Two retired NFL players on Monday asked a judge to let them formally support a former college quarterback's legal fight with video game maker Electronic Arts Inc.
Hall of Famers Herb Adderley and Jim Brown asked U.S. District Court Judge Claudia Wilken to let them file the legal document in support of former Nebraska Cornhusker Sam Keller, who sued EA and the NCAA in Oakland federal court last year.
Keller, who also played for Arizona State University before transferring, accused the Redwood City, Calif., company and the NCAA of unfairly using images of college basketball and football players in its NCAA Football and NCAA Basketball games.
EA and the NCAA argue they have a free speech right to use the images, which don't include the players' names but often reflects the players' race, jersey number and athletic ability. EA and the NCAA argue that they are allowed to use the images without players' permission because the video game action is based on freely available data such as their "likenesses, performance statistics and biographical information."
They argue that that publicity rights claims such as Keller's are limited to advertisements rather than to video games.
A federal judge in Los Angeles on Wednesday tossed out Brown's similar lawsuit against EA for using his image in the company's "vintage" games in "Madden NFL."
U.S District Court Judge Florence Marie-Cooper ruled that video games are much like realistic paintings of athletes depicted in real-life situations, which are protected by the First Amendment as artistic expressions.
"The Madden NFL video games are expressive works, akin to an expressive painting that depicts celebrity athletes of past and present in a realistic sporting environment," Cooper wrote.
Ron Katz, a lawyer who represents Adderley and Brown, said that Cooper's ruling has no effect on how Judge Wilken in Oakland will handle Keller's lawsuit.
Katz wrote in his filing Monday that allowing EA to profit from the college athletes' images without their permission "would mean that EA could use for free the identity of thousands of present and former collegiate and professional athletes, eliminating any legal reasons for EA to continue any licensing, and giving it a windfall worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
Wilken will consider arguments by EA and the NCAA to toss out Keller's case on Nov. 17. She will also consider whether to allow Adderley and Brown to file their friend of the court brief then.
Adderley recently settled a lawsuit on behalf of hundreds of NFL retirees for $26.25 million that involved EA. A jury agreed last year that the NFL Players Association allowed EA to use the retirees' images without compensation. EA was not a party to that lawsuit. | <urn:uuid:05fc49fa-ff6f-435d-8013-8df97772cf82> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2009Sep28/0,4670,FBOEASportsLawsuit,00.html | 2016-10-22T04:14:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718423.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00303-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.968855 | 544 | [

MICROSOFT Corporation at its just ended world summit in South Africa, has awarded home grown computer manufacturer, Omatek Computers Limited, the best system builder of the year, 2005.
Disclosing this to Champion Infotel in Lagos, the managing director, Omatek, Mrs. Florence Seriki, said the award was announced at the annual world summit of the corporation where its partners and employees converged to chart a new course for the corporation.
The award, she said, came despite the immense challenges facing computer manufacturers locally in the country.
Omatek boss said the company has repositioned its brand with foreign brands as it now uses the same ingredients its competitors use in developed nations.
To this end, Omatek said that currently it has some of the firm’s technical partners working locally with the company.
The award which is for the West, Central and East Africa otherwise known as WECA within the Microsoft family, is encouraging to the company.
Champion Infotel also calls to mind that the Presidency, recently requested progress report on Omatek computers through the Ministry of Industries, even as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in recognition of the company effort, bought a set of Personal Computer (PC) from Omatek at the Telecom Africa held in Egypt earlier in the year.
In addition, the Nigeria Computer Society (NCS), commended Omatek Computers for its high quality computer products.
NCS led by Dr. Chris Nwannenna, stated this while leading officials of the group to Omatek factory at Oregun-Ikeja. He said the inspection tour was a way of rallying support for local entrepreneurship by the group.
He also said, “This step was also to boost the morale of NCS members occupying strategic decision making positions in both public and private sectors of the economy, and their organisations”.
NCS’ visit coincided with the Omatek Computers’ factory connection to the national grid of the public electricity company, the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) in over a year of its existence.
The group, the largest association for IT professional in the country, said, it was heart-warming to see the kind of Omatek factory growing.
“It’s a thing of pride not only to Nigeria, but Africa, that such a factory could actually exist to meet the growing market for computers,” Dr. Nwannenna said. | <urn:uuid:3a2743db-cc51-4252-8cf2-2890454acd92> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.itrealms.com.ng/2005/09/omatek-emerges-microsofts-best-builder.html | 2016-10-22T03:28:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988718423.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183838-00303-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.959676 | 517 | [

Last night I wrote a post about Dartmouth President Kim in which I quoted from a presentation he gave about leadership. In the presentation, which Scott added to the post, Kim quotes with justified approval and pride his father’s words to him: “If you think this country owes you anything, you’re crazy; you have to get a skill.”
Moments later, in talking about a visit to Haiti, Kim mentions several times how “privileged” he is. But in what sense is Kim “privileged” if, as he says, his country didn’t owe him anything, and he had to learn and work for whatever he got?
The word “privileged” is a staple of the left, and especially its race-mongers. Honest discussion would be advanced if the word lost that status. Sometimes it is used to mean “wealthy.” More often, it is used, as I think Kim did, to mean “fortunate.” Between them, these words cover the phenomenon in question well enough.

It’s immensely exciting to see Larry Lessig thinking about a run for the House, filling the vacancy left by the passing of Tom Lantos. As Lessig notes, the other candidate in the primary is an exceptional politician, and he isn’t considering the run because of any animus against her. I’ve no doubt they will work together as colleagues if she wins the primary.
If he runs, and I suspect he will, it will be to fight against the corrupting influence of cash on politics. A political system where individual citizens giving small donation dominate the race for political office is a far better system than one where the citizens’ watchdogs have to look to corporate interests for large donations. Barack Obama is showing that a presidential campaign can be run largely (though not yet entirely) off of small donations. Lessig wants to show that the same is true of House races, even in expensive media markets like the California 12th. I expect he’ll have to raise a couple million dollars between now and mid-April if he wants to win.
There are those who try to demonize such grassroots fundraising. Josh Gerstein complained recently about secret money flooding campaigns:
A torrent of secret money is flooding into the leading presidential campaigns, with more than $118 million, or one-quarter of the total raised in this cycle, banked without disclosure of who gave the funds or where the donations originated.
The money is coming from hundreds of thousands of donations of $200 or less, which have been widely praised for democratizing the system for funding White House bids. However, the surge in low-dollar gifts has come at the cost of transparency, since federal law only requires campaigns to itemize donations when a donor gives more than $200.
Obama recently got his half-millionth donor of the year, and are approaching the millionth donor of the campaign. By Gerstein’s numbers, and assuming that the average donation for all the small donors is $100, 1.2 million people have made such small donations to a candidate (though that assumes that no one donated to multiple candidates). That’s an amazing number, and it speaks to the power of direct democracy.
What does my $100 donation to Barack Obama or a similar donation to Professor Lessig buy me?
At best, I and the other small donors can expect a successful candidate who raised so much money in such small increments from so many different people to remember that there is a great mass of people who believed in her or him early on, and as a result will conduct himself or herself in a manner that the general population would approve of. Hardly a bad thing.
Lessig, for those who don’t know, is one of the nation’s great public intellectuals. He is a respected law professor and author of important books exploring the relationship between mass media, intellectual property, and individual rights to reuse elements of our shared culture. He argued before the Supreme Court against a retroactive copyright extension. After ten years building a powerful movement for copyright reform, he recently announced a shift in focus to a broader look at the sort of legal corruption our campaign finance system allows.
If you want to show that it can be a different way, there is a “Draft Lessig” movement, a Facebook group and you can donate to the campaign through Act Blue. If he decides not to run, the money raised will be donated to Creative Commons, a group Lessig founded that uses copyright to create a more open society and encourage sharing of ideas and content. TfK is published under a Creative Commons license.
Having Lessig in Congress would be marvelous. There was a time when Congress was the place where great minds and great speakers went to hash out the great challenges of the modern day. Somewhere, that debate moved out of Congress. The issues are still there, and the nation would be stronger if more of our great minds would take a few years and serve the public good by tangling with the tough details of turning principle in practice. Lessig’s campaign has a chance to make real change, and his presence at the seat of power will make this a better and stronger nation. | <urn:uuid:1ad57f52-f91d-4cb8-84f0-14c36246da82> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://scienceblogs.com/tfk/2008/02/20/lessig-for-congress/ | 2016-10-23T08:55:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988719192.24/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183839-00365-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.957957 | 860 | [

A friend asked me where to go for this combo and I was stumped.
LA is a fairly lousy BBQ town -- and even lousier for BBQ with hard liqour.
I suggested they go for Korean BBQ -- soju is hard enough -- but that didn't fly.
So.... there's Boneyard Bistro in Sherman Oaks and Baby Blue's in WeHo...anything else?

August Alsina went through some painful surgery in order to sustain the eyesight he has left.
While quickly becoming one of the biggest R&B stars in the game, August Alsina has quietly been dealing with a horrible eye disease, one that has left him blind in his left eye, and with deteriorating vision in his right. Thankfully, Alsina has undergone a surgery to ensure his vision will be maintained-- but it looks pretty damn terrifying.
The singer shared an image of the process on Instagram last night, where we see his eyes held open with metal clasps we didn't realize existed outside of A Clockwork Orange. Meanwhile, green light is being projected directly into his corneas. Alsina described the experience as "beyond painful," though he was mainly just thankful to no longer run the risk of going blind. While we weren't even aware of what he was dealing with, we're happy to hear he's found a solution.
Check out the photo and read his words about the surgery below.
So I have this eye disease.. Blind in my left, and losing vision in my right. In order to prevent my eyesight from deteriorating ihad to do this surgery. This shit is beyond painful & Life be throwin' a nigxa curve balls but what I've gained from it all is priceless... A lot of things that are so natural to us in life (like waking up and being able to see 👀) we can take it for granted. Thank God the OG for allowing me to see..

South African lawyer and anti-apartheid activist Albie Sachs (80) in 1988 lost an arm and the sight in one eye as a result of a car bomb, planted by the apartheid regime. If the perpetrator would be tried in South Africa and was released for lack of evidence, Sachs would be delighted, he has often explained. Because it would mean that in his country would be a free, democratic country, in which the rule of law prevailed. He calls it his ‘soft vengeance’ on the apartheid system. The documentary The Soft Vengeance: Albie Sachs And The New South Africa about his life that bears this title shows how Sachs made a crucial contribution to this new, democratic South Africa.
Claudia Paz y Paz
Claudia Paz y Paz who is portrayed in Burden of Peace, is the first female Attorney General in the history of Guatemala. She had numerous enemies, as she energetically waged war on past and present crimes and human rights abuses. She could not finish her job, but made great progress. ‘We have tackled the idea that it is impossible to change things in Guatemala.’
‘This conflict in DR Congo is a conflict caused by economic interests – and it is being waged by destroying Congolese women.’ This statement of Dr. Denis Mukwege from The Man Who Mends Women, is characteristic for the surgeon from Bukavu. Not only does he treat raped and mutilated women, he also calls politicians in his own country and abroad to account.
It has been almost two years since Edward Snowden from CITIZENFOUR revealed the extent of intelligence agencies privacy violations. The young American whistleblower caused a worldwide debate on surveillance, but paid the price – he can no longer travel or return to his home country. What drove Snowden to become a fugitive and what does his life look like today? Edward Snowden in ten quotes.
In Ukraine, many Russian soldiers die, but their deaths are unacknowledged: Russia is officially not at war with Ukraine. They return – if they are not left behind somewhere on the battlefield – as ‘cargo 200’: the term used in former Soviet Union countries for the transport of fallen soldiers. Along with her organisation, the Soldiers’ Mothers of St. Petersburg, Ella Polyakova from Cargo 200 provides ‘some kind of human rights school’ for soldiers and their kin.
Men have dropped the ball in her country, Nigerian civil rights activist Hafsat Abiola (visible in The Supreme Price) says. Corruption and insecurity in Nigeria are worse than ever. That is why the organisation she founded stimulates women’s leadership. ‘If women are not allowed to play their role, society cannot progress.’
Maryam al-Khawaja from We are the Giant has been described as ‘the sort of woman dictators have nightmares about’. Now operating from Denmark, this Bahraini activist works hard to raise international awareness about the situation in the country where her father is imprisoned. ‘Especially the US keeps empowering the Bahraini government to continue its human rights violations.’
Jamaica, the Caribbean island known for its reggae music, also has a less positive track record as a country where gay, lesbian and transgender people suffer enormous violence. Lawyer Maurice Tomlinson featured in The Abominable Crime was the most visible advocate for the rights of homosexuals in Jamaica for years, until he was outed by a local newspaper. Forced to leave Jamaica, he did not give up the fight. ‘From abroad I can be more outspoken.’
Her entire life, Egyptian writer, activist and physician Nawal el-Saadawi from The Free Voice of Egypt defends women’s and human rights. She broke many political, religious and sexual taboos, and remains a passionate foe of rulers and their use of religion – all rulers, all religions. At 83, she is as outspoken as ever. ‘Religion is a disaster for women.’
Yassin al-Haj Saleh
Amid the destruction of the Syrian civil war, writer and dissident Yassin al-Haj Saleh from Our Terrible Country never lost his belief in human dignity. And also as a refugee in Istanbul, he believes that culture and an open debate will be able to defy oppression and sectarianism in his country. ‘I write to create hope.’ | <urn:uuid:568ac3f6-635b-4213-9264-9540919b5d92> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.moviesthatmatter.nl/english_index/festival/competitie_en_awards_en/matter_of_act_en/activists_2015 | 2016-10-26T13:16:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988720945.67/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183840-00551-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.969428 | 910 | [

At a brief press conference outside the hospital where Peres was fighting for his life, his son Chemi Peres asked Israelis to “pray for him” in “these difficult hours.” Chemi Peres said “difficult decisions” would have to be made in the next few hours.
Sources close to the Peres family said this night that the elder statesman’s life was “in danger” due to bleeding on the brain. The 93-year-old suffered what Channel 1 described as “a massive intracranial hemorrhage.”
Peres underwent two CT scans tonight that showed no change or improvement, and he was in serious condition.
Peres’s office said earlier he was taken to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, outside Tel Aviv, after feeling unwell. It initially said he was conscious and in stable condition, but later confirmed reports that he was sedated and on a respirator, saying his doctors had decided on this course of action as it made diagnosis and treatment more straightforward.
“Former president Peres’s doctors sedated and intubated him so as to best facilitate the continuation of his treatment,” his office said earlier, adding that he would undergo a CT scan “so as to get a full and updated assessment of his situation.”
Peres turned 93 on August 2. | <urn:uuid:381995c1-6be2-4b63-bdfa-16e8807c11a9> | CC-MAIN-2016-44 | http://www.ladunliadinews.com/2016/09/israeli-ex-president-hospitalised-after.html | 2016-10-27T18:46:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2016-44/segments/1476988721387.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20161020183841-00046-ip-10-171-6-4.ec2.internal.warc.gz | en | 0.989686 | 293 | [

HTC is the master of customisation, tweaking its Android handsets to within an inch of their lives. The Radar runs Windows Phone 7.5, and while that's trickier to tinker with, HTC has still produced a unique smartphone.
HTC Radar – loaded with extras
The HTC Hub has the company's signature weather app sitting front and centre. The phone also features HTC's video download store, HTC Watch, along with Locations, the navigation app with free downloadable mapping.
HTC Radar – speed
In use, the Radar feels significantly quicker than many other 1GHz phones. Its lovely rich screen is especially suited to videos, while other HTC widgets come in handy, particularly the sticky Notes app which puts reminders on Post-It style notes which even curl up with age.
HTC Radar – industrial build
HTC’s industrial design is as appealing as ever, with sloping edges and a tactile metallic unibody casing that make the phone feel classy, comfy and solid. The 5MP camera is fast and effective, with the hardware shutter button even usable when the screen is locked.

As always, I learn a lot just by publishing these photographs. Through some source, I had seen this house identified as the Reynolds-McGown House, but Glenda R. Elliott wrote to say this was actually home for many years to her grandparents, Claude & Ruby Hill. Beginning in the 30s, if not the late 20s, my maternal grandparents, Claude and Ruby Hill lived there. The wedding reception of my parents, Jenny Ruth Hill and Edward Elliott, was held there on June 20, 1939. I was born at home there the following June. My mother and I lived there while my father served in World War II. When my father returned from the service, we continued to live there with my grandparents until 1957 when our family sold the house and moved to Thomson. By then my younger sister had been born in ’52, and my grandfather had died in ’55. The house was considerably remodeled during the time my family lived there. As I recall the house was bought by the Foster Jackson family. I (also) clearly recall my grandparents and mother referring to it many times as the “Birdsong House”. I believe this meant it had been built by and/or originally owned by and first lived in by the Birdsong family. Glenda also notes that she’s heard the house dates to 1917-19, but she is still researching it.
And Glenda’s sister, Edlyn Hill Elliott writes: Claude and Ruby Hill bought this house in the 30’s I believe. It was called the Birdsong house. Claude Hill was a USPS carrier and Ruby ran a merchantile store. My mother, Jennye R. Hill was living there & teaching school in Sparta when she married my father Edward C. Elliott. My sister, Glenda was actually born in the house. I was born in Bunion Clinic in Milledgeville, but we still recided in Mayfield, where the house is located. We all lived in the house as an extended family and attended Horeb Baptist Church. In 1957 we moved to Thomson. | <urn:uuid:385fa449-81f7-4be3-a3f5-10b4d1c955fa> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://vanishingnorthgeorgia.com/category/mayfield-ga/ | 2017-11-17T17:13:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803848.60/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117170336-20171117190336-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.991025 | 429 | [

In my attempt to teach my four year old daughter about Hindu culture, I was explaining her this morning that it’s the start of Navratre- Nine days of prayer/religious festivities and we should abstain from eating meat. Hence the idea to write this blog post.
Let’s talk about Navratri/ Navratre and Gudi Padwa- two important Hindu Festivals.
Gudi Padwa or Samvatsar Padvo is celebrated as the first day of the year by Maharashtrians (People residing in Maharashtra region of India) and Konkanis. On this day new Samvatsara, which is cycle of sixty years, starts.
Gudi Padwa is celebrated as Ugadi by the people of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Both Gudi Padwa and Ugadi are celebrated on the same day which was yesterday i.e. March 31st 2014..
Gudi Padwa is Marathi New Year according to Luni-Solar calendar. Luni-Solar calendars consider the position of the Moon and the position of the Sun to divide the year into months and days. The Hindu New Year based on Solar calendar is known as Puthandu in Tamil Nadu, Bihu in Assam, Vaisakhi in Punjab, Pana Sankranti in Orissa and Naba Barsha in West Bengal.
The day begins with ritual oil-bath followed by prayers. Oil bath and eating Neem leaves are must rituals suggested by scriptures. North Indians don’t celebrate Gudi Padwa but start nine days Chaitra Navratri Puja on the same day and also eat Neem with Mishri on the very first day of Navratri. As a kid, I loved Navratri because we got to eat Poori, Kale Chane and Halwa.
Some of the festivities of Gudi Padwa and Navratre include spring cleaning the houses, buying new clothes, family gatherings and making rangoli. Traditionally, families are supposed to begin the festivities by eating the bittersweet leaves of the neem tree. Sometimes, a paste of neem leaves is prepared and mixed with dhane, gul/gur (known as jaggery in English), and tamarind. All the members of the family consume this paste, which is believed to purify the blood and strengthen the body’s immune system against diseases.
Some recipes that are specially made during these occasions include: Puran Poli (Sweet Indian flatbread stuffed with Lentils and coconut), Jeera Aloo ( spicy Indian style potatoes flavoured with cumin seeds), Sago Kheer ( Sweet Indian pudding made with Sago Pearls) and Rice Kheer ( Rice pudding). Various Indian sweets like coconut burfi , Khoya Burfi and Til Ladoo are also made.
Many people choose to fast during Navratri and they eat only fruits, certain sweets like Ghiya Halwa– Squash Pudding, dry fruit and plain yogurt or raitas like Ghiya/Lauki Ka Raita , Aloo Raita etc. There are many variations to fast keeping rules but one thing that is common among all Navratri fasting is that one is suppose to refrain from eating any grains.
Wishing you all a very happy Navratri 2014 from Eateastindian team. May Goddess Durga bless you with her choicest blessings. | <urn:uuid:2fef4b4c-031b-4f6b-bb81-a4ca0393c531> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://eateastindian.com/base/festival-recipes/ | 2017-11-19T06:43:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805417.47/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119061756-20171119081756-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.953273 | 705 | [

If you’re using Synergy for mouse and keyboard sharing, you may find that it suddenly disappears from Ubuntu. It will show up as installed in the Software Centre, but you won’t be able to remove or reinstall it, and there will be no icon on the unity bar.
If you try running it from the command line using the following command.
You may get an error similar to the following.
no configuration file found
The easiest way to solve this is to download the .deb package from the Synergy website, then open up a terminal and install it from there.
sudo dpkg -i synergy-1.4.10-Linux-x86_64.deb
This will then reinstall it and you should then be able to find the programme listed in the dash home. | <urn:uuid:b3c3f182-a89b-4379-accf-618a4a5a208e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.hardwaretutorials.com/category/unix | 2017-11-20T20:46:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806225.78/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120203833-20171120223833-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.864899 | 168 | [

This new guide supersedes BSRIA's well known publication "Allocation of Design Responsibilities for Building Engineering Services TN 21/97 and TN 22/97 Example Drawings". The guide includes new sections covering the latest changes to the RIBA Plan of Work and the respective roles of the architect and building services designer, and also takes into account the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations, amended in April 2006. Like it's forerunners, the new combined Guide is an essential tool for the design engineer. It helps improve a project team's understanding of who is undertaking which design activity on any aspect of building services design, and how this will reduce project risk. It also provides a framework for allocating many of the design activities needed to complete a construction project, to the different members of a project team. Containing design activities and drawing definitions BG 6/2006, this book shows design activities can be broken into key stages and presents them in pro-formas for allocating design among the members of a project team. These are supported by other pro-formas for allocating drawing production. | <urn:uuid:f150a36d-fd79-48d1-b023-c9e0ee3f23d0> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.booksetc.co.uk/books/view/a-design-framework-for-building-services-9780860226567 | 2017-11-21T16:10:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806419.21/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121151133-20171121171133-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.939864 | 222 | [

Coping with out-of-control sexual behavior is not about denying your sexuality. But if you’re struggling with what feels like an addiction to sex, you may not see another way.
If sex is an aspect of your life that enriches your existence—one that you feel in control of—you likely don’t have a sex addiction* (and you probably wouldn’t have landed on this page).
But if you feel burdened with a compulsion toward sex, if you feel at the mercy of sexual impulses/acts that control you, if you know your behavior is harming your relationships, your career, even your own-well-being (and yet you don’t know how to stop), you may need some help in reclaiming your life.
What does problematic sexual behavior look like?
Because sex is perhaps the most intensely personal aspect of being human, it’s also one of the most varied from person to person. Because no two people’s sexual experiences or sexual mindsets are exactly alike, no two sexual addictions are exactly alike either.
But problematic sexual behaviors have something in common: they diminish your life as you wish to live it, rather than add to it—even if they bring pleasure in the moment, they result in emotional pain afterwards.
Someone struggling with out-of-control sexual behaviors feels imprisoned by a mindlessly repetitive behavior that doesn’t lead to connection but rather takes away from connection, a behavior that hijacks other aspects of life, often stealing time away from work and family and friends. Indeed, it can feel so compulsive that it’s no longer enjoyable, but to the contrary, it feels toxic or even makes you feel emotionally empty.
Someone who isn’t suffering in this way might ask at this point, “Well, why not just stop then?”
It’s not that easy. Wanting to stop is most definitely necessary and the most important first step, but willingness alone isn’t enough for those who struggle with problems of sexual impulsivity.
Among other negative consequences, these kinds of out-of-control sexual behaviors have led men to cheat on partners they love and feel horrible about betraying; to pay for sex or to engage in sexual acts in dangerous situations; to neglect work and family while seeking the next form of escape; to ignore their own physical and emotional well-being; to keep secrets from their loved ones and to deny they have a problem when caring people express concern.
It’s not easy to ask for help…especially for men
Often men mistakenly equate asking for help with weakness.
Actually, recognizing that you need help and then seeking help is a sign of strength, not a shortcoming. Still, the male ideal of “stoic pride” is hard to counter, especially when you’ve been raised to believe that you should handle everything on your own.
This fear of being perceived as weak, along with the reluctance to admit to needing help, can obviously stand in the way of men seeking treatment. But more than that, it can even contribute to the underlying problem itself.
The knee-jerk reaction when pain is present (physical or emotion pain) is to avoid or numb the pain in some way. If men are ashamed of their struggles, they tend to push them underground so they can deny them.
But denial doesn’t solve the problem. In fact, denial keeps the underlying issues alive. What is hidden can have great power over us.
Why a sex addiction group for men?
✓ Men need a safe environment to come together with others who know what it’s truly like to be caught in the grips of sexual acting-out;
✓ Too many men have been socialized to ignore and/or devalue their emotional lives (which keeps them vulnerable to self-destructive patterns). The group process offers in-the-moment opportunities to examine the ways in which we defend against our emotional experiences;
✓ Sex — as well as the obsessive thinking about, planning for, and pursuit of sex — offers a powerful way to cover up and temporarily blot out the psychological struggles that are part of many men’s lives. Together we will explore alternative ways to cope with the underlying emotions that sexual excess is being used as a diversion for;
✓ Cycles of sexual acting-out occur in isolation–secrecy — the state of being cut off from one’s emotional needs and from others keeps men vulnerable to patterns of mindless acting-out. Group therapy offers a powerful space to break this painful isolation (and to renew connections to oneself and others);
✓ When hyper-sexualization is used as a defense, increasingly larger portions of one’s experience gets filtered through an erotically-charged lens. This forces the individual to abandon essential parts of himself. This self-division comes at a great psychological cost (to the individual and his relationships). The group creates a space where we support each other and hold each other accountable; we will work together to reclaim those abandoned aspects of selfhood with the goal of regaining emotional wholeness.
Guiding principles of the group
⇒ A therapeutic environment that fosters emotional safety, support, curiosity, “safe uncertainty”** and respectful challenging are integral to the group process;
⇒ Healing occurs in relationship — group interactions offer powerful opportunities for self- and interpersonal examination and growth;
⇒ Pain that is avoided increases the possibility of acting-out behavior. The group prioritizes an exploration and discovery of these shame-based, dissociated experiences;
⇒ An essential task of the group is to build/restore our capacity to identify and observe our experiences without moving into mind-altering or mind-numbing action;
⇒ There is no singular pathway to self-growth. A variety of approaches will be used, including: Psycho-education, mutual support and feedback, practical strategies that foster emotional grounding and self-control, mindfulness/mentalizing approaches, as well as an in-depth/psychodynamic exploration of core wounds.
Fee: $50 per 90-minute group meeting
Session length: 90 minutes
Group duration: The group will run for 16 meetings
Day/Time: Mondays, 6:30pm-8:00pm
Start date: Currently interviewing potential members; start date to be announced
Location: Georgetown, Texas
Taking the next step:
***A 45-minute meeting with Dr. Nicastro is required to help clarify your struggles and to determine if the group is right for you. There is no charge for this meeting. ***
If you are interested in joining the group or have any questions (or if you are seeking individual therapy for sexual acting out), please contact Dr. Rich Nicastro (512) 931-9128 or [email protected]

*The phrase “sex addiction” is being used descriptively for behaviors that are difficult to manage and that are having a negative impact on your life; currently, there is not a consensus in the mental health field about whether out-of-control sexual behaviors meet the criteria for addiction.

Pitch Books, while traditionally utilized by the investment banking community, have taken on a broader application in recent years. You can use a Pitch Book to capture the attention of banks, investors, angels, crowdfunds, partners, and customers. If you want to separate yourself from the crowd and capture the attention of qualified funding sources, then a Pitch Book is a critical resource to have in your quiver.
Can you really expect to attract the right partner or investor if your Pitch Book is less than top quality? How many Pitch Books have you created in your life?
Our founders have investment banking, mergers, acquisitions, business start up, and value creation experience. Having created hundreds of Pitch Books, we know what it takes. | <urn:uuid:88679f7c-0a18-409c-826d-c3a8910c5632> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.ideavibe.com/content_pages/pitchbooks | 2017-11-22T10:42:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806569.66/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122103526-20171122123526-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.954565 | 149 | [

Rangers starting pitcher Ryan Dempster walks to the dugout with catcher Geovany Soto prior to the game against the Angels at Rangers Ballpark. (Matthew Emmons-US PRESSWIRE )
ARLINGTON, Tex. -- Mitch Moreland provided a go-ahead, pinch-hit single as part of a four-run seventh inning to lift the Rangers over the Angels, 15-9, in the finale of a four-game set on Thursday.
With the game locked at 8-8, Michael Young singled off David Carpenter (1-2) to start the seventh before finding second on a groundout. Moreland then delivered a single into shallow center to plate Young for a one-run lead.
After Jerome Williams entered and walked Ian Kinsler to load the bases, Elvis Andrus singled to plate Moreland, but Daniel Murphy was gunned down at home for the second out.
Hisanori Takahashi entered from the bullpen and Josh Hamilton drilled a ground-rule double into center field to cap the four-run frame.
Roy Oswalt (4-2) earned the victory after tossing a pair of scoreless innings in relief after Texas starter Ryan Dempster, who the club acquired from the Cubs at Tuesday's deadline, was shelled for eight runs on nine hits and three walks over 4 2/3 innings in his first American League start.
Hamilton knocked in four runs and Kinsler recorded three hits, including a solo home run, to go with two RBI and four runs scored to help the Rangers take the final two games of the series.
Mark Trumbo, Kendrys Morales and Alberto Callaspo each homered in the setback, as the Angels fell five games back of the Rangers atop the AL West.
The Angels wasted little time welcoming Dempster to the AL as Mike Trout clubbed a leadoff double to get things started, moved to third on a bunt and then scored on Albert Pujols' sacrifice fly to right field.
Trumbo then delivered an opposite field blast that barely cleared the wall in right, but Kinsler trimmed the margin in the bottom half as he launched a leadoff homer over the wall in left-center field to make it a 2-1 contest.
After Geovany Soto singled to start the second, Mike Olt got his major league career off to a nice start with a screaming line-drive into left field.
Craig Gentry was then plunked to load the bases and Kinsler followed with a single to left to knot the game at 2-2. Two batters later, Hamilton delivered a two-run single to right as the Rangers grabbed a 4-2 lead.
Beltre walked to reload the bases and Young followed two batters later with a two-run single into center to extend the margin to 6-2.
The Angels battled back in the third as Torii Hunter and Pujols stroked consecutive doubles to bring LA within three before Morales drove a homer deep into the upper deck in right to start the fourth, cutting the margin to 6-4.
Callaspo then walked and Howard Kendrick followed with a base hit before both runners moved up on a bunt. Callaspo then scored on a ground out from Bobby Wilson to make it a one-run contest.
After Trout walked and stole second, Hunter ripped a base hit off the base of the wall in left to score a pair as the Angels jumped in front for a 7-6 lead.
Nelson Cruz tied the game in the bottom half when he lifted a two-out, line- drive shot over the wall in center, but LA responded in the fifth on Morales' RBI double into center field to provide the Halos with an 8-7 lead.
Kinsler stroked a leadoff double into the left-field corner before a balk from Angels starter C.J. Wilson moved him to third. Andrus then slapped a double down the first-base line to tie the game at 8-8.
Soto stroked a two-run double in the eighth and Moreland followed with a run- scoring double of his own to make it a seven-run difference before Callaspo homered in the ninth to account for the final margin.
Game notes: Wilson, who pitched the first seven years of his career in Arlington, was tagged for a career-high tying eight runs on 10 hits and three walks over 5 1/3 innings and is now winless in his last seven starts...Dempster was drafted in the third round by the Rangers back in 1995...Soto and Dempster were teammates with the Cubs and had teamed up for seven starts already this year...Olt was recalled from Double-A Frisco and first baseman Brandon Snyder was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. | <urn:uuid:f0123374-8b4f-4558-88a0-8e6604879418> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-08-02/sports/chi-excub-dempster-allows-8-runs-in-1st-rangers-start-20120802_1_kendrys-morales-mitch-moreland-ian-kinsler | 2017-11-23T05:21:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806736.55/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123050243-20171123070243-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.948493 | 990 | [

I am looking for a responsible, dog loving housemate.
I am planning to rent a 2 bedroom, ground/first floor house on the beach just south of the bridge.
It's furnished, very well kept, the owners come occasionally and live upstairs, burglar bars, new mattresses.
My situation is that I work on the outer cayes (LIghthouse Reef Atoll) for between 4 days and 4 weeks at a time, back for between 4 days and two weeks at a time.
I have two dogs who're my "boys" ... I've been trying to have them fostered, even adopted for the last 6 months, and now I have to leave where I'm living by the end of this month. They are both originally from San Pedro, we used to all live down the other end of Boca Del Rio... so we'd be coming home.
Max is a Rottweiler mix, he's a big softie. Karma is a Lab mix and is just goofy.
I'm asking 600bz a month plus utilities (I won't be there most of the time).

This sounds like one of the driver boards at the bottom or top of the screen has an intermittent fault. The set will have to be taken in to a service centre.

I also have the same problem I phoned Samsung today to explain the tv was only 14 months old, they didn't wanna no because it was out of warrenty by 2 months. I am getting a black solid line down the left hand side of the screen. I ended up phoning Dixons were we bought it from, they have told me to get an independent engineers report done & send the report to them within 14 days. Dixon told me it was a known problem with Samsungs. They said they will fix it free of charge if they can if not they will send vouchers to the same value of the television. So beware stay clear of Samsungs.

Horse racing is among the most popular racing games that countless players love to bet on. The primary objective that the players have to focus on is beating the ‘Race’, also known as the mode a Compilers’, to win. The exchange center are the platforms where you bet on your favourite game.
To place a bet you must have a racebook account. An exchange center is actually the person who organizes the bets. You must examine the types of odds that are on offer for the game.
The bets vary by racebook. Some offer more options while others give you lesser variations. You might opt for the straight bets that are also known as win bets. This type is the simplest among the variations. You bet on a horse and collect money only if your horse wins. You might like the
Place option as well. You get money only if your selected horse finishes at first or second position.
In the show option you win if your horse finishes as the first, second or third horse. In the Combination Bet you win if there are two or four horses that finish in the chosen order. In Pick 3 pattern you need to
select the horses that have won thrice in a row. Some tracks give you the Rolling Pick 3 variation where you must select for three races at a stretch and this will continue for the upcoming three races. Pick 6 is
definitely among the toughest as you select winners of at least 6 constant races.
In another betting order you get to select the best two horses but they have to finish the race in the same order as chosen by you. Daily Double format lets you choose the winners of the first and the second race in a day. Here you must bet before the race starts. Jackpot being one of the important patterns lets you select 6 winners for 6 races.
Parlay, is a multiple betting option where you choose simultaneously for 2 or more than 2 races. Whatever you in the first race will be invested while betting for the upcoming races. In order to win the Parlay, all your selected horses must win. If a race is cancelled, has a tie or is postponed, your Parlay will automatically be reduced by one choice. In this case, a double parlay gets the position of a direct bet and a triple parlay goes on to become a double. If you are lucky to win a full parlay, then it can draw a huge revenue for you.
In Future betting option, you bet on a future race and get paid if you win. Betting on the unusual races is also known a the Exotic Bets. Here you bet on a number of other related racing events. Enrol with the leading exchange center online and keep betting for your favourite horses and jockeys. | <urn:uuid:f98b898d-948a-494b-b6bb-0ba686d80454> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.h3asia.com/racing/ | 2017-11-24T00:11:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807044.45/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123233821-20171124013821-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.958849 | 564 | [

That was my first maternity photoshoot :) I was really glad when Gosia decided to write to me and ask for it. She was just a perfect model. She looked really beatiful and sexy! The photos were taken in Lalala Arthotel in Sopot, which was my model's great idea :) Working with Gosia was a real fun! I'm sure she's going to be a great mum to her daughter. And we had a guest on our photoshoot. Daddy-to-be came to make sure everything was going well. Obviously, we had to take some family photos too :) So here we have the effects! :)

This cute little girl has had a tough character since her early days. Even though we planned to take mostly sweet photos of her asleep, Zuzia was stubborn enough to wake up every time her mum and I tried to put her in some pose ;) Luckily, she was really playful when awake :) And here we go!
This model has an exceptional looks. Besides, the very first moment she came into my flat, we just clicked! This is an awesome feeling when you meet someone for the first time and feel as if you've known the person for ages. This was exactly the case with Natalia. I had a really good time taking pictures of that young lady. Enjoy :)

Having kids must be lots of fun! I always enjoy photoshoots with little ones :) They're so candid and unpredictable. This time I visited this lovely family at their place and did my best to capture all the real and cheerful moments. Ola was so energetic that it was a bit of a challenge to take a good photo of her. On the contrary, her little brother seemed to be terribly bored and dozed off every now and then ;) But he was such a cute little man that you would forgive him all. Have a look :) | <urn:uuid:80ef4010-b55c-4647-8e8d-53b41a200847> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://auleena.blogspot.com/2012/01/ | 2017-11-24T18:45:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934808742.58/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124180349-20171124200349-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.991989 | 388 | [

On Friday we left Santa Barbara, planning to anchor on Santa Cruz Island for the night on our way to Los Angeles. The island is a short 25-mile trip, and we had already been there a couple times on our previous boat, Aegea. We anticipated an easy sail, followed by a quiet afternoon at anchor.
The “easy sail” part went according to plan. And the sun, light breeze, and relaxing vibe must have been contagious, because halfway there, we turned to see our Lady Gray in the companionway, ready to set foot in the cockpit! While we were underway! This was big.
John rushed below to put on her harness, and then we waited anxiously to see if she would follow through on her curiosity.
And just like that, we have a salty sea lady!
We were beaming. Alert, but trying to play it cool, she spent the next hour in the sun with us, wind blowing through her fur. We gave her a ton of pets to show our approval.
Guinny was catching up to her brother Chase, who had initially proven to be more seaworthy. He found the right sailing spot first, was first to use the letterbox underway, and never had the same look of panic (or grumpiness) that we’ve seen from Guinny.
But on Friday, Chase turned out to be a total scaredy cat! We tried to coax him into the cockpit to join us, but he was terrified. So much for being seaworthy.
As for the “quiet afternoon at anchor”… well, this Friday the 13th turned out to be a bit cursed. When we arrived at Smuggler’s Cove on the east end of Santa Cruz Island, we found unpredicted swells and breeze coming right into the anchorage. As we watched the only other boat in the cove pull up his anchor and leave (not a good sign), we debated what to do: “It’s just one night!” versus “But it’s only been 30 minutes and this blows!”
(For other California boaters reading, yes, we have ordered a Flop Stopper, but we don’t have it yet.)
We decided to leave the anchorage and try Prisoner’s Harbor, 10 miles around the island and and a bit further from L.A.
We arrived at sunset, and the cats grew desperate for dinner.
Prisoner’s was quite calm at first, and we were really pleased with ourselves. But after dinner, the swells began to roll into this anchorage too. We were tossed back and forth all night. It was so unpleasant in the middle of the night that we almost laughed at the situation. Almost.
The leg to L.A. gave us the uneventful day we were looking for. Guinny made another appearance to sun herself and show her brother who the real adventure cat is. We arrived in Marina del Ray around 7pm—not what we had planned, but good practice entering a busy harbor after dark.
We’re here in L.A. for some scheduled boat maintenance, and then we’ll continue south! | <urn:uuid:c99f4008-b3e5-4031-b9a6-ce9b57121aa7> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://particularharbor.com/2017/guinnys-big-adventure | 2017-11-17T21:25:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934803944.17/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117204606-20171117224606-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.976527 | 672 | [

Ellis: "As a late teenager, I visited the Tate Gallery in London and was blown away by a Francis Bacon triptych. It made a great impression on me because of the use of colour - it was unnerving and stunningly beautiful at the same time. Bacon inspired many experiments I did over the years. I now think it has become something of my own and hasn't much to do with Bacon any more."

This conceptual short by make-up artist Lara Himplemann, considers the physicality of the colour 'black', and questions its gothic iconic status. Considering her specialism in make-up, this is a film that presents a unique perspective from an innovative practitioner, whose consideration of how colour can affect mood and character is key to her general vision.

BELGRADE, July 6 (Reuters) - The European Union has not shut the door on Serbia but will only restart talks on closer ties once Belgrade brings war crime fugitives to justice, EU Enlargement Commissioner Olli Rehn said on Thursday.
The EU froze talks on a so-called Stabilisation and Association Agreement two months ago because Belgrade failed to deliver Bosnian Serb fugitive Ratko Mladic to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia.
During an official visit to Belgrade, Rehn said the EU was still "actively engaged in the European future of Serbia".
As proof of its commitment, it had prepared a separate negotiation mandate for Serbia, which was conducting association talks with Montenegro until it voted to pull out of their union in May.
"Full cooperation with the ICTY, which needs to lead to the arrest and transfer of Ratko Mladic, remains the necessary condition to resume the talks for the SAA agreement," Rehn said after a meeting with Serbia's pro-Western president Boris Tadic.
The association agreement would be the first step on Serbia's long road to eventual EU membership. The suspension left Serbia as the only country in the Balkans without a roadmap to accession, even behind once Stalinist Albania which signed up last month.
Apart from the EU rebuff, the Montenegro vote and the prospect of independence this year for the breakaway province of Kosovo have increased Serbia's feelings of betrayal by the West.
Echoing the frustration of ordinary Serbs, Serbian Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica last month said the EU stance was "deeply wrong" and counter-productive. Brussels said he was trying to shift blame for his government's failures.
But worried that wounded pride will further boost the ultranationalist Radical Party, already the country's strongest, Western officials have urged the international community to show Serbs their future lies within Europe and NATO, not chauvinism and isolation.
While Brussels has made a number of goodwill gestures that include promises of financial aid and easing of the gruelling visa regime, it has never wavered from its condition on war crimes suspects.
Rehn said he was heartened by the preparation of an "action plan" by the Serbian government to get negotiations back on track by arresting Mladic, who is twice indicted for genocide for his role in the 1992-95 Bosnia war. | <urn:uuid:d27aafe5-b5b8-4d3b-8f75-ddceeb695f7a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://kosovareport.blogspot.com/2006/07/eu-reaches-out-to-serbia-but.html | 2017-11-19T10:32:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805541.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119095916-20171119115916-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.960323 | 495 | [

Gulf Funding for Global Jihadi Terrorists Raised at Hill Hearing on the Dangers
al-Shabaab Poses to U.S.A.
Oct. 3, 2013 (EIRNS)This release was issued today by the Lyndon LaRouche Political Action Committee.
Coming in the wake of the terrorist attack on the mall in Nairobi, a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee was held this morning, chaired by Committee Chairman Ed Royce on: "Al-Shabaab: How Great a Threat?" Testimony included the subject of how al-Shabaab could attack the U.S.A. directly, or by attacking U.S. interests.
After the completion of the testimony presented to the hearing, Republican Committee member Michael McCaul, who is also Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, directed his first question to two long-time former FBI agents who had provided testimony, and who are still active in the security field. He asked directly about funding for al-Shabaab coming from the "Saudi Peninsula." Neither of the two ex-FBI agents answered the question, nor did a British Africa expert at a Washington think tank, who also testified.
McCaul began his question by noting that he had been briefed yesterday on the threats facing the U.S.A. He said:
"The majority of these threatswhen you look at these organizations, and you look at the funding streamsthe majority of them tied back to the Saudi Peninsula, in terms of funding. This is the inconvenient truth no one talks about. And no one wants to deal with it either."
He cited a report he had received of $100,000 sent to al-Shabaab's intelligence unit to carry out a wave of assassinations in Mogadishu, Somalia.
"This is something we're going to have to deal with at some point in time. And I know it's somethingwith the Saudis being our allythat presents a problem. It's a challenge, but I think it is something we need to address, and see it for what it really is." | <urn:uuid:ef3e0a28-b862-4dee-8868-36d08cbf9a76> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.larouchepub.com/pr_lar/2013/131003_mccaul_saudi.html | 2017-11-19T10:15:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805541.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119095916-20171119115916-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.973605 | 434 | [

Jesse’s months-long battle with ex-wife Janine Lindemulder is finally over! He’s packing his things and moving with Sunny to Austin so they can be closer to his ex-wife Sandra Bullock!
Jesse James can now legally take his little girl Sunny, 7, with him when he moves to Texas to be closer to his ex-wife Sandra Bullock. Jesse prevailed in court July 20 when an Orange County judge ruled that Jesse would be awarded physical custody of Sunny.
Judge Thomas Schulte is allowing Jesse’s ex-wife Janine Lindemulder to see Sunny once a month in the state of California, half of Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, two-thirds of summer vacation and her entire spring break.
PopEater reports that Janine is incredibly devastated over the judge’s decision and after the verdict she broke down. “I can’t do this!” she screamed. “I’ll move! I’ll move!”
Sunny is going to live with her dad because the judge thought Sunny needed to be near her other siblings that live with Jesse. Also, the judge said that Janine was in a “fragile position to make poor decisions.”
While walking out of court, a visibly upset Janine spoke to reporters. “Sunny will be fine. It hurts. Sandy is good. Jesse is good. Sunny loves baby Louis. She’s excited to move to Texas. Sandra will be good for her.” | <urn:uuid:d74b23f5-94e3-48cd-8c15-e78e8bf56f0e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://hollywoodlife.com/2010/07/21/jesse-james-custody-battle-sunny-james-janine-lindemulder-sandra-bullock-texas/ | 2017-11-19T10:28:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805541.30/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119095916-20171119115916-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.968932 | 325 | [

There are a number of types of Driving Schools out there, and a number of different ways of categorizing them. There are racing schools, autocross schools, and general high performance schools, with some functional overlap between the different types -- for example, a high performance school won't teach you some racing techniques (starts, passing in corners, etc.) but it will allow you to sample driving at the limit and refine your technique in a controlled environment, and decide whether racing is really for you. There are schools which supply the cars, and schools where you are expected to supply a suitable car. There are professional schools, and there are various Club Schools. In the following discussion, we will talk about each of these issues.
There are two general categories of Racing Schools: those put on by sanctioning bodies such as the SCCA for their members, often at a financial loss, and professional schools such as The Skip Barber Racing School, Russell Racing Schools, and the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving, who are trying to make money offering racing schools. Each type has strengths and weaknesses, and there is also some variation from one to the next. Sanctioning body schools usually expect you to supply personal gear and a race car (either you own it or you rent it), while professional schools generally supply the race car, and most of the necessary personal gear. The price for professional racing schools is correspondingly higher.
High performance schools differ somewhat from Racing schools in that the emphasis is on basic driving technique, as opposed to racing technique. In general, high performance schools work on the "fast line" as opposed to the "racing line" (often not exactly the same thing), prohibit passing in corners, and in general don't permit behavior that looks like racing. Many professional racing schools also offer high performance classes.
There are two classes of high performance schools; one type generally supplies street cars, and uses a relatively small number of instructors who mostly observe from outside the car. The other type generally relies on students to supply cars, and uses a larger number of instructors who ride with the students to provide more direct feedback.

Thanks to Bozo News Hawk Glen Snow for sending in today’s report. From the International File in Auckland, New Zealand comes the story of an unidentified bozo who stole a laptop computer. Since his work required a computer, the owner placed an ad in a computer magazine for another one of the same make and model. And wouldn’t you know it, our bozo called him up, offering to sell him his own computer for $750, saying he’d be glad to stop by and demonstrate it. Taking him up on his offer, the man immediately recognized it as his own, since the bozo hadn’t even bothered to erase the files or remove the programs. Sending one of his friends next door to call the cops, the man stalled our hapless thief until police arrived by challenging him to a game of chess. He lost. | <urn:uuid:48402287-ed63-4c47-9e7d-5a20b3f5059e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.electricferret.com/bozo/archive/10134-June-19-2002/ | 2017-11-21T00:47:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806309.83/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121002016-20171121022016-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.980101 | 176 | [

With the Tea Maker from Sage and Heston Blumenthal, getting the most out of tea leaves has never been easier. If you’re very particular about how you like your tea then the Sage Tea Maker Kettle is the machine for you. Different teas need to be brewed at different temperatures to get the best flavour from them – something Heston Blumenthal kept in mind when developing this intelligent machine with Sage.
Different Temperatures for Different Teas
The Tea Maker from Sage and Heston Blumenthal includes pre-set functions to ensure water is boiled to the optimum temperature for different teas, whether its oolong, green, white, herbal or black. Green tea, for example, brews best at 80C, while 100C is optimum for black tea.
They also need to steep for different times. With its automatically lowering basket, the Tea Maker ensures tea leaves are in the water just long enough to infuse the water with their flavour and deliver the perfect, refreshing taste.
The best bit is that this is all done automatically. Just fill the basket with your tea leaves, select your programme and press the ‘Tea’ button. The Tea Maker will boil water to the appropriate temperature, lower your tea leaves and, when the tea has steeped, raise the basket back up. Simple.
The Integrated auto-start function means there will always be a fresh pot of tea waiting for you when you get up in the morning or when you get home from a long day at the office.
If you can see yourself coming back for more tea soon, the ‘Keep Warm’ function keeps tea hot for 60 minutes after the brew. And with its large 1.5L capacity, you can brew up to 5 cups of tea on a single programme, so you don’t have to keep re-boiling the kettle.
Sage by Heston’s the Tea Maker includes a custom feature, giving you complete control over temperature and time settings, if, for example, you like your tea particularly strong. It also has a boil button, for if you just want to boil water without tea leaves. The basket easily snaps out of the jug, too, so there is no risk of tea getting in your water.
There is also a clear, easy-to-read LCD screen which tells you how long your tea has left, as well as being made from highly-durable German Schott glass, it is finished in stylish stainless steel, meaning it brings a modern vibe to your kitchen worktop.
Stylish and easy-to-use, the Tea Maker from Sage by Heston is a must for any tea lover.
- Integrated settings for black, green, white, oolong and herbal teas
- Auto-start time for a fresh brew in the morning

A Glasgow man with dreams of getting into construction has secured a placement as a quantity surveyor with help from Remploy, the UK’s leading provider of specialist disability employment services.
Liam Taggart, aged 31, is hard of hearing and was supported into the ‘Think Differently’ construction work placement with Mitie by the Remploy Glasgow branch.
Mitie’s property services division has recently secured funding from the Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) to deliver the ‘Think Differently’ project under which the company provides invaluable work experience opportunities, training and mentoring for more than 60 disabled candidates.
Liam started his placement with Mitie in September 2016 and said that things are “going well”. He added: “The team at Remploy knew that the Mitie work placements were coming up and thought that an opportunity there would be suitable for me.
“Being hard of hearing can make learning and socialising as part of a group difficult for me,” said Liam who wears a cochlear implant and can lip read and prefers one-to-one interaction. He added: “At the moment, being with Mitie is all about getting experience and hopefully I will eventually get a job. I have a mentor at Mitie who I am job shadowing to learn more about the job I am doing with them.”
Janet Back, Lead Employment Advisor for Remploy Glasgow said: “Liam was identified as a suitable candidate to go on a Mitie placement out of 25 potential candidates. I have spoken to him recently and he is really enjoying his time with Mitie at their Govan site. Liam has settled in well to his placement with Mitie and had an interpreter with him on day one to support him but he only required the interpreter for one day because of the one-to-one nature of his placement. Liam has been assisting the property surveying team with many tasks including entering details on the system used by payroll and helping to set up contracts.”
Alistair Farquhar, Liam’s Manager at Mitie said: "Liam has done very well during his placement. I believe he is enjoying the experience and is becoming more and more involved as he spends more time with us. From my perspective, the ‘Think Differently’ partnership with Remploy is proving to be a big success and provides a great opportunity for both the candidates and the company to demonstrate what can be achieved." | <urn:uuid:aea76433-4c49-4408-91e4-ec231c6bd484> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.remploy.co.uk/info/20091/case_studies/490/liam_maps_out_career_in_surveying | 2017-11-22T14:41:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806609.33/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122141600-20171122161600-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.981662 | 516 | [

THE MAYOR of Worcester will be swapping his chains of office for a parachute when he takes to the skies for a charity skydive.
Coun Steve Mackay will be joining army paratroopers to jump out of a plane at 12,000ft in the air in the hope of raising £500 for three of his chosen charities,
Headway Worcestershire, Victim Support and Onside Advocacy.
The daredevil Mayor is calling on city residents to sign up to sponsor him to ensure his funding target isn’t just pie in the sky.
“I do have a few butterflies, but it’s a personal challenge and a great way of raising funds for what I think are three really important charities and I hope Worcester people will support me,” Coun Mackay said.
The Mayor will be channelling his inner Biggles and hitting the heights on March 7 next year when he joins the Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers for parachute training in Wiltshire.
“I’ll be jumping with trained paratroopers, so they’re obviously used to throwing themselves out of planes at 12,000ft,” he said.
“It’s a slightly daunting experience for me, but I’ll be doing a tandem jump with an experience paratrooper strapped to my back, so I’m sure everything will go well.
“I’ll only actually be given any training on the morning of the jump. How am I preparing in the meantime? I’m trying not to think about it!
“I have personal connections with all these charities and I know they provide important support for many vulnerable people who are not in a good place and often can’t always speak up for themselves.
“Please dig deep to support my sky dive. You can sign up to support me by going to uk.virginmoneygiving.com and searching for Steve Mackay.” | <urn:uuid:004f536c-e6c6-46c8-96ce-6184260f7467> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://worcesterobserver.co.uk/news/mayor-taking-to-the-skies-in-a-bid-to-net-charity-cash/ | 2017-11-23T09:34:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806768.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123085338-20171123105338-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.942988 | 408 | [

We are well aware of the IV tubing change recommendations by the new CDC guidelines. We are also aware this issue has been discussed at many IV listserves recently.
But we would still like to know the standard of practice of TPN tubing change frequency in other hospitals. Please respond to the following questions:
1. How often do you change TPN tubing if it is y'ed with intralipid close to the catheter hub?
2. How often do you change TPN tubing which is directly connected to the catheter hub or y'ed with other stable solutions (not intralipid)?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

By Judy Wells
Daniel Marlin, age 72, poet, artist, and peace activist, died at his home in Berkeley on Aug. 7, 2017, after a heroic battle with cancer and renal disease over many years. Born in Brooklyn, Feb. 9, 1945, and raised on Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York, Dan was the son of George Marlin and Lebe Goldin Marlin.
Daniel attended PS 114, graduated from Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn, was a passionate golfer in his teenage years, and later attended UC Berkeley. He dropped out in his second year after realizing the university was not for him, and he began his lifelong adventures as a world traveler, poet, artist, translator, and social activist, with Berkeley as his home base for over fifty years.
Daniel supported his lifestyle as an artist with a variety of part-time jobs: mail handler on the loading dock of the Oakland Main Post Office, gardener, English teacher, but mainly as a telefundraiser for peace, social justice, women’s rights, and environmental nonprofits.
In Berkeley in 2007, Daniel collaborated with Fred Kellogg, QuikBooks publisher, to produce his art book Heart of Ardor, which includes over 300 images drawn from four decades of his watercolors, sketches and collages, combined with his written reflections on his work. Daniel’s favorite subjects are: “landscapes from Tilden Park and views from my old apartment on Derby Street; Japanese rivers, mountains and skies; the boardwalk and beach at Rockaway, New York; the biblical stories of the reunion of Jacob and Joseph and of the Poor Man and the Lamb; streets and faces seen and imagined throughout the Americas; seamstresses, tailors, and angels at sewing machines.”
In 2011, again in collaboration with Fred Kellogg, Daniel produced his Amagasaki Sketchbook, watercolors of the Japanese landscape and sketches of passengers on trains he rode during his time in Japan. Daniel’s work is represented by Mythos Gallery in Berkeley and championed by Sue Steel, director of the gallery. (mythosfirehouse.com).
Daniel’s poetic works include Isaiah at the Wall: Palestine Poems (QuikBooks, 2009) which is based on a trip he took to Palestine and Israel in 2008 with the Middle East Children’s Alliance of Berkeley and his decades of thought about the Israeli occupation of Palestine. His understanding was deepened by poet Mahmoud Darwish, human rights activist Israel Shahak, lawyer and writer Raja Shehadeh, and scholar Sarah Roy. Daniel’s chapbook, Jerusalem & the Boardwalk, vivid poems of his childhood and adolescence in Rockaway and his own art, was published in 1982. He felt that the two American poets who influenced him the most were Kenneth Patchen and e.e. Cummings. Daniel’s art and poetry books are collected in various University of California libraries and several other libraries in the U.S.
Daniel’s other major literary activities included his work as a translator and editor. From 1981 to 1987, he studied with and translated the poems of Malka Heifitz Tussman, a Ukrainian-American Yiddish poet and teacher (1893-1987) who resided in Berkeley. He also produced a rare bilingual chapbook of his own poems in Yiddish and English in 1981 as he was learning Yiddish, and in 1989, participated in a Minority Writers Series at UC Berkeley, reading his poetry in both Yiddish and English, documented by a video recording now held at Cal’s Media Resources Center, Moffitt Library.
With Ralph Dranow and Mitch Zeftel (1946-2010), Daniel co-founded a long-standing East Bay writing group which has endured for almost 40 years. Always a supporter of other poets, Daniel edited books for close friends in his writing circles: David Schooley’s Ravines of the Heart: San Bruno Mountain – Poems, Drawings, Essays (2014); Sanford Dorbin’s Travelogue for Two, Poems by Sanford and Friends (2014); Mitchell Zeftel’s Rear Entrance to the Holyland: Selected Writing (co-edited with Ralph Dranow, 2011). All three books were published by QuikBooks. In addition, in 1998 Daniel and David Schooley published the collection Now then, Arden: A Book of Memories of Arden Mayhew Tavistock.
Throughout his lifetime, Daniel was a dedicated peace activist, concentrating on antinuclear activities, both in Berkeley and in Japan. For years, he participated in Berkeley’s Circle of Concern, holding vigil against UC’s management of the United States nuclear weapons laboratories at Livermore and Los Alamos, New Mexico, and from 2011 on, he participated in No Nuke Action. He was also an environmental activist with the San Bruno Mountain Watch starting in 1969.
His survivors include his wife, Toshiko Watanabe of Berkeley and Amagasaki, Japan; brother Jeffrey Marlin and wife Joan Kraus of Rockaway, New York; nephew Jacob Marlin; cousins Pamela Ericson and Richard Marlin; and a circle of longtime Berkeley and worldwide friends who will deeply miss him.
A celebration of Daniel Marlin’s life and art will be held Sunday, Oct. 22, 2017, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., at the Harriet Tubman Terrace Community Room, 2870 Adeline St, in Berkeley. | <urn:uuid:7c7561d6-57db-440a-b46f-877af52ab058> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/10/03/daniel-marlin-poet-artist-peace-activist-dies-72/ | 2017-11-24T04:00:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807084.8/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124031941-20171124051941-00074.warc.gz | en | 0.966818 | 1,147 | [

Thank you, Felix Geerinckx
I spent 2 hours trying to fix a tricky MySQL database issue today. A full partition, unable to dump and restore, symbolic links not working, aptitude trying to delete everything . . ..
Well, it was just stressful.
And then I was able to find a post from 2005 written by a man named Felix Geerinckx. It solved my problems and all is well in my world again. (the post in question: https://forums.mysql.com/read.php?51,52107,52111#msg-52111)
So OVERWHELMED WITH GRATITUDE, I tried to send this internet stranger a quick ‘thank you’ for this 12 year old post.
Can’t find him. He is, or was, a pretty steady contributor to the MySQL forums, but I cannot find any email addresses or public forums where I can send him a message. So I am doing it here.
Thank you, Felix Geerinckx. You have made my world a better place and I want you to know I appreciate it.

Nobody does bold quite like TVR. The company has been on hiatus since 2006, changing owners more than a handful of times from 2007 until now.
I remember being a youngster, playing video games and dreaming about seeing a TVR in person. Unfortunately living stateside that reality has never happened. The car has always struck a chord with me though. They were a perfect size, small but not compact. The drivetrain was always stout, well suited to their sporty size, and then came the styling. TVR didn’t know how to disappoint. Their use of lighting that resembled spiders eyes was revolutionary. The body panels had a flow to them that managed to be angular and rounded all at the same time. It truly was unparalleled by any other manufacturer. And it is finally back.
TVR Automotive Ltd, the newest owner of the TVR name, has been teasing a release of a reincarnated Griffith for a few years. The company stayed steady, built a new factory, and settled a release date. Coinciding with TVR’s 70th anniversary, that day happens to be today. And it’s sooooo good.
TVR has absolutely knocked the 2018 Griffith out of the park. No longer is it a roadster, instead featuring a sleek coupe design. Styling is classic TVR, bold in every sense of the word. While the headlights look slightly like a McLaren and the overall shape could be mistaken for an Aston Martin Vulcan, the TVR easily puts both to shame when you take in the entire package. All the little fins and vents add to that classic TVR look, while the new side exit exhausts and LED lights usher in a new era.
To go along with their epic return TVR enlisted British powerhouse Cosworth to supply the perfect amount of power. That means a 5-liter naturally aspirated V8 comes standard, bringing 500hp along with it. With the Griffith’s curb weight sitting at 2755lbs the car is now sporting a 400hp-per-ton power to weight ratio. Think of the Subaru BRZ, but with 500hp and styling that is actually appealing. But the real icing on the cake? No automatic transmission. That’s right, TVR is making all the right moves, and sticking with a manual is as true as it gets. The transmission in question is a Tremec Magnum six-speed, complete with a custom lightweight flywheel and clutch.
Interior is also classic TVR. That means it’s wacky in a charming way, the kind that makes you crinkle your face as you examine it. There are buttons in odd places, and yet it all seems so appealing. Even where the key would normally go is different, featuring what appears to be a wireless starter. It’s the quirks that made TVRs so appealing, and this Griffith is no different. Instead of gauges, you are presented with an LED screen that will likely be configurable to your taste. TVR then went ahead and finished the rest of the interior in two-tone leather, absolutely gorgeous.
The only thing that really isn’t true to form is that price tag, which has gotten exceptionally steeper. At £90,000 the Griffith doesn’t come cheap, but then again should it have too? 500hp, a 200mph top speed and looks that could kill all for roughly 119,000 USD? Sounds like a bargain to me. And apparently, I’m not alone. TVR has already sold out over 400 of their ‘Launch Edition’ Griffiths, a statement that completely blew my mind. Production is set to hit full stride at the end of 2018, meaning we will likely start seeing the Griffith on city streets in early 2019. Looks like I’m going to England in 2019, hopefully, then I will finally see a TVR Griffith in the wild. | <urn:uuid:873bafce-cfc7-4c6b-bbf7-b828db732fe3> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://motonetworks.com/tvr-griffith-back-better-ever/ | 2017-11-17T23:10:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804019.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117223659-20171118003659-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.964472 | 803 | [

I never expected to receive a reality check on Bourbon Street, but it happened last Sunday.
Having gone to New Orleans to surrender from real life for a few days, as well as head to Baton Rouge to watch LSU tangle with Alabama, I realized late Sunday afternoon that a 4-0 day was coming home. I mentioned this to my friend as we took in the sights, sounds, and smells of the French Quarter, and he unloaded on me.
“I can’t trust you,’’ he said. “Two weeks ago, you went 0-4. This week you’re 4-0. We need some consistency.’’
I wasn’t thrilled with him basically dumping my hurricane all over me, but occasionally the truth hurts. Consistency is key, and with every NFL team having reached at least the halfway points of the season, we’ll use that big week as a springboard to finish strongly.
This week’s picks (home team in caps):
New York Jets (+6) over SEATTLE: I like teams coming off a bye over teams heading into a bye, and that scenario plays out in this matchup (this theory worked in the Jets-Dolphins matchup two weeks ago, and in the Ravens-Browns contest last week). Also, Seattle has been favored only three times and never by more than 4½ points. Six points seems far too generous, even against the floundering Jets. Risking $110 to win $100.
Detroit (-2) over MINNESOTA: The Lions boast the league’s top passing game and have improved defensively, allowing just 17 points per game in their last three. The Vikings won at Ford Field, 20-13, in late September, but the fortunes of these two clubs have reversed. Minnesota’s answer to Detroit’s offense is a defense that has allowed 66 points in its last two games. The Lions are coming together at the right time. Risking $110 to win $100.
CAROLINA (+4) over Denver: The Panthers have six losses. In one, they were annihilated, 36-7, by the Giants. The other five losses are by an average of 3.6 points. The betting public will ride a hot Denver team, but we know better. Risking $110 to win $100.
Atlanta (-2½) over NEW ORLEANS: The Saints are attempting to turn their season around, and have won three of four, but it’s not their year. Risking $110 to win $100.
Last week: 4-0, plus $400. Season: 18-18, minus $138. | <urn:uuid:54df63e1-f5a1-476b-b533-23fab9e4b4e5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2012/11/08/in-week-10-take-the-jets-lions-panthers-and-falcons | 2017-11-17T23:30:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934804019.50/warc/CC-MAIN-20171117223659-20171118003659-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.972871 | 561 | [

Ronda Rousey May Have A New Motto
This was posted to Ronda Rousey’s Instagram today and I think she has retired her Do Nothing B**** (DNB or a b—- who just tries to be pretty and be taken care of by someone else) motto for the following:
If I were to take the third part of the motto out of context, I would say sign me up!!! The F them all part is interesting since I would be included as part of the all. I would hope I was near the top of the list because I am not sure I would want sloppy thousandths. It would be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway. You could hear an echo if you screamed in her vagina. I would do my best Buffer impression and yell, lets get ready to rumble before we went to town. It would be the best 45 seconds of my life. | <urn:uuid:7fe8a0e2-7e72-46ed-874b-d75faf22a265> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.bdaradio.com/ronda-rousey-may-have-a-new-motto/ | 2017-11-18T17:44:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805008.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118171235-20171118191235-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.991387 | 183 | [

There’s something so mysterious about Japanese nightlife. After dark, the streets light up with flickering neon signs, as well as the more subtle, secretive glow of red lanterns. Noren curtains delicately cover the entrance to each bar, so you can’t see what’s happening until you step inside.
Japan’s relaxed night-time atmosphere seems to provide a balance to its politeness-charged day. In the light of day, Japanese people are generally modest and reserved; but at night, passionate karaoke ballads are belted by all ages, and uptight businessmen let loose, laughing loudly over after-work drinks.
Want to join in the fun? Here are the basics on how to get your drink on in Japan.
Where to Drink
Back in Canada, I was a pub-going kind of girl, so I was immediately drawn to the warm lighting, casual décor, and stay-as-long-as-you-like attitude of izakayas.
However, unlike in pubs where it’s acceptable to just show up and drink, in izakayas you’re generally expected to order at least a little food. Some places automatically bring each person a small appetizer and charge it to your bill, functioning as kind of a cover charge.
In most Japanese restaurants, each person orders a single meal, but true to their laid-back style, izakayas are more communal eating places. Each dish is quite small, so the idea is to order a few different plates and share them with everyone at your table.
You’ll see big chain izakayas, as well as smaller, often family-run ones. The big chains usually have picture menus, atmospheric music and plenty of seating. Smaller izakayas, although often more interesting, can also be more intimidating for tourists. In smaller izakayas, the menu is usually displayed on the walls, and of course, only in Japanese. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can always ask “osusume wa nanidesu ka?” which means “what do you recommend?” and then agree to whatever the server suggests.
Many smaller izakayas only offer bar seating, and some can only accommodate as few as 5 people in total. Unless you speak enough Japanese to strike up a conversation with the owner across the bar or with the other customers, then it can be a pretty quiet atmosphere. If you’re lucky enough to go with someone who speaks Japanese, however, then it will be probably be one of your best experiences in Japan. The food is usually fantastic, and it’s easy to make friends with the other customers.
At home, my karaoke-style was to show up, drink my beers, and cheer for the people who were brave (or drunk) enough to stand up and sing. I quickly realized that this doesn’t really work in Japan, where most karaoke clubs have a series of private rooms for groups. Each karaoke box is equipped with a karaoke player, screen and microphones. You use a phone to order drinks and a server will deliver them to your room. It’s tons of fun if you’re with a big group, but if you’re a couple, then it’s just the two of you singing alone in a small room. Sometimes it takes a little more digging, but you can also find less common, more Western-style karaoke bars, where singers perform for the entire crowd.
Snack Bars and Host Clubs
One of the first warnings we received when we came to Japan was that a “snack bar” is not at all what it sounds like.
Snacks bars and host clubs are bars where the female staff are paid to flirt with the male customers: Lighting their cigarettes, pouring their drinks, and complimenting them on their above-average karaoke singing. There are also host clubs, where females can go to be doted on by male servers.
There’s no entry fee, but there are also no set prices for anything on the menu, and customers are generally expected to buy drinks for their friendly servers at an inflated charge. Be prepared for an expensive night, and keep in mind that smaller snack clubs often cater to regular customers, so it can be oddly intrusive for a tourist to just burst in on this sort of intimate, friends-only setting.
What to Drink
The main Japanese beer brands are Kirin, Suntory, Asahi, and Sapporo. Personally, I find them all pretty average – neither good nor terrible. Weirdly, many izakayas only carry one brand, so if you want to order a beer, you just get whatever kind they have. There are also a lot of fantastic microbreweries all over Japan, so if you can get your hands on a local beer – go for it!
I’m probably biased since I live in a town known for its sake, but I think you can’t fully appreciate Japanese drinking culture without trying it. It doesn’t have the monopoly on Japanese nightlife that it once did, but it’s still a classic Japanese drink. Plus, a small bottle of sake, cold or hot, is easy to share with a group.
Shochu is a clear, distilled spirit, similar to vodka, but not as strong and usually more flavourful. It tastes a little like sake, but the flavour varies depending on whether it’s made from rice, sweet potatoes, wheat or sugar cane. With 20-40 percent alcohol content, you can drink it straight, or mixed with soda or water. It’s also used as cocktail base for Chuhai, which is a popular carbonated, fruity drink.
Umeshu is a liquor made from ume fruit, sugar, and either shochu or sake. Ume fruit is kind of a cross between a plum and an apricot, so umeshu is often referred to as “plum wine”. It has a mild, fruity, sweet and sour taste, so it’s the perfect drink for people who don’t like beer or strong liquor. You can either drink it straight or mixed with a little soda.
How to Drink
The general drinking etiquette you would apply at home also works in Japan. It’s ok to get drunk in public as long as you don’t disturb anyone else and preferably do it a casual bar, rather than a classy restaurant. Japan has some of the strictest drinking and driving laws in the world, which is important to keep in mind when you’re figuring out how you’re going to get home at the end of the night.
Similar to the west, if you’re drinking with friends, you should wait until everyone at the table has been served before starting to drink. Toast by saying “kampai” before taking the first sip. If you’re sharing a bottle at your table, it’s customary to serve each other, rather than pouring your own drink. Always wait for someone else to refill your glass, and top up other people’s when they’re empty.

The customer asked to make a modern logo in a flat style. But it was necessary to keep recognition with the old logo of sport and culture festival..

It was warm today—a full, balmy six degrees Celsius—and the squirrels were out in the melting snow as I drove up Côte-Saint-Charles. In fact, one of them almost dashed under the wheels of my car—after which I was much more attentive. I like squirrels. More to the point, I hate running them over; but there’s no way around it—when it comes to crossing the road, they don’t come any dumber.
As my driving became more attentive, I got to thinking. Attention is the key to mindfulness; and ‘mindfulness,’ like ‘meditation,’ is becoming ridiculously misunderstood. As I watched out for squirrels I realized that it came at a cost—my attention to other things on the road, like fallen branches, pedestrians and other vehicles. I couldn’t be equally attentive to everything. The more I tried to look, the more I realized just how much I had to choose. This applies not just on Côte-Saint-Charles on a balmy winter’s day, but in all situations. I recalled the Buddha’s instruction on mindfulness—it’s very specific.
The popular take on mindfulness has become, “being in the moment,” which sounds really cool but doesn’t by itself mean a damn thing. The point is that ‘attentiveness’ is transitive—you’re attentive (or not) of something. The sort of practice that leads to awakening doesn’t just let go of annoying thoughts and groove on sensory perception, but actually attends to the three marks of existence: inconstancy, stress and emptiness. This is a lot more substantial, and a lot less airy-fairy. It’s not what people want to hear—which is perhaps why it disables wishful thinking so effectively.
For meditators who seek value for their investment of time and effort, mindfulness brings a) insight into the nature of existence, and b) a letting go of the illusions that keep us committed to cyclic existence. By seeing every breath, every thought, feeling and sense perception as inconstant, stressful and empty, we develop an intuitive sense of urgency, and are shifted from the theoretical realm of good ideas to the immanent one of good sense, here and now. It’s how we become happy. | <urn:uuid:19572392-5ffe-4976-859c-ea73eafa631a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.thenakedmonk.com/2010/03/01/mindfulness/ | 2017-11-19T12:22:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805578.23/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119115102-20171119135102-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.969363 | 502 | [

Not only was Egypt one of the most incredible experiences of my life, as I was able to experience one of the cradles of civilization and gaze upon the wonders that have drawn intellectuals, thrill-seekers, and tourists for over three millennia, but I also was joined by my parents, who I got to see for the first time in three months. Having my parents with me only enhanced the incredible experience of seeing the pyramids.
The pyramid complex contains three main pyramids belonging to the Pharaohs Khufu, Khafre, and Menkaure (listed in order of age and size). After a night enjoying traditional Egyptian food and dance, my parents and I were transported to Giza, where the Pyramids are located.
We first approached the Great Pyramid of Khufu - the only true surviving wonder of the seven wonder of the ancient world! The extent of the architectural feat is breathtaking and even impressed my father, who couldn't stop asking questions about the construction and engineering techniques used to built the pyramids. One of the best parts of the trip was seeing my parents experience the history that I love so much, and how much they got into it. Both my mom and dad proceeded to point out objects at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, and tell me little things about them that they learned on the tour - their enthusiasm and support meant everything to me.
|Touching a Wonder of the World|
After seeing the Great Pyramid, we traveled to the look out point (where the first picture was taken) where we took a camel ride. These animals are awesome and the fact that I have ridden a camel in front of the pyramids of Egypt would be inconceivable if not for the pictures. So many of my bucket-list items have been crossed off while studying abroad, I am going to have to find new dreams to chase.
Once we got to the second lookout site, we took pictures (LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF ME!!) and drank ten euro Pepsis (but at least I got a nice glass soda bottle out of it) which made it feel like we were in a commercial. From here we went to the smallest pyramid - Menkaure - which we were able to enter. We followed the entrance down on a stepped ramp which led into a holding chamber and from their the burial vault. Both my parents and I were surprised at the lack of decoration present inside the pyramid (we only saw white plastered walls), but we all enjoyed saying that we had walked inside one of these architectural wonders.
After seeing the pyramid of Khafre, we were taken to the site of the Sphinx, which is incredible impressive and detailed! I was taken aback, however, by how small the Sphinx appeared compared to the surrounding pyramids, but I think that speaks more to the grand scale of the pyramids than to the size of the Sphinx.
My parents and I spent the rest of the afternoon at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, before flying back to Athens for Easter. We spent Easter Sunday touring around the ruins of Athens, while eating gyros, baklava, and spit-roasted lamb. And as much as I absolutely loved Egypt, it was really a highlight of my study abroad experience to show my parents around the city in which I have been living these last four months. | <urn:uuid:4973f7c8-ba2f-445d-8784-843e4025b346> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://davidspiropoulos.blogspot.com/2017/05/snapshots-of-egypt-cairo.html | 2017-11-20T07:33:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805923.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120071401-20171120091401-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.977271 | 678 | [

We've been itching for a dose of '20s glam ever since we watched Midnight In Paris. To our delight, Gucci's spring collection offered an exciting spate of inspired looks, including these emerald and gold-chained pumps that are almost enough to make us consider that splurge. But then we remembered that whole paying-the-rent thing.
Luckily, we found an alternative that excites us just as much — and keeps the Great Depression in the past. Modcloth's own peep-toe pretties cost peanuts in comparison and still have all the charm as the big-ticket version. Slip these babies on for that glamourous feeling, without all the buyer's guilt. | <urn:uuid:3d2cfb07-aef9-4210-a3b5-464a85d1baf9> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.refinery29.com/cheap-gucci-heels-lookalike | 2017-11-20T08:07:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805923.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120071401-20171120091401-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.962734 | 142 | [

There have been some recent articles and health conferences that have eluded to something many of my colleagues and I have been saying: Saturated fat does NOT make you fat! It is the carbohydrate and sugar in the diet that really causes problems. In several recent articles, researchers and nutritionists have stated that eliminating sugar, potatoes, breads, pasta, and rice will really wipe out most cases of obesity, overweight, and metabolic syndromes. It may also lead to the reversal or removal of many other diseases, disorders, and issues humans tend to have.
None of this is new science, either. In centuries past the idea was to eat a healthy diet rich in saturated fats and low in carbohydrates to maintain health. This all turned around with the industrial revolution. The inventions of machines that made processing things easy or easier had a lot to do with how things were marketed. This also had a lot to do with the way science was handled…that is as far as research and reporting went. When Ancel Keys did his Seven Countries Study…well, let’s just say it was poor reporting…the study may not have been that great either. Here are some issues:
The study was not really of just 7 countries…it was of 22 countries! What happened there? Well, the man had a hypothesis and set out to prove it right…rather than to see if he was right or wrong (bad science). His hypothesis did not match the results…so he essentially manipulated it by choosing 7 of the countries in a line that would show his theory in the way he hypothesized. It may not have been manipulated with ill intentions…but it did have ill results. It caused us humans to believe that saturated fat was bad for us, that it would raise cholesterol and do damage. It got us onto the low-fat roller coaster we are still trying to get off of today! The fact is being once again proven that FAT DOES NOT MAKE US FAT!
Don’t believe me? Check out what these experts have to say:
Recent LA Times article:
A Great Review of several experts in the field can be found at this Frontline site:
and finally, here is a good blog with graphics showing the Keys 7 Countries Study:
Now, I want to add that you must keep in mind that when I am talking about fats, I am talking about healthy fats such as those from grass-fed and pastured animal sources as well as olive oil, fish oils, and coconut oil. Those hydrogenated oils and fats and other rancid things should be avoided like the plague…because they have created one of sorts!
Enjoy! Have a healthy day! | <urn:uuid:1d46fdba-57af-47e5-9917-eab75f19c8dc> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://alternefit.wordpress.com/2011/05/13/the-skinny-on-fat/ | 2017-11-20T07:34:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805923.26/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120071401-20171120091401-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.982181 | 542 | [

Ensuring equity and promoting rights – including those of young people
Date: Wednesday, July 11, 2012
Remarks by Michelle Bachelet Executive Director of UN Women at Panel discussion on Panel on Ensuring Equity and Promoting Rights including those of young people, London, 11 July 2012.
[Check against delivery]
Good morning to all.
It is my pleasure to convene this important panel on Ensuring Equity and Promoting Rights - including those of Young People.
I thank the Gates Foundation and DFID for taking this initiative. The issue we are here for, is so important not only to women around the world but also to the sustainable future for us and future generations.
This is a panel on rights. Let me start by making one thing clear in case we would still harbor doubts: the reproductive rights of women, including adolescent and young women, their right to control their sexual and reproductive lives, they are not up for debate. Those rights are enshrined in a number of internationally agreed instruments, including CEDAW and the Cairo Program of Action, and are part of international human rights law.
This might sound obvious to most of you. I feel compelled to state it here as we have seen attempts by some lately, including just a few weeks ago in Rio, to act as if these rights did not exist or were to be renegotiated. Luckily, reason prevailed in Rio and in the Outcome Document Member States clearly recommitted themselves to the Cairo Program for Action and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Yet, this is a worrying trend and a trend that we at UN Women will be monitoring in close partnership with our good friends at UNFPA.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
The right to voluntarily choose whether or not to marry, whether or not to establish a family, the right to decide on the number, timing and spacing of children, the right to have access to the information and means needed to exercise voluntary choices, the right to the highest attainable standard of health, including sexual and reproductive health, are all universal human rights.
When women and girls are able to exercise this human right, there are tremendous benefits not only for women themselves, but also their families, communities and nations. Sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights are essential to allow women to enjoy most of their other rights and to empower them to fully participate in the economic and political life of their communities. Sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights are in this respect truly essential to development and to the kind of sustainable development we just agreed on in Rio.
Yet, as you have heard earlier today, there are currently at least 200 million women in the world who want to use safe and effective family planning methods, but are unable to do so. They lack access to information and services or the support of their husbands and communities.
This is unacceptable. A woman's access to family planning should not depend on whether she is rich or poor. On whether the man at her side is her husband or her boyfriend. On whether she lives in the city of in a rural area.
All women should have access to voluntary family planning, which includes counseling and informed choice and consent, that offers a choice of methods, that is free from coercion and discrimination, and that provides a positive experience for the user.
And when I say all women, I particularly mean girls and young women. Complications arising from unsafe abortion, pregnancy and childbirth remain indeed a leading cause of death among young women aged 15 to 19. And I don't need to explain to any of you that delaying first pregnancy means that girls can gain the education, knowledge, skills and assets they need to live healthy lives, have decent and secure livelihoods and support the children they will have when they choose to.
As we listen to our panelists, I invite you to reflect on how the experiences that they describe can serve as models to reach out to the 200 million women and girls that have been left behind in family planning outreach efforts to date, especially unmarried women, young women, women in marginalized communities and women living in hard-to-reach areas.
I thank you. | <urn:uuid:c1f0c236-a6c6-446a-ac94-730366fdec34> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.unwomen.org/en/news/stories/2012/7/ensuring-equity-and-promoting-rights-including-those-of-young-people | 2017-11-22T16:23:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806615.74/warc/CC-MAIN-20171122160645-20171122180645-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.966301 | 837 | [

Southern Caribbean Cruise – Part 2
Today I am sharing part 2 of our trip review from our cruise we recently took to the Southern Caribbean. You can read part 1 of our first sea day, Grand Turk, and the Dominican here. Also, at the bottom of the post I am sharing our tips for cruising on Carnival.
Day 6 – Aruba
In Aruba, we rented ATV’s through Justin’s. Neither of us had ever been on an ATV and we decided this was a great way to see Aruba since it’s only 20 miles long and 6 miles across. We wanted an option to go and do our own thing, so were glad we found out how to rent an ATV without being part of a tour. Thankfully Colby downloaded to his phone the map of the country ahead of time, because even though it’s so small it was still easy to get lost. The office staff gave us maps and a route to take, but we ended up getting a little off track and making our own path. Eventually, we made the very bumpy ride to the natural pools and then made it just in time to see the sunset at the beach. After, we cruised around town a little bit (you can drive on the main streets with the ATV). Aruba was a lot cleaner and more Americanized than I would have guessed and we really enjoyed our time there.
Day 7 – Curacao
When we got off the ship we made a spontaneous decision to rent a car and found a rental car company close to port. We made the 45 – 60 minute drive over to the National Park where we hiked Christoff mountain. If you are a hiker, this is a great hike and the best (and only) way to get a view of the whole island. It took us about 45 minutes to hike up and as a warning the last half is all boulders so you will be using your hands to climb as well. After, we went to Kenepa beach where I felt like we were on a vacation from our vacation. Since we weren’t surrounded by other cruisers and most people were speaking Dutch, I felt like we were definitely in a different country. We left in plenty of time to head back to port where we drove around for a few minutes before returning the car.
Day 8 + 9 – Sea Days
Back to the sea days! As mentioned before we usually spend these by working out, playing dodgeball, and enjoying the adults only deck on the ship. We had a little bit of rain on both days, but other than that we just lounged on the chairs! There is nothing like being in the middle of the ocean and having no responsibilities.
Day 10 – Ft. Lauderdale
We had a full day ahead of us before we had to catch our flight out of Ft. Lauderdale. We made another spontaneous decision to rent a car in Miami ($15/day, yes please) and drove around Miami and then to Ft. Lauderdale. I was pretty sick so there wasn’t much we could do, but we did get to enjoy some time walking along the beach. It was super cold hence why we are in long sleeves!
- Bring your own water bottle/cups. This way you will avoid having to refill their small ones.
- Pre-order water to your room. It’s $2.99/12 pack and so handy to have.
- Keep bathing suit + sunscreen in your carry on. The first day the lounge chairs and pools are empty, so you will have the area to yourself.
- Bring a plug extender for your room. Something like this (the one we brought didn’t work, but this will).
- If you go out of Miami, use Uber (much cheaper than taxi) to get to port. Use carolineh2699ue for $15 off your ride. Make sure to download app and setup your account with credit card and enter info ahead of time so you can request a car right away.
- Find the facebook group for your specific cruise. It’s a great way to meet people and get ideas for excursions.
- Bring an underwater camera.
- Bring some towel clips. We didn’t have them, but were jealous of those who did because it gets sooooo windy!
- Bring googles. You will want these to see all the beautiful fish in the clear waters.
- Book your cruise using ebates. We booked through priceline and got $91 cash back.
- Make sure to do the activities (slides, ropes course, games, etc) during the start of the cruise. If it is too windy (or there is other bad weather) they will shut those things down and if you save them for last you won’t be able to do them at all.
- Download the Carnival app. It is very helpful to have for the ships time (will need that since port times will vary) as well as the schedules.
- I don’t remember this in the past, but Carnival offered social media and internet packages for very cheap.
- Bring a jacket because sections of the ship are cold!
- Book excursions through 3rd parties. You will save a lot of money by doing this.
- Have questions? Leave a comment and I will answer!
I didn’t start sharing our traveling adventures on the blog until the end of 2013, but you can see some of our vacations below as well as how to travel on a budget here.

With November 1 just around the corner, I’ve spent the past few days preparing a post on the communion of Saints. But, as with many of this week’s best-laid plans, recent weather events forced me to reconsider my original plan. And although my thoughts on Hurricane Sandy are a bit scattered and inchoate, it seems rather silly of me on a site called Daily Theology to ignore the obvious epochal event howling outside. Of course, sitting here at my computer, warm, dry, and safe, enjoying the convenience of electricity and Internet (at least for now!), my reflections seem a bit trite, but I offer them with the hope that others will chime in with their own experiences and reflections on the storm.
Based on the posts I’ve seen on Facebook, my east coast friends and I are sheltered and safe, and yet still quite distracted, understandably, by the sheer force of Mother Nature wailing outside. As we’ve scurried about hoarding flashlights and batteries, stocking up on food and water, Hurricane Sandy has made us ask questions we usually don’t think about: do I have enough food? Water? Basic supplies? Can loved ones get a hold of me? It has compelled us to notice so many of the things that we take for granted like access to safe shelter, clean, running water, waste management, electricity, and relatively safe roads. And as she continues to pass over, Sandy is reminding us that no matter how much we try to control things in our lives, we are ultimately not immune to external, uncontrollable forces.
Sandy seems to be offering us a glimpse—albeit faint and passing–into the vulnerability and uncertainty many of our brothers and sisters all over the world experience on a daily basis. They live their lives day to day, hour to hour, unsure of where their next meal will come from, whether enough or too much rain will fall on their crops, or if a bomb will be dropped on their home. People in our own country survive in a sort of liminal space, one crisis—an injury or a lost job–away from personal or financial ruin. So many human beings live in constant fear and uncertainty, vulnerable to storms of violence, poverty, addiction, sickness, hunger and pain and often completely dependent on the decisions made by people in power halfway across the world.
As a faith educator, I’ve spent a lot of time advocating Catholic Social Teaching, preaching to people that Christ calls us to enter the suffering of others and to tend to the needs of the poor and vulnerable. But if I’m really honest, Sandy is forcing me to recognize just how wrapped up I am in my own affairs. If anyone else out there is feeling the uncomfortable anxiety I’m feeling every time the lights flicker, perhaps you also understand how much easier it seems to spend time and energy keeping the suffering experienced in this world at a distance and focus instead on alleviating our own pains, serving our own needs, and satiating own our desires. I’m sympathetic to the disciples out in the middle of the storm on the Sea of Galilee when they indignantly ask Jesus: “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing??” or James and John when they ask “Grant that in your glory we may sit one at your right and the other at your left.”
I know as Sandy continues to pass over, we all continue to pray for those grievously impacted by the Hurricane and for those who are putting their lives on the line to help others. As I continue to enjoy the comfort and safety of my home, I thank God for the many blessings in my life, most of which I know I take for granted. And in the long run, I pray for the grace to be less concerned about my own comfort and for the desire to open myself more willingly to the unnoticed storms and hurricanes that ravage peoples’ lives on a daily basis. | <urn:uuid:a5530dbb-41ab-485f-994c-c84790234726> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://dailytheology.org/2012/10/29/reflections-during-hurricane-sandy/ | 2017-11-23T10:54:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806771.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123104442-20171123124442-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.960743 | 819 | [

Years down the line, you will not be able to remember everything that happened in the Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens. Instead, the game will be boiled down to a few key moments.
The game itself was a great one. Joe Flacco and the Ravens came out on fire and built up a 28-6 lead over the NFC champs. However, a 23-3 run by the 49ers made it a competitive game.
In the end, Baltimore was able to do enough to win 34-31. However, these will be the things that will be remembered from Super Bowl XLVII.
A few minutes into the second half, the lights went out in the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The game was halted and play was not able to resume until after a 34-minute delay.
This led to an explosion on Twitter that ranged from a little clever to a little scary:
Or it's the most expensive Buffalo Wild Wings commercial ever. That or Die Hard. #Blackout2013-2-4 01:45:30
What if this blackout ended and Bane was standing on the field?2013-2-4 01:38:48
Once the issue was fixed, it seemed like only one team was ready to come back. The 49ers scored the next 17 points and had all of the momentum for the rest of the game.
While the Ravens ended up winning, an alternate result would have caused many to blame the blackout for affecting the outcome of the game.
Fortunately, this ended up being just a minor disturbance. Still, this will certainly be referenced for years to come as "the time the lights went out at the Super Bowl."
Ray Lewis' Last Game
It seemed like this was all the media talked about going into the game. After the game, it was much of the same story.
Ray Lewis has put together a fantastic career and will certainly go into the Hall of Fame as one of the best linebackers of all time.
When he announced that he was retiring at the end of the season, the Ravens rallied around him and went on a magical run to win the Super Bowl.
Lewis was able to leave the game on top, just like John Elway. It did not seem possible entering the year, but he has added to his legacy in a very positive way.
Even if he was not the best player on the field, he will certainly be the one that people remember when thinking about the championship.
Pass Interference Non-Call
With just under two minutes remaining in the game, the 49ers had a chance to take the lead with a touchdown. They got the ball to the 5-yard line with just a fourth-down play to score.
Colin Kaepernick threw a fade to Michael Crabtree, although the receiver appeared to be held by Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith.
Coach Jim Harbaugh did not hold back his criticism when discussing the play, according to Benjamin Hoffman of the New York Times. He told the media after the game, "There’s no question in my mind that there was a pass interference and then a hold on Crabtree on the last one."
Crabtree took a much more professional approach, according to Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com:
It was the last play, and I'm not going to blame the refs. It is what it is. It came down to the last play and it didn't happen. (If) somebody grabs me, you always expect the call, but you can't whine to the referee. It is what it is. You have to just take it like a man, take the ill.
A penalty would have given the 49ers a first down and four more chances to score a touchdown. However, either call would have caused one fanbase to complain.
Either way, this will likely be the lasting image as it was the moment that decided the winner of the 2013 Super Bowl. | <urn:uuid:820bacf9-2814-4780-a682-07c04b6d5d13> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1515524-super-bowl-xlvii-most-memorable-moments-from-thrilling-championship-clash | 2017-11-24T06:00:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807089.35/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124051000-20171124071000-00274.warc.gz | en | 0.982074 | 801 | [

Now that the leak is out, BN (read 1MPM6) quoted consensus as the reason for BN to spurn RU355.
Malaysiakini said Govt won't table bill.
I guess 1mPM6 is laughing at Hadi (and PAS) for being gullible and falling into BN's trap...
I say "Apa lagi PAS tunggu...
I read it simply as a double whammy for PAS...
1. Now that Najib has confirmed it is consensus for BN to shy away from taking over Hadi's RUU 355 private bill, PAS is left stranded on its dreams of pursuing RUU 355;
2. With Pakatan Harapan finalising its co-operation structure, PAS is also left out from the Pakatan political equation;
What is PAS going to do about it?
PAS has to realise by now that whatever UMNO does, it is for their own political benefit. There is nothing sentimental about it. Najib might be desperate to potray himself as the person promoting RUU 355 but in the end Najib realise that if he were to embrace RUU 355, then it's lights out for him and the field will be wide open for his political enemies to capitalise on his weakness.
Najib also realise that with his precarious position, he has to rely on Sabah and Sarawak to deliver the support. Turning his back on Sabaha and Sarawak's wishes will be suicidal. Najib, whether he like it or not, whether he admit it or not is currently hanging on his PMship through courtesy of Sabah and Sarawak politicians. Now that Sarawak and Sabah has openly defies his RUU 355 aspirations, Najib has no other choice but to make U-turn (lallang) on his decision. Nothing personal Hadi, it is just politics.
With Najib's supposedly backing, Hadi was confident that his RUU 355 will go through. He miscalculate and since Najib has backed down, Hadi and PAS is now the lone ranger in his RUU 355. Not only that, PAS has bypassed their opportunity to work together with other opposition parties.
PAS has again been fooled, hoodwinked by BN. This time Najib played out Hadi. What are PAS options?
PAS can go alone on RUU 355 and for sure it will not be tabled as govt papers will take priority over Hadis bill. In fact, RUU 355 may never be tabled. That is something Hadi has to accept.
So what now? PAS can continue fighting for their RUU 355. Nevr say never if PAS truly believes that it will strengthened their resolve for RUU 355. Never mind what others say. In this way, PAS will remain true to their original struggle to uphold Islam.
Being a lone, PAS can now focus on GE 14. Forget about working together. PAS can now choose where and when they ant to fight. If need be, let it be 3 or 4 cornered fights. But PAS must choose intelligently. This is not about payback. This is about strategy. You don't put your candidate against someone just because they are not in line with your thoughts. You put up your candidate because you believe in your chance of winning. This is not about reducing one's vote to help the other party wins.
PAS can forget about UMNO. They are now uselessly untrustworthy. Forget about it if someone whisper to Hadi that this is not their decision but boss decision. UMNO is UMNO and UMNO is PAS's political enemy. Forget about those soothtalkers who whisper that PAS is calling the shots in GE 14. That is all sweeteners. PAS need to rely on its stregth. Some may choose to leave pAs now since RUU 355 is defeated. Some may think Pakatan is a better option. Let them be.
PAS befriended failures since the 60's. There is nothing stopping PAS now.

Sunday Morning Bonus Pulp: Detective Fiction Weekly, April 4. 1936
DETECTIVE FICTION WEEKLY was an early favorite pulp of mine because I came across a number of copies of it, back in the days when finding pulps in used bookstores was pretty rare in this neck of the woods. I never had this issue, but if I had I'm sure I would have enjoyed it. The lead story is by T.T. Flynn, one of my favorite pulp Western authors. I wish somebody would reprint some of his stories from the detective pulps. Other authors in this issue include Cornell Woolrich, Carroll John Daly, and Richard Wormser. Sounds good to me. | <urn:uuid:988485d3-6c09-4899-a0b1-13464927e272> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://jamesreasoner.blogspot.com/2013/08/sunday-morning-bonus-pulp-detective.html | 2017-11-18T19:35:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805023.14/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118190229-20171118210229-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.98319 | 141 | [

Audified have announced the availability of TNT Voice Executor, a unique utilitarian plug-in offering no-nonsense processing of vocal and spoken word tracks to sophisticatedly solve any issues instantaneously.
When recording and broadcasting vocals or spoken word different treatments are needed and this accomplished by applying effects to suit individual voices to get them sounding perfect. Problem is, though, that takes time and effort.
And in today’s time-stressed production climate that’s a luxury many of us no longer enjoy — exactly the dilemma faced by TNT Recording and Postproduction Studios owner Tomáš Trkal. Unlike most mix engineers, however, as a software programmer he had the talent to do something about it.
Enter TNT Voice Executor, a unique utilitarian plug-in named after that studio, offering no-nonsense processing of vocal and spoken word tracks to sophisticatedly solve any issues instantaneously.
Getting a great sound with TNT Voice Executor couldn’t be simpler. Simply select a preset then use the three knobs to set the INPUT and OUTPUT volumes (using the I/O meters), tweak the DRIVE (effect) amount, and you’re good to go! Gathered into four groups, each preset contains several variants for both male and female voices. The right-side of the plug-in’s crystal-clear GUI (Graphical User Interface) simply shows which effects are engaged and how much gain is being reduced. Really, it’s as simple as that. | <urn:uuid:51f5e356-e822-4d67-b552-ccc009964052> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.dontcrack.com/news/2017/03/audified-announce-tnt-voice-executor/ | 2017-11-19T13:57:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805649.7/warc/CC-MAIN-20171119134146-20171119154146-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.946237 | 311 | [

For decorating a bedroom, one can add endless choices to the list. Since your bedroom is that perfect spot in the home which you can proudly call your own. It is your sanctuary where you can spend some quality time with yourself or with your loved ones. Therefore, your bedroom should ooze out maximum levels of comfort and grace at the same time. And you should leave no stone unturned to decorate it as per the modern standards of living. Now bedroom décor is a vast term and you can accessorize it to your heart’s content if the budget allows. But many of us falter here. Because of the budget constraints, some people end up buying cheap quality products for their bedrooms. Not a very nice thing, is it? Certainly not! So, here are 5 stunning bedroom décor ideas to go by to give it a perfect look.
1. Wall Colors
Firstly, start with the basics of bedroom décor; the wall paints play a major role in giving it a beautiful look. For bedrooms; generally softer tones are preferred and recommended as well by the home décor experts. Go for shades of white, grey or light green for master bedrooms. For the bedrooms of children; go for lighter shades of pink for girls and blue for boys and they will absolutely love it. You can even add multiple shades to each wall of your bedroom or paint one wall with a different color than the rest to make the bedroom look chicer.
2. Wall Art
Now having the right kind of wall art in the bedroom plays an important role in making it look modern and stunning. These days, adding mirrors on the walls has become a great replacement for hanging other types of wall art. Because they give your bedroom a wider look and look great as well. You can hang a couple of wall-sized mirrors on the alternate walls and you will no longer need any more wall art for your bedroom walls.
3. Leather Furniture
Quite a unique trend to follow which is also very much in fashion these days, especially for bedroom décor, is to add a beautiful set of leather-made sofas with a wooden coffee table. By doing this, you will create that perfect spot in your bedroom. Where you can just sit back and relax with your loved ones on lazy summer evenings and long winter nights right by the fireplace. Moreover, you can also add a great comforter set for your master bed with matching pillows and fluffy cushions to balance out with the furniture.
4. Carpets And Rugs
Always a great idea to go by! Place a beautiful Turkish rug right next to the bed and you will not be able to go outside of your bedroom without getting your feet dig into it for a while. It’s that soft and fluffy. Moreover, you can also buy matching carpets with the curtains or with the furniture color to give your room a beautiful ambiance.

Karan Johar directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil is constantly in the news because of the Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. There had been a lot of protests and even calls to ban the film, especially from MNS. On that front, Mukesh Bhatt, President of Film and Television Producers Guild of India, met a Mumbai Police representative today, to ensure that the theaters who will screen Ae Dil Hai Mushkil remain safe.
Last week, COEAI had announced that the single theater owners won’t release ADHM due to the Pakistani actor in it. CEO of Fox Star Studios, one of the producers for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, also met the DCP of Mumbai Ashok Dudhe. Dudhe said that Mumbai police will provide adequate protection to cinema theaters as and when required.
ADHM stars Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Fawad Khan. It is slated to release on 28th October, 2016 and will clash with Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay. | <urn:uuid:6ba25177-3c27-4434-98d9-2d88331bffb0> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://bollywoodfolks.com/ae-dil-hai-mushkil-mumbai-police-to-provide-security-to-theaters-screening-the-film/ | 2017-11-21T04:19:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806316.80/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121040104-20171121060104-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.959137 | 216 | [

San Marino Hotel
- What's Included
- All Inclusive Features
San Marino is extremely basic, with one buffet restaurant and small pools. The rooms are simple, but beautiful and clean. The staff is lively and upbeat, as are the activities and the music at the pool however the hotel can get full on weekends causing the service to suffer a bit. The beach and pool at this property are so-so but there is an impressive pier just in front of the hotel. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It's located right downtown, just minutes from restaurants, shopping and nightlife. No taxi needed! This hotel is gay-friendly, and offers both all-inclusive and European plan (no meals) packages.
This hotel offers wonderful atmosphere and tradition, and is surrounded by many lovely restaurants, shops, nightclubs & discos.
Locations: On the beach set in downtown Puerto Vallarta, 20 minutes from the airport.
The location is perfect, but the hotel is just ok. Not terrible, not great. Even though we were there last week (off season) there were LOTS of families with kids. They tell you one pool is adults only when you arrive, but there were kids in both. So you had the activities and games organized by the hotel on the main pool, and then you had the kids playing and splashing in the "adults" one so forget about just lounging and relaxing at the pools. The food was good, I was actually surprised. I thought it would be terrible but it was actually good. Drinks were ok. Bottom shelf liquors of course but the bartenders did the best they could with them. If you come to the hotel please tip them! Most people would just come and ask for drinks over and over without leaving a dime. Same for the servers at the restaurant, they bring drinks and pick up after you and people just would leave nothing. AC at the room would barely work the first day but later it was acceptable, I guess you just have to leave it on for so long. The bed was ok, not hard like I see in some comments. The shower had great pressure but the toilet had barely any so you had to flush at least twice. The beach is terrible. Full of locals that bring food, coolers and speakers, and they won't clean after themselves. We would always walk further past mantamar for a clean, not crowded beach. I wouldn't rule out this hotel next time I go to PV but I would definitely look at other options as well.
The location is good, you can walk to many nearby restaurants and clubs, also you can start your walk in the "malecon" from the hotel. The staff in the restaurants is very helpful, and the diversity of the buffet is also good.A lot of things are really bad in this hotel. 1) The rooms are filthy and old, you can see a lot of cracks, and stains. I change room 3 times when I arrived because the first one smells really bad, the second was leaking water from the roof, and finally the 3rd one in the 7th floor was kind of "acceptable" 2) There are no electric plugs in the room, only one in the bathroom, so if you need to connect cell phones or any other device it has to be put in the bathroom, or disconnect the TV and use that one. 3) The beds are solid rock, literally, the base in made of concrete and has a mattress on the top, but you can feel the springs and this was not only in my room, was also in my friend's room. 4) The bathroom has no light in the shower area, and the shower door is dark, so at night or even during the day because I closed the restroom door, I was showering in complete darkness or left the shower door open and allow the water to splash on the bathroom floor.5) All the bathroom faucets were old, and the tile was cracked in many places.6) All the room furniture is old, the chair and nightstand had "bubbles" on the wood, and were in less than acceptable condition, even though I have an "upgraded" room7) The glasses and plates used on the restaurant buffet are old and with a lot of use, they need to be renewed. 8) The swimming pool was dirty, they put a lot of chemicals at night and during the day you can smell the chemicals, the water looked not clear. Instead of cleaning and renewing they just "kill" the dirt with chemicals.
Excellent location. Right on the beach. Next to the newly built Pier. Close to lots of restaurants, which is a good thing because the lunch and dinner buffet at The San Marino is not too good. But they serve up an excellent breakfast.
Directly on the beach and very well located. A/C works great. Rooms are big. Hotel is pretty dumpy. Bedding/Towels are old. The Bathroom has great water pressure and is largely clean (other than the shower curtain), but its old, old, and worn. Hotel has entertainment during the day. Loud entertainment that will prevent a nap from happening even if you're a heavy sleeper. At night, some of the rooms back up to a busy pedestrian street that also has significant noise. But that usually dies down around 11pm or so. Hotel caters to families with children. Its the kind of place where you'll live if you end up there, but you'd probably rather be somewhere else if you're staying for more than 1 night.
I couldn't put a date because trip advisor only has certain dates to enter,but it was 3 years ago and I felt the need to thank you all fro San Marino. I am not really sure what to say except that this hotel took complete care of me.I was in a different Hotel, Canto Del Sol and got robbed and beaten, basically left for dead. I had a bleeding-severe concussion, in which I could not travel back home for almost month. I could not walk alone being so afraid and dizziness overwhelmed me.Canto Del Sol, kicked me out, being I would cause negative attention to the hotel.In all my vacation ended up costing me over 15,000$, 5000$ in cell phone bills, lost my money at Canto which they would not refund me, I still have a lawyer working on my case.Now San Marino, welcomed me with open arms, came to my room everytime I called, delivered my food, water anything I needed. Keep in mind I think I left my room 3 times in almost a month, which was really hard..but they always checked up on me.I love this hotel so much, they basically saved my life. Every one was so wonderful to me, they took care of me, they checked in on me...I will forever love this hotel and family feel forever. It may not be beautiful but it has the best location in PV. The staff, impeccable. They even informed and kept in touch with my insurance Company and provided everything I needed to make a claim when I finally arrived home a month later....Thank you Staff, Management... I will love you all forever.

So I am nearing the end of day 2.
No diet coke. No cheese (apart from feta which at this stage I havent had anyway). No whey products including protein powders and quest bars (this is a struggle). Most days eating burgen bread instead of white or multigrain. And aiming for as much natural, organic foods as possible.
So far so good. I have had headaches from cutting out the diet coke but have lived on panadeine forte for the past 27 hours or so LOL (i take panadeine forte as I am allergic to nurofen). Which has meant I have slept a lot. 11 hours last night and I have just woken from a nap.
The hardest thing so far is breakfast. I leave for work as early as 6.05am and I eat my breakfast at work. For that reason, rolled oats and protein powder has worked a treat for me...but I have felt I have been having too much protein powder. When I research whey protein powder and PCOS I get a lot of varying opinions on whether it is a issue or not. I did look on examine.com....and it didnt say that whey affects hormone levels....and I suspect 30 grams a day would be fine...90 grams a day not so much ;) Anyway back to breakfast, I need a easy portable breakfast and actually really like my oats :( When I lost the weight before I ate weetbix with honey and milk everyday....I dont mind weetbix but dont love them and due to ear/balance issues have been avoiding milk since approx april so dont really want to reintroduce it. This morning I had oats, with natural peanut butter. Which is fine to have...definitely very natural....the only issue is I also have gone back to a banana with PB for my snack too...so it may be too much fat. Then again I am cutting out cheese.
Ultimately at the moment I am trying to eat very bare then I will slowly add SOME things back in to see if I can maintain weight loss. I mean if over the next few weeks I do consistently lose...well haha *throws hands up in the air"....no if the losses dont happen there are a couple of things I could try (before I see the dietician and exercise physiologist) I could try dropping the cals to 1200...I could also try carb cycling...and also dramatically increasing my exercise (not tempted by this at all lol). But eating this way worked last time...so I guess I will be surprised if it doesnt work. If it doesnt tho...all joking aside....the exercise will need to increase....but we will see..its not like I am doing NO exercise at the moment...just not the same level as 4 years ago.
Its interesting, ive listened for years to the "your not a special snowflake" people suggesting...one cardio is pointless...heavy lifting was the only way to go and you need to eat more...and as long as you are in a calorie deficit you will lose weight. Well damn im obviously a special snowflake LOL cos being in a calorie deficit is no guarantee I will lose...going back to what Jillian says...not about quantity but quality :) | <urn:uuid:9cf6ed2d-faff-4432-8af0-e988d9d9f865> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://kazzsjourney.blogspot.com/2015/09/quality-over-quantity.html | 2017-11-21T22:50:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806438.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121223707-20171122003707-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.964936 | 670 | [

Game Informer: "As rewarding as this game is, it hands out a fair share of aggravating moments. Every car doubles as the car from Christine, looking for the chance to splatter you on the asphalt. Pedestrians are aware of you now, and will jump out of your way more often, but they still get in your way, potentially killing a video-worthy moment. While these elements need to be addressed more than they have, the biggest killer in this game is the respawn system. After a huge bail, you could find yourself respawning at the base of a hill, in a wedge, or on the top of an awning that will make you bail when you drop. The logic behind this is that in the fairness of realism you can use the new walk maneuver to get yourself back to where you need to be. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case, and you are forced to restart the event. The new walk maneuver isn't wasted, however. Being able to walk upstairs and hop over ledges removes some of the frustration associated with the lay of the land." | <urn:uuid:16b596e1-a819-487f-9407-ec1dbf8371aa> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://n4g.com/news/263402/game-informer-skate-2-review | 2017-11-22T00:20:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806438.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121223707-20171122003707-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.959424 | 222 | [

Recently, Ontario Municipal Insurance Exchange applied for an order from the UK Royal Court of Justice dismissing an action against it, arguing that England was not the proper forum for the action brought against it by Stonebridge Underwriting Limited (a Lloyd’s underwriter). The claim arose out of an alleged failure by Stonebridge to pay under a 2001-2002 reinsurance contract. The Judge denied Ontario’s request, finding that the concurrent proceedings initiated by Ontario against JTL Canada (on issues directly related to this case) in Canadian Court did not provide a decisive reason for the UK Court to decline jurisdiction. The Court was mindful of the fact that many of the witnesses and much of the evidence were present in Canada, but that these issues were outweighed by the factors in favor of English jurisdiction. The Court noted that a great deal of London reinsurance relates to risk around the globe, and that often, the UK is still the most appropriate jurisdiction. Stonebridge Underwriting Ltd. v. Ontario Mun. Ins. Exchange, EWHC 2279 (Queen’s Bench Oct. 9, 2010). | <urn:uuid:bb88469f-3ca5-4fe1-9d34-116844cfc2b5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=411dc2c2-a893-43be-9f48-cc96b3519614 | 2017-11-21T23:27:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806438.11/warc/CC-MAIN-20171121223707-20171122003707-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.965242 | 223 | [

This section is from the book "The Principles And Practice Of Modern House-Construction", by G. Lister Sutcliffe. Also available from Amazon: How Your House Works: A Visual Guide to Understanding & Maintaining Your Home.
Comfort. - In no other country have the amenities of home-life been so well developed in respect of the plan of the dwelling as in the British Islands. This is partly due to the climate, and partly to the domestic habits of the prosperous classes. In other words, people are obliged to live indoors, and many can afford to make themselves very comfortable there. It is of course in the country, and in the residences of the more wealthy, that the organization of the interior of the house becomes thoroughly elal>oratcd; hut none the less in our middle-class dwellings innumerable examples may be found in which domestic convenience is almost unconsciously perfected, and the conditions of family enjoyment exquisitely fulfilled.
Section I. Plan By Robert Kerr
Architect. F.R.I B.A.
Emeritus Profesor Of The Arts Of Construction, King's Collage. London
Author Of "The English Gentelman's House". Etc.
Section I. - plan.
To make a thoroughly comfortable house, every apartment must be planned by itself, and for its own uses; and the designer will do well in all cases to take into account - in fact, to plot upon his paper plan - the disposition of the furniture. There are too many dining-rooms, for example, in which the place for the sideboard is by no means easily determined, and too many bedrooms in which there is no proper place for the bedstead; which is surely inexcusable.
That a family dwelling should be healthy, or primarily devoid of all elements of insalubrity, may go without saying; but, even in a matter apparently so simple, it does not follow that careful design can be dispensed with; indeed, the scientific question is not generally recognized as it ought to be. We are apt altogether to overlook the fact that we live in an ocean - that of the air, - the purity of whose chemical composition is life and joy to us, and its impurity disease and misery. Upon the bed of this ocean, also, we form patches of incrustation, large or small, which we call our towns, composed of multitudinous individual nests called our houses - elsewhere also scattered about singly, - in which we take up our abode and follow many of our occupations.
confining the air by unnatural restraints, compromising its purity in a handled ways of negative neglect and positive disorganization and defilement, and, indeed, too frequently so doing with a thoughtlessness almost childish in its innocent complacency. What with our own breathing or blood-cleansing, our skin waste, our fires and smoke, the dust from our upholstery and clothing, our drainage, sometimes our actual manufacture of pestilential vapours, all coupled with an exclusion of that supply of restless fresh air which is beneficently seeking entrance at every point, these dwellings of ours, even of the best class, only too readily become unwholesome; while in those of an inferior order, actual atmospheric poisoning is often the rule rather than the exception. The architect takes upon himself the responsibility of dealing scientifically, in the details of his plan, not only with "smells" and flagrant want of ventilation, but with a demand for brightness, airiness, proper aspect for sunshine, even prospect for cheerfulness - in short, all the environment, within and without, upon whose wholesomeness in one way or another healthy occupancy depends. Salubrity thus becomes a question of plan; and if close and stuffy rooms are generallv avoidable by ordinary ventilation from the open air, and by cleanliness within (especially as regards upholstery), stuffy passages and staircases may no less be avoided by a careful consideration on paper of the facilities for producing air-currents (not necessarily draughts) by means of windows, or, where necesnecesary, ventilated sky-lights. Damp, again, must be provided against, and the ascent of ground-air. In the case of sunk basements, nature's advice to us manifestly is to avoid altogether having habitable rooms underground; but where this cannot be done let particular care be taken to provide for atmospheric circulation under wood floors and through closed places; for the unwholesome air confined in the ground will force its way up into the warm house if it can - even through stone paving or a concrete covering. It is a good thing, also, to form emergency flues in the walls, to be turned to account if necessary.
It is no less injudicious to build our dwellings anywhere than to design them anyhow. In the open country, whether it be a stately mansion or a humble cottage, or, more usually, a comfortable family home, the situation of the house is most important. Where freedom of choice is unrestricted, let first the front containing the entrance, secondly that containing the garden windows, and thirdly the offices, be so planned separately as leading features, that never on any account can they be confused together. On the contrary, so dispose them that each facade of the house shall serve effectually by itself its own proper purpose - the entrance-front that of convenient ingress and egress, the garden-front that of bright and cheerful family privacy, and the offices-front that of the special operative department to which it pertains. For instance, it is quite inadmissible for the carriage-drive to pass through or along the lawn; or for the tradesmen's carts to use the principal approach; or for the kitchen-entrance to be in sight of the family rooms; or for the lawn or garden to be overlooked by the servants. Even in very modest dwellings something like a recognition of these elementary rules may be observed. To a considerable extent also in towns the same principles may be applied. Fig. 1 shows an example of typical treatment for a suburban house of good size.
It is astonishing that so few people consider the question of aspect. That of prospect or agreeable outlook is not generally neglected; but the elementary fact that aspect, or the influence of the weather and sunshine upon the house within, is of paramount importance, seems to be almost unknown. The aspect-compass here introduced (Fig. 2) may be usefully studied. All the year round and everywhere in our hemisphere the sun is south at noon, and sunrise and sunset always at about equal distances therefrom eastward and westward; the sunshine lasting from about 6 a.m. till 6 p.m. (12 hours) at the March and September quarter-days or equinoxes; from about 8 a.m. till 4 p.m. (8 hours) at Midwinter or Christmas, the shortest day; and from about 4 a.m. till 8 p.m. (16 hours) at Midsummer, the longest day. In our country, northward aspects are cold, and southward warm: the north-eastward catches cold winds, and the north-westward and south-westward boisterous winds; the south-westward is wet, and the south-eastward dry and mild. Sultry weather tells most oppressively upon a room which catches the afternoon sunshine by facing south-westward or westward, and the westward sunshine coming into a room is also at a disagreeably low level; the position of the sun being of course in all cases north east at 3 a.m., east at 6, south-east at 9, south at 12 noon, south-west at 3 p.m., west at 6, north-west at 9, and north at 12 midnight. It follows, therefore, that for coolness and shade generally, windows should look more or less northward; for the morning sunshine, eastward; for mid-day sunshine, southward; for evening sunshine (or the sunset-prospect), westward; for morning coolness, westward; and for evening coolness, eastward; and the best compromise to suit most purposes is the south-eastward. We must remember. too., that sunshine in itself is an important health-agent, and the house may be so arranged that the principal rooms shall be well "sunned" in the early part of the day, and left to cool afterwards in such a way as shall be convenient and comfortable to the inmates. For instance, to be obliged to keep the window-blinds of certain rooms drawn down almost all day long, or to have other rooms insufferably stuffy in the afternoon although the sunshine is off the window.-, is obviously an unfortunate state of things. | <urn:uuid:e40328f7-3afa-4fdb-9bec-80973a44896e> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://chestofbooks.com/architecture/House-Construction/Chapter-I-Apartment-Planning-General-Considerations.html | 2017-11-23T12:48:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806832.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123123458-20171123143458-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.953796 | 1,813 | [

Elaborate baby gender reveals are all the rage these days. Even Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky got in on the action recently, sharing they were expecting a second boy by DJ hitting an exploding golf ball on a beach. And now an ESPN anchor has taken a cue from the World No. 1 with his own announcement.
Peter Burns, who appears on the ESPN SEC Network and hosts the Booger and Burns radio show, and his wife shared their baby news with a golf ball on a beach as well. But not just any beach. Pebble Beach.
Burns teed off on the iconic par-3 7th with a trick golf ball while his excited wife waited. Check it out:
This isn't the first time in recent weeks that one of golf's most famous par 3s has been used for a momentous occasion. During Masters week, a couple got engaged on Augusta National's 12th hole with the help of PGA Tour pro Kevin Kisner.
Anyway, great stuff, Peter. And smart move to get the OK for that $500 green fee. We hope you hit a real shot as well. | <urn:uuid:492ae3f0-0f96-4c55-8b7c-878fa73bcdf5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.golfdigest.com/story/espn-anchor-does-gender-reveal-of-baby-from-pebble-beachs-7th-hole | 2017-11-23T12:40:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806832.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123123458-20171123143458-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.96507 | 232 | [

VANCOUVER, BC – In a battle to earn a place among the final four in the United States Soccer Development Academy (USSDA) playoffs, Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-16 are set to take on Chicago Magic PSG U-16 on Tuesday, July 8. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. PT at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham, Washington.
The winner of Tuesday’s contest will advance to the USSDA semifinals, which will take place on July 17 at the U.S. Soccer’s National Training Center in Carson, California. The USSDA championship match will then be held on July 19.
WHITECAPS FC U-16 RESIDENCY
After missing out on the post-season last year, the young ‘Caps finished as the Northwest Division champions in 2014 thanks to an impressive 15W-5L-7D record. As a result, they advanced to the USSDA Round of 32 and were placed in Group C alongside fellow Major League Soccer academy side Houston Dynamo U-16, Weston FC, and Match Fit Academy.
The first round of the playoffs took place between June 23-27 in Westfield, Indiana, and the Blue and White fought the extreme weather in addition to some very talented opponents en route to a perfect 3W-0L-0D record. In those games, Whitecaps FC U-16 outscored their opponents by a 7-1 margin.
In their first match, which was delayed for over an hour due to a tornado touching down near Westfield, the ‘Caps took down Match Fit Academy U-16 2-0. Striker Dario Zanatta, who led the team with 25 goals in 27 regular appearances this season, potted both goals in the win. The Victoria-born striker also found the back of the net the following game – a 1-0 win over fellow MLS academy Houston Dynamo U-16.
Finally, Vancouver saved their best for last and clinched a berth in the USSDA quarter-finals with a 4-1 win over Weston FC. The ‘Caps were powered by a four-goal second half that saw Zanatta, defender Eric De Graaf, forward Hayden Simmonds-O’Grady, and midfielder Riley Pang find the back of the net.
It was a fantastic week in Westfield now Whitecaps FC U-16 are among the final eight teams in the 78-team USSDA, but head coach Rich Fagan said the team isn’t satisfied just yet.
“The staff are extremely proud of the players’ first round effort and performance,” said Fagan, who spoke glowingly of the team’s defensive play and various offensive contributions, “but we still have everything to play for.”
CHICAGO MAGIC PSG U-16
After posting a 17W-9L-1D record in the Central Conference’s Mid-America Division during the regular season, Chicago fought their way to a 2W-0L-1D record in the first round of the playoffs.
Magic PSG first dispatched of Albertson SC 3-0 on June 24 – 1998-born forward Elijah Rice picked up two of the tallies for Chicago. Luka Prpa, who notched 13 goals in the regular season, had the other.
In their second showdown, Chicago played to a scoreless draw with MLS academy Philadelphia Union U-16. Goalkeeper Konrad Dziedzic was the standout on the day, as he earned a clean sheet to keep Chicago’s chances of advancing alive.
In their third and final match of the group stage, Prpa stole the show again for Magic PSG. The Wisconsin native scored both of Chicago goals en route to a 2-1 win over Kendall SC U-16. Striker Kendall Stork, who led Chicago with 18 goals in the regular season, was held off the scoresheet in the first round of the playoffs.
Fagan said he’s watched extensive footage of Chicago and knows the ‘Caps can’t underestimate them going into Tuesday’s quarter-final.
“Chicago had a strong regular season and they are currently enjoying a positive post-season,” Fagan told whitecapsfc.com. “As a staff, we do everything possible to prepare the players for each opponent, but ultimately the main focus is our own performance.” | <urn:uuid:a2b51e8f-721c-41e5-9913-56fb6a779414> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2014/07/04/whitecaps-fc-residency-u-16-set-take-chicago-magic-psg-u-16-tuesday-ussda-quarter | 2017-11-23T12:56:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806832.87/warc/CC-MAIN-20171123123458-20171123143458-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.955271 | 926 | [

If you are like me and have a large number of VM’s on 2008 R2 and Cluster Shared Volumes requiring parrelle backups you should have a look at this hot fix
The Cluster service stops responding if you run backup applications in parallel in Windows Server 2008 R2
hand you have
- You install the Failover Clustering feature on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
- On this computer, you run some backup applications that use Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) in parallel.
The hot fix addresses
This issue occurs because of a race condition between the calls of the VSS writer on the cluster. If an OnBackupShutdown method call occurs between an OnFreeze method call and an OnThaw method call, the lock on the cluster hive is not released. Therefore, a deadlock occurs, and the Cluster service stops responding.
take a look and see if it will help your environment. | <urn:uuid:f4547477-ad1b-4bac-8ea2-351cb73ea9cb> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://wpjsplace.wordpress.com/2010/10/01/backups-and-csv-cluster-hot-fix/ | 2017-11-24T07:27:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807146.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124070019-20171124090019-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.872946 | 196 | [

Lately, the big trend in Hollywood next to rebooting massive successful franchises or digging in the anime and gaming vaults for new hits seems to be taking little-known indie directors and placing them at the helm of big-budget blockbusters. With the trend becoming more apparent by each passing blockbuster, such as 2014’s Godzilla and most recently Kong: Skull Island, perhaps we should step back and really explore why these strange business choices seem to be happening.
As far as I can tell, the trend really began when Marc Webb was given the director’s chair for The Amazing Spider-Man. Having only 500 Days of Summer as his most credible and more well-known film (apart from a few shorts), Webb seemed like a very odd choice given the fact that he had never dabbled in action or big-budget films before, let alone the monumental task of a superhero film. Don’t get me wrong, Webb is a very talented director and when I first heard he would be taking on a new series of Spider-Man films, I was very optimistic that he would do a good job. For the most part, he did, as The Amazing Spider-Man turned out to be a surprisingly solid and well-acted origins tale, if not rehashing the same formula from the first Raimi film. It wasn’t until The Amazing Spider-Man 2 did I really see where studios were going with these choices.
The casting news began to build up as more indie-directors were suddenly thrust into the spotlight. Colin Trevorrow, who previously directed the overlooked comedy Safety Not Guaranteed, had Jurassic World put on his shoulders. Josh Trank, the director behind the pretty spectacular found footage superhero film Chronicle, got hired to direct the new Fantastic Four reboot (we all know how that turned out). Even James Gunn, who was more popularly known for his writing credits in past blockbusters but also dabbled in indie films like Slither and Super, was given Guardians of the Galaxy.
I believe the reasoning behind these choices comes from two relatively valid arguments. The indie filmmakers mentioned have all had solid and critically acclaimed indie films in the past. It could be that studios saw enough potential in them as a new wave of famous filmmakers with household name appeal that they got the jump on their careers and took a risk. In a few cases, it really pays off. James Gunn and Guardians of the Galaxy seemed to be a match made in heaven as Gunn’s style lended perfectly to the style of the comic book. Gareth Edwards, who already had a firm grasp of the more bold and daring monster film concept with his lesser-known Monsters, did a superb job in bringing Godzilla back to life with great directorial flair. Even most recently, Jordan Vogt-Roberts who brought us The Kings of Summer, did justice to Kong: Skull Island.
However, the conspiracy theorist nut in me tends to view it from a different perspective. In an age where not every film is a guaranteed success regardless of the name attached to it, studios are growing more weary and picky of which directors they give their properties to. While the bigger filmmakers of the industry seem to be focusing on passion projects and have gained enough power to demand complete control of their visions – another major risk factor for studios, especially (and most importantly) considering all of the films these indie-directors are attached to are usually just stepping stones to either franchising, universe-building or more sequels.
Could it be that studios are simply taking advantage of lesser known filmmakers for their own personal gain or because they genuinely see talent in them? I believe it’s a little bit of both. Regardless, if the film is considered a success, the directors now have a platform to propel themselves further in their careers while showcasing their talents to a wider audience. On the downside to this, if a studio does not like the way the filmmaker handles the film, they can easily intervene – a problem I’d imagine wouldn’t sit well with bigger directors (e.g. the fallout between Sam Raimi and Sony after Spider-Man 3’s creative differences). These can be problematic, usually resulting in abominations like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 or Fantastic Four where studio interference was very obvious.
For as long as films and potential franchises can be milked for all their worth, studios will continue to fish in the indie-director pond for more candidates. The success rate seems to be more in favour of the directors, though, and there’s a huge plus to this practice: successful films equal higher exposure for new talent. This new wave has plenty of great talent that I’d like to see succeed so we can eventually see greater and more original films – think Christopher Nolan pre-Batman trilogy versus the great films we got as a result of its success. Sounds good to me. | <urn:uuid:f8dcb84b-4946-4c33-91a4-a55b092c5b0f> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | https://www.screencritics.net/studios-hiring-indie-directors-blockbusters/ | 2017-11-24T07:37:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934807146.16/warc/CC-MAIN-20171124070019-20171124090019-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.971261 | 1,000 | [

Diversity Efforts Inventory
This overview of actions and strategies has been developed to provide the Augustana community a sense of our efforts, seen and unseen, to become a more diverse and inclusive institution. For the purposes of this inventory, “diversity” is defined primarily as racial diversity, and specifically applies to people who identify as African American, American Indian, Asian American or Chicano/Latino. Exceptions or overlap apply in listed efforts involving other underrepresented groups. In general, Augustana College recognizes the broader term “diversity” to include age, sex, gender identification, race, ethnicity, faith, socioeconomic and geographic background.
The inventory represents recent and pending actions undertaken by Augustana’s senior administration, and is divided into four sections: Recruitment, Student Life, Academic Affairs, and Board and Senior Leadership.
Cultural Diversity Award – The college offers the Cultural Diversity Award, $1,000–$5,000 annually, as a financial aid award to students from diverse backgrounds who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity while in high school and who we believe will contribute to the campus community.
Filling the MAP gap – In summer of 2016, the college shifted fundraising emphases to raise funds for student scholarships to address the failure of Illinois to provide funding for the Illinois MAP.
National Hispanic Institute (NHI) – Each July since 2004 we have partnered with NHI to host “The Great Debate,” an invitation-only event that brings approximately 150 Latino sophomores to our campus. In 2013 Augustana was recognized by NHI for this partnership. We help underwrite the cost with an investment of $25,000–$30,000 annually. During this event the Office of Admissions hosts an ice cream social and provides an information session. We track students who submit an inquiry card, apply and ultimately enroll. We are one of only four colleges with a similar partnership.
NHI student intern – Periodically, the Office of Admissions has employed a current student who is a graduate of the NHI to assist with Latino student outreach. These students have attended college fairs, called prospective students and in other ways actively recruited Latino students.
NHI College Fairs – Under Liz Nino’s leadership, we’ve started attending NHI College Fairs throughout the nation. This is an opportunity to connect with high-achieving Latino students and an international population from Latin America, as NHI hosts international students at some of these events.
Test-optional admissions option – Since 2009 Augustana has offered a test-optional admissions option for students dissatisfied with their standardized test performance. Augustana was among the earlier adopters of such a policy. Much of the case made for the policy, which was approved in a full faculty meeting, was to be more welcoming to non-native English speakers, first-generation college students, those traditionally impacted by test bias, and those who might have strong classroom performance but lower scores.
Bilingual admissions counselor – A full-time Spanish-speaking member of our admissions staff communicates with family members who do not speak English, and translates admissions materials and messages.
Spanish-speaking campus tours – For several years we’ve employed a cadre of current students who are able to provide Spanish-speaking campus tours upon request.
Customized admissions recommendations for students from Chicago Public Schools (CPS) – We have customized our recruitment program for students from CPS and Cook County to provide specific recommendation about next steps in the application process. This level of customization allows us to make clear recommendations about interviewing or applying test-optionally, and is focused on maximizing a student’s admission chances.
African-American male student outreach – We have begun coordinated and customized outreach to African-American males in our admitted pool. Eric Rowell and two African-American male Admissions Ambassadors are working with accepted students throughout the entire applicant pool to make connections and discuss the value of attending Augustana. In the past, all counselors were responsible for their territories exclusively; this cross-boundary outreach is new and provides an additional connection.
Partnership with The Guadalupe Center in Immokalee, Florida – For the past three admissions cycles we have provided a full-tuition award (four years) to a high-achieving student from Immokalee, Florida, who works with The Guadalupe Center there. This partnership was established with the assistance of a trustee who contributed generously to the full-tuition scholarship for our first students from Immokalee. We are one of about a dozen colleges in the country with a similar partnership with The Guadalupe Center.
Partnering with Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) – We enjoy very strong partnerships with several Chicago CBOs that work with high-achieving students from diverse backgrounds. We host 250+ students for college tours and programming on an annual basis.
Accepted students’ bus trip for first-time visitors from Chicago Public Schools – In recent recruitment cycles we’ve sponsored bus transport to campus for events that we host. These special events have been focused on students who otherwise may not be able to visit. These trips have enabled the college to host a large number of prospective students who can establish relationships and discover common interests. In the past several recruitment cycles, we have made special arrangements to reimburse the cost of a bus ticket for students who may not be able to visit otherwise. This modest investment has enabled more qualified students to visit campus.
Fast-application strategy – Since 2006 we’ve used a marketed application that has helped us build an increasingly large and diverse pool of students. This application, which populates known information, has enabled us to more than double our applicant pool of students of color from 1,411 for the fall of 2011 to nearly 3,100 for the fall of 2016. This is a very important tool in creating awareness of Augustana among traditionally underserved communities.
Off-campus interviews – With the addition of Chicago-based staff, we’ve greatly expanded our off-campus admissions interviews to engage more actively in recruitment and counseling while meeting more students where they are.
Off-campus financial aid meetings with accepted students and families – Our efforts to choose locations to meet for financial aid appointments revolve around convenience for students and their parents. Locations near train stations are a priority for reaching many families.
Quad Cities Diversity Recruitment Outreach – The Office of Admissions works with many QC Community-Based Organizations (CBOs). We are in contact with these organizations throughout the year to host groups of students, conferences and other events on Augustana’s campus. We invite students from all of these organizations to admissions recruitment programs and other events on campus (speakers, concerts, athletic events). We provide speakers and attend events that they sponsor. We donate money, facilities, refreshments, scholarships, ad sponsorships and raffle items to groups on this list. We stay in touch with the organizations identified below on a regular basis to reach students of all ages, parents and influencers:
United Way/Achieve Quad Cities
QC Scholars – Board Member

Outreach in Quad Cities – In addition to working with CBOs, we regularly reach out to Quad-Cities students in a number of ways beyond our regular recruitment events such as high school visits and college fairs. Given the increasing diversity of the Quad Cities, many of these outreach efforts translate into diversity outreach:
— We give classroom and whole school presentations at schools all over the Quad Cities on college preparation, career planning, college access, financial assistance, college application process, foreign languages. We do these not only in all of the Quad-Cities high schools (Illinois and Iowa), but also in many of the junior highs and grade schools.
— We offer junior high and high schools the resources of NACAC and IACAC through the Step by Step program to benefit their students (specifically first-generation students), sponsor counselors to attend the regional district seminar on campus, and provide NACAC/IACAC information to counselors.
— Augustana is one of the sponsors/site locations for Camp College and provides committee members for the regional weeklong college awareness and preparation program for rising seniors. Local students are recruited and encouraged to attend this free program.
— We provide scholarships to some local students to attend the Augustana Summer Academy.
— Liz Nino, our international recruiter, partners with ELL teachers in the area to recruit QC international students to campus for specific events.
— We also work with local high schools to host information sessions and visits to campus.
Admissions staff members participate in conferences, fairs and events all over the Quad Cities, including:
— College Changes Everything
— Youth Empowerment Conference, “I’m Worth It”
— Quad Cities Youth Conference
— Unity Fest
— Multicultural Speaker Series
— LULAC Bilingual College Fair
— Quad Cities College Application Week
— Viva Quad Cities
Admissions partners with other campus departments and offices to reach out into the community, including:
— Athletic camps and visit events
— Communication Sciences and Disorders seeks out first gen/multicultural students in the local schools to educate about careers in CSD. We are in the process of planning an education event at RIHS.
— Student United Way partners with admissions to work with local first generation and multicultural parents/students to campus to learn more about preparing their students for college.
— Work with the music department to reach out to students all over the Quad Cities through programs such as the Second Baptist RI Outreach Arts and Music Academy.
Epic Academy – Epic Academy is a relatively new charter high school serving economically disadvantaged Latino and African-American students on Chicago’s south side. Augustana’s education department has forged a productive partnership with Epic faculty over the past six years. Augustana students visit Epic Academy as they investigate issues and challenges associated with teaching in urban schools. Each spring, a group of 40-50 Epic juniors visit Augustana on a two-day trip to experience a liberal arts college. The visitors from Epic have opportunities to attend Augustana classes, meet with faculty and students, and attend special sessions sponsored by CORE, the Black Student Union and Latinos Unidos. As a result of this visit and the partnership, a number of Epic students have been accepted to Augustana over the past three years; many have ultimately enrolled at the college.
The following groups also have brought students to campus for a tour, meal, information session and/or event:
— Bethany for Children and Families
— City of Davenport Youth Corps
— Gear up Iowa

These alternative days of learning consistently include programming, workshops and content aimed at fostering a more diverse and inclusive campus community. Below are specific examples of how diverse perspectives are embedded in our Symposium Day schedule and programming:
a. Fall Symposium: Connects to Augie Reads text, which has emphasized ethnic diversity and inclusion in 2014 (The Round House), 2015 and again in 2016 (The Fire Next Time), and intentionally includes diversity in featured speakers and sessions.
b. Winter Symposium: 2017 Theme of Social Justice intentionally connects to the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Issues related to ethnic diversity are always included. Winter 2015 included a series of sessions on race in the classroom presented by students, the Center for Faculty Enrichment and an invited facilitator. Beginning in 2017, the college’s signature annual event in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. will occur on the actual holiday.
STEM grants for underrepresented students – In the fall of 2016 the college was awarded a $150,000 NSF grant to support students underrepresented in STEM fields. We also have submitted a pre-proposal for $1 million HHMI Inclusive Excellence grant to support building our capacity to effectively engage all students in science, especially those who come to college via nontraditional pathways.
First-generation programming – The Office of Academic Affairs has led the effort to develop specific support and mentoring efforts for first-generation Rising Scholars. Currently we are developing programming for throughout the 2016-17 academic year
Associated Colleges of Illinois (ACI) Peer Mentoring Program – Augustana is a recipient of a grant aimed at developing programming for first-generation college students from Chicago Public Schools. Peer mentors, who also frequently are from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, work with new students to serve as guides and mentors through the transition and first year of college. The ratio of student to peer mentor is five to one.
We have included heavy emphasis on diversity and inclusion as we seek to strengthen and further improve our community. Examples include:
a. All-Campus Retreat: “Building for Inclusive Excellence: Helping All Students Succeed” jump-started a much broader campus conversation about the importance of embracing and welcoming diversity throughout the entire community—both student body and employment workforce.
i. Shared relevant demographics at the retreat
ii. Sessions were led by Dr. Alma Clayton-Pedersen, a leading expert on building diverse and inclusive communities within higher education (session titles: “Building an inclusive college: Bringing quality, equity, access and opportunity together” and “Making a real difference with diversity: Guiding institutional change”)
b. Faculty Retreat: “Building for Inclusive Excellence; Helping All Students Succeed” featured a concurrent session, “Inclusion in the Classroom”.
c. Center for Faculty Enrichment Programming has a yearlong focus on building an inclusive classroom

Center for Inclusive Leadership and Equity – A new center focused on inclusive leadership and equity was developed in the summer and operationalized in the fall of 2016. Dr. Chris Whitt of the political science department heads the center; part of his responsibilities include advising the president and the cabinet about equity and inclusion issues. Plans are being made for hosting a Quad-Cities Diversity Summit.
Diversity statements – In spring of 2016, the President of the College developed a diversity statement, which subsequently received unanimous endorsement by the Board of Trustees and the faculty. A Diversity Initiative Committee is working towards creation and adoption of College-Wide Diversity and Inclusion Statement.
Student workers – Using the full benefits and resources in CORE, our offices advertise all open student worker positions through Augie Hub to reach all students who seek campus employment. Along with these efforts, our respective offices attempt to reach out specifically to campus resources within the Offices of Multicultural Student Life, and International Student Services, as well as organizations and groups on campus that may reach underrepresented populations (Gender Sexuality Alliance, Black Student Union, Multicultural Programming Board, Asian Student Organization, Latinos Unidos, etc.)
1-credit advising course – This pilot project is designed to provide time to develop a stronger advisor/advisee relationship during the first year, which is important for success and connection to the college. This strategy is aimed at improving persistence, which historically has been a greater problem among students from populations who are underrepresented at the college.
Starfish – Our early alert and student advising information system, Starfish, helps identify struggling students early so that we can intervene. Starfish improves communication among each student’s support network to provide multi-pronged support.
Institutional Research and Assessment Office (IR&A)
This office emphasizes dissemination of college data related to experience of non-majority students on campus, and shows the relationships between different demographic groups of students and their experiences and outcomes. The director writes about these findings in the Delicious Ambiguity blog and presents it at numerous public presentations.
In addition, IR&A has conducted multiple in-depth studies of students through interviews and focus groups to highlight how the Augustana experience can create barriers and marginalize students of color, and then presented those findings to faculty, staff and administrators.
IR&A also disaggregates survey data to help us understand how students from various backgrounds experience Augustana, which helps us prioritize programming and support to meet student needs.
Community Principles – The Office of Academic Affairs worked with campus stakeholders to Establish college-wide community principles as a building block to assert our values and build a sense of community centered on purpose, openness and respect, accountability, responsibility, and care. These principles emphasize the importance of respect and diversity.
Curriculum – Currently we are exploring ways to reimagine the D (Diversity) and G (Global) suffix as part of the core curriculum, and to focus on achieving intercultural competency as a learning outcome via curricular and co-curricular means.
Board and senior leadership
Trustees – As a follow-up to the 2016 board retreat, during which the trustees and senior leadership discussed diversity and inclusion in the context of first-person student testimonials, the president and the board began recruiting new trustees, with an eye toward greater diversity.
• In summer of 2016, the college welcomed eight new trustees, the most diverse group of new trustees in Augustana history, including three women, three persons of color and one LGBT trustee.
• The 2017 board retreat theme will be Campus Climate: Inclusion, Equity and Civility. An outside facilitator from Howard University has been invited.
• The board will receive reports on metrics to track success of inclusion efforts at Augustana.
Strategic planning – Augustana College will amend its Augustana 2020 Strategic Plan to add a fourth strategic direction focused on diversity, inclusion and equity. As is true of the first three, Strategic Direction IV will include specific strategies and measures for success.
• The Augustana 2020 fundraising campaign will include a Diversity and Inclusion Fund.
• In winter of 2016, senior leadership will develop implementation plans/tactics for the newly added diversity, inclusion and equity strategic direction in Augustana 2020.
• The president has announced, as a chair of the region’s strategic plan, diversity and inclusion as key elements of the Quad-Cities community strategic plan (including the goal of providing jobs and opportunities for area college students and graduates). | <urn:uuid:dd3aa826-1ebd-4c8b-b2d5-06a8455caa5d> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.augustana.edu/about-us/president/inventory | 2017-11-25T02:05:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934809229.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20171125013040-20171125033040-00474.warc.gz | en | 0.934223 | 5,490 | [

I've seen the dancing redneck video and yesterday I heard this song... and I couldn't help it, I had to make this :D
I just pimped the demo dude from PuppetTools a little... I was trying to animate it using Soundkeys, but it was impossible to isolate the sounds to make it well go with music... So I just threw some Animation Composer position effects... There are only 2 keyframes - the HUE for the background.
Music: Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch ...And I hope I'm not breaking the law with using this music (if so then I didn't make it!).

Here is an interesting Freedom of Information request submitted to them on 16th July 2009 by a Mr Thomas
Since the inception of Cheshire West and Chester Council
1) how many requests for information under the freedom of information act has the council received?
2) how many times has the council failed to respond within the statutory 20 day period?
Here is #QuackCWaC Council's response sent on the 13 August 2009 [my comments in blue]
Thank you for you recent request for information on FOI requests received.
Before providing the figures I would like to provide some background on the new authority and present some additional information which will give a better picture for the figures describe below.
As you may be aware on 1st April 2009 the seven council authorities in the Cheshire area were abolished and two new unitary authorities came into being; Cheshire West and Chester is the amalgamation of Chester City Council, Ellesmere Port and Neston Borough Council and Vale Royal Borough Council, Cheshire East is the amalgamation of Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council, Congleton Borough Council and Macclesfield Borough Council.
The above information is totally unnecessary because the requester clearly stated 'Since the inception of Cheshire West and Chester Council'
In light of this there have been substantial staffing and process changes with ongoing centralisation of tasks. This has resulted in a small period of time where responses were not always responded to within a timely fashion.
Essentially a bullshit excuse for breaking the law by not providing a Freedom of Information Act compliant response with the statutory 20 working day deadline.
The organisation has now put in place an appropriate process to make sure all requests are captured, recorded, assigned and dealt with under the terms of Freedom of Information legislation. In addition the new organisation recognises the importance of making sure requests are dealt with within relevant timescales.
The figures for Cheshire West and Chester can be broken down as follows :
2nd April to 17th June 88 requests received, 55 not answered within 20 days (69%)
17th June to 12th August 108 requests received 15 not answered within 20 days (14%)
They state in 2009 that they put in place an 'appropriate process to make sure all requests are captured, recorded, assigned and dealt with under the terms of Freedom of Information legislation.'
However, that can't be true because they are still breaking the law by failing to provide a Freedom of Information Act compliant response within 20 working days. Which means in 2009 they either lied to the requester when providing an FOI response or the appropriate process has been failing for the last 3 years and senior management have failed demonstrably to do anything about it.
Here are a few recent examples to prove my point, there are many more.
Staff/Employee clarification Payments by cheque Members' Allowances: Tax deducted at source
Read their 2009 response again 'a small period of time where responses were not always responded to within a timely fashion'
That small period of time has now turned into - 3 years - #quackfail
For more information please download #QuackCWaC FOI response times here. They look a lot worse than the 14% quoted in 2009, more like 48% to me. | <urn:uuid:0bc7b271-f9b2-4633-b3d7-c008979bb07a> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://bodgedroad.blogspot.com/2012/07/ | 2017-11-18T21:43:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805049.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118210145-20171118230145-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.961603 | 663 | [

One Missouri Military Academy senior will be suiting up as a student athlete when he attends college this fall. Nick Vanatta ’13, of Monkey Island, Okla., signed his commitment paperwork to play football for Northwestern Oklahoma State University.
Vanatta has been recruited as a wide receiver by the coaching staff of the Alva, Okla. college, where he is planning to major in criminology.
He built up an impressive collection of accomplishments this fall as a Fighting Colonel. Vanatta was named to the Missouri Class 3 District 6 First-Team All-District squad after his performance during district play. The honor was the culmination of a very complete season for Vanatta, who hauled in 31 catches for 514 yards and two scores in 2012. In addition to leading the team in total offense, he also recorded 36 tackles, 24 assisted tackles, and two interceptions on the defensive side of the football.
A versatile, two-way player, Vanatta was selected by head coach LT Marc Wilson as the team’s most valuable offensive player for the 2012 season.
“It’s been a pleasure to coach and mentor Nick,” Wilson said. “I’m excited to see him reach his potential both as an athlete and a young man at Northwestern under Coach [Alan] Hall.”
MMA coaches were not the only ones to notice his skills on the football field. Wilson accompanied Vanatta to Houston after he was selected to play in the 2012 Offense-Defense Can-Am All-American Bowl held in December. After participating in several camps leading up to the invitation, his offensive bursts and defensive prowess earned him a spot to play alongside the best high school players in the nation.
Athletic Director CPT John Noel was right there with Wilson and Vanatta as he carefully inked his signature on each document.
“Nick had not really played football until last season, but through hard work and determination both in the classroom and on the field, combined with the guidance of our football staff, Nick achieved his goal of playing football at the next level,” Noel said.
“We want to continue the tradition of putting our athletes in a position to achieve their highest potential, but more importantly the tradition of training our athletes to be great men, citizens, husbands, and fathers.”
Just two months later, Vanatta’s focus is now on conditioning for the fall.
“I’m excited to get started,” he said. “I’ll do training this spring and over the summer when I’m back in Oklahoma, but once August comes around I’ll have to really step up my game and work hard in camp.”
Vanatta was congratulated by his fellow cadets after the announcement was made at lunch Wednesday. | <urn:uuid:2d84f1e3-3eda-4112-88f5-982f30ee17f5> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://news.missourimilitaryacademy.org/tag/lt-marc-wilson/ | 2017-11-18T21:38:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805049.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118210145-20171118230145-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.984416 | 582 | [

Danny Willett wanted to give his season solid foundations before the upcoming birth of his first child – and victory in Dubai did just that.
After winning the Dubai Desert Classic on Sunday with a fearless performance, the Hackenthorpe golfer quickly flew home to be with pregnant wife Nicole.
With the baby due in the spring, Willett had targeted a strong start to the year to give his pushes for the Olympics and Ryder Cup a real grounding.
Winning the Dubai Desert Classic has moved him to 13th in the world rankings from 20th and saw him climb to third in the early European order of merit.
He has chosen to miss the Tshwane Open in South Africa this weekend, something he will repeat several times before his child is born.
While caring for his wife is his priority during time away from competition, the 28-year-old also puts plenty of work into his game.
“I had a good week back home before Dubai but sometimes it doesn’t quite carry forward,” Willett said.
“It was good to come because the feeling stayed really good and strong all week.
“I did some good work with the Callaway guys last week, just trying to get things really nailed on.
“It’s about having a really good push before Nic gives birth.”
Willett will return to action in the Maybank Championship in Malaysia next weekend before competing in the United States throughout March, culminating with the WGC Dell Matchplay in Austin, Texas.. | <urn:uuid:e9a7c347-761b-4c0e-b0e4-21925e5f97ea> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/golf/willett-lays-down-foundations-before-baby-s-arrival-1-7722111 | 2017-11-18T22:01:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934805049.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20171118210145-20171118230145-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.981692 | 317 | [

Ukrainian officials shut down BitTorrent tracker site Demonoid.com, following last week's DDoS attack that left the site temporarily shuttered, according to TorrentFreak.
Housed at ColoCALL, the largest data center in the Ukraine, all information from Demonoid's servers has been copied and sealed by investigators, an anonymous ColoCALL source told Ukrainian newspaper Kommersant. Some equipment was seized, though pieces left behind are no longer in working condition, causing the data center to end its agreement with Demonoid.
The site allegedly blocked all Ukrainian IP addresses, "to avoid upsetting the locals," TorrentFreak reported, therefore not circumventing the country's law. Still, it attracted the attention of the authorities, and the raid came shortly after the DDoS attack.
On July 26, more than a million Demonoid users realized they couldn't access the site, and were met with a "server busy" message, suggesting technical difficulties on the tracker's part, TorrentFreak reported last week.
When the news site contacted Demonoid two weeks ago, they were told that the tracker was overloaded by a DDoS attack, "which hit the server hard," TorrentFreak said, leaving a series of problems in its wake. The problems were expected to take some time to fix, leading to the Ukrainian officials' investigation.
Demonoid's takedown is the biggest BitTorrent-related raid in what TorrentFreak called recent memory, not to mention one that has knocked out one of the world's largest torrent tracker sites.
"Experts point out that the site has a lot of spare servers and the owners could easily restore it," the Ukrainian paper said, adding from its source that the nameless founder of Demonoid is currently located in Mexico, and that he or she could restore the site within 15 minutes.
"However, judging by the fact that the management of the site [has] not, most likely the tracker was closed forever," the ColoCALL staffer said.
Demonoid has been filed on the United States Trade Representative list, among notorious sites like The Pirate Bay and Megaupload.
Megaupload was shuttered this year for rampant copyright infringement, while The Pirate Bay has been blocked by various ISPs around the world. Last month, however, a report from the BBC found that the Pirate Bay blocking was not doing much to stop file-sharing in the U.K.

Demand for rental accommodation falls to two year low
In December, there were 26 prospective tenants registered per member branch. This is the lowest level since January 2015.
The number of rental properties managed per branch increased from 185 in November to 188 in December. Following last year’s increases in taxes for landlords, including stamp duty and capital gains tax, almost half (46 per cent) of agents expect to see supply decrease this year.
The number of letting agents witnessing rent increases went up to 19 per cent while a year previously, in December 2015, the number of rent rises fell month on month from 23 per cent in November 2015 to 18 per cent in December.
David Cox Managing Director, ARLA:
"Although December’s figures could indicate a bright future for renters, with the Government’s impending ban on letting agent fees, the future is actually rather bleak for the UK’s renters.
"Although we saw demand fall and supply rise slightly last month, these are in line with seasonal expectations and is what we expect to see in December. If the Government goes ahead with an outright ban on fees, tenants will unfortunately be the ultimate victims, as costs are recouped for the vital services fees cover." | <urn:uuid:55d9ffc7-4a89-4f96-8383-c5ac0b3b8013> | CC-MAIN-2017-47 | http://www.interlet.com/news/497/search?tags=shortlet&perpage=9&obc=Price&obd=Descending | 2017-11-20T11:39:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2017-47/segments/1510934806030.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20171120111550-20171120131550-00674.warc.gz | en | 0.947668 | 251 | [
