How To Know If A Gay Man Is Hitting On Me
Knowing whether or not a gay man is hitting on you is important to know because you want to know how to handle the situation if it arises. If you are uninterested in the fact that a man is hitting on you, you want to know so you can politely let him down. If you are interested, you want to know what to watch for when a gay man is hitting on you so you can hit on him back!
- Watch for cue words. Cue words include pet names such as "babe", "baby", "honey", "sweety" and anything you would use to call someone you are attracted to. Surprisingly, it is easy to miss this signal. It is easy to take the words as sarcasm or joking, so pay attention and watch for these words!
- Watch for compliments. Everyone loves compliments. That is why we use them on people we are attracted to because we want them to like us back. You will want to pay attention to compliments that are made to you by other men and be wary that they may be hitting on you. Of course, not every man that compliments you is gay. Compliments are a nice gesture and the man complimenting should not be automatically categorized as gay for giving them. However, compliments including words like sexy, hot, attractive, or any other words that could be taken sexually should be a red flag.
- Watch for physical advances. If a gay man has been hitting on you and you haven't indicated to him that you are not interested, he may make advances on you thinking that it is okay. If it is okay, then by all means, enjoy. However, if you have misread his other signals and he has begun to be physical, you should politely turn him down and not lead him on. Nicely let him know that you are interested in women, and continue talking about something else. You don't want to be offensive, but you do want to make sure you do not lead him on because that could be even more hurtful.
Whether interested or not, you want to know whether or not a man is hitting on you so you can react. Either way, make sure your reaction is subtle and polite. Being too strong in your reaction can be hurtful and embarrassing to both of you. So, keep your cool and plan ahead so you know how to act in the situation that you are being hit on by a gay man.

Swaziland RPCV Mitchell Romero on Stamp
Read this story from the University of Washington on RPCV Mitchell Romero who appears on a Swaziland stamp at:
This link was active on the date it was posted. PCOL is not responsible for broken links which may have changed.
Mitchell Romero, '92, joined the Peace Corps because he wanted to travel. He's back home in Seattle after two years in Swaziland, but in some respects, it's like he never left. His likeness is still getting around that southern Africa country.
Romero, 26, appears in a postage stamp commemorating 25 years of Peace Corps volunteerism in Swaziland. "I'm quite honored," says the Spokane native.
And surprised, too. Romero didn't learn of his new-found fame until a fellow volunteer in Swaziland showed him the stamp after it had already come out.
Romero, who holds a bachelor's degree in design and planning, was teaching woodworking at a junior high school located between the hamlets of Lavumisa (pop. 150) and Matsenjeni (pop. less than 100) in the southern end of Swaziland. One day, that country's Peace Corps director arrived to take some pictures. A photo of Romero's class was selected, and an artist--a fellow American volunteer from the East Coast --came up with a drawing for the 25-cent stamp. (U.S. value: approximately seven cents).
"It isn't like I posed for it," says Romero. "I had no idea it existed until a friend pointed it out."
Romero appears in the lower half of the stamp, along with two of his students. The top half features another American volunteer teacher and his class. The face of King Mswati III appears in the upper left corner.
Appearing on a foreign country's stamp is by no means his only Swaziland memory. He also held a mini-Husky reunion--with Seattle Mayor Norm Rice, '72, '74, of all people, who happened to be in the country on vacation. A Peace Corps official who knew both were UW grads arranged the meeting. "I never thought I'd get to meet the mayor," he says, "especially being so far from Seattle."
Romero also has vivid memories of life in Swaziland. To begin with, the day he arrived, it was 114 degrees. The area he was assigned to was stricken by drought and tropical diseases, including cholera and malaria.
And then there were the mosquitoes. "I had heard the stories, but I didn't believe them," he says. "After dark, though, it was like breathing mosquitoes, there were so many. I even had them inside the mosquito net I wore over my head."
He learned how to live on getting fresh water supplies only three days a week and how to take a "bath" with a drinking cup. The nearest electricity was in a town about 12 miles away.
After nine months of teaching in a remote part of the country, he transferred to the capital of Mbabane, where he got to put his architecture skills to good use, designing and building the pavilion where the 25th anniversary of the Peace Corps celebrations were held. He also designed and built a farmers' market.
It was in Mbabane that a friend showed him the stamp. "Everyone else knew but me," says Romero, who came to the UW after three years at Western Washington University.
While his memories will live forever, you could also say Romero has left his stamp on Swaziland. --Jon Marmor

Some clients (and potential clients) ask searching questions. Others give the impression of not being curious.
People who don't ask searching questions about our business make me suspicious & mistrustful - especially when we're talking about the prospect of doing business together.
So it was incredibly welcome to be asked:
"What the difference between your marketing approach and others in Cork?"
The question opened up the really important issue of "What value would I get from you that I wouldn't get from other marketing companies? Why should I go with you?"
That's always the unspoken question - and if it doesn't come out into the open naturally - it has to be put on the table - or we're wasting our time.
The question should come from the client side of the table - otherwise there's a risk the client will think we are presenting a prepared patter.
Today a new client asked us the big question. That's why I'm so pleased.
It gave us an opportunity to respond to his tone of voice, curiosity & urgency. We were able to offer a more meaningful answer at precisely the moment when he most wanted the conversation.

Versace Atelier has never been and will never be low key. Spring 2011 is certainly no exception, with their lookbook promising to be as glamorous and luxe as ever. Versace chose model of the moment, Abbey Lee Kershaw to showcase their gowns in a 32 page lookbook for the upcoming season.
Kershaw looks even more stunning than usual sporting a white-blonde bob instead of her long, enviable surfer-girl locks. I strongly believe that it's wig, but if she ever did choose to get the chop, it wouldn't be the most disastrous thing in the world, she looks incredible.
The gowns are, well, nothing less than what you would expect from Versace Atelier. They're big, they're long and they're colourful. The crystals embellishing them sparkle like the stars, with faultless detailing and impeccable draping. Colours surge into the rainbow-brights trend with royal blue, carnation pink and emerald green as some of the most notable.
I can't stop staring at the tiniest details in these dresses, they are indeed works of art. Of course, what else is an Atelier house for?

Release date: 6 January 2014
Angie Swanson's life couldn't get more pathetic. Once a popular masseuse in Seattle, she's now the super pumper at her brother Drew's gas station in Deadhorse, Oregon. When her brother's best friend, Gary, arrives in town, she finally sees her way out of the hell she's in. If she can convince Gary to let her live with him in Seattle, just for a couple weeks until she lands a job, she'll do anything for him.
There's no way in hell Gary Satchel, wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, will let Angie live with him temporarily. His best friend, Drew, would kill him if he found out he's lusting after Angie. He only traveled to Deadhorse to give Angie the good news that the Seahawks hired her to work alongside their physical therapist and to have Drew take a look at his Camaro. But when Drew pulls a "bro favor," he finds himself up to his helmet in trouble.

An excerpt from Secretly:
Distracted by the many things on her wish list, Angie gave the man leaning against the gas pump a cursory glance and opened her mouth to tell him the gas station was closed when recognition dawned on her. She gasped and covered her mouth.
Tall with huge shoulders, Gary Satchel, the Seattle Seahawks' wide receiver, hijacked her attention. She stood without saying a word, not believing he was here. But it was him. Not just anybody could pull off his size.
His well-worn Levi's, blue and silver Seattle Seahawks football jersey, six foot four inches tall with dark stormy eyes, the two inch scar running the length of his left cheekbone on his handsome face told her everything she needed to know. She raised her gaze and shouted in joy. Her brother's best friend had come to save her.
"Gary," she said on an exhale, launching herself into his arms.
He remained silent, as he was known to do. She closed her eyes, squeezing back the tears of relief at having his famous bear hug wrapping her tightly in his embrace. If there was one person she trusted, besides her brother, it was Gary.
He'd been the solid body she'd clung to during her teenage years when life seemed too cruel to handle alone. Later, he'd become her protector when drunk guys hit on her at the clubs. He always lent her an ear when she needed to talk, and he listened without judgment.
"Sorry to hear about the job, Ang." He inhaled deeply, expanding his chest; she could barely get her arms around him.
She leaned back so she could gaze up at his face. "They picked that asshole Rodden over me to go to Germany to open the new shop. Can you believe that? The guy's rough with his hands and has the bedside manners of a stuck-up prick. The least they could've done is keep the spa open here in Seattle, instead of closing. My clientele alone would've been enough to make it profitable."
He chuckled. "Asshole? Prick?"
"Drew's rubbing off on me. Shop talk—go figure." She shuddered. "What are you doing here?"
She reluctantly stepped away from him and forced her shoulders back. Glad to have someone she knew to talk with, she wasn't going to scare him off by bitching. He gave her hand one more squeeze before letting go.
"I thought I'd stay a couple days, see your brother, and pester you." He motioned for her to walk with him.
"I'm not even going to rise to the bait. I'm seriously lacking in any intelligent conversations. The only things people here talk about are hay prices and how many days until winter." She leaned closer and touched him again to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. "Besides, I get you all to myself. Drew's out on business and won't be home until tomorrow."
"Damn. I'd hoped he'd be around." He pointed to the restored Camaro in the driveway of Drew's house behind the garage. "I wanted to see if he could check the muffler. It's riding rough, and sounds like it's made for the racetrack."
"Ugh. Don't talk cars. That's all I hear about twenty-four/seven. Between the gas station and Drew, I've heard enough to last a lifetime." She walked up the driveway, and noticed his bags lying by the front door. "I am so glad you're here."
"Maybe I should hit the motel." He stopped and put his hand on his car. "I'll come by tomorrow and spend some time with you both."
"Are you crazy?" She grabbed his hand. "I just said this place is boring me to tears. Stay at the house and fill me in on what's happening in the Emerald City. Then I want to pick your brain about places I can send my résumé and—" she swallowed "—afterward, I want to hear what is going on with you."

Begum Para seen as Sonam Kapoor's spirited grandmother in Sanjay Bhansali's Saawariya did films like Shama, Mehdi, Pedro and Dada in the 1940s. She then took the longest break ever after marrying the legendary Dilip Kumar's lesser-known brother Nasir Khan.
"That was in 1958," Begum Para, now a full 80, laughs throatily. "Now I'm back in 2007 in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya. This has got to be the longest lay-off in the history of show business…You know, in our film industry there's this old habit of typecasting actors. I was typecast as the so-called liberated woman. The roles were not interesting enough for me. They stamped me as the smoking libertine who ends up insulting her father," she laughs. "I didn't much enjoy that image. I was doing roles like Saira Banu in Manoj Kumar"s Purab Aur Paschim. I just lost interest. Then I got married to Nasir Khan (Dilip Kumar's brother)."
Saawariya is her comeback after 50 years! "The privilege and pleasure of working with Sanjay Bhansali egged me on to take this on. He never ties me down with his ideas. I'm allowed to say my dialogues the way I want. He gave me so much space! It was a real pleasure. Saawariya was an astonishing experience."
Hadn't her acting skills got rusted? "I don"t think they ever get rusted. I just needed to practice my acting again…It was very sweet of Sanjay to have even think of me. Initially, I was nervous for a couple of days. But once I settled down before the camera I had a whale of a time. Bahut mazaa aaya. It's like coming home. I'm open to more offers provided they make me comfortable."
She warms up on the topic of Salman Khan who co-stars with her in Saawariya. I"ve known him since childhood. I'm very friendly with his father Salim Saab. I was apprehensive about how today's generation behaves. When I expressed my misgivings to Sanjay Bhansali he assured me. 'Just come and see how we work.' And he was right. They all gave me so much love and respect. They were so sweet. Of course, technically cinema has advanced. But people are still the same. Jab insaan door rehta hai to pataa nahin kya-kya sochta hai. But after my return before the camera I felt I had never gone away."
She goes back in time to her prime. "It was a great era. Not like today when roles have become so ambivalent. There were definitely defined roles these days…There was the hero, heroine, vamp, father, mother, villain…very nice and uncomplicated. Yes, I was bold . Humlog ke zamaane mein, people used to be in awe of stars. Today of course, the active media has brought stars inside homes."
She has kept in touch with a number of people in the industry. "Nirupa Roy, Nadira, Nimmi, Shyama, Smriti Mishra…we used to meet once a month. Sadly, Nirupa and Nadira are gone. They were such fine human beings. I miss them both. Nadira was so warm and exuberant, Nirupa was sweetness personified. I"ve kept in touch with Nirupa's family."
Begum Para's son Ayub Khan is seen in cinema and on television. "I feel he hasn't got his dues. If you meet him you'll realize he isn't a filmy boy. When I urge him to meet producers he says, 'Whatever has to come my way will come way. By my going here and there I won"t achieve anything.' He's such a nice and gentle boy, comfortable with what he has."
About her mythic war with her brother-in-law Dilip Kumar, Begum Para laughs, "That's gone and done with. Now we're cordial and we do meet occasionally. Yes, we did have our differences. I suppose I was too independent-minded for him. If he was THE Dilip Kumar I was THE Begum Para….He was very close to my husband Nasir Khan. " She giggles over an anecdote about her husband and Meena Kumari while they were playing the lead in Kamal Amrohi's Daera. "Meena Kumari was in the foreground and he was in the background, so far away that he stood on his head and nobody noticed."

A Visit to The White House Garden & Beehive
Last week, Apartment Therapy traveled to Washington, D.C. for a visit to the most American home there is: The White House. And, while the interiors (and the new china) were absolutely, undeniably gorgeous, I felt that what was happening outside was just as smart, special and important to how many of us envision modern life at home. I'm talking about First Lady Michelle Obama's vegetable and pollinator gardens and the beehive that are located on the South Lawn. Here's my photo tour, including a list of pollinator-friendly plants and the complete spring planting plan...
The vegetable garden (also known as the kitchen garden) was started by Mrs. Obama and was the first of its kind on White House grounds since the victory garden grown during the Roosevelt administration.
Filled with healthy plants and in real, regular use for both food production and teaching, the raised bed garden provides sustenance for the White House and inspiration for all Americans to get growing and add healthy foods to their routine.
Last year, a beehive (a plan championed and maintained by the White House pastry chef Susan Morrison) was installed and, if the amount of bees I saw on the day that I visited is any indication, it's a booming success.
This spring, a brand new section to the east of the existing garden was added to call attention to the very serious plight of bees and other insects and birds beneficial to our food chain, called pollinators. The Pollinator Garden is filled with plants that are appealing to and provide a habitat for bees, wasps, beetles, birds, butterflies and moths.
To help others start their own pollinator gardens, the White House partnered with Burpee to provide a million (!) seed packets for pollinator-friendly plants free of charge to gardeners this summer. The first round of seed packets were given out at the White House Easter Egg Hunt and the balance will be distributed at National Parks.
If you are interested in adding pollinator-friendly plants to your garden, here is a list of what is included in the White House/Burpee seed collection:
- Yellow Sunflower (Helianthus annuus)
- Blue Perrennial Lupine (Lupinus perennis)
- Mixed Cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus)
- Mixed Zinnea (Zinnia elegans)
- Purple Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea)
- Scarlet Flax (Linum grandiflorum rubrum)
- Yellow Calendula (Calendula officinalis)
- White Annual Baby's Breath (Gypsophila elegans)
- Orange California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)
- Blue Lacy Phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia)
- Red Annual Gaillardia (Gaillardia pulchella)
- Red & Yellow Prairie Cone Flower (Ratibida columnifera)
- Blue Flax (Linum perenne)
- Orange Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa)
- Rose Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnate)
- Yellow Black Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta)
- Yellow and Red Plains Coreopsis (Coreopsis tinctoria)
- Mixed Blue Larkspur (Delphinium consolida)
- White Sweet Alyssum (Lobularia maritima)
- Red Wild Bergamot (Monarda fistulosa)
- Blue New England Astor (Aster novae-angliae)
And, finally, here is the early spring planting plan for the White House kitchen garden if you are interested in adding some presidential plants to your own garden this year:

A better mobile experience, everyone wants it. Especially your customers.
The eCommerce industry continues to grow every year and mobile shopping is growing right along with it.
Take this statistic from Internet Retailer for example. In June 2013, 55% of all e-retail occurred from a mobile device. That is huge!
In order to stay relevant, merchants need to be educated as to why they need a responsive site and how it should work.
eCommerce platform companies need to keep innovating and allowing for complete customizability. This in turn helps web designers and developers that aim to see their eCommerce business clients succeed in the billion dollar industry.
We've spoken to some experts that have shared their tips for designing a better m-Commerce experience.
The m-Commerce Experts Weigh In
Dan Griffiths
Built By Buffalo
People use their tablet or mobile in different situations, on the sofa or while out socialising. Keeping this in mind ensures that any relevancy about the products or service is communicated clearly to the user throughout the site.
Design for flow
Users should be able to find, evaluate and purchase an item as quickly as possible. While crucial on desktops, this is even more important on mobile – you have to reduce the barriers to a customer finalising an order. As images are a key tool for online sales, try to consider the best methods to allow users to browse through images seamlessly. Galleries and enlarged pictures are two important things to get right in particular.
[Tweet "For a better mCommerce experience, reduce the barriers to a customer finalising an order – @builtbybuffalo"]
Build for speed
Wherever possible, try to optimise your pages so that they load fast. Striking a balance of quality, against file size with images, is a great way of doing this along with removing unused Javascript and keeping the HTML/CSS as tight as possible. Even though a responsive approach works for many sites larger projects might benefit from a full mobile site to allow true optimisation and contextual content for mobile.
With mobile, we find people are often in 'research mode' over 'intent to buy mode' so providing a user experience that allows them to read, learn or investigate, will help push them along the buying funnel.
Any mobile development should be optimised for touch (thumb friendly!). Research how apps do this to generate ideas.
One final point would be to factor speed optimisation. Look at optimising content, code and the server you're on as people if using data roaming (not WiFi) to browse, don't bounce off your site!
Tim Brown
Snap Agency
Research has shown that search should take precedence over any extensive categorization on the home page for most sites. A key takeaway is that if people want to use your website a certain way, your bottom line will thank you if you feed their desire to get what they want quickly. Design for the way visitors want to use it and not how stakeholders in your organization tend to see it.
Because people are using different devices sequentially, don't limit your ideas of what's considered a conversion. People might start a transaction from their phone, but they absolutely need to be able to save their progress and move to another device, or e-mail themselves their progress.
Key takeaway; allow people using devices sequentially to continue their progress without too much interruption or repetition on another device. Respect the people using your websites time.

Evan Kosowski
Digital Operative
Rearranging element is much easier and time-effective than designing new elements specifically for mobile devices."
Frederick Haywood
[Tweet "#eCommerce sites must be responsive to offer customers a seamless experience on mobile – @dotcomweavers"]
Condensed Content
Content is king! Or at least, in this case, content simplified and direct as possible is king. While you want your customer to be able to read the same content from one device to another, the key on mobile device and their smaller screens is not to overcrowd and be more direct when describing your products. This may involve breaking up text over multiple pages.
Layout, Navigation and Functionality Simplified
Due to smaller screens on mobile devices, layout and navigation should be must simpler than your standard desktop version. Eliminate unnecessary graphical elements, menu buttons and images that may reduce optimal viewing on mobile devices. And even though you may be breaking up text over multiple pages, the key is to only provide enough details about your product and services that keep navigation easy. This may involve using a completely separate mobile navigation design optimized for touch screens or non-mouse devices.
Checkout Process Simplified
Reduce the number of steps it takes for buying your product or service by adding a guest checkout where a customer doesn't have to sign up for an account. If a customer is shopping on a mobile device, 9 out of 10 times he wants an expedited shopping experience. If your checkout is more than a couple of steps, display a progress bar that allows the customer to see how many steps remain. And with the advent of so many payment services, offer different ways to pay instead of just debit or credit cards. Google Wallet, PayPal and Amazon are leaders in alternative payment solutions.
Andrew Rudister
[Tweet "If you sell online, it's not enough to have an awesome site. To remain competitive, you need a great mobile version"]
Mobile users don't want to have to hunt down what they're looking for. It makes sense that visitors will quickly leave sites that are not user-friendly. That's why easy navigation for any eCommerce store is absolutely crucial. It should let customers find the product or information they need without any delays or difficulties. Clearly labeled tabs or categories are very helpful to visitors.
Sixty-seven percent of consumers say the quality of a product image is "very important" in selecting and making a purchase. Therefore, how visitors view your site is one of the most vital elements for any eCommerce site. Sites that lack responsive design could make viewing images difficult. Images sized properly and of good, clear quality can mean the difference between a sale or no sale. A 360-degree view of a product goes a step further in the customer experience by giving them an even better look at a product.
Easy Payments
Mobile customers aren't as likely to whip out their credit cards when making a purchase on their phones as they would on a computer. The fewer steps required to make a purchase on a phone the better. Cell phone users don't have the patience to try and hunt down the "check out" button or provide a lot of personal information. According to statistica.com, Paypal's mobile payment volume amounted to $27 billion U.S. dollars last year, almost double the amount in 2012. There's a reason why it's so popular. It's a one-stop-shop. Integrating Paypal or Google checkout, which is very similar, will make shopping a breeze for your customers.
The Bottom Line … When mobile customers look up your site on their mobile device, it should capture their attention immediately. After all, first impressions on the web are everything."
Guy Stradling
A package of work that is too often missed is an Insight & Planning phase and careful study of analytics. Get to know your mobile audience. Designers face lots of issues, but they're practical ones and should be answerable before starting a design. Solve it before you go to screen and don't make assumptions. Doing this package of work can set you apart from competitors, achieving something sticky and unique.
What some businesses don't realise is that time invested in the early stages of Insight & Planning can be a lot less expensive than getting your design wrong and living with the consequences. Human emotions play approximately 50% of the role in our buying decisions, so you need to understand the psychological triggers that make people respond to you and pull them through to a sales-ready position. It's complicated and it's not the sole responsibility of the designer to get this right.
- There's no such thing as an 'average user' – make your persona's real people and learn to understand the experience they want when shopping on their mobile. Consider also second screens, 'meerkating' and the habits of your mobile audience.
[Tweet "Human emotions play approximately 50% of the role in our buying decisions – @thinkingjuice"]
The rules to become better informed about your online business and the way you deal with transactions on mobile are these:
- Design for your audience, not who you think they are or who you want them to be.
- Don't expect the same behaviour on desktop to translate to mobile.
- Invest in Insight & Planning to change the unknowns about your audience.
- Should analytics and user testing say to change something, split test it and change it.
- Think two-dimensionally – how do you turn customers into loyal followers and repeat visitors?
- Keep one eye on technology and one eye on your competitors. Stay in front.
- Plan the growth of your digital business only 12 months ahead. Keep analysing it.
- Never be happy with a conversion rate.

Mobile customers typically spend less time on-site so retailers should look to compress the customer experience to reflect the available space/time in a way that meets or exceeds expectations.
Delivering customer convenience on mobile devices is a function of great design.
For example, look to make product search and navigation as intuitive as possible so customers can easily find products. Also, look to communicate that the checkout process is streamlined (but make sure that if you promise a "One-minute checkout" you can deliver on this).
[Tweet "Streamline your #eCommerce checkout process for a better mobile experience – @wearehumaan"]
Users browsing via mobile often want an easy way to make contact with a retailer. Again, design choices that facilitate this via a prominent "call" or "view map" buttons save time for customers looking for phone support or a physical store location.
Making life easier for your customers will lead to a positive brand perception, providing a valuable edge over the competition and shifting the focus away from price-driven strategies."

Add larger pictures and more of them. Don't rely on pinch and zoom. If you want clients to convert on a mobile device you have to make the picture big and have multiple close up pictures of the product. Mobile devices are small, so you have to work hard to make the experience easy.
Make your Buy button huge. We see this often. All of the product information and options and a tiny Buy button at the bottom. You have to make it easy for people to buy your product on mobile. Increase the size of that Buy buttons target area and take up the width of the screen.

Take some time and dig into your eCommerce stores analytics. It offers a tremendous amount of information about what your customers are doing. Hopefully, these tips help increase your conversions on your next eCommerce store!

I. Purpose
To establish a coordinated system of cultivating and soliciting donors so that multiple or overlapping solicitations do not occur.
II. Scope
Any UNC Asheville faculty or staff member, student, volunteer, member or representative of a UNC Asheville center, department, division or related institution.
III. Policy
All solicitations for private support will be approved in concept by the Vice Chancellor or most senior official in the reporting line. The Vice Chancellor or most senior official in the reporting line will then confer with the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement who will then evaluate the concept, review the prospective names to be solicited, and offer staff support as indicated.
The proposed project and names of identified prospects should be submitted in writing to the respective Vice Chancellor. If there is an Associate Vice Chancellor in the reporting line, the request may first be given to this person. In the Athletic Department, all requests will be presented to the Athletic Director.
Students, student groups or individuals representing student organizations will request preliminary clearance from the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, or designee.
Members of the Faculty, or Academic Departments, or staff in Academic Affairs will request preliminary clearance from the Provost, or designee.
Senior officials named above will then refer requests to the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement if the requests are within the priority funding areas of the University. Names of all identified prospects will be reviewed for conflicts with other ongoing initiatives, and a finalized list of authorized names will be shared with the originating office.
In certain cases, the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement will refer requests to members of University Advancement for assistance in the following areas:
A. Past relationship history of the prospect with the University.
B. On-line information and research materials to investigate the prospect.
C. Detailed professional prospect research to provide helpful information for purposes of solicitation.
D. Strategies for effective solicitation and stewardship after the solicitation.
E. Direct assistance in solicitation and stewardship.
F. Assistance in identifying additional or alternative prospects.
It is important to understand that the Division of University Advancement does not determine University priorities. A coordinated system of prospect clearance is essential for the growth of resources in our University. This system is designed to provide clear lines of responsibility and simplicity of clearance. For more information contact the Division of University Advancement, 828.251.6881.
A Note on Grants
The Office of Sponsored Scholarship and Programs serves as the central coordination point for all research and sponsored program grants and contacts. If there is any doubt or confusion about the appropriate office to assist with a request, the Office of Sponsored Scholarship and Programs and the Vice Chancellor for University Advancement together will provide clarification.

This week, Michael Surtees showed off his World Cup rig—the gear that he's watching the matches on. When we saw the picture, it got us thinking. What kind of set-up are you using to get your football fixes?
Given that many people around the world will be using their mobile devices to access the games, it's fair to say that the TV won't be the only screen in use—a fan needs a steady diet of news, social media, and statistics, after all.
So we're teaming up with Gizmodo to find out how this World Cup is being "experienced." Whether you're sitting pitch-side in South Africa, at a local bar, or hiding a secret screen from your boss at work, we want to know. Send photos of however and wherever you're watching to: firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.
We'll show off the entries later this week. Best one wins a penalty shoot-out, with Robert Green in goal, the highlights of which may or may not be shown on ITV HD channel. [Flickr]

indict george w. bush...
George W. Bush, how do you plead?
The keyboard is mightier than the machine gun... The political, philosophical and general outpourings of a troubled soul living in Australia and blogging his Vietnam veteran's head off.
Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...
I'm utterly frustrated with political activism/protest/dissent in this country. In particular those espousing nonviolence.That was over a month ago. So far, no reply...
One aspect of this is expressed by me on my blog - here >>>
Then there is this whole issue of where the boundaries are to what is considered violent or unacceptable behaviour during protests/demonstrations/direct actions.
Examples of what I mean - For me it is *not* acceptable to:
* Taunt, provoke, vilify, spit at, or in any way use violence against police, etc.
* Intrude upon, damage, vandalise, destroy any private or government property or physcal installation. e.g. tearing down barrier fences, occupying premises etc.
* Stop lawful enterprises from going about their business except via peaceful, nonviolent mass protest on public space (e.g. streets.)
I'm saying that due to the times in which we currently live (and the rights of others), we need to get A LOT SMARTER in how we express dissent and mount protest actions. There's so much more but I don't know how to adequately articulate it right now, but I guess my ideas are too way out - which is why I am not getting directly involved in any movements.
If you want to debate/discuss this, then maybe this is enough for openers.
(Anti-Iraq war) protesters could easily be deemed to be being disloyal (that was the thrust of Howard's comments, after all) or of indirectly inciting terrorism.As an anti-war activist, that's exactly the bit I'm most concerned about. Since when is shutting down dissent the action of a democratic government?
I'm often asked how big Australia's population should be. 25 million? 30 million? 50 million?Jenny's talk continues here >>>
"Ten million," I reply.

You can directly make silage from a hay bale by using a bale wrapper.
To earn money, you need to sell what you produce (crops, animals and their products, wood).
It is recommended to always start working a field from its shostest side. This will save you unnecessary turns.

Bitter cold produces record-high gas deliveries
Increased usage will spur higher energy bills compared to last winter.
Indianapolis, Ind. – Extreme temperatures the last half of December 2017 through the first half of January this year have led to gas usage in volumes of record delivery. Gas delivered through Vectren's 13,300-mile pipeline network to its 587,000 customers in central Indiana from December 15, 2017 through January 15, 2018 is projected to be the highest every delivered.
"It goes without saying the bitter cold weather has forced furnaces to work harder, and the spike in gas deliveries demonstrates just how cold it's has been over the past few weeks," said Mike Roeder, president of Vectren Energy Delivery of Indiana – North.
The average customer will see a bill that is around 30 percent higher than the bill they received during this same four-week period last year.
"With usage up this sharply, customers will see higher bills than last winter, and we encourage those that are challenged to pay to reach out to us for payment options," added Roeder. "On a positive note, low gas prices and reliable delivery prove that natural gas is a great solution for customers, even in the bitter cold when a record volume was delivered. Safe and reliable delivery is enhanced with the Smart Energy Future infrastructure projects that Vectren continues to perform on our energy delivery system."
Customers who need assistance managing costs should contact Vectren at 1-800-227-1376. Qualifying customers can set up a payment arrangement whereby they can pay the bill in smaller increments over a set period of time. This is a free service with no interest charges. In addition, Vectren can offer guidance on income-qualified energy assistance. Energy efficiency tips and resources can be found at Vectren.com/saveenergy.

Lord of the Rings Actor Had Goblin Nightmares
25 May 2001
Sean Bean says he had nightmares about goblins and dwarves while filming the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
The actor says he could not escape from the film's fantasy creatures during the 18 months of filming.
Bean plays the warrior Boromir in the £200 million adventure based on the books by J R R Tolkien.
The trilogy of films were all shot on location in isolated regions of New Zealand and on a pre-built set in Wellington.
Bean, 42, says: "Wherever you turned all you saw were elves or Hobbits or their tiny homes. There was no escape.
"At night you had dreams and nightmares. It was an all-consuming thing, a passion shared by everyone."
The first movie in the trilogy, The Fellowship Of The Ring, is being released in the UK just before Christmas.

UConn baseball coach Jim Penders earned his 300th career win Tuesday when the Huskies dropped Hartford, 11-6, for their fifth straight victory.
"An awful lot of players had a lot to do with those wins," Penders said. "(Assistant Coach) Chris Podeszwa has probably more to do with any of them than anybody. I'm fortunate to have great assistant coaches and great players. Players win games, coaches don't."
L.J. Mazzilli (double) went 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to 13 games. Joe Testani was 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored, Billy Ferriter was 2-for-6 with two RBIs and Eric Yavarone (double) went 2-for-4 with two RBIs and two runs for UConn (11-11).
Avery Point 18
Roxbury CC 0 (5)
GROTON — Rob Rizzitelli allowed just two hits and had nine strikeouts in a complete-game shutout to spark the Pointers in a blowout win.

Ex-Redman takes loss
FITCHBURG — Killingly graduate Randy Ortiz took the loss for Fitchburg state in a 10-3 setback against UMass-Boston. He allowed six runs (five earned) on nine innings in three innings.
Salve Regina 0 (6)-1
MANSFIELD — Kassondra Silva came within an out of her first complete game since 2010 in the second game of a doubleheader sweep and ended the first game with a two-run homer in the sixth inning due to the eight-run rule.
It was the Warriors' (11-1) first true home games after playing for two seasons at UConn while their facility was under construction.
Molly Rathbun set a program record with her 38th career shutout in the first game after striking out 11 batters without a walk.
Native helps out
DANBURY — Griswold graduate Nina Wojtkiewicz scored a run to help Western Connecticut State beat Westfield State, 4-3, in the second game of a doubleheader.
Ex-Lancer scores
NORTON, Mass. — Waterford's Katelyn Sykora scored a run to help Rhode Island College overcome a 2-0 first-inning deficit in a 5-4 win over Wheaton in the first game of a twinbill.

The pool and this great forum are both new to me. Hope my question hasn't been answered already. If it has, I missed it. I've read quite a bit on the forum and hope to be an expert soon!
Our pool was just installed this year and I guess I'm still working on getting everything adjusted just right. The problem that I'm having is stains on the fiberglass. There are several stains that are on the walls and floor of the pool that are round. There is also some discoloration on the steps in the shallow end. All the stains are light brownish or dull yellowish in color. More of a discoloration than a color. The sides of the pool are mostly covered in a layer of dirt that is almost impossible to brush off but I keep working on that with the brush, a sponge mop and Soft Scrub. I also have a dirt ring around the water line almost all the time. As soon as I clean it off, a few hours later it returns. I'm really asking for help (at least now) with the staining and am giving the other info in case it offers any helpful clues. We had several inches of rain today and when I vaccuumed tonight, I THINK the staining is worse.
The pool is white fiberglass San Juan. It was filled during construction mostly with the ground water that was pumped out from under it. The PB added "flocking" twice to clear it up. The water is beautifully clear now.
I only have the test strips given to me by the PB but here are the result:
Free Clorine: 3
Total Clorine: 3
Total Hardness: 250 - PB JUST brought this up from 100.
Pool is 16x44 IG Fiberglass w/1 1/2 HP Hayward pump and DE filter. There is a Heatwave IceBreaker heat pump and something called Heatsavr which is like a magical invisible solar blanket.

Many bodybuilders may claim that strength is not important because nobody can see it on stage anyway. That is almost correct. It surely does not depend on comparing yourself to other bodybuilders with respect to strength. Your gauge is your own strength. If your workout partner lifts 180 kg while you can manage only 140 kg, it may be that your partner simply has better leverage. But the stronger you are, the more you can stimulate growth in your muscles. After all maximum growth is what counts. KREA-GENIC gives you a hand for more muscles and more strength. You'll make a hell of a team achieving monstrous mass.
KREA-GENIC absorption booster on board By using the sodium dependant transport mechanism a quicker absorption is possible. A molecule requires two sodium molecules to increase the "mold velocity" of creatine into the cell by 50%. KREA-GENIC contains the optimal value of sodium, tied to the creatine. This value "presses" the creatine into the muscle cell in a natural way.

I'm not sure what you are referring to here. To clarify, the problem we were seeing with the openldap 2.0.14 currently used by Globus is that for reasons we have not yet determined er_int_sb_write() was failing but with errno=0. eg in syslog: slapd[18648]: ber_flush failed errno=0 reason="Success" slapd[18648]: send_ldap_response: ber write failed The error check in ber_flush results in the errno=0 being considered a fatal error. Effectively, the default behavior when ber_flush fails is to the abort unless errno is either EWOULDBLOCK or EAGAIN. I still have to dig deeper to find out why the lower level sb_write() is failing but returning a zero error code, so perhaps our 'fix' is really more of a workaround... Thanks for your response. I'll forward the changes you are making to the Openldap CVS to the Globus folks. - Gareth Gareth S. Bestor, PhD.

The changes are committed to the CVS HEAD. However, the code should never try to flush an empty buffer; every code path that drops into result.c:send_ldap_ber() (which invokes ber_flush) should have filled the ber structure with data. There is likely something else going wrong. There are no references to EWOULDBLOCK in ber_flush, so I have ignored that part of your suggested fixes.

Joe Arpaio: My Tents Are HILTON HOTELS Compared to What's Going On at Illegal Immigrant Camps (Video)
"Joe's Jail"– Tent Jail in Maricopa County Arizona
Sheriff Joe Arpaio weighed in on the humanitarian crisis at the southern border Friday with Neil Cavuto. Arpaio said his prison tent camps were "Hotel Hiltons" compared to what's going on at the illegal immigrant facilities.
"As I mentioned we have four thousand illegal immigrants in the jails that I run, including a tent city jail. So why not put up tents, at least for those that 15, 16, 17 and put them all in tents. In fact when you look at how they are being incarcerated by the federal government my tents are Hilton hotels comparing to what they're doing down there. But for six years the Department of Justice has been investigating me. They should be investigating what's going on right now."

It just keeps getting worse
My Dr asked for approval for more Botox, so we're just waiting or the "OK". I can't believe how bad my dystonia is now. It gets a little worse after each treatment. My neck is really twisted up now. At least I shouldn't have to wait too long for my next treatment. I'm going to ask my Dr to do inject most of it on the left side (my head turns to the right, among other things), because (apparently) that's the way it should be done.
The pain can be bad at times, but it doesn't last long. Since I usually work just 4 hours a day, it's just mildly annoying. All I need to do is stretch my neck for a few seconds, and I'm good to go - for a while. :)
I really should do more stretching and posture exercises, but there are times when I just get sick and tired of exercising several times a day. At least I do some exercises twice a day every day. I need to do more, though. I also need to do more research into what other people with cervical dystonia are doing. There's bound to be someone who found something useful. Since the only way I can get online now is by going to Starbucks for their free WiFi (2 hours with a food or drink purchase), I can't get online as often as I need to. Oh well. I'll post after my next treatment, if not sooner.

I went to a BBQ place in 1999 in the Raleigh-Durham area and can't remember the name of it. I was driven there by a friend attending school in the area (who I've lost touch with).
From my recollection, it was in a large converted white house off the beaten path. The structure was fairly open inside to allow for seating.
You had to wait in line before you were seated and there were a large number of celebrity photos near the line. I particularly recall a number of pictures of the New York Yankees from the 70's or 80's who apparently must have visited this restaurant. Maybe we had to cross some train tracks to get there?
I also recall having an endless supply of hush puppies (my first!) brought to the table. Perhaps this last piece describes many of the BBQ places in the area.
I've wondered for years what the name of the place that served me my first hush puppy was!
Hopefully this is enough to go on - thanks in advance.

A pinochle deck has 48 cards. The deck consists of only two copies each of the 9, 10, jack, queen, king and ace cards in each suit.
In order to make a pinochle deck, players need two separate decks of cards in order to obtain two copies of each required card in each suit. To play, the dealer deals 12 cards to each player in packs of three or four at a time and then reveals one card from the top of the remaining deck on each turn. The object of the game is to receive the highest amount of points through different combinations of cards, or tricks.

My opponent has forfeited and failed to provide any support for capitalism, so I will outline my argument briefly.
Capitalism is an unjust and unequal system. For one, capitalism requires a state, a monopoly of violence, in order to protect the private property rights of individuals. Unwarranted violence in the form of a state is not acceptable.
Second, is that capitalism allows for private property rights--the means of production. Trees, rivers, mountains in a capitalist system are all owned by someone. In a socialist world, all land belongs to everybody, and democracy is used in order to decide what to do with that land. In a capitalist world, whoever has the biggest army can claim any land for themselves and have complete control over it (such as early white settlers genociding Natives).
Lastly, is that socialism is about benefiting everyone. Decisions are made based on what will best benefit all people. Capitalism makes decisions based on profit, with no regard to human life.

Usually teams that exhibit strong practice habits win ball games.
Such was the case for the No. 5 Dufur football team.
Cole Parke and Nick Little rushed for more than 100 yards and a combined five touchdowns, and the Rangers scored the first 60 points in their 60-16 victory Friday in Big Sky Conference gridiron play in Echo.
"We had by far our best week of practice this week and probably our best performance of the season tonight," said Dufur head coach Jack Henderson. "Our starters came out and dominated in each phase of the game. Our younger kids are improving daily and stepping up as valuable depth for the second half of the season."
The Rangers scored four times in the opening quarter, using two jaunts by Little (70 yards, 65) sandwiched by touchdowns from Trever Tibbets (25) and Parke (15) to go ahead by a 32-0 margin.
Staked by their healthy advantage, the Rangers hit paydirt four more times in the second quarter to swell the lead up to 60-0.
The host Cougars made the fans happy with a kickoff return to make it 60-8 at the break.
Freshman Bailey Keever jumpstarted that surge with a 37-yard scamper, Parke kicked out a 30-yard run and Tibbets scored his second touchdown of the game to make it 54-0 with time running out in the second frame.
Finally, Parke hit the trifecta with a 43-yard scoring run to cap the barrage.
Down by 52 points midway through the third quarter, Echo hit the end zone again on a long run by Devin Sather.
Little led all running backs with 169 yards and two touchdowns, and Park went for eight carries for 115 and his three trips to the end zone.
Tibbets had five rushes for 89 yards, and speedster, Jon Keyser, added eight totes for 53 yards.
Dufur ran 29 plays and amassed 457 yards, 426 yards rushing, and through the air, Parke completed 2 of 3 passes for 31 yards.
Nick Little had a 23-yard grab and Tibbets made one catch go for eight yards.
"The offensive line established early that our backs weren't going to be getting hit anywhere near the line of scrimmage," Henderson added. "We scored on the second play from scrimmage, and all of our scoring plays came on short drives. We have multiple weapons that can go the distance on any play."
With an unblemished record of 5-0, the Rangers (2-0 Big Sky Conference) now have a tough test at 7 p.m. Friday for a non-league tussle versus St. Paul (2-3) on Homecoming night.
The Buckaroos are coming off a 60-0 shutout win over Ione.
"There is always a ton of interest when Dufur and St Paul get together, probably the best two programs in the state over the last 20 years," Henderson said. "(It) should be a great game."
In other eight-man football play this past weekend, the Sherman Huskies suffered a 44-14 setback at home against the Triad Timberwolves.

There was a FAKE news circulating that the UAE authorities have stopped issuing visas to Pakistanis. The UAE Immigration Department has denied this. So, all those planning to visit Dubai for celebrating the New Year are welcome. Remember, this year there will be no fireworks at Burj al Arab only a light display so it is best to make a beeline for the talest building in the world - Burj Khalifa.
The best time to get to the venue is before 6pm. After that all the choice spots are gone. Restaurants are selling tables for extremely high rates so do not expect to have a ringside seat without coughing out $$s.

Target.com Goes Green
It's an idea that's becoming more common, and we applaud it. We're not sure when it happened, but we recently noticed that Target's website now has a dedicated Eco-Friendly department. Products include: organic bedding and bath towels, hemp rugs, furniture made with FSC/Rainforest Alliance-certified SmartWood, recycled paper goods, and energy-efficient appliances.
We're guessing WalMart won't be far behind? Somehow we missed this: WalMart also has a green section. Hooray for bringing eco-friendly and affordable products to the masses!

Orner anatomizes family relationships with precision in a novel that spans three—and touches on four—generations.
At the center of the author's examination is Alexander Popper, a fiction writer manqué (he tries in vain to write a "good, sad story") and reluctant law-school graduate who winds up handling misdemeanor cases for the Cook County Public Defender. His lack of professional accomplishments does not, however, define him as much as his failed relationship with Kat, whom he meets at the University of Michigan. Although they never get married, they eventually have a daughter, Ella. We also learn of Alexander's exceptional brother, Leo, and their parents, Miriam and Philip, whose unhappy relationship, owing to Philip's cheating with a family friend, blights Alexander as well as his mother. (Miriam is forced to take temporary jobs such as census taker and lackey in a real-estate office.) And going back yet one more generation, Orner introduces us to Seymour and Bernice. They work their way to prosperity and then see it decline because of some morally questionable business practices on Seymour's part. These are profoundly unhappy people, trying to make it yet living their lives in such a way as to make unhappiness inevitable. Orner approaches his narrative with a nonlinear chronology, moving back and forth from Seymour's wartime notes to Bernice, to Alex's adolescent peccadilloes, to Alex's letters to Ella. The result is a masterful, multifaceted novel.
Readers will find both love and shame in abundance in Orner's teeming fictional world.

foster guidelines
Now that you have your foster pet, these are tools and reminders to help ensure a smooth transition for a dog or cat that has experienced the chaos of shelter life to in-home foster care. Please provide the animal with good and loving care as though it were your own pet, including but not limited to food, water, shelter and medication when required. Please read over the section Fostering your second chance pal on our website.
Behavior modification and socialization
Remember, that a shelter animal coming into your home for the first time may be overly excited or, on the other hand, withdrawn. While it gets used to the new environment, there may be accidents that occur. In the first few days, be sure to take a dog outside especially after meals and before bedtime. Praise (maybe even giving a treat) when they void where appropriate.
For cats be sure to provide a clean and accessible cat litter box and show the cat where this box is located. If you have three or more cats in the house, you should have multiple litter boxes.
Please do include the animal in the daily family activities. Getting them used to being in a family environment will pay big dividends in finding their forever home.
Crate Training
This may be an option in a foster's home especially for a large dog or one that is having issues of soiling indoors. It also provides the dog a safe respite from an active family. Please see article How to Crate Train Your Dog online.
Exercise/special needs
Some breeds need more exercise than others, but active play time twice a day is advised for the health of the dog. Please take along pickup bags if you are out for a walk with your foster pet.
Cats need playtime and stimulating toys or access to a window where they can have peaceful moments.
If you currently have family pets, please feed your foster pet on the same schedule as your own pets: once or twice a day. Since your foster came from a shelter experience, in the beginning we suggest that you feed him/her in a protected area (suggestion: laundry room or bathroom) without interruption from other animals.
In the beginning, it is advisable that you feed the animal the same food as they were fed in the shelter and transition to your own food over time by gradually combining a little of new food at each meal. If you notice digestive issues, back off giving less of the new food.
All dogs have been vaccinated, spayed/neutered, microchipped and will be provided heartworm protection that should be given as prescribed.
If there is an emergency during off hours or on weekends and you are unable to reach the shelter manager, call one of the following emergency clinics:
It has been shown that foster pets are much more adoptable and readily accepted by breed-specific rescues if they can be highlighted with reports of behavior and photos.
When participating with your foster dog in MCFA-sponsored events, adoptathons, or your own outings (Petco, PetsMart, family gatherings, etc.), please remember to record the event with a photo or two. It would be helpful too, if you would wear your second chance pals t-shirt and perhaps, if the dog will allow, have it wear the will love for a good home sign. Take along a couple of sample adoption forms as well as second chance pals business cards with your phone number and email address written on the card to pass out to interested people.
Cute photos of cats are very helpful as well in helping them find their forever home.
Safety for you and your family is a priority. If a dog or cat seems to exhibit aggressive or extreme anxiety, please call the shelter immediately. If a dog fight ensues, do not ever place yourself in between the two or more animals. Please visit link Fostering Your Second Chance Pal and reference Introduction to your pets for more complete information. This is especially important if you have young children or other pets living at home.
For the safety of your own pets, as a foster you should keep them up to date on their own vaccinations.
Sleeping arrangements
While many of us prefer to keep our dogs inside, there may be an ideal circumstance where you are able to provide a safe environment outside in a fenced yard when the weather is good. You should have a clean dog house with comfortable bedding and access to fresh drinking water. It is especially important that outdoor dogs be kept up to date on heartworm preventative. During the winter months, SCP requires that all foster dogs be kept in an indoor area.
All foster cats will be housed indoors.
Status reports
Each foster should plan to submit a report about the status of the animal in their care. These reports are valuable in finding suitable adopters, help us promote the animal as factually as possible and will help solve problems that may have arisen.
The first report is due after the first week of in-home fostering; the next one is due after having the pet in your home for 30 days or when required from the shelter due to a potential adoption. We would like for the adopter to have as much information about their new pet as possible.
If you have pets and take them on vacation, please take your foster pet with you as well. If you choose to do so, it is important that you have a good photo readily available should you need it. Also important is a visible tag that the dog can wear that has your contact information even if it has been microchipped.
If you board your own dogs or have a pet sitter, please do so for your foster; otherwise there may be a foster family that is willing to pet sit for you. Your last resort should be to bring the dog back to the shelter.

to take the deduction: Stray Cat Strut, Woman Beats IRS

Latvian or Lettish lĕt´ĭsh [key], a language belonging to the Baltic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Baltic languages ). The mother tongue of close to 3 million persons living chiefly in Latvia, Latvian first became that country's official language in 1918, the year in which Latvian independence was won. In the pronunciation of Latvian, stress is placed on the first syllable of a word. Grammatically, both nouns and verbs are highly inflected. Since 1922, Latvian has used the Roman alphabet (supplemented by several diacritical signs) for writing. The oldest surviving texts in Latvian date from the late 16th cent.

Sixx - Sister Devil
Get this. Get this. Get this. Get this. Get this.
Sixx = members of Von playing Joy Division-esque black metal. First recorded in 1991 but not widely distributed until 2009, Sister Devil is just so dark and bleak and perfect.
"The lo-fi atmosphere and an almost tentative approach to the songs are complimented and tied together by creepy spoken interludes by frontman Goat ... that sound like 'found' recordings of a killer's last confession."
Under natural light of white
Sitting with jointed fingertips
A voice which hums
Lost deep within the magic of the circle

. . . and other truths.
This week:
My favorite came to visit. He left before I wanted to kill him 'cause he's cool like that.
My least favorite 'aunt' is also visiting. Urgh.
I mentally plotted my next scene.
I cried in church . . . again (there is just something about that place).
I went to a bookstore and bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Peter and the Starcatchers, Fade, The Hunger Games, A Hat Full of Sky, Graceling, and I already had Catching Fire, because I'm a ninny and accidentally bought it before the first book.

So...everything is in German now.
This is going to be short, because it's late here and I'm tired, but I wanted to update.
I don't have pictures yet, my camera battery died, but my dad took a bunch of photos here and he said he'd email me a couple. So I'm going to hold off on stories until I get pictures to accompany. Stay tuned for Jesus with a really visible scrotum and other exciting tales of my adventure in Innsbruck.
I have a job, an office with a view that would make the world's richest CEO's jealous and a temporary place to stay. I am registered as a U.S. citizen living in Innsbruck, a student at the University of Innsbruck and am on my way to a bank account of my very own and a residence permit.
I am often terrified, lonely and sad. I can't talk to my damn boyfriend without crying. That's my latest goal--make it through a conversation without accumulating obnoxiously gross amounts of snot in my nose. It's one day at a time. I'd be lying if I said I never thought about just packing it all up and leaving, just 3 days in.
But I can't. I didn't go all this way to bitch out. If my relationship with...a certain really special person suffers, it would have suffered if I were in Boulder. As it stands, it's actually kind of powerful to be able to communicate regularly with someone across the planet.
I get by. It's really easy to get exercise around here, since I have to walk or bus everywhere. Goal for this weekend: get a bike. I've been mooching off of my dad for food, but he leaves tomorrow and I'll have to fend for myself. But they have broccoli here, and meat. I'm set.
It's really pretty here, the weather has been nice.
I'm going to bed now, though. Going to read a bit then pass out nicely.
Adios, amigos. Thanks for reading. That was a post relatively free of naughty language, IMO.
