DENVER >> Peyton Manning slapped his hands together five, six, seven times and barked out the signals. A few seconds later, Wes Welker was all alone, cradling the quarterback's latest touchdown pass.
All part of another impeccably crafted victory for Manning and the Denver Broncos, who rolled over the Oakland Raiders 37-21 on Monday. Denver's 127 points lead the league and are 31 more than second-place Green Bay.
This was Denver's 14th consecutive regular-season win, tying the franchise record set in 1998 when the Broncos won their second Super Bowl.
Manning went 32 for 37 for 374 yards and set a few more records while beating the overmatched Raiders (1-2).
"You see flashes of good things," Manning said. "When we're executing and not making mistakes, we can go the distance. We can go 80 yards, take advantage of a short field."
Manning's 12 touchdown passes are one more than Tom Brady's old record for the first three games, set in 2011. Manning still has yet to throw an interception, which matches a record held by Michael Vick, who also threw 12 touchdowns before his first interception in 2010.
"He's started where he left off last year and improved on that," Broncos coach John Fox said. "We've brought in some guys who have helped us. He's an incredible player as far as the way he prepares and communicates things to his teammates."
As much as the numbers in the latest win, it was Manning's deciphering of the Oakland defense that was the difference.
His first touchdown, a 2-yard pass to Eric Decker, came after a subtle play action fake that froze the defense and left Decker uncovered in the back of the end zone.
Manning's targets for the next two touchdowns — Welker and Julius Thomas — didn't have defenders within three steps of them when they caught passes, a sure sign Manning had diagnosed the defense he was looking at well before the snap and knew exactly where he wanted to go with the ball.
"All of them did a good job competing," Manning said of his receivers. "We knew we were in a challenge, because Oakland has good cover corners. Mix up their coverage well. Guys did a good job getting open versus man, and finding holes in the zones. All of them did a good job running with the ball after the catch."
There were the five incompletions, though two of them were flat-out drops and another two hit receivers in the hands, but would have been difficult catches. The Broncos settled for three field goals and had to punt once. Rookie Montee Ball lost another fumble. Denver came a field goal short of reaching 40 points for the third straight game.
Manning's prediction that Chris Clark would be a seamless replacement for injured Ryan Clady as his blindside protector didn't exactly pan out. Lamarr Houston beat Denver's new starting left tackle badly in the third quarter for a sack and strip that halted a drive that had reached the Raiders 13.
But Denver was ahead 30-7 at that point.
"Those are things we have to iron out," Manning said.
And, really, any complaints about Denver's offense seem like quibbling given what's gone on so far this season. The record for touchdown passes in a season is 50, set by Brady in 2007. If he keeps up this pace, Manning will throw 64.
The Raiders offense made one big play before the game got out of hand, when Terrelle Pryor (19 for 28 for 281 yards), who left the game late with a concussion, hit Denarius Moore in the middle of the field and Broncos defensive backs Duke Ihenacho and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie whiffed on the tackle. Moore went 73 yards to cut Oakland's deficit to 17-7 in the second quarter.
All of which simply gave Manning the ball back more quickly. On the first play of the next drive, he hit Decker, who spun away from his defender for a 61-yard gain. Three plays later, the Broncos were up 17 again after Manning found Thomas on an out route for a 13-yard score.
The Broncos defense, now halfway through Von Miller's suspension and playing again without injured Champ Bailey, allowed only 9 yards on the ground to Darren McFadden, who came into the game leading the league with 223 yards from scrimmage. McFadden did, however, throw a touchdown — a 16-yard connection to Marcel Reece on a halfback option — and get a late rushing score.

I've sort of been blundering my way through Category 5 (the entry level for men's road racing) with mixed results, so far not breaking lucky number 13th place, which I've gotten twice. I can tell I am getting stronger, but I still have a lot to learn about strategy and properly timing my efforts. I've been discovering what my stronger and weaker points are, and trying to get a little more serious in my training to balance my self out. My top end speed in a sprint is decently quick, but I can't hold it long enough yet to make a break if I go too early, and if I am too conservative I end up in a position with no clear path to blast off in the end. The fairly hilly road race this past weekend revealed I still have a lot of work to do on climbing.
It's all been fun though, and I enjoy pushing my self. I'll keep trying and hopefully I can get some top ten finishes this year, now upgraded as a Category 4 racer, where it actually starts to count for something. I think most people consider it a victory if you get out of Cat 5 without getting in any of the crashes it is known for, which I have been fortunate enough to avoid.
Here are some shots of me in action at the Ontario Easter Sunday Grand Prix:
And a bonus special image of Meghan who also raced that weekend in the entry women's category. She was really stoked to hang with the pack for the whole race after being dropped in her first race attempt last year. She has gotten more serious about her training in recent months, and it showed in a world of improvement over where she was at a year ago. Go Meghan! Fwoosh!

text: Funding the state's transportation program is a major issue on the agenda of this year's legislative session. Since 2000, miles traveled on Vermont's roads have increased by 13 percent, but annual gasoline and diesel fuel tax revenues are the same today as they were 12 years ago. As Vermonters have replaced gas-guzzlers with more fuel efficient vehicles, the new vehicles use less fuel per mile. Thus, gas and diesel taxes, which are the principal sources of revenue for the state's Transportation Fund, are not keeping up with the wear and tear on the roads.

Walking Poles
Walking Poles
Walking Poles are designed as an aid to walking and hiking over rough and uneven terrain, and to aid climbing and descending steep slopes.
They are also used by power walkers to increase upper body exercise.
As well as to aid balance when crossing uneven ground or fording a river, when going up hill the pole(s) can be used to help pull yourself up and so reduce the load on your legs.
Coming downhill they help to maintain a steady rate of descent.
Height Adjustable Walking Poles
It is important to be able to adjust the height of your walking pole, and so make sure the pole(s) you buy are fully height adjustable.
The poles need to be lengthened when going downhill, and shortened when going uphill.
When gripping the pole handle loosely with the tip on the ground, your forearm should be horizontal.

Macklemore could be standing next to me right now and i'd have no clue who he was. I bet 75% of the stadium (especially those over 40) would be in the same boat.

About a year ago, I started my career in the Federal government. As far as I know, I am the only atheist in my office, and some of the people I work with (including my boss) are VERY expressive about their religious views. I've felt very uncomfortable standing up for myself as an atheist, and even more uncomfortable being constantly (at least a couple of times per week) subjected to religious questions, comments, etc.
These "probes" started with my boss asking me what I want for my unborn son (I'm expecting in a couple of months), then proceeding to tell me, if it was his child, he would want to make sure that his spirit lived on eternally. Other questions/discussions have ranged from relatively harmless ("...you should come play volleyball with my church team...") to complete idiocy ("...in the Old Testament times, people lived to be 400 years old..."). I've also had other co-workers give me a card or a poem for my baby that are religious in nature or that refer to "God's blessings," etc.
While most of the people closest to me know me as an atheist, I feel that, like a person's faith, it is something deeply personal and should stay that way except when in the company of like-minded people or those who can have a rational, unemotional discussion about it. I am irritated by my co-workers'--and more specifically my boss's--assumptions that (a) everyone subscribes to the same world view, and (b) that it is ok to discuss these things in a workplace at all, let alone a Federal workplace. I fear (and not unnecessarily, I don't think) that I will be judged and treated differently if I openly express these concerns.
Looking for a little advice, if anybody has words of wisdom....

Religion is not an appropriate topic of discussion for most workplaces. I suggest making it clear to your co-workers that religion is a topic you feel intensely private about and you would appreciate their professionalism in respecting that privacy. Make this an issue of professionalism at work rather than an ideological clash.
I agree. I spent 41 years in Federal service, half in uniform. I had Atheist friends. They were the only ones I would discuss religion with, except one. There was only one person of religious conviction I could have rational conversations with, even then, the actual lable of Atheist was never spoken.
Tred carfully on this. Remember, there's a lot of them, and they will try to make your daily life miserable. They seem to think it's some sort of duty to their sky daddy.
Yes, I would agree with Sarah - religion is not an appropriate topic for the workplace.
Something you mentioned in your post is something you might want to state to them in the workplace, if the subject comes up. I feel that, like a person's faith, it is something deeply personal and should stay that way. Then, follow it up with the old standby that politics and religion is something best left out of polite conversation.
When asked what church I go to, I reply with open disgust "You won't catch me in a damn church!" It stops the conversation very quickly (in most cases). I haven't had any issues yet.
I just tell them I can't go to church anymore. The last time I went I burst into flames.
Thanks for all the input! It's not an easy question, so it's (oddly) reassuring that I got several different answers! Helps to know that I'm not crazy for having a hard time with it.
First, congrats on the little one.
Like you, I entered a workplace where I am subject to way more of the religious theories and speculation than I ever really wanted to hear.
I've been at my current job at a funeral home (Catholic affiliated) for 4 years.
From my own experiences, most people here don't discuss the subject with me, and I don't approach them either. There are a handful that try to convert me (for lack of a better term), some Catholic, some Protestant. For the most part, it rolls right off of me, as I have to let it be that way or I'd never come back. I understand with my position, I am here to help grieving families and I do my best not to judge them especially in such a time of need.
Apart from working at a church or religious affiliation, I am now a believer that this profession is amongst the most religious/spiritual you will find.
As for your situation, I've found the more I make it known about my beliefs, the more they approach me with other statements, questions and (as you so eloquently put it) complete idiocy. Many times, people are just trying to be nice and not necessarily reform you. Understanding that can make it much easier, although it still remains frustrating with the absence of others to discuss your issues with.
I'm also a federal government employee, at a military base in the very Christian Midwest. The US military is even more Christian than our mainstream society. Fortunately, my specific organization is of a scientific/engineering nature, and most of my coworkers have the benefits of good education. Most are Christian in one form or another, but we have plenty of agnostics and a handful of atheists. Discussions about religion occur from time to time, mostly by me posing friendly barbs against doctrinaire Christianity. My best discussions are with a hardcore Calvinist - a pleasant young man who has thoroughly imbibed the whole bottle. I keep tormenting him with the debate on predestination vs. free will. But since I pose my inquests in a polite manner and carefully avoid personal condemnations, I have developed a reputation as to local go-to guy for thorny philosophical and theological debates. And being the local eccentric, efforts to proselytize to me are rare.
As others have said, be careful about religious issues in the workplace. Assiduously avoid personal attacks or even the implication that some one's beliefs are silly (even if it is manifestly true!). But don't shirk from serious debate about theological issues.
Don't you find that religious degreed folks, like engineers, to be somewhat of an oxymoron? I did!
I worked with a highly competent network engineer who was a devout Muslim. Time out for prayers, trip to Mecca, the whole bit.
I have a childhood friend who has a law degree and a theology degree. It never ceases to amaze me that he held a high administrative position in a church. I just cannot image a person that smart buying into it. How do they do it?

I love a wedding. Seriously I LOVE them! I love all the random crazy little things that brides have sent hours obsessing over like place cards and favours and I love crying at the vows and laughing at the speeches. Going to weddings reminds me why I am planning my own when I get bogged down in the details, it is the overall air of love, happiness and lifetime commitment which I love most of all, not whether the napkins match the tablecloths.
These are some images I took of Kylie and Matt's relaxed garden wedding in Oxfordshire. Such a different non-traditional wedding from anything I have ever been too.
Get ready for a picture dump!
|Father of the Bride and the Bride
Kylie's dress was an original 1950's party dress with gorgeous rhinestones on the bodice which I LOVE. Her hair and make up was done by her very talented friends which I got to meet for the first time prepping for the wedding.
Our gorgeous bridesmaid bouquets, made by some of the bridesmaids themselves!
|Amy, bridesmaid, and Kylie
Excitement at arriving at the venue and pulling a 'Kylie face.' We soon discovered that the bride could not stop giggling through the ceremony, at least until the point she started crying instead!
The bride and groom. Look at those happy faces! What they wore really reflected their personalities and there was so much of 'them' in the ceremony and party.
|Bridesmaids, Best Man, Bride and Groom
The four bridesmaids (that's me on the end and a sneak peek of my finished Apple dress) didn't have a dress code, we just wore what we liked (though some coordinated in advance!) and we had sweet flower crowns and bouquets too.
They had looooads of pretty and colourful decorations hung everywhere around the venue and I love this picture of lanterns, fans and birdies!
Th tables were named after mythical creatures and we were on the Dragon table roar!!
Kylie hand made the glittery stars and the chiffon fabric really made it feel magical without blocking all the light. We had fabulous BBQ food served family style and I loved the roasted peppers and homemade coleslaw.
There were lots of garden games including mini golf and, of course, jenga and there were so many little photo op places around the grounds, see the bench with lanterns behind? These lit up at night and there were fairy lights everywhere. It was so magical!
As you can see Kylie is a really good sport and we just had to take a few photos are the place, there are many more like this (one of a crazy dwarf beard that appeared during some manic dancing) we all had a brilliant time and I can't wait to see Kylie and Matt again soon.

Hi Guys
Thank you for the lovely comments on my last post. I'm still not feeling brilliant but I am chosing to ignore it over the bank holiday weekend. I'll probably spend Monday asleep all day because of that but never mind!
I'm off for a day out to London tomorrow. We're starting at the Tate and seeing where the day takes us. It will probably take me to a Primarni and a sleek selling Superdrug. And Sallys. And Topshop. I wanted to do some funky nails and when I saw the press releases for Topshop A/W 11 I died when I saw the Dalmatian jumper and HAD to do some nails. if you haven't seen it the Topshop lookbook is here and it's in the new mod section.
I used Color Club in French tip for all the white, Pupa 704 for the black nails and a claires black nail art pen. The red line on the french tip nails is Boots 17 Knockout Red and the bow is hexagon sequiny bits then I drew round them with the nail art pen. to tidy up the bow shape. Not totally neat nails but I think they are funky XD. This was a really easy manicure. I'll break it into steps for you prep nails as you normally would using your favourite basecoats
1. Paint thumb and ring finger white
2. Paint index, middle and little fingers black
3. Paint white tips on black fingers (I used a fine brush)
4. Paint black blotches on the white polished nails and the tips. I found it best to use a nail art pen and jiggle it a bit so the edges are not to smooth and try to be random.
5. Paint a fine red line where the white tips meet the black nail polish
6. place sequins in a bow shape on both white nails.
7. Use the nail art pen to outline the sequins and define the bow shape. I also put a few little creases in the bow.
8. Paint all nails with topcoat. I used Sally's Express Gelous and when that had dried a little a coat of Seche vite.
If you decide to recreate this look please share your links I'd love to see it.
Have fun
Stacie xoxox

Columbus Academy's board of trustees has selected Melissa Boocock Soderberg as its first female and eighth head of school.
Columbus Academy's board of trustees has selected Melissa Boocock Soderberg as its first female and eighth head of school.
Soderberg will join CA on July 1, 2013, replacing John Mackenzie, who will leave in June after 16 years.
"I am tremendously excited about continuing the great work of John Mackenzie in leading Columbus Academy," Soderberg told ThisWeek. "While I am sure being female will inform some of the ways I do things, the school is such an open place, with forward-thinking initiatives like an emerging ethical literacy curriculum, extensive diversity work and increased and thoughtful use of technology in classes, that its bright future will be realized through its own rich history of a devoted faculty, able students and exceptionally supportive parents, alumni and trustees."
She said everyone would work to ensure that Columbus Academy is the most compelling education offered in the Columbus area.
CA's trustees announced on Oct.12 that Soderberg, current Upper School director at Breck School in Minnesota, had been selected as its new leader.
"We are thrilled to have Ms. Soderberg and her family join our community," said Poe Timmons, chair of the board of trustees. "We are confident that she will carry on the fine work of John Mackenzie and lead Columbus Academy to continued success in the future."
Soderberg's professional experience as an independent school educator includes roles as a division head, college counseling director, dean of students, history teacher and numerous coaching positions, in addition to extensive work in finance, admissions and development.
She has degrees from Middlebury College and the Teachers College at Columbia University, where she was a Joseph Klingenstein Fellow.
The appointment is the result of an extensive international search in which the board search committee and a specially appointed advisory committee screened and interviewed various candidates from the United States and Europe.
"We heard from our community as a whole its desire for a head of school who will lead our school with vision, integrity and commitment," Timmons said. "We believe that we have found an individual who possesses those qualities and who will weigh every decision based on the best interests of Columbus Academy and the students it serves.
"We are confident that Ms. Soderberg's capacity for visionary leadership, commitment to education in the 21st century, personal warmth and deep appreciation for Columbus Academy's traditions will serve our community well," Timmons said.
Soderberg said she knows about CA's positive reputation.
"I have known Columbus Academy much of my life as one of the strongest schools in ISACS (Independent Schools Association of the Central States), as it enjoys an enviable reputation in the independent school community," she said. "Obviously, the core of that reputation comes from the rigorous academic program, but in recent years, Columbus Academy has revealed itself to be very forward-thinking with diversity strategies, securing a significant grant to further financial aid and finding new ways to develop ethical initiatives while maintaining its character as a school with a rich history."
The coeducational, independent school serves more than 1,070 students in pre-kindergarten to grade 12 from throughout central Ohio.
"As I spent time with the incredibly thoughtful faculty, smart and introspective students, caring parents, loyal alumni and devoted and energetic administrators and trustees during my recent visit, I began to more deeply understand and appreciate the impact of John Mackenzie's steady leadership of the school and its constituents," Soderberg said. "I am humbled to have the amazing opportunity to lead -- and have my family be a part of -- a school that so appealingly melds character and academic rigor while it seeks to be self-examining in curricular practice and service outreach. I cannot imagine a better place than Columbus Academy for my family to call home."
Soderberg's husband, Dr. John Soderberg, is managing director of the Anthropology Laboratories at the University of Minnesota. They have two sons, Angus and Philip.

I spotted this fantastic purple fabric at the store and reminded me of this Miu Miu AW12 pattern, which I thought this was a slight imitation of, but once I checked I realised it was more Carnaby street then 5th avenue, so then I knew exactly which pattern to pair it with!
I got this 1967 Vogue 7219 pattern from ebay. It's a Step-in dress with top-stitch trimming and full length sleeves. It also has pockets in the side seams. I graded the width of the sleeves down as they were very puffy and I narrowed the shoulders down a little because the puff of the sleeve was sitting off of my shoulder
It also has 6 bound buttons down the front – a first for me! They're a bit wrinkled in the photo from wear. I used the basic techniques from the Complete Guide to Sewing. And I inserted plackets on the sleeve cuffs. One thing I never used to do properly. I also couldn't find any matching buttons in my collection of some 3000+ buttons so I had to go a buy a button making kit too.
Vogue Patterns are a little more tricky and require more hand-stitching, but this was pretty worth it.

|Jack Dempsey/Associated Press
|Michael Oher and the rest of the Ravens' offensive line have flourished in new roles during the playoffs.
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens' offensive line has become staunch. It's been knock-people-over tough. It's survived multiple configurations, a change at offensive coordinator and a criminally cold day in Denver. And it would almost have a profile.
If only the lineman with the most famous name played the position he became famous for.
"I think it's funny," left guard Kelechi Osemele said.
"That is funny," left tackle Bryant McKinnie said.
"There are a lot of things that are funny about Mike," center Matt Birk said with a hearty laugh.
"Mike" is Michael Oher, the star subject of both a wildly successful book (Michael Lewis' The Blind Side) and movie (the Sandra Bullock vehicle by the same name). Oher did indeed start the season protecting Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco's blind side from the left tackle position. But with the playoffs came one more offensive-line swap, with Oher moving to right tackle, the veteran McKinnie sliding off the bench and over to the left side and Osemele moving inside, to the other side of Birk. Through three games, it's all worked brilliantly.
Take out the sack that came long after the AFC Championship Game had been decided, and the Ravens have allowed just three sacks in three postseason games. The New England Patriots' monster nose tackle, Vince Wilfork, managed just one tackle in that matchup.
With Pro Bowler Marshal Yanda filling out the line at right guard, Flacco has had all sorts of time. The group is stymieing pass rushers and getting to the second level in run blocking, meaning that the San Francisco 49ers' fearsome front is facing a much bigger challenge than it would have had these teams met a month ago.
"We don't have a poor offensive line in Baltimore anymore," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said, almost gleefully, last week.
The Ravens have settled on a good mix of veterans (Birk is in his 15th season out of Harvard; former first-round draft pick McKinnie is 33) and youth. Osemele is the rookie, a second-round pick that Yanda has spent the season hassling about how "lucky" he is to have had so much success so early in his career. "He gives me a hard time," the 23-year old Osemele said.
Of his switch from right tackle to left guard, Osemele simply said, "It wasn't necessarily difficult." The words are virtually interchangeable with those McKinnie offered when attempting to explain how he became a playoff stalwart despite making zero regular-season starts. After reporting overweight and having to take a pay cut, McKinnie patiently waited for his chance. Since he's had it, the 6-foot-8, 350-pounder has been a flat-out mauler.
"We're just working well together. This group works," McKinnie said.
Like most offensive lines, the Ravens' unit has little interest in self-promotion or, Birk said, anything selfish. "It's all about the team, and what's best for the team," he said. "It might not be best for certain individuals to be moving around and playing different positions and playing out of position, but that really doesn't matter."
|Check out the best photos of Michael Oher.
Birk is the center by position and role, the one who anchors the line and the one who McKinnie unabashedly says he's playing for. Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis has gathered the headlines after announcing his retirement, but he might not be the only key veteran set to make his last NFL appearance; McKinnie, who was teammates with Birk when both were members of the Minnesota Vikings, said his gut tells him Birk will retire after the Super Bowl. Birk remains mum and won't admit he's weighing the possibility, but McKinnie said, "I'm sure. So I want to win for him."
"It's being an offensive lineman," Birk says. "It's not an individual position."
And there is, of course, Oher, who has perhaps the highest Q-rating but has also, for two weeks now, refused a request to chat about anything related to the Ravens. Before the AFC Championship Game, Oher said he played better when he didn't talk. Last week, he said the Ravens were on a roll, and so he was going to keep it that way.
"He's nothing," Osemele said, "like the kid in the movie. That's not reality, anyway."
This line, however, is.

Summary & Intro. to Spiritual Retreat Topic by the Retreat Presentor:
Living an Orthodox Life in an Unorthodox World
Mark J. Cherry
There has been a lot of publicity about the new millennium, about the 21st century, about entering a new age with new genetic technologies, new electronic communications, new global financial markets, and perhaps even a new post-traditional morality. In this series of presentations and case discussions, we will examine some of the challenges we will all face in preserving our moral understandings as Orthodox Christians in this new millennium. This new age invites us to approve of men and women living together without marriage, of the ordination of priestesses, of abortion as an element of responsible parenting, of homosexual marriages, and of physician-assisted suicide as an appropriate part of a death with dignity. In short, we are often asked by our culture to accept a way of life that the Fathers of the Church have consistently condemned. As we will discuss, it is a mistake to think of any one of these moral challenges as isolated from our general task of preserving and remaining true to our faith. Our moral life can only make full sense and survive if our faith survives. If we wonder why some of our friends and children at times express the morality of an often morally corrupt society, the answer lies in their not fully living the Orthodox faith. Maintaining our morality can only be understood in terms of the challenge of maintaining an Orthodox worldview and living one's Orthodox faith. Morality only makes sense in terms of the metaphysics we live — that is, our deep commitments concerning the meaning of life and the purpose of the universe must be lived out in all that we do.

Learn robotics with LEGO Education WeDo. Build snapping alligators, race cars, and spinning robots, then program them with the WeDo visual drag-and-drop programming software.
In this robotics course, students are taught engineering basics with an emphasis on exploration and trial and error field-testing. Instead of simply "snapping bricks together," students are encouraged to think critically about how and why their design needs to adapt to changing conditions. Our guided, personalized instruction allows younger kids to understand more complicated engineering techniques such as gear use, pulleys, and inclined planes.

US buyers were getting into full gear on Saturday afternoon (7) as Focus Features is understood to have paid in the region of $7m for worldwide rights to Jason Bateman's feature directorial.
The Weinstein Company and Lionsgate were in pursuit after Friday night's world premiere. According to acquisitions sources, bidding shot up to the $5m mark before Focus stepped up.
Focus plans a 2014 theatrical release for the Darko Entertainment/Aggregate Films/MXN production about a 40-year-old man in need of change who enters a National Spelling Bee contest and befriends a young contender.
Bad Words stars Bateman alongside Kathryn Hahn, Rohan Chand, Allison Janney, Ben Falcone, Rachael Harris and Philip Baker Hall.
Bateman produced through his company Aggregate with Mason Novick of MXN and Darko's Sean McKittrick and Jeff Culotta.
Andrew Dodge wrote the original Black List screenplay. Focus struck the deal with CAA and Hicks Professional Law Corporation.
Early on Friday A24 closed the first on-site deal of the festival with what is believed to be a $1.25m North American buy on Locke.

Go to your local public library branch again. Examine the local history, archives and/or special collections section. Ask a librarian if you don't know if your library has special collections or where they are located. Be sure to check the reference section, too, as many of the newer and more valuable books are held in that area. If you have a genealogy blog, write about what you find in your library's local history and special collections.
If you read my week 1 entry, you know my closest library is just a suburban baby branch in a large county system. With that in mind, I knew there wouldn't be much in the special collections department. The area's "history" is about 30 years old and is marked by the first houses being built. There is no real past here, just a lot of trees.
I did inquire about newspaper archives, however. We have a little community paper and I was wondering if back issues exist and are accessible at the library. The answer I got was that the collection was "sporadic" depending on what they received.
Soon, the library will move to a new building that is 2 1/2 times larger than its current size. I am hoping this means that we'll get a little more room for unique collections. Until then, I have to mosey down the road to Humble for my local history fix.

i was rejected by phone from my first choice school today. it's the first time i've ever been rejected from an academic program. i covered my disappointment by asking a couple of logistical questions about applying as a transfer next year, but didn't get a good response.the question i really wanted to ask was, "why didn't you accept me?" i know i made some mistakes- applying very late in the cycle clearly hurt me, as did skipping any significant prep for the LSAT (i know i could have scored at least 5 points higher, which didn't seem like a lot at the time). still, my score was their median; my grades were pretty good; my essay was solid; excellent letters of recommendation from profs/supervisors who knew me best including the prof of an undergrad legal course i aced; several years of work experience in which i rose to the top of my field, then shifted careers into human rights work & made real contributions there; my first book is getting published this year... i mean, i think i'm pretty great, and lots of other (tier 1, lower ranked) schools do, too... so, i'm always going to wonder what i did/said/wrote that was wrong. their acceptance rate is around 10%, which meant that i had to beat out something like 20 other applicants. i find it hard to believe that i couldn't do that. i mean, i know some real idiots who applied.has anyone tried to get a rejection explanation out of an admissions committee? how did you go about it? were you successful? should i just spit out my sour grapes & remind myself that the school i attend really doesn't matter for the kind of work i want to do?
From the acceptance rate number, it appears to be Boalt.Rejected by phone means they called in and got the answer (as many others have done on this board).

Boulder Mayor Matt Appelbaum will continue in his role for another two years after the new City Council re-elected him in a 5-4 vote.
Councilman Tim Plass had also sought the mayor position. He said he could bring a better style of meeting management and build consensus along "both sides of the aisle."
Appelbaum said he tried to make sure complex issues got a full hearing. He also wanted to continue his work on regional transportation issues.
In nominating Appelbaum, Councilman Macon Cowles said the City Council had two good candidates before it, but Appelbaum had developed key regional relationships and discussions around regional transportation had reached a critical juncture.
"I think it's important that we affirm his role," Cowles said. "He's got a firm hand on the tiller."
Councilman George Karakehian nominated Plass. He said he had been impressed with Plass' meeting management style on several subcommittees where they had served together and believed Plass could quickly get into the swing of regional transportation issues.
Council members Appelbaum, Cowles, Lisa Morzel, Suzanne Jones and Sam Weaver voted for Appelbaum.
Karakehian, Plass, Mary Young and Andrew Shoemaker voted "no."
Because Appelbaum prevailed on the first vote, there was not a formal vote on Plass' nomination.
Boulder's mayor serves as the chairman of the City Council and runs the meetings.
He also helps set the agenda and represents the city on regional organizations and at public events.
Jones withdrew her own name from consideration for mayor pro tem and nominated Karakehian "in the interest of diversity of viewpoints."
Karakehian, who owns Art Source International on the Pearl Street Mall, is seen as more business-oriented than the council majority.
Plass congratulated Appelbaum on his victory.
Appelbaum noted that his 5-4 win was consistent with his much more contentious 5-4 win two years ago. In that election, he prevailed over then-Councilwoman Suzy Ageton in a vote that generated accusations of behind-the-scenes deals and that led to the new procedure used this year, in which Plass and Appelbaum publicly declared their interest in the mayoral role at a special meeting last week.
There was a public hearing at Tuesday's council meeting, but no one from the public spoke for or against either candidate.
Karakehian was chosen as mayor pro tem by acclamation. That position is a one-year term.

Loving her already!
i actually think she will quit one way or another.
Looking forward to the annual "Episode 2 Older Woman Breakdown where she looks like she could quit and instead, becomes a superstar and makes it far" <333Go Lisa!
He might promise him the world but I'll promise him the UNIVERSE <3
If she makes the Final 3, I think she has a really good chance of winning.
Oh no Lisa Whelchel @LisaWhelchelDr. just called with blood test results...I have West Nile. Ugh. I'm fine, just tired. Takes a year to recover. GET BETTER LISA!!
I was rooting for her , but i definitly think that Denise is a better player.
While watching the show, I always felt that Lisa was too emotional, playing the game with too much heart over mind and logic. Often, she was caught in the dilemma of voting for people whom she like and has a close relationship with... but whom she knows she won't win a million against them. She was playing this game with so much heart, so that at times it was hard to watch her play because sometimes the things that she says doesn't make sense. But watching Lisa on TV was like watching me behave in real life.Many a times, I choose to do the right things so as to please people and not to offend anyone. But many a times, I ended up being miserable as the decision, although is what will please God and makes him happy, is not one that pleases me and makes me happy. Sometimes, we just wish to go astray and be the evil one. Sometimes, we just want to shut God out of the equation and go our own way. Let me give you an example; let's say if somebody is in your group project and leeched off you, would you follow God's words and just let it be, or would you be angry and tell the person off sternly? Of course, I'm not saying we go to the extreme of cursing and swearing, but I think you get my point.Lisa made me realized the similarities in the struggles we face (or rather, I face) in today's world. I'm using "we face" because I generally believe that most people want to do good but at times we just cannot find a reason to do it. And considering she won the fan favourite award, many people must have agreed or felt the same way as her, like I do. She had a divorce with her husband few months prior to playing Survivor and was at the rock bottom of her life and wanted to seek a different kind of motivation/meditation. Nobody knew about her sad stories, her current life during the 39 days on the Survivor Island. She kept all quiet about it because she felt that she needed no one to know about her problems. That sounds like me actually.On her Survivor experience, Lisa sums it up really nicely; about struggling with Christianity and at the same time wanting to play the game to win the million."Nothing about Survivor is the kind of thing that reflects, you know, the character of God, so it was a total internal struggle until I realized... Its OK to be human, and its OK to be sometimes good and sometimes bad... thats actually what Christianity is all about. It's acceptance."

Liberty News
Medical school plans announced
Liberty University moved one step closer to establishing its own medical school on Thursday when a subcommittee of the Virginia Tobacco Commission recommended approval of a $12 million grant.
Liberty would match the grant under the terms of the agreement while establishing a school of osteopathic medicine and an expanded health sciences school.
The proposal was unanimously approved by the special projects committee at a meeting in Roanoke. The subcommittee approval is the first part of the approval process. The full commission will make a final decision by the end of September.
If the grant is approved, the new schools could open by fall 2013.
The new facilities would cost nearly $40 million and would be located in Campbell County near the intersection of US-460 and US-29 near the Lynchburg Airport.
Campbell County qualifies for tobacco indemnification money.
Liberty's President and Chancellor Jerry Falwell Jr. said the program could provide hundreds of jobs to economically depressed Southside Virginia communities.
Falwell said Liberty medical students would use their required Christian and Community Service (CSER) hours to assist Southside residents in need of healthcare.
"Our students are already mission-minded. A lot of them go into medical missions already, so this gives them a golden opportunity to carry out those missions in our own backyard and to help the community," he said.
Liberty would offer students of the new schools who live in areas which qualify for tobacco indemnification a five percent tuition discount as part of its agreement with the tobacco commission.
The new school would train doctors of osteopathic medicine, nurse practitioners and physicians' assistants. It would also offer a variety of associate degrees in the medical field.
Liberty's grant would be the second largest grant ever authorized to a medical school by the commission.

Week 4: Ravens 23, Browns 16
Playing in the first game of the season after the regular NFL officials returned to the field, the Ravens moved to 2-0 in the AFC North. Flacco completed 28 of 46 passes for 356 yards and two touchdowns -- one passing, one rushing -- and Rice had 96 total yards on 26 touches. Cornerback Cary Williams returned an interception 63 yards for a touchdown in the final minute of the third quarter. The Browns didn't go quietly, though. Phil Dawson made three field goals from more than 50 yards, and the Browns defense stepped up in the fourth quarter. Quarterback Brandon Weeden drove Cleveland all the way to the Ravens 18-yard line in the final 1:05, but his pass on the game's final play missed. KEY NUMBER: 43 -- Rushing yards for the Browns. RAVEN OF THE GAME: Boldin. He caught nine passes for 131 yards.

Hello my little forgotten blog! I have the internet at home again, hooray!!! I did my bike ride yesterday. In a sort of mini hurricane that's come over our way from the east coast of america. Obviously nowhere nearly as bad as it was for those guys but just lots of strong winds and sideways rain. Not the best cycling weather!!! Almost died. Not really. But it was tough. I've been sitting on my couch all day today in my new SNUGGIE. Does anyone have one? They're so ridiculous, mine's zebra print and i LOVE it. I wear it over my dressing gown, and i look like a total idiot but I'm so warm!! Ok that's all I have to say right now. Will do a proper post soon. Hope everyone's as well as can be!

What can a target do if he or she is being bullied in the workplace? The advice you'll probably hear from your well-meaning family and friends is to push back. But sometimes that's just not viable. The fact is that bullies are weak people who choose their targets by who they feel won't fight back. Some people are just not confrontational.
Also, pushing back can cause the situation to get much worse. The Workplace Bullying Institute offers three suggestions for what to do if you're the target of an office bully:
1. Name it! Legitimize yourself.
Give the abuse a name: bullying, psychological harassment, psychological violence, emotional abuse. This helps you offset the effect of being told that, because your problem is not illegal (yet), you have no problems. It makes you feel legitimate.
2. Seek respite; take time off to bully-proof yourself.
Taking time off lets you get emotionally stable enough to make a clear-headed decision to stay and fight or to leave for your health's sake.
It lets you see how your physical health differs when you're away from work. If you notice a significant difference in your blood pressure when you're away from work, then you know it's a problem.
Use time away from the office to research state and federal legal options (in a quarter of bullying cases, discrimination plays a role). Talk to an attorney.
Gather data about the economic impact the bully has had on the employer. Discover turnover rates. Calculate the costs of replacement (recruitment, demoralization from understaffing, interviewing, lost time while newbie learns job), absenteeism, and lost productivity from interference by bully.
3. Expose the bully.
Make the business case that the bully is "too expensive to keep." Stick to the bottom line. If you drift into tales about the emotional impact of the bully's harassment, you will be discounted and discredited. The trick is to get the employer to stop the bullying for its own self-interests.
