A nice website upgrade for the South Haven Speakers Series. New style, new flexibility with more advanced features. This is a very popular series which brings in quality speakers from local and national sources. The Speakers Series, like the Performance Series, was initiated by SHOUT. They are both now non-profits in their own right, presenting a number of very popular subjects and music. While folks may be technical enough to update their own websites, some do not like to spend the time and bother to do it. I offer web maintenance plans to keep your website up to date with an added fee each month. (based on hours needed)
Infosys Consulting Offices – Târgu Mureș HTO Architecture and Engineering partnered with Infosys Consulting to create their fluid and future-proofed work hub located in Târgu Mureș, Romania The challenge was to accommodate large collaborative areas into an open space with over 100 working stations, where people can interact but also can focus on their individual work. The blue palette scheme was inspired by the Infosys logo and it is in coordination with other colorful highlights that convey a feeling of openness to new opportunities in the company’s exciting development. The architects took advantage of the large flooring plan and combined multiple functions, in order to deliver an outstanding design for the entire space, including the closed meeting rooms and the sound-proofed informal booths. HTO team used geometry as a key instrument to integrate fine design elements into this office and, by mixing formal and informal areas , they have fulfilled the client’s requirements regarding authenticity, style and comfort. Balancing the connection between shape, rhythm and pattern, the vibrant floor finishes unlocked the creativity level, providing this space a dynamic vibe where employees and visitors can admire the kaleidoscope of colors, unfolding at their feet. In conclusion, HTO architects were focused on delivering a re-imagined workplace meant to create a flexible, multi-functional and collaborative “live-work” environment for INFOSYS OFFICES @ TARGU MURES, where every design feature fits perfectly and creates a unified whole under one roof. Design: HTO Architecture and Engineering Design Team: Ana Munteanu, Alexandru Apostol, Ana Georgescu, Andrei Rusu, George Nicu Photography: Sabin Prodan
Up to 96 on-street parking spots will be lost under a new City of Vancouver proposal for the 10th Ave. corridor project. Director of Transportation Lon LaClaire says the spots will be removed to make way for upgrades to the busy road. The controversial project, which is in its third phase of consultation, was discussed at City Hall Monday. READ MORE: Potential separated bike lane near VGH has city councillor concerned “We’ve heard a lot of concern around access to the health facilities in the area and the other big issue we’ve been hearing is the issue around vehicle access and parking. In the proposals that we have right now, we actually have some significant new construction of parking and some expansion of the passenger zones.” But LaClaire says one of the ways to combat those concerns is to open a parking lot. “We’re proposing to build a new surface city parking lot at the corner of Ash and 10th. That would create 112 new parking spaces, there will be some reductions along 10th Avenue itself.” READ MORE: Vancouver mulls changes to 10th Ave bikeway 96 parking spaces would have to be removed from the area, but with the new parking lot, LaClaire says there will be an extra 20 spaces in total. “We’re trying to make it more convenient and accessible for people to get right to the front door of the facitilies.” Open houses will take place at the end of the month, where the public can learn more about the proposals.

Ghost signs Photography can be many different things but one of its central roles is to sell products. Stroll through any major city and it seems as though every surface is plastered with a photograph forming part of an advertisement. Yet there was a time when this was not so, a time when advertisements were often in the form of text, signs created by craftsmen. If you look closely you can still see the remnants of those times, and Tom Bland has been doing just that, using his camera to preserve the past in the present. Tom's parents are graphic designers and he remembers growing up surrounded by large drawing boards, kappa board and Letraset and that is what inspired him to take these pictures. In his notes Tom outlines the project: a contemporary designer or illustrator sometimes emulate in their graphic design software." Some of the shots are straight full frame pictures of the sign and this is something he likes, yet for me some of those that offer scale are the most effective. Here's a selection of Tom's photographs in the set. You can see more of Tom's work on his website. Inevitably one thinks of the work of Walker Evans who often incorporated text within the frame, though for very different reasons and this is something I will blog on in the near future having recently paid a visit to New Orleans where he worked for a while. If you have a project you'd like to share with me then please e-mail me [email protected] The history of advertising trust is a registered charity that hosts a UK based collection and a project documented at contributions welcome. One of the sad features of the Indian street scene (and many others) is that even recently produced hand painted signs are disappearing to be replaced with mass produced corporate advertising and standardised lettering. Complain about this comment Some US cities also have ghost signs. I took picture of several in Toledo, Ohio, an old (by US standards) industrial city that's declined over recent decades (the decline helps, as buildings with ghost signs don't get torn down for new developments): Complain about this comment This is uncanny really, on the way into work this morning I noticed on the side of a building i pass most days that the old sign was becoming more visible, I was trying to make it out as I drove past. I had also noticed on the seafront where I live a building under renovation with an old faded sign coming through and began to think it would make a good photo project - obviously Tom Bland was a step or two ahead of me ! Complain about this comment There are a couple of ghost signs that I pass regularly that fascinate me. One for Coca Cola that doesn't look as "corporate" as modern advertising: There is another for India Tyres a few miles from this that until recently was covered by a modern billboard. I fear that the derelict row of early 20th century terraced housing it belongs to will soon be demolished to build a large supermarket. I find all things from the early to mid 20th century fascinating, be it advertising, architecture, everyday objects etc. they have a certain quality to them that the modern mass produced corporate world seems to be missing, with it's cold surgical profit-oriented efficiency. Complain about this comment Super! Here's one near me, which I always admire while cycling past: Complain about this comment Will the BBC be taking pains to promote other folk as well? Or only Tom Whatsit? It's such a shame that not everyone can see the value of these old signs. This small one around the corner of where I used to live in Amsterdam still looked great last time I passed it... not anymore: Complain about this comment Complain about this comment Not sure what happened at No 10 - then that is no different from normal activities there! What I had said was that I was talking about these signs with a friend whilst at Kensal Green at the weekend so somewhat of a pleasant surprise to see this. We found a nice one just off the Harrow Road and can't for the life of me remember what it was for - pretty sure it was garage? A very worthy project!

With the passing of an inspirational woman. A woman I had read many times and not realized it was her words. A woman who ailed me when I found no console. A woman who inspired thoughts and courage and incouraged without me ever realizing it was she who spoke those marvelous words. I have decided to not let my words shine through my blog this time, but to rather share some of the marvels that have spoken to many and many times to my self. So through this wonderful, wise woman's words, I hope to inspire, console, empower you. RIP Maya Angelou -Andrea
This weekend is Memorial Day weekend, and many people will be celebrating the long holiday. Memorial Day is more than just another day off; it is a day to celebrate and remember our fallen heroes. This day of remembrance occurs on the last Monday of May each year in honor of U.S. military personnel who have died during military service. As you spend time with your loved ones, light your grills, have picnics, parties, and whatever else it is that you do to celebrate, take a moment to reflect on the purpose of Memorial Day. Our military fulfill their civic duty and responsibility, as well as, take pride in making the United States of America and the world a better place. Yoakum County may not have a military base or a town filled with military personnel, but we do have civic minded individuals and many civic clubs and organizations that allow individuals to volunteer and give back to the community. As a nation we are required to uphold our civic duty as required by law; however, our civic responsibility is what is considered to be a socially good behavior to perform, such as voting in elections, signing up for the military, volunteering in the community, participating in government politics, and holding public office. Actions of civic responsibility can be displayed in advocacy for various causes, such as political, economic, civil, environmental, religious, and quality of life issues.. Volunteering is a form of civic responsibility, which involves the giving of time or labor without the expectation of monetary compensation. Many people volunteer through local churches, animal shelters and food banks. Volunteering allows citizens the opportunity to share their skills, talents, and passions as well as the ability to learn new skills while helping those in need of assistance. In Yoakum County we have a large list of civic groups, clubs, and organizations. Some of those groups, clubs and organizations are as follows: Yoakum County 4-H Girl Scouts – Troop #6433 Boy Scouts – Pack 0767 Yoakum County Connection Lions Club Rotary Club Yoakum County Art Club Xi Iota Delta Tejas Study Group Masonic Lodge Yoakum County Heritage & Art Museum Yoakum County Historical Commission Tsa Mo Ga Operation Blessing Food Pantry Angel Food Ministries American Red Cross Jaycee's JEWELS & GEMS Yoakum County Cemetery Association 862 Seminole Garden Club United Way Yoakum County Hospital Foundation Pink Ladies Yoakum County Family Services Inc. Family 2 Family Ministries Yoakum County Golf Club Yoakum County Senior Citizens Association Inc. South Plains Community Action Christian Motorcycle Association The list does not end there. Yoakum County is full of non-profit organizations, volunteers, and more. If you feel yourself falling short in your civic responsibilities, you do not have to look far to find what speaks to you. What are you passionate about? Then find a group and offer up your time and serve the community. In honor of the upcoming Memorial Day, we would like to thank or active military personnel, our veterans, and those we have lost and are left to remember. We would also like to thank all of our first responders, volunteers, and our local civic groups, clubs and organizations for all that you do to make our community a better place. Thanks to these civic minded individuals in Yoakum County, we are able grow, move forward, and take pride in our community.
Up Bank will offer home loans, four years after the launch of the neobank From digital bank to now digital lender, Up Bank has opened expressions of interest for homeowners looking to refinance their home loan. As the number of Aussies seeking refinance in the wake of rising interest rates continues to rise, Bendigo-backed Up Bank has announced the launch of ‘Up Home’. Initially open to expressions of interest only for homeowner refinancing, Up Home will offer variable and fixed home loan options. Currently, the Up Home Variable Rate Loan offers a variable interest rate of 3.45% per annum (comparator rate of 3.45% per annum). For customers wishing to refinance with a fixed rate loan, Up Home fixed term loans offer fixed interest rates from one to five years, with a one-year rate of 5.10% per annum (comparative rate of 3.60% per year). Homeowners looking to refinance an Up home loan will need to be an Up Bank customer, also known as an “Upsider”. Additionally, Up Bank notes that if you are looking to take out a loan with another person, you will need to have a 2Up account through Up Bank. Allowing refinancing only has been a popular route for emerging lenders, with Unloan and OneTwo launching only a few months ago, while Nano only started allowing new loans in March. Up CEO Xavier Shay said Upsiders love the Up app and don’t want to go back in their banking experience just to get a home loan. “So for us the right time to launch Up Home was as soon as we could make it a reality,” Mr Shay told Savings.com.au. “As rate pressure looms large on people’s minds, we believe Up’s built-in insights and savings features will make Up Home truly appealing.” Calling itself a simple loan for homeowners, Up Home will provide customers with access to over 50 free clearing accounts and free withdrawal facilities. Plus, Up Home will allow customers to get started with as little as 10% down, with unlimited additional repayments on a variable rate home loan or up to $30,000 on a fixed rate home loan. “Most of our customers are between 16 and 25 years old,” Shay said. “Actually, getting a home loan might take a while, but there are a lot of things they can do to save and learn now. “We’ve created a savings product that will help them save and walk them through the home loan journey to help them successfully manage what will likely be the biggest financial decision they’ll ever make.” Hospitality expenses Up Home is a free digital product from Up Bank, which means Up Bank customers or Upsiders looking to refinance will not pay any application or setup fees, discharge fees, monthly or annual bank fees. Up Bank will pay the first $400 appraisal fee, which it says will cover most properties. Home Eligibility Currently, Up Home is only accepting expressions of interest from homeowners looking to refinance home loans up to $10 million and up to 90% of the property value. To be eligible for an Up Home loan, the following conditions must be met: - All applicants must be over 18 years old. - You hold eligible ID – a valid Australian state/territory driving license or Australian passport. - All borrowers on the loan application have good credit histories that comply with Up’s policies. - You are applying alone or with another Upsider – if you are applying with someone else, they must have a 2Up account. - You receive a regular income and are able to provide acceptable documents to verify your income and expenses, eg payslips, bank statements. - You refinance an existing mortgage to live there. - The loan will be 90% or less of the value of the property and is between $50,000 and $10,000,000. Advertising Looking to refinance? The table below shows home loans with some of the lowest interest rates on the market for homeowners. - Already includes July RBA rate increase - Fast turnaround times, can meet 30 day settlement - For purchase and refinancing, down payment min 20% - No ongoing or monthly fees, add 0.10% compensation July 20, 2022.

SGI biz still kinda lumpy But getting smoother When Rackable Systems bought defunct supercomputer maker Silicon Graphics and took its name last year, it got a radically expanded customer base and a shot at evening out its own lumpy business among hyperscale Internet companies with SGI's equally bumpy HPC business. The idea - and it may prove to be a sound one in the long run - is that lumpy and bumpy can run smoother. But that hasn't happened quite yet, as SGI's financial results for its most recent quarter show. SGI reported its numbers for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended December 25, and clearly, the deal was good for the revenue stream for the Rackable Systems part of the company, but the profits - or lack thereof - are about the same. There is still a lot of red ink. But the company is getting into position to benefit from the rollout of new server processors in the next several months, and it's also going to change the way it recognizes revenue in fiscal 2011 so more of its sales and profits hit the books instead of being deferred for extended periods of time. In the quarter, SGI had revenues of $94.1m, more than double the $38.8m that Rackable Systems posted all by its lonesome. The law doesn't require merged companies to merge their financials, so we don't know how this compares to SGI plus Rackable for the same thirteen weeks. But according to Jim White, SGI's chief financial officer who spoke to Wall Street analysts, post-acquisition SGI has reduced the combined operating expenses (on a non-GAAP basis, mind you) by 39 per cent. In the first fiscal quarter ended in September 2009, SGI consolidated the headquarters and manufacturing operations of the two companies, and in the second fiscal quarter, the company's IT systems were merged onto a single Oracle applications suite. (Presumably running on Rackable's own servers and storage). Despite all that progress on revenues, cost of operations still exceeded the revenues booked in the quarter, and even after a $4.5m tax benefit, SGI still booked a loss of $23m, 18 per cent more red ink than the standalone Rackable Systems did in the year ago quarter and 31 per cent more red ink than the combined SGI-Rackable posted (a $17.6m loss) in the first fiscal quarter ended in September, when the company had $1001.m in revenues. Because SGI has to wait for HPC systems to be qualified before it can book the revenue and has to recognize the revenue over the term of multi-year contracts, SGI has been providing non-GAAP revenue figures in recent quarters to show that the business is not as bad off as these numbers make it seem. On a non-GAAP basis, SGI actually had $151.5m in revenues in the second fiscal quarter and had a $2.4m net income. This was much better than the $122.7m non-GAAP revenue in the September quarter when SGI reported a $3.4m non-GAAP loss. In the quarter, server sales to cloud and Internet service providers were only 16 per cent of SGI's total sales, compared to 30 per cent last quarter. Only one company represented more than 10 per cent of sales, but SGI is not divulging who that customer is until it files its 10K report to the Securities and Exchange Commission. (Last quarter, online retailer Amazon represented more than 10 per cent of SGI's revenues, and it is very likely it was Amazon this time around too). "The company has clearly made progress in diversifying the business," said Mark Barrenechea, president and chief executive officer at SGI, in the call. He reminded Wall Street that it wasn't that long ago that Rackable minus SGI was generating as much as 60 per cent of its quarterly sales from a few customers in a small handful of industries. The combination of new products, like the Altix UV supers due later this year, and a slew of new server chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices has SGI and its channel partners geared up to attack a dozen industries where the company thinks it can get traction against IBM, Oracle, Hewlett-Packard, and Dell. Barrenechea says that the improving economy, the server upgrade cycle, and the normal seasonality that pushes deals towards the end of a calendar year will all help lift SGI's sales in fiscal 2010, and he reiterated that SGI still believed it could hit $500m in sales. The company believes that it can push services, which accounted for 27 per cent of revenues in fiscal Q2, to around half of the company's revenues each quarter, although Barrenechea did not put a time frame on that. He did say that this would be accomplished by pushing more support and field services and by peddling a lot more professional services. Barrenechea added that the company also has high hopes for its storage business, which accounted for 16 per cent of revenues in fiscal Q2 and which SGI says it can push up to 30 per cent of sales over the next three years thanks to direct sales of its homegrown InfiniteStorage products as well as other storage sold in conjunction with partners such as NetApp and LSI. "I feel more and more confident in our position in the market," Barrenechea said. Dell is a commodity server maker, and IBM has its niches, he explained. HP is more focused on software and services as it is doing battle with server upstart Cisco Systems, and Oracle, now that it has eaten Sun Microsystems, is focused on tuning Sun's systems to run Oracle's software stack. "That's a good strategy for Oracle, but that is leaving a door open for us to be a provider of open compute." That door may have only a tiny crack in it, and it will likely need a strong toe to open it further. If SGI's HPC business gets traction with the Altix UV supers and they start making real money, that could be a whole foot in the door of the data center. That's a lot of "ifs" to be sure, and a delay by Intel in delivering the Nehalem-EX Xeon-style chips used in the Altix UV supers could be as severely detrimental to SGI as the continuing delays in delivering Itanium processors was for SGI over the past decade. SGI may yet learn to source x64 processors from both Intel and AMD, as HPC rival Cray has done. ®

Use Film Canisters to Soothe Mosquito Bites4 Share Tweet It’s mosquito season and I’m starting to itch already! Be prepared and have these in your fridge for instant relief! No matter how much it makes sense in our head, scratching an itch from a mosquito bite is never the right thing to do. What you can do instead is to ice it up to soothe the itchiness. It’s hard to handle individual ice cubes though, so you can do this instead: Materials: - Film canister - Water - Freezer Instructions: - Fill the canister 3/4. This is to give space for its expansion - Freeze it - When you nee to use it, run a bit of water on it and just pop it out with your fingers!

Every be a great way to get in a heart-pumping workout without worrying too much about injuries. Effects of low-impact, moderate-intensity exercise training with and without wrist weights on functional capacities and mood states in older adults. Engels HJ, Drouin J, Zhu W. Gerontology, 1998, Sep.;44(4):0304-324X. Impact and overuse injuries in runners. Hreljac A. Medicine and science in sports and exercise, 2004, Sep.;36(5):0195-9131. Physical activity at leisure and risk of osteoarthritis. Lane NE. Annals of the rheumatic diseases, 1996, Dec.;55(9):0003-4967. Most trainers define low-impact as any exercise where one foot stays on the ground at all times. But rather than doing single-leg dead lifts until keeling over, we rounded up 21 low- (or no!) impact exercises worth trying: 1. Walking Walking is a stress-free way to get moving. If taking a lesiurely stroll is too easy, there are plenty of ways to add intensity: Hit the hills or add weights (try dumbbells or ankle weights) to really get that heart rate up. Intensity and energy cost of weighted walking vs. running for men and women. Miller JF, Stamford BA. Journal of applied physiology (Bethesda, Md. : 1985), 1987, Jul.;62(4):8750-7587.. Muscle Forces or Gravity: What Predominates Mechanical Loading on Bone? Kohrt, W.M., Barry, D.W., et al. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise. 2011 Feb 10. . 6. Rowing Here's a super-easy way to get in some cardio while also pretending that you're soaking up some sun on a boat. Of course, the florescent lights in the gym eventually snap you back to reality. But at least you'll be working out your arms, back, legs, and core. (Give this 30-minute rowing workout a go.) Score! 7. Kayaking Want to actually hit the water? Grab a kayak and jump in (or maybe don't jump in, if you want to stay dry)! Kayaking works your arms and core (no crunches necessary), and you can see some stellar sights along the way. 8. Tai Chi This gentle, fluid movement improves flexibility and may even ward off headaches. A randomized controlled trial of tai chi for tension headaches. Abbott RB, Hui KK, Hays RD. Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2006, Aug.;4(1):1741-427X. (Whether that includes hangover headaches is unclear.) 9. Hiking Looking to upgrade your walks? Take a hike! To keep things low impact, start with low-grade terrain. Save climbing Everest for later. 10. Rock climbing Climbing requires slow, controlled movements, which means your muscles get a serious workout without the added strain. Functional ankle control of rock climbers. Schweizer A, Bircher HP, Kaelin X. British journal of sports medicine, 2005, Jul.;39(7):1473-0480. 11. Yoga The ancient practice will have you feeling the burn without feeling the pain. So add some downward dogs and half moons to your fitness routine. Or try aerial yoga to really take your practice to new heights. 12. Pilates You aren't going to get a strong core by doing crunches all day long. Try Pilates instead—plus, you'll seriously improve your flexibility without putting too much strain on your joints. 13. TRX TRX gets its name because it lets users do total-body resistance exercises using a strap suspension system (say that three times fast). The workout is easy on your joints but challenging for the rest of your body. Once you learn the ropes, see if you can master these 45 TRX exercises. 14. Swimming Skip the inner tubes and start doing laps. Swimming is a great low-impact exercise with a boatload of benefits, from strengthening your shoulders to improving lung function. Effects of weight bearing and non-weight bearing exercises on bone properties using calcaneal quantitative ultrasound. Yung PS, Lai YM, Tung PY. British journal of sports medicine, 2005, Aug.;39(8):1473-0480. 15. Water aerobics If swimming laps gets repetitive, bring aerobics class to the pool. Some gyms even offer underwater treadmills to really keep things interesting. (We may want to rethink calling them "dreadmills.") 16. Snowshoeing For a different kind of walk in the park, strap on a pair of snowshoes. Walking on snow—like walking on sand—is more of a workout than walking on pavement. And it's still tame on your body. The energy expenditure of snowshoeing in packed vs. unpacked snow at low-level walking speeds. Connolly DA. Journal of strength and conditioning research, 2003, Mar.;16(4):1064-8011. 17. Step aerobics For a good cardio workout without all the pounding, science suggests signing up for a step aerobic class.. Researchers found an hour of step aerobics gives you the same workout as a mid-distance run. 18. Ballroom dancing Take a tip from Dancing With the Stars. Not only is dancing super sexy, it’s often gentle on the body. The metabolic cost of two ranges of arm position height with and without hand weights during low impact aerobic dance. Carroll MW, Otto RM, Wygand J. Research quarterly for exercise and sport, 1992, Mar.;62(4):0270-1367. So go grab a partner and give those dips, twists, and twirls a try. 19. Rollerblading Let’s take a trip back to the '90s and strap on some Rollerblades. Gliding on pavement puts less stress on your limbs. 21. Golf Now, now—golf isn’t just for the pros (or the retired). Take a trip to the fairway and get swinging. Bonus points for skipping the golf cart and walking the course! Originally posted April 2012. Updated March 2017.
The. Saturday, July 26, 2008 Off to Dallas The team is on its way to Dallas with a full squad for Sunday's game (live on FSN West) and Monday morning's reserve game. 2 comments: Good WINTG feature, guys... Thanks! It's very good to put a face and a voice with our most recent trialist, Mandou Bojang. I hope he will practice, train, perform, and understand our organization very well. We could really use a strong, fast, pacy, excellent marking central defender. It's good to see Sean Franklin back in practice, again - YES! It's also good to hear that BOTH Charles Alamo and Josh Wicks are back outside doing exercises and drills with Armando & Ian. I want to wish our LA Galaxy squad and reserves lots of fun, luck, and excellence. I know FC Dallas is very much itching and desperately hoping to beat us. I hope it doesn't happen... But, I just cannot say yet... I need to see how our defense holds up... and, how our midfield will perform in that environment and heat!!! I hope we get close to a score as we did last time - That would be awesome... but, I'm just not sure about what's going through the bodies and minds of our team. To win takes strong, hardcore desire to be relentless, bold, crafty, and fast... without those attributes - our team will just end up having a good performance in one-half... and, just getting smoked and dusted in another half. Our LA Galaxy team really needs to make it a strong, strong priority to start decidedly and clearly winning more games - to put some good amount of point separation between LA Galaxy and the rest in the west.

MobileMe account get 60-day extension So it may not have apologised publicly as such, but Apple is holding out the olive branch to customers affected by the MobileMe disaster. It gave out 30 days free last month to all MobileMe users, but now is offering a further 60 days, perhaps reflecting the fact that the service is still not glitch-free. In an email to MobileMe subscribers, it says: "We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make". "To recognise?
Tehuti Miles, a running back-wide-receiver-defensive back who served as an Army specialist in Afghanistan, recently worked out at Maryland's walk-on football tryouts. A New York Daily News profile in 2010 described Miles' service as a 19-year-old. "Using binoculars, night-vision goggles and a thermal imaging scope that detects warm things like people and animals, Miles protected his tiny 26-man unit as they slept or played dominos," the article said. The article quoted Miles talking about his feelings about the Taliban. "I wish we could drop more bombs," Miles said in the article. "We really don't like these people. They've really gotten to us." Miles is likely to be a scout team player who won't play in games. Maryland typically does not make players available to the media until they participate in a game, but the media will certainly make requests to interview Miles, who is from Hammonton, N.J. Miles, who wears No. 85, was found in the sort of walk-on tryout that the team periodically holds. "He's kind of a skill guy -- running back, wide receiver, defensive back," Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. "He's been good -- he's helped us. He's a good kid. I talked to him on the field a little bit."
Sometimes it is just so darn easy for me to decide to tune out. Like when its 2:48pm, dada isnt due home until 6, I have no idea what to make for dinner, the kiddos are arguing in the background, and I sit down to blog, ignoring it all. (WHO ME? DO THAT? RIGHT NOW? Yes. Fine. Yes.) So, a pep talk for myself. No amount of chocolate or coffee can do this. This is a head game. This is me needing to reengage. Get in there mama! Get back in the game! But. But. But. I slept like crap last night. The kids sniffles have turned into coughs and now I have it too. Blech. We tried to go outside but it was windy and cold. And the fresh foot of snow was whipping around us like icy confetti. And we gave up and came in. And now they are wandering around the house, baby is going up to random baskets and shelves and tossing things on the floor, you know, what she does. (So delightful) And little miss is hanging out in the chair making random toys talk to each other. Baby is now at my knee, "UP, baby, UP, baby." (She refers to herself as "green" or baby these days, ha!) And you know the solution (as I come back to type an hour later)? It is simple. Get UP and KEEP MOVING. Do not stop moving. Eventually you will get it all done. Or it will be bedtime and they will go to sleep. Eventually. And then you can stop. With a glass of wine. Or a mug of tea. And now. To keep moving. Here is hoping you keep it moving too mommies.... And get your glass of wine tonight... And then tomorrow. WE DO IT AGAIN! Happy Monday! Monday, February 11, 2013 yes - one long day after another - and they all add up to a life well attended to and babies become grown ups, and you still hear the exasperated 'oh, mom!' but it is the BEST THING YOU WILL EVER DO!! its just so hard to see that from the side you are on... :) carry on June!!! red or white? this comment made me so happy to read. big hugs friend. :)
Google vs Russia Who will win? In the words of Harry Hill ‘There’s one one way to find out’… In the loop: do you believe the hype? The row over the HS2 rail project is speeding on, with both sides shifting their arguments into top gear. The high-speed train project is on track to link London with Birmingham and eventually Manchester and Leeds, and will, according to a new report presented by transport secretary Patrick McLoughlin, boost the UK economy by £15bn a year. But critics say that the environment will suffer and that the economic benefits have been overestimated, with director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs calling the project a “colossal waste of money”. HS2 will cut through the countryside at speeds of up to 250mph, potentially reducing the journey between London and Edinburgh to a mere three and a half hours. But as the row rumbles on like the Runaway Train, proposals on the other side of the Atlantic are making HS2 technology look rather like that of a slow-moving tractor on a narrow country lane. Elon Musk, the US-based billionaire entrepreneur who co-founded PayPal and is said to be the inspiration behind Robert Downey Jnr’s performance in the Iron Man films, has unveiled the concept for his near-supersonic Hyperloop. Intended to link Los Angeles and San Francisco in just 30 minutes, the transport would shoot passenger-carrying capsules through a long tube at speeds of up to 760mph – almost the speed of sound. The Californian route would be elevated via supporting columns designed to withstand earthquakes and one trip would cost about $20, or £13. Sadly, Mr Musk doesn’t have time to develop the Hyperloop at the moment, as he is too busy with other technological matters such as his commercial space project SpaceX. So until someone else finds the necessary estimated £6bn and makes a start, we will just have to imagine what it might be like to zoom between two cities 380 miles apart in half an hour (the journey currently takes twice this time by plane and six hours by car). According to Mr Musk, it will be a bit like ‘getting a ride on Space Mountain at Disneyland’, with a G-force no greater than that of a sports car. Sounds better to us than catching the local bus, at any rate! End of the line for dial-up internet The plug has been pulled on dial-up internet access by telecoms provider BT. The company switched off the service on September 1 as only a ‘tiny number’ of its customers were still going online via dial-up – compared to almost seven million BT customers who use broadband. Many of those affected will now migrate to broadband, although this isn’t available in remote and rural parts of the UK due to the difficulty of extending the network to these areas. But BT has promised that no one will be left offline, as all former dial-up customers will be offered alternative services through its subsidiary Plusnet. In the early days of the internet, most homes and businesses relied on dial-up - or narrowband - which establishes a connection via a telephone line and a modem. But, unless a second phone line is available, users cannot work online and receive calls at the same time. In addition, the speed of the connection, which is measured in kilobytes, can be slow. In the last decade or so, millions of customers have switched to broadband, which works independently of the phone line, allowing calls to come through. It is also faster, with bandwidth increasingly measured in megabytes, rather than kilobytes, per second. The greater the bandwidth, the faster the traffic passing from the internet to your computer and back. According to Ofcom, less than a million people in Britain were still using dial-up in 2010. And although more recent figures are not available, that figure is estimated to have dropped even further since then, to just a few hundred thousand. It’s easy to see why, when technology is moving so rapidly. The internet has changed dramatically in just a couple of decades, with cloud computing transforming the way we work and store information online and with mobile devices allowing us to access information almost anywhere, from cafes to the countryside. So as we wave goodbye to dial-up, few will really miss it – although we’ll remember those solid, flashing modems through the rose-tinted haze of nostalgia! The Internet of Things Imagine your fridge downloading recipes and ordering the ingredients with which to make them, or your car alerting emergency services if it’s involved in a collision. If you think these sound like far-fetched inventions better suited to Back to the Future, then you might be in for a surprise! Intelligent fridges and cars wirelessly connected to the Internet are just two examples of the everyday objects that could enhance your life. At the recent Future of Wireless International Conference in Cambridge, the theme was the ‘Internet of Things’, with the focus on how our lives could be transformed if physical objects were connected to the Cloud. We now have the ability to capture huge levels of information; this information previously existed but couldn’t be documented to the extent it now is. And applying that data to countless products could have an astonishing impact on the way we live, work and socialise. Some areas of our lives have already been completely transformed by technology. In the 1990s most of us managed perfectly fine without mobile phones, yet just two decades later more than six billion people – 85% of the world’s population - own one. Similarly, the Internet was in its infancy at the end of the 20th century, yet it now makes our home, work and personal lives smoother and faster on a daily basis. But just as we get to grips with advances such as social media and big data, we’re already on the verge of the next revolution. In the future, experts predict that 50 billion objects, from coffee machines to farming equipment, will be wirelessly interconnected. It could mean the ability to turn on the heating before we get back from work, or to monitor the security of our homes from the other side of the world. With the computerisation of cars and domestic appliances already commonplace, these possibilities seem plausibly near. With the benefits brought by the Internet of Things, of course, come the pitfalls. If machines are connected to other machines, how will hacking be prevented? How will the collection of big data be properly monitored? And there are still big leaps to be made in technology, including better bandwidth capacity and low-power transmission. The potential problems are certainly daunting, yet the possibilities are tremendously exciting and already starting to happen. So next time you get home from the supermarket and realise you’ve forgotten the milk, don’t worry – your fridge could soon have it all under control! Fairhill are marked as the IT crowd to be trusted! Web designers and developers at Fairhill Online are celebrating after being awarded a prestigious IT trustmark.

Following the presentation of the award at a CompTIA conference at Cardiff’s Village Hotel, Fairhill can now use the Trustmark logo and access other benefits for recipients. Managing Director Phil Stephens said: “To earn the CompTIA IT Business Trustmark we had to complete a self-assessment about how we work, our business processes and how we engage with third parties and customers. We also had to provide three customer references. The self-assessment was then evaluated by an independent assessor, who visited our office in Taffs Well to ask us further questions. Some were quite challenging but it was an excellent way of seeing what we are getting right and what we can do even better. “We are delighted to have been awarded with the Trustmark, as we feel it reflects the attention we pay to customer needs and the high levels of service we continually aim to provide.” Fairhill Online is based in Taffs Well and specialises in web design, e-commerce, bespoke development and SEO.

Starting up a new business is exciting – but there can be so many daunting decisions to make! One of the essential things to get right is the technology. With customer details to store and data protection legislation to comply to, you need to be assured that your technology is secure and… Why your business needs a social media policy Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+… it seems every week we’re told about a new social media platform that we simply can’t afford to ignore. There is no doubt that your business needs social media. Social media sites allow you to build a strong brand identity and engage effectively and immediately with customers and potential clients. Facebook has more than one billion users around the globe, including more than 30m in the UK, whilst 10m people in the UK alone use Twitter. With such a ready-made audience and the ability to advertise for free, any business would be unwise to ignore the benefits social media brings. With the pros, however, come the potential pitfalls. Tweeting, blogging and posting are great ways of raising your profile and making contacts your business would not otherwise reach, but social media could also damage your brand irreparably if you don’t do it properly. The very fact that social sites are so informal is one of the problems. Chatty and intimate by definition, they make it easy to forget professionalism and become too personal. And millions of users are unsure of the legalities around what can and can’t be published, resulting in a number of high profile cases where people have been prosecuted and even jailed for defamatory comments. Whether your company has one social media exec or a whole team, it’s important that everyone is aware of what is and isn’t acceptable. It’s probable that most members of staff are using Facebook and Twitter in a personal capacity already, so they might need a gentle reminder that there are different boundaries with business accounts. The tone might be a little more reserved and users should ask themselves if all updates fit in with brand identity. Employees also need to know how to respond if a disgruntled customer complains or leaves negative feedback on a public site. Many businesses have a standard line saying they are sorry to read the comment and inviting the customer to get in touch using a specified email address or phone number. It is usually not a good idea to get into long, detailed discussions about complaints on public forums; although this has worked to the advantage of one or two large companies, it doesn’t work for everyone! A social media policy is therefore a good idea, not only to protect the business but to give members of staff greater confidence to do their job well. The policy does not have to be long or full of complicated jargon; but rather a list of what is and isn’t acceptable. It might include points such as not sharing confidential details about the business or its customers, or not substituting personal views for the business message. Asking a lawyer to check the policy could be a good investment – especially if it avoids your company being taken to court over careless updates! How journalists access the Internet in a war zone Very few of us would want to go into a war zone but, in addition to the armed forces doing just that, a dedicated and determined group put themselves in danger each day. The journalists who bring us stories from war-torn countries such as Syria and Afghanistan do so at some risk. And in addition to the very real dangers of bullets and explosions, there are plenty of difficulties in doing their job, not least in the logistics of sending images and stories around the world. Telecommunications infrastructures can be fragile when caught in the crossfire, and journalists need a reliable means of filing stories quickly. As a result many use global satellite Internet network Broadband Global Area Network (BGAN), which uses portable terminals capable of connecting a laptop to the internet in remote places. BGAN’s advantage is that its terminals are portable and about the same size as a laptop, unlike other satellite services which can only connect via heavy and large dishes. With BGAN, journalists can file copy and photos from the scene instead of having to get to the nearest town with a broadband connection. There is no need to rely on local telecoms, meaning that the news can still get through if the local infrastructure has been damaged by war. Journalists are not the only people to rely on non-local satellite systems. Hospitals and clinics in war zones depend on the Internet to order supplies and consult medical experts in other locations, and some are turning to BGAN to create emergency networks in order to save lives. These days, having your head in the clouds is a good thing. The new buzzword in the Internet evolution, cloud computing is transforming the way many businesses operate – no wonder its popularity is sky-high!

This week Cosmo baked his first loaf of bread and his first ever cake from scratch, following a recipe and measuring all the ingredients (age 3 years 5 months). I obviously helped with the oven and holding the bowl still whilst he vigorously mixed it, but both the bread and the cake turned out to be totally edible, and two people have asked for the cake recipe as it was so good! [You can find it here] He also learnt to use a calculator. He loves maths, but I'd never shown him one as I thought it was best if he learnt the concept of times tables etc using old fashioned lego bricks to work out the answers. However, this week his addition and subtraction have become much faster and more accurate, and his times tables are really improving. My mum thought it would be fun to show him what a calculator does. Would you believe this is his new favourite toy? He has even taken it to bed with him instead of a book! The most exciting part for him is that he can now work out sums including numbers up to 9999 (he understands four place values thanks to more.starfall) where previously he only worked in figures up to around 30 (running out of lego blocks, plus attention span!) but the calculator always gives him a fast, accurate result. He's still not happy about the idea of division. I think we need to work on the concept with the lego bricks a bit more, but he's confident with multiplication, addition and subtraction, which I've got to be honest, I never expected him to be at this age. I've frankly been stunned by how easy this has been so far. I thought teaching concepts in things like maths would be very difficult and I wouldn't know how to explain it properly. The reality is, if I just keep showing him plenty of examples, he actually picks up the concept himself. I hope Lychee is this teachable... But the thing I am probably most proud of is that this week he worked out from his pocket money which coins he needed for the sweet he wanted at the corner shop (4x5p) went and chose the sweet, queued up and purchased it all by himself. Obviously I went with him (can't account for other people) but for his part he was completely confident and competent to make this transaction by himself. He thanked the clerk, but when we got outside he was disappointed when he realised he had forgotten to add 'please' when answering the question 'what would you like?' We are lucky that the local corner shop seems to have the same staff in every sunday afternoon, so he is quite confident interacting with them. It would be interesting to see what happened if I took him to a different shop. I wonder whether he would still manage to complete the transaction or whether he would be shy?

(Received 23 August 2002; accepted 3 July 2003) CODEN: JTEOAD The semidestructive hole-drilling technique for measuring in-depth residual stress is well established for plane components. The strain-stress relationship requires calibration coefficients that can be determined either experimentally or numerically. Experimental determination of the calibration coefficient is very costly compared with numerical determination. Also, experimental determination cannot take into account the new stress distribution between two subsequent drillings. This is why the numerical solution was chosen to determine the calibration coefficients for spherical components in this study. We used the technique on a steering joint and compared the residual stress results obtained for a plane and a spherical structure. The error is discussed. This new development is also applicable on a hip prosthesis and other spherical shape components.

Identifier etd-04272011-155810 Degree Master of Arts (MA) Department Political Science Document Type Thesis Abstract This thesis looks at the factors that affected individual turnout and vote choice in the 2004 U.S. presidential election. Regarding the outcome of the election, a point of dispute among scholars pertains to whether evangelical Christians played a meaningful role in helping re-elect then-President Bush to a second term in 2004. The gay-marriage issue played a prominent role in the presidential campaign, due in part to a ruling the Massachusetts Supreme Court rendered in November 2003 that legalized the marrying of same-sex couples within the state’s borders. The Court’s decision had a reverberating effect, particularly among evangelicals, and subsequently, it affected the presidential campaign as well. Christian conservatives were successful in organizing efforts to get initiatives and referenda designed to constitutionally ban recognition of same-sex marriages on the ballot in 11 states, all of which passed easily in November. Using a large and previously untapped dataset, I develop a research design that builds on work by Campbell and Monson (2008), which shows that evangelicals who lived in a state with a marriage amendment on the ballot in November had a higher level of mobilization for Bush than other evangelicals. Contrary to those findings, I find that the marriage amendments in 2004 had no substantive impact on turnout or vote choice. Moreover, evangelicals living in marriage states were not more likely to turn out or vote for Bush in 2004, controlling for other relevant characteristics of the voters. Factors that influenced turnout in the 2004 election include: party identification strength, education, income, age, gender, region, and residence in a battleground state. Party identification, ideology, and race were predictors of vote choice in the 2004 election.

- Recommend: - Microsoft Offers Free Software to Web Startups Microsoft is giving away free software to early-stage Web start-up companies as part of a worldwide program called BizSpark launched on Wednesday. BizSpark aims to help startups get off the ground by providing production licenses and technical support for several Microsoft products. The licenses are free for the first three years, after which the startups must start to pay. As well as helping startups, the program gives Microsoft a way to promote the use of its software at a time when open-source alternatives have matured, and as rivals such as Google and Salesforce.com are promoting their cloud platforms for building Web applications. ZocDoc, a New York-based company that offers an online service for booking doctor and dentist appointments, became an early pilot member of the BizSpark program. It received licenses for Microsoft's Visual Studio, SQL Server and Windows Server products. "We're getting all the Microsoft software for free, so that's great for a startup like us trying to keep our costs low," said CTO and Cofounder Nick Ganju. "Some of these software packages can get pretty expensive so it's great to be able to keep our software free for the first few years." Other products covered by the program include Office SharePoint Portal Server, BizTalk Server and Systems Center, with Dynamics CRM to be added soon. Startups also get a subscription to the Microsoft Developer Network and a Community Technology Preview of Microsoft's Azure cloud software announced last week. To qualify for BizSpark, companies have to be privately held, less than three years old, have annual revenue of less than $1 million, and be developing an online service or hosted application. They also have to be nominated by one of the partners Microsoft is signing up for the program, which include investment companies, university incubators and economic development agencies, said Dan'l Lewin, Microsoft's vice president for Strategic and Emerging Business Development. The partners will be listed at the BizSpark Web site, expected to go live Wednesday, and startups can approach the groups and ask to be nominated, he said. Microsoft is also partnering with application hosting companies that can nominate startups and may offer them discount services, Lewin said. Several other vendors offer startup programs, including Sun Microsystems, which offers cut price servers and its open source software. Microsoft already offered some free software for startups, but it was for Express editions of its products or for more limited periods of time. The software licenses in the BizSpark program are for the full products with no usage restrictions, Lewin said. The program is being launched worldwide, with events planned in the coming weeks in Scandinavia, the U."

IF you’re chained to a desk all week, you risk joining the half a million people in the UK who suffer from RSI. That’s how many office workers the TUC says has endured those aches, pains, stiffness or cramps in the hands, arms, back and shoulders. Repetitive strain injuries — to give them their full name — are caused by repeated movements that place tendons under stress. With yesterday’s RSI Awareness Day held to highlight the risks, here’s some tech to help protect those tendons. Vertical mice like Logitech’s MX Vertical (£92.99, logitech.com) complement the natural resting position of your hands. It reduces muscle strain, decreases wrist pressure and improves posture. The right keyboard is key: Microsoft’s Bluetooth-enabled Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard (£99.99, microsoft.com) has a split shape and curved surface that allows wrists and forearms to be held in a more natural position, while voice-recognition software like Nuance Dragon Professional Individual v15 (from £279.99, nuance.com) allows you to control your computer without having to tap a single key stroke, which is as safe as you can get. ‘Don’t slouch’ is something we’ve all heard from our parents. Maintaining a poor posture can lead to tension in the shoulders, stiffness in the neck and upper and lower back pain. Rather than sitting down all day, try the portable, planet-friendly Deskmate Tabletop Stand-Up Desk (from £32.99, deskmate.co). It’s made from industrial-strength cardboard, pops up in seconds and converts any workstation into a standing desk. Upright Go (£69.99, amazon.co.uk) is like having an app-controlled guardian angel on your shoulder. It’s a flat, plastic device about the size of a playing card you stick at the top of your spine that emits a gentle vibration when you’re off-key. Fitbit’s Charge 3 (from £129.99, fitbit.com), meanwhile, prompts you to take a short break when you’ve been inactive for too long. If you’re already suffering, Lloyds Pharmacy’s Tens Digital Pain Reliever (£12.29, lloydspharmacy.com) eases back, shoulder and neck pain by delivering small electrical pulses to the body via electrodes placed on the skin that stimulate pain-relieving endorphins. The only better option is to give up work. But how are you going to afford that two-week holiday to Montenegro if you do that? Avoid working too long without moving and take regular breaks. Set your smartphone with regular reminders to move. There are lots of apps to assist with this, like Stand Up. Stress and tension can massively affect pain levels: when you’re stressed or busy, this can increase muscle tension, and affect movement and symptoms, so do your best to relax. When you’re not working, keep your palms facing forward. This helps to have better alignment in the wrist and hand, and relieves muscle tension. Limit the amount of time you spend doing emails on your phone — it’s not ideal for ergonomics. Deskmate founders guide to WFH.
. I am with you on this one. I think most people are making it up as they go Great post, as usual. Thank you. I blogged about it and gave you a mega-shout out. I came across this video and was equally surprised at the amount of detail and the complexity of ideas expressed. However, I didn’t see it as marketing BS, as it all seemed to make sense in terms of the concepts and methodologies presented. That said I don’t necessarily believe that it is representative of their actual strategic directon, if anything it’s aspirational as opposed to practical, given the ever changing nature of the social media landscape. Can’t imagine what hidden benefit there is in divulging their thinking? Is it just a demonstration of their intellectual insight. Reblogged this on Simply.That.Complex and commented: After reading this blog post, I was exceptionally intruiged to watch the coca cola content 2020 video… After I was fascinated, such a brilliant video, simple and to the point but coca cola have managed to cram almost all the complexities of marketing into a 7:28minute video… I am excited about the future of marketing… But one thing i know for sure, we are looking for our brands to become humanized, but humanized to the poin that we consider these brands our ‘friends’. Friends who we actively go and engage in conversation, friends who dont have to provoke us, in order for us to talk to them…. But i do believe that by the time we reach this level of “Super Marketing”, it will take a lot of time, especially in our world of hyper-interconnectedness and uber social worlds. Things change every second, it it is proving rather challenging to keep up…

International Business Times – by Edward Smith Following.” To report problems or to leave feedback about this article, e-mail:[email protected] To contact the editor, e-mail: [email protected] Signing this now legally covers allowing “the Cyber-Warriors for Obama Project” (check link above) from charges of being terrorists. This is the start of a cyber war by Obama supporters against those who will protect the Constitution. Yep, when the bill doesn’t pass through Congress because the people don’t want it, then by Obama’s logic, that automatically means an “overwhelming response” of people actually WANT a cybersecurity bill passed which is why he signs an executive order. I’m confused. What delusional world is he living in? So let’s see, if the people say we want it, it will pass through Congress. If the people don’t, it passes through executive order. Yep. The true signs of a blackmailing dictator. Can we just stop passing laws altogether and just enforce our existing ones. How about that? Nope. Gotta keep passing more laws to create the dictatorial control. “Must need control…. Must need control.” Like a hungry robot. As far as “”protection”” goes, I believe what the Course says: SAFETY IS THE RELINQUISHMENT OF ATTACK. And as far as the code it may be using SIS=Pa…. well, remember that the Master said ONLY THE FATHER DOETH THE WORK THROUGH ME. The Higher Dimension we ALSO reside in as we each have a Higher Self … DECIDES WHO carries that so-called electricity – and so there can be NO monopoly on it… you cannot use exterior or external things as symbols to tell HIM / UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS what to manifest. The process is complicated and never will deception do it. Healing and Unity – true healing and unity will. Those who sacrifice others in anyway must get re-aligned with their Higher Self. There are instructions for that in the New Testament. GOD BLESS!

The following is from RadarOnline.com (not the most reliable source …): The woman at the center of the Hulk Hogan sex tape is refusing to discuss her intimate moment with the wrestling legend, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting. Busty Heather Clem, 38, has told friends she is embarrassed that the raunchy video has been leaked on the internet. She’s also ashamed that pals have discovered she allegedly had sex with the “cheesy” Hogan Knows Best star. The grainy recording was supposed to be a private moment between her, Hulk, and then husband, DJ Bubba the Love Sponge – but now it’s anything but… “Heather is completely devastated the sex tape has appeared in public and doesn’t want to talk about it,” a friend told RadarOnline. “Heather didn’t want her friends and family knowing that she had sex with Hulk Hogan – he’s very corny. “It was a private moment, and wasn’t meant to be shared with anyone else,” the pal concluded. As RadarOnline.com previously reported, a one-minute clip said to be taken from 30 minutes of footage, shows the 59-year-old champ baring his pasty rear-end in a sexual encounter allegedly with Heather, the ex-wife of Hulk’s best friend, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge. It’s not flattering – and in comical fashion just after they’ve finished – the Hulkster can be seen pounding his bloated belly telling the lucky lady that he’d just eaten 10 minutes ago and “felt like a pig” while they were having sex! But one person who wasn’t surprised to see Hulk appearing in a sex tape was his ex-wife, Linda Hogan. She told RadarOnline.com: “I wasn’t really shocked about it,” and called the sexual encounter “a little twisted.” And her lawyer, Ray Rafool told RadarOnline.com: “Linda and Terry are now in a much more comfortable place as a family now. “They have two kids together – and she wants to make sure that no further embarrassment is caused. She doesn’t want to feed any fires by saying too much about the incident.” Heather Clem declined to comment when approached by RadarOnline.com. "and she wants to make sure that no further embarrassment is caused. She doesn’t want to feed any fires by saying too much about the incident.”" Yet Linda goes and gets pulled over for, speeding, and then charged with driving on a suspended license and DUI, lol Heather Clem it's google time! So I guess The Ultimate Warrior wasn’t full of shit after all. If this is true just how much else of what he said was true? Everybody and their mama were like Ultimate Warrior needs to shut up. He’s a has-been who is just jealous of Hogan. And now look at you doubting muthafuckas, this shit is hilarious! And I for one don’t wanna see Hulk Hogan get his rocks off. Who would be interested in seeing his old balls and dick? I’m kinda sick at the thought of him having a sex tape I bet it’s add sexy as Montana Fishbourne’s tape and that would’ve been hot of she didn’t look like her dad. She has an AMAZING body but her looks is fucked! If Brooke Hogan did one it would be as equally disappointing because she, like Montana, had a hot body but she suffers from Daddyness its where a chick has a OMG body but looks like her dad. Suffice to say I wouldn’t get an erection looking at any of their tapes. Unless Brooke wears a paper bag on her head like shorty in Scary Movie 2and no one tells me it’s Brooke. Ummmm….Yikes. Who shares their g-friend/wife with anyone…much less Hogan? That IS embarrassing for ALL parties involved. ….but nothing surprising at all. Man, it sounds like Hogan is worse with women than i am. Hulk Hogan has a Big Dick. I could care less about any celebs personal life. This is a wrestling site not a rag mag site. Not defending Hogan. Just that who cares! I saw the clips of the sex tape and it's so boring. The only thing that caught me was Hulk Hogan's cell phone ringtone of his daughter Brooke and mentioning Nick and putting on a Bubba T-Shirt. Also his bold hair and Tan @#$ covers the womens so this isn't even considered a sex tape more like. I rather watch Barney F*** all four Telletubbies then watch this garbage. I wanted to see T&A not TNA. Man, why would ya want to watch hogan screwing????????????????????????????? I didn't want to see Hogan screw. I wanted to see who the girl he was with. If I wanted to see Hogan screw I'll watch Impact Wresting on Thursday when he screws up the storyline everytime he puts himself in a match. No one wants to see Hogan wrestling or screwing in a sex tape. Hogan just wants the spotlight to himself. He's not promoting TNA. He's promoting HIMSELF for example TV Commercials, TMZ, Talk Shows. That's why he's a TNA. He wants the attention on him. Hulkamania is DEAD. He should've stuck to retirement in WWE and went to TNA as a full time GM not as a active wrestler who wrestles Aces&Eight. Yeah, Linda's in a much more comfortable place, an 8 x 6 jail cell.. Did I read it wrong or was it a threesome with Bubba the fat fcuk sponge.. no but nicks girlfriends sister i think it was said to be twin sister wants to have sex with hogan. im sure next we will get video of hogan oiling up brooke like he did on the beach lol. (runs an pukes in the toilet…opps didn't make it) its prob a funy video considering the roids he can't have much of a dick prob lol, if its big or normal it then must have been bigger before which then damn. but it would have been more hilarious seeing this 25 years ago with a cocaine induced hogan hulking up and ripping into women. i could only imagine animated gifs of such online. but id never wanna see hulk naked now brooke on the other hand but she must wear a mask or bag, cause her face looks like her dad and that justturns me off. Its not hard to see why everythin brookes done to date has been a failure, she cant act or sing and has a bigger jaw than her old man. As for the movie, the fact that the woman slept with bubba puts me off immediately.. I gotta agree with her. He’s super cheesy. He talks like Michelle from Full House. YOU GOT IT, DUDE! Honestly, I think this is someones attempt at deminishing TNA's Bound For Glory Impact. Its their biggest show of the year.Either you have WWE somehow trying to sabatoge it in a fashion they cant be implimented in it all or some fan of the WWE thinks this crap is funny. I frankly, could care less about what any wrestler does in their private lives. I want to see TNA wrestling exceed all other companies. I mean really, how many other wrestlers from other locations have tapes that havent got on internet simply because the Mcmahons are doing damage control to protect Linda. Ok, so she calls Hogan corny when she was married to Bubba the Love Spong of all people. Really? i just saw that video and i must say it's funny as shit, i laugh my ass off secondly, before everything was so politicized a third of wwe's roster had sex tapes of some form or another. I would love to have someone leak one about anyone in a certain family's household. The thing that ticks me off is TNA is an up and coming company that some other company feels threatended by so they want to do whatever to keep them back. Wrestler tampering, bad press, cyber slandering, etc.Why isnt stone cold being brought back but bret and piper show up every now and then. Why is Randy being jobbed now. Everyone knows that if randy gets the belt, shamus, punk, and all them other losers will become insignificant. Also, if Linda gets the governor election, all hell will break loose with WWE because she will have attained the position and record shows their family does what they want to do.
Rabbi Samuel Porrath The following remarks were made by Hedria Lunken Saltzman, daughter of Rabbi Samuel and Tibey Porrath, at the final Confirmation service at Temple Beth El of Greater Buffalo on Shavuot, June 9, 2008. Thank you – it is my joy to be here tonight to speak on behalf of my dad, Rabbi Sam Porrath, and I can’t do it without including his partner, your rebbitzen Tibey. I am here to tell you a story – a love story that ended with a beautiful shidach.... I married Paul Lunken, who was in the clothing business and friendly with Art Sitcov, and we became close friends. Two decades later, Temple Beth El needed a rabbi for the holidays. Art knew dad was retired and suggested they call Rabbi Porrath for 3 days – the 3 days that lasted for 15 years. Match maker, match maker, make me a match – find me a find, catch me a catch. Look through your book and make me a perfect match: The Temple job description might have read: And the Rabbi's and Rebbitzen's wish list for "retirement" might have read: Going into retirement – would be nice to become part of a new community, Maybe a place that could use Sam’s talents as a congregational leader, a community that is interested in learning and advancement and provide a challenge...one that would appreciate our many gifts, one that would welcome us. Sam’s resume/ Background : - Smicha in Israel - Married to Tibey from Niagara Falls – fell in love when he came to audition - retailing, public relations, writer, community work - One of the founders of Niagara County Community College - Founded a discipline at Niagara University: TTT - The school of Travel, Transportation, and Tourism [today called the College of Hospitality and Tourism Management] Match maker, match maker, make me a match – find me a find, catch me a catch. Oy: What a beautiful match – it was shidach made in heaven! Temple Beth El of Greater Buffalo honored my father and got his best years AND My father and mother spend the best 15 years of their lives here in "retirement" as Rabbi and Rebbitzen of Temple Beth El. Oy: What a beautiful match – it was shidach made in heaven! the congregation fell in love – the Rabbi and Tibey fell in love … A wonderful relationship for 15 years … If you ask in management “What makes a wonderful relationship?" - Trust - Setting and sharing goals - Mutual Admiration - Understanding - Growth When Dad came to Temple Beth El they got a professional with many attributes and Tibey as a rebbitzen …. A fantastic bonus. They became part of beautiful Temple community. The last time I left services with her – at Yom Kippur…people stood in the aisles to kiss her goodby. Rabbi Sam was an excellent speaker and Biblical scholar. He was able to take the portion of the week and make it come alive with examples from modern Judaism and what was happening presently in our communities. Many a Friday night at our dinner table, we would have a current events discussion, and later hear fragments of our conversation in temple – our discussions became your sermons. Rabbi Porrath was a futurist. He was in his 70’s and saying: “ In the next few years we can build a sanctuary, we can develop a program we can do this and that in the future….” He was always looking ahead. A new shidach is starting soon between 2 wonderful Conservative temples – May it be a new beginning with trust, goals, and mutual understanding. If Rabbi Samuel Porrath were here, he and Tibey would wish you well in your new ventures – it is my pleasure to do it for them. Thank you, Ellen, for honoring me and asking me to share with you tonight.
Activity Plan: Natural Treasure Weaving This activity is designed to encourage children to explore items from their natural environment, using their observational skills to think about similarities, differences and how each item is unique. What you will need: · Sticks · String · A natural area to explore. If this isn’t an option then you can collect natural items beforehand to do this activity in setting. · Suitable clothing – wellies if it’s muddy! Preparing the activity Prior to this activity, you will need to make a weaving frame – it sounds tricky but it’s quick and easy to make. Take three sticks and use string to bind them together to form a triangle. Next, wind the string from one side of the triangle to the other to make horizontal bands which the children can weave items through. This activity is best in a natural environment with plenty of leaves and sticks. If this isn’t possible then you could collect the items beforehand to take into the setting. Ideas include leaves, sticks, feathers, ferns, maple seeds, acorns, conkers etc. Doing the activity: Give each child one of the tree weaving frames. Have one for yourself too so you can model what to do. Explain to the children that they are going to find some natural objects which they really like and weave them into the string to make a tree full of special things. At this point, you can demonstrate by weaving leaves and sticks through the string, giving body to your tree shape. Talk about why you are choosing particular objects, encouraging the children to really think about being selective and just picking those they really like. Perhaps it’s a beautifully coloured leaf, a stick that looks like a mini Stickman or a very shiny conker. The aim is to get children to observe their natural environment, thinking about why one item might differ to another, considering textures, colours, shapes and sizes. After you’ve finished this activity, you could all sit together with your woven trees and take it in turns to talk about the items the children have collected. Sharing images and information about this activity with families can enable the conversations about their natural tree weaving to continue at home. Any age of early years child will enjoy the painting element of this activity, but it is most beneficial for children aged 3 and up. Tracking the activity 22 - 36 months: Understanding the World – The World; Notices detailed features of objects in their environment. Communication and Language – Speaking; Uses language as a powerful means of widening contacts, sharing feelings, experiences and thoughts 30 - 50 months Understanding the World, The World; Comments and asks questions about aspects of their familiar world such as the place where they live or the natural world. Can talk about some of the things they have observed such as plants, animals, natural and found objects. Communication and Language – Speaking; Beginning to use more complex sentences to link thoughts (e.g. using and, because). 40 - 60+ months Understanding the World – the World; Looks closely at similarities, differences, patterns and change. Communication and Language – Speaking; Uses talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events.

One of the keys to success in the quest to convince consumers to buy a smartwatch is battery life. Samsung’s (SSNLF) Galaxy Gear was lucky to get a day on a charge — one of the reasons its sales were disappointing. Apple (AAPL) has reportedly struggled with battery life on its rumored iWatch, a factor that has likely delayed the eagerly anticipated device’s release.The Pebble smartwatch manages 5-7 days on a charge, but to pull that off, it uses a black-and-white, e-paper display. But Qualcomm (QCOM) also has a horse in the game — the Toq smartwatch. The Toq offers Android notifications, an always-on color display and week-long battery life. QCOM isn’t exactly known for releasing its own consumer electronics. Instead, you’ll find its Snapdragon mobile CPUs powering many of the top-selling smartphones and tablets. However, just as Intel (INTC) showed off a slew of wearable reference designs and concepts at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, Qualcomm also wants to show off its technology in hopes other potential smartwatch makers take note. QCOM went a step further by going beyond the prototype to actually manufacture and sell its Toq smartwatch. Our Toq smartwatch review takes a look to see if the Toq is the best smartwatch available, or just another entry in a growing wearables market.
A Premier Grand Cru Classe B, Chateau Troplong Mondot is today considered one of the most prestigious properties of the Right Bank in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation of Bordeaux. Chateau Troplong Mondot 2012 is made from a blend of 90% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc from the superb clay-limestone soils of the Saint-Emilion plateau at the top of the Mondot Hill, across from Pavie. The product of a late and very demanding vintage, the Chateau Troplong Mondot 2012 is surprisingly beautiful. At the tasting, this wine displays a deep red colour, which is almost black. On the nose, the power and aromatic complexity are characterised by generous notes, evoking cherry liqueur, sumptuous chocolate and toasted notes of coffee. On the palate, the attack is frank and full-bodied, offering a great complexity of flavours, coupled with a creamy mouthfeel and grand scale. This wine offers a nice density, highly concentrated with tannins perfect for a long ageing in the bottle, firm but with a very fine grain. A superb Saint-Emilion - complex, rich and dense.

Famous SA rapper AKA and the EFF leader, Julius Malema end this year on a good note, despite the beef and criticism that went on between them. It was recently assumed that AKA is for Jacob, while Cassper is for Julius. However, the table seem to have turned round as AKA and Julius made up. A week ago, there was a social media contest on whose drink is better, between AKA’s Watermelon Cruz and Cassper’s Ciroc. Their fans were dragged into it and it turned out not really nice as the shades on both drinks was smashing. But Julius has being seen flagging Cruz(watermelon) beside the rapper(AKA). Snaps of AKA and Julius, including his wife has being a major talk on social media. Reconciliation looks good on them!

Buy my e-book A Conspiracy of Wizards (This is the continuation of the dialogue reproduced in A Response to a Conservative on Patriotism, Militarism) DK: Anyway, I appreciate you efforts in trying to communicate with me. I was happy to learn you served. I didn’t see the justification for the war in Vietnam, but whereas my dad served in WWII & grandfather in WWI I couldn’t dodge service. My solution was to serve 6 years in the Army National Guard, most of that as an officer. Becoming an officer reinforced my belief that making excuses can be harmful. If you want something, go for it. I was working full-time during that time and in a four year JD program nights at Suffolk Law. I came from a blue collar background but found a way to put together a fairly successful career. I now run a small investment advisory service to keep busy in retirement, helping people as well as I can. I help with children’s services by raising funds through my service club. When I grew up this was considered a duty. I now fiind that there are those today who think it should all be the “job” of government. In fact I hear that whatever I do is done just to make myself feel better. I guess that is true. Given my upbringing helping others is a core principal. Of course we do that too with paying our taxes that also provide help to those in need, but passing the buck isn’t enough. I answer to myself, which is part of being a responsible person. I don’t need or want to to judge you. Obviously you are driven to help others by working very hard providing the justification for the government making more decisions for us and how we should lead our lives. I can’t figure out why you believe you can make better judgements than I can for myself. Your subjective opinions are made to look like axioms. In support of your beliefs you accumulate experts, like Krugman. You do know that some smart people have different opinions, but they are just selfish. I can provide you with contrary “evidence”, but because I don’t find it in “liberally approved ” resources you will dismiss it out of hand. I really do think you are a good person with just a different set of values (bias). We need to know ourselves. The smartest people do and are always questioning their assumptions (bias). SH: It is not sufficient to respond to informed arguments by saying, “well, that’s just your bias,” and then burying the precise analysis that was employed under a lot of misdirectional rhetoric about others trying to tell you what to do when you know better than they do what is best for you to do. Because, let’s face it, we all know that there are numerous circumstances in which we reject that premise out of hand: You don’t get to murder people because you know what’s best and no one has any right to tell you what you should do. The issue isn’t whether we are interdependent or not, whether we, as a society, have some rights over you as an individual, to protect and advance the rights of all other equally valuable individuals; it’s a question of how and where and by what reasoning and values to realize the ideal balance between your individual liberty and our social coherence. I believe in doing it through the careful and systematic use of the full breadth and depth of our consciousness, in service to humanity, all values considered. You believe in relying on a convenient set of ideological platitudes that carefully remove a plethora of relevant information and analysis from consideration, and then declaring that all opinions are equal. Of course, no one is without bias, and no one has any final claim on absolute truth or absolute expertise. The competition of ideas is vital to the process and outcomes I am talking about. This is a part of that competition, involving competing arguments and competing narratives. You do your best to advance your preferred narrative, using all of your skill, trying to appeal to the emotions of your audience in a way which you think will resonate with them. I, too, do my best to advance my preferred narrative, using all of my skill, trying to appeal to the emotions of my audience in a way which I think will resonate with them. But, on top of that, I make it clear, through the consistent application of disciplined reason to carefully acquired evidence, that I am doing so in service to the reason, not in service to blind ideology. My narrative IS the use of disciplined reason and disciplined imagination, applied to carefully acquired information, in service to humanity. Yours is the repetition of right-wing ideological platitudes. In the world as it is, tragically, blind ideology frequently prevails over informed reason. In the world as we should strive to make it, that should never happen. You have the habit, which I’ve commented on several times already, of not actually responding to the facts and arguments presented, but rather simply reiterating your talking points, your preferred emotional appeals, pretending that the analyses that have challenged them simply don’t exist. That certainly can work, and has worked in many times and places. But it SHOULDN’T work. It is the undermining rather than mobilizing of reason in service to humanity. And, in the long run, it does not prevail. Our goal should be to bend that arc of the moral universe more sharply toward justice, and expedite the exploration of all other alternatives before arriving at that which is recommended by reason. I’m all for community involvement and volunteerism, and do a fair amount myself. But we had a history of reliance on that informal and unenforced “duty” to take care of the needs of the poor and unfortunate, and we know that it does not do so to any adequate degree: It produces a Dickensonian world (and Dickens, in fact, was responding to an ideology virtually identical to your own, which had come to displace a more compassionate and responsible one that had preceded it). There’s an inherent free-rider problem; a diminishing few step up and bear the whole burden, while an increasing many say “well, I can’t solve these problems on my own, so why should I bear the burden of trying? My contribution can never meet the need out there, and my individual failure to contribute won’t change things much either.” That’s why we can, should, and must use an agent of our collective will to commit us all to responsibilities we believe we should collectively assume; because that’s what works. “Passing the buck” isn’t saying “not only should we all do as much as possible for others, of our own accord, but we should also work together, through our social institutions, to do as much as possible for others and for us all as a society.” Passing the buck is saying “it’s up to each person to decide whether they want to help others or not; the poor, the destitute, the sick, the unfortunate, are not society’s shared problem, but rather only the problem of those who decide of their own accord to take on the burden that we do not insist that we all share, and so ensure that it is not adequately met.” Passing the buck is saying “we can’t meet those needs that can only be met as a society, because to do so would require us to act as a society, and that is anathema to our values.” I am not looking for justifications to give more power to the government to make decisions about how we should live our lives, but rather am striving to give more power to us as a society to act through a democratically elected and constitutionally framed agency of our will to accomplish goals and meet challenges that we collectively face and cannot be accomplished or met merely as a group of disaggregated individuals. We are a society, and have to act as a society, which means using the social institutions of being a society to exercise a collective will, bear collective burdens, and meet shared responsibilities. That is one part of what it is to be human. Using government to do what really has never been adequately done without it isn’t “passing the buck,” but rather just the opposite: Stopping the buck in the one way and one place where we can effectively stop it, in the agency of our collective will and collective action, because it is a “buck” that requires and merits no less resolve than that. It’s not about making better judgments for you than you make for yourself; it’s about acting cooperatively to accomplish ends that can only be accomplished cooperatively. Here is an explanation of how that works:. This isn’t a “subjective opinion,” it’s a mathematical reality. We ARE interdependent, and if we fail to act in ways which explicitly recognize and respond to that fact, as effectively as possible, balancing the simultaneously complementary and competing values of individual liberty and social coherence, then we fail both to achieve the full realization of both our individual liberty AND our social coherence, and fail to achieve the full realization of our humanity. Buy my e-book A Conspiracy of Wizards One thing DK wrote that I didn’t address: ‘I can provide you with contrary “evidence”, but because I don’t find it in “liberally approved ” resources you will dismiss it out of hand.’ If it is reliable evidence, I will never dismiss it. If by “liberally approved resources” you mean those that pay attention to reliability, then I suppose you’re right. If you mean that there is some a priori substantive bias that I insist on, then you’re very wrong. As I said earlier (and as you conveniently ignored), I have actually studied the scholarly arguments against my positions more diligently than those supporting my positions, because that is what intellectual integrity requires of me. On the other hand, if you were to repost some meaningless propaganda, that did not pass through any of our institutionalized processes for ensuring reliability, than, you’re right, I would reject those out of hand.
This little card was so quick and easy to make!! I used my fun Georgia Peach DSP and my little bloom Sizzlets that came with my SU! Big Shot starter kit. I ran the DSP through the Big Shot and presto! Two little flowers that I used on top of a scallop circle punched piece of Regal Rose CS to create my focal image. I then put a strip of the Georgia Peach DSP onto a little 3×3 note-card, added my layered flower, added some Dazzling Diamonds, stamped the sentiment from Short & Sweet, and my card was finished. Took much less than 5 minutes to make, and making 10 of them was no problem!! This card, too, went to my friend who hostessed a workshop. Yesterday's post contains the first – more elaborate – card. Hope this quick and easy card can be of inspiration to you when you need just such a card. Isn't it cute?!!? Stamps: Short & Sweet, Seasonal Icons (Hostess Level III Holiday Happenings Bundle – flower on envelope) Ink: Regal Rose Classic Ink Paper: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose and Whisper White CS, Georgia Peach DSP Accessories: Big Shot and Sizzlet (Birds & Blooms), Scallop Circle punch, 2-way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds, Dimensionals What an awesome card! This is the kind of card you could easily reproduce for all occasions! Maybe I should stick to your designs for Christmas! Are you doing a Christmas card workshop by chance? Pretty pink card. Well done.
Now, I don't know about you, but I associate easter with lush mystery and exciting crime fiction, and so I thought I would recommend some books that I think are suited for this time of year! Private Investigator Cormoran Strike, a war veteran with one leg, is barely scraping by, having broken up with his longtime girlfriend, creditors at his door and sleeping in his office. Then, an old friend walks into the office one day, saying his sister, the supermodel who famously fell to her death a couple of months back, didn't actually commit suicide; she was murdered, and he needs Strike's help to prove it. If you've already read this, the second one, The Silkworm, is also very good. If you've already read this, the second one, The Silkworm, is also very good. Oslo in November. A boy named Jonas wakes up and finds his mother missing. Harry Hole is set on the case, and finds himself a pawn in a game where he doesn't know the rules. Also, if you are unaware, Jo Nesbø is Norwegian. Woot woot. Also, if you are unaware, Jo Nesbø is Norwegian. Woot woot. New England, 1892. In need of a job, Abigail meets R. F. Jackaby, an investigator of the unexplained with a keen eye for the extraordinary. On her first day as assistant, Abigail finds herself in the middle of an exciting case; a serial killer is on the loose, and the killer doesn't seem to be strictly human. Meg Cobryn is a blood prophet - when you cut her skin, she can see the future. Being worth a lot of money, she's been kept in a compound her whole life, her Controller selling her prophesies to the highest bidder. But when she escapes, the only place she can find safety is with The Others; creatures who see humans as nothing more than meat. It wouldn't be Easter without Agatha Christie! An advertisement in the local gazette reads: A murder is announced and will take place on Friday October 19th, at Little Paddock at 6.30 p.m. Unable to resist this mysterious invitation, the people of Chipping Cleghorn, including Miss Marple, gather to see what's going to happen.
Therein hangs a tail Dead men tell no tales, but their statues gesture at a larger ideological and cultural shift - Published 22.12.19, 2:23 AM - Updated 22.12.19, 2:23 AM - 5 mins read - The statue of Subhas Chandra Bose astride a horse at north Calcutta’s Shyambazar five-point crossing has always been a crucial marker. A first-time visitor or someone somewhat lost and in the neighbourhood will always take the help of the statue. “Take the road facing the horse” or “follow the road the tail points to” are common refrains. Apart from this, public statues in the city have little purpose. Though one must concede, in recent times statue vandalism has become a recognised form of political protest followed by a manic erection of statues everywhere starting from Bikash Bhavan to Puja pandals. In such a scenario, art historian Tapati Guha-Thakurta delivered a lecture organised by Victoria Memorial Hall, titled “Why Statues Matter: The Changing Landscape of Calcutta’s Colonial and Post-Colonial Statuary”, which will find a place in her new book of essays. That day at the Victoria Memorial Hall, Guha-Thakurta traces how many of the statues seen around Calcutta — of Outram, Auckland and the bulk of the colonial statues — came to be commissioned over the 19th century, how the material was sent to England to be chiselled into likenesses, their transportation back and installation. She talks about the commissioning of the famous equestrian statue of General Outram. “Following the commission given to John Henry Foley in 1861 by a combined London and Calcutta committee, the government of India had to send across to London 11 tonnes of gunmetal for the casting of the figure. The finished form was transported to Calcutta 13 years later and ceremonially unveiled in 1874.” Guha-Thakurta also chronicles how in the 20th century many of these statues were dismantled by the ruling party in the state and huddled into oblivion elsewhere while newer statues took their place. “Most of them were relocated in one sweep in the late 1960s and early 1970s, motivated largely by the fear of the felling of statues during the Naxalite agitation. Compared to cities such as Mumbai, Calcutta’s colonial statuary was never vandalised — rather they found new hospitable locations, either within the Victoria Memorial, or later, within the Flagstaff House in the cantonment town of Barrackpore,” she tells the gathered audience. It was with the Congress coming to power in the Calcutta Municipal Corporation in 1923, with Chittaranjan Das as the mayor, that the installation of statues of the “imperial masters” came to a stop. The statues of nationalist leaders started to come up in public places. The first group of sculptors from Calcutta, all bearing the occupational name of Pal, belonged to the traditional clay idol-making families of Kumartuli and Krishnagar. They later acquired training in neo-classical art from Europe and realist statue-making from the Government School of Art in Calcutta. Gopeshwar Pal made the statues of Girish Ghosh, Rani Rashmoni and Rajendranath Mukherjee, and Romesh Pal is the maker of the statues of Chittaranjan Das, Surya Sen and Matangini Hazra that occupy prominent spots along the Dalhousie Square-Esplanade stretch. Debiprosad Roy Chowdhury, who had trained under Abandindranath Tagore, was commissioned to sculpt the bronze statues of Sir Asutosh Mukherjee and Surendranath Banerjee. It was Roy Chowdhury who also created the iconic bronze statue of Gandhi’s Dandi March placed on Dufferin Road. This was the first statue of Gandhi to be officially commissioned by the state, in 1958, 10 years after his death, and it replaced the iconic equestrian statue of Outram. There are rows of frozen-in-time nationalist leaders through the stretch of Victoria Memorial, Maidan, Esplanade and BBD Bag. These replaced their colonial predecessors when the first United Front government came to power in 1969. The Lord Curzons and Lord Cannings were relocated to the Victoria Memorial grounds or Flagstaff House. Richard Westmacott’s 1828 marble sculptural group of Warren Hastings in a Roman Toga, flanked by the figure of a Brahmin pandit and a Muslim scribe, can be seen in the West Quadrangle of the Victoria Memorial. It was shifted here in 1921 from the Town Hall. Guha-Thakurta makes the broad and ironical point that while the state was trying to erase or hide its colonial past, its present iconography was, and remains, equally lost on the masses. A statue of Rai Kristodas Pal Bahadur at the crossing of College Street and M.G. Road is all but hidden by hoardings of a spice maker, a Benarasi sari shop, a political party and sundry others. Pal is not a widely-known public figure. The pedestal engraving reads: “He is commemorated by his countrymen for his services as secretary to the British Indian Association, a member of the municipal corporation, a journalist, a legislator.” Surendranath Banerjee in Curzon Park, Ashutosh Mukherjee on Central Avenue, and the busts of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi at Jaanbazar and near Jadu Babur Bazar, respectively, are also lost in the clutter of city life. Even where they stand uncluttered against the skyline, they remain largely invisible to the multitudes. And yet there are promises of more statues, more Tagores, more Vidyasagars... As roads are renamed after public and popular figures, corresponding statues come up to drive home the point. A statue of Meghnad Saha, the scientist, has come up on Southern Avenue, and a mortar Uttam Kumar in dhoti stands before the Tollygunge Metro station, which has been renamed after him. Veteran artist Ramananda Bandopadhyay says, “While the colonial era statues were way superior and made to perfection, our statues created post-Independence were based on the artists’ feeling and perception of the person whose sculpture he was making.” He drew attention to Khudiram’s statue in the High Court area. Unlike the white sculptures of the earlier colonial period, the new sculptures are black — possibly to prevent them from getting dirty or drab. Or was there a post-colonial point being made? Guha-Thakurta makes a distinction between sculptures and works of art as opposed to public statues. “Calcutta’s colonial period statuary can acquire an individuated identity as artwork associated with the studio and style of a known sculptor of the period, with engraved names of artists and foundries on the body of the object or from its pedestal,” she writes in her essay. But never, as a rule, is the name of the sculptor anywhere visible in the post-colonial statues that came up. “The identity of the sculptors who were commissioned to make these figures stand in complete erasure. In most cases, the plaques on the plinth carry no more than the name and biographical dates of the person represented,” said the historian. A keen sense of aesthetics and logic marks out the creations of the colonial era from their post-colonial counterparts. Sir Asutosh Mukherjee’s statue, for instance, stands right at the mouth of Chittaranjan Avenue. To emphasise that Mukherjee was an educationist, the maker created — more like dumped — a stack of books at his feet. Compare that with the statue of Lieutenant Governor of Bengal, Sir Andrew Henderson Leith Fraser, from 1911. Its maker, one George Frampton RA, also put a stack of books by his side, probably to commemorate Fraser’s stature as a lawyer. But unlike the statue of Asutosh, Frampton chose to put the books on a stand beside the statue. The late sculptor, Ramkinkar Baij, who was taken on a tour of Calcutta’s public statues on a summer’s day in 1975, apparently had said of Roy Choudhury’s Gandhi on his Dandi march: “Where is he walking? It seems he is standing with his weight on the rear foot. There is a step he has taken but he is not walking. Why is his chaddar not flying? Why is his head bent? Where is the Mahatma’s gait and vitalilty in the legendary crusade?” Of the Netaji statue at Shyambazar crossing, Baij was caustic: “Is that the horse’s tail? Did it stand up that way on hearing Netaji’s name? Even if the horse was galloping, the tail wouldn’t be horizontal. And here the horse is not shown galloping.” Indeed, as a caricature of Foley’s equestrian Outram, this statue, Guha-Thakurta feels, has come to exemplify all that is wrong with post-Independence Calcutta’s public statues.

Employees must put employer’s interests first By Ivan Israelstam, chief executive of Labour Law Management Consulting South African labour legislation gives employees a plethora of rights against the employer. So much so that many employers wonder whether the resultant burden on them makes it worth continuing to run the business. For example, employees have, amongst others, the right to: • Join trade unions • Go on strike • Procedural fairness at disciplinary hearings • A fair reason for dismissal • Protection form unfair demotions • Be promoted under certain circumstances • Minimum wages in many cases • Sick leave, holiday leave, maternity leave and compassionate leave • Overtime pay • Consistent treatment • Protection from unfair discrimination • Representation at CCMA by a trade union representative On the other hand, labour legislation gives employers few rights; and those that they do have are very restricted. That is, employers may exercise limited rights as long as, in doing so, they do not infringe the numerous rights given to employees. However, one area that employers can exercise their rights is that of fiduciary duty. This means that the employee has, in certain ways, the duty to put the employer’s interests first. This does not mean that the employee must, as a way of benefiting the employer, forfeit his/her rights to leave, legal working hours or fair discipline. It does mean that the employee may not advantage himself/herself unfairly at the expense of the employer. Specifically, this means that the employee may not: • Place him/herself in a position where his/her interests conflict with those of the employer • Make a secret profit at the expense of the employer • Receive a bribe or commission from a third party • Misuse the employer’s trade secrets • Give a third party the employer’s confidential information. While this principle applies generally to employees it applies more strongly to senior employees. In deciding on the extent of fiduciary duty that an employee has the courts consider a number of factors including: • The degree of freedom that the employee has to exercise discretion in making and executing business decisions • The opportunity for the employee to exercise this discretion in his/her own interests • The extent to which the specific circumstances open the employer to abuse of the employee’s discretion • The extent to which the employer relies on the employee for expertise and judgement in conducting the business • The extent to which the employee is in a position of trust. Clearly, the more junior the employee the less these fiduciary factors are likely to prevail. That is, with some exceptions, junior employees normally do not have the right or duty to make crucial business decisions or the opportunity to misuse decision-making power. The line between who is a senior employee and who is not and the line between who is in a position of trust and who is not are blurred. Whether, for example, a junior salesperson is in a position of trust or not depends on the specific circumstances of each case. Therefore, in order to protect itself from employees acting against the employer’s interests every employer should: • Build in checks and balances that prevent the abuse of power • Inform all employees of their fiduciary duties in relation to their positions of trust • Make sure employees at all levels know the seriousness of breach of their fiduciary duties • Take swift, fair and consistent action against employees who breach their fiduciary duties • Obtain expert legal advice before acting against suspects.

Galilee Diary #366, December 4, 2007 Marc J. Rosenstein Recently we had to replace our aging family car, a Skoda diesel, which at ten years and 200,000 miles was still getting 40 miles to the gallon. I have never seen a Skoda in North America, though they have become quite popular in Europe and Israel in the past ten years. Skoda is a Czech company now owned by Volkswagen. We looked around, and ended up buying another one. Our new compact station wagon is currently averaging 48 miles to the gallon. Diesel fuel is available at every gas station in Israel, and diesel cars are very common here, as in Europe. When we bought our first one, the tax on diesel fuel was significantly less than on gasoline, so we not only saved fuel, but we saved even more money. Now the price per gallon is about the same (about $6.50), though one can generally find diesel at a discount. Note that there is a 40% purchase tax on new cars here, so there is no such thing as a cheap car, and the used car market is inflated accordingly. If only Abraham had not listened to God, and had stayed in Iraq, we would be sitting on huge petroleum reserves instead of just about the only sliver of land in the Mideast with no oil underneath it. Israel imports oil from Egypt, Africa, Latin America, Norway, Russia and other former Soviet republics. Virtually all of this comes by tanker since the overthrow of the Shah in Iran, the pipeline from there has been cut off. So you would think, given our dependency and given our reputation for being clever, that we would be a world leader in energy conservation. And yet, for reasons I have been trying for years to understand, this is a society that seems blithely unconscious of the most basic energy conservation habits. My pet peeve is the universal practice of turning on the air-conditioning and opening all the windows. Whenever I am in a place where this occurs, which is frequently, in just about every meeting or class, in the big city or the moshav, among Arabs or Jews, teenagers or professors, I attempt to close the windows, but am always rebuffed. I am told it is stuffy with the windows closed. And if I try to explain that this is sort of a waste of energy, I see the "tree-hugger" glances being exchanged around me. Israel, despite its energy situation, is still infatuated with the private car; sales keep increasing - many leased by businesses that provide company cars (with unlimited fuel) as a common perk to employees. Highways are constantly being widened, but the construction cant keep up with the congestion. When I have a meeting in Jerusalem, a 250 mile round trip, and tell people I'll be coming by train and bus, I get pitying looks, and "Really? How is that trip?" (Actually, if its not Sunday morning or Thursday afternoon, the trip is quite pleasant, thank you). On the positive side, as more and more people install home air-conditioning, the use of inefficient radiant heaters in winter declines, in favor of heating by means of reversing the air- conditioner (which can pump heat in either direction). But this is actually not an ecological decision but an accidental benefit of the increasing use of air-conditioners which leads, of course, to hugely increased electric consumption in the summer (especially with all those open windows). I always find it surprising that in the United States, that land of unlimited resources and the pursuit of happiness, there seems to be a clear and growing public awareness of certain basic conservation measures (not that there is not a long way to go), whereas here, in the face of scarce resources, there is such resistance to those same simple measures. Maybe the message is that theres more to it than economics: if a 40% purchase tax on cars, and fuel at $6.50 a gallon, and the time costs of congestion and the health costs of smog, dont slow us down, what will?

Gillian Marchenko’s new book, Still Life; A Memoir of Living Fully with Depression officially launched yesterday. While Gillian is busy doing media and interviews this week, we’re sharing a post she previously wrote for our companion blog, Not Alone. online. As a mom of a child with special needs, i very much appreciate this article. Perhaps it would be good to write a follow-up article concerning how a parent who has received a diagnosis can walk along side a parent who has very recently received a diagnosis as I’ve been called to do this over the years, most recently this week. I found what i appreciated were the words that this child is MUCH more than their diagnosis. My experience is that as parents, mostly we were surrounded by medical personnel who treated her as a diagnosis and could only tell us of possible foreboding outcomes–NONE of which came to pass. All this is off-center and robs you of the reality of this child–that they are a great blessing, a great joy, that there are many firsts to celebrate with the child, wonderful memories to make, a world to explore together and much laughter to come. Pingback: When Someone Receives a Special Needs Diagnosis.. \| Celebrating Christ Great advice, especially the first one. So often people, not knowing what to do, don’t.
Jeeps have been a staple of American society for the last one hundred years. Their ability to traverse the land, transport large groups of people, and allow people to complete tasks on time have made them America’s most reliable vehicle. Jeeps provide fantastic family vehicles with plenty of cargo room and room for children and family to go on long extended road trips. Choosing any brand new 2019 Jeep from Bloomington Chrysler is a fantastic way to leave knowing that you own a car that will serve your family for years to come. Some of the family tasks Jeeps excel at: - Transporting Kid’s Sports Gear - Traversing snow, mud, and more on an important vacation - Fantastic Mileage for the money allowing to spend more on family When it comes to family never skimp out. With so many selections of 2019 Jeeps available on the market the time has never been better to invest!
Good day/bad day?: Okay Regular ol' work-a-day kind of day. Just lots of busyness and rigamarole going on right now, including at home. We're looking to get new windows, so many, many appts for quotes...yawn! But it'll be nice. Right now our windows are kind of archaic, and the screens are weird and don't fit well, so we hardly ever wind up opening the windows. Not ideal. Oh yeah, as I'm typing this I'm just thinking ahead of when they'll actually do the work, etc. I may be looking for another place to crash... Pleasant surprise--there was a cancellation for the acupunctuist for the cancer clinic, so I get to see her tomorrow! Otherwise my first appt wasn't until the end of Oct, but now she works in return appts for people she needs to keep seeing. It should help with the nausea and fatigue ongoing, and during the second treatment phase it should help prevent nerve pain/damage. But it won't reattach my hair. Still not noticeable from what I can tell, but it's a little gross as it keeps falling out! FYI, Olive seems to be well through the last round of teething, and now the kid can grind! I know it's not a very exciting first word, but she has been saying "hi" very clearly for a while, and is getting better at mimicking other words. She's also an expert at finding the little mouse in Goodnight Moon. Ben is developing a calendar to track when he'd like some days free, so we're going to try planning them out with a little more warning. Stay tuned, you may be asked soon! 4 comments: It's ok to be excited by the small stuff. In fact, I had a patient yesterday who was ecstatic because he finally mastered his urinal and was no longer dumping pee all over himself and the bed!!! I think it's great that Olive can find the mouse in Goodnight Moon...I'm not sure I'd fair as well!!! I can just picture Olive's little finger pointing to the mouse!!It's amazing how sharp those little eyes are.Treasure these moments! Aw creepy book! We have THREE copies. Ethan doesn't point out anything yet. And...wanted you to know. I watched In the Family today and can't imagine how you could get through that movie. I was crying and I don't cry very often at movies. Oy oy oy oy. Such impossible decisions. Thank you for sharing here. You are my hero for doing it. I'd forgotten all about that little mouse. And now they are all in college!

A post seen too often lately from friends followed for almost eight years. "Where have you been?", "why haven't you been posting?", "is this place getting dusty?". The first one, school has kicked into high-gear, combined with no weekends off for over month plus trying to get up to the cabin every weekend, equals zero time to jot inane markings of my boring suburbanite married life. Busy does not equal exciting, at least in my world, to others flying around the world in exotic lands and less-than-safe hotels and airports, my path is pretty straightforward with the same 8.7 miles commute in the wee hours of the morning, same return trip and maybe spice it up with a stop at the Holiday gas station, then back home to become either daddy or that one parent trying a little too hard to remind his five year old daughter to keep her hands together while swinging the bat playing T-ball. Add in the Swedish sauna-like heat over the past three weeks, plus an annual guy's weekend trip that included passing out next to a bottle of Pliny the Elder and getting stacked in a $20 buy-in NLHE game by a chick that had her chair crying for mercy, and you've got one tired blogger. Hell, Saturday night there was me, myself, and I slumped on a tan sectional all alone when I should have been downtown having a beer on a rooftop with good friends. But the sirens of the afternoon nap called and four hours later I woke up to Parker Bonn Jr. trying to close out a bowling match on ESPN 26. Lack of posting is both the above excuses, which really are lame, and lack of desire. Since my advanced composition professor has decided to make our fingers bleed while banging out long drawn out analytical thesis, 10 to 1 arguments, scouring academic papers for the true meaning within, and becoming conversant while penning the next Moby Dick, my fingers and whatever is left of the magical pixie dust of creativity within my rum-soaked fingers is dried up from the effort. The challenges are awesome, I mean who wouldn't want to learn how to draft a cost summary for a processing plant while derviving the meaning from a paper that compares tommy girl perfume commericials and corporations exploiting nationalist pride for profit? Again, exciting life I lead. The film of non-use on this writing shelf? Since this is my shelf to place trophies, kids stories, and bitch about when the missus and I have not had sex for weeks, it will be used, abeit sparingly during the summer. Much like the golden ages when Americans could play quasi-legal online poker for more than points towards a t-shirt or brass bracelet, my fun time online takes a big dip in the months filled with baseball, sweaty boxer briefs, and tall, cold pours of Surly Furious on the deck. Drunken poker Thursday are no more, as my degeneracy has been diluted to playing slots on Facebook. See DOJ, you make me cry, turning my hobby night of blank thoughts into an evening of Mark Zuckerberg sponsored pokes and pop-up windows to remind my friends that I'm playing Slot-O-Mania past midnight. No worries about that five page paper and 30 different general ledger entries due by Sunday before getting the low-down on the final two tables of the PokerStars Sunday Warm-up. Yep, NO FUN FOR YOU! /Soup Nazi No drawn out rant today as tonight I'll be thumbing through 20 pages of academic writing penis pumping (or titty enlarging?), as the author's of the textbook seemed more concerned with the amount of 50 cent words they could cram into paper-filled vacuum than trying to teach a point to improve my writing skillz (or lack thereof). Reading while taking my son and 10 other kids to something called "SkyZone" to wear them out playing dodgeball on trampolines. Actaully looking forward to this as we had a blast the first time I took him here, something that the recent stock market roller coaster, riots in London, or moral online gambling zealots won't touch. And times like these will get my pen here for a few minutes each week.

If you spend most of your time at a keyboard, you can count yourself among the 60 million or so professionals known as “knowledge workers”—a term Peter Drucker coined in the 1960s to describe academics, tech people, analysts, essentially, anyone who didn’t work a physically demanding job. You know. People who “think” for a living. What a weird term, knowledge worker. It’s also kind of classist and obnoxious. Please. I know plenty of “knowledge workers” who don’t think about anything. But what’s more, the term seems to imply that what we come in knowing is more important than what we learn while we’re here. Here’s why I bring it up: I spoke on a panel called “The Future of Work” at the Workfront LEAP 2017 conference, held annually for users of its project management software. Workfront CMO Joe Staples posed the question of how we thought the role of the knowledge worker was changing. So I piped up and said that the real challenge of the “knowledge worker” has little to do with knowledge, and everything to do with getting anyone to care. In his book The Icarus Deception, Seth Godin says that while we’re living in the new Connection Economy, we’re nursing an Industrial Age hangover. We still think compliance and efficiency is most important; it’s not. We have machines that can gather, process, and evaluate information. The challenge, then, is for modern “knowledge workers” is to get over what they know, and instead, stay curious and engaged and empathetic. Because if they don’t, they won’t learn, or grow, or invest in any real way in the work they do, which is already happening. Disengagement is one of the big threats to corporate cultures, productivity—and costs the U.S. economy somewhere around $500 billion annually. Meaning, far too many people just don’t care. And if you don’t care, how can you create trust, loyalty, value? You can’t. Futurist Jacob Morgan says on Forbes.com that it’s goodbye to the knowledge worker and hello, instead, to the learning worker: “This new movement is the age of the ‘learning workers.’ Yes, these people largely have college degrees and advanced training, but what sets them apart is their knowledge of how to learn. Instead of having a set of specific skills, learning workers have the skills to learn as they go, adapt, and apply their learning to new situations and issues.” What’s far more valuable he says, is not what someone comes in knowing, but how they can adapt and get up to speed as the business landscape and demands evolve. It’s those who can adapt who will be more successful, but also more valuable, and the same goes for learning organizations who are stay light on their feet. So rather than get hung up on what you know or don’t know, recognize that one of the most valuable skills you can bring to the table is your ability to be a quick study, to be truly interested and engaged. Do you have any idea how rare that is? (Here are the slides for the session I presented at Workfront LEAP 2017, called “Out of Juice: How to Reinspire Yourself & Reengage at Work.”) I didn’t even know that “knowledge worker” dates to the ’60s. That, per se, isn’t the reason it’s a poor moniker. I can agree that the times when I’ve maintained a learning mind-set e.g. at the start of a new job, are really when I had the greatest impact. Coursera’s “Learning How to Learn” and “Mindshift” MOOCs are excellent, in-depth, scientific supports of the benefit of being a “learning worker.” Thank you, Terri, for a good read.

Vanessa VanCleef cosplayer shares experience balancing big cosplay projects World of WarCrafts spotlights art and creativity by WoW players, including fan art, cooking, comics, cosplay, music, fan fiction and more. Sample the whole spectrum on our Arts and Crafts in WoW page.. World of WarCrafts: Hi, Kristie! Can you tell us about your background in gaming? How did you get involved with WoW? Kristie: I've been a gamer since I was as big as a Gnome! I grew up a bit of a tomboy so gaming came along naturally with that. I started off playing tons of Mario games on Nintendo64 (I used to dominate in Mario Kart and Mario Party!) Then I made my way through Gameboy, PS1, PS2 and those other beloved consoles. Some of my favorites are the Devil May Cry series, Legend of Dragoon, Sword of Etheria, and a few Final Fantasy games, amongst many others. My Warcraft addiction didn't start until I hit college, to be honest. Some of my friends had been disappearing for months at a time on the internet (I learned the hard way what it meant to "lose a friend to WoW") until I found out they had been playing World of Warcraft. I was wary of online gaming because I was so used to playing the good old RPG or shooter by myself. It wasn't until I met my boyfriend that I was pulled into this new world of MMO over two years ago. He started me out slow since I was working on getting my degree at college, so I mostly played over the summer and winter breaks until my last semester when I couldn't stay away and have been playing consistently ever since. I love doing all of the holiday events in the game (witch hat/broom stick cat pet!) and working through the new quest lines. I've been chasing achievements lately and looking for more artifacts to finish off my archaeology. I love running around with the moonkin pet my boyfriend bought me for a present, and I think it's probably my favorite pet I have so far! I haven't tinkered much with raiding yet, honestly, but we do run 5-man dungeons together. My boyfriend jokes that I can just watch him suffer three hours of raiding three nights a week instead of having to do it myself, but I'll probably start doing it eventually. It looks like you've been doing cosplay for quite some time. What got you into it? I've been cosplaying since ... 2004ish? I got my first sewing machine in 2006, though, so I feel that was when I really leveled up as a costumer. I was always a creative kid, so making costumes was a no-brainer. My grandmother took care of sick children, so she used to always do the craft projects with me that she did with them. That snowballed over time, and I started trying out new crafts and things on my own. My dad dreaded taking me back to the craft store because he knew I wouldn't leave without a new thing to try out. When I got older, I started to get into anime and saw these magazines that featured pictures from conventions. They showed lots of costumes from series I loved, so I wanted to try too, and it stuck ever since. From there I got into making game, comic book, movie, and now Warcraft costumes. I love being able to challenge myself with each new costume project, and some of it I even get to apply to personal side projects or gifts for friends! I'm very very picky about who I choose to make a costume for. I only do characters I like or find amusing in some quirky way. I used to crossplay a lot when I was younger, but these days I stick more with the femme fatale ladies because I relate to them better, especially those that like to walk on the darker side of the story. I've never cared if the character/series was popular or not. I think at least a fourth or more of my costumes are from series next to no one has heard of! My second criteria for a costume is to look for something visually interesting. If they usually wear something boring, then I'll end up making the outfit that might appear in only one chapter/episode because it would be more fun to make. I originally didn't even think about Vanessa until later in the year. At first, I was thinking about making one of my toons in some random gear or even a Draenei. After going through Vanessa's dungeon I added her to my list of possibilities because I liked her attitude and storyline a lot, so when it came time to choose, a lot of my friends said she would be the best because there was so much personality and visually interesting costume pieces to work with. I couldn't turn down making big shoulder pieces that looked like nasty little gargoyles -- who could pass that up?!? How do you come up with ideas for cosplay and put the costumes together? I always choose a costume well in advance. I'll sketch out certain sections of the costume to get a feel for its shape, weight, and overall presentation. When I know how much of materials I need to buy, then we head off to the fabric stores to find exactly what yardage I want within a certain budget in mind. Then, over the next few weeks/months, I gradually start building the inner structure of the costume (Do I need to make a corset? Does it need to be lined? etc.) and work my way out to the little details. If a certain area is more difficult, then I try to get mostly everything else done first, so that hard area can have my complete focus. I try to prep on each stage before anything else, so if something goes wrong, then I always have a back-up plan in mind. Vanessa was one of the more complicated costumes I've made in a while, so she took me about three months off and on. We had some very high-heat temperatures this summer, so some days it was too hot to work on her if I need an iron or other hot tool. A lot of my delay was because I underestimated the amount of fabric/supplies, and I even went back and remade a couple of pieces to fit better. Crazy enough, I already started talking about next year's costumes with friends at BlizzCon this year! My next WoW-related costume is going to be the Embersilk dress that I like wearing on my character when I'm just goofing off around Azeroth. I wanted to have it for this year, but Vanessa was being needy and took too much of my time! We've been discussing the fun idea of possibly making Edwin Vancleef for my boyfriend so we can start a giant group of Defias Brotherhood followers, but if I say more I'll have to bring out the Nightmare Elixir ... There are a few other bigger ideas being thrown out on the table, but I'm without a job right now, so it all depends on when I get one and how much money we can save up in time. My boyfriend definitely wants to get ambitious next year, but we'll see what happens ... It's definitely his turn for something complicated to wear. We only had time to make him Harrison Jones this year, sans a few details, but he still had fun and was happy that people recognized him! Do you have any advice for those that would like to try their hand at cosplay? Start small and ask for help if you need it, but don't take advantage of that help, and learn what you can. I've seen way too many people over the years say their first costume is going to be something insanely complicated, and either they don't finish or it comes out looking like a hot mess. Many people have tutorials up for how to make things these days, so it doesn't hurt to save up a folder of them for future reference. I always do this and also have huge folders full of character references. A lot of my experience grew from taking costume classes in college and summer volunteer work at a theater. Another huge piece of advice is to always start early. I had a big problem with this, and the quality of my costumes paid the price. When I got tired of it, I just started getting my butt in gear months before, and the results on my work were much better. It makes a big difference from working on a costume piece three months in advance than trying to cram it all in one week. Anything else you'd like to add? Cosplay is a great way to express yourself and develop new and interesting skills. I've found a tight group of friends through the hobby and the love of my life. I don't see myself as some kind of celebrity and I never will, because it's just a hobby with some very talented people making cool things. I always value my privacy, but it's also nice to get out there and hang out with completely new people that like what you do. As fun as it is, you have to remember to maintain balance in your life and not devote every penny to it. Personally, I'm waiting until I get my job before I work on my next costume, so instead I've been planning small craft projects from all of my scrap fabrics ... Maybe they'll be WoW-related? We'll have to see! Well if they are, please do send them in. We'd love to see them! Thanks for taking the time to chat, Kristie, and good luck on your future projects! If you'd like to see more of Kristie's work, you can check out her page on DeviantART, or take a look at her page on Cosplay.com. Are you a cosplayer? Did you hit the halls of BlizzCon?

People ogle over her because she shows a bit of thigh, and she already ruined one 'season' of two bosses enter because of that. Cosplay is really nice, though, just wish I could for once NOT hear of vanessa for a change. especially with her god awful voice acting. Yuck! Rubitard Nov 3rd 2011 10:03PM Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! Vanessa! scarebro Nov 3rd 2011 10:18PM but she's like scarecrow, just british. and hot. Harvoc Nov 3rd 2011 11:10PM Who is that comic talking about? scarebro Nov 4th 2011 1:17AM @ harvoc phobia! she really is scarecrow, just british and hot. Bossy Nov 4th 2011 5:31AM Hmm. First time I met Vanessa in game was with my new Human Hunter in CATA launch. Fantastic Deadmines experience. Love at first sight ! After I met her again in the Heroics, the love was gone I guess. Heroic dead mines didn't do her any good. She is now responsible for the most bizzare long running and boring Heroic dungeon run in the history of WOW. And instead of seeing it as a "challenge" (like I did with the year long trial on Maulgar the first boss on Gruul), I now see this long dreadful pain in the ass as a piece of XXX in dungeon design. Actually I hate her with a vengeance and I push the quit button the moment I enter the dungeon. Sorry Vanessa. vocenoctum Nov 4th 2011 5:33PM Deadmines and Stonecore were the two I dropped constantly. Deadmines depended on the bot, the trash was irksome, the gauntlet, ripsnarl. Cookie was so-so, but it's another of those dungeons hindered by the fact if someone hadn't done it, they were afraid to admit it. If they said they didn't, and you explained the rope, no issues, but they never would admit it, so KABOOM. (Assuming someone didn't fall off the boat and reset the encounter...) Also, Camera Angles, bleh. Stonecore: Trash before first boss, first boss (AE DAMNIT!), dragon boss (omg, why didn't healer heal me! Why did he break LOS!), trash before stoneboss, then Stoneboss. And both are long without being able to reduce time much.

Potato Chips, the sandwich shop closed last summer by owner Steve Arroyo, is now reopen on Stanley Ave. According to Daily Candy, Arroyo shuttered the original location of his taco shop, Escuela, for the reopening of Chips, which had itself been closed in 2012 to become Otra Escuela, an expanded sister restaurant to the taqueria. The deli has a sunny new coastal cape look, washed in white slats and bearing art of the Pacific surf and California cliffs. The sandwich menu includes roast beef with aged cheddar, eggplant parms, grinders with roast turkey, and meatball subs on locally baked bread, complimented by the chip selection, which features old school crisps like Utz and Zapp's. The news may also bode well for anyone still hoping for some sort of return of Arroyo's Matadors & Cobras, which shuttered its first and final location in the winter of 2012. Potato Chips, 308 N. Stanley Ave. Los Angeles; 323-939-8226. Potato Chips Deli Reopens on Beverly [DC]

Hit and Runs and Auto Insurance Hit and runs and auto insurance have a rather unique relationship one to the other. In strict insurance terms, hit and run accidents are classified by providers as uninsured motorist crashes. In other words, if you are victimized by a hit and run whether your car is parked or out on the road and the perpetrator is not located, your insurer will treat the case the same as any other uninsured motorist accident. If the negligent driver is not located, your uninsured motorist insurance will be accessed to pay for your bodily injuries and other associated expenses. If you do not carry uninsured motorist insurance, you might be in for a rough road ahead trying to get your expenses paid for. Hit and Run Accidents Explained In the most general terms, a hit and run accident is simply one in which one of the drivers involved (usually but not always the negligent driver) leaves the scene of the accident for one reason or another. Since they are often apprehended before too long, it is easy to draw from historical data to come to some conclusions on common reasons drivers flee from accident scenes. One common reason is fear of legal consequences. Motorists operating a vehicle on a suspended or revoked license often flee to avoid complicating matters further in their fight to regain legal driving privileges. Others leave the scene because they simply do not want to get in trouble and they know they are going to be held liable. This is often the case in accidents where a driver hits a parked car in a parking lot or on the side of a street. Still others flee the scene of an accident whether or not they were to blame because they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or are carrying firearms or other items that can get them into trouble with law enforcement officials. And still others take off because they actually are driving with no insurance and do not want to face the consequences for that decision. For every accident of the hit and run variety, there is a different reason behind the choice drivers make to flee the scene. How these Accidents Affect Insurance Hit and run accidents are all too common on the nation's roads and highways. Their frequency goes up during tough economic times, probably mainly due to correspondingly higher uninsured motorist rates that also usually accompany such tough times. For the motor vehicle insurance policy holders who actually abide by state laws and keep up their policies, these accidents are a source of endless frustration. If it weren't for hit and run accidents, uninsured motorist insurance wouldn't be so costly. The decisions of a relative few among us end up costing the law abiding majority money on their policies. Yet we only have so much room to complain. Yes, the addition of uninsured motorist insurance does contribute to the cost of our policies. And in some states uninsured insurance is required by state government mandates. Those of us who keep the law and pay that insurance bill faithfully every six months do grumble from time to time, but to keep this expense in perspective, we need to consider the alternative. If your vehicle was struck by an uninsured motorist or you were the victim of a hit and run and sustained major damage to your vehicle, your uninsured policy would take care of the cost of your medical treatment and other associated costs stemming from the accident. With no such policy in place, you would be in a much worse position as a driver and a patient. The cost of coverage for a policy that theoretically shouldn't be necessary can be a source of frustration, but its premium is a small price to pay for the big savings it can net you as a covered driver in the event of a hit and run or other accident involving an uninsured motorist. Get Hit and Run Coverage With no insurance set aside for uninsured motorists, you do have the option of suing the guilty party if he or she is ever found. But this action could take months or even years to get through the courts, and there is no guarantee of a successful outcome. Even if you win, there is still the matter of actually collecting. And how many uninsured drivers have extra cash laying around to pay for large civil judgments? Uninsured motorist hit and run insurance is a great asset to add to your complete auto insurance policy. For a relatively small addition to your annual premium, you can protect yourself in a substantial way from various threats. Protect yourself from hit and run car accidents and other threats with uninsured motorist automobile insurance.
Las Vegas, NV -- It's not every day that a Quarter Horse race can capture the attention of the horse racing world, but that is exactly what will happen this upcoming Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 5, at Ruidoso Downs. The New Mexico horse track is set to host the $2.4 million All-American Futurity, in what will be North America's richest purse for 2-year-old racehorses. There will be a Quarter Horse record, $1.2 million awarded to the race's winner. Another record this race has already set is the 26 trial races that have narrowed down the fastest times to give us a 10-horse field. The fastest of them all was Ochoa, ridden by jockey Jack Martin and trained by Dwayne "Sleepy" Gilbreath. Ochoa will attempt to bring his trainer, Gilbreath, his third victory in the All-American Futurity. He previously won with On A High in 1983 and with Refrigerator in 1990. However, Gilbreath is focused on winning the race for Ochoa's co-owner, Johnny T.L. Jones. He recently was quoted saying, "I want to win this race for that man right there [pointing to Jones in the winners circle]. He's been a friend for a long, long time and I want this for him." All-American Futurity betting at Ruidoso Downs at Off Track Betting The horse with the second fastest qualifying time was Wayne Barton's Lotta Love For Robyn, who finished second to Ochoa in their time trial race. Lotta Love For Robyn is trained by John Bassett, will be ridden by Saul Ramirez Jr., and qualified with a time of :21.145. The times posted by the horses in the trials were run at the same distance for the All-American Futurity at 440 yards. While the actual All-American Futurity at Ruidoso Downs is much shorter than the buildup to the race, it is nothing short of exhilarating. Watching this race can give even the mildest of fans a jolt of adrenaline. It's the fastest horses, competing for the industry's biggest payout. So this Labor Day, make sure not to miss out on Quarter Horse Racing's most important race, the $2.4 million All-American Futurity.

Serenity Amidst Chaos: Keeping It Alive. Labels: Christian Right, Cindy Jacobs, Park Merced, Rick Santorum, SERENITY That's what we all strive for, I guess. I took a stroll around Lake Merced - for the first time since I've moved here. I set aside the thoughts of the day: Rick Santorum's win in Iowa, Cindy Jacobs' fake miracles, the unabashed righteous arrogance of the Christian Right, the political circus yet to come. The good and the bad of living in SF's Park Merced: it's remoteness. Cabs won't come here. MUNI's M line is the pits and really the only thing out here transit-wise. Some long time residents of SF don't even know where it is. They think it's in Oakland. But the serenity of Lake Merced is awesome and exactly a twenty-two minute walk from my apartment. Even though I fought too hard to keep my apartment here, there are times that I wonder: why? Thank God for my stroll.

oseph Hale, son of Edward Jones Hale and Sarah Jane Walker, was graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1860 as valedictorian. He worked briefly for his father, who was founding editor of the Fayetteville Observer, before enlisting in the Confederate Army. He achieved the rank of major in the Confederate army and remained in service until his surrender with Lane's Brigade at Appomattox. Because of the Observer's support of the Confederacy, Sherman had destroyed its printing presses, which put a temporary end to the enterprise. After the war, Hale entered a mercantile house in New York, where he eventually became a partner. He moved back to North Carolina in 1875 and, in 1882, reestablished the Fayetteville Observer. Hale was a delegate to the National Democratic Convention in 1884 for which he drafted a tariff plank for its platform. The following year, he was appointed to the position of consul to Manchester, England, a key post because of extensive cotton trade between the South and the manufacturing interests in that city. After his consulship, Hale became the confidential financial agent of the North England Trust Company and was sent to India to investigate the indigo industry and make investments. From 1890 to 1891, he lived in New York as commissioner of the Manchester Ship Canal in North America. Hale returned to North Carolina in 1892 and resumed the editorship of the Observer and his position in state politics. In 1894, he was again a member of the North Carolina Democratic Convention, drawing up the National part of the State Platform. He served again in 1896, 1900, 1904 and 1906.Back to Top The collection includes correspondence and other papers of E. J. Hale and Hale family members.

August 11, 2007 (KHARTOUM) — Sudanese charity groups married off some 1,250 young Sudanese men and women on Friday in a mass wedding ceremony in a tent in the grounds of Khartoum’s Shahid mosque. The combined celebration and contract-signing, organized and funded by the charities "Ihsan" and the Council of Alms, provided weddings under sharia law for young people who would otherwise have trouble affording a traditional wedding, organizers said. "We need to make marriage simple. This is the Islamic way," said Tayyib Abdullah, director of Ihsan. In Sudan, where decades of war and recent U.S. government sanctions have made life expensive for an impoverished population, marriage can be a daunting financial burden. Many young people have to save for years before they can afford a wedding, which in traditional Sudanese society can involve a large dowry in addition to celebration costs and setting up a household. In the large enclosure of the Shahid mosque, hundreds gathered below a shady red cloth canopy after Friday prayers. Colourfully-dressed women ululated and clapped as men dressed in white performed a traditional dance with swords held high. "This is a blessed day, a sweet day," 20-year-old bride Shadia Shezali Youssef said, sitting among female relatives, her hands covered in a dark henna floral design. "It makes it easier for people, to gather them together like this for marriage," she said, adding that each newlywed couple would leave with a suitcase full of clothes, kitchenware and a present from the organization. Abdullah said the mass wedding was the sixth the charity had organized in the past five years. (Reuters)

At Visiting Angels® Charlottesville, we're committed to working with our clients and their families to provide senior care services that help prevent these dangerous falls. Below, we've listed some of the ways our caregivers can work with you to help prevent your loved one from falling. Seniors are sometimes prescribed medication whose side-effects, like dizziness and balance problems, can increase their risk of falling. You can help lower your loved one's risk of falling by encouraging them to regularly review their medications with their doctor. Our senior care services at Visiting Angels Charlottesville help to lower any unnecessary side-effects from medications by providing medication reminders to ensure our clients take the right dose at the right time. Several day-to-day tasks that your loved one is used to performing may now put them at a higher risk of falling. Activities such as vacuuming where your loved one might trip over a loose cord, or meal preparation if your loved one has to climb a stepladder to reach a top shelf, put your loved one at a higher risk of falling. It's important to remove tripping hazards around your loved one's home, and educate family members about how to keep your loved one safe. If your loved one requires help with day-to-day tasks, the senior care services we provide in the Charlotte area may be right for them. We offer assistance with a variety of activities, including light housekeeping and meal preparation to keep our clients from having to perform higher-risk activities. Care Services for Seniors in Charlottesville with Mobility Issues If your loved one suffers from mobility issues or strength concerns, their chances of falling may be increased. By encouraging your loved one to enroll in a light exercise program, you can help them build up their strength and balance. At Visiting Angels Charlottesville, our personal care services help keep seniors with strength concerns and mobility issues safe from falling by offering bathing and dressing assistance as well as monitoring and mobility assistance. Call Visiting Angels Charlottesville today to learn more about how our senior care services can help your loved one.

These are intensive four hour weekend workshops. They are designed to give you a helping hand when it comes to mastering the moves. With a restricted number of couples per workshop, the atmosphere is very relaxed and the teacher is able to spend time helping you to develop your style and technique. Beginners I & Beginners II These workshops are designed for people with very little or no dance experience and gives you a great start to help you on your way. There are 18 beginners’ moves, which are covered in two beginners Cerocshops. Half of the moves are covered in the Beginners I Cerocshop and half are covered in Beginners II. Both of these Ceroc shops are aimed at complete beginners, so it does not matter which order you attend them in i.e. you could do the Beginners II before you do the Beginners I. As well as being taught the moves you will also learn how to string them together so you can "freestyle" your way through a dance. Beginners Plus This workshop is designed to consolidate what you have learned in Beginners One and Two. In these classes, "families" of moves will be explained in more detail e.g. you will already have learnt the Yoyo in Beginners Two, then in Beginners Plus you will learn up to five variations that make up the Yoyo family. This will greatly increase the number of moves you have in your repertoire to use in freestyles, without actually having to learn completely new moves. As you already know the Beginners moves, Beginners Plus will be taught at a faster rate than Beginners One and Two.

Christian Counseling Ethics, by Sanders, Randolph K., Ph.D. Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases. - ISBN: 9780830839940 \| 0830839941 - Cover: Paperback Since its publication,Christian Counseling Ethicshas. Christian professional therapists are also increasingly involved in providing services to members of the military and their families or in providing services through governmental agencies, which bring their own unique ethical concerns. New chapters are devoted to these as well.The book retains the core chapters on counseling ethics that have made it so valuable in a wide variety of settings. Now fully updated, these reflect the revisions in professional codes of conduct in regard to both the emergence of new issues and the rapid advance of thought about the ethical practice of psychotherapy.In addition, psychotherapy ethics tend to focus on the rules and principles for ethical practice, attempting to ensure that therapists behave correctly. While such principles are duly covered, virtue ethics and the development of character within the Christian therapist receive special attention.Written by a cadre of highly qualified professional counselors and scholars, this book remains an indispensable resource for understanding and applying ethics in Christian counseling.
Knowledge hoarded is of no value, and therefore it is in the classroom that one finds the heart of the university professor’s mandate. In my small lecture courses, larger film classes, and seminars, I seek to bring a highly interactive style that fosters frequent student participation in the shared process of learning. One concern I have for most of my undergraduate courses is to expose students to primary sources from the traditions in question, hearing directly the voices of religious others and learning how to analyze texts, films, and other media with an informed critical eye—skills I consider important for responsible life in our newly digital citizenry. Clear communication is also a crucial skill in today’s world, and to that end I assign many papers over the course of the term so that students have an opportunity to improve their abilities at formulating arguments, marshaling appropriate evidence, and developing a voice that is persuasive and sophisticated. At the undergraduate level, my teaching clusters into three primary areas. First is work on North America. Approximately every 1-2 years I teach RS 219 Religion in America, which provides a historical overview from pre-Columbian times to the present of religious trends in the area that became the United States of America, focusing on specific religious traditions, recurrent themes, major events, and especially the interactions between religions and between religion and other aspects of society. On a more occasional basis, I also teach RS 222 Sacred Places in North America, which looks at the many types of places designated as religious by various religions, considering such factors as architecture, art, ritual use, contests over meaning, the use of power to claim space, and changing definitions of what can qualify as sacred. Another occasional course is RS 227 Buddhism in North America, a seminar that explores the myriad Buddhist traditions practices in the United States and Canada, and provides the opportunity to conduct an in-depth research project. For students wishing to go further with their studies in this area, I sometimes offer RS 398 Directed Readings in Buddhism in North America. For those interested in Islam, race, or new religious movements, I teach RS 398 Black Muslims in the Americas. A further course, RS 114 Sex, Politics, and Religion in North America, is currently in development. A second area of teaching is in East Asian studies. Alternating one year or the next, I teach RS 201R/EASIA 205R Religion in East Asia and RS 206R/EASIA 206R Japanese Religion. The former course provides basic information on religious and ideological traditions in China, Korea, and Japan, including Daoism, Confucianism, Buddhism, Shamanism, Christianity, and Communism. RS 206R Japanese Religion dwells on Japan specifically for an entire term, providing deeper exploration of the world of Shinto, Buddhism, Chinese traditions, Western influences, and new religious movements in premodern and contemporary Japan. In addition to my regular office hours and the time spent in the classroom every week, some semesters I run a weekly optional workshop wherein we read our translated Japanese primary sources together, examining them in light of our secondary readings and the forms of analysis laid out in course lecture. RS 206R is usually followed in the Winter term by RS 275 Religion and Japanese Film, which aims to convey information about Japanese religion via movies and to develop understanding of the religious and cultural ideas embedded in Japanese pop cultural artifacts. I also offer a more advanced version, RS 391 Japanese Religion and Visual Culture, which considers further media such as manga and anime, and traditional arts such as noh, kabuki, and bunraku theatre, as well as folk arts such as ema. Students interested in the Buddhist tradition can take RS 204 Buddhism, offered every 2-3 years. I offer several more advanced East Asian courses including RS 301/EASIA 330R Pure Land Buddhism, RS 304 Zen Buddhism (aka Zen and Now), and RS 398 Religion in Contemporary Japan, which are provided on an occasional basis. A new course, RS 123/EASIA 120R Monsters and Magic in Japanese Popular Culture, will be debuted in the Winter 2017 term. A third area of significant undergraduate teaching is theory and methods in the study of religion. There are three primary courses in this area which I typically teach in an alternating fashion year-to-year. First is RS 125 Introduction to Religion, which exposes students to the academic study of religion as an influential facet of culture, developing skills for critical understanding of the role religion plays and has played in various societies. This is accomplished through examination of specific religious traditions and by frequent attention to current events involving religion in some fashion. RS 260 How to Study Religion is required for all RS major and minors. It provides a comprehensive overview of theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of religion, including sociological, anthropological, historical, feminist, and other modes of investigation. This provides a toolbox of possible ideas and techniques to take into the student’s future courses and in their observations of religious phenomena in the real world. And RS 499 Honours Seminar in the Study of Religion provides advanced instruction for our top majors and minors, often as a preliminary to graduate school application. There are two other courses that I have taught frequently, RS 120 Religious Quests and RS 271/FINE 254 Themes in Religion and Film. I am no longer offering these courses in my standard rotation, but RS 271 is taught often by my colleague Douglas Cowan, and either may be offered upon student request.

However, firearms dealers are subject to state laws governing gun sales generally. See the Idaho Private Sales section for further information. Pursuant to the Brady Act, federally licensed firearms dealers must conduct background checks on prospective purchasers each time the dealer transfers a firearm.

On Sunday we managed to squeeze lots of festivities into one day! We met with the Pentecostal Church in the morning (where Tim was preaching), then celebrated the first Sunday of Advent at home with a little service the girls prepared and finished the day celebrating American Thanksgiving! A little out of order, but nobody minded! We had Marc, a potter from the States, currently working at Neema Crafts, for dinner, which aside from the puny little chicken posing as a turkey, was fairly traditional! We even had cranberry sauce! I looked all over the market for pumpkins with no success, but we splashed out on apples and with a real North American apple pie, no one was complaining. Andy and Angela joined us for coffee and apple pie and the girls excitedly presented their shadow play “The Story of Kuang-li” which you should soon be able to watch from their blog! All the festive activity was thrown together rather quickly and a lot of fun in our brief two-days at home! Early Monday morning we took the bus to Morogoro, to visit our good friends Matt and Amy Dixon who have just moved there from the UK. We arrived in time for a late lunch at Ricky’s, where they treated us to burgers! It was wonderful to see them again and meet little Finley for the first time! The girls thoroughly enjoyed playing with Elia, now almost three years old. It has been a rough start for Matt and Amy with one thing and another, but we are so glad they are in the country and excited about having them here with us in Iringa for Christmas! We commiserated over car problems and water problems among other things, enjoyed bacon butties and chats among other things, and then had to be back to the bus station for 12:30pm the next day. We got home at 6:30pm and then another quick turn-around for Tim who quickly unpacked and packed ready to go to Magozi at 7am yesterday morning. He gets back later today, but the girls and I have stayed here to sort some of the chaos of the past week and do some schoolwork! In all the excitement, we seem to have run low on all kinds of things such as food obviously, but also pig food, drinking water, electricity, phone credit … and we haven’t had time to go to the post office, where we hear there are five parcels waiting! Later ... Well after all recent niggling frustrations with things like the kettle breaking, the puppy chewing my new boots and pajamas, continuing failed efforts at the electricity company to top up our supply, failed attempts at getting internet, failure to get through the dishes and laundry (we are really missing Mama Lucy who has been sick!) we had the most wonderful failure just now! Failure to carry all the packages out of the post office!! The girls and I had been trailing around town, hot and tired with not much going as planned, when we had the most amazing, exciting visit to the post office ever! We knew we had five packages waiting for us and were already very excited about getting them! But to our amazement, we had a post box full of green slips (each green slip means a parcel is ready to be picked up) - TEN! The staff at the post office found the girls' uncontainable excitement very amusing as we waited for ages to get all the parcels brought and signed for. We signed for ten parcels and they all started coming, but further to our surprise, when we counted there were TWELVE! The woman made sure we signed all ten out, checked my ID and checked orally that I knew my name several times, and then a little confused with the extra two parcels, just handed those over as well! The girls were quite beside themselves and now can't wait for Daddy to get home and show him the pile of brown paper packages tied up with string! Talk about favourite things! Then curiousity will only grow as they wait till Christmas Day! We don't know who you are yet, but thank you so, so very, very much those of you who sent parcels! I wish you could be with us to share in the great excitement! I'll stop now as I'm getting all teary-eyed! Lots of love from all of us!
