Rubix Project Reviews By Brian Morgan Is A SCAM Software? What is Rubix Project APP All About? How To Register in Brian Morgan Rubix Project System? Learn My honest Rubix Project Reviews Before Think To Try RubixProject.com
Rubix Project Reviews
Rubix Project Reviews Omits a lot of people recognize the vagaries of the market and the changes that occur to the general economy. Of course, we all hear about these Rubix Project Software changes and volatility in periods of recession, but most of us have a superficial idea about what that means and the size of the problem, or whether you can get out of this problem or not. All we know is that these times are difficult and that the banks are responsible for it.
This is a big mistake Trying to understand the market and anticipate its direction gives us many opportunities to increase our financial resources by Rubix Project trading in the stock market and investing wisely and support appropriate action. As also it tells us if we have to keepRubix Project Reviews for the winter or is it the right time to spend money. For Rubix Project Software investors and business, this is definitely a very important and could help them get through difficult times. You can do a smart investment even in times of economic downturn.
The Rubix Project Reviews study and understanding can tell you more about the world and the time in which they live and gives you a profound way of being of each Rubix Project APP recognition should be all we need to understand the market and how it develops.
Taking what we have said previously in mind let's take a look at the global market for 2016. How the economy remains steadfast? Does it now is a good time to invest? What are the industries that can thrive? And which will make its way with difficulty?
For those who are not economists or analysts, market experts and business outlook These Stkhbarham what they need to know about the 2016 market came directly from the mouth of the experts. For those who are looking to invest money you explains in this analysis that is expected to occur exactly what is best to invest and spend money.
Is the economic crisis is over?
As we mentioned earlier in Rubix Project Reviews, there is something everyone knows about the state of the market now is that it resists hardly the situation. We went through a period of recession have just tremendous lasted for years has been influenced by many of us its consequences directly. Interest rates have fallen, which means that it was very difficult to achieve wealth, but has seen many of us freeze wages.
But now we finally we started seeing improvement in the situation and the people became more optimistic about the economic situation. Do you finally see the light at the end of the tunnel? Do you expect to start profit taking again? Unfortunately, not everyone thinks that it would go like this.
Brian Morgan, one of the Rubix Project Scam strategists told channel CNBC that he expected a bad year for the stock market, said: "I think we will face another year of recession in the stock market, we stopped it this year, but they were not pause to renew things. We did not do anything to build. We did not reduce the estimates did not actually check the investment opinion. We had a correction, but it was too brief to the point that you are rooted to the idea of buying stocks whose prices have fallen sharply in people. " We have both the S and P index fell 500 and Dow Jones more than 2.5% for 2015, despite the rise in the Nasdaq Composite Index increased by 4%
Poulsen says: "It's a challenging environment" and is expected to be another year of recession, will result in a sharp fall in the market with fewer complications. Paulsen also cited a number of pessimists experts about exactly like him in 2016.
Brian Morgan, CEO of Rubix Project Company says: "I stopped and revenue gains achieved with difficulty really, at best, you are hoping for a return of 5%."
And more bad news reported by Brian Morgan Rubix Project, chief economist at Rubix Project Inc , says: Our Rubix Project pricing power is very limited in corporate America. Which tells us that we will not have the environment stronger out of this, we are heading for an end to all this growth and the end result does not appear that the assessments of the good.
But expectations the worst is what I recently mentioned in a Rubix Project Reviews predicts recession else awaits us in 2016 and according to the article to a number of worrying factors such as the start of an explosion of Chinese bubble problem and the debt problem caused by student loans and to mitigate the factors affecting the improvement of labor conditions and patterns of economic data, which are similar to those that emerged before the collapse of 2008 is disturbing.
Rubix Project
Retail sales fell more than ever before and the same applies to wholesale.
US factory orders fell, the biggest decline since the collapse of Lehman Brothers.
Real GDP growth in the US began to fall, turning a negative in the fourth quarter.
Weak US export growth.
Corporate profits began to fall.
Although thing is that average hourly earnings have seen a rise recently and the same thing happened to the hourly labor compensation According to the Rubix Project Software. Which will have a positive impact on the economy and the markets in general, though it will not urge a significant impact soon.

for these cases. Display of the stack with recycled frames is controlled by the stk_recycled scatenv setting, which is on by default.
Note that if there are two such optimizations in the calling sequence, there's no useful way to dig up anything but the first step. The codepath command was written to search for call linkages between such functions.
Something similar is also done for leaf functions. Leaf functions are functions which never call anything else. An optimization done for those is that they don't have to necessarily do a save if they're short enough to operate in the volatile global and output registers (%g and %o on SPARC).
Knowledge of this is used when walking the stack as the "next" function down the stack will use the same stack pointer as we are using now.
There are other interesting bits done in the stack which are worth noting. For example, as part of the ABI on SPARC 64-bit, stack pointers are offset by a number so as to make them easily distinguishable from 32-bit stack pointers. That is the STACK_BIAS, which is 2047. So if you find an address that's in the range of stack addresses, but is misaligned (in this case, it ends up with a "1" as the last digit), it probably needs the STACK_BIAS added to it to get the number you actually want. Note that 32-bit SPARC, and x86/x64 use a STACK_BIAS of 0.
For convenience, the frame pointers that Oracle Solaris Crash Analysis Tool uses already have the STACK_BIAS applied.
Another useful concept to know is MINFRAME. The ABI defines how functions pass arguments between functions, and on SPARC, when a save instruction is run, it saves some space for input (%i) and local (%l) registers of the caller to be stored, plus space for output registers (%o) for any functions it calls (note that for leaf functions, this is sometimes optimized to skip the output registers - something we've tagged a MINIFRAME).
Knowing that a function uses MINFRAME is a good clue that this is a short function, and makes no use of local variables beyond what it can get away with using the local and input registers.
Knowing when we switch between stacks is also useful information. This means we've switched from the userland stack space to kernel, or from one kernel stack to another. This happens on traps, and also happens when we've detected a stack overflow - if we're out of stack space where we are, we still need stack space to deal with it. In Oracle Solaris Crash Analysis Tool you can see stack switches with the stk_switch scatenv setting. It also tells you details about whose stack it is, such as the thread's kernel stack, a CPU's interrupt or idle thread's stack, or the ptl1_stk.
The ptl1_stk is a special space used for dealing with panics when we're already processing a trap. When we process a trap, we first switch to the kernel's nucleus, which is low-level code for handling all the details required switching between userland and kernel. However, when we are already in the nucleus on SPARC, and we take a trap, we could be processing a kernel stack overflow, which means we're in trouble in the low-level code, and Oracle Solaris sets aside a special stack space for dealing with those on SPARC - the ptl1_stk.
Stack overflows are another interesting area where the stack dumper can help. Kernel stack space is a limited resource - typically only 1-2 pages of memory. Kernel code needs to be aware of this, and not allocate too much stack space for local variables. Problems still arise here, and you can examine stack space usage by enabling scatenv settings stk_s_fromend and stk_s_size (both disabled by default). stk_s_fromend shows how far each frame is from the end of the stack. stk_s_size shows the size of each frame. Each kernel stack also has an unmapped page of vmem assigned to it at the end so that any accesses past the end of the stack trigger a page fault which can't be resolved and thus results in a panic. That page is referred to as the redzone. This prevents stack overflows from corrupting a neighboring thread stack.
One of the most useful things the stack dumper can do is display arguments passed into a function. On SPARC, arguments are passed in registers. However, those registers are re-used by the callee, and thus can't be relied upon to determine what was passed to the function. The passed-in values can often be determined by examining the assembly code in the caller to see what it put in the output registers (input registers for leaf functions). Doing that manually is time-consuming, even if you've had a lot of practice.
The scatenv setting stk_args causes the stack dumper to attempt to calculate those passed-in values for you, and display it in the stack. It isn't perfect, and can't always determine the arguments, but saves a lot of time in most cases. It only works for SPARC at this time.
There are a few other more obscure scatenv settings which control how the stack dumper behaves.

Both Esther and Isla were born on a Wednesday.
We're excited. I'm tired. I hate to say that. I've felt flat and lifeless for the past two weeks.
Apathy. Ennui. Malaise. Lethargy. You name it. I feel it. Perhaps I'm letting my guard down too soon. When you are running a marathon and you realize you've passed the 25th mile, I'm willing to bet that last 1.whatever mile is excrutiating. Not that I've ever run further than 10 miles at one time and that was only once.
Or it might have something to do with the fact that we've had two back-to-back spring breaks. Did I mention our teachers went on strike, for six days, the week before Spring Break started?
Or I might be a little sick. My body feels like it's fighting something. Anyway, that isn't what I meant to write about. I'm only writing to say, dear readers, this is really happening. My husband, the father of my children, Daddy of all time, object of our affection, focus of our devout adoration, that man who has been so desperately, so fiercely, so achingly missed, is coming home.

Jerry Collins' shock retirement from New Zealand rugby
The 27-year-old Wellington Hurricanes loose forward said he would take an indefinite break from the game before considering his future.
"It's something I've thought about for a while. I've played 10 years for one province and it's hard to leave but it's probably the right time," he said.
Collins, who will play for the Barbarians against England on Sunday, may consider an overseas contract.
But he added: "I'm not in any rush to get out the country."
Out of respect to New Zealand Rugby and the Hurricanes, he hasn't been involved in any contractual discussions as yet.
"You can't negotiate while you're still contracted so at the moment the cupboard is pretty bare but I'm sure there's someone out there who will give me a job for a couple of weeks."
Collins is the 11th player to quit the All Blacks following last year's failed World Cup campaign in France.
Chris Jack, Carl Hayman, Anton Oliver, Byron Kelleher, Aaron Mauger, Luke McAlister and Doug Howlett are all now plying their trade in Europe. Nick Evans and Reuben Thorne have signed contracts to play overseas while Keith Robinson retired through injury.
Note: Thanks to the BBC, All Blacks.com, and rugger1222.

The Miwa House, An Award-Winning Custom Home by Phil Kean Designs.
"Miwa", a modern, custom home by Phil Kean Designs, Inc., earned one of the home building industry's highest honors when it captured the coveted Golden Aurora Award in the 2011 Aurora Awards design competition presented at the 33rd annual Southeast Building Conference (SEBC).
Judges' comments included this from Ed Binkley, AIA, Ed Binkley Design, Winter Park, FL: "This contemporary home blew away the competition from start to finish", a complete package with clean lines; a spectacular entrance draws in you and does not disappoint. Continuity flows throughout with style, design and merchandising each complimenting and creating a complete package."
This contemporary home features clean lines and extensive details, a unique entrance of floating steps over moving water, attractive focal points, great flows of volumes and spaces, and incorporates large areas of indoor/outdoor living on both levels.
The challenge was to connect the main home to the existing guest house which was accomplished with a center garden and floating step walkway which mimics the main home's entrance.
The garden features a fountain, fire pit, pool, outdoor arbor dining area, and LED lighting under the floating steps. Taking aging in place into consideration, there are master suites on both levels, elevator, and garage entrance.
The home's great room and kitchen open to the lanai, summer kitchen, and garden via folding and pocketing glass doors and uses a retractable screen concealed in the lanai. When the screen is lowered, it holds up to 90% of the home's conditioned air and keeps out insects. The 2nd floor master and exercise rooms open to balconies.
Foyer, stairs and great room:
Dining area:
Master Bedroom Suite:
Master Bath:

Magnificent Modern Pianos by Designer Peter Maly for Sauter.
Four years ago, I shared with you a beautifully designed Grand Piano by Audi and bunch of uniquely designed modern concert, grand and upright pianos by well-known German piano makers Bosendorfer and Schimmel.
above: a selection from my previous post on modern pianos
Like Bosendorfer and Schimmel, Sauter's pianos are made in Germany. With a design series by Peter Maly, their contemporary Grand, Concert and Upright pianos are like beautiful pieces of furniture, with exteriors crafted from materials like fine woods, translucent glass and steel.
Sauter pianos designed by Peter Maly largely match the Sauter R Master Class pianos, with respect to their technique: the sounding board, 25% bigger, is characterized by the unique "Sauter Spherical Concavity®" and the speciality of Sauter , the double repetition action of grand pianos. The sounding board is solely made from the finest spruce from the `Val di Fiemme´ in the high region of South Tyrol, grown at an altitude of 1,100 meters. For a better playing sensation, half tones (sharps and flats) are made of ebony. The cast plate is hand-ground and complemented with a precious finish. Experienced pianists, whose piano is in focus at their home, will be thrilled by the touch and appearance of this designer piano.
Upright Pianos
The Vitrea Translucent Glass Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
Vitrea´s essence is the contrast between the cool glass front and the warm wooden tones of the main structure of the piano.
Vitrea´s materials: the front panels consist of matt glass, available in two shades. The form is bordered by thin chromium rail strips. Body, Lid and keyboard elements are made of oak wood.
Here you have the choice of a light natural tone of timber or of a deep dark-stained variation. All metal parts are chrome-plated.
The design is accentuated by details such as chrome-plated steel feet. The lids open upward in aliform, like wings, and, therefore, optimally project the sound waves throughout the room.
Equipment: double repetition action (RR-action), sound dampening pedal (soft pedal) and a straight-line piano stool with metal frame which complements the Vitrea.
The Rondo Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
Rondo – elegance softly shaped, a piano that performs with the principle of round shapes. It appears natural, soft and well balanced within itself.
The Pure and Pure 2000 Noble Upright Pianos by Peter Maly for Sauter
PURE "less is more"- as little as possible, as much as necessary. The aim was archetypal, reduction to the essential. Nothing superfluous, but full of concentration; stillness and tension at the same time - just like before a big concert: PURE 2000, the purist upright piano. Purism is the art of avoiding the superfluous. The form radiates peace which inspires both soul and player.
Pure 2000 is like the room for which it was designed. It is an upright which fits into a bright living environment with simple walls and modern art. The essence of its aesthetics is the generous design which emphasizes the surfaces.
In the "PURE 2000 noble" version, the surfaces have a gloss lacquer finish. The characteristic corner details are emphasized by flush-fitting chromium-plated metal sections giving this upright its modern elegance.Details accentuate the essential design. A fine finger groove makes the upright easy to open.
The Onda Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter
The body and keyboard form a solid backdrop for the focal point of the piano - an undulating panel. Onda is the ideal complement to the new minimalist look.
Materials which are typical of this look include light wood, cool metal and fabrics in natural shades.
Onda is constructed from a number of distinct, clearly demarcated components. Broad wooden side panels enclose the piano body, lending it stability and substance. The keyboard - made from light beech or maple wood like the sides - is set into the undulating panel.
As a special design feature, Onda is fitted with two top panels which can be opened upwards like wings. As well as forming a highly effective sound board, they lend the instrument the feel of a grand piano. To round off the picture, Onda stands on curved metal feet.
The panel which forms the front of the piano has a horizontal "wave" running through it - hence the name Onda, which means wave.
The Imago, the Avant-Garde Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter
Imago, the Avant-Garde piano, is a fascinating new creation which redefines the concept of the piano. A great design, extravagant and classic - the sound pattern for a new age. The materials are a combination of light wood tones - modish pear, maple of beech; bright color finishes and cool metal.
A large, diagonal-grain pear wood panel frames the body of the piano like a passpartout, forming an exciting contrast between the two silk-sheen finish, different shapes and their materials. An attractive extra:
The Touch-Tronic lamps by Ingo Maurer are switched on and off or dimmed by a simply touch The designer's signature along with individual serials numbering underline the unique of value of the piano. The piano body has a light grey and the matching piano stool has metal legs.
The Artes Art Deco Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
Artes - The Art-Deco piano is inspired by the styles of the Twenties and Thirties. Despite these historical allusions the piano embodies a timeless elegance and understatement. Artes blends effortlessly into this room, whose interior finishings embody design of a timeless quality. Materials such as fine leather, quality woods and valuable textiles are in perfect harmony with the highly polished finish of the piano.
Characteristic features of the Art Deco style: clearly defined lines, metal inlay and chromed metal brackets. These details lend depth and structure to the body with its glossy black finish.
The designer`s signature along with an individual serial number underlines the unique value of the piano. Matching piano stool with leather seats and metal legs is available.
The Cura Shaker Upright Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
Cura, the Shaker piano, is inspired by the puritan and perfectly crafted furniture typical of the American Shaker religious movement of the 18th Century.
"I stand in great admiration of the wonderfully simple cherry-wood furniture of the Shakers, for it form a link with my modern design concept, imbued as it is with the desire for the greatest possible simplicity - whilst at the same time ensuring the highest quality of materials and manufacture." Peter Maly
Cura has a classically-constructed frame and infull panels veneered in cherry. Cura has hand-turned brackets of cherry-wood, and feet and hinged candle holders in matt-finish high-grade steel. The lid is shaped into a single elegant sweep.
The Grand Pianos
Vivace Grand Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
Vivace is a contemporary interpretation of the grand piano, without compromising on any respect for the classical form. The streamlined and newly accentuated curves and the profiled steel pedestal give this most traditional of instruments a floating easiness. The special value of this grand piano is emphasized by the fact that it is signed by the designer and individually numbered.
In its new shape, the cut radii replace the traditional curves. An inlaid sequence of high-grade steel squares accentuate the new line of the piano further. Steel also plays a new role in the substructure of the grand piano.
The structure of the profiled steel pedestal enables considerably more compact dimensions. This gives the grand piano a light, fresh, friendly, contemporary effect. Hydraulic damper* for the piano fall board. Music desk** with convenient one-handed controls.
Ambiente Grand Piano by Peter Maly for Sauter:
A concert grand of new design without any twirls whatsoever, but with a 230cm long case flowing in a single sweep into a bend, shaped like a parabola.
The sides of the keyboard softly cross over into the bevelled grand´s front. Its closed lid fits perfectly into this form.
The difference between the outside appearance and the inside metal frame creates a space in the form of an ellipse in which the lid´s supports have been fitted and which are adjustable in height and angle.
Polished stainless steel accords a brand new profile to the pedal bar: light and lucent throughout "This new grand should be all-over elegant and softly rounded, of flowing design and without any twirls whatsoever" – Peter Maly
The feet have been integrated into a floating architrave which has significantly marked its new silhouette. This new line of architrave stands out with its chromed profile recurring at the foot´s lower end. All fittings and castors are chromed.
When opened, the keyboard´s lid lies flush with the bevelled niche providing a convincing solution to its form. Many of such innovations in construction and design have created the new concert grand´s appearance: "Ambiente."

Cadillac Fleetwood Oil Change Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
Why are oil changes necessary?
Oil plays a crucial role in protecting the engine's internal parts from damage, keeping the engine cool and preventing contaminants from accumulating inside the engine. Throughout the normal course of your car's operation, the oil's ability to perform these crucial roles is minimized due to contamination from moisture and combustion gases. If you take a lot of short trips where the engine doesn't reach full operating temperature on a regular basis, the oil will become contaminated more rapidly requiring more frequent oil changes.
The oil filter also needs periodic replacement because over time it loses its ability to clean the oil as the engine is operated. If the oil filter is not changed regularly it can degrade and in severe cases even disintegrate, which can plug up oil passages and lead to engine damage or failure.
Can I drive without changing the oil?
It is possible to drive a vehicle without an oil change, but driving a vehicle after the specified service interval has passed is not recommended. Over time engine oil breaks down from use and is contaminated by the combustion process (blow by gasses). The oil and filter should be changed as soon as is convenient to maintain protection of internal engine components.
When is it time for an oil change?
Oil should be changed regularly to prevent internal engine damage and breakdown. Manufacturers differ in their recommended guidelines for how often to change engine oil and oil filters.
The traditional rule of thumb is that engine oil should be changed every 3,000 miles to keep the engine healthy and to prolong its life. Most modern cars do not require the old "3 Months or 3000 Mile" service interval. In some cases it is several times that, but at least once a year is recommended, no matter how little you drive.
Some cars are also equipped with maintenance computers that let you know when the oil life is depleted, or when the specified maintenance interval has passed. This notification can come on more often depending on environment or driving conditions such as towing, or long periods of stop and go traffic.
How a mechanic performs an oil change
To change the oil, a technician allows the engine to cool down, then removes the drain plug at the bottom of the engine oil pan and drains the oil. As the oil is draining they will remove and replace the oil filter. When the oil has fully drained the drain plug is re-installed and the engine is filled with the proper type and amount of new oil. The engine is started and checked for leaks. Finally, the engine is switched off, the oil level rechecked, and the maintenance light reset.
While the oil is being serviced, the technician will note any obvious issues with the condition of the engine seals, amount of oil drained, last service date and mileage, and the drained oil's condition. If any abnormalities are noticed, recommendations for diagnosis or repair are made.
Most manufacturers have now included panels that are attached to the vehicle's underside; they offer a measure of protection from debris and a means of controlling air flow to the engine and around the vehicle. These panels often completely cover the engine/transmission from below, blocking all access. Removal of one (or more) of these panels and their correct re-installation adds two new steps to the process of an oil change.
Other oil change considerations
When changing or adding engine oil, follow the manufacturer's recommendation for the grade, often referred to as "weight" (0/30W, 5/30W, 20/50W, etc.), and type (petroleum or synthetic base) of oil to use. The grade is based on the oil's ability to flow - "viscosity". Modern engines are especially sensitive to the kind of lubricants used. Using an incorrect type or grade can cause the oil pressure light to illuminate, the engine to make abnormal noises, the check engine light to come on and may invalidate your manufacturer's warranty. So, always ask what oil you are getting, and know what is recommended for your car. Consulting your owner's manual is the best way to ensure you are using the correct fluids for your vehicle.
Can I perform an oil change myself?
An engine oil change can be performed by intermediate DIYers. However, before attempting this service or ordering parts, be sure to look up the specifications and procedures for your particular vehicle. Most will require raising the vehicle to access the oil pan drain plug, and it is critical that the oil is refilled to the proper level, and that the oil filter is installed correctly. If there is any concern about completing this service properly, consider contacting your local RepairPal Certified shop.

text: 3-Portrait 3 Portraits 3, from the series Portraits I made the series Portraits along the banks of the Llobregat river and the Rubí stream. They are images of saplings and fig trees that I invested with human characteristics, such as age and gender. The subjects have wind- and water-swept debris and vegetation attached to or wrapped around them, like clothing or adornments. The work reveals my tendency to anthropomorphize the natural world through photography to communicate about absence and presence. Portraits is included in Janelle Lynch: Barcelona (forthcoming by Radius Books, Fall 2013), a visual elegy to my grandmother, who died in 2008, and to those lost within the very landscape in which I worked. The Rubí Stream was the site of a monumental flood in 1962, which killed nearly one thousand people. Above all, the works in Barcelona are metaphors for remembrance and invitations to consider what prevails in absence.

You don't have to adopt a fake "LIKE ME!" attitude or run for Miss Popularity, believe it or not, just being yourself is the best way to get in good with new friends who are perfect for you.
So where exactly are you supposed to meet these great new pals? Sitting in your room wishing you had someone to IM about this week's ep of PLL isn't going to make it happen! Start by getting involved in the activities and interest you already love whether it's an online Taylor fan club or a local volleyball league. Being the new kid in the group will feel weird at first, but remember, you're all there because you share the same interests. What could be a better ice breaker? If you think you're already way involved and still aren't connecting with people, it might be time to step back and re-evaluate how you act around others. Instead of heading straight home after a game, grab a pizza with the team. The more time you invest in getting to know others, the easier it is for them to see you as an A-list friend.
Just because not everyone gels with, say, geometry the way you so or shares your love of shopping doesn't mean you can't be friends. Keep an open mind when it comes to making new buds, and that goes for guys as well as girls. It's way too easy to lump all the guys in to two groups-the ones you crush on and the ones you don't. But what about a boy who could be a really good friend? You'll probably find out that he worries about the same things as you and your girl friends. An added bonus: You'll get the inside scoop on all his cute friends!
Say you're seriously crushing on a guy, would you run up to him and announce you two are now a couple and you're now going to spend every single day together? Um, not unless you want him to run in the other direction. The same goes for making friends: you want to take things slowly at first. Wait until you feel comfortable talking to each other during band practice or on the walk home from the library before you suggest getting together. Skip high-pressure or potentially awkward situations, like your grandpa's 85th birthday bash. Opt for something casual: "So, have you seen the new Orlando Bloom movie? I thought it'd be fun to get a bunch of people together to go." Will it be totally nerve-wracking to make the first move? Probably but it'll have been more than worth it once the ice is broken and you're out having fun with your new friends.
In college, you may find that making friends is a lot a harder than what you thought it would be! With big lecture hall classes, you don't just see the same 30 people in your classes everyday. Everyone seems to be on his or her own schedules and they might always look busy when you want to talk to them. Although a lot of factors might make it seem like it's impossible to get to know anyone in college, there are so many ways to meet new people!
In community style dorms (which is where most freshmen are placed) people are almost always in the lobby! You now live these people, so might as well get to know them! Something like "Hey, what are you watching?" is a great conversation starter. There are also community builders, which are like group activities that the RAs come up with to get people in the dorm closer to each other. You should actually go to those — they are a lot more fun than you might think! It takes a little effort to get to know people in your dorm, so just go for it!
With such big classes, there is bound to be someone that wants to study for a test with you. You can send out an e-mail to everyone in your class telling them the time and place that you are going to be studying, and usually at least one person will e-mail you back telling you that they'd like to join. You'd be surprised about how you can become great friends with the people you study with!
This can be anywhere you go. In the cafeteria, start a conversation with the person next to you. If you see someone familiar in the quad, ask them,"Hey, aren't you in my English class?" Ask questions to the person sitting next to you in class. Just don't be afraid to let go of any insecurities and talk to people! All you have to do is break the ice, and you'll find that making friends is a lot easier with a conversation starter.
Remember, people in college don't know who you were in high school! It's a fresh start and you have so much to talk about to people. So let loose, be confident, and most importantly, BE YOURSELF!

Porsche 911s, according to some critics and one serial lurker occasionally spotted skulking around the Driven office, never change their looks and are all essentially Beetles underneath it all. This is, obviously, complete bollocks.
An interesting problem with works of pure genius is that some people simply don't get it.
The 911's track record, and its off-track record for that matter, is enviable, stretching back into a history of countless hours' pure driving enjoyment. And that's the whole point of the exercise.
The old adage that there's no point in reinventing the wheel certainly holds true with what is arguably the only real sportscar to stand the test of time.
A very gradual, very carefully considered and undoubtedly very German evolution has taken place since its introduction in the early sixties, and while it's never strayed far past its design boundaries it's always improved and has nearly always screamed the same thing: "I am a 911 and I will beat you."
It's hard to believe the hype without driving one of these - the staggering chassis' near-unfailing grip, the engines bellowing behind you and the ability to attack any bit of road and come out of it feeling all smug, fast and "race drivery".
Last week I felt race drivery indeed, with a week at the wheel of the latest step in the 911's illustrious history.
The new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S has just touched down in New Zealand.
Actually getting stunning weather and a Porsche to test at the same time is mighty unusual around Auckland, but we've been lucky of late and the gods were certainly smiling on this bloke. With most of the world heading back to work there was a big chunk of countryside to play with, and a four-wheel-drive 3.8-litre Carrera 4S coupe in the driveway. The hard work began.
Cars with pricetags like this can often have a bit too much "personality" to be able to cope with our unique blend of roading that flits from goat track to curvy brilliance and back on one stretch. But the 911's big sell has always been grip. If one of these lets go, and you lift off, there's a very high chance it'll turn into a pendulum unless you've got the skill of Craig Baird or the luck of Lotto Trev.
Actually getting to the point that this happens, outside of greasy city roads or racetracks, probably means you're breaking most of the road rules at once. It's not difficult to do in one of these, apparently, but even the rear-drive 911s can be pushed pretty hard before they push back. The four-footed Carrera 4S is even more forgiving, especially with its new ultra-wide bum.
The rear arches have grown 22mm over the two-wheel-drive Carrera, with 36mm wider track, housing massive 305/30/20s, PZero of course, and the fronts 245/20s, which are a $2550 option over the standard 19s. The whole rear has been nicely reshaped to accommodate those fatter flares. The back end looks cleaner and more refined with thinned-down rear lights tapering into a solid line right across. It's the same type of backend treatment that Porsche showed on its Panamera Gran Turismo concept shown at the Paris Motor Show, which changed Ferdinand's awkward four-door for the better.
Our test car, which also ran Porsche's optional dual clutch PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) seven-speed transmission, had a few boxes ticked on the order form, including the very welcome new sports exhaust system. Those boxes left alone would have seen a ticket price of $265,000. The add-ons took it to $294,620. The 4S Cabriolet starts at $280,000.
The PDK system does get through the seven gears at a cracking pace, and with well-positioned shifters which allow changing up or down on each side of the steering wheel it's easy to get into a rhythm on some of our curlier roads. The razor-sharp front end is brilliantly direct and the fully independent rear end gives as much as it needs in the standard suspension setting, although it gets a bit hard on the kidneys in the sports setting. This is best reserved for the racetrack or extremely well-sealed roads, and is far too savage for a quiet road out in the wops.
Its sheer abilities are courtesy of that German efficiency and its guidance of transactions between Pirelli and pavement - active suspension management, torque vectoring and a host of well-mated stability systems - so on long and open bends it feels just as settled as it does in tight, twisting corners despite its 4491mm length and 1852mm width. And with big four-pot calipers on drilled and ventilated rotors, it's never a problem to slow down a bit. A happy new addition is the previously mentioned sports exhaust. The 911's engine note is fairly subdued on most models although it has always sported a nicely brash bark. But push the magic button on the centre console and suddenly the whole cabin is filled with the full orchestra of six-pot boxer, direct injection, variable cam control and slick engine management software performing the delightful "294kW and 440Nm in Wa-hey minor", a personal favourite.
The peak power is made right up at 7400rpm, so does get delivered over a good 1000rpm or so, and the 400Nm of torque arrives with a bit of fanfare by 5600rpm - when the shift time on the robo-auto PDK is a fraction of a blink, it becomes a very effective package. Sprinting to the legal limit only takes 4.3 seconds, although that would have been achieved with launch control, which I wasn't too keen on applying to a car that had only recently reached triple digits on its odo. The old imperial ton still comes up in less than 10 seconds, and depending on bravery, stupidity or immunity from prosecution will carry on to a top speed of 297km/h.
The Carrera has almost always demonstrated a great ability to bridge the gap between sports and comfort, and although those numbers certainly don't put it at the top of its class, it's still a rocketship - with a booming Bose stereo, heated leather seats and a sunroof. In an era where many manufacturers are trying to minimise the number of buttons in the cockpit, Porsche has gone the other way with clear, large and numerous controls laid out across the dash, which is topped by the gorgeous analogue/digital and optional Sports Chrono stopwatch.
It might be a nod to the past, with its hint of Blaupunkt style. I image the office lurker will have his opinion. It apparently hasn't changed much since 1963.

Science Features
A new project in Japan is helping scientists make significant progress in studying gas hydrates as a potential source for natural gas production. This research advances understanding of the global distribution of gas hydrates as well as whether and how methane contained in gas hydrates can be used as a viable energy source.
The collaboration continues a long-standing relationship between national methane hydrates research programs in Japan and the U.S., but represents the first time that U.S. researchers have been directly involved in studying Japanese gas hydrate samples. In the current phase of this project, an international group of scientists from Japan, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are employing cutting-edge technology and studying rare gas hydrate samples recovered deep beneath the seafloor.
What are Gas Hydrates?
Gas hydrates are a naturally occurring, solid form of methane gas combined with water. They sequester large amounts of methane, making them a potentially significant source for natural gas around the world.
To give more detail, gas hydrates are an ice-like substance formed when methane—and sometimes other gases—combine with water at specific pressure and temperature conditions. Gas hydrates are widespread in marine sediments beneath the ocean floor and in sediments within and beneath permafrost areas. These pressure-temperature conditions keep the gas hydrate "stable," meaning it is intact and gasses are contained in its solid form.
Premier Research in Japan Enhances Understanding in the U.S.
A multiyear, premier research program in deepwater gas hydrate exploration and production is currently underway in Japan. Last year, Japanese researchers used innovative technology to retrieve and preserve sediment samples containing gas hydrates. These samples were obtained from layers beneath the deep seafloor in the Nankai Trough offshore Japan.
Such well-preserved samples are extremely rare. They are preserved as "pressure cores," with the gas hydrates kept as if they were still at the natural conditions in the subsurface where they formed. Gas hydrates are only stable at certain pressures and temperatures, and scientists have been working since the 1990s on sophisticated techniques to retrieve and preserve samples.
The program is being led by the Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC) and Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The project is being conducted in collaboration with the USGS Gas Hydrates Project and researchers from the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Tech. This project is one component of an ongoing Japanese collaboration on methane hydrate research with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Gulf of Mexico Gas Hydrate Joint Industry Project (JIP).
Innovative Technology to Study the Samples
U.S. and Japanese researchers are now analyzing the cores using specialized devices that keep the cores at their natural, stable conditions.
The devices are called Pressure Core Characterization Tools (PCCT), which were designed and built by Georgia Tech with long-term support from the DOE and JIP. Scientists from Georgia Tech and the USGS will be operating these devices.
The key tool is the Instrumented Pressure Testing Chamber, which was the first device capable of measuring certain properties of pressure cores without first depressurizing them. An example of another device is special pressure vessels that measure the strength of the sediments and how quickly fluids can flow through the sediments.
Testing these instruments in Japan will also help prepare for the analysis of pressure cores that may be obtained in the future from hydrate deposits in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and on the Alaskan North Slope. Along with Japan, these areas are ideal locations for future research to assess the occurrence and production potential of gas hydrates.
USGS Weighs In
"This research will not only help us understand the character of gas hydrates in Japan, but we can also apply that knowledge as well as this innovative technology and approach to understand the potential in the U.S. and around the world," said Brenda Pierce, USGS Energy Resources Program Coordinator. "This project brings together international experts, each with specialized knowledge to share about these important hydrate deposits. The USGS is excited that our Japanese colleagues have invited us to participate in this project along with Georgia Tech."
Mini-Production Tests and Future Publications
Japanese researchers are also conducting the first offshore production test to track how much methane can be released from deepwater gas hydrate deposits. Focus will be in the Nankai Trough, which is where the cores being studied now were recovered.
Japan's AIST has manufactured an instrument that will be used to conduct laboratory production tests on the pressure cores. During these tests, the cores will be depressurized at closely controlled rates to breakdown the methane hydrate and release natural gas. By measuring the volume of gas produced and the rate of production, insight may be gained regarding the potential behavior of the reservoirs during the planned field test. Mini-production tests and future full-scale field production tests are a required step to potentially realize gas hydrates as an energy resource.
Official publications from this project are scheduled for two years from now.
Financial Support
This collaborative research in Japan was financially supported by MH21, USGS, DOE, and the multinational Gulf of Mexico Gas Hydrates JIP.
USGS Gas Hydrates Project
The USGS has a globally recognized research effort studying gas hydrates in many different settings around world. Research locations include Japan as well as the U.S. Beaufort Sea, Alaska's North Slope, India, Korea and the northern Gulf of Mexico.
In addition to energy, climate studies are another focus of USGS gas hydrates research. There are concerns that as the climate warms, gas hydrates may break down and release large volumes of methane into the atmosphere, which would further exacerbate climate warming. USGS scientists are studying this interaction, particularly in the Arctic. Research has indicated that most of the world's gas hydrate deposits should remain stable for the next few thousand years. Of the gas hydrates likely to become unstable, few are likely to release methane that could reach the atmosphere and intensify climate warming.

Arts & Culture
"Definitional"By Raymond Queneau
In 1947, the French writer Raymond Queneau wrote Exercises in Style, a collection of ninety-nine retellings of the same story, each in a different style. The plot: the narrator gets on a bus, witnesses a fight between two passengers, and then encounters one of the passengers two hours later at the train station having a discussion about altering his overcoat. The premise references a treatise by Desiderius Erasmus, Copia: Foundations of the Abundant Style.
The new edition includes twenty-five exercises making their English translation debut. Queneau wrote many exercises during his lifetime. He swapped old ones for new ones when a new edition of Exercises in Style was published by Gallimard in 1973; others were published in magazines but never included in any edition of the book. And others still were simply never published at all. "Definitional" was originally included in the first French edition of Exercises in Style, only to be removed in the later edition.

Charlie worked very hard to make the kids a play kitchen for Christmas...and I can't believe I haven't showed it off, yet! (For some reason, I thought that I already had.)
But once it actually started to look like a kitchen, there were several evenings and weekends that I had to distract the kids while Charlie worked:
Charlie, the perfectionist, sliced every bubble in the fabric countertop and got it completely smooth. We got the faucet & knobs for the stove from the Habitat ReStore. The sink is a buffet steam tray. The burners are yogurt lids. The oven racks are cooling racks from Dollar Tree. The pans are hanging on dowel rods (and we got the hooks from Ikea when we lived in our very first apartment that had one drawer and maybe three cabinets...we hung everything in that kitchen but I didn't care...I was just so happy to be married.) The oven handle is from Lowe's. One of my favorite elements, is the wine glass rack that Char just had to make. (I'm glad that he insisted.)
My crafty-sister, Kyle, had drawn the kid's names for Christmas. She knew they couldn't have a play kitchen without some accessories! She made them these adorable aprons with some felt food and wooden spoons in each pocket.
McKlayne received a felt poptart (how perfect is that?) in her apron pocket. (You can't see it here, but she sewed each tiny "sprinkle" bead on by hand. Talk about a labor of love.)
As soon as Asher opened the gift from Aunt Kyle, he gasped with excitement and picked up the wooden spoon, "Our own spanking spoons!?"
One side has hooks to hang their adorable aprons:
And the other side has a chalkboard that keeps the kids busy drawing:
For Christmas, each of the grandparents gave the kids food for their kitchen: pizza, bread, veggies & fruit, and a felt food set of hamburgers with all the fixings! And the "College Station Grandparents", Duane & Marylou, gave them pots, pans & utensils! Thanks everyone for helping furnish the kitchen!
Now, I'm on the lookout for a stool that is light enough for her to move on her own.
Charlie's labor of love was well worth it. There isn't a day that goes by that these two don't play with this thing.

Councils call for changes to dangerous dog laws
Victorian councils say the state's dangerous dog laws need urgent amendments.
The Supreme Court has given two dogs a death row reprieve after ruling authorities had failed to meet all the criteria needed to declare the pets were American pit bull terriers.
The Monash Council is one of the authorities involved in the case.
Monash mayor Micaela Drieberg says the laws need to be refined to help protect the community.
"The laws were introduced with the best of intentions and that's to keep dangerous dogs away from our community and the risk that they pose," she said.
"It's not actually doing that the best that it can because it is so difficult to correctly identify some breeds of dogs."
Victoria's Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh says the laws governing restricted dog breeds will be reviewed after the court decision.
"We will be having a look at the case in detail and if it requires legislative amendment to improve the ability of councils to manage these types of dog in the community, we're prepared to look at that," he said.

Picture Captain Kyle Theriot, high up in the crow's nest of the good ship Monte Bello,
–actually, Monte Bello viticulturist Kyle Theriot, high up in the cab of his truck–
his tri-corner cocked jauntily against the brisk sea breezes,
–actually, his dirty straw cowboy hat, pulled low over his forehead, to stave off a July sunburn–
with his trusty parrot Emma perched watchfully on his shoulder.

He scans the horizon watchfully, through his one seasoned, crinkle-cornered, salt-air-cracked eye,

His eye sights on a small hump of color differentiated from the endless blue surrounding it,

All of which is to say that we have CONFIRMED veraison at Monte Bello! Specifically, in the Gate Block cab, down at Jimsomare.
Which means, for those of you not familiar with the term, that the grapes they are a-ripenin'!

Vernon Davis OK being secondary option as long as 49ers win
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Vernon Davis could be grumbling right now, and his complaints would be understandable.
The San Francisco 49ers tight end has just seven total receptions in his team's last seven games, hasn't had a multi-catch game since Dec. 2 and hasn't scored a touchdown since Nov. 19.
Davis' slide has coincided with the 49ers' quarterback switch from Alex Smith to Colin Kaepernick, and the emergence of receiver Michael Crabtree as Kaepernick's favorite receiver in an attack that now relies on more read-option plays.
Kaepernick targeted Davis five times in the 49ers' win against the Green Bay Packers last week, but only one of those passes was completed. Another was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
But Davis is still thinking about that one catch — a 44-yarder that helped set up a third-quarter touchdown in San Francisco's 45-31 win.
CHAMPIONSHIP PICKS:Who's going to Super Bowl XLVII?
"It made me feel like I was unstoppable. It just takes one," Davis said Thursday. "That's why I enjoy this game. Once you get that one catch in a big game, it's all downhill after that."
Davis has the experience to back up his words. In two playoff games last year, he caught 10 passes for 292 yards and four touchdowns.
Davis seems to understand he's no longer the primary receiver. But as long as the 49ers are still playing, he is happy to play a secondary role.
"For me, I've just got to take advantage of my opportunities. We're winning, and that's a great thing. That's outstanding," Davis said. "I'm just excited to be here, excited to be part of this team and contribute in anyway."

text: ALBANY -- After finishing what she hopes will be her last cigarette Wednesday morning, 33-year-old mother of twins Trisha Santiago of Corinth vowed, in front of her coworkers and the media, to quit the habit she has had since she was 17. Santiago quit once already, when she became pregnant with twins in the summer of 2011, another in a long line of attempts to give up the addiction. However, when faced with tough circumstances in April of last year, she once again gave in to the desire. Those tough times began last January, when Santiago gave birth to Andrew and Alex. While the births were successful, both boys were born premature, severely underweight and suffering from bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung disease. They required an extended stay in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit. "It was the most painful thing in my life to see a child, hooked up to tubes, fighting to breathe for its life," Santiago said. After three long months in the NICU, her son Andrew was to undergo what Santiago believed to be a simple surgery. Afterward, he did not wake up for five days. "That was the final blow. I needed that cigarette to calm my nerves," Santiago said. "Since then I haven't put them back down." After nine months smoke-free, Santiago had given in to the habit. Now, she is trying to quit again. If she were putting down the pack on her own, her chances at success would be slim, but she is quitting in grand fashion. Wednesday morning Santiago, a member services manager at the Clifton Park SEFCU branch, made a vow not only with herself, but all 750 of her co-workers and in front of the news media at inside an auditorium of SEFCU's corporate headquarters. "This time I cannot do it on my own, I need the support of those around me," Santiago said. "Having a husband whose allergic to smoke, family and friends who don't smoke and wish that I would quit, it's time. And now I've got my reason, my two little boys," she said. " I never want to have to see me struggle for breath as they did." She is not the first in the region to attempt to quit with limelight's aid. Last February, Tressa Rossi of Amsterdam announced her own attempt. As part of her announcement and a promotion by the state American Heart Association and Smokers' Quitline, she received a red dress pin to help remind her of hew commitment. She has not smoked since. In a symbolic gesture, Rossi presented that very same pin to Santiago, in hopes that it will help her maintain a path through life unblemished by cigarettes. As part of February's position as American Heart Month, the event was hosted to bring awareness to the dangers smoking poses for heart health. This month, tobacco users who call the Smokers' Quitline will be provided with a red dress pin or wristband as a tangible reminder of their commitment to better heart health. Lung cancer, most commonly caused by smoking, kills many of the 25,500 smokers who die each year in New York. It is the number one most deadly form of cancer for both men and women in the state. Treating health care needs associated with smoking costs the state $8 billion annually, $5.4 of billion in Medicaid costs. Despite such statistics, the state has cut funding for the Tobacco Control Program the $85 million funding level in the 2006 fiscal year to $41.4 this fiscal year, according to figures from the AHA. The Centers for Disease Control have recommended the state spend $254 million to reduce tobacco costs. Kathy Lanni, a board member of the Capital Region AHA, encouraged Santiago at the onset of her mission. "Many of us wear our red dress pins everyday," said Lanni. "Every time you put that on know you are surrounded by many other people in the community who love you, want to see you do well and know you will." "We'll see you back here next year," she added. If you wish to contact Ian Benjamin by phone, he can be reached at 270-1287.

The Royal Baby and 7 Other Funny Tots to Follow on Twitter
Kids: you can't live with 'em, and you can't leave 'em in the bear cage at the zoo. Whether you have kids, want kids, or want to stay as far away as possible from them, we've found eight ankle-biters on Twitter who will deliver bursts of laughter and nostalgia amidst your stale stream.
Well, sort of. Twitter's privacy policy states, "If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we take steps to remove such information and terminate the child's account." So why do these miniature proto-humans get preferential treatment? The answer isthey don't. These accounts are all "unofficial" parody accounts, meaning people other than the whippersnappers themselves operate them. This flies with Twitter, which lets users create parody accounts provided they don't stake claim to another's identity and follow a few guidelines to clear up any possible confusion.
Nevertheless, these accounts are worthy of your time. Most of them attempt to give a voice—albeit a spoiled one—to the children of celebrities. Because let's be honest: the only thing more intriguing than getting a glimpse into the life of a superstar is getting a glimpse into the life of the baby of two superstars. (Yes, Blue Ivy, we're staring at you.) One of the accounts mimics a young diva that has attained stardom in her own right…maybe. And seriously, when you curse your daughter with a name like North West, as Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did, you're actually begging for everyone to taunt her on the grown-up playground that is Twitter.
Before you jump into this ball pit of babies worth following, remember that kids can be fussy and often throw fits. (Read: some of the language included in their tweets is downright dirty, and we aren't talking potty humor.)

Right now British music needs another bombastic female singer like a hole in the head (or Jessie J, as she's more commonly known). Seemingly all conceivable bases have been covered, whether that be the ker-azey Kate Bush aping fare of Florence & The Machine, the shill electronic siren niche that La Roux burst out of in 2009 or Adele's mega-selling bruised damsel oeuvre. All are accomplished, wildly popular and come with a fair few less palatable imitators to boot.
Whether there's room in such a crowded marketplace for former Groove Armada singer and collaborator Saint Saviour to wield her synth-heavy wares seems dubious. What is under absolutely no doubt however, is the quality of songwriting Becky Jones holds at her disposal.
The Anatomy EP is by no means perfect. But when it hits its stride, there's more than enough talent here to pique the attention for a full length offering.
Taking her musical queues from the coarse, throbbing hubris of her Groove Armada co-written tracks such as 'Paper Romance', rather than the demure, piano-guilded sound of early single 'Fallen Trees', this is a release that both refines Jones's persona as an ambitious-minded artist willing to take risks and push boundaries but solidifies her burgeoning reputation for accessible pop music with an alternative edge.
Opener 'Ain't No Hymn' is the EP's essential inclusion, a slow-churning ballad of echoing, treated vocals and strict, metronomic electric drums. Exercising considerable restraint to shy away from an obvious super-massive chorus, its juddering unease proves a supremely clever and far superior treatment. 'Birdsong' delivers the delayed pay-off with a fat, squelching synth line hook for Jones' considerable vocal talent to grab onto with a brooding lyrical motif of insomnia and insecurity, "Day won't break 'cos I have birdsong in my dreams".
The remainder of Anatomy retreats back to more plaintive fare with 'Reasons' being carried on the strength of a belting vocal take and a strung out guitar line layered to build a reverberating eeriness as the track gathers momentum. Likewise, 'Hurricanes' is a low-key affair, too much so for the final track of such a short offering, yet its sombre cocktail of occasionally thrusting electronics and sharp, high-pitched percussive punctuations leave enough intrigue to create a lasting impression.
Despite the sterling field of competition, Anatomy takes great pains to create an insular and distinct experience populated by damaged individuals, haunted by nature as eluded to on 'Hurricanes', "Sometimes when the seas are rough you cry to the night." If not for its brevity and flawed pacing it would be an outstanding introduction. To breach that barrier, there's always the debut album.

Architect excited about Burlington Station renovation
Thanks to plans unveiled by KETV last week, Omaha's old Burlington Station has a bright future.
Helping those plans become reality is Nebraska native Leo A. Daly III.
"This is going to create a fantastic image for Omaha," Daly said.
The project is not just another renovation for Daly, however. You can tell the world renowned architect is excited to be renovating the former train station into the new home of KETV and KETV.com.
Daly's grandfather started the family business nearly 100 years ago and not far from his newest project site at 925 S. 10th St.
"He opened his office nearby because this was the connection to the rest of the world," Daly said.
Recently, Daly walked through the Burlington with KETV NewsWatch 7's Rob McCartney.
"(The mosaic floors) has to be perfect condition to survive this long," Daly said. "And this has had a lot of traffic."
Daly described the ornate ceilings as the kind of thing you'd see in Italy and the Vatican.
It won't be the first newsroom Daly has worked on. A number of years ago, Daly renovated the Washington Bureau for CBS News and Walter Cronkite.
"He said, 'Young man, just make sure I have an office and it has a door and it has some bookshelves,'" Daly recalled the conversation. "And I said, 'Yes sir!'"
In a salute to the building's history, Daly plans to keep the Burlington's soaring ceilings, saying they make you feel better, inspire you and maybe even stir the imagination.
"The walls will have wonderful stories to tell," Daly said. "It's as if the building has been fighting to keep itself until we came along."
The renovation is scheduled to be complete in 2015.

Anyway, I made these Pumpkin Poppers the other day because my mom mentioned she made them and how good they were. I had some leftover pumpkin in the fridge that I needed to use up, so I decided to try them. The recipes calls for 3/4 cup of pumpkin.. and what do you know.. I had exactly 3/4 cup. It was definitely meant to be. ;)
They are kind of like little pumpkin donut holes. They're addictive little things... delicious any time of the day.. but go really good with coffee in the morning. Which is how I'm enjoying my morning today.
Pumpkin Poppers
recipe from Domestically Speaking
- 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. allspice
- 1/8 tsp. ground cloves
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 cup milk
For Coating
- 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp. cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350 F and spray mini muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine flour, baking powder ,salt, and spices in a bowl and whisk until combine.
In another bowl, mix oil, brown sugar, egg, vanilla, pumpkin, and milk. Pour in flour mixture and mix until just combined. Fill mini muffin tins until almost full and bake 10-12 minutes.
Melt butter in small bowl. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a separate small bowl. After poppers cool for a few minutes, LIGHTLY coat them in butter (I prefer to brush on the butter) and roll them in the sugar mixture. Enjoy. :)

Liberty News
Liberty nursing cadet ranks No. 1 in nation
Liberty University senior Petra Gerber has two reasons to celebrate. Not only is she finishing the nursing program in December after only three and a half years, but she has been ranked the No. 1 U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) nursing cadet.
Gerber thought she would rank well, but still, she said, "It was somewhat of a shock."
The ranking was announced in September and included 235 other nursing cadets in the nation, which are pulled from the main Order of Merit list of all 5,342 Army ROTC cadets in all fields of study (Gerber ranked 129th). Assessed annually, the OML rankings are based on a cadet's GPA, physical fitness, extracurricular activities and a leadership evaluation.
"Obviously, she excelled in all of those areas," said Senior Military Science Instructor Major Robert Foy. "She has it all."
He added that nursing is a demanding major, "and then when you consider ROTC on top of it, it's just really incredible — it's like having two full-time jobs."
He said Liberty has been fortunate to have many students rank in the top 200 for the last few years. Alex Woody was ranked No. 8 out of 4,702 in September 2009.
Gerber attributes her success to her parents — both did ROTC when they were in college — who have always supported her and given her the will to succeed.
"I naturally want to do my best, even when it doesn't matter," she said. "I'm disappointed in myself when I don't do well."
She said one experience that helped motivate her to study hard was when she toured the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., during her sophomore year. She said it made her want to learn more about nursing so she would be able to provide the best care possible to servicemembers and their families.
But she hasn't always aspired to be a nurse.
"I never wanted to be a nurse. My aunt is a nurse, and I just thought it was really hard work and that wasn't for me," she said. "[But] Just coming through nursing school, it has been the biggest blessing of my entire life. I will never be happier than in the center of God's will because that's where I should be."
