How to write a college essay successfully.
Before you begin writing you must put yourself in shoes of the people who are going to review your essay. These people will, over the course of several weeks and months, read hundreds of essays. After reading countless essays written by students showcasing their credentials (sadly, many essays reduce to this), admissions board members want something refreshing. There is nothing more refreshing than honesty. Admissions members take pride in the academy they are associated with, and tend to think of their college affectionately as a community, not simply a place where students take tests. When they are reading your essay they are unquestionably asking themselves if you would fit into the community. Essentially, they are deciding if they like you. If you have spelling mistakes and your sentences have no flow you will not impress anyone, but it is what you say, and not the vocabulary words you use to say it, which counts. The essay is the make-or-break item for students having similar school room and extracurricular credentials; remember that admissions board members are human and will naturally be gravitated towards the more likeable candidate.
How do you come across as likable? Here are some starters. Do not make your essay see-through. Spending six-hundred words patting yourself on the back does not fly with most admission boards. Board members look at your statistics and know that you have a 4.0 GPA""do not include that in your essay. Similarly, do not try to subtly litter your essay with accolades you've received in the past four years""your resume, if it is thorough, will have these. Long impressive words are great if you are a contestant for Jeopardy but not if you are trying to gain the approval of a panel of readers""your readers should not have to have a thesaurus on their laps when they read your essay. Do not tackle topics you are not entirely informed about or ones you think may bore your readers""remember your job is to write skillfully and knowledgably, but also to entertain, to excite, and to stand-out. Be humble in your essay but not overly humble""false modesty in abundance can be as poisonous as egotism.
While it may sound overly-simplistic your best bet is to choose a topic that is really important to you. If you write about something close to your heart chances are you will be able to convey your point and emotions to the reader, and this pathos is exactly what you want. A story about a struggle in your life can be a good subject, however you need to steer clear from total sob stories, as board members will get many of these. If you have a remarkable, outstanding, or very usual story that you think has only happened to you, then you should write about it.
When you finally have an approach and you begin writing, keep in mind your ultimate goal: to produce a well-written, grammatically correct, and above all else, refreshingly poignant essay. Honest and heartfelt (but not sappy) writing is the key to this goal. And remember that just because it is honest does not mean the essay can't be witty, polished, and moving. Good luck.

text: Now that the BTHC is more or less a lock, and the teams leaving at the expense of their former conferences, and college hockey in general. Why doesn't the WCHA and CCHA make them play as independents until the BTHC comes to fruition? I know they wouldn't do this, but they could at least threaten to do so. If the make the threat of doing to maybe they could get some sort of contract for fair scheduling (1:1). As soon as the BTHC forms weaker schools like lake superior, MTU etc. will only be able to get the BT teams to come play at their arenas in 2:1's and 3:1's. I could see a lot of those teams folding in the next decade because of the revenue loss from those games. (as well as not having the BT teams in their conference for recruiting reasons)

Windham Tax Rate Increases by 40 Cents per $1KOctober 31, 2014
by Barbara O'Brien
Windham's Tax Rate has gone up by 40 cents per $1,000 assessed property valuation, an increase that translates into about $380 on the typical home. In the Town of Windham, a typical home is currently assessed at a value of about $350,000. This is down from about $400,000 several years ago, prior to the onset of the recession in 2008.
Town Administrator David Sullivan made the announcement earlier this month, commenting that the higher tax rate is actually less than had been anticipated. The increase was not as bad as originally thought, Sullivan said, due to the influx of additional revenue.
For 2013, Windham's overall tax rate was $23.60 per $1,000 assessed property valuation. This year, the New Hampshire Department of Revenue has set the 2014 tax rate at $24 per $1,000 assessed property valuation, an increase of 40 cents overall. The two areas of increase are town and school district. The town portion of the Windham Tax Rate has gone up by 17 cents (4%) per $1,000 assessed property valuation, while the school district share has risen 23 cents (1.4%) per $1,000 assessed property valuation over 2013.
The second of the two semi-annual tax bills will go out shortly, with payment due within 30 days of the date of the bill.

It wasn't two seconds after finishing my pumpkin pie that I was blasting Christmas music and decking the halls. It's not that I wasn't doing that before Thanksgiving, but it's nice to not be the only one now. The Christmas season is finally here! That means Delilah on the radio, glitter-frosted everything, elaborate window displays along Michigan Ave and State St and Starbucks red cups.
Since I was 16, Starbucks has been a crucial part of my holiday festivities. Whether it was a Gingerbread Latte during a shopping break at Woodfield, a delicious Snowman Cookie on my way to class or a pound of Christmas Blend for everyone in my family, it seemed like the holidays weren't complete without a Starbucks accessory.
Since I stopped working at Starbucks in August, those treats suddenly got really expensive. I didn't get my discount, partner beverage or partner mark out anymore, and that was a hard reality to face. So a few days ago, when I saw a Cranberry Bliss Bar begging me to buy it for over two dollars, I instantly knew what I would be baking on Sunday. I figured if I could master a comparable Cranberry Bliss Bar, I could maintain my tradition and my wallet. So I gave it a shot!
Cranberry Bliss Bars
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dried cranberries
6 ounces white chocolate, cut into chunks (I used 3/4 cup white chocolate chips)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
4 teaspoons lemon juice (I thought this was a bit much, so I'd suggest 3)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup dried cranberries (I'd suggest 1/2 – 3/4 cup)
1/3 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon canola or vegetable oil
Beat butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, ginger and salt. Beat well.
Gradually mix in flour until smooth.
Mix cranberries and white chocolate into the batter by hand.
Pour batter into a well-greased 9"x13" pan and spread evenly.
Bake at 350ºF for 30 minutes or until cake is light brown on the edges. Let cool.
To make the frosting, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth.
When cake has cooled, spread frosting over the top and sprinkle with cranberries.
To make the drizzle, mix oil and white chocolate chips in a bowl. Microwave for one minute and then stir until melted completely. Drizzle over bars.
Let cake sit for several hours, then cut into triangles.

What is Oib.io
Oib.io is definitely a weird one to say the least! You'll play as a blob surrounded by several other players(also blobs) and have to fight for your survival in a big blobby free for all! Starting off you'll be spawning units and using them as soldiers, you're able to merge these small units together to create bigger/stronger units that you can use to defend yourself. Although completely different Oibio follows similar rules to agar.io, the bigger you are the stronger you are, bigger blobs can eat the smaller ones which is pretty simple to understand.
Onto the actual game mechanics, you'll start with your queen alone and unguarded, create/eat blobs in order to make your queen stronger and heal her when shes low HP. The game can be fairly difficult to keep track of for new players as you'll have to watch your queen and also control your army to attack other peoples queens. The cool thing about Oib is you can send smaller units out to go get XP and then feed it back to the queen to make her stronger!
How to play Oib.io
The controls will be explained once you get into game if you forget, press 1 to spawn units, 2 to merge selected units, 3 to split selected units and 4 to feed selected units to your queen. You can control your units separately from your queen by using V to select them!

Story provided by Carleton County Paranormal
Mystye's story is about George and Jake. Who are they you ask? They are the spirits that lived with Mystye and her family of 5 in Cloverdale, NB. Mystye and her husband bought the house years ago and they were already familiar with the family that owned the house when it was built. Something interesting about that is, the deed to the house was dated 1904 and it was hand written. Mystye says that they had to establish there house and property before they were given a deed. So that means the house was built sometime before 1904 and nobody is sure how many years before.
The house is totally full of history! Mystye left a lot of things as it was back in the early 1900s. Things like little notes and lists the original owners had written as reminders or inventory of bottled food and meat. There are writings on the walls with names and dates, eg. first house to have power in Cloverdale. AND the place was full of antiques and pieces of history. It's like walking back in time. Now, what makes it a little more interesting is the fact that there are two graves with headstones of 8 year old Pearl who died of diabetes and a grave marked "baby" who was a stillborn baby.
Getting back to Jake and George. Jake was the original owner and father to George and the the two children buried beside the house. Mystye believes they are there to protect the house, which would explain why a house that is over 110 years old is in such remarkable shape! Mystye would hear George knock on the window at around ten o'clock almost every night. Her son(who was under 4 years old) would talk to George some. George would tell her son where to find things in the house and property like a lunchbox in the attic and a good fishing hole out behind the house. Mystye saw dark shadows moving across the top shelf in the laundry room. She saw a man with an old wool lumber jacket standing outside her window. She went to the door to see who was there and to her surprise, nobody was there! She felt cold spots and witnessed baffling happenings, for instance, a huge oak tree fell on her house and she acquired no damage to the roof or house! The original owners installed a bathroom on the second floor but, Jake wouldn't use it because he didn't believe water would run uphill so he continued to go to the shed where there was an outhouse.

Introduction followed by a brief analogical comparison between the different aspects of a person and various characters and representations in the Bhagavad Gita.
Dhrtarashtra the blind king and Pandu were brothers. Dhrtarashtra had a hundred sons called the Kauravas and a daughter Dushala from his wife Gandhari; and a son Yuyutsu from Gandhari's maid Sughada. Pandu had three sons Yudhishtra, Arjuna and Bheema from his first wife Kunti, and twins Nakula and Sahadeva from his second wife Madri. Pandu was the king of the Kingdom of the Kurus.
However, Pandu died due to the effect of a curse he had received from a dying deer which he had shot with an arrow when he was in the forest hunting. Dhrtarashtra and others decided to crown Yudhishtra as the King. Duryodhana the eldest son of Dhrtarashtra hatched a plan to eliminate the Pandavas as well as their mother Kunti. He would have almost succeeded in his plan but for the tip-off given by Viduura who was the uncle of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. Duryodhana had convinced his father Dhrtarashtra to suggest to the Pandavas and their mother Kunti to visit a fair at Varanavat . Yudhishtra wondered why Dhrtarashtra did not ask his sons to go to the fair and therefore found something suspicious in the idea. That is when Vidura, the righteous uncle of the Kauravas, informed the Pandavas of Duroydhana's sinister plan of killing them. Duryodhana had asked his architect friend Purochana to construct a house of lac in Varanavat. The
Sanskrit name for the house of lac is Laakshaagruham. Duryodhana's plan was to burn the house when the Pandavas were sleeping. But as Yudhishtra already knew about the plan, he discussed with Vidura about it in order to protect him and his family from the murder attempt. They sent a person who was an expert in mining, to build a secret tunnel from the house of lac that would lead them into a nearby forest.
The night arrived and Purochana was going to execute the command of Duryodhana when Bheema, who knew of the plan, locked Purochana in a room and all the Pandavas and their mother escaped through the tunnel. The house burned and people thought that the Pandavas had died in the fire.
They protected themselves by hiding in a village beyond the forest. Many things happened during the time they spent in hiding. Bheema married Hidimba and Arjuna married Draupadi. It was after Arjuna's marriage with Draupadi, that Duryodhana and the others came to know that the Pandavas were alive. The grandsire Bheeshma asked Dhrtarashtra to invite the Pandavas and give them their share of the kingdom. After discussing with others, Dhrtarashtra gave the Pandavas a place called Khaandavprastha which Yudhishtra and his brothers accepted. They moved to their new kingdom and built a beautiful capital city called Indraprastha. They also had an amazing palace built, which was designed by Maya the architect of Vishwakarma. The Pandavas who were advised by Bhagavan Krishna, decided to conduct a Rajasuya Yagnya for the inauguration of the palace. They invited kings of many neighbouring kingdoms and also Duryodhana and his family. True to his nature, Duryodhana was overcome by envy and anger. He wanted to own that palace for which he would have to send the Pandavas away. He consulted his evil minded uncle Shakuni who was the brother of Gandhari. Shakuni gave Duryodhana a plan of inviting Yudhishthra for a game of dice. He asked Duryodhana to convince his father Dhrtarashtra to invite the Pandavas for a game of dice to be played in their court in Hastinapur where the Kauravas lived.
The Pandavas along with Draupadi arrived in Hastinapur. Uncle Shakuni went to visit the Pandavas. He spoke to Yudhishtra about the stakes for which Yudhishtra said that he would like to be fair as always. Shakuni who was notorious for his unmatched skills in gambling, told him to bravely accept whatever the outcome of the game was. He also added that if Yudhishtra wanted to quit, he could do so before the game started because once the game started, there would be no possibility of getting out. Yudhishtra felt that Shakuni was hurting his pride, so he said with a voice filled with pride that the Kauravas could call the stakes and he would bravely accept them. That was the greatest blunder that Yudhishtra committed. Duryodhana asked Yudhishtra if he agreed for the stakes to be called by himself while their uncle Shakuni rolled the dice. Yudhishtra agreed to Duryodhana's condition.
Game after game and thanks to Shakuni's deceit, the Kauravas won and Duryodhana kept calling the stakes. The Pandavas lost every game and therefore lost everything they had. Finally they were left with nothing except themselves and Draupadi. Duryodhana and Duhshasana humiliated Draupadi in front of
everyone and started disrobing her. Bhagavan Krishna heard Draupadi's call for help and miraculously kept giving her saris so that Duhshasan could not succeed in disrobing her. Duryodhana then called Draupadi his maid and asked her to sit on his thigh. That is when Bheema, who was seething with anger, burst out with a loud cry. He vowed in public that one day he would drink the blood out of Duhshasana's heart and break the thigh of Duryodhana.
All the while Dhrtarashtra the blind king couldn't do much because he was actually blind and also because he was blind to whatever wrong deeds his sons committed. However when Draupadi screamed out in anger condemning all the Kshatriyas gathered there watching a woman's honour being violated, Dritarashtra feared that any curse uttered by a chaste woman such as Draupadi, could bring down his entire family and destroy future generations to come. He therefore requested his son Duryodhana to give the Pandavas an alternative and release them. Duryodhana reluctantly agreed but said that he would release the Pandavas only if they were banished from the kingdom. He added that the Pandavas would be banished for thirteen years in which they should live the thirteenth year incognito. He also said that if their identity was revealed during the thirteenth year, they would have to begin another exile period of another thirteen years.
They faced a lot of hardships during the thirteen years but they handled all situations boldly and returned to Hastinapur after the exile period. The evil Duryodhana refused to part with even a small part of his kingdom. His brothers and even Karna told him that if he should go for war, they would support him. Yudhishtra tried to go the peaceful way and avoid war. He requested Bhagavan Krishna to broker peace. Duryodhana did not budge from his decision.
Krishna asked Yudhishtra to stay firm on the path of Dharma but not to give up his rights. The dilemma Krishna faced was to decide which side he would support because both the Pandavas as well as the Kauravas were equally dear to Him. Therefore when Arjuna and Duryodhana went to Him to seek His help, Krishna offered them a choice of either His entire army or Himself. When Krishna asked Arjuna what he wanted, he said that he wanted Krishna with him. Duryodhana got Krishna's army and he went to his palace very happy and almost sure that he would be winning the war. Krishna asked Arjuna why he chose Him and not His army for which Arjuna said that he believed that Krishna's guidance was more precious and valuable to him than His entire army. This pleased Krishna who always held Arjuna close to His heart.
The day of the war dawned and both the armies gathered at the battleground in Kurukshetra. Although the war was very challenging and difficult, the Pandavas did very well because of the Grace of Krishna's counsel and presence on their side. Bhishma who fell on the tenth day, would have died. However, due to a boon he had received from his father, he could choose the day of his death. Bhishma lay bleeding on a bed of arrows as he decided to wait until the war was over and then die.
The situation at the battlefield of Kurukshetra was worrying the blind king Dhritarashtra very much but the fall of Bhishma shocked and shook him. He sent for Sanjaya who was blessed
with the power of clairvoyance called 'Divyadrishti' in Sanskrit. When Sanjaya arrived Dritarashtra asked him to use his special power and tell him all that happened and was happening at Kurukshetra. Sanjaya started narrating what happened just before the war began. He described the situation at the battlefield and the entire conversation between Krishna and Arjuna. The Divine Knowledge, that was imparted by Krishna Himself to Arjuna, could be known to Sanjaya and Dhritarashtra and is also available to all those who read the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.
Sanjaya begins by describing the scene that was set for the great Mahabharata war. The two armies of the Pandavas and of the Kauravas are lined up. Arjuna arrives on his golden chariot drawn by white horses. Krishna was the charioteer. Arjuna asks Krishna to position the chariot between the two armies so that he could take a good look at his opponents and see who all he had to fight. When Arjuna sees his cousins, teachers, uncles and friends on the other side, it saddens him and unsettles his mind. He is under severe stress as his mind is filled with various emotions which are causing his knees to tremble and make his mouth go dry. He puts his bow down and says that he cannot fight. Krishna begins his discourse by asking Arjuna where a brave warrior like him, got the unmanly quality of weakness in his mind from, and He starts counselling him. The remaining seventeen chapters of the Bhagavad Gita contain questions from Arjuna and answers with explanations from Krishna.
The Gita analogy:
The terms Karma and Dharma have several meanings. Karma generally means Action and Dharma can be translated as Right Action. The Bhagavad Gita begins with the verse:
|"Dharmakshetre Kurukshetre samavetaah yuyutsavaha
maamakaaha paandavaaschaiva kimakurvata Sanjayaa" (SBG 1:01)
|in the sacred field
|in Kurukshetra
|eager to fight
|My people
Paandavaas cha eva
|and the followers of the Pandavas
|kim akurvata
|What did they do?
|O Sanjaya
|The sacred field is our body in which there is a constant fight between positive and negative forces.
|One who holds on to his country. People hold on to their body by identifying themselves with it and being attached to it.
When the real Self, which is ignorant like Dhrtarashtra, marries the mind which chooses to be blind like Gandhari, the resulting offspring is ego which is difficult to fight just like Duryodhana, who was a tough opponent on the battlefield.
|'Dharmakshetre Kurukushetre'
|Kurukshetra the sacred place of right action.
|The Jiva.
|The mind which can see but many times chooses not to see.
The couple, Dhritarashtra and Gandhari, produced a hundred evil sons. Similarly, a person who has a mind that does not cooperate, has a head full of over a hundred negative thoughts. The human mind is such that in spite of all the education a person has had, it drags them into unrighteous things leading them into trouble. Many people find it almost impossible to quit their harmful addictions simply because of the fact that they are not able to make up their mind. This is because the mind pretends to be blind to the harmful effects caused by the addiction.
What kind of people the children, whose parents turn a blind eye to all their actions and don't care about their upbringing, will grow up into is anyone's guess.
|The expression of good human virtues.
|One who bravely faces challenges and is sincere and steady at all times.
|A straightforward person who is fast and always straight like an arrow.
|One who is fearless and strong.
|One who is indiscriminate and considers all to be equal.
|One who is friendly to all.
|Arjuna's own people like his cousins, uncles, friends, etc
|They are like the prejudices people have. They keep them close to their heart and find it difficult to give up any one of them.
The Chariot analogy
|The body.
|The path the chariot drives on
|The physical and material world in which the body lives.
|The horses
|The five senses.
|The reins
|The Mind, which controls the senses.
|Krishna who holds the reins and controls the horses
|The intellect controls the mind and the senses.
SBG 2:55 One who gives up all desires of the mind, O Arjuna, and when one has a purified mind and is in a pure state of the soul, he is called a man of steady consciousness.
SBG 2:56 He who is not agitated or disturbed despite the threefold miseries (anger, greed and lust), or is also not euphoric when he has comforts, and is free from attachment, fear and anger, is a sage with a steady mind.
Jai Shri Krishna.

Mackley Reports Progress on Shoreham Flood Defence Scheme
Work on the Shoreham Adur Tidal Walls scheme is well underway, with piling works at two of the project's 10 reaches now finished.
The project is being carried out by Mackley, working as part of Team Van Oord and on behalf of the Environment Agency, Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership, Adur District Council and West Sussex County Council.
Once completed, the project will significantly reduce flood risk to over 2,300 properties in Shoreham and East Lancing, protecting important local infrastructure such as the road network, railway line, and Shoreham Airport.
According to Mackley, the scheme is separated into 10 reaches, or lengths of the estuarine bank. The design of the flood defenses varies between the reaches as they have different characteristics and are subject to different pressures and potential flood impacts. The proposed defenses include steel sheet piling, concrete walls, flood glass and earth embankments.
The company reported yesterday that installation of steel sheet piles at reach W4 (west of the footbridge) and E1 (Shoreham High Street) have now been completed, with the latter ahead of schedule. While piling works in E3 are almost complete, the remaining work is on hold until Network Rail has finished improvements to the railway bridge.
Work is now set to begin at W6 (Adur Recreation Ground), while the project team is currently consulting with residents in advance of construction works at W2 (Emerald Quay to South Wharf), W3 (Riverside Road) and W5 (Riverbank).
Reach W6 comprises the west bank of the River Adur between the A259 and the railway bridge. Phase one of this section of work (tidal pool, embankment and concrete works along river frontage) is expected to continue until June 2017.

text: Home European manganese alloys markets under long-term pressure European manganese alloys prices are extending their losses in the spot market in line with weaker demand from the steel sector, and further weighed by persistent falls in manganese ore prices in recent months, industry sources told Fastmarkets. The silico-manganese market weakened by almost 4% to €840-860 ($926-949) per tonne from €880-890 per tonne in the past week, after suppliers cut their offer prices to encourage buying interest from domestic consumers. The silico-manganese market is at a level last seen on November 4, 2016, when the price range was assessed at €820-930 per tonne delivered. The medium-carbon ferro-manganese market dropped by 4.2% to €1,230-1,260 per tonne delivered, from €1,275-1,325 per tonne, due to suppliers trying to encourage buying appetite from steelmakers. About 90% of total world manganese production is used in alloy form in steel for use mostly in construction. Silico-manganese key applications are in long steel products for the construction sectors, such as wire mesh and reconditioned bar. Ferro-manganese is...

Zayn Malik Flirting With Kylie Jenner On Twitter After Perrie Edwards Split? — Pic
Zayn Malik has been single for like, what? 5 minutes now? And he's already publicly flirting with a new girl, Kylie Jenner! He favorited a photo she posted of herself on Twitter one week after breaking up with Perrie Edwards!
Now that Zayn Malik, 22, is a single, is he ready to mingle? The former One Direction member ended his three and a half year relationship with Little Mix singer Perrie Edwards, 22, via text message at the end of July. Days after dumping Perrie, Zayn took to Twitter and faved a sexy pic of Kylie Jenner, 17! Is he trying to get the reality star's attention?! See the pic!
As you can see above, Zayn really did fav Kylie's pic! And we think the most interesting part of this entire situation is the fact that Zayn has only faved a total of 10 tweets…..ever! He must have really liked that pic of Kylie to hit his fav button! This is the full pic that Zayn faved:
Outfit 😎 pic.twitter.com/2Zc9hv7IqB
— Kylie Jenner (@KylieJenner) July 30, 2015
He's def trying to get Kylie's attention, right? And she looks so hot in the pic! We can't help but feel sorry for Perrie though. HollywoodLife.com just EXCLUSIVELY learned that Zayn really did break up with her over text message, according to a source close to Perrie.
"It's unbelievable, he's an immature little boy with no thought for anyone else's feelings," The Sun also reported. "Perrie is one of the sweetest girls in the world and she's stood by him through thick and thin. But he ended their engagement with one text message and in the two weeks since there's been complete radio silence between them."
HollywoodLifers, do you think it's messed up for Zayn to already hit on another girl? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

There are many current trends in dinnerware, and with two new collections from BauscherHepp, you can pretty much cover them all.
More and more, we see dinnerware patterns and décor that is rooted in nature, earthly designs, and geography. Wood, earth tones, elements – they're all part of the current trends. Places, famous locations, antiquity – they're all being played out on table tops across New England. Finally, there's the trend of mixing and matching, a combination of all these different styles, that are also adding some popular imperfections to our preferences.
BauscherHepp has two new collections that capitalize on the trends of nature, geography, and eccentricity.
Just one look at Meltemi, and you can see where it gets its inspiration. From the coast of Portugal across the famous isles of Greece to the shores of Turkey, this stunning collection is a breath of fresh air to some of the more buttoned-up options – in more ways than one.
Meltemi is the name of the winds that blow in the summer months across the Mediterranean, particularly in Turkey and Greece, that can often strand travelers on some of those amazing vacation locales. The collection is designed to be a bit eccentric, with various patterns and styles that stem from the contrasting whites and blues of the Greek flag. Look for geometric designs and the famous Greek octopus from antiquities to add some flair to your Mediterranean plates.
Sienna is what we call a return to earth. Styled after the famous clays in and around Siena, Italy, this collection uses contrasts to make its point.
The burnt sienna and raw sienna colors we've come to enjoy in art are originally derived from the terra di Siena, which means earth of Siena. The reds and oranges from these natural clays and soils pair with stark, white patterns in Tafelstern's Sienna collection to bring out the best in both hues. At the same time, the clay colored options are matte, while the white are glossy, which adds an entirely new level of contrast in this collection.
Look for Meltemi and Sienna from BauscherHepp. Request your samples today.

Transitional Kitchens
For homeowners who cannot choose between traditional and modern kitchen designs, a transitional design is the perfect solution. It usually boasts fusion features. For example, a refrigerator that looks like a retro appliance but has modern performance features with better energy efficiency may be chosen.
A transitional kitchen design is meant to be elegant like a traditional design without taking away the comfortable feeling or practicality of a modern style. Blending a sleek new look with classic sophistication can be difficult without the help of a professional.
When professionals help with a transitional kitchen design, they usually consider the following criteria:
- What the homeowner likes
- The homeowner's preferred features
- Desired colors, textures and features
- Budget concerns
- Feasibility of design layout
Once homeowners think about these issues, they can usually narrow down their choices. Since some transitional pieces can be expensive, people who have a tighter budget may need to make a list of priorities with the must-have features at the top and the preferred ones at the bottom. Most people are surprised by the innovative transitional kitchen design solutions created by professionals.

Guest Columnists - What makes a good Kata?
What makes a good Kata? Answer: 'Form'.
Our 'own' form makes a good Kata.
All too often, nowadays, people strive for so many values within Kata, and yet miss the basic principles of what it is. Kata is the 'raw' energy that Karate is all about. Kata is 'the way' ... It is the spirit, method, and foundation of what we do.
Kata is the 'freedom of martial expression'. We should not 'dwell' or 'concern' ourselves on whether one Wado Kata is different from another Wado Kata (I know three versions of Wanshu - who cares?!). We must be true to 'ourselves' not to others. Our Kata is what we are, appreciate it for all its worth and just get on and practise it.
The secret of the Kata is contained within, and it can only be discovered by constant practise. Explore and understand the 'geometry', 'mechanics', 'bunkai', 'rhythm', and the 'shin' of each of the Kata, for every Kata, although similar, are so very different.
Ikita-Kata - Kata must be alive and done with feeling and purpose.
Inen - Kata must be performed with spirit.
Chikara-no-Kyojaku - Kata should be done with changes in application of power. Technique can be strong or yielding, hard then soft.
Waza-no-Kankyu - Kata should be done with variations in the timing of movement, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
Kisoku-no-Donto - Kata must be done with proper breathing rhythm, when to inhale and exhale.
Kinto - Proper balance must be maintained in the performance of Kata.

DERMA, Miss. (WTVA) - Police in Derma say a suspect has been arrested in connection with a recent shooting.
Derma Police Chief Stephen Faddock is not releasing the suspect's name just yet. However, Faddock says one or two more arrests in the case are expected.
According to law enforcement, an argument at Derma Fast Stop escalated to where shots were fired into vehicles around 8:30 p.m. Friday. No one was hurt, but a stray bullet did enter the store.
Shaif Alqatani, one of the store owner's sons, says his father and little brother were inside the convenience store at the time of the shooting.
Surveillance cameras captured the incident, showing the physical altercation as well as the moment shots were fired. Cameras also captured the moment the last bullet entered the store through a window.
Alqatani says a similar incident happened with the same people at his family's store not too long ago. He also says Derma is a quiet community and it is not the locals that start the trouble.
"It's just people coming from different cities and they have problems with people over here," said Alqatani. "That is what makes things go on over here."
The chief adds he does not believe this shooting is connected to a recent shooting in Calhoun City.

From pot noodles to popcorn, taking an established product category and turning it into something more refined has been a common route to success for many of Britain's entrepreneurs. 'Premiumisation' has given us the likes of Chase Vodka (voted best in the world), Pieminister's multi-award winning pies and Fever Tree's premium mixers.
Unsurprisingly this is a trend that has also crept its way into the market for pet products. A report this year by Euromonitor said the UK market for pet food grew by 4% and pet products by 5%, and that it expected prices to rise further in the future due to growing demand for premium goods.
'As the signs of economic recovery intensified, pet owners were keen to get the best for their pets, in spite of rising prices observed across all categories,' it noted.
Billy + Margot produces iced treats for dogs
'There's this trend of humanisation of our animals,' says Marie Sawle, MD and founder of Billy + Margot, which provides ice cream, popcorn and other treats for dogs. 'We now tend to feed them more like how we feed ourselves.'
She came up with the business after a particularly hot day one summer when she gave her dog, Billy, some ice cream, before realising it wasn't very healthy for a dog. After searching online she was surprised to find a total lack of iced treats for dogs and decided to make them herself.
It's certainly captured some public attention. Turnover doubled this year and 150,000 tubs have been sold since launch. Last year Marie sold a 40% stake to Deborah Meaden on Dragons' Den for £60,000 and she's recently sold 18 palettes of ice treats to Holland.
Sawle admits 'there are aspects of what we do that on paper sound a little crazy', but insists it fulfils an important demand from pet owners. 'With the popcorn, [when we were] doing our research, many dog owners said they were giving the dog their own popcorn.'
Pet products are something the producers of Dragons' Den clearly have a hankering for. Another business pursued (unsuccessfully) by Deborah Meaden was Pure, which makes human grade, dehydrated dog food. High quality ingredients including duck, apple, potato and eggs are dried out to preserve them and lock in flavour and nutrients and then mixed with water before eating. It sounds pretty tasty but MT is unaware if any owners tend to tuck in alongside their mutts.
Co-founders Daniel Valdur Eha and Matthew Cockroft produced what Duncan Bannatyne described as the 'possibly the best pitch I have seen' in the programme's history. Valdur Eha admits they were 'torn' over taking investment from Meaden but says the 'terms of investment didn't feel right for us and we ultimately turned down the offers that were made.'
He doesn't expect to regret the decision. Sales have boomed since the show aired and the business is now manufacturing 1,000% more product than at the start of the year.
Jo Amit and Mark Hirschel of Butch & Bess
Another business capitalising on this 'humanisation' is Butch & Bess, a brand of dog grooming products including natural perfume and detangler spray made with essential oils.
'A lot of people were asking us for more natural pet products,' says MD and co-founder Mark Hirschel. 'There's a real humanisation happening in the pet industry and it has been happening over the last four or five years. People are starting to demand the same sort of quality they would otherwise give to themselves.'
Hirschel created the business with his colleague Jo Amit after a less successful pet products venture and says its first year has been 'radical.'
'There's no other way to describe it' he says. 'It's been highly stressful, extremely time consuming, there's been loads of different ups and downs.'
He adds that sales figures are where they were hoping to be at this point and the business is now looking to take on a large investment. It's currently finalising plans to launch the brand with a North American partner.
'The pet industry itself is a booming industry,' says Hirschel. 'People always say that in times of recession there's two industries you should be in: pets or kids. As people, when times are down, we continue to spend on kids or our pets, but maybe take away some of the stuff we would otherwise spend on ourselves.'
Beds, leads and accessories
Michael and Nicola Sacher of Mungo & Maud
On a well-heeled street in London's Belgravia you'll find the boutique Mungo & Maud, a 'dog and cat outfitters' targeting particularly discerning clients. Its range includes cashmere sweaters for dogs (starting at £129), a corduroy cat bed for £180 and even a leather pouch for carrying dog poo bags.
The company was founded by husband and wife Michael and Nicola Sacher in 2005 and it's since expanded to another store in Notting Hill, a concession in Harrods and an ecommerce operation, including a distribution facility in North America. Like many entrepreneurs their business was inspired by their own struggle to find the products they wanted.
'We found it was very difficult to find well-designed home accessories for someone who had dogs that would fit into a home and a lifestyle that had been well curated by the people whose home it was,' Michael Sacher says.
'There was very little other than what was available through traditional pet stores which tended to be quite price driven and not necessarily very nicely designed and not necessarily fabricated from good quality raw materials.
'Quite a lot of these things like beds are very large and you don't want to have some sort of hideous primary-coloured object in your nice kitchen if you've taken the time and trouble to make your home look nice.'
Mungo & Maud takes quite a conservative approach to the market ('We don't do bling, we don't really do bright colours at all', Sacher says) and, unlike the other entrepreneurs MT spoke to, is focused more on the lifestyle of its customers than the humanisation of their animals.
'Our offering is about the people, it's not about the pets themselves,' says Sacher. 'Obviously we make sure our beds are comfortable, but it's all about the people and the way they want to live in their homes.'
'There's a lot of talk about people humanising their pets but it's not really about that for us. It's more about if someone's got a nice handbag and they're conscious about how they look and about how people perceive them, then they prefer to have a quality well-designed lead and collar when they go out walking.'
If you've got a precious pet to pamper this Christmas or just want to make sure Fifi's lead matches your shoes then it looks like you'll be spoilt for choice.

Phobias restrict your life to varying degrees, some more than others.
Examples of common phobias are agoraphobia, claustrophobia, social phobia, specific animal phobias such as snakes or sharks and miscellaneous phobias such as a fear of heights etc.
These are all treatable with hypnosis.
The less common phobias, such as anablephobia – a fear of looking up – are just as treatable using hypnosis.
Phobias tend to either be learnt from, for example, someone in the family or they may be as a result of a traumatic experience, usually occurring at a young age. 94% of phobias are prevalent since childhood.
Set yourself free from your phobia today!
50% of the population are affected by phobias, 4% of them severely.
If you are suffering with a phobia you will have an abnormal fear brought on by a situation or a particular object where the fear is beyond your voluntary control, where fear may lead you to avoid certain situations and your level of fear is excessive to the demands of a situation.

In Which I Discover Tarot
She flips the cards slowly, deliberately. Strength. Her eyes light up, as though she's just made a discovery that she can't keep to herself. "What this card is trying to tell you is that you want the courage to go after your future. Your heart's desire is the strength to do the things you need. How interesting."
Next one, Heirophant: "Institution. Following the rules. Being confined." Then, 5 of swords: "Being frustrated by that institution, feeling confined by the rules that you feel forced to follow." Lastly, the Hangman. She frowns at this last card because it does not hold a joyful message for me: go with the flow. "How interesting. What I get from this card is that you should stop trying to reach your goals for a moment, stop being frustrated that the institution isn't taking you where you want to go, and just let it happen. Take a break. Hang out in limbo."
Three major arcana and one minor arcana in the very center of the 1-10 spectrum. My spread is a very symmetrical spread.
And suddenly, a weight has been lifted. I no longer have to feel as though my goals mesh with that of the person I love and live with. I no longer wonder "What will happen to me after I graduate? If I'm not successful now, I have no chance of getting there by that time." I no longer feel as though I am searching for a place that doesn't exist – I'm no longer forcing a success that I believe must happen NOW or I will not be satisfied. I will not have a home.
But I will. And she has made me see this. I remain haunted by this spread all afternoon.
Then, a trip to famous footwear, where I go with the flow and buy 2 pairs of shoes for $20. Sushi dinner with my parents, where I go with the flow and let them pay because I will never be able to afford sushi without them to help me. I go with the flow and end the run of the play I've been doing, feeling light. Feeling good.
Then I come home. I go with the flow and I head to the bedroom where I cry and cry and cry and wonder if I'll ever truly stop.

I really don't like admitting this to myself or anyone else, but, the truth is, I'm a co-dependent. My wife and I are both co-dependents upon each other. I have had co-dependency issues for all of my adult life, especially when I'm in a relationship with another person. Alone, as a single guy, I never feel complete and whole. I NEED another person in my life to make me feel whole and completely alive and engaged. It's not so bad that I can't deal with being single, but I definitely prefer and feel best when I'm part of a couple.
The big problem with being co-dependent is that when you're so dependent on another person and wrap your whole existence into them, if they leave for some reason, even just for one night, it can be devastating. I experienced this, at its worst, in college. My girlfriend was going to be away for most of the summer touring and working in Europe. I was going through a really hard time with my family at that point and had secured a job on campus for the summer so I didn't have to go home. The only problem with that is that all of my friends were gone and my girlfriend, my life line at the time, was leaving too. She was supposed to come down to school for the weekend right before she was to leave for Europe. I waited and waited for her to show up and as the hours ticked slowly by I grew more and more worried that something had happened to her, so finally I called her mom's house and was told that her plans had changed suddenly and she had left early that morning for Austria. Her mom was supposed to call me and tell me but she had forgotten. I was devastated. I had, in my mind, really needed to see her that one last time before she left. We didn't get to say goodbye properly and I felt an array of emotions that ranged from depressed to angry.
That summer, I fell into an abyss of depression that nearly took my life. I was suicidal at times and had absolutely no desire to eat. I lost about 30 pounds. Time stood still that summer. It was the longest three months of my life. I lived for the letters she would send me from her travels and the occasional visit to campus from a mutual friend. The thing that got me through that summer was exercise. I had nothing to do at night so I started going to the gym and using the pool, weight room and racquet ball court. I played racquet ball for an hour, lifted weights for an hour and then swam laps until I was exhausted. At the end of the summer my body was tan from mowing grass all day and fit and lean from all the gym time. And I had more confidence too. I was sure that she would come home and be awe struck at how much sexier I was than when she left. But instead, her letters started talking about this man she met in Zurich in a vague way alluding to the fact that she had feelings for him. By the time she got home she had decided to break it off with me. I wasn't surprised, since I've always been somewhat intuitive and I saw this coming. Still, it was a punch in the gut after all I'd been through over the summer. I vowed to never let myself get that co-dependent on another person as long as I lived.
And I haven't. But I'm still a co-dependent nevertheless. I don't think that will ever change. I just manage it by trying to keep my boundaries strong and pursuing my interests even if my partner doesn't share them. It takes a lot of mental and emotional stamina to not fall into that pit again and let the other person become my whole world. It's so much easier when someone else is in charge. Until it isn't because they leave for some reason.
I've been reminded of my co-dependent tendencies lately. My wife has had to travel for work twice in the last 30 days, leaving for 4-7 days at a time. For days leading up to both trips I dreaded her leaving and felt myself feeling more and more depressed as the day came for her to leave. I wanted to spend every moment with her and cling to her as long as I could. The sinking feeling in my gut and ache in my heart when she got in the car to leave both times was a hot reminder of how dependent I am on her. For the first day after she leaves I mope around the house like a lost puppy. I don't sleep well because I don't feel secure by myself and every little creak in the house wakes me up. By the second day I'm better but my heart still feels a bit heavy. By day three, I'm mostly back to normal but still feel less secure than I do when she's around. And then, of course, when she arrives home all is well again in my world.
It pains me that I still struggle with my insecurities at this point in my life. I want to be one of those people who doesn't need others to make them happy. I wish I could say that I love myself so much that I don't need another person to make me feel complete. But I'm not that guy. I can manage just fine on my own if I have to but I don't prefer it. That's the truth. I'm happiest when I'm coupled up. My wife is my soul mate and the love of my life. If I lost her it would be devastating to me. I don't think there's any sense in trying to deny that or to fight it. It just is what it is. I would survive, but I wouldn't thrive.
Fortunately, I now have a support system in place that I wasn't aware of back in college. I had this support system then too, but just didn't know it. I'm talking about my Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels. No matter where I go, what I do or what I go through, they are always there with me. All I have to do is call out to them either silently or out loud and they are with me. They are my best friends, my confidants, my protectors, and my mentors. Completely loyal and with me for life, they will never abandon me or betray me. When I feel scared or insecure I call on them and they comfort me in ways that another human can't. They're always on my side, but they do call me on my crap too, so they keep me honest. Just knowing that they're always with me makes me feel so much more secure. The other thing that is a big help is my crystals. Each morning I go into my office and ask the pendulum which ones want to spend the day with me. Usually 3 or 4 will test yes with the pendulum. I tuck them into a little pouch and carry them in my pocket. When I get to work I will set them out on my desk. Occasionally I will feel the need to wear one around my neck. Yesterday, my heart was still hurting from my wife leaving on her trip so I wore a rose quartz pendant on my neck so that the quartz hung right over my heart. It really helped clear my heart energy out. And, finally, my secret weapons in all of this is my relationship with the Archangels. I rely heavily on Michael and Rafael, but Metatron and Gabriel are also ones I call on at times. Michael is the big protector so whenever I am feeling scared or insecure I call on him. Rafael is great if I'm not feeling well or am worried about my health. Metatron is also a big protector but also great for clearing and cleaning energy. Gabriel is wonderful if you need to tell someone something and feel unsure about it. My own Guardian Angel, Charlotte, is powerful on her own. She does a lot of work to keep me safe and secure and is a powerful healer too.
If you've read this far, I can imagine that you relate at least somewhat to what I've been sharing with you. It's not easy for me to confess how weak and insecure I feel most of the time. But I do this because I want you to know that you, too, have a team of Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels that are always with you and that you are never ever alone in this life. No matter how alone you feel, you aren't. They're there with you. They're just waiting for you to acknowledge them and ask for their help. Ask them to wrap you up in their love and make you feel safe and just lean into their arms as they hold you up in your dark moments. They will not let you fall. They love you unconditionally and more than you can imagine. Talk to them. Write them letters. Ask them to show you signs that they are around. Listen for little messages from them. They will show up for you if you ask. They need you to ask. They need you to call out to them and ask for them to show themselves in your life. Don't expect for them to visibly show up as a human, but look for the little bread crumbs that they leave for you. Songs on the radio. Feathers. Names or words or even numbers that keep recurring in your perception. Maybe you'll hear a little whisper in your ear or a knowing or a warmth. No matter how they show up, know that they are always there watching, guiding, protecting and never judging. They love you even if you don't think anyone else does and you're never alone.

There seems to be some confusion about what exactly the latest version of the law means when it comes to taping police officers while on the job. ACLU's Adam Schwartz joins us with some answers.

These photographs show an era that ended nearly half a century ago. When the large warehouse located on the west quay ceased production of rope and tarpaulin, and with the further loss of other rail traffic, the decision was made to close the west quay tramway in 1963. The powerful Terrier 2636 "FENCHURCH" is still hard at work and now located a few miles north of Newhaven on the Bluebell railway.

Newhaven sheds - March 2008
Laurie Stonehouse
I worked on the footplate at Newhaven until 1962. There appeared to be a "Resident" driver for the Terriers; a Mr Smith.
The picture of the E4 - that looks remarkably like me as the Fireman. I always wore my hat like that, high at the front and well down at the sides. Thank you for sharing these pictures with us. It has certainly brought back some fond memories for me.
The pictures of 32678 (once named "Knowle") were taken by Dick Riley on the last day of the breakwater Branch - 10 August 1963. The person visible on the footplate in both photos is the shunter, Bob Cobden. Maurice Smith was the driver.
The E4 appears to be reversing out of Town station into the up side sidings (note that the shunt signal dummy is "off" authorising the move southwards).
How many terriers were 'stabled' at Newhaven as there appears to be three different locomotives in these photos (not including the E4)?
Rob - Newhaven became a sub shed of Brighton in early BR days, from when only one Terrier was based in the town shed. Until 1956 this was usually 32636 (Fenchurch) but thereafter Brighton sent any of its Terriers to Newhaven, subshedded for a couple of weeks at a time. In Southern Railway days, Newhaven had 2 Terriers, 2636 (Fenchurch) being joined by 2647 (Cheapside) in 1936. 2647 moved to Hayling Island in April 1951 but broke a crank axle and was scrapped, still in pre-war Southern livery, in October 1951.
Maybe my mind is playing tricks but on a trip on the train to Seaford with my mum in the early 70's she pointed out a small steam engine on a siding at Seaford by the goods yard. I remember this because it was the only steam loco I had seen at that time before being taken to the Bluebell. Any idea what it was and why it was there.?
In 1949 when I left school I started work as a cleaner at Newhaven loco shed, where I joined my mother's brothers, Uncles Ted & Jack Hillman who were both drivers, (the latter being my guardian from 1939). My first day's work was cleaning the boiler (red hot) of Atlantic Class loco "Beachy Head" and I just hope I live long enough to see it in steam again on the Bluebell Rly. On another occasion I remember cleaning an E4 class loco still in its wartime black, and sideways on in the shed light, saw on the the tank side some brown paintwork with the words 'Birch Grove' which did'nt mean a lot to me at the time. That loco is now preserved on the Bluebell Railway.
Having been passed as a cleaner, my first day acting as a fireman was on an E4 class loco and having booked on at 4.45am we travelled "light engine" (not hauling any trucks or carriages) to Lewes where we coupled-up to a full load and travelled back to Newhaven then on to Seaford.
The best turn of all was with a Terrier, and having booked on at 6.45 am, we would attach a dozen trucks or so and haul them over the swing bridge and down the breakwater where they were detached. Then it was back to the shed put the loco away and be home in doors at 1.30pm. The permanent driver at the time was Bogie Simmons.
A good book published by Middelton Press is entitled "Haywards Heath to Seaford" and contains some good photos of the area.
I wish I had owned a camera at the time because one summer weekend in the early 1950's while working nights and acting as shed fireman, in the height of the the summer traffic the shed was full with locos of several classes, Brighton Atlantics, Terriers, Moguls, E4s, a C2 Vulcan and a Schools Class. There was even a West Country class loco for boat train traffic, however using those West Country locos was short lived because they came off the rails on the sharp curve into the shed.
Does anyone who worked at Newhaven Loco remember what a shift on the West Quay Tramroad involved? Were the Sheet Loft, Oil Tank and Breakwater Yard all served every day or was it "as required"? I remember there being a spur at the Oil Tank and one at the Breakwater Yard, but the only loop I can think of was behind Chapel Street. How did the engine run round its train for the return journey?
Bruce, further to my comments in 2009, when I started in 1949 & until at least 1953 the shift was Mon to Sat booking on at 6 45am leaving the shed at 7 30am, then picking up trucks from either the middle yard, harbour, north quay, then over the bridge with Mr Avis leading the way with his red flag !!!. The load being a mixed bag of oil for the cross channel boats, sheet loft, items for the light house, breakwater & the general upkeep of the west quay. Then pick up from the same areas & return and repeat, obviously during spring & summer we carried more loads. usually back in the shed by 1pm and put the engine away. During the time I was there we had two terriers based at Newhaven one cold & they would switch with others from Brighton. Jack Simmons was then the permanent driver & towards the end & because he was the senior driver, Maurice Smith became the driver and was I guess the last driver at a Newhaven.
Hi Dave, I don't suppose you can remember how many engines were in the shed at one time? Like at the Beginning of the day?
