Tig really blew up the Internet -- with the help of Louis C.K., who sent out an email to everyone on his fan list after her set, telling them this:
"Tig is a friend of mine and she is very funny. I love her voice on stage. One night I was performing at a club in LA called Largo. Tig was there. She was about to go on stage. I hadn't seen Tig in about a year and I said how are you? She replied, 'Well I found out today that I have cancer in both breasts and that it has likely spread to my lymph nodes. My doctor says it looks real bad.' She wasn't kidding. I said 'Uh. Jesus. Tig. Well. Do you... Have your family... Helping?' She said 'Well my mom was with me but a few weeks ago she fell down, hit her head and she died.' She still wasn't kidding.
"Now, I'm pretty stupid to begin with, and I sure didn't know what to say now. I opened my mouth and this came out. 'Jeez, Tig. I. Really value you. Highly.' She said I value you highly too, Louie.' Then she held up a wad of note-paper in her hand and said 'I'm gonna talk about all of it on stage now. It's probably going to be a mess.' I said "Wow.' And with that, she went on stage.
"I stood in the wings behind a leg of curtain, about 8 feet from her, and watched her tell a stunned audience 'Hi. I have cancer. Just found out today. I'm going to die soon.' What followed was one of the greatest standup performances I ever saw. I can't really describe it but I was crying and laughing and listening like never in my life. Here was this small woman standing alone against death and simply reporting where her mind had been and what had happened and employing her gorgeously acute standup voice to her own death.
"The show was an amazing example of what comedy can be. A way to visit your worst fears and laugh at them. Tig took us to a scary place and made us laugh there. Not by distracting us from the terror but by looking right at it and just turning to us and saying 'Wow. Right?' She proved that everything is funny. And has to be. And she could only do this by giving us her own death as an example. So generous...
"Tig, by the way, has since undergone a double mastectomy. She is doing well. Her doctors say her chances of survival are excellent. So she went there and came back. Her report from the frontlines of life and death are here for you to... Enjoy."
He then released the set online. But the album is now getting a physical release in July, and you'll be able to see her on tour.
You should buy it. And see her live.
And if you want, you should also read this interview I did with her, too.
Mandy: Do you feel you're more in the moment now?
Tig: Yes, probably more heightened? I mean, in some ways I've kind of described this whole thing to people as a wasted lesson, because I didn't feel like I was someone who needed a wake-up call. I'm a pretty happy, well-adjusted person; I'm pretty OK. I don't feel like my friends would be like, "Tig needs a serious wake-up call'" you know? Obviously, things have not been perfect in my life, but I was floating along just fine and happy, but you can't help but have things go up to a heightened degree as far as awareness.
And as far as in the moment, it is so challenging, no matter where you are, before or after something so drastic. But what I've talked about a lot with people through this is how repeatedly in such a small period of time I had to surrender -- and it just kind of applies across the board, having to surrender to what is happening.
You can't help but go into some degree of denial, or tell yourself a story to get yourself through, But from losing my mother to cancer, to any sort of thing that was going on, it's about being in that moment and trying to realize what is happening, what is really happening.
I was just talking on my podcast about freedom and Sept. 11, when the towers were hit and the paper from the offices were slowly falling and I guess even ended up in New Jersey, they were everywhere, and I think about those papers. That someone had a boss riding their ass about that and it was so important and it needed to be filed and wait it's not in the right file! And it's just the papers floating away and everything's going to be fine.
My assistant picked me up at the airport yesterday in L.A. and we had to get into Hollywood by 5 o'clock, and he took the wrong turn, and we were in horrible traffic going the wrong way, and I could tell he was just freaking out, and I was a little stressed but then I thought I've had that job before and — we were in a tunnel and had no option — and you just picture that paper and it's helpful to me in those moments.
Mandy: I do that too but I don't internalize it. I'll say to people, "It doesn't matter, we're all going to die." I feel like your energy is really positive and strong. What did you picture when you were going through everything?
Tig: I hate to keep going back to Sept. 11th but it's one of those drastic things. I remember hearing the terrorists told the passengers to call their loved ones, because they were going to die. And you know, I experienced that, I felt that way, when I got the call that my mother fell and hit her head. That I couldn't say goodbye to her, and you know, you're making your phone calls and the plane is headed for the building -- that's all the time you have left with that person, as you're going toward the building and that's the moment when you realize nothing matters in a positive way. There's something very depressing but also freeing about nothing mattering.
This is the time you have left. That's it. You make your call. And in that call you're not going to say, "Remember how you pissed me off?'" That's not what you're going to say.
Mandy: Do you find yourself not holding resentments or getting pissed off as much as you used to?
Tig: I had a handful of people I had a falling out on a TV project, I had an ex I hadn't talked to in 15 years, but I have that luxury where I heard from all of those people because my story spread, and I was just like man, no problem. It was really not a problem. I didn't go into specifics with anyone, I didn't want to rehash anything, but just know that we are good and I mean that so genuinely, like I don't give a shit. And nothing negative about you, really no hard feelings, if I saw you in person, like me and my ex we hadn't talked in 15 years, and we ended so terribly, so terribly. I think she wished death upon me many times many times, and I started crying when I got her email and didn't realize how desperately I needed that resolved in my life.
My therapist always tells me, it's obvious but it's true, that everything you see in someone is in you, all the good and all the bad is in you, because you see it and you've got it. So finding compassion in there is so necessary because it's all relative.
Mandy: Do you feel less scared of death?
Tig: I don't want to die more than ever. I didn't want to die. But I kind of resigned myself, not just cancer but also with the bacterial infection C. Diff... I do not want to die like crazy. Like when I had C. Diff, everyone knows what cancer is, they understand it, but when I had C. Diff, it's still very painful, deadly, and scary, and I was home from my mother's funeral just wasting away and I really was resigned that I was going to die in Texas. I wasn't really reaching out to friends because no one could really understand what I had.
My girlfriend understood because she had been with me, and she was seeing the whole thing, but I just did the checklist: I've been in love, I've traveled the world, my career has succeeded. I was just counting off everything and just like, "OK take me." But I didn't want to die. I had an amazing life and luckily I don't have to worry about that for now.
Mandy: When you talk about surrendering, are you talking about God? What are you talking about when you talk about surrendering?
Tig: To the moment. Not to God, to the moment. To reality. And it's so hard, too. Because when I was going in for surgery, and I was lying in the hospital bed and they were talking me into the surgery, psychologically, I was dragging my nails along the walls and I did not want to go in and I realized in that moment that I liked my body and I didn't want it to change, but I realized I had to go in and I have to have surgery. I have to surrender.
You don't have a choice and you have to find immediate peace in a way. You can kick and scream but I still had to get the cancer out of my body. And then: "Your mother fell and she's not going to make it" -- OK, what are my options? Well I don't have any; she's not going to make it.
Mandy: So did you go to a negative place even when it was a succession of devastating blows and devastating blows?
Tig: I was never angry. I was sad and scared. And that came out probably the most negative with my ex -- I was pushing her away from me, I was telling her to leave me. It sounds so cliché and like a TV movie but I said, "Go live your life." I was yelling at her to please leave, please, I am not getting better. Because I was deteriorating. And we had only been together for 6 months and I felt pressure not because she was putting pressure on me but because we had not been together long, and I was just bones, and she was just like "You want me to leave you?" And I was like "YES BUY A PLANE TICKET AND JUST LEAVE." Because it would take pressure off me if she would just leave and I could just be alone and that was pretty negative.
Mandy: Was that surrendering?
Tig: No, that wasn't it at all. That was so fear based. There were so many dark ugly moments because they were just things that were happening that were dark and ugly. I feel like that was the one thing that was a reaction of everything that was happening. My mother had died and I thought I was dying so I was taking it out on her and wanting her to go. I don't know if I could even do it differently.
Mandy: So you have no regrets about anything?
Tig: I feel like it all led me here. There's things that are embarrassing and I wouldn't take it away. Nothing is bad -- it's just an experience. It doesn't mean they aren't hard moments, because they are brutal moments, but they do bring other forms of happiness and other experiences that I didn't expect.
Mandy: Are there things you do now that you didn't do before that are like, coping things or routines or mental exercise? Do you have a toolkit?
Tig: Take a beat, take a breath and be aware of each task at hand. And "ok, ok, ok" whether it's work, projects, relationships… "OK, all this stuff I can't deal with until I get there."
Mandy: You talked in the set you did at Largo about having to eat super healthy. What do you eat now?
Tig: I try to eat food in natural form, but I cheat a lot, but that's what makes me feel best, eating food in the most natural way. And I take probiotics and all that stuff but I um, yeah, I totally cheat. I was just in Sundance, this happens every time, I say I'm going to party like crazy, and just eat what everyone is eating, and the party turns into me feeling horrible, and going back to my hotel. And I fall for it every time. I'm like "I'm going to be fine" and then I'm like "I have to go back to my room" and everyone's like "No, we're going to an after party!" and I'm like "Yeah I'm in severe pain I need to go back to my room. You guys go on." Finding the balance is important. I have to check in with myself and see how I'm feeling? Like, I can't go into a denial auto-pilot, like yeah! Everything's great!
Mandy: What do you do when people try to unload on you their own pain and suffering since you've put yourself out there so much?
Tig: I get a few emails where people leave like, kind of some breadcrumbs, that they need me to contact them, where it will leave a little guilt. But I have boundaries about it.
Mandy: Can you talk about the fine line between tragedy and comedy? Especially when you look back on that first set at Largo?
Tig: It just was such a bizarre time. I'm picturing myself being on stage and the nerves I had before going on and then saying I had cancer. And then talking about my mother…
I can't quite put my finger on what was going on with me, it was so "nothing to lose" and I knew that the opening of "Hello I have cancer how are you doing?" and I knew it would be jarring, but I was so jarred, that it was just kind of like: Sorry I ruined your night.
Mandy: Being really real. Not being fake, putting up a brave front.
Tig: The waiter says: "How are you two doing tonight?" "I mean we're having a good night, but I have cancer." And she'd be like "Oh my god you're getting off on this." I would be funny about it but it was really going on and there's only so much fun you can have when you might have cancer spreading through your body. Like "How am I doing tonight?" I'm out with the person I'm crazy about, riddled with cancer -- you tell me how my night is going.
Or after my mother died. My mother died. It's pretty bad. It's not "eh," it's not a great day. My mother, I just I took her off life support. Nah, it's not a good day. But I don't know if that's really comedy, that kind of reaction, but, yeah, the stuff with my mother was much heavier, because it's not me I guess, it's my mother
Mandy: And it's death.
Tig: And it was brutal. But yeah, when it's you….
Mandy: What did you say about feeling like a Chilean miner?
Tig: That I had come through this filthy dark hole… And I came out coughing and everyone was like "Tig! Tig!" And I was like, cough, cough wait cough what? I've been in… I've just felt so weird getting all this press when I was crawling out of the hole.
Mandy: Do you still feel like that?
Tig: No, no. I think enough time has passed and I don't feel that way. I think initially it was more telling that story and those events, and it was going through it over and over. But now I feel like I've had some time and perspective on it and I have some real thoughts and feelings about it whereas before I was like yeah my mother died and it was a different kind of drill that was going on, where I didn't have too much perspective yet.
Mandy: How did you feel when Louis first tweeted about your set?
Tig: First of all, I remember after he tweeted that and I woke up to all these offers and book deals and I was like what the hell happened? And I texted him jokingly like, careful how you use your power! Because I did not expect the world to know.
Mandy: How did you feel about people's reaction? The Onion calling it the album of the year?
Tig: Yeah and I kind of had to remove myself and when people would say that was one of the best stand-up performances, and I'm like it is not. Because as a stand-up who perfects and tweaks and reworks that's not the best stand-up performance but in time this is what's interesting to people that you're right there in the moment. That it's authentically a moment of discovery and there's humor in that. But it's interesting to hear people's take on it because it makes me appreciate it and understand it more, because I didn't go out with any intention.
Mandy: That's also what makes it compelling, when you can feel the risk a performer is taking in the moment and then the risk pays off.
Tig: It was risky. It was so risky! Just walking on that stage and saying I have cancer. My voice is shaking as I'm saying that. I was so scared. I was emotional and I was scared of upsetting anyone. There were so many feelings. And I was scared of having a bad show. But I had something to say. I was just so full of so much emotion.
Mandy: Did you almost break down because of the audience?
Tig: You could feel the support. When the crowd roared with support right after, I took a beat, and was like, man, they are with me -- I felt so lifted by that room in that moment. And, phew! It was definitely a moment.

Companies that consistently generate high free cash flow outperform the markets in the long term. The equity in these types of companies tends to protect capital in down markets. Their share price volatility is often lower than the market averages. They pay generous dividends and have the capacity to maintain or even increase those dividend payments in poor economic environments.
Global Equity Investment
This is a world of ultra-low interest rates, increasing debt, increasing government intervention, aging population and unsustainable entitlement programs. Therefore, the kinds of companies we invest in will have cash to return to shareholders, cash for acquisitions and cash to buffer the volatile economic environment.
We believe a concentrated global portfolio of these types of companies, identified through financial statement analysis and thorough research, will outperform the markets in the coming decades.

A few years ago I received an email with the question to put a link to a Japanese Puzzle website. As a reward the would sent me a Japanese Puzzle book and they did all the way from Japan to Europe.
As present I received a Japanese puzzle book with Slither Link puzzles. The puzzle book was in Japanese so I had to visit their website to find out the rules and how to solve Slitherlink puzzles.
I really love slitherlink puzzles and are now frequently downloading Nikoli's slitherlink puzzles as I can't find Nikoli Slitherlink puzzle books in Belgium shops.
Buy Slitherlink Puzzle Books from Amazon.com. Happy Puzzling!

Vinyl Emulsion Paint vs. an Acrylic Emulsion Paint
Q. What is the difference in a vinyl emulsion paint and an acrylic emulsion
paint? Which has better properties?
A. The vinyl latex emulsion paints were the first water based trade sales products
on the market. As the demand for improvements grew, the simple vinyl latex paints
were modified to give the end user a better product; better washability, harder
abrasion resistance film and improved color retention.
Most of the improvements are achieved with an acrylic modification. More expensive
but better durability and wear resistance. Acrylic over straight vinyl by at
least 50%.
Best regards,
Tom Burke

A total of just £136.3bn was lent during the year, the lowest level since 2000, and 5pc below the 2009 figure, which was the lowest total for nine years, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders.
The group, which is predicting total advances of around £135bn for 2011, warned that consumer demand could be even weaker than previously expected if inflationary pressures led to an early rise in interest rates.
Advances during the final month of the year were also low, with just £11bn lent in December, the most subdued figure for the month since 2000, and 6pc down on November's total.
It was also the fourth consecutive month during which lending levels had been the lowest for the month in question for a decade.
But while December is traditionally a quiet month for the mortgage market, there were few signs that lending levels would pick up during January.
The Bank of England's Trends in Lending report showed that the number of mortgages approved for house purchase by the major lenders had dropped to just 40,000 during the month, the lowest level since March 2009 and down from 45,000 in November.
The number of homes changing hands also fell during December, with just 75,000 properties sold for more than £40,000, down from 77,000 in November, according to figures from HM Revenue & Customs.
Paul Sabbato, a director of broker First 4 Bridging, said: "The near-paralysis of the mortgage market continues. December is always a quiet month but this was a quieter December than usual.
"There's no doubt that many people who may have been considering buying a couple of months ago have shelved their plans until there is more clarity on when, and by how much, rates will rise."
Howard Archer, chief UK and European economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "Latest data suggest that housing market activity ended 2010 very much on the back foot, which suggests that house prices will remain under pressure in the early months of 2011 at least.
"This evidence of ongoing very weak housing market activity reinforces our belief that house prices will fall further in 2011, although current mounting signs of fewer houses coming on to the market could provide some support to prices."
Although any increases to interest rates are likely to be small, the move would have a big impact on the confidence of potential buyers.
CML economist Peter Charles said: "Money market rates have recently moved higher in anticipation of a rise in base rate and some lenders have recently reflected these increases in their product pricing.
"Against this backdrop, consumer demand may be weaker than we would otherwise have expected. Higher interest rates will also hit the budgets of existing borrowers, although the expected modest rises in base rate will result in a relatively small proportionate rise in monthly payments for most mortgage holders."
He added that the group did not think this would have a big impact on the number of people who struggled to keep up with their mortgage, and it did not anticipate revising its current arrears forecast.

Tartes aux courgettes
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I have adapted this recipe from the barefoot contessa. Surprisingly even though it is full of greens my kids love this!!! It is perfect fro lunch or brunch and when you have a crowd. —Virginie Degryse
Serves: 5-6
store bought pie dough
zucchinis, thinly sliced
tablespoons olive oil
ounces plain goat cheese, softened
teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
teaspoon fresh lemon zest
cup fresh chopped basil
- Toss the zucchini with 2 tsp salt and drain for 30 minutes. Place them on a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze to release excess water.
- Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 400°F. Toss the zucchini with 1 Tbs. of the olive oil and pepper to taste
- In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese with a fork and add lemon zest and fresh thyme and salt and pepper to taste. Spread the cheese over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
- Arrange the zucchinis starting in the middle going into circles until the whole surface is full. Drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbs. olive oil and bake until the zucchini is golden-brown, 40 to 50 minutes.
- When ready drizzle a little bit of olive oil and salt and add fresh basil all over.
- I think that a couple of tsp of fresh parmesan on it would be amazing ( I haven't tried yet but just thinking about it makes me want to do this tart right now).
- Et Voila, Bon Appétit!

Sorry, no etymologies found.
Union leaders for the state's teachers, health care workers and other public employees have said they will give the governor the financial concessions he wants - amounting to a pay cut of 8 percent or more - but they will stand firm on what they call union-busting proposals.
Republican lawmakers view the measure as a cost-cutting, job-creating tool, while Democrats call it union-busting that will lower wages.
Using an old union-busting tactic, many of these workers are brought in from outside of the state, lured by ads in USA Today and other papers.

When it comes to federal employee issues, he's probably most remembered as a big union-busting president.

The retail giant Target is under fire from all sides, for union-busting at home and labor violations overseas.

With the governor's union-busting legislation in place, the school board promptly changed its tune and revealed plans of its own on how it would work with the teachers.
The price for the Religious Right's wholesale idolatry of private everything was that Christ's reputation is tied to a cynical union-busting political party owned by billionaires.
Truly, conservatives never favored what Bush advocated – privatizing Social Security, breaking the bank on national defense, deregulation and union-busting, favoring industry over the environment, etc – until Bush came along.

David Oyelowo is one black actor who's able to stay constantly busy, despite laments about the challenges black actors face in the business. Since I first was introduced to his work in the 2006 drama Shoot the Messenger, he's appeared in numerous projects, often more than a few each year, on both sides of the pond.
Taking a look at his upcoming slate, he's clearly an actor in demand, and is also producing work for himself, not relying solely on the "kindness of others" to ensure he stays employed.
One of the handful of films on the horizon is an indie drama titled Nightingale, which is backed by BN Films – a newly-formed well-funded international production company based in Santa Monica, CA and Mexico City, run by Alex Garcia and Lucas Akoskin, said to be two of Latin America's most prolific young producers, with plans to offer a slate of films in all languages, aimed at both the domestic U.S. and international markets.
BN Films says it will self-finance six to twelve films a year, working initially off of a $150-million production fund. On the collective resume of both Garcia and Akoskin are titles like Tropa de Elite (Elite Squad), winner of more than 30 awards, including the prestigious Berlinale Golden Bear; Guillermo Arriaga's acclaimed The Burning Plain, starring Charlize Theron and Kim Basinger; Shelter, starring Julianne Moore; Ceremony, starring Uma Thurman; The House of My Father, starring Will Ferrell, Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal; and more.
In Nightingale, Oyelowo plays a character named Peter Snowden, who's described as a man obsessing over an old army friend, whom he loves, as his life begins to spiral downward, with their reunion approaching.
Here's the film's official logline:
A provocative drama that probes the darkest corners of a disturbed mind, NIGHTINGALE tells the story of Peter Snowden and his obsession with an old army friend named Edward. The film follows Peter as he records his private thoughts and feelings — his nightingale song — in the days leading up to his reunion with Edward. Before long the hostile world outside Peter's door begins to threaten the idyllic future that he's so desperately trying to build.
In literature, the nightingale often represents melancholy and joy, love and loss, life and death. In mythology, all species of bird typically represent a departed soul. Nightingales particularly suggest love and longing.
Elliott Lester directed the film from a script penned by Frederick Mensch – a Black List discovery.
Katrina Wolfe of BN Films and Josh
Weinstock are producing.
Details on the film's eventual release are forthcoming. But ahead of that vital piece of information, we've been granted an exclusive first-look photo from the drama, featuring the film's star (Oyelowo), seemingly in a state of doubt and distress, with a few clues around him (what looks like the feet of another human being on the floor, the bloody phone and spectacles, etc) that suggest plenty.

Divorce - Taking The Blow
( Originally Published 1952 )
There is no use starting this chapter with a cheery statement that even the most sorrowful widow or heartbroken divorcee will find everything all right if she keeps her chin up and has enough courage. She won't. For a good, long period everything will be just about as bad as it can be and she'd better expect it. Even the women who wanted divorces for reasons no one could question have the problem of re-adjustment and are torn by memories, both happy and unhappy.
A woman's life can't be completely disorganized without serious damage. And that is exactly what happens. Marriage is, for one thing, a job—but it is a twenty-four-hour-a-day job, it is a job in which a woman's heart, as well as her mind, is involved, it takes in her work, her social life, and her private life. If she's all that she ought to be, she wants to make it a success, both because of the deepest affection of which she is capable and because of her pride. For a woman, ninety times out of a hundred—well; anyway, seventy-five—failure in marriage is failure as a person. The old saw about marriage being a fifty-fifty business is, in our opinion, nonsense. A far bigger proportion of the responsibility lies on the woman, and ought to—tradition and social setup, to say nothing of masculine and feminine temperament, being as they are. In any case, losing one's husband is the most completely devastating loss one can experience. When a man loses his wife, he still has his job, which is important to him. When he loses his job, he has his wife, which is important too, if she's made it so. When either loses a child or a parent, they have each other and their jobs, whether hers is home-work or something quite different. But when a woman loses her husband, for whatever reason, both her job (her most vital job, though she may have another) and what should be the closest companionship she can hope for, are gone all at once and what's left seems flat and unimportant.
If she has young children, the change in her life will not be as complete as though she had none or only grown-up children, no longer at home. Many things in this book will not apply to her, since she won't want to start quite all over. But a large proportion of widows, and a great many divorcees, must face this problem alone.
One may say that the problem of the widow and that of the divorcee are quite dissimilar. Certainly, the latter is a matter of enormous interest and concern at the moment and thousands of words on the subject are being turned out every week. We make no claim to be an authority on divorce, our knowledge, quite frankly, coming only from a fair amount of reading and the confidences of a great many friends. But what we do know makes us believe that there is a basic similarity in the two problems that outweighs their differences—an underlying sense of loss and loneliness and a deep need to start all over.
Strangely, it is not the first days that are so difficult, though they seem bad enough at the time. But, either be-cause of numbness from shock or an inevitable undercurrent of excitement, most women impress their families and friends as remarkable in the way they "keep up." For a time, that is. All too soon, this fortitude ebbs away and no amount of determination prevents them from being shaken and nervous.
The fact is that your nervous system has had a tremendous shock, or perhaps been worn down by a long strain, and physical damage has resulted which you just can't help.
It does help to realize this. There is nothing more comforting than to know that somebody else has had the same symptoms that you have arid come through them safely. And most people do have this experience, unless they have an iron constitution and no nerves at all or are lacking in the matter of deep affection. Even men. A minister of our acquaintance, a man of courage and character, told us recently that for a long period after his wife's death he suddenly woke up in the middle of every night feeling completely shattered. He disliked talking to anyone about it, feeling that a minister was supposed to have a special inner strength which put him beyond such experiences. But he was finally driven to going to his doctor, who convinced him that his difficulty was a physical one beyond his control and one that would eventually disappear—a reassurance that helped him enormously. We know, too, of a man recently separated from his wife, whose life has become a succession of colds, virus infections, and nervous indigestion. He blames it on overwork, but would be better off if he recognized it as a good case of personal unhappiness which is bound to pass.
Through the first weeks, or months, it is easy to feel frightened, to think that the way you feel isn't a phase, that things will be like that forever and ever. They won't. But for a time you probably will feel Simply Awful, and as likely as not you'll have some strange symptoms that you're sure nobody else has ever had before. Sometimes, for in-stance, you won't be able to concentrate. You'll find yourself reading the same paragraph six times and still won't know what it's about, and you'll be certain your mind is deteriorating, if not already gone. This may go on and on, far longer than seems reasonable to you. But it won't go on forever.
Or maybe you can't sleep. Perhaps you've counted a million sheep and done all the relaxing exercises in every book you could lay your hands on and recited all the poetry you ever learned in school, and you still hear the clock strike half the hours of any night, which is very, very wearing. Or you may have dreamed up a bigger and worse symptom all of your own. We could think of a dozen possibilities with no trouble at all, but there's no use in putting them into your head. You'll do all too well with no help from us.
Whatever else you experience, you're certain to be exhausted. There is nothing as tiring as grief or a long period of wearing unhappiness. Our advice, at this point, is to turn to someone else for help. It may well be your minister, for religion ought to bring you the greatest consolation. But many people who haven't given very much thought to religion when things were going well don't know how to draw help from it when trouble comes. Some feel in their hearts that perhaps they shouldn't; that religion isn't some-thing to be turned on and off as you need it. We think they're wrong; that it is the ever-present help we've all been taught, and that by turning to it now, it can become a permanent help.
Whatever your personal decision about this, we are sure that this is a time when there is no sense whatever in being a Strong Character and bearing your own burdens. Now and then, every woman is entitled to be a clinging vine and this is one of those times. Tell your ailments to your doctor; if you have business problems, tell them to your lawyer; if you feel that you can, tell your troubles to your minister.
Cry while you're doing it, if you want to. Borrow the gentleman's handkerchief or, better still, his shoulder, and go right ahead. None of the three will enjoy it, but they won't mind as much as most laymen (or they shouldn't) and you'll feel better about it afterward. After all, crying women are occupational hazards of all three professions and they knew it when they chose theirs, if they had a grain of foresight. The one you choose may not help you, but the chances are he will help you very much indeed. There are men in all three groups with a sincere desire to help people and the innate kindness and long experience that have taught them how. There are also those who would like to help, but wouldn't know how after three lifetimes of experience. And, of course, there are a few too preoccupied with their own affairs to care about yours. But just the telling will do you good, anyway. The cry will do you even more good, and besides, at this stage, you probably can't help it.
Having looked for advice, take it. If your doctor advises sleeping pills, for instance, take them by all means (in the amount prescribed and no more), even though your oldest family friend refers to them as "opiates" in the shocked tone of one discussing marijuana. Follow any other regime he prescribes. Your doctor knows infinitely more than your friend about these matters, and if he tells you that lying awake will do worse things to your health than his meditines, giving them up won't be noble—it just won't be very bright. He isn't going to let you become a drug addict or a hypochondriac. He's had dozens of patients with just your problem, and he's probably seen them all through it successfully. That is, if they did exactly what he told them to. Doctors can be very understanding people and they've cured a lot of heartaches, as well as a lot of bad hearts.
At this stage, your friends will be full of advice, on this and other subjects, and most of it won't be as good as your doctor's. The line you will hear most often is: "What you need is a drink."
Well, maybe you do, sometimes, but you probably don't need two and you certainly don't need three. You feel drinks more when you're exhausted or emotionally upset, and the results may be far more unbecoming than the tears we advised a little earlier. The knowledge that you were seen lurching into the dining room not very long after your husband died will make you feel much worse than anybody else. As to the divorcee, one drink too many may start people saying, "He had to let her divorce him—she took to drinking." Our advice is to watch your drinks as never before.
It is not, however, to go strictly by that old saw about the evils of drinking alone, once you are really alone. This may be the time when you do need a drink. Those first dinners all by yourself can be pretty grim and one cocktail, or even two, will help and won't start you on the downward path.
But we said one or two, with reservations about two, and we are not even mentioning three, which would be a definitely poor idea.
Another inevitable bit of advice which will come from all sides is to have someone come to stay with you. This may be good advice, and then again it may be the opposite. It depends somewhat on you and more on the other person. You are not going to feel in the least like entertaining a guest, and a good deal of the time you will want nothing so much as to be left to yourself. Feeling that you must talk to someone out of politeness when your mind is full of something else can be irritating and very wearing, and an oversympathetic guest whose kind heart won't let her give you a moment's peace is even worse. But if you are lucky enough to have a friend or relative who will move in temporarily (be very, very sure it is temporarily), and keep busy by herself except when you want companionship, you will probably find the arrangement excellent, though rare.
There are other things to avoid, and one of the greatest is Regret, which is a futile and wasteful emotion and one thing to be strong-minded about from the first. But even a widow who was among the happiest and most devoted of wives has to fight it. She will have times of lying awake and thinking, "If I'd only insisted on that trip we talked about—perhaps he wouldn't have gotten sick." Or, "Perhaps he was worried. He may have had a pain, or some business worry that he didn't tell me about, but I should have sensed." A divorcee's regrets are bound to be even sharper and more nagging, unless she's a very blind and egotistical woman who thinks the fault can all be on one side. Either way, it's wasted emotion. What has happened is over and you can't change it. Death ends a chapter that no amount of longing can re-open, and usually, if one believes the experts, this is also true of divorce. We suspect that the exceptions are not among people who pine with regret, but among those with courage to accept the situation and make a fresh start.
There are some kinds of courage that it's just as well to check for a time, however, and one is the type that sends you off on a trip before the worst shock has worn off. Actually, it may not be courage; many people go to get away from it all. Whatever the reason, we doubt the wisdom. As we have said, now is a time when you aren't going to feel very well, once the nervous excitement has gone, and when you feel ill, there is certainly no place like home. Even if you don't actually feel ill, you probably don't function quite as usual, though you may not realize it. These are the days when you find yourself with black-and-blue spots from bumping into the furniture; when you absent-mindedly step off the curb when the traffic light changes the wrong way. These are the days when you don't notice the extra little step; when you are clumsy and tip over the coffeepot. They are also the days when you pick up a flu germ or don't digest some dish a little on the too-fancy side. And there is very little pleasure in going to Italy and spending your time in bed, or in hobbling around Mexico City with a sprained ankle. The truth is that for a time you—or at any rate, your mind—isn't quite all there. Your brain isn't working with a hundred per cent efficiency, and so long as that continues to be true, you'll get along a lot better in the place you're accustomed to, with your own things about you and your own doctor at the other end of the telephone.
Whatever you do, there will be those who will criticize you. If you show spunk, a very good quality to muster as soon as you can, they will say you are flippant (as they will of this book). This applies particularly to divorcees, who are between two camps at best. Pay no attention to this little group of serious carpers. Remember that they are the ones who, if you didn't show spunk, would say you were weak.
As good a rule as any we know (though no rule, about anything, applies to everybody) is to follow a well-worn path for a time, to do pretty much what most people do in your position. A little later will be the time to do as you please; now you won't really want to seem conspicuous or out of the ordinary. The protective coloring of being like everyone else can be very comforting indeed through a time of sorrow.
CASE 1.: Mrs. S.—Mrs. S. has a large family of brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins, all of whom are overflowing with kindliness. When Mr. S. died, they decided with one accord and the best of intentions that they mustn't leave their bereaved relative all by herself. One after another, they moved right in, spelling each other off, with great inconvenience to themselves and even more to Mrs. S. Not only is Mrs. S. so tired that she would welcome a little privacy, but her maid, while a Family Treasure of the first water, is also tired from the extra work involved by Mr. S.'s long illness. A crisis is imminent, and we fear that Mrs. S.'s nerves are about to be further frayed by the necessity of deciding whether to offend the Family or the Family Treasure.
CASE II.: MRS. R.-Mrs. R. recently got a divorce, a step heartily approved by all who knew Mr. R. Being a woman of spirit, she made up her mind to go on as though nothing had happened, overlooking the fact that a great deal had happened to her health and her heart. She accepted invitations as usual and was surprised and hurt to find that there was still a remnant of the old guard who did not extend them to divorcees, regardless of circumstances. She was still more surprised to find that her best friends' parties seemed a trifle dull, her own interests weren't very interesting, and the theater was in a serious state of decline. Like most people, she failed to relate this point of view to her own state of mind, till her doctor persuaded her to spend the summer at a quiet resort not too far from town to reach him if necessary. (Something quite different from the wear and tear of travel.) Two months of complete change, plenty of sun-shine, and a few newly made friends did wonders for Mrs. R. She came home eager to take up her old interests and delighted with her friends' parties and the newest plays. It is the friends who don't invite her who now seem dull to Mrs. R. We think she's right.
CASE III.: Mrs. H.—Mrs. H. is a woman of character and great reserve, and when her husband died, her deep grief turned the reserve into frozen stoicism. Not even the sympathy of those closest to her could penetrate it and, as is usually the case with emotion too long pent up, the effect began to undermine Mrs. H.'s health. Her troubles went round and round in her mind during most of her waking hours, in-creasing as they spun, till it began to look as though Mrs. H. were headed for a sanitorium for nervous breakdowns. Fortunately, a conversation with a complete stranger whom she met at her brother's house and who had a very special gift for Drawing People Out, cracked the barrier. Mrs. H. poured out her troubles with a completeness that surprised her much more than it did the stranger, and both the telling and the understanding acceptance on the part of her listener made the troubles suddenly seem not unlike those of other widows, instead of the Very Special Case she had considered them. Mrs. H. went home and had a good cry and since then, she has begun to feel definitely better.

AMC Networks CEO Josh Sapan has addressed the controversy surrounding showrunner Glen Mazzara's recent exit from AMC's mega-hit zombie drama "The Walking Dead." In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Sapan pushed back on the criticism that AMC is not a supportive place for showrunners to work and insisted the decision to part ways with Maazara was mutual.
When asked to respond to the criticism from "Sons Of Anarchy" showrunner Kurt Sutter and "Last Resort" and "The Shield" creator Shawn Ryan that the network was gaining a reputation as a place where the best creative minds in TV didn't want to work, Sapan said, "We really do believe that people who make great TV shows have a rare capability, and we hold them in extraordinarily high regard. Certainly it would be preferable to have as much continuity as possible. We'll forge ahead and hope to make great shows and be the best place to work ... We'll do the best we can to be an environment where the best creative people can flourish. We'll hopefully learn from everything we do."
Mazzara has been replaced as "Walking Dead" showrunner by Scott Gimple, who has served as an executive producer on the show since Season 2. Gimple will be the third showrunner to helm the show in three seasons after Mazarra replaced original boss Frank Darabont during Season 2. Reports have pointed to "The Walking Dead" comic creator Robert Kirkman as the person responsible for forcing Mazzara out.

Welcome to AES
Attitude + Effort = Success
Archbold Elementary houses grades K-4 along with our county run pre-school units. We have four to five sections of each grade level with approximately 100 students per grade. When staff and students walk through the doors of Archbold Elementary School, they automatically become members of the AES Club where Attitude + Effort =Success and we are Respectful, Responsible, and Safe! It is our goal at Archbold Elementary to ensure every student finds SUCCESS!
2018-2019 Kindergarten
Archbold Kindergarten Registration
Parents of children who will be five years old on or before August 1, 2018 are asked to bring the child's birth certificate, immunization records, and proof of residency (i.e., utility bill or rental/lease agreement), and custody papers if applicable to the elementary office to register for kindergarten..
***We are switching to new online registration forms. You will need your email address and your password when coming in to register. If you do not have an email address, we will help you set one up.***
**If you have questions, please contact us at 419-446-2727. **
|Principal: Dorothy Lambert
Secretary: Diane Bernath
As the students enter the elementary this year, they will again be reminded that they are "official members" of the AES Club (Attitude + Effort = Success). They will also be reminded of what it means to be Respectful, Responsible and Safe in all areas of the school building and on the bus. Throughout the year, we will once again be looking to "catch" those "Super Streaks" who go above and beyond in demonstrating a great attitude, extra effort, respect, responsibility, and safety! This year, we will be focusing on a specific character trait each month and will recognize our Super Streaks who demonstrate this trait during an assembly on Super Streak Fridays.
Cafeteria Prices
Lunch Price - $2.50 for students. $3.00 for adults. Additional milk - $.50
Breakfast Program
At Archbold Elementary, breakfast will be served from 8:05-8:20 AM in the elementary cafeteria. All students need to report to their classrooms to sign in before going to breakfast. The cost of breakfast is $1.50.
Parking Lot Safety
In order to keep our students who are dropped off and/or picked up at school safer, we are going to designate a "drop-off/pick-up zone". The drop-off/pick-up zone will be between the two cross walks in front of the school building. Students who are being dropped off will need to exit the car once you are in this zone in order to keep traffic flowing in the morning. Students being picked up after school will need to wait on the sidewalk in the pick-up zone until their ride approaches the curb in this zone. Students will not be allowed to walk to cars waiting in line outside the pick-up zone or to cars in the "second lane".
Parents are still welcome to park in the lot and come up to the school to pick up their children.
Look for the cones on the sidewalk marking the drop-off / pick-up zone. Please be patient as we try to make our students safer. Thank you for your cooperation!
Arrival/Dismissal Time
Buses will be arriving at 8:05 AM to drop off the elementary students. Students who walk or are dropped off are asked to arrive between 8:00 AM - 8:15 AM. There will be no supervision of children prior to 8:00 AM. The tardy bell will ring at 8:20 AM as in the past. Dismissal time will be 3:05 PM for walkers followed by bus riders.

What do you think, men out there, of the DadGear Diaper Vest.
According to the blurb, it is " the end of carrying around "mum" nappy bags and kids backpacks".
They say that it is perfect for the outdoors male who likes taking baby out and about.
With a revolutionary twist on the traditional diaper bag, DadGear's "hands free" concept combines comfort and style, allowing dads to change, feed, and entertain their child easily without anyone knowing they are wearing a diaper bag. With strategically placed pockets, the vest is constructed with high quality materials for ultimate durability and longevity.
The Diaper Vest only comes in Orange, and in sizes Medium, Large and X- Large.
It has quick-access to baby wipes from the right chest zippered pocket, two large pockets on the interior for diapers or other baby gear, two bottle pockets on either side of the vest that lie flat when not in use and a slim-design changing pad (included) discretely hidden in a pocket across the lower back. The utility pocket on the left chest that contains access through their logo for your cell phone ear piece or MP3 player headphones, and it's made from a high quality anti-pill mid weight fleece with durable coil zippers.
It's currently reduced from $139 to $49 at Metromum. What do you think? Great idea, or total fail?

"If you will it, it is not a dream", Theodor Herzl.
Hi! I'm Elinor Carmi, originally from Israel but now live, teach, play, write, think, imagine, dance, and try to find something proper to eat in London. I'm a scholar, journalist, ex-radio broadcaster, activist, feminist, and a huge electronic dance music addict. I also love pink. My research interests have always been about cultures and practices which are considered to be deviant/illegitimate/unwanted and the power and politics behind them. I focus on anomalies, because I believe that looking at what is considered to be irregular can tell us a great deal about what is considered to be the norm.
Currently I am a Teaching Fellow at the New Political Communication Unit, at the Politics & International Relations Department, Royal Holloway, University of London.
You can check out my talks, writings, teaching, and events/workshops I organized, as well as the story behind my book TranceMission (published in 2013). Below you can also find info about my past work experience.

2012 – (Passed without corrections 2017) – Ph.D. candidate at the Media & Communications department, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK (Passed with no corrections).
Dissertation title: Processing spam: Conducting processed listening and rhtyhmedia to (re)produce people and territories. Supervisors: Professor Sean Cubitt and Prof. Marianne I. Franklin.
This thesis provides a transdisciplinary investigation of 'deviant' media categories, specifically spam and noise, and the way they are constructed and used to (re)structure territories and people. Spam, I argue, is a media phenomenon that has always existed, and received different names in different times. The changing definitions of spam, the reasons and actors behind these changes are thus the focus of this research. It brings to the forefront a longer history of the politics of knowledge production with and in media, and its consequences. This thesis makes a contribution to the media and communication field by looking at neglected media phenomena through fields such as sound studies, software studies, law and history to have richer understanding that disciplinary boundaries fail to achieve.
The thesis looks at three different case studies: the conceptualisation of noise in the early 20th century through Bell Telephone Company, spam versus cookies in the European Union 2000s legislation, and unwanted behaviours on Facebook. What they show is that media practitioners have been constructing 'deviant' categories in different media and periods by using seven sonic epistemological strategies: training of the (digital) body, restructuring of territories, new experts, standardising measurements (tools and units), filtering, de-politicising and licensing.

Kennen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Kennen is a BEAST. Nice damage, AOE Stun, great range and the little trickster has some great ecape manuevers for survivability. Grab a Doran's shield with a health potion first. I start out in a 2v1 lane when I can, harrasing them with my passive + W. Once I hit lvl 2 I can throw in the shruiken for even more aggravation. You can usally get a double kill at level 6 with your ult + ignite. At this time you can go back to the shop and pick up your sorcerer's boots. Go back to your lane and call for an assist to take out your first tower, once thats done it's time for the real fun. Roll around the map working with your team whenever your stun is up to take out a few heroes and work towards your rylai's scepter. At Level 11 you should have this and a blasting wand to work towards your Abyssal scepter, Once you get that your ultimate just rocks people. After you get a few more kills and you have your Zhonya's Ring you cn initiate fghts by jumping into a throng of enemy heroes with your ult and your E skill and your ultimate and hit zhonya's ring, Watch as your teamates wreck the other players with your stun active and you invincible. Greatest move ever. If the other team is stacking MR then you can switch out your dorans sheild and get a void staff for even more MP. This build has never failed me if your team is working nicely together.

Crime and punishment in tuscon
Back to normal in the sun
Playing blackjack in the drive-in
Shooting snake-eyes in the mud
And when the moonlight came out, we were gone, long gone.
They found a body on the race-track;
No identifying signs
In his pocket was a notebook
With a number inside
And guadalajara's just a few miles down the line.
She adored the broken-hearted
And those who showed her a bad time
They didn't care for her body
They took advantage of her mind.
So they took her ideas and they left her behind.

When you need to get money somewhere fast, we've got the answer! An outgoing wire transfer is a quick, convenient and reliable way to move funds from your DCECU account to another financial institution. To wire funds from DCECU, members will need to obtain wire transfer instructions from the receiving financial institution.
After obtaining the wire instructions from the receiving institution, a wire transfer can be initiated by completing the request below, calling us or stopping by.
Once the Wire Transfer Request is received, approved, and processed it can take up to 24 hours for the receiving institution to credit the final destination account.
$25.00 for wires sent to a Beneficiary Institution within the U.S.
In order to be sent on the current business day, an outgoing wire transfer must be submitted before 3:30 p.m ET. Any wire transfers that do not meet the deadline will be considered for the next business day. Missing or incorrect information on the form could further delay this process.
DCECU is unable to provide wire transfer services to locations outside the United States. More Info
In 2012, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) issued a new rule designed to protect consumers who send money electronically to foreign countries, "remittance transfers." This rule took effect in the Fall of 2013 and imposed new regulatory requirements that will increase compliance costs and transfer liabilities to DCECU with greater risk of financial loss.
DCECU is unable to offer an equivalent wire transfer1 service to send funds internationally. We will continue to wire funds domestically, which may provide an option for you in the future. While this option would be a two-step process, we could certainly wire funds to another US financial institution where you would have established an account. Then, this institution could complete your international wire transfer for you.
We appreciate your business and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Please note that you may still conduct ATM and VISA® Credit and/or Debit Card transactions outside of the United States as these will be unaffected by this change. ↩
