We bought a house! Ain't no thang. Just a couple kids being grown ups and stuff.
And then Julianne got married!…..
…in Saint Thomas. It totally didn't suck.
We LOVE Polaroids. (This was also when I embraced the fact that I need to do a whole lot more arm work. Tricep dips, I'm comin' for ya!)
I went back to Cape Cod for another round of life guarding at the BEAUTIFUL Herring Cove Beach (if you haven't been to Provincetown before, turn off your computer and go now, please)! And I couldn't have asked for a better summer family. They make being away from home much easier to bear!
We worked SUPER hard….
…and this guy and I came out of our swimming retirement (I don't even want to tell you how many years after the fact) and wound up not embarrassing ourselves too bad! (Yeah….those medals mean we're awesome. NBD.)
The arrival of the newest main man of my life happened. Believe it or not, HE GETS CUTER! You'll see.. (Clarification- baby Flynn belongs to my best friend, Katy. My babies have 4 legs and fur.)
August brought my return to Houston…and rekindled my love affair for sky porn.
September was relatively uneventful- let's move on to October…
First run of the Houston Marathon Warm-Up Series. Rainy, rainy day. So many wardrobe malfunctions and an irritated IT band meant no PR for me. But the beer at the end helped ease my sorrows. Bonus- the medal was pretty sweet!
We saw Alkaline Trio. Remember how much I love them?! You can probably see in Matt Skiba's face how much he loves me back.
I participated in my second 70.3. This was taken before the start with my sweet friend Jessica. It was a brutally tough race for me which taught me that I need a WHOLE lot more work on the bike. Lesson learned. Jessica, however, KILLED it!! So proud of her!
I was blessed to have some sweet friends out there along the run course cheering me on. Thank God, because I definitely don't think I would have made it. Thanks, Jimmy and Diane (not shown)!
A couple weeks later brought the second race in the Warm-Up Series- 25k, baby! This time I had some beautiful friends to run it with! (AND more free beer at the end! Yes!) (Note- Jimmy and Diane got engaged the VERY NEXT DAY! That's why you can really feel the smitteness in this picture. They're so great!)
After 25 kilometers of fun, we met the rest of the Team for brunch. This is the greatest group of people to come into my life. You'll see.
This smile happened.
And then Donnie and I celebrated our second anniversary and Thanksgiving in Disney World.
Bubbles, pizza (not shown), and a/my cute boy in a hoodie. These are a few of my favorite things!
(To all who come to this happy place- Welcome.)
Officer Bradford picked me (and Martha) up! He does this all the time, but I'm pretty sure Martha and I are his favo pick up. (Disclaimer- that statement is my own opinion and is not based on fact or anything mentioned by Officer Bradford himself. But I mean, seriously- check out those smiles.) So much happiness!
Third and final race of the Warm-Up Series- Sugarland 30k with some of the Team! It was a beautiful, but COLD, day for the run, and everyone did great!
My last race of 2013- the 12k of Christmas. (Note- Timmy requires jumping pictures after every race. I can't blame him- check out that air and form!) Christmas Carolers at every stop, Santa at the finish line, good friends along the way...
…and free beer at the end with my sweet friend, Misty! Not a bad way to race out the year!
This was at the conclusion of our final long training run for the Houston. Never in my life have I had SUCH a blast running 20+ miles! There were adventures, hills, and just so much laughter!
Donnie and I flew up to New Hampshire to ring out 2013 with my parents and friends. We visited my daddy at his work, and I got to touch a lot of buttons and knobs on a fire truck. (Side note- this is going to be my dad's 30th year on the line!! This man just loves a good fire fight!)
Donnie also got to meet my summer family. Boy it felt so good to see them! Look how well everyone cleans up! Love them so much!
Remember when I said he gets cuter?! Told ya. I absolutely cannot go to New Hampshire without seeing my bestie. And that importance is now magnified ten-fold now that Flynn is in the picture! I can't believe how fast these things grow!!
Next up, a Houston Marathon re-cap… Stay tuned!

Having a great looking, full featured site isn't enough. Your content must be updated, managed, and displayed in a consistent and readable way. We handle website maintenance ranging from a few small tweaks a month up to our Concierge service which can often replace an employee for a fraction of the cost! To select the right Website Maintenance package for your organization use the form to the right or call us directly at 1-888-443-4065.
Each website maintenance plan includes an hourly allowance for work services. Support is free with your hosting and does not use maintenance hours. If work requested is likely to exceed your hourly remaining allowance you will be asked to approve additional time in hour increments based on that plan's Additional Hours rate. Work performed is measured in fifteen minute segments. Graphic development is not measured in time, see below for graphic design pricing.
Selecting a website maintenance plan will charge you the fixed plan cost each month. There's no terms or contract requirements and you may upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time.
For particularly busy months or unexpected surges in website activity you can purchase additional maintenance time corresponding with your maintenance plan's additional hour rate. Additional hours are purchased in half hour increments.
Corporate, Enterprise, and Concierge plans include graphic credits you can use for custom design work. Because graphic design varies in effort and complexity, larger designs may use more than one graphic credit. Use the chart to the right as a guide in planning your graphic design. Note: You may use graphic credits as a discount when you have insufficient credits for an entire design.
Choosing which hosting plan can be a little unsettling, but don't worry, you can upgrade or downgrade at any time.
We don't have a "B Team" just for maintenance. In other words, the same artists and programmers who built your site are the ones who will be regularly updating your site. We will work with speed and excellence to complete your updates.
With that in mind, here are some general case scenarios and the approximate completion time. All requests are rounded up to 15 minute intervals, so it's always best to send smaller updates together, rather than one at a time.
We're equipped to handle virtually any request related to your site, but we'll always let you know if there's something borderline before we begin. Check out the list below for a general guideline. Not sure? Feel free to ask us.

Malvern business grows with new graduate grant scheme
A local business has been the first to reap the benefits from a new graduate grant scheme.
Cytoplan, a science-based supplement company based in Hanley Swan, were struggling to attract graduates for their expanding marketing team, but thanks to a new partnership between Graduate Advantage and Malvern Hills District Council they found their newest recruit.
Rose Buckland from Colwall initially started on a three-month internship through the scheme, but enjoyed the role so much that the company offered her a permanent job, with help from a £2,000 grant from Malvern Hills District Council towards salary and training costs.
The new scheme helps Malvern Hills businesses recruit young people with the skills that will enable them to grow and develop their business.
Businesses can claim £1,000 towards the costs of recruiting for a year in industry placement for students from the University of Worcester Business School, and between £250 - £2,000 to recruit to a new graduate level job through the Graduate Advantage programme.
Jeremy Hawkey, CEO of Cytoplan said: "Recruiting graduates has always been difficult for us and can prove expensive. However, we've found Graduate Advantage is as good as any commercial recruitment agency, but without the fees. It provides small businesses like us with access to talented graduates. We were able to offer Rose a great learning and development plan in her first year, which included training from a London-based PR and communications agency, Google analytics and video marketing practical courses and mentoring and support from marketing manager, Simon Holdcroft".
Rose Buckland, Marketing Assistant said: "I'm so pleased that I registered for the graduate scheme. It gave me the opportunity to begin my marketing career in my local area. I didn't think for one minute I'd be able to find my first graduate job so close to home and I love every minute of it. I've been given so many opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in marketing; I am really excited about what the future has to offer".
Cllr Phil Grove, Leader of Malvern Hills District Council said: "Cytoplan are just another example of the fantastic businesses we have tucked away in our hills and valleys, and I'd urge every young graduate to register with Graduate Advantage, to find out about the great opportunities we have here".

RaboDirect PRO12
Visser spearheads Dream Team selection
ESPNscrum Staff
May 3, 2012
Edinburgh's Tim Visser is the leading try scorer in this season's RaboDirect PRO12 © Getty Images
Edinburgh winger Tim Visser has capped another fine season with selection in the RaboDirect PR12 Dream Team - the third year in-a-row that he has made the grade.
The Dutch-born 24-year-old, who will qualify for Scotland later this year on residential grounds, is once again the leading try scorer in the PRO12 this season with 12 tries in 18 appearances. His career tally of 36 tries in 56 appearances for Edinburgh leaves him level with Ospreys' Nikki Walker and just behind recently-retired Leinster wing Shane Horgan (39) and Ospreys star Tommy Bowe (46).
Visser is one of five players from the 2011/12 Dream Team who have retained their place this year with Leinster fullback Isa Nacewa, Ulster scrum-half Ruan Pienaar, Cardiff Blues centre Casey Laulala and Leinster hooker Richardt Strauss also getting the nod once again from a panel of journalists.
Glasgow Warriors are the most decorated side with three players in the form of fly-half Duncan Weir, loose-head prop Jon Welsh and lock Tom Ryder. Visser's team-mate David Denton claims the blindside berth with the Ospreys' Justin Tipuric at openside and the Scarlets' Ben Morgan at No.8. Ulster's Dan Tuohy completes the second row and Munster's BJ Botha packs down at tight-head. In the backs, the Ospreys' Ashley Beck gets the nod at inside centre and the Cardiff Blues' Alex Cuthbert lines up on the left wing.
No fewer than 89 players from all 12 clubs in the RaboDirect PRO12 received votes and the final make up of the team is as follows:
RaboDirect PRO12 Dream Team 2011/12: Isa Nacewa (Leinster), Tim Visser (Edinburgh), Casey Laulala (Cardiff Blues), Ashley Beck (Ospreys), Alex Cuthbert (Cardiff Blues); Duncan Weir (Glasgow Warriors), Ruan Pienaar (Ulster); Jon Welsh (Glasgow Warriors), Richardt Strauss (Leinster), BJ Botha (Munster), Dan Tuohy (Ulster), Tom Ryder (Glasgow Warriors), Dave Denton (Edinburgh), Justin Tipuric (Ospreys), Ben Morgan (Scarlets)

Pac-12 Roundup: Oregon's Mark Helfrich said he "learned a thousand things" as Colorado O-Coordinator
A look around the Pac-12 Conference Tuesday:
Oregon — Coach Mark Helfrich said he "learned a thousand things" from his time as offensive coordinator at Colorado. The Buffaloes didn't win much and, Helfrich said, "A great deal of it is my fault."
Arizona State — Back-shoulder throw big weapon in Sun Devils' air arsenal.
Arizona — Ka'Deem Carey picking up where he left off last year.
USC — Ed Orgeron ready for second stint as head coach, however interim it is. He has learned a lot since going 10-25 at Mississippi from 2005-07. Since returning to USC as defensive line coach in 2010, he has lived in a hotel across the street from campus.
UCLA — Offensive line brings back memories of NFL drafts from the past.

Since acquiring the rights to publish Transformers comics in 2005, IDW Publishing has launched a number of miniseries establishing a vast and complex universe for the massive robotic characters, but there hasn't been a central ongoing series to chronicle the epic battle between noble Autobots and evil Decepticons. That changes in November with the first issue of "Transformers," a new ongoing series written by Mike Costa and illustrated by Don Figueroa. CBR News caught up with Costa to discuss the new series.
The 25th anniversary of the Transformers marks a good point for a new ongoing series. "That's an occasion worth celebrating," Costa told CBR. "Also, though there are advantages to doing a sequence of miniseries, I think there comes a time of fan fatigue with that format. If you go on like that for too long it becomes difficult to remember or piece together how one series takes place chronologically in relation to another. Also, if you miss a few issues, it's difficult to figure out just what you missed if a new series has already started up with new numbering. Personally, I find something very satisfying in having a comic with a number higher than 20 on the cover. In comic book terms, it's a nice little reminder of history."
In the course of the epic "All Hail Megatron" miniseries and the various character spotlight issues, IDW's Transformers universe has seen a number of plot threads and mysteries begin, and many of these will ultimately fold in to the new ongoing series. "Andy Schmidt, Denton Tipton, Nick Roche and Zandar Cannon and I have been talking about all of this for months," Costa said, referring to the team of writers and editors working on the various Transformers titles. "We've sat down at conventions, talked over the phone and exchanged hundreds of emails working out what's going on with all the characters, where they've been left just before this new ongoing launches, and how all of this ties into their futures. This is a new series, but it's not a reboot. You'll see all of those stories."
Costa indicated that while there will be a core group as the title's focus, additional Autobots and Decepticons will enter the fray as the "Transformers" ongoing unfolds. "One of the great things about the Transformers universe is the huge cast that creators can play with," the writer said. "For simplicity's sake, we're definitely focusing on some core members, but we are also expanding that core to include some great characters who have never really had the chance to come forward, and we're using them in some hopefully unexpected ways. As for specific teams, check out Nick Roche's 'Wreckers' book."
When the new series opens, three years have passed since the end of "All Hail Megatron." "We wanted to give the Earth time to rebuild and set up a new status quo," Costa said, adding that details from the three-year gap would emerge as the series progresses, as well as through miniseries set during this period. "Megatron and most of the Decepticons are still gone, and the Autobots are still on Earth, but that puts them in an awkward spot. See, most people don't care to differentiate between 'good giant robots' and 'bad giant robots.' All they saw were giant robots that almost totally destroyed the planet. So we begin our series with the Autobots in hiding... in disguise, if you will."
Costa was coy about revealing further details of the ongoing's first arc. "I don't want to give too much away, but I will say that the situation the Autobots find themselves in is one they've never experienced before," the writer teased. "They really don't know how to handle it and morale is at an all-time low, which leads to some serious conflicts, really bad decisions, and one of them doing something that nobody, fellow Autobots and readers included, is going to believe."

UPDATE 2/7/2014: Hey, as you read this, make a note of the date this was posted. This is a pretty old piece now and while it perfectly captures the state I was in at the time, a lot can change in three years. Just keep that in mind.
UPDATE 5/30/2013: Just an FYI, I don't check this site a whole lot anymore but I've re-posted this piece at my new blog located here: http://rambohiggles.com/blog/2013/2/28/six-reasons-why-having-an-anxiety-disorder-is-bullshit
Like just about any nerd out there, I grew up with the constant knowledge that I was "different." I've always been shy and quiet; I've also gone to great lengths to avoid uncomfortable situations and once or twice a year I have a full-on anxiety attack in the form of a huge tantrum.
Only in the last few years have I really found something to blame for all the things that made me feel like such a weirdo: high anxiety. It's a small problem when compared to something like, say, addiction or genocide (you know, the standard benchmarks for sizes of problems), but having a constant sense of dread running through your brain is, to say the least, stressful. When that dread becomes too overwhelming, I freak out. These moments aren't always, necessarily, full-blown panic attacks, but they are uncontrollable fits of nervousness and depression that shut me down for a day or two as my brain frantically sorts through all of its bullshit and buries me underneath.
High anxiety is such complete bullshit. It's real and it isn't at the same time. It's in your head, but it also takes an actual, physical toll. It's a construction of the mind, but it feels as tangible as a brick wall, where the bricks are made of mithril and the wall is covered in adamantium spikes and manned by rabid velociraptors armed with rapid-fire grenade launchers.
So what, exactly, makes high anxiety such bullshit? Well, for starters….
Everything Causes it and Anything Triggers it.
General anxiety is exactly what it sounds like — overall, constant, day-to-day fear. Basically, a fear of everything. I can look around my room right now and find dozens of things that would stress me out if I started thinking about them: the stack of old bank statements on my desk that remind of how little I know about finance and how doomed my money is having me responsible for it; the LCD TV that I've used so consistently in the few years I've had it that I have to wonder how much life it has left; the shitty electrical outlet that only works if something is plugged in at just the right angle and will probably electrocute me someday; my cat/life that I'm responsible for who could become dinner for coyotes if she were left outside at the wrong time; my phone and the overwhelming cascade of texts, phone calls, instant messages, emails, and turns in multiplayer games that could descend on me at any moment.
Because everything causes your anxiety, anything can boil it over into a full-blown anxiety attack or some other kind of freak-out; it's just a matter of what bill, what email, what text message, what awkward social interaction will tip the scale and send you pacing around your house like a crazy person for the rest of the day, your thoughts racing as your brain does double-duty panicking and trying to think of a way to just calm the fuck down. (And because you won't be able to calm down, you'll also feel like a failure. Right? I hope that's not just me. [Oh, hi there, insecurity!])
Worse, it will always happen when you think you're feeling fine, when you think you've gone weeks feeling just peachy. Really though, you've been gradually losing your mind the whole time.
Nothing Fixes it.
If there's any evidence that your brain is the biggest asshole in the world, it's that the only remedy for your anxiety is also the worst coping mechanism humanity possesses: denial.
There's no way to fix your dumb brain. The best you can do to ebb the tide of dread and exhausting mental fatigue is to just ignore it all — until that one trigger fucks up all the shit that you have on hand to fuck up.
And the best part? After your little explosion, you get to start the whole process over again, because. …
It's a Self-Sustaining Cycle.
The truly shitty thing about an anxiety disorder is that it's completely self-sustaining. There is no getting over it, there is no defeating it, because it will always come back. Anxiety is the Wolverine of bullshit mental disorders; as long as a single cell remains, its mutant healing factor basically makes it immortal.
The cycle goes something like this:
Brain: "Danger!"
You: "What? Where?"
Brain: "There!"
You: "Where?!"
Brain: "Everywhere!"
You: "What?"
Brain: "PANIC! PANIC NOW! NOW! NOW! PANIC NOW! PANIC!"
You: "WHAT THE FUCK?! WHAT'S HAPPENING?!"
Brain: "Why are you panicking? Are you in danger!"
You: "Brain, I'm in danger! You have to help me!"
Brain: "What?! You're in danger?! OH GOD PANIC! PANIC NOW! NOW! PANIC NOW!"
You: "AAAAAAAHAHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Brain: "Why are you screaming?! Are you in danger?! PANIC PANIC PANIC!"
You: "Why?!"
Brain: "Because you're in danger!"
You: "I am?! OH MY FUCKING GOD I'M GOING TO DIE!"
Brain: "What's happening?! Are you okay?! QUICK PANIC IT'S ALL YOU CAN DO!"
You: *Crying* "I don't know what's happening!"
Basically, the dialogue breaks down and your brain and body become engaged in a debilitating rendition of "Who's on first?" (If "Who's on first" ended with Lou Costello sobbing, drinking a bottle of wine (from the bottle) to calm his nerves, then eating ice cream for dinner while watching cartoons and hating himself.)
The silver lining, I guess, is that you know for certain when it's all over: when you're crying yourself to sleep, too scared to drift off since your once manageable waking panic attacks have evolved into something else entirely.
Yup. It Evolves.
Something interesting happened to me several months ago. My regular, daytime panic attacks went away almost entirely. Sure, I still have bad days and moments where I freak out, but the actual fight-or-flight things that make my heart beat like a machine-gun and my brain dissociate entirely from everything happening outside of my own skull dissipated.
Or so I thought.
It turns out the actual-panic panic-attacks hadn't gone away; they'd just moved from being a daytime thing to more of a middle-of-the-night-while-I'm-sleeping kind of thing. My anxiety evolved and became nocturnal.
Now my panic attacks happen while I sleep; I'll just wake up, my heart punching its way out of my chest, feeling that I'm about to die. Sometimes they take the form of the most vivid, twisted nightmares I've ever had in my life, the illusions of which persist for a minute or two after I wake up. A few weeks ago I woke up clawing at my leg because I thought a bug had burrowed into my flesh. Then I tore up the covers trying to find it before realizing that it was a dream. Something like that happens about once a week now.
And remember that thing about anxiety being self-sustaining? Yeah, so now I'm pretty sure my fear to fall asleep plays a big part in why I wake up terrified night after night. I'm scared to sleep because of nocturnal panic attacks and I have nocturnal panic attacks because I'm so anxious about falling to sleep. And because there's no fix for anxiety, this is just a thing that I do now. (The next several decades of my life are sure going to be fun.)
The best part is that nocturnal anxiety hasn't completely replaced my typical, waking anxiety — no, no, this is all in addition to, not in place of. There's less of it, but it's still there, and with the added nocturnal anxiety, it's still more of this bullshit than I've ever had to deal with before. So as if being awake didn't give me enough to be afraid of, now my own dreams have become as frightening as everything else in life. That's really the worst thing about an anxiety disorder. …
Avoidance Behavior.
Once you realize that anything can trigger your anxiety, you start avoiding everything. And I mean everything. I go out of my way to avoid doing things that I should want to do. I avoid going to my friend's house because his neighborhood only has street parking and I'm scared to parallel park; I avoid doctor's appointments because I'm too scared they'll find something wrong with me; I avoid anywhere where there might be bugs because they could be poisonous; I avoid the ocean because of sharks and jellyfish and drowning; I avoid concerts because I'm scared I won't know how to act during the show. (I know that people yell "Woo!" a lot. Do I do that? It never sounds right. People will know I'm faking it and they'll judge me for it.)
In fact, most of my fears are social. A few years ago I started keeping my hair long, getting it cut maybe once or twice a year. Why? Because I'm terrified of the inevitable awkward silence and stilted conversation I'd have to endure with a hair dresser. I don't answer my phone because I don't know how to talk to people if I can't read their expressions and their body language. I have $219 worth of towels in my car that I need to return, but I'm too scared to do it because the manager of the store checked me out when I bought them and he'll probably be there and he'll remember me because we had this long conversation about how many towels I was buying and then he'll wonder why I'm returning all these towels and then he'll know that I bought too many and the wrong color because I don't know how to function in the world where adults buy towels and — and — ugh.
Now I just feel like a shitty person. That's the thing about social anxiety….
Social Anxiety Makes You a Social Outcast (and Rightfully so).
It sucks but it's true: people don't want to hang out with somebody who's clearly nervous and slightly afraid all the time. Your stress causes them stress. At worst they think you're just kind of weird. At best they know exactly what's going on and feel like they have to adapt their behavior to you. In any case, you're just a bummer to be around.
Even worse, it keeps you from functioning as competently as your peers. You don't feel like an adult. That's not to say you won't get there eventually, but get used to using the term "late bloomer" as one way to describe yourself, because you'll be using it a lot.
Maybe you can convince yourself that you're a misanthrope, so you don't care what other people think, but that just makes you a liar. Social anxiety kills your self-esteem. Because the world scares you, because you don't know how to function in it, you can't really be relied upon, but you constantly have to rely upon others.
Humans are social creatures, so we can't help but burden our friends with our bullshit. When that bullshit is, say, financial ruin or addiction or your parents dying, friends want to be there for you. But when your "problem" basically just amounts to consistent inconvenience and a sense of helplessness that you've manufactured entirely in your own mind, you're just a fucking drag.
I wish I could end this article with a message about how it gets better, about ways I've learned to cope, but the best way I've figure out to deal with my anxiety issues is just to drink. If I'm feeling nervous, overwhelmed, full of dread, depressed, or panicked, I drink. Alone. And eat my feelings. And watch depressing movies. So basically I'm like any great writer of my gender, only without any of the swagger, confidence, ability, life experience, or sex-having.
Huh. Suddenly I feel like I could really use a drink. …

Steam Infused Moisture Treatments
Benefits of Hair Steamers for Hair
Problems with dryness can lead to breakage, split ends and brittle hair that doesn't seem to grow.
Steaming helps hair look healthy and radiant, while eliminating dryness and nursing damaged tresses back to health.
Steaming your hair makes deep treatments more effective. The steam causes the cuticles of the hair to open up so that the conditioner can penetrate deeper into the hair shaft.
Steaming also stimulates the scalp by causing increased blood flow and circulation. It helps to loosen and relax the scalp.
any hair type can certainly reap the benefits of hair steaming. Steaming makes hair more manageable. It's an excellent regimen addition for anyone "stretching" their relaxers or transitioning to natural hair.
I'm sure all of us realize that moisture is often the main culprit of shedding and breakage with afro-textured hair. Afro-textured hair is more prone to drying out and resulting breakage. Dandruff and itchy scalp are treated using hair steamers. The heat or stream from the processor that comes into contact with the scalp kills any bacteria or fungus that causes the uncomfortable itch and flakes.
How often you steam is up to you? During the summer once per month

A Run Through the Quarterfinals
Santa Clara advanced to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the ninth straight year and finished a succesful season ranked third in the country with a 14-4-6 record. Santa Clara fell to eventual champion and top-seeded North Carolina. Santa Clara advanced through the tournament with wins over ranked opponents Stanford (1-0) and Arizona State (1-0), and a third round shoot-out against defending College Cup Champions, and West Coast Conference rivals, Portland (0-0, 4-2 PKs).
The Broncos, the 2001 National Champions and 2002 College Cup finalists, were the tournament's ninth overall seed and were making their15th straight NCAA postseason appearance. SCU received the WCC's automatic berth into the Tournament after winning its third straight league championship on November 8. The Broncos have advanced to the College Cup on nine occasions.
Santa Clara prepares itself for the postseason by annually playing one of the toughest regular-season schedules in the country. This year was no exception. The Broncos' 20-match schedule featured 11 programs that advanced to the 2003 NCAA Championship, including five of the top eight seeds. Additionally, there were 11 ranked teams on the schedule, with eight of the top 25 playing at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Live on the Internet
Santa Clara completed its third season of live Internet audio broadcasts for its entire home schedule. Additionally, Buck Shaw contests were followed online with a live statistical tracker, also located on SCU's official athletic website. By logging on, fans received real-time updated statistics direct from the official scoring computer, allowing users to listen to the audio broadcast and keep up with the statistics simultaneously. Ram Fletcher and SCU men's soccer alumni Mark Wojciechowski were the voices of the Broncos.
Osborne Joins 100-Point Club
Junior Leslie Osborne is steadily climbing both the Santa Clara and West Coast Conference recordbooks. The midfielder from Menomonee Falls, Wis., became only the eighth Bronco--and 14th WCC player--to notch 100 points with her first-half score against Portland during the regular season. In SCU record books, that tally moved her into the top eight in goals, at 35, while she is also ranked ninth in assists (33). In the league listings, Osborne is 11th in career assists and 13th in career goals and points.
Zepeda a Semifinalist for M.A.C. Hermann Trophy
Veronica Zepeda was named a semifinalist for the 2003 Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, awarded to the top players in NCAA Division I soccer. The Riverside, Calif., native was a preseason All-America candidate, and opened the season against third-ranked UCLA with a goal. Injuries slowed her season down, and she finished with 12 points (3 goals, 6 assists).
In the Rankings
Santa Clara opened and closed the 2003 season ranked in the top five in all four polls. After falling out of two polls September 29, Santa Clara finished in the top 10 for the 15th consecutive season. Soccer America and Soccer Times have listed the Broncos in the top 25 every week, while the Soccer Buzz and NSCAA/adidas polls had SCU out of the top 25, but returned the Broncos the following week. The omission from Soccer Buzz was a first for the Broncos since the poll started August 26, 1996. Until that week, SCU and North Carolina were the only programs ranked in every poll since its inception. Nevertheless, the Broncos still received votes and continue to be among five schools (UNC, UConn, Penn State and Texas A&M) that have received votes in every national poll.
Osborne Makes First Start for Full National Team
Leslie Osborne started the 2004 calendar year with a roster position on the full National Team. She traveled with the U.S. squad to China to compete at the Four Nations Tournament. Osborne saw action in all three games and earned her first career start against Canada on Feb. 3. The midfielder has been a member of the U19 national Team and helped the United States capture a berth in the first-ever FIFA U19 World Championship as a starter at the 2002 CONCACAF Qualifying Tournament.
Ryder Named to U-19 National Team Roster
Julie Ryder was named one of 26 players to the Under-19 National Team that trained at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., from Dec. 27 through Jan. 2. Head coach Tracey Leone used the post-Christmas training camp as a kick off to the 2004 season, with the team's main focus on the CONCACAF U-19 Women's Qualifying Tournament, which will be held in Ottawa and Montreal, Canada, from May 28-June 6. The top two finishers at that tournament qualify for the second FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship, to be held in Thailand from November 10-27. Ryder is one of 12 college freshmen on the team.
Among the Nation's Leaders
Santa Clara ranked 27th in scoring offense, averaging 2.29 points per game, 53rd in goals-against average, at 0.937, and 55th in shut out percentage (0.42). Individually, Julie Ryder ranked 12th in goals-against average (0.574), one of three freshmen in the top 12.
Spreading the Offense
Twelve different Broncos scored goals this season, with nine team members notching at least three goals apiece. Leslie Osborne led the squad with 11, followed by Tina Estrada's seven, and Tracy Hess and Marian Dalmy's six. Accounting for assists, there were seven Broncos with at least 12 points on the season, led again, by Osborne's 28.
Buck Shaw Stadium
Santa Clara has posted a 161-23-11 record at the 6,800-seat Buck Shaw Stadium over the last 17 seasons, including a 26-0 streak during the 1998 and '99 seasons. Over the last five seasons, the Broncos are 50-7-2 (.864) at Buck Shaw.
In the WCC Statistics
Santa Clara leads the league in goals (55) and corner kicks (133) and goals-against average (0.94), while ranking second in shots (342), points (153), and assists (43). Individually, Leslie Osborne is ranked third in goals (11), points (28) and shots (54), and sixth in assists (6). Tina Estrada is ranked seventh in shots (47), eighth in points (18) and goals (7). Marian Dalmy and Tracy Hess are tied for ninth in goals (6), while Veronica Zepeda is sixth (6) and Kakadelas 10th (5) in assists. Julie Ryder leads the league in goals-against average (.57) and is third in shut outs per game (0.53).
Going the (PK) Distance
The Broncos' NCAA Third round match against Portland is believed to be the program's first match decided by PKs since 1990, when SCU fell to Connecticut 2-1 in the NCAA semifinals. Head coach Jerry Smith added that this is his first PK victory-as a player or a coach-in the approximately 15 shoot-out matches he has been a part of.
Santa Clara has played six matches to the distance: double overtime. In fact, three of Santa Clara's first six matches went extra frames. With the Broncos' draw against CS Fullerton to end non-conference play, the program has played four overtime games in three of the last four seasons. The record for SCU is five overtime games, played during the 1995 campaign. That being said, this season marks the first the Broncos have played six double overtime contests. Santa Clara's double overtime victory against Portland to close the home season marked the first win in six tries for the Broncos in extra frames, as the other contests resulted in ties.
Broncos Net Two Hat Tricks This Season
Bronco juniors Bree Horvath and Leslie Osborne each netted a hat trick for Santa Clara this past season. They were each the first in the respective careers of the star student-athletes. Horvath and Osborne are only the 13th and 14th players in program history to record such a milestone, which respectively marks the 20th and 21st hat tricks in SCU women's soccer.
Horvath accomplished her feat as she led the Broncos to a 9-1 victory at San Jose State, scoring all three goals in the match's first 29 minutes. Osborne accomplished her feat against Pepperdine, netting two penalty kicks and scoring in the run of play in the 5-0 victory. She netted the game-winner in the first half, and scored right again in the 54th minute. Her final goal came on another penalty kick, this time in the 75th minute.
Rare Back-to-Back Losses
Santa Clara's loss to 23rd-ranked USC, in combination with the Broncos' loss to second-ranked Notre Dame the previous weekend, marked the first set of back-to-back losses for Santa Clara in 78 matches. The last time SCU lost consecutive contests was early in the 2000 season, to Washington and Notre Dame. With a win over Cal Poly on Sunday, the Broncos avoided three straight losses, a feat that hasn't happened in the program since 1994.
Post Season Honors
Many Broncos received postseason accolades. Leslie Osborne and Julie Ryder were named All-Americans by Soccer Buzz and CSTV, while Jessica Ballweg and Lauren Zealear join Osborne and Ryder as Soccer Buzz All-West Region honorees. Soccer Buzz also named five Broncos to its All-Freshman West Region Team: Ryder, Zealear, Marian Dalmy, Tina Estrada and Tiffany Roberts.
Kakadelas Earns All-Academic Honors
Megan Kakadelas was named to the CoSIDA District VIII All-Academic First Team. She balanced a 3.64 grade-point average in accounting while being a significant contributor on the field, posting four goals and five assists for 13 points this past season.
"At Santa Clara, we don't take the term 'student-athlete' lightly," head coach Jerry Smith said. "We talk to the team all the time about balance and for one of our players to be recognized for her academics, while at the same time helping our team continue to be one of the top programs in the country is a wonderful example that we hope all of our players will be striving toward."
To be eligible for consideration, student-athletes must have reached at least sophomore status, be a starter or significant reserve, and have at least a 3.20 GPA. District VIII is composed of Division I schools in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah and Washington, as well as the Canadian province of British Columbia.
Fab Freshman Class
Santa Clara recruited the top class in the country, according to Soccer Buzz and Soccer America magazines. It marked the first time since 1998 that the Broncos have been honored with the top listing by Soccer Buzz. The class included Marian Dalmy, Tina Estrada, Tiffany Roberts, Julie Ryder, Elyse Shelger and Lauren Zealear. The group made an immediate impact for the Broncos, as five were regular starters. The class combined for 19 of the team's 55 goals, while also taking responsibility for 11 assists, six shut outs and 52 saves.

May 24, 2013Micah No Comment Band: David Hasselhoff On Acid Facebook / Merch / Shows Genre: Experimental / Progressive Q: Where did the band name "David Hasselhoff On Acid" come from? Well, our drummer has these cazy flashbacks every time he trips acid. Zach and David Hasselhoff are in their mothers womb. They are twin brothers. All of a sudden tongs and pokers start stabbing and ripping Zach's poor little body apart. As Zachs little soul witnesses his own abortion, David Hasselehoffs life unfolds before Zach's eyes. Knight rider, Baywatch…the Berlin wall. So ….basically drugs and music Q: You've played with a lot of big-name bands: Animals As Leaders, The Faceless, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Which band has been your favorite to play with thus far? Yeah we have had a chance to play with a lot of amazing bands. Animals As Leaders was definitely a highlight, especially since that tour also had Intronaut, Evan Brewer, and Last Chance to Reason on it. We are fans of all those bands, but I think The Dillinger Escape Plan takes the cake. We have been listening to them for over a decade now and to finally share a stage with them and have them buy your merch and like your music is very surreal. Q: What is the local metal scene like in Kansas City, KS? We love our scene. Not just the metal scene but the KC music scene in general. All the bands are friends so there is no competition.We just play music, hang out and have fun. We have great bands like At the Left Hand of God, Hammerlord, Moire, and of course Coalesce. Q: If you could play with any band live, broken up or not, which band would it be and why? Pearl Jam…and your mother Q: What bands play an influence on your music the most and why? Bands that push boundaries and are always trying to get better. Right now for us it's bands like Animals As Leaders, Deftones, Dillinger Escape Plan and underground bands like Consider the Source, Dysrythmia, and Scale the Summit. Q: What are your plans for this summer? We are releasing our second album titled Eudaimonia and are planning on doing a couple of small tours. And of course getting really high. Q: Do you have any shout outs to give? We would like to give a shout out to anyone who has ever come to one of our shows, bought merch, or helped us out in any way or form. Also a shout out to Pig Squeals And Breakdowns for interviewing us even though we are instrumental. Thank you! Interview, NewsShare : Tweet ‹ Interview with Siege of Tyranny!

The Avalon is Toyota's flagship full-size sedan. A front-wheel-drive car powered by a V-6 engine, the Avalon has consistently defined itself against similar models like the Toyota Camry by its luxury comfort features and spacious interior.
The current Avalon owes its design to a 2015 facelift that was well-received throughout the auto industry. Toyota upgraded the car's front grille, turn signals, and wheel design. It also included its Safety Sense technology as a standard feature.

Posted on 28. Aug, 2014 by Sophie Rosen
In late 2011, GNOFHAC received a call from a woman in Shreveport in desperate need of housing for her and her children. After a few minutes of conversation, the woman disclosed that she was fleeing her current apartment because of ongoing sexual harassment she was enduring from her landlord.
Few people are aware that such harassment can be classified as a direct violation of the Fair Housing Act, but the reality is that sexual harassment in housing often occurs on the basis of a tenant's sex. "Sex" is one of the seven protected classes under the Fair Housing Act, therefore a landlord who sexually harasses his renter can sometimes be taken to court for housing discrimination.
Soon after we took the call from the original victim, two more women who had also rented from the landlord in question came forward to tell similar disturbing stories. The three brave women filed a lawsuit in federal court last year against their former landlord, bringing allegations of discrimination during and even after their tenancy. The courageous actions of these women have the potential to affect many other women in their community, as the landlord who harassed them owns more than 20 rental properties around Shreveport, and manages them himself.
The sexual harassment case was settled this month because of the rigorous work of GNOFHAC's attorneys and clients. The settlement not only provides financial relief to each woman, but also restricts the landlord from visiting any of his rental properties unaccompanied, and requires him to complete fair housing training and implement a non-discrimination policy at all of his properties. GNOFHAC and our clients are confident that he'll no longer be able to engage in the same discriminatory conduct in the future.
Discriminatory harassment can take many forms in housing. It is illegal for a landlord, maintenance worker, or apartment manager to harass you because of your race, color, religion, national origin, sex, disability, or family size. If you feel you've experienced discriminatory harassment, please contact GNOFHAC at 504-596-2100 or file a complaint with us here.

Do patients really want to punish when things go wrong? Good question...
We wanted to point out a great discussion on this very topic. One of our favorite bloggers, Paul Levy, has started this interesting discussion on his blog, Running a Hospital. Click here to read the entire post and comments.
What do YOU think? We would love to hear from you.

All The Go Inbetweens, my largest solo show yet, opens at 111 Minna gallery in San Francisco tomorrow. It represents the most concentrated effort I have yet to undertake in my career as an artist and I'm exhausted and proud and very excited for people to see everything. There's endless things to debate about with art but I think a main reason for producing it is to make people (and yourself) happy, and I think that's pretty cool. If the subject matter is sad or disturbing I think there's always a positive element if someone can make a connection with it. It's not the art that I'm compelled to create but even with something like a demon raping a teddy bear, you can say "boy I really admire the rendering on that demon penis" and then you're a little bit happier. But I digress.
If you're not able to make it to San Francisco then you can preview the show here (don't click if you're coming to the show or you'll spoil it). I look forward to seeing everybody that comes out tomorrow and I appreciate all the support that's got me to this point.
A little clip from the install here.

If you do not agree to any of these terms, you should not use the Service. These Terms of Service apply to all users, including both users who are simply viewing content available via the Service and users who have registered as members of WhoTeaches.
We may, at our sole discretion, modify these Terms of Service at any time. By accessing the Service at any time after such modifications, you are agreeing to such modifications. These Terms of Service were last modified as of February 25, 2015.
The WhoTeaches Service allows members to find classes that they are interested in taking, and allows Providers to find members interested in taking their classes.
We reserve the right to refuse to provide the Service to any person for any reason and/or to discontinue the Service in whole or in part at any time, with or without prior notice.
The entire contents of the Service are protected by international copyright and trademark laws and other proprietary rights. The owners of the copyrights and trademarks are WhoTeaches, its affiliates and/or other third party licensors.

You may print and download portions of material from the different areas of the Service solely for your own non-commercial use provided that you agree not to change or delete any copyright or proprietary notices from the materials, and not to share any material that you paid for with anyone else who has not also purchased a license for that material.
You may not use any robots, spiders, or similar data mining, data gathering or extraction tools or manual processes to collect, gather or copy any content or data on or related to the Service in a manner not authorized by WhoTeaches in writing. You may not engage in practices of "screen scraping," "database scraping" or any other practice or activity the purpose of which is to obtain lists of users, portions of a database, or other lists or information from the Service, in any manner and any quantities not authorized by WhoTeaches in writing. You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout or form) of WhoTeaches or its affiliates without express written consent.

Whether or not any User Submission is published, it will be subject to these Terms of Service. WhoTeaches does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to a User Submission, regardless of whether or not it is published. You are solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting or publishing them. You represent and warrant that you own or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents and permissions to your User Submissions (and all content included therein), including the right to authorize WhoTeaches to use the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Service and these Terms of Service.
You hereby grant to WhoTeaches a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license, with the right to sub-license, to reproduce, distribute, transmit, create derivative works of, publicly display and publicly perform any User Submissions or any other materials or information (including, without limitation, ideas for new or improved products or services) you communicate to WhoTeaches by all means and in any media now known or hereafter developed. You also grant to WhoTeaches the right to use your name in connection with the submitted materials and other information as well as in connection with all advertising, marketing and promotional material related thereto. You agree that you shall have no recourse against WhoTeaches for any alleged or actual infringement or misappropriation of any proprietary right in your communications to WhoTeaches.

To provide WhoTeaches notice of an infringement, you must provide a written communication to the attention of "DMCA Infringement Notification Dept." that sets forth the information specified by the DMCA (see http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is infringing your copyright.
The following terms apply to your use of the Service and any account that you may open or attempt to open via the Service:

Your use of the Service is subject to all applicable laws and regulations, and you are solely responsible for the substance of your communications through the Service. You agree that you will not upload, share, post, or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any User Submission — including text, communications, software, images, sounds, data, or other information — that:
We neither endorse nor assume any liability for the contents of any User Submission. We generally do not pre-screen, monitor, or edit User Submissions. However, we and our agents have the right at their sole discretion to remove any User Submission or other content that, in our judgment, does not comply with these Terms of Service and any other rules of user conduct for the Service, or is otherwise harmful, objectionable, or inaccurate. We are not responsible for any failure or delay in removing any such User Submission or other content. You hereby consent to such removal and waive any claim against us arising out of such removal of any User Submission, whether it is your own or another user's. See "Copyrights, Licenses and User Submissions" above for a description of the procedures to be followed in the event that any party believes that a User Submission infringes on any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other proprietary right of any party.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 24, No. 1 June 1997 T. A. LEE THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA THE INFLUENCE OF SCOTTISH ACCOUNTANTS IN THE UNITED STATES: THE EARLY CASE OF THE SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS IN EDINBURGH Abstract: This study represents part of a long-term research program to investigate the influence of U.K. accountants on the development of professional accountancy in other parts of the world. It examines the impact of a small group of Scottish chartered accountants who emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Set against a general theory of emigration, the study's main results reveal the significant involvement of this group in the founding and development of U.S. accountancy. The influence is predominantly with respect to public accountancy and its main institutional organizations. Several of the individuals achieved considerable eminence in U.S. public accountancy. INTRODUCTION In 1854, Queen Victoria granted a royal charter of incorporation to 61 members of The Society of Accountants in Edinburgh (SAE) (Lee, 1996). Under this banner of professional legitimacy, the SAE membership prospered and, by 1914, totalled 580 chartered accountants. However, not all SAE members admitted between 1854 and 1914 remained in Edinburgh. Research of the early history of the SAE reveals more than 23% of its admittants in this period moved overseas to develop their careers (Walker, 1988, p.44). Indeed, only 49% of the 726 SAE members admitted between 1854 and 1914 remained in Edinburgh after admission. Fifty-nine SAE members emigrated to the United States Acknowledgments: I am most grateful to Dr S. P. Walker for assistance on this project; an anonymous reviewer and the Editor of this journal for helpful suggestions; and to the Scottish Committee on Accounting History of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, and the Hugh Culverhouse Endowment of The University of Alabama for financial support. Submitted September 1996 Revised 3/21/97 Accepted March 1997
