Tips for Success
The best way to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is early, online and without any mistakes
Apply Early
Many states and colleges use the FAFSA to determine eligibility for federal, state, and institutional student aid funds that may have early deadlines and/or limited funding. The sooner you complete the FAFSA the more aid you could be eligible to receive. Completing your taxes early will help you get a jump on the FAFSA, but you don't need to complete your taxes to apply for federal student aid. You can use data from the previous tax year to estimate figures needed to complete the FAFSA, but you'll need to correct these figures on the form later by going to the corrections page on the FAFSA website. If you know you will be late filing your taxes, it is better to complete your FAFSA with estimated information than to wait until your taxes have been filed.
Apply online
FAFSA on the Web (FOTW) is easier to complete because it uses skip-logic to only ask relevant questions. In addition, FOTW will be processed faster and will likely be more accurate because the FAFSA website is designed to catch common errors. The U.S. Department of Education provides a Pre-Application Worksheet that will help you collect and proofread information for your application before you submit it. You can also save and continue the FAFSA at any time online and sign your application electronically using a Federal Student Aid Identification number (FSA ID#) available on the Federal Student Aid ID website.
Use IRS Data Retrieval
When you apply online, you will be given the option to retrieve your IRS data to automatically populate the FAFSA. This option simplifies the application process, helps reduce errors, and may lower your chances of being selected to verify the information on your FAFSA. To take advantage of this feature, you'll need to complete your taxes first. It will take roughly two weeks for your taxes to be processed. After this time, you should be able to retrieve this information to automatically populate the corresponding questions on the FAFSA.
Avoid Common Errors
Mistakes can delay your application and limit the amount of aid you are eligible to receive. To avoid errors, carefully read all questions on the FAFSA. Some of the most common FAFSA errors are:
- Leaving blank fields: Too many blanks may cause miscalculations and an application rejection. Enter a '0' or 'not applicable' instead of leaving a blank.
- Using commas or decimal points in numeric fields: Always round to the nearest dollar.
- Listing an incorrect Social Security Number or driver's license number: Double-check and triple-check these entries to ensure accuracy. If your parents do not have Social Security Numbers, list 000-00-0000. Do not make up a number or include a Taxpayer Identification Number.
- Failing to use your legal name: Your name must be listed on your FAFSA as it appears on your Social Security card. Don't enter nicknames or other variations on your name.
- Entering the wrong address: Don't enter a temporary campus or summer address as your permanent address.
- Entering the wrong federal income tax paid amount: This amount is on your income tax return forms, not your W form(s). If you haven't filed your taxes, you can estimate this amount using previous tax year information. Once the income tax amount is determined you may correct the amounts on the corrections page of the FAFSA website.
- Listing Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) as equal to total income from working: AGI and total income from working are not necessarily the same. In most cases, the AGI is larger than the total income from working.
- Incorrectly filing income taxes as head of household: If there is an error in the head of household filing status, the school will need an amended tax return to be filed with the IRS before paying out aid awards.
- Listing marital status incorrectly: The Department of Education wants to know your marital status on the day you sign the FAFSA.
- Listing parent marital status incorrectly: If your custodial parent has remarried, you'll need the stepparent's information as well.
- Failure to report unborn children: If you have a child that will be born before or during the award year and you will provide the child with more than half of his or her support, count that child as a member of the household.
- Failing to count yourself as a student: The student completing the FAFSA must count himself or herself as a member of the household attending college during the award year.
- Failing to register with Selective Service: If you are a male, aged 18 to 26, you must register with Selective Service. Failure to register will make you ineligible for federal student aid.
- Forgetting to list the college: Obtain the Federal School Code for the college you plan on attending and list it along with any other schools you've applied to attend.
- Forgetting to sign and date: If you're filling out the paper FAFSA, be sure to sign it. If you're filing online, be sure to obtain your FSA ID# available at the Federal Student Aid ID website. Your FSA ID# is your electronic signature. If you apply online, you can also print the signature page, sign it, and send it in.
- Sending in a copy of your income tax returns: You do not need to include a copy of your tax returns with your FAFSA. Any information sent with your FAFSA will be destroyed. In addition, do not write any notes in the margins of your FAFSA.
What you need to complete the FAFSA
- Social Security Number (can be found on Social Security card)
- Driver's license (if any)
- W-2 Forms for the previous year and other records of money earned
- Most recent Federal Income Tax Return – IRS Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, foreign tax return
- Records of child support paid (if applicable)
- Records of taxable earnings from federal work-study or other need-based work programs
- Records of any grants, scholarships, and fellowship aid that was included in your or your parents' adjusted gross income (AGI)
- Current bank statements
- Current business and investment mortgage information, business and farm records, stock, bond, and other investment records
- Documentation of U.S. permanent residency or other eligible non-citizen status

Keira Knightley's New Chanel Ads... and Movie
Keira Knightley's New Chanel Ads... and Movie
Keira Knightley's New Chanel Ads... and Movie
I just found some new Chanel ads starring Keira Knightley, and if she isn't the perfect modern-day face of Chanel, I don't know who would do it better!
I know that you're split on whether she's a more fitting model for Coco Mademoiselle than Kate Moss was, but you've got to admit, the girl looks amazing here. I love the soft pink lip, which makes her look very appropriate for this legendary design house, n'est-ce pas?
If the print ads inspire you, just wait—there's more coming soon! Iconique reports:
Keira Knightley will star as Coco Mademoiselle in a new PR movie for the Chanel perfume. The British actress, dressed in a red chiffon dress by Karl Lagerfeld, will play a mysterious star in a glamorous movie directed by Joe Wright.
The "PR movie" (read: advertisement that will probably be beautiful nonetheless) is due in September. What do you think of Keira here—is it hats off to her? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

[Intro: ?]
Georgetown was very symbolic and very connected. Not just to "Black D.C." but to "Black America". They were kind of "Black America's" basketball team for a lot, a lot of people. So, when these stories started coming around on the sports ticker that this big drug dealer was hanging out with several of the players, it was big news
[Intro 2: Wale]
This is a place where opportunities few
And niggas feud for land they'll never own
Where they raise hell and waste shells
And duck baby mamas but rarely escape jail
This is the trap... the trap.
[Verse 1: Wale]
Death on my opposition, no
Them watchin' me blow is more than evening the score
And my team has a flow, ambition see the results
And to get to my spirit seeing twitpics of them diplomas, word
Cannot stress it, through God blessings we made it out
For the have-nots that have a knot to have knots
Hats off, we been working our ass off
And we all-stars that made the squad with the cap off
Steinbrenner, designed to make your dynasty weary
Sometimes I'm a dick, but you niggas placenta
And that's the problem, it's a problem, don't dap me my nigga
Just tap me my nigga, then get at me my nigga
Man fuck a dappin' you rappers should get back off the fingers
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Bust a mac and you gangster, that's how them youngins livin'
Shout out that Georgetown Press they still trappin' the district
Blessings we made it out, blessings we made it out
They still trappin' the district
Trust in God and you golden, trust in rap and you empty
Blessings we made it out, blessings we made it out
Shout out that Georgetown Press they still trappin' the district
[Verse 2: Lightshow]
Lil nigga, but I'm Patrick Ewing on these blocks
My mac cold like Dikembe nigga, who need Glocks
These crooked cops keep tryin' steal the ball from me
But 'Le like Kevin Braswell with the rock
600 plus assists, plus this I must'nt miss
Hard work it comes with this? That's why I fuck with this
G set the fuckin' pick, I went straight to the hole
Went to college a day, dropped out went straight for my goals
Now it's dough in my mattress, my bitch look like an actress
Cuz I studied the defense, and I stayed after practice
On my way to the league, only limit the sky
Still I show up to practice, I can't end up A.I
Pay attention or miss it
Shout out to Georgetown but I won't get trapped in the District, nah
[Verse 3: Wale]
Leader of the people who ain't tryna be led
But I'mma get us all back if I can smile all year
I seen bums happy as anyone
Millionaires set for bread
Some be livin' for crumbs
Motherfuckers don't fuck with us I still be showin' love
Cause if I was local and they was on it I'd be naah
Don't trip off what a bitch say, shovel on a good day
All my youngins put up numbers just like Bubbachuck in kente
When we can't hit the league we let the streets mislead and dictate
And there is no I in team, but can you read the eye on Vic's Page
Otto Porter with all the water servin' the corners
Rayful callin' up 'Zo Mourning before the tourney
Servin' drugs, some us don't make it out here
My niggas had some plugs, I gave 'em a better outlet
There's a difference in words: hustle and trappin'
See hustlers find a way out, while the latter can't climb up out it
The trap
[Outro: ?]
Georgetown coach John Thompson made a personal appeal to Edmond to stay away from his players. He built this team into a national power, and now the specter of a D.C. drug dealer in the age of crack, you know, well, that could have destroyed everything
The song "Georgetown Press" has many references to Rayful Edmond and his closeness with the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team. Wale uses that scenario to essentially set up a good vs. evil message. One can be evil and do bad i.e. be a drug dealer, a pimp, a robber or do good. He uses Rayful Edmond as his "evil" and Coach John Thompson as his "good". Both men influenced the Georgetown Hoyas basketball team "the youth/the future generation" in different ways and in the end good prevailed.
Wale uses this past experience to send a message to his listeners in the present not to be fooled by all the "trappers" because they aren't really "making it" at all.

Members of the East Taunton casino opposition group Preserve Taunton's Future are planning a community forum for tonight to discuss an assortment of issues surrounding the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's proposed casino.
Members of the East Taunton casino opposition group Preserve Taunton's Future are planning a community forum for tonight to discuss an assortment of issues surrounding the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe's proposed casino.
"We want to get out all the facts," event organizer Michelle Littlefield said. "We're not here to debate or to say it's good or bad, but to just get out the facts. We welcome the public, any elected officials, any residents, members of the tribe or anyone who wants to learn more about where things stand with proposed casino."
The forum is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Holy Family parish center, 438 Middleboro Ave.
Many in the group insist the tribe's land-in-trust application, which must get federal approval for the casino proposal to move forward, is incomplete. Littlefield said the group will present its research.
"The majority of what's out there in the media for regular people's consumption is mostly spin by the tribe," Littlefield said.
The tribe has said it has submitted all required elements for the land-in-trust application, including a written request, a description of the land and a tribal resolution. The tribe has also said the land-in-trust process is lengthy and ongoing and that additional documentation is being provided along the way as components move from the draft to the final phase.
The Mashpee hope to build a $500 million resort casino on land they have under a purchase agreement in Taunton. Their land-in-trust application, if approved would grant them sovereignty over the parcels.
Many who oppose the proposed tribal casino say a 2009 Supreme Court decision makes it impossible for the federal government to take land in trust for tribe's that weren't under federal jurisdiction prior to the passage of the Indian Reorganization Act in 1934. The Mashpee attained federal recognition in 2007 but insist they qualify for land in trust.
The review period for the draft environmental impact statement, a study the BIA is conducting as part of the land-in-trust process, is underway, with the public comment period ending Friday.

Business Owners Policy: Basic Protection for Multiple Risks
You've worked hard to build your business, and it's important to protect it just as you would your home and your family. Lawsuits, property loss, and business interruptions could affect your bottom line and potentially threaten the future of your company.
One way to prepare for the financial consequences of these types of risks is by purchasing the appropriate business owners policy, which offers protection against multiple risks (up to the policy limits) in a single policy.
Business owners policies commonly offer three basic types of protection:
When comparing policies, make sure you know whether the coverage will pay replacement value or actual value. The premiums are typically higher when insuring for replacement value, but the extra expense could pay for itself if it means getting back to work in a matter of days rather than weeks or months.
It's important to periodically review a business owners policy to help prevent the possibility of becoming underinsured. Reassessing the policy limits may help the coverage keep pace with inflation, company growth, and liability risks and trends specific to the company and/or industry.

hello teachers,
what is your advisce to me for the preparing in order to obtain the CAE
Many Thanks
CAE is an exam that requires thorough preparation in the specific skills that are practised. It's not enough just to be a good user because many of the exercises are tricky in themselves, like the paragraph gap fills. The Reading paper requires reading at high speed in specific ways, so I would recommend exampractice,preferably with feedback from a teacher who has experience of the intricacies of a challenging exam. Once you get into the habit of testing yourself with their questions, youwill start to see the patterns and be aware of the tricks and traps they use. Are you studying alone or in an institution?

Around 1890, an advertising pamphlet or flyer was published by Montgomerie's patented malt extract digestive bread, biscuits and rusks, "as used in the Queen's household." These highly superior biscuits were "Highly recommended by the medical profession and frankly, I am appalled that they are not available on the NHS today, such is their wonderousness. Not surprisingly, people rushed to offer their testimonials to the greatness of this product, not least HRH Princess Christian, who considered all Montgomerie's products to be most excellent. Amongst the illustrious contributors was one Rhoda Milne, of Gotham House, Clarendon Park Road. She wrote to say
I shall feel greatly obliged if you will send me twelve boxes of Malt rusks, for infants. Gregory, your agent here, is out of them, and says he will not have any more for a fortnight. I am entirely without, which is rather a serious matter, as nothing else suits my baby as well. Yours truly, RHODA MILNE.
So who was Rhoda Milne and why was she so desperate for these rusks? Well, she was born Rhoda Stuart in Brighton c1858 and married John Milne, a Lancashire yarn agent, in London in 1885. By 1891 they lived at Gotham House with children Helen (b1886) and John (b1889) – both born in Clarendon Park Road – and two servants. The family stayed there, going on to have another daughter Elizabeth, until some time between 1901 and 1907, when they moved to Ashleigh Road (near Narborough Road). John died in 1907 aged just 49, leaving the sizeable sum of £10, 206. His son John – who by the way was probably the baby in the pamphlet who was greedy for malted rusks – continued the yarn agent and merchant business started by his father. I imagine his mother had received a fee from Montgomerie's for allowing her letter to be published as advertising. I looked for a likely Gregory agent for the rusks but couldn't find anything convincing.
As to Gotham House on Clarendon Park Road – you would hardly know it was ever called that now. There is only the gate post, which has been carved with the name, to show. It's divided up into flats now and a bit run down; a bit of a come-down from being the home of a successful businessman with a family and two or three servants.
I see this gatepost four times a day so I am pleased that I came across the Montgomerie's biscuits advertising leaflet that made me find out a tiny bit about some of the former occupants of the house. If only I could find some of those rusks in the shops today! Regards, Elizabeth.

Few lobbies dedicated to international issues are so active and well-fincanced as the Israel lobby. The question of Israel's future has the right mix to attract monied interests -- it's a highly fractious issue with high stakes and it plays a big role in domestic politics.
A powerful pro-Israel force has carved out an influential place in American campaigns in the form of super PAC megadonor Sheldon Adelson. Adelson doled out a whopping $92.8 million to Republican super PACs in 2012, making him the single highest contributor to outside groups that year.
A national network of political action committees supplies much of the pro-Israel money in American politics. Chief among these donors' goals: To support Israeli policy, especially towards its neighbors. That's the Israel lobby's legacy; the movement to institute a Jewish state began with the political influence of Zionists like Louis Brandeis.
The pro-Israel lobby also works to build stronger bilateral relations and to garner American military and economic support for Israel. The financial relationship between the United States and Israel has become increasingly integrated since the 1985 bilateral Free Trade Agreement, the first FTA ever signed by the United States.
AIPAC is the face of pro-Israel political influence, and it supports a two-state solution. Despite its name, it does not make campaign contributions. But pro-Israel entities spent $3.8 million on lobbying in 2013, and AIPAC accounted for roughtly $3 million of that figure.
Among the more sweeping bills that the pro-Israel lobby backed in 2013 was the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership Act. AIPAC was the signature supporter. The bill would have erased the process of getting an American visa for Israeli citizens. Conversely, the U.S. still has concerns about Israel's practice of scrutinizing Palestinian Americans more thoroughly before allowing them entry.
More money was contributed from pro-Israel groups to federal campaigns in the 2012 election cycle, $16.1 million, than in any prior year.

scorpio symbol tribal tattoo in armScorpion tattoos are often smaller than the size of the fist and placed on the arm and chest in men. These types of tattoos are most popular with men and can include the tattoo being an effective means of increasing the appearance of toughness within the community. After all, there is nothing scarier than a strong insect that can kill with one sting!
There are many pictures on the internet of scorpion tattoos which can be used as inspiration to design a tattoo and these should be taken advantage of when working with a tattoo artist.

My name is Nate Swain. I am going to show you all the places in Boston and surrounding communities that I personally think could use a little polishing, brightening, greening, or softening. Basically places that could use some art, photography, sculpture or better architecture. I am going to be pointing out places you probably never noticed because they are not worth looking at.
These neglected places are everywhere in our landscape. They are areas that all have potential to be something more beautiful but currently fail. I have gone around the entire city taking photographs of the public realm. I have trained my eyes to hunt these spots out. I have figured only about 10% to 15% of Boston is blank ugly. Don't let that number fool you. There are thousands of these drab spaces and places. The square footage is massive. They add up to something blanker and uglier than the sum of their parts. There are little ones and sometimes big ones. They are mostly vertical but sometimes horizontal in nature. They all are not reaching their potential or just seem forgotten about.
I am of the belief that in the public realm we should always show due diligence in design and care. It is a reflection of our culture. If you see half hearted effort in the public realm then it's OK to do the same in all aspects of your life. Have you ever notices the beautiful places are the places where people care the most about. Industrial looks like industrial because it doesn't give a shit about the way it looks.
I am not going to talk about dressing up the industrial sections of Boston because beauty doesn't help the industrial bottom line. Besides I find beauty in some things industrial. I am going to be focusing on residential and commercial areas. I am looking at all the neighborhoods, shopping sections, financial areas, schools, and institutions. I am going to ignore back allies and the private realm. I consider cars and trucks private realm so I am going to remove or modify all automobiles in my photos. I also think cars clutter up the public realm and they are part of the ugliness.
I am going to start the Blank Ugly Boston photo blog in the North End. This is where I happen to live and this is also where I have already done some projects using photography and painting. I am going to circumvent the city in an ever expanding vortex starting on the corner of Prince and Salem Street. It's the location of my first public art project.
I try and follow a philosophy when doing my artwork. My philosophy is:
I try and follow a philosophy when doing my artwork. My philosophy is:
- If you are going to create anything on a blank surface, consider the whole blank surface. No postage stamps.
- No text or numbers of any language. Just use raw imagery.
- Make it as non-narcissistic and non-antagonistic as possible. Make it powerfully subtle.
- Keep people out of the image unless its historical. There are enough real people in the city to look at. We don't need more giant catatonic painted or photographed people to look at.
- Make it easily removable in a matter of minutes or seconds. Also at the same time Non permanent lasting no more than 10-20 years. I use large sheets of sticky vinyl or stretched non-sticky solid or mesh vinyl over the blank surface.
- Ask permission from the property owner or manager to beautify the space. If they say no make note of that decision in a public forum. When people say NO they must be comfortable with that decision before their neighbors and peers.
I know this looks like a lot but it is only about 10% to 15% of the neighborhood. I am not proposing to cover every one of these surfaces with street art or photography. I just want to point them out to start a dialogue.
I want to end by stating that I think the North End and the City of Boston is extremely detailed, beautiful, and exciting.
Here is a link showing beautiful murals throughout the city.
Blank and or boring does not equal ugly.
Ugliness and beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Honestly who cares what I think.
I am about to show you something you probably never noticed before and show you ideas you never thought possible.
I want to know what you think.

Education in Tribal Communities?
- 36 Posts
Indonesia is one of the most populated countries besides that of China, the USA, and India. A big problem challenging the government of Indonesia, notably the Ministry of Education and Culture, is the equality of education. We also must look at the quality and access.
Most of the above problems continue to persist in many tribal communities. The challenge occurs because of some geographical and cultural factors. Geographically, thousands of islands consist of remote areas housed by tribal communities which acts as a barrier to Indonesian Government to spread out the facility and accessibility for education.
Not only is there a geographical factor, but there is also a cultural factor as to why the problem ensues. A primitive tribe lived around the metropolis area which is known as the Badui tribe. The tribe harbors a perspective towards the development of technology and education. They believe that the intervention of these things is odd enough because it will change the local culture and the nature. So the perception will directly obstruct the balance of education although it is needed. Another opinion is the high fee to study for them. The fee directly encourages them to ban their children to take part in education.
Most of the tribal community in Indonesia has the lowest education because of limited access to education brought about by the above factors. Yet, the government of Indonesia attempts to attain an educational program for these communities by providing supporting ways. These pathways include scholarship, voluntary teachers, school facilities, and so forth. However, these ways are not enough to equalize knowledge and experiences of students who live in both city and rural areas.
Some of the private sectors also compete to establish an educational program - based institution. They have voluntarily begun to send and place some of the sophisticated young teachers to educate the targeted tribal communities. Perhaps this strategy is imperative and helpful to tackle the limited access of education for tribe community.
The balanced access for education and the quality of education will be achieved. I am a representative for tribal communities, and in need of your assistance. You are well educated, and we want to be… so what will be your role on education for us all?

Rascal Flatts, 'Changed' – Album Review
The men of Rascal Flatts have talked about how they took a step back and reassessed everything they were before returning to the studio to record 'Changed' in 2011. The result is a project that shows wholesale changes weren't necessary, but 'Tweaked' would have made a lousy album title.
The title-track is the biggest deviation from the stories the trio has told over the last 13 years. 'Changed' is personal, with lyrics that reveal scars and stories Gary LeVox has yet to tell, but his fans will love hearing. "I got off track I made mistakes / Back slid my way into that place / Where souls get lost lines get crossed / And the pain won't go away," he sings on this song of salvation. Overall, the cuts penned by a member of the group stand out above the others.
Aside from 'Banjo,' there's only one other song ('A Little Home') on the standard version of 'Changed' that tackles topics not of the heart. Love songs — or melancholy songs about love's longings — are this band's bread and butter, and there are some new approaches on tracks like the Joe Don Rooney co-written 'Sunrise' and the Jay DeMarcus penned 'Let It Hurt.' The second verse of this dark, brooding ballad is brilliant, and LeVox goes somewhere deep to bring it to life.
Critics of the group will find ammunition in a few songs that rely on repetition. Lines like "It's hot, hot, hot in here," or "She's got a suitcase packed in the trunk, trunk, trunk / She got a see you later song going bump, bump, bump," or "You keep lovin' me, lovin' me, lovin' me, lovin' me, lovin' me baby" look boyband-ish on paper, but with the steady production help of Dan Huff they come off as only mildly hokum. Often that's intentional. Let's admit it, some of Rascal Flatts' sillier songs ('Bob That Head,' 'Me and My Gang') are the highlights of their live shows.
You'll find all three members of the group taking lead vocals on the closing track, 'Let It Home' (although the deluxe version is well worth the money for the pure country fun of 'Friday' and three others). It's true that 'Changed' is the most country project they've released in 10 years, but longtime fans shouldn't be afraid of what they'll hear. The slick production and smooth harmonies are still as much of the group's identity as hair gel.

The Nottingham Ranch - Colorado's Premier Legacy Ranch! Indescribably beautiful mountain vistas! A working cattle ranch approximately 1.25 hours from Vail and 45 minutes from the Vail/Eagle Airport. The offering includes 19,493 deeded acres; over 175 cubic feet per second (cfs) of very senior water rights; extraordinary elk and deer hunting; Bureau of Land management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Service grazing permits on over 50,000 acres. The property is located near Burns, Colorado and spans from Burns, bisected by the Colorado River from the west side of Castle Peak towards the Flat Tops Wilderness Area to the west and sprawls along both sides of Derby Mesa Loop and Sunnyside Road into Routt County. The Flat Tops Wilderness Area is the third largest U.S. Wilderness Area in Colorado. It consists of 235,214 acres in Routt National Forest and in White River National Forest stretching from Dotsero to Meeker, CO. It was designated a wilderness area in 1975. The ranch is a self-sustaining ranch inclusive of 1,200 pair of cattle and calves; over 50,000 acres of leases for grazing permits; 2,000 acres of flood irrigation plus 1,200 acres irrigated by pivot irrigation systems (which is rare in the mountains) and produces 3,500 tons of hay annually. The price includes livestock and equipment as well as seven residences and additional cabins. The land value is extraordinary as most of the ranch is surrounded by the National Forest, Flat Tops Wilderness or BLM property. One of the largest elk herds of Colorado is located in this area and a very successful private hunting outfitter has been based on the ranch for 23 years. This is a remarkable trophy property unlike any other in Colorado. The ranch is a part of Colorado's rich history with hunting, fishing and ranching and so close to the ski resorts of Vail and Steamboat Springs. The Nottingham Ranch truly is Colorado's premier legacy ranch.

Re: 500 things to do in a LD (updated)
Who came up with that licking thing? What a weirdo.
(Oh yea, that was me.)
I also said that all things are edible too. I've been thinking about it, and will do it one day...
I'm going to bite my own fingers off and eat them!
Just for the shock value of it!
(I remember before in the past I had a year long LD goal of tearing my own arm off and I did that... now on to something even more crazy!)
After I lick things...
But just like my Checking Your Pockets suggestion, it was good, but hardly ever do that. I should practice what I preach, and I don't care what others think, I'm going to eat my own fingers just for the heck of it!
(Who else does it or even thinks of it?!)
EDIT: I guess I'm not original after all. Mine is basically the same as #13

Yay, my dream got turned into a dream challenge. I'm so happy. I-I-I need a moment...
Re: 500 things to do in a LD (updated)
As far as super powers go, I've flown like Superman many times (not always lucid). I've dreamt I was Spiderman and The Thing (from the Fantastic Four). It was really cool walking on walls as Spiderman! And as The Thing, I absorbed a blast from a Skrull laser cannon.

Yeah, you are responsible for that one being there. Now everyone will be licking carpet and boots cause of you

or something like "eat a car" could be added to the list. That would be challenging, imagine burping up the car seats! lol
Eat your fingers does sound more daring. Maybe that should be one of the dares. I'll add it in if eat yourself isnt there already.
(I remember before in the past I had a year long LD goal of tearing my own arm off and I did that... now on to something even more crazy!)
You get the site bravery award, Im not going to try that as I know it will hurt (even thou it is a dream).
I don't care what others think, I'm going to eat my own fingers just for the heck of it!
(Who else does it or even thinks of it?!)
Make sure you share with us what happened when you do that.

Re: 500 things to do in a LD (updated)
HAGART, I just changed the wording of the eat yourself dare to "13. Eat yourself, start with your fingers." as I do think eatting fingers sounds scarier then taking a bite out of ones own arm (it makes me squirm thinking of chomping off a finger).

Amazingly we'd missed simply "walk up a wall" on the list. Its there now thanks.
(just found another repeat on the list so have taken that out.. just when I was sure there was no repeats).

Re: 500 things to do in a LD (updated)
I was asked for an update and so here it is:
I tried biting my own finger off in a lucid dream. The problem was that it was so vivid, I actually felt pain so couldn't continue. It was way too real.

Iron Serum
Interpreting Results
Overview of IRN
What is IRN?
This test is ordered as a follow up test when abnormal results are found on routine tests such as CBC; when your doctor is suspecting either deficiency of iron or excess of iron. The features of iron deficiency are pale skin, fatigue, headaches, weakness.
Why is IRN done?
- If you have signs or symptoms of iron deficiency anemia like pallor, fatigue, weakness, headaches
- If your CBC shows that your hemoglobin and hematocrit are low and RBC's are smaller and paler than normal which usually suggest iron deficiency anemia
- If you have signs or symptoms of increased accumulation of iron in the body like joint pain, abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of body hair
Preparation for IRN
- Do not eat or drink anything other than water for 8-12 hours before the test.
Sample Type for IRN
The sample type collected for Iron Serum is: Blood
Interpreting IRN results
Serum iron test is usually evaluated in conjunction with other iron tests.
- A low iron with a high TIBC and transferrin usually indicates iron deficiency anemia. Various causes of iron deficiency are decreased intake, pregnancy, lactation, malabsorption syndromes
- High levels of serum iron can occur as a result of multiple blood transfusions, lead poisoning, liver diseases, sideroblastic anemia, hemachromatosis

I've had it since late July, and I can take every game I have and turn everything up to Max, and not even a hiccup. Nice and smooth. MW3 looks amazing on it, especially when I plug the HDMI cable into my 65" 3d Plasma. Crysis is a good benchmark, and no problem at all. I bought this hoping it would last me at least 5 years. I think it will be awhile 'till a game comes out it can't handle. That was my goal with this computer. I'm surprised they can stuff all this into a laptop...well, it is a pretty hefty laptop. I think I'm about a year from upgrading our main desktop computer that my wife uses. She's a little jealous of my little monster here. Why a laptop you may be wondering? I use this in my living room from my recliner. I have a side table for the mouse, and a laptop stand that pivots, and I put the external keyboard on my lap. So I can watch tv, and when I want to use the computer, I just pivot it in front of me. It's a pretty sweet setup. XBOX and PS3 can suck it! ( I do own an XBOX though, and enjoy it). Anyhoo, here are the main stats...
Alienware M18x Space Black Anodized Aluminum
Intel Core i7 Extreme Quad-core 2920XM Overclocked Turbo Boost to 4.0GHz (8MB Cache)
16GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600MHz (4DIMMS)

A national shortage of pathologists is causing delays in the diagnosis of some cancers, leading medical experts say.
There are 1100 pathologists in Australia but the Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) says 200 more are needed to ensure consistent, timely diagnosis of disease.
"You can only work within safety limits. If you push it, that undermines quality and safety," RCPA president Professor Yee Khong told AAP.
"Most pathologists will say `I can't do any more today' and there may well be a delay which can impact treatment.
"Some of them (the delays) can be critical, others where you're diagnosing just a day or two later, it doesn't make too much difference."
The college has launched a new social media campaign, including two humorous videos, to highlight the issue.
Australian Medical Association president Dr Steve Hambleton said he was a little sceptical about whether the campaign would work.
He agreed there was a shortage of pathologists and that shortage could cause delays.
"Pathologists will instantly tell you yes it is cancer or no it's not," he told AAP.
"You need someone who is highly trained who can make that call on the spot ... so if a pathologist is delayed you might not be able to get surgery on the day."
The RCPA's social media videos invite viewers to imagine a world without pathologists.
One, called Tickleoscopy, shows a hapless doctor trying to diagnose illness with a feather and a harmonica.
The second, called Emutopsy, shows a doctor attempting diagnosis using an emu egg and cymbals.
Prof Khong said the RCPA took a humorous approach because previous serious campaigns hadn't always worked.
The RCPA says it's unclear precisely why the pathologist shortage has occurred.
Prof Khong says one reason may be that the profession does not receive much exposure and students are drawn to more glamorous areas of medicine.
Federal Health Minister Tanya Plibersek and NSW Health Minister Jillian Skinner have been asked for comment.

Oh, wondrous power of words, by simple faith licensed to take the meaning that we love! –William Wordsworth, The Prelude: Book Seventh: Residence in London
To make your language-learning experience as efficient and effective as possible—in Rosetta Stone and beyond—we carefully select the words you learn in each of our programs. The total number varies from one language to the next because each language uses words differently to build structures and express meaning. So how do we go about it?
When building a specific language program, here's what we keep in mind when we choose which words to teach:
- a word's usefulness as a building block for acquiring language structures;
- its relevance to common situations;
- and how natural it is to use in everyday speech.
This means that we choose just the right words—and the right number of words—to help you develop your language skills, especially your communication skills. In English levels 1-5, for example, you use just over 2,500 unique words to develop your command of the language, and you'll encounter each of those words repeatedly in multiple contexts and activities. Just think of the practice you get with every word. Imagine the range of new language structures you master and how comfortable you become using those words in conversations.
It's our commitment and a point of pride that we actually teach you the words we use; we don't drench you in a flood of words and call it teaching. So, in Rosetta Stone programs you won't memorize long vocabulary lists. You will, however, develop the essential skill of learning new words in context—inside Rosetta Stone and when you're away from it—and you'll acquire the confidence to use those words on the spot in everyday conversations. How easily you retain the words you learn, and how well you can use them in conversations, demonstrates the true value of our language-learning solutions.
You could think of it this way: language-learning programs are a lot like recipes. A recipe packed with ingredients doesn't ensure a great meal; great meals depend on the quality (not quantity) of the ingredients and the ingenuity of the recipe. At Rosetta Stone, our "recipes"—the sequences of language and images—lead you to discover the meaning of new language on your own, and to use that new language every day. Bon appétit!

Monster Energy Drink Backs Down Due To Public Pressure; Vermonster Beer Lives On
from the but-what-about-the-others? dept
Of course, it looks like Hansens only backed down in this one instance. Yet, as we noted, Hansens appears to have contracted with notorious abuser of the trademark system, Continental Enterprises, who likes to send cease-and-desist letters to anyone even mentioning a trademark name. Just recently, beyond the whole Vermonster situation, Hanses -- via CE -- has gone after a beverage review site (which had a negative review of Monster Energy Drink) and an actor who was a movie monster.
Will Hansens call off Continental Enterprises from its abusive practices?
It's great that public pressure got the company to back down on Vermonster beer, but those other situations didn't get nearly as much attention.
Matt Nadeau, from the Rock Art Brewery is asking how we can continue to use the community that came together to help him to do more to protect other small businesses from the same thing. As a starting point, why not point them to these other abuses by Hansens and CE and get Hansens to back down? After that, it would be great to get people to recognize that we need serious trademark law reform that brings trademark law back to its intended purpose: acting as a consumer protection technique against appropriation and confusion, rather than what many believe it's become: a property right and a monopoly.

Well, that's all about to change as Disney today announced that they are again rethemeing their incredibly popular "Star Tours" attraction to showcase the star power of one Angus McGonagle. Yes, the argyle gargoyle who gargles Gershwin is about to become a fixture of the Disney Parks! Only a little bit of information has surfaced with this exciting announcement, but we've found out just a few of the exciting scenes that will feature prominently in the ride:
- Dodge saliva bullets as you rocket past Angus McGonagle and Mark Hammil gargling
- Enjoy a relaxing flight as Angus croons "Springtime" in the background
- Defeat Dearth Nadir with the help of Angus and Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue"
- Knock the other, more talented acts off stage with relentless gargling of selections from "Porgy and Bess"
And really, what more needs to be said? Why bother indeed.

text: One of the youngest teams to greet Knoxville Girls Tennis Coach Nick DeMoss is working out and getting ready for the season. The girls actually already have had a match scheduled with Chariton earlier this week but got rained out on Thursday. DeMoss says only one senior is on the team this season. While the team is very young, he says they have been working hard in practice. He says he knows that most of the conference teams will have much more experience than his. He adds that right now the girls will likely take their lumps, but in a few seasons he can see what is building on the horizon. Knoxville's next scheduled match is this Tuesday against one of the Little Hawkeye Conference favorites, Pella Christian.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Audition for 'Fifty Shades of Grey'
On a recent promotional stop for 'The Campaign' stars Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis got a little goofy with "mommy porn" novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey.' Watch the comedic pair read excerpts from the wildly popular — and wildly terrible — novel.
Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis were doing interviews for 'The Campaign' this week when a clever reporter decided it might be fun for them to take turns reading from 'Fifty Shades of Grey,' the bestselling novel (read: 'Twilight' fan fiction) about a young woman who falls for an older man with a BDSM fetish.
The video seems a bit silly at first, and even Ferrell and Galifianakis appear to oblige just to be polite, but then they actually start reading from the book and things get pretty hilarious. Neither of them can process what they're reading as they're saying the words aloud, and both get confused as to what parts they should be speaking. The scene in particular takes place in a bath tub, though Galifianakis wonders if they're in a kiddie pool.
If you're not up to date with the 'Fifty Shades of Grey' phenomenon, we broke it down in a handy article a few months back. Or you could just watch the video below and get a pretty good idea of how horribly written this stuff is, but it sounds so delightful coming out of the mouths of two comic geniuses.
You can check out more of Ferrell and Galifianakis' steamy on screen chemistry when 'The Campaign' hits theaters on August 10.

Happy Mother's Day all. Greetings to all moms. Enjoy your day.
The Mets go for the sweep today of the Giants, which would be their tenth straight win at Citi Field. It will be Oliver Perez against Tim Lincecum, perhaps the game's best pitcher.
After a dismal start, the Mets are only a game out of first place causing me to wonder where they might be if Jason Bay and Jeff Francoeur were hitting at all.
Bay has been getting better at-bats since the team returned home and has driven in first-inning runs in the last two games. Francoeur, after a hot streak to open the season, hasn't been the same since the 20-inning game in St. Louis.
Francoeur admits to lunging and swinging at pitches outside the zone. He doesn't have the same patience he had at the start of the season.
Things won't get easier today against Lincecum.
Luis Castillo is out of the lineup with a bruised left heel and will be replaced by Alex Cora. Rod Barajas returns behind the plate.
Barajas made an interesting comment the other day about Perez, saying he fights himself too much and too quickly when things start to go against him. Perez is the kind of guy who needs a lot of stroking.
Here's the lineup for the 17-13 Mets behind Perez:
Angel Pagan, CF
Alex Cora, 2B
Jose Reyes, SS
Jason Bay, LF
David Wright, 3B
Ike Davis, 1B
Jeff Francoeur, RF
Rod Barajas, C
Oliver Perez, LP

Recent Art
I have not posted for awhile and for that I apologize. I recently committed to remaking a design by an artist on Threadless. I respect the artist Isaboa (Joe) and I thought his design had some potential. Here is my version.
Below is Joe's original design. I took his concept, added my style, and subdued the color. I also kept the dynamic composition.
I was late submitting a design for an Indian Pale Ale design for Finch's Beer Company. It was an open competition and I drew this picture the day it was due. Needless to say it was not going to get finished for the competition.
I also had the opportunity to create a design for the band Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Most of their merchandise was pretty strange looking hand drawn art and I tried to push the envelope in that direction. I was going for bazaar but drawn well; I really liked my final product. They ended up going with designs that were more solid graphically speaking.

Here is a sentence from de viris illustribus (Caesar):
He (Caesar) was very skilled in arms and horse-riding. He was capable of enduring(?) hardships more patiently than he was believed [to be capable of?].Armorum et equitandi peritissimus fuit, laborum patientior quam credi potest
In my tentative translation I supplied "to endure" out of no where to make it passable English. I have a difficulty fitting laborum into the rest of the sentence. What verb or adjective casts the noun into the genitive? Even though the only finite verb in the sentence is potest, I am note sure if possum takes a genitive noun as the predicate.
Thanks in advance for all those who would answer my quetions!
ut valeatis,
