Park Ally is a blog that is devoted to informing visitors about traffic safety; from the many types of bollards to new and interesting or controversial traffic laws, my hope is that you will learn more about what exactly keeps the roads reasonably safe, as well as what you can do to adhere to the rules. Many of us have a tendency to engage in riskier behavior on the road when we're impatient or driven by irrational rage, but as you probably know this behavior can wind up ruining the lives of others as well as yourself in the worst circumstances. If you're a business owner who wants to prevent damage to your business, it's a good idea to protect your property with state-of-the-art traffic security measures.
Here's one company that's working to keep the roads safer, in different ways, for drivers and pedestrians alike.
People who want to protect their assets from traffic damage, as well as pedestrians, should consider installing a system of bollards during or immediately following the property's construction. You'll want store entrances and other areas exposed to traffic to be protected by certain types of traffic posts, delineators or channelizers. They have many top quality traffic safety products to ensure that your property is safe from vehicle damage.
With a wide array of products, reputable companies offer parking bollards that are lockable, non-locking, removable, embedded or surface mounted, along with channelizers and delineators such as barricade tape, stackable cones and recycled rubber bases. If you want added longevity for your traffic posts, consider their pipe sleeves, which will prevent posts from experiencing wear caused by weather and other factors.
Most prices are reasonable, and their products come in many colors to help supplement nearly any property's environment.
Learn More About How We Drive
I was scouring the web for others who share my interest in traffic safety, and I came across an interesting author named Tom Vanderbilt (as far as I know, not related to the Vanderbilts) who has written a New York Times bestseller called Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us), which analyzes the dynamics of drivers and answers pertinent questions many of us have about how we drive, but never find an answer, such as "why does the other lane seem to be moving faster?"
Vanderbilt has also written a companion blog about traffic safety to accompany his book, with a lot of additional information that keeps his readers updated when something new and interesting about the world of traffic comes to light. It's certainly an interesting read.
Look Out for Updates!
If I happen to learn about a trend in traffic safety or discover a company or person dedicated to keeping the roads safer, I'll be sure to include them in future posts to spread the knowledge.

Twilight Music and Next Stage Arts Project present an evening of traditional and contemporary Celtic music featuring high energy bagpipes/fiddle/guitar trio Cantrip and multi-instrumentalist/vocalist Emerald Rae on Friday, April 21 at 7:30 pm.
From the strong base of its Celtic roots, Cantrip branches out into the music of other European cultures. Weaving together songs and tunes, Dan Houghton, Jon Bews and Eric McDonald take an audience on a cultural journey, putting their own spin on each style. Known for their innovative arrangements, un-produced sound and dry wit, Cantrip has toured throughout Scotland and the U.S., expanding the boundaries of Celtic music along the way.
Cantrip sprung from a local music session in Edinburgh, Scotland, sixteen years ago. The band name is an Old Scots word meaning a charm, magic spell or piece of mischief, and it aptly describes the unexpected twists and turns in the trio's musical arrangements as well as the compelling potency of their musicianship. Dan Houghton (bagpipes, flute, whistles, guitar, vocals) was born in Ghana, but was transported to Scotland shortly thereafter, where he was surrounded by the indigenous music. He has won the Scottish Lowland and Border Pipers' Society Open Borderpipes and New Composition events, as well as the Maitre de Cornemuse at St. Chartier. Jon Bews (fiddle, vocals) came to Scots music from a classical education by way of Goth rock. He has performed and recorded with such diverse artists as Malinky, James Yorkston, Mikel Urdangarin, Ranarim, Deaf Mutes and Samling. As a U.S. native, Eric McDonald (guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, vocals) found his way to traditional music through the rich local music scene in Boston, and studies with guitarist/mandolinist John McGann and cellist Eugene Friesen at Berklee College of Music.
U.S. National Scottish Fiddle Champion and Berklee College of Music graduate, Emerald Rae has performed with a wide range of musical artists over the years including the Boston-based Celtic Americana band Annalivia, Irish-American singer/songwriter Cathie Ryan, the pan-Celtic international supergroup The Outside Track, and Mick Moloney's Green Fields of America. The masterfully soulful fiddler's solo performances also feature her vocals, percussive step-dancing, and multi-instrumental prowess on guitar and Welsh crwth.
Advance tickets are available at www.nextstagearts.org, Turn It Up in Brattleboro, and Putney Food Co-op in Putney. Next Stage will provide a beer and wine cash bar.

I've never been much of a cryer — even when I was a kid and had pretty good reason to start bawling. So I'm always caught a bit off-guard when something parenting-related turns me into a Best Actress Oscar recipient.
I cried for the first time as a parent the second my now 5-year-old son was born. While it's close to impossible to describe the sensation, it reminded me very much of the moment before one throws up after drinking too much tequila. Something suddenly seemed off physiologically, and my point of view turned omniscient — like I was suddenly watching events from five feet above my head. Then my body started having a conversation with itself. "Something odd is going on here." "Yeah, I noticed it too. Weird." "It seems to be starting in the stomach, and my throat feels sort of tingly." "If I didn't know better I'd think I was about to throw u …" Except instead of throwing up when my son was born, I started sobbing uncontrollably with happiness. (Technically, the opposite of puking …)
I'm thinking about this right now because my 5-year-old starts kindergarten this morning, an event that seemingly has a high weepiness potential. Then again, maybe not. I've constantly been surprised at what triggers an emotional moment when it comes to my kids. It rarely happens when I'm expecting it.
Below are parenting milestones that have caused me to get a little verklempt. Yours in the comments.
First time wearing a backback: I'm usually the one who drops my sons off at preschool or babysitters, and for whatever reason I've been able to keep it together every time — even when I had to physically remove my older son clinging to my leg. But the first time he tried on his new backpack (the day before the first day of preschool) was just too overwhelming to handle. The backpack was so big. And he was so small. JanSport needs to work this into a commercial somehow …
First Giants game: I've already written enough about this. Except I left out the part about me spending most of the night trying to hold my s*** together.
First time sitting through a movie: The times we took our 3-month-old to baby brigade movies in a car carrier don't count. But right around the time of the first movie in our wildly successful but now defunct "The Poop Presents" series, I brought my then 2-year-old son to his first movie. His legs were so short that he just kind of sat in an L-shape, with his feet barely hanging off the front of the chair. Even thought it was "The Muppet Movie," which I hadn't seen on a big screen since it came out, I still ended up watching my kid more than the film … *sniff* … moving right along …
Just about every time they hang out with my parents: I'm not sure whether I should write my own thing here or just link to this song. I will say that the only time I nearly cried during my wedding was when I looked at my father, who looked like he was about to bawl. I suspect that's what I look like when he's reading one of my sons a book. (One day my kids will have kids, and my dad and I will both start crying at the same time.)
Last time sleeping in a crib: My younger son is about to make the transition from the crib to the bed, and I'm worried I"m going to need serious psychiatric help to get through it. I've never had a big problem when my sons outgrow their clothes — even with the knowledge that our younger boy is going to be our last. But the crib just killed me. I'm guessing it had to do with the walls coming down, and my inability to protect him or something. My wife can tell you that I spent an insane amount of time putting pillows around our older son's new bed, even though the distance from mattress to floor was about 14 inches. The crib is a borrowed one, and after we move our son, we have plans to pass it on to another friend. I hope they don't need much help getting it from our baby room to the truck. I plan to be heavily medicated …
What parenting milestones turned you into a sobbing mess?

Getting a HANDL on it
Study shows connection between diet and regulation of inflammation
11:12 a.m., Dec. 2, 2013--Most people know that high cholesterol levels increase their risk for cardiovascular disease, but attention has recently turned to another chemical in the body, C-reactive protein, that may be an even better predictor of heart attack and stroke risk.
Produced in the liver and measured through a blood test, C-reactive protein, or CRP, is a marker for inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation has been linked with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
Research Stories
Chronic wounds
Prof. Heck's legacy
Now, the results of a study led by Marie Kuczmarski, professor in the Department of Behavioral Health and Nutrition at the University of Delaware, indicate that what people eat can directly affect their levels of CRP. The research used data from the National Institute on Aging HANDLS (Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Lifespan) study.
HANDLS is a community-based longitudinal study designed to examine how race, sex, and socioeconomic status influence age-related health disparities. Participants are African American and white adults, ranging in age from 30 to 64 at the beginning of the study, of diverse socioeconomic status and living in Baltimore.
"We found an inverse relationship between diet quality and CRP levels in low-income adults," says Kuczmarski. "The lower the quality of the diet, the higher the levels of CRP."
Kuczmarski explains that foods rich in antioxidants help the body to get rid of cell-damaging free radicals, providing a valuable line of defense against aging and disease. Antioxidant nutrients provided by the diet can protect the body from destructive free radicals.
"This work illustrates that poor diet is associated with both obesity and the development of the clinical inflammatory state, particularly among African Americans," says Dr. Michele Evans, co-principal investigator of the HANDLS study and deputy scientific director of the National Institute on Aging at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). "This association may in part explain the mechanism behind the role of diet in age-associated health disparities like cardiovascular disease and cancer."
What are the potential public health implications of the study?
Good sources of the nutrients in question are found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and Kuczmarski admits that telling people to eat more of these foods is not a new message.
"Registered dietitians and public health nutritionists can provide people with advice on dietary antioxidants and health as well as on selecting foods to improve their diet quality and reduce their risk of inflammation," she says.
"But it's important to develop interventions that are easy to implement and that take into account the current diet of the specific population," she continues. "Many HANDLS participants who have high CRP levels eat a lot of sandwiches, so we need to focus on small changes like substituting whole grain bread for white bread, reducing the amount of deli meat, and adding some lettuce and tomatoes. These tweaks to the diet may go a long way toward reducing the high risk of obesity and disease that are associated with lower socioeconomic status."
In addition to Kuczmarski and Evans, the paper was co-authored by Deanne Allegro, HANDLS dietary research manager at UD, and Marc Mason and HANDLS co-principal investigator Alan Zonderman of the National Institute on Aging, which funded the work.

What is a "Listening Room," you ask? It's just what the name implies: a space where you go to listen. Talking is not permitted during a performance. A Listening Room environment creates the best and most intimate experience that an artist can share with an attentive audience. It's like having a personal, live concert in your own living room! Artists who perform at The Bugle Boy have great things to say about this special listening environment; our audiences do too.
CHILDREN - 12 yr and older may attend.
Parents must decern whether the performance is child appropriate.
"It's hard to name it and it has nothing to do with its size . . . but some rooms have it and some rooms don't. The Bugle Boy has got it."

How do you get your rib-eye so tender?
In the quest to cook the perfect rib-eye, I'm curious to hear tips for getting the most tender steak. I do pretty well, but sometimes I have mixed results. I suspect that quality and age of the meat accounts for the variations. But if you have any tips to share, please let me know.

One Electric dog fence company says their containment collar has 128 levels of correction. Are more levels of correction better for training? Will it help training go quicker?
First, let's outline what "levels of correction" are:
- "Level of correction" is a term used to describe the intensity of the shock the dog will receive when crossing the boundary.
- Saying there are 128 levels of correction means there are 128 different levels of intensity in the shocks the dog can receive.
Telling dog owners that their pet needs so many levels of correction is confusing and unnecessary. A simple correction is just as effective as many levels.
If you've ever touched a hot stove accidentally you know how a correction works. When you put your hand on a hot stove did you care what the temperature was or did you just know it was unpleasant? You probably just wanted to remove your hand as quickly as possible. If the stove was 165 degrees would it have made a difference to you? What about 168 degrees? Hot is hot! All we need to know is that the heat caused pain. What mattered is that it was enough of an uncomfortable stimuli to get our attention and cause us to pay attention to where our hand was at the time it received it's 'correction.'
The same is true of dogs experiencing corrections on the electric dog fence.
Instead of focusing on many levels of correction, the trainer should only let a dog get a correction when it's behavior is confidently inquisitive or confidently bold, never when the dog is fearful or scared. Training is so important in teaching a dog where it can safely go in the yard and where it should avoid. Proper training – although it may seemingly take a bit longer – is fairer to the dog and promotes solid lifelong understanding.

Te Nikau Retreat Backpacker Rates and Deals
Te Nikau Retreat Backpacker Punakaiki Reviews
3 reviews
THE place to relax Nov 27, 2009
I HAVE TO talk to you about this place.
I stayed there 2 weeks like woofer, so i can already tell you that it s really clean !
But the most important is the context.
This "backpacker" (because i think that it s a little more..) is located on the West Coast of the south island, around Punakaiki, small town which is famous for the Pancakes Rocks (3 kms only).
At 5 mns from a beautiful beach, the sea will be the only sound disturbing your relaxation !
And you will have the choice between several lovely houses integrated in the bush, from a bed in a dorm until a cottage.
You will wake up each morning with the smell from the homemade bread and muffins (Yes, i made it too!).
Of course, you have to stay at least several days to enjoy the place and the activities (kayaking on the beautiful Porari river, beaches, tracks..).
Finally you won't resist at the 2 lovely wekas (kind of birds who can't fly, like kiwis) who stay around to beg some food..

Germiest Things in Hotel Rooms? Stuff You Touch First
Want to avoid germs during your next hotel stay? Wipe down that TV remote and the switch on your bedside lamp before you touch them. Researchers from the University of Houston took bacteria samples from several items in hotel rooms in three states, reports MyHealthNewsDaily.com. While you might expect the toilet and the sink to have high levels of bacteria, researchers found more surprising items with high contamination levels, such as the remote and the switch on the bedside lamp …

I believe my past has really determined my present relationship problemsVisitor's Question from a 21-30 year old Female
I believe my past has really determined my present relationship problems. As much as I may like a guy and start to have deep feelings for I find my body tensing and holding myself back. No matter how great things seem to get I can't trust him, its always well he hasn't called what is he doing, are their other girls? I get very insecure about myself and the relationship and it damages the relationship. A few years ago I had these dreams that were not making sense, in fact they seemed gross to me. I dreamed that my oldest brother while he was suppose to be babysitting me (I was a child in the dream, really am 23)was experimenting with me so to speak with his penis (we are 10 years a part. This dream haunted me for a while afraid to talk with anyone that I was this sinner I found the courage to talk with my Godmother and mother and go to find out it wasn't just a dream. When I was 6 he melested me for practically a year but I somehow blocked it out. Now I'm seeing this guy who I completely adore and I don't want to risk losing him because of my past. Should I tell him what happened to me, make him understand that this is the reason I'm still a virgin, why I become tense when we attempt to have sex, that I need reassurance that not another man I trust in my life let me down? I don't know what to do?
RomanceClass.com Advice
It is not unusual for people to block out traumatic emotions. And those emotions, untreated, will cause problems like you are having.
My advice is to see a counselor with experience in these matters and get some help.
Your idea of telling your boyfriend about what happened is a good one and should help you relax more.
Wishing you well!

Release Notes: This release changed the build system to cmake. The oggResize tool was renamed to oggTranscode and was rewritten completly to have some more features. oggCat is now able to concatenate videos of different frame size, frame rate, audio sample rates, etc. The concatenation process will not have any effect on video and audio synchronization any more. Additionally, there are now installer packages for Windows and Mac OS X.
Release Notes: This release adds two new command line tools to the ogg video tools. The first one is oggSilence. It creates an Ogg/Vorbis file of a specified length that is filled with silence. All audio parameters, like sample rate, datarate, and number of channels can be given by command line options. The second tool is oggResize. It can resize a given Ogg file consisting of a Theora and/or a Vorbis stream. The available features are changing the framesize, the framerate or samplerate, changing the video or audio bitrate and many more.
Release Notes: This release fixes minor bugs with oggCut and adds a win32 version of the ogg video tools (available for all commandline tools except oggScroll).
Release Notes: This release adds two scripts to the project to create a thumbnail series and a slideshow with sound in an easy way. Additionally, it adds support for corrupt end-of-file identifiers, fixes some minor bugs, and updates the documentation.
Release Notes: This release contains a new command line tool "oggResize", which converts an Ogg/Theora file into another Ogg/Theora file with a different framesize, framerate, and datarate. Additionally, the release has been cleaned up and some minor bugs have been solved.
Release Notes: This release offers two new command line tools. The first is oggSlideshow, which creates a video slideshow from a number of given images, e.g. with the Ken Burns Effect. The second is oggThumb, which creates thumbnail images from a Theora video stream. There are additional changes like support for kate streams, handling of files beyond 4 GB in size, and some minor bugfixes.
Release Notes: This version includes, beside minor bugfixes, an update for gcc 3.4 and a major cleanup in the configure script. A documentation file for detailed information of the tools has been added, and the doxygen source code documentation has been started.
Release Notes: This new release adds two new command line tools. oggLength returns the length of an Ogg file, and oggScroll displays every successive Theora video frame with timing information on keypress. Some minor bugs have been solved.
Release Notes: This version includes an additional command line tool: oggCat, which concatenates ogg files. Additionally, a configure script was introduced to provide an easy way to compile and install the tools. A minor enhancement is that oggCut is now able to cut audio-only files as well as ogg files with video and audio.
Release Notes: This version provides two new command line tools. "oggJoin" multiplexes video and audio streams. It works together with oggSplit, which demultiplexes an ogg video file into its video and audio streams. Additionally, there is the "oggCut" command line tool, which creates a new ogg video file by giving the original file and a start and end position.

Neuer excited by Dortmund cup final
Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer is predicting Saturday's DFB-Pokal final against Borussia Dortmund to live up to its heavyweight billing.
The Germany goalkeeper is excited by the showdown against Dortmund as the Bundesliga champions look to cap an excellent season in style.
The Bavarian giants failed to defend their UEFA Champions League crown but there has been no shortage of success for Pep Guardiola's men this season, who have also won FIFA's Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.
They can complete the quadruple of trophies against Jurgen Klopp's Dortmund in a repeat of last year's Champions League final and Neuer expects a close encounter.
"We're looking forward to it," he told Bayern's official website.
"It should be an exciting game between the top two teams in Germany.
"It's a final deserving of its name. We are evenly matched, and it will go down to the wire."
Neuer also claimed that the club's thirst for success and playing at fortress Allianz Arena have been major factors in their success.
"We're extremely successful and the best team in Germany, a great feeling," he added.
"We always play in front of a full house, the atmosphere is always amazing and our will to win is unbeatable."

It's like a day at a medieval competition with all the flags and tents stuck in a gravelly space half an hour out of Vegas. There's the chance to see new things in the daylight, ride bikes on dry gravel and see what everyone else is after riding as well.
Chris King was showing its collection of shinyness. It's also just started building wheels in house for the US market. No plans to do that in Europe yet though.
Camelbak Podium.
Camelbak has released what's probably the world's first right-handed specific water bottle. (Unintentionally, mind you…)
In order to make the new Podium easier to squeeze, Camelbak has put some distinct ridges, which are all for a right thumb. Great if you drink right handed (which for us Brits is good as it leaves your spare hand covering the rear brake. Less fab for the Euros and Americans. The bottle will work left handed too, it's just that it works better in the right hand. Reckon I'm getting over-obsessed with it? OK then…
The leak-proof cap is also new – with a much wider port/sphincter and it comes apart super easily for cleaning too.
Giro's women's helmets are looking great with these big splashes of colour on mostly white helmets. There are other colours too, but Giro was being all designery and minimal.
POC, meanwhile has a new road helmet coming out which is sleek and also well vented. And comes in orange. A colour they've picked because it's visible around five times further away than a black or white lid.
Giro on the pumpkins.
Sharing a similar colour scheme (and with matching shoes) was this selection from Giro. Obviously the colour of the season is a sort of dark pumpkin orange. There's big emphasis on camo too. And ever-present black.
While we're on the subject of helmets, Smith was showing its new trail helmet that uses, for want of a better description, a collection of plastic drinking straws for impact protection. According to Smith, the material is hard-wearing and also gives you protection through your vents from sticks and the like. It's a striking design and probably one we'll get used to after seeing it for a while.

More from PEDRO74
From facebook-The BB butt
There was a couple whose marriage was in a less than fair situation. Much of their disagreements were about sex. The husband enjoyed when he had relations with his wife, to call her Brigitte Bardot, and she hated that. The other issue was that of the husband wants anal intercourse and she was against. So their life was getting worse. So the woman decided to do something to save the marriage. One morning, she went to a tattoo artist asked him to tattoo him a B in each butt cheek, and told him the story about her husband fetish with Brigitte Bardot. She went home after…By late afternoon, when her husband came home from work, the woman told him: - "Dear, go to the room I have a surprise for you." And so her husband was overjoyed, and they get twelve hours hustle and bustle. When they finally had enough, she turned to him and said: - "You know, dear, I still have one more surprise .. . "- "Another surprise?! But I don't know if I can stand ..." The woman got out of bed, turned on the light and turned the but to him "So baby, what do you think?" To which the husband replies: - "BOB?!? Who is BOB?!?"

Why is a mobile event app a must have? A few reasons why based on our App of the month
Digital content on top of your event checklist
Going mobile is on everybody's mind. Digital content and apps have been tried and tested in nearly every sector and business department. And today they've also became an indispensable tool for event organisers. But there are too many apps and we're going through apps discoverability crisis you might say?
Targeted and with added value
A well-known automotive group understood the needs of their partners and sales teams and decided to offer them an event e-publication as a part of their internal comms and B2B strategy. They knew their personas and what makes them tick:
– they were often working on the go
– they were incentives driven
– they were using multiple mobile devices
– physical event gadgets and promos were not cutting through
Therefore they chose to use interactive digital content to promote and incentivise a group of sales teams and their partners invited to take part in an annual sales programme with a trip to Australia as a prize. A functional marketing app was a solution to easily promote their annual gathering in a fun, convenient and interactive way.
And as a value add, they peppered the app with useful event details such as visually stunning and informative content about the event destination Australia. So the winners could forget not only about old fashioned paper event invitations or programmes but also maps and guides needed to find their way around the land of kangaroos.
Mobile app for event can be easily done and affordable – crushing the myths
But why an app? There are many myths stopping marketers from using mobile content:
My event is small – do I really need complex, big tech to run it?
Yes, the automotive client understood that even a small scale gathering can bring a big ROI especially if it's aimed at sales professionals driven by incentives, winners' celebrations and the feeling of pride. And the mobile apps with it's engagement mechanics, push notifications and in app analytics can deliver exactly that.
My budget is tiny – I cannot afford expensive coding and app development
Today's innovative mobile software solutions offer high level quality of digital content with an affordable price ticket. Advanced technology provides all in one, templated content and authoring tools so businesses can reuse existing event documents and distribute cross-device.
My timings are tight – I don't have enough time to develop e-publishing content
And all of this can be done fast with no developers and coding time. With real time changes run in house when needed due to flexible and user application friendly management tools and user interface available in Next Gen apps.
Why Aquafadas?
This is where the Aquafadas digital publishing tools came handy. With a recommendation from digital agencies working with the client (Stich and River) our digital publishing software was chosen and became a base for the event mobile publication.
"Aquafadas offers various price levels so it's something we can offer on a smaller scale or to clients with lesser budgets. Their solutions include easy to create issues that are engaging and interactive for the viewer on their tablet device", Steven Biseker, Design & Production Director, Stich

Love the plot build on Ethan's depression and all that
It's perfectly realistic and makes me emphathize with him
Looking forwards to what you concoct next~
A talking Sox, liking it
| Gamenerd 808 chapter 2 . 3/12/2011
who created the hollow pen, when, why?
| AngelIshtar7 chapter 2 . 1/20/2011
Love it Love it LOVE IT! Please write more. I love your idea. I really wanna know what or who thats trying to kill Ethan! but great job im really enjoying this :D
| WhatAmISupposedToWriteHere chapter 2 . 1/16/2011
This story is awesome! Why in the world did u stop updating? U were just gettin started!
| Awesome Archer chapter 1 . 7/31/2010
Amazing, purely amazing.
Please, if you find time, update this. I can't get enough.
| Knight Moon chapter 2 . 3/19/2010
Please update soon!
| Stephy825 chapter 2 . 3/5/2010
Not bad at all and I like the plot so far.
I just finished Time Hollow this morning. Again. And I can say, this story can follow up nicely after the epilogue.
Sox can talk? Now where did that come from? I read his explanation but, I feel like I'm as lost as Ethan is.
Please make another chapter soon! This one's got me really interested.
| SilverIceRing chapter 2 . 12/26/2009
Wow... This is really complicated... Then again, so was the game to some degree. Hope you update sometime soon!
| mistedmoon22 chapter 1 . 8/20/2009
it was very good.
| Narastar chapter 1 . 8/4/2009
It's actually really nice to see how Ethan's reacting without the power of the pen to pull him through his problems - the Kori HE knew is the one thing he probably thinks he'll never get back, and with the fact that he had feelings for her, it's no surprise that he's going straight to an attempt to cope with loss. He can't act as detached as he usually does because he thinks there's no solution - and there probably isn't one he could directly pull off. Humanizing him once he's no longer reliant on that is a good thing, make no mistake.
His father doesn't seem to understand this, which does not reflect on his intelligence(emotional or otherwise) well in the least. On the other hand, he *does* understand what the Pen's power does to a person intimately, which shines through in his conversation with Ethan if you start reading the subtext.
With how badly Ethan's most tangible failure weighs on his mind, I'm surprised he didn't immediately ask Sox if pulling strings to keep both himself and his Kori alive during Irving.2's assault was possible or not in the second chapter - the cat's obviously more in the know than Timothy or himself. Given how he's avoiding the current-day Kori *because* of the guilt he's getting from it, it's somewhat of a priority when exposed to elements that may or may not have more abilities than what he has.
It's interesting to see how you're handling the characters, which is usually far more important than where the plot's heading for me.
Of course, given the game's short nature, I wouldn't be surprised if you've let this one hang on its own - I'd still like to see an update if you still haven't left it for dead.
| Specter Von Baren chapter 1 . 7/29/2009
Woah! Very nice! It brought up allot of the issues I myself had dwelled on in the game, like how people didn't trust him when the chips were down. I look forward to more.
| Katsugi chapter 2 . 5/23/2009
Just finished the game and decided to read some time hollow fanfiction. I've read a couple so far and well you seemed to be doing a pretty good job.
It would be nice if you were to finish. I hope you continue writing.
| Smart Aleckette chapter 1 . 5/23/2009
This is the first Time Hollow fic I've ever read, and I have to say, I'm impressed. It's very well written, with very little grammatical issues, and the plot seems very original (even though there are only about eight fics in this fandom. . . XD)
Anyway, I do have one issue with this fic. In the first chapter, when you referred to Ethan's parents, you called them "mom" and "dad." If you were saying "his mom" or "his dad," this would be correct; however, if you're just calling them "mom," it needs to be capitalized because it is, in a sense, a name, and names have to be capitalized.
Other than this, though, it was really good. -puts it on the alert list-

Men's Tennis: Irish to start ITA All-American Championships
Aaron Sant-Miller | Friday, September 27, 2013
Beginning this weekend and continuing through the end of next week, four Notre Dame players will compete in the ITA All-American Championships.
On Saturday and Sunday, the athletes will compete in a series of prequalifying matches. On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday the ITA All-American Championships will continue with the qualifying events. Starting next Thursday, the top performers and top-ranked players will compete in the main event, which will conclude Oct. 6.
"It's a pretty unique tournament," Irish coach Ryan Sachire said. "I make the analogy that it's like the US Open for golf, where virtually anybody can play and anybody can win it."
On Saturday, sophomore Eric Schnurrenburger and senior Ryan Bandy will compete in the prequalifying round. If they win all four weekend events, they will advance to the qualifying round, where sophomore Quentin Monaghan, who placed into the qualifying round due to his top-100 national ranking, would join them.
The winners of the three qualifying rounds will join senior Greg Andrews on Thursday in the main event with a shot at winning it all. Andrews was able to place into the main event due to his No. 31 national ranking.
"This isn't really a team event; it's purely individual-based," Sachire said. "Each guy goes in and plays his own tournament. Realistically, the better our individual players do, the better our team is going to be, as it gives our players confidence and makes them better."
Sachire said there are specific things the coaching staff is looking for out of these four players.
"In this case, we're looking for consistency of performance," he said. "All of them have shown, throughout their careers, the ability to win big matches and beat some of the best players in the country. Our season is a marathon; it's not a sprint. Honestly, more than anything, we want them to continue their development and continue to improve on their consistency."
Though their season officially kicked off Sept. 13, Notre Dame continues to make changes to its staff. On Wednesday, the team announced the addition of volunteer assistant coach Cris James to the coaching staff. The former Illinois State head coach earned recognition as the Missouri Valley Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading the Redbirds to the regular-season conference championship.
"The thought and logic behind the move is pretty simple," Sachire said. "[James] is one of the best coaches in the country. He is a coach that I've always had a great relationship with personally, and I think the world of him professionally. His role for us will be just like mine and that of [assistant coach Adam Schaechterle]: he's a coach."
For Sachire, the move not only brings in a talented coach but also one who can complement those already on staff and help the team achieve its goals.
"My mindset in assembling our staff is to bring in the best coaches possible," Sachire said. "There isn't a whole lot of ego in our room as far as title or anything like that. We all respect each other and have the same goal in mind, which is to elevate our program and one day win a national championship.
"Certainly, we believe in each other, we feel like we can help each other and we believe each of us adds elements to the program that help us get there."
The prequalifying round of the ITA All-American Championships will begin Saturday and continue through Oct. 6 in Tulsa, Okla.

Mortarboards and Luxury Items
A couple of assignments for the Chronicle of Higher Education came through in February. The one above concerned tenured professorships in some capacity (protecting tenure perhaps?), and the one to the left involved federal funds. One of the better Uncle Sams I'd done in a while (another staple of the editorial illustration cliche playbook, and I've lost track of how many I've done - right up there with cigar chomping fat cats, mortarboard wearing profs, bears, bulls and the perennial favorite, the bag with a money symbol printed on the front). I particularly liked the challenge of drawing someone upside down, I thought I did a rather nice job on Sam's pants.
Had another assignment for Barrons, a publication I've been working with for a year or so now. Love drawing sailboats and water, any excuse will do. This one had to do with navigating rough seas ahead for certain stocks. Fun and challenging trying to fit in a lot of information (and a sailboat and rough seas) into a fairly tight little image area. Kept this one fairly simple despite the busy nature of the composition and it seemed to work ok.
Had an illustration assignment around this time for Christian Home and School. This full page went with a story about making new students feel welcome. One of the rare chances lately where I've been able to draw some children who are actually a little closer in age to my own son.
Did a series of tiny spots for the Wall Street Journal around this time period. These spots were to accompany a story about luxury items and I needed to do one on 'fine art', one on 'sports cars', one on 'homes', and another on 'watches', and then as a last minute addition, they needed a few of these items squeezed together into an 'overview' spot. Alert readers will notice that on the 'fine art' spot, I reuse an illustration that I did for a Sexuality College Textbook that I did back in the beginning of my career (although filtered through the software's 'Van Gogh' cloning tool).
I'd done a similar series of spots for this client before (perhaps more than once), as it seems to be an annual story around tax time for this publication. I don't normally like drawing cars, but for some reason, all the times I've been pressed into service lately in this capacity, I seem to actually like the finished product. Perhaps I'm finally learning how to draw the pesky things.
Here's one of the spots a little bigger to see the detail a little better. Another assignment from this client (which I haven't bothered to include here for reasons that will become clear), was a rather strange one. I was asked to draw a 'family tree' regarding various tv dramas and sitcoms and tracing each of their spinoffs. I was required to include photos from each show, and somehow fit all their branching and overlapping limbs into a rather small spot area. It didn't turn out too bad looking, but really didn't involve a heck of a lot of actual drawing, it was more of a logistical problem solving exercise.
Also around this time got a job for The Far Eastern Economic Review, out of Hong Kong, with another of my favorite (?) subjects to draw - buildings and architecture. This one was about the modernization of certain banks in China. Needed to fit in a horizontal space which made things a bit tricky layout-wise.
In addition, I also had my usual small spot every other monday for the WSJ, a 'dubious health care' column that I've been providing tiny little drawings for a number of years now. This one seemed to be about either temperature checking devices, or looking into your child's ear canal. I can't quite remember now what the exact topic was.
I usually provide a trio of sketches for each article, running the gamut from very conservative scenes involving the product or claim, to some very strange playful takes on the overall topic. This would be a good example of one of the more conservative concepts.

Oscar Poster 2007
For the past few years, I have been drawing a commemorative Academy Award poster for my brother's annual 'Oscar Party' in Chicago, and printing up a nice big copy of it for him to frame. I usually try to include each of the major nominees in all the acting categories, as well as squeezing in a director or two, a documentary if it is well known, and a small nod to the animated features. It is usually a logistical challenge trying to fit everything in, and takes a lot of research, especially on the faces of little known 'supporting actor' nominees. I generally have a lot of fun with these things, and it is nice to keep in practice with my caricature skills, which only occasionally get called upon in my day to day projects.
These posters are available as large quality prints (18 x 20 if I remember correctly), and signed by the artist for a price of $75 each. Click on the image to see a larger, detailed version.
This year, the weather conspired against us and we had to miss my brother's party. Prior to the oscars we had seen: Little Miss Sunshine (which we loved), The Departed , Borat, and Little Children, and after the oscars, we managed to catch up with many of the rest: Babel, Volver, Pursuit of Happyness, Dreamgirls, The Queen, The Devil Wears Prada, Half Nelson, Pan's Labyrinth, The Lives of Others, Letters from Iwo Jima and Inconvenient Truth.

Cat and Mouse Movie
Another experimental movie during some down time from work. Playing around with the animation tools in my Painter software. Most of my previous experiments had been simple loops (animal or person walking), and here I tried to have a character walk from one side of the frame to the other, while another character interacts. Was originally planning on having a whole cat parade walking by, combining the various character designs that I worked up as separate elements, but I eventually either ran out of steam, or some paying work came through and thankfully sidetracked me. I'm still figuring out how to post these animations, so bear with me. (hopefully I can eventually get them a little better quality and bigger size in the future)

I've Been Working on the Railroad
Took in a job in early February from a new client, Westward magazine. Not often I get work from the western side of the country, and with a new client I set about to really knock their socks off, even though drawing trains, planes and automobiles are not my strong suits.
This was to be a homage to those old 'train tourism posters', but the trick was they wanted to show somehow that the track was unfinished. In my original sketch I had the ties all in disarray in the foreground, but the client felt that it looked too confusing and messy, thus the rather abrupt track cutoff that we see here. The upper portion would be covered by the masthead, and the lower quarter would be covered by text, so mostly I was concerned with making the middle third look good. Looking back on it now, I'm not crazy with how I handled the bushes and foliage along the sides of the foreground, but I do like how the colors work. This was a departure for me, as far as technique and materials, I ended up using oil pastels for most of it, but also experimenting a little bit with a few of the 'oil brush' tools in my digital toolbox.
Most of the rest of the workload during these two weeks was provided by the Wall Street Journal. Nothing much of an adventuresome nature as far as concepts, bears, bulls (both pictured above), investor sitting on a pile of money (right), investors shopping at an outdoor market for 'stocks' (conveniently labelled 'stocks' so you don't get confused - pictured below) but the layouts and techniques kept things interesting (as well as the challenge of trying to fit things into certain proscribed image areas).
In addition to the mess of spots for the Journal, I also had another in a long line of 'dubious health care' spot illustrations. This one was one of my favorites, probably for the whole 2007 year (looking back on it from December). Babies are notoriously hard to draw, but I liked how I was able to fit one into a really tiny space and have it work. This article was about fertility drugs. I liked this so much that I ended up using it a couple months later for a self promo postcard.
Also had another fiction black and white illustration for Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. This one concerned a ghost town in an east coast mining town, and the 'detective' in this case was a nun. Had to do a little research on nun's habits for this one (surprising I wasn't already adept at this particular costume considering how many years I've put in working for catholic and jesuit publications)

Greg Jennings: Green Bay Packers Must Be Extremely Cautious with Injured WROctober 23, 2012
Greg Jennings has missed the past three games with a groin injury, and the Green Bay Packers should not allow him back on the field until they are completely certain that he has fully recovered.
Tom Silverstein of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that "Jennings will go through a run test Thursday," and the results of this will determine his status for Friday's practice and Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jennings has dealt with this injury for the majority of the season, missing the Packers' Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears before aggravating his groin again during a Week 4 matchup with the New Orleans Saints.
The team must not risk having Jennings re-injure himself again, and needs to ensure that he has completed the rehabilitation process in its entirety before allowing him to put on pads again.
Right now, the Packers have the luxury of being able to keep one of their most potent offensive weapons on the sidelines and still have success.
Aaron Rodgers has had his two best performances of the season in the past two weeks despite Jennings' absence. The reigning MVP has nine touchdowns and no interceptions in his last two games, in addition to posting passer ratings above 130 in both outings.
The other receivers have also been tremendous in Jennings' absence. Jordy Nelson has been the star, with 243 yards and four touchdowns in the past two games.
In addition, James Jones had three consecutive two-touchdown performances, starting with the Packers' game against New Orleans which Jennings was unable to finish. Lastly, Randall Cobb has had three consecutive games in which he has had at least 80 receiving yards, and all three of his touchdown receptions have come in these contests.
Rodgers and the offense has been so successful, that Silverstein refers to Jennings' role in the offense going forward as "uncertain." That is a shocking development for a player who has made consecutive Pro Bowls.
Ultimately, Jennings is a versatile wide receiver who can line up anywhere on the field and be effective. He is a perfectionist as a route-runner in addition to having excellent hands and incredible chemistry with Rodgers.
He will be an integral part of the team's offensive game plan when he returns, but for now, the team can certainly win without him. The Green Bay offense is firing on all cylinders and is going up against a Jacksonville defense that ranks 28th in yards allowed per game.
If there is any shred of doubt about his health at any point this week, the Packers should keep Jennings on the sidelines.

Yesterday's not-too-surprising announcement that Terrelle Pryor's career at Ohio State was over instantly led me to two thoughts: 1) Well, that's good news for the Buckeyes – he doesn't have to talk to the NCAA and 2) How big of a bust was this guy? You can read eulogies to Pryor's career in the Plain Dealer, News Herald, the Daily, and Dispatch.
I'll attempt to explore whether or not he was a bust. Here is how Rivals ranked the Top 10 players in the Class of 2008 (below is their current status)
#1 Terrelle Pryor, QB, Jeannette, PA, Jeannette High School ….. Ohio St.
– Impressive 31-4 record, beat Michigan three times, was MVP in two bowl wins
#2 DaQuan Bowers, DE, Bamberg, SC, Bamberg-Ehrhardt High School ….. Clemson
– Was the 51st pick in the 2011 NFL draft (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
#3 Mike Adams, OL, Dublin, OH, Coffman High School ….. Ohio St.
– Has had a rough career – an arrest for drug paraphernalia and he's part of the group that is suspended for the first five games of next season
#4 Julio Jones, WR, Foley, AL, Foley High School ….. Alabama
– Was the 6th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft (Atlanta Falcons)
#5 Patrick Johnson, DB, Pompano Beach, FL, Blanche Ely High School ….. LSU
– Changed his last name to Peterson; was the 5th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft (Arizona Cardinals)
#6 Darrell Scott, RB, Ventura, CA, St. Bonaventure High School ….. Colorado
– The consensus No. 1 RB in the class of 2008 was a bust at Colorado, so he transferred to South Florida
#7 Marcus Forston, DT, Miami, FL, Northwestern High School ….. Miami (FL)
– Played and was effective as a freshman, but he missed the entire 2009 season due to an ankle injury. He bounced back last year, and will be a junior next season
#8 Baker Steinkuhler, OL, Lincoln, NE, Lincoln Southwest High School ….. Nebraska
– Impressive defensive lineman ended last season on a bad note – he was suspended for Nebraska's bowl game due to a DUI
#9 A.J. Green, WR, Summerville, SC, Summerville High School ….. Georgia
– Was the 4th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft (Cincinnati Bengals)
#10 Will Hill, ATH, Jersey City, NJ, St. Peter's Prep School ….. Florida
– Entered the NFL draft a year early and was not selected. Was recently arrested
It's not every year that Rivals ranks a QB No. 1 coming out of high school. So I just looked at the highest-rated QB coming out of high school since 2002:
Matt Barkley, 5th overall in 2009 (great as a freshman, good as a sophomore, and probably leaves after this year and goes in the Top 20 in the draft)
Jimmy Clausen, 1st overall in 2007 (currently battling for QB1 spot in Carolina; was drafted 48th overall in 2010 after a good but not great career at Notre Dame)
Matt Stafford, 6th overall in 2006 (very good career at Georgia; 1st overall pick in 2008 of the Lions but has battled injuries)
Mark Sanchez, 7th overall in 2005 (decent, though short career at USC; 1st round draft pick of the Jets in 2009 and has been to the AFC title game two years in a row)
Rhett Bomar, 4th overall in 2004 (college career never got off the ground at Oklahoma, transferred to Sam Houston State, drafted in the 5th round in 2009 by the Giants)
Kyle Wright, 5th overall in 2003 (college career never amount to anything; wasn't drafted)
Vince Young, 1st overall 2002 (currently an NFL free agent; uneven career looks headed for the toilet after a brilliant college career at Texas)
Because Pryor won so many games – including two bowl games – he probably won't go down as a massive bust. But when you add in the hype surrounding his recruitment, and the fact that he will be forever linked to getting Jim Tressel fired (others were too; he's just the most prominent guy), and that Ohio State could get hit hard by the NCAA, I think his college career has got to be labeled a bust.

2010 Calvin Women's Soccer Preview
Saturday, August 21, 2010
2010 Calvin Women's Soccer Schedule
Only one team in MIAA history has claimed six consecutive league titles in women's soccer. Calvin is hoping to become the second. Calvin women's soccer coach Mark Recker realized that reaching that goal will not be easy however.
"Our league continues to add quality and balance," said Recker. "There are several teams that are capable of making a run at the league title. We've seen that first hand over the past few years. Our goal is always to win the league title but we realize that everyone else in our league has the same goal."
Calvin's current streak of five league titles began with a co-championship with Hope in 2005. The Knights have since won four consecutive outright regular season crowns. Only the six-year run by Kalamazoo from 1989-to-1994 is better.
Calvin captured the 2009 MIAA regular season title by finishing one win ahead of runner-up Adrian and just two games of Alma and Kalamazoo. In the semifinals of the MIAA Tournament, Calvin tied Kalamazoo 0-0 but did not advance, falling in a penalty kick shootout to the Hornets. Kalamazoo then fell in the MIAA Tournament finals to Albion in yet another shootout.
"There is no one in the league that you can take for granted," said Recker. "The conference (regular) season is only eight games and that requires concentration and effort against each league opponent."
Calvin will lean on the experience of five seniors in forwards Carly Prins (Hudsonville/Unity Christian HS) and Stephanie Malburg (Grand Rapids/Forest Hills Northern HS), midfielder Elaine Schnabel (Chesterton, IN/Chesterton HS) and defensive backs Lauren Heyboer (Kalamazoo/Kalamazoo Christian HS) and Kellie Honderd (Hudsonville/Unity Christian HS).
A three-time first team All-MIAA selection and a first team All-Central Region choice in 2009, Prins led Calvin in scoring last year with 24 points on the strength of nine goals and six assists. Four of her goals came during Calvin's four-game run to the NCAA III Quarterfinals. Heading into her senior campaign, she has career totals of 27 goals, 14 assists and 68 points. Nine of her career goals have been game-winners. Prins is also a two-time member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll.
Malburg has been a strong reserve for the Knights during her career, tallying three goals and four assists. She assisted on the game-winning goal in a late-season victory at Adrian last fall that clinched a share of the MIAA regualr season crown for the Knights.
A three-time member of the MIAA Academic Honor Roll and a 2009 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District choice, Schabel has been a sparkplug as a midfielder for Calvin. Despite battling through a late-season injury last year, she managed to record seven goals and two assists. One of her goals came in a 2-1 upset victory over Augustana in the NCAA III Tournament that proved to be the game-winner.
Heyboer appeared and started in 22 games in 2009 as a central defender. She also displayed an offensive touch with a team-leading eight assists. Heyboer was also a member of the 2009-10 MIAA Academic Honor Roll. A member of the 2009 All-MIAA second team,
Honderd has played primarily on defense during her career but has also been used in an attacking role, collecting seven goals and five assists during her career. She has also received MIAA Academic Honor Roll accolades once during her career.
Calvin's junior class includes Kim Schmitikons (Baldwinsville, NY/Faith Heritage) and Kara Zondervan (Lakewood, CA/Valley Christian HS). Both individuals scored a goal in 2009. Schmitikons was a member of the 2009-10 MIAA Academic Honor Roll.
Returning letterwinners in the sophomore class include midfielder Taylor Libolt (Chino, CA/Ontario Christian HS) and midfielders, Francesca Smith (Bloomington, IN/Bloomington South HS), Jillian Honderd (Hudsonville/Unity Christian HS) and Sarah Bowden (Uxbridge, MA/Whitinsville Christian HS).
Smith was a full-time starter in midfield as a freshman, collecting three goals and five assists. Bowden saw time in the starting lineup in 2009. Honderd had five goals and two assists including both goals in a 2-0 victory over rival Hope in late October. Bowden was a threat for the Knights both on defense and in the midfield. Libolt appeared in just two games before suffering a season-ending injury.
The Knights will also welcome in a large freshman class with several individuals expected to challenge for value added participation. A starting goalkeeper will come from Calvin's incoming class of first-year players.
In order to prepare for its league campaign, Calvin has loaded up with a beefy non-conference schedule that includes four teams that were ranked in the final Top 25 National Soccer Coaches Association Division III poll. The Knights will face (#2) Washington University of St. Louis on September 3, (#12) Wheaton (IL) on September 11, (#22) Chicago on September 15 and (#9) Augustana on September 18. In addition, Calvin will face challenges from regional Division III powers in UW-Eau Claire (September 4), DePauw (September 10) and Ohio Wesleyan (September 25). The Knights will also face instate NAIA foes Aquinas (September 1) and Madonna (September 8).
Calvin's conference schedule begins on September 29 when it hosts Saint Mary's (IN). The MIAA Tournament is scheduled to begin on October 30 and will conclude with the MIAA Tournament Championship game on November 6. The winner of the MIAA Tournament will receive the league's automatic bid to the NCAA III Tournament.
Calvin will also be seeking to build on its team academic success from a year ago when the Knights received the MIAA's Team GPA Award for posting a cumulative team grade point average of 3.30 or above. The Team GPA Award marked the fourth time that the Knights earned the award in women's soccer.

Meet Tony
"I'm running for Governor because I've always believed that what's best for kids is what's best for our community. We need real change here in Wisconsin. We must invest in our schools, grow the economy, and rebuild the middle class"
I've been an educator my entire adult life. Some of the most meaningful moments in my life happened in the classroom. I met my wife Kathy in Mrs. Potter's kindergarten class in my hometown of Plymouth, Wisconsin. My first job was teaching science in Baraboo. Before becoming State Superintendent, I was a high school principal in Tomah, and I ran school districts in Oakfield and Verona. As Superintendent, I've worked to ensure every child in Wisconsin can get a world class education by creating a public school system that is fair for all.
I'm not only an educator – I'm also a parent. My three kids attended public schools in communities around the state. No matter where the Evers family ended up, we were welcomed by the community. That culture of acceptance is part of what makes Wisconsin special. It's also something that's been missing from our state the last seven years.
I believe that we are stronger when we look out for each other. I've been elected State Superintendent three times by a coalition of Democrats, independents, and Republicans because I know how to treat my political opponents with respect without sacrificing my progressive values. I've worked across party lines to get things done for our kids. As governor, I will use these skills to end the divisiveness that has consumed our state since Scott Walker became governor.
I'm running for governor because I believe what's best for kids is best for our state. We must invest in our schools, grow the economy and rebuild the middle class. Since Scott Walker became governor, we haven't been investing enough in our kids. We haven't been investing in our future. I've watched voters in over half the school districts in Wisconsin vote to raise their own taxes because our governor and state Legislature have failed to provide for our public schools. We can do better.
I'm committed to creating an economy that works for everybody. That means investing to develop the skilled workforce we need to attract new industries and good-paying jobs to Wisconsin. That means working with companies that fulfill their promises and pay their employees a family-supporting wage. That means expanding access to quality healthcare, while lowering cost and making sure we don't return to the days when getting sick meant going bankrupt.
As governor, I will focus on solving problems, not starting fights. I've spent most of the last decade running an organization of 400 people, with responsibility over 70,000 educators and 860,000 students throughout the state. I am ready to be Governor on day one. I would appreciate your support.

text: I think this was a dumb question, to begin with. The questioner may have had her facts wrong—did not sound right to me—and the question was vague and unfocused. Was she trying to get Miss Utah to say that society is biased against women, in paying them less than men? Did she mean that many men can't find jobs? What about the fact that many women prefer to be home with their children, and therefore take less demanding jobs, more part-time jobs, and more time off to raise children? The feminists don't like to think about those factors. Well, let's hope this beautiful woman will get more education.

Diverse is the best way to describe the art and culture in Christchurch and Canterbury.
You can indulge your own artistic and cultural passions local-style, or challenge your tastes and experience with something outside of your usual leanings. Either way, we hope what you see and experience in our region has you heading home wowed and inspired.
Art & galleries
Canterbury has a wealth of artistic talent proudly on show in galleries and artisan workshops throughout the region. Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna O Waiwhetu in the heart of Christchurch is home to one of New Zealand's most important public art collections. Offering free daily guided tours with knowledgeable guides and an extensive exhibition calendar, it is certainly worth the visit when in Christchurch. CoCA has been showcasing contemporary art since 1980 to provoke new thinking and conversations in a rapidly changing world. Located down Gloucester Street in Christchurch the gallery is free to enter and is a must-see for lovers of contemporary art. Timaru's Aigantighe Art Gallery is a must-visit for art aficionados, embracing unusual and original pieces, with dynamic programmes, and works from renowned New Zealand artists Goldie and McCahon. Take time to discover the creativity nestled in our regional towns. The Little River Gallery at the gateway to Banks Peninsula is a great example - a contemporary space showcasing emerging local talent.
Have some fun poking around Canterbury's markets for unique art and crafts – from paintings, to sculptures, pottery, woodwork, jewellery, clothing and wool craft. On Sunday from 9am-2pm, visit the Riccarton Market, the South Island's largest outdoor market with more than 300 stalls selling just about everything you can think of, rain or shine! Or check out the creative flair at the Riccarton House & Bush Farmers Market (every Saturday 9am-1pm), and pick up a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your Canterbury stay.
Music & entertainment
There's a vibrant performing arts scene in Canterbury. Take in a show at New Zealand's foremost theatre company, The Court Theatre, in its new home in Addington. Their annual summer musicals are , or revel in a moving performance by the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. If you're after an evening of contemporary music and a humming atmosphere, Blue Smoke has a fantastic line-up of local, national and international acts.
Christchurch festivals
Christchurch loves to host festivals. Several iconic events are held here each year, with a distinct party atmosphere taking over the city. Time your trip to join in on the infectious fun and festivities.
- World Buskers Festival - January
- Lansdown Summer Opera and Melodrama Festival - February / March
- Christchurch Lantern Festival - March
- New Zealand Jazz & Blues Festival - April
- Christchurch Arts Festival - biennial - August / September
- Body Festival - September / October
- Antarctic Season Opening Festival – October
- Festival of Transitional Architecture - October
- New Zealand Cup and Show Week - November
Māori culture
If you think the Māori haka is powerful before a New Zealand All Blacks rugby game, wait until you experience it in real life at Christchurch's Ko Tāne Living Māori Village at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve. In an interactive experience, you'll be introduced to the traditions and history of our indigenous Māori people. And your taste buds will sing with the flavours of a Māori hangi dinner – New Zealand seafood, meat, poultry and vegetables cooked in a traditional earth oven.
Sporting culture
Cantabrians love their sports – so if you want a real local cultural experience, dress up in red and black, and cheer along the home rugby team, the Crusaders at the Christchurch Stadium in Addington. If you're a golf fan, our international courses host major tournaments that make for great spectator viewing, or come and enjoy the thrill and fun of horseracing at Addington Raceway. Giddy up!

17 DPO NO AF Please HELP!!!
So my cycles are very very regular and always have been, and I am now 3 days late. I took a test earlier this evening and it was negative. I guess my question is, Is it possible to still test negative 3 days after the first day of the missed period?
7 Replies • 5 years ago
You might be!! Some women dont make enough hCG at the normal time range. Ok, like some women might have 25 mIu three days after missed period and some might have 10 mIu. And if you have 10 mIu and your using a 25 mIu its gonna show negative even though you are. Wait a week and test again with first morning urine and if still no period and no positive call your doctor. Good luck and baby dust! FMU is very important because since you arent drinking while you are sleeping your urine will be more concentrated. Im not going to suggest a test because all prgnancy tests have there duds. But yes you can very well be pregnant especially if you missed your period.

I'm in same situation, negative hpt last night, am now 3 days late, never been late in my life before, didn't think i would get a bfp this month as bf was on holiday - so dates were only a slight possible. Been feeling pretty odd last couple of days, positive af was arriving since wednesday, but so far no show, today feel headachy and generally off colour/queasy. Don't really know what to think. Will wait few more days and try another hpt.

Hello (Sorry May be too long),
I don't post that much but I read almost all forum topics. Here's a little background about me. I'm Anne from the Philippines, I got 2 sons (5 and 2). We're not ttc but we're on calendar method. We're still aiming for a girl soon. So here's my thought. Sorry if I may be out of topic but I;m not really that familiar with this site yet but I found every forums I've read interesting and all the girls from these posts friendly. So here it is, Last May I was prescribed provera by my OB coz AF did not arrive april and early may which is my expected date. All HPT's are bfn's. May 27 7 days after provera AF arrived. We're not actively TTC but we're not using any contraceptives so if we do conceived he/she will be welcome. We're hoping for a girl coz we already have 2 sons. Because of the forums I've read I think the idea of getting pregnant made me excited this month. I'm on 13 DPO now. Is there a possibility that I may be pregnant? Here are my symptoms: On/ off Sore nipples and the area around my underarms, mild cramps on my lower abdomen, excessive sweating (coz i feel hot inside), tingling sensations on my arms and legs every morning, bloated, sometimes nausea and a bunch of others that are also part of PMS. I've always been regular except during april and may when I had to take provera last may 2012 before I got AF. I also felt the symptoms mentioned above those months which is why I kept testing but all BFN's. Is it still possible that I could be pregnant? Could I test as early as today? If I get a BFP I Would be very happy and will be very glad to have a girl. I hope I'd be able to have someone or more to talk to here coz I don't have anyone else to talk to at home.
Praying for more BFP's to all women here.

City Council makes Hale-uva decision
Published 4:54 pm, Tuesday, March 10, 2015
Opening up Tuesday's City Council meeting, Plainview was recognized for their runner-up finish in the 2014 Tnemec "Tank of the Year" contest.
Plainview's two new water tanks placed in the top-12 in the nationwide contest which featured over 200 submissions.
Since 2006, Tnemec, a company that produces protective paint for water towers, said they have celebrated the innovative and creative uses of its coats on water tanks with their annual Tank of the Year contest.
Votes from the community determine a People's Choice tank and eleven runner-ups, which are featured in the Tnemec's annual water tank calendar.
On Tuesday, representatives for the company presented the City Council with an award, marking their accomplishment,and a box full of calendars, where Plainview's tank is featured as the October tank.
In the consent agenda, the City Council unanimously voted to pass a resolution granting the Hale-uva Duathlon Committee permission to host their event on April 25.
The event will feature a 5K run, a 21-mile bike ride and another 5K run that will span though south Plainview. The Hale-uva event will benefit the Crisis Center of the Plains organization. The event will start on Southwest 20th Street and run along the south side streets including Ash and Broadway. The request by the committee was to allow for right-a-ways for the run.
Also in the consent agenda, council member approved to grant the Cromintin seed company a variance for buildings laying in the City's right-of-way. According to assistant city manager Andrew Freeman, Crominten, which purchased the Production Plus company in 2014, surveyed their property and realized that four of their buildings and two storage tanks were in the City's right-of-way. However the overlap is meniscal, as most buildings are just feet into the right-of-way. The most is only 10 feet in the right-of-way.
The City will vote to grant the variance, which will carry a one-time fee of $250 and a $20 filing fee. The fee is usually once a year, but the City has waved the fee in the efforts of promoting economic development.
In business agenda items, the city awarded bids for three quarter-ton pickups with utility bodies.
The city has budgeted $32,000 for each truck, which carried over from its last budget.
One of the trucks will be used in the vector weed mowing department. The new 2015 vehicle will replace a 2003 model quarter-ton utility truck. Its current mileage is marked at 66,264, however the city said the odometer had been broken for some time, but is now functional. The department will use this weed truck to transport a gooseneck trailer that will carry equipment to clean and haul debris from city rights-of-way and lots.
The second truck will be used by the parks department, and will replace a 2003 truck with 90,000 miles on the odometer. This truck will be used to transport heavy equipment trailers, trenchers/backhoes, tree transplanters and mower trailers.
The water and sewer maintenance department will use the third truck which will replace a current 2003 truck with 145,064 miles on the odometer.
The truck will pull a sewer vacuum trailer that cleans sewer lines and debris from manholes and water leak repair sites.
The lowest bid for the trucks was made by Randal Reed Prestige Ford in Garland, which bide each vehicle at $25,000 or $78,880 total.
The trucks that will be replaced will soon be put up for auction at www.renebates.com. However, one of the three trucks, a 2003 pickup, will be utilized by the fire department, and they will put up for auction a 1991 pickup they use for their department.
Closing the meeting, the Council unanimously approved to amend the authorizing representative of local government investment pool, TexPool.
The resolution will change authorizing signatures from former City Manager Greg Ingram to current manager Jeff Snyder.

Problem with 3D drawing.
I'm currently working on an Applet with which you can rotate a cube and other shapes.
Everything is going fine, but I have one problem: the order in which you draw each face.
I'm currently using the painter's algorithm, but - as expected - it doesn't work properly. I have read articles and tutorials about BSP-tree's, but I don't really understand them. Also, They seem to work only with a static world, which I don't want. :\
My question: Could anyone explain BSP-tree's to me, with an example, or give me a link to a decent, detailed BSP-tree tutorial. Also, does anyone know what method is best for a non-static world and eventually also for a static one?
Please help me,

Ronnie Whelan expects Liverpool to bring the Premier League title back to Anfield
Liverpool legend Ronnie Whelan is confident his former club will see off Manchester City and Chelsea to win the league.
By Daniel Walters
Last Updated: 08/04/14 12:38pm
Liverpool face Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday knowing a win would put them firmly in the driving seat towards their first Premier League crown.
Brendan Rodgers' side currently lead the table by two points from Chelsea, with City - who have two games in hand - a further two points adrift.
Whelan, who scored 46 goals in 362 appearances for the Reds between 1979-1994, said: "Nine games ago we wouldn't have said we would win nine games on the trot but now there are only five more to go.
"I know it will be a record, winning 14 in a row, but the team are playing well enough at the moment to do it."
Rodgers has overseen a huge change in fortunes for the club from their lowly seventh-placed finish last season.
Whelan believes Liverpool's irresistible form of late gives them the best chance of any of their rivals to claim their 19th league crown - their first since he was part of the team which last lifted the title back in 1990.
"You cannot fault anything they are doing, they are going out and winning game after game and doing it well," he said.
"The energy they are showing at the end of the season always gives you a chance in the last five games. The energy seems to be more than Chelsea and Manchester City and the other teams."
The Anfield legend was speaking ahead of the Celebration Of The 96 Charity Match due to take place on April 21 in aid of the Hillsborough Family Support Group and Liverpool FC Foundation.
Whelan will be representing the UK & Ireland team, managed by fellow Anfield great Kenny Dalglish, while the Rest of the World will be coached by former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier.
"There is so much excitement among the players. To get all these players back together should be a great occasion," he added.
"It will get serious - Kenny always get serious. He'll be on the touchline shouting and I'll be thinking 'I'm 52 years of age, leave me alone!"
